|Jacob Watson II
|(no known picture)
| c. 1794
Edgefield District, South Carolina
| after July 22, 1864
probably in Clinch County, Georgia
|Jacob Watson
|Mary Pugh
| August 17, 1819
in Dublin, Laurens County, Georgia
Jacob Watson II was the son of Jacob Watson I and was born in South Carolina's Edgefield District. Around 1810, he and his father and brother Orendatus Watson moved into Georgia. Jacob wound up in Pulaski County, but his father is said to have moved on to Tennessee. From his biography, he served during the War of 1812 as a Lieutenant under one Captain R. E. Thomas. The biography states that he served at Ft. Mitchell from November 22, 1814 to November 9, 1817. Ft. Mitchell was built in 1812 along the Ocmulgee River in Pulaski Co. to protect local citizens from Creek Indians encouraged by the British (not to be confused with the better known Ft. Mitchell in Russell County, Alabama). The fort therefore served as part of the American defenses of the Creek War, considered by many historians to be a part of the War of 1812 because of the British influence. Jacob's service actually started after the August 9, 1814 signing of the Treaty of Ft. Jackson, which officially ended the war. Apparently the treaty did not end the need for protection from local Indians. In fact, the last Indian skirmish in Georgia, known as the Battle of Breakfast Branch, occurred on March 18, 1818 in Telfair Co. Ironically, Jacob's son would marry the daughter of a participant in that skirmish.
After his military service ended, he became involved in local politics, serving as an original commissioner of Hawkinsville after its incorporation in 1830. He married Mary Pugh in Dublin in 1819 and became the guardian of one Francis Pugh's children shortly thereafter. By 1850, he had moved to Houston Co. and then moved south to Clinch Co. He probably died there in the mid 1860s, after transporting his injured son home from Hawkinsville during the Civil War (following the Battle of Atlanta on July 22, 1864). His death may have occurred around 1866, when his son Jacob moved back to Hawkinsville. His widow Mary would move back as well.

Hairspray Put a Firm Hold on the Miracle Theatre Last Night
Then he started singing, and it was all over. As he threw his smoky, rich voice to roll perfectly over every note of his romantic rock song, "It Takes Two," we pretended he was directing his studly sweaty gaze directly at us. Just kidding. Kind of.
Her first song went over well, if not very memorably. But during her second song, "I Know Where I've Been," the actress unleashed her breathtaking instrument, bellowing with beauty and conviction in a performance that brought several members of the audience to their feet, though the show was far from over.
Few things have made us laugh harder than watching Arisco dance and sing a duet with Hoffman, the diminutive, jolly actor who played husband Wilbur. Hoffman was so comparatively small, he looked as though he could ride around quite comfortably on one of Arisco's giant house slippers. And yet, dare we say, the two had an utterly mesmerizing chemistry as they embraced and melodiously assured each other, "You're Timeless to Me." Weird, hilarious, and captivating, all at once.
And the endless parade of bubblegum-colored outfits the cast bounced, shucked, and jived around in was dazzling. Edna cast a huge shadow in her immense amorphous housedresses; resident evil mother-daughter duo Velma (Kim Cozort) and Amber Von Tussle (Celia Louise Merendi) lit up the scene in pukey, puffy, metallic-swirled chartreuse gowns.
Motormouth Maybelle's gold polyester pantsuit was nearly as loud as her powerful pipes; and Wilbur Turnblad's artistically awful high-water pants, polka-dot shirts, and over-sized corsages, all worn with adorably ignorant confidence, made for an eye-tickling kaleidoscope of polyester that deserved its own standing ovation. Props to costume designer Ellis Tillman.

Family Association
Welcome Parents!
Family Association (FA) builds connections among parents, supports the faculty and staff and is an active part of the school community. FA thoughtfully plans opportunities for parents to connect and share. We build community by coming together for parent service activities, trips and local off-campus activities, parent education, and social gatherings. Our fall Carnival and Spring Fling events are among our favorite annual celebrations.
One of the hallmarks of our school is the commitment that parents make to getting involved. All CHS parents are automatically members of the Family Association. Our hope is that the broad range of volunteer opportunities will provide you with meaningful, fun and rewarding ways to meet other families, observe the day-to-day atmosphere of the school, and contribute to our community. Your participation as a volunteer in school events not only helps the school, but also greatly enriches your child's experience at CHS.
We recognize that the amount of time that parents are able to commit to volunteer activities varies. Whether you are available on a one-time or ongoing basis, your involvement is welcomed and appreciated. CHS would not be the same without the dedicated contribution of our family.

Aaron Rodgers will have to rest on his MVP credentials Sunday because the Packers aren't willing to expose him to risk in a game that has zero playoff implications for them.
Rodgers is inactive today vs. the Lions, and backup Matt Flynn will make his second career start. It could serve as a welcome opportunity for Flynn to showcase his skills as he is ticketed for free agency in a few months and could be the 2012 version of Kevin Kolb -- intriguing potential, scant body of professional work.
Flynn stepped in for concussed Rodgers in 2010 and nearly led Green Bay to an upset win at New England, passing for 251 yards and three TDs in a 31-27 loss.
Elsewhere, Eagles RB LeSean McCoy (ankle) is inactive, meaning Maurice Jones-Drew just lost his main competitor for the 2011 rushing title.
Other notable Sunday inactives: Texans RB Arian Foster, Saints S Malcolm Jenkins, Panthers DE Charles Johnson, Texans CB Johnathan Joseph, Saints MLB Jonathan Vilma.
Nate Davis is a reporter, blogger and editor who's been at USA TODAY since 2000. He has covered the NFL since 2005. No, he did not play quarterback for Ball State. Davis' succession of our esteemed colleague Sean Leahy at The Huddle is considered a Brady-for-Bledsoe swap by most "insiders."More about Nate

My first review (I plan to make one for AC3 BTW) that I've made outside of my head. This will be a review of Assassin's Creed: Revelations, so prepare to read stuff.
If you want to know what the fuck's happening, you'll have to play Brotherhood first; read at your own peril. In Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, we saw Desmond and co. acquire an Apple of Eden. Suddenly, Desmond's physical form was taking over by Juno, a Goddess-like being that came from the race that created Humanity itself, and was forced to stab his ally, Lucy Stillman. Desmond went under a great deal of trauma, and fell into a coma after further exploring the memories of Ezio Auditore, his Italian ancestor.
Desmond's Story
Desmond was put into the Black Room, a sort of "backdoor" in the Animus programming, in order to stay among the living. It is in the "Animus Island" where he encounters the only "man" able to save him: Subject 16, AKA Clay Kaczmarek. He explains that Desmond must finish the memories of his ancestors: Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad, and Ezio Auditore da Firenze. Doing so will allow the Animus to separate them from Desmond, thus freeing him from his coma.
He also has the ability to view his own memories, going into detail about his former life as an Assassin-to-be, and his escape to New York.
Conclusion: 4/10 It's kind of bland and boring, they are many questions still unanswered, like: "who's Eve?". And the Lost Archive has more "Revelations" quite frankly.
Ezio's Story
Ezio is the main protagonist of the game, and thus his life takes up the majority of the game. After almost a year of travelling, Ezio finally arrives at Masyaf, the ancient headquarters of the Assassin's, in order to gain knowledge about his order. After about two minutes in Masyaf, he is attacked by a large group of Byzantine Templars; eventually Ezio was defeated and brought to the captain for his execution.
Ezio escapes and kills the captain, finding a journal written by Niccolo Polo himself. The journal explains that five Keys are needed to open Altaïr's Library, a "sanctum full of invaluable wisdom". These Keys are all hidden in Constantinople. It is up to Ezio to find these Keys before the Templars, and open up Altaïr's Library.
Conclusion: 8/10 I love Ezio (no homo), but even I have to admit, they changed him a bit too much this time, and the face, HORRIBLE! But his story is good and offers many surprises and exciting moments that are sure to please you.
Altaïr's Story
Altaïr sadly has only a small part in the game, but it goes into detail about his life; detail you could only find in Assassin's Creed: The Secret Crusade. And who likes reading books? NO-ONE! Most of his story is kind of boring, but who cares? If you liked Altaïr, you will enjoy playing as him once again.
Conclusion: 6/10 I like Altaïr, but these memories are just too short, and they're aren't enough. I really wanted a free-roam option as well.
The gameplay is roughly similar to Brotherhood's, but with some new features.
Combat is basically a copy-paste of Brotherhood, you can still dual-wield the knives and dagger, and the sword and Gun. The Hookblade has a plethora of unique combat animations, and they're awesome, too! The sword has six new animations, and they are kind of bland honestly. And there are no new moves for anything else, nope. Kind of silly in my opinion.
Conclusion: 8/10 I always enjoyed the combat in AC, ACR was just as good.
Ah, the Hookblade. My favourite addition, though it has it's good points and bad. Like I said earlier, it has loads of awesome animations which will make Ezio look epic. It also has the ability to allow you to climb up buildings a lot faster. In AC2, it would take you about three minutes to climb the highest tower; with the Hookblade it would go along much faster. Ziplines are usable with the Hookblade, BUT these are hardly perfect. They rarely go the same way you want to, and they're quite hard to come by sometimes. And you can hook and throw enemies around, hook and run to get past them, and you can counter-steal money away from people, and that pisses them off quite a bit. Most annoying of all is the fact that you CANNOT swap back to the good old Hidden Blade, so you can stab someone with a blunt hook. Me and -S- discussed this a while back, and we both agree: that's just really stupid.
Conclusion: 7/10 I like it, but I'm glad it won't be in AC3.
Den Defense
Ah, some people really hate this, some people enjoy it. Me, I rarely experience it, I always deal with my notoriety, and all my Dens have Master Assassins to protect them.
After capturing a Den, the Templars will want it back, so they will launch a small seige on your Den, and it's up to you to defeat them.
This requires tactical thought (which may explain the hate on this, am I right?), posting barricades to slow the Templars down and Assassins to kill them. You have many barricades and Assassins to choose from, so you can work out the best combinations.
Conclusion: 5/10 I haven't experienced it a lot, but I remember not really enjoying it; but I do like the idea.
This new feature is interesting, it allows you to "mix 'n match" your own bombs. I admit, it can be quite annoying having to consider so many options; and you may find other ways of finishing a memory before Bombs even came into your mind. You have a pouch (with a maximum of 5 bombs each) for: Lethal, guess what? They're for killing. Diversion, they're for distracting guards. And Tactical, these bombs are used for stunning and slowing down guards.
Conclusion: 8/10 I really like the bombs, but they seem a bit redundant to be honest.
Desmond's Journey
An addition which no-one really liked, and I'm not surprised at that. I mean, a first-person "place a block here" kind of thing is stupid. This feature requires thought on how to progress through the levels, which I've got to say are quite challenging to complete. The main plot with this is that Desmond has to confront his past and accept his role as an Assassin, as well as fulfilling his destiny to save the world from the solar flare.
3/10 I hate this, I really do. I mean, it just gets so boring and slow. I was also disappointed that the Lost Archive followed this style.
The graphics in Revelations are beautiful, they really are. From Ezio's robes to Turkish harbours, the graphics will surprise you.
Conclusion: 10/10 I am amazed with the graphics, I mean it. These beat previous installments' graphics by a mile. AC3 will have a hard time beating these graphics.
The game is set primarily in Constantinople, "the crossroads of the world". Alongside this are Cappadocia, an underground maze filled with Byzantines, and Masyaf, the Assassins' paradise.
Conclusion: 7/10 I think that while these settings are good, they get boring really easily, and I still think that there should be more cities to explore.
Assassin's Creed is well known for it's brilliant soundtracks, and Assassin's Creed: Revelations is no exception. However, I feel that some of the soundtracks are too similar to each other. But the soundtrack is still able to impress.
Conclusion: 9/10 I am impressed by the soundtrack, but it is nothing compared to AC2's "Earth" track alone.
Like previous installments, ACR has many characters, here are short reviews on some of them.
Ezio Auditore da Firenze
Ezio Auditore. I always liked this character, especially in AC2. Revelations, well it changed him too much. I mean, they messed up his face, he's willing to put innocent lives at risk. And for some reason his voice is deeper. At least he retains his boyish charm and his determination to never give up.
Conclusion: 7/10 I would give him higher, but the face and other random changes taint him I'm sorry to say.
Sofia Sartor
Okay, my views on her are mixed. I like the character because she is the main thing that convinces Ezio to settle down in peace. However, they is very little "romance" in the game, just a picnic; and I really hate her voice, it ranks number one on my list of "Worst AC Accents".
Conclusion: 7/10 What more do I have to add?
Yusuf Tazim
Yusuf is a really good character. He's funny, cracks a joke in the face of danger; if you have a friend like him in real life, you're lucky. His death, however, was rather unnecessary. I mean we didn't know him long enough to form any attachment to him.
8/10 Nothing more to add here.
Prince Suleiman
This guy is...well, I don't really have much of an opinion. I didn't really find much of a personality to be honest. I wasted oppurtunity, I feel.
5/10 This guy should have been expanded on a bit more.
Tarik Barleti
I like Tarik. He's a fighter, has a sense of honour, and is unafraid to show his opinion. These are qualities I admire. However, like many characters, he needs more expansion.
7/10 He makes an entertaining boss fight. But 100% sync ruins it...
Prince Ahmet
Manuel Palaiologos
Full Conclusion
In my opinion this game gets a 7/10. It offers many new features, but sadly some of the features fall flat. But overall the game makes up for it and lives up to it's predecessors' standards. If you have been following Assassin's Creed until this point, you must play this game to see the end of Altaïr. And I recommend watching Embers after finishing the game, to see Ezio's final hours.

Rio closes Latin America's biggest dump
Latin America's largest landfill has been closed after 34 years, just days before Rio de Janeiro hosts a major UN conference on sustainable development.
Rio mayor Eduardo Paes and environment minister Izabella Teixeira closed the entrance to Jardim Gramacho, a seaside mountain of malodorous trash where 8,000 tonnes of waste were processed every day.
"From now on, Rio will no longer accept environmental crimes like Gramacho was for over 30 years," Mr Paes said.
The sprawling dump of approximately 140 hectares was considered a major environmental threat to Rio's Guanabara Bay, due to leaks caused by poor waste management.
Its closure was agreed in 2004, but the decision was postponed several times until a deal was reached to do it ahead of the Rio+20 United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development set for June 20-22.
At least 100 global leaders and 50,000 participants from around the world are expected for the summit, which aims to outline a path towards a "green" and social economy that can balance economic growth, poverty eradication and environmental protection.
About 1,600 people who made a living from sorting through the debris by hand, known as "catadores," will receive compensation from the city.
"This is a breakthrough for the environment and the country," Ms Teixeira said.
"We will use this as a model to close all landfills (that damage the ecosystem)."
The waste at Gramacho is due to be transferred to another landfill run by a private company.
At the Gramacho site, a biogas plant will be launched to reduce methane emissions in the atmosphere.
