Subject: [BOYD] John Boyd of Newberry SC and Boyd, Sumter Co., Al
Date: Wed, 31 Jul 2002 11:53:15 +1000
While doing another job I came across Issue 19 of Dean Road, Winter 1992-93 which gave an outline of his family. pages 1-3
For those members who have not kept their copy or those newer members how never saw it in the first place, the story outlined is:-
"A lovely sign marks the approach to BOYD, now only a wide spot at a crossroads with a filling station, general store and a few homes. The hamlet received its name from John Boyd (1776-1854) who came from Newberry, SC where his grandfather John Boyd of Ballymena, North Ireland settled in 1772.
John Boyd and his wife Jennet Dial (dau of Jeremiah Dial) had ten children. He realised that he needed more land to take care of them and so he moved westward. John made two trips on horseback to scout the area and finally found land (1818) in Greene County near Old Eirie. They had quite a wagon train totalling 20 wagons, 37 slaves and of course 10 children. Everyone who could, walked and finally they settled into their new home by the time the last and eleventh chid, Robert was born in 1823.
When John Boyd, was not busy farming, he rode all over the area looking for the good red soil he had left behind in South Carolina. He finally found it in Choctaw Territory. John bargained with Chief Tubbi and bought 15,000-20,000 acres. He paid for this land with six yokes of oxen, five cows and one bull calf. The Indians had the right to trespass, hunt and fish on any of this land that was situated between the Succarnoochee River and Sanusi Creek 'As long as the sun rose in the east and set in the west'. Chief Tubbi and his wife are buried on Jefferson Boyd land on the bank of the river. The spot is marked by tow wooden markers to this day.
When the territory became part of Alabama due to the Dancing Rabbit Treaty, the Boyd family had to buy the land again from the US Government. .. Each child was given land for a home when he or she moved from their parent's two story house located on a bluff over the Sanusi Creek.
The parent's house has since burned down but the spot is marked by a chain link fence. ...
In the article it goes onto say that John's parents were High Boyd (before 1754-5 March 1799, Newberry, SC) who married Mrs Jennett Muffit. Hugh's father is given as John Boyd (1730-1806) who married Mary Fenn (note this is different to the Mary Senn which has been recently posted and this conflict will need to be resolved - Mike Boyd comment).
John came with Hugh and other children from Belfast aboard the Earl of Donnegal, Duncan Ferguson in command. Arrived Hampton Roads, VA 7 June 1768 and subsequently moved to 96th District, SC. [from the map I have of the old Districts and Counties, Newberry is not part of the 96th district but what looks like Little River District to the NE and next to the 96th.]
[Mike Boyds QUESTIONS: What did this John Boyd do from landing in Hampton roads, VA in 1768 until he moved to Newberry in 1772? Has the shipping records for the Earl of Donnegal been found in VA records and can it say if Mary Fenn/Senn was with him and "what were the other children". Charles Boyd of Atlanta, GA said they were Hugh , Elizabeth, John and David. However this is a small family for the time.
After the grandson John Boyd scouted for land in Greene Co., AL it would be interesting to know how many of the Newberry Boyds (or Boyds from the other NW SC counties) followed him to Greene Co., AL. This might be one aspect that if you have Boyds from Greene Co., AL (or counties around it) that you might need to look at and to advise the group.]
The article then goes onto name three earlier generations:-
William Boyd born 1690 Kilmarnock, Scotland and died Ballymena, Ireland (I was recently told this was 1760) but no wife given. [With his son John being born in 1730 - this would suggest he was the 4-6th child born to William]
Williams father is given as Robert Boyd who was born in Kilmarnock - no dates or wife.
While Robert father is given as Robert Bruce Boyd born Kilmarnock but no dates.
If we assume that each of the last two were born 20- to 30 years after the their father, we would be looking at period of 1650-1630. This would put Robert Bruce as the possible child of James Boyd ninth Lord Boyd who is thought to have been born 1600 and died about 1654. However he only had one son - William and three daughters. To find any male links to the Kilmarnock family we would have to go back to Robert Boyd, Master of Boyd, son of the 6th Lord Boyd (who was born about 1569 and died in May 1597) He had 4 brothers whom were born in the 1570's so there is still quite a gap yet to find before this family might be linked to the Kilmarnock family.
So those US Cousins when you are travelling through Alabama go via Boyd, Sumter Co. and remember the John Boyd how founded this town.
In 1992, it would appear from the article that this family had an reunion at Boyd. One of those mentioned - Robert Calton Boyd I know died in 1997 and I will have to chase the other names to see they might be able to contribute to the building of this family.
In the article there was an photo of a two story (2 levels) house saying it was James Marion Boyd's house. This was younger brother to John Montgomery Boyd (1816-1880?).

U.S. music sales continue to decline but the rate of decrease is slowing, according to the Recording Industry Association of America.
The industry organization has revealed that sales of recorded music and videos slipped 6 percent to $11.9 billion in 2003. The business saw a 7.1 percent decline in CD sales.
However, the rate of decline seems to have slowed, according to the RIAA. The organization reports that CD sales fell 8.9 percent in 2002. The industry group believes the shift began emerging in autumn as the RIAA began waging legal action against file downloaders. The sales figures don't include digitally distributed tracks, the RIAA says.
"The data suggests some stabilizing trends in the music industry. The year 2003 was important for the recording industry, with record companies offering consumers the widest choice and variety of ways to access music ever available, including through satellite radio and Webcasting streams, exclusive release deals, different pricing strategies, new formats and value-added CD/DVD combinations in retail outlets," says an RIAA statement.
RIAA's Review
"While the music industry continues to face serious challenges, we are pleased that trends appear to be going in a more positive direction," says Mitch Bainwol, chairman and CEO of the RIAA.
"Record companies have taken a proactive approach to dealing with piracy, implementing educational efforts and enforcement programs that have dramatically increased awareness of the illegality of unauthorized file sharing, while at the same time ensuring that their music is available on a wide array of legal online services," Bainwol says. "However, while legitimate online services continue to proliferate and evolve to meet consumer demands, this is truly a marketplace in its infancy."
A number of new online music services have emerged in the past year. Also, several heavy hitters in the tech industry--notably Microsoft--have announced intentions to launch competing services soon.
"Continued enforcement efforts are needed in order to create a level playing field on which legitimate online music services can compete and thrive," RIAA's Bainwol says.
The 2003 statistics are supplied by PricewaterhouseCoopers.
This story, "Music Sales Trend Noted" was originally published by MacCentral.

Long-time NCAR employee Gil Green died on 30 December in Boulder. Gil spent 20 years as a systems programmer in SCD before retiring in 1991.
In the early 1960s, Gil completed a five-year engineering degree at the University of Wyoming in three years. His connection to NCAR began shortly thereafter while he worked for Control Data Corporation, which supplied some of NCAR's first mainframe machines. As a regional expert for Control Data, Gil was flown into sites around the country to help solve hardware problems.
In his 1989 history of NCAR supercomputing, Paul Rotar recalls a glitch upon arrival of the CDC 6600 in December 1965. Slow positional disk access of the 6600 severely inhibited performance, so four drums were ordered separately from the 6600 to solve this problem. In Paul's words, "The drums were a particularly interesting challenge because Control Data staff had told us that they could not be made to work on a CDC 6600. Only one byte per revolution was moved. The drums stood in mute testimony to our folly until Gil Green, then a Control Data regional technical representative, changed the interlace in the drum controller to permit every other byte to be skipped, which better matched the data channel's speed." This provided the 6600 with a superb response time, and the machine served NCAR for the next 12 years.
After Gil came to NCAR in 1971, his career emphasis shifted from hardware to software. One of Gil's best friends was Gene Schumacher, the former head of SCD's Supercomputer Systems Group, who met Gil while both were with Control Data. "He was incredibly smart--he really knew computers," says Gene. "We collaborated on a few things where we'd each do a part of a software project and bring the parts together. As a professional colleague, he was superb." On and off the job, Gene recalls, "Gil was so generous with his own time. I'd get some cockeyed home-improvement project going, he'd come over, and we'd work it through, whether it was putting up sheetrock, tearing out concrete, or whatever. He was always right there to help and work it out."
Gil's interests beyond the workplace also included gardening, woodworking, bowling, and fishing. He is survived by his wife, NCAR switchboard operator Judy Green; four children, including Belinda Housewright (SCD); a sister; and a grandson. Donations in Gil's name may be sent to Rainbow Day Care and/or the Mount Calvary Lutheran Church Scholarship Fund, both of 3485 Stanford Court, Boulder. BH

Type of Document Dissertation Author Van Hook, James Albert Author's Email Address firstname.lastname@example.com URN etd-03052008-184657 Title The Reliabiliity and Validity of Screening Measures in Reading Degree Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) Department Psychology Advisory Committee
Advisor Name Title George Noell, Jr. Committee Chair Joseph C. Witt Committee Co-Chair Frank W. Gresham Committee Member William Drew Gouvier Committee Member R. Kenton Denny Dean's Representative Keywords
- Screening Measures
- Validity
- Reliability
Date of Defense 2008-02-12 Availability unrestricted AbstractNational educational groups have recommended the use of universal screening to assist in the
early identification of reading problems. One of the most widely used measures used for the universal screening of reading is oral reading fluency (ORF) (Fewster & Macmillan, 2002). However, ORF is somewhat time consuming to administer and has been reported to lack "face validity" with teachers (Fuchs, Fuchs & Maxwell, 1988). The purpose of this study was to investigate maze and other group-administered reading assessments because of their potential as a time efficient assessment that is as psychometrically valid as ORF. In this study, maze and a variation of maze known as sentence maze, both group-administered measures of basic reading performance and comprehension, were studied. A third assessment, picture word fluency, which measures a combination of site word reading and simple vocabulary, was also evaluated. The study consisted of two experiments. In the first experiment, these assessments were evaluated based on their psychometric adequacy, as well as their utility and accuracy for decision-making in the context of the requirements for universal screening. The purpose of the second experiment was to examine the generality of the results to another state with different criterion measures. A total of 789 regular education first, third and fifth grade students in two states participated in the two experiments. Students were administered CBM assessments and a criterion achievement measure. Two groups of validity analyses were reported: (a) those pertaining to concurrent/predictive validity, and (b) those pertaining to classification accuracy. These analyses revealed validity estimates for the two maze assessments similar to those shown in previous research studies. Similarly, the validity analyses for picture word fluency were also promising. Most germane to the evaluation of the screening measures was the classification accuracy analyses. Although the results were somewhat variable by grade, the results indicated that there was a moderate to high degree of concordance between those students identified as at risk by the group-administered CBM measures and the criterion measures used in this study, including ORF and the state accountability tests. The limitations of the study are discussed with suggestions for future research.

Brixton Pound (B£) will be expanding its activities and feeding knowledge into CCIA's international partnership of currency initiatives. Through the partnership the B£ will continue to build its infrastructure and relationships with local SMEs, providing Lambeth Council with useful data about the benefits and possibilities of community currencies as tools to stimulate local economic growth and civic involvement.
After testing the feasibility of launching an additional currency in the borough, the CCIA Lambeth Programme opted to support the development of the existing community currency, the Brixton Pound, in order to comprehensively test and understand the benefits community currency can provide to a local area.
The Brixton Pound has steadily gained users over the past 5 years of operation, and has a strong brand and reputation which has brought international attention to the area.
The CCIA programme will provide practical help and resources for the Brixton Pound as they scale up and move towards self-sufficiency. This work will inform the eventual expansion of community currency to new areas in the borough and learnings will feed into the package of toolkits and resources for currency initiatives produced by the partnership.

I had my tt on April 15 , 2010 and it still swollen . So far I see little results from the tt. But how long will the swollen last. I'm a police officer so wearing my garment with my bullet proof vest is very uncomfortable. Plz any ideas

It can take a pretty long time for all the swelling changes to occur after an abdominoplasty. I generally tell my patients that it will be 3-6 months before everything settles, stops changing, etc. Just be patient and it should settle down, albeit slowly. It is probably a good idea to continue with some good compression, as this helps get rid of some of the edema and retrain the skin.

July 29, 2013
CENTER VALLEY, Pa. - The Patriot League, in collaboration with Campus Insiders, announced Monday the creation of the Patriot League Network (PLN) that will greatly expand the video content and reach of its digital programming starting in the fall of 2013. Under this multi-year agreement, the Patriot League will live-stream hundreds of its men and women's sporting events free of charge, add branded studio programming, develop sponsorship opportunities and grow distribution on multiple platforms and devices.
The launch of the network will increase Loyola University Maryland fans' ability to watch free streaming content of their favorite Greyhounds teams. Loyola launched a free streaming program in the fall of 2011, and while the platform will change, fans will still have the ability to watch games free of charge on their computers, web-enabled televisions, tablet devices such as iPads and most smart mobile devices (iOS, Android, etc.).
"We are thrilled to be a launch partner of the Patriot League Network in our first year with the conference," said Jim Paquette, Loyola's assistant vice president and director of athletics. "Two years ago when we launched free streaming of our home events, we received tremendous feedback from fans who were thrilled to have access to watch the games. The PLN will give them an even broader opportunity to watch games that are away from Loyola, and it will further assist in branding and marketing Loyola and the Patriot League."
Since its launch in the fall of 2006, the Patriot League digital programming has offered more than 150 live events annually, which were also available on demand. Among those live events were coverage of 11 championships in 2012-13 and the entire League portion of the men and women's basketball season. Powered by Campus Insiders, the enhanced PLN will continue to provide on-demand video content, as well as live-stream an unprecedented number of events and numerous interviews, feature stories and highlight packages throughout the year.
PLN offers marketers with a unique opportunity to reach a targeted audience both regionally and nationally, as well as enhancing the League's multimedia presence. The League also has a multi-sport television agreement with CBS Sports Network which includes live event coverage of football, men and women's basketball and men's lacrosse.
All Patriot League programming will be available through www.campusinsiders.com, the online destination and leading digital content syndication source for college sports, as well as through the Patriot League and member institution websites. Campus Insiders, a partnership between Silver Chalice Ventures and IMG College, goes beyond the traditional sports media experience, giving dedicated fans an insider's perspective that includes behind-the-scenes content, original video programming (including hosts Bonnie Bernstein and Seth Davis) and live streaming events. Campus Insiders will incorporate the Patriot League into its many existing distribution relationships, including partners on VOD, OTT and IP-Connected platforms. This partnership will also include the development and management of a comprehensive Patriot League Network portal on Campus Insiders' website, mobile app and YouTube Channel.
Available to fans in mid-August, high-quality PLN content will be accessible on multiple devices, including laptops, smartphones and tablets, and will feature 10 unique channels of Patriot League action. Each of the league's institutions will have its own individual school-branded channel, while the Patriot League will offer a Conference-wide channel featuring all available digital content. In addition, beginning in 2014, Campus Insiders will produce TV-quality basketball and football games for PLN, as well as various other sports and championship events. The Patriot League will also provide reports and content from its PLN Correspondent for Campus Insiders and PLN.
"As the Patriot League prepares to launch its digital network this coming year, the partnership with Campus Insiders provides a wonderful gateway to stream contests in multiple sports to our audiences, free of charge," said Daniel H. Weiss, former President of Lafayette College and outgoing chair of the Patriot League Council of Presidents. "It also will prove to be a great complimentary piece to the League's CBS Sports Network TV package."
"The Patriot League features tremendous student-athletes and programs, as we are proud to be partnering with them," said Crowley Sullivan, general manager of Campus Insiders. "This is a great match of college sports content and Campus Insiders distribution platforms that will enable us to best serve the fans of the Patriot League and its member schools."
Campus Insiders has similar content portals and agreements with the Atlantic Coast Conference, Mountain West Conference and West Coast Conference, in addition to the University of Oregon.

Decaf and OP, I feel for you. You are in the predicament I thought I was in. With the F10 being out of the question of too many and too well known reasons to repeat there is no alternatives for us who loved the E60/E39 type of car. I thought the 3 lacked the space I needed and quality of material I wanted. Luckily for me the M3 sedan has proven to solve all of that and more. But it is no more in production and I can see how it becomes cramped if you are a big guy. This is why some of us expressed our utter dissapointment over and over and over again with the F10. If there were alternatives it would not have been such a big deal. Decaf if the F30 is too small which rules out the upcoming M3 the best hope I can see is that the porsche Pajun will come in a few reasonably priced versions. There is no way BMW can or will fix all F10 shortcomings in relation to cars like the E60 with an LCI. I've now driven the new M5 and when it can't do it an LCI will for sure not. The M5 is really a fantastic car but it's lacking in connected feel and it drives very big IMO.

And why did Wellington de Oliveira, a 23-year-old, unemployed former student of the same school, carry out his appalling rampage?
In Wellington, Kan., a new statute bans residents from having more than four cats in their homes.
Gracie packed up her Wellington boots, long-sleeved shirts, and trousers, and flew to Caracas with a five-liter alembic still.
Nevertheless, doubts persist in Auckland and Wellington about the Greenwald-Dotcom linkup.
Wellington de Oliveira went about his deadly business with ruthless efficiency.
"Let me show him," broke in the melancholy voice of Wellington Bunn.
The Duke of Wellington was said to have embraced her when a child.
The fight was long and desperate; but the Americans triumphed and defeated Riall and the veterans of Wellington.
Nanaimo, Wellington, and Commox are the centres of the coal-mining industry.
"I'll take you to Wellington Barracks," volunteered the Englishman.
boot so called from 1817, for Arthur, 1st Duke of Wellington (1769-1852), who also in his lifetime had a style of coat, hat, and trousers named for him as well as a variety of apple and pine tree.
from Dutch Nieuw Zeeland, literally "new sea land," but chiefly a reference to the Dutch province of Zeeland. Discovered 1647 by Dutch explorer Abel Tasman and originally named Staaten Landt; the name was changed the following year by Dutch authorities.
Nation in the southern Pacific Ocean containing two principal islands — North Island and South Island — and several small outlying islands. Its capital is Wellington, and its largest city is Auckland.
Note: New Zealand is known for its sheep industry and spectacular scenery.

President Obama has been talking a lot about climate change and other environmental issues over the past couple of months, but his remarks to the League of Conservation Voters (LCV) on Wednesday night provides a particularly good lens on his thinking on these subjects. Here are some of the top takeaways from that speech:
1. Mocking Republicans who question the link between human activity and global warming is now a Democratic talking point. Environmentalists have been doing this for years -- LCV launched a campaign last cycle against the "Flat Earth Five" in Congress -- but now, Obama has embraced their rhetoric. Tacitly referring to lawmakers such as House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio), the president said, "Most recently, because many who say that actually know better and they're just embarrassed, they duck the question. They say, hey, I'm not a scientist, which really translates into, I accept that man-made climate change is real, but if I say so out loud, I will be run out of town by a bunch of fringe elements that thinks climate science is a liberal plot, so I'm going to just pretend like, I don't know, I can't read."
Obama referred to the threat posed by this "radical fringe" within the GOP two weeks ago during his commencement address at the University of California, Irvine, saying the hostility toward climate science exceeds the kind of opposition previous presidents have faced. When President John F. Kennedy wanted to send people to the moon, Obama said, many said it wouldn't work, but few denied its existence or said the moon was "made of cheese."
2. He's not putting that pen down! Obama plans to impose stricter protections on federal land and waters through his executive authority. "Since I took office, we've established 10 new national parks, 10 new national wildlife refuges, 11 new national monuments," Obama said, prompting applause. "I just announced plans to further protect our oceans." The fact that the president is touting his use of the 1906 Antiquities Act -- which has drawn sharp criticism from congressional Republicans -- shows he plans to keep putting some areas under federal control off-limits to extractive activities.
3. The White House is also willing to have a fight over the Clean Water Act. For months, the Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership and other groups representing hunters and anglers have been pressing the administration to defend the decades-old law protecting U.S. water quality. Weighing in on the issue, Obama said, "And I'm not just going to stand with environmentalists -- I'm going to stand with sportsmen and conservationists against members of Congress who want to dismantle the Clean Water Act." After the crowd applauded, Obama added: "We've got to dredge up that old tape of the Cuyahoga River on fire, and the Chicago River, and just remind people that this thing worked. It was one of the great achievements of modern American politics ... realizing that we didn't have to trade off a healthy environment for our kids and economic growth."
In an e-mail, TRCP president Whit Fosburgh wrote the comments suggest the White House is willing to fight a bill authored by Sens. Joe Manchin (WVa.) and David Vitter (La.), which would limit the Environmental Protection Agency's jurisdiction over mining waste, and efforts to rollback a proposed EPA rule giving the federal government regulatory authority over millions of acres of wetlands and streams. Both efforts, Fosburgh wrote, "would directly undercut the law's ability to protect clean water (and habitat) as it has since the 1970s."
4. Betting on a winning candidate early has its benefits. During Wednesday's remarks, Obama got some of his biggest laughs when he explained why he was particularly indebted to LCV. "When I ran for the U.S. Senate, I was decidedly the underdog, really nobody knew me. And LCV, because it's a good-government type, goes through process, and they had the board interview all the candidates," he said, prompting a laugh. "And I went in and I did my shtick -- (the audience laughed again) -- and they endorsed me. And I was not at all favored to win. And it was the first and probably only prominent national organization to endorse me in the primary; everybody endorsed me in the general." After more guffaws, the president continued. "But for me, at least, it was a testament that this was an organization that cared about ideas, and obviously had a really good eye for talent."
After another round of laughs, Obama said: "So I am here primarily out of loyalty. There's a little payback going on here." This time his remarks drew both chuckles and applause. "But then there is also the whole protecting the planet thing." The audience laughed once more.
5. He's not touching the Keystone XL pipeline with a 10-foot pole. The State Department decided in April to postpone making a decision on the Keystone XL pipeline, which would ship heavy crude oil from Hardisty, Alberta, to refineries on the U.S. Gulf Coast. While environmentalists have made denial of a presidential permit one of their top policy priorities, Obama didn't mention it at all in his speech. Environmentalists remain staunchly opposed but do not have the same sense of urgency about it that they had a few months ago now that any final decision is likely to take place after the November mid-term elections.
6. The president has a soft spot for wacky University of California mascots. After his reference to UC Irvine prompted shouts from the crowd, Obama remarked, "There you go, UC Irvine. You got the little anteater," prompting some laughs. "I've got to say, it's a pretty cute mascot," he added. "An anteater, it's nice, I like it."
No word on whether the UC Santa Cruz banana slug mascot feels slighted.

The PhD is a doctoral degree, specifically called a "doctor of philosophy" degree. This is misleading because PhD holders are not necessarily philosophers (unless they earned their degree in philosophy!). That said, PhD recipients are able to engage in thought experiments, reason about problems, and solve problems in sophisticated ways.
Management PhD is a doctorate similar to a PhD in business. It is considered to be the highest possible degree that can be awarded in business. It is a program designed to help those practicing in the field with a quest for research and professional teaching as far as management is concerned worldwide.
Even though my attend distant learning classes online, several universities hold commencement at several locations. You could even stop taking classes for many weeks during the year without withdrawing and without throwing your student loans into repayment. That is a strong argument many people look at when enrolling in distance learning classes.
The USA remains the world's most popular destination for international students. Universities in the US dominate the world rankings and the country also offers a wide variety of exciting study locations. State university systems are partially subsidized by state governments, and may have many campuses spread around the state, with hundreds of thousands of students.

When I do land on your back I'll make you sorry you didn't stand still, my bucko.
Did it seem to you as if I was a little too much of the bucko mate to the boy?
Youll start right in now, my bucko, to learn what they were made for.
I'd not have sent for this bucko if Eileen didn't scare me by faintin'.
The bucko didn't sabe English, maybe, but a forty-four gun is easy translated in any language.
The captain is a hard nut and the mates are both of the 'bucko' type.
And let all the bruising bosuns and bucko ship's officers afloat jump on me, but give me that and I'll take a chance.
I may be a bucko, and I may be drunk to-night, but I know a man when I see one.
I have since learned that Dido won her wandering Æneas in Manila, and that the captain finally has found his "bucko mate."
I'll wait for ye, me bucko,' and I lay down in the corner and waited for him to come in.
term of address, originally (1883) nautical and with a sense of "swaggering, domineering fellow." Probably from buck (n.1) in the slang sense of "a blood or choice spirit."
There are in London divers lodges or societies of Bucks, formed in imitation of the Free Masons: one was held at the Rose, in Monkwell-street, about the year 1705. The president is styled the Grand Buck. ["Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue," 1811]

Kenya: Land and Corruption Heats Up Final Presidential Debate
Photo: Dickens Olewe
Eight presidential candidates faced off in the second and final debate with only a week to go to the general elections. Uhuru Kenyatta who had been expected to miss the debate went against his word to take part in the debate.
The three and half hour debate was moderated by Citizen TV Uduak Amimo and KTN's Joe Ageyo. The candidates gave their policy views on issues to do with the economy, corruption, causes of violence during election time and land and natural resources.
The debate on corruption and land drew the most debate and reactions from the candidates and in social media. The candidates were asked to answer to some of the corruption allegations that have been leveled against them over the years, a situation which resulted to confrontation and accusations of impropriety amongst them. The Goldenberg scandal was brought up with Musalia Mudavadi, Paul Muite and Martha Karua trading accusations of complicity and role in the corruption scandal which cost the Kenya economy billions of shillings.
Raila Odinga was taken to task about the acquisition of the Molasses plant, the maize and the Kazi kwa Vijana scandal. Uhuru Kenyatta was asked to come clean on his tenure as the Finance minister, Mohammed Dida was asked to clarify his business of facilitating human labour to the Middle East.James Ole Kiyiapi was asked to answer to corruption in the ministry of Education where money for the free-primary education programme was embezzled.
On the land question, Mr Kenyatta was asked to account for how much land his family owned, he revealed that his family owns 30,000 acres in Taita Taveta, he defended his family ownership of huge tracks of land, Kenyatta said that his family's land had been acquired through a willing buyer, willing seller arrangement. He also said that that he has not been charged or accused of impropriety and dared his competitors to table evidence to the contrary.
Mohammed Dida was once again the talk of social media with his witty remarks, his closing remark was widely talked about in social media, he said, "Politicians are working together for interests, lets join hands as Kenyans work together for prosperity."Kenyans go to the polls on 4th March 2013.

From Claudette at Scarborough Fair Bed and Breakfast

2 tsp butter flavor extract
1 1/2 cups vegetable or canola oil
3 eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
3 cups flour

1 1/2 tsp salt
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Beat sugar, oil and extract for 3-4 minutes until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time and beat until just combined. Add milk and blend well. Mix all dry ingredients together in a separate bowl with a whisk to remove lumps, then add to batter and mix again until just combined, being careful to not over mix the batter.
Stir your choice of the following measured ingredients for one version of the recipe until just combined. If you making two differently flavored recipes, divide the batter in half (about 4 cups of batter each), and add half of the ingredients needed for each flavor choice.

Vendors Wanted For Harvest Festival
The 37th annual Toccoa Harvest Festival will be held November 2nd and 3rd in downtown Toccoa. Though the event is more than two months away Toccoa Main Street Events Coordinator Sharon Crosby says it is time for vendors to sign up now. "Usually we send out applications to everyone, but this year we sent out postcards letting them know that our application is online." Says Crosby; " Anybody that is interested in being a vendor can go online to mainstreettoccoa.com, download the application, and send it in. Those that don't have a computer can call us at 706-282-3309."
The event typically boasts some 200 plus vendors. The fee for craft vendors is $40 per space and $50 after October 1st. Crosby says this year's Toccoa Harvest Festival will again emphasize "homemade". "One of the things that have made our festival different from others is that everything has to be homemade, home grown, or home baked." Crosby adds; "When people come they know that we are not just getting something made in another country and re-selling it here, but that we are trying very hard to stay with the homemade."

Dakota Fanning and Elle Fanning Pictures in LA After the Costume Institute Gala
Dakota and Elle Fanning Take Their Sister Act Back Out West
Dakota Fanning and Elle Fanning were together last night to touch down at LAX. They're home again in California following a very atypical Monday night spent out in NYC — the girls dressed up to hit the red carpet at the Costume Institute Gala. Dakota was young and having fun in a Valentino gown covered with flowers, while Elle kept things simple in a black and cream number from the same designer. The Fanning girls seem to have a taste for fashion, and they support their favorite designers from coast to coast. In addition to this week's big Met Ball, they also supported Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen's TEXTILE Elizbabeth & James line at a recent party in NYC. Dakota may soon have to forgo the LA-based bashes, though, depending on where she decides to go to college in the Fall.

The Tell-Tale Heart: A Musicabre
The tragedy is so thick you could pierce it with a hypodermic needle: A woman jilted by her worthless husband now finds her newly independent son preparing to marry a woman she feels is far beneath his class, so action must be taken. Is this some newly discovered Sophoclean epic? No, it's Robert Moulthrop's T.L.C., being presented at the Linhart Theater as part of this year's Fringe Festival. While one doesn't doubt that Moulthrop would love his Evelyn Coleman (played here by Margaret Daly) to be routinely mentioned with the likes of Clytemnestra, Medea, and Electra, that's likely not in the cards.
Though a middle-class nurse in a cardiac ward, Evelyn is the model of a contemporary woman: driven, independent, and loving. Perhaps too loving when it comes to her 28-year-old son Charlie: Her pondering his sexual escapades with his new love, Janey (whom, he's taken great pains to ensure, Mom has never met), sends her almost into debilitating hysterics; her attempts to uproot his union by badmouthing him to Janey's parents are the disquietingly calm actions of a woman with no conscience; and her incessant doting on her pet goldfish, her sucking down premade screwdrivers, and her drug cabinet of a kitchen suggest an addictive personality in need of everything except the void Charlie created.
No, this can't possibly turn out well, and Moulthrop doesn't miss a single, terrifying trick. He also doesn't do enough to clarify Evelyn's psychosis, so that her increasingly controlling behavior remains believable throughout. Much of the writing does little but juxtapose her "love" for Charlie against the least lovely doings imaginable; the repetitiveness of her actions, echoed in the imprisoned restlessness of Marc Silberschatz's staging, isn't alone enough for a consistently compelling play, however effectively it may circumscribe her mental defects.
Daly eerily evokes Evelyn's inherent childlike view of the world, with glazed-over eyes, vacant expressions, and an ethereal voice that perfectly place for us this woman with no grasp whatsoever on reality. The playwright, however, has no such leeway, and hasn't effectively crafted Evelyn's life and world in a way that will make them easily relatable to us. Better grounding her actions in some (any) form of common sense would allow us to more readily sympathize with a woman currently too monstrous to take seriously.
The Tell-Tale Heart: A Musicabre
If a cellist playing pizzicato isn't the ideal orchestral representation of a heartbeat, I don't know what is. Choosing that sound as the central, haunting theme of The Tell-Tale Heart: A Musicabre, is probably Danny Ashkenasi's greatest achievement with his Fringe Festival Edgar Allan Poe adaptation. As those fiercely plucked strings ring throughout the tiny Studio at the Cherry Lane, you feel just as Ashkenasi's narrator does when he imagines he hears an old man's heart beating feverishly during the last seconds of his life: crushingly guilty, yet also exhilarated, as if you, too, are about to commit a murder.
Very little else in this trim little piece (running scarcely 30 minutes) matches that moment of impending interior doom. Ashkenasi demonstrated his interpretive talent for this in Beyond at last year's Fringe Festival, which explored an opera singer's constantly churning mind in the last seconds of her life in similarly daring terms. But for The Tell-Tale Heart, his lyrics (taken almost entirely from Poe) tell almost all the story, leaving the tunes free to provide generically minor, dark, and discordant accompaniment. Those heartbeats are the only moments of even reasonable invention - most everything else sounds like take-out exercises from Poe Musicalization 101: never wrong, but never truly right.
Ashkenasi the actor is equally dichotomous: On the acting level, he often thrillingly evokes everyday lunacy, finding a creepy (yet intriguing) sexual satisfaction from the murder that most performers might miss; the drained, contented look on his face after smothering the old man is really something to see. Unfortunately, Ashkenasi's singing tends to be tortured, precisely pitched musically and emotionally but pushed in ways wrong for the character and worrisome for the audience (more than once, I found myself wondering whether he'd survive the show).
A more vocally accomplished performer in the lead role, more distinguishing music, and a better sense of the haughty glares from the disapproving public (which often infected Poe's writings) would make this Tell-Tale Heart make audiences' hearts beat faster. As it is, if Ashkenasi's work doesn't entirely succeed, it gets your blood pumping often enough to be worth the effort.

When you're planning a dinner, party, or special event, a gluten-free guest can present a challenge. But fear not hosts and entertainers, NFCA's printable guide to Entertaining Gluten-Free Guests is here to help.
Cooking and entertaining, especially for guests who have trouble eating safely outside their own kitchen, can be an especially rewarding endeavor. Whether you're preparing a completely gluten-free affair, or just a few options for your special celiac guest(s), these rules of thumb can help make planning your next event an easy and DELICIOUS gluten-free experience!
Do Your Homework.Thoroughly educate yourself on the gluten-free diet, even before you select a menu. Research safe ingredients, recipes, certified gluten-free products, and where you can purchase the items you'll need. If you're new to the gluten-free diet, have your guest recommend resources, products, and stores where gluten-free items are plentiful. NFCA's Getting Started Guide provides a comprehensive overview of safe and unsafe ingredients and celiac friendly retail locations.
Communicate. Establish open and honest lines of communication with your guest(s) – and right from the start! Be sensitive to their dietary needs, understanding of their concerns regarding ingredients and cross-contamination, and forthright in your mission to be a great host and gain their confidence. Exchange contact information so you both can communicate easily and directly throughout the process.
Ask Questions. Asking questions throughout your meal preparation can be reassuring for your special diet guests. It's also the best way to streamline the process and avoid any dinner party disasters – so ask as early and as often as necessary!
Select a Menu that's Easy and Enjoyable…For Everyone. There are so many naturally gluten-free ingredients and delicious menu ideas out there, cooking gluten-free can be simpler than you think. From mouthwatering options like chicken lettuce wraps, crab cakes and lasagna, chocolate chip cookies and hazelnut torte - it's very easy to create a 100% gluten-free meal that all your guests can enjoy!
And if you're not planning a completely gluten-free affair, consider making all your appetizers and/or side dishes gluten-free. Not only will this ease your workload and grocery needs, but also enable your celiac guest to enjoy more than just one special entrée. Looking for ideas? Visit www.CeliacCentral.org/recipes for simple and tasty gluten-free recipes.
Start From Scratch. Gluten is latent in many commonly used cooking products: salad dressings, marinades, rice mixes, even cooking sprays. Cooking from scratch will help you avoid any hidden gluten without difficulty, an important factor to consider when planning your gluten-free menu. The KISS principal (Keep It Simple Stupid) is one that certainly applies to gluten-free entertaining. And it's almost always safer, easier and HEALTHIER!
Broil, grill or pan-fry meat, fish and vegetables in olive oil or light butter. Bake or roast potatoes, and toss salads in homemade balsamic vinegar dressing - Voila, a delicious, nutritious, gluten-free meal!
Shop Savvy. When picking up the gluten-free ingredients you'll need, it's important to ensure that each product you plan on using have been CERTIFIED gluten-free or made in a dedicated gluten-free facility. You can visit CeliacCentral.org to find a directory of trusted brands and manufacturers. Invite Your Guest To Help. At a loss or a little overwhelmed? Involve your celiac guest in the menu planning, or ask them to bring their favorite dish – most are more than willing to do so. Invite them to shop with you as you gather supplies, or ask to borrow a specific ingredient, like gluten-free tamari or soy sauce (Yes, soy sauce can contain gluten!), from their own kitchen.
Identifying and purchasing your gluten-free ingredients is easy part. Preventing cross-contamination, especially in a shared kitchen, is the biggest challenge when it comes to entertaining gluten-free guests. Any food that comes into contact with the tiniest speck of gluten will become contaminated, a serious health risk for someone with celiac disease. Fortunately, identifying your cooking strategy ahead of time and being mindful of a few cross-contamination hazards in the kitchen can help you execute everything safely and easily!
Fresh & Clean. Yes. Cooking in a kitchen where gluten-containing meals are regularly prepared can be done! No. You do not have to purchase separate cooking tools in order to cook a safe gluten-free meal! Wash everything you plan to use completely with soap and hot water, or run it through the dishwasher prior to getting started. Pots, pans, utensils, dishware, measuring cups, and food processors - you name it. Make sure to wipe kitchen counter tops and appliances down as well. Gluten can hide in tile crevices, or stick directly to any surface when wet - so use disinfecting sprays and wipes, or soap and hot water when you clean your cooking area.
Always Remember: From purchasing ingredients to cooking in the kitchen, if you ever have any doubts as to whether something is 100% gluten-free – do NOT serve it to your guest.
Get Organized. Identify a plan for avoiding cross-contamination before you start. Designate certain kitchen supplies, even a special area of the kitchen, for preparing gluten-free foods only. Labeling or color-coding supplies is another easy way to prevent you from accidentally contaminating anything as you are cooking. Customize your strategy to your kitchen and cooking habits - there's no right or wrong way, as long as your gluten-free food stays 100% safe from start to finish!
Avoiding Cross-Contamination. Once you have a plan, take a deep breath and get cookin'! There's no need to be scared, just stay conscious and aware at all times. And above all, remember that if you have any doubts as to whether something is 100% gluten-free – do NOT serve it to your guest. Start over, or prepare something else.
Here are a few tips for preventing cross-contamination as you cook:
Be sure to watch out for these sneaky (but common) cooking hazards:

House Minority Leader John Boehner (R.-Ohio), who likely would become speaker of the House if the Republicans take back control of the House of Representatives in the November elections, said Sunday on CBS's "Face the Nation" that he wants to repeal the health-care law that President Barack Obama signed in March and replace it with less intrusive health-care reforms proposed by the Republican Party because he believes Obamacare will ruin the nation's health care system while bankrupting the country.
In a Gallup poll released one month ago that measured how Americans approve of Obama's performance on specific issues, 57 percent said they "disapprove" of the way Obama is handling the health-care issue. That poll was conducted Aug. 5-8, more than four months after Obama and a Democratically controlled Congress enacted a landmark health-care reform law that mandates that all Americans must have a health-insurance policy that meets certain criteria set by the government.
According to the Congressional Budget Office, this legislation marks the first time in the history of the United States that the federal government has required individuals to purchase any good or service. Boehner's remarks on CBS's "Face the Nation" may serve to sharpen the focus of the November election as a referendum on whether Obamacare will be fully implemented.
As the law is currently written, the mandate forcing Americans to buy a government-approved health insurance plan will not take effect until 2014—two years after the next presidential election.
"You have said your Number 1 priority is to repeal the health care legislation," CBS's "Face the Nation" host Bob Schieffer said to Boehner. "Do you mean the entire bill, including some of the things that are so overwhelmingly popular, like the prohibition on discrimination based on pre-existing conditions for children or allowing young adults to stay on their parents' plans until they are 26?"
"What I want to do is repeal the Obamacare and replace it with common sense reforms that will bring down the cost of health insurance and protect American jobs," said Boehner. "And the things that you rattle off are the kinds of things that both parties agree to and we agreed to before the health care bill went into law. The Republicans outlined eight or nine ideas--including those--that really would bring down the cost of health insurance without putting the government in charge of our health care.
"You need to understand that in my opinion Obamacare will ruin the best health care system in the world and it will bankrupt our country," said Boehner.
Boehner also said that for the government to spur job creation in the private sector federal spending needs to be controlled and all of the income-tax-rate cuts enacted during the Bush administration—which are set to expire at the end of this year—should be extended.
"What I have said repeatedly is we need to control spending in Washington, D.C.," said Boehner. "We need to remove the uncertainty that clouds our economy from all these new policies and programs being enacted by this Congress. And we need to provide certainty in terms of what the tax rates are going to be. And I believe that extending all the current tax rates would be a very good sign to the private sector that we expect to create jobs in our country."
Boehner did state that if the current congressional leadership gave him no choice but to vote for extending the Bush tax cuts only for Americans and small businesses earning less than $250,000 per year--while allowing the tax cuts to expire for individuals and small businesses earning more than that--he would vote for such legislation. But he made clear that his preference would be to continue all of the lower tax rates enacted under Bush.
"I think raising taxes in a very weak economy is a really, really bad idea, and most economists would agree with that," Boehner said. "And I just think that if we're going to extend the tax cuts for some Americans, why don't we extend these current tax rates to all Americans, and get rid of some of the uncertainty that's out there, so that small businesses can plan, and reinvest in their business, and the new economy?"
Schieffer asked Boehner if, by insisting on continuing the lower tax rates for those earning more than $250,000 per year, Boehner would be holding the tax cuts "hostage" for lower income people.
"I want to do something for all Americans who pay taxes," Boehner said. "You have to understand, Bob, that there are large majorities of Democrats in the House and Senate. They haven't reached out to us for the last 20 months. It's not Republicans standing in the way here. There's a growing chorus of Democrats in both the House and Senate who believe we should extend the current tax rates for all Americans. When you look at who's going to be taxed, about half of all small business income will be taxed under the President's proposal. These are the very people that we expect to invest in the economy and to start creating jobs. Why would we want to punish them?"
Schieffer challenged Boehner's assertion, noting that Congress's Joint Committee on Taxation said that "only 3 percent of those small business people" would be affected by allowing the Bush tax cuts to expire for those earning more than $250,000. Schieffer asked Boehner if he "quarreled" with that analysis.
"Well, it may be three percent [of small business people], but it is half of small business income," Boehner said, "because obviously the top 3 percent have half of the gross income for those companies that we would term small businesses. You don't want to punish these people at a time when you have a weak economy. We need them to reinvest in their business."
Boehner made clear he would support legislation this year to continue the lower tax rates for only those earning under $250,000 per year if that was the only alternative the current congressional leadership allowed.
"If the only option I have is to vote for some of those tax reductions, I'll vote for it," he said. "But I've been making the point now for months that we need to extend all the current rates for all Americans if we want to get our economy going again, and we want to get jobs in America."
Boehner made clear that in his view it would be "bad policy" to increase the tax rates for individuals and small businesses earning more than $250,000 per year, and that he would fight for an across the board extension of the lower tax rates enacted under President Bush.
"If the only option I have is to vote for those at $250,000 and below, of course I'm going to do that," said Boehner. "But I'm going to do everything I can to fight to make sure that we extend the current tax rates for all Americans."

Case Dismissed Against JR Valrey
The case against POCC Minister of Information JR Valrey was dismissed this morning in Oakland Superior Court, due to a lack of evidence.
The trumped up case against POCC Minister of Information JR Valrey was dismissed this morning in Oakland Superior Court, due to a lack of evidence. This was a major victory for anti-police terrorism activists and freedom of speech as a whole. However, Holly Works, also of Oakland, is still facing criminal charges resulting from her trumped up arrest during the Oscar Grant uprisings in January of 2009. Please help us keep the momentum going! Holly's trial begins Monday, March 1st. With any luck we'll be celebrating her victory as well as JR's!

the DA is a liar, she knew JR didn't set no fire
but she dragged JR all the way up to this point when it could have been dropped a year ago by DA Orloff
Monday Feb 22nd, 2010 2:39 PM
Fuck, if there is any better example of the "process being the punishment" out there...
Now... every DA associated with this case out there deserves a punch in the face... and after that, we can really get started on their asses.

The internet is an expansive space of networks that bring consumers and suppliers together. Through this intangible connection, people communicate, interact and make purchases all from the security and comfort of their living rooms. It is easy to use and even simpler to become obsessed with, which is why e-commerce jobs and sales are on the rise.
Landing an e-commerce job can mean many things. There are various tasks that need to be performed in order to create a successful e-commerce website, and each duty requires specific qualities and understandings of certain aspects of business. Throw in the fact that more consumers are turning toward the internet to make purchases, and the aurora surrounding e-commerce becomes a bit more monumental.
In the most recent census conducted by the Census Bureau, consumers spent a total of $145,214,000,000 in online purchases - a number that is expected to rise 21.8 percent annually, and skyrocket to $234 billion by 2012, reports Pricewaterhouse.
One of the main reasons for this leap in spending is from the increase of smartphone usage amongst consumers. People are still entering retail outlets as frequently as they have in the past, however, the difference is that they are physically interacting with the products, but digitally purchasing them from their cellphone.
In a recent study conducted by Retrevo, 58 percent of smartphone owners stated that they regularly check-out electronics in store, but purchase the product elsewhere online. The servery also found that 42 percent of users check prices of items online and compare their findings to what is advertised in-store. No longer are retail outlets the thriving source of consumerism, it seems that e-commerce businesses will soon reign supreme.
The findings should not come as a surprise. In most industries, the internet has effected the way businesses conduct work, completely altering and damaging a few, such as print publications. As e-commerce sales continue to rise, consumers will have to accept the inherent risk of entering private information into a virtual point of sale terminal. Online criminal activity has also risen, which in turn has caused consumers to rethink where they make their purchases. This increased awareness has effected e-commerce businesses as a whole, as they seek employees who can bring something innovative to the table when it comes to transaction security.
E-commerce enterprises operate in a similar fashion to brick-and-mortar stores. The only difference is that the overhead costs to maintain their service are usually much less, which could prove to be a significant advantage for those who operate digitally. Business owners who can save a few extra dollars on operational costs are able to focus funds on other aspects of their business, such as marketing or product development, which will only serve to further their outreach and enhance their profitabiliy.
