LEE Ward reckons Chippenham should be aiming for the top half of the table after improving their squad strength over the winter.
The Hardenhuish Park side have added batsman Mohammed Shuaib, from Halesowen, to their ranks while the bowling ranks have also been swelled.
Left-arm spinner George Read and opening bowler Mat Dumont, from St Blazey in Cornwall, will offer Ward's men more options with the ball.
Ward said: "One of the things we have said about this season is that we've had a couple of years where we said it was a transition period and we were rebuilding.
"But, hopefully, this time we can have a more successful season.
"Our aspirations are, minimum, to be in the top half of the table and really pushing on.
"We have competition for places in the squad now and that's really good."
Tim Hancock, who made more than 8000 runs during his Gloucestershire career, has been assisting the club with coaching during the winter.
Ward said: "One of the things we want to work on is our consistency.
"I think we beat the top three sides in our league last year at various stages so we've proved we can beat anyone on our day.''
Chippenham open their campaign with the visit of Rockhampton on Saturday.
Biddestone begin their campaign with a visit to last season's Wiltshire Division champions Swindon this weekend.
The villagers have recruited Stuart Kingwell to their ranks this summer as player-coach for the season.
Kingwell was previously at West of England Premier League Premier One champions Bath, where he captained the club's second team and also coached the U15s to the National Championships twice in the last five years.

As a Pennsylvania employee, Carolyn Boser Newhouse was entitled to drive from Harrisburg to Southpointe in a state car. She obviously didn't feel a sense of entitlement.
"I took the Megabus for $17," said Newhouse, the featured speaker Friday at the Washington County Chamber of Commerce's monthly breakfast briefing at the Hilton Garden Inn, Cecil Township. "Why take a state car when the Megabus costs $17? I'm all about the Megabus."
She didn't have to be in this instance, of course. But, as deputy secretary for innovation and investment with the Department of Community and Economic Development, Newhouse has a keen understanding of economics – and of being frugal. Her office is responsible for generating business in the commonwealth and promoting tourism, while watching expenses. She said her department is down 40 percent in people and financing.
Newhouse gave a presentation on business and tourism before a breakfast meeting of about 200 that included state Sen. Tim Solobay, D-Canonsburg, and county commissioners Larry Maggi and Harlan Shober. The breakfast also included food for thought: The 2013 Washington County Destination Guide, a splashy 80-page booklet, was unveiled. Also, booths featuring some of the county's top attractions were set up outside the meeting room.
"The guide speaks to all who come to Washington County," said J.R. Shaw, executive director of the Washington County Tourism Promotion Agency.
The Pennsylvania Tourism Office is under Newhouse's aegis. She says its "goal is to market the state," within its borders and in contiguous states.
"I believe in generating the understanding that tourism is an economic driver," said Newhouse, a University of Pittsburgh graduate. "People like to think of this as leisure and travel, but it's more than that. In an economic situation like this, every job counts and tourism can drive that."
She pointed out in a PowerPoint that tourism and related businesses are, collectively, the No. 3 employer in Washington County with 8,904 employees.
That industry here will get a boost from the destination guide, which includes the slogan, "Bring the energy. Bring yourself." It is the first comprehensive publication undertaken by the chamber and the tourism agency.
The guide has comprehensive lists of Washington County dining locations, hotels, businesses, schools, recreation spots, event venues and other organizations. There also are maps, contact information for municipalities and a calendar of events for the year, among other things.
It's glossy, colorful and easy to read – and plentiful. About 240,000 were printed.
Oh, and the guide is further proof that it's a big county out there.
The destination guide is free and can be picked up at the Washington County Tourism Promotion Agency, 273 S. Main St., Washington, from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.

New Delhi: Though the higher echelons of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) are yet to endorse the candidacy of Narendra Modi to head its campaign in the next general election, some leaders are lining up behind the Gujarat chief minister in a move that may lead to a face-off.
Given the strident opposition to Modi among some groups and especially among possible allies, another BJP leader, say, party president Rajnath Singh, could emerge as a "consensus" candidate, political analysts said.
A day after senior BJP leader and former Union minister Yashwant Sinha backed Modi as the party's prime ministerial candidate, another former minister Ram Jethmalani said on Tuesday that the Gujarat chief minister is the "best" choice for the post and "100% secular".
"According to me, Narendra bhai is the most (popular) and the best Prime Minister for this country. Nothing has happened to change my mind...Modi, in my definition, of secularism is 100% secular," Jethmalani told reporters in the national capital.
However, Rajnath Singh, who took over as BJP chief last week, has maintained that while no one can deny Modi's popularity, a final decision will be taken by the party's parliamentary board.
Narendra Modi, who spearheaded the BJP's record third successive win in the just concluded Gujarat assembly election, has been tipped as the main opposition party's prime ministerial candidate citing the state's governance and investment-friendly atmosphere. However, key BJP allies, including the Janata Dal-United (JD-U), have signalled their displeasure over his candidacy for his alleged failure in containing the 2002 communal riots in Gujarat.
A debate over the leadership is justified as elections are just a year away, said G.V.L. Narasimha Rao, a psephologist who has been working closely with the BJP.
"For a national party like the BJP, a year is not enough to prepare for the election. Secondly, now that the Congress already announced that Rahul Gandhi would be the face of the (ruling) party, the BJP (has been) forced to declare its leader," Rao said. "Thirdly, the candidates who are fighting the Lok Sabha elections are confident that Modi's leadership would brighten their prospects."
The Congress party appointed Rahul Gandhi as vice-president, giving a clear indication that he would lead the party in the next general election, which is due in 2014. The Congress and the BJP are locked in a direct contest in all key states including Delhi, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan, which go to the polls before the 2014 Lok Sabha polls.
The hype over Modi could also be an outcome of the intensifying infighting among the BJP's top leaders.
"Earlier, they (the BJP) were invoking the Ramayana for the Ram temple but now the Mahabharata has started in the BJP. It is not a good sign for the BJP as a political party because their differences are coming to the fore, specially those surrounding personalities," said Achyut Yagnik, a political analyst and author based in Ahmedabad.
To be sure, the Shiv Sena, another ally, has already come up with an alternative suggestion.
"We feel Sushma Swaraj (leader of the opposition in the Lok Sabha) is the suitable candidate for the PM's post," Sanjay Raut, member of parliament (MP) and Sena spokesman, told reporters in Mumbai. The late Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackeray had also pitched for Swaraj as the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance's (NDA's) prime ministerial candidate, he claimed.
Political observers also pointed out that apart from Swaraj and Modi, former deputy prime minister L.K. Advani and Rajnath Singh are also in the fray for the top post.
"They are divided in camps and around different personalities. Earlier, they were thinking about Advani, then there was an increasing discussion on (Arun) Jaitley and Sushma (Swaraj) for the prime ministerial candidature. But now the momentum is more about Modi and even Rajnath Singh," said Yagnik, adding that the hype would go against the main opposition party.
Jai Mrug, a Mumbai-based political analyst, agreed.
"Rajnath Singh has been consistently saying that the party will decide its prime ministerial candidate, which means the game is still open," he said.
"The leaders like Rajnath Singh will dig in their heels, try and emerge as the consensus candidate."

Order for Girl Scout cookies was a $24,000 hoax
PORTLAND, Ore. -- Two Girl Scout troops were thrilled when a Hillsboro company ordered six thousand boxes of cookies.
But as it turns out, the order was a $24,000 hoax.
A troop parent says a co-worker approached her to set up a large corporate order with a Hillsboro company. The parent says she then exchanged many e-mails with someone claiming to be from the company. But when it was time to collect the money, she says she found out it was fake, and the co-worker confessed to the hoax.
Now, the girls have to sell the 500 cases of cookies to raise the money they need for camp.
The girls are admittedly upset. Troop parent Jennifer Reed said the troops set aside cases of cookies to fill the massive order.
"It let the girls down tremendously," Reed said.
Most of the girls do not have enough cookie credits to go to camp. Since cookie-selling season is officially over, the troops now have to make special arrangements to try and sell enough cookies to save their summer.
"We have all these younger girls in our other troop. They were all looking forward to going to camp," said Madalynn, a 12-year-old troop member. "Now with this, we might not be able to go to camp. We really need to be able to sell the cookies."
You can help them out. The troops will have a cookie-selling table at the Girl Scout offices at 9620 S.W. Barbur Blvd. between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Saturday.
You can also send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com for more information on helping the troops.

lighting crush: vapeur
There's a good change you've already seen the Vapeur lamp already. It was designed in '09 by Inga Sempé and I really like how delicate and airy it looks. The soft glow would be perfect for above a crib or in a child's room (just thinking out loud here!).
If I had a bigger house, I'd definitely have to make room for this beauty.

The governor's office is coordinating official communication about Ike for the State of Texas, including TPWD activities. The following information is provided as a service and convenience for TPWD's audience. For complete information, see the Texas governor's web site at http://governor.state.tx.us/, or news media may phone the press office at (512) 463-1826. Texas Game Wardens/TPWD Law Enforcement Division --TPWD has had approximately 200 game wardens and associated boats and equipment deployed for Hurricane Ike. Today, while some strike teams complete search and rescue in places like the Bolivar Peninsula, many game warden teams are turning to a law enforcement mission in other affected areas across Southeast Texas and East Texas. --As part of a multi-agency response coordinated through the governor's office, game warden teams today are fulfilling local government requests for enforcement and assistance in Angelina County, Jasper County, Grimes County, Brazoria County and other areas. --Today on the Bolivar Peninsula, 15 game wardens in seven airboats are completing search and rescue and loading airboats with food and water for people who may be still be stranded in flooded peninsula communities. The entire peninsula still under mandatory evacuation order, and TPWD teams are offering to take anyone who wishes to leave to safety. --Saturday, Capt. Rod Ousley of the Beaumont office and eight game wardens worked in Bridge City and Orange with airboats. By 4 p.m. they had completed more than 50 rescues, plucking people from rooftops and second story windows, bringing them back to National Guard trucks. --In Galveston, about eight game wardens normally based in that area continue to help patrol and search residential areas, using boats to navigate flooded streets in some cases. --Dozens of other wardens based out of Region 4 in Houston are likewise continuing to search, rescue and assess damage in the counties and city areas they normally patrol. Texas State Parks -- This morning, a total of 23 Texas State Parks remain closed due to Ike in Southeast and East Texas, down from 37 closures at the event's height. For the current list of park closures, see the TPWD Web site (tpwd.texas.gov/spdest/parkinfo/hurricane). --Since the storm event began, 5,315 evacuees have been given shelter at 59 state parks outside of Ike's path. Evacuees from storm-damaged areas are allowed to tent camp or stay in RVs or campers at no cost in Texas State Parks, and they may stay in cabins or screen shelters at discounted rates. The latest information on parks closed or accepting evacuees is available through the TPWD Web site (tpwd.texas.gov/site/emergency). The public can also phone individual state parks to see whether a park is closed or accepting evacuees. --Hurricane Ike delivered a powerful blow to Texas State Parks. Two coastal parks, Galveston and Sea Rim, sustained catastrophic damage. Structures and facilities at Sea Rim near Port Arthur appear to be a total loss. At Galveston Island, Ike caused heavy beach erosion and swept away the park headquarters building, restrooms, and shelters. --Seven other state parks and the LaPorte regional office suffered significant damage ranging from downed trees and power lines to storm surge flooding and wind damage to buildings and facilities. These parks include Lake Livingston, Martin Dies, Jr., the San Jacinto Battleground / Battleship Texas, Huntsville, Daingerfield, Martin Creek Lake and Mission Tejas. --Four state parks sustained moderate damage-Brazos Bend, Sheldon Lake, Village Creek and Caddo Lake. Three parks took only light damage-Goose Island, Mustang Island, Stephen F. Austin, Fanthorp Inn, Washington on the Brazos, Fairfield Lake, Tyler and Atlanta. --The San Jacinto Battleground was significantly damaged by storm surge flooding and wind, with widespread downed trees and fencing. The park store and Battleship TEXAS restrooms were flooded, the site well house destroyed, among other damage. --A fire Sunday morning at Mission Tejas severely damaged the approximately 1,000-square foot headquarters building (not a historic structure). Authorities and staff are looking into the cause, but it's possible an emergency electrical generator caught on fire. Wildlife -- Wildlife Division staff assisted with search and rescue in Jefferson County at the request of local officials, and other staff are assessing damage to facilities and habitats in affected areas. --Several Southeast Texas wildlife management areas near the coast where the landscape normally consists of wetlands, marshes and coastal prairies are all or partly underwater today, including the Murphree, Candy Abshier, Lower Neches and Hurst WMAs. --At Murphree WMA near Port Arthur, the Jefferson County storm levee held back the storm surge, protecting WMA buildings from flooding. The levee can resist a 14 foot crest and staff report the area had 11 feet of seawater surge. One Murphree shop building was severely damaged by high winds, but other facilities are reported in relatively good shape. --At Hurst WMA near Lake Jackson, the main office and bunkhouse appear to be in relatively good condition, with no apparent damage to equipment. A barn had doors blown off or other damage. One lean-to structure with deer blinds inside was destroyed. --Northeast Texas WMAs suffered minor structural damage, such as sheet metal blown off of storage sheds at Engeling WMA. Alazan Bayou and Whiteoak Creek WMAs have no power. Flooding in low-lying areas and downed timber are widespread across the region. --Aerial overflights are taking place today to assess ecological impacts and damage to various TPWD facilities. But longtime division staff member Jim Sutherlin had this to say from the Murphree WMA in Port Arthur: "The Murphree area looks like the Gulf of Mexico. Wildlife impacts to every thing that doesn't fly will be significant like it was back in the early 1960s with Hurricane Carla. I expect a great reduction in reptiles and amphibians, particularly alligators, but also snakes, frogs, all the things that move on the ground in the coastal plains. We need to assess the full impacts, and that will take some time. It will set plant communities back to very early successional stages, and we'll see big changes in the landscape when this water comes off, for a couple of decades. That's something we'll see as our careers mature, and the young people starting careers in wildlife ecology now will follow it as we followed Carla." Coastal Fisheries -- The Coastal Fisheries Division, which maintains multiple offices, boats, laboratories and fish hatcheries on the coast, appears to have weathered the storm without major damage, except for flooding to rented office space in Port Arthur. The larger TPWD Dickinson office complex is in relatively good condition. Sea Center Texas in Lake Jackson sustained only minor damage. --- On the Net: TPWD Emergency Information: http://tpwd.texas.gov/site/emergency/ -30-

FOURTEEN people in North and East Yorkshire have died because of the shortage of organs in the past year, health officials revealed today.
There are currently 125 people in North Yorkshire waiting for a transplant, and another 66 waiting in the East Riding of Yorkshire.
NHS Blood and Transplant has highlighted the figures during National Transplant Week to encourage people to spell out their decision to be an organ donor.
Officials say they want to increase awareness that the decision to donate a loved one's organs falls to the family if people die in circumstances where it can be given.
Sally Johnson, Director of Organ Donation and Transplantation, said: "Last year 53 people living in North Yorkshire and 22 in East Yorkshire benefited from a life-saving organ transplant thanks to families making the decision to donate when a loved one died, a decision that we know makes them incredibly proud.
"We know that families are much less likely to allow organ donation to go ahead if they don't know it's what their loved one wanted."
Kath Aveyard, who decided with her husband Rob to donate their daughter Bryony's organs after she suffered a fatal brain haemorrhage in 2008, has backed the NHS Blood and Transplant message.
She said that organs removed from Bryony had helped four adults and a couple of babies, and she had found it quite an easy decision to 'do something positive' and donate them.
She thought it far better if people spelt out their preference to be an organ donor, so that their family knew that was what their loved one had wanted.
Osbaldwick man Andy Henwood's life was transformed when he had a kidney transplant in 2011.
The 57 said he had enjoyed a good quality of life before he became ill, but a diagnosis of renal failure saw that plummet. He relied on dialysis three times a week and was tied to hospital renal units.
"The difference an organ donation can make to someone and their whole family is incredible."
Now Andy and many of his friends and family have signed up to become organ donors, and he encourages others to do the same.
Andy added: "Personally, I would willingly give anything to help someone else."
For more information and to register your organ donation decision go to www.transplantweek.co.uk

The Bears Keep Trying
There was an impressive bounce after a very weak open and the market even managed to close strongly, though not quite at the highs. Late news from Apple (AAPL) about its plan to distribute some of its massive cash holdings helped hold the market up late in the day.
Despite the bounce, breadth was weak and plenty of stocks struggled. What was most impressive about the action, though, was the large number of stocks that hit new 12-month highs. About 350 stocks hit highs and only about 25 were at the lows. Many of the stocks hitting new highs are doing so with vigor, and the hot money is still eager to chase. It isn't all small-caps, either: American Express (AXP), Google (GOOG), Citigroup (C), FedEx (FDX) and Schwab (SCHW) are on the new highs list as well....153 more words left in this article.

The recovery of Robert Griffin III continues to get rave reviews from his orthopedic surgeon, Dr. James Andrews.
Last month at the Scouting Combine, Andrews said Griffin's recovery from torn anterior cruciate and lateral collateral ligaments in his right knee was "way ahead of schedule."
Then, in an interview with ESPN's Stephania Bell on Friday, Andrews described Griffin as "superhuman" in his ability and motivation to recover. Andrews put South Carolina running back Marcus Lattimore in the same category. Lattimore hopes to get drafted next month as he rehabs from a second torn ACL.
Andrews compared the rehabs of Griffin and Lattimore to those of Bo Jackson and Adrian Peterson.
"I've been real mum on talking too much about RGIII," Andrews told ESPN. "He wants his recovery to be fairly private, but I can tell you he's way ahead of schedule. His recovery has been unbelievable so far.
"RGIII is one of those superhumans. First patient I ever had like that was Bo Jackson. And recently I, of course, had Adrian Peterson, who is also superhuman. They have an unbelievable ability to recover, whereas a normal human being may not be able to recover."
All signs point to Griffin being ready to open the season, but Washington Redskins coach Mike Shanahan said Wednesday at the owners meeting that it was "ludicrous" to put a timetable on the recovery.
"All I can tell you, though, is when you've got a guy who's got the flexibility that he has and he's got the strength and he's got the desire to be the best at what he does, usually good things happen," Shanahan said.
"He's in there every day. He's working out six, eight hours a day. He's got great strength and great flexibility, and that gives him a chance to hopefully be ready for the season, right? I don't know."

Deduno turns in stellar relief outing
FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Reliever Samuel Deduno turned in two perfect innings of relief Friday and struck out five of the six batters he faced.
In seven Grapefruit League appearances spanning 13 1/3 frames, Deduno has allowed just three runs for a 1.76 ERA. He has scattered seven hits, issued six walks and fanned 14 batters.
Manager Ron Gardenhire likes the versatility the right-hander brings to the bullpen.
"He might be a guy that you run out there in the sixth inning or so if a guy runs out of pitches, and he might finish the game," Gardenhire said. "The way he's throwing the ball, he could actually finish the game. ... The guy's running through innings pretty good, so we can probably use him in different ways. I know this, he can punch people out, he can get out of innings in a heartbeat. He can also create some of those innings, but he brings you another look, which is something we wanted. We've had a very good bullpen, and putting him out there is kind of fun. It'd be fun to see how many different ways we can use him.
"He might walk two guys in a row, but he has the ability to strike the next three out. That's what you get with power pitchers -- guys with good, hard breaking balls. And honestly, I know his fastball's 88-90 mph, but with the movement that he has, he's a power guy. He's hard to hit and he is a strikeout guy."

Blake, a question for you.
I notice is some threads you kind of put down the star plastic, example: Star. Maybe it's the hype more than the plastic. Anyway, I noticed a few star discs on the new best of awards. Just curious as to how you feel about the star plastic and why these discs made the list?

Category: baby name Portia
When we think of names related to the moon our first thoughts would probably be Luna, or the Zappa-esque Moon, or one of the ancient goddesses of the moon—Phoebe, Artemis, Diana, or Selene.
But what about the names of actual moons, of some of the many satellites rotating around the planets? Luckily for us namebodies, many of their names were taken from ancient Greek mythological figures (several after lovers of Zeus)–particularly those around Jupiter and Saturn— while the names of Uranus's twenty-seven moons have a decidedly Shakespearean bent.
Here, the Nameberry Picks of the best lunar names:

text: Having read through all the posts on here - the good, the bad and the downright ignorant - it's very satisfying to read such a positive comment from somebody who has professed to being one of Andy's harshest critics. Yes, that was some display yesterday and shows us why Andy has become one of the very best players in the world. Not only does he have huge talent but also total dedication to the sport, and all that that entails, i.e. sacrifice of leisure time and extremely hard work. Perhaps all his other critics should take a good look themselves and ask just what they have achieved so far in their lives before jumping in and putting the boot into the greatest tennis player Britain has ever had.

so if you meditate using anapanasati to access concentration and see the nimitta do you drop the breath and make the nimitta your new object of meditation? or keep the breath?
further, should you do a different combination such as once you see the nimitta you drop the breath and focus on a pleasant sensation only, ignoring both the nimitta and the breath, or focus on the pleasant sensation but keep the breath? or focus on all three, just two or what?

The Sasquatch Mountain Project Brings "Americana Jamgrass" to Cooper Creek Square
July 27, 2012
Winter Park, CO – The Sasquatch Mountain Project (SMP) is the serendipitous combination of three local musicians that perform originals and covers that inspire dancing, singing, and sometimes just kicking back and enjoying the music. SMP will play at this Friday, July 27 at Music on the Mall at Cooper Creek Square from 5:00-7:00 p.m.
Lead singer, songwriter Joe Rooyakker's musical roots are based in country /folk; vocalist and lead guitar Tim Hubbard carries the band's "rock-n-roll" edge; while Scott Torello, locally known as "Sasquatch," has a fondness for bluegrass.

With 20 strings and three vocalists, the band enjoys playing some original songs and performing some of their favorite artists' tunes in the SMP style while still allowing the audience to dance and sing along.
Music On The Mall is a summer concert series held every Friday through September 2 from 5:00-7:00 p.m. at Cooper Creek Square in Winter Park. The series is free and open to all ages. For more information go to http://www.coopercreeksquare.com or call 970-726-8891.

Discussion in 'Miscellaneous' started by Spaceman Spiff, Oct 20, 2010.
ETA: isthatcherdeadyet.com has changed since I was there last: http://www.isthatcherdeadyet.co.uk/
I'm young enough and American enough not to know what Margaret Thatcher sounded like, so I read that quote in my head in Dolores Umbridge's voice.
She definitely did not sound like that.
And I'm old enough to think Who the frack is Dolores Umbridge - and not feeling enlightened when clicking that link
Maggie moments captured on video:
Anyone who imagines Mrs T was more evil than Hitler has serious issues...
^Well yeah, but you might see how some people are just saying that to stick it to her...
You should have started that sentence with "I pity the fool who..."
That would have been good
One for the NA$CAR Fans here.
^ I wish they could use that method on Joe Buck and Tim McCarver.
Isn't that supposedly what makes this a great country - the fact that we are different and welcoming? If we do the same thing that these other countries do, what supposedly makes us "better"? (and if there is an irony here that I missed, my apologies)
^ I need that one for my job.
I was posting it ironically. I think the "point" it makes is monumentally stupid. Just saw it on Facebook and it made me cringe, so I had to share the pain.
A similar image does the rounds on UK Facebook accounts with the country at the end changed. Makes me eye roll every time. I struggle to resist a multipage comment followed by an unfriending.

|Killian Creek
|Written by Jennifer Nodwell
|Friday, 13 August 2010 15:46
Killian Creek built a grist mill located on Beaver Valley Road on the Beaver Creek, Glasgow in Barren County, Kentucky. It was built in 1799-1800, it is still standing. When selling the property they signed their German names, Gullian and Margaret Greig.
The mill was on the cover of the South Central Kentucky Historical and Genealogical Society,"Traces of South Central Kentucky" Glasgow, KY: Volume 10, Issue 3, Fall 1982.
When Killian sold the mill to Simon Buford in October of 1799, Killian and Margaret signed the deed with their German names 'Gullian Grieg and Margarett Grieg.' The mill has been known as Kreek's Mill, Buford's Mill..."
The mill is historically significant, because it is 1799 architecture and was of a high quality. It is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
SOURCE: http://coolalien.com/family/killion.creek.htm
Killian CREEK, was born about 1750 to unknown parentage. The saga of Killian Creek is a fascinating tale, but it is fraught with the problem of establishing the facts, and eliminating the fiction. For that reason I will first bring to light some of the misconceptions that have hindered my research. It is evident that Killian Creek of of German descent, determined by the fact that he was known to speak German throughout his life. Killian Creek is the anglicized version of the name Gillian or Guillaum KREIG or GREIG which he uses on occasions when signing documents. Listed in Strassburger's "Pennsylvania German Pioneers" is a Jacob Krieg and a Casper Krieger on the "Snow Louisa" in 1755; August Kriech on the "Friendship" in 1754, and Philips Krieg on the "Neptune" in 1755. However, no connections could be made to Killian. Although most researchers seem to agree on 1750 as a date of birth, I was not able to document either the date or place of his birth. Further confusion results from the fact that there was yet another Killian Creek living during this same time frame. He came from Pennsylvania into Frederick County, Virginia; marred a Margaret Weitzell, and had male children with the same given names as our Killian Creek.

Six of nine cotton-top tamarin monkeys die at Oregon Zoo
PORTLAND, Ore. - Veterinarians at the Oregon Zoo are trying to figure out why six cotton-top tamarin monkeys died last Saturday.
The monkeys were part of a group of nine that arrived at the zoo a week ago and were put in a standard 30-day quarantine enclosure.
The zoo expects test results that may show why the monkeys died in a few days.
A zoo veterinarian says it's extremely unusual for six animals that appeared healthy on Friday to turn up dead the next day.
The zoo says the remaining three cotton-top tamarin monkeys appear healthy.

The chewstick for cleaning teeth was apparently borrowed from the Chinese and Babylonians. It is first mentioned as a common method of cleaning the teeth by the Romans. It consists of a stick a little smaller in diameter.than a pencil and about 6 inches long. It is made from any one of a number of fibrous woods. One end is chewed to separate the fibers and then the teeth are scrubbed one at a time. This method is still used in many parts of Africa and many Islamic countries.

The second room, pictured, is smaller with one window, omfortable double bed and wardrobe. There is central heat, air conditioning and always plenty of hot water; free WiFi, an electrical adapter and 24-hour access. The bedrooms are up on the 1st floor while the living areas (and bath) are on the 2nd floor so guests have as much privacy as they like. There is a nice patio perfect for relaxing with a drink after a long day before resting up and heading out for the night.
I'm in the hot Long Island City neighborhood, a center of NYC's film, television, new media & arts directly across the East River from midtown Manhattan. LIC is home to many art galleries, PS1/MOMA Contemporary Art Center, the Sculpture Center, the Noguchi Museum and Socrates Sculpture Garden and a park with breathtaking views of the United Nations right across the river. It is home of Silvercup Studios, New York's largest television and film studio, and you'll often encounter filming on the streets. There are many excellent small restaurants of all sorts that serve the local community.
LIC is a transportation hub with 7 subway lines are within a 1-3 minute walk; it's just 1 stop to midtown Manhattan, 2 to Rockefeller Center or Central Park, 6 minutes to Grand Central Station, 10 to Times Square, 15 to Greenwich Village or Brooklyn Bridge. The subways run 24/7 and these lines are heavily frequented and safe at any time. I'm happy to provide subway maps, an orientation and appropriate apps to help my guests get around easily.
Guests are free to come and go according to their schedule, and are welcome to join me and my friends in the lounge, or fix a meal in the well-equipped kitchen. I enjoy cooking and often have delicious, relaxed dinners with friends that guests often attend and contribute to. My guests are welcome to use my extensive library of books about New York City as well as Time Out Magazine, a comprehensive listing of what's going on the city.
Your host, a recognized expert in NYC history and culture can be an invaluable source of information on nightlife, discount shopping, architecture & history guided or unguided walks, perfect itineraries, great bus expeditions through various neighborhoods, terrific inexpensive ethnic restaurants, reduced theater tickets and more. Since 1997 I have provided a home away from home for independent travelers interested in venturing beyond the standard tourist itinerary, engaged people with strong interests and passions, who, like me, have kicked around a bit and have their own stories to tell..
I work out of the house so am always available, and love sharing my knowledge and experience with my guests, helping them to make the most of their visit to my city. I know that coming to New York can be a very expensive proposition, is often a once-in-a-lifetimes trip and want to do everything I can to help my guests make this one of their best vacations ever.
Traveling tips:
1. Even if you're going to be here for less than 7 days, do buy a $30 7-day unlimited MetroCard for the subway and buses. It's economical and makes sense even if you're going to be here for just 4 days.
2. Download an app called Citymapper which will help you navigate our very vast and extensive subway system. You can get specific directions and have access to the subway map - very helpful.
3. 2. Get ready to walk! NYC is built for walking, and although you'll probably have an unlimited MetroCard for the subway, you're still going to be doing a lot of walking!
4. What you MUST bring is a pair of really comfortable, thick-soled shoes. A fair number of guests have come with thin-soled shoes and then get sore feet, although in retrospect, it might just be another reason to shop some more!
A note for our foreign visitors: please be aware that it is customary to tip 15-20% when you eat out at restaurants. Waiters/waitresses do not get paid a normal salary and rely on tips to make their wages, so be generous to our poor service people!! Of course, if the service is not good, then you can reduce tips appropriately, but here in NY, 15% is the minimum. The only other person you tip is a taxi driver who generally gets about 10% of the metered fare.

Reviews of this property
Que vous dire sur Allan..... Nous sommes allés à New-York sans vraiment parler anglais, mais heureusement Allan était là, dans un français impeccable, il nous a conseillé plein de sentiers en dehors du tourisme de masse, genre les restaurants dans le queens, tout ce qui est culturel n'a pas de secret pour lui. En plus d'être d'une aide très précieuse, il est super disponible et très sympathique. Nous l'avons même invité à venir en vacances chez nous..... Pour vous dire que nous le considérons plus comme un ami que comme un hôte.
En résumé Allan, il faut aller à New-york juste pour le rencontrer
The place is a wonderful surprising experience. A small townhouse between skyscrapers downtown two stations away from Grand Central . Clean, well equipped and it just feels like home. Allan is a charming and very caring host. Always figuring out places to go and comes out with not touristy tours/tipps.
The room and bed are big and comfortable.
Five out of five.
Nous avons passé un excellent séjour chez Allan.
L'emplacement est idéal, a quelques stations de métro du centre de Manhattan, avec le calme du Queens.
La maison d'Allan est très conviviale et renferme beaucoup de charme.
Allan est quant à lui un hôte adorable, toujours disponible et de bon conseil... un véritable guide culturel de NY.
Nous reviendrons avec grand plaisir.
Enjoy !
we had a fantastic 7 day stay with Allan at his spacious and inviting home in brooklyn, the room was clean and the bed was extremely comfortable. Allan was invaluable as not only a great host but as a knowledgable guide to new york, helping us navigate and find our way through the city.
Max, Allans doberman, was a delight too and after a day or so was comfortable with us.
couldnt recommend this location more. was excellent in all regards!
Allan nous a accueilli avec beaucoup de gentillesse. La chambre est très bien située, proche du métro qui plus est. Nous reviendrons chez lui avec grand plaisir.
Bonne continuation Allan, caresses à Max
Excellent séjour à New York. Allan et Max fidèles aux attentes décrites. Appartement sympa et situation géographique idéale. Grâce à Allan nous avons pu vivre à la New Yorkaise temps au niveau gastronomique que culturel. A refaire sans hésiter. Bien cordialement Xavier.
Nous avons passé, moi et mon compagnon, un excellent séjour chez notre hôte Allan!
Le voyage à New-York était de lui même génial mais d'avoir choisi de vivre chez l'habitant a rendu le séjour bien plus exceptionnel!
Nous n'avons pas été déçu de notre choix puisque nous avons trouvé toutes les prestations décrite dans l'annonce : une belle chambre spacieuse et propre, une très joli maison, un quartier plein de charme, une localisation juste parfaite avec le métro à quelques pas.
Nous avons eu un accueil chaleureux, un respect de l'intimité et une totale liberté de mouvement.
Allan est un hôte plein de bon conseil tout au long du séjour puisqu'il donne des bons plan pour des restaurants, des bars, ou mieux encore pour visiter des lieux moins touristiques et y découvrir le vrai New-York.
Si nous devrions retourner à New-York s'est sans hésitations que nous retournerions chez Allan, et nous le recommandons à tout le monde!
E' stata un'esperienza positiva. La casa è confortevole ed è vicino a diverse linee di metropolitana con le quali si raggiunge in brevissimo tempo Manhattan, il Queens e Brooklin. Il proprietario Alan, è stato molto gentile e ci ha dato dei consigli ottimi per visitare la città.
The place looks excactly like the pictures at internet. Allan helps you around to find your way to the subway, the best place to get breakfast and more good suggestions. Nice bedroom with evrything you need. We felt very comfortable staying with Allan and Max.

Topic: Yet another newly diagnosed cc
My name is Rose and I am so grateful to have a discussion board like this to share support and encouragement and information with others going through this shocking and profound experience.
I was diagnosed with a tumor last Wednesday (Feb 18) during a gall bladder ultrasound. It's been a whirlwind ever since. Tumor is well advanced but apparently I still have a shot at a liver resection.
I am 45 and have been an icon of healthy living in my community--organic gardening, nourishing foods, back to the land lifestyle, much time in the great outdoors. I have broken some bones and had miscarriages, suffered migraines most of my life but never experienced a major illness. This has been a HUGE shock for me and all my loved ones. I feel blindsided, trapped and a whole host of other emotions.
Have a battery of tests behind me and had a stent placed in bile duct with acute pancreatitic reaction. Have all the classic symptoms from jaundice, nocturnal crazy-making itching, dropping weight fast, root beer colored urine, and a hard time figuring out what to eat and working up an appetite to eat it. Suffer insomnia at night so have taken to the internet to use the time constructively.
Having a lot of discomfort and pain at stent site, from pancreas and general abdominal tenderness making it really hard to get comfortable anywhere. And the suffering has just begun apparently.
Looking for mutual support here and am joining the ranks of all you newbies that have showed up this week.

Tim Rogerson "Lilo" is a fine art giclee on canvas 14x11. limited edition size is 195. As an emerging, prolific artist with his own inimitable style, Tim Rogerson casts his artwork with a very evident energy and passion. Inspired by the works of Edgar Degas and Malcolm Liepke, the North Carolina native has embarked on an artistic journey that has taken him from Degas to Disney. Born in Kissimmee , Florida ,Tim Rogerson grew up as a child who lived the everyday life of a kid, playing outside and hanging out with friends, however, the artistic urge to create was always present, compelling him to apply the pictures and images in his head to paper and canvas. Moving from North Carolina back to Florida ,Tim Rogerson was accepted as a student at the prestigious Ringling School of Art and Design in Sarasota , majoring in Illustration. I was a very traditional art student and explored all the works from the old masters to modern art, says Rogerson. My influences include Degas and John Singer Sargent, with his perfect, confident brushstrokes. . . their work has allowed me to push the envelope with my own abstraction of life. Using the medium of oil paints,Tim Rogerson concentrates on capturing people in social settings. My personal style has emerged and I break down the composition into simple shapes, with each shape having its own palette it's a jigsaw puzzle of color to form an image, states Rogerson. I keep the backgrounds simple so as not detract from the main focus and so I can concentrate on the details of the central image. While studying at the Ringling School,Tim Rogerson gained the reputation as a rising artist and influence in his own right. His unique style was recognized when he was awarded the 2003 Best Painter Award from Ringling, followed by 2003 and 2004 Best of Ringling Award. One of his recognized works was an emotionally powerful portrait of Mr. Lincoln. After graduating from Ringling in 2004, Rogerson has embarked on a career as a professional artist. He has contributed his artistic abilities to Disney and SS Designs in Florida and is currently engaged in creating imaginative imagery for the popular Disney Fine Art portfolio, published by Collectors Editions Fine Art Publishers of California. My work will always evolve, becoming more complex and detailed, says Tim Rogerson. I want my paintings to celebrate life and stay fresh . . . I try to stay away from the basic routine and technique because my joy for painting comes from the challenge of creating something entirely new. Aboveallart welcomes Tim Rogerson's fabulous, fun, artwork Tim Rogerson "Lilo"

Robertson and Delsing re-elected chair, vice chair of NWB
More Ag News
North Platte Sen. Tom Hansen is expected to battle Heath Mello, a young senator from Omaha, for the chairmanship of the powerful Appropriations Committee of the Legislature, which controls the purse strings of state government.
Hansen, 66, has won respect by spending more time listening than talking. He has been on the Appropriations Committee since 2009. He was elected to the Legislature in 2006 and reelected in 2010.
Mello, 33, is one of the youngest state senators. He has described himself as a scrappy basketball player. He represents south and mid-Omaha. He was elected in 2008. Before that, he was a senior aide to Sen. Ben Nelson.
The committee chair is open with the departure of Sen. Lavon Heidemann whose term expired.
If elected to the chair the committee, Hansen would follow the path of former North Platte Sen. Don Pederson, who chaired the committee in 2005.
Hansen is a 1965 graduate of North Platte High School and operates Hansen 77 Ranch north of North Platte with his son Eric.
The Appropriations Committee authorizes support for operations of state government, capital construction, senators salaries, salaries of constitutional officers, deficiency appropriations, appropriations for special projects or purposes, transfers between or disbursements from various funds, funding for state employee compensation, and earmarks of certain taxes (like the cigarette tax), Hansen has said.
The Appropriations Committee is briefed by Legislative Fiscal Office analysts who review each state agency budget for committee members, who make decisions and formulate budget recommendations to be put before the full Legislature near the end of the session. The committee conducts hearings on each state agency budget to gather information and help shape their final decisions, Hansen said.

I'm sorry for my little absence from my blog, after my last exam I spent some time with my family and of course I did tons of things for my thesis so I hadn't the time and the energy to blog or go out, but finally seems the spring is here in Italy so I'll try to share more outfits! The past saturday I went out with my friends for a little karaoke event at the usual comic shop, we were few people but it was really funny. I wore another white outfit this time coordinated with my mermaid prism from Lockshop, I decided to straight it 'cause I didn't like how it looked with curls on me, now it's way better also if I don't think it suits me XD.
Hat Boy London - Cardigan h&m - T-shirt Glavil - Tights Ebay - Shoes Cute to the core
I also got the new limited Glad News lucky pack these days, it was really cheap compared to the usual 10.000 yen ones so I didn't know how many things I would get, I was luckily surprised 'cause I got two long sleeved shirts and the famous fur hat/scarf! Unfortunetely I'll sell the hat 'cause I already know I'll not wear it often, but it's truly amazing and soft!
I also ordered the Alisa Ueno photobook! I love her so much, also if we have totally different styles, but I started to really like this kind of "pastel grunge" so I'm sure I'll buy something from Fig&Viper when I'll have the chance!
Thursday I went out with my lovely friend Sarah after a long time, we bought some mangas, drank a hot tea and then we went to a japanese restaurant and ate too much ahah! I couldn't resist to wear one of my new purchases also if the outfit is really simple (unfortunetely at my parents house I haven't so many things now XD).
Sweater Glad News - Choker Ghost of Harlem - Shoes Ebay - Leggings Terranova
Next time I want this big boat all for me >:D (it was only the first plate we ate and everything was delicious as the previous time, definitely my favorite restaurant in this moment!)
If you don't know already I organized a giveaway in collaboration with LoveShoppingHolics! It's really easy to join it, you can read everything HERE ! The prizes are 1 pair of circle lens of your choice and 1 cute animal lens case! Don't miss this lovely chance *_*

About the Author
One of Janet Tronstad's favorite childhood memories is of borrowing Zane Gray novels from her grandfather's bookshelf.
"There probably weren't more than fifty titles there," she recalls. "It was only a shelf of old books in the back bedroom. But it was the call to adventure for me. I still remember what it felt like to start reading a new book. It's the same excitement I feel today when I start writing a new book."
Janet, one of five children, grew up on a family farm near Fort Shaw, Montana, a small town with a population of fewer than 200. This small town and the thriving church she attended have been an inspiration for her popular Dry Creek series of novels published by the Steeple Hill line.
"People respond to the characters I have in my Dry Creek series," says Janet, "and a lot of that is because of the sense of community they share. I think we all hunger to be in a place where people know us and accept us."
Janet likes to write books that show people struggling with issues in their life and in their faith. "We all struggle," she says. "That's why we like to read about other people who are facing problems."
In addition to the Dry Creek series, Janet is also currently writing books that are set in urban locations.
"The rural-urban switch is one I've been conscious of in my own life since I grew up on a farm and then, with graduate school and various jobs, lived in several large cities before settling in Pasadena, California," says Janet. "I often have a character that grew up in a small town and just moved to a big city or the other way around."
Inherupcoming novel Going to the Chapel, Janet writes about a young woman who grew up in the relatively small town of Blythe, California, and then moved to Hollywood, hoping to find not only an exciting job but also the respect of her family.
Janet holds a master's degree in journalism from the University of Wisconsin and was published in various national magazines before she started writing fiction.

ORANGE – Christine and Lon Cross visited Chapman University for the first time recently and were taken by the campus' beauty, the friendliness of faculty and staff, and students' devotion to learning.
That's when the couple decided to leave their legacy at the university: On Friday, the university announced the couple would commit $10 million to Chapman to fund need-based scholarships.
"We met many wonderful students who told us the effect scholarships had on their lives," said Christine Cross, 65. "A Chapman education is too important and too valuable to be available only to those who have the means to attend."
University President Jim Doti made the announcement during his annual State of the University address.
"Of all gifts that a donor can bestow upon a university, nothing has more impact on students than scholarships," Doti said. "We are immensely grateful to Christine for her generous commitment, which will open the door to a Chapman education to countless students in years to come."
Christine and Lon Cross, 67, live in Orange Park Acres. They are retired from the hospital-management business.
Doti shared during his speech how he met the couple two years ago while waiting for a valet at a function in Huntington Beach. Doti invited the couple for a tour of the campus. The couple had never been to the school even though they lived just a few miles away.
The $10 million gift will establish a permanent Christine and Lon Cross Endowed Scholarship Fund. The commitment is among the largest Chapman, a campus with 8,000 students, has ever received. In 2009, Chapman received an anonymous $25 million gift to build a new performing-arts center.
