THE SKAGGS FAMILY - From the Morgan County [Indiana] Gazette - 22 April 1971
In Morgan County, Indiana there are at least two
main branches of Skaggs - The Green Township Skaggs and The Jackson Township Scaggs.
There are a few by that name who have not been identified as belonging to either branch as
Several variations of the name are encountered: Skaggs, Skeggs, Scags, Scaggs, but despite these differences, all are believed to have a common ancestry. Even for any particular person, the spelling has often varied, depending on the scribe who might be writing the name as it sounded to him. The practice evetually has become pretty well established that the Green Township branch is spelled Skaggs while the Jackson Township branch is spelled Scaggs.
There are many descendants of that name in Morgan and surrounding counties as well as many descendants of other names by marriage.
All these families have an interesting background. The first Skaggs in the New World is said to have been an Irishman, RICHARD SKAGGS, whose name appears in Virginia in 1658. He had a son, first name unknown, who was known in 1688 and a grandson, JAMES SKAGGS who was living from about 1700 to 1769. James married Rachel whose maiden name is not known. They had several sons in the Revolutionary War whose service was on the frontier where they engaged in scouting and skirmishes with the Indians who were allies of the British.
The early Skaggs descendants moved about considerably, it seems - some to Maryland, some to the Carolinas, some to southwestern Virginia; later to Tennessee or Kentucky and finally to Indiana about 1820 and thereafter. About 1828 they arrived in Morgan County, here it looked good - a garden spot midst verdant hills and fertile valleys - and here they stayed, few ever venturing elswhere unto this day!
Their story will be divided into three parts: Part 1. Skaggs Frontiersmen, Part 2. The Green township Skaggs, Part 3. The Jackson Township Scaggs.
Part I:
From 1658 to 1761 very little has been found about the
migrations of the Various Skaggs families. However, near the end of that period records of
their living in southwestern Virginia begin to appear. After 1761 they are found in the
vanguard of the slow but steady stream of pioneers into Tennessee and Kentucky.
Robert L. Kincaid,in his book, The Wilderness Road, tells about the Long Hunters who pushed farther and farther west after 1761, traveling long distances in unexplored country for months at a time in their quest for pelts which could be sold or traded at home. In the meantime it was up to their wives and children to do the farming and gardening.
One of the early leaders in these hunting expeditions was a man by the name of Walden. On one of his first trips he was accompanied by his father-in-law, William Blevins, his brother-in-law, Jack Blevins, HENRY SKAGGS, Walter Newman, Charles Cox and about a dozen other trained woodsmen. The party spennt about eighteen months on the trip and ranged as far as the vicinity of Cumberland Gap. The area was a hunter's paradise abounding in deer, buffalo, beaver, otter and mink and small game for their daily food supply. They brought home a large supply of pelts and hides.
In 1763, Walden and his party again went on a Long Hunt, passing through Cumberland Gap this time and going as far as the present town of Crab orchard, Kentucky.
The news of their successful hunts soon spread and led others to venture on similar trips. In June, 1769, a party of hunters gathered at Fort Chiswell as the starting point for their hunt. Among the leaders was RICHARD SKAGGS. They went as far as present Nashville, Tennessee. In the following year, 1770, a large party passed through Cumberland Gap, ranging as far as Green River and the Barrens in Kentucky where many Skaggs later settled.
In May, 1769, Daniel Boone and his party followed the Wilderness Road through Cumberland Gap into Kentucky but at Hazel Patch turned northward to the site of Boonesborough which he would later establish as a settlement. By the year 1775 the branch of the Wilderness Road that pointed toward Louisville, Kentucky was known as the SKAGGS TRACE and was named for three Irish brothers, HENRY, CHARLES AND RICHARD SKAGGS. Long Hunters who had spent much time in the region according to Kincaid, page 113. There is also a stream known as SKAGGS CREEK.
During the Revolutionary War, the Indian allies of the British waged war against the Kentucky settlers. Beginning in 1777 the fighting was bitter bringing much loss of life and hardships to the people. Several Skaggs were in the war, at least three of them being killed. Virginia and Kentucky Skaggs in the war included JAMES, JOHN, RICHARD, WILLIAM, ARCHIBALD, HENRY, CHARLES, MOSES, JACOB, JORRE AND AARON [SKAGGS] and a few with the same names as some of the above. MOSES and AARON [SKAGGS] are said to have been killed and also a PETER SKAGGS. Several of them received pensions later according to the records.
The Draper Manuscripts include a statement that "A number of Skaggs brother came to Green County, Kentucky, most of them very early, long before any settlement, and then they became the earliest settlers. JAMES, HENRY, JOHN, CHARLES AND RICHARD SKAGGS left records in Green County, while MOSES AND AARON [SKAGGS] were said to have been killed there." Note: In 1798 Barren County was split off Green County.
The Skaggs brothers, sons of JAMES AND RACHEL SKAGGS are believed to have been HENRY, CHARLES, RICHARD, JAMES,JR., AARON, MOSES and possibly JOHN SKAGGS. Many of their descendants still live in Kentucky but as early as 1820 there were three Skaggs in Indiana and at least one is known definitely to be from Kentucky.
[Part 2 & 3 are very lengthy & are not included on this webpage. Copies of all of the articles may be obtained from the Morgan County Public Library, Martinsville, Indiana, 46151.]
The pioneer Skaggs family which came from Virginia
to Kentucky in the early 1700's then later to Indiana, Missouri & other places has an
extremely interesting and adventurous history. Some were associated with Daniel
Boone, some were "Long Hunters", some were Indian fighters and some were scalped
and killed by Indians. One rode with Quantrill, and some were moonshiners.
Some were devout Baptist preachers - one Rev. Skaggs was unable to sit up during an
illness but being held up he preached for an hour then laid down and died. Others
weren't so devout - another Rev. Skaggs abandoned his wife and eloped with his neighbors

The Vancouver Canucks added some defensive depth to their forward lines by landing centre Sammy Pahlsson from the Columbus Blue Jackets.
Pahlsson, 34, was a key member of the Anaheim Ducks, who won the 2007 Stanley Cup with a tough, bruising group of forwards. Pahlsson and then-linemates Rob Niedermayer and Travis Moen were a relentless third line that wore down the opposition's big line as the Ducks marched through the playoffs.
With the Blue Jackets in the midst of a house-cleaning, it was no surprise to Pahlsson that he was traded. When he came off the ice after Monday's practice, about two hours before the deal was made, Pahlsson told reporters he wasn't about to go home and relax.
"I know the situation and my contract situation," he said. "We'll see what happens. It's not fun for anyone."
At the same time, he admitted, a trade that put him on a playoff contender would not be all bad.
"Being in the playoffs is the best part of hockey," Pahlsson said. "For three years, [the Blue Jackets]were not even close to it. That's hard on everyone."
The Blue Jackets obtained two fourth-round picks in the NHL entry draft. The Canucks may also send along a minor-league player but that was not immediately confirmed.Report Typo/Error

State-controlled French Mediterranean ferry operator SNCM is set to pass into private sector control today following yesterday's approval by the European Commission of its proposed takeover by Butler Capital Partners and Veolia Transport, writes Andrew Spurrier in Paris .
The company's existing board is due to approve the takeover, which has just been authorised by French government decree, at a meeting this morning and an SNCM spokesman said the new management team would be taking control immediately afterwards.
Operational management will be in the hands of Veolia Transport, which will have a 28% stake in SNCM alongside investment company Butler Capital Partners, which will be leading shareholder with 38%.
Veolia has already made clear, however, that it expects to become the majority shareholder in the company, notably via the expected withdrawal of Butler Capital Partners after five years.
Gérard Couturier, formerly regional director of Veolia Transport, is to become head of SNCM's new management board, replacing existing chief executive and former head of the port of Dunkirk authority Bruno Vergobbi.
The French state is to keep a 25% stake in SNCM's capital, while the company's employees have been allocated 9%.

Tiny speakers... unfortunate choices i must make.
|Posted on April 18, 2011 at 22:38:12
So it has been some time since i have posted here. Nice to be back.
Yes.. this is another "help me chose speakers" post..... But this is a tricky one!
I having moved from a house with a large dedicated listening room to a 650 square foot houseboat with a small living room, dining room, kitchen listening space all in one. Im having to rethink everything and its not an easy task.
This is the problem... My Meadowlark Shearwater hot rods will not fit, not at all . There just way to big.. So they have gone.... : - ( This makes me sad as i really loved those speakers.
To make this short-ish, I need a sub satellite system. Yes i understand the compromises and I'm going to need to make even more. The speakers need to be very small and wall mountable..... And.... i need to mount them basically in corners.
The ceiling is 6.5 to 7' high for about 2' from the wall and then goes straight up to 10'. The speakers need to be mounted under the shorter ceiling and close to the corner (wall meets ceiling) angled down into the room. There is no were else to put them as there are doors, windows, built in cabinetry and a wood stove in the way. There is no room on the floor ether................sigh.............
I have come to grips with the idea of just having music filling the room and giving up on much of what i enjoyed with my Meadowlarks. ie: imaging, sound stage, flushed out rich midrange....
Sooooo.... I'm looking for small corner placable speakers with a small sub.
The only things that come to mind at the moment are both of the round speakers like Orb and Gallo. I have not heard ether. Or something like NTH SuperZero 2.0's or Absolute Zero speakers and a sub. Im guessing they should ok in corners as there both sealed and have essentially no bass... just a guess though. The two NTH speakers are about the max size i can use.
I haven't heard any small sub other than a Totem Storm some time ago and was impressed. I would be interested in hearing any opinions of the subs from any of the makers i mentioned above.
As you can see my options are far from optimal and Im just trying to get as good a sound as i can in the space and limitations that i have... of which there are a lot.
My budget tops out at $1500... but $1000 is about as much as i should spend!
Things i would like (be it fantasy or not)....
1. Some midrange weight
2. Not too directional... being as it will need to 'fill' a room.
3. Not to bright sounding.... neutral or the the warmer side of it is what my ears like.
4. Small sub..12"x12"x12" or so... I don't need 20hz... an accurate musical and real 30+hz is fine.
5. Coherent at low volume... As this is a small multi purpose space with others around, the music will often need to be played at relatively low volume.
6. Not make me feel like I'm listening to a sub and two tiny speakers up to high and mounted in a bad place..... :- (
Audio Refinement Multi 2 amp and Pre 5
Raga p-25 with OL-1 arm and Monolithic PS-1 HC-1 premap

Thanks for sticking with it if you made it this far..... any thoughts will be most appreciated!

The only thing I can think of would possibly be the Focal Dome 2.1 sub/satellite system.
|RE: Tiny speakers... unfortunate choices i must make., posted on April 19, 2011 at 08:08:44
Ok ..im thinkin boat/water/moisture etc
Hows about considering a audiophile type "outdoor" loudspeaker with a 10 year waranty?
Why not put a couple of them outside as well on the boat?

As for the turntable. Thankfully the houseboat in very stable and walking around does nothing in terms on movement. I'm beam on to any boat wakes or chop so i only rock side to side and only occasionally. The arm on the turntable is oriented port to starboard or at right angles to the rocking motion. When it does rock its slow and smooth. I have been sitting listening when a big boat goes buy too fast and really sets me rocking... I can't really tell a difference as there are so many other noises like creaking lines, slapping waves and such. Its flat again in a few seconds. .... much to my surprise it hasn't been an issue.

For got to add this...
I have no issues with moisture. The bilge is dry and so is inside. My kitchen sponge dries in a few hours even in winter. Thanks for the suggestion though......
Those Focal Dome's look interesting. I have was unaware of them. I think there is a place very close to me that has then in stock.. Thanks for the tip. I will check them out. Not sure about that downward firing sub though. Just to add to my, i have a 2' space under my wood floor that i fear might not like a downward firing sub.... I might need a different sub.

I've owned LOTS of little systems for my office. Now I'm listening to Silverline Minuet Supremes and a small Martin Logan Dynamo. They have a new Dynamo with an 8" woofer that is only $300.
I also have a pair of Peachtree D4's, they are VERY similar to the Silverlines.
Either of these with a little sub would work great in a small room. I think the D4's work a tad better in a larger room and they open up a bit more. But the Silverlines have an uncanny midrange and in a smaller room might be the better choice.

Ok...turntable on a boat that is hard core!
Although I do not have a house boat I have a inboard/outboard mercruiser 160/18 footer
I plug my Ipod into the on board car stereo system
With all the water noise and motor noise that is about as audiophile
as its gonna get!

As such I can say this: I'm very impressed with how my pair of Klipsch KSB 1.1 sound in my work area. No sub required for very satisfying sound but I'm sure it would help. I'm typically not a fan of the Klipsch sound, but these are very different. I could be very happy with them if space was an issue for me.

Rather than attempting to replicate anything remotely like your last system in what sounds like a difficult space, have you considered getting a headphone rig for serious listening and essentially any small speaker for background music?
I ask because for the dollar amount you're looking to spend, you could get some terrific headphones. You'll lose the soundstage, but you're gonna be missing that anyways.
Just a thought.

|That you have to place your speakers in the end of the room with the low ceiling is not a downer. You'll have the benefit of room loading where you wouldn't have otherwise. This should warm up your sound, too. The Silverlines mentioned above sound tasty or you might look for some speakers with over and under 5" mid/bass drivers like the Gallo's. You might not need a sub if you've space for speakers with single 6.5" mid/bass drivers. A few can give you 40Hz cleanly and some serious impact to boot. Check out PMC. They use a transmission line for lower bass. Best to you.

|Look for the older model with the soft dome tweeter and paper cone woofer/rubber surround. They are great speaker to wall mount. The local record shop has them mounted quite high up but they still put a very nice open sound with really nice bandwith. As long as you don't crank them the soundstage is very dynamic. I think you could find a pair for under 200$...

I have them in my smallish woodshop, set up high. I wasn't expecting much, but the sound is as you describe. They replaced some Boston A40's that basically presented background music.

Some good options for speakers posted already. I recently put some ERA D4s (recommended by mbnx01) into a smallish bedroom up near the ceiling and was quite pleasantly surprised. With a small REL subwoofer (new T3 for $500 delivered off of Ebay) I think you'd have a sweet, space-filling setup.
Good luck.

I spent a part of yesterday listing to to some Gallo A'Diva's and Focal Domes both with there or other subs.
The Focals were ok but were very colored and thick and a bit rolled off in the high. I was not very impressed with the sub. The Gallos lasted 1/2 a song before to decide it was not in the cards.
I also tried the Sunfire TS-SJ8 tiny sub and HRS-SAT4 satellite speakers. This combo was much better than the Focal or Gallo's. The tiny speakers were open, detailed and rendered voices in a much more natural way. Sub integration was ok but more time would have helped. At $2000 for the pair its more than i can spend, but gives me hope of finding a good sounding system with tiny speakers.
With some time last night i came up with a short list.. (with help.. : - )
Role Kayaks... (small and acoustic suspension design.. good reviews.
Any small sub recommendation appreciated.

The Audio Note AX Two might work well here and runs $700. It will happily compete with everything I've heard at $2k beating most - they simply didn't waste piles of money on fancy cabinets and glossy catalogs and spent practically zero money on marketing them. Audio Note speakers love corners basically using the wall as an extension of the speakers so you always get far better bass than size would otherwise indicate. You may still need a sub but placed in a corner you might be very much surprised what you get out of them. They sound better on piano than any other $1000 speaker yes that is including the MMG under $1k. I didn't much care for the AX One however so the extra money to me is worth it.
Other speakers that are sealed or front ported can work - I'm just not a fan of the sound of some of them. An old Celestion in corners sounded very good to me as well and could be had cheap used and may have enough grunt not to need a sub. The Audio Note K/Spe is sealed infinite baffle design with 90db sensitivity and easy load. In the corner it produced bass below 40hz but new it runs $3k. But you would not need a sub in a small room.
The AX Two is pictured in the link with some description - scroll down - see they are very plain jane with boring cabinets - but...

i just heard the speakers linked below and for that money, WOW. howard rogers just got back into biz and these are tasty. the sub goes down VERY nicely also.
i see you havent registered on AA officially and i do believe it will be to your benefit. this is a fun ward but some conformance to convention is looked upon with respect.
anyway, i heard these speakers at evolution audio in agoura hills california at a meeting of the audio society here in LA/OC and was pleasantly surprised. the larger satellites arent quite as good as the smaller ones. i think howard will be doing a little more development on them in the near future.
these are the stands he sells on his site and the price doesnt up the ante very much.

|the only small speaker I would even consider is the Harbeth P3ESR or an earlier iteration of same, used for less money. They can be placed anywhere as they are sealed and they are just about the last word for detailed midrange in this size and price point.

|Boy, did they ever! I think they're a sealed box design which might help explain the rave review they got to include their bass. Really nice review. These should be included for audition. Heck, I might buy them on the merit of the review they are so inexpensive.

I have owned a few of the Gallo systems (Micro, A'Diva Ti, and Due). My favorite of the bunch was the A'Diva Ti. It is a bit larger than the Micro so has more midrange weight, has much better highs (but not at all bright), and is not very directional. Any decent small sub (Gallo, REL, etc.) should fit the bill. As an upgrade, I would seriously consider a sub w/built-in EQ or an outboard EQ for the sub to help deal with room resonances.
Hope this helps.

Aloha au ia 'oe is Hawaiian for "I love you." The word "Aloha" is not the Hawaiian way of saying "Hello" or "Good-bye" or "Fare-Well" which is how the average dictionary defines it. If you talk to some of the local Hawaiians they'll tell you that Aloha means "unconditional love" or "the common breath of life that we all share." Aloha is an energy field that pervades the amazingly beautiful islands called Hawaii. When I first moved there I quickly started to draw the distinction of whether I was being "in" the Aloha or "outside of" the Aloha. Being "outside" of the Aloha felt like I was a separate individual going about my day fulfilling my personal needs, goals and desires. Probably how most of us relate to life on a daily basis. Being "in" the Aloha feels like moving with and through an energy field that connects all of us together in an environment of mutual awareness, interdependency and support.

Chelsea defender Gary Cahill admits his side's crunch clash with Manchester City on Monday will be the ultimate test of their English Premier League title credentials.
City swept to the top of the table with a 5-1 demolition of Tottenham in midweek, while Chelsea lost ground in the title race after being held to a frustrating goalless draw at home to West Ham.
Jose Mourinho's third-placed team trail leaders City by three points and a defeat at Eastlands would be a major blow to Chelsea's hopes of winning the English crown for the first time since 2010.
Mourinho accused West Ham of playing "football from the 19th century" after the east Londoners settled for a cautious approach in midweek, but City's dazzling array of attacking talent may force the Chelsea boss to adopt a conservative gameplan himself.
The Blues have already beaten Manuel Pellegrini's side this season when a Joe Hart error allowed Fernando Torres to a score a late winner at Stamford Bridge in October.
But City have been in majestic form since then and their five-star display at White Hart Lane extended their unbeaten run to 20 matches in all competitions.
Pellegrini's men have scored a remarkable 115 goals this season and they have been invincible at Eastlands, crushing all opposition to record a 100 per cent record of 11 wins on home turf in the Premier League.
Even the country's best teams have been embarrassed at Eastlands, with Manchester United conceding four and Arsenal and Tottenham both hit for six.
England international Cahill acknowledges Chelsea, who will move level on points with City if they win, will have to produce their very best to emerge from Eastlands undefeated.
"They're banging goals in left, right and centre. It's going to be really tough," Cahill said.
"We had a really good result against them at our place but at home they've been so strong.
"I suppose it's the ultimate test. It's going to be a really, really tough game."
Second placed Arsenal, who host Crystal Palace on Sunday, can't afford another slip after falling one point behind City following a 2-2 draw at Southampton.
With City and Chelsea not playing until Monday, the Gunners would temporarily regain first place if they beat Palace.
"We have to look at ourselves and only think we have to move forward," Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger said.
"The kind of performance we delivered at Southampton will not move us forward, so let's focus to come back on Sunday and produce a good performance."
Manchester United travel to Stoke looking to close the gap on fourth placed Liverpool in the race to qualify for the Champions League.
United defeated Cardiff in midweek to mark the debut of 37 million club record signing Juan Mata.
And the Spanish midfielder has already made a good impression on his new team-mates, according to United winger Ashley Young.
"Juan looked like he had been here for years," he said.
"He had only been training for two days and it was his first game but he has gelled straight away."
Newcastle host Sunderland in the highly-charged Tyne-Wear derby, while fourth placed Liverpool travel to West Brom aiming to build on their 4-0 thrashing of Merseyside rivals Everton.

"With the closure of Fort Monmouth very near on the horizon, it is vital that State and local leaders are prepared with a comprehensive, long-term plan to ensure that economic continuity, stability and growth are maintained for the regions effected by the closure," said Governor Christie. "Through the joint efforts of State, county and municipal leaders, Fort Monmouth can and will remain a driver of economic growth for both the region and the State. By creating the Fort Monmouth Economic Revitalization Authority to take action on a comprehensive and strong economic development plan, we are ensuring that the municipal, county and State resources and guidance will be employed in partnership to make certain that Fort Monmouth will be a home for job creation and economic growth."
The Fort Monmouth Reuse and Redevelopment Plan forwarded by the dissolved planning authority is a highly collaborative blueprint for action to:
Under the new law, FMERA is given a multitude of tools to revitalize and redevelop the Fort Monmouth area and implement the revitalization plan. Among these are the abilities to undertake redevelopment projects, adopt development and design guidelines and land use regulations in connection with the provision of utilities, streets, roads or other infrastructure required for the implementation of the revitalization plan. The New Jersey Economic Development Authority will staff FMERA, which is also authorized under the new law to enter into an agreement with the EDA to act as the designated redeveloper.
"The Fort Monmouth Revitalization Act creates a unique State, local and private sector partnership to build a future where the Fort site can again be a dynamic economic hub one day. It is our challenge and obligation," said Senator Joseph M Kyrillos, Jr. (R-Middlesex, Monmouth), who was the original primary sponsor of the bill that created the Ft Monmouth Economic Revitalization Planning Authority in 2006.
S- 917 was sponsored by Senators Raymond Lesniak and Jennifer Beck, and Assembly members Joseph Cryan, Albert Coutinho, Angel Fuentes, Annette Quijano, and Declan O'Scanlon, and co-sponsored by Senator Joe Kyrillos and Assemblyman Upendra Chivukula.

The fact that Camp Ravenna, the Ohio Army National Guard site located at the former Ravenna Arsenal, is even under consideration as a possible location for a ballistic missile interceptor base is exciting news.
While there are many uncertainties to be resolved -- not the least of which is the fact that the Department of Defense hasn't yet decided to go forward with such a facility -- the potential for a major economic development boost for Portage County is a wonderful prospect. Should the project being talked about materialize, it stands to dwarf the creation of the arsenal nearly 80 years ago as the largest single investment in the county.
Interceptors are a ground-based missile system designed to intercept ballistic missiles. There are now only two such sites in the United States. If a third is built, it could cost anywhere from $1 billion to as much as $5 billion, according to published reports.
At this point, Camp Ravenna is one of five sites being considered as a future location for an interceptor deployment site. The others are located in Maine, Vermont, Michigan and New York. That's a short list by any count, one that will be narrowed to two or three sites in a long-term process tied to a number of factors.
The Missile Defense System will gather information about the Portage County site, including an on-site visit, before deciding whether it will remain under consideration. Advancing to the next round would mean environmental studies that could take an additional 18 to 24 months.
The final selection, of course, would be contingent on Congress approving funding for the site. There is no money in the Pentagon budget for it now.
Camp Ravenna is located in eastern Portage County, two miles east of the city of Ravenna. The site became the Ravenna Arsenal, a munitions facility, during World War II and at its height employed 15,000 workers.
If it eventually is chosen for the missile interceptor base, Portage County stands to benefit from the creation of construction jobs as well as those who would be employed by a major military installation. That would be a tremendous economic boost.
U.S. Rep. Tim Ryan, whose office announced the news about the short list, said that the missile base "would be a great opportunity for Camp Ravenna and the State of Ohio to benefit from Department of Defense investments leading to increased employment in both the construction phase and sustaining operational employment." The news from the Pentagon also was hailed by Senators Sherrod Brown and Rob Portman. Should Camp Ravenna make the initial cut, it appears that the project will have solid bipartisan support from our delegation in Congress.
We aren't familiar with the pros and cons of the other potential sites, but believe Camp Ravenna brings to the table a number of assets. The facility has been in federal hands for nearly 75 years; it remains relatively undeveloped and largely isolated from signigficant population centers; whatever environmental concerns may be involved have been largely identified during its transformation from the largely abandoned arsenal into the National Guard training site; and there is likely to be no significant local opposition to its development as a military installation.
We realize there many hurdles -- many "ifs" to be resolved -- in order for this plan to be realized. Still, it's exciting news. We hope Camp Ravenna remains on the short list as it becomes shorter and eventually narrows to the final choice.
Another pipe dream. We don't need a Missile Defense System. We need an Obamacare Defense System.
From above article;
"and there is likely to be no significant local opposition to its development as a military installation"
"We hope Camp Ravenna remains on the short list as it becomes shorter and eventually narrows to the final choice".
Who ever wrote the above statements is "NUTS". I am opposed to it. I Iive 1 1/2 miles from the Arsenal, and from time to time it sounds like a war zone over there now. Low flying air planes, helicopters, gun fire and explosions. It reminds me of Vietnam 1968.
Do you really want to put a target on the Arsenal and the surrounding communities? If war would breakout, one of the first things the enemy will hit is our missle defense systems. Do you really want the Arsenal, Ravenna, and the surrounding communities to be Targets for Incoming Missles and Bombs??? I guess money/profit is more important to some, than the future safety of the men, women and "Children" of this community.

Right-hander Edinson Volquez pitched the 26th one-hitter in San Diego Padres history at Petco Park on Thursday night, coming within one tough play of throwing the franchise's first no-hitter.
Matt Downs got the Houston Astros' only hit --an infield single -- with two outs in the fourth. He beat out a ball topped to the right of Volquez. The pitcher fielded the ball but had no throw on Downs.
"I don't want to talk about that play," Volquez joked. "I'm going to have defensive drills tomorrow. I have to make that play."
Volquez retired 15 of 16 last hitters he faced to record the first complete game of his career, the Padres winning 1-0.
In addition to the one hit, Volquez, 29, issued three walks and had five strikeouts. He threw 117 pitches, 75 going for strikes.
It was the fifth 1-0 one-hitter in Padres history, and San Diego's first one-hitter since Mat Latos had one at San Francisco on May 13, 2010. That was also the most recent 1-0, one-hit win. Thursday night's gem was also the third complete-game shutout by a Padres pitcher at Petco Park and the first since Jake Peavy blanked the Astros on Aug. 23, 2005.
Volquez is the first Padre to pitch a one-hit shutout at home since Andy Benes on July 3, 1994, at Qualcomm Stadium.
Volquez faced three hitters over the minimum in a game that almost featured a triple play by the Padres. Justin Maxwell's line drive was snagged by a leaping second baseman Logan Forsythe. J.D. Martinez was doubled off second base, but Matt Downs was barely safe back at first.

My details.. I am 5'10" and I weigh 213lbs. I carry a lot of muscle on my frame. I recently lost 25 pounds and I will probably lose 15-20 more. Historically, my weight does not affect the size of my breasts much. My bra size is is between a 34 and 36H. I have shoulder pain and a dislocated clavicle. My concern is that I have a small rib cage, but I am tall. Can I still stay around a 34D or DD and receive the benefits of the reduction? I want to keep my curviness.

Breast Size After Reduction
Since you are an H cup right now, it may be hard to get any smaller than a D or DD cup after surgery. The medical studies on breast reduction suggest that you would have an improvement with breast reduction surgery but neither the final cup size nor complete resolution of all symptoms can be guaranteed. This is one of those things that you need to discuss with your plastic surgeon.
How Large Can my Breasts Be After Reduction? (photo)
From your description and posted photo you need more a lift than reduction or a Reduction/Lift. Best to be seen by 3 boarded PSs in your area to discuss in person.
Can I still stay around a 34D or DD and receive the benefits of the reduction?
As regards :"Can I still stay around a 34D or DD and receive the benefits of the reduction?" - that would depend on WHO is paying for your operation.
YOU PAY - As the one paying for the surgery, YOU get to dictate the amount of breast tissue removed. A good Plastic surgeon can minimally or radically reduce the weight of the breasts and make them perkier. In general, IF your symptoms and complaints are related to your large breasts, keeping the breast very large promises to be a short term solution as your breasts would sag again. Maybe a reduction to a full C-type cup would be more realistic as a long term improvement.
INSURANCE PAYS - Medical insurance companies will NOT be for Breast Lifts or "Mini" Breast Reduction surgery. If your symptoms "My bra size is is between a 34 and 36H. I have shoulder pain and a dislocated clavicle", they may insist your surgeon remove at least 500 grams from each side and often more. For the surgeon and hospital to be compensated, your surgeon would have to prove he removed the (larger) volume indicated by your insurance company.
Either way, the procedure can be done via a short scar technique and avoid the long transverse scar.
Good Luck

Size after breast reduction
Your surgeon has the capability to remove skin and volume during breast reduction. You should be able to maintain any size you want; a significant relief will derive from the lift (tailoring of the skin). Discuss your goals with your surgeon. Your breast shape will always resemble what you have now to some degree (but higher on your chest) due to your particular anatomy and skin elasticity.
Breast Reduction
Dear Want to be,
It is certainly possible to decrease your breast size to a D or DD. You should expect a very nice result using a vertical reduction technique. The scar would be a lollilop scar. Consultation with a plastic surgeon will answer any questions that you may have. Good luck!

Curvy after breast reduction
If you still want to be large after a breast reduction, get a cosmetic lift with a small reduction. It will improve your symptoms by placing your breast up and back onto your chest and make them somewhat smaller. It is likely that your insurance company will not pay for this if not enough tissue is removed. However, chosing to have it done as a cosmetic procedure, let's you pick the size that you want to be.
"Perky" Breasts After a Breast Reduction
Thank you for your photograph and question. There is no doubt that you could have your breast size reduced and lifted. For most women this is both an improvement in appearsnce as well as in comfort. If you are quite concerned that your final outcome might be smaller than you are comfortable with, you may want to wait until you have come closer to your dieting goal before having the surgery. Either way, you can have a good outcome. I never promise a certain bra size since that is not standardized and can lead to miscommunication. However, I think if you were to see a group of before and after photos from your plastic surgeon you could get a good sense of the possibilities for yourself.

Size after breast reduction
In my opinion and experience, the female chest is "designed" to handle an A, B, or C sized breast without problems or debilities. D cup or larger size breast is out of proportion and can cause various physical problems and debility with or without bra support. Therefore to address physical signs and symptoms it would seem logical to reduce the breast to at least a full C cup size. If you have your reduction procedure covered by insurance as medically necessary, then they can dictate whether you can have the procedure, how much reduction qualifies, and indirectly what size you can end up with. If you cover the procedure yourself as cosmetic then you can agree with your surgeon on the size to end up with or even just a lift with no removal of breast tissue.
I doubt liposuction of the breast will be satisfactory. Liposuction is not a true reduction and fat has little weight. It also doesn't lift the breast. The amount of fat present for removal and the resulting size is very hard to gauge. The only advantage is no significant scar.
I would recommend treating it as a cosmetic issue and agreeing with the experienced plastic surgeon as to the degree of lift and reduction. This should be quite feasible with a vertical (lollipop) incision approach.
Breast reduction
An exam would help delineate how much weight can be removed to decide the approximate volume left over after the procedure. It is quite possible to leave enough to keep you a "D"ish cup.
Scarless breast reduction

|Here is yet another approach to Jagged Peak. I think it is a good option if you are approaching from southeastern/southcentral Colorado. First we approached the Beartown trailhead from the northeast. Drive past Creede towards Lake City and take the Rio Grade Reservoir turnoff. Continue past the reservior to Stoney Pass cross the Rio Grande and continue to the Beartown trailhead. Hike over Hunchback Pass to the upper Vallecito Drainage. Cross to the westside of Vallecito across from the Guardian and [definitely] before you have to cross Rock Creek. There is an excellent unmarked outfitter trail along the west side of the creek from this point. Continue south to Sunlight Creek. Follow the unmarked [climber's] trail along the north side of Sunlight Creek to the basin between Jagged Mountain and Leviathan Peak. This approach can be done in a very big day.

|We started at 4:10 in the afternoon at Vallecito Trailhead. Humped in along Vallecito Creek 9 miles till 8. Got up at 4, went another 2 miles along Vallecito then cut up along Sunlight Creek. The trail becomes a real bitch here. Then after a few miles you hike straight uphill to the bow-shaped lake. Beautiful hike. Unfortunately trying the mandatory day and a half approach in a night and a morning caused us to be too sketched to try the low 5th with stormclouds approaching. REAL BUMMER! Gorgeous area, though.

More beta on the approach:
To emphasize what Ben said...if you are coming from the north (via Hunchback Pass), your best bet is to cross over to the west side of Vallecito Creek at the Rock Creek junction. From the junction, go 30 meters north or so on the trail, then cut left (west) through a field to a marshy area. Stay north of the marsh and continue west up a small hillside into the woods. Soon after reaching the Vallecito, I was able to find a suitable crossing on some rock slabs. From here, continue west and soon you will encounter a faint trail heading SW that parallels the creek. It should be about 30 meters from the crossing. If you can't find the trail, just head SW staying about 100-200 meters west of the creek and you will eventually pick it up.
The trail itself is indeed intermittent, and will have you scratching your head at times. However, if you just continue SW staying 100-200 meters west of the creek, you will eventually cross Leviathan Creek and finally intersect the Sunlight Creek trail (which is on the north side of Sunlight Creek). This approach is plenty fast despite some routefinding and allows you to avoid a more involved crossing of the Vallecito further downstream.
The Sunlight Creek trail is initially prominent and easy going, but after a half mile or so, things quickly fall apart! You reach an overgrown hillside and the trail disappears into a sea of downed trees, bushes, boulders, and tall grasses. Prepare for battle and carefully make your way west across the hillside, aiming for the bottom edge of a large aspen grove. You will begin to approach Sunlight Creek, but stay on its north side and grunt up a steep ridge with a now intermittent trail. Eventually the trail becomes more prominent and crosses the creek several times before arriving at a pristine meadow with towering granite walls. At this point, the creek splits into 3 separate channels: one coming from the south, one coming down a steep boulder field to the west, and a smaller channel coming down a rock gully to the north. Cross the creek to its north side and climb up the north gully. This will deposit you into a long, narrow meadow. You could choose to camp here, but a better option is to continue west across the meadow and climb one final hillside to the north onto a broad bench. A campsite on this bench is primo for an attempt at Jagged Mountain.

These approaches are all lovely in their own right, each with unique adventures. As evidenced by these photographs and my own fond memories, some have excellent little outcrops or other peaks for diversions on your way in and out, some have downed forest to negotiate with creek crossings, others further down require fording Vallecito. All, when down low are susceptible to bugs during the summer. Szszzzzzszsssszz!
So, my particular favorite involving snow in the early season, enables a quick\climber friendly crossing to Jagged. Later in the season, when an adze and pick are useful for one spot, there is the nice treat of contouring a lot of nice talus fields. -Seriously, the fine art of moving across the larger of these rocks in their myriad configurations with a full pack is thoroughly enjoyable.-
Anyway, once descending the switchbacks from Hunchback and crossing Nebo Creek, just past the confluence of Trinity Creek and Vallecito Creek, head up Stormy Gulch. Once at the tarns below Trinity Lake, contour southeast to gain the high traverse to Jagged. Go west over Peak Eight - Storm King pass, south between Peak Eight - Peak Seven. Countour to the bench below point 13064. (If you have time, a huge slot/chimney on the south side of this point is a good outing-bring big pro-descend to the northeast.) From here, let the north face of Leviathan tempt you, and cross the Point 13475\Leviathan Peak pass. See "Late Start" photo for the flat nook below Jagged's north side.

Paul L. Franco
Seattle Campus
Study of one or more of the major continental rationalists: Descartes, Spinoza, Leibniz.
Class description
In this course, we will closely read and interpret some combination of the writings of Rene Descartes, Baruch Spinoza, and Gottfried Leibniz. We may read all these authors closely to get a sense of their respective systems, or focus more squarely on just one author with the others serving as useful contrasts. Our readings will emphasize these authors' metaphysical theories, their epistemologies, and their views about the relationship between metaphysics and epistemology. In relation to these areas, possible topics of interest include their views about the nature of substance, i.e., the fundamental stuff the world is made out of. Related to this topic are questions about the relationship between the mind and the body and the nature of material bodies. Other metaphysical topics we might consider include the relationship between God's will, God's understanding, and his role in establishing eternal truths or the problem of free will and the nature of necessity.
Like other figures in the Early Modern period, we can't tackle these metaphysical topics without also looking at epistemology. One important epistemological topic we might cover is the role of the principle of sufficient reason in rationalist philosophy. This may seem like a disparate, grab-bag of topics, but rest assured it's not: our investigations will uncover just how interrelated all these topics are within the different Rationalist systems.

A Free Car from our parents is over the moment we land our first job. We don't want to rely on them anymore. We want our independence by working and earning money. So we can afford the things we wanted. Get car and go to work, have fun and live life to the fullest. But it seems that Car Now are a little bit pricey so we need to compare car prices. We have experts who can help get us the best deal. Auto purchase is a start of an awesome journey. So next is car & tire maintenance, And that's what we wanna share with you…
You might be having having a hard time getting the right tire size. The car tire sellers needs to determine what best fits to your vehicle that's why you need to understand the letters, numbers, slash letters and letter combination of your tires. Here's How:
1. Know what the first letter stands for your vehicle type to which the tire is to be installed. Example: P for passengers, T for Temporary Spare, LT for Light Truck, ST for Special Trailer. I'm sure that is not hard to decipher in your tire size chart.
2. Width Number. The width is indicated after the digits or it's cross section measurement usually in millimeters. Example: If you have a tire that says P225, therefore it means that the tire is for a Passenger Vehicle and the tire cross section width is 225 millimeters.
3. You need to understand the aspect ratio concept. It normally follows with a slash after the width of the chart. Example: P225/60 – that simply means that tire's aspect ratio is 60. It represents the percentage of width and height. Thus, the height of this car is 60% of it's width.
4. Get yourself intimate with the construction of the tire. Normally, the letter that follows the aspect ratio indicates the car tire's internal construction. A commonly used type of car is Radical which symbolizes in R.
5. Rim Size. It is the number that follows the tire's construction. Example: P225/60 R15, here the rim size is 15 inches. Since you now deciphered your tire size lingo then you can now go ahead and change your worn-out tires.
P225/60 R15 means: Passenger Vehicle Tire, a 225 millimeters cross section width, 60% aspect ratio, radical and a rim size of 15 inches.
If for instance your car size is not listed, the measure the tire as shown then afterwards compare those measurements as against the ones in the chart.

Extend the life of your Tire
Even simple things do have a real difference. Check your tire pressure and make sure that it's properly inflated because it helps the longevity of your car tire. Having an over or under inflated tires don't wear the tire evenly so it won't definitely last long. Also rotating your tires regularly helps ensure to wear evenly and last longer.
Saving Money on Fuel
You should know that one of the biggest causes of using excess fuel is tire under-inflation. It makes them to higher rolling resistance thus your engine needs more effort and power to keep the vehicle moving. The same with the wheels that are not properly aligned. It creates drag causing the vehicle to slow down even at the same engine power. It will not only damage your tires it also costs you more on fuel consumption than normal use.
To Ensure Safety…
Before leaving the garage, it should be a customary to check your tire pressure. Incorrect tire pressure can affect your braking and vehicle handling especially when the road is pavement. Don't compromise the safety of everyone on the road.
Indication for Underinflation and Overinflation
Overinflation: Increases wear on the center tread.
Underinflation: Visible wear on the outside edges as it generates heat thus reducing the tire's toughness. Having a soft tires reduce fuel efficiency.

the occupation and the absolute closure is an ongoing attack on the human dignity of the people in Gaza in particular and all Palestinians generally. It is systematic degradation, humiliation, isolation and fragmentation of the Palestinian people."
This conclusion has been confirmed by many other sources. In The Lancet, a leading medical journal, Rajaie Batniji, a visiting Stanford physician, describes Gaza as "something of a laboratory for observing an absence of dignity," a condition that has "devastating" effects on physical, mental and social well-being.
"The constant surveillance from the sky, collective punishment through blockade and isolation, the intrusion into homes and communications, and restrictions on those trying to travel, or marry, or work make it difficult to live a dignified life in Gaza," Batniji writes....
"I think feeling powerless and hopeless is the most killing feeling that a human can ever have. It kills the spirit and breaks the heart. You can fight occupation but you cannot fight your feeling of being powerless. You can't even ever dissolve that feeling."
A visitor to Gaza can't help feeling disgust at the obscenity of the occupation, compounded with guilt, because it is within our power to bring the suffering to an end and allow the Samidin to enjoy the lives of peace and dignity that they deserve.

His life as the child of a vaudeville couple was one-step above living in the circus—cheap hotels and rooming houses were home.
"Pert" was the mildest term to which Hal reduced his characterization of Miss Pierce, by the time the one-step ended.
A one-step was just over, and the dancers were crowding the foyer.
She threw her arms about Ruth and attempted a few turns of the one-step glide.
Elderly ladies loved to have him one-step with them and squeeze their elbows.
There is always much dancing, for the natives are great dancers and were not the last to learn the one-step and hesitation.
one-step, fox-trot and a Lulu Fado followed in smooth succession.
He clasped her, conscious of her smooth warmth, and solemnly he circled in a heavy version of the one-step.
By this time he was able to pull through on the one-step and the canter waltz, but his great success was the fox-trot.

- Subscribe to Pumps & Systems MENA.
- Subscribe to Pump Users Digest MENA, the magazine's e-newsletter.
BIRMINGHAM, Alabama, USA (July 2, 2014) – Pumps & Systems, the leading magazine for pump users worldwide for more than 20 years, expands its international coverage of powerful technical pumping information to the Middle East/North Africa region.
The premier issue of Pumps & Systems MENA, an international print magazine from the publisher of Pumps & Systems, will launch in early October this year. It also will be distributed at the Pumps & Systems booth Nov. 10, 2014, at the Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition & Conference (ADIPEC), the region's leading conference for oil and gas professionals.
"With an extraordinary amount of construction and tourism growth in metropolitan cities like Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Doha, the pumping market in the MENA region has exploded in the past decade," said Pumps & Systems Editor Michelle Segrest. "This growth is happening rapidly, which results in many opportunities for large pumping projects. Our readers and advertisers continue to tell us of pumping activity in this region, and no other publications cover pumping reliability, maintenance and optimization in each issue. We identified an important need for this information, so expanding to the MENA region is a natural fit for Pumps & Systems."
The magazine is an exciting addition to the 20-year-old Pumps & Systems brand for its publisher, Cahaba Media Group (CMG).
"Creating this new print magazine specifically for the MENA region is the next logical step in building on the Pumps & Systems global brand," said CMG President Wally Evans, publisher of Pumps & Systems, Upstream Pumping Solutions and, now, Pumps & Systems MENA. "It also makes sense to debut the publication at ADIPEC, which is the largest technical conference for the oil and gas industry in the GCC."
Pumps & Systems MENA will publish bimonthly in 2015 following the October 2014 launch, and will cover case studies and technical information in the following industries:
- Oil & gas (upstream and downstream)
- Water & wastewater
- Power generation
- Food & beverage processing
- Building services
- Chemical, petrochemical and refinery
The regular editorial coverage will also include strategic and insightful market data from the respected global consultancy firm, Frost & Sullivan.
Loyal subscribers in almost 140 countries currently receive the print and digital editions of Pumps & Systems. The magazine is delivered to more than 40,000 BPA-audited subscribers. The launch of Pumps & Systems MENA will provide a printed version of the world's leading authority on pumping technology to subscribers in the GCC countries. The circulation for Pumps & Systems MENA will initially be approximately 15,000 subscribers.
The magazine will be supported digitally with a website, www.pump-zone.com/mena and a twice-a-month e-newsletter, Pump Users Digest MENA. Subscribe to the newsletter and magazine at www.pump-zone.com/mena.
"We are receiving tremendous positive support for Pumps & Systems MENA," Segrest said. "The editorial coverage we have compiled for the premier issue is detailed, region-specific, comprehensive and includes interesting problem-solving case studies from Saudi Arabia, UAE, Egypt, India and other surrounding areas."
Powerful technical information and real-world application articles are at the core of the success of Pumps & Systems. This will continue to be the model for Pumps & Systems MENA, Segrest said.
"The reason our Pumps & Systems readers have been so loyal for more than 20 years is because we offer insightful, expert editorial that helps pump users solve problems. We have an interactive audience. They tell us about their daily concerns, and we pay attention to their needs. We plan to continue this effective editorial mission in Pumps & Systems MENA. "
The Pumps & Systems MENA editorial team is gathering a panel of experts to consult with technical issues and regional market and industry trends. The growing Editorial Advisory Board so far includes:
- Sunil Samtani, Director, Middle East Commercial Organization, IDEX Middle East
- Jay Shah, President, International Group, Hydro Inc.
- Amin Almasi, Rotating Machine Consultant, Engineers Australia
- Andrew Yeghnazar, President, Blacoh Fluid Control
- Virein Kumar Yadlapalli, Industry Manager, Automation & Electronics, MENA, Frost & Sullivan
- Henri Azibert, Technical Director, Fluid Sealing Association
- Giancarlo Cicatelli, Technical Advisor, Flowserve Corporation
"The experts we have on our Editorial Advisory Board have more than 100 years of combined experience in the MENA region pumping market," Segrest said. "These professionals are well-respected and are guiding us on the most important areas of interest for our audience, including key industries and trade shows."
In addition to technical pumping information and case studies, Pumps & Systems MENA will also cover ancillary equipment including motors and drives, instrumentation, seals, bearings, valves, compressors, engines and every variety of pumps used in the six target industries. It will also provide relevant, regional news coverage and report on new products.

Alar Base Resections
Alar base resection is when you reduce the size of the nostril or the flaring alar. This can be done based upon the pre-operative analysis of the patient and, in general, is performed to correct nasal nostril disharmony, especially on one who has excess nasal base widening and flaring.
Alar base reductions decrease nostril width
Alar base reductions are also known as Weir's excisions for alarplasty. This is a simple 3- to 4-mm excision of skin at the base and sill of the nose to reduce the alar flare and bring in the nostril width. Sutures that are used are dissolvable and fall out in about a week.

Alar Base Reduction (Nostril Reduction Surgery)
Nostril reduction surgery (called Alarplasty / Alar Base Reduction) is a procedure that can narrow the width of the nostril base, decrease the amount of nostril flaring, or decrease the size of the nostrils.
To accomplish this, the surgeon makes an incision in the crease where the nostril wall meets the cheek. A wedge shaped piece of nostril wall is removed, and when the incision is sewn close, the nostril narrowing is acheived.
It is possible to perform this procedure alone or as part of a rhinoplasty. It can be performed alone, but keep in mind that in order for the nose to appear natural, it must adhere to certain proportions and also be in balance with the other facial features.

An alar base reduction Rhinoplasty is a procedure to narrow the nostrils
An alar base reduction, also called a Weir Resection is done to narrow the nostrils of the nose.
People who have broad nasal tips with wide nostrils often want the nostrils narrowed.
Nostril reduction with the alar base resection is technically challenging and requires experience and technical expertise. The natural shape of the nostrils must be maintained and the scars hidden.

Alar base reduction
An alar base reduction can take care of many things. It can treat large nostrils, flare and width. There are many variations to the procedure as it is customized to each specific patient's needs.
Narrowing the nostrils.
This means taking out a wedge of skin from the bottom of the nostrils for patients who have a wide nose. The scar is hidden in the crease of the nose.
How is Alar Base Reduction used In Rhinoplasty
Alar base reduction is a technique that is used to narrow the nostril with and enhance the shape. It is generally used with ethnic rhinoplasty. There are stitches that are placed at the junction of the nose and cheek. The incisions are well-hidden and are concealed nicely once healed.

For those of you looking to kill two birds with one stone and not only get a good night of sleep, but also save battery life in the process without the inconvenience of having to power on or power off your device at night or manually enable Airplane Mode every night, you might be interested in a new jailbreak tweak called AirplaneScheduler by iOS developer Zmaster.
AirplaneScheduler works very similarly to Apple's native Do Not Disturb feature in iOS 6, in that it lets you set a time period and then the feature will be enabled when the time period begins and disabled when the time period ends automatically.
The major point that makes it differ from Apple's Do Not Disturb feature, is that Do Not Disturb leaves your wireless radios on and just hides your notifications while you sleep or when you don't want to be disturbed. AirplaneScheduler will actually disable your wireless radios during the scheduled time, so you get the benefit of not only hiding notifications while you sleep, or when you don't want to be disturbed, but you also save battery life because those wireless radios won't be active.
To use AirplaneScheduler, you can head over to the AirplaneScheduler preferences pane in the Settings application (shown above) and set the time frame that you want Airplane Mode to be automatically enabled and disabled. The clock is in 24-hour time, and you can pick a specific day and time for the time frame. You can also set more than one schedule for Airplane Mode to be enabled and disabled, which is a one-up from Apple's Do Not Disturb feature in itself because Do Not Disturb only allows you to have a single schedule at a time.
If there was anything we could say we would want added to the tweak, it would be a 12-hour counter with AM/PM specifiers rather than 24-hour time. Apple's Do Not Disturb feature uses 12-hour time when the 24-hour clock is disabled from Settings, so it just seems more native to give the user that option...
AirplaneScheduler is available right now in the ModMyi repository of Cydia. Check it out!
Name: AirplaneScheduler
Price: $1.49
Version: 1.0-1
Repo: ModMyi
Developer: Zmaster
Editor's Rating: 4/5

It depends on the file's exact format, but something like
iunit = OpenRead["file"];
Find[iunit, "Here are my bins"];
bins = ReadList[iunit, Number, numberOfBins];
SetStreamPosition[iunit, 0]; (* rewind *)
data = ReadList[iunit, Number, numberOfData];
Should get you started.
However, unless there were a compelling reason, it'd be inclined to
1. read the file (idata = Import[])
2. sort out my data (data = Take[idata, {1, 1000000}] or data =
idata[[{1, 10000000}]];)
3. sort out my bins (bins = idata[[2000000, 2000000+20]])
