Albrecht Deibler Story
1726-1776 — Wiconisco Valley, Pennsylvania
Albrecht Deibler was an early settler of the Lykens Valley in present-day Dauphin County, Pennsylvania. He purchased property in 1773 when the area was still using the name of Upper Paxton or Wiconisco Valley in Lancaster County. Today the land he owned is in Lykens Township just east of the border with Mifflin Township, Dauphin, Pennsylvania, adjacent to brother Matthias Deibler and his father Michael Divler. It is probable that they moved to the area before they obtained the property. Tax lists published for the years 1769, 1770, and 1775 assess him in the area as early as 1769.
He brought his wife Anna Catharine Shupp and their young children to the area and started to clear the land and farm. He is listed on the Lancaster County Warrant Register as Albrecht Deibler (see link).
Life was difficult and made more challenging by the oppressive rule of England after the French and Indian War and other violent skermishes with the Indians. Abrecht decided to join Colonel James Burd's Fourth Regiment of the Lancaster County Militia 14 March 1776 and was Captain of a Company that included several of his neighbors, including his two brothers Michael and Matthias.
The transcription below is from the images of both the Pennsylvania Archive Series VII, page 347 and the Muster Roll of Captain Albright Deibler Company given in Kelker, Luther Reily,. History of Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, with genealogical memoirs. New York Chicago: Lewis Pub. Co., 1907. Volume 2, Pages 878-879 that are attached.
Captain Albright Deibler's Company, Fourth Battalion of Pennsylvania Militia Volunteers, commanded by Col. James Burd, Esq. March 14, 1776
[The Company of Captain Deibler was in active service for nearly a year, returning home in January 1777. A portion of the command was captured at the battle of Long Island, and were not released until the year 1778. During that and the following year, the company was commanded by Capt. John Hoffman, and under him they were on the frontiers, protecting the defenceless inhabitants from the encroachments of the Indians and Tories, who had their headquarters in Southern New York, and against whom Gen. Sullivan's army was successfully sent in 1779.]

It was supposed by many, including myself, that Albrecht Deibler had been killed or taken prisoner at the Battle of Long Island in August 1776, since he never returned home. However, further examination of the document from the Pennsylvania Archive, page 353, bring new facts to light that indicate a different conclusion. Since the gun, powder and horn lost were listed as belonging to Albright Diveler and not another soldier who had taken ownership after he died in August, it is reasonable to assume he was alive in November before the battle. Since his wife is listed as Widow Diveler, it can be implied that he died either on the date of the battle or soon thereafter, especially since when she received the letter of administration on 9 June 1777 as a widow, she had already married her second husband Benjamin Buffington when she returned to the court to give an accounting and provide for the welfare of her minor children on 11 November 1777.
Extracted from a second source of the list of equipment losses in Kelker, Luther Reily,. History of Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, with genealogical memoirs. New York Chicago: Lewis Pub. Co., 1907. Volume 2 Pages 881-882:
I do hereby certify that the Losses herein mentioned were sustained on the 16th Novr., 1776, at the Reduction of Fort Washington. Given under my hand this 8th Day of August, 1777. /s/ James Cowden, Capt.
Belonging to Captain Murray's Com.
Soldier name: Albright Diveler
Guns (£-s-d): 5-5-0
Pouches & Horns (£-s-d): 0-7-6
Widow Diveler to repair of George Coopers gun: 60

Since there is no known location for the burial of Captain Albright Deibler, the Find A Grave memorial for him was placed in the Virtual Cemetery created for the Prison Ship Monument errected to honor Revolutionary soldiers and civilians who died aboard these ships. The description from the Find A Grave page for this memorial is quoted:
"The memorial pays tribute to the soldiers and civilians who perished aboard the British Prison Ships that docked in New York Harbor during the Revolutionary War. The crypt contains the remains of more than 11,000 American patriots.
"Long after the war ended, the bones of the dead, who had been buried in shallow graves along the East River, washed up on the shores of Brooklyn. Residents collected them and eventually created an initial memorial in the early 19th century at the Brooklyn Navy Yard for those who perished aboard the prison ships."
Since Albrecht fought and died alongside those honored, and may have been one of those 11,000 bodies buried in a shallow grave along the East River, I felt it was appropriate to add his memorial to this site. Find A Grave memorial # 88338830 (see link)
Albrecht and Catharine had six children (multiple variations for all surnames):
1. Catharina "Kitty", wife of George Bellis (Bealis)
2. Susanna, wife of Johan Christian Hoffman
3. Daniel, husband of Anna Maria Fissel
4. Christina, wife of John Hoffman
5. Mary Magdelena "Molly", wife of Andrew Harter
6. George, husband of Barbara Garman

TIJANE Reis and Troy Archibald-Henville both enjoyed gametime as Swindon Town were beaten 3-2 by Birmingham City in a development XI match this afternoon.
George Barker got his Swindon career off to a good start with Town's second goal of the game after Yaser Kasim had earlier put the Robins into the lead, but Birmingham proved too strong in the end.
It was the inclusion of defender Archibald-Henville and winger Reis that will provide most encouragement to manager Mark Cooper and Town fans, however, as the pair near a full recovery from knee surgery.

USDA's National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) has completed phase I of the National Animal Health Monitoring System (NAHMS) focused on swine, is now entering phase II, and organizers need pork producers' help.
The names of who have participated in phase I, have been turned over to USDA's Veterinary Services. "Those producers can expect to be contacted this fall beginning now," says Eric Bush, veterinary epidemiologist with USDA NAHMS.
Producers will be invited to participate in Phase II, which involves completing a 45-minute phone interview on swine health and management. "We depend on the collaboration of hundreds of people, not the least of which will be the selected producers that agree to participate this fall," Bush adds.
"I wholeheartedly encourage any producer who can participate in the NAHMS Swine 2012 study to do so," says Jim Niewold, Illinois pork producer.
All individual information will remain confidential. The data will be compiled to provide an industry overview.
"Producers also have the opportunity to sign up for free testing, including testing a grain sample for particle size analysis, testing blood from sows or finishers for porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome, and/or testing fecal samples for Salmonella," Bush explains.
All of the individual test results from feed, blood, and/or feces samples will be returned to the producer.
Known as the NAHMS Swine 2012 Study, this year's effort marks the fifth national swine study conducted since 1990. "It will be exciting to look at the changes in the national estimates regarding health, management and productivity for almost 25 years of pork production," Bush told Pork Network.
The information collected through the NAHMS swine study aids the industry in numerous ways. For example, the National Pork Board (NPB) and National Pork Producers Council (NPPC) will use the data to identify producer research and education needs, as well as facilitate trade and inform policy debates with science-based information.
"People throughout the food chain and around the world want to know about pork production in the United States," Bush notes. "NAHMS helps to tell that story from an objective vantage point with science-based methods to generate a national picture."

Formed in 1960, LCHS has since been dedicated to matching families with homeless pets and educating the community about responsible pet ownership, including spaying and neutering. Each year, LCHS adopts out more than 500 pets and provides spay/neuter assistance for many more. Our dedicated Board of Directors, advisors, staff, and over 300 volunteers work tirelessly to socialize and provide companionship to all of our animals.
The Leon County Humane Society (LCHS) is a 501(c)3 non-profit, private organization, supported by individuals and businesses in our community and strong partnerships with other animal service organizations and animal welfare alliances.
We are not affiliated with or funded by any national humane groups or governmental agencies and must rely on donations to bring our services to the community.
Our Mission
-To relieve animal suffering
-To prevent animal cruelty
-To eliminate overpopulation of animals
-To promote humane education
-To enhance the human/animal bond
The Leon County Humane Society is Tallahassee's largest no kill, non-profit animal welfare organization dedicated to saving Tallahassee's homeless pets by educating our community about responsible pet ownership and reducing pet overpopulation through programs like Spay/Neuter, Rescue Ride, and Friends Fur Life. Because we are a no-kill organization, we are also a "limited intake" shelter.
The Leon County Humane Society works closely with other animal welfare agencies in the community and transfers animals in from other shelters that euthanize for space, including the Tallahassee Leon Community Animal Services Center (City Shelter). We do not take animals in from the public.
Once an animal is accepted in our foster and adoption program they are not euthanized for space reasons. Unless there are medical or behavioral issues that develop, deeming an animal un-adoptable, a cat or dog will stay in our adoption program until they find their forever home.
Tallahassee is an APSCA Partnership Community, and LCHS is thrilled to be one of the organizations included in this innovative program. Over the next 3-5 years, the Partnership organizations and ASPCA will be working together to reduce the homeless pet population in Tallahassee and provide much needed resources for the pets in our area
Our process:
Adopting a companion animal from LCHS involves a few simple steps...
View our adoptable animals, and select the pet(s) you are interested in adopting.
Talk to the animal(s) foster parent: Give our office a call at 224-9193 and talk with one of our adoption counselors. They will put you in touch with the animal(s)' foster parent.
Some foster parents prefer to be contacted directly. If that is the case, the pet's profile will have a link to directly email their foster parent.
Fill out an adoption questionnaire.
If both you and the foster parent feel that it is a good match, make an appointment to do the adoption paperwork at our office.
Have a home visit completed by an LCHS representative.
We believe in making the best match between pet and person, so our requirements tend to be based on the needs of the animal.
Thank You!
Your message has been sent to Leon County Humane Society.
You'll receive a copy, too, at to help you keep track of which pets you've inquired about, and which shelters and rescues you've emailed.
NOTE: Some shelters have physical locations you can visit; some of these shelters may only have pets for a limited time, so please do not wait for a reply—just go visit the shelter! Other organizations are rescue groups run by busy volunteers who may take a while to reply. You can find information about the shelter or rescue group caring for this pet, and their adoption procedures, on the pet's details page on Adopt-a-Pet.com.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) -- An Army staff sergeant suspected of killing 16 Afghans was cited for possessing alcohol on the beach in Florida 14 years ago.
A worker in the Volusia County Clerk of Courts office said Monday that Robert Bales was given the $65 citation in March 1998 at Daytona Beach.
Bales had 30 days to pay the citation or fight it in court. He did neither, and a warrant was put out for his arrest.
But officials say the warrant expired in August 2003. The case was dropped in March 2006 because of a lack of action in the case.
Bales has not been charged in the March 11 shootings although charges are expected to be filed within a week.

TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) -- Toledo Mayor Mike Bell says he'll run for a second term this year.
Bell made the announcement Monday while delivering his state of the city address.
He won the office in 2009. He was a registered Democrat but ran as an independent.
Bell took a political gamble two years ago by backing Republican Gov. John Kasich's (KAY'-siks) push to limit collective bargaining for public workers. Bell's decision didn't sit well with labor leaders in Toledo, a town heavily influenced by unions.
Bell was a fire chief there for 17 years before becoming state fire marshal in 2007.
He grew up in the state's fourth-largest city and played football at the University of Toledo.
Several Toledo Democrats are considering a run for mayor but have not made a final decision.

7 ways to straighten your boomerang child
March 30, 2012
Blame the economy. And get the spare bedroom ready.
The recent wave of young adults returning to live with their parents has spawned the term "boomerang generation," named for the object that turns after you throw it and sails back to you -- a painful event if you weren't expecting it. Similarly, if you've recently found your grown children asking to move back in, you may be experiencing pains of your own.
Naturally, most parents are more than willing to make sacrifices for their children, and will make accommodations for them when they are in need. However, when young adults return home, it shouldn't be to experience a second childhood. Parents need a game plan to make the arrangement bearable, get the kids on track to move back out, and most of all, help them finally achieve financial and social independence.
In other words, parents need a plan for straightening their boomerangs.
About the boomerang trend
According to a recent study by the Pew Research Center, 29 percent of young adults (ages 25 to 34) have lived with their parents at some point in recent years. As of 2010, 21.6 percent of that age group was living in a multi-generational household -- which typically meant living with their parents.
High unemployment is one reason, but there is more to the trend than that. The percentage of young adults living in multi-generational households has been steadily rising since 1980. Back then, this percentage bottomed out at 11.0 percent, and remained well below today's levels during the early 1980s, even though the unemployment situation back then was even worse than it has been in recent years.
Also, while the trend slowed during the economic boom of the 1990s, the percentage of young adults in multi-generational households continued to rise. The rate of increase has accelerated again as the economy worsened in recent years.
In other words, while the Great Recession may have exacerbated the situation, a long-term trend toward this kind of living arrangement has persisted through multiple economic cycles.
Seven ways to straighten a boomerang
Whatever the reason young adults have for moving back home, some parents may welcome it, while others may view it as a necessary evil. However, in no case should it be an excuse for the younger generation to lapse into adolescence. So, to help make the living arrangements bearable, to keep the kids focused on moving back out, and to help them develop a stronger sense of independence, here are seven tips for straightening out the boomerang generation:
- Come up with some kind of rent arrangement. Naturally, this should be on more favorable terms than it would be out in the cold, cruel world of landlords, but the young adult should not be absolved of financial responsibility. With so many older Americans behind on their retirement savings, this extra income might come in handy for the parents. If you don't want to take money from your kids, have them put the equivalent of rent into a savings account, so they start building up the resources necessary to live more independently.
- Change rooms. If feasible, put young adults who return home somewhere other than the rooms they grew up in. This will help send the signal that this is not a second childhood.
- Establish ground rules for personal behavior. Your home should not be treated as a dorm or a hotel. Rules regarding noise, visitors, and hours for coming and going should be established so as not to disturb your peace.
- Monitor job application activity. Make sure your son or daughter is applying for work every day -- and keeping an open mind. Chances are, mommy and daddy didn't start out in their dream jobs, and young adults need to understand that they can't be too choosy in a tough economy.
- Make volunteering a substitute for work. If your adult child can't find a job, have them volunteer for a regular set of hours instead. This will help them build a resume, make contacts, and avoid slipping into the habit of idleness.
- Formulate a financial plan. Once your son or daughter starts working, help create a budget that will prepare them to move out. This will make sure they don't take advantage of your cheap lodging to simply spend what they earn, and will teach them principles of goal-setting and budgeting that will help them maintain their financial independence once they're back on their own.
- Discuss all these expectations explicitly and up front. You don't need a formal contract or rental agreement -- though some might prefer that -- but you do need to set and reinforce these expectations. If they protest against "being treated like a child," point out that you would lay down formal terms for any adult who sought to rent a room for you.
With the baby boom generation now entering its retirement years, the percentage of multi-generational households may continue to increase, but for a different reason: Many aging parents will have to move in with their children for a combination of health and financial reasons. When that happens, perhaps it will finally be the kids' turn to make the rules.

Maybe your child is entitled, but some of us are humble and extremely thankful for what our parents provide. I paid my own way through college and now have my own debt to show for it. My parents help me out and give me somewhere to stay so that I don't have to worry about the next time I'm going to eat or where I am going to sleep. If you have a good family relationship living with your parents (hell, even having to move in with your children!) isn't that bad.

John and Jenna both must be boomerang kids and not older adults with twenty something children. Check back when you too have a college educated "child" with a degree from a top univerity and a part-time job as a barista, still living in the home you and your spouse pay for.These entiltled kids have got to go...

If more parents had the intestinal fortitude to do what they needed with their children they would not need such obvious advice. If I had ever needed such a safety net I would have went into planning it as being a minimum time.
6 April 2012 at 1:40 pm
Seconding Jenna's thoughts; this article seems well intentioned but misguided.
6 April 2012 at 7:20 am
Jeez, not all boomerangs WANT to end up back home. I lived at home for two years after undergrad and it's not because I wanted a second childhood, it's because I couldn't find a job nearby and I needed to save money until I found one out of the area. I didn't pay rent, I got to live in my childhood room and my parents' didn't need to check up on me to make sure I was still trying to better myself. If you honestly need to do all these things to help your 20-something-year-old child, then they're probably always going to be dependent on you in some way.

With a mix of games offering everything from fantastic platformers to evocative story-driven games, 2013 truly was a great year for gaming, and one that allowed the last generation to go out on a high note. And while I don't love the arduous task narrowing so many of these fantastic experiences down to a ranked list, here are the ten experiences that managed to impress me and stick with me the most throughout the year.
10) The Swapper
"Atmosphere" is one of those buzzwords that has all but reached a certain level of ambiguity at this point, but failing to mention The Swapper's ability to harness it like a superpower would border on criminal. Through its use of inventive sound design, an ominous feeling of vulnerability, and a haunting sense of loss, The Swapper practically oozes atmosphere from its every pore.
With gameplay built on creative and satisfying puzzles solved through the use of clones of yourself and "swapping" between them to pull off certain tasks, it's a challenging game that continually drove me forward to its harrowing end, always keeping me wrapped up in the mystery and eager to learn more.
9) The Stanley Parable
Self awareness and making fun of the nature of game design isn't necessarily new, but The Stanley Parable's approach to it certainly was eye-opening and evocative in ways so many games are not.
The Stanley Parable is fascinating, because it's essentially whatever you want it to be. It can be a deep and metaphorical exploration of the medium and what games are as a whole, or it can be a simple game that doesn't have much of a point. It can serve to comment on the mundane nature of everyday life, or it can be nothing more than a quirky Half Life mod with up-resed graphics.
To me, The Stanley Parable was part challenge, part metaphor. It taunted me, begging me to find ways to break it and to discover whatever demise or ending could possibly be in store. It twisted my mind in all directions, asking me questions about the nature of game design, the purpose of fun, and even the meaning of life itself. Are we meant to be desk jockeys, doing everything we're told and operating on learned behavior our entire lives? Or are we meant for bigger things, to explore, to question, and to ultimately reject the conventional?.
Ultimately, I have no idea if this is what they were going for. But it's what I extrapolated from it. And isn't art partially defined as something that tempts personal interpretation?
Kentucky Route Zero
Admittedly, I was a bit late to the party playing KRZ, as it wasn't until a well-timed Steam sale that I finally gave in and purchased the Cardboard Computer-developed adventure game.
The only way for me to adequately describe Kentucky Route Zero is to call it literature in game form. Borrowing heavily from the works of Southern authors William Faulkner and Tennessee Williams, the game essentially tells a story about hardship and the ways its characters interact within a mysterious world filled to the brim with eerie magical realism I simply couldn't get enough of.
There's much to be explored in KRZ's various themes and use of imagery.It's confusing, it's uncomfortable, it's captivating, and the way it structures itself and borrows heavily from theatrical influence is nothing short of groundbreaking.
7) Rogue Legacy
Roguelikes typically call for a higher level of patience than I'm capable of, which is why I almost never find myself sitting down to play them. That wasn't the case with Rogue Legacy, however, as I found myself hooked by Cellar Door Games' indie darling in that precious "just one more level" loop so many games aspire to but never reach.
Rogue Legacy is hard, but the way it mixes up the gameplay and constantly throws new challenges your way through its inventive Legacy feature keeps things feeling fresh. On top of that, a typical run through the castle on average lasts about two minutes for me, making the game a great one to play in short, digestible bursts. Tight controls and great aesthetic only add to its charm, and saying that Rogue Legacy is one of the best indie games released in 2013 really doesn't feel like all that drastic of a claim.
6) Beyond: Two Souls
There's a definite learning curve to the awkward controls of Beyond: Two Souls that will likely deter many from completing it, but those who are willing to overlook its flaws will find that Quantic Dream's latest offering is one that deserves more than the negative attention it received. Great voice performance, emotional sequences, interesting story moments, and a unique approach to the paranormal all made Beyond: Two Souls one of my favorite story-based games of the year.
5) A Link Between Worlds
I'm not diehard Zelda fan in any respect, but I have spent my fair share of time with and thoroughly enjoyed playing the isometric Zelda titles such as Oracle of Seasons, Link's Awakening, The Legend of Zelda, and of course, A Link to the Past.
A Link Between Worlds managed to capture the finely-tuned magic inherent in many of these classics, all while giving the sequel a new coat of paint and striking a good balance between innovation and nostalgia.
But that's not the only reason A Link Between Worlds is so special to me. No, I actually found a great deal of relief in the game this Thanksgiving when one of my closest friends underwent a liver transplant. On that day, faced with great amounts of stress and uncertainty the likes of which I struggled to cope with, I turned to the power of escapism and A Link Between Worlds to make the harrowing hours of her surgery a bit more bearable. It's the first time I've ever called on a game to aid me in this way, and what it did to make things easier for me is something I'll never forget.
4) Pokemon X
I was about eleven years old when Pokemon reached a veritable fever pitch in the culture, and while I wasn't one to carry around a deck of cards with me, I certainly played a fair amount of the games. In fact, some of my fondest gaming memories are the hours I spent playing Pokemon Crystal on the Game Boy Color I purchased using saved-up babysitting and chore money.
Pokemon X, like A Link Between Worlds, evoked similar emotions and feelings that I'd once felt so many years before, but presented them in a modernized way my adult self can easily appreciate. The same mechanics are there, but the beautiful presentation of the world and swath of new ideas to experiment with and explore really made for a memorable gaming experience that was far and away one of my favorites in 2013.
3) Tomb Raider
Tomb Raider has always left me feeling conflicted. I've been a big fan of past games, loving the likes of Anniversary, Legend, Underworld, and even Guardian of Light, but was always left a bit unsettled thanks to the gratuitous and overtly sexual nature of Lara Croft. As a female, it always felt a bit gross to play as a character who was exploited so needlessly, but the puzzles and unique world always kept me coming back for more.
The first time I saw the trailer for the Tomb Raider reboot, I remember watching it over and over, growing excited for the direction Lara was headed. Finally, I'd be able to play a game about a young woman that didn't exploit her sex appeal. Instead, I could play as an empowered female character whose evolution promised to be a convincing and compelling one.
And boy, did it deliver. No, the story of Tomb Raider isn't necessarily the most airtight, but its narrative troubles are more than made up for by its superb gameplay and gorgeous art design. I'm not one to restart games, but Tomb Raider tempted me to make a return to the cursed island long after I'd already seen its end credits, making it not only one of the best games I've played this year, but one of the best games I've played in a long time.
2) Saints Row IV
For a GTA pessimist like myself, Saints Row: The Third was just the right amount of crazy. It took the idea of widespread crime and mayhem and retooled it into a game whose awareness of its depravity made it an absolute blast to play.
But I was initially very skeptical of the ideas Volition had for Saints Row IV, because it seemed to be a departure from everything I had loved so much about the series in the first place. Aliens? Superpowers? A new job as the President? My worries about the game becoming even too crazy and convoluted for itself became very real the closer we drew toward release.
This is one of those rare cases in which I am thrilled to have been wrong. From the moment it started with a clever play on Zero Dark Thirty, I knew this would be a proper return to form for a franchise whose future had all but been certain. It was the perfect mix up; a brilliant blend of hilarity, great controls, unique missions, and side challenges that admittedly ate up almost 23 hours of my obsessive playing time. Saints Row IV is the perfect embodiment of pure, unmitigated fun, and I love it even more than I did The Third.
1) The Last of Us
While much of the hype that many games garner can run the gamut from middling to outright hyperbolic, I'm pretty comfortable in saying that The Last of Us has earned its every bit of praise. Nearly everything about the game was nothing short of a revelation for me; its fluid combat, the way the game coupled action with its cutscenes, the compelling performances, a fantastically paced and constructed narrative that sounded off on the more compelling themes of post-apocalyptic fiction, and an ending so brash and bold that it stayed with me long after the game's abrupt end. The Last of Us, although harrowing and difficult to get through at times, is one of the most important and unique takes on a very tired subgenre the likes of which I don't suspect we'll see paralleled for some time.

In the 2009 edition of the "battle of ferocious felines", the Kentucky Wildcats claimed sole possession of first place in the Southeastern Conference with what most would call an ugly win. Prior to the game Coach Gillispie and his players warned us that Auburn would be a difficult match up for the Cats and even went as far as to compare them to, gulp, VMI. If that doesn't nauseate you something is wrong. Unlike the aforementioned school, Auburn wasn't necessarily to blame for most of the turnovers the Cats committed.

Search through millions of records to find out more.
April 10, 1887 — Vries, Netherlands
Alida was the oldest of eight children. Her parents, religious Jews, owned a textile business in the small town of Vries. As a teenager, Alida helped her family sell textiles to the local farmers, carrying the goods in a suitcase attached to the handlebars of her bicycle. She married Samuel Wijnberg, and the couple had three sons and a daughter.
1933-39: The Wijnbergs owned and lived in a kosher hotel in the town of Zwolle. It was the only kosher hotel in the region, so many Jewish businessmen and cattle dealers stayed there. In addition to raising her family and working at the hotel, Alida served as president of the local Hadassah Zionist group. On the Sabbath she would go walking for hours with her husband and her daughter, Selma.
1940-42: Alida's husband died in 1941. She and her children continued to run the hotel until the Germans confiscated the property in 1942. The Wijnbergs were relocated to a shack with no bathroom, shower or hot water. Alida kept herself occupied by knitting. Alida's son Maurits and his wife went into hiding in early 1942, but came out when they heard that family members might be deported. Selma then decided to go into hiding. Alida prepared to go into hiding as well, but she was caught by the Gestapo and deported in October 1942.
On October 12, 1942, Alida arrived in Auschwitz, where she perished.

I write a Christmas column almost every year. I try to make each one a little different from the others and focus on what happened to Christmas since the previous years. For one thing, I'm a year older and that's the best possible Christmas present for anyone my age and for everyone at any age. Life is really an often un appreciated gift.
Last year I wrote about how Christmas has become more of a secular holiday than a religious holy day. I see more advertising every year and it starts earlier every year.
This year many stores opened for business on Thanksgiving Day.
Last year I recalled how midnight mass used to be the center of the entire Christmas celebration. It was always celebrated at midnight on Christmas Eve. As the congregation at my church ages, midnight becomes an increasingly difficult time for us old-timers to attend, so midnight mass takes place earlier in the evening.
I wrote about walking to church in the cold and snow years ago. Now, in 2012, I get so out of breath I have to park in the handicap section so as to minimize the distance I have to walk. I wonder how long before I won't be able to walk even the short distance from the car to my seat in a church pew.
Every year there are more and more electronic gadgets that cost more than they did last year. When it comes to gifts, there is nothing I need and nothing I really want. That is with the exception of another Christmas in 2013.
With the economy what it is, I wonder if families are spending more or less this year than last year? I think it will be less. One of the greatest differences this year is the loss of some of my friends. So many have died. So many will not be here this Christmas. There are fewer who send Christmas greeting cards and/or make holiday phone calls.
Some thing have not changed at all since last Christmas. I have all the same neighbors as last year and that's good. The weather probably will be the same with gradually increasing temperatures from year to year in the future. I live in the same house with my dear daughter. I drive the same old car, shop at the same stores, and go to the same doctors who prescribe the same pills as last Christmas.
We have the same president we had last year and he will no doubt celebrate his Christmas the same way he and his family did last year.
Every year at this time I think again of a column written by Dick Feagler about the friends and relatives who used to be part of his family's holiday celebration. He wrote that they are still there, on the other side of the glass windowpane. They can see him but he can't see them except in his memories. In that same way I can see my Mom and Dad. They must be so proud of my writing. Sometimes I get an idea for a column and don't know where it comes from. Could it be from them?
Helen must be on the other side of the window, too. She must be thinking of the 54 years that we had been married and reminding me of all the good times we had together. When one of those memories comes to me out of nowhere, I'll bet she has something to do with it. Her parents, her brother and her sister and brother-in-law are all on the other side of that window pane, too. So are my sister, her husband and my brother's wife.
It must be pretty crowded there, with all the cousins aunts and uncles who have gone before me. Uncles Frank, Ed, Joe, John, Rudy and Charlie. Aunts Annie, Stella, Mary, and Julia. Cousins Raymond and Joey, Irene, Adeline, Sylvia, George, Jimmy, Tony, and all the others I can't remember right now.
A letter once written by a newspaper man to a little girl who wanted to know if Santa Claus was real has been one of my favorite pieces of literature. He told her, "Yes, Virginia, Santa Claus is as real as love and generosity and devotion," (or words to that effect). The fact that you can't see them does not mean they aren't real. That letter is well known as the "Yes, Virginia" letter.
There's one major change in the way I celebrate Christmas that is different from what it was a long time ago. My parents, my siblings and I observed a tradition on every Christmas Eve after midnight mass. Since we were all dressed up and gathered together, we would pose for a family picture. I'm not sure, but I think we did that for something like 20 years.
Of course, since we were a Bohemian family, we did the things all Bohemians did to observe Christmas. Most important and most enjoyed was the houska my Mom would make. A houska is a large loaf of sweet bread with lots of eggs, butter, sugar, almonds and raisins. Hanging stockings for Santa to fill was important, too.
A recent column was about my grandmother. While she lived with us, she usually got a piece of coal in her stocking because she had been a "naughty girl" and of course we kids thought that was hilarious.
I hope Christmas never gets to be just a holiday, an excuse to celebrate and to spend lots of money. Already I hear some people say "Happy Holiday" instead of "Merry Christmas." I think it should always remain a Holy Day.
I want to take advantage of this opportunity to wish each and every one of my readers a very Merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous New Year. These greetings are especially directed to the staff at the Record Publishing Co. office.

Lincecum sharp but offense stifled in San Diego
Right-hander in strong form, fans nine over seven innings
SAN DIEGO -- Attention, free-agent shoppers: Tim Lincecum provided further evidence Friday night that he remains capable of being an effective pitcher.
Unfortunately for the Giants, their hitters couldn't match Lincecum's excellence, as the offense went virtually silent for the final seven innings in a 2-1 loss to the San Diego Padres.
During their three-game losing streak, the Giants are 2-for-24 with runners in scoring position. In the series opener against the Padres, they went 0-for-5 in those situations and scored their lone run on a wild pitch.
Little was heard from the Giants' offense after they had runners on first and second with nobody out in the third inning, as Padres right-hander Andrew Cashner and four relievers combined to retire the next 19 Giants batters.
Padres closer Huston Street surrendered ninth-inning singles to Buster Posey and Brandon Belt but coaxed Brandon Crawford's groundout to end the game.
Amid this silence, Lincecum's performance spoke volumes.
The right-hander worked seven innings, marking the first time he lasted that long since Aug. 10 against Colorado, 14 regular-season starts ago.
"On a personal note, it was great to go seven and not be all over the place," said Lincecum, who walked three. "I'll take it as a positive that I put the team in position to come back."
Lincecum also struck out nine, including at least one in every inning but the second. That was his highest figure since he totaled 11 against Houston on July 14, a 19-start stretch.
But the two-time National League Cy Young Award winner wasn't interested in dredging up his past, especially last year's disappointing 10-15 finish.
"I'm trying to get away from comparing this year to last year," Lincecum said, adding that his primary concern was to "do my job and put the team in best position to get a win."
Lincecum duly impressed Giants manager Bruce Bochy. "I'll take that outing every time out," he said.
Combined with his 6 2/3-inning shutout of the Padres last Saturday, Lincecum has made back-to-back quality starts, something he didn't do last season until June 22 and 27.
"I thought he was not too different from what we saw last weekend," Padres manager Bud Black said. "The split has good action. He's throwing the ball well. This guy knows how to pitch."
Should Lincecum continue even a semblance of this pace, he'll likely be a popular commodity this offseason when he enters free agency, as is expected. The Lincecum who posted a 5.63 ERA in his first three starts wouldn't be extremely marketable. The version who owns a 1.35 ERA and 17 strikeouts in 13 2/3 innings in his last two games should prompt owners to reach for their checkbooks.
The Giants were 4-1 in Lincecum's April starts, but he cautioned against reading too much into that. "The team did a great job of bailing me out of a couple of games where they scored a [lot] of runs," he said.
That didn't happen this time.
Lincecum received spectacular defensive help in the second inning, when center fielder Angel Pagan dashed to his right for a diving catch of Jedd Gyorko's line drive. That helped Lincecum escape a two-on, none-out jam.
An inning later, third baseman Pablo Sandoval plunged forward to snare Everth Cabrera's bunt attempt in foul ground. Unlike Pagan's play, this didn't save Lincecum as the Padres proceeded to score twice. Lincecum compromised himself by allowing Cashner's leadoff single, which preceded consecutive two-out singles from Chase Headley, Carlos Quentin and Yonder Alonso. Quentin's hit tied the score and Alonso's put San Diego ahead to stay.

Marlon Samuels powered West Indies to 170 for three on a very good Kensington Oval pitch in the first Twenty20 international against England.
Samuels (69 not out) took late advantage of being dropped by James Tredwell on 43, the off-spinner therefore spoiling much of his earlier good work with the ball.
Chris Gayle and Dwayne Smith gave the hosts an ideal platform in an opening stand of 57 - but Tredwell's canny spell and Ravi Bopara's medium-pace stopped West Indies kicking on towards 200, after winning the toss.
The home innings got off to a memorable, and ominous, start when Smith pulled Stuart Broad's very first ball on to the roof of the Greenidge & Haynes stand.
There were three fours too in an opening over which cost 19, including a no-ball.
Jade Dernbach fared much better initially, finding early swing and beating Gayle with a beauty which almost bowled him for a second-ball duck.
Gayle appeared out of sorts, mustering just three runs from his first 11 balls, until he carved three fours in four deliveries off the previously accurate Tim Bresnan.
It was Gayle who then brought up the 50 in the sixth over with a mighty six over long on off Ben Stokes, before Bopara broke the stand when he hit the top of off-stump as Smith tried to shovel to leg.
Gayle remained a grave danger to England until, having conceded one big six to him, Tredwell had him lbw on the back foot.
After the off-spinner bowled 15 dot balls, and Bopara had a second wicket - Lendl Simmons caught at long on - England were restricting the hosts admirably.
Tredwell then dropped a searing chance at cover to reprieve Samuels - after which the number three hit five successive fours off the unfortunate bowler, Dernbach.
But the Surrey seamer recovered to concede only five runs in a skilful final over and help to give England even prospects of an opening victory in this three-match series, despite Samuels' 10 fours and a six from 46 balls.

What do you think happend to Donald Love after Love's Disappearance?There've been many suggestions (He needed to leave Liberty City to get away from the Colombian Cartel,the Cartel kidnapped him,etc).Everyone has the right to believe what they believe,as long as it makes sence.
Avery has not Died
I think Avery did not die. He is a very smart man and did not come to Liberty City, with plans invaluable in a bobcat with two cars protecting.
He may have used a cover. What explains he has not a word disc. He had been hiding, knowing the attack on its cover. And waited for the dust settles and planned his revenge against love. I think he with the help of Verccetti, sequetraram Love, tortured him, the two had a score-settling and then killed him. What explains the newspaper in GTA IV with the news that Donald Love was dead. Maybe his body was found right after the execution. And the newspaper said, "is Donald Love Died". If they had knowledge about where and how would Donald Love was, they would say "Donald Love has died ". What does that actually had all the aida missing..
Mafia's Revenge
I believe that the Vercetti Gang had something to do with it.If you've played Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories (Spoilers for those who have'nt played it and plan to) Donald orders Toni Cipriani to kill Avery Carrington in order to get his plans and make millions of dollars,and for those who played Grand Theft Auto: Vice City know that Avery and Tommy were good friends.After 3 years I guess Tommy was trying to find out who was responsible for Avery's death and found out (probably through Phil Cassidy who could be his contact in Liberty City) that Donald orderd his death and sends his men to get Donald and his friend bring them to Vice City and tortured them and killed them.Tommy probably orderd Toni's death and led to a mob war between the Leone Family and Vercetti Gang,until Joey Leone orders Tommy's death and is killed in a shootout between the Leones and Vercettis.This could explain the R.I.P Tommy and Toni on the walls in Broker.
OH MY GOD man!!! That is needlessly confusing yet entertaining. You should write that as a Fan Fiction story. Anyhow was that paper in the box in a note? Because if it was a note that means he wasn't kidnapped, but the subtitles on the screen woulda come up as Claude read it. Love's fate depends on what's on that piece of paper.
There was also blood in the blood in the box so, it couldve been human organs, ya know...cuase he is a cannibal. Then he pry left Liberty City. Getting what he needed from Claude, but he might be alive cause he is on newspapers in GTA IV and GTA EFLC. But that could be a article sayin they found his body.
- Thank you!!But yet what do you mean b "the paper in the box"?Do you mean the box at the cutscene of Love's Disappearance?-User:BloodyGTA
- I at first thought that the guy (spoilers for TLAD) who Johnny rescues in Off Route was Love. If you've played, you'll remember the guy on the Prison Transport Bus who viciously bit the guard, and remarked on his taste. We all know how Love is, and this screamed necrophiliac cannibal business owner. Although I later heard a bit of a radio broadcast about the mission, and I think he was remarked as some sort of messed up serial killer. I didn't hear the whole thing so I'm not sure. And, of course, GTAIV has not been confirmed to take place in the same universe as GTAIII era games, so this could all be a load of crap. User:KlebitzFan
- Yea, the paper in the open box in Love's penthouse during the cutscene Love's Disappearance. If it wasn't a note it shoulda been a check or a deed to the penthouse or something. GOD!!! User:TommygunAl
- I think that he think think and think about what he did and he become crazy and he is just on the streets i think. Maybe in a mental hospital. user:repel05
I thought of it like this, after donald left He went to san andreas prolly moved into madd dogg's old house. started selling real estate but some how got caught up in the drug game and pist off wu zi mu and the moutain cloud boys and woozie put a hit on his head. being that woozie and CJ are freinds he prolly sent Cj and some of his Grove street boys to kill him. love being the bitch that he is prolly paid off the san fierro triads to help hi out. it all ended up in a big war involving CJ getting murdered which explains the writing on the walls--Coop804 17:33, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
He was origanlly to be klled on Darkel's oreders but after 9/11 they removed darkel so Donald Love had no place to go but to just disapear.--Roman bellic 17:36, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
IN Gta IV theres a pic of donald love on the newspaper in the yellow newspaper dispencers around the city. the name of the article is "Loves new relationship with high taxes"
maybe he got a job with the government if the newspaper said he loved taxes? (--GTAddict 21:13, 27 May 2009 (UTC)) [edit] OMFG DONALD LOVE IS THA PRESIDENT OF THE US OF A!!!
Yakuza/Cartel's revenge.
For sure, either the Colombian Cartel or the Yakuza killed him because of his actions does anyone agree?

>Gears and Wears>Socks
Loves the outdoors
I'm having sock issues. Socks that used to be fine are now giving me blisters on my toes or hot spots on my instep. Same shoes, but my feet seem to be getting more and more fussy about the socks. I'm getting frustrated as I'm running out of options.
I used to only run in thorlos and loved them, but something has changed and they give me major rub points on my big toes. Now most of my drymax type socks are giving me hot spots on my instep, so they are only good for the shortest of runs. I tried some hilly two layer socks - same issue. I've gone out and bought a whole bunch of cheap ones and still they aren't right. My only pair of socks that is fine are my stupid looking, stupidly expensive injinji toe socks. I have tried wool, but I always shrink them and feel like I'm trying to put on my kids socks after the first wear. Clearly not buying the right brand of those.
My feet have always been very susceptible to blisters and rubbing due to major scarring from acid burns when I was two and a very "curious" child, but the first couple of years of running I had no problems at all. What's changed?
Any other suggestions?
One day I decided I wanted to become a runner, so I did.
Smartwool PhD women's running socks are my current favorite.
Go as long as you can, and then take another step.

If the injini work, save up $$ and use them - better than dealing with blisters. Funny you said that. I have been looking for socks too. I used to use features brand and the wool ones I like but wear out quickly and I get blister sor hot spots. i have two pair of injini toe socks and so far really like them. I also like Balegea http://www.balega.com/

Speaking of sock, does ANYBODY prefer the dumb padded socks? What are they padding you against? They only seem to make the shoe smaller. Certainly it's not impact cushioning. And they don't seem to wear longer than normal socks.
I picked a few up by accident and received more for free; $14 socks now available for free at the local Salvation Army for homeless runners.

I'm also a fan of Injinji socks. I haven't had toe blisters since I started using them. In the last year or so, I've started layering DriMax socks over Injinji liner socks for a double layer and have rarely had blisters any where else.
Marathon Maniac #991 Half Fanatic #58 Double Agent #22 It's a perfect day and I feel great!
I ran in Thorlos socks once and ended up with blisters. My favorites are Balega ultra light - http://www.roadrunnersports.com/rrs/products/BLG115/ .
I also used to wear Thurlos, but ended up with blisters and hot spots, especially after long distances. Crazy as this sounds, I found the perfect socks for me at Old Navy. They fit my foot like a glove. No rubbing, no stretching out, and no holes at the tip of the toe. And I also agree, if the cheaper ones work better, then wear them and save some $$.
Balega women's endro 3 No Show.
I thought they were too thick, but they are not. I wear them all summer long.
I have been running for close to 30 years, and I just started buying running socks about 3 years ago. Man, what a difference. I will never go back. These socks are expensive ( about $10 a pair ) but they seem to last and last. When one goes missing, I do start to panic.
I've got my fiance on the mens version. He likes them too.
- Anya
I'm a balega man for roads. And a dry-max (yes that's the brand) guy for trails. Balega's trail socks are as terrible as their road socks are good.
Also, I'm fine with padded socks.
I have a couple pairs of injinjis. I always think I will hate them when I first put them on, but after a few minutes I don't notice. They are fine. HOWEVER, they can be cold in winter. Kind of the gloves vs mittens effect on my toesies.
Thin trainer socks from the supermarket - £3 for 5 pairs or some such....
After a couple of weeks, I think I am a convert from Injinjis to SmartWool toe socks. They're nice!
Well at least someone here is making relevance to the subject. - S.J.
+1 for Injinji to prevent toe blisters. I also like the Balega Elite line, although I can get hotspots on my toes if the shoes aren't "right". Don't overlook that your shoes change with use, too.
I have to agree!
I even double layer the Injinji with the Balega wool socks for trail runs.
After a couple of weeks, I think I am a convert from Injinjis to SmartWool toe socks. They're nice!
I will be curious to hear how they hold up. I used to only wear Smartwool but stopped because the quality went down and I was going through them every other month.
I also love the Smart Wool toe socks, I've found them to be the best in terms of preventing blisters. Unfortunately they do wear out quickly, but for me it's worth it since I'll get blisters with anything else so I don't mind spending a little extra to prevent that. I also always use Sport Shield on my feet--the combination of that with the wool toe socks has made a huge difference for me.

Nineteen year old Andover Archer Jake Burn was part of the triumphant Archery GB's squad who won the Junior Men's Compound Team Silver at the European Outdoor Youth Championships at Ljubljana, Slovenia recently.
Along with teammmates Jordan Mitchell and Jonathan Bull, the team won a tense semi-final against Russia before being beaten to the gold medal by a Swedish team who were on exemplary form.
In winning the silver, the Great Britain team showed that all their hard training during the build up to the event had paid off.
Simon Scott, compound youth coach of Archery GB, said: "Jordan, Jonathan and Jake really showed their individual shooting strengths during the tournament.
'They also worked fantastically together as a team and clearly enjoyed every moment of the gold medal match. They have proved themselves to be some of the best archers in their age group in Europe and we hope that they can continue their success on the world stage too."
There was plenty of success for Archery GB in Ljubljana, with the squad taking home a Men's Team Cadet Recurve gold, a Ladies' Team Cadet Compound bronze and a Men's Cadet Team Compound bronze.
As a result, Great Britain finished seventh in the overall medal table. The European Outdoor Youth Championships has been held since 2000 and is organised by the European World Archery Federation.

Exclusive: Marlow
Explorer 78 — By Capt. Bill Pike —
July 2004
Sea Wolf
|A two-fisted classic that mixes romance with top-shelf technology.
Okay. I'll admit I struggle with a tendency to exaggerate... sometimes. And I'll admit that when a couple of New York-based PMY editors telephoned me here in Florida a few weeks ago to confirm the wave heights I'd mentioned in a recent boat test, I got defensive. "Hey," I shot back, "It's been honkin' down here for days—seas were at least six foot, or I'm a monkey's uncle!"
Heartfelt conviction is a powerful tool, of course. When I finished up, the New Yorkers were persuaded. But now, thanks to the sea trial of the Marlow Explorer 78 I did in the open Atlantic back in February, with a cold front bearing down, I'm constrained to revisit the issue, only this time with mention of sea conditions—and handling characteristics evoked by them—that are dang near unbelievable, even to me. Who knows how many calls I'll get from the folks in the New York office on this one?!
I'm not too worried, though. The simple truth of the matter is that the height of the graybeards Marlow Marine president David Marlow and I tangled with on that tempestuous February day, a dozen miles east of the Miami sea buoy, was ten feet on average and occasionally 12 feet. Moreover, the wind was blowing between 25 and 30 mph, and there wasn't another vessel in sight, except for a containership. And the 78 ran like a scared rabbit!
To elaborate on this phenomenon with enough oomph to do it justice, let me focus exclusively on the boat's down-sea behavior during the sea trial. After all, it's way more telling than any other kind of parameter, whether we're talkin' up-sea performance, which was generally true-tracking and steady, or even side-sea performance, which was basically solid (without excessive pitching or rolling) despite an electrical glitch that froze our Naiad stabilizers in odd positions now and then.
Whoooooeeeeee! With the compass holding a steady heading, the Northstar 6000i on the dash spitting out speed numbers between 22 and 24 mph, and the bow surging forward with juggernaut inevitability, I was able to simply take my hands off the wheel for long periods, some approaching two minutes. In fact, I ultimately came to enjoy such confidence in the boat's unswerving forward motion that I could occasionally turn my head from the Stidd I was sitting in on the flying bridge and admire the big, blue rollers sweeping in behind us.
"Velocijet Strut Keels," Marlow declared from the copilot's seat at one point, emphasizing the innovative and patented aspect of the 78's hull form that both characterizes all of the six Explorer models and plays a major role in the dead-on, down-sea tracking we were shaking our heads over. Marlow had already briefed me on the theory behind the skeg-like structures. Besides stabilizing direction (and reducing yaw) as the feathers of an arrow do, they gave top-end speed a slight boost by encasing the boat's propeller shafts in hydrodynamically slippery foil shapes, thereby reducing drag, he said.
No matter how many roles the Velocijets play in the 78's open-water performance, they make driving a blast. After Marlow and I had retired to the lower-helm station, where wind and sea were a bit less obtrusive, I swung the big boat through several broad arcs and several circles, marveling at her steering agility and mannerliness, qualities generated partly by Hynautic hydraulics, partly by engine-driven power-assist (with pumps mounted on both mains) and partly by what Marlow calls an "effort multiplier," a device comprised of proprietary parts and a British-built Vickers pump that accelerates rudder response when the wheel is turned rapidly.

The Fault in Our Stars by John Green
"The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars,
But in ourselves, that we are underlings."
Julius Caesar (I, ii, 140-141)
William Shakespeare uses iambic pentameter and other poetic conventions in his plays. Some scholars interpret this quote from Julius Caesar to mean that fate does not control people but humans have free will. In John Green's latest novel, Hazel and Gus meet in a group for people who have cancer. Hazel is reluctant to have a relationship with Gus as she knows her prognosis is not good. She must decide if she is going to allow her cancer/fate to dictate the rest of her life.

There certainly are other opinions, but at the very least they aren't saying that wooden boards, well cleaned and cared for, are significantly worse than plastic boards in the home.One suggestion that has come from Japanese chefs who work on unfinished wooden boards is to wet the board first. The thinking is that if the board is dry, it will absorb liquids from what is being cut, if the board is wet, it would absorb less. Wives' tale? Perhaps. No matter the material, I do like to have two completely independent boards to use as a minimum, and prefer to keep poultry on a third board. The National Chicken Council brags about "only" a 4.3% nationwide average of Salmonella in chicken carcasses tested, but the FDA allows 7.5%. Hmmm, break down ten chickens and you've got somewhere around a 50/50 shot that one of them was contaminated. I'll spend another $10 for a yellow poly board and scrub it and sanitize it, thanks...

Septic PumpSituation puzzles (sometimes called lateral thinking puzzles) are ones where you need to ask lots of yes or no questions to figure out what happened in the situation. These are good puzzles for groups where one person knows the puzzle and answers the questions.
SGT Johnson was patrolling his beat one day and saw a man attempting to siphon fuel from a motor home. After a few attempts, the thief finally got something from the tube. SGT Johnson calmly went up to the house that the motor home was parked in front of and informed the owner of what had happened. He then asked if they wanted to press charges. Amid bursts of laughter, the owner declined to press charges.
Why didn't SGT Johnson arrest the thief on site, and why didn't the owner press charges?
HintLook at the title.
AnswerThe man had opened the wrong port on the motor home and was actually siphoning the septic tank, thus the reason the title is a hint.
SGT Johnson didn't arrest him because he knew beforehand that the thief had the wrong port. The owner dropped the charges because it was one of the funniest things he had ever heard of.

My Legs Are Just
TOO Strong!
My Iron Boots need Heavy Duty Straps!
I love my old Iron Boots, but the antique straps won't hold the weight!
Before leg extension and leg curl machines there was Iron Boot training. Iron Boots have been helping athletes get unbelievable leg development for decades. For those of you who aren't familiar with Iron Boots, they are a pair of iron sandals that strap on your feet. They have a small bar placed through the sole of the boot which allows them to be loaded with weight plates and used for several different leg exercises.
Atomic Athletic now has the premier Heavy Duty Iron Boot Strap for those of you who need to hold more weight, or just need a replacement strap for your antique iron boots. I understand that some of our customers have used our Iron Boots to do Linked Reverse Hyper Extensions, with these straps, using as much as 200 pounds! Now that is some hip and low back strength.

EVERYONE loves a tall story… and they don't come any taller than that of Frederick John Kempster, The Avebury Giant.
Exactly 100 years ago Fred – who according to various accounts was anything from 7ft 9ins to an almost snowy-capped 8ft 4ins – was in the wrong place at the wrong time… Kaiser Bill's Germany on the eve of World War One.
But what was our own Frederick the Great – an amiable, gentle soul, according to those who knew him – doing in Berlin upon the outbreak of the Great War?
And what did the Germans do with such a colossal member of the despised enemy? It is a larger than life story that has grown, with several variations, over the decades.
Born at Bayswater on April 13, 1889, Fred – one of seven children – was "a jolly, laughing boy, of a very liberal and generous disposition", according to his mother Jane.
But when his father died the family was so impoverished that little Fred was taken into care and eventually shipped to Canada for a new life in the colonies.
Upon his return to Britain at 15 he settled in Wiltshire with his sister Ruth and brother-in-law Jim Rayner in the village among stones from which he would later acquire his Avebury Giant moniker.
By this time, however, something very unusual was happening to him. A congenital knee condition led to ligament problems that bizarrely triggered uncontrolled growth and a rapid increase in height.
By the age of 22 he was a lofty 7ft 4ins… and just kept growing. Fred could span 16 notes on a piano keyboard with one hand.
When he first arrived in Avebury the village carpenter was summoned to enlarge by some considerable size the bed in the spare room.
Predictably, local children were terrified of this towering presence in their rural community and presumably hid from him behind those convenient Avebury megaliths… until they got to know him, that is.
Almost half-a-century ago our sister newspaper the Wilts Gazette quoted a Mr AK Bathe's initial reaction upon coming face to knee with Fred in Avebury.
"The first meeting of a man of his stature was frightening to a child of five. But as time went by and you got used to him – he was kind and gentle."
Forty years ago Ivy Hockey, whose father Henry Lawes ran The Red Lion at Avebury, told the Adver: "He used to let me sit on his knee and pass a half crown through the ring he wore on his little finger."
Fred became great pals with her dad, who didn't only own a Ford motorcar – a rare sight in those days – but also one with a folding hood.
With the hood down Fred was able to relax in the back of the car during leisurely cruises around the villages. One can only imagine the stir that such a sight caused.
The aforementioned Mr Bathe recalled: "I remember the car rides with Mr Lawes putting the hood up so that Fred could sit up straight."
Around this time the big fella, a humble basket-maker by occupation, realised he could make a lot of more money just by being, well, a big fella.
His first taste of a fame of sorts occurred when he took his place in a Parade of Giants that formed part of George V's 1911 coronation celebrations in London. He was, by all accounts, the star turn, garnering press reports stating that he could "light his cigars from a street lamp."
It was an easy choice: Fred – who also lived and worked for a while at Worton and Seend near Devizes – became a 'professional giant.' Distasteful as it may seem to our modern sensibilities, circuses that counted "freaks" among their acts were not uncommon in the pre-television days of the early 20th Century. In June 1911 – and by then allegedly filling a frame of more than 8ft – Fred signed up with Astley & Co's American Circus, adopting the stage name Teddy Bobs "Britain's tallest man".
He was a big hit, so to speak… which is how he came to be in Germany during the fateful summer of 1914.
Among Fred's circus colleagues when war broke out on August 3 was an unlikely 8ft plus German giantess called Brunhilde.
Fred and several English members of the entourage were placed under house arrest in Berlin.
Reports over the decades suggest that Fred was incarcerated for two years before emerging a sick and broken man, a condition that eventually led to his premature death.
In 1917, during the height of the Great War, the Detroit Free Press claimed that negotiations were underway for two German dwarfs "both under 2ft" to be returned to the Fatherland from Britain in exchange for Fred.
The New York Times in September, 1914, wrote: "Teddy Bobs was last heard of in Essen. He has an enormous appetite and is expected to aid his country by reducing Germany's food bank."
It appears that Fred was freed after four weeks because, upon his arrival back home, he was interviewed by the Daily Mail (see panel.) The Germans had considered him and his colleagues – including a legless dwarf – unable to bear arms against them.
The British agreed. For a start, he would have been too easy a target and also they didn't have a uniform that would fit – not to mention size 22-and-a-half boots… so said the newspapers.
Back on the circus scene Fred was touring Britain in 1917 when, in Blackburn, he contracted flu which developed into pneumonia. It took eight men to lift him from his hotel bed and convey him to an ambulance in a fire brigade jump sheet.
In the ambulance the luckless Fred had to lie with his knees drawn up so they could shut the door.
The hospital corridor wasn't wide enough so he was hefted up the fire escape by an army of porters before being tipped onto two connecting beds.
Tragically, he died on April 15, 1918, aged just 29.
Even in death, Fred was news. A solid oak coffin, 9ft long and 20 inches deep, had to be made. It took ten people to lower it down. Today his unusually large grave – 10ft by 3ft, which involved the excavation of ten tons of soil – is frequently visited by local youngsters or intrigued visitors keen to hear the tragic yet compelling story of the Avebury Giant…or the Blackburn Giant as he is now known in that neck of the woods.
His gravestone, possibly by way of compromise, calls Fred – who was a likeable, kind hearted chap who coped well with his affliction – The British Giant.
Perhaps it should have said The Gentle Giant!
- THE world's tallest recorded person, according to the Guinness Book of Records, is an American Robert Wadlow (1918-1940) who stood at 8ft 11.1ins.
Fred Kempster and Angus MacAskill (1825-1863) are the UK's loftiest lads – both officially measuring 7ft 9ins – although it is pointed out that Fred's height is disputed as between 7ft 8.5ins and 8ft 4ins.
They have been placed as joint 30th in a list of the world's all-time tallest men.
Former basketball player turned actor Neil Fingleton, 33, is currently the UK's largest fella at 7ft 7.56ins.
The world's tallest living man is Turkey's Sultan Kosen, 31, who is 8ft 3ins.
- INTERVIEWED by the Daily Mail in September, 1914, Fred – whose height was reported by the paper as 8ft 2-and-a-half inches – said he was in Germany as a member of a touring theatrical company.
"With us were a giantess, midgets and a legless dwarf," he said.
Under house arrest in Berlin with five others, they were instructed to keep the blinds down and not to speak loudly in case they should be heard and attacked by passing citizens.
"We played cards and dominoes, and occasionally the police lieutenant brought his wife and children to see us," said Fred.
After a month they were released and made their way home via Holland. The reason they were allowed to go "was our inability to bear arms," he figured.

HOUSTON - Parts of Interstate 10 in West Texas shut down due to snow have reopened but transportation officials say scattered winter storm closures continue. Southeast Texas was spared from the winter blast.
The Texas Department of Transportation said I-10 in the Anthony and El Paso area reopened early Friday. Sections of I-10 in the Van Horn area, about 110 miles southeast of El Paso, remained closed due to ice and blowing snow that affected visibility.
The El Paso Independent School District delayed the start of classes for two hours Friday.
The National Weather Service says parts of North and Central Texas faced the possibility of light snow Friday.
Sleet did not reach southeast Texas.
"One to 3 inches of snow have fallen in El Paso," KPRC Local 2 meteorologist Khambrel Marshall said. "The warm climate southeast Texas has right now is not conducive to sleet. For the most part, we don't have any rain or sleet, and temperatures are a bit too warm to have sleet."
Temperatures reached 44 degrees Friday morning. Friday's high is forecast for 50 degrees.
Light rain is expected for most of the day.
"We'll get some light sprinkles throughout the day, but that's about it," Marshall said. "We're warmer than we were (Thursday). It will be an overcast type of day with a 30 percent chance of rain and sprinkles."

Citing Images and Other Arts-Related Sources
Art historians use a variety of published and unpublished materials in their writing, including
reproductions of artworks and other visual images
live performances
exhibition catalogs
catalog raisonnes
ephemera including advertisements, exhibition wall text
documentary photographs including installation views and conservation photographs
Citing works of art and related materials can be difficult because you may not be able to find the same identifying elements as you would for a traditional book. And depending on the scope of your project, you may need to refer to images in several different ways, including captions, notes, a list of illustrations, and in the bibliography. You may have to adapt given examples and standards to fit materials that are not specifically included in the style guides, but that's okay as long as you are clear and consistent about how you handle the material throughout your paper.
This guide draws primarily on Kate L. Turabian's A Manual for Writers of Research Papers, Theses, and Dissertations (which is adapted from Chicago Style) and the Chicago Manual of Style. Both sources have sections that pertain to citing visual materials, but there are many other citation styles that you could use. Good advice for whatever citation style you choose is to adapt the given examples to fit the material you need to cite and to be consistent.
Additionally, if the source where you discover the image or information has a preferred citation or includes a credit line, defer to the institution's preference. Many archives and other repositories will require their preferred citation.
Citing Artworks
The primary elements to include are the name of the artist, the title of the artwork and date of creation, the name of the repository (if any) and location. Titles should be italicized.
(note examples)
3. Arthur Garfield Dove, Harbor in Light, 1929, Smart Museum of Art, Chicago.
11. H. C. Westermann, Burning House, 1958, Smart Museum of Art, Chicago.
You may often refer to artworks in your writing. Some examples of In-text references to artworks are below:
Dove demonstrates this technique in Harbor in Light (1929; Smart Museum of Art, Chicago).
Westermann's attention to detail can be observed in Burning House (1958; Smart Museum of Art, Chicago).
Citing Online Reproductions of Artworks
If you discovered the image online, cite that file by including all of the information suggested when citing an artwork, as well as the title of the website or database, the file type, and the stable URL to that artwork as well as the date you accessed it. If you cannot get a URL for the image record, include the URL for the main website (this will be the case for many galleries of contemporary art).
(note example)
21. Johannes Vermeer, View of Houses in Delft, Known as 'The Little Street,' ca. 1658, Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam. Rijksstudio Web site, JPEG file, https://www.rijksmuseum.nl/en/collection/SK-A-2860 (accessed September 26, 2013).
43. Vik Muniz, Two Flags, 2007. ARTstor, JPEG file, http://www.artstor.org/ (accessed October 1, 2013).
51. Bauhaus Metal Workshop, Marianne Brandt, designer, Tea Service: Tea Infuser (Pot), 1924 (design), manufactured at the Bauhaus between 1924 and 1929, Smart Museum of Art, Chicago. Smart Museum Collections Website, JPEG file, http://smartcollection.uchicago.edu/view/objects/asitem/search$0040/3/title-asc?t:state:flow=55cb5763-ae7c-49ab-af2f-9d4f294e4ba4 (accessed October 4, 2013).
60. Soichi Sunami, Installation view of the exhibition "Photographs by Bill Brandt, Harry Callahan, Ted Croner, Lisette Model," on view November 30, 1948–February 10, 1949, The Museum of Modern Art, New York. ARTstor, JPEG file, http://www.artstor.org (accessed October 7, 2013).
Regarding images in LUNA: When citing images you discovered in LUNA's "Art History Department Teaching collection," use the "Image Source" field in the image's metadata to find the bibliographic information you will need to cite the image as it was published in the source. LUNA does not display the page number on which an image is located in the text. Contact us if you're having trouble finding the image in the book.
For example, to cite this image in LUNA by Robert Gober, the note would look like this:
13. Robert Gober, Long Haired Cheese, 1992–93, in Theodora Vischer, ed., Robert Gober: Sculptures and Installations: 1979–2007 (Schaulager: Steidl, 2007), 339.
Other Types of Visual Materials
Per Turabian, you may only need to refer to these types of materials in your footnotes (and not the bibliography). It's up to your discretion. Adapt the basic pattern for citing artworks or reproductions of artworks and provide as much identifying information as is available to you. Titles should be in roman type and enclosed in quotation marks, and describe the material after the title if necessary.
11. American Airlines, "Here's America's First and Only Stewardess College," advertisement, ca. 1957.
32. First Garden City Limited, "Letchworth: The First Garden City," advertising poster, ca. 1925.
Citing Exhibition Catalogs
In the bibliography, format the citation as you would for a book, but include the name and location of the exhibition after the publication data. You can treat other information from an exhibition in a similar way, including pamphlets or other ephemera associated with the exhibition.
(note example)
7. Dickerman, Leah. Inventing Abstraction, 1910–1925: How a Radical Idea Changed Modern Art (New York: Museum of Modern Art, in association with Artbook/D.A.P., 2012), 37.
(bibliography example)
Dickerman, Leah. Inventing Abstraction, 1910–1925: How a Radical Idea Changed Modern Art. New York City: Museum of Modern Art, in association with Artbook/D.A.P., 2012. Published in conjunction with the exhibition "Inventing Abstraction: How a Radical Idea Changed Modern Art" shown at the Museum of Modern Art.
Citing Live Performances
Cite live performances (theatrical, musical, or dance) only in the notes. Include the title of the work, names of key performers and their roles, the venue, and date. The titles of plays and long musical compositions should be italicized, but the titles of shorter works should be set in roman type and enclosed in quotation marks. If the citation focuses on an individual's performance, list that person's name before the title of the work.
(note examples)
17. Invisible Man, by Ralph Ellison, adapted by Oren Jacoby, directed by Christopher McElroen, Court Theatre, Chicago, January 25, 2012.
2. Vaslav Nijinsky, choreographer, Le Sacre du Printemps (The Rite of Spring), by Stravinsky, composer, Joffrey Ballet, Auditorium Theatre, Chicago, September 21, 2013.
Citing Audio-Visual Materials
The BUFVC's Guidelines for Referencing Moving Image and Sound (2013) are excellent, and provide examples for film, television, radio, other audio (including recordings, songs, podcasts, and archival recordings), and perhaps most importantly, new media (including user-generated content, vlogs, webcasts, webinars, and games). Turabian also lists examples of how to cite a variety of audio-visual resources if you would prefer to follow that style.
11. The Artist [feature film trailer, online] Dir. Michel Hazanavicius. Weinstein Company, France, 2011. 2min 31secs. http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/weinstein/theartist/ (accessed September 26, 2013).
14. Clown Torture [film installation] Creat. Bruce Nauman, Prod co. n.k., USA, 1987. 60 mins. Elusive Signs: Bruce Nauman Works with Light, Musée d'art contemporain de Montréal.
20. Who Are You, Polly Magoo? [feature film] Dir. William Klein. Club des Produceteurs, France, 1966. 102mins.
Citing Archival Materials
When citing archival materials, include as much identifying information as you can. Include the author's name if it is known, followed by the title or type of document, the date of the item, the name of the collection, and the name of the repository. Use quotation marks for specific titles of documents but not for generic or descriptive names, such as minutes or photograph. Include additional identifying information if it will help to lead readers directly to your sources.

imaheadcase - Wednesday, September 14, 2011 - linkAlso does sandy bridge new one coming out in a couple months..that have a gpu or no? Reply
DanNeely - Wednesday, September 14, 2011 - linkSandybridge-E (LGA2011) doesn't have an IGP; this probably means that IvyBridge-E won't either when it launches next year. Reply
phatboye - Wednesday, September 14, 2011 - linkWhat sucks the most is that even though Ivy bridge will have 50% more transistors which as Anand points out will more then likely be dedicated toward the GPU, people like me won't likely notice a difference since I use a dedicated graphics card connected via PCI-e. I although I doubt it would ever happen for the mainstream consumer line of CPUs I really wish Intel would go back to making CPUs without the on chip GPU. I don't want to spend the money to buy an expensive LGA 2011 platform yet the LGA 1155 platform waste die space on a GPU that I will probably never utilize. That extra die space could be used for more CPU cores, more cache or even just removed entirely so as to cut cost and the other benefits of having a smaller die. Reply
ImSpartacus - Wednesday, September 14, 2011 - linkYeah, it's kinda silly that the high end CPUs get the best graphics, yet they rarely utilize them.
While the low end processors get the neutered GPUs, but those are the systems that will probably go without dedicated graphics. Reply
silverblue - Wednesday, September 14, 2011 - linkThe only benefit of this sort of GPU to such a powerful CPU is QuickSync. Why couldn't they just throw in a tiny section to the die to handle that?
AMD are doing it a different way. BD won't even have a GPU, and Trinity is only a dual-module design, leaving the FX models to be paired with a discrete card. One thing I found of interest is that AMD believes Trinity to be 50% faster at floating point calculations than Llano, which points squarely at the GPU and not the CPU, though you'd expect Enhanced Bulldozer to be equal to the CPU part of Llano at the very least, with the added bonus of turbo to lift up lightly threaded workloads. Then again, saying all that, AMD has been known for building up its products far too much in the past - Barcelona 40% faster than Clovertown? Hell no. Bulldozer up to 50% faster than Thuban and i7 950? Doubtful - benchmarks or GTFO.
Back to the original point, I'd really like to see what all this extra real estate on die is going to do for graphics, even if it's a strange idea to put what could end up being a 6600-class GPU with a 4C/8T monster. Reply
Slaimus - Wednesday, September 14, 2011 - linkI've always though the main point of AVX is to have twice the encoding speed of SSE4. Why is AVX not being used for encoding, but even more additional logic? Reply
gamerk2 - Wednesday, September 14, 2011 - linkTime to develop software, lack of automatic compiler optimizations, etc.
Really, how many programmers do you think actually use SSE on a day to day basis? 90% of the time, its the code the compiler spits out that contains SSE, not because the developer put it in. Reply
DanNeely - Wednesday, September 14, 2011 - linkIn general the more specialized a piece of hardware is the better it will perform at a given task. Quicksync is a dedicated decoder for several common formats and is blazingly fast for them; but won't do anything for more obscure formats or those developed in the future. AVX are general purpose vector instructions; they can be used for anything that needs vector processing not just arbitrary video en/decoding. Reply
fic2 - Wednesday, September 14, 2011 - link"One thing I found of interest is that AMD believes Trinity to be 50% faster at floating point calculations than Llano, which points squarely at the GPU and not the CPU, though you'd expect Enhanced Bulldozer to be equal to the CPU part of Llano at the very least"
I don't think that necessarily points at the GPU. I would hope that BD is at least close to 50% in fp than Llano since the cpu is really just a Phenom II. Maybe it does but I didn't think the truly merged cpu would come out for a couple of years. Reply
Taft12 - Wednesday, September 14, 2011 - linkLooks like they're doing it the right way to me - incentivizing you to buy a CPU more powerful (and expensive) than what you need, or conversely, making you pay for the GPU upgrade that you won't even use.
Cha-ching!!! Reply
fic2 - Wednesday, September 14, 2011 - linkExcept that Intel doesn't get to hit the Ch-ching button on the discrete graphics. Reply

That really applies to AMD's A8 chip, as their top Llano A8 is really the only one with a GPU powerful enough to play most games above the 30fps mark. All the reviews i've seen of the A6 say that it falls just below what you need to game at low-res, comfortably. So, to me personally, the only time i've ever really been compelled to move up to a more expensive version inside a cpu family, is with llano and the A8.
Currently, with Intel's two versions of IGP, they both suck at current games, so there's really not enough [gpu performance] "incentivizing" to really make the jump compelling for those who may want to do the occasional gaming. Now, that MAY change with ivy bridge...
of course, anyone and everyone who is a hardcore, serious gamer will be going Sandy Bridge with a fat card. AMD just can't play in this realm.
The only reason to go A8 is so you can game without a card, and so long as you don't need major cpu power. Of course, that is a pretty nice reason :-) Reply
gramboh - Wednesday, September 14, 2011 - linkThe thing is, the PC gamer/GPU-add in market is small, the market for people to use this chipset and forego discreet graphics on both the desktop and mobile market is HUGE in comparison.
I agree it would be nice if the top end parts traded die space for more CPU features, for me personally, but it is probably not profitable to design those parts for the consumer market given the way things are trending. Reply
DanNeely - Wednesday, September 14, 2011 - linkUnfortunately people like us aren't a large enough market to justify a variant die with all the extra engineering it entails. Not using the IGP gives us more thermal headroom for turbo-boost and overclocking; but that's it. Reply
douglaswilliams - Wednesday, September 14, 2011 - linkAnand,
Someday in the next few years the number of transistors on a single die will be greater than the total number of people in the world.
I think the Mayans predicted the world will come to an end at that point or something. Reply
ClagMaster - Wednesday, September 14, 2011 - linkDoes the extra transistors mean I can browse the internet quicker or make room for a larger, more bloated version of Windows?
I have to admit I am a little blown away by this. These processors are far more powerful than some of the Cray Supercomputers I used in the 1980's.
Simpler computers (like CDC 7600's) did not keep me from designing some really powerful hardware.
What I see with the more powerful computers today is inflated models that predict essentially the same behavior and arrogant young engineers who think the computers allow them to ignore design margins for stuff they do not know about.
I think of it as a sort of digital self-abuse. And it makes people stupid too. Reply
