Subsequent issues then follow the series through in broadcast order as the Doctor and his companions travel the universe, facing monsters such as the Daleks, Slitheen and Cybermen, and villains such as the Editor and Cassandra, the last ever human.

text: Albert Nobbs 15 Rodrigo Garcia (2011) UK / Ire 109 min Facebook Twitter Google Tumblr Pinterest Blogger Reddit VKontakt Print Email Play clip Film Review Reviewed By Stella Papamichael 3 out of 5 This intriguing period drama represents a labour of love for Glenn Close, who takes on the title character 30 years after appearing in the off-Broadway play. She plays a delicate woman who lives as a male servant in 19th-century Dublin, ostensibly to earn a crust in hard times. But as the story unfolds, it's suggested that Nobbs feels protected in men's clothes. She only yearns for liberation after meeting a more bullish transvestite (Janet McTeer, bringing a touch of lightness) and aims to start afresh by courting housemaid Helen (Jane Eyre's Mia Wasikowska) for a wife. Director Rodrigo Garcia (Nine Lives) leaves a question mark over the exact nature of Nobbs's fixation with her and the lure of the story (co-adapted by Close) is in trying to work out what drives Nobbs to extremes. What frustrates, though, is that even with a captivating, Oscar-nominated performance by the star, the servant remains inscrutable beneath that starched collar. Plot Summary A woman in 19th-century Ireland has lived in disguise as a man for 30 years, holding down a job as a butler at a Dublin hotel. She meets a married house painter whom she discovers is a fellow cross-dresser, and is inspired by her new friend's happy life to seek a wife of her own. Period drama, starring Glenn Close, Mia Wasikowska, Aaron Johnson and Janet McTeer.

NTSB Identification:
Scheduled 14 CFR Part 121: Air Carrier operation of Colgan Air, Inc.
Incident occurred Thursday, March 17, 2011 in Pittsburgh, PA
Aircraft: DE HAVILLAND DHC8, registration: N339NG
Injuries: Unavailable
This is preliminary information, subject to change, and may contain errors. Any errors in this report will be corrected when the final report has been completed. NTSB investigators traveled in support of this investigation and used data obtained from various sources to prepare this aircraft incident report.
On March 17, 2011, about 1640 UTC, a Colgan Air DeHavilland DHC-8-400Q, N339NG, flight 3212, experienced a No. 1 (left) engine undercowl fire event while en route from Cleveland, Ohio to Baltimore, Maryland. The flight crew reported that a No. 1 engine oil master warning activated while in cruise flight, FL230, about 60 miles from Pittsburgh International Airport (PIT). The crew noted that the No. 1 engine oil pressure display showed white dashes, which was interpreted to mean no oil pressure indication, and that other engine indications were normal. Immediately following this, the crew observed a rapid increase in the No. 1 engine oil temperature, and the No. 1 engine fire warning activated. The No. 1 engine began to lose power. One fire bottle was discharged. Thirty seconds later, the second fire bottle was discharged but the fire warning remained illuminated. The flight declared an emergency and diverted to PIT, where it landed without incident. The passengers deplaned to the runway via the R2 door. No injuries were reported. Airport Rescue and Fire Fighting personnel determined that the fire was extinguished; however the engine fire warning remained active. A post-incident airplane inspection found severe thermal damage to the No. 1 engine turbine section, with an approximate 4-inch by 4-inch hole burnt through the bottom of the gas generator case. There was minor damage to the airplane.

Propane construction heaters are used on job sites where propane gas is available. These heaters are available in a number of types, and each has its own advantages. Radiant and infrared heaters warm people and objects instead of the air around them. Convection and forced-air heaters work by warming the air around the workers. Smaller propane heaters can work off of 20-pound cylinders of propane. Larger models may require a 100-pound propane tank of fuel.
Can You Change a Propane-Fueled Construction Heater Over to Natural Gas?
Home construction and repair projects may go on well into the cold months. It's at these times that the use of a construction heater can keep work going instead of coming to a halt until the cold spell breaks. Construction heaters are available in many different types and operate on a variety of fuels. However, it is not always advisable to try to change units to use an alternate fuel source, such as converting a propane-fueled heater to a natural gas unit.
Propane Construction Heaters
Natural Gas Construction Heaters
Natural gas construction heaters are used in locations that already have natural gas lines piped to the site. Natural gas heaters are also available in radiant, infrared and convection types. Some construction heaters may work on both natural gas and propane gas. These units are often direct-fired heaters that are ideal for varying conditions on work sites.
Converting Construction Heaters to Another Fuel
Most manufacturers design their construction heaters to operate with just propane or natural gas. The differences in flow rate and burning capacity of these two fuels make it inadvisable to attempt to change from one fuel to another. Though other types of heaters used around residential properties, such as patio heaters, space heaters, gas log fireplaces and other such units, often have conversion kits provided by the manufacturer, the conditions under which construction heaters are used may be too hazardous to allow conversion of the units. Contact the manufacturer for recommendations about converting the particular unit. Some manufacturers may allow conversions done by certified heating contractors. In addition, construction heater conversions may require inspection before being put into service, according to the Canadian Propane Association.
Dangers of Construction Heaters
Heaters that can burn fuels, such as propane and natural gas, have inherent dangers from the toxic waste products that are produced and can build up in the air. Both carbon monoxide (CO) and carbon dioxide (CO2) are emitted in the combustion process for these fuels. These gases can remove available oxygen from the air and overcome workers in the area. Construction heaters are designed to work outdoors. When used indoors, operators should ensure that adequate ventilation is available or there is venting to the outdoors. Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning include dizziness, nausea, vomiting, headache, confusion and unconsciousness, according to the Construction Safety Association of Ontario website. If these symptoms are evident, remove workers to a ventilated area immediately and seek medical attention.

Aprilia finished off a weekend of dominance Down Under with Eugene Laverty taking the race two win at Phillip Island from teammate Sylvain Guintoli. Laverty led at the end of the first lap, as he did in race 1, but with four laps gone Guintoli took the lead.
He led until the closing stages, when Laverty, despite briefly falling back to...

I must agree with you about Hodgson. After Fogarty he was Britain's top rider between 2000-2003. After that Toseland was the man.
It is a shame that Hodgson didn't continue in WSBK.
Don't get Leecho started on Hodgson and Walker....
Alan Carter should have been a muti world champion. He really was that good and no lesser man then Niall Mackenzie really rated him, and he was some rider.

(we will only get one chance to see our boys this year with Silverstone almost certain to be scrapped when you think India will probably not happen and brono is all but cancelled Dorna have started the WSB cull ??)
Silverstone state poor ticket sales as a reason for wanting to pull out ?
i love wsb but the reason people don't buy advance tickets is because of the crap Pirelli tyres ? Because if it rains they cant produce a wet race tyre that will last a race and at Silverstone if it rains the race will be cancelled 100% guaranteed and the fans get no refund or credit voucher , i went to the Monza debacle and i will not go there again also i love Assen but with the chance of rain i wont spend £50 od quid on a advance ticket then not see a full or maybe no race ?? just buy on the day if its fine
Pirelli could not even produce a supersport tyre that could last 15 laps at Phillip Island NOT A SUPERBIKE TYRE !! A 600 SUPERSPORT TYRE ? for gods sake
when will promoters get the message if you rip of us fans we wont come ? full stop
Palmer and MSV has got it sorted as he give's a refund if the meeting is cancelled and we go back time after time confident that we will not be ripped off
so enjoy WSB while you can as it is not going to be about for many more seasons

The gaming industry has made great strides in recent years. It has become the fastest growing form of media today and has been recognized by educators as a valuable classroom tool.
However, as the industry matures it still has plenty of need for self-reflection. No, video games may not be the cause of massacres like the recent event as Sandy Hook Elementary School. However, gaming culture is very much a boys club, critics charge, and portrayals of women in games are downright backwards. Moreover, online gaming can promote a pack mentality in which there are incentives to harass women.
And yet, as disturbing as certain forms of "cybermob" behavior may be, young girls are turning to gaming like never before, and throwing open the doors of the boys club.

Indiana State University Distinguished Alumni Practice "Social Rent"
Faculty and staff at Indiana State University go the extra mile to help students who then give back to their university, community, state and nation. Four graduates selected by the Indiana State University Alumni Association as 2014 Distinguished Alumni Award recipients, among them were Tom and Debbie Bareford.
Business professor Robert Steinbaugh more than 50 years ago "set the compass and rudder for our lives." He was "one of the greatest professors that ever lived." Bareford said. "He talked to us one day about social rent ... (and) there being just a little difference between a normal community and a great one. He stressed that if there's one difference between a normal university and a great one, it is 'social rent' - people's willingness to just help out, give a willing hand when they can."

Indiana State MBA Listed Among Top Programs in Two National Rankings
For the 10th consecutive year, Indiana State's MBA program made the Princeton Review's list. Among the program's benefits highlighted are small classes that allow students to receive "individual attention that better prepares the students in a hands-on manner," while also allowing for greater faculty accessibility.
"It's quite an honor," said Jeff Harper, director of graduate programs for the College of Business. "The first time we were ranked in 2005 was a thrill for us, and it continues to be very exciting. As our program has matured and our expectations have increased, we now expect to be ranked and receive this honor every year, but there is no less work involved and nothing is assured. For us to have shown the kind of consistency it takes to be ranked 10 years consecutively is very special."

Located between two of the great river systems of the West, the Colorado and the Arkansas, the Vail Valley offers some of the best whitewater rafting in the world. While there are trips to satisfy the adrenaline junkie, river rafting is not always a white-knuckle sport. With trips for any age and ability, rafting can be a pleasant day on the river with family and friends. Outfitters generally provide all the equipment you will need.
River rafting is a popular activity for summertime visitors in the Vail Valley. The plethora of whitewater options in town or in short distance from town make this a great place to have the thrilling rafting adventure of a lifetime. The Colorado, Eagle, Roaring Fork and Arkansas Rivers are only a few of the renowned rafting venues in and around the Vail Valley. Rafts hold anywhere from 4 to 12 passengers. Led by an experienced raft crew, most excursions mix participation and leisure. Participants will learn to paddle as a team, and direct the craft according to the instruction of the guide. River trips of varying levels are offered by nearly every vendor. Your trip can range from a mellow float down still waters, an exciting trip down mild whitewater, or a thrilling adventure on some of the most challenging and exciting rapids in the nation; it's all available to you as a rafter in the Vail Valley.
According to the International Scale of River Difficulty, whitewater fits one of the following ratings: Class 1: Very small rough areas, requires no maneuvering. (Skill Level: None) Class 2: Some rough water, maybe some rocks, might require maneuvering.(Skill Level: Basic Paddling Skill) Class 3: Whitewater, small waves, maybe a small drop, but no considerable danger. May require significant maneuvering.(Skill Level: Experienced paddling skills) Class 4: Whitewater, medium waves, maybe rocks, maybe a considerable drop, sharp maneuvers may be needed. (Skill Level: Whitewater Experience) Class 5: Whitewater, large waves, possibility of large rocks and hazards, possibility of a large drop, requires precise maneuvering (Skill Level: Advanced Whitewater Experience) Class 6: Class 6 rapids are considered to be so dangerous as to be effectively unnavigable on a reliably safe basis. Rafters can expect to encounter substantial whitewater, huge waves, huge rocks and hazards, and/or substantial drops that will impart severe impacts beyond the structural capacities and impact ratings of most all rafting equipment. Based on this scale, be sure to discuss your expectations, the experience of your group and any health or fitness restrictions with your vendor. They will help you select a trip that best fits your parameters.
Located between two of the great river systems of the West, the Colorado and the Arkansas, the Vail Valley offers some of the best whitewater rafting in the world. While there are trips to satisfy …

WASHINGTON - In Annapolis, he's known as Sen. C. Anthony Muse.
But at the Ark of Safety Christian Church in Upper Marlboro, he's known as Bishop Muse. And for the second time in his career as a minister, a church under his guidance has fallen on hard financial times.
The Ark of Safety Christian Church, one of the largest African American churches in the region, owes nearly $2 million to various creditors, including banks, attorneys and public utilities. One of the largest debts is to Muse himself, who mortgaged his home to keep the church afloat.
In a statement issued by Muse, he says just like middle class homeowners, middle class churches are having trouble climbing out of the recession. He says the church will continue to serves the community.

Mandriva Sees Light at End of Tunnel
A new website, restructuring of consumer business and various activities involving hardware, software and service partners have been announced by Mandriva boss Francois Bacilhon.
In his blog on the enterprise website, the Mandriva CEO gives readers a sneak preview of official announcements to be made by the French Linux distributor in the coming weeks. The "rough weather" that Mandriva had been through had dampened people's spirits, Bacilhon writes, going on to say "So it will soon be time to cheer you up with some good news".
The innuendo by Bacilhon is obviously to the company's figures, after Mandriva just about escaping insolvency. The company received a fresh injection of capital in May 2007, but at a cost of restructuring and redundancies. Bacilhon now promises results including "a nice small hardware deal in an emerging market country with our friends from Santa Clara and against our friends from Redmond"; this obviously refers to Hewlett Packard in Santa Clara and Microsoft in Redmond. The CEO also hints at a strategic agreement with a major player, which Mandriva expects to impact desktop sales.
He also promises major restructuring of the product line and Mandriva Club offerings on the consumer side of the business. Mandriva Club offers private users a kind of support and software subscription for a price. A few days ago, the company released the beta version of its Mandriva 2008 Linux variant.

The church of the fields.
A beautiful medieval building of tranquility and rural views.
This ancient church, set in beautiful countryside has been a place of worship for over nine hundred years
and has links with the beginning of Christianity in this part of Oxfordshire. We hope you enjoy your
visit: we who are fortunate to live here are the trustees for our generation. Do spend a while in quiet
prayer for us and for yourselves, and if you would like to help us in our responsibilities in caring
for this ancient building we would be glad of your contribution.
Tradition has it that the first church in Ipsden was a small chapel on Berins Hill, about 2 miles east of the
present church, built by St Birinus when he came from Rome in AD626 to convert the Saxon peoples of South
Oxfordshire. He became the first Bishop of Dorchester and fixed the parish boundaries which survive to this day.
The second Ipsden church was in a field south of The Street opposite the Old Vicarage, about ½ mile south of
the present church. It fell into disrepair in the 12th century and was eventually demolished: the materials were
used to repair and enlarge the present church which was much smaller and a mere upland chapel for the adjoining
parish of North Stoke. This church, on the present site, became Ipsden Parish Church, but the change probably was
also the origin of the legend of the Devil taking away the stones of Ipsden Church. As late as the early 19th
century there were still people in Ipsden who referred to it as the 'Church on the hill' and refused to give it
to its proper title.
The oldest part of the present building is the North Chapel, almost certainly the old North Stoke Upland Chapel:
there is a small stained glass window in the west wall of the chapel which is a typical Norman window. The clear
glass window opposite is a decorated window dating from the late 14th or early 15th century and is probably on
place of a chancel arch. The wall painting round this window was completed around 1400 and was cleaned and
restored in 1990 - the whole wall was probably covered with a simple floral decoration and the surviving example
of this can be seen near the lower south ledge of the window. Outside there are remains of Saxon stonework.
The present chancel is said by Pevsner to be late 12th century and the memorial brasses dedicated to Sir Thomas
Englysche and his wife are dated 1525. The Englysche family were landowners in the 15th and 16th centuries and
there is still an Englysche farm near Ipsden Heath. The name is a mixture of 13th and 14th century work and at
one time there was a South Aisle, traces of which are still clearly visible. The gallery at the west end of the
bell tower was built about 1860 as a memorial to John and Anna-Marie Reade of Ipsden House. The organ was
installed at the end of the 19th century and is a remarkably fine instrument for a small country church, although
unfortunately it blocks all the light from the west window.

Northeast Foods to close Spotsy factory
MORE: Read more Spotsylvania County news
For years, people have noticed the sweet smell of baking bread might stop wafting near the Spotsy campus of Germanna. In a month, that smell could be gone for good. Northeast Foods plans to close its Automatic Rolls of Virginia on Aug. 1, due to lack of work.
It has long been assumed that the Massaponax bread factory made buns for McDonald's, though the company wouldn't confirm this for an FLS story eight years ago.
The closing will affect 67 employees–23 will be relocated and 44 will be laid off.
I'm very interested in talking with one of those 67 people; if you're one of them, please give me a call. My number is 540/735-1973. You can also email me at firstname.lastname@example.com.

UK's biggest meteorite impact rocked Scotland
It's lucky for the good burghers of Ullapool in Scotland that they weren't around 1.2 billion years ago, because it was around then that the biggest meteorite ever to hit the British Isles would have made a bit of a dent in local house prices. That's according to the combined forces of the University of Oxford and the University …
"would have seen quite a show"...
... before suffering various horrible things like being melted, seared, sandblasted and pulped. Quite a show indeed...

"threw material over an area 50km across" - That wouldn't even reach Inverness so there's absolutely no possibility of any harm being done then, or even today - except possibly to a couple of fish farms who, lets face it, could probably do with the insurance money about now.
Apologies to anyone living North or West of Inverness - life is hard enough without escapees like me pretending that there's no electricity north of Edinburgh.

At that date, Scotland was near the Antarctic, in the barren heart of a vast supercontinent where the technologically-advanced giant clams were just on the point of wiping each other out in a war to end wars.

pedantism alert...
"threw material over an area 50km across"
Does this mean that the ejecta reached 25 km away from the impact?
What about the Silverpit crater? Or has this been discredited as an impact crater? That crater alone is 3 km wide, with rings extending out to 10 km. Usually ejecta from an impact crater reaches distances hundreds of times the crater diameter.
Maybe I've misunderstood something...
PH, as she knows how to make an impact.
Did it drown out the whining?
I bet even that didn't stop the miserable Scots whining about how much they hate the English, and how anything south of Hadrian's wall, especially London, sucks.

So, are you saying that London ISN'T an overcrowded, overpriced, and overrated shit-hole, that is primarily populated by 'foreigners' (Scots included)?
Remember to forget
The sound of all their voices echoed down through eternity; Serves those dumb squatters right! This is just the beginning of the end hhrrmmpphhh! who did those bacteria think they were anyway! an amoeba or something!?!
PH because who else?
@The Prevaricator @Slaine
Silverpit is still not confirmed as an impact crater (and probably won't be unless someone stumps up the readies to drill it). There are problems with it being an impact structure because it doesn't resemble anything else on Earth - multiring craters such as those seen on the Moon and the Galilean moons of Jupiter are usually orders of magnitude larger than Silverpit.
There is a plausible alternative hypothesis that it is nothing more than a collapse caused by the withdrawal of the underlying Zechstein salt deposits.
Some of the reports are putting this as a 145 gigatonne explosion, it would have thrown enough crap into the air to darken the skies across the entire Northern Hemisphere, so yes, the good burghers of Inverness would have had plenty to worry about.

Ector rode his horse along the lines of men in battle formations. Long bowmen lined ten deep behind the thick rows of spearmen in front. Per Merlin's advice, all swordsmen were held back, and the cavalry were placed behind the swordsmen. The fluttering of the flags broke the silence as Ector looked at the mass of men opposite the field. He couldn't make out one man from the other, but the sight of so many men made him unease.
Orders were shouted from one battalion and then another. He turned to see Merlin and the King of the Hundred Knights ride up to him. The King of the Hundred knights was covered in armor, some parts painted white and others black, the surcoat was covered with a sword for every knight. "You think these hair-lipped bastards will try to parlay?"
"Doubtful my lord," said Merlin, "These men are here to conquer. They have the taste of blood in their mouths, and talking a peace is not something they came to do. No, these men came to fight."
"Then we should charge them, and break their spears and skulls open for the birds and beasts."
"Not yet, we must still talk to them first."
Ector then spoke, "But you just said they won't sue for a peace."
"They won't, but we buy some time. Until the moment is just right."
Ector wondered what Merlin meant, but The King of the Hundred Knights seemed to trust Merlin without question. Though Ector assumed this was due to the King's head being covered by this helmet. Merlin gestured for Ector's herald to follow, with the dragon's head in hand. "Come, let us greet our guests."
About a dozen riders accompanied the kings as the Viking leader and his retinue came to meet them. The man wore an assortment of armor, a jigsaw of trophies of previous victories. Each man with him wore black hoods that covered the Norse helms on their heads. Ector was more embarrassed at the lack of effort made to frighten the Viking's opponents, but he held his tongue.
The King of The Hundred Knights spoke first. "What business do you mongrel knaves have in our lands? Have not enough business with your own people in the frosty North?"
"Ignorance and ego will get you nothing with us," said the Viking leader, "We have come for land, and gold, and women, and anything else that we wish to claim. These lands belonged to us before, and by the gods they will be so again."
The dragon's head grew brighter as the Viking spoke, then Ector spoke, "These are bold words for one who has yet to win the day. And all you've fought so far are defenseless women and children. Not exactly proving the mettle of men so proud to claim their warrior prowess. Or is that how you measure yours?"
The Viking king leaned in, "Do you know you you're talking to? I've killed better men than you."
Ector answered coolly, "I've slain giants, woverns, and several of your 'warriors'. You scare me as much as newborn pup."
"You will pay for your insolence you ravenous…" bellowed the Viking king before one of his men stopped him and pointed to something off in the distance. The Viking lord looked to where the man was pointing, and was soon overtaken with fear. He dared not speak, as if he was looking into the eyes of Lucifer himself. The rest of his retinue appeared to show fear at what Ector now saw were a group of riders coming towards them.
One herald carried a black flag with a golden lion clawing at a crescent moon. These warriors were covered in armor more uniformed than their peers. Though there was still a lack of refinement to their appearance, there was an air of honor and prestige that emanated from them. The men at the head had a magnificent suit of armor, each plate embroidered with scenes of war and battle, and his helm was shaped to appear as a lion. The man with the lion's helm spoke to the Viking in their native tongue, but the Viking lost all of his power and authority.
The man with the lion's helm turned to Ector and spoke a few words. Merlin replied to the king in his tongue, "He is new to these lands, and does not know your language good king."
"Ah then," said the man with the lion's helm, "Then I will speak in his, I am Gorm Harathknutsen. I am the king of the land this traitor has come from. In his great depravity, he has taken one of my legionnaire armies, and invaded your lands in hopes of taking the riches and using them to overthrow me. Thankfully this man is as stupid as he is vain. Lest my mistake for trusting his loyalty to us and our cause," Gorm turns to the rebel, "I should have claimed your head those years ago when I had a chance."

In a unanimous decision, the Supreme Court said that the amount of information potentially stored on a smartphone coupled with the access it could give into other aspects of a person's life made modern smartphones constitutionally protected.
Supreme Court files decision in Halliburton v. Erica P. John Fund

Robert A. Martin
Robert A. Martin, 89, who grew up in Garden City and Amityville, died of cancer in Bend, OR, at an assisted living facility.
In the 1960s one of Robert Martin's jobs as head of employment at Hughes Aircraft Company was compiling a team to build the first U.S. spacecraft to make a soft landing on the moon, Surveyor I.
Martin's brother-in-law, Reginald Bellantyne, 87, of Westbury, said, "At the time, it was very difficult to find engineers to do that kind of work. I know he always was very proud of what he accomplished." Many experts believe that Surveyor's landing in June 1966 is credited for having set the groundwork for the Apollo mission.
Martin graduated from Garden City High School and attended Colgate University before joining the Navy. "He was on the USS Killen when the destroyer was damaged by a kamikaze pilot in 1944," Ballantyne said.
After being discharged in 1947, he left Long Island. He attended Northwestern University and the University of Southern California earning a master of business administration degree. He worked for Hughes from 1951 retiring in the mid-1970s. He moved to Bend from California about 10 years ago.
Martin is survived by his sister Constance Ballantyne, 86, of Westbury and several nieces and nephews.
A service was held at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church, Bend. Burial Willamette National Cemetery, Portland, OR.

text: Having talked last week about "printed primary records" this week I wish to discuss some of the Society's best and most used manuscripts. These fall generally into four categories – those covering towns and regions; treating individual families; containing the papers of major 19th and 20th century genealogical scholars; or covering largely English, noble European or royal families. This column will treat those manuscript collections covering towns and regions. Future columns will cover collections in the other three categories.Proceeding alphabetically by author the first collection is Charlotte Helen Abbott's "Early Records of Families in Andover [Mass]", 14 volumes plus 15 reels of notes, the original of which is at the Andover Historical Society. The quality of this collection is medium leaning to good; much more detail could be obtained from local deeds, wills, and court records. The next two collections are the notes of Charles Edward Banks and Clarence Winthrop Bowen on families of Martha's Vineyard and Woodstock, Connecticut. The former, 25 vols. of "Settlers of Martha's Vineyard," contain the family data used in volume 3 of Banks' history of the island, but also include an additional unpublished generation. The Bowen collection, 11 cartons, consists of all materials for the 8 published volumes of Genealogies of Woodstock Families, and was a gift from the American Antiquarian Society. Included are much additional data on families Hayward-Z, covered in the last two vols. (ed. by D. L. Jacobus and W. H. Wood after Bowen's death). The first six books in this set covered all branches of all families in Woodstock and surrounding towns (esp. Pomfret). The last two volumes, covering over half the alphabet, treat only those families in Woodstock proper and only so long as they lived there. The Walter E. (and Lottie A.S.) Corbin and Fred E. Crowell collections – the former 60 linear feet of records and compiled genealogies for central and western Massachusetts, the latter New Englanders in Nova Scotia – were both microfilmed, in 1982 and 1979 respectively. I reviewed Corbin in Register 139 (1985): 150-55 and Crowell in Register 135 (1981): 67. The Corbin collection is I believe the largest regional assemblage of New England source material ever amassed by professional genealogists. Included are genealogies of all residents of Northampton (outlines only, by Sylvester Judd) and Pittsfield (much more detailed, by Rollin H. Cooke) plus family data also for Belchertown, Southampton, and Wales. This 55-reel collection is now available in many libraries. So too is the Crowell collection, which covers the patrilineal New England ancestry – but not Nova Scotia descendents - of 650 or so immigrants to Nova Scotia in the 18th century. Crowell estimated, I might note, that 600 or more additional families could also have been included. Banks, Bowen, and Crowell do not abstract wills or deeds and all have some errors (Crowell more than a few). Each however is immensely useful and by far the best source for its area.The Gilbert Harry Doane collection consists of 38 Hollinger boxes, 23 of which cover families and records of Fairfield, Vermont (a full 7 the Hungerford family). The Abbie L. and Gustavus A. Hinckley collection, part of which is now being transcribed and edited, consists of 12 volumes of Barnstable town and vital records, 9 volumes of Barnstable County probate records, and assorted other Barnstable materials. The Waldo Chamberlain Sprague collection has also been partly microfilmed; the 6100 cards comprising Genealogies of the Families of Braintree, Massachusetts 1640-1850 is thus widely available (I reviewed it in Register 139 [1985]:155-58). Other parts of the collection, one of our very best in overall quality, include Thayer (8 vols.) Wales, and Curtis genealogies, and Braintree, Quincy, and Randolph vital records through 1850. The last two collections I wish to mention are middling in quality but still useful. Eugene F. Weedon compiled 86 volumes, over 10 small ledgers, and several notebooks covering families (and including some source records) of Berwick, Maine and Somersworth, New Hampshire. Hamilton Wilson Welch compiled over 250 notebooks on "Early Families of Scituate and Neighboring Towns". This last collection is comprehensive but undocumented, with dates only in years, no will or deed abstraction, and no biographical notes.

Sander's Beach Bungle
Beaches are on my mind right now, maybe because the promise of summer seems closer today, with all the blue skies and sunshine. But the recent news about Sander's Beach has dredged up old memories and many unanswered questions.
The Press ran an article last Tuesday about one of the lake-front homeowners offering his 120 feet of beach to the city. Gerry Frank's house is adjacent to the city-owned Jewett House, so his beach is next to the already public Jewett beach and would thereby offer people an extended stretch of sand. A public access route would run right down 15th street, between Gerry's and the Jewett House, directly to the beach.
In return for giving away his beach rights, Gerry was asking that the section of Lakeshore Drive in front of his house be changed from a vehicle street to a pedestrian and bike path. Sounds pretty reasonable, doesn't it? But the city turned him down.
There's a boatload of history behind this issue, far more than can be covered in a simple newsletter. But I'll try to give you a synopsis of what I know and what I've heard:
--Way, way back, the well-loved Dr. Fox and other lake front owners used to let everyone use the beach in front of their homes. This went on for decades but eventually deteriorated as an entitlement attitude crept into some that used the beach. Maybe they were new to the area, but they didn't seem to realize that the homeowners owned the beach, by title, same as every property owner on the lake, paid taxes on it every year and were responsible for all maintenance and upkeep.
The homeowners were increasingly confronted with disturbing late night parties on the beach, including the leftover bottles, trash and things that can't be described in a family newsletter. Even during the day, the problems escalated. Commercial enterprises brought in (and still do) big trailers and parked in front, with their kayaks and scuba gear to rent. Out of towners would bring (and still do) big RVs and park for the whole day. And at the end of a hot summer evening, the homeowners would be tasked with picking up the abandoned trash, dirty diapers and all.
The lake front owners knew these abuses were not from the conscientious neighbors back behind, or from responsible citizens of CdA. But nonetheless, it was a problem to be addressed.
--Informal negotiations were attempted; ideas were discussed. I'm told that there were a couple of very promising possibilities. One was that the beach would be open to the public, maintained by the city, but gated and closed after 10pm. This apparently got as far as ordering the gates, then was nixed by the city. The second or possibly concurrent idea was that Lakeshore Drive, the street between the homes and the beach, would be closed to cars. The neighbors on the streets behind balked at this. They didn't want beach-goers parking in front of their houses either. And so it went.
--Then, in 2004, the city brought a lawsuit against the homeowners, ostensibly to have the courts decide where the property line ends on the beach at the "high water mark". This was interesting timing and we will never know exactly why. It is notable, though, that Mike Gridley, the top city attorney both then and now, was running for the state legislature that Fall, under the Democrat party. He organized the lawsuit effort. Could he have timed it to coincide with his campaign so he would look like the savior of Sander's Beach? Here's what lake front homeowner Gerry Frank said a year later, at a city council meeting on Jan. 4, 2005 when he asked the city to drop the lawsuit: (taken from the meeting minutes) "... the issue isn't who owns the beach but public access. He reminded the Council that the homeowners had been working with the City for over a year to resolve this issue; however, their proposed solutions had not even been presented to the Council. Now, with this lawsuit, the Council has alienated the property owners, which compromises the City's efforts for public access."
--In the end, the Idaho Supreme Court ruled that the ordinary high water mark is, as was traditionally believed for years, 2128 ft. above sea level. Their decision meant that Sander's beach is privately owned by the homeowners. The city spent who-knows-how-many thousands of dollars on legal fees for the two year court battle. The sad part, in my opinion, is that the homeowners were forced to spend all of that and more in legal fees to defend their property rights.
And what did they get for it? Anger from the public. They were depicted as greedy, rich, mean people. There were nasty signs spray painted on their beach retaining walls and there were even public demonstrations against them. The neighbors behind no longer felt welcome on the beach and life-long friends now had animosity toward each other.
--Time has passed and now Mr. Frank offers another option for beach access. The city has, according to this week's Press article, worked "very hard" to figure out the traffic issues the changes would cause. But the public never got in on the effort. All the city council's discussions were done in Executive Session, away from the public eye, the city administrator admitted. Did the city consider using the East Tubb's Hill parking lot as the place for beach-goers to park? Yes, it would be a short walk, but only a few blocks. What other options did they consider and reject? We'll never know, we're just the taxpayers!
My opinion is that, once again, the city has failed to utilize the power of citizen involvement in solving important community problems. Their lack of respect is obvious, and their mishandling of this sensitive situation has been unnecessarily expensive and sadly divisive.

In this Nov. 18, 2012 photo, Detroit Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh (90) watches from the bench during the fourth quarter of an NFL football game against the Green Bay Packers at Ford Field in Detroit. Suh was issued a traffic citation by a police officer who said he saw Suh driving fast and passing cars from the right lane of a suburban Detroit roadway. The Lathrup Village officer gave Suh a ticket on Nov. 15, 2012 for driving without due care and caution. (AP Photo/Carlos Osorio)
ALLEN PARK, Mich. — Detroit Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh was fined $30,000 by the NFL on Wednesday, but says he didn't kick Houston Texans quarterback Matt Schaub on purpose.
That's why Suh insisted he doesn't need to apologize to Schaub.
Suh spoke to reporters Wednesday for the first time since his left cleat connected with Schaub's groin area in Detroit's loss to Houston last Thursday.
Suh dodged another suspension from the league, which has fined him instead for his latest questionable move on the field.
His reputation, though, has taken another hit.
The NFL suspended Suh for two games last season after he stomped on Green Bay's Evan Dietrich-Smith in a Thanksgiving game. Suh said he was sorry to Dietrich-Smith.
