I found the transcript of Jeremiah, Sr.'s will. It was in the Rowan
County Register (genealogy society newsletter, I think). It states that "the
original, unrecorded will of Jeremiah (X) Wellman Sr., written 7 Apr. 1816,
prb. 1819 [085.901.27, North Carolina State Archives], was transcribed in
RCR, Vol. 11, No. 2 (May 1996), pp. 2480-1." I believe that means the
Archives should have the original will.
Also, in this info, it says that the original Wellman family birth
records are available from the Special Collections Library, Duke University,
Box 90185, Durham, NC 27708-0185. You may be able to contact Duke to see if
you can get a copy of this info.
Jeremiah Wellman can be identified in Rowan County on Elisha's Creek
by 26 Aug 1785, Deed Book 13:908.

Jeremiah Wellman, Sr. served in the American Revolution. Margaret
Terry Tuck submitted an application for membership in the DAR on 29 July
1971. She stated that Jeremiah Wellman was a Private 5th Class, 4th Co.,
Middle Battalion, Montgomery County Militia on a list dated July 15, 1780.
She cited page 39 of the Revolutionary War Militia Lists, published by the
Maryland Historical Society in Baltimore, MD. She also cited volume 3, page
61 of the unpublished Revolutionary Records of Maryland by Margaret Hodges.
(Also, Maryland Rev. Records, Vol. IV, pg 232)
Additional: I (Dianne E. Janis) submitted an application (which was
approved) as an additional Revolutionary ancestor in the DAR, which was
approved last fall (2006), through Jeremiah, Sr.'s son, Cornelius. I
submitted Jeremiah Sr.'s Will, as proof of the generational link to his son,
Cornelius, who was previously unproven.
Lee HOGAN; 3129 S Winston Street, Aurora, CO, 80013:
Jeremiah's name is found on a deed in 1787 (Rowan County, CR, Bk 13,
p 908). He sold this same tract to Thomas Wellman, apparently his son, in
1820 (Bk 32, p 184).
NC Census of 1790 in Rowan County reflects three WELLMANs:
Jeremiah Wellman: 1 male over 16, 5 males under 16, 2 females
John Wellman: 1 male over 16, 0 males under 16, 2 females
Thomas Wellman: 1 male over 16, 1 male under 16, 1 female
John & Thomas are generally considered as sons of Jeremiah.
Marriage records for Rowan County, NC reflect:
Joseph Welman and Mary Miles, 6 August 1793
Samuel Welman and Anne McMahon, 1791
Thomas Welman and Lucinda Nichols 1789 (witness Jeremiah Wellman)
Thomas Welman and Polly Sain 1814
Jeremiah's name as a witness or bondsman establishes that Thomas was
his son. But some may doubt that Samuel was a son, since the John in the
above census may have been the father. But this John left a will in Rowan
County, NC in 1832, naming four married daughters while if he had been about
the same age as Jeremiah, or a cousin, he would hardly have lived so long.
Also, Rev. Thomas middle-named a son "Samuel" so it appears that Samuel was
a son of Jeremiah and probably Joseph was, as well. The Samuel may have
come from the maternal side. So far, the children of Jeremiah were:
1. John Wellman, b abt 1765 in Maryland, marr abt 1788 (Jinnett
(Jeanette) and settled in Rowan Co., NC (per Will)
2. Thomas Wellman, b 1766 in Maryland, moved to Kentucky
3. Samuel Wellman, b abt 1773, moved to Kentucky and later Indiana
4. Joseph Wellman, b abt 1770, in Maryland, marr in 1793 Mary
5. Jeremiah Jr. His name appears on a deed in Rowan Co., NC in
1831 at which time his alleged father would normally have been deceased.
This Jeremiah marr in 1805 Mary Sain - Rowan Co Records. "Jerry Wellman and
wife, Mary, and Edmunt Taylor and wife, Hette, sold land on Elisha Creek to

Thomas Wellman was listed in the 1790 Rowan County census, his

Sometime thereafter he moved to Kentucky. The family history describes
Thomas as "a powerful Methodist minister" who converted many people at large
open air camp meetings. He had seven children by Lucinda, born between
about 1791 and about 1808: Catherine, Mary, Jeremiah, Andrew Newton,
Elizabeth, Thomas Samuel and Richmond A.

of his death in Oldham County in 1859. Four of his seven children had
already predeceased him. His will, dated 23 June 1857, was probated in the

Jeremiah, Sr.'s Will indicates that a Cornelius Wellman, born 23 May 1777,
was the son of Jeremiah Wellman, Sr. (~1743-~1819) and his wife. Tabitha,
died 1819. Jeremiah and his wife, Tabitha died in Rowan County, NC in 1819.
This Will lists the following eight children: Samuel, Thomas, John, Joseph,
Cornelius, Jeremiah, Jr., Zakariah and Elizabeth.
Notes for ELIZABETH ??:
Elizabeth's 1820 census record shows her birth as between 1775 and 1794; her
1830 record shows birth as between 1770 and 1780. Therefore, she was born
between 1775 and 1780.
1830 Kentucky census: Oldham County, pag 260, line 23: Elizabeth Welman,
two females 15-20 years of age, one female between 50-60.

Notes for MARY SARAH WELLMAN:
Mary Sarah Wellman married John Nichols in Oldham County, KY on May 22,
1827. (Oldham Co, KY Marriages 1823-50, pg 19) Mary Sarah (Sally) Wellman
may not be the child of Cornelius and Elizabeth Wellman -- but rather of

Notes for MARY SAIN:
SOURCE: "Heritage of Rowan County" (North Carolina)
THE ZIRN/ZURN/HIRN/SAINs OF DAVIE COUNTY, NC (OLD ROWAN)
German immigrant Casper Zirn arrived in PhiIadaiplia on September
25, 1749. He traveled aboard the ship "Dragon" from Rotterdam, HoIland and
last from Deal, England. His name was spelled three different ways on the
three lists required at time of arrivaI in America. The "A" list by the
ship's master George Spencer showed him to be Gasper Zurn, the "B" list,
abdicating the Catholic Church, listed him as Caspar Hirn; and the "C" list
swearing allegiance to King George of England had a signature of Casper
Zirn. Many years later when signing deeds of transfer, Casper would sign his
name in German script "Casper Zirn" and the clerk in writing the deeds,
spelled "Zirn" as "Sain".
Little is known of his early life in America other than he was in
Pennsylvania for quite a while. He brought his family to North Carolina
during the l770s and settled on the east side of Dutchman's Creek in an area
known as the "Heidelberg Settlement", indicating that perhaps many of the
German setters in the area were from Heidelberg, Germany. A log church was
erected which was called Heidelberg Evangelical Litheran Church but was
better known as the "Dutch Meeting House" because of its location on
Dutchman's Creek. An old leatherbound church record book with its early
entries written in German script provides records of births, baptisms, and
attendance at Holy Communion. Many of the early German settlers were buried
in the adjoining cemetery. Frederick Zurn's birth on July 16, 1775 was the
earliest notation concerning the Sain family at Heidelburg Lutheran Church.
Many others followed.
Casper Sain (listed as Casper Zurn and Gasper Seen) received a land
grant of 600 acres in 1778 and another grant of 522 acres in I784, making a
total of 1,122 acres on Bear Creek. In 1836, Davie County was formed out of
part of Rowan County, and the area where the Sains lived was then in Davie
County and included what many years later would be the intersection of
Highways 601 and 158. Casper sold 250 acres of his land to Andrew Mock,
that property becoming known as Mocks Old Field and later Mocksville, the
present County seat of Davie County.
Casper Sain married Rosanna Mocke (?) and they had at least seven
(1) John Sain was born about 1755, married Elizabeth Huff in Rowan County
and had six chldren: Catherine, Sarah, Daniel, Ellender, Elizabeth and
(2) George Sain was born about 1764 and married Anna Elizabeth Booe whose
parents were Jacob and Eva Kuhn Booe. Jacob Booe (Buhe) was probably a son
of Stophel (Christopher) Buhe, who is said to have arrived at Philadelphia
from Germany in 1734 at the age of 25. Stophel Buhe was among the first
white settlers in the Heidelberg section of Rowan County, between George,
Jr. and Elender. Many of these remained in Rowan County (now Davie) and
are buried at the grounds of Oak Grove Methodist Church. In 1850, before
the present building was erected, the congregation held its meetings at the
"Sain Schoolhouse".
(3) Joseph Sain was born about 1769 and married Mary Magdalena Booe who was
a sister of his brother George's wife. They had nine children: George,
William, Rosanna, Andrew, Eve, Jacob, Daniel, Nancy, and Henry. Jacob is
known to have lived in Davidson County but all others are believed to have
migrated to western Tennessee about 1832.
(4) Esther Sain was born about 1771 and on December 14, 1792 marred John
Harrowood. We have no record of their family.
(5) Fredric Sain was born July 16, 1775 in Rowan County and left after 1810.
We believe he lived many years in Fayette County, Indiana and died in
Wabash, Indiana in 1853.
(5) Daniel Sain was born March 23, 1780 in Rowan County, NC and married a
red-headed Irish girl. Mary Martha "Patty" Davis in 1800. They had eight
children: Casper, Klineberry Davis, Debitha, George Mumford, Basil Gaither,
Sarah, Nimrod, and Margarite. They moved to Warren County in middle
Tennessee about 1817 and most of the family remained there. Their farm is
now owned and operated by Oris Sain, a great-great-grandson.
(7) Marey Sain was born about 1782 and married Jeremiah Wellman on November
16, 1805. They had nine children: Elizabeth, Sarah, Mehetable, Edith,
Martha, Jeremiah, Nathan, Cepander, and Margaret.
Children of JEREMIAH WELLMAN and MARY SAIN are:

Bredin Press > Press Release 3/6/2007
Email Newsletters Are the Preferred Information Source for Small and Medium Businesses
SMBs Engage Regularly with Email Communications to Get Practical, How-To Information from Their Vendors
CAMBRIDGE, MA, March 6, 2007 – Email newsletters are one of the two most important sources for business management information and advice for small and medium businesses (SMBs), according to a new study released today by Bredin Business Information, Inc. (Bredin).
"Optimizing Email Newsletters for Small/Medium Businesses" is based on a survey of more than 300 SMB executives to determine which types of email newsletters they are most likely to open and read, and what they look for in an email newsletter from their vendors. Bredin conducted the study in January/February 2007 and released the results at MarketingSherpa's annual Email Marketing Summit. In the survey, small businesses were defined as companies with fewer than 100 employees; medium businesses were defined as companies with 100-500 employees.
In the study, SMB executives were asked to judge the relevant importance of different media for business management information. 83% of respondents indicated that email newsletters were either very important or important sources, putting it in a near statistical tie with print media (84%) and ahead of corporate/media websites (71%). At the bottom of the list were many of the "new" media distribution methods, including webcasts/podcasts (40%), RSS feeds (39%) and blogs/wikis (34%).
"It is clear that small and medium businesses value the information they get from email newsletters," said Stu Richards, CEO of Bredin. "Marketers right now should be investing resources in this form of communication because it offers an excellent vehicle to position their company as a trusted advisor."
SMB executives also knew the kinds of articles they wanted to see in their vendors' email newsletters. By far, practical "how to" information (40%) was the preferred form of content, followed by company product information (26%), management overviews on topics such as strategy or leadership (21%), company news (19%) and case studies (17%).
Among other key findings from Bredin's SMB email newsletter report:
- SMB executives pay attention to email newsletters. 65% of respondents said they read some issues thoroughly and skim others, 12% said they skim all of them, and 11% said they read every one completely.
- When asked what is most important in deciding whether or not to read a vendor's email newsletter, 64% said it was who the newsletter was from. The subject line (16%) was secondary.
- Four out of five respondents said they had at one point unsubscribed to a vendor's email newsletter. The top reasons for stopping an e-newsletter? Irrelevant content (63%) and didn't want something that wasn't being read (58%).
- The vast majority of SMB executives want to receive their email newsletters weekly (45%) or monthly (34%). Few want them daily (11%) or quarterly (6%).
- Half of SMBs were indifferent as to what day they would like to receive email newsletters, but those that did express a preference preferred Monday. "First thing in the morning" or "anytime during the day" were the times they said they were most likely to read their e-newsletters.
- A successful email newsletter can have a positive impact on the vendor's image. A third of SMB executives said they had an improved image of a vendor from its e-newsletters. However, the opposite may also be true when an e-newsletter is poorly executed – 14% said the email newsletter damaged the sender's image.
"By understanding what SMBs expect from the email newsletters they receive, marketers can deliver better communications that clearly meet those needs," Bredin's Richards noted. "Business-to-business marketers should be using this information to refine their SMB-focused email newsletters to get the best possible response. And companies that currently don't communicate with their customers and prospects this way should consider launching their own information-driven e-newsletters."
About the study
Bredin Business Information conducted the "Optimizing Email Newsletters for Small/Medium Businesses" study to better understand usage patterns, attitudes and enhancement opportunities for email newsletters. Over 300 executives at small and medium sized businesses took the online survey in January and February 2007. Respondents were evenly split among very small businesses (1-19 employees), small businesses (20-99 employees) and medium businesses (100-500 employees). In order to take the survey, respondents had to subscribe to one or more email newsletters.

A new study has found that socially responsible investing, or SRI, continues to gain steam in the U.S. marketplace.
The Report on Socially Responsible Investing Trends in the United States from the Social Investment Forum found that SRI assets are up. Nearly $1 of every $8, or 12.2 percent of the $25.2 trillion in total assets under management, is involved in some strategy of socially responsible and sustainable investing.
In fact, SRI investments have attracted more new investments than the rest of the market over the past 3 years. Sustainable and socially responsible investing assets have grown more than 13 percent compared to the universe of professionally managed assets, which increased less than 1 percent.
Socially responsible investing is based on three tenets:
- Screening investments based on environmental, social or governance criteria.
- Shareholder advocacy.
- Community investing.
The screening component is pretty self-explanatory. Individual investors may screen their own investments based on their religious or political convictions in addition to environmental or governance issues. Socially responsible mutual funds work much the same way, screening out companies that either do not engage in the offending activity or are trying to improve. Or, the fund may simply restrict poor performers. The website Socialinvest.org has a great tools and resources section that shows comparisons on how funds are screened.
Much of the criticism of the socially responsible investing industry focuses on screening. For instance, if animal welfare is your concern, the socially responsible mutual fund industry may be disappointing: according to Socialinvest.org, very few mutual funds screen out companies that engage in animal testing.
Other criticisms are aimed at the inclusion of oil companies in SRI funds, restaurant chains that use factory farmed animals and so on.
It's not perfect, but it's a start.
Shareholder advocacy refers to shareholders filing resolutions as well as voting their proxies at shareholder meetings.
According to the report from the Social Investment Forum Foundation, shareholder advocacy has grown from 2008; more than 200 institutions and investment management firms have filed or cofiled shareholder resolutions and proposals.
Community investments are investments that go toward strengthening a certain community. For instance, the deposits from CDs bought at community development banks or credit unions go towards loans to businesses within the community. Similarly, community development loan funds and venture capital funds provide financing to local businesses and institutions trying to improve their community.
Assets in community investing institutions are also growing, according to the trends report, rising more than 60 percent from $25 billion in 2007 to $41.7 billion at the beginning of this year.
In the press release, Social Investment Forum Board Chair Cheryl Smith, Ph.D., says "During the last three years of prolonged financial and economic turmoil, investors voted with their dollars, showing that they understand the value of incorporating environmental, social, and governance factors in the investment process."
Only time will tell what kind of impact investor pressure will have over corporations' behavior as well as that of individuals. Hopefully this is in an indication that the U.S. is moving toward more sustainable business practices – both for the environment and investors.
What do you think?

The Ugly Book
Here is one more of those delightfully funny gift books, but The Ugly Book is a book with a difference: No sentimentality here! Instead of adorable kittens or winsome pooches, The Ugly Book presents portraits of a warthog, a seriously unkempt boar, the derriere of a rhino, and several lovably funny-looking canines that will never win prizes at the Westminster dog show. A ferociously grinning alligator is presented with a caption that comments on his warm, welcoming smile. And a big, silly-looking dog is described as having skin as smooth as a baby s bottom. It s a hilarious look at the more cosmetically-challenged members of the animal kingdom, a collection of animals to make even the most ordinary-looking readers feel positively beautiful by comparison. Full-color photos on every page.

Suns begin playoffs with 6-1 win over Power
By Eli Pearlstein / Hagerstown Suns | September 4, 2013 6:44 PM ET
CHARLESTON, W.V. - The Hagerstown Suns (1-0) began their 2013 postseason with a 6-1 triumph over the West Virginia Power (0-1) at Appalachian Power Park. The win gives the Suns a 1-0 lead in the best-of-three semi-final series.
The Suns opened the scoring in the top of the third. Back-to-back singles by catcher Pedro Severino and SS Stephen Perez began the inning. A one-out walk to 2B Tony Renda loaded the bases for 1B Shawn Pleffner, who also wound up walking to drive in the first run of the frame. A wild pitch by Power starter RHP Tyler Glasnow (0-1) then allowed the second run of the inning to score, and DH Wander Ramos doubled the Suns lead when he belted a two-run double to center field to put Hagerstown ahead 4-0.
Each team plated a run in the sixth to keep the margin at four. In the top half of the inning Severino again led off with a single. Two batters later, CF Isaac Ballou hit a double to right, putting runners at second a third. Severino scored from third when Renda grounded into a force out at second to put the Suns up 5-0.
West Virginia quickly responded in the bottom half of the inning when CF Raul Fortunato smacked a two-out line drive double to left, which drove home RF Josh Bell from first. Later in the inning the Power stranded the bases loaded.
The final Suns run scored in the seventh. Right fielder Bryan Lippincott sent a two-out single to left. Lippincott advanced to second on a throwing error on a pickoff attempt. He scored from second when LF Estarlin Martinez singled to left, setting the final score.
Starting RHP Austin Voth (1-0) tossed five scoreless innings for the Suns to earn the win. He allowed three hits while walking two and striking out five. Glasnow suffered the loss for West Virginia. He went 2.2 innings, giving up four earned runs on three hits and three walks while striking out five.
The Suns and Power continue their best-of-three semi-final series with game two on Friday, September 6. First pitch is scheduled for 7:05p.m. Hagerstown will send RHP Pedro Encarnacion (10-9, 3.58) to the mound for his 25th start of the year and first start of the playoffs. He will be opposed by RHP John Kuchno (9-5, 4.01) for West Virginia.

A swarm of bees caused two delays on Sunday's Major League Baseball game between the Los Angeles Angels and the Seattle Mariners.
Reuters reports that the bees were shooed away with a fire extinguisher after showing up twice in the outfield. They first arrived in the 3rd inning and distracted the outfielders and the pitchers, causing a 23-minute delay before the game was resumed. The bees weren't done as they came back in the 4th inning for more before they were finally driven away with a fire extinguisher.
The Mariners coach Eric Wedge said that he had never seen anything like that even though he's seen several types of bugs in his days as a manager. The Mariners won the game 3-2.

If you've been following the battle among legalization advocates in Colorado as we've been covering it throughout the day, we told you we were in contact with the organizations that filed the legalization initiatives in Colorado for their responses, and SAFER's Mason Tvert was the first to get back to us.
"We tried to include CTI and Legalize 2012 in the drafting process, and asked them to provide suggestions and proposed changes," Mason told me. " It's a shame they did not do so and instead spent a week complaining about not being included.
"It's exceptionally disingenuous for this group to be calling this initiative a carpetbagging effort, when in fact the organizations behind it represent tens of thousands or more Colorado marijuana reform supporters.
"It's always easier to tear things down then it is to build them up. Unfortunately, these folks have opted to dedicate their time to attacking other reformers and fracturing this movement, as opposed to contributing to achieving our shared goal of ending marijuana prohibition."
It seems things are just heating up. We will bring you all the developments on this story as they become available.

if you don't want to go active (stupid reason anyway), go passive, but stick to the major brands (Duncans, etc.).
a good pickup can make a big difference if you have a poor rig (amp/effects).
just as a good rig can get you a decent sound even from mediocre pickups.
so what's it gonna be?
i don't consider the HZ's to be worth upgrading to.
(if you're stuck with a pair, it's another story, but not to go out and buy them)
but now we get into all that personal prefference thing...
my advice is to stick with top brands.
if you don't have the cache, change them only on one guitar...
or replace the bridge pickup...
(use this to try out more models (f.e. Invader, JB, Dime... ))
that is what i did with a cheap guitar that i took for firewood: replaced the bridge pickup and after a year (i was pleased with the result) i found it worthy to also replace the neck.
i still use it for rehearsal/backup. (i went Invader/59)

Best gift ever
I got this belt for my brother (a man who still thinks of snowboarding as a religion instead of a sport) nearly ten years ago for Christmas. He is still wearing and using it. He claims to this day that it was the best gift his little sister could've ever gotten him. So naturally I had to pick up another one.

Legal battle for Atlantis
Guardian News Editor
Published: Jan 13, 2012
A group of lenders who financed Kerzner International's $2.5 billion mortgage has filed legal action in the United States, in a bid to stop Brookfield Asset Management's takeover of Atlantis and the One&Only Ocean Club.
The lenders accuse the Canadian real estate conglomerate of "brazen self-dealing" in its announced debt-for-equity swap with the financially distressed Kerzner International.
Brookfield has agreed to exchange approximately $175 million of debt for the equity of Kerzner's Bahamian and Mexican assets. In return, Kerzner International will enter into a four-year contract to manage Atlantis.
But several other lenders allege in the complaint filed in a Delaware court that Brookfield – the most junior participant in the loan – has "negotiated a sweetheart deal" principally for its own benefit, without regard to the material risk to which it would expose other lenders, risks not contemplated by the original loan agreements.
Listed as the plaintiffs in the matter are Trilogy Portfolio Company, LLC; Value Realization Fund; Realization Master Fund and Canyon Balanced Master Fund Ltd.
They are seeking injunctive relief.
The lenders say that before it exits the loan, Brookfield intends to orchestrate an extension and restructuring of the mortgage loan in ways that would make it materially riskier for the more senior creditors who will remain.
"Although the Brookfield defendants attempt to justify their self-dealing by claiming that the underlying projects serving as primary collateral for the loan could not be sold, or the loan refinanced for an amount sufficient to pay off the balance of the loan in today's market, they intentionally downplay the fact that the Brookfield defendants are simultaneously positioning themselves to realize a profit several times the amount of the loan they are forgiving if the project turns around and appreciates in value over the coming years," the complaint says.
The court document says that from the time Kerzner's loan went into default last spring until or about December 8, 2011, the Brookfield defendants had been acting as 'special servicer', charged with a fiduciary duty to administer the loan for the benefit of all lenders and participants as a collective whole.
The court document also names Wells Fargo Bank as a defendant. The lenders accuse Brookfield of 'co-opting' Wells Fargo, which was only appointed special servicer of the loan on December 8, 2011.
Kerzner International Chairman Sir Sol Kerzner and Prime Minister Hubert Ingraham announced at the end of November that Brookfield was taking over ownership of Kerzner's Paradise Island properties, but the court document shows that those parties have been unable to close the deal and Kerzner sought extensions in this regard.
The lenders allege that Brookfield has declined to even discuss the proposed transaction with Kerzner International.
"With the clock ticking on a transaction that can close on a moment's notice, the plaintiffs seek by this action injunctive and declaratory relief to maintain the status quo by restraining [Brookfield] from proceeding and/or consummating the proposed Brookfield transaction preventing [the lenders] from forever losing their bargained for rights," the complaint says.
The initial maturity date of Kerzner's loan was September 9, 2008, at the same time that the 2007-2008 global financial crisis and the construction and 2008 opening of Atlantis Dubai severely restricted Kerzner's access to cash, the complaint points out.
As a result, Kerzner chose to exercise each of the three-year extension options granted by the loan agreement, extending the maturity date to September 9, 2011, the final maturity date.
Economic conditions improved little between 2008 and 2011, and as a result, Sol Kerzner and his companies have experienced severe difficulty servicing and repaying the multi-billion-dollar debt that they incurred, it notes.
"Upon information and belief, in the months leading up to the final maturity date, Kerzner International, with the help of its financial advisors, apparently pursued various options to refinance the loan, but all were unsuccessful," the complaint says.
"In the spring of 2011, rumors began to surface that Kerzner International was at risk of tripping a leverage covenant with respect to its own credit facilities. While such a default would not necessarily result in an event of default under the loan agreement, it was indicative of Kerzner International's financial distress."
When he announced the Atlantis ownership change in the House of Assembly on November 29, Prime Minister Ingraham suggested that this turn of events came about because the Christie administration allowed Kerzner to borrow against its Bahamian assets for international developments.
"The reality is Kerzner International in The Bahamas is a very profitable company," Ingraham said.
"It has nothing to do with whether Atlantis makes enough money. It has more than enough. It has more than $100 million in cash.
"It just happened to have too much debt piled up on top of it for all things that weren't done in The Bahamas and it did so with your (the Christie government's) blessing and support."
The lenders allege that the proposed Brookfield transaction "is a model of naked and shameless self-dealing, without even an attempt of benefiting the other participants".
They allege that the proposed Brookfield transaction would confer significant benefits upon Brookfield in flagrant violation of agreements in place, which specify that any property received in respect of the loans be held for the benefit of all lenders and then distributed in accordance with the priorities afforded the loan participants.
"Instead, under the proposed Brookfield transaction, the Brookfield defendants would receive 100 percent of the equity of the borrower, along with Kerzner International's interest in two other hotels, entitling them to reap all of any future appreciation in value," the complaint states.
"The Kerzner entities would also benefit from a release of their obligation under the Kerzner guarantees and lucrative management fees, which are fees the Brookfield defendants might also some day receive."
This latest development relating to the country's largest private employer and the ownership of the Paradise Island assets comes amid widespread concerns on the heels of the takeover announcement in November.
Both the Progressive Liberal Party and the Democratic National Alliance have recently upped demands for the government to make details of the ownership deal public.
Ingraham previously noted that the 8,000 direct jobs at Kerzner attract an annual payroll of approximately $189 million.
Each direct job at Kerzner creates an additional 1.25 to 1.5 indirect jobs in the economy – 10,000 to 12,000.
"In all therefore, some 18,000 to 20,000 jobs; 15 percent of all jobs in our economy, are related directly to the operations of Kerzner International in The Bahamas," Ingraham said in November.
He noted further that Kerzner adds tens of millions of dollars in contributions to the Bahamian economy as a result of its operations.
Ingraham said that on an annual basis Kerzner pays $190 million locally to purchase goods and services; $47 million to the Bahamas Electricity Corporation; $27 million on business licence fees inclusive of resort hotel license fees and licenses for joint venture timeshare and condominium operations, and $20 million in room tax.

All hail the Valor!: Carnival Valor Cruise Review by 3crazymutts
Overall Member Rating
All hail the Valor!
Destination: Western Caribbean
Embarkation: Miami
For starters, this was my third cruise and my husband's second. We were traveling with a couple, her second cruise, his first. I have previously sailed on the Sensation with said friend, and my husband and I have been on the Disney Wonder with the kids. This trip was for some adult fun without having to worry about the kids, or the expense of bringing them along. It was also for DH to see whether he would want to take the kids on a Carnival cruise. (he sort of became a snob after Disney). The answer was a resounding YES after day one on board, in fact we did book another for early next year with the whole family, and additionally purchased to future cruise certificates.
Embarkation was ok, but I expect crowds and chaos. The only thing I think Carnival could do better here is move the More kiosks away from the area where you pick up your sign and sail cards. The line for the cards was wrapping in front of kiosks and guests were getting confused. The Carnival lady was nice, but guests in line to use the kiosks had to cut through the line for the sign and sail cards. Overall, I think that is my only complaint of the whole trip.
The boat is beautiful, I love the American theme...it was why we chose this vessel. Staff kept it clean, we always saw somebody, somewhere cleaning. The staff was also courteous and friendly, but I always make it to a point to acknowledge them, whether it is a "good morning", "good evening" etc, or just a smile. These people work hard...the least guests can do is notice them and say hi. Lines were never an issue, but we tend to zig when others zag.
Ports and shore excursions were great. We did the Turtle Farm in Grand Cayman, Discover Scuba with Anthony's Key in Isla Roatan (Bisch, the instructor was great!) Snorkeling at Goff's Caye in Belize, ATV adventure in the morning at Cozumel and Fly High zip line in the afternoon. All the operators running the excursions were first rate, friendly and accommodating. While I forgot to tell the shore excursion desk this, my intent is to write Carnival a letter about our experiences. So often people only write negative and forget to share the positive. If you have a positive, SHARE IT!!! I don't want to hear negativity all the time...especially from people who generally have unrealistic expectations!
The last day at sea was nice...the drinks were strong! :) I highly recommend a "kiss on the lips"! It was a good time to just relax and enjoy our last day of vacation.
Debarkation was fine, we did the self debark. I believe we were off the boat by 8:10, and at the Fort Lauderdale airport by 8:45.
All in all, I think Carnival offers a good value for the dollar. We had a great time on this ship, as did our friends...including the first time cruiser with us that said it was the best trip he had ever had. Less
Published 05/08/10
Cabin review: 8d9234
Cabin 9234 - no issues, quiet, comfortable, spacious. Only issue, we put some decorations on our door (magnets) and somebody stole them. That isn't Carnival's fault. That is just stupid, ignorant people. If it doesn't belong to you DON'T TAKE IT.
Port and Shore Excursions
The line to get back on the ship was LONG. Most waiting were friendly, but you always have the few whiners you would like to slap. I mean really?

Chirita subrhomboidea
Photo by Ron Myhr
Grown by Ron Myhr
Although a period of cold semi-dormancy is typical of its natural habitat, this plant was grown on a sunny east windowsill, blooming in mid-winter. Under the more natural conditions, spring can bring an incredible flush of bloom. A closeup of a flower on the plant illustrates its elegant proportions and interesting color combinations, as does a flower cluster shown here.
There is a possibility that this particular plant is a natural or artificial hybrid -- it does not readily produce seed, and differs somewhat from other photos we've seen of this species (e.g. the photo linked to "flush of bloom" above.

Dermis is the major source of the fluorescence and light scattering of skin. Tumor-induced degradation of the dermis is expected to change the fluorescence and light scattering properties of skin. To investigate how these fluorescence and light scattering properties are changed, human skin dermis was degraded with enzymes to mimic tumor invasion. The enzymatic erosion process was investigated with fluorescence and reflectance spectroscopy. Dermis degradation by the enzymes resulted in a decrease in fluorescence emission and light scattering in the dermis. Fluorescence anisotropy, however, could not detect the change in the dermis induced by the enzyme treatments.

It's time to reveal the nicknames I've given the guys. This is something I actually learned in Orlando. Those guys did it so I just carried that over here and everybody gets a kick out of it. It's a fun way to play around with guys.
Jamaal Tinsley is either Kirk Franklin the singer, or Gary Brackett, linebacker for the Colts
Kareem Rush is Wayne Brady, Brian McKnight or Michael Cage he doesn't like that one, though, because of the hair.
Andre Owens is Ralphie because we say he looks like a dog and Ralphie's a common dog name.
Danny is Hollywood by the way he dresses and pretty much his fashion sense. He thinks he's Hollywood.
Mike Dunleavy is Steve Novak of the Houston Rockets, who I played with in college. They look identical.
David Harrison is Sinbad or Lenny Kravitz.
Ike Diogu is Sean Kingston, the rapper/musician.
Marquis Daniels is Devin Hester or Flava flav.
And Stephen Graham looks like Joey Graham.
I don't have one a good one for Jeff or for Murph, either. And I really don't have one for Flip because he's new to the team. Some of these nicknames can get personal. And as you can see, some aren't the best of nicknames. Once Flip gets acclimated to the team a little bit more he's going to get one. It can take awhile. I haven't come up with one for Jeff or Troy yet and Stephen is just his brother. And I don't have one for Shawne Williams.
They have some nicknames for me, too, but too many to really list. They've called me everybody from Peyton Manning to Eli Manning to every quarterback, every musician, every white basketball player. I hear Dennis the Menace from Jamaal, but that's more because I play jokes on the guys.

An outstanding cast creates magic in Peter and the Starcatcher, making its Broadway transfer to the Brooks Atkinson Theatre. Originally produced by the New York Theatre Workshop at their downtown theatre—a vital presence on the 4th Street Arts Block that also includes La Mama E.T.C., Horse Trade Theater Group and others—directors Roger Rees and Alex Timbers have wisely preserved most of the cast and creative team that made the show an off-Broadway hit.
Rick Elice's script, adapted from the novel by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson, is an imagined prequel to the Peter Pan story. In it, we learn just how the Pan we know came to rule Neverland, how Captain Hook lost his hand, how the crocodile got its tick-tock, and in an inspired bit of staging, how Tinkerbell came to flit across our collective consciousness. The play dances around themes of self-discovery, bravery, and most importantly, the moment when we grow up, but the play also asks the audience to leave the analyzing for another time and to just enjoy being a part of the fun. While appropriate for children, this play is mostly for adults who want to enjoy a bit of stress-free entertainment. Filled with double entendres, self-referential winks to the audience, and jokes about paying for parking and a babysitter, there is no doubt that this show is primarily for the grown-ups. This is Children's Theatre for Adults.
The adventure begins on two separate ships, each carrying an identical trunk. One of the trunks is filled with the mysterious and powerful "Star Stuff," and has attracted the attention of a band of pirates. One of the ships is also carrying a group of orphans who have been sold into slavery, as well as young Molly Aster, the precocious daughter of Lord Aster and Starcatcher in Training. Lord Aster has charged young Molly with protecting the Star Stuff, and she will not let anything, especially the strange new feelings stirring for a nameless orphan Boy, get in the way of her mission.
The first half of the show focuses on the sea journey. The cast of 12 adults all play multiple roles, filling out the crew of both ships as well as narrating a large amount of exposition. They create the two ships before our eyes by manipulating a rope, a ladder and other found objects, layering in a wonderful illusion of children at play. In turn, each actor steps forward to fill in their part of the story. This spontaneity is one of the delights of the production, and the commitment to this illusion by the actors and creative team is main reason the play works.
Almost no color appears on stage during the first act, expressing the bleakness of the world the orphans live in. One of the most striking moments of the first act is the bold staging and harsh lighting, designed by Jeff Croiter, when the nameless Boy remembers the brutal orphanage. The costumes, designed by Paloma Young, reinforce the oppression by staying almost entirely in shades of grey. It isn't until the second act, when we arrive on a strange island, that the world becomes vivid. Jeff Croiter's lighting becomes lush and the colors saturated. The set, designed by Donyale Werle, goes from black to stylized greens, blues and yellows in abstract shapes and softer textures. The costumes take a turn for the zany, beginning with an opening number in which technicolor mermaids do a kick-line in bikini tops cobbled together from kitchen utensils. It's a clear signal that we've left the world where the orphans are ruthlessly abused by adults and have landed somewhere that has new rules waiting to be made up as we go along.
The magic just wouldn't fly, though, without the excellent performances by a deeply committed cast led by Christian Borle as the dastardly pirate, Black Stache. Nowhere is the sense of play more evident than in his interpretation of the villain who, it is fairly obvious from early on, will become Captain Hook. Wonderfully, and somewhat counter-intuitively, Borle's Black Stache quickly establishes himself as the story's care-taker. Like the bossy child in a game of make-believe, it is Black Stache who keeps the story moving in the right direction when it comes close to veering off track. There is never any real threat behind his bluster. In fact, there are a number of times a true cut-throat would have simply dispatched his captives, but then the story would be over. Instead, Black Stache does what he needs to do to continue the game, letting us know just how much he loves and even needs to play the villain. Borle captures this hubris in endlessly inventive variations, bringing joy to every moment and attacking the role with an energy that leaves nothing in reserve.
Celia Keenan-Bolger has created a new classic in the role of Molly Aster. Her excellent performance is deeply rooted in a sense of exploration of the world around her and of the young girl's rapidly changing inner life. She is the moral compass of the play, and Celia Keenan-Bolger finds the vulnerability in Molly's attempts at sure-footedness, which allows her to become so endearing to the audience and to the orphan boys. As the unnamed Boy, Adam Chanler-Berat lets the character we soon recognize as Peter Pan emerge slowly throughout the course of the play, building an excellent performance with subtlety. The supporting cast displays a marvelous virtuosity, especially Arnie Burton as Mrs. Bumbrake and Greg Hildreth as Alf, who form a sweet pair of lovers, and David Rossmer and Carson Elrod as Ted and Prentiss, orphan boys whose forthright objectives embody the simplicity of youth.
The ensemble is remarkably strong, however it did bother me that the cast was made up of almost entirely white males, especially when there is no reason it couldn't have been more diverse. Without taking anything away from the wonderful performance given by Arnie Burton, I question the choice to cast a male in what is clearly a female role at a time when women are so under-represented in the theatre community. The understudy for Mrs. Bumbrake is a woman, proving there is no intrinsic artistic foundation for the drag. It also nagged at me that a lot of the humor relied on fey posturing that, though delivered with impeccable timing and a good natured spirit, seemed as outdated to me as cracking jokes about Charles Nelson Reilly's ascot on a game show from 1975. I was in the minority, and most people were rolling in the aisles.
A fair amount of prior knowledge of the classic Peter Pan story is assumed by the creative team, though I doubt there will be many people who won't get the copious, clever references to the source material or that, if somehow there is someone in the audience who doesn't already know about Peter and his Lost Boys, their enjoyment would be lessened in any way. The Starcatcher plotline holds together on its own, and is enhanced by its connection to a larger story without being dependent on it. Transferring from a smaller stage to a larger one can be difficult, and for the most part Peter and the Starcatcher is very successful. There were, however, a few key moments that couldn't be seen from my seat in the side section, so try to get a center or balcony seat. The play is not overly intellectual or challenging, though I doubt it is supposed to be. It is a good natured piece of theatre, made an enjoyable experience by a high level of talent, creative vision and craft.

Just Approved: Veteran clears red tape, buys multi-family residence
Published 3:34 pm, Friday, February 14, 2014
Mortgage adviser: Bob Gerson
Property type: Three unit multi family home in San Francisco
Appraised value: $953,000
Purchase price: $940,000
Borrowing amount: $962,500, loan-to-value ratio 1.02 percent
Loan: V.A. jumbo 30-year fixed
Rate: 4 percent - .10 percent cost in points - Lock 60 days
Backstory: A Realtor needed Gerson's assistance in procuring a purchase loan for her client, who was living in Los Angeles at the time but wanted to move to San Francisco, where his company was located. The buyer was traveling to the Bay Area on a weekly basis and was tired of the commute. Since he was a veteran and was in the reserves for more than six years, he was able to qualify for a no down payment loan using his full entitlement, and avoid any mortgage insurance or a second loan.
The property had an add-on living unit that had all the necessary permits and plans completed by the current owner. However, the appraiser did not give any value to the unit and declined to provide any assurance it could be legally rebuilt if it burned down.

The appraiser's wife was an attorney and was doing all the communication with the bank and Gerson's company.
When it came time to try and fund the loan, Gerson had to scramble down to the planning department with the Realtor to get this replacement letter.
Usually this takes about two weeks, but fortunately they were able to get this in a timely matter and close escrow.
All Veterans Affairs loans require the termite reports to be cleared as well, and this was accomplished, too.
