Not a great while before Benge's last predatory incursion, 1794, a man by the name of Hobbs, almost, if not quite, the equal of Cottrell in prowess, bravery, activity and daring, and "some among Ingins" as, the phrase had it, determined to discovered the secret path by which Benge crossed Cumberland mountains and entered and retired from the settlements. He at length ascertained it to be one of two cattle paths crossing the-mountain midway between two gaps some few miles apart, through which the highways into Kentucky lay in those days. He at once organized a squad of mountaineers to meet him at a designated spot the moment it was kno~wn that Indians were in the settlements.
Time wore on, and all was pleasant and prosperous on the Holston. One bright morning in May, 1794, after the sun had risen and the men had gone to the clearings and the women were busy at their wheels and looms, all joyous and jovial amid the fragrance of wild flowers and the music of song-birds, and not dreaming -of coming danger Benge and his painted warriors stealthily approached and surrounded the cabins of Peter Livingston. The writer will here give the narrative of the capture and massacre in the words of Mrs. Osborne, who was the daughter of Peter Livingston, was one of the captives, frequently heard the narrative from the lips of her parents, and is still living within sight of the spot where the outrage occurred:
When the party of Indians were first discovered by Mrs. Elizabeth Livingston, they were within a short distance of the house. Her-attention was attracted by the barking of a dog, and seeing them, and knowing their evil design, she fastened the door to prevent their entrance, and awaited the attack. While they were trying to break open the door, she took down a rifle that was laying in the rack and fired among them, with what effect she never knew. The Indians then went to the kitchen, where they found three children, one white and two colored. They tomahawked these and left them for dead. The white child and one of the colored recovered. They then went to the cabin of old Mrs. Sally Livingston, close by, and tomahawked her. She lived four days. After taking what provisions and household articles they wanted, they fired the house which Mrs. Elizabeth Livingston occupied, when she was forced to come out and surrender. Before doing so however, she gave her infant to her little daughter, who escaped with it to the house of Mr. Russell, the nearest neighbor. This infant became the wife of Solomon Osborne, and furrnishes, as before said, this narrative. The captives with which the Indians started to their towns where Mrs. Elizabeth Livingston, wife of Peter, Mrs. Susan Livingston, wife of Henry, and who had been married only three weeks, two colored men and one colored woman.
The alarm was soon given, and a party of men lead by a man by the name of Head started in pursuit, while Hobbs and his squad, having heard that the Indians had gone towards Holston, made their way to the designated place of niecting at the base of Cumberland mountain. Hobbs and his men having reached their destination several hours in advance of the Indians and the party following up the trail, he divided them into two parties, in order to guard the two paths, one or the other of which he was satisfied the savages would travel, each company to be stationed in line and in ambush within convenient range of the path. Hobbs himself chose to be with those who guarded the path he thought the Indians would be most likely to take, and after disposing of them in line, concealed by the undergrowth, he instructed them not to fire abould the Indians come that way till he had given the signal, each man selecting his victim, so as not to waste the second bullet on the same object. They were not kept long in suspense, after being disposed, before the red-skins were seen silently and cautiously wending their way with their captives up a long spur in single file, Benge in the lead, as was his invariable custom. Hobbs knowing his habit, had himself taken the farthest position, so the Jndians should be opposite his line, Benge would be opposite him. Before Benge had advanced far enought to come within range of Hobb's rifle, one of the men, having become impatient, fired without waiting for the preconcerted signal. As no time was now to be lost, each white man selected his Indian and blazed away. At the crack of the rifles, and seeing that most of his followers had fallen or disappeared, Benge sprang off like a startled buck having captives and all behind. Opposite Hobb's position was an opening in the timber, where the trunk of a large tree had fallen across the path, and he knew that his only chance to bring Benge to a halt as he afterwards expressed it, was to wing him as he passed around the root of the tree into the narrow opening. He had but a moment to reflect, and as Benge at full speed darkened the opening, Hobbs drew a bead and fired, when Benge sprang into the air with a yell, and fell without a struggle or a groan.
That was the last of Benge, the half-breed Shawnee warrior, and the last Indian predatory incursion to the Holston settlements. Mr. Hobbs lived many years, became a pious and useful minister of the Methodist Church and the Legislature, some years after, as a testimonial of its appreciation of his gallantry, voted him a handsome and costly silver-mounted rifle.

- Wedding: June 2012
My fiance surprised me with a plane ticket to New York City. I arrived and went to straight to meet my best friends, who took me to a Indian couture bridal show complete with champagne and a personal intro with the designer! After the meeting, we headed to Brooklyn Bowl for some drinks and bowling, and who shows up but the love of my life! I didn't know when he was going to arrive, so he totally swept me off my feet. The next morning, he told me to get dressed and ready for 'The Greatest Weekend of our Lives'. We pulled up to the Library Hotel, and checked into our room. The hotel was so old fashioned and classic New York; I loved it. He said he had theater tickets for that afternoon, so I got dressed up and we walked down to Broadway. He had arranged for front row seats to The Phantom of the Opera! I was in Heaven. I've been wanting to see Phantom of the Opera since we studied the music in high school. The show was incredible; I was in tears for most of it. Before dinner, he said he wanted to drop by The Met for a special exhibit. When we walked in, he suggested getting a drink at the Balcony Bar, overlooking the indoor courtyard. The band was playing and the museum looked beautiful. After the waitress poured our champagne (I didn't know this, but he had arranged for us to get the corner table), he pulled out a handwritten note and asked me to read it. It said that the beginning of our lives started that day, for without me there was no beginning. It was simple and sweet, and when I looked up, he was on one knee! Suddenly, out of nowhere, a photographer showed up! He had been taking candid pictures of the proposal the entire evening! I had no words – I was giddy and elated and everything felt like a fairy tale. After an impromptu photo shoot, he whisked me to dinner at Le Colonial, a French-Vietnamese fusion restaurant. The next morning, he planned a surprise brunch with my best friends and flew my sister down from Boston! It was such an incredible weekend – truly one of the greatest of my life!

Survey Says Banks Plan to Expand in Mobile, but Remain Split on NFC
Fiserv announced the results of a survey of the mobile banking and payment plans of top-tier financial institutions.
The in-depth survey, conducted by Forrester Consulting on behalf of Fiserv in September 2011, evaluated the plans of 10 banks and credit unions that in total hold more than one-third of all U.S. deposit accounts. The results revealed that these financial institutions are moving beyond the basics to deliver increasingly sophisticated mobile capabilities. Transactional services such as remote deposit capture and mobile person-to-person payments will account for the bulk of mobile investment in 2012. However, despite a nearly unanimous commitment to expand overall mobile functionality, institutions remain split on plans to support mobile point-of-sale payments.
A white paper detailing the survey results can be downloaded from the Fiserv website.

Clive Barker Returns To Hellraiser
Writing a remake for The Weinsteins
The howling maw of the remake beast has turned its attention to Hellraiser – but, as with one or two of the recent re-imaginings, the company behind it is actually seeking the assistance of the original creator.
The Weinstein Company has been chatting with Hellraiser creator Clive Barker about writing and producing a new version of the first movie. "They're going to remake Hellraiser One with a lot more money and they've invited me to write it – the invitation came from Bob Weinstein – which I am going to do, on the basis that if I don't do it, it will be done in some way that I probably won't like! It's only that one that I really, really, really care about in terms of its remake value - and it'll be kind of fun to have the extra money to do the effects and all that cool stuff," he announced on his Revelations website. "So it puts me in the situation of writing both the beginning and the end of Pinhead at the same time – 'In my end is my beginning…' I'm not in the middle, as it were, I'm leaving out his middle age, I'm just dealing with his beginning and his end. I'm excited about it - actually it'll be kinda cool to revisit it once and see if there are things we can do to it which will make it significantly better."
Let's hope he's right – the original Hellraiser, which introduced the world to Pinhead and his fellow Cenobites – was pleasingly nasty thanks to Barker directing and writing. This time out he's handing the director's chair to someone else.

Stunning Large Antique All Beadwork Fireplace Screen Panel with Fringe-Turquoise Floral with Side Tassel
This Victorian era fireplace screen is absolutely gorgeous & quite heavy as well! The entire piece is done in glass beads, and the colors and floral design are truly spectacular. As you can see, the glass beads are done in shades of turquoise, deep royal blue, light/dark gray, black brown, white, lavender & a bit of dark green. The 3 ½"-4" long beaded fringe is done in some of the same colors. The right side features braided cording which needs to be stitched down; there are two pieces of cording with two tassels hanging down from this. Areas of the cording have age relate fraying, but it's still strong. The tassels have some beadwork remaining, but the majority is missing, so it's mostly silky brown thread strands. The same applies to the beaded fringe; the brown fringe is actually the silky brown thread strands which once held glass beads. Since it's rather even-looking, it actually appears to have been made that way, but of course, it wasn't. There is cording surrounding the entire piece, which has faded over time.
There is cardboard in between the beadwork & the silk backing. The silk is torn and frayed and needs to be replace. The cardboard is creased in areas, so that too needs to be replaced or taken out entirely (which is what I'd personally do). The cardboard has some writing on it, which I can't entirely see (see pic). Please note, the cardboard is creased entirely on one side (see pic of back-the silk is creased in this area), so when it's shipped, this portion will turn upwards on the box. I don't want you to think this was done during shipping.
I don't see any missing beads on the center portion; if there are any, they don't stand out. There is a small area on the left side (see pic #7), where a few beads are missing above the cord; this is very minor. Some of the beaded fringe is fragile, so some may fall off when this is shipped. When I purchased this piece many years ago, I was given beads that had already fallen off, so those will be included. I would consider this fireplace screen to be in wonderful condition, especially for being over 100 years old.
The approximate dimensions are: 22 ¼" long from the top to the bottom of the fringe in the center; it is approx. 16" wide at the widest point.
This is an absolutely stunning antique fireplace screen, done in glorious colors with a beautiful floral design. You will love it.

"Very good, added a little more spice. Used one top layer of potatoes."
"was a bust n my house. it had no flavor."
"I love it! Thank you... ??"
"When I was growing up my mom would make this with leftovers. She would make extra potatoes, vegetables during the week & double her usual meat loaf recipe. She would layer all the leftovers with some of her homemade beef gravy & it was the best! Adding the mushrooms & parm cheese sounds good, must give it a try."

Confronting Government Lies
Program #ZINH030. Recorded in Boston, MA on June 28, 2003.Humpty Dumpty, that great social philosopher, told Alice in a scornful tone, "When I use a word it means just what I choose it to mean-neither more nor less." Alice replied, "The question is whether you can make words mean so many different things." To which Humpty Dumpty responded, "The question is to be master-that's all." To cover their rears and to promote their agendas, leaders of governments lie. JFK, LBJ, Nixon, Reagan, Clinton. Dubya continues the tradition. To persuade the American people into believing that Iraq was an imminent threat to their security Bush and his cohorts disseminated a series of lies. The embedded corporate media were only too willing to go along.

Guest: Dr. David Bersoff; Host: Christopher Springmann
Christopher Springmann: You've seen the TV ad. People sitting on a blue couch in the middle of Times Square clutching a box of Kleenex letting it out. It's all about Life, Love and Health.
Dr. David Bersoff: People try to be coy but you give them just a little bit of encouragement and they'll tell you some incredible stories. It's just amazing how compelling a couch can be.
CS: Trust Dr. David Bersoff of Yankelovich who researched the Let It Out study for Kleenex.
DB: While over 80% of people said that letting it out is healthy both physically and mentally, only 15% say that they actually let out their emotions often.
CS: So is it a control issue?
DB: Oh, absolutely. Our respondents said that after they let it out they felt better. I think Americans have this belief that you can suppress your negative emotions only. If you're suppressing your anger and your sadness then you're probably also suppressing your joy and happiness and pleasure. Emotionality is a major part of who we are as people and if you're in some way alienated from your emotions then you're uncomfortable with a very large and fundamental aspect of yourself. I think Americans are just so thirsty for the opportunity that they become oblivious to the surroundings and really just focus on this good listener giving them the opportunity to talk about things that are meaningful to them.
CS: Learn more at Letitout.com. I'm Christopher Springmann and it's all about Life, Love and Health.

Boise State's blueprint
Many college football programs like Tulsa are trying to follow the "Boise blueprint."
The blueprint is not the famed blue turf that Boise State tramples on during home games. Rather, it's the model of success this Idaho university has built over the past 15 years.
There are numerous reasons why Boise State is the envy of many, including the majority of schools in conferences that don't receive an automatic invitation to the Bowl Championship Series every year.
• Boise State has the nation's highest winning percentage (147-32, .821) over the past 15 years;
• The football team is 69-2 at cozy Bronco Stadium (capacity: 33,500) since 2000;
• The Broncos have scored more points (averaging 41.2 ppg) than anyone since the turn of the century.
Tulsa plays at No. 4 Boise State on Saturday night. Coach Bill Blankenship
heaped praise on the Boise program earlier this week, saying the Mountain West Conference school has things "we are trying to mimic."
Is it a sign of respect when schools say that?
"Sure," said Boise State coach Chris Petersen, who has led the Broncos to 63 wins in the past 68 games. "I think we are one of those programs that gives others hope. Some may say if Boise can do it, we can do it too."
One night in Arizona
Area fans may have known little about Boise State when it played Oklahoma on New Year's Day 2007 in the Fiesta Bowl.
By Jan. 2, everyone in the state and across the country realized how good this program really was.
The Broncos grabbed headlines by stunning OU, nabbing a 43-42 overtime victory in the Arizona desert.
"It really cemented the idea that the little brother could compete instead of the prior arguments about those type of games happening," said Aaron Taylor, a CBS College Sports studio and game analyst. "When you see it up close and personal, it takes the 'what-if' out of it. Now you know it can happen."
That was Petersen's first year as Boise State's coach. Do Broncos fans still talk about the OU victory?
"Not that much," Petersen said. "I don't hear much about it."
That's because Boise State has had a number of other big triumphs. The Broncos are 7-3 against Top 25 competition since that victory and have won six of their last seven meetings against ranked opponents.
Total commitment
Tulsa, like Boise State, is a "non-AQ" school. Both play in non-automatic qualifying conferences in the Bowl Championship series.
While Boise State has become nationally known, TU is still trying to make a name for itself.
What were some of the factors that have played into Boise State not only building consistency, but maintaining it?
"There's not just one thing, that's for sure," Petersen said. "It's nothing in general, but everything in particular. That's what we like to say around here. Everything matters."
Petersen said the program's players and coaches have bought in to the program. It's getting the right players and winning games on a big stage. There's luck involved, he added.
"Everything has all added up for us to work toward it," Petersen said.
The equation to getting to a BCS bowl for a non-AQ is simple, June Jones said. The SMU coach guided Hawaii to the Sugar Bowl following the 2007 regular season.
"You have to be undefeated to get to a BCS bowl, and it's been proved it can be done," Jones said. "We always talked about it, and we talk about it here. That's the only way SMU, Tulsa or any of those other schools can get to a BCS bowl."
Maintaining success, however, isn't easy. After Jones left Hawaii, the Warriors have played in two bowl games on their home field, losing both decisively.
Meanwhile, Boise State continues to shine.
"Boise State has had a lot of people get involved," said Mountain West Conference commissioner Craig Thompson, whose league features Boise State as its newest member. "This is not a 'just-happened' deal. It has happened over the past 10-12 years with a lot of consistency."
Why not Tulsa?
Tulsa athletic director Bubba Cunningham would love for his football program to earn the type of respect thrust upon Boise State.
How can TU reach those heights?
"You do that by continuing to reinvest in the product that you have," Cunningham said. "We have an outstanding coaching staff in place. We have invested in facilities and need to continue to grow the fan base."
Blankenship pointed to the often sold-out Bronco Stadium. He knows that wins fill the seats, both in Boise and Tulsa.
"People get concerned about the size of your stadium," Blankenship said. "I looked up Boise State and it's 33,000. Is that a limiting factor? Apparently not. It matters what we do in that stadium and who comes to watch it."
Cunningham said Boise State – like fellow non-AQ school TCU – has been driven by not only wins, but sustaining success over a long period of time.
Cunningham has watched the Tulsa program evolve since becoming AD in November 2005. Where does he want it to be six years from now?
"I'd love to see the program sold out and doing what we've done the past five years competitively," Cunningham said. "If we can average nine, 10, 11 wins, it would be 10 consecutive years. I think then you get the national respect and visibility.
"You're not a bad loss, but a good win. We're going to continue to invest in the program and strive for 10-win seasons."
Games like Boise State can help Tulsa's exposure.
"We always try to find good games, and Boise is a great national brand right now," Cunningham said. "We're aspiring to be a national brand, and it's a good association for us."
Does Petersen think a school like Tulsa can make that type of leap?
"Absolutely. It's not one thing or two things or three things," the Boise State coach said. "You need support by everyone involved. You have to get the right people in the right places and have some luck along the way.
"If you can do that, there's no reason anyone can't do it."
Boise State's big wins
Boise State has gone 147-32 in games dating back to 1997, which is the highest winning percentage (.822) in the country during the past 15 seasons. The Broncos also have won 28 of their last 29 games.
A look back at five of their biggest victories:
Boise State 35, Fresno State 30 (Oct. 19, 2001): The Broncos capture their first win over a ranked and Top 10 opponent on the road.
Boise State 43, Oklahoma 42, OT (Jan. 1, 2007): The Fiesta Bowl victory over the No. 7 Sooners will not be forgotten by Bronco fans or OU faithful.
Boise State 37, Oregon 32 (Sept. 20, 2008): Boise State became road warriors and defeated the Ducks, who finished the season ranked in the top 10.
Boise State 17, TCU 10 (Jan. 4, 2010): The No. 6 Broncos beat fourth-ranked TCU in a Fiesta Bowl battle of unbeatens, capping a 14-0 season.
Boise State 33, Virginia Tech 30 (Sept. 6, 2010): Kellen Moore's touchdown pass with 69 seconds left secured victory over the No. 10 Hokies at the "neutral" site of Landover, Md.
Four musts that non-AQ schools must do to succeed like Boise State
Commitment from above: Boise State's administration has played a key role in the football program's success.
"We are all in the same boat where budgets are so stinkin' tight and it's hard to get anything done. But our administration has been awesome of having vision … they get it. They know the situation we're up against. … It's always about what's the next thing we can afford and how do we get it done." – Boise State coach Chris Petersen.
Maintain consistency: Boise State has had three head coaches over the past 14 years, with current coach Chris Petersen leading the program for the past six seasons and serving as offensive coordinator for five years.
"People were concerned when Dirk Koetter left and Dan Hawkins came in and built it more. Then Hawk left and Chris Petersen has been the best of them. That's consistency in a coaching staff." – Mountain West Conference commissioner Craig Thompson
Recruiting: The Broncos have been attracting under-the-radar prospects as well as high-caliber athletes, especially lately when recruits are looking to play for an elite program.
"The coaches do great with their projections and get some guys that the big schools overlook." – SMU coach June Jones said.
Just win: Boise State has won six of its past seven games against Top 25 competition. It also has won 28 of its last 29 contests.
"They will play anybody, anywhere. If you give them time to prepare, they can ruin your afternoon." – CBS Sports Network analyst Aaron Taylor.

Boise State sends letter to boosters reminding them of NCAA rules
Here is the full text of the letter:
The start of the 2011 fall sports season brings with it a great deal of excitement and anticipation. This time of year also serves as an appropriate time to remind supporters for Boise State athletics of the collective effort required to ensure that we are compliant with NCAA and Mountain West Conference rules and regulations. As a supporter of Boise State, you are a "representative of the university's athletic interests," or more commonly known as a "booster," and are thereby bound by the same NCAA rules and regulations as the athletic program. It is essential, therefore, that you recognize the role that you play in maintaining the integrity of our program.
Who is a Booster?
A "booster" is a representative of Boise State's athletic interests. You become a booster if: (1) You have ever been a member of any organization promoting Boise State Athletics; (2) Made any type of donation to the Bronco Athletic Association, Boise State Athletics or any other Boise State booster organization; (3) Assisted in evaluating or recruiting prospective student-athletes; (4) Assisted in providing benefits to enrolled student-athletes or their families; or (5) Promoted Boise State Athletics in any other manner. NCAA Bylaw 13.02.12.1 mandates that when you become a booster, you retain that identity for life and are bound by NCAA rules. Boise State is responsible for your actions.

Petersen's creative drills test Broncos' returners
There's only one job requirement that really matters if you want to return punts for Boise State football coach Chris Petersen.
Catch the ball.
And if you want him to trust you enough to get into the game, you have to survive a battery of drills that look silly from a distance but build the consistency and confidence a punt returner needs.
Last month, Petersen topped all previous drills when he showed up for practice with a bucket full of water, two giant squirt guns and a crew of two coaches' sons to refill them.
As the returners waited for the ball, Petersen squirted them in the face.
Not surprisingly, most of the balls hit the ground.
"That's just a distraction drill to irritate them and let me have some fun," said Petersen, whose team faces Tulsa on Saturday at Bronco Stadium.
But veteran returners like Chris Potter and Mitch Burroughs, the junior wide receivers who share the starting job, make Petersen's other drills look easy.
Sometimes, they catch the punt with a football or softball in each hand. Other times, they lie flat on the ground, wait for the sound of the punt, pop up, find the ball and catch it.
"We're used to it now," Potter said, "but it's funny when some of the younger guys get out there. They're like, 'I'm supposed to do what?' "
Petersen coaches the punt returners and kickoff returners, a rare chance for him to enjoy the hands-on coaching he left behind when he was promoted from offensive coordinator in 2006.
Kickoff returners, he says, need little instruction.
Catching punts is a much more technique-driven endeavor.
"One of the things with returners is how much they want to be a returner," Petersen said. "I don't select them. What I really do is get rid of them. Everyone thinks they want to be a returner."
Winning Petersen's confidence isn't easy.
Potter, who is tied for 15th in the nation with a 13.0-yard average, has figured out one of the secrets.
"The biggest thing that Coach Pete always wants with us is security of the ball," he said. "That's my biggest goal. As much as I'd like to say I want a big return every time, I just want to get the ball back to the offense."
His favorite drill?
"It's definitely not the squirt gun," Potter said. "When we have to hold two footballs in our hands and we have to catch the third one, to me that's the most fun because if you don't catch it right it will hit you in the face."
Petersen long has pushed the envelope with drills. As an assistant at Oregon in the late 1990s, he decided to put eye patches on his wide receivers to limit their field of vision. An eye doctor told him he was going to get somebody hurt.
His punt-return drills haven't crossed that line yet. Petersen says there's "a method to the madness" — and his players agree.
"Everything that we do, that he makes us do, serves a purpose," said Burroughs, who has a 13.6-yard career average. "It might be fun and kind of weird at the same time, but you understand why he's doing it. I like it."
Said Potter: "You go into the game and you have that comfort out there knowing that you've just got to catch the ball clean. You have both your hands. There's no squirt gun coming at you."
The Broncos haven't attempted a field goal this season — and that fact has nothing to do with the struggles they've had making PATs. Boise State has entered the red zone — inside the opponent's 20-yard line — nine times in the first two games. The Broncos have scored touchdowns all nine times.
Statistically they're credited with one failed red-zone drive, but that was when they took over on the Georgia 3-yard line and took a knee at the end of the game.
Petersen placed a heavy emphasis on the red zone during fall camp and it seems to be paying off — on both sides of the ball. The defense forced two red-zone turnovers last week at Toledo.
"There's probably nothing more important on either side of the ball than turnovers in the red zone," Petersen said. "… The guys have done a great job responding."
Some of the Broncos' best play this season has come on the special teams units, where they are dominating the hidden yardage.
In fact, Tulsa coach Bill Blankenship said the Broncos might have the best special teams in the country.
"You turn the film on, I wouldn't want to play us in the kicking game," Boise State special teams coach Jeff Choate said. "There's a lot of dudes that are playing really fast and hard out there. We're very close to being extremely dangerous in the kickoff-return game and if they punt us the ball we're going to do something with it."
Former Boise State defensive coordinator and Utah State head coach Brent Guy is the defensive coordinator at Tulsa. Guy was the Broncos' coordinator from 1998 to 2000, the Arizona State coordinator from 2001 to 2004 and the Utah State coach from 2005 to 2008.
The Broncos' offense is based on the scheme installed by Dirk Koetter in 1998, so Guy is quite familiar with it.
"They've always played us tough," said Huff, who was a graduate assistant on Koetter's Arizona State staff. "I know coach Guy's mentality and he's a tough guy. He demands a lot out of his players. We're going to get their best shot."
Boise State senior defensive tackle Chase Baker was credited with a block on Toledo's missed PAT after video review.
Boise State coaches will wear patches to support the Coach to Cure MD effort Saturday. The program raises money and awareness for Duchenne Muscular Dsytrophy research.
Chadd Cripe is in his 10th season covering Boise State football for the Idaho Statesman. He also is a voter in The AP Top 25. Contact him at ccripe@idaho statesman.com or 377-6398.

A Woman Named Anne
Henry Cecil
Anne, beautiful and intelligent, stands in the dock accused of adultery. Utterly humiliated by hearing the evidence against her, she is determined to put the record straight . But the prosecution does not play the game she had been expecting and she is forced to change her approach. This duel between a brilliant barrister and a very determined and astute young woman has an unexpected twist which keeps you guessing right to the end.
Much excellent invention and dialogue; Mr Cecil is a welcome original.
Author biography:Henry Cecil Henry Cecil, known to many as His Honour Judge H.C. Leon, MC, was a High Court judge as well as a famous author.
He wrote during the three-week-long family holidays which were usually spent in comfortable hotels in Britain. He would sit in a deck chair in a sunny garden, exercise book on lap and pen in hand, writing from 10 am to 1pm, then again from 2.30 to 4 pm each day.
His writing career is attributed to his Second World War experiences. Sailing around the Cape on a 'dry' troop ship on the way to Cairo, the colonel asked his adjutant (Cecil) to tell stories to keep the officers' minds off alcohol. The stories were so popular that they became a regular feature, and formed the basis of his first collection, 'Full Circle', published in 1948. Thereafter, the legal year, his impressions at court, or at other official functions, as well as dinners at the Savoy Grill or at his club, the Garrick, all provided material for his considerable brain power.
Many of his stories were made into films or plays - notably 'Brothers-in-Law' and 'Alibi for a Judge'. These and other books have also provided a stimulus for those wishing to take up law as a career. They are a delight for those who look for authenticity in the most aptly described British characters.
Cecil died in May 1976, still at the height of his mental powers.

The Traditional Irish ring is believed to have originated during the 17th century in the irish fishin village of Claddagh. The hands represent friendship, the heart is for love, and the crowin is for loyalty.; measures approximately 13mm W x 18mm across the top.

I have bookmarked this site for future use. Thanks Sarraf.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- There was a point when the drama associated with Stryker's (SYK) legal battles and products recalls made me question if the stock was worth the trouble.
In an effort to start fresh, the company is under new leadership. While a new vision can certainly help change the culture of the company, the new regime -- as competent as they may be -- not only must continue to do battle with the likes of Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) and Medtronic (MDT), but also adjust to law changes imposed by the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) that could impact performance. On top of all of that, the stock was expensive.
Following the company's third-quarter earnings report, during which Stryker posted strong 7% year-over-year growth (constant currency), it seems that Stryker's stock prices is the only thing that has not changed, given that shares are at their 52-week highs. In impressive fashion, management has done just enough to put most of the company's concerns to rest.
With the Reconstructive business posting better than 9% year-over-year growth, it was clear that despite the concerns related to product recalls and possible pricing pressure, Stryker had no intention on ceding its market lead to Johnson & Johnson. Leading the way was Stryker's strong 20% year-over-year growth in Trauma and Extremities.
It wasn't all great news, though. While it's encouraging that Stryker's hip and knee businesses are growing in mid single-digits, I can't see much differentiation at this point between Stryker's performance and those of Johnson & Johnson and Abbott Labs (ABT). What's more, ahead of the report, it was evident that Stryker's MedSurg business, which includes instruments, endoscopy and medical devices, had become stagnant.
