SAINT LEO, Fla. – The No. 20 Saint Leo women's soccer team kept their clean sheet intact as they defeated Alabama-Huntsville 3-1 on Sunday afternoon at University Field. The Lions advance to an overall mark of 8-0, while the Chargers drop to a record of 2-6.
The Green and Gold earned their eighth-straight victory thanks to a goal from Stephanie Marran in the 41st minute off of assists from Francesca Williams and Andrea Lott. Williams sent a through ball up to Lott, who set up the shot for Marran into the lower right corner.
Ashley Acco put the Lions up on the scoreboard in the 15th minute of play thanks to an assist from Sherrie Gessin. Marran earned her tally late in the first period, giving the Lions a 2-0 advantage at the half.
The second stanza scoring opened with a goal from Alicia Schuering on an assist from Karin Hedlund in the 62nd minute, pulling Saint Leo out to a 3-0 lead. A foul called on the Lions in the 84th minute of play set the Chargers up with a free kick just outside of the box. UAH senior Luting Sun sent a free kick over the hands of goalkeeper Jessica Griffith for the Chargers' lone goal of the game.
Laura Carstens saw a total of 69 minutes between the posts for the Lions, seeing a total of one shot which was not on target. Griffith closed out the second period, seeing four shots and making a save while allowing one shot hit the net.
For UAH, Iris Gunnarsdottir, made 10 saves on 24 shots, with the Chargers picking up team save in the 81st minute.
The Lions led the shot count 24-5, as well as the corner-kick tally 5-3. Alabama-Huntsville earned 11 saves to SLU's one, and committed 15 fouls to the Green and Gold's eight.

Ed Koch to Participate in Q&A Following 1/13 Screening of KOCH
Koch (US, 2012, 95 min.) will receive its New York City premiere at the New York Jewish Film Festival at Lincoln Center's Walter Reade Theater on Thursday, January 10 at 6 pm and Sunday, January 13 at 3:30 pm. Ed Koch will participate in the Q&A session following the January 13 screening. Neil Barsky, director of the film, will appear at the Q&A session after the January 10 screening. The 22nd annual New York Jewish Film Festival, presented by The Jewish Museum and the Film Society of Lincoln Center from January 9 to 24, 2013, includes 45 features and shorts from 9 countries.

While 88-year-old former Mayor Ed Koch has been called the "quintessential New Yorker" for his combative, funny, and blunt approach to public life, he is also an intensely private person. This documentary traces Koch's impact on public life in the city (he was New York City's mayor from 1978 to 1989) - covering issues at the center of his tenure that still resonate nationwide like race, homelessness, AIDS, and gay rights - and reveals the personal toll of being mayor of a wondrous city. Interviews with Carl McCall, Joyce Purnick, Charles Rangel, Henry Stern, and others are included.
The Walter Reade Theater is located at 165 West 65th Street between Amsterdam Avenue and Broadway. Single screening tickets for The New York Jewish Film Festival are $13; $9 for students and seniors (62+); and $8 for Film Society and Jewish Museum members. Tickets for New York Jewish Film Festival screenings are available at the Walter Reade Theater Box Office and online at www.FilmLinc.com. For complete film festival information, visit www.FilmLinc.com, www.TheJewishMuseum.org, or call 212.875.5601.

A Certain Kind of Fire—Trinity Celebrates Martin Luther King, Jr. Day (2)
The campus community commemorated the birthday of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. at the annual gathering on January 21. King would have been 84 years old.
Dr. David Brodnax, Sr., associate professor of history, offered remarks on King's "powerful peace" in his address "' A Certain Kind of Fire': Martin Luther King's Call for Powerful Peace."
"King and the other civil rights activists were able to create real change because they knew that nonviolence could be more powerful than violence," said Brodnax. "He also made it clear that nonviolent resistance was not simply a passive murmur of discontent offered in the face of brute force."
As part of the celebration, poetry readings were given by students Ranesha McGee '15 of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and Dominique Evans '14 of Glenwood, Illinois, and scripture readings by Tabitha Matthews, pre-college coordinator, and Jeremy Klyn '02, director of admissions.
Dr. Dennis Connelly, associate professor of criminal justice, commented on the responsibility of Christians in responding to violence in the world, a response that would follow the words of King's Nobel Prize acceptance speech:
I believe that one day mankind will bow before the altars of God and be crowned triumphant over war and bloodshed, and nonviolent redemptive good will proclaim the rule of the land."
The annual celebration is sponsored by the Office of Ethnic Diversity and the Ethnic Diversity Committee.

Google will double its investment in a new data centre it is building in Taiwan as internet use in Asia rockets beyond what the US internet group predicted a few years ago when it first planned the site, one of its first two data centres in Asia.
The search company already invested $300m in the massive centre on a flat plain outside a city in central Taiwan, and says it will double that in the next stages of the data centre's development. Read more

When the U.S. Olympic men's hockey team goes to Sochi, Russia, to compete in the Winter Games next month, the players will be wearing socks from Tennessee.
And these aren't just any socks, according to Mark Cleveland, CEO of the Brentwood-based Swiftwick athletic sock company. The knee-high compression socks are cut-resistant, made from a fiber-optic core that protects players' feet and ankles from sharp blades, he said.
The socks, manufactured in Chattanooga, were created in 2012 and began growing in popularity in February 2013 when players reacted to Ottawa Senators defenseman Erik Karlsson's injury, in which a hockey blade sliced his Achilles tendon. Players who were going without socks or simply used thin sanitary socks began looking for safer options.
"Overnight, every NHL player went from 'I don't want to be bothered' to 'What's the best sock? I need one right now,' " Cleveland said.
More equipment managers recommended the sock, and more players began using it, and now the brand is now worn by players on more than 12 NHL teams. Benefiting from word-of-mouth endorsements, the Swiftwick hockey sock was selected for the U.S. team last fall, as well as for Latvia's, Cleveland said.
Unseen but 'played'
In addition to shielding players from injury, the Swiftwick socks include a component that channels a player's upper-body sweat to the specific spots on skates where holes are drilled to release moisture. This sock development was invented at Swiftwick and has not been done before, Cleveland said.
"You get pretty hot in skates and pretty hot in all that equipment, so thermal management is pretty important," he said.
Since last spring, hockey socks have climbed to Swiftwick's third-largest market segment, behind cycling and running socks. Some college and high school programs have even begun mandating the cut-resistant product, and the company recently gained a distributor in Alberta, Canada.
When the Olympic men's hockey tournament kicks off Feb. 12, it will not be not Swiftwick's first Olympic gig. In the last Summer Olympics, the company supplied socks to the U.S. cycling team. Cleveland is honored that his company can contribute to the games in this way.
"The work that my employees and company do right here in Tennessee is there," Cleveland said. "We don't get seen, but we get played. That's a real rewarding feeling."

(written by Felicia Yu; photos by Ashby Leavell)
Part of the purpose of the Environmental Impact team is to equip the Fellows with a sustainability-focused mindset and the knowledge of how sustainability can be practiced in all kinds of settings, from our normal sphere of public gardens to places of business unrelated to horticulture (or only just barely).
Newly renovated living wall in the Dansko lobby
For our first spring EI field trip on April 18, Ashby Leavell, Raakel Toppila, Kate Baltzell, and I made the short drive to Jennersville, PA, to see the Dansko shoe company headquarters, where environmental sustainability is just a part of an overall philosophy of doing things the right way whenever possible.
Rain chains adorn the exterior of the company store
Our enthusiastic tour guide and director of facilities at Dansko, Daria Payne, led us around their LEED Gold-certified facility and pointed out all the features that contributed not only to a smaller eco-footprint but also to the well-being of the employees. Wherever there was an opportunity to increase the energy efficiency of the building, the multi-use capacity of its rooms, or the quality of the indoor environment, Dansko took it and ran with it. Office furniture and cubicle walls were made to be portable and reconfigurable. "Smart" lighting adjusts automatically to the amount of daylight coming in through the many, many double-paned argon-filled windows. The outdoor landscaping, from three different living roofs to the rain gardens in and around the parking lot, incorporates thoughtful storm water management practices along with capturing and reusing rainwater for irrigation and the building's toilets.
Daria explaining the features of the new product development space
One of three living roofs; this one includes a patio and shade structure for employee gatherings
Amid all the environmentally friendly features of the campus, the human aspect of the environment is never neglected. Art works from local artists and often made from found materials decorate even the least public areas of the building. A living wall in the lobby and indoor plants everywhere improve the air quality and create a more homelike atmosphere. Enclosed offices and meeting rooms toward the outside of the building have glass walls in order to share the natural light with workspaces in the interior. The company also encourages philanthropy in all its employees by allowing them up to sixteen hours of paid volunteering time with organizations of their own choosing, and the value of their contribution is matched by the company. (Is anyone else starting to feel tempted to put in a job application?)
What was destined for a storage room became a comfortable library for employees at the insistence of Dansko co-founder Mandy Cabot
Our entertaining and enlightening visit ended with—what else—shopping!
How could we not?
Many thanks to Daria and Dansko for a fantastic morning and many lessons learned about running a business profitably AND sustainably.
The group with Daria in the company store. And no, we didn't arrange ourselves in that order on purpose!

Stroke - vertigo
I had a severe episode of vertigo - diagnosed as possible Meniere`s disease or labrynthitis - had an MRI with the following findings: milde periventricular and subcoritcal white matter signal abnormality related to microvasular disease. Impression: Microvascular disease without acute infarct. What is microvascular disease? If I had a small stroke would anything show up on the MRI? Thank you
I have written extensively about white matter disease (also called small vessel ischemic changes, periventricular white matter disease, or leukoariosis). Please refer to previous answers to learn about what this means when seen on an MRI (and the MRI report).

Michael Lohan Arrested for Domestic Violence
Lindsay Lohan's father was arrested Monday night after his girlfriend told police their fight got physical.
-Faye Brennan
Looks like going to jail runs in the family! Last night was a doozy for Lindsay Lohan's father, Michael. Daddy dearest was arrested after his lady friend, which new reports are suggesting is his ex, Kate Major, filed a report with the police, claiming he'd gotten physical during an argument.
Read Who Should Bradley Cooper Date Next?
According to People, Lohan was arrested on three different charges: corporal injury on a cohabitant, false imprisonment and preventing a report of victimization. "He was detained after he was spotted walking on the street near our station," says Lt. John Ratto. "He showed no signs of intoxication that I'm aware of and has been cooperative."
What's peculiar about the incident is that Michael complained of chest pains before being booked, so police took him to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center to be treated. Was this a last desperate attempt at freedom before being locked up?
With bail set at $200,000 and no one in their right mind wanting to help out "the best father of the year," we wouldn't be surprised if it was. Smooth move, Mr. Lohan. (People)

Die hard cheesecake fans may want to avert their eyes as what I'm about to say might be considered blasphemy: I prefer cheesecake bars to actual cheesecake. There, I said it and I'm glad.
My reasons are this:
1) I hate fussing with desserts that need to be baked in water baths
2) My true love is the cheesecake's graham cracker crust
Cheesecake bars solve both of these issues. They're super easy to prepare and that ratio of graham cracker crust to cheesecake filling is much more favorable.
While mint and chocolate might not be the first combo that comes to mind when you're envisioning a cheesecake, it's surprisingly delicious. If it works for ice cream, why not cheesecake, right? These bars take the classic mint and chocolate pairing and give it an extra bit of tang. With plenty of chocolate chips spread throughout the filling and a chocolate graham crust, this makes for a terrific dessert or late night snack for chocolate lovers.

People will see Hazrat Mahdi (as) and Islamic Union within the next 10 years. People will see the Prophet Jesus the Messiah (as) descend from the Presence of Allah after 2000 years. This is the most amazing and astonishing thing, a very great phenomenon, something totally wondrous, the End Times will be so colorful and lovely, masha'Allah. But also note the efforts being made to close off the way of the Mahdi. They are trying to cover it up in a state of panic, and also trying to look good. They pick our nation's sensitive issues. These people say, "Let me be an enemy of the Jews. Even a child of three is my enemy, and I hate them all." They also regard Christians as people to be killed, with a view to earning merit. When we come to these people's main concern, we see that they do not know love. They never speak of love or affection. The never speak of Islamic Union or of Turkish-Islamic Union. They always talk about corruption, jealousy and envy. They envy those more prominent than them. They like only themselves, and nobody else.
Seeing that the spirit of the way of the Mahdi has begun prevailing in Turkey, they are trying to foment backwardness. The spirit of the way of the Mahdi is prevailing, and they are very alarmed, and are trying to create backwardness by imposed and artificial means. They are trying hard, but it cannot happen. Backwardness is what communists, Marxists, atheist freemasons, the alleged organization Ergenekon, various hedonists and people holding other ideas need most of all. They need backward people. It is impossible for them to oppose the truths of Islam in the absence of backwardness. In other words, they have been able to attack the truths of Islam by going on the offensive against backwardness. But they cannot say I am backward when I describe the truths of Islam loudly and clearly and explicitly. A transparent conception of Islam is spreading everywhere, in universities and colleges and everywhere.
Kaçkar TV, 8 December 2010
The Palestinian question cannot be resolved with weak, feeble and passive methods. There can be no solution not based on faith, with no foundation. Allah has shown us the solution to the Palestinian problem; Islamic Union. There is only one solution. It does not matter if Uruguay or Paraguay gives their support if there is no Islamic Union. There has to be a spiritual force, a spiritual. That is a commandment of the Qur'an. There has to be Islamic Union. Once there is Islamic Union, the Palestinian issue will completely be resolved without the need for Uruguay or Paraguay. But it cannot be resolved with rotten methods. If you want to completely liberate Palestine, then you also have to liberate Israel. You also have to liberate Armenia. You have to liberate them all. You cannot discriminate between people. Islamic Union means love and compassions for all servants created by Allah. Islamic Union, or Turkish-Islamic Union, is the name for the system that will liberate Palestine and Israel. Israel is wretched, its people are poor and miserable. And there is no freedom of religion, no freedom of worship. Devout Jews are reviled, oppressed and torn to pieces. Huge walls have turned the place into a prison. Israelis look and see huge walls, not an endless infinity stretching away. Palestinians look and see those same walls. Those walls will be torn down by the power of Turkish-Islamic Union. Otherwise those walls will just grow stronger and stronger. It is a waste of time trying to take action with such hollow and feeble methods. These methods have been used for years and have brought only pain, suffering, insoluble dilemmas and troubles. Even in Arafat's time they were confined and besieged and suffered terribly. But they got nowhere. Palestine was divided even more, separated into even smaller parts. But if they try and resist Islamic Union, then they will follow a terrible line that will make the whole of the Islamic community cry out. When Allah has explicitly shown the solution, when Islamic Union is so obviously the answer, there can be no question of not saying so and seeking the answer down such dead-ends. Had that been possible the problem would long since have been resolved.
(Regarding the matter of Abkhazia) Turkish-Islamic Union is the fundamental solution, and no other action can produce any results. They will always just lead to misery, bloodshed and tears. If people seek the answer outside the path of which Allah has spoken, then Allah has and will devastate people, as you can see. What you call the Israeli lobby is a handful of irreligious people who are oppressing devout Jews in Israel. A handful of irreligious people opposed to the Torah and the Qur'an. We look at the people in the Armenian lobby, the ones I know, of course, I cannot speak of the ones I do not know, but they are just a group made up of a handful of fascists and communists and run by maniacal atheist freemasons. They have set up an enormous balance in the region with such a tiny force. But the Islamic world contains 1.5 billion people. If a half or just a quarter of that 1.5 billion were to say "I want Islamic Union", then Islam would rule the world. But they don't. Some people stand up and add on another 200 years. What do those 200 years mean? Misery for the Islamic world for another 200 years, that is what it is. They are letting Muslims be persecuted for another 200 years. When I speak of the Israeli lobby, I am referring to irreligious types hostile to Jews, too. By the Armenian lobby, I mean people who are also hostile to Armenians, who have shed rivers of Armenian blood. These people do not just shed Turkish blood. They also shed Armenian blood.
There will be no elimination of freewill when the Prophet Jesus (as) comes. He will be in society as someone unable to recall his own past. He will be puzzled. We will think of him as someone who has lost his mental faculties. That is what some people will say. But others will realize from his clothing and behavior that he is someone extraordinary. Later on, he will realize that he is the Prophet Jesus (as). He will have no mother or anyone. They will think he is someone with amnesia. There will be nothing in that to do away with people's using their freewill. But they will realize he is a prophet from his behavior, actions, successes and miracles. Because if he can heal someone just by rubbing his hand on their face, then he is obviously someone extraordinary. More importantly, he will hear a voice, revealed by Allah, saying he can resurrect someone who died 3 hours or 3 days ago. We will understand in our consciences. We are not compelled to believe. Christians will also follow him. Hazrat Mahdi (as) has also come, but freewill has not been done away with. Why this panic if people are not sure that Hazrat Mahdi (as) has come? The reason they are putting Hazrat Mahdi (as) off for another two centuries is that they are so certain of his coming.
You cannot stop or kill Hazrat Mahdi (as). The same goes for the Prophet Jesus (as). And for our Prophet (saas). They were unable to touch him. He lived until he was 63. He was surrounded. His enemies' sole aim was to kill our Prophet (saas). They had all kinds of means and weaponry. And he wore no armor, but spent hours amid the enemy, fighting with his sword, but nobody could hurt him. That is a miracle. And it will be the same with Hazrat Mahdi (as). The fact he cannot be killed and that he is so successful will cause those whose faith is weak to believe.

NORTH ANDOVER, MA – The #4 Merrimack Warriors men's lacrosse team defeated the #5 Adelphi Panthers on Saturday afternoon by the score of 12-8 in front of a packed Martone-Mejail Field. Junior Greg Melaugh (Billerica, Mass.) led the way for the Warriors scoring two goals and adding three assists to avenge the Warriors loss last season to the Panthers in the Northeast-10 Conference championship game.
"That was a hard fought victory today," said head coach Mike Morgan. "I thought the atmosphere was great with the big crowd showing their support for our guys. We cleaned up our defense down the stretch and hit big shots when we needed to, to pick up this big victory. It was a great overall team win for us and now we set our focus on Wednesday for Saint Michael's."
All-American Corey Lunney (Little Silver, NJ) finished the game with two goals and an assist as did junior Mike Perdie (Wading River, NY). Jamie Shand (Massapequa, NY) scored two goals and Paul Jones (Guilderland, NY) assisted on two other Warrior goals.
The Warriors outscored the Panthers 6-1 in the second period leading to the victory.
The Panthers would strike first less than four minutes into the game as Kieran Riegel beat Morgan Green (Portsmouth, RI) stick side to give Adelphi the early advantage. The Panthers would increase the score to 2-0 as Michael Rossi found the back of the net.
The Warriors would respond to the Rossi goal just over a minute later as DJ Brown (Huntington, NY) ripped a shot past the Adelphi goalie after a Melaugh pass, making the score 2-1 in favor of Adelphi. Melaugh would tie the game up himself a minute later as he used a great individual move to get free in front for the goal.
Joe Celano would give the Panthers the 3-2 lead to close out the first period of play as he beat Green for his first goal of the day.
The Warriors would open up the second period with a man up marker by Lunney after another Melaugh pass. Shand would find the back of the net less than 30 seconds later giving the Warriors the 4-3 lead. Merrimack would score three more goals during the stretch to give them the 7-3 lead. The three goals were scored by Shand, Paul Gallagher (Simsbury, CT) and Perdie. The Gallagher marker was his first career goal as a Warrior.
Adelphi would end the 5-0 scoring run for the Warriors with a marker of their own before Melaugh put one home with two seconds remaining in the first half to give the Warriors the 8-4 lead heading into the locker room.
The Warriors dominated the stat sheet in the opening half as they outshot the Panthers 27-8 and went 10-13 on faceoff attempts. The Warriors scooped up 23 groundballs and were 9-10 on clearing attempts in the first half of action.
The Panthers would open up the third period with a man up tally by Danny Blau to make the score 8-5 in favor of the Warriors. Freshman Kyle Guilbert (Walpole, Mass.) would score the only goal of the third period for the Warriors as he took a Perdie pass and scored a diving goal to make the score 9-5. Rossi would end the third period with a goal for the Panthers, cutting the Warriors lead to three heading into the final period.
Perdie would find the back of the net less than four minutes into the final period as Jones found him open in front of the net. Adelphi would score on their very next shot attempt as Shane Wynn put one past Morgan.
Lunney and Celano would trade goals for either team making the score 11-8 with just over five minutes remaining in the game. With 3:59 showing on the clock Brandon Waiter (Westport, CT) would put the Panthers away with his first goal of the season as he fired one past the Adelphi goalie after a Lunney pass led his straight to the net.
The Warriors ran the final minute and a half off the game clock to preserve the victory 12-8.
Defensively Peter Schielke (Ridgefield, CT) and Jimmy Holland (Billerica, Mass.) were forces all afternoon long, causing eight Adelphi turnovers between them. Schielke finished off his impressive game with six caused turnovers and four groundballs. Holland closed out the game with two caused turnovers and four groundballs for the Warriors. Junior Brad Duhaime (Salem, Mass.) picked up his first assist of the season on the Gallagher tally in the first half.
Green continued his impressive freshman season improving to 6-0 on the season, making five saves for the Warriors including a huge save late in the game as an Adelphi attacker was on the doorstep to try and cut the Merrimack lead to two.
Merrimack (6-0) will stay at Martone-Mejail field for a conference matchup with Saint Michael's on Wednesday April 4 at 4 pm. The 6-0 start marks the best start to a season since the 2009 season when the Warriors went 9-0 to open up.

Having studied evolutionary psychology and sociobiology which seems to right now be the dominant explanation of the nature of biological human life and thus existence, it seems to me like erotic sadism is the driving force behind existence. We are besieged by Schopenhauer's hegehog's dilemma. We hedgehogs have a need to be close to one another for warmth, and yet our point pricks ensure that we cause pain whenever in contact. Do our selfish-genes need us to be happy? Look at the immense misery of domestic cattle, who exist only to feed man. Their brief knowledge of life is simply a long torture. Yet they can not will themselves out of existence. From the point of view of the data contained in their genes, they are very successful. Humans will take great care to ensure that they survive and reproduce. And so from the perspective of evolution, farm animals are far more successful than wild animals. And that is also the human condition. We are bred to survive, and however miserable we might be, we also serve to further the gene.
What is the nature of woman? It was simpler to view them from only the blank slatist feminist doctrine that they are simply men. To accept evopsych and its various offshoots on the uniqueness of woman, makes life more complicated. Do women simply exist for pain? Like farm animals, their condition might always be miserable as mere playthings and meat for men, but they would still propagate their selfish genes under such conditions. Are women driven by an emotional desire to be dominated and hurt by dominant men?
What kind of world is this? This brutal Darwinian struggle, red in tooth and claw, and how does one live in it? Should we hate our parents for forcing us to be born, merely to satisfy their selfish-genes? Am I just a robot for my parent's inferior genes?

March 24, 2014
Gooey and sweet squares of crunchy rice cereal are one of America's favorite treats. Rice Krispies treats are at least 70 years old and they have an Iowa connection.
According to kellogghistory.com, Kellogg's Rice Krispies cereal first showed up on grocery store shelves in 1928. The noisy cereal was instantly popular.
The words Snap! Crackle! Pop! initially appeared in a print ad, then on a cereal box in 1932. The following year the three characters were featured on a radio commercial and also appeared in ads and posters.
The adorable little bakers didn't show up on the Rice Krispies cereal box all together until 1941 as Snap was the one originally featured. Finally Snap, Crackle and Pop made their television debut in 1955, and over the years they have undergone several makeovers.
It is believed around 1939, Mildred Day, the woman credited with the invention of Rice Krispies treats, who was born in Marion County, Iowa, in 1903 and was a graduate of Iowa State University, and her co-worker Malitta Jensen created the sticky treat. The two were working at Kellogg's in Battle Creek, Mich., and modeled the recipe after a similar one that used puffed wheat and molasses. It was Day's idea to use marshmallows instead of messy molasses.
Not too long after the women invented the gooey treats, they were contacted by Camp Fire Girls in Kansas City asking for fundraising ideas. Kellogg's initially called the treats "marshmallow squares" and sent Day by train to Kansas City with a giant mixer and baking trays.
Day made batch after batch of marshmallow squares for many long days. The mothers of the Camp Fire Girls wrapped up the treats and the girls sold them door to door.
In 1941 Kellogg's added the recipe to its Rice Krispies cereal box, and the treats became a popular food to send to military service overseas. Over the years this iconic snack has also been a part of childhood memories of many Americans.
In 2001 during the Veishea celebration at Iowa State University in April, Mildred Day's memory was honored with a humungous Rice Krispies treat that weighed a whopping 2,480 pounds. It was made using 818 pounds of Rice Krispies, 1,466 pounds of marshmallows and 217 pounds of butter.
The Original Treats
Here is Kellogg's classic recipe that has been made generation after generation.
3 tablespoons butter or margarine
1 package (10 oz, about 40) regular marshmallows
4 cups miniature marshmallows
6 cups Rice Krispies
In large saucepan melt butter over low heat. Add marshmallows and stir until completely melted. Remove from heat. Add Kellogg's Rice Krispies cereal. Stir until well coated. Using buttered spatula or wax paper evenly press mixture into 13x9x2-inch pan coated with cooking spray. Cool. Cut into 2-inch squares. Best if served the same day.
Microwave Directions:
In microwave-safe bowl heat butter and marshmallows on high for 3 minutes, stirring after 2 minutes. Stir until smooth. Follow steps 2 and 3 above. Microwave cooking times may vary.
For best results, use fresh marshmallows.
1 jar (7 oz) marshmallow crème can be substituted for marshmallows.
Diet, reduced calorie or tub margarine is not recommended.
Store no more than two days at room temperature in airtight container.
To freeze, place in layers separated by wax paper in airtight container. Freeze for up to 6 weeks.
Let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes before serving.
Chocolate Yummies
For a sweet tooth that involves chocolate, this ooey, gooey treat will do the trick. Not only does is it made of Rice Krispies and marshmallows, it also includes graham crackers, peanut butter and chocolate chips.
7 crackers Keebler Grahams Original
2 1/2 cups miniature marshmallows
1 pkg (12 oz, 2 cups) semi-sweet chocolate morsels
2/3 cup light corn syrup
3 tablespoons butter or margarine
1/2 cup crunchy peanut butter
3 cups Rice Krispies®
Microwave Directions:
Coat a 13x9x2-inch microwave-safe dish with cooking spray. Arrange graham crackers in single layer in dish, breaking crackers as needed to fit. Sprinkle marshmallows evenly over crackers.
Microwave on high 1 minute or until marshmallows are puffy. Remove from microwave. Cool completely.
In a 2-quart microwave-safe mixing bowl combine chocolate morsels, corn syrup and butter. Microwave on high about 1 1/2 minutes or until chocolate is melted, stirring every 30 seconds. Stir in peanut butter. Add Rice Krispies cereal, mixing until combined.
Spread evenly over marshmallows. Cover and refrigerate about 1 hour or until firm. Cut and store in airtight container in refrigerator.
Conventional Directions:
Follow step 1 above using 13x9x2-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray. Bake at 375 degrees for about 7 minutes or until marshmallows are puffy. Cool completely. In medium saucepan combine chocolate morsels, corn syrup and butter. Cook stirring constantly, over medium-low heat until melted. Remove from heat. Stir in peanut butter. Add cereal, mixing until combined. Complete as in steps above.
Note: Each cracker sheet measures about 5x2 inches and is scored into 4 pieces.
Nutella Rice Krispie Treats
Nutella, an Italian hazelnut spread with a hint of chocolate, is a rich and creamy way to change up traditional Rice Krispies treats.
When I saw the recipe on ohbiteit.com, I knew I had to try it. I have been a fan of Nutella since I first tried it in junior high.
6 cups Rice Krispies
40 regular sized marshmallows
3 tablespoons butter
1 cup of Nutella
In a double boiler over medium heat melt the marshmallows and butter. Stir until smooth, and then swirl in the Nutella.
In a large bowl add the Rice Krispies and then add the marshmallow mixture. Stir well.
Pour the mixture into a greased pan. Let them set up until they're totally cool. If you wish, spread the top of treats with more Nutella.
Hidden Surprise Easter Egg Treats
Surprise your little bunnies and chicks this Easter with a Rice Krispies egg filled with candy. These eggs are just as fun to make as they are to eat.
12 plastic snap-apart 3x2-in Easter eggs
3 tablespoons butter or margarine
1 package (10 oz, about 40) regular marshmallows
4 cups miniature marshmallows
6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
1/2 cup M&M'S Chocolate Candies
canned frosting or decorating gel (optional)
Clean, then coat inside of plastic eggs with cooking spray. Set aside.
In large saucepan melt butter over low heat. Add miniature marshmallows and stir until completely melted. Remove from heat. Add Rice Krispies cereal. Stir until well coated.
Using greased hands, firmly press 1/4 cup of the cereal mixture into each plastic egg half. Use fingers to make hollow center in each half. Remove from molds. Place on wax paper. Cool slightly.
Place about 6 M&M'S in one half of each egg. Gently press two halves of each egg together until they stick. Cool completely.
Decorate with frosting and additional M&M'S (if desired). Best if served the same day.
(Microwave Directions):
Follow step the first step above. In microwave-safe bowl heat butter and marshmallows on high for 3 minutes, stirring after 2 minutes. Stir until smooth. Follow steps remaining steps above. Microwave cooking times may vary.

'Tis the season to treat yourself to special recipes
By Jane Lawson
, The Daily Times Herald
The Lawson Family's holiday card photo - Danny, Kellan, almost 5, Jane, and Carsten, 2
Delayne Morris of Ottumwa makes homemade caramel corn to give to family, friends, co-workers, and teachers. (From left: Dustin, Devin, 9, and Delayne).
In just a few short hours, Santa Claus will be making his way down chimneys to nibble upon the tasty cookies left for him by hopeful children.
Holiday cookies and candies are made even more delicious as we get to sample them just once a year. There are some foods that make the holiday complete. Perhaps it's Grandma's gingerbread cookies or Aunt Mary's fruit salad that is your awaited taste of the Christmas season. Or maybe the holidays are a time to try something new and keep up with the times.
Whatever it may be, Happy Holidays from our home to yours.
Mom's Sugar Cookies
Michelle Sigler, of Dallas Center, and her family bake sugar cookies with her parents, Dan and Teresa Case, of Grimes, each year. It's become an annual tradition because everyone in the family likes to pitch in and help decorate the cookies. Michelle and her husband, Dave, have four children, Cole, 14, Luke, 12, Zack, 9, and Elliana, 4.
Michelle said this year, Elli definitely took the prize for decorating. Elli worked for hours to make her cookies look beautiful.
This recipe comes from Michelle's grandma and it is a family favorite. Michelle thinks they are the best tasting sugar cookies and they work very well for decorating. The recipe yields ten dozen cookies plenty to keep for your family get-togethers, plus some to bring to neighbors and friends.
3 cups sugar
1 cup lard (Crisco - Michelle really wants to try butter instead, but her mom says no)
3 eggs
dash of salt
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 1/2 cups sour cream (16 oz)
1 teaspoon baking soda
8 cups flour (my mom usually has to use her hands to work it all in)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Flour countertop and roll out dough to cut into shapes with cookie cutters. We find metal cookie cutters work best. Place shapes on pan and leave a little room in between each cookie for them to "poof up." Bake each pan for 6 minutes. Cookies will be light and fluffy. Let them cool before you frost and decorate them.
Ice Cream Cinnamon Rolls
A friend in Michelle's church group gave her this recipe that has turned into a holiday tradition for the Sigler family.
On the night of Christmas Eve, Michelle (a 1994 Carroll High School graduate) prepares the cinnamon rolls about an hour before she goes to bed. In the morning after the gifts from Santa have been opened and photos have been snapped Michelle bakes the rolls. Michelle said the rolls are beyond delicious and they tasted like homemade cinnamon rolls, but without all the work.
1 pkg frozen Rhodes cinnamon rolls
1 cup French vanilla ice cream
1 stick butter
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon almond extract (optional - I leave it out)
Bring sauce to a rolling boil and cook for 2-3 minutes. Set aside and let cool. Place 12 rolls in a buttered 9x13 pan. Pour sauce over them. Cover with plastic wrap (spray the inside of the wrap with nonstick spray so it doesn't stick).
Bake the rolls at 350 degrees for 20-30 minutes. Cool slightly and frost with the packets that came with the rolls.
Caramel Corn
Delayne Morris of Ottumwa (formerly of Carroll) enjoys making batches of homemade caramel corn to give away at Christmastime. She packs the caramel corn in decorative tins to give to family, friends, co-workers, and teachers of her son, Devin, 9.
7½ quarts popped popcorn
2 cups brown sugar
1 cup butter
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
Preheat oven to 200 degrees. In a saucepan, heat butter, sugar, corn syrup, and salt. Stir occasionally. When the mixture comes to a full boil, cook for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in baking soda. Pour caramel mixture over popcorn and mix until evenly coated. Bake for 1 hour in a large, greased roasting pan, stirring every 15 minutes. Store in an airtight container.
*For some extra crunch, stir in 1-2 cups of peanuts (honey or dry roasted) or pecans.
Creamy Brussels Sprout Gratin
To add to my holiday cooking adventures, I am trying out two new side dishes. The following recipe comes from Fine Cooking. I've always liked Brussels sprouts even as a child. I remember ordering crab legs and Brussels sprouts for dinner one time and the waiter being very impressed with my mature palate.
2 lbs Brussels sprouts, stem ends trimmed and outer leaves removed; sprouts cut in half through the stem end
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup coarse fresh breadcrumbs (from a baguette or other white bread)
3/4 oz (1/4 cup) finely grated Gruyère
1 1/4 cups heavy cream
Heat the oven to 425 degrees. Place the Brussels sprouts in a shallow baking dish that will hold them in a snug single layer (a 9x13-inch rectangle or slightly smaller oval is good). Toss with 2 tablespoons of the melted butter, ¾ teaspoon salt, and several grinds of pepper. Spread them evenly in the dish and roast, tossing once or twice, until browned in spots and tender when pierced with a knife, 25 to 30 minutes.
While the sprouts roast, combine the breadcrumbs with the remaining 1 tablespoon melted butter and 1/8 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Mix in the Gruyère.
When the Brussels sprouts are tender and browned, pour the cream over them and continue baking until the cream has thickened to a saucy consistency and coats the sprouts, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven. Set the oven to broil and position a rack to 6 inches below the broiler. Sprinkle on the breadcrumb mixture. Broil the gratin until the crust is deep golden brown, about 5 minutes.
9 Hour Burgundy Mushrooms
When I saw these mushrooms being prepared on the "Pioneer Woman" on the Food Network, I thought they looked interesting. I was even more intrigued when I saw they take a full nine hours to cook. I am armed and ready to try my hand at preparing them for our Christmas Eve dinner alongside smoked baby back ribs, bleu cheese and Rosemary mashed potatoes, and Brussels sprout gratin.
4 lbs white button mushrooms
2 sticks butter
1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 liter Burgundy wine (other reds will work)
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 cups boiling water
4 whole chicken bouillon cubes
4 whole beef bouillon cubes
1 teaspoon dill seed
5 cloves garlic, peeled
2 teaspoons salt
Thoroughly wash the mushrooms and place them in a large stockpot. Add all the remaining ingredients except the salt. Stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, for six hours.
Remove the lid then continue cooking, uncovered, for three hours. Add salt to taste at the end if desired. The mushrooms will be very dark in color. Simmer until needed. Serve straight from the pot or in a serving bowl. Dip crusty bread in the juice. Mushrooms keep well in the refrigerator.

Thread: So I made a game (sort of...)
So I made a game (sort of...)
Another Edit (I put this thing up way to early): I decided to spent some more time with it in order to make it less obscure. This may take some time, but I'm going to constantly update this page, as I'm still relying on other people telling me what's wrong with it.
I was toying with the idea of making videogames for quite some time (who hasn't?) but always bounced off the programming stuff. I was also hesitant to use any of the 'you don't need to program'-Programs (e.g. Construct), because I actually wanted to learn how to program.
So at the beginning of this year, due to a suggestion in the comments beneath one of those 'Learn how to program in Minecraft' Posts on RPS, I found Codeacademy. About two weeks ago I started putting something together in Unity.
And here we have the result. In lack of any better name, I called it 'Telos'.
And if you already thought that the name sounds slightly pretentious, wait until you hear what's it about.
Telos is a game about the Problem of Induction. Its main Element is based upon a thought experiment by Paul Watzlawick (1921-2007), called 'Die Abergläubische Ratte' ('The superstitious Rat'), published in his Book 'Wie wirklich ist die Wirklichkeit?' ('How Real is Real' in english (according to Wikipedia.)).
My goal was to present a simple example of how humans try to gain reliable knowledge about our world and what kind of problems we might encounter while pursuing
this knowledge. This game is an experiment since I haven't done anything like that before. It's also an 'ingame experiment' as you (the player) has no clue about how the world you're
put into actually works. You have to find that out for yourself.
You can get it here:
(If someone has a better suggestion to host the file then dropbox, please feel free to tell me.)
You can choose between a Windows (not XP), Mac and Linux-Version, but the latter two are completely untested, so if you happen to try them out, please tell me whether or not they actually work.
Please also tell me if you encounter any other kind of technical Problem. I can't promise anything, but I will at least try to fix it.
Besides that, it should run on almost anything. Just be wary for the giant ball of unoptimised particle effects that is 'the sun' as it tanked the framerate on my (fairly crappy) Laptop when I looked at it. I reduced its size in the latest version, but chances are hight that it wasn't enough.

It might help if you told us a bit about the game :)
Last edited by MOKKA; 13-03-2013 at 10:49 AM.
hello MOKKA
just downloaded your game and had a quick play, thought i would offer you some feedback if that is okay
- i loved the volume change from the initial starting corridor to the adjacent chamber, small auditory tweaks like this can have larger implications for how the player experiences/perceives the game world, so kudos to you
- i thought the overall visual design (lots of flat colours, hard to differentiate between vertical/horizontal surfaces) slightly reminiscent of that terry cavanagh game "At a Distance" (here is link incase you are interested: http://distractionware.com/blog/2011/12/at-a-distance/ ) - but sometimes it was hard to visually 'read' what was going on in your environment, whereas the at a distance style pushes that difficulty of depth perception so much, that it becomes a game mechanic! i guess i'm trying to say, maybe push the visual style to a further extreme, or simplify it some?
- i got to the top of a room, where there were 3 buttons with corresponding sounds - after pressing them all out of order, then in order, then in backwards order, nothing seemed to happen & i couldn't progress - maybe that just illustrates i'm not a very smart cookie, but might i suggest more visual feedback which correspond to player actions?
but for a project which is your first, i think it's great! and thanks for posting it, & also thanks for introducing me to codeacadamy, maybe in a few more months you can comment on one of my games :D
all best, and i hope my comments didn't sound at all negative (not my intention)
Sorry for the late answer, it's sounds a bit funny, but just when I was about to answer you on friday, my Internet died.
Anyway, let's talk about your points in paticular.
Now onto the buttons, which somehow adresses one of the main flaws of this thing. So far the only people who are able to 'get' what I'm trying to do with this game, are the one's who know the thought-experiment I mentioned in the OP. This or I told them personally what's it about.
So let me give you a quick summary about it:
Imagine the following experiment:
You have a corridor, on one end you put a bowl and on the other end, you put a rat. After 10 seconds, food will fall into the bow,but only if the rat does not reach it, before those 10 seconds are up. After some trial and error the rat will recognise a correlation between the time which has passed and the appearance of food. it usually takes the rat about 2 seconds to get to the bowl, which isn't enough. So the rat needs to something else in order to pass more time. What she does is at first, completely random, but with repetition will get a 'pseudocausal' status. Which means that the rat is going to repeat the exact same motions over and over again, because she thinks that it's because of those motions that the food appears.
What fascinates me about this thought experiment is that you see this kind of behaviour in humans every day. Just on my way to the university today I saw a woman in the bus pressing the 'stop' button next to the door, because she thinks she needs to press it in order for the door to open. But this is not true.
The important thing is, that we can never be sure that whatever kind of causal relationship we think we have found in the world is actually true. It could be something completely different. So, by repeating the same things over and over again, we will never learn anything new, we will only verify our own believes.
Science tries to circumvent this problem by using falsification. Science does not really seeks the 'truth'. It actually tries to find out what's wrong. The only thing we can at least remotely be sure of is, that if something is proven wrong, it usually stays wrong.
Why am I writing this? Because this is what I want to demonstrate with this game. Sadly so far it's not completely possible right now. This has mostly two reasons:
Firstly: There is no incentive for the player to get some food. It takes some time for the food to appear and the size of the level makes it highly unlikely that the player even gets the food, if he's not actively looking for it.
How could I circumvent it? Well, by either changing the mechanism, or by giving the player a reason to stay near the 'food machine'.
Secondly: Even if the player manages to get repeatedly some food and even develops his own kind of superstitious rule about how the food appears, he will never ever come to the point and starts to ask himself some questions of existential importance. Why should he? He's comfortable. So I need to push the player. But I also don't want to rub it into his face. I always found those games the most impressive where I got tricked into doing something and which then confronted me with this later on.
I have some ideas which might work, but I haven't tried to implement them right now. Partially, because I'm still without Internet at home and I still need it look up on all these programming things.
The other reason why I'm hesitant to do it, and this is going to sound a bit pretentious (but I mean it nonetheless): I'm afraid of dilluting the initial message by making it 'more clear'.
You know what my first idea was? To simply make an empty room, which rotates around a sun. I wanted to make something like this, to ask the question if a game even need to have an externally defined goal and purpose. This somehow then got mixed with this other idea about the food machine. And I'm still hesitant to give the player some kind of 'goal' in order to get him to do stuff.
I think I'm going to do something very subtle. Maybe make the world a bit less static and put in some text which appears at certain points in the game.
And now, after reading this, I'm going to let you answer the question whether or not the buttons actually do anything yourself.
I probably should've picked something less philosophical as a first project. But to be honest, the potential of adressing question like this was the reason what really got me interested in making my own games.
But do it. Make some room in your schedule and start learning. Making this thing was (and still is) highly frustrating. But writing a piece of code and after hours of screaming see it executing exactly as you intended it, is very rewarding. And if anything, it really makes you appreciate all those people who make games for a living.

Hi Mokka, what programming language did you use for this / what course in code academy did you take? I've started doing programming classes on udacity and been enjoying it quite a bit, with probably the eventual goal of making my own game as well. I'm going to download this and check it out--will let you know once I do.
By the way, you don't really need to know how to code in order to make games. Sure being able to program helps, but things like Construct or Game maker (to some extend) let you put stuff together witouth coding. If you like making games you can still start to learn a programming language after that. I just happened to go that way, because I actually want to learn how to program. Just do what you think works best for you. Don't look too much at other people, don't think too much about it, just start working on it.
I'm still without Internet at home, but hopefully I'll be able to update the game during the weekend. You can still play the current version if you like, be it only to verify my current hypothesis. After that last update I'm going to start working on something new with a bit more player interaction.

|Part 3: PC-Based Navigational Systems
Manufacturers also take pains to persuade boaters of the advantages of PC-based navigational systems. They tout a clean, consolidated helm with out-of-sight black box units for radar, depthsounder, and other components interfaced with a sleek saltwater and shock-resistant laptop that can also display instruments and gauges for engine, bilge, and tank monitoring. They describe a cornucopia of chartplotting software from Nobeltec, RayTech, Maptech, and others that includes easily updated electronic charts, daily weather overlays, aerial photography, and more. And they remind boaters of more established uses such as e-mail, fax, and general office applications that can add to onboard convenience.
Yet even with all this dangling like a bunch of carrots, most boaters still don't get over their PC aversion, and marinized PC makers command only a tiny fraction of the boating electronics market. What to do?
That's the question that best guides our conjecture as to what the Raymarine Argonaut computer will be like, since at presstime the specifics of the project were still being kept under wraps.
First of all, it's almost certain to look more like a dedicated component than like a PC. Nothing brings out digital mal de mer faster than a keyboard/monitor/mouse combination. As Mobley says, "People who have it in their heads that they're not computer-literate or who steer clear of computers because they feel they are not fail-safe are a lot more likely to buy [one] if it doesn't appear to be a computer."
For the same reason, the Raymarine Argonaut is likely to jump straight to RayTech Navigator graphics at startup, keeping the Windows desktop at a discreet distance unless specifically sent for. No need for unpleasant reminders until they're absolutely necessary.
Since touchscreens and digitizer pens are among Xplore's specialties, the Argonaut will probably be operated by fingertip. (A keyboard that you can keep buried in a chart drawer until you decide to respond to your daughter's accumulated e-mails will almost certainly be a plug-in option.) User-friendliness being the other half of the battle, navigating the system will have to be as easy as pie. Kioutis hints that this computer's simplicity will be unprecedented.
We can also presume that the system will conform to RayTalk protocols, allowing interfacing with dedicated Raymarine components. This way users will enjoy centralized control over the helm without entirely giving up the reassuring presence of stand-alone components.
Of course, all of this is mere hypothesis until autumn, when the three partners are scheduled to unveil their new system. In the meantime, we can muse on how its development may affect the way boaters configure their helms in the future. Raymarine is an important and experienced marketer of marine technology. Many skippers equate the company with quality and reliability in the wheelhouse. Its open endorsement of a computer may be all that's necessary to convince squeamish helmsmen to finally get their PC-legs.

Balance is defined as a state of equilibrium or equipoise; equal distribution of weight, amount, etc. By its own description it has nothing to do with basketball in particular and yet it has everything to do with roundball when viewed up close by Coach Chuck Martin and his staff.
Over the past few years, the offensive production of the Mustang attack has been tipping toward the backcourt, producing the club's top scorers without much of a complement from those playing up front. That's about to change or least that's the objective of the seventh-year head coach who finally has the athletes to do something about it.
One of those expected to bring balance via a strong low-post game is sophomore transfer Korey Anderson. His left-handed repertoire positions him well at power forward but his versatile, back-to-the-basket game will allow him to make a seamless transition to the five when necessary. Fellow second-year player Chris Patureau, pegged to start at the four-spot, is a rugged competitor who does a lot of dirty work that typically goes unnoticed by everybody except the coaches. Although this pair is essentially competing for playing time at the same position, expect them to be in the game together at times to create more offense.
If that combo produces as expected, then senior center Paul Brown, a monster at the defensive end, can continue to focus his efforts on rebounding and altering and blocking shots. However, even a slight increase in offensive production would keep defenses honest and give the club more options. Junior transfer Austin Loeb is especially strong at the offensive end and could provide a nice contrast to Brown in reserve.
However, it's not all about what's up front because Martin has plenty of proven firepower in the backcourt, especially on the wings where seniors Leif Karlberg and Devin Dyer complement each other with diverse games. The veteran tandem has played together for the past three years so they know each other's games inside out. Karlberg is the one who can stretch defenses from behind the arc while Dyer is the one Martin turns to in late-game situations to create game-winning shots.
When one or both of those needs a breather, fellow senior Lance Reeves and two newcomers, sophomore Derrick Fain and junior Jason Logan, will be called upon to produce without any drop-off in productivity. Both Reeves and Fain possess long-range games similar to that of Karlberg and a gritty demeanor that is perfect for a change of pace. Logan, meanwhile, is a slasher who feels most comfortable above the rim where his leaping ability takes him to both score and defend.
As important as all of this is, none of it will be utilized to its fullest without someone triggering the offense and spearheading the defense. With that in mind, Martin and his staff are putting that responsibility in the hands of sophomore point guard Monice Garrett whose pass-first mentality bodes well for the veteran wings and a front court that's trying to establish its offensive persona. Junior Logan Quinn thinks the same way with the ball in his hands, so his play off the bench will provide much-needed continuity.
Now on the cusp of another campaign, it becomes the responsibility of Martin and his staff to make these talented individuals gel as a unit. That unity will be tested as the club embarks on a 29-game regular schedule that features contests against five squads that are nationally-ranked in various preseason polls. Three of the teams, top-ranked and defending national champion Concordia, No. 8 Westmont, and No. 13 Biola, all reside in a slimmed-down yet ultra-competitive GSAC. The Mustangs will also take on 20th-ranked Cal State Marcos and travel to NCAA Division power, No. 11 Cal Poly Pomona in the season's second week. The slate is a challenging one but this squad has enormous potential if it can only keep its balance.

I have just got the latest build(pre14-s3is-100a-57.zip) by GrAnd, loaded it on my S3 IS. Loaded few of the defaul scripts from this very site. I was trying to get the "exp-bracketing.bas" script working for me but it would just Print the following and do nothing just sit on it
Preparing..... Shoot 1 of 5
Then i had to terminate the script with the shoot button.
for some reason "shoot" wont work on my S3. then i replaced the shoot with
click "shoot_full" followed by sleep 2000
this worked for me, in the sense that i was able to click photo with this scripts but all at the same EXPOSURE. i.e. "-2"
The script would first get the exposure level to "-2" wit the help of this loop:
print "Preparing..." click "erase" for n=1 to a*b
click "left" sleep 600
next n
But then when i came to click the other way i.e. click "right" it some how desnt do that :-(
for s=1 to a*2
print "Shoot", s, "of", a*2+1 click "shoot_full" sleep 2000 for n=1 to b print "right click", n click "right" sleep 600 next n
next s
What could be the reason ? M i missing anything ? or my approach is wrong ? Please help me out. Thanks -WNC

A few days ago I spoke about Ancestry adding to their UK collection without putting up a stand-alone advert box on their main page, they just add it under the What's New page. Today I will talk about another new Ancestry database London Poor Law Removal & Settlement Records 1828 –1930.
If you have never used this type of records before then you are in for a treat. Basically they come about because some-one who didn't 'belong' to a parish has fallen on hard times and is costing that parish money and they don't want to pay out for food, clothes, medical treatment etc. for someone who isn't their responsibility. The law concerning this is centuries old and it was by an 1572 Act that each parish had to appoint an Overseer of the Poor to handle such matters.
This set of records would have been created in consequence of the 1834 Poor Law Amendment Act which grouped parishes in unions and appointed Boards of Guardians amongst it's rate payers who oversaw the needs of the poor, sick and elderly. The system remained in place until 1930 when a further act handed the responsibility to borough and county councils.
The Poor Law system and workhouses were viewed with some dismay amongst those who felt there was a chance that they may end up in them and the phrase "You have us ending up in the workhouse" when someone did something wasteful or thoughtless was still to be heard partly as a threat and partly as a prediction well into the 1960's.
A person's place of rightful settlement was established by various means; by birth, father's place of settlement, residence over a certain period, marriage (wives took on their husbands place of legal settlement), serving an apprenticeship and a number of other ways. This all altered over the years when amendments to the act were declared. If a person was living not in their place of settlement and had to call on the assistance of the Board of Guardians for assistance then an examination of the person and their situation was called with testimony from the person concerned and sometimes witnesses. Depending on the evidence given a removal order might be issued and the person returned back to the parish that was deemed to be their rightful place of settlement.
This database contains the documents that have survived for the unions of Bethnal Green, Hackney, Poplar, Shoreditch, and Stepney.
The amount of information given in an individuals each set of documents varies greatly, but here is an example of a Removal Order and a Settlement Certificate.
Removal Order
The removal order is a pre-printed page with details entered and then a page written out by hand as to the circumstances leading up to the removal order. The facts given as as follows –
To the Guardians of the Poor St Leonards, Shoreditch
From Hackney Union
The Hackney Union is sending them all back to the Shoreditch Union.
27 October 1899
Mary Ann MATKIN, a pauper aged about 45 years who is in the Hackney Workhouse and her children William 11 years, George 9 years and James 7 years who at living at the Strand Union School, Edmonton.
Mary Ann is the lawful wife of John Matkin who is absent.
Mary Ann states that on 17th October she left her husband at 43 Abbotts Street, Kingsland, they had lived there for less than 3 months. There is then a list of other addresses where they had lived and the approximate length of time.
She goes onto say that on 10 May 1880 she married William Matkin at St Mary's Church, Beverley, Yorkshire. There is then a list of places in Beverley where they lived and the approximate time periods. The names and birth months and years of their children are given.
William the father was in the Shoreditch Infirmary in 1885 and last year they applied for help from the Medical office of Shoreditch.
So it can be seen that whilst it was not easy for your ancestors to be the subject of a removal order they do provide some great genealogical information. By the way I couldn't resist but search for Mary Ann and family in the 1901 census and she is living with her children in Spitalfields, none of them states they have a job so i suspect she is receiving out-relief – no sign of a husband!!
Settlement Certificate
3 March 1852
Mary Alpin aged 10 weeks has been left with Mrs Rogers at Mr Jeffreys, Grove Parsonage, Hackney. She doesn't have settlement in Hackney.
Notes state that her mother has died and she has been deserted by her father John Alpin late of 24 Regents Road, Stepney at Mrs Welch's. John Alpin last worked at the Central Gas Works, Bow. The father is to be apprehended.
Mary's details have been written up in the Hackney Union Settlements of the Poor pre-printed book. As her mother has died and her father has deserted her they have written her in the settlement book because that is where she was born. However if her father can be found she will be handed over either to him or to his place of settlement. There will be court records regarding the order to find and apprehend John Alpin so that is another set of documents that could be searched for.
Again I couldn't resist seeing what happened to baby Mary Alpin. In 1861 she is a nurse child with William & Rebecca Rogers living in Limehouse, they also have another nursechild. Sadly there is an entry in the GRO death index for Mary Ann Rogers Alpin in the June qrt of 1865 which is almost certainly her.
Do take a look at these records, they are a treasure house of great genealogy material. I assume that this collection may be added to as more records are indexed. The originals are held at the London Metropolitan Archive, London and they have been indexed by the Ancestry World Archives Project volunteers.
