MIDDLETOWN -- Richard Tucker and Jesse Meldrum scored 21 points apiece, each player hitting five 3-pointers, as the Lower Lake Trojans stunned the Middletown Mustangs 67-65 in the North Central League I opener for both of these varsity boys' basketball teams on Wednesday night in Middletown.
Lower Lake's win comes just 13 days after the Trojans (1-0 league, 6-7 overall) lost 71-46 to Middletown in the second round of the 19th annual Record-Bee Hoop Classic at Lower Lake.
"We watched that game film a lot," Lower Lake coach Tim Biasotti said. "We worked hard on what we needed to change. We were getting much easier shots because of better team play all around."
Lower Lake had a 67-60 lead in the final seconds.
While Tucker and Meldrum stole the show for the Trojans, Biasotti said the play of Zane Kazaka and Stephan Greathouse figured prominently in the road win.
"Kazaka and Greathouse played the high and low post and they worked hard," Biasotti said. "They did a good job of feeding the ball outside (to Tucker and Meldum). Even though those two didn't have a lot of points (Kazaka had four and Greathouse two) they had a huge impact on the game."
Dylan Thomas joined teammates Tucker and Meldrum in double figures with 11 points and James Clark, who was in foul trouble from the outset, had eight.
Middletown (0-1, 8-4) played the game without point guard Ben Pike (sprained ankle), but Mustangs coach G.J. Rockwell said they also were without Pike when they convincingly beat Lower Lake in the Hoop Classic.
"You just have to hand it to them, they played great," Rockwell said of the Trojans. "They shot incredible and they were making them (3-pointers) from deep. They had a heck of a game."
The key, according to Rockwell, was Lower Lake's 11 3-pointers on the night compared to Middletown's three.
"When you trade twos for threes, that's what happens," Rockwell said. "Everybody played hard for me. It's just a little bit of a downer because it was our (league) opener at home."
Tyler Rockwell scored 22 points to power the Mustangs. Anthonie Guzman added 14, including two of the team's 3-pointers, and Nate Snodgrass added 10.
With 13 league games remaining, Middletown has plenty of time to recover, according to Rockwell.
"It's one of 14," he said. "It's not a sprint."
In other boys' action Wednesday:
Fort Bragg 71, Clear Lake 51
At Fort Bragg, the Fort Bragg Timberwolves spoiled Clear Lake's NCL I opener with a 20-point win on the Mendocino County coast.
"We just got outplayed," Clear Lake coach Scott De Leon said. "It's really frustrating and disappointing because we had a solid second half against Hoopa (on Saturday in the Fort Bragg Tournament) and a good practice yesterday."
While Adrian Perez scored 22 points to lead the Cardinals (0-1, 6-7), no other Cardinal had more than Danny Partida's nine points. Andrew Jackson and Gabe Strong each finished with eight.
"Fort Bragg just wanted the game more than us and that's something we're going to have to work on," De Leon said.
The Timberwolves took an eight-point lead into the fourth quarter and outscored the Cardinals 18-6 in the final period.
"I should have had them better prepared for pressure defense," De Leon said.

Topic: head spinning from diagnosis
hi all,
I never ever expected to be on a support forum for CCC. A week ago I had never heard of it.
My darling husband, Ron, has had CLL for a number of years, but had no symptoms at all, and really excellent blood levels. I knew that this was a slow moving disease and that he would probably go on for years, and that eventually, many years hence, either CLL or old age would take him. I never ever dreamed of something like this.
Around Thanksgiving, he started to feel more tired, but we attributed it to high stress levels at work. After Christmas he started to feel really dreadful and went to the doctor. He had blood tests done which revealed very high liver enzymes but not much else. He had a CT scan on the 10th of January which showed nothing suspicious. We were referred to a gastroenterologist who thought it might be autoimmune hepatitis or a couple of other things, and last Monday, his belly really bloated, and became really painful. She ordered an ultrasound, and when it revealed a large amount of ascites, he was hospitalized so that all the testing could be done quickly.
The ultrasound showed blood clots in the liver, and I was really rooting for it to be Budd-Chiari syndrome, but the MRCP the next day revealed a mass around the bile duct high inside the liver which is impinging on the portal vein. They gave us a preliminary diagnosis of intrahepatic CCC and this was confirmed by the biopsy.
We saw our oncologist yesterday. He told us that the cytology reports on the fluid they drew from his abdomen revealed that the cancer has spread. The gastroenterologist wanted to perform an endoscopy but he is so weak, and so sick, he really didn't want to do it. We felt that if there was no therapeutic value for doing it, but just confirming what was known, it was just not worth it.
He told us that the disease is very advanced. My darling is so weak, and so terribly sick that he asked me just to ask all the questions and be his voice. This is not like him. He is quiet and calm but very definitely in charge of things. Not now. He is just exhausted, and his pulse is running very high all the time.
He is going to start chemo and we are both hoping that it can maybe give him some relief and possibly a little time. The doctor told me privately that given Ron's weakness, we could lose him within weeks. I feel just blindsided. How do we go from a non suspicious ct scan to stage 4 cancer in 4 weeks???
Is this normal? It feels just so crazy that I keep expecting that someone will wake me up and tell me that it's all just a dream. I'm so glad I found this site. I am feeling terribly afraid.

USAnarchy wrote:How to Download Feldberg Putting Clinic
1) Go into your favorite internet browser and change the size of your browser cache. I would recommend 500MB or so.
2) Let the video load in your browser window. Just click play and let it play until the whole video is cached on your system. in this case, you will see the progress bar that shows how far into the video you are turn from a bar with slashes [/////////] slowly start to turn to a full gray bar. Once the bar is fully gray from start to finish you can now stop the video. (the video will load fully before it is done playing)
3) Go to the location of your cached files for your browser. Each browser is different, but your good friend Google can help you turn up a result or two on where in your system files the cache folder is located.
4) Open the folder. Sort by file size. You should see a really huge file (around 250MB or so, or that would roughly be 260,000,000 bytes) with the extension of mp4. It will have some funky random characters as a name. Example: E9aser78g09asdh34erk.mp4
5) Copy file to a new location. After it gets done transferring to this new location, you can rename it. Make sure to keep the MP4 extension.
6) Enjoy your own personal copy of the putting clinic! If you need to convert the file to a different format, i would suggest an open source converter such as Handbrake. Then you can create an AVI file, or what not, and then rip to DVD.
Hope this helps, and remember, Google is always your friend.
or...just get Firefox and the Download Helper extension

Please note: Packages are shipped out on business days. The following are holidays and considered to be non-business days:
Drop-ship items are shipped directly from the manufacturer, not from the Karmaloop Warehouse. All drop-ship orders are sent within 10 days from when the order is placed, excluding weekends. Drop-ship delivery takes approximately 5-10 business days. Because we are shipping from an external location, some restrictions apply:

The delivery time for ground shipments is 4-7 business days.

In order to ship items considered to be hazardous materials by air, including ORM-D/Hazmat Consumer Commodity items, the shipper must be licensed as a hazardous materials shipper. Karmaloop does not have the licensing required to do so and due to this we will not ship by air.
ORM-D/Hazmat material is a limited quantity of a hazardous material that presents a low risk of hazard during transportation due to its form, quantity and packaging. The proper shipping name for all ORM-D/Hazmat is "Consumer Commodity." Not every hazardous material permitted to be shipped as a limited quantity can qualify as an ORM-D/Hazmat material. The ORM-D/Hazmat category is recognized for use within the US only. ORM-D/Hazmat materials cannot be sent via international mail. It is packaged in a form intended or suitable for retail sale. Often, the material may be mildly hazardous, but when combined with other hazardous substances, it may present a significant risk. One example is a can of compressed air. Often when cans of compressed air are shipped by airplane, because of the reduced atmospheric pressure resulting from flying at high altitudes, the can will explode. While an exploding can of compressed air may not present a significant danger in itself, it can pose a great danger if it explodes in proximity to other volatile products.
Unfortunately we will not ship ORM-D/Hazmat items internationally. Because all international orders are shipped via air travel, ORM-D/Hazmat cannot be shipped outside of the US at this time.

WARNINGThis article applies to Parallels Virtuozzo Containers for Linux 3.0 and 4.0 only.
Parallels Containers 4.6 has a service container with the only process to enable offline management and this article will not work for version 4.6.
Instead of recreating service containers, it is possible to reinstall the PVA Agent on the Parallels Containers 4.6 host.
Refer to these articles for more details:
6965 Service Container has only single 'init' process
9445 How to install/reinstall/upgrade to PVA 4.6 Agent on a PVC 4.x for Linux HW Node
ResoluitonIf you are using Parallels Infrastructure Manager (PIM), please make sure that you have the recent backup of your PIM infrastructure, as described in the article How to backup and restore Parallels Infrastructure Manager.
You may create the Service Container on a Parallels Virtuozzo Containers hardware node using 'vzsveinstall' utility:
# vzsveinstall -D DISTRIB_DIR -s SERVICE_CT_IP
- DISTRIB_DIR - path to Virtuozzo distribution directory hierarchy on a server. F.e. if you have the Virtuozzo distributive on your server in the directory /root/Rel400 then DISTRIB_DIR should be /root/Rel400/;
- SERVICE_CT_IP - IP address to be assigned to Service Container;
If you have downloaded Virtuozzo distributive already (example for 64-bit PVC 4.0) as file "virtuozzo-4.0.0-${build_version}-x86_64.sfx", please extract it in the following way:
# mkdir -p /vz/full_distr
# bash /path/to/virtuozzo-4.0.0-${build_version}-x86_64.sfx -d /vz/full_distr --extract
You may then create the Service Container using this command (make sure the old Service Container #1 does not exist):
# vzsveinstall -v -D /vz/full_distr -s SERVICE_CT_IP
Please refer to the main page on 'vzsveinstall' utility for additional information.
Please note - OS template 'redhat-as3-minimal' must be installed on a hardware node and cached before the Service Container may be created. If you have not installed the template on a node, please do the following:
- install OS template 'redhat-as3-minimal', corresponding RPM package is located in the folder 'virtuozzo/SVE' inside Virtuozzo distrib (in Virtuozzo 3.x it is the folder 'HW/SVE');
- create OS template cache using 'vzpkgcache' command on a node.
Please make sure you have the latest version of the OS template 'redhat-as3-minimal' installed on the hardware node before Service Container re-creation, e.g.:
# vzpkgls | grep minimal
The latest versions of the 'minimal' OS template are the following:
Virtuozzo 3.0: 20050622
Parallels Virtuozzo Containers 4.0: 20080630
You may run 'vzup2date', and update your node. For a manual update, please find 'minimal' template in /vz/vzup2date directory and install it using 'rpm -Uhv path_to_minimal_template_rpm_package' command, e.g. for 64-bit PVC 4.0:
# rpm -Uhv /vz/vzup2date/4.0.0/TU-4.0.0-438/redhat-as3-minimal-x86_64-p5nfs-tmpl-4.0.1-3.swsoft.x86_64.rpm
If the Virtuozzo server has been updated since the very first release (using 'vzup2date' utility or manually), then you need to apply all needed updates to the Service Container as well. Updates downloaded by 'vzup2date' utility are usually located under /vz/vzup2date/3.0.0/TU-3.0.0-* dirs on a Virtuozzo server. You may apply them to the Service Container using 'vzsveupgrade' utility using following two commands:
# find /vz/vzup2date/virtuozzo -path "*/$(awk '{gsub(/-.*$/,"",$NF);print $NF}' /etc/virtuozzo-release)/*/virtuozzo-tools*$(uname -i)*" -printf "%h\n" |sort -u |xargs -rn1 vzsveupgrade -d
# find /vz/vzup2date/pim -path "*/$(awk '{gsub(/-.*$/,"",$NF);print $NF}' /etc/virtuozzo-release)/*/virtuozzo-tools*$(uname -i)*" -printf "%h\n" |sort -u |xargs -rn1 vzsveupgrade -d
If you need to re-create the Service Container, then you may destroy the existing one using 'vzctl destroy 1' command (container must be stopped first), then create it from the scratches and apply available updates as it is described above.
The main point is to have the packages 'vzagent-opcontrol' (on the node) and 'vzagent-srvcontrol' (inside service container) with the same version/release:
# rpm -q vzagent-opcontrol; vzctl exec 1 rpm -q vzagent-srvcontrol
Example of the output for Virtuozzo 3.0:

Los Angeles Angels first baseman Albert Pujols will make his Cactus League debut this afternoon at DH, according to the Orange County Register.
Pujols is recovering from offseason knee surgery, and his timetable has been largely a mystery in camp thus far. Last week, he told the Los Angeles Times that he would be ready for the start of the regular season even if he didn't get one at-bat in an exhibition game.
At that time, there was speculation that Pujols, who had yet to run the bases, was at least two weeks away from playing in games.
Pujols, 33, hit .285/.343/.516 with 30 homers and 105 RBIs in 154 games last season, his first with the Angels after signing a 10-year, $240 million contract.
The Orange County Register also notes that this afternoon will be the first time the Angels have started their projected opening-day outfield of Mike Trout, Josh Hamilton and Peter Bourjos this spring.

For all watching the USA - Brazil game, you know why I like this guy.
He is a 29 year old PG, and he passes like Rondo and Nash. He is picking apart the USA on offense and I think he would fit perfectly with the Pacers. For those that know, what are the rules for signing foreign playing players, or do they have to be drafted? This guy went undrafted in the Danny Granger draft. If Augustin doesn't pan out and with Tyler and West coming off the books, should the Pacers try to buy him out (if that is how it works)?

The goal of the No Child Left Inside Act is to ensure that every student achieves a basic understanding of the environment. To do this, the No Child Left Inside Act provides incentives to state departments of education to create environmental literacy plans that promote environmental education in schools, develop standards for teaching the subject and focus on teacher training and professional development. The legislation would be funded at $100 million a year and amend the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. You can support the No Child Left Inside Act by contacting your Members of Congress or joining the national No Child Left Inside Coalition.
Since 1990, the National Environmental Education Act at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has provided national leadership to increase environmental literacy throughout the United States. Since its creation, the Act has supported the Environmental Education and Training Partnership, the National Environmental Education Foundation, an environmental education grant program, National Public Lands Day, and other environmental education initiatives. The National Wildlife Federation and its partners are working to reauthorize this Act and increase funding levels. Visit EPA's website to learn more about these environmental education programs.
The Ocean, Coastal and Watershed Education Act (H.R. 3644) was passed in the House on March 19th and is awaiting Senate action. This legislation advances awareness and appreciation of coastal watersheds and emphasizes stewardship of critical marine resources. In addition, the legislation authorizes and strengthens both the Environmental Literacy Grants and Bay-Watershed Education and Training program at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Visit NOAA's website to learn more.
The National Wildlife Federation is a strong supporter of the U.S. Forest Service's Conservation Education program. The Conservation Education program is a vital component of the Forest Service, serving as a critical link between the people and their public lands. The program is committed to developing an environmentally literate citizenry to sustain the Nation's forests and grasslands, public or private.

Anxiety and Stress Disorders
Stress and Weight Loss
I have recently been stressed at work and this has been going on for 3-4 weeks. I am also taking medicine for HypoT. I have lost 8 lbs. in the past two weeks. I can`t seem to shake the stress. I feel that most is self inflicted stress but am wondering if the levothyroxine could be contributing to this.
It is possible that the levothyroxine could contribute to anxiety if the dose is too high. A simple blood test can tell you for sure whether or not this is the case. It sounds like the stress you are feeling is probably not related to the levothyroxine.

Remember that some readers of this forum may not have been on the new ride yet, so be mindful that your review could contain spoilers. If this is the case, please use the Insert Spoiler feature in the "Insert Special Item" drop box when you write your review.
Here's mine - mostly all spoilers - and some photos are on the https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10151689438719402.1073741831.12078464401&type=1&l=88e4db295c.
Yesterday I lost count of how many times I said "wow", either out loud or in my head. In the last 24 hours I've tried to put it all into context and compare it to other themed rides I've been on. The closest I can get to making sense of it is that it actually felt like I was in Europa-Park.... Roland is going to be jealous!
As soon as you enter X-Sector, the entertainment begins with this ride. It is visually stunning, with so much to take in and process. My eyes and head were battling in a struggle between "just how does that train get from there to there?" and "arrrrgh too much to see!"
(Unfortunately this is where the essay of spoilers begins....Highlight the text if you want to read it.)
Queue-line, bag drop, station:
The main queue line (lets forget that we had to queue up towards the Towers/back of the Fried Chicken Co. shop with temporary barriers) fabulously makes use of the dead space beneath the rollercoaster itself. I found myself ducking and jumping out of my skin many times when a train went over my head. Getting so close to so much of a coaster is just an unreal experience. You can hear the screams and cheers of the guests (it did feel like a bit of a carnival in the sun with so many people pleased to be finally getting on the ride) which in turn made it even more exciting to get onto the ride. Also you quickly notice how the two trains on the track appear to duel (whilst another two are in the station), racing alongside each other and crossing at many points. Simply amazing to watch!
However that isn't all there is to this queue line. Videos on screens in several place, separate to the main Marmaliser scrolling screen, immerse visitors with more Ministry of Joy/Get Corrected style propaganda. Even for the long period for which I queued I rarely saw the same bit of video twice.
Scan points for The Smiler game were on some supports and walls. The ones on the supports were not as successfully scanned though.
And optical trickery meant that otherwise pointless paint work on supports and concrete instead spelt "Smile. Always" and "Join Us" at certain spots in the queue. Genius.
Staff were also on top form, with one half way through making guests jump, staring at them eerily, and photo bombing like pros.
A boring side note - there is a queueline shop. Not so boring though, as the cups are all branded with The Smiler on it, and it looks the part, not just a metal shipping container dumped there.
I'm all ready to head into the building for the bag drop. But outside I'm greeted with an airport scanner and a TV saying that guests are "about to be subject to Optical Procedures", listing a bizarre list of conditions I may develop which include, but not limited to, "yellow headaches", "permanent hiccups" (anyone who's had the pleasure of drinking alcohol in my company know that I suffer from this anyway... in your face Ministry of Joy), "brain spasms", and "wobbly fingers". I am suitably confused as I walk through the rubber curtains into a pitch black room.
No bag drop.
Just an amazing array of projected animated optical illusions, all in The Smiler palette of yellow white and black. Stunning. Let me reiterate, these aren't just your run of the mill optical illusions. Abstract plaster sculptures are stuck on the wall, and the projections use these to make the effects even more trippy. Yes, my brain is definitely in spasm over this. You're in here for a good 5 to 10 minutes before being batched through to the traditional bag drop (Thirteen style shed).
Now the first time I went round I was just ushered up the down-lit stairs, but on my second "correction" staff were again being used to trick the soon-to-be advocates and make them feel delightfully freaked out before riding.
And so... you enter the station. A sanitary white dentists surgery is the closest comparison I have to it. You're batched (disappointingly we were told you can't queue for the front row) and soon enough the trains come around and you're invited on to get corrected. Over the shoulder restraints were comfy enough, but the lack of belt clip felt a bit odd. The operator sits above you, staring down at the next guests to be subject to The Smiler.
The ride itself:
The dentist lights flash, the gates open, and steam pours out from the dark entry.
Your train rolls forward before swooping downwards on a large over-banked turn and into the first roll. Laughs great you as come to a halt at the bottom of the lift hill. Out of the building and up you go, there's no going back and you're soon through the first set of inversions!
Its such a blur... I can't remember them each blow-by-blow (apologies, it was just too good!). You get a breather at the bottom of the vertical lift hill, with more propaganda telling you that correction hasn't completed yet. You're transported up the vertical lift hill, and round two kicks off. I'd say that towards the end of the ride, the last couple of inversions are not as comfortable as the rest but its still far better to other Gerstlauer coasters in terms of comfort and lack of "head rattle".
Coming back into the station, it didn't feel like you'd just been inverted 14 times - it was a very surreal feeling. But the desperation to re-ride was there - I just wanted to go around again!
Exit of ride, the shop and other bits:
However, don't be tricked, this is not the end of the experience. Up the exit stairs, you are then taken down a tunnel decorated in a disorientating chevron pattern. Oh yes, the optical illusions continue! At bag collection, you wonder for a split second where to exit the room, as its very cleverly obscured until you get to the far wall. A dark corridor filled with unusual gobo lighting including The Smiler logo completes your ride and returns you to the shop.
But yet again, no stopping Alton Towers here, even the shop is amazing! A large bank of Picsolve screens is your first view (and blank screens, which I believe are for on-ride DVDs that aren't available yet) but in the rest of the shop there is a fake shopping channel showing you all the merchandise available (which states that there are on ride DVDs) and fantastic screens which show you what it would be like to wear a few of the items, including the hat, the glasses, and the bear's head (one not to be missed!). And the "reveal" mugs are available in here now too. Oh, and we even bumped into Dr Kelman himself in the shop!
The Challenge the Smiler game is just off the ride exit - we didn't hear any pressure selling of the game, which was a nice bit of relief, and it didn't appear to spoil the area.
As for queue times, our first morning ride was 1.5 hours (which included the 9am to 10am ERT slot), and second ride 2.75 hours (staff were telling people 3 to 3.5 hours) which included a small period of downtime (about 20 to 30 mins in total). SRQ is available - staff were telling people it halved the wait time but I didn't use it so unsure.
So yes.... amazing. Its definitely going to be an Alton Towers icon. Looking forward to seeing how it rides later in the year after it has bedded in, and night time rides will be so amazing. I agree that some of the paintwork on the supports already needs attention, as does The Marmaliser's screen. But when there's so much to look at and keep your attention, I really didn't care!
Well done to all staff at Alton Towers/Merlin for the attention to detail and entertainment that this ride provides. It may have been a challenge to get it ready and open, but the wait was definitely worth it!
I am certainly a smiling advocate.
Great Review Jayne!
I had the pleasure of joining Jayne and the rest of the ATA Team on the park yesterday and can fully agree with everything in that review, It's a great ride and a fantastic addition to the Resort. The extra effort put into the theme, the effects and the immersive queue line really make it very special.
An end of-the-day ride was in order for me, with a 1hr 40 minute wait after joining the queue at just after 5pm and this was the shortest the queue had been all day. As our ATA quick tips say, it's the queue that closes not the ride at the end of the day. If you can stay that little bit longer, get in the smiler queue just before park close
On my end of the day ride the pre bag drop batching staff were even going out of the way to freak guests out in the Optical Effects room by dropping a Smiler themed bin into the floor to make a loud bang that gave everyone a fright!
I was a little disappointed that the Smiler Game AR Scannable images weren't working right, because they were wrapped around a support my phone just couldn't understand them. The ones printed flat, worked like a charm!
I was also lucky enough to get the front row on each of my correctional visits and you get a great view from there, one second you are looking at track whizzing by, then ground, then sky, then a face full of water from the inoculator... brilliant
The restraints were comfy, but not designed for arms-in-the-air-riding, my shoulders and forearms were quite battered on my first ride. On my second time around I held the restraint handles and had a much better ride. The coaster geek in my now really wants to try the back row out - another day, another day.
The technical geek in me loved spotting some of the great bits of engineering from Gerstlauer. The dynamic trim braking, only applying trim to the train when it needed it to keep the speed going. The use of magnetic brakes, even on the lift hills, to reduce the ride noise (A rollback on the vertical lift hill is going to be a scary thing if it happens, think a Rita/Stealth rollback, but from a vertical position!)
I'm looking forward to seeing how the ride 'Ages' and if Alton can keep everything working well. Based on the park's history of being a bit lax with maintenance of ride 'Extras' it could be a tough job, only time will tell.
The ride has great potential to be a very special experience for Scarefest. With no permanent lighting fitted in the queue or ride area as part of the build I hope Alton re-create the impressive light display used to promote the finished construction stage earlier in the year, It could look stunning in the dark!
I now belong to The Smiler!

I'm actually pretty excited about this Mississippi legislative bill that would declare every everyone, including a fertilized embryo, a "person" in order to essentially turn abortion into murder, because these morons obviously know nothing about the law of unintended consequences. Here are the arguments I wanna see made in Mississippi if the law passes:
• If I were an illegal aliens, I would get knocked up and stay knocked up. Any child conceived in Mississippi, under that law, would be entitled to all the protections of law, including citizenship. Their mothers can't be deported because that would deny the rights of the unborn (but legal) child. The embryo would also be entitled to state benefits from the moment conceived. In fact, you could just claim it with a home pregnancy test.
• If an embryo is a human and frozen as part of in vitro, I would open a huge embryo storage warehouse in a remote area of the state. I would then declare all of these embryos, as "people," entitled to be counted in the census and for purposes of congressional representation. Same with all the pregnant women. Suddenly, maybe a few hundred voting-aged folks will be entitled to several congressmen … maybe even in minority districts. (Wouldn't it be funny if all the embryos were of white babies, but all the adults voters were minorities? The district would be technically not minority, but the practical political effect would be that it was.)
• If you can prove that a Mississippi resident was pregnant and went to another state to have an abortion, then returned to Mississippi, I don't see why you couldn't prosecute that woman for murder.
• Since the embryo is a person, those exceptions pro-lifers are always willing to concede — health/life of the mother, rape, incest — cannot be used. I can't wait until the daughter of head of the Republican party has an ectopic pregnancy, or a serious condition that makes carrying a baby life-threatening. She can go to jail for saving her own life and see how Daddy feels about it. Or she can die. Her choice.
Welcome to the world of your narrow-minded bigotry, folks.

Former Northwich cricket captain awarded MBE in honour's list
8:00am Monday 6th January 2014
By Alex Bysouth
8:00am Monday 6th January 2014
By Alex Bysouth
A FORMER Northwich cricket captain and Hartford resident has been recognised on the New Year's honours list.
John Pickup MBE, who was recently made honorary president of Cheshire County Cricket Club, received the honour for his voluntary services to community cricket.
The 76-year-old is also the chairman of the England and Wales Cricket Board's Recreational Assembly, whose headquarters are based at Lord's, having been a board director since the ECB was formed in1997.
The MBE came as a pleasant surprise to John, who received a phone call out of the blue in December.
"It's always a surprise," he explained. "You're asked whether you will accept it first and then there's the wait to see if you will actually be awarded it!
"I didn't know anything until a few weeks ago, all they tell you is you'll be going to receive it in the next seven months.
"It's obviously very nice to have it myself, but it's also recognition for Cheshire, Minor Counties cricket and the recreational game."
Running parallel to a career in the legal profession at Moss and Haselhurst, John's cricketing background began at Northwich CC and has gone on to see him represent the Minor Counties Cricket Association on the Test and County Cricket Board and become a member of the Major Match Group.
He added: "I played for Northwich a long time ago with Mike Talbot-Butler, the sports reporter from the Guardian!
"I was secretary and captain for a number of years in the 60s and 70s and I've just retired as chairman of Cheshire CCC to become president for 2014, it means a slightly more laid back role.
Mike offered his congratulations on also becoming a patron of the Cheshire County League and recently saw John handed the Minor Counties Championship trophy, for which Cheshire beat Cambridge.
"I was delighted Cheshire won and it was a nice way to go out," added John.
"We've had a very successful spell the last 10 years, Cheshire cricket is very strong at the moment. I go to most matches and see a lot of cricket around the country."
ECB chief executive David Collier praised the service John has paid to cricket at all levels.
He said: "John has given a lifetime's service and this award is fitting recognition for the hugely important role he has played in the wider development of the sport both with ECB and its predecessor, the Test and County Cricket Board.
"He has been a great champion, in particular, of our recreational game and his knowledge and expertise in this area remain invaluable."
And John feels the game has come a long way since he became an ECB board director 17 years ago.
"When we first became amalgamated with the professional game we virtually had no money," he said.
"We're now guaranteed at least 30 per cent of broadcasting income, which has made a big difference, with lots more money going into local clubs.
"The object is to improve the quality and see youngsters progress into the professional game, people like Joe Root came through, so we've had some success.
"I remember when England were near the bottom, but of course the more successful you are the more someone like Sport England will invest money – so success means more money and more players reaching an elite level."

Malin Akerman
Malin Akerman is a familiar face because each of her projects has been increasingly large in size and scope, as evidenced by her appearances Entourage, Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle, The Heartbreak Kid, 27 Dresses, and Watchmen.
AppealMalin Akerman is Swedish-born and Canadian-raised, which means that this blond, blue-eyed stunner knows how to cuddle up and keep you warm on chilly winter nights. But, we don't even think that we'd have to be in the same room as Malin to be warmed by her hotness. Not one to shy away from the camera, Malin can be seen wearing bikini bottoms all over the internet, and the intensity of these images are strong enough to put a cardiac clinic out of business.
SuccessMalin Akerman has earned a slew of TV and film credits to her name, some of which include the hugely popular The Skulls (2000), Witchblade, Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle (2004), Heavy Petting (2007), 27 Dresses (2008), and Watchmen (2009).
And don't think for a moment that this former model-turned-actress is one-dimensional; Malin also fronts the rock band The PetalStones.
Malin Akerman BiographyBorn in Sweden but raised in Canada, Malin Maria Akerman began her professional career at the tender age of 5 when she appeared in the first of many TV commercials.
Several years later, Malin ascended to the top of the ranks when she won the prestigious Ford Supermodel of Canada title. Only 17 at the time of her victory, Malin Akerman spent her next three summers parading down European catwalks while building a reputation as one of the planet's most promising young models.
malin akerman in harold & kumarDespite her success in modeling, Malin Akerman made the transition into acting with a guest role on the trippy sci-fi series Earth: Final Conflict in 1997. Other parts soon followed on television shows such as Relic Hunter, Twice in a Lifetime, Doc, A Nero Wolfe Mystery, Entourage, and The Comeback, where she played the recurring role of Juna Millken opposite Lisa Kudrow.
Malin Akerman also branched out into film, appearing in The Skulls (2000), The Utopian Society (2003) and the popular stoner comedy Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle (2004).
In 2006, FHM recognized this blond beauty by ranking her at No. 80 on its list of the 100 Sexiest Women in the World.
malin akerman in watchmen Malin Akerman gained even more exposure from her work in the films Heavy Petting (2006), The Visiting (2007), The Brothers Solomon (2007), and The Heartbreak Kid (2007), a hilarious romantic comedy featuring Ben Stiller and Michelle Monaghan. "It's sort of a remake of The Heartbreak Kid [1972]," she explains. "I'm playing the fiancee, the one that (Ben Stiller) marries and turns into a wacko, so I got the really fun role."
In 2008, Malin Akerman graced the big screen in 27 Dresses alongside Katherine Heigl, and was voted as the No. 60 Most Desirable Women on AskMen.com's annual list.
Further expanding her film career, Malin Akerman was cast in the highly anticpated 2009 film Watchmen, a Zack Snyder comic-book adaptation. Look for Malin Akerman to round out 2009 with a turn in the romantic comedy The Proposal, costarring Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds.

Review: AKG Quincy Jones Signature Q460
During his tenure as a Crutchfield staff writer, Marshall Chase wrote about home theater receivers, sound bars, and in-wall and in-ceiling speakers.
More from Marshall Chase
Heads up!Welcome to this article from the Crutchfield archives. Have fun reading it, but be aware that the information may be outdated and links may be broken.
Imagine that a renowned headphone manufacturer came to you and offered to create a custom set of headphones from the ground up to perfectly suit your tastes and preferences. That's precisely what AKG did with the Quincy Jones Signature Q460. To me this is something akin to inviting Beethoven to conduct the orchestra so you can hear his symphony just the way he intended.
Listening to 'Q" like 'Q'
Quincy Jones is a musical icon whose guiding hand has been felt warmly and effusively in popular music for over 50 years. Jones' associations have been wide and diverse from Count Basie to Michael Jackson, and scores of artists in between. It's likely that all of them can attest to 'Q's perfectionist tendencies, especially his strong drive for accuracy, precision and efficiency. I think this sets the bar rather high for a set of headphones to meet his standards. For this review I listened to Q's own compositions, productions and arrangements through the headphones that bear his signature to render a personal opinion of their performance.
Quincy Jones: Trumpet player
To begin this exploration, I thought it important to hear Quincy Jones himself as an instrumentalist. Q's thinking processes throughout his career as a composer and producer probably have their roots in his own work as an artist with a horn pressed to his lips. I listened to some cuts from Birks Works: The Verve Big-Band Sessions where he sits in on the recording with Dizzy Gillespie.
The cut that really stood out for me was Dizzy's A Night in Tunisia. This tune was orchestrated for a big band with some amazing chops. The musicians were tight and the charts richly detailed. Q stood out only as he stood up with other horns and reeds. The lesson here was that you can shine while still being part of a team a group of similarly-minded artists with the goal of being excellent. I haven't heard a tune yet with Quincy Jones' signature on it that doesn't exhibit the same qualities.
His signature headphones were up to the task. Every note on the recording was prominent, whether it was a Dizzy solo, or the horn section on a riff. The percussion section came through with clarity and without the wince I sometimes experience listening to a rim shot with headphones on.
A pause for comfort
The Quincy Jones Q460's are adjustable, on-the-ear headphones. Personally, this is the most comfortable style for me. They don't surround or cup the ear, but they definitely create a private listening environment without smothering. The cushioning is soft but firm. The headphones were not terribly heavy and I was able to wear them for an hour or more at a time with no "ear fatigue."
The 460's come with cords that attach and detach on both the headphone end and the jack output side. One note of interest — the cords are lime green, which is a color that Quincy Jones likes. I wasn't sure I liked it until I realized that the color also made them easier to find in a pinch. (Of course, one can also fold them neatly and place them in the sturdy, light-weight case that comes with them.)
These headphones behave, baby
Q's music appears in many places. Soul Bossa Nova has popped up several times in film, most prominently in the Austin Powers series. Rahsaan Roland Kirk plays the flute featured in this tune. Q's headphones stood up nicely delivering the solo instrumental right through the underlying orchestration that includes plenty of brass, percussion and a great bass line that covers the bottom end without overwhelming the orchestra. Details came through clearly with these headphones. I could hear the breathy trill perfectly in Kirk's middle solo.
Just Once
One of my favorite Quincy Jones numbers is Just Once, performed by James Ingram, who came away with two Grammy awards for that effort. The tune begins with piano and a little reverb for added dimension. Ingram enters the song low and smooth, with both Ingram's vocal and the orchestra reaching a crescendo and fading back down to very soulful, heartfelt singing. Yes, the Q460 headphones let the performance come through beautifully in a musical sense. But the best part was the pallet of Ingram's vocals which were delivered emotionally, and that was what truly came through clearly.
Is Thriller a song or is it a sound track?
With a recording loaded with sound effects, lots of instruments, and plenty of seamless vocal overlays from Michael Jackson you would almost think that the Q460 headphones might be prone to overload. They were not. If you were served a fabulous stew made with only the best ingredients, but plenty of them, you would think that some of them would get lost. Not a detail escapes in this melange. And this artistry is what brings to mind the word "maestro" when it comes to Quincy Jones. As a master musician himself, Q accepts nothing less than perfection, and the headphones that bear his name proved deserving.
A canvas for all your music to play
My goal in this review was to hear Quincy Jones' music through the headphones that had to meet his standard. What I found consistently was that the level of detail, balance and efficiency of these headphones presented his music as he would have heard it in the final studio board mix. But you don't have to love Quincy Jones to enjoy his headphones. They also performed handily with the rather eclectic mix on my MP3 player. As far as my own listening preferences are concerned, I find that Quincy Jones and I share the values of balanced tone, clarity, and simply allowing the music to express its own flavors and leaving the headphones out of the mix.
In other words, when I was listening with the Quincy Jones Signature Q460 headphones, I experienced enjoyment, pure and simple.

Curtains and second-hand goods donated by a local factory have helped raise more than £2,700 for local children in need.
Darwen-based John Lewis company Herbert Parkinson are supporting Child Action Northwest as their charity of the year and donated a large supply of textiles to the organisation for their Christmas fundraising.
Chief executive Sue Cotton said: 'We held a Christmas pop-in and curtain sale, tearoom, tombola, facepainting and children's crafts. Staff also donated second-hand goods which we sold with the remainder of the curtains in a pop-up charity shop the following week.
"With such lovely curtains worth hundreds of pounds a pair, we were inundated with visitors who also took the opportunity to drop off Christmas presents at the old orphanage building. We are very grateful to the team at Herbert Parkinson for their generous donations which have helped us to raise much needed funds."

DETROIT - Detroit Restaurant Week (DRW) is back!
Seventeen Detroit fine dining establishments will serve-up specially-priced three course dinners beginning Friday, September 28 through Sunday, October 7, 2012 for only $30 per person.
"Detroit Restaurant Week began as a way to introduce people to the finer dining establishments and has evolved into a staple event that people come to expect every spring and fall; just like they do similar promotions in other cities across the country," said Dana Boyette, DRW restaurant relations manager.
Reservations are still strongly recommended, even after six installments of DRW.
The spring edition earlier this year enticed more than 38,000 people to have dinner at a participating restaurant. Since its inception in 2009, DRW has had an economic impact of more than $5 million for the restaurants thanks to the nearly 200,000 people that have taken advantage of the dining deal.
Changes in the restaurant business have caused the number of participating restaurants to fluctuate over the years. This fall some restaurants that regularly participate are undergoing renovations that will not be completed before DRW begins; restaurants that have opened in recent months are still reaping the benefits of their newness; and others have shifted their focus away from fine dining.
Boyette points out though that the creation of Detroit Restaurant Week has never been about the number of diners, or the number of restaurants that participate. He says the intention has always been to "create memorable experiences that will keep people coming back to the participating restaurants and the city of Detroit."
For the seventh installment the 17 restaurants participating in the biannual fine dining event are:
24Grille- Westin Book Cadillac Detroit
Andiamo Detroit Riverfront - GM Ren Cen
Angelina Italian Bistro- Downtown
Atlas Global Bistro - Midtown
Caucus Club- Penobscot Building
Cliff Bell's - Downtown
Coach Insignia- GM Ren Cen
Cuisine - New Center
Da Edoardo Foxtown Grille- Foxtown
Detroit Seafood Market - Paradise Valley
Fountain Bistro- Campus Martius Park
Iridescence - MotorCity Casino-Hotel
La Dolce Vita - Palmer Woods District
Rattlesnake Club - Stroh River Place
Roast- Westin Book Cadillac Detroit
Roma Cafe - Eastern Market
The Whitney- Midtown
Reservations can be made by visiting www.DetroitRestaurantWeek.com or by contacting the restaurants directly.
DRW is free for restaurants to participate in because of generous sponsors like Quicken Loans and the Downtown Detroit Partnership.

I don't know about you, but I've been a mess since last Friday's Sandy Hook shooting. A conflicted, sad, fearful, desperate mess. I've been trying to have a normal day – but so many times a day a single move or word will make me stop and, not just cry, weep. In a single motion of putting a blanket on my sleeping daughter (7), in the image of a child skipping into school, or while volunteering in the classroom when rather than focusing on the gingerbread house I'm helping to build, I'm looking around the room from a teacher's point of view and concocting an escape plan. I weep for the parents who will never have a normal day again. At times I even feel guilty ever enjoying any of these moments when others are suffering so greatly.
I have been searching for a meaningful way for my family and I to reach out, and after a friend of mine whose son is a student at Sandy Hook posted a request from their PTA, I have the answer. I wanted to share this with everyone who might also be looking for the same thing.
It's snowflakes. Beautiful, pure, snowflakes, which will decorate the new school that Sandy Hook students will attend. Here is why this speaks to me:
They represent the lives lost: no two are alike
They are a representation of the irreplaceable and unique people that are no longer with us but have had an impact on every person they touched.
They are a symbol of hope and beauty
They will provide a visual support that I can be part of. The kids, the staff, the parents can look at them every day and see how many people are out here pouring our love into their community.
It will be easy to explain and do with my kids.
I've struggled with what to tell my kids about the shooting. For now, they know a group of people, including children, were killed in Connecticut last week and the person responsible also died. They don't know it was in a school. I feel comfortable having our entire family make snowflakes together and telling them that they are being sent to the school that the kids were from to show our love and support.
Here is the address to send your snowflakes by January 12, 2013:
Connecticut PTSA
60 Connolly Parkway, Building 12, Suite 103
Hamden, CT 06514

Your weekday morning blend from Instant Tea:
1. A vigil is planned tonight outside the McDonald's in Baltimore where a transgender woman was brutally attacked, beaten and dragged across the floor on April 18 before apparently suffering a seizure. Shocking video of the incident, captured by a McDonald's employee on his cell phone, has gone viral over the last several days. The 22-year-old victim, Chrissy Lee Polis, spoke out about the incident, which she says was a hate crime, in an interview with the Baltimore Sun above. Two female suspects, ages 14 and 18, have been arrested, and the employee who filmed the attack has been fired. If you haven't seen the video of the incident yet, you can watch it here.
2. A Tennessee pastor is set to appear in federal court today on charges related to the epic Lisa Miller-Janet Jenkins lesbian custody case. Timothy David Miller, 34, is accused of helping Lisa Miller and her daughter flee to Central America after she renounced homosexuality and refused to comply with court-ordered visitation. Lisa Miller and Janet Jenkins entered a civil union in 2000 in Vermont, and their daughter, Isabella, was born in 2002. After the couple broke up in 2003 and Miller renounced homosexuality, she refused to allow Jenkins to see Isabella because she's a lesbian.

Just have someone shoot some frikkin laser beams in your eyes and you won't even need the glasses!
I can't even remember contacts.
Laser beams.
Or did I already say that?
days and counting...
The tree people shall rise again
I served on a Board with Dr. Price (Price Vision Group here in Indy) but never spoke to him about it. Now that I'm too old to donate my eyes for anything other than training, I'm interested.
Ever notice how friendly folks are at a shootin' range??.
Is it worth it?
I guess it depends on how you feel about wearing contacts or glasses.
I was to the point that some contacts that didn't breath gave me a lot of headaches and the ones that did breath were very expensive and my eye's were highly irritated being in the wind in tree's all of the time.
I had the laser in January 2007. I'd do it again in a heartbeat.
I had Laser in August of 2005. I would never change it. Geez, theres a thread on her were we talk about all of the details of it if you are interested. I think Spicoli even started it.
1000000000000000000 x worth it.
I think the going rate these days is about $1200-2000 per eye, but it depends on who you go see, and exactly what procedure you have done.
Yep it was one of the best things I've ever done.
My advice - do your due diligence and don't make price an issue. Do your research on the doctor, ask lots of questions, etc. There are a few different types of procedures that can be done. Make sure you are a good candidate.
More details for you geez.
At my age I dunno, I've been stigmatic in right eye since 1st grade and glasses since 3rd. I'm told I tend to shut off vision from right eye and use it for peripheral only.
As I said, I know Dr. Price from serving on the Indiana Eye and Tissue Bank, Board Of Directors with him...maybe he'd cut me a deal??? Buty at my age I'm not certain the surgery would do much good.
Ever notice how friendly folks are at a shootin' range??.
Hard to get going today.
Boom Goes the Dynamite!!!
Ever notice how friendly folks are at a shootin' range??.
You ever notice none of us are ever on here at the same time.
Sometimes, you wake up with a strange metallic taste in your mouth and your head hurts and you see that others have posted.
But there are blood stains on YOUR keyboard.
That $#^% is weird.
I could forward you some of the junk e-mails I get for Viagra.
There's nothing quite like a green banana really.
Mmmmm crunchy
Is that a state fair deal?
Nope that's a cafeteria staple.
They're either so green they crunch or so spotted that they turn to mush when you peel them.
I heard they were deep fat frying the hell out of everything at the fair.
Truthfully I thought you were talking about something you flushed down the terlit but the crunchy part did make me wonder.
Banana sounds way too healthy for you sir.
Didn't make it to the fair this year.
I like a good banana every now and again. Helps keep me regular. I'll be sure to wash it down with lots of beer this weekend.
How in the fock am I going to stay awake for the next 3 hours?
I don't eat bananas.
I'd just set your alarm.
Maybe that's the source of your blackouts and that strange metallic taste you have in your mouth when you wake up?
You think Geezer is mud wrestling midget chicks right now.
No doubt about it. That's how he spends his Fridays.
I'm noticed his sales charts drop way off on fridays but his expense reports soar.

So that you'll know, this is how I made the selections.
1. I wrote everyones name on a small slip of paper, mixed them up several times & then, without looking, one by one, selected the names. Once all the names had been drawn I listed them on a separate sheet of paper in the order I had pulled them.
2. I then wrote the numbers 1 thru 24 on back of those same small slips of paper. I again mixed them up, several times & then, without looking, one by one, selected the numbers. The first number I picked went to the first name on the list. The 2nd number went to the 2nd player on the list. I think you get the idea,
The following is the draft order for all odd number rounds. That would be rounds 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 & 11
The order will be reversed for all even number rounds. That would be 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 & 12.
Basicly if you pick first in round 1 you'll get the last pick in round 2.
If you pick last in round 1 you'll also have the first pick in round 2.
By keeping the draft the same all the way thru & not re-shuffling the order I hope that people will have a clearer idea just exactly when they will be drafting & the process will not get bogged down. HINT HINT
Well, heres the list:
1. Bulldog
2. Avoidingtheclowns

4. Diamond Dave

I am still reeling from Sen. Harry Reid's comments about how there's no real progress in the talks. No, I am not reeling because there's no real progress, I get that. I am reeling because if you want to kill whatever NASCENT progress there is on solving the fiscal cliff you do what he did today, which is blab about how it's not going well.
Look, the secret to having these talks succeed is to put all the leaders in a room and not let them come out until they have a deal coupled with a pledge to stop supporting incumbents, no matter who they are, if they buck the leadership.
That's because it's pretty clear that the Tea Party people do not have the same agenda as the leadership and the hardline Democrats care more about soaking the rich and cutting the Defense Department than they do about just about anything else, especially cutting entitlements.
So, it's pretty clear that unless you isolate the leadership away from the press and you press the extremes, something that can't happen unless President Obama pushes for it, we are going to have many more days like today and far fewer days like Friday.
Wouldn't it be something if Europe gets it together, China keeps growing and we slow the world down?
Do you think that a guy like Reid understands that?
Or does he just not care?
Or both?

A blog about genealogy and thoughts about the various roots and branches of my family tree as well as the times in which my ancestors lived.Included are the West, White,and McFarland families.WARNING:DO NOT TAKE ALL OF MY FAMILY RECORDS AS GOSPEL. ALWAYS CONFIRM YOUR OWN RESEARCH!
Tuesday, August 13, 2013
I thought I'd try to track down the names of the men who signed from the
other four towns. I was partially successful, finding those from two in Google
ebooks. Again, the names of my ancestors are in red.
The first list is from a footnote in The History of Haverhill, Massachusetts: From Its First Settlement, in 1640 ... by George Wingate Chase, p 80 :
"The following are the names of the Haverhill signers, a s copied from the original
petition in the State Archives: —
Richard Littlehale
Robbert Eres
James Davis
John Heth
George Corlis
Joseph Peaslv
Job Clements
Bartholomew Heth
Tristram Coffin
Abraham Tvlar
Edw. Clarke
Peter Coffin
John Williams
James Davis Jr
John Davis
John Williams
Theophilus Sachwell
John Eaton
Thomas Davis
Tho: Whittier
Thomas Eaton
Joh: Eyres
Tho: Dow
Robert Clements
James ffiske
Joseph Davis
Thomas Belfore
Dan: Hendrick
Peter Ayre
John Webster
Stephen Kent
Samuel Gild
George Brown
Richard Singitarv
Robbert Swan
Ephraim Davis
Henry Palmer"
The second list is from the town of Hampton, which is now in New Hampshire but in
1653 was still part of Massachusetts. The signers included men from other towns
near Hampton, and the information comes from a magazine article Samborne family
ancestors, THE SANBORN OR SAMBORNE FAMILY. EARLY OPPOSITION TO ARBITRARY GOVERNMENT IN HAMPTON. By F. B. Sanborn., in Granite
Monthly: A New Hampshire Magazine, Volume 23 p 324
"Christopher Husse, Robart Tucke, Richard Swaine, John Samborne, Francis Swaine,
Williem Samborne, Stephen Samborne, Moses Cox, William Fifield, ]ohn Redman,
Thomas Fletcher [?],Jeffery Mingay, Eliakim Wardell, John Wedgwood, Thomas Marston, The T Mark of Willim Maston, Philemon Dalton, Samuell Dalton, Robert Page, Will. Moulton, Samuell Fogge, Nathaniell Bachiler, Jasper Blake, Christopher Palmer, John Marston, The I' Mark of Josiah Meren, The Mark of Antoni Talier, The /' Mark of John Cass, The T Mark of John Merin [Marian], Thomas Coullman, Thomas Philbrock, Abraham Perkins, Henry Roby, The T Mark of William Cole, Nathaniell Boulter, Humphrie Humber, The Mark X of John Clifoord."
I was unable to find the complete lists for Andover and Salisbury, but did find the
names of five of the men from Salisbury in another magazine article, ROBERT PIKE,
A FORGOTTEN CHAMPION OF FREEDOM. By Nathan N. Withington. The article was
widely printed back in the late 1890's. The Googlebook edition I found was in
The New England Magazine , Volume 17, pp29-30 published in 1898:
"The majority was overawed and apologized more or less abjectly for their disrespect
toward the authority of the Great and General Court of Massachusetts; but a minority
of about one-fifth of the signers refused to make any apology, and defended and justified their action. Thus boldly stood out eight from Newbury, five from Salisbury, besides Pike himself, and two from Hampton. Here were sixteen men who, in an age of intolerance, in an age when the right of the ruler was held to be from God, and as against this the governed had no rights, asserted and maintained at considerable peril the rights of free speech, for sectaries included, and of petition on the part of the citizens. They deserve to have their names remembered; they were:
Of Newbury—John Emery, Sr., John Hall, Benjamin Swett, John Bishop, Joseph Plummer, Daniel Thurston, Jr., Daniel Cheney, John Wolcot.
Of Salisbury—Samuel Hollis, Philip Challis, Joseph Fletcher, Andrew Greeley, George Morton.
Of Hampton —Christopher Hussey, John Sanborn.
These fifteen were each bound in the sum of ten pounds to appear for trial in the county courts; and here the matter, so far as relates to them, appears to have dropped."
So my ancestor Philip Challis was also a signer of the petition.
To be continued

Wow - lots of Hampton ancestors and a few from the other towns in this one - John Webster, John Emery, John Hall, Joseph Plummer, Daniel Cheney, Philip Challis, Christopher Hussey, Robert Tuck, Richard Swaine, John Sanborn, Moses Cox, Thomas Marston, William Marston, Philemon Dalton, Samuel Dalton, Robert Page, William Moulton, Samuel Fogg, Nathaniel Bachiler, Jasper Blake, John Marston, Anthony Taylor, John Cass, Thomas Philbrick, Abraham Perkins, Henry Roby, and Nathaniel Boulter! I would need to do some further digging to make sure they are correctly identified in my tree - some fathers and sons have the same name. A few are cousins or married to cousins but many are direct ancestors. That's cool! Thanks for sharing.

Keighley 20 Old Brodleians 9
Apart from the broken leg suffered by hooker Craig Dyson and the failure to take a bonus point for four tries, this was a perfect afternoon for Keighley.
Their third win of the season didn't move them out of a relegation place but it did draw them closer to their next opponents, Pontefract, who they travel to on Saturday.
Keighley started the day 14 points from safety and ended it ten adrift as all the other results fell their way, with the chance to make that a mere five points behind next weekend.
Not for the first time this season, Keighley started the match on the front foot but this time they did capitalise.
A second-minute try from Shaun Minikin was superby converted by fly half Alex Brown, who later added two penalties to give the hosts a 13-3 interval advantage in this derby.
Two penalties by Brods full back Dan Wood reduced that margin to four points by the hour but tenacious Keighley defence kept the visitors at arm's length, as did some sloppy Brods handling, and the experience of full back Danny McGee also steadied the ship.
Then, in the second minute of injury time, the hosts pounced on a loose pass in Brods' 22, a visitor was then driven back by about six Keighley forwards before man of the match Leigh Sugden pinched the ball to dive over for the match-winning try, Brown's conversion adding to the hurt of Brods losing their bonus point.
"It was a badly-needed win," said Keighley's director of rugby Graeme Sheffield, whose side had lost their previous eight league matches, albeit four of them narrowly.
"The aim from now on is to hit teams early in our home games – some of them will have travelled long distances and we hope to catch them while they are 'still on the bus'.
"It was as good a forward display as we have produced all season and I told Shaun Minikin to follow our other flanker Dave Pullen. Hope-fully he will have learnt from a master.
"Meanwhile, Leigh Sugden has his critics but the opposition cannot stop him."
Keighley have nine games left in which to save themselves.
Five of them are away from home but two are against the bottom three, and five matches in all have them facing sides currently in the bottom half of the table.
Sheffield added: "This win makes Pontefract an even more important game next weekend - in Premier League terms it is a 'six-pointer'."
As for Dyson, who has joined his brother Scott, who broke his ankle the previous weekend, on the sidelines for the rest of the season, Sheffield said: "It is a pity about Craig as he has worked so hard to get where he is. It is a pity for him and a pity for the club."

I use DaqPad1200 which has two Analog inputs.
I use an external cmos analog MUX to scan a 2D array of sensors (x and y).
The digital output ports are used to address the Row column MUXes.
The Analog acquired data should go in the array so the port values are the the array indices.
Any idea on how to do this?
If I well understood your requirements, you can create the digital signal to control your mux by using something like this (see attached picture).
If your MUX has less than 8 bits you can modify the code to write only the amount of bits needed.
What else does your application need? It would be useful if you can explain it with more details.
Thank you for taking time to consider my issue.
I am a beginer , actually I was.... then I could solve this by reading examples and it is mazing how easy it is !!
Building and displaying matrix arrays is very easy and useful. I remember the pointers in C and how difficult to manage they are.
The problem now is that execution is slow with respect to my needs.. i.e. Analog acquisition and multiplexing are taking milliseconds.
Is this a function of computer speed?
Can I make a stand alone application without the need to the PC? just like burning an Eprom to put on target system ?
THank you for any hint
You are right, LabVIEW is a kind programming language...
For what you said, I think that the timing bottle neck could come from your hardware (DAQpaq is quite an ancient device).
What are your timing requirements? At which frequency you need to acquire your data?
You could use some hardware like cDAQ.
For stand-alone applications there is the possibility of using the cRIO platform.
What I need actually is to make the analogue data acquisition remote and data analysis and visualisation, elaboration local on a PC.
Distance of the data acquisition point could be 5 to 10 meters. Data could also be sent over a network.
I need 2 - ADC and 2 DAC plus digital ports , just like the DAQPod1200.
Thank you for any specific suggestion !!
04-18-2012 01:47 AM - edited 04-18-2012 01:47 AM
I have several suggestions for you (cDAQ Ethernet):
After what I read, I think this is what you are looking for. Hope this helps

This report was filed by Wayne Gustaveson, DWR project leader at Lake Powell:
On Jan. 20 a lucky 13-year-old from Denver was trolling with leaded line near Forgotten Canyon just upstream from Bullfrog Marina when he caught a big striper. We are still trying to talk with Jessie Pond to find out exactly what lure he was using and how he was holding his mouth, what he had for breakfast and other important details.
Jessie and his Dad brought the big fish to Bullfrog Marina after hours and were able to get it weighed at the Bullfrog Post Office. The length was 43 inches and weight was 27.5 pounds. When we get more information we will send it out.
