Adnan Oktar: I told that until 2014 a system similar to the Noah's flood would go on. I told that economic crisis would swallow and continue exponentially. They did not accept this and told that the system would recover in a year. I said that this is not the case and added that it would last for 7 years. Notice that it came to be true. It will continue and meanwhile cause the collapse of countries' economies and sweep all the major industries, all the well-known companies. And only the Turkish Islamic Union will save the world, let me say it.

GDP growth may possibly drop to below 9% in 2012
Facing the global economic slowdown, China's GDP (the gross domestic product) growth next year may slide below 9 percent, the first time since 2002, according to a government chief economist Tuesday.
"The weak global demand is a challenge for Chinese exports," Huang Guobo, chief economist at the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, said at a forum held in Beijing. "Next year, if the situation continues, China's economic growth rate would possibly fall below 9 percent," said Huang.
At the end of last month, also Swiss bank UBS revised downwards China's GDP growth from its earlier projection of 9.3 percent to 9 percent this year. It also downgraded the growth estimate for 2012 to 8.3 percent from the original 9 percent.
According to an economic research report mailed to the Global Times Tuesday by Barclays Capital, during the next five to ten years, China will experience a transition from "economic miracle" to normal development.

The food and the drinks were amazing especially on the rooftop! The rooms were quiet and clean and comfortable. Very friendly and helpful staff. Its located on the inside of the Intramuros walls so it felt safe. Quiet at night! Its located on a very busy corner of town so there is a lot of traffic during the day and evening.
The roof top bar with the views across Manila, the perfect spot for sunset. Great location to explore the Intramuros area of Manila.

What to Expect After Teva v. Sandoz?
On February 18, 2015 By Emily Gabranski February 16, 2015
Less than a month ago, the Supreme Court reversed the Federal Circuit's en banc decision in Teva v. Sandoz, holding that the Court of Appeals must apply a "clear error" standard of review to all factual findings made in patent claim construction. The proper standard of review has been hotly debated for sometime, [...]Continue Reading →

While they are keeping the details of the agreement quiet, it appears that the two technology giants are actively trying [...]Continue Reading →
Federal Circuit's Declaratory Judgment Ruling DOA?
On May 30, 2013 By Zachary Loney January 21, 2014
Typically in patent litigation, the patent holder bears the burden of proving that the defendant infringed. The Federal Circuit recently created a limited exception to that rule in Medtronic, Inc. v. Boston Scientific Corp. (Fed. Cir. 2012) (PDF). It held that when a licensee in good standing seeks a declaratory judgment of non-infringement, [...]Continue Reading →

I've been searching the internet for the answer to my question for two days now. Maybe I'm missing something simple but regardless here goes.
I have successfully installed and ran the karma'd hostapd on my bt5 laptop. From http://www.digininja.org/karma/ and I've successfully connected to it and got an IP address. The problem I am having is what to do after that. I tried monitoring any interface that was related to the ap but all I can get are beacon frames. What can you do once you get connections with this?
If this question was answered I apologize for being a dumb ass.
Thanks for listening.

After seeing some of the Canadian Bacon posts recently, I decided it was time I made some more. I used the basic Buckboard Bacon cure and rubbed up three nice loins last weekend. Pulled them out of the fridge and soaked in water for about 1 1/2 hours and then let them air dry. I put them on the Large BGE Indirect with the Guru set at 200 and raised the temp to 225 after the first hour. I pulled them when internal temp was 150 and the whole cook took about 2 hours or so. These were my best attempt at Canadian Bacon so far and I will have lots to last me the winter. Here are some pics:
Loins after soaking and laid out to air dry

Sliced up and ready to pack
All packed for the freezer
Very easy to do and tastes much better than anything you buy in the store.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 3/3/2013 (1633 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: My boyfriend of nine months loves me "very, very much" and I love him very much, too. He wants to marry me. He told me about his ex-girlfriend who's causing a lot of problems, because she wants him back. She doesn't like me and tries to break us up, flooding him with emails and phone calls. I asked him to write her back to stop emailing and calling him. Last week I found out where she lives and drove by her house, and a short time after I saw my boyfriend drive by. He was very surprised to see me there, but he didn't go in. He said there's nothing going on -- he just wanted to drop something off. She only calls him when she needs help with something, and he feels sorry for her. He said it's over. On Valentine's Day he went out for dinner with someone else instead of with me. The problem we're having now is he won't let me see her emails. He says it's private, and he's writing back to her. I did see the email he sent to her not to call or email him again. I don't know if I can trust him. Do I have the right to see his emails? What do you think? I feel that he is hiding something from me and not being totally honest with me. -- In the Dark, Winnipeg
Dear Dark: Listen to your feelings. He's hiding a lot -- and for nine months now. He'd make a lousy, cheating husband. It's shocking how much bad treatment you take. He let you sit there while he had dinner with another woman (her) on Valentine's Day and you're still with him? Of course it's her! By the way, that's only three weeks ago. What kind of "love" is he showing you? Stop sticking around, acting like it's a contest you hope to win. He's enjoying the ultimate ego massage of having two women fight over him. He takes her emails and phone calls when he could block them, and he also drops by her house. Let yourself imagine why! A woman who wants a guy back will pull out all the stops and that includes the best sex he'll ever get, at least from her.
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I slap my boyfriend's face regularly, and he loves it. He likes a woman who is feisty and he has a rude mouth so I correct him on that every time he says something vulgar. When he told his older sister about this, she wanted to call the police on me. I went over and told her, "It's just a game play and he loves it." She slapped me then, and said I was a liar and not to lay a hand on her brother again or she would "kick my butt." She weighs 200 pounds. Why should we have to quit something that turns us both on because of her stupid opinion? -- Petite Dominant, Elmwood
Dear Petite: It's interesting that he told his oldest sister, who is protective of him, about this "game." It sounds like it's been escalating into something he's no longer comfortable with. Note, he was clever enough to go through his big sister rather than tell you directly he was tired of it. You scare him now! Look, you can't blame the sister for giving you a taste of your own medicine. She will call the cops if you keep abusing her younger brother (whether he started off liking it or not). Change your act, or move on. This guy has had enough of this kind of kinkiness.

I couldn't think of a better way to end this year than by congratulating our newest Member of the Month winner, Hall of Famer. Hall of Famer has been leaving his mark in our forums for a few months now and in that brief time he has caught the attention of the staff for his thought provoking questions and his contributions at helping others.
Please join me in congratulating Hall of Famer and the opportunity he allowed me to have to divulge a little more about him through the following interview.
cpradio:Let me start off with the million dollar question, were you surprised and how do you feel?
Hall of Famer:To be honest I am surprised, I believe there are other posters more worthy of this title but I am honored that it came to be me in the end. I am glad I can contribute something to this amazing community.
cpradio:More worthy posters eh? Did we choose wrongly? Who might these individuals be that seem to have earned your respect here on these forums? Seriously, don't answer that! I see you've been around these forums for a fairly short amount of time, what brought you to Sitepoint, what made you stay?
Hall of Famer:Initially I was attracted here after hearing about the event 'Talk Object-oriented PHP with the Experts(Lorna Mitchell)'. I was late unfortunately, it was already a month over when I registered at SitePoint. Since then I decided to hang around at SitePoint, there are several reasons to keep me stay as opposed to a random lurker. The posters on this forum are generally friendly and open for discussions of advanced topics. On SitePoint you can get answers for not only newbie questions, but also trickier and tougher problems. Come to think about it, in my web application I had a glitch with Ajax Tabs that I wasn't able to find a solution until I asked on SitePoint.
cpradio:Well we're glad you joined and stuck around. Your username is very intriguing, is there a good story (or any story ) behind the name?
Hall of Famer:'Hall of Fame' is part of the name of a fanmade video game I used to work on, I went by the username Hall of Famer since I was the leader of that project. Although the game is no longer under active development, I've used this username for a long time and pretty much all my internet pals refer to me by Hall of Famer or HOF. Nowadays I use it on pretty much every forum I am active on. I know it's by no means a 'good story', but hey it's at least a story isn't it?
cpradio:Definitely, in fact, I'd still argue it is a good story (one not too far from my own). Your profile indicates you are a graduate student, which school, what field are you pursuing, and if someone were to follow your footsteps, what advice would you give them?
Hall of Famer:I am a graduate student at Cornell University (does the location Ithaca imply any of this?). My major is actually chemical/petroleum engineering, but nowadays I am quite into computer science so I'd love to find a full-time job at computer science industry too if I get a chance. If there's one advice I can give to anyone following a similar path as I've taken, I'd say 'Let Your Interests Guide You To the Career of Your Dreams'(quoted from Laura Day's book title). As a non-computer scientist to begin with, I learned programming primarily through interest and enthusiasm(thanks to the web application I work on). When there's a will, there's a way.
cpradio:Wow, that was definitely unexpected. Majoring in Chemical/Petroleum Engineering sounds, well... boring (at least to me :p). Do you have any other interests outside of web programming?
Hall of Famer:I am also interested in video gaming, game development, watching sports/movies, and parties that everyone loves.
cpradio:What games are you currently working through and who are amongst your favorite teams?
Hall of Famer:I mostly play RPG and Sports/Racing games, recently played Growlanser 4 on PSP and it was great. Sports games like FIFA, NBA2K, Need For Speed are games that I play every now and then. They are a bit different from RPG as there's no such thing called Game Over and you can play online with your friends anytime you want. I am no longer developing fan-made games nowadays, it was a great experience a few years ago when most people were developing 2D Games, now that the demand for 3D games grows it becomes a serious problem for those who are not artists or 3D designers.
I follow many sports, Football, Baseball, Basketball, Ice Hockey, Tennis and Soccer, they are always fun to watch and I normally don't pick a side nowadays. I used to root for some teams a long time ago, but since I tend to get way too emotionally involved (mood heavily affected when my teams lost, sometimes even hard to sleep at night) my parents and friends advised me to enjoy the games just for fun instead.
cpradio:I'm a RTS person myself and have had a lot of fun with Starcraft and its sequels/continuations and have never really followed sports (I don't mind watching them, just never got interested in following any of them). You seem to have a great passion for PHP, what drives you to PHP, what has intrigued you to ask some of the thought provoking questions as of late?
Hall of Famer:I was driven to PHP after taking over a web application/software from someone who no longer had time and passion to develop it. It was written in PHP and already had about 20 client users actively following its update, so I decided to stick with PHP as rewriting it in other languages would be difficult and time-consuming. You meant those questions I randomly came out with about OOP, MVC and ORM?
cpradio:Yep, those are the ones! They have really been refreshing to see in the PHP forum as of late, I really enjoy some higher level discussions that you may typically find in a speaking forum or panel.
Hall of Famer:Guess that's just the way I am? After all you are talking to someone whose mind is always filled with weird ideas like how we can make antimatter weapons, or transfer electric fish gene into human. XD Seriously, I read advanced PHP articles from sites like [PlanetPHP and [url=http://www.devshed.com/]DevShed](http://www.planet-php.net/), there are times when I partially grasp a concept but still seem to be confused a little bit, especially when it comes down to how to actually implement a beautifully looking idea in actual coding practice. This is why I raise such questions on SitePoint, in fact most of the time I am already very close to getting the point before I ask. I am always a curious person, I know curiosity kills the cat but I just cant help it. On the other hand, don't you think the forum is better off with more intermediate to advanced level problems than beginners syntax questions?
cpradio:In the development world, curiosity is rarely a bad thing (from beginner question to the intermediate/professional ones). What can really get you into trouble is being overly creative, but I digress, that's a discussion for another day. On a similar note, you seem to really be vetted into OOP practices, how did you get there and are there any interesting aspects to your studies, job, projects, whatever it may be that lead you to this point?
Hall of Famer:Good question, it is indeed somehow related to the software I am working on. As I briefly mentioned earlier, it was originally owned by someone else, but the old code was spaghetti procedural code. The very first few months when I took it over, I did not decide to refactor the code but instead simply worked on new features by extending the application. As the application grew, it became progressively harder to keep adding new stuff. I eventually decided to refactor the script step by step using object oriented practices, it did not start well at first but the code did became much neater nowadays. During this refactoring process I was able to learn advanced OO programming and instantly fell in love with it. Some experts say that once the concept of OOP clicks it will be difficult to ever let go, they are absolutely right. Right now I am overhauling it again with MVC/ORM architecture, I hope it will be another worthwhile experience for me and my software.
cpradio:Yes, OOP is definitely addicting once you get into and you've seen what it can do (that's actually how I got hooked on .NET). What other languages do you like to get into and what drove you to those languages?
Hall of Famer:There are four other languages I'd like to get into. The first one is C#, I believe it has the nicest syntax for someone so used the C-family/style syntax like me, it also has powerful support for OOP, almost a pure object oriented language. The second one is Objective-C, its not a user-friendly language but don't you think mobile programming is the way of future? The third is Scala, people on Reddit's PHP section claimed that it would be the go to language for future web programming, so I'd be curious at learning this language and seeing if it will indeed live up to this hype. The last one is C, I definitely don't like procedural languages but learning C can lead me into modify PHP's native code that I've always been striving for, maybe someday I can even create my own interpreted language if I know how to program in C. I know it sounds crazy and beyond my skills at the moment, but hey you never know what will happen 10 years from now do you?
cpradio:If the past 10 years are any kind of guide, I imagine we'll continue to see big shifts in how our languages are interacted with, but I definitely have no idea what that may be. Knowing C# will help you dive down into C++ and C, for anyone new to those languages, I like to think going from C# down to C++/C is more beneficial. C# is more forgiving than C++/C, so you can learn the basics there and slowly convert your programs to C++/C to learn the more unforgivable components (memory management and dynamic pointers, for example). One last advantage is you can mix C++/C with .NET, so you can actually write the same examples/programs in both languages in the same solution and compare them.
Seeing how other languages are also an interest to you, which language would you pick as your "go to" language and why (come on, deep down you know we all have a "go to" language)?
Hall of Famer:This is a hard question to answer actually. My first and primary programming language is PHP, but I won't consider PHP a 'go to' language since it has many problems. At this point I'd say C# is the 'go to' as it has one of the most elegant syntax for a programmers comfortable with C-family languages, and its support for object oriented features is quite powerful and complete. In the future, Scala may be a very good candidate for 'go to' language, I heard that it's considered the future for web programming and after taking a brief look at Scala examples I am already starting to like it. If PHP's poor support of many object oriented features gets resolved in future it may become a 'go to' language, there are many possibilities.
cpradio:I too use C# a lot when I want to do a proof of concept (especially on a Windows machine), if I'm at home, I typically utilize Bash as it is usually quick enough for me to write a test in. Are there features you'd like to see implemented from one language to another (example: return types from C# into PHP to improve the use of Interfaces)?
Hall of Famer:Of course there are quite a lot I can think of, especially considering PHP is my primarily programming language to use and the fact that PHP is lacking so many needed OO features. C# definitely is a much more complete object oriented language, it will be nice if PHP can implement features such as autoboxing, property accessors/mutators syntax, return type hinting, inner/nested classes and operator overloading. I hope to see metaprogramming and multithreading in PHP too, as well as some changes made to namespaces ('cause you have to admit it, PHP's namespace implementation is ugly and incomplete). Good news is that most of them are possible with PECL and patches from PHP RFC, but if you are developing freeware/open-source software with most of your users/customers on LAMP servers, you are stuck with the default PHP so there's not much you can do. It's only achievable if someday I start my own hosting service with a heavily modified PHP, but hey does it still even look like PHP at all if it's so extensively patched? Maybe I call it P# instead. :lol:
cpradio:Very interesting. I not sure we'd ever see those sort of changes in PHP since the target for PHP is entirely different than that of C#, but who knows. Thanks for taking the time to for this interview, we've now come to the point where you have your chance at blatant self promotion. Is there anything that you would like to promote?
Hall of Famer:Oh sure, I appreciate that. As you may have already know, I am developing a piece of software right now, the name is called [Mysidia Adoptables. The current version is in fact not that good, but the new version will be overhauled with more object oriented design/code, and in fact I am even writing my own framework to support its architecture. It would be nice for non-programmers/beginners to take a look since it's very easy to install/use, while advanced coders are always welcomed to participate as they can be helpful making addons/plugins for the script. Also I sometimes contribute classes to [url=http://www.phpclasses.org/]PHPclasses.org, under the name [url=http://www.phpclasses.org/browse/author/1034738.html]Ordland. For those who use/download scripts from [url=http://www.phpclasses.org/]PHPclasses.org](http://www.mysidiaadoptables.com/), take a look at my packages if you don't mind.
cpradio:I want to thank you again for taking the time to be a part of this interview, it was great getting to know more about yourself. So let's give it up one more time for Hall of Famer, December 2013's Member of the Month!
Hehe, majoring in Chemical/Petroleum Engineering doesn't sound boring to me. Sounds impressive. Well done on a great interview, guys. Thanks for being such a good member, Hall of Famer, and congratulations.
Congratulations and a very good interview.
As far as your interest in languages are concerned then take a look at Golang, just over four years old and I think it will be become even more successful.
I am pleased you clarified the location of Ithaca. Previously I read your profile, had never heard of Ithaca, Googled and was curious to know if you were from Greece or USA
Great interview!
And please do persist with the OOP/MVC/ORM topics, for someone that cut his teeth on BASIC, I have such a deeply entrenched procedural mindset that I need all the exposure I can get if there's ever to be a "click"GOTO 1
Speaking of 2D -> 3D games reminded me of the time when tube etching pong was all the rage. :shifty:
I'm a bit confused
The script allows you to create an adoptables/pets site of your choice
Is this for "animal shelter" type stuff?
Congratulations and interesting Interview (although parts of it went whoosh above my head )
Me too. On a C64. Talking about "goto" languages :lol:
Congratulations @Hall_of_Famer; , and a good job on the interview from both of you.
Me three. On a ZX Spectrum 48kHow the world has changed!
Great interview guys and congratulations Hall of Famer on the well-deserved award.
Wow this comes out already, thank you so much everyone, I am honored to become Member of the Month for Dec 2013.
@ralph_m ;I try to be helpful as I can. Glad you find Petroleum/Chemical engineering interesting, not everyone feels this way but its not a bad thing(yeah, diversity!). Come to think about it, if 10x more people find Petrochemicals intriguing we'd have a real hard time finding jobs. XD
@Mittineague ;lol I try my best, and since I will soon begin writing the ORM library for my own application you will likely to find quite a few topics about it. Some people say ORM are bad practices, but what if your software's client users are stuck with relational databases and cannot use the more 'modern' approach like OO database or NoSQL?
My application started as a virtual pet browser game, but has evolved from it since 2011. Your adoptables/pets can grow through clicking/feeding, and you can breed baby adoptables from two parents. You can also purchase items and other useful things from shops, the next version will have even more than these. If you are interested, check out the Mysidia Adoptables official site for a full features-list. Its hard to describe them all with a few words here.
@John_Betong ;I am not quite familiar with GoLang but I heard it was not an object oriented language? I'd rather stick to Object Oriented Programming myself, although I may keep an eye on it since its rapidly growing in features and popularity. After all, PHP started as a templating language so you never know what a new language will look like 10 years from now.
@Paul_O_B ;Pardon me for being curious, but if you dont mind would you please give a hint of what went whoosh above your head? XD
@guido2004 ;Thanks for mentioning me, otherwise I wouldnt've found out this thread so easily.(as my Firefox Browser opens with one of its tabs pointing directly to the PHP subforum of SitePoint). XD
@Pullo ;I appreciate this award and will try to be as helpful as I can, although I am no expert/legendary coders like many of you so I can make mistakes.
Great interview and congratulations to both of you (interviewer and interviewee) clap clap clap
I wouldn't consider a major in Chemical/Petroleum boring. More like a lot of hard work and lots of studying and perserverance. And I like chemistry anyway. So I guess it is a question of taste :)
As far as Object Oriented Language is concerned according to a Google search, Golang has an updated version which I am sure you will like.
@molona ;Thanks for your comment. And yeah it requires quite a bit of learning, we pretty much have to possess knowledge from more than half of the major engineering fields to be a proper chemical engineer, that includes Mechanical Engineering, Material Science, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science and Biological Engineering etc. Its a tough but useful experience to me. I like Chemistry too, but Chemical Engineering is actually closer to Physics/Applied Physics than Chemistry. XD
@John_Betong ;I've read the description in detail, and at this point it is not a very good object oriented language, not even comparable to PHP. It's syntax is close to C-family language syntax, but still does not feel as comfortable as Java/C#/PHP to me. If it gets popular I will probably learn it just to build up my skills, but as a go-to language Id say GoLang will have a long way to go. Sure there may be an updated version that is more object oriented than the current one, but if object is added as an afterthought rather than appearing as the core/basis of the language it will not be attractive enough for me to switch from PHP over. For now I say it has the potential, but only time will tell whether it will become as good an object oriented language like Java, C#, Ruby or Scala.
I came to realise—while I was a teacher—that every subject is inherently interesting if you approach it the right way. The world is full of fascinating things to learn and discover. Everything is basically a mystery. What could be more fascinating than that you can turn black goop out of the ground into the amazing range of things they are turned into (plastics etc.)?
Congratulations @Hall_of_Famer on the well-deserved award! Kudos to you and @cpradio for a nicely conducted, interesting interview.
oops or is it OOP.
Some experts say that once the concept of OOP clicks it will be difficult to ever let go, they are absolutely right. Right now I am overhauling it again with MVC/ORM architecture, I hope it will be another worthwhile experience for me and my software.
It's a foreign language to me
Congratulation Hall of Famer for earning December's Member of the Month, and please keep up the good work.
Wow good choice! Congrats cpradio!
And Hall of Famer, too, surely?
Oh boy! I need to not post when I have more than 5 windows open. How embarrassing! You can just go ahead and shoot me now.
Don't worry, I know the feeling.
Nice work Hall of Famer Thanks for being such a valuable member of the community.

Gators get third straight walk-off win, sweep Huskies
Published: Sunday, March 9, 2014 at 8:19 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, March 9, 2014 at 8:19 p.m.
For the third straight game, Florida and Connecticut went to extra innings at McKethan Stadium on Sunday afternoon, and for the third straight time, the Gators sent the crowd home happy with a walk-off win.
Up next
Illinois State (8-4) at Florida (10-6), 7 p.m. at McKethan Stadium
Casey Turgeon's squeeze bunt with one out in the bottom of the 10th inning scored fellow junior Josh Tobias, who had tripled to lead off the frame, with the game-winner as the Gators (10-6) completed their first series sweep of the season with a thrilling 6-5 win before 3,015 fans.
The victory, UF's third-straight, one-run decision of the weekend, extended the Gators' winning streak to a season-high four games, while the hard-luck Huskies (4-8) lost their fifth straight in a contest in which the teams combined to use 13 pitchers, eight of them by UF.
"They're a good team," coach Kevin O'Sullivan said. "We're really pleased with how we played this weekend and how we fought back."
Unlike the first two games of the series (1-0 and 2-1 UF wins) where runs were scarce, Sunday's contest was a back-and-forth battle in which each team was in the lead at last twice.
The Huskies put two runs on the board in their first at-bat, but the Gators answered in the bottom of the first with a pair of runs on an RBI double by Turgeon that scored sophomore Richie Martin, who had a lead-off single, and a sacrifice fly by junior Taylor Gushue with one out that scored Turgeon.
UF would eventually take 3-2 and 4-3 leads, but the Huskies put together four hits that led to two runs and a 5-4 lead in the top of the fifth.
UConn carried that one-run lead into the ninth and was two outs away from taking the series finale when Gushue blasted a one-out home run over the left field bleachers to knot the score at 5-all and force extra innings.
"That was a big-time at-bat by a big-time player," O'Sullivan said.
The Huskies proceeded to load the bases with one out off UF sophomore reliever Eric Hanhold in the top of the 10th, but junior Bobby Poyner came in and got a huge strikeout of the Huskies' Bryan Daniello before retiring pinch-hitter Nico Darras on a fly ball to center to quell the threat.
"In that particular situation, I knew I needed either a strikeout or a ground ball up the middle to turn a double play," said Poyner. "I had to stay away from contact."
Tobias led off the bottom of the inning by ripping a 3-2 pitch from UConn reliever Patrick Ruotolo to the base of the fence in left center, sliding safely into third ahead of the relay.
With the infield drawn in, freshman Buddy Reed lined out to second, but Martin drew a walk to bring up Turgeon, who placed a perfect bunt up the first-base line to plate Tobias.
"It was a long game, and we just needed to get that run home," said Turgeon, who went 3 for 5 with two RBIs to pace an 11-hit UF attack, with Gushue, Tobias and Martin each going 2 for 3.
"We're starting to break out," said Gushue, who knocked in a game-high three runs. "The bats are getting hot, and the pitchers are absolutely carving up the hitters on the other team. Not enough can be said about our pitching this weekend. It was absolutely unbelievable. Every key situation, they did their job."
Poyner (3-2) picked up the win, his second in as many games, while Ruotolo (1-2) took the loss.
Florida will host Illinois State (8-4) in a midweek game Wednesday at 7 p.m. before opening SEC play with a three-game home series against Arkansas beginning Friday.

Gary Levin, USA TODAY
It's no surprise that more folks are streaming movies and "binge-watching" shows on Internet-based sites like Netflix, Hulu and Amazon. But a new study from Nielsen out Wednesday tries to measure just how prevalent so-called "over-the-top" services that don't rely on cable or satellite TV have become.
Though precise viewership data is kept secret by those companies, a July survey of 2,000 consumers, half of whom use Netflix, allowed Nielsen to venture some estimates:
• 38% of Americans "use or subscribe" to Netflix, up from 31% last year, although Netflix claims only about 30 million subscribing households.
• 18% use Hulu, up from 12% last year, with 12% saying they use the free version and 6% using the subscription-based Hulu Plus.
• And 13% said they use Amazon Prime Instant Video, nearly double the 7% who said so last year.
The study also found 88% of Netflix users reported watching three or more episodes of a TV show in a single day, and 45% said they watch original series on streaming services, such as Netflix's Emmy-nominated House of Cards.
Among Netflix users, 48% watch on a computer screen (up from 44% last year); 23% watch on a smartphone (up from 11%); 15% watch on their iPad, way up from 5% last year. But the percentage of users who reported using Roku or Nintendo's Wii game console dropped this year, reflecting the declining popularity of those devices.

How could Adobe have handled WordPress better? I'm still thinking about that "Uploading Gone in Flash 10" piece last week, from Allen Stern.
Background: Adobe Flash Player 10 had to move to a stricter security model in a number of ways, including explicit user permission for file uploads. There's been much ongoing guidance, and people who make SWF themselves seem to have made this jump successfully. But there has been higher-than-normal pain among JavaScript developers, bloggers, and video sites: they may not actually create SWF themselves, but they rely on SWFs made by Adobe's customers. These folks didn't get the word.
How can things be improved? I don't know. Do you have ideas?

Leatherhead striker Greg Andrews has asked the Tanners fans to stay patient as they rediscover their goalscoring boots.
Andrews and his team mates started the season on fire banging in 16 goals in eight games, on the back of a pre-season tally of 19 goals in eight games.
However, since going out of the FA Cup last month, the Tanners have scored just five goals in five games, including one penalty and an own goal.
Moreover, Richard Brady's men are second from bottom of the Ryman League Division One South – although such is the open nature of the division, winning their two games in hand would propel the Tanners to fourth.
Andrews said: "We can't put our finger on why the goals have dried up. It's one of those where no one really knows the answer. The problem is, the longer it goes on, the more of a problem it becomes.
"When you lose four on the bounce, the fans start moaning and getting on your back and when you're not scoring goals, they really lay into you.
"I know they're not happy but we're not going out their to lose games and not score goals. It'll take time.
"It's still pretty early and I'm sure the goals will come again."
Leatherhead lost 2-1 at home to Ramsgate over the weekend with Kevin Terry scoring the only goal.
Then on Tuesday, after a goaless 90 minutes, the Tanners were knocked out of the League Cup by Carshalton Athletic.
Andrews, who has seven goals this season but only one penalty since the middle of September, said: "We've not played badly in the past two games, it's just that the ball is not going into the net.
"Pre-season and the first few games of season were good and then it started going wrong. And if we're not scoring and we're letting in goals, then there is a problem.
"It's not a blame game but you cannot blame the guys in defence getting annoyed that us boys up front are not getting the goals."
He added: "Time was we'd concede a few goals but we were always good enough to score more than we had conceded."
Leatherhead travel to Dulwich Hamlet on Saturday.

Alberto VO5 Sheer Hairdressing Weightless Leave-In Anti-Frizz & Shine Creme
This is a miracle product. This works very well on my thick, curly mane. It leaves my hair soft, shiny, moisturized, and somewhat less frizzy. The fragrance is very nice, too. I also love that it can be used on wet and dry hair. I usually use about a pea-sized amount and rake it through the back and sides of my hair. Sometimes I use a lot to make sure my hair stays moisturized (my hair gets dry very quickly) or occasionally when I blow dry.

One-Pot Chicken Parm Riceby Silvana Nardone in Gluten-Free, March 21, 2012
If you're a working parent, you already know that dinner is not the easiest meal to get on the table. Even if you manage to cook up a complete meal, the last thing you want to be left with at the end of the night is a big pile of dishes in the sink.
Through the years, I've tried prepping all the ingredients ahead, partially cooking the recipes and making the entire meal and freezing all or half for later. These methods don't quite fit with my spontaneous cooking personality type.
What cooking personality type are you?
This three-step chicken recipe makes perfect sense to me and it just happens to be gluten free. All I do is brown the chicken to give it some flavor then I layer the ingredients—and flavor—into one pot and the recipe pretty much cooks itself.
One-Pot Chicken Parm Rice
If necessary, add more broth or water to the dutch oven during cooking to keep the chicken moist and the rice perfectly tender. For more gluten-free recipes, go to easyeats.com.
Serves: 4
Prep Time: 8 min
Cook Time: 48 min
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, smashed
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pounded thin
Salt and pepper
½ cup Silvana's All-Purpose Gluten-Free Flour Blend or your favorite gluten-free flour blend
1 cup long-grain white rice
One 14.5-ounce can (about 1½ cups) chopped tomatoes
1 cup chicken broth or water
One 8-ounce can (about 1 cup) tomato sauce, such as Muir Glen
Shredded mozzarella cheese or dairy-free substitute, for topping
¼ cup parmesan cheese or dairy-free substitute
Fresh basil leaves
In a large dutch oven, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook until golden, about 1 minute. Meanwhile, season the chicken with salt and pepper and lightly dredge in the flour blend. Working 2 at a time, add to the dutch oven and cook, turning once, until browned, about 4 minutes total. Transfer the chicken to a platter.
Add the rice to the dutch oven and stir to coat, about 2 minutes. Add the chopped tomatoes, broth and 2 teaspoons salt. Bring to a boil. Top with the chicken, some tomato sauce, basil, parmesan and mozzarella. Cover and simmer until the chicken and rice are cooked and the cheese is melted, 30 to 40 minutes.
Preheat the broiler and cook until the cheese is golden, about 3 minutes.

Consultant surgeons at a Hendon hospital are set to feature in a prestigious guide to Britain's top doctors.
Three consultants at BMI The Garden Hospital in Sunny Gardens Road have been chosen by a panel of GPs and consultants to be included in the Doctor's Guide, a supplement by Tatler magazine.
Consultant orthopaedic surgeon Panos Thomas, consultant physician Dr David Levy and consultant ear, nose and throat surgeon Elliot Benjamin are among Britain's top 250 doctors in a list of experts renowned for their skills in everything from combatting allergies to performing vascular surgery.
The Tatler guide says of Mr Thomas: "The current national tutor in orthopaedic sports surgery at the Royal College of Surgeons, Mr Thomas is a sports and knee surgeon, and was the orthopaedic specialist for the London Olympics.
"He has treated a number of elite athletes and is a consultant to several football clubs in the Premiership and all the other divisions of the Football League."
Mr Thomas said: "My colleagues and I are deeply flattered by this recognition.
"Very few jobs on the planet require 15 years of intensive training before qualification and this recognition from Tatler highlights the hard work and dedication we have shown to our respective fields throughout our career."

"I had the designer mock up a color that was not offered for preview. The proof arrived lightning fast. Then the actual magnets arrived four days ahead of schedule! We will be ordering invitations from WPD as well."
"The picture I used turned out excellent and looks exactly how I edited it to be! Can't wait to send them out to my wedding guests!"
"These magnets were perfect for our Save the Dates. The magnet was a bit smaller than I thought it would be but I wasn't disappointed. The colors on the magnet are bright and the picture was clear. Thank you, Wedding Paper Divas for a great product!"
"I had to add an additional line for the location of my venue and it was done and looked perfect. The quality of the image and product itself was great! This was a very beautiful save the date and cant wait to send them out!"
"My fiancé and I were so excited to order this particular design for our save the dates! The picture we chose, and the customized color for the background went PERFECTLY!!! I loved how great the customer service was with the order (we were able to approve the design first, as well as increase our order count without being charged for a second order!), and we received the order super fast!!!! I would highly recommend not only this design, but this company!!!"

HOUSTON - No matter what your fortune cookie reads, you probably won't be feeling lucky when you hear what health inspectors found at a Houston fortune cooking processing plant.
At Southern Noodle at 6518 Wilcrest, inspectors noted "evidence of rodent activity," including droppings in the processing areas and fresh mouse droppings on a food container storage cart. They said the equipment was filthy and there was no hot water at the sink where employees are supposed to wash their hands.
There were more rodent droppings at the United Sisters Restaurant at 8731 West Bellfort. The sisters may be united, but inspectors said they're not doing enough to put up a united front against the rodents.
At Guayaba Latin Grill on Highway 249 near 1960, inspectors found dead insects on the floors, under equipment and in a sink.
At Carrabba's on Woodway, inspectors told employees not to serve the ice from the machine with pink and tan slime build-up on the ice chute. In the bar, they say they discovered brown residuals on the soda gun nozzles.
Out east at El Huarche at 6320 Lyons, inspectors said employees put a pot of meat in the mop sink used to empty the old mop water.

Review Northeastern State University
I'm still a freshman, but so far I have loved every course I've taken. The professors make seemingly boring topics extremely interesting. They're the best at what they do and their classroom personalities, although very diverse, are genuine and positive. Class sizes are usually small enough to where you can get one on one help whenever you need it. It's very traditional, which is nice and makes me feel more at home. There are a variety of courses offered at our school, which makes choosing a minor difficult, but I love the options!
Everyone needs to live on campus at my school, at least once. Dorm life is so different but such a great experience! They're constantly working on the buildings to make sure they stay safe and easy to live in. Some dorms are better than others, have more space or better bathrooms, but overall wherever you live you're going to love at least half of your neighbors. Everyone gets along well and the RAs are fun and also super kind and helpful. Living on campus is less expensive than renting a place in town, and the housing process is smooth and seamless. It's a great option!

MOPA Honors Photojournalism with Pictures of the Year International
(San Diego, CA) February 21, 2012 – Photojournalists show us a world most people would never get to see. From war-torn countries to championship sports, their images convey some of the most inspiring moments as well as some of the most heartbreaking. The Museum of Photographic Arts, through the Pictures of the Year International exhibition, celebrates the power of these images and the people who create them.
What began as an annual competition for photojournalism in 1944, POYi has now developed into an international program that empowers the world's best documentary photographers to provide the public with a visual portrayal of society and foster an understanding of the issues facing our civilization.
With a goal of cultivating visual literacy, the Museum of Photographic Arts is a perfect location to display Pictures of the Year International. "This exhibition reflects the best images that capture the places, people and events that shape our view of the world," states Deborah Klochko, Executive Director of MOPA. "These photographs are windows into other cultures and moments of time that we may not see otherwise."
Photojournalists document the news events, social issues, and cultural trends that capture our interest and demand our attention. The exhibition, on view May 25 - October 13, 2013, recognizes their enduring images in categories ranging from general news to sports and portraiture. Each year, more than 48,000 images are submitted with 240 winners selected as the very best. An international panel of prestigious visual journalists serves as judges during a three-week review at the University of Missouri.
This year MOPA will host a small awards ceremony on Saturday morning, June 1st. Awards from a few key categories will be given out and the recipients will each give a short speech about their craft. This special event, which will be open to the public, will provide insights into the award-winning images and the photojournalists who captured them.
Pictures of the Year International is a program of the Donald W. Reynolds Journalism Institute at the Missouri School of Journalism. For additional information please visit http://www.mopa.org/poyi.
Press Opportunities: To request high-resolution images, additional information or to schedule an interview, please contact Danny Cappiello at 619.238.7559 X203 or via email firstname.lastname@example.com.
MOPA Information: MOPA is a center for visual learning, passionately dedicated to sharing and exploring the universal language of photography. Learn more at MOPA.org.

Each prisoner has 10 bottles of wine, one of which has been poisoned; and each pirate has 12 coins, one of which is counterfeit and weighs either more or less than a genuine coin. In the room is a single switch, which the prisoner may either leave as it is, or flip. Before being led into the rooms, the prisoners are all made to wear either a red hat or a blue hat; they can see all the other prisoners' hats, but not their own. Meanwhile, a six-digit prime number of monkeys multiply until their digits reverse, then all have to get across a river using a canoe that can hold at most two monkeys at a time. But half the monkeys always lie and the other half always tell the truth. Given that the Nth prisoner knows that one of the monkeys doesn't know that a pirate doesn't know the product of two numbers between 1 and 100 without knowing that the N+1th prisoner has flipped the switch in his room or not after having determined which bottle of wine was poisoned and what colour his hat is, what is the solution to this puzzle?" – heard on Car Talk

Phillips and McCoy are competing in aid of the Injured Jockeys Fund (IJF), of which McCoy is vice-patron and Phillips mother, HRH The Princess Royal, is patron.
They will go head to head in the race over a specifically-designed course of fences including a water jump. The Challenge is between jump jockeys and event riders, with two supporting teams.
Joining McCoy are seven-times champion jockey John Francome, now president of the IJF, and Sam Twiston-Davies, 21, the brightest of the new generation of young jumps jockeys.
The quartet will be completed by Richard Johnson, who is, after McCoy, the second-most successful jockey in jumps history, with more than 2000 winners.
Phillips' eventers team boasts FEI world number one William Fox-Pitt, both who have just been announced as members of Team GB eventing squad for the World Equestrian Games in Normandy in August.
Multiple Badminton and Burghley winner Sir Mark Todd, from nearby Badgerstown, and individual gold-medal winning 2009 Young Rider European champion Laura Collett complete the team.
Phillips said: "It's great to be combining the horse trials with this special event in aid of the IJF. There are so many different equestrian sports and we all respect and admire each other, especially the jump jockeys. It won't, of course, stop us giving them a good hiding at Barbury!"
McCoy added: "Every jump jockey lives with the reality that he or she is going to have a fall, on average every nine rides. Thankfully, most of the time we get up and walk away. Every now and then, it's serious, sometimes life-changing.
"The IJF does unbelievable work for hundreds of present and past riders across all disciplines. I'm honoured to be a vice patron of the fund – and to be riding on its behalf at this great event".
"We plan to put on a real show for visitors to Barbury and the other teams should expect to see just a distant rear view of us!"
The JCB Champions Challenge features on the Saturday of the horse trials, where leading event riders will be preparing for the World Equestrian Games in Normandy in August.
The Barbury International runs from July 3-6. Tickets start from £12 per person per day if booked in advance, or £15 on the gate.

Nestled amongst the copious amounts of cheese at the J.E. Gibbs stand in Findlay Market is a display case of swoon-worthy homemade fudge ($8.99/lb). There are pecan and cookie-studded varieties, but if you like peanut butter, you can't go wrong with the Chocolate Peanut Butter and Tiger Butter varieties.
The classic Chocolate Peanut Butter completely satiated those in our group who wanted a hefty nibble. It wasn't as sweet as we'd expected, and therefore easier to eat more of than the other types of fudge. Because of the darker cocoa content, the chocolate layer was a tad (just a tad) dry, but not so much so that it took attention away from the richness of the thick wedge of peanut butter. Both the chocolate and the peanut butter were pleasantly present on the tongue without one overpowering the other. Those in our group who don't like their sweets too sweet loved it—and how often can you say that fudge is not that sweet?
The Tiger Butter version, on the other hand, is immensely sweet, so much so that it was too much for the dark-chocolate lovers who tasted it. Yet because of the higher fat count in the white chocolate fudge—which made up the bulk of the bite—it was also the creamier of the two, and that texture won over those who go gaga for sugar. Though it's only a slight layer nestled between the white chocolate, the peanut butter flavor somehow came through more prominently than in the chocolate/peanut butter version, and the drizzle of dark chocolate on top of the Tiger grounded the whole thing before the bite went overboard.

HOUSTON - A reserve deputy with the Harris County Sheriff's Office shot his brother-in-law during an argument, police said.
The shooting happened shortly before 7 p.m. on Goforth and Balkin Street Tuesday.
Investigators said the reserve deputy and his wife were arguing about a motorcycle and the wife called her brother.
"It started with a domestic disturbance," said Lt. John Zitzmann with the Houston Police Department. "His wife insisted that he leave. He wouldn't so she called her brother and said, 'Come over here. My husband is giving me some trouble.'"
When the brother arrived, he got into an argument with the reserve deputy and slapped him in the face.
"He slapped the reserve officer in the face, and I guess it was just an instinctive reaction to go for his weapon and defend himself. The reserve officer discharged his weapon one time, striking his brother-in-law in the arm," said Zitzmann.
The brother-in-law was shot in the arm and transported to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, authorities said.
The reserve deputy was arrested and charged with aggravated assault.
"He had to give up his ID and his badge," Zitzmann said.
According to HPD, he has been serving as a reserve deputy for a couple of months. He was previously a civilian jailer for Harris County.
His name was not released.

'What's in a name?' Juliet exclaimed, to her star - crossed lover, Romeo, in a bid to convince him that it mattered not what one's family name was. What Juliet was saying was, that whether a Montague or Capulet, and despite the warring between the bearers of these surnames, she loved Romeo for the person he was. 'That what we call a Rose, by any other name, would smell as sweet.'
Poor Juliet Capulet was ill fated as a lover, and incontestably, family history was of no consequence to her! Hardly surprising, however, when her thwarted love life, arose because of her family history - the long running conflict between the Capulet and Montague families! Of course we know that William Shakespeare wrote his play 'Romeo and Juliet' as fiction, however there is no denying that the significance of a surname to which Shakespeare alludes, is a reflection of real life. 'What's in a name?" This question posed to family historians, would be answered inevitably, as 'the entire family tree'. The humble surname, which received such contempt from young Juliet, is the family historian's single most valuable means of identifying ancestry. Family historians trace Surnames which have been handed down from generation to generation, thus allowing us to identify our ancestors.
|My Gair ancestry.
Once upon a time there were no surnames. People lived in small communities, and were known only by a single name. Because communities were small, the likelihood of two or more people possessing the same name was rare. Many of those ancient first names have survived and will be found in our own families.. My maternal grandmother's name of Hilda was an ancient Anglo-Saxon and Germanic name meaning 'battle'. The old Anglo-Saxon name of Aelfraed, meaning 'aelf '- elf and 'raed' - counsel, endured to become the very popular name of Alfred. But imagine searching the census records today for Hilda from Nottinghamshire or Alfred from Northumberland, with no other mean of identification!
|Alfred the Great
In ancient and modest communities, first names sufficed. As communities expanded and people began to move about and become more transient, identification by a single name became confusing. Aelfraed? Which Aelfraed? People began to adorn names with a means of identification which described a particular person. For example, Aelfraed who was the son of Cuthbert became known as Aelfraed Cuthbertson, Aelfraed who dwelled by a stream was perhaps bequeathed Brook as an identifying name, Aelfraed who had black hair might have been known as Aelfraed Black, and the first Aelfraed Baker would most certainly have been a producer of bread.
The introduction of surnames began in many countries, for the purpose of census taking. In China, in about 2852 BC, the Emperor Fu Xi instituted a system of matrilineal naming, for the intent of conducting a census. Descent through patrilineal naming eventually replaced the matrilineal reference of family name in China. The Ancient Greeks often used place of origin in names, or clan names, as did the Romans, for the purpose of identification. (See below the family tree of the Roman Scipio family.)
|Family tree of Lubious Cornelius SCIPIO
In Japan, surnames were only afforded to members of nobility until the 1800's. Japanese family names are, along with the family names of many Asian countries, written first, rather than last - which is the usual practise in European and Western naming systems. Since much Asian writing is written in vertical form, the surname is often referred to as the upper name.
|Japanese surnames are known as the Upper Name
Early Norwegian surnames were, for the most part, patronymic, ( passed on from father to son) however, unlike with other European naming systems, an hereditary surname was not passed on from one generation to the next until 1923 when fixed surnames were introduced in Norway. Researching Norwegian family history prior to 1923 is a challenge. A son took his father's Christian name as a surname with 'son of' or 'sen' added to it. Thus, Jens the son of Gulbrand Christiansen would be called Jens Gulbrandsen. We can assume that Jens was not the eldest son who would have been named Christian Gulbrandsen. Daughters added the suffix 'dattir'. Mother's names could be substituted for a surname as well so it is less easy to trace Norwegian families through surnames. Below is an example of Norwegian surname practice until 1923. An interesting surname tradition in Norway also, was the use of 'farm names' as surnames. If a family lived and worked on a farm named Hummelsted, they might adopt the name of the farm as their surname. Before you think that this makes searching for family easier, bear in mind that if Norwegian families moved to a different farm, they changed the family name to that of their new place of residence.
Generation1 Gulbrand CHRISTIANSEN
First son = Christian GULBRANDSEN
Second son = Jens GULBRANDSEN
First Daughter = Anna GULBRANDDATTIR (or a girl might take her mothers Christian name as a surname)
Generation 2 Jens GULBRANDSEN*
First son = Gulbrand JENSEN
Second Son = Jens JENSON
First daughter = Agnes JENSDATTIR
*If Jens Gulbrandsen began working on a farm named Hummelsted he could very well be known henceforth as Jens Hummelsted.
Ireland was the first of the European nations to use hereditary surnames. Irish family names are a testament to Irish history dating back to the Celtic High Kings. Names usually consisted of the prefix "O" or "Mc" to denote a son or daughter of : eg O'Reilly, O'Brien, McCleary *, McDade * and although passed on from one generation to another they did not become fixed hereditary names until around the 11th century. * These surnames are in my own Irish ancestry.
Example 1. Aengus (Father)
Connor mac AENGUS (Son)
Example 2. Dairmuid
Cormack O' DAIRMUID
The introduction of surnames in England is usually accredited to the arrival of the Normans. The first evidence of the use of surnames in England can be seen in the Domesday Book; the great census conducted by William the Conqueror in 1086. At this time, surnames were only used by gentry. The French who had accompanied King William to England affixed the prefix 'de' commonly to their place of origin. These became, what is known as territorial names. Fitz was another prefix adopted by the French to signify son of or daughter of, and used by members of nobility. eg FitzWilliam, FitzWalter. The French Revolution witnessed the dropping of the 'de' from many aristocratic names leaving deNeville as Neville and de Percy as Percy, for example. It is more common to find names still employing the prefix 'de' in England than it is in France today.
|Coat of Arms of Henry de Percy
By the 15th century, most people in Britain had adopted the use of surnames as identification, although many Welsh and Scottish folk did not use family names until later than this. Some Scottish surnames were in use as early as the 12th century, however most commoners did not adopt family or last names until the 18th century. The Scottish surnames with which we are most familiar ( eg MacDonald, MacKenzie, Macleod) are the patronymic names which originated to identify the sons of fathers, using the prefix 'son' or 'Mac'. Prior to fixed surnames becoming standard practice in Scotland, the naming system was similar to that of Norwegian convention. Scottish surnames bear evidence, as do British, of external influences - the migration of the Irish to Scotland, migration of the Picts, Norsemen and Anglo - Saxons as well as the many European refugees who flocked to Scotland or who passed through Scotland on their way to America. Many refugees were forced to anglicize their names when they reached Scotland. My own Lithuanian great Uncle Antonus Usitila was difficult to trace because I knew him as Andrew Smith. The most well recognised form of surname in Scotland is, of course, the Clan name, which includes surnames such as Campbell, Donald, Gregor, Stewart, Bruce and Grant. A common misconception regarding Clan names is that everyone who bears such a surname is related to a Clan chief. This is not so, however, as clanship was actually more to do with protection than kinship relationships so many highlanders adopted the name of a powerful chief in order to secure wardship. This is where DNA testing becomes useful. I have proved descent from the Campbell Clan through DNA analysis.

If you have researched Welsh surnames you might be aware that Wales seems to have a limited number of surnames and many people who share them. This has eventuated as a result of the ancient Welsh Patronymic naming system where a son adopted his father's name prefixed by 'ap' or 'ab' meaning son of. In the instance of a daughter the prefix 'ferch' would have been used. It was common practice for a person's name to ascribe to several generations of family. For example Daffyd ap Evan ap Morgan ap Owen. During the reign of King Henry XIII, the Welsh government became incorporated into the British government and the tradition of surnames for members of Welsh gentry became popular. This witnessed the beginning of the end for the Welsh patronymic naming system as the use of surnames caught on among the common folk. Being a relatively small population, however, meant that the scope for surnames was also meagre. Many new surnames were created by combining the prefix ab or ap with a name, hence ApRhys eventually morphed into Preece or Rhys. Ab Evan became Bevan and so on. The letter 'S' was also added to first names to become surnames such as Evans, Williams, Jones, Griffiths and Owens.
Every country has its own peculiar naming traditions, and the origins of surnames is undoubtedly fascinating. For the purpose of this blog I am concentrating principally on the origins of surnames from English speaking countries, in particular Britain.
Patronymic, Matronymic or Ancestral Surnames: These are surnames which have been passed on from the father or mother to sons and daughters and often originate mainly from from male names. Adamson, Benson, Campbell, Douglas, Evans, Ferguson, FitzWalter, Griffiths, Haroldson, Jackson, Johnson, Jenkinson, (Jenkins being a pet form of the name John), Griffiths, MacDonald, Morgan, Owens, O'Reilly, Petersen, Stewart, Williams, Williamson are all surnames derived from male names.
Surnames derived from Places or Localities: Many surnames are what is known as Locative surnames. These names reflect the places where people lived or where they came from - localities, ( ie towns, manorial estates, castles, and geographical descriptions of physical aspects of the landscape itself. The simplest form of locative surname is that which describes the physical location. Thomas who lives by a lake would become known as Thomas Lake. In the same way you might find Thomas Marsh, Thomas Brook, Thomas Hill, Thomas Wood or Thomas Cliff, Fields, Grove or Dunlop ( a muddy field). Often these locative surnames had prefixes or suffixes added to them or were double barrelled n( a ames. Examples of such surnames are Woodland, Ashwood, Ashley, Ashleigh (leigh = a clearing), Underwood, Cartwright and Waterman. Other popular endings are 'field', 'fort', 'den', 'well', 'borough' and 'brook'.
Surnames also took their derivation from actual Place names. London, Taunton, Flint, Windsor and Hamilton are examples of these types of locative surnames.
Surnames derived from occupations: These surnames come from occupations or social position. Archer, Brewer, Bailey ( from bailiff), , Butcher, Baker, Baxter (a female baker), Cooper (a barrel maker), Carpenter, Carter (a person who made carts), Clarke, Cook, Farmer (can derive from a farmer or a 'fermier' who was a tax collector in the Middle Ages), Fisher, Fowler (a person who caught birds), Gardener/Gardiner, Hunter, Hawkins, Judge, Knight, proctor (a steward), Shepherd, Smith (blacksmith), Tailor/Taylor, Thatcher, Turner (a man who turned wood on a lathe), Waterman, Webster (a female weaver) Weaver.
Undoubtedly, surnames which derive from occupations are fascinating as they allow us a glimpse into the working lives of our ancestors. The name Leach in my own family, for example, implies that somewhere in my ancient ancestry was quite likely a doctor. Some occupational surnames are less obvious to us today as having origins in the employment of an ancestor. The English language has evolved over time and occupations have changed since industrialisation. Many old occupations simply do not exist anymore. You might not recognise today, that Chandler comes from a person who was a candle maker, or that Fletcher means a maker of arrows. It requires some understanding of what types of occupations were relevant in the times when surnames first became a part of common usage.
Surnames which describe person characteristics: These names are possibly the most personally informative surnames as they imply actual physical descriptions of attributes of the first ancestor to bear the name. Hence they are known as descriptive surnames. John Stout was not likely to have been a thin man. White, Black, Brown and Red leave little to the imagination as to the colour hair of an ancestor and Little, Strong, Tallman and Wise are evidence of the stature and intelligence of our ancestors. Scottish names, although physically descriptive may not be as obvious, as is a name such as Armstrong. Campbell is an example of a Scottish clan name which is also descriptive, meaning 'one who has a crooked mouth'. If your ancestor was a Puttock, then you may have to come to terms with the fact that he was regarded as being greedy. The name Young most likely does not refer to eternal youth, but the first John Young was probably the son of an older John , as in John the Younger. Don't panic if your ancestor was Thomas Longbottom, however. Let me assure you that although Thomas may sound somewhat strange in shape, this surname in fact, is a place name, referring to one who lived in a dell or valley.
|Thomas Longbottom most likely did not have a drooping behind!
Surname origins are most intriguing. Spending the time to research your family names can be very rewarding and you may discover more about ancestors than you expected to. It is important to thoroughly research your surnames. Don't assume that your long line of Daft family come from a stupid ancestor because you will discover that 'daft' actually described a meek and gentle person in medieval times.
I have to wonder whether Shakespeare knew more of the origins of surnames than he has been given credit for in his famous tragedy, Romeo and Juliet. The surname Capulet is an old English /French name referring to one who dwells in a wooded area beside a Chapel. This, to me, lends an air of romance to Juliet's character. So, what of Romeo, then, with his surname of Montague? The name Montague originates in France from the old French words Mont Agin (Montagne) meaning mountain. What name, more a symbol of strength, than a tall mountain for Romeo? Or was a mountain a metaphor for their insurmountable love?
Clearly there was more to Mr Shakespeare than an ancestor who fiercely brandished a weapon, when he wrote those infamous words, "What's in a name?" And, given that 'that what we call a rose ... would smell as sweet' referred less to a flower, than a grand joke on the playwright's part referring to the stinking open sewer outside the Rose Theatre where his play was performed, who knows where the origin of the surname Rose lies?

A DRUNKEN woman is facing jail after she knocked out a police officer's teeth as she tried to calm down a rowdy gang.
Burnley magistrates heard alleged ringleader Suzanne Marie Porter stepped in front of a moving police van and exposed her buttocks when officers turned up to deal with the early hours trouble.
Prosecutors said the 25-year-old's equally intoxicated brother, Gary David Place, 29, was also part of a group of 10 causing trouble in Clitheroe town centre.
He threatened police with her stiletto shoes and had been taken to the ground before Porter hit PC Kirstie Pitcher, knocking her off her feet and over her brother, the court heard.
Prosecutor Claire Harris said: "She feels immediate pain to her face and realises her teeth have been knocked out and are loose. She spat them out into her hand."
She has had £1,300 of dental treatment and more is yet to come. She is also awaiting surgery on damage to her nose which has restricted her breathing.
Porter, of Highfield Road, Clitheroe, admitted assault causing actual bodily harm on May 12.
She was committed to Burnley Crown Court for sentence and was warned she could be sent to prison.
Place, of Pendle Avenue, Chatburn, admitted using threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour and was fined £75 with £85 costs and a £20 victim surcharge.
Miss Harris said at 1am police were called to a large group causing a nuisance and were driving down Wellgate when Porter ran into the middle of the road.
PC Pitcher followed in the van, pulled up and got out and chased her to challenge her about urinating in the street and showing her bottom to officers.
Place was taken to the ground and arrested.
PC Pitcher left Porter and went to assist her colleague moments before she was punched in the face.
The officer was taken to Royal Blackburn Hospital, where it was found she had a broken front tooth, three loose teeth, damage to her nose and shoulder pain. She was off work a month.
Imran Hussain, defending, said the assault on the officer was clearly very serious and unpleasant.

Commander Kyle was a male Starfleet officer in the 23rd century. He served aboard the USS Enterprise between 2267 and 2270 under the command of Captain James T. Kirk, during the historic five-year mission. He held the rank of lieutenant during the historic five-year mission. In 2285, he was a commander assigned to the USS Reliant under the command of Captain Clark Terrell. (TOS: "Tomorrow is Yesterday", "Space Seed", "Who Mourns for Adonais?", "The Doomsday Machine"; TAS: "Beyond the Farthest Star", "Bem"; Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan)
Starfleet service Edit
Kyle was assigned primarily to the operations division. His main duties on the Enterprise included transporter chief and engineering assistant. He was also trained to operate the helm and the science station. (TOS: "The Apple", "The Immunity Syndrome", "Who Mourns for Adonais?") He later served as the communications officer on the Reliant. (Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan)
He was threatened in the transporter room by John Christopher when the United States Air Force pilot pointed a phaser at him and demanded to be beamed down to Earth after the Enterprise accidentally hurled back in time to the year 1969. Kirk disarmed Christopher and prevented the escape. After an airbase staff sergeant was inadvertently beamed aboard, he served him chicken soup from the food slot before the return voyage to 2267. (TOS: "Tomorrow is Yesterday")
He was in the same room when Lieutenant Marla McGivers threatened him with a phaser on stardate 3141.9. He was rendered unconscious by Khan Noonien Singh as the 20th century despot enacted his plan to hijack the Enterprise. He later recovered from this ordeal. (TOS: "Space Seed")
He was assaulted in the transporter room by a cordrazine-crazed Doctor Leonard McCoy later that year. Lieutenant Galloway discovered him unconscious on the floor. He was later revived. (TOS: "The City on the Edge of Forever") He beamed aboard a dead Lieutenant Jackson during the mission to Pyris VII. (TOS: "Catspaw")
He assisted First Officer Spock in finding a weakness in Apollo's force field on stardate 3468.1. (TOS: "Who Mourns for Adonais?") He also aided Lieutenant Commander Montgomery Scott in loosening Vaal's hold on the starship on stardate 3715.3. (TOS: "The Apple") He inadvertently beamed aboard the mirror universe counterparts of Kirk, McCoy, Scott and Lieutenant Nyota Uhura when an ion storm on the Halkan homeworld disrupted the transporting process. (TOS: "Mirror, Mirror")
He beamed a damage control party over to the USS Constellation and returned them safely to the Enterprise during the battle with a "planet killer" on stardate 4202.1. (TOS: "The Doomsday Machine") He was too sedated to work the transporter controls that Kirk and Spock had to beam a Redjac-possessed Hengist out into deep space. (TOS: "Wolf in the Fold")
He was at the helm during the Enterprise's journey through the space amoeba on stardate 4307.1. (TOS: "The Immunity Syndrome") He sent a landing party over to Memory Alpha and beamed them safely back after the planetoid was attacked by non-corporeal Zetarians. (TOS: "The Lights of Zetar")
Later that year, Kyle grew a mustache. He transported Kirk, Spock, McCoy and Scott over to an insectoid ship on stardate 5221.3. He locked onto them when explosions erupted aboard the alien vessel and returned them safely to the Enterprise. (TAS: "Beyond the Farthest Star") He transported a cosmic cloud's villi into Scott's force field box to regenerate the ship's antimatter reserves on stardate 5371.3. (TAS: "One of Our Planets Is Missing") He also beamed aboard Carter Winston, not realizing that the long-lost philanthropist was in fact an imposter. (TAS: "The Survivor")
After temporarily succumbing to the effects of Harry Mudd's love crystals, he transported Kirk and Spock down to a planetoid to rescue Nurse Christine Chapel. (TAS: "Mudd's Passion") He assisted the bridge crew on stardate 5577.3 when Lieutenant Hikaru Sulu broke a leg in a fall. (TAS: "The Terratin Incident") On stardate 7403.6, he beamed down a landing party with Pandronian representative Ari bn Bem on a scouting mission to Delta Theta III. (TAS: "Bem")
By stardate 8130.4, Kyle sported a goatee and served aboard the Reliant as a communications officer. While in orbit around Ceti Alpha V, he was unable to communicate with Terrell and Commander Pavel Chekov on the planet surface, not realizing that they had encountered Khan and his followers. He was stranded on the planet when Khan hijacked the Reliant. He and the rest of the Reliant crew were later rescued by the Enterprise after Khan was defeated in the Battle of the Mutara Nebula on stardate 8141.6. (Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan)

Background information Edit
Kyle was a recurring character played by English-born actor John Winston. He first appeared in "Tomorrow is Yesterday" and was given onscreen credit as "Transporter Chief". He had no set identity until Spock addressed him as "Lieutenant Kyle" in "Who Mourns for Adonais?".
Kyle was originally set to appear in "The Tholian Web", but Winston was not available at the time the episode was filmed, so the character was replaced by O'Neil (Sean Morgan). (These Are the Voyages: TOS Season Three)
For the Animated Series, he had a mustache and was voiced by James Doohan. The script for "Beyond the Farthest Star" mentioned that the character had to be voiced with a British accent. Winston wore a goatee when he reprised the role of Kyle for Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.
Christopher Doohan, son of James Doohan, stated on his Twitter account that he portrayed Kyle for his uncredited cameo in the film Star Trek.
Apocrypha Edit
Kyle was born on Earth. According to the comic book "Who's Who in Star Trek 1", he was born in Adelaide, Australia and his father was a sales representative for one of Earth's largest transportation companies. The novel Traitor Winds established his birthplace as Sydney, Australia. The video game Star Trek: Starship Creator mentioned that he was born in Sheffield, England in 2241.
"Who's Who in Star Trek" stated that he attended Perth Engineering College. His personnel file in Star Trek: Starship Creator noted that he graduated from Starfleet Academy in 2263. He was assigned to the USS Bull Run as a transporter technician. He was promoted to lieutenant junior grade after receiving his starship pilot certificate in 2264. He was transferred to the Enterprise as a lieutenant and was estranged from his wife, Rebbecca, and his two daughters, Susan and Dawn, who lived in New Berlin, Luna.
According to Star Trek: Starship Creator, he was assigned to the USS Bozeman in 2278 and became the senior helmsman. He was awarded the Citation for Bravery in 2280 for piloting a shuttle and clearing a safe path for the Bozeman out of a Tholian minefield. He was promoted to lieutenant commander in 2281 and named second officer of the Bozeman. He was transferred to the USS Reliant in 2284 at the request of Chekov and became second officer.
"Who's Who in Star Trek" stated that he was assigned to the USS Hood after the events of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. The novel The Fire and the Rose mentioned that he attended Kirk's memorial service at Starfleet Academy in 2293 during the events of Star Trek Generations.
There were inconsistencies with regards to Kyle's first name. In "Who's Who in Star Trek", his first name was Thomas. According to FASA's Star Trek: The Role Playing Game, it was Winston – an apparent reference to John Winston. The novels Present Tense and The Fire and the Rose state that it was John – another apparent tribute to the actor who portrayed him.
