The plans for Aberdeenshire's Menie Estate were thrown out by the local authority on the casting vote of a committee chairman.
The Scottish Government will now decide whether it gets the go-ahead.
Mr Salmond said he did not think the council's procedures intended to cause a decision which was criticised.
His comments during question time at Holyrood came after it emerged that Martin Ford, the chairman of Aberdeenshire Council's infrastructure committee, whose vote led to the rejection, may face a motion of no confidence.
The council's rejection decision led to an angry reaction from many business and tourism leaders.
Labour Aberdeen Central MSP Lewis Macdonald told parliament that the situation had arisen because Aberdeenshire planning chiefs had delegated powers of authority over "vital" decisions in their own area.
He asked the first minister: "Does he agree, therefore, that the best way to protect the local decision making process in future would be for that council to urgently review its rules so that never again will a project of regional and national importance be rejected on the say so of barely 10% of its elected members."
Mr Salmond said he had noted concerns that many Aberdeenshire councillors had not been given the opportunity to vote on Mr Trump's plans, while pointing out that the issue of planning was currently under review.
'Dreadful message'
"I don't think it's helpful to attack an individual local authority," added the first minister, in whose Gordon constituency the Trump resort plans have fallen.
"I don't think there was any intent in terms of its procedures to arrive at a situation which has caused widespread criticism."
Mr Ford has said that, if he were to go, it would send out a "dreadful message" about the planning process.
Northern Ireland's First Minister Ian Paisley met Mr Trump in New York on Tuesday. Mr Trump is now considering buying land in County Antrim to develop the golf resort after his plans in Aberdeenshire were rejected.
The Aberdeenshire proposals were criticised by some environmental groups and local campaigners but also received backing from some business figures.

There has been an explosion of smartphone-powered and inspired medical technologies in the past couple of years. Only recently, scientists at the University of Essex developed a mobile app that converts the iPhone or iPod into a hearing aid. Another example is a research project at UCLA, which converts a smartphone into a fluorescent microscope and flow cytometer capable of performing medical diagnostics. Other noteworthy devices exemplifying this trend include the FDA-approved iPhone ECG and the EyeNetra visual acuity tester.
It's fitting that the aforementioned devices will be showcased in an upcoming TEDMED 2013 presentation by John Hopkins medical student Shiv Gaglani titled "The Smartphone Physical." The presentation will discuss how technology is now available to offer a clinically meaningful patient checkup using solely smartphone-powered technology.
Here, MPMN takes a quick look at the technology behind the devices that will be on display in the Smartphone Physical.

TALENTED youngsters from a local performing arts school are one step closer to fulfilling their dreams of becoming professional dancers.
The dancers, aged between seven and 15 from Tanwood School for Performing Arts, have all been given places in some of the most prestigious dance schools in the country.
Principal Pollyann Tanner said she was delighted that seven of her students had been chosen.
"It's a massive achievement for Tanwood," she said.
"Most schools would be extremely chuffed with just one of them.
"We are very proud."
Theo French, Ellie Bannister, Liberty Lee and Charlie Viret have been selected for the Associates of the Royal Ballet School, Charlie has also been chosen for Classical Ballet School at Tring Park; Megan Philips will be off to Central Ballet School Associates; Lucy Sims has been given a full time place at Elm Hurst Ballet School; and Hannah Sumner will be attending the Bristol Russian Youth Ballet Company.
For Hannah, 15, of Wanborough , the achievement is extra special.
Her mum Sarah, 43, said: "Hannah has been dancing since she was about four. She has got hearing problems in both ears and wears hearing aids, so she started dancing to try and improve her balance and it helped a lot.
"They have been very patient with her at Tanwood, she didn't always pick things up as well as the others, but they always gave her that extra personal touch and have been so supportive.
"We are so proud of her."
Theo's mum Lisa, 32, of West Swindon , said that her son is delighted with his success.
"In his age group he is the only boy at Tanwood, but there are other boys at the Associates of the Royal Ballet School, so he is pleased," she said.
"From a very young age he had a lot of rhythm – he started dancing when he was four and hasn't looked back since."
Ten-year-old Charlie's mum Julie, 41, of Haydon Wick , will be transporting her daughter to two schools at weekends, as well as keeping up with all her other hobbies.
She said: "She was on cloud nine when she found out she had been selected.
"She will be going to the Royal Ballet School every other Saturday and Tring on Sundays.
"She also comes to Tanwood and is a member of SALOS and the Kentwood Choir. She is very dedicated and a really determined girl, she always has been."
Tanwood will have an open day on September 8 from 10am to 4pm at Liberatus Studios, in the Isis Trading Estate. Staff will be on hand during the day to answer any questions and there will be free workshops.

Study of fractional softening in multi-stage hot deformation
Yarlagadda, Prasad K., Rao, K.P., & Hawbolt, E. Bruce (1998) Study of fractional softening in multi-stage hot deformation. Journal of Materials Processing Technology, 77(1-3), pp. 166-174.
In this paper, the softening behaviour of a medium-carbon steel under hot working conditions in multi-stage compression is presented. Continuous and interrupted compression tests were performed in the temperature range 800–1100 degrees Celsius at strain rates of 0.1, 1 and 8 s1. The interrupted deformations were conducted with delay times varying between 1 to 20 s after achieving a strain of approximately 0.2 to 0.4 in the first stage. The fractional softening has been predicted by three different methods, namely the offset-stress method, the back-extrapolation stress method and a currently proposed strain-recovery method. It has been found that the back-extrapolation stress method normally predicts higher reloading stress and hence a lower fractional softening than that of the offset-stress method. The strain-recovery method yields consistent results in the estimation of fractional softening that can be used in predicting the deformation mechanism.

Amino sugars are key constituents of larger compounds called glucosaminoglycans and glycoproteins, which allow cells in tissues to hold together. They are necessary for the construction and maintenance of virtually all connective tissues and lubricating fluids in the body-tendons, ligaments, cartilage, bone matrix, skin, joint fluid, intestinal lining, and mucous membranes. Source Naturals Glucosamine Sulfate is complexed with potassium chloride to enhance stability. Contains no Egg or Dairy Gluten Free Soy and Wheat Free Contains No Sugar No Artificial color, Flavor, or Fragrqances. Your Body Needs to Make Glucosamine During the course of normal wear-andtear on the body, connective tissue is constantly broken down, and then replaced or restructured, creating a continuous demand for glucosamine. Since dietary glucosamine is usually low, the body must synthesize it from glucose and the amino acid glutamine. Under normal circumstances, the body is able to meet its needs for glucosamine synthesis, but under a variety of less-than-optimal conditions, production of glucosamine – and its assembly into larger GAGs – may be impaired. These conditions include severestress, surgery, burns, major injuries, as well as aging. Source Naturals Glucosamine Sulfate N-Acetyl Glucosamine Most studies have been conducted with HDH Glucosamine Sulfate; however, another form of glucosamine is also important: N-ACETYL GLUCOSAMINE, or N-A-G™. This is because the body often adds an acetyl group to the glucosamine molecule before it can be used. Source Naturals N-A-G is glucosamine already in its acetylated form. This may be an advantage for some peoplebecause the body's ability to acetylate molecules can diminish with age or stress. In addition to individual supplements of GLUCOSAMINE SULFATE and N-A-G, Source Naturals includes both forms of glucosamine in GLUCOSAMEND™, an advanced formulation of vitamins, herbs, and other nutrients known to support the reparative process of connective tissue.Leaders of the Wellness RevolutionSource Naturals was created in 1982 by C.E.O Ira Goldberg to support each individual's potential to enjoy optimal health. At that time, the kind of nutritional formulations he envisioned – for the maintenance of well-being and the enhancement of life – simply didn't exist. The idea of combining many nutrients, herbs and nutraceuticals in one formulation, though common today, was then a rarity. Source Naturals pioneered the concept with Wellness Formula, now the industry's #1 immune support product. Source Naturals subsequently introduced numerous award-winning formulas, recognized for their excellence in independent surveys and nutritional analyses. In addition to Wellness, these award-winners include Life Force Multiple, Mega-Kid Multiple, Inflama-Rest, the Skin Eternal line, Higher Mind, Essential Enzymes, Male Response, and more.Source Naturals' comprehensive Bio-Aligned Formulas help bring the power of alignment to your body. When formulating, Source Naturals evaluates the underlying causes of system imbalances, and then provides targeted nutrition to interdependent body systems. Source Naturals' line of more than 600 products also includes well-researched, single entity nutrients in their highest quality and most bioavailable forms. Source Naturals nutritional supplements are at the leading edge of today's Wellness Revolution. This transformation in health consciousness also includes new perspectives in diet, lifestyle, emotional and spiritual development, and complementary health care. Source Naturals Strategy for Wellness is to provide education that empowers individuals to take responsibility for their health, rather than relying solely on outside medical authority. The result is people who are more productive and fulfilled, and a world that is stronger and healthier.

Caring For Your Furniture
Wood Care
Keeping your new wood furniture looking beautiful is as easy as 1-2-3.
1. Dusting: Dust is a natural enemy to your furniture as it can create microscopic scratches that dull the finish overtime. To help prevent premature wear, dust at least once a week with a soft, clean cloth that won't scratch your furniture and will pick up dust, rather than spread it around. Fiesta Furnishings recommends the Guardsman Ultimate Dusting Cloth, which locks in dust without the use of a dusting spray. Dusting sprays can leave a dull residue on your furniture and will attract more dust build-up. Be sure to wipe the cloth in the same direction of the wood grain.
2. Cleaning: Occasionally, you'll want to give your furniture a good cleaning. If the piece is used frequently, such as a kitchen table, you may need to clean it every week. Water and detergent are too harsh for many wood surfaces. Instead, use Guardsman Wood Cleaner, which is an ideal way to remove built up grime and fingerprints. Spray the Wood Cleaner on a clean, soft, cotton cloth, (such as the Guardsman Applicator Cloth) and wipe the surface in the direction of the wood grain.
3. Polishing: To restore luster to your finish polish your wood regularly, at least twice a month. Use a product that doesn't contain waxes or silicone as these materials can leave residues that affect your furniture's finish. Guardsman Wood Polish is ideal as it enhances your wood's natural luster without leaving undesirable residues behind. Apply the polish to a soft, clean cotton cloth and wipe the furniture in the direction of the wood grain.
If you have purchased oiled wood furniture, you need to use a polish that contains no water. We suggest using Guardsman Lemon Oil - It can be used on any wood furniture, and adds additional protection as it contains UV sun block.
Regardless of how careful you are, you still may need other products that we offer in our stores to address problems that may occur as you use your furniture:
Scratch Covers to hide microscopic blemishes that may have accumulated.
Touch-Up Markers and Filler Sticks for more serious scratches or gouges.
Guardsman Water Ring and Mark Remover are great for water ring or heat marks on your wood furniture.
Fabric Care
Fiesta Furnishings recommends Guardsman Fabric Care Products because they can keep fabric upholstery, window treatments and carpets looking their best from the moment they arrive in your home. Guardsman fabric care products never affect the original look or feel of fabric and leave no soil-attracting residues.
Protect Against Stains Shields fabric and upholstery against many damaging soils, spills and stains. Guardsman Fabric Protector can be used to shield many fabrics from stains and soiling. Use it on upholstery, microfiber, rugs, carpeting, drapery, table linens, auto fabric interiors, fabric apparel, nubuck, aniline, and suede leathers.
- Protects fabric so it looks cleaner longer
- Creates an invisible shield for easier cleaning
- Maintains the original look, feel, and breath ability of fabrics
- Odorless when dry
Fabric First Aid Stain Remover Kit Intensive stain remover system that eliminates many common household stains from fabric upholstery and carpets, window treatments, as well as other household textiles.
- Food, beverage, cooking oil
- Grease, motor oil, tar
- Ink, permanent marker
- Blood, urine

everything after the usb1 (all the 1-1* sections) are dynamically allocated at the time the device is plugged in.
if you only ever plug one device into a port, then you can name things this way, but if there is a hub or multi-function device involved, it depends on the order that they are identified.
nowdays a lot of monitors and keyboards have hubs in them.

You are saying that there is no theoretical way to identify the port in an USB hub where a device is inserted. So my scheme kind'a works only because it correctly identifies separate buses, and because already plugged devices in the same bus are enumerated in the same order. But if I start unplugging and plugging devices attached directly to a hub, I am screwed.
If I only could get my hands on the idiots who designed USB :-) Starting from the asymmetric connector and now down to this.
All that said, my complaint about the PCI device identification in the device model is still valid.

the thing you need to remember about USB is that is was initially designed for cheap, low-end, low speed devices like keyboards. Electrically it is a _very_ simple design.
you have four wires
the signaling over the data and clock wires is also pretty primitive (it's basically the i2c bus with a little more definition over the data standard)
all that a non-powered USB hub consists of is multiple sockets wired together (NO active electronics at all)
a powered hub is only required to add a power supply to this.
(now frequently hubs do add a bit more logic so that they can respond to queries from devices to answer how much power they can provide, but that's not a requirement of the USB 1.0 spec)
as for the funny connector, it was designed primarily to be cheap, then to be durable. it was copied from one of the popular console game systems that used it for the joysticks. They then made the ends of the cable different to make it impossible to plug things in incorrectly (and then people didn't like the size of the connector, so they made a different one, and a different one,.....)
over time things have gotten faster (by a factor of 100 or so), but everything is still backwards compatible so that you can take the oldest USB device and plug it into the newest system and things will work (everything on the bus will slow down to the speed of the slowest device on the bus, but it will function). USB was designed to be _extremely_ forgiving for slow or extremely low capability devices
device identification on USB is supposed by be done by a unique identifier in each device, but as USB interfaces have gotten cheaper (and moved from needing several chips, including separate rom/ram chips to being a tiny section of built-in logic 'thrown in' on a $5 chip in addition to the main functionality) the process and capability to give each device a unique serial number has fallen by the wayside (and/or cheap, short-sighted manufacturers have opted to shave pennies off their costs by not bothering to program the serial numbers on the devices) and the result is that sometimes there is no theoretical way to tell two devices apart once you are talking to them (you have to depend on what bus are they plugged into, which falls apart with hubs, at which point the only thing you can do is to depend on what order they were plugged in)
USB today is doing things never imagined by the designers, and in fact doing things that if you had asked the designers, they would have told you were explicitly _not_ in the world of things they designed USB for (due to the cost of implementing the interface with the technology of the time). For a lot of things that USB is being used for today, their answer would have been "use FireWire, it's designed for that sort of performance"

In our case, we are using several USB to serial converters plugged into a couple of hubs. They are supposed to be the same, so it is not the manufacturers fault that they are indistinguishable by anything other than their physical connection. Unfortunately there is no reasonably priced alternative to USB,
A single multi-port USB to serial converter would address this nicely, but
we have evaluated about a dozen of them, and while all they work perfectly in Windows, they are either unsupported in Linux at all, or horribly broken (like dropping a byte every couple of hours). It is an embarrassing shame. I wish our company had the resources to sponsor somebody to fix that.
The only multi-port converter that worked well (other than not having its "non-free" firmware in Debian), and was reasonably cheap and available in the USA, was an old Keyspan 4-port model, which is no longer manufactured...

However I see how a hybrid solution could work. Our current approach with PHYSDEVPATH does work if all devices are plugged in, so knowing that this the case we could use it to automatically generate a one time mapping from a USB serial number to location. It is still a pain because the mapping will have to be re-generated if a converter is replaced (and they do fail out in the field, being the cheap pieces of garbage that they are), but it is a conceptually robust solution.
Sigh, I do miss the olden days of ISA, i2c and even PCI. Now PCIE has been relegated to being a "server technology" in practice.

as for other technologies,
i2c has the exact same problem as USB, the only identity possible is what's reported by the device.
PCI has a slot number ID, but I've seen different versions of the kernel detect the multiple PCI buses in a different order
ISA didn't have any slot identifier, everything was based on the configuration of the individual board.
depending on how many of these serial adapters you need, your best bet may be to buy them from a more upstream provider, you could probably get someone to program a bunch of them with a set of identifiers (i.e. if you need 5 serial ports, get a bunch of them labeled and electronicly identified as #1, a bunch as #2, etc), then your udev rules could map them properly and your only limitation would be that you only replace a #1 with a #1

About PCI: you don't use the bus number at all. The sequence of PCI device:function id-s starting from the root bridge through all downstream bridges and ending at the device gives you a guaranteed unique mapping for that hardware regardless of BIOS, kernel, etc. You only need to define a mapping once for a motherboard/CompactPCI chassis and you get a reliable physical slot identification. That is how it is supposed to work and incidentally that is how Windows identifies its PCI devices.
udev and sysfs provide the same information, so it is technically possible to get the same functionality in Linux.
In a previous life I had to do stuff like hack an embedded PC BIOS and Windows bus driver to support huge numbers of PCI devices. The BIOS code was so bad it was scary (to this day I am impressed that PCs can boot at all), but the PCI bus itself at the logical level was a joy.
So purely as a user of USB, I naively believed that it was similar to PCI.
And I am surprised you commented on i2c. It is fundamentally different from USB - the device ids are fixed, or you can choose a bit at most (in hardware). There is no plug and play. Often you can't even have two devices of the same kind on the same bus. It takes half an hour to implement I2C from scratch via bit banging :-)
And ISA. Oh, ISA... It didn't have slot id-s, but it did have jumpers :-) Not to mention you could actually build an ISA board from scratch and do the decoding manually with wires... Good times.

as for USB vs i2c, if you look at the low-level over-the-wire protocol, i believe that USB is really a superset of i2c. you can bit-bang a USB interface as well, (although not very efficiently), USB adds an additional layer of software and standard definitions over the raw wire protocol.
I could be mistake, but when I first learned about USB I was looking very closely at i2c for other things and I remembering that they were extremely similar at the hardware/signaling level

I think my point, to the extent that I even have a point beyond just being nostalgic about times when there was more direct control over hardware, is that in I2C there is no discovery. The device type is the device address. The devices and their ids are by definition fixed and known in advance. So, the question of identifying the physical location of a I2C device doesn't even exist. I2C is good for what it does.
With USB by contrast, you are identifying devices that look externally the same by a hidden magic serial number. There is a fundamental usability problem.
If I have two USB mouses which are _exactly_ the same, why do they need appear as separate devices to the computer? That makes no sense at all. If I plug them in the same PC at the same time, the only thing that really differentiates them is the USB connector.
Imagine a hypothetical product where users can interact with multiple virtual machines running on the same PC, using multiple video cards, mice and keyboards. It is pure idiocy to have to associate the keyboards and mice to the virtual machines by their unique USB serial number rather than the USB connector where they are plugged.
In other words, ideally USB hubs should have been designed to function like PCI-PCI bridges. Oh well, that is not a Linux problem :-)

USB Serial port woes
Posted Jun 26, 2011 16:31 UTC (Sun) by speedster1 (subscriber, #8143) [Link]
Do they _really_ work perfectly in Windows? In my experience, cheap serial converters are prone to dropping a byte now and then, and when I searched online it turned out that it was hardware not drivers -- Windows users would experience the same problem given the same level of usage and attention to detail (it just happens a lot less often, because there are more of us Linux developers making heavy use of serial ports).
Sorry I can't find an actual reference explaining the hardware issue on a common PLX usb-serial chip; there is no sufficient replacement yet for the recently-discontinued Google Linux search :`-(
I agree that keyspan did not have these problems, but they were significantly more expensive and seem to have lost out to the even cheaper but somewhat flaky adapters...
If there are current multi-port adapters that really do have higher quality chips in them (i.e. like keyspan rather than PLX) but lack Linux drivers, then somebody should get in touch with the Linux Driver Project and donate such an adapter!

There is one additional piece of information however, which can explain at least part of what I saw:
Most of the multiport USB-to-serial adapters are in fact a USB hub with ordinary single-port adapters hanging from it. The problem is that the hub is USB 2.0 while the serial adapters themselves are USB 1.0. Linux kernels at least up to 2.6.26 had a bug where USB 1.0 devices did not work reliably behind a USB 2.0 bridge.
I have complained about this problem before on LWN and I got advice to try other config settings, which I did, but saw no improvement.
I am not 100% sure the problems were caused by this and it is also possible that it has been fixed in later kernel versions.

If your problem is instead a more generic 2.0 hub driver problem, could you post a link discussing it? With details, I might be able to go check commit messages to see if it has supposedly been fixed.

BTW, we have been using PL2303 USB-to-serial adapters and we haven't had any issues with them, as long as (important!) USB 2.0 is disabled.

How To Tell If She's All Botoxed Up
The way to instantly tell if your favorite celeb—or favorite suspected filler-happy friend—has had Botox? Look for "bunny lines," according to the Daily Mail are when you have a totally smooth forehead but peculiar wrinkles beside your nose when you smile. Look at TK above, look at the sides of her (upper) nose. Now, this is all news to me—does this news mean we'll be able to tell the celebs that lie about their use of Botox? Not that I'm judging, hey, if you want to get injections, that's your decision—just don't consistently lie about it and credit your awesome diet for the wrinkle free face. After the jump, we play show-and-tell with a bunch of celebs and their frozen foreheads!

Ah, our last free day has come. We learned too late that, instead of museums being closed on Sundays, such as things are in the U.S., in Japan, they are closed on Mondays. Which was incedentally our last day, and the day we planned on going to the Nara National Museum and the Kamigata Ukio-e museum. This was not to be.
Instead, we went to Takarazuka- a small city known widely for being home to the Takarazuka Revue- an all female acting troupe that performs gigantic musicals in lavish costumes, from their staple "Rose of Versailles" and other manga-based shows, to eastern and western acts, such as "West Side Story."
But I was not here for the Revue (maybe another time. Can I have another time? There is just so much to do here...) but for the Osamu Tezuka Manga Museum. Tezuka is known as the "godfather" of manga, and is most well known as the creator of "Astro-Boy" (Tetsuwan Atom.)
Takarazuka turned out to be a beautiful little city. The path to the museum (and the Grand Revue Theatre) was a flower lined path called "Hana no Michi" (unmysteriously meaning "flower path.") It was blooming in full with cherry blossoms, dogwoods, tulips, and more. I was especially in love with the giant purple dogwood flowers. The path also had statues representing Revue show genres, which were very cool.
Finally, we arrived at the Tezuka Museum. It was small, but dense with interesting information. Tezuka was prolific, and so each room was packed with information and pictures.
The first things we saw were states of his famous figures. The giant Phoenix stood outside, and life sized Princess Ribon and Astro Boy were inside. Luckily, we were permitted photos in almost every area of the museum!
The first room had rotating tubes exhibiting original comic pages, cels, sketches, paintings, and merchandise from his works. It was amazing to see the process. Some of the comic pages were over fifty years old, with the lettering paper having faded to brown. I always find "sketch to ink to paint" processes especially fascinating, as well as drawings of original concepts that final products deviate from in interesting ways. And it is always amazing to revisit the obvious similarities between "Kimba the Jungle Emperor" (1950) and "The Lion King." (1994)
Moving on, we found a exhibit of all the volumes of his works, from the late 1930s and onward, including reprinted volumes. It was stunning to see the sheer number of volumes he created. We also saw a wing dedicated to his early apartment-mates- manga artists from the 40's and 50's that lived in one apartment building and formed fast bonds. It was a touching dedication to the community he worked in. Each artist was highlighted by the apartment they lived in, the work they did, and photographs and drawings.
The whole museum was decked out with his work- walls, ceilings, fixtures- even the elevators had frosted glass mirrors depicting his characters.
After that, we went back to Osaka. Our job was to find the second Mandarake Store in Umeda. So it was back to Dotomburi! We hard a rough time figuring out where it was- we did a lot of walking- only to find that it was mere meters away from where we had gone to Karaoke earlier in the week. This shop has less figures and more doujinshi (fan comics.) I finally got up the nerve to ask where some of my favorite series comics were, and I'm glad I did, because I found some really good ones, for really cheap!
Afterwards, we met up with Rob for one last hurrah. We ate at a nice variety restaurant where I had chicken katsu, potato wedges, burdock root tempura salad, and tried sake. Which wasn't terrible.
We did one final karaoke, and then went home to pack up. We had a full day- nay, over a day's worth- of travelling to do starting in the morning.
Everything fit in our bags, on the lucky account that I packed our bags only half full. There were stuffed to the brim upon return, though. I blame the stuffed ram and Mami dolls.
We took a taxi to the train station. We took the train to Osaka Station. We took the Hikari train 3 hours back to Tokyo. We took the Narita Express one hour to the airport. We took a 13 hour flight to Atlanta (which DID give us vegetarian meals this time!), and then a two hour flight back to Boston, where JShea rescued us, and then we drove the last two hours home. We had been travelling for 30 hours.
We're happy to be back!
There will be more blog posts to come- summaries on shopping, traveling, eating vegan, and communicating, so continue to read if you're interested!

Hello Helen
Congratulations! - you have now reached the most fascinating part of family history - the "why" stage.
I think most of us begin with the intent of connecting the dots, but eventually we are drawn into questions of why did they move?? My experience was similar to yours, I had Austin's in Clyst Honiton for generations then suddenly all but one family vanished in the early part of the 1800's, most of them reappearing in London And this is where the really fun part is because it draws us into the social history of the time that we will feel closer to because it was something our ancestors lived through. In my case and yours, the huge event of the time was the end of the war with the French in 1815. England had been bled white for many years with the cost of the war and the conscription of the working men into the armed forces - and economic depressions invariably follow the end of war even for the victors. Add to this the effect of releasing thousands of men from the army and navy back into civilian life and you have another destabilizing effect.
We can't begin to comprehend the conditions of those days if we try to look at the past through the eyes of today. Much has been written and is available on the web but in order to get a balanced view of the England then, it is useful to read accounts from as many different backgrounds as possible, because each brings its own bias. For the bulk of us with working class ancestors we not likely to find anything written by people of that background, only about them if we are lucky. Take a look for example at this article in the New York Times of October 30 1881 http://query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=F1061FF93E5F15738DDDA90B94D8415B8184F0D3 that quotes from somewhere "To statesmen, the State as a unit, was all in all, and it is really difficult to find any evidence that people were thought of at all, except in relation to obedience" and "The Government regarded the people with little other view than as a taxable and soldier-yielding mass." The whole article is well worth reading, and worth reading slowly to savour and grasp the appalling conditions being described.
There is an interesting book on a lighter vein titled "England in 1815 as seen by a young Boston merchant." http://openlibrary.org/books/OL7051785M/England_in_1815_as_seen_by_a_young_Boston_merchant who mixes with the business class and gives some indication of his more puritan views.
And there is a more academic, almost vitriolic, treatise at http://books.google.ca/books?id=qY89AAAAIAAJ&dq=england+1815&printsec=frontcover&source=in&hl=en&ei=W8oYTazqC5S6sQOEr4igCg&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=12&ved=0CGgQ6AEwCw#v=onepage&q&f=false
called "Class and conflict in nineteenth-century England, 1815-1850".
These are just a sampling of the myriad of sources available to us on the internet, and once you start delving into it you will likely find, as I did, that it begins to put the flesh on the bones of your ancestors that previously you referred to by dates. And as you keep reading you may find your ancestors begin to gather clothes too. Continue to read and you may arrive at the day when you hear them talking to you.

James and Agnes Cole were married in Bishops Nympton in 1800 and he is listed as a sojourner.
I am looking for any clue as to why James and Agnes Cole's last child [Mary Bale Cole] was born in Tooting ca 1818? I know gypsies supposedly moved about a lot, but the Coles seem to have been very settled in the Bishops Nympton area. The previous child, Eleanor, was born in 1813, the largest gap in the birth pattern. Charles Cole doesn't list anyone after Eleanor, and there is no apparent connection with any other family event that would take them so far from Devon. Ann married Edward Eales in London in 1828, but most of the children married from 1834 onwards in Devon, and Agnes died at BN in 1837, so they'd obviously gone back there. Maybe there are school or other records to show if the Coles left Devon for a while - might also explain why Ann went to London.

The final version of a paper commissioned by the ITU entitled A Comparative Analysis of Spam Laws: The Quest for a Model Law (PDF) has been released. The paper was authored by Derek E. Bambauer, John G. Palfrey, Jr., and David E. Abrams, Berkman Center for Internet & Society, Harvard Law School, for the ITU WSIS Thematic Meeting on Cybersecurity held in Geneva, 28 June - 1 July 2005.
Executive Summary
Spam presents a significant challenge to users, Internet service providers, states, and legal systems worldwide. The costs of spam are significant and growing, and the increasing volume of spam threatens to destroy the utility of electronic mail communications.
The Chairmans Report from the ITU WSIS Thematic Meeting on Countering Spam in July 2004 emphasized the importance of a multi-faceted approach to solving the problem of spam and named legal governance as one of the necessary means. Our paper focuses on the potential nature of the legal regulation of spam, specifically the importance of harmonizing regulations in the form of a model spam law. We agree with the Chairman that the law is only one means towards this end and we urge regulators to incorporate other modes of control into their efforts, including technical methods, market-based means, and norm-based modalities.
Spam uniquely challenges regulation because it easily transverses borders. The sender of a message, the server that transmits it, and the recipient who reads it may be located in three different states, all of which are under unique legal governance. If spam laws are not aligned in these states, enforcement will suffer because the very differences between spam laws may mean that a violation in one state is a permissible action in another. Moreover, spammers have an incentive to locate operations in places with less regulation, and the opportunity to states to create a domestic spam hosting market may engage them in a race to the bottom.
Harmonizing laws that regulate spam offers considerable benefits, insofar as a model law could assist in establishing a framework for cross-border enforcement collaboration. To those enforcing the regulation of spam, harmonization as a model law effort offers: clear guidelines, easy adoption, enhanced enforcement, stronger norms, fewer havens for spammers, and the increased sharing of best practices. If such regulators then agree that harmonization can aid legal regimes intent on curbing spam, they must initially address four critical tasks: defining prohibited content, setting default rules for contacting recipients, harmonizing existing laws, and enforcing such rules effectively. This legal approach must be concurrently matched by efforts that employ other modes of regulation, such as technical measures, user education, and market-based approaches.
Our analysis of existing spam legislation gathered by the ITU Strategy and Policy Unit evaluated these laws elements to determine whether they were commonly included or not, and whether provisions were uniformly implemented or varying when present. Our research documents seven instances in which extant laws strongly converge: a focus on commercial content, the mandatory disclosure of sender/advertiser/routing, bans on fraudulent or misleading content, bans on automated collection or generation of recipient addresses, the permission to contact recipients where there is an existing relationship, the requirement to allow recipients to refuse future messages, and a mix of graduated civil and criminal liability. Also documented are five key areas of disagreement which are vital to a harmonized spam law but which have evaded consensus thus far: a prior consent requirement for contacting recipients, a designated enforcer, label requirements for spam messages, the definition of spam (whether it is limited to e-mail communication, or includes other applications, such as SMS), and the jurisdictional reach of the systems spam laws. Naturally, a harmonization effort must tackle and narrow these zones of divergence in order to succeed.
Spam laws, whether harmonized or not, are at best only part of the solution to the spam problem and must be developed in concert with technical, market, and norms-based tools if the scourge of spam is to be substantially reduced. Efforts to harmonize the legal regulation of spam can serve as one effective means to solving the unique challenges spam presents. A model spam law is possible to develop, despite the many differences among the worlds spam laws.

Hi all, I've just released a Make-like build tool called Sake to Planet. I'm hoping it will be useful for anyone developing projects in Scheme. It has already proven very useful for automating its own build process. It is quite sparse on features right now, but contributions and suggestions for improvements are very welcome. Cheers, Noel

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) flew the fastest aircraft ever built – until it disappeared. The Falcon Hypersonic Technology Vehicle 2 (HTV-2) was launched aboard a rocket at 7:45 am Thursday, August 11 from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. Designed to reach any point on the planet in under an hour, the launch was the second test of the HTV-2 system. Following separation from a Minotaur IV rocket, the HTV-2 began flying at Mach 20. Shortly thereafter, contact was lost.
"Here's what we know," said Air Force Maj. Chris Schulz, DARPA HTV-2 program manager and PhD in aerospace engineering in an agency news release. "We know how to boost the aircraft to near space. We know how to insert the aircraft into atmospheric hypersonic flight. We do not yet know how to achieve the desired control during the aerodynamic phase of flight. It's vexing; I'm confident there is a solution. We have to find it."
The first test of the HTV-2, conducted in April 2010, yielded similar results. DARPA officials said despite the loss of the aircraft, they collected valuable data and will attempt another test in the future.
"Filling the gaps in our understanding of hypersonic flight in this demanding regime requires that we be willing to fly," said DARPA Director Regina Dugan. "In the April 2010 test, we obtained four times the amount of data previously available at these speeds. Today more than 20 air, land, sea and space data collection systems were operational. We'll learn. We'll try again. That's what it takes."
The video below shows how the test was supposed to have gone (no audio).

A brave thing to talk about—and one that also fits into a problematic 'good v. bad' abortion narrative.
Why are conservatives doing everything they can to oppose these policies—and to drive up the abortion rate in America?
No topic offers up a better example of that dynamic than abortion.
Nor is abortion quite the hot-button issue in American politics it used to be.
The film lets her unspoiled beauty speak the so-called "wicked" truth: for Ellen, abortion was the best choice.
When an abortion (or miscarriage) takes place by itself, without any outside aid, we call it spontaneous abortion.
abortion and infanticide are two customs which have the same character and purpose.
My mother, in the eighth month, was accidentally frightened, which caused an abortion.
abortion is practiced throughout Hungary by women of all the nationalities.
It was put away with another on the same subject, and inscribed "Romanes on abortion, with my answer (very important)."
1540s, from Latin abortionem (nominative abortio) "miscarriage, abortion," noun of action from past participle stem of aboriri (see abortive).
Earlier noun in English was simple abort (early 15c.). Originally of both deliberate and unintended miscarriages; in 19c. some effort was made to distinguish abortion "expulsion of the fetus between 6 weeks and 6 months" from miscarriage (the same within 6 weeks of conception) and premature labor (delivery after 6 months but before due time). This broke down as abortion came to be used principally for intentional miscarriages. Foeticide (v.) appears 1823 as a forensic medical term for deliberate premature fatal expulsion of the fetus; also cf. prolicide. Abortion was a taboo word for much of early 20c., disguised in print as criminal operation (U.S.) or illegal operation (U.K.), and replaced by miscarriage in film versions of novels.
abortion a·bor·tion (ə-bôr'shən)
The expulsion of an embryo or fetus before it is viable.
A miscarriage.
An aborted organism.
Cessation of normal growth, especially of an organ or other body part, before full development or maturation.
The arrest of an action or process before its completion.
The deliberate termination of a pregnancy, usually before the embryo or fetus is capable of independent life. In medical contexts, this procedure is called an induced abortion and is distinguished from a spontaneous abortion (miscarriage) or stillbirth.
Note: Abortion laws are extremely controversial. Those who describe themselves as "pro-choice" believe that the decision to have an abortion should be left to the mother. In contrast, the "pro-life" faction, arguing that abortion is killing, holds that the state should prohibit abortion in most cases. Feminists (see feminism) and liberals generally support the pro-choice side; Roman Catholics and Protestant fundamentalists generally back the pro-life side. (See Roe versus Wade.)
The ending of pregnancy and expulsion of the embryo or fetus, generally before the embryo or fetus is capable of surviving on its own. Abortion may be brought on intentionally by artificial means (induced abortion) or may occur naturally (spontaneous abortion, which is commonly referred to as a miscarriage). (Compare stillbirth; see also family planning and population control.)
Something of very poor quality; a messy failure; Disaster: That show is a real abortion

For over forty-eight years, Robert Elden Mathews (1894-1983) served as a law professor at Ohio State University and the University of Texas at Austin, dedicating his career to legal education and the improvement of the legal profession. Robert E. Mathews was born on April 17, 1894, in Watersville, Maine. His father, Shailer Mathews, was an educator and theologian, and one of the founding faculty members of the University of Chicago Divinity School. Robert E. Mathews received an B.A. from Yale in 1915, and a J.D. from the University of Chicago in 1920. After being admitted to the Illinois Bar, he practiced law as an associate of Frederick A. Brown from 1920-1922. In 1922, he began teaching at the University of Chicago Law School and later that year, joined the faculty of the University of Montana School of Law. On December 30, 1922, he married Grace Greenwood Caie. They had one son, Craig Mathews.
In 1924, Mathews joined the faculty of the Ohio State University College of Law where he would remain until 1964. During World War II, he served on the board of the Selective Service Administration of Columbus, Ohio (1940-1942), as an attorney of the Board of Economic Warfare and Foreign Economic Administration (1942-1944), and for the National War Labor Board (1944-1945). In the years following the war, Mathews focused primarily on labor law, and the issues and responsibilities of the legal profession. Throughout his career at Ohio State University, he took intermittent leaves of absence to teach these topics at Columbia, Harvard, the India Law Institute in New Delhi, and many others. He also published numerous papers and articles, and authored three books:
Throughout his career, Mathews participated in many academic and professional organizations. In 1947, the League of Ohio Law Schools elected him president. Mathews also served on the US National Committee for UNESCO (1951-1955), and was chairman of the International Society of Labor Law (1958-1961). A long-standing member of the Association of American Law Schools, he was elected president in 1952. He was also a member of the American Law Institute, the International Commission of Jurists, the National Academy of Arbitrators, and the American Association of University Professors.
Robert E. Mathews died on November 4, 1983, and is buried in Monson, Maine.
Correspondence, printed materials, creative works, financial documentation, reports, legal documents, photographs and other materials (1917-1980, 13.9 linear feet) document the professional and personal life of Robert E. Mathews.
Series I, Personal (1917-1974, .8 linear feet), largely consists of correspondence with friends and family. Also noteworthy are the papers by and regarding his father, Shailer Mathews, a distinguished theologian and co-founder of the University of Chicago's Divinity School, and the papers regarding Robert E. Mathews' son, Craig Mathews.
Series II, Professional (1925-1980,13.1 linear feet), contains the majority of the materials and represents Mathews' work both as a law professor and within the greater legal profession. Dominating this group are course materials arranged by course title (for example "Labor Law,") which he used primarily during his tenure at Ohio State University and the University of Texas at Austin, and when he was a visiting professor at other institutions. Other materials in Series II include correspondence, printed materials, research and collected materials, and drafts of Mathews' publications are found in his papers. Especially of note are Mathews' works regarding the "problem method" of teaching which was devised and introduced to the profession by Robert E. Mathews.

Talk:German language
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
Here is the discussion moved here from Talk:German, when the stuff about German language was moved here. Laurusnobilis 13:32, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
Are you still normal in your head ?? Thats the kind of "humour" starting racism and war. — 184.108.40.206 04:41, 26 Aug 2005
No, lack of humor starts racism and war. Humor, especially jewish black humor, was almost totally removed from Germany, and it has taken 60 years to partially grow back. 18.104.22.168 04:44, 26 Aug 2005 (UTC)
Hm... so do you really think that black jewish humour includes the theorie about jews beeing experts in the Burn Out Syndrom ? I don`t think so - and i hope you can`t laugh about my last words ... which had been written to make you think about "humour" and "humour" So I say friendly good bye — 126.96.36.199 06:07, 26 Aug 2005
I don't see racist content here. It's just someone poking fun at a language s/he doesn't understand.—Danielwang 07:39, 26 Aug 2005 (UTC)
I think that's going to far! --220.127.116.11 18:12, 1 Sep 2005 (UTC)
Das ist schon gar nicht mehr lustig.--Yoshi 12:07, 29 Sep 2005 (UTC)
Oh, jeez, lighten up. Racism and war? I'm going to send the URL to my German stepdaughter. She'll get a laugh out of it.
Ja, macht euch ma locker. Wo sind wir denn hier? Wikipedia oder Uncyclopedia? HMMMMMM? 188.8.131.52 17:27, 23 Oct 2005 (UTC)
lol, its black humor but i like it, and btw i am german :D
"Be funny and not just stupid." And this is just stupid...
First off, I'm german. I do consider some of the "translations" (which btw aren't funny at all if you don't know german) bordering on non-funny. Making "fun" of "germans are war-loving idiots" is, well, not funny. Or was Prince Harry's "Hitler Youth" party outfit funny?
But "starting racism and war"? Racism isn't started by such 'jokes'. Racism is taught. And jokes starting wars? Jokes can be used as a means to get people to go to war (look at the rioting over those Mohammed cartoon), but they don't cause wars in and off themselves)
My general position on the limits of humor (there are limits, but they are forever being tested and stretched), see my user page. --Some Bozo 21:31, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
We are not gay, thx fucking England!
I would just like you guys to know that Adolf Hitler was a mild-mannered painter until someone made a joke. The rest is history.--184.108.40.206 05:55, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
I suggest we rewrite this page completely in German (like they do in Morse Code and Binary. Micoolio101 00:10, 12 September 2006 (UTC)Micoolio101
Change the interwiki link to Inciclopedia with this:
[[es:Alemán (idioma)]] 18.104.22.168 08:35, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
you forgot
"Feige Sau!" - "Of course I will enjoy a drink with you"
The article contains too many grammatical and orthographical mistakes, most are obviously unintentional. Could be improved by wiping them out (aaargh... mistakes... wipe them out... WIPE THEM ALL OUT!). Ahem. What I mean to say is, it would be more funny if it looked more serious, know what I mean? And yes, I'm German too, but I know a joke when I see one. ;)
The good interwiki for french article is fr:Allemand (langue). Some1 can update the link ? Thanks. 126.96.36.199 00:40, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
yay, had many fun if I would translate the german into english correctly =D
edit Update
I was tired of the old article, and since I live in Germany, I thought I would change it up. If the grammar is wrong, please fix it native speakers...my powers are only so strong.
Danke! Sir Severian (Sprich mit mir!)
although this article is highly racisticand insulting for everyone who has any german orgins (or at least lives in germany), I actualy enjoyed reading it. And no im not some kind of racistic german-hater! I am proud to be german and still can laught about this black humor. someone who would start a war for something like this only searches for some reason of starting it anyway.
- how can you edit the first paragraph there is no edit link and there are obvious spelling mistakes- pus there is too much in what should be an introduction/ general overview.--Staringelf 16:57, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
- If you click the edit tab at the top of the page, you can edit everything at once. --monika 04:10, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
Thanks! Ok I've changed a bit of the grammar and spelling and jiggled it around so it doesn't look s cluttered, I also removed alot of the German sayings that wouldn't be funny if you don't speak German and brought a lot of the top section down as there was too much in the top it needed to be down in the main part. I have also taken out statements that were just plain racist and not even funny. Hope it's ok :) --Staringelf 16:56, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Northampton overcame a sluggish start to claim a bonus-point victory and a berth in the semi-finals of the EDF Energy Cup - although, if truth be told, it was a triumph based on strength of character rather than any great acumen or fluency.
Seven tries makes it sound like this was a feast of rugby, but it was a largely staccato and error-strewn affair that never truly emerged from third gear. Still, the Northampton fans will not care too much about that. After being in National League One last season, the Saints are now two wins from qualifying for next season's Heineken Cup. Good for them.
'It's great for the club and great for the fans that we are in the semi-finals,' said Jim Mallinder, Northampton's director of rugby. 'It was a good win for us. The Scarlets are a good side who like to play wide and it took us time to react to that. We were disappointed with our start, but we were level by half-time and confident of doing better in the second half. We achieved that by maintaining our composure and raising our game.'
Indeed they did, but Northampton barely knew what had hit them after the Scarlets crossed for two unconverted tries in the first seven minutes. Dominic Day secured clean line-out ball and Ceiron Thomas effected a break that took him to within spitting distance of the home line before Regan King crossed with ease to demonstrate what quickly recycled ball can do for you.
It became 10-0 after Northampton made a mess of their own scrum, just outside the Scarlets 22. With the ball lying unclaimed behind the Saints scrum with a big 'pick me up' sign on it (where was Ben Foden?), Simon Easterby did just that and battered his way into enemy territory. After the Saints prevented release at the ensuing breakdown, Sililo Martens took a quick tapped penalty and Morgan Stoddart was over in the corner after more quick hands.
Northampton, at that stage, had a mountain to climb, but Chris Ashton gained them a toe-hold when he evaded the close attention of Martens to bulldoze his way over from short range. The Saints drew level, at 13-13, just after the half-hour mark, when Ashton squeezed over in the right corner, though it was a controversial score. Not so much because the wing was adjudged to have satisfactorily grounded the ball - there was no problem there - but because Bruce Reihana's pass to him seemed to be clearly forward.
The Scarlets were denied a try right at the end of the first period, when Stoddart was deemed, by the video referee, to have been held up. David Lyons also went close, midway through the second half, when Myler made a marvellous try-saving tackle on the former Australia No 8. Again, the intervention of the video referee was required.
But, those moments apart, Northampton's line was never really threatened - apart from a late consolation score - as the home side denied the Scarlets territory and possession. Reihana burst on to a Foden pass to scamper home from 35 metres out shortly after the restart and Sean Lamont came off his wing with 15 minutes remaining to accept Lee Dickson's pop-pass at pace and smash his way over for the bonus-point try. As it turned out, a win without the bonus point would have sufficed for the Saints, but they were not to know that.

Will Republicans finally win back the Senate in 2014?
Mourdock. Akin. O'Donnell. For political junkies, these Republicans are famous for throwing away winnable Senate seats in recent election cycles. For Republican operatives, they are the stuff of nightmares, mistakes never to be repeated and the fuel animating a massive effort to put good candidates on ballots across the country.
Judging by the results of last week's Senate primaries, Republicans appear to have figured out how to avoid unforced errors this time around. Establishment Republicans were justifiably delighted with their "mini super Tuesday," which capped off a strong string of primary results for the GOP this spring. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell held off a challenger whose election would have made Kentucky's Senate seat far more vulnerable. In Oregon and Nebraska, Republicans got some fresh faces in Monica Wehby and Ben Sasse, and in North Carolina and Georgia, electable names have made it to the fall ballot or at least to a runoff.
That is, of course, a pleasant change from previous election cycles, where disastrous candidates made big headlines and squandered pickup opportunities. Yet the prevailing narrative, that Republicans have struggled in Senate elections primarily because of a slew of bad candidates, misses the bigger picture: The roots of the Republican Senate minority predate the Tea Party. Nearly a dozen Republican incumbents were ousted before the first Tea Party rally was ever held. And since the dawn of the Tea Party, for every seat lost by a train-wreck candidacy there's been an eminently winnable seat with a qualified Republican candidate that simply slipped through Republican hands. This November, the GOP's road back to a sustainable majority will require giving voters a real reason to elect its candidates.
Both 2006 and 2008 were relatively disastrous for the GOP, first elevating Harry Reid to Senate majority leader and then handing him a nearly filibuster-proof majority. The 2006 election was a wipeout in both chambers of Congress for Republicans, and a half-dozen incumbent Republicans were sent packing. Arguably just two of those losers, Sens. Rick Santorum and George Allen, were candidates who were too far to the right for their state or who messed up big time (remember "Macaca," anyone?). And let's not forget that another of those losses was the Tea Party's polar opposite, Sen. Lincoln Chafee, who boldly paved the way for those like Charlie Crist who would fail as a Republican and then run a a Democrat.
In 2008, Republicans lost more incumbents than they did open seats. In 2010, Republicans picked up a half-dozen seats, and while losses in Colorado, Delaware, and Nevada were all chalked up to Tea Party candidates, those same Tea Party forces gave Republicans winners in Pat Toomey, Rand Paul, and Marco Rubio. In 2012, Todd Akin and Richard Mourdock imploded and took down the GOP brand with them, but Republican candidates in North Dakota and Montana just didn't make it across the finish line.
