Police, community and calendar briefs for July 31, 2013.
Ocala man charged with DUI manslaughter
Police arrested a 33-year-old man Tuesday on a warrant for DUI manslaughter in connection with the death of his girlfriend in a January 2012 crash on Northeast 36th Avenue.
Ocala Police Department investigators picked up Jason Douglas Odier at his northeast Ocala residence. He declined to talk with them. On Tuesday evening, he was being held at the Marion County Jail in lieu of $50,000 bond.
Meloni Bye, 39, was killed in the crash at about 7:15 p.m. on Jan. 19, 2012, in the 3100 block of Northeast 36th.
Investigators concluded Odier was driving the 2006 Nissan in which she was a passenger and that he was speeding and driving without headlights. According to OPD, his blood alcohol content was .138. Under state law, a driver with a level of .08 is presumed to be intoxicated.
At the crash scene, Traffic Homicide Investigator Harold Compton interviewed Dave Schroff, who said he was driving out of a private driveway in his pickup and did not see the car until they collided, according to an OPD report.
Schroff told him the northbound car struck his truck, slid across the street and hit a pine tree, which broke and fell on the car. Schroff said Odier climbed out of the vehicle through a rear door and waited with him for paramedics to arrive.
Odier told paramedics there had been two other people in the car besides him and that he had not been driving, according to the report. Paramedics later removed Bye's body from the passenger seat.
At the hospital, Odier told Compton another man had been driving but he didn't know the man, according to OPD. Later, Odier maintained he could not even give an accurate description of the third person.
The victim's daughter, however, told Compton that Odier had been the only person with her mother when they came by to drop off food the night of the crash.
Two charged in Citra armed robbery, shooting
Two suspects have been charged in an armed robbery and shooting that occurred on Friday in Citra.
Montel D. Brown, 20, of Citra, and Ferron Lee Williams, 19, were charged with robbery with a firearm and attempted felony murder, according to Marion County Sheriff's Office reports.
The victim, who was shot in the leg, told detectives that he and another man had arrived at his Citra home in the 17300 block of Northeast 18th Avenue. He got out of the vehicle and was approached by two men wearing masks and dark clothing.
The gunmen demanded everything they had, the victim said. His passenger got out and ran away.
The victim said he heard three loud bangs and then felt a pain in his leg. A robber pointed a handgun at his head and ordered him to get down. The victim said he fought with the suspects as they reached into a pocket and removed his money.
He recognized one of his attackers as Brown. In an interview Friday, detectives said Brown not only identified Williams as his accomplice but also said they only wanted to rob the victim and didn't want to hurt anyone.
Sheriff's detectives found Williams on Tuesday. He denied any part in the robbery.
Burglary suspect moved, will face more charges
A 22-year-old Inverness man who faces multiple counts in several counties, including Marion, now faces additional charges in Citrus County.
Kyle Lee Chunn, described by law enforcement officials as a "one-man wrecking crew," faces Citrus County charges of grand theft, lewd and lascivious battery on someone 12 to 16 years old, and violation of his probation for robbery with a firearm and aggravated battery.
Chunn, who was being held at the Marion County Jail since his May 30 arrest in Belleview, has been sent to Citrus County to face those charges.
MCSO: DUI suspect was well over the legal limit
A driver whose blood alcohol content was found to be more than four times the legal limit was arrested early Monday morning.
Marion County sheriff's Deputy Daniel Jones Jr. received a report of an erratic driver in the 4800 block of North U.S. 441 who had almost struck another vehicle head-on.
Jones stopped the 1998 Dodge Neon in the 7700 block of North U.S. 441.
The driver, identified as Leroy Gordon Parker, 52, had an odor of alcoholic drink coming from his breath, and his eyes were watery and bloodshot, according to a Sheriff's Office report.
Jones called for Deputy Gary Miller, a DUI expert, who asked Parker if he wouldn't mind doing a field sobriety exercise.
Parker failed the test and was arrested at 2:20 a.m. Monday, according to the report.
Breath tests showed blood alcohol levels of .327, .348 and .337 — more than four times the .08 limit at which a person is presumed too intoxicated to drive.
Parker was taken to Munroe Regional Medical Center for treatment. At the hospital, his BAC was found to be .384.
Parker was later taken back to the jail, where he was charged with a second-offense DUI. He was previously convicted of DUI in 1993 in Marion County.
Jail records indicate Parker was released at 9:18 p.m. Monday.
Summerfield woman, 86, bilked out of $105,660
SUMMERFIELD — An 86-year-old Summerfield woman fell prey to a lottery scam that bilked her out of $105,660.
The victim, who was told she had won the lottery, sent money transfers for more than a year, according to the Marion County Sheriff's Office.
The Sheriff's Office learned about the case from a Sumter County sheriff's deputy, who was notified by the victim's bank about a possible scam.
The woman had been contacted by a man, who told her his name was Kevin Thomas, according to a report by Marion sheriff's Deputy Eric Larson. The man told the victim she had won $1.8 million but before she could collect her prize she had to pay taxes on the winnings. Beginning in mid-June 2012, the woman sent wire transfers to Canada.
The woman said not all the calls — which came from an unknown number — were accommodating. Sometimes the caller was threatening. The deputy noted that the victim had nearly 80 missed calls on her home phone and cellphone.
While he was with her, the victim received several calls from unknown numbers. At her request, the deputy answered the phone. When he identified himself as a sheriff's deputy, the caller disconnected.
Ocala man found with counterfeit checks
BELLEVIEW — A 46-year-old Ocala man faces nearly 50 counts of possessing fraudulent checks after Marion County sheriff's deputies found a slew of bad checks in his vehicle on Monday.
Last Thursday, Deputy Sydney Porter went to the Publix at 7578 SE Maricamp Road following a report of a counterfeit check. An employee said a payroll check for $496.32 cashed at the store on July 12 was returned as counterfeit.
The deputy went to the address of the name on the check. A woman there told him Eddie Joe Bryant had approached her about employment and given her the check, according to an arrest report. The check was written from a payroll account at Bank of America. The deputy checked with officials at the bank, who told him that, though the check was written on a valid account, the business name and address were not those of an account holder. The business name and address were fictitious.
On Monday, Porter learned that Bryant was going to meet someone and give them counterfeit checks. Porter, joined by Deputy Jason Webb, went to the Sweetbay at 11310 S. U.S. 301, and watched as Bryant gave someone two counterfeit Wachovia bank checks totaling $996.34, according to the report.
Bryant declined to talk with the deputies. They searched his vehicle and found 45 counterfeit checks, the report states.
Bryant was arrested and taken to the Marion County Jail. He was charged with 48 counts of counterfeit pay instrument with the intent to defraud.

FLOWERY BRANCH — Everyone wants to know if the Atlanta Falcons can finally win a playoff game under coach Mike Smith.
The Falcons whiffed on their first three tries, but now they're back as the NFC's No. 1 seed with a 13-3 record for the second time in three years.
Any reason to think this time will be different?
"It's a more determined attitude," running back Michael Turner said. "We know nothing is promised, nothing is guaranteed."
The Falcons learned as much the last two years, getting blown out at home by Green Bay and failing to score an offensive point in an ugly road loss to the New York Giants.
Those embarrassments, as well as the playoff defeat at Arizona four years ago, gave the Falcons a reputation as underachievers.
"We've got a zero in the win column in the postseason and until we get that rectified, they have some right in saying what they're saying," free safety Thomas DeCoud said. "But I think if we come out and play hard and play sound, I think we'll get that first playoff win."
Smith, now in his fifth season, made several changes to the approach he used when Atlanta earned a bye in 2010, deciding this time to schedule a 75-minute session on the field each day and lessen time in the film room.
Because the Falcons won't know their opponent until today, Smith wanted his players to concentrate solely on improving their craft.
For offensive players, the focus was to improve the timing of pass routes, blocking in the run game and the protection of quarterback Matt Ryan.
Defensive players worked on refining their techniques after the loss to Tampa Bay in the season finale. Buccaneers running back Doug Martin broke off three gains totaling 83 yards as the Falcons failed to get off blocks and took improper pursuit angles to the ball.
"That's at the core of what you have to do to be successful in football," Smith said. "That's what we need to work on. We don't have to worry about scheming this week, so we can really focus in on the fundamentals: tackling, blocking, running, catching. That's what our emphasis is this week."
Extra time
The light week is giving three defensive starters — end John Abraham, cornerback Dunta Robinson and strong safety William Moore — extra time to recover from injuries.
Abraham (left ankle) and Robinson (concussion) were both hurt against Tampa Bay. Moore hasn't played since straining his hamstring against New Orleans five weeks ago, but Ryan is confident all three players will be ready when Atlanta hosts either No. 4 seed Washington, No. 5 seed Seattle or sixth-seeded Minnesota on Jan. 13.
"The one thing that I think has helped us is regardless of what's happened during the week with guys practicing or not practicing, we've been pretty close to 100 percent almost every game," Ryan said. "Our guys have been out there flying around. That's helped me a ton. I think our timing has stayed pretty consistent throughout the year."
Throughout the locker room, players cited maturity as the top reason this year's playoffs won't be a bust.
Tight end Tony Gonzalez, the NFL's No. 2 career leader in receptions, said second-year receiver Julio Jones, third-year linebacker Sean Weatherspoon and second-year running back Jacquizz Rodgers are not "pups anymore."
"They're not little babies," Gonzalez said. "These guys are seasoned veterans, and they know what it takes to go out and play well, and I think that's the biggest difference. I think that's definitely going to help us get over the hump."
Gonzalez, who owns every meaningful league record for tight ends, nearly retired after last year's loss at New York before deciding to return. He believed then, and still insists, that the Falcons have all the resources to win a Super Bowl.
Equally enticing for Gonzalez was the chance to win a playoff game for the first time in his 16-year career. He was 0-3 with Kansas City, and is 0-2 in Atlanta.
"I think about it all the time, honestly. I'd be lying to you (otherwise)," Gonzalez said. "This is why I came back, to get through the regular season and get to this point, because I was going to retire last year. But this is why you play the game, and you always think about what you've gone through in the past and the tough, heartbreaking losses that I've had in the playoffs. Hopefully, it is for a reason."
Offseason moves
The Falcons made three big moves in the offseason to improve their postseason malaise.
Last January, Smith hired Mike Nolan as defensive coordinator and Dirk Koetter as offensive coordinator. In April, general manager Thomas Dimitroff traded for cornerback Asante Samuel.
An 8-0 start showed the players that Nolan and Koetter were deserving of their trust. Samuel's loud swagger enlivened practices for a defense that needed to boost its intensity.
It hasn't always been an easy ride. The Falcons looked sloppy in losing at New Orleans, at Carolina and to Tampa Bay in the second half of the season. But they were efficient and nearly mistake-free in beating the Giants 34-0 in Week 15 and winning at Detroit six days later.
Regardless of their opponent, the Falcons will need better production from Turner, who is averaging a career-low 3.6 yards per carry. The team also must shore up its run defense, which has given up a league-high eight rushes of 40 yards or more.
"We know the time is now," Turner said. "This is how you answer all critics and what they've got to say about you by going out there and winning."

Dallas offense 14th , Minnosta offense 29th
both have terrible defenses right now alowing lots of points
give me the Romo offense over the Min def in a 10+ point defeat
shut down peterson - you shut down the vikings
Question for me is can Vikes score enough to push the over? Cuz Dallas should be able to throw up 30+ without breakin a sweat aginst the porous Minny D.
I am actually a bit surpised that everyone is focusing on a side pick here. The best bet, I believe, is the OVER +49.5. Crunch the numbers any way you like it, average out the season, or the home/away, or just any way you can think of...
The simple fact of the matter is you have two of the worst-ranked defenses in the entire NFL. Period. And BOTH are at the bottom of the league against the pass, so... a fast-paced game with lots of passing, Romo will have a big day at home today.
I don't think the 10-pt spread is too far-fetched here, either. When you look at Minnesota's performance on the road and compare it with Dallas' production at home, 10 pts is pretty much on the money.
I think Dallas wins SU, but I wouldn't play either side ATS. Teasing it or playing Dallas ML, you would have to parlay with something else. The real value for me is the OVER.
I agree but feel that Dallas team total over 29.5 is a little safer in case Minnesota can't hold up their end of the bargain.

Rebel Activity in Syria
Posted 02 July 2012 - 01:09 PM
Some of the most popular content on my geography blog is my regularly updated map of the current conflict in Syria. The theme of the blog is states, territorial control, and boundaries, and this map is designed to show the territory and area of activity of the Syrian rebels to the greatest extent possible given the limited information available from news reports coming out of the country. I'm currently working on an update to the map, to be posted on the blog soon. Here's my current draft - the data isn't all updated yet, but I would greatly appreciate any advice or feedback on the design.
I'm actually not completely satisfied with the appearance of the map. I think its popularity is due mainly to utility rather than aesthetics. That said, for sake of continuity with the previous versions, I probably won't be making any radical changes to the design. But I might be able to incorporate some subtle improvements, and I'll remember any other advice for future maps of other areas.
A brief rundown on the creation of this piece: I started with a blank SVG map of Syria licensed from Wikipedia, and added all the cities, labels, and thematic information myself using Inkscape. As mentioned above, the data comes from media reports, though the complexity of the situation and the vagueness of much of the information necessitates a certain amount of "fudge factor" (i.e. subjective decisions).
All advice and criticism is welcome. Thanks!
Posted 03 July 2012 - 11:26 AM
My only suggestion would be to use the same font for your legend items as you use on the map.
What is it that you aren't liking about the aesthetics?
Posted 03 July 2012 - 04:58 PM
I think it looks a lot like a map you'd find in a good news magazine, very informative and well-focused. I can see why it would be popular.
My only suggestion would be to use the same font for your legend items as you use on the map.
What is it that you aren't liking about the aesthetics?
Thanks, Philip! That's high praise for me, considering that "good news magazine" is exactly my target look. Good catch regarding the font of the legend items. I'll change that.
My issue with the aesthetics is that I think it looks kind of "plain"...I'm struggling to find more descriptive words that that. Maybe it's a little bit overly dominated by gray and whitish colors, or there's too much blank space?
Thanks a lot for the feedback!

My issue with the aesthetics is that I think it looks kind of "plain"...I'm struggling to find more descriptive words that that. Maybe it's a little bit overly dominated by gray and whitish colors, or there's too much blank space?
I think for this kind of informational map you want the blank space. Otherwise non-important things will distract from the message. And I think the colors work fine, so I wouldn't worry about it. We could nit-pick it to death (I've been involved in those kind of discussions and they never end). The question is, does it get the message across effectively. Your choice of colors doesn't distract me, it highlights Syria (the warm yellow is very appropriate to bring it visually into the forefront), and the red draws my attention to the point of the map, areas of rebel activity in Syria.
If you want a few items to look at to improve, I'd suggest the following:
1. Lighter borders for countries outside of Syria. Maybe a shade of gray darker than the color of the countries.
2. Rename the title to "Rebel Activity In Syria"? Is that a more precise description of the map?
3. Remove the title and use the title in the legend along with the date to save space.
4. Lighten the border around Syria to better focus on the country. I find heavy border take attention away from the area of interest.
5. Make the border around the "Area of activity" legend item narrower. Also, maybe instead of black use a darker red matching the color.
Posted 05 July 2012 - 12:16 PM
I was considering labeling the other countries with their names, since that's useful information for the readers, especially where rebel activity comes up against the borders. But do you think that would be too distracting?
Posted 05 July 2012 - 12:42 PM
Posted 06 July 2012 - 10:42 AM
As mentioned previously, maybe incorporating the title into the legend is a good idea. Also, since a lot of the activity is along borders with other countries, it may be informative to label neighbors (getting rid of the title will allow room for this). Would a simple road layer be necessary to perhaps show the correlation between "activity" and roadways (if there is a correlation)?
Thanks for posting!

Looks fine. Details: all the city names (except Rastan) could be next to their dots, without the leader lines. Needs some sort of scale; who knows how big Syria is? The progression of city dot colors is a little confusing. Maybe use dark red for mostly controlled, medium red for partially controlled, and hollow dark red circle for formerly controlled. Make Damascus also a dot, though it can have a star inside the dot.
Thanks, Dennis.
I've just moved Houla to be next to its dot, but I'm concerned about Zabadani, Qusayr, and Taftanaz bumping up against or overlapping the international border, which might make them hard to read.
I really like your suggestion for the dot colors, but I'm worried that switching the bright red and the dark red would be confusing to people who have been following the previous editions of the map. My logic for having dark red indicate partial control is that it's between bright red (mostly controlled) and black (no history of control), but I do see what you're saying. And gray for former control is completely arbitrary.
Good idea about making Damascus a circle with the star inside. For some reason I didn't think of that. As for the scale, do you know if there's an SVG template for that that I could find somewhere online?
Posted 09 July 2012 - 01:16 PM
What about the black dots on the map? Are they "No history of control"? The differing sizes of dots also is a bit confusing (especially to laymen), I understand that the size difference most likely represents population, but there is nothing on the map to confirm this. Maybe this isn't a huge concern, but I wouldn't assume anything about how a person might interpret your symbology. At Al-Qamishli, it shows as an area of activity, but has a black dot...are we to assume that the rebels are on their way to controlling this area (your blog narrative may answer this question).
As mentioned previously, maybe incorporating the title into the legend is a good idea. Also, since a lot of the activity is along borders with other countries, it may be informative to label neighbors (getting rid of the title will allow room for this). Would a simple road layer be necessary to perhaps show the correlation between "activity" and roadways (if there is a correlation)?
Thanks, Michael!
Yes, the black dots indicate "no history of control", and the sizes of the dots correspond to population. My original idea was to include all this in the legend, but space is limited. Still, I'll look into clarifying those things.
Control and activity are treated as separate issues here, so the color around Qamishli indicates that the city is not rebel controlled, but that rebel activity has been reported in the area including or surrounding the city. Any ideas on how to make that clearer?
I'm afraid roadways might make the layout too busy. I also don't have a ready-made roads layer available, so it might be a lot of work to add that. Actually, the most relevant correlated data would probably be population density - the majority of the non-red areas are very sparsely populated. But I can't think of a good way to include population density on the map without making it too confusing. Maybe I could just present a separate population density map alongside this map if necessary.

I'd love to hear everyone's thoughts. Ideas that were suggested but not incorporated this time are also still up for discussion!
Thanks so much.

I'd put Armanaz with no leader, and move Talbiseh up a couple of points so its leader can be shorter and avoid the Lebanese boundary. I'd also make the leader lines go to the center of the city dots.
It would be nice for the Area of armed activity rectangle in the legend to have a fuzzy boundary—and maybe even a free shape—like the areas shown on the map.
One final nicety: there's no real need for the gray boundary around Syria, as the color difference already communicates that a border exists. But I understand that in some datasets this can be a lot of trouble to eliminate.

I took some of Dennis's most recent advice into account, though I still chose not to change the colors of the dots. I don't feel it's appropriate to make major changes to symbology, for the sake of continuity with the other maps in the series. My reasoning for the dark red was that it was a halfway between the bright red of rebel control and the black of "no history of control", though I can also see the logic behind referring to the gray rather than the black. I ultimately decided I preferred the gray border around the country to stay, but I did tone it down a lot.
Thanks so much for all the advice. If anyone still has more to say, I can consider taking it into account for future maps in this series.
Posted 11 August 2012 - 09:58 AM
I'd appreciate any advice, especially regarding the how clear the new symbology and legend are.

Kaley Cuoco's going short and sassy for spring.
"The Big Bang Theory" star debuted a drastic new look on Wednesday, and posted several shots of her stylish 'do on Instagram.
"Here we go!" the 28-year-old actress captioned the below photo, in which she can be seen sitting in stylist Christine Symonds's chair at the Andy Lecompte salon in West Hollywood, California.
In March, Cuoco tricked fans (and a few media outlets) when she attended the Kids' Choice Awards sporting a messy bun, even though she had jokingly uploaded a photo which looked like she was going in for a serious cut prior to hitting the red carpet. Clearly, Kaley liked what she saw!
"Cut,color, joy, joy,joy !!! Thank u @clsymonds and Vanessa @andylecomptesalon," she wrote along with the close-up pic.
"Thanks to this little gem for giving me this killer haircut !!!" she captioned this next photo.
What do you think of Kaley's new bob?

Georgia minister visit to INTERPOL underlines close cooperation with formal recognition of travel document
LYON, France – Underlining Georgia's commitment to global security and law enforcement cooperation, Minister of Internal Affairs Irakli Gharibashvili formally recognized the INTERPOL Travel Document during his visit to the world police body's General Secretariat headquarters.
Minister Gharibashvili and INTERPOL Secretary General Ronald K. Noble signed the agreement which will grant visa exemption to holders of the travel document travelling to Georgia, thereby significantly speeding up the ability for INTERPOL officials to respond to any calls for assistance or support.
"Georgia is proud to be among those member countries which have recognized the Travel Document and it is further evidence of our commitment to global police cooperation via INTERPOL," said Mr Gharibashvili.
"We look forward to developing our productive relationship with INTERPOL even further in combating all forms of transnational crime," added the Minister.
With Georgia actively involved in INTERPOL projects including Millennium, which targets transnational Eurasian organized crime, and Kalkan, a counter-terrorism initiative focusing on Central and South Asia, Secretary General Noble said the country was making a real difference in boosting regional and global security.
"Georgia is a strong supporter of INTERPOL in tackling a range of crime areas and their formal recognition of the INTERPOL Travel Document is yet further evidence of their involvement in our ongoing efforts to make the world a safer place," said Secretary General Noble.
"Minister Gharibashvili's visit to the General Secretariat headquarters has enabled us to identify other areas where we can work even more closely together, especially given Georgia's strategic importance sitting at the crossroads where Europe meets Asia," added the INTERPOL Chief.
During his visit, the Minister – accompanied by Colonel Aleksandre Arakishvili, Head of the National Central Bureau in Tbilisi and Dr Tamar Taliashvili, Head of Administration of the Ministry of Internal Affairs – also met with other senior INTERPOL officials and was updated on the world police body's range of global tools and services.

ISU has published the entries today:
General thoughts:
Men (41 entries listed/only 34 qualified so far):
* Song going instead of Yan, maybe fair enough but Nan's chances to go to Sochi are actually better if Yan goes.
* Ponsart instead of Besseghier? French fed never fails to pull W.T.F. assignments.
* No Raya despite having the scores and the spot available. Stupid spanish fed.
* Of all the not yet qualified skaters only Parkinson has a slight chance to get it.
Ladies (40 entries listed/ only 32 qualified so far):
* When did Patricia Glescic got the scores? I missed that.
* Francesca Rio instead of Roberta Rodeghiero despite the later having reached the scores while the former hasnt.
* Meite was chosen instead of Gilleron-Gorry. yay
* Gjersem and Van Daele are going for the LP score today at Challenge Cup. Afonkina may get it at Jr. Worlds. All the others not qualified are hopeless IMO.
Pairs (21 entries listed/only 18 qualified so far):
* Pang/Tong and Sui/Han listed, doubt they will actually appear. They din't incluide Wang/Zhang as substitutes which is stupid. This could cause CHN getting only one spot for Sochi.
* I so want Lavrentieva/Rudyk to get the scores at Jr. worlds
Ice Dance (34 entries listed/only 29 qualified so far):
* I don't really get the point of entering teams without the scores here. There's not any senior dance competiton from now till worlds so they're basically OUT. The only team still with hopes are the Uzbeks who will be at Jr. Worlds.
*There's a junior BLR team with the scores. I missed that also.
*Weaver & Poje are back, YAY.

Alansombe History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms
Patronymic surnames arose out of the vernacular and religious given name traditions. St. Alan was a Welsh and Breton saint and was very popular among the people of those two cultures.
Early Origins of the Alansombe family
Yorkshire where they held a family seat at Richmond, but following the pattern of many Norman and Breton families, junior branches of this distinguished name moved northward over the border into Scotland. They appeared to have settled in Dumbartonshire in Scotland.
Early History of the Alansombe family
Another 455 words (32 lines of text) covering the years 1320, 1447, 1463, 1469, 1656, 1640 and 1653 are included under the topic Early Alansombe History in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Alansombe Spelling Variations
spelling variations of Breton surnames, because the Old and Middle English languages lacked definite spelling rules. The official court languages, which were Latin and French, were also influential on the spelling of a surname. Since the spelling of surnames was rarely consistent in medieval times, and scribes and church officials recorded names as they sounded rather than adhering to any specific spelling rules, it was common to find references to one individual with many different spellings of their surname in the ancient chronicles. Moreover, a large number of foreign names were brought into England, which accelerated and accentuated the alterations to the spelling of various surnames. The name has been spelled Allanson, Alanson, Allansone, Alansone, Allansoune and many more.
Early Notables of the Alansombe family (pre 1700)
Another 37 words (3 lines of text) are included under the topic Early Alansombe Notables in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Migration of the Alansombe family to the New World and Oceana
An examination of many early immigration records reveals that people bearing the name Alansombe arrived in North America very early: John Allanson settled in Georgia in 1733.
The Alansombe Motto
The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: Virtute et labore
Motto Translation: By valour and exertion.

| Topic: Support Quran for Non Muslims Project
Posted: 29 February 2012 at 10:24am
Assalamu alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakaatuh.
As you may know IslamiCity has a project named "Quran for Non Muslims".
About this Project:
https://www.islamicity.com/donate/ Click "Quran for Non Muslims".
IslamiCity's Request Free Quran Page:
We provide Qur'ans only to non Muslims in the United States. A majority of those who request Qu'rans are genuine and want to learn more about the Qur'an and Islam. They have made the request, rather than being approached on on the street or at a booth.
We follow up after we send the Qur'an, to make sure they receive it, and to answer any questions they might have. By the grace of Allah over one thousand have become Muslim due to our distribution and follow-up effort.
Due to the recent incidents in Afghanistan, our free Quran requests have surges. Typically we only recieve about 10-15 per day. Alhamdulillah on February 28th, 2012 we received over 80 requests!
We asking for your help to fulfill this surge in requests.
For just $10/package we provide a non Muslim with a Qur'an, information brochures about Islam (women in Islam, definition of jihad, etc.), and most importantly follow-up.
To support this project please visithttp://www.islamicity.com/donate

Nice. I like your struggle regarding Quran.Holy Quran is word of Allah Almighty for all mankind. It has guidance for the entire human beings who live in this world. However, Non-Muslim also have rights to read the Holy Quran whenever they want to do. And a Muslim community should perfectly help them in understanding the Holy Quran.

My only concern is that it can be disrespected and not used for the purpose that is hoped. Anyone can go to the local bookstore and buy a Quran. Not only that you cannot just read a Quran and fully understand it. I am not sure spreading dawah in this fashion is really that helpful.
Being I was denied a room at a Motel 6 recently because I am a Muslim woman wearing hijab. I feel Islamophobia is rising especially since I have been Muslimah for the past 20 years and never had any discrimination based on I was Muslim.
I think really the actions of all Muslims should be magnified ten fold. We really should be on our best behavior due to the criminals who like to use our religion for their own agenda.
I just do not agree passing our Qurans will help pause any Islamophobia or create more understanding.

Assaalamu alaiki.
Congratulations! I am in support of your comment. To talk of Qur'an in isolation of any writing on a piece of substance is an indication of misunderstandikng what the Qur'an is. There is no alphabet ever written on a paper from 610 A.D but is not part of the Qur'an.
In an al-Jazeera program today, the Stream, Imam Hamza Yusuf mentioned the absene of intellectuals in the Muslim Umma. He is right for the place of our intellectualism is never taught and this is strict adherence to the Sunna of Muhammad Rasulullah. Allah described prophet Isaac as an 'ALEEM' (that is one with knowledge) and Ishmael as 'Haleem' that is mild-tempered, gentle and patient.
A man who is described as 'Haleem' is certainly an 'Aleem' but has the additional quality of leadership and concern for those around him. He does not act without weighing the prons and cons of his actions. He has the power of discrimination for he has the Final Written and Oral Law with him. But unfortunately the followers of Muhammad have abdicated that choice by the G-d of Abraham.
It is not a short sight or ignorance of the Principal Teaching of Islam on the part of Sheikh Zaid and Imam Yusuf to fail to tie and marry the abject poverty in the Muslim Umma to lack of observing the Pillar of prayer according to the Sunna of Muhammad Rasulullah. Even if 300 million dollars and ten times that is distibuted to the Indian subcontinet to empower the Muslim Umma, they will ever remain poor.
Unless Imam Yusuf leads the native Muslim Americans to pray according to the Sunna, Islamaphobia will ever stay in America. The hatred on the Muslims is a recoil of their insult on Muhammad in observing this Pillar.
Practically, I had a stop over in Rome from Stockholm in 1991. It was the time of zuhr prayer. It was summer and the sky was bright. I peeped through and looked at the ground. There was a shadow and hence I was able to locate the Ka'ba. I prayed in a corner in the lounge and by the time I finished I was surrounded my brothers from all walks of Islam. Some of them were from South America, USA, London, Australlia. We took different shots of photograph and they were all smiling!
Sister, I believe in what you said. Unless we sever our way of obeying Muhammad from the way the Arabs obey him, you will ever be humiliated and disgraced. Let us start exercising the freedom of speech by telling the truth and demonstrating right of association by following the Sunna.

Sparkling Spring Dessert Recipes
Key Lime Coconut Cake with Marshmallow Frosting
Billowy Meringue Frosting tops a moist and buttery lime-flecked cake whose subtle coconut flavor comes from canned cream of coconut.
Cherry-Berry Rich Shortcakes
Michigan's fruit belt inspired our Cherry-Berry Rich Shortcakes. We played up the sweet cherries grown in the Great Lakes State, along with blueberries and raspberries. A shortcake biscuit base and sweetened whipped cream complete the dessert.
Meyer Lemon Pots de Crème with Honeyed Kumquats
The creamy lemon puddings look and taste sophisticated but are actually quite simple to make, and they can even be prepared in advance.
Best-Ever Strawberry-Rhubarb Pie
Strawberry-rhubarb pie filling gets a touch of zesty ginger flavor, then goes into a slice-and-bake crust.
Berry Easy Cobbler
This crunch-topped cobbler calls for 3 cups of blueberries, but if you'd like a double-fruit version, reduce the blueberries to 2 cups and add 2 cups fresh or frozen tart cherries.
Kansas Sunflower Cupcakes
The Sunflower State's wheat crops and native state flower inspired our cupcakes. Frosting piped like petals turns the individual Kansas Sunflower Cupcakes into pretty treats. Wheat germ adds a hearty touch to the buttermilk-vanilla cakes.
Gingered Cantaloupe and Blackberry Shortcakes
Shortcake is a scrumptious showcase for fruit. This recipe calls for melon and berries coated with honey-ginger syrup on top of ginger-flavored cakes.
Peach Upside-Down Cake
The family behind Illinois' Rendleman Orchards has amassed some great peach recipes in 135 years of growing peaches. This cake is no exception. Peach slices and brown sugar form a moist base for the tender, square cake--and when flipped over, that base becomes the topping.
Lemon-Cream Cheese Pie
This creamy lemon pie, a longtime reader-favorite recipe, is a signature dessert at Al's Oasis, a family restaurant along the east bank of the Missouri River in Chamberlain, South Dakota (135 miles east of Rapid City).
Orange Batons and Macadamia Tea Cookies
You'll love the refreshing citrus flavor of Orange Batons, delicate butter cookies dipped in chocolate. Shredded coconut and white chocolate chunks make Macadamia Tea Cookies a sweet and chewy treat. Both recipes come from a Hillsboro, Ohio, reader.
Maple-Walnut Banana Bars
The math on these homey bars couldn't be simpler: one pan, one ripe banana and less than one hour from start to finish.
Chocolate Pavlova
Fresh fruit tops crispy-chewy meringue and whipped cream in this luscious dessert traditionally served at summer celebrations in New Zealand and Australia.
Crepes Suzettes
The classic French dessert is absurdly simple; soak crepes in buttery, boozy, orange-flavor syrup, then serve with whipped cream. Although unflavored Sweet Crepes are traditional in this dish, you could make a delicious orange-chocolate variation by substituting Cocoa Crepes.
Raspberry Cream Tart
Fresh berries work best in this elegant dessert (frozen berries get too watery). Keep fruit refrigerated and dry, and plan to use it within a couple of days of purchase.
Rise and Shine Cranberry-Apple Crisp
Spiced coconut streusel adds crunch to healthy aples and berries.
Kansas-Style Lime Pie
Finely shredded lime peel and lime juice combine in this light, airy and easy-to-make dessert from Petersen's Pantry in Emporia, Kansas. The recipe gives instructions for an orange variation, too.
Tinted Angel Cake
The many colors of Kool-Aid, a Nebraska invention, give an array of choices for this angel food cake that starts with a mix. Pink lemonade Kool-Aid adds pastel prettiness and a delicate flavor to Tinted Angel Cake. The tropical punch version gives the cake flavor that's as intense as its color.
Cheesecake-Sauced Fruit Parfaits
Blend just four ingredients to create this easy sauce from a Wausau, Wisconsin, reader. Serve over fresh fruit such as raspberries, blueberries or strawberries.
Candied Citrus Peel
If you can resist munching on all these chewy, sweet citrus bits, you'll find plenty of ways to use them in your kitchen. We like stirring chopped peel into granola or cookie batter, sprinkling it over vanilla ice cream, or dipping the pieces in chocolate. Keep in mind that lime peel does not taste particularly good when candied.
Raspberry Cheesecake Bars
Layers of cheesecake, raspberry filling, almonds and coconut form dessert bars perfect for summer picnics and potlucks.
Luscious Lemon Bars
Sweet and tart, these moist, powdered-sugar-topped dessert bars will disappear fast.
Vanilla Bean Crepe Cake
When did being vanilla become an insult? This stack of golden crepes and creamy mascarpone is simple, elegant and deceptively delicious. Supermarket crepes are larger than homemade ones, so if you use purchased, you'll need to make an extra half batch of filling, or just make a cake with fewer layers.
Honey-Berry Yogurt Frozen Yogurt Sundaes
Fresh raspberries, blackberries, strawberries or blueberries star in our Honey-Berry Frozen Yogurt Sundaes, which take only 15 minutes to make from start to finish.
Strawberry-Rhubarb Bars
Strawberries and rhubarb flavored with ginger make an appealing combo in this dessert. Drizzle just before serving with Ginger Icing, if you like.
Oatmeal Cherry Cookies
Dried cherries make oatmeal cookies even more memorable in this recipe from American Spoon Foods, which has locations in the Traverse City, Michigan, area. We like the cookies' crisp edges and chewy centers.
Raspberry Upside-Down Cake
Whipped cream and raspberries crown easy Raspberry Upside-Down Cake, from a Hopkins, Minnesota, reader.
Blueberry-Topped Lemon Cheesecake
This recipe features a luscious fresh blueberry sauce on creamy lemon cheesecake.
