|And you were worried about the turkey coma dulling your senses? Thanksgiving is a day when more than 100 million Americans will observe the most honored of traditions: gathering with family and friends to watch as many as 15 straight hours straight of TV. Hmmm…it's not the pecan pie affecting waistlines, methinks!

Executive Vice President
|How tweet it is! According to Dan Biddle, Twitter UK's head of broadcast partnerships, there are now a billion tweets sent every two days on the microblog service. In peak hours, 40% of all tweets sent are about television, while over 90% of the public online conversations about television are on Twitter.

|Old War Heats Up: The Aussie Free TV industry is busy slandering pay-TV again. "They want to take away SPORT from the PEOPLE……" Give me a break. For some reason, Australia is the only country in this hemisphere where the dialogue on TV regulation is marked by such sophomoric outbursts.
Jill Grinda
Executive Vice President
|Share and share alike? The European Commission is expected to launch a formal competition inquiry into whether "absolute territorial protection clauses" break competition law. Last year, the European competition commissioner sanctioned a fact-finding mission to see whether barriers to cross-border content warranted anti-trust inquiry and possible enforcement of action.
John Medeiros
Chief Policy Officer
|Note to Operators: Move Faster! A senior exec of member company Viaccess-Orca spoke out at a symposium in London, describing how Netflix killed Blockbuster by changing the rules of engagement with consumers. Pay-TV operators need to move faster, he said, to adapt and roll out multiscreen offerings, to avoid parallel shifts away from Pay-TV.
Desmond Chung
Associate Director, PR & Communications
|Just in time for the holiday shopping season, Bloomberg reports Intel has set an asking price of $500M for the assets of its would-be Web TV service, and is hoping to reach a deal by year's end. So if you are looking for a stocking stuffer…have we got a deal for you!

PROMPT: New Year Competition 2015
Beep! Beep! Beep! My harsh alarm clock woke me up with the same shocking blast every morning. It was like waking up to a bucket of ice water dumped over my head. I had created quite the same effect by placing my clock across the room on the bookcase. If I desired peaceful silence, which I very much did at five thirty in the morning; then I had to spring from the warmth of my bed, stumble blindly across the room, and pull the cord to my clock (I couldn't find the right button in the dark).
Dazed by the abrupt shift from warmth to cold, sleep to wakefulness, I flipped the overhead light on. My head throbbed from lack of sleep. For that I could only blame myself and the New Year's Eve party last night. Parties like that were murderous if I had school the next morning. They were so sinfully good, though, that I couldn't resist.
I quickly hopped in the shower. The spray of furiously hot water relieved the chill but it was over too soon. My ten minute timer rang, another annoying sound that begged to be put out of its misery. I wrapped myself in a heated towel that would only stay warm a minute, and stepped out of the shower. I hit the timer and indignantly turned my back on it. I proceeded to the mirror above the sink and smeared away the steam with my hand.
Last night's mascara was streaming down my face. It looked like I had cried black, shimmery tears from dull blue eyes. Hard to believe that last night he'd stared straight into those eyes.
By he I mean the handsome college student at the party last night. It was strictly a high school party with all of my friends but the hostess had a gorgeous older brother who lived upstairs during winter break. He'd wandered downstairs moments away from midnight to steal a handful of chips from the chip bowl. It was a magic moment. I reached for the bowl...
And my hand hit another. He'd snuck up so gracefully I hadn't realized his presence. Our first words were excuse me in unison. Then he asked if these were my favorite chips. I hated them; however, I said yes. He munched on a few, looked at me, and said, "I hate them."
"Opposites attract." It came out without me thinking. It struck me, seconds too late of course, how cheesy it sounded. It was almost as bad as the chips. Fortunately someone shouted, "Midnight!" The whole room joined in with, "Happy New Year!" I was momentarily distracted. When the initial roar had died down my focus returned to the beautiful college student beside me.
"There was something different about this year." He winked and turned to go back upstairs. I watched him take the steps two at a time and disappear down the upstairs hallway. I hadn't been sure if he'd been talking about the present year or the past year.
It hardly mattered, I thought as I wiped the shower ruined makeup from my face. I'd been in both of them.

Odour of Death
Paperback, 80 Pages
Price: $8.99
Prints in 3-5 business days
The condolence message lay on the small round table in front of Aditi and Avasthiji. Aditi was constantly looking at the message. The written words seemed to be the embodiment of death itself. Death can disturb anyone but an emotion goes with the death,-the age of the deceased. A child's death arouses pity and affliction because it has not seen anything yet. An old person's death produces sorrow and relief that the tired body has got salvation. But if a young person dies, we are shocked; we are not ready to accept it; we generally don't easily believe it.

Very excited to share the wedding of the stylish Chelsea and Sean at the gorgeous Citizen Hotel. Shooting in and around the hotel is so much fun.
In an attempt to keep my wedding blogs shorter, I tried to stick to my absolute favorite shots. I'll show the photos from the photo booth in another post.
I was able to work with the fabulous Athena Aronow of Athena Kalindi Photography for this wedding. We had such a blast!

Natural Organization & Small Toys
by Angela Heideke
Here is my son and daughter's playroom, at least the clean & organized corner of it! They have lots of small toys, so we got some wicker baskets to fit on the lower shelves to organize. We just did this last month and used to have plastic bins. The difference of the "feel" of the room is amazing! It looks so much nicer now.
We are in the process of slowly phasing out all of our plastic and battery operated toys because we want to focus on quality wooden and open ended toys. Open ended toys means that there are many ways to play with the item. Like a doll or stuffed animal is open ended because the child can carry it around as a baby or a friend or act out scenes with it. A toy that lights up and flashes and talks when you press buttons on it doesn't leave room for imagination and there is only one way to play with it.
Their playroom isn't perfect, we do still have some plastic toys and things but we are in the process. We probably will still have a few plastic toys, but our goal is to have more open-ended ones. This is the definition of "natural playroom" to us. :)
A lot of our toys are from Ikea because they are so affordable, but we do have some Haba and other European wooden toys too. Next up we'd like to replace some of the stuffed animals and dolls with more natural ones.
We started this switch because we felt like it was more healthy for our family and like to feel tied to nature.

I've had some exciting firsts this week I wanted to share with y'all. First...a quick little update on my little hip situation.
I went to the doctor today. I seem to be healing as expected, but am nowhere close to a full recovery right now. Running is still in the far horizon. I'm still to use crutches for the next 4 weeks, and he wants me to start physical therapy twice a week. So I do PT twice a week for the next month, and then have a recheck and go from there. I've been given a little freedom to start working out a bit more, within limits, so I'm doing a little (crutching) happy dance!
Now my firsts:
I did my very first yoga class last night. It was amazing. I recently joined a new gym, and they have a ton of classes that you can attend that are included in your membership. Score. I've been wanting to do a yoga class for ages but never want to pay the pricey fees for the classes. So last night I worked up the courage and went to one. The class I attended:
Ashtanga Yoga-a sequenced yoga practice which utilizes breath, poster, and movement to cleanse, stretch, and strength the body and mind. It is a powerful and strenuous routine which will leave your body totally revitalized.
I must be honest, I was nervous as crap before I went in. I started seeing Lululemon-clas girls walking through the locker room, and I almost psyched myself out. But I decided to just man up and do it. I of course took a spot in the back corner of the room mostly so people couldn't see me, but also so I could watch other people in case I got lost.
In the end, I loved the class. I definitely felt like a newbie and didn't know all the poses and whatever, but I felt great afterwards. I have to watch my leg and be careful doing certain things, but I was mostly able to keep up. Bonus-it is a heated room, so I was pouring sweat. Double win.
My other first is tonight I did a spin class. Hanna over at bouffe e bambini started raving out them, as she started doing them after a shin injury. Reading what she wrote made me want to try it, and I'm so glad I did. I definitely have to modify it to fit my hip at the moment, but I loved the class. Hip was sore afterwards, but I felt like it was worth it. Not as great as running, but still a good sweat.
Back to my happy dance for being active again. Wee.
Juneathon starts tomorrow! Who's ready?!
(of course tomorrow may be the one day I don't get a work out in. I have a crazy day scheduled. But I'm going to try my hardest. Just being honest.)

central button does not respond anymore
I have had this Ipod for 5 years and use it mostly at home plugged on Bose speakers. when doing a sync with iTunes yesterday, I noticed the center button does not click or respond anymore. I use the remote control when it is on the Bose speakers,
therefore I cannot chose a list anymore or artists..

text: We document dancers working in rehearsal, capturing this event as both an everyday reality and a performance situation. By exposing the rehearsal we want to heighten the complex relationship between the performative and the everyday, the constructed and the documentary. These factors are then multiplied. If a rehearsal is already in flux between the pedestrian and the representational, with the photo we can explore expectations of this reality. We are assuming the rules of choreography to create an image that is itself a performance. This peace was exhibited as part of the Whippersnapper Gallery Emergence Series.

Longford hang on for crucial win over Leitrim
While Longford moved a step closer to a place in Division 3 of the National Football League next season in getting the better of neighbouring rivals Leitrim at Pearse Park on Sunday last, they made hard work of scoring the crucial win and were hanging on in the finish with the visitors squandering a great chance of the equalising point in the 69th minute.
ALLIANZ NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE - Longford 1-8 Leitrim 0-10
The ball broke to Leitrim corner-forward Adrian Croal following a goalmouth scramble but his shot was blocked and the danger was cleared much to the relief of the Longford supporters among the estimated 1,500 attendance who watched their wasteful team kicked a total of 14 wides – eight in the second half of this tight local derby played in difficult windy conditions.
The narrow victory means that Longford will clinch promotion if they manage to beat Carlow in their remaining fixture at Pearse Park on Sunday next and will be facing former manager Luke Dempsey whose side are still in contention just a point behind in the Division 4 table with Wicklow also in the mix for the runners-up position.
It will be a real disaster if Longford slip up at this stage and must be fancied to overcome Carlow, particularly with home advantage. Should Glenn Ryan's side succeed in getting the win they need to get out of the dreaded Division 4 there is also the bonus of a National League Final against Roscommon at Croke Park on Saturday April 23rd.
Therefore, there is a lot at stake at Pearse Park on Sunday and Longford will certainly have to improve on their finishing which was also poor in the defeat by Clare in the previous round. Had Leitrim not kicked seven wides in the first half, it might have been a different story and moving the influential David Barden to midfield at the start of the second half proved to be a very shrewd move in the absence of the injured Bernard McElvaney who was a big loss.
David was most impressive throughout this close encounter and with Diarmuid Masterson coming a lot more into the game in the second half in producing a commanding performance at centre-half-back, along with a fine display by corner-back Declan Reilly, Longford just done enough to come out on top and were lucky to survive in the tense and exciting finish.
Paul Barden's goal in the 16th minute of the first half proved to be the decisive matchwinning score and it was a classy strike by the captain who planted the ball in the roof of the net after receiving the perfect pass from his brother David.
That left Longford leading by 1-2 to 0-2 with the points coming from Brian Kavanagh (2 mins) and Paddy Dowd (9 mins) while Emlyn Mulligan (frees in the 4th and 8th minute) replied for Leitrim who had to win to keep their promotion hopes alive and enjoyed a lot of possession in the first half.
However, they lacked a cutting edge in attack and only managed to register one more point during the remainder of the first half when Adrian Croal was on target from a tight angle in the 19th minute.
Longford were only marginally better in the scoring stakes with Paddy Dowd landing a well struck effort in the 18th minute and Leitrim had a goal chance soon after but full-forward James Glancy had his attempt blocked down by the industrious Paul Barden who dropped back to help out the defence.
It was against the run of play that the prominent Paul extended the lead for Longford (1-4 to 0-3) with a fine point just on the stroke of half-time and the Clonguish player almost scored a second goal with a minute gone on the changeover. Substitute Niall Mulligan burst through and passed to Barden who rounded the opposing keeper Cathal McCrann but made the angle extremely tight as he shot into the sidenetting.
That was a very lucky escape for Leitrim and while they quickly closed the gap with a point apiece from Conor Beirne (free) and Colin Kelly (play) in the space of a minute, Longford hit back with a brace of scores through Sean McCormack (free, 44 mins) and new midfielder John O'Shea (46 mins) who was making his first start for the county senior side.
Leitrim were beginning to catch Longford out on the counter-attack and they proceeded to enjoy their best spell of the game which yielded four points in a row through Conor Beirne (free), Adrian Croal (a terrific strike), James Glancy and wing back Wayne McKeon (a super score) between the 48th and 54th minutes.
The sides were now all square (1-6 to 0-9) and Longford were looking in trouble but a wayward pass resulted in another immediate Leitrim attack breaking down and directly from this costly mistake the home county regained the lead with a marvellous score from Paul Barden who shot over the bar from a very tight angle in the 55th minute.
Longford captain Barden was a constant threat to the Leitrim defence and moments later another substitute Peter Foy broke from the defence to land a point after receiving a pass from Donal McElligott.
But Longford failed to register another score during the remainder of the game as the wides continued to mount up and the pressure was back on when Emlyn Mulligan (first cousin of Shane and Kevin Mulligan) converted a free in the 63rd minute to narrow the gap to the minimum of margins.
Leitrim then suffered a severe setback when they were reduced to 14 players in the 66th minute, defender Wayne McKeon getting sent-off after receiving a second yellow card for a late tackle on Paul Barden, but they could have snatched a draw only for Adrian Croal to squander the opportunity of the equaliser from close range.
LONGFORD: Damien Sheridan (Dromard); Dermot Brady (Longford Slashers), Barry Gilleran (Longford Slashers), Declan Reilly (Colmcille); Shane Mulligan (Mullinalaghta), Diarmuid Masterson (Dromard), Noel Farrell (Colmcille); Martin Brady (Sean Connolly's), John O'Shea (Carrickedmond, 0-1); Paul Barden (Clonguish, 1-2), Paddy Dowd (Clonguish, 0-2), David Barden (Clonguish); Donal McElligott (Mullinalaghta), Brian Kavanagh (Kilmacud Crokes, 0-1), Sean McCormack (Killoe, 0-1, free).

Assessing the Skills of Your New Hires
If you're relying solely on resumes to field job applicants and hire new employees you're missing out on an invaluable resource. Assessments delve much further into a job applicant's experience, strengths and weaknesses than resumes and cover letters alone. It's a hidden tool for discovery that's hiding in plain sight.
The Candidate Analysis Report (C.A.R.) is one such assessment tool that can help you uncover the information you've been missing in the past. It provides an honest, unbiased estimation of a job applicant's potential. The assessment is also over 95% accurate at predicting a candidate's success and happiness in a particular job or career.
If you've never used assessments before, here are five ways they can make the hiring process more effective.
Find the Most Highly Qualified People for the Job
First and foremost, assessments help businesses identify the most qualified job candidates. A resume is a piece of paper that outlines job history. It does little in the way of telling you how the job applicant works and gets things done.
That type of information can only come from interviews and assessments. An interview gives you a feel for a job applicant and the assessment provides data. Because assessments analyze both skill sets and personality traits, they are like a combination between a resume and an interview without any fluff getting in the way.
Find the Best Fit for the Company Culture and Increase Retention
It's hard to determine if someone is going to naturally fit the company culture from reading a resume. It can even be difficult to do during interviews when eager job applicants are "on" and trying their best to fit in. But that's exactly the type of information an assessment will uncover.
Finding a culture fit for the company has a positive effect on productivity, job satisfaction, and retention. On the flip side, new hires that aren't a great fit can be detrimental all around. When new hires don't share the same values and work ethic as the rest of the office it can create a toxic environment that's less productive and produces lower quality work.
Hiring people who embody the company culture is too important and costly to ignore. An assessment is an extra step that digs into a person's core values and work ethic. With Lillian, you can even set benchmarks for certain traits you feel are essential to the company culture and use that information to narrow the pool of job applicants you want to interview.
Get a Better Understanding of How the New Hire Will Fit in the Current Team
There are clear indicators a new hire isn't fitting in with their team. Unfortunately, many businesses don't see the red flags until it's too late.
New hires are joining established teams that have figured out a workflow and how to work together effectively. Anytime someone new is introduced to the group it can throw the dynamic off if the new hire isn't the best fit.
An assessment can provide more details about a person's temperament and social behavior. For example, our assessments gauge a person's comfort with conflict and people orientation. This information tells you more about a person's personality type and how well they'll be able to work with others, not just whether a person can handle a job.
Fully Utilize a New Hire's Strengths
Without a thorough assessment, you may not be utilizing a new hire to their full potential. There's a good chance a new hire has skills and personality traits that go beyond their basic job role. But most people focus on the skills needed to land the job so other assets can go unnoticed.
Former military members are notorious for underselling themselves on resumes and in interviews. That's because many veterans have difficulty translating their military experience into civilian skill sets. We developed our hiring platform for the express purpose of helping small to medium-size business see the full potential of veteran employees through the use of assessments.
Gauge a Job Applicant's Potential for Progress
Ideally, you want to hire people who can and want to grow with the company. Startups, in particular, can benefit from employees that are invested in the company's success and helping establish the business.
Long-term employees are extremely valuable, but they can be extremely hard to find. For starters, you need to know if a person can grow with the company. Do they have strong leadership skills? Are they adaptable individuals that have a desire to learn? Next, you'll need to have a good idea of what the company can offer in terms of progression.
An assessment is a hiring tool that will help you get answers to the questions above. It can help you weed out the people who are simply looking for a job and highlight the applicants that are looking for a lasting career. From there you can dig deeper to determine who has the personality traits of a long-term employee who will progress with the company.
Don't let the wrong hires cost your business time and money. Let Your6™ Candidate Analysis Report (C.A.R.) discover amazing insights that will help you perfect your hiring process and find the best employees.

The following is from The Wysong-Fleshart Line papers from Donna Crockett Mowery, evidently published by Dr. H. Dudley Wysong in October, 1978. Feidt's grandson was William Joseph Fleshhood, the first "Fleshhood."
Feidt Weissang was born in York County, Pennsylvania about 1754, the 7th child of Lodowick Weissang and Mary Hammer. In 1775 or 1776 he married Elizabeth Phemach and moved to Shepherdstown, Berkeley County, Virginia (now West Virginia), where he was drafted into military service. After being discharged he moved to Fincastle, Botetourt Co., Virginia. In July, 1781 he was again drafted into the military service, and was present at the siege of Yorktown when General Washington accepted Lord Cornwallis' sword as a gesture of defeat and surrender.
Feidt was a blacksmith and wagon maker by trade. He wielded the hammer at the forge and pushed the plane at the bench. His shop still stands in Fincastle. He was evidently a serious minded and religious man. In his will he describes himself as a shoemaker (horseshoes). Feidt, by his first wife Elizabeth, had the following nine children: Joseph, Elizabeth b 1776-1777, John, Henry, George, Susannah, Jacob, Polly Mary, and Margaret. By his second wife Susannah Coffman, he had three more children.
There is a copy of Feidt's will with the above document.
Everything was going along well for Elizabeth and Feidt. Children were coming along in order and on a timely basis. However, there was a revolution going on, and in early October of 1778 Feidt was drafted in the Virginia Militia of Berkley County for his first time in the Revolutionary War.
The English had defeated the French and their Indian allies, so in 1774 they made the Ohio Territory a part of Canada. This created much displeasure among the settlers in the western part of Pennsylvania, Virginia and Kentucky because they wanted to settle this rich agricultural area.
The English, along with their Indian allies, were giving the Colonials hell in the western sector. The entire frontier settlements in Ohio, Western Pennsylvania, Kentucky and Virginia were being attacked by Indian raiding parties under the direction of the British forces stationed at Fort Detroit. The settlers became apprehensive and felt neglected. General Washington became concerned and wanted to stop this western harassment because it was taking part of his regular army as well as threatening his eastern activities. He wasn't doing too well in the east, anyway.
General Washington called on General Lachlan McIntosh for a meeting to discuss plans for an expedition against Ft. Detroit. In August of 1778 these two generals drew up plans for the building of a chain of forts west of Ft. Pitt. These were to serve as rest and supply stations for the campaign against Ft. Detroit. They were also to serve as a buffer against the Indian raids.
In August of 1778, General Washington replaced General Hand of Ft. Pitt with General McIntosh. He immediately sent out a draft to Yohogania, Monongahelia and Ohio counties, Virginia. These draftees were marched to Ft. Pitt and placed under the command of Col. Crawford. He organized them into his first and second regiments. They were then marched west to Beaver Creek where construction of Ft. McIntosh was begun.
Near the completion of Ft. McIntosh in October of 1778, more men were needed to establish and construct a fort farther west. Another draft went out to Rockingham, Augusta, Hampshire, and Berkley Counties in Virginia. That's when "up jumped the devil" and got ole Feidt and his brother Jacob.
Jacob Wysong had served one hitch in the Pennsylvania Militia before moving to Berkley County, Virginia. This was Feidt's first experience in the war.
Jacob was a drum major and Feidt was a private in the construction corp. Both were under Col. Morrison, Capt. Swearingen, and Lt. Isaac Johns. It must have been nice to have a brother and friend along on the rugged marches and campaigns that these two experienced. These fellows were marched directly to the newly constructed Ft. McIntosh. On October 27, 1778, Col. Crawford was ordered to form his third and fourth brigades from these Virginia Militia. One from Augusta and Berkley and the other from Hampshire and Rockingham.
On October 30, 1778, the Brigade orders called for "1,200 of the activistic and choicest men, ready to march at a moment's notice."
On November 4, the order to march was given. It took some time to get this organized and under way. It was four o'clock in the afternoon when General McIntosh finally got his troops moving out. They marched directly to the bottom of the slope of the Tuscarawas and began their climb to the top of the ridge. The route followed the Great Trail to its intersection with the Sandusky trail leading to Detroit, crossing the Ohio line and continuing a little south of what is now Negley and Lisbon. Six miles were made the second day, and on November 6 the main branch of the Little Beaver was forded. "This day Lt. Parks and Private Ross of the 13th Virginia elected, against orders, to hunt deer." They were the first casualties of the expedition, paying for their breach with their lives and scalps.
Col. Boyer's 69 men and pack train caught up with General McIntosh on November 11, and on November 12 a war pole was found along the road with the scalps of Parks and Ross on it. The Delawares reported these had been taken by the Wyandots.
This march was not an easy one, and some of the men were disgruntled and unruly because of being taken away from their homes at harvest time. However, punishment was also harsh -- 20 to 200 lashes across the back ain't exactly a fun thing, especially in freezing weather and snow. (I quote several of these incidents from Sargent McCready's orderly book -- not copied into this database.)
One of the major offenses which took time in court martial was the insistence of some of the troops of firing their rifles without orders.
The march was held up by rain, snow and generally cold, bad weather. By the 13th of November, they were only 50 miles out of Ft. McIntosh. On the 14th of November, word came that their allies, the Delaware Indians, would meet them at Sandusky Trail.
By the 16th, they were about 62 miles out of Ft. McIntosh but could not march on the 17th because of rain and very disagreeable weather. However, they did march on the night of the 17th and arrived at the Sandusky Creek branch of the Tuscarawas River about two hours before sunup. There they halted for the reception of their Indian allies. This is described in Sargent McCready's orderly book as: "And when our front advanced near theirs they began the salute of three Indian cheers from thence a regular fire was returned by a hasty running fire round our whole lines which being done we encamped around our brethren and included the place Col. Boqueat had formerly erected a block house."
There were orders against bartering with the Indians, another irritant to the militia, but nothing of consequence appeared in the journal of November 19 except "the employment of fatigues and artificers to carry on the work of the fort." On the 20th, McCready's journal noted: "The Indians made a present to the general of a quantity of venison and skins and express their great grief over the loss of white eyes, their chief, but assured the general there was yet among them that would render him much service as white eyes could do were he then alive. And to keep the chain as bright, they likewise insisted much on the general going down to their town to build a fort for their defense and safety."
They immediately began the construction of Ft. Laurens, the first fort built in Ohio, named after the first president of the Continental Congress. Even with all the disgruntled and misfits, these men worked long and hard in constructing Ft. Laurens. They finished in short order and due time.
On December 5, a pack train arrived and that same day the return to Ft. McIntosh for the main body of the Virginia Militia was approved. This left Ft. Laurens in the hands of Col. Gibson and 176 men and three women.
After the return to Ft. McIntosh on December 20, General McIntosh issued the following order: "All officers and soldiers of the line are to be served with a gill of whiskey each and the general is sorry horses could not be procured to bring more of this necessary article. They who came up with the whiskey are not to have any as two kegs are missing."
The General Orders of December 20 from Ft. McIntosh reflect the good manners, possibly exasperation, but at the same time understanding of a gentleman: "The general returns his hearty thanks to the brave militia of Virginia for a conduct during this campaign which would do honor to the best regular troops, except a few individuals who he hopes will stay at home the next time, and never come here again to poison and corrupt an army so determined to serve their country. That they many not be detained, he desires they may be all mustered this morning, agreeably to the Regulations of the 27 of October last; in order to enable them to make out their payrolls properly. After which, an officer from each county may stay to receive their money. As a farther mark of the general's satisfaction with the behavior of the militia he orders them to be served with a pint of whiskey each man, and be discharged immediately after they are mustered, although the time of very few of them is expired yet. He also releases Captain Pierce from his arrest, and pardons all those who have forfeited their pay by shooting or any other breach of orders; and requests the favor of all their field officers to dine with him today. This order is to be read before every company. The Adjt Genl and Major Leete are to muster their men, as there is no Muster Master or Commissary."
So Feidt, Jacob and the other Berkeley County boys, discharged December 18, 1778, head for home. Feidt rejoined his family in December of 1778 and stayed in Berkeley Co. through part of 1779.
Getting back to Feidt and Elizabeth -- On April 10, 1779 they sold their lot and other properties in Shepherds Town and moved to Fincastle, Botetourt Co., Virginia. In Fincastle he set up his blacksmith and wagon shop. Here he became quite active in civil and church affairs. We find that he served on the May 15, 1779 grand jury. He was also on the August 10, 1779 jury, and I copied from the court book the following: "Kian Tarvis, Aug. 10, set aside. Not guilty after the jury sworn to by the Justice Bivins at to wit: James Lockhart, Hugh Allen, Fyatt Wisong, George Wothz, Francis Flesheart, James Anderson, Conrad Francis, Jacob Gish." (Franz Flesheart was Feidt's son-in-law, married to Elizabeth Wysong.)
Then again in October 1779, Botetourt County Court, "George Seacott exhibited an account of the court for guarding Ralph Elliott, a criminal, to the district Gaol. 24 miles going the same route which was ordered by the court testified Fite Wysong the same; Henry Smith the same; Mish Book the same. Fite Wysong the same for guarding Med Masp's boy, the same as the night above. Fite Wysong in all his account to the county for keeping the courthouse up to this date amt. $25.00 doll(ars)."
What the above guarding and delivering criminals of the district represents is that those accused of being loyal to the King were taken prisoner and put in the district gaol (jail). Afterwards they were P.O.W.'s. The others arrested were put ___________ jail. Note that they spelled the district prison with the English "gaol" and paid ole Feidt $25 bucks to keep up the county jail.
Actually these people were not always guilty of being Loyalist. If a neighbor got overly peaved at a fellow, he could go to court and accuse him of being loyal to the King. In this way he could really lay something on a fellow. You went to the district jail guilty or not. I don't know if the neighbor had to apologize if you were later proven innocent.
It seemed that Feidt made a good move when he left Shepherds Town for Fincastle. He was making money. The kids were growing and eat'n good. He and Liz were populating the world as fast as nature would allow. He was becoming a real religious and civic leader of his local community. Things were just too good to be true. And, that's a damn fact because in July, 1781 came another draft. Feidt was back in the Virginia Militia from another county. He stated that he was drafted this second time under the orders of Capt. Joseph Looney, Lt. Tosh, and Ensign William McClanahan.
Feidt didn't have all the hardships and deprivations that he had in the freezing snow of his first hitch. This outfit marched from Fincastle to Bottoms Bridge, Virginia, a little south and east of Richmond. There they camped for several days. They were joined almost daily by other militia from various places. When they all had arrived at Bottoms Bridge, they were marched to Yorktown. There they joined General Washington in the siege of that place. Feidt remained in Yorktown until the surrender of General Cornwallis on October 19, 1781.
Sometime during the siege, Feidt was assigned to General LaFayette's forces. So he was on that side of the line of troops when Cornwallis' sword was presented. Ole Corny was too mortified to appear himself; his sword was tendered in surrender by General O'Hare. It is interesting to note that in 1783, General McIntosh was exchanged for this same General O'Hare. Mac was taken prisoner in the battle of Charleston in 1780.
After October 19, 1781, Feidt was again discharged and returned to his family in Fincastle. Things picked up right away, for he had been gone only three months. Liz was slowing down just a tad in the baby business, just scattering them out a little more. And the wagon and hoss shoe business must have been pretty good, for that year he was taxed on four cattle and ten horses. I guess it took four cows with all those children.
On January 8, 1784, Feidt bought his first farm in Botetourt County. He acquired this property from William McClanahan and his wife, Mary. Remember old Bill was Feidt's Ensign in his last army hitch. Feidt paid taxes on this and several other pieces of real estate until his death. In 1785 he was taxed on a log dwelling with a shingle roof and brick chimney. That's the way it was written in them days, folks.
On February 11, 1784, Feidt was appointed surveyor of the highway to be established from Col. Hancock's fence to John M. Creery's and thence to the house of James Hulse.
Also in 1785, Feidt was appointed to collect the Tithe taxes in the Catawba, Roanoke, and Fincastle areas of Botetourt County. Tithe taxes in Virginia were actually a head or poll tax and did not mean one tenth. Tithe tables were white males over 16 years of age, male and female slaves over 16, and bonded servants over 16.
On December 18, 1813, Feidt signed a petition "without regard to religious distinction" asking the Virginia House of Delegates for permission to build a church in Fincastle on the site of the old Episcopal Church. Permission was granted and that beautiful old church is still the Presbyterian Church of Fincastle. Feidt was buried in this church yard and you will find his name on the Revolutionary Soldier Monument in this cemetery. Elizabeth died soon after this.
Feidt remarried on March 22, 1816*, to a young chick. I say young because she was about 27 years old, born the same year as my great-grandfather, one of Feidt's and Lizzie's youngest. The second wife was Susannah Coffman. Feidt and Susannah started in the kid bit about the time the preacher said I pronounce. Anyhow, here come Elizabeth Ann, Harriet, and Sarah in proper time and order.
On the 28th day of March 1833, Feidt wrote his last will and testament.
On May 11, 1833, Feidt appeared at the courthouse, with witnesses, and applied for his Revolutionary War pension. He gave an affidavit about his two hitches in the army (now you know where Dr. Dudley Wysong got the above information). Of course, he got his pension and was paid $53.32 in March 1833, then paid a semi-annual allowance on Sept. 4, 1833 of $13.33. So his annual pension was $26.66.
Feidt was a blacksmith and wagon maker by trade. The shop, where he wielded the hammer at the forge and pushed the plane at the bench, still stands in Fincastle. He was evidently a serious minded and religious man, and one well thought of by his fellow townsmen. In his will he simple names himself as a shoemaker, "hoss shoes", that is.
The last contract Feidt made was one for the running part of a wagon between him and Catherine Rose. This is also contained the the file from Donna.
Feidt died in August of 1837. After his death, Susannah and her daughter, Elizabeth, continued to live in the old home place. This was agreed between Elizabeth and her father. Elizabeth married George Shank in 1841. They lived with and took care of Susannah until her death of typhoid fever.

I first contacted Jay to help me find a hunting tract for myself and my three boys. I had never owned hunting property so needed someone knowledgeable and straightforward. I have been impressed with Jay from the beginning. Jay guided me through the process of finding a great tract of land, splitting off a smaller portion for my needs, then walking me through the closing process. Jay was able to suggest bankers, appraisers, loggers, and others to assist with my transaction and keep the closing on schedule. He was always and remains quick to return my calls and answer all questions. Jay also possessed the vision to suggest a pond site and hunting layout for my property. Jay is very knowledgeable about government programs, game management, pond/road building, and proper forestry practices. He is a wealth of knowledge and eager to share his knowledge with others. I have been very impressed with his work ethic and highly recommend him to all of my friends."
Robert and Teresa Mizell
"We made a decision to live on more land and then started to search listings. Target Realty had good information about various listings. W e contacted Jay about the properties and also asked about other realtor's listings. He listened to what we wanted, and he then gathered information/documentation about all the properties we wanted to look over. He showed the properties without the feeling of being rushed, as if he enjoyed the country scene. Jay had good knowledge of the land—being a certified forester. Any questions were answered, if not immediately, he obtained the answer. He has a good work ethic: fair, honest, dependable and attentive. Even after buying land he had listed, he still provides valuable help to us. We are over an hour drive from the property, and Jay has checked on our property after heavy rains and ice storm. Jay and others we have met through him have treated us like family. Jay is the first and only realtor we would use again!"
David Asbill
"I would like to thank Jay Culler and Target Realty for the professionalism shown while my girlfriend and I were looking for property. Jay showed us a piece of property that my girlfriend absolutely loved. We probably would have purchased this property without a second thought. Jay, understanding al l the likes and dislikes we were looking for in a property, convinced us to look at one more piece of property. I t was a dream come true. We were able to buy 3 times more acreage ( alot closer to home ) with 2 water sources, for just a little more money. I've always wanted to own a piece of land but never thought I could have purchased that many acres. Jay could have very easily taken the easy sell and not bothered taking time to show additional property. I would like to add, every piece of property we toured, Jay was very knowledgable in boundary lines, amenities, water sources, pricing, recent surveys, etc Once our choice was made. Jay continued to follow up with any questions or concerns through the entire closing process. Even after the sell. Jay has continued to offer information and advice for habitat improvement on the property. I plan to use Jay and Target Realty for another smaller tract I want to buy in the future, SO I would definitely recommend Jay and Target Realty to anyone else looking for land."
Wes Fogle
"Jay was a pleasure to work with. He knows his business and did the due diligence (GPS maps, on site photos, property lines, etc..) it took to list my property the way it needed to be listed. I wanted to sell off a small corner on a larger tract; Jay helped me come up with the best way to do this. After listing, the property was sold in 3 months. When working to either buy land or sell land, I would not ever work with another agent."

Police have named the man who died after his car left the road and hit a tree on New Year's Day.

The social network aspect of online gambling has not made a great deal of progress in recent months and the gaming software firm Zynga is a good example of what could happen to the whole process. The instant results of the issues and challenges the firm faced in 2013 were interesting to say the least. The uneasy tension between Zynga and its partnerships was very apparent as its customer base and its revenues declined rapidly.
Zynga's quarterly results saw a decline in revenue of almost thirty percentage points after the fallout with partners and the removal of some of its iconic products from the market. After a consumer base of 300 million in 2012 was depleted to nearly half its size to 150 million in 2013 the challenge to come back became even greater. Management changes were another factor to hamper the firm's transformation.
The recruitment of Don Mattrick as the new chief executive officer left investors concerned as to whether this move in 2014 will improve the company's bottom line.
While 2014 presents a new year it also represents new challenges and opportunities for the veteran company. Mattrick is a seasoned professional that knows what moves must be made to facilitate a comeback and quickly. Recruited from the Microsoft Corporation he brings to the table a lot of experience on how to create games that work. The CEO's stint at Electronics Arts Inc also gave Mattrick insight into strategies for company comebacks.
Mattrick knows the soft spot in social gaming remains in the relatively short life expectancy of social games and has seen to it that Zynga has introduced a number of role-playing games that create more retention among players.
Despite Zynga pulling away from the American real money social gambling market it still has created an impression in the international market for it products in that sector. The launch of ZyngaPlusCasino and ZyngaPlusPoker for the UK market has been marginally successful to date. That could still translate into a sizable profit considering the large market.

To start this review off, I have to admit that I have very little expertise in the realm of digital media display. I bought this product as part of my initial baby steps towards converting my existing PC into a part-time PVR. As such, my standards might be lower than the power users of this site. But I figure I can give you folks a basic idea of its usefulness for me.
The mediamvp basically is a Linux based digital media receiver that hooks up to your network and handles output to your stereo and TV for digital files. In effect, it reads the video, music, and picture files on the computers on your network and plays them to your TV and stereo.
Setup for the system was not difficult at all. All I had to do was to connect the mediamvp to a standard network cable (not provided), hook up the audio/video cable to my TV (actually to my stereo and TV), install some minimal software, and plug the sucker in. It worked the first time I turned it on. The hardest part of the process was convincing my wife that it was necessary to string network cable from my office to the living room at the other end of the house.
The basic software setup has a media search that was fairly easy to figure out. The only issue that has popped up so far is that it does not refresh itself, so if you make major changes in your collection, you need to run it again.
As for performance….
When it came to displaying pictures, I was quite impressed. It only supports .jpg and .gif, but that is all that I usually deal in. The pictures were crystal clear on the screen and not niceably distorted. It was easy to set up a basic slide show.
The music performance was also solid. The mp3 sounded great on my stereo and it was easy to set up basic play lists. The unit also reads and plays a variety of playlists that can be created ahead of time in winamp or similar programs.
When it came to digital video playback, I had some mixed results. The first MPEG that I tried to play has its audio delayed by a few seconds. The second that I played was visually jerky. At that point I tried playing them with no other programs running on my pc. Once I did that there was no problem so I have to conclude that I can not multitask when it comes to the video playback (there is no problem with mp3 playback, however). One note of warning, however, is that I am not certain how the quality of my MPEG2s matches up. I installed a cheap tuner card with a software based encoder (TV wonder ve) and so I am not certain what the results would be with higher quality files.
The unit is controlled with a remote that allows for pausing, rewind, and other useful functions. There is a slight pause in the response which I can only assume is the result of accessing the network. After using the unit for a while I did not notice it much.
My main criticism of the device arises from the limitation in the files that it can play. For images, it only handles .jpg and .gif files. For audio it only handles MP3s and certain playlist files. Finally, for video, it only plays MPEG1 and MPEG2 files. This was frustrating for me because much of my music collection was .WMA and I can not play my DIVX Red Dwarf episodes. I emailed the company about this and they responded that they were looking into the possibility of a software upgrade, but the subtext of their message told me not to hold my breath.
Overall, I am pleased with this gadget. Its performance is generally good and since I got it for $65 as the result of a $30 rebate, the price did not break the bank. The cheap tuner card that I purchased along with it was about $45, which means that I have basic PVR functionality on my computer and in my living room for about $110 dollars. The company also has hinted firmware and software upgrades, so there is a good chance the functionality of this product will increase (crossing my fingers for DIVX).
Feel free to post in my original mediamvp entry in the forum if you found my review helpful or if you have any questions for me.

text: Big Code, the collective knowledge amassed from analyzing programs, presents a timely and unprecedented opportunity to improve existing methods for program reasoning and enable newer ones. Petablox is a new declarative paradigm and system that aims to serve as a foundation to realize this objective. Based on the logic programming language Datalog, Petablox addresses challenges of application diversity and implementation complexity in seeking a broad and deep unification that has eluded past declarative efforts in program analysis. Starting from a single common specification of any program analysis in Datalog, it automatically synthesizes Big-Code tasks such as tailoring program abstractions to analysis queries, transferring analysis facts across programs, and incorporating user feedback to improve analysis results over time.

There are quite a few tricks with CSS you might not know.
For instance, you are able to add content via CSS, preceding or following existing elements.
el:before{ content:"lorem"; } el:after { content:"ipsum"; }
Now, couldn't we just visualize the source of the document? E.g.:
p:before{ content:"
"; } p:after { content:""; }
Or, if we wanted it nicely wrapped:
p:before{ content:"
"; display:block; } p:after { content:""; display:block; }
If you do that with all the 100-150 elements of HTML you'll have quite a nice outline, but the attributes are still missing.
This is where the CSS-
attr()-function comes in handy, which prints the contents of attributes.
A typical use would be to make otherwise "invisible" attributes that hold content visible and thus accessible,
You have reached this web page by typing "example.com", "example.net", or "example.org" into your web browser.
blockquote:after{ content:"Source: "attr(cite); display:block; }
With this in mind we can visualize the attributes as well, thus enhancing our outline:
p:before{ content:'
'; }
Of course, this would print an empty class for any element that hasn't a class defined, and we'll have to cater for this eventuality. Since there is nothing like
if...else in CSS, we have to do with something like this:
p:before{ content:'
'; } p[class]:before{ content:'
'; }
which will print a
 before any paragraph, and overwrite that with
 for any paragraph carrying a class, using an attribute selector.
Since there are a lot more attributes than class, we'll need to include more attributes, like this
p:before{ content:'
'; } p[class]:before{ content:'
'; } p[id]:before{ content:'
'; } p[class][id]:before{ content:'
'; } p:after{ content:''; }
I think you get the general idea.
Now, if we'll go and try to do this for all the attributes, we'll likely run into issues with our file size. Assuming we don't care about the attribute order ((meaning we don not differentiate between
 und
)) (which we can't in CSS, anyway) we'll have n of m attribute possibilities, where n is the number of attributes a specific element can actually have and m the number of attributes we care about.
Since every element can have (or lack) n attributes we'll get 2n combinations ((someone's done the maths…)) for every element, plus 1 that's closing it… in short, we'll get a lot of lines to write ((x*4*(2n+1), to be precise, where x is the number of elements we'll include)).
So, for practical reasons (and because there are better things to do) we'll just include the most important elements in our style sheet, which I deem to be
class, id, style, title, lang and
action, method, type, value, scope, alt for specific elements which are mandatory anyway.
Having done all that, you can see a live example of this style sheet applied to an actual HTML document or go ahead and get a zipped copy.
In case you haven't noticed: I think it's rather astonishing that this is even effective on elements otherwise invisible, e.g.
Note that, even though this technique works surprisingly well, there are problems with self-closing elements inside the body (e.g.

 ) and the
 tag itself. Here is why:
Note. This specification does not fully define the interaction of :before and :after with replaced elements (such as IMG in HTML).CSS 2.1 Specification,
But there is even more!
World premier!
If you are a programmer, you've probably heard of Quines which is basically a program which prints itself. With this technique, we're in a position to write our own HTML-Quine, which does exactly that!
As far as I know, this hasn't been done before, thus making this a worldwide novelty ((for all I know and want to know)) !
You can download or take it for a spin.

ASSISTANT CHIEF RETIRES – Tri-Township Fire Department Assistant Chief Rick Beeler recently celebrated an anniversary and also announced his retirement. He retired just after celebrating 27 years with the department, in order to pursue other endeavors. Department representatives thanked him for his years of service, leadership and guidance. Beeler officially retired Tuesday, May 8.
AG BARN PROGRESS – During the Monday, May 14 meeting of the Chesaning Union Schools Board of Education, building and grounds director Brian Gross said he met with Jim Miller about progress on the school's agriculture barn. Plans are to get the utilities installed and a cement floor poured this summer. Gross said he needs help with finding contractors for cement floors and plumbers. They want the work done by this fall.
SCHOOL IMPROVEMENTS – On Monday, May 14, Chesaning Union Schools Building and Grounds Director Brian Gross told the board of education that the majority of the improvements that were taken off the list in the first two phases will probably be done.
TWIN TOWNSHIP AMBULANCE – Carolyn Birchmeier attended the May 15 meeting of the Montrose Township Board to talk about Twin Township Ambulance service. She said in March, Twin Township responded to 60 Montrose Township calls, and in April it was 59 calls. Birchmeier said the ambulance service will be contacting people living in both within the city of Montrose and Montrose Township asking them to support Twin Township Ambulance.
ALFRED STREET ASSESSMENT – During the Montrose City Council's Thursday, May 17 meeting, a public hearing was held for the Alfred Street special assessment district. The special assessment pays for last summer's street improvements. Last year, Alfred Street residents were furious when they learned that the small project's engineering fees more than doubled their assessments. The project had been rushed through to take advantage of a federal street improvements grant. The city council took on the engineering costs, once they understood why the costs were out of line with normal street assessments. Having seen the lower revised assessment costs, Alfred Street residents did not make an appearance during the hearing. The council approved a special assessment to be paid over not more than five years.
RENEWED CONTRACT – The Montrose City Council renewed its information technology contract with I.T. Right during the council's Thursday, May 17 meeting. City Manager Neil Rankin said they have contracted with I.T. Right since 2013 and the staff has been pleased with the company's service. The company has also been preparing the city's new location at 139 S. Saginaw St. for the city office move in June.
NEW APPOINTMENTS – Three Montrose City residents have been appointed to the Montrose City Tax Board of Review. They are Nancy Obershaw, Peggy Bauer and Marsha DeLay. The city council approved their appointments unanimously.
BUDGET WORKSHOP – The Montrose City Council has set a budget workshop for Tuesday, June 26 at 7 p.m.
CITY DECLINES OFFER – The owner of the property at 120 Grover St. had offered to donate the property to the city in lieu of taxes. City officials were initially interested in accepting the property, where a house fire destroyed the primary structure but left the garage. However, the city building inspector could not in good conscience recommend accepting the property since the garage was in poor condition structurally and would have had to be either significantly improved or torn down. Since the primary structure is gone, the property is also in violation of city ordinance. The council agreed to decline the offer.
DEPOT DEPOSIT – Montrose City Councilwoman Debbie Gross said the Montrose Depot needs to start collecting a deposit from groups renting the building. She explained that it's hit-or-miss as to whether it gets swept up and the tables wiped down. She recommends a deposit of $50. The depot needs to be left the way people found it, she explained. City attorney Otis Stout agreed that a deposit is necessary. From the audience, city resident Dave Walker said, "Any hall you rent requires a deposit." Deposits will be payable by cash or check. The city can use credit cards for the rental, but the deposit needs to be cash or check, clerk Tina Rush explained. The city council agreed and the new policy goes into effect immediately.

Firehouse Bread
Well...making wheat bread the other day reminded me of another good bread I used to make...this was an attempt to duplicate a yummy herb bread made at Sunrise Bakery in Walnut Creek...maybe I based it on a recipe for bread made by firemen because it's called (for no apparent reason):
FireHouse Bread
4 T (or pkg) dry yeast
1/2 C warm water
1/3 C dry minced onion
1 cube melted butter
3 1/3 C milk
1 1/3 C dry milk powder
1/3 C honey
2 t salt
4 T dry parsley
1 t dry dill
1/2 t sage
1 1/2 C cornmeal
8 C white flour
Proof yeast in warm water. Heat milk and put in mixer with honey onions, butter, salt and herbs. Mix in cornmeal, yeast and half the flour (Be sure the milk has cooled down some)Mix and add most of remaining flour. Let knead in bowl 10 minutes(or knead on floured board). Place in oiled bowl and let rise about 1 hour. Form into 4 loaves and let rise again. Bake at 350 for 25 minutes. Butter tops. Tip: I wet a clean tea towel with hot water (or warm up in microwave) and cover the rising bread dough so it doesn't form a dry surface.

Home décor is vital, though you've probably already come to that conclusion. But as well as keeping things looking nice and tidy, are you concerned about making your house look unique? Your own style is an important thing to have. It can make you feel more comfortable in your own home, as well as give it a real cool look. If you're bored of how your house is looking or feeling like it doesn't suit you, just keep reading.
Give It the Natural Look--
So many homes have such a clean, maintained look that they can seem almost artificial. Adding a bit of natural charm to your home can really make it feel more warm and cozy. It could be as simple as using more varnished wood or adding a plant. If you really want to make your home unique, however, why not try oak garage doors? If you have wooden fittings, these sturdy additions can really blend in and give your home stand-out quality.
Make Your Backyard a Theater--
If you're looking for a new way to entertain visitors, then look no further. Having your very own outdoor cinema is just a little effort away. Just get yourself some comfy seats and a projector. That might seem like a cumbersome idea, but it's surprisingly light and easy to set up. You'll be the envy of pretty much everyone and your summer nights will be enjoyed relaxing with friends and enjoying a movie.
Show Your Personality--
A lot of us have collections we're fond of-- teapots, records, movie posters. If you have a passion, there's no need to hide it. At best, it's a great conversation starter. At worst, it makes your home feel like your home. Learn how to display your collections tastefully and you'll love what you end up with. If you don't have a collection to display, then start one. Collecting cute wall-hung ornaments and wooden signs is always a great idea. They can be as sassy or as homey as you like.
Paint Outside the Box--
You might have immediately gone to a safe color when it came to painting your room. Many just think of the primary color of their biggest piece of furniture and run with it. Why not try painting on the wild side, for once? Paint can always be changed so don't be afraid to try out something new and make your room really pop.
Hack Your Own Furniture--
If you want things really looking unique then the solution is to just make it yourself. There are all kinds of DIY techniques to making your furniture something new and unique. It can be something as simple as attaching fabric to an ottoman to something as involved as getting a personalized chair carved.
Add a Bit of Chalkboard--
We love chalkboard. It's a neat addition to any home. Whether you want to write phrases you find motivating, recipes, special welcomes or your plans for the day. Chalkboards are a way of immediately displaying your own personality, so get one and be in control of what your house says.
