TAMPA — On the night of Feb. 12, 2010, Andre Watkins became the target of a manhunt after deputies said he sprayed a north Tampa neighborhood with bullets in a rampage that left two men wounded and a young woman dead.
In the days after his capture, the residents of the Plantation subdivision of Carrollwood filled news accounts with stories of the neighbor they knew as "the crazy man," who paced his front yard with fury, stared daggers, yelled obscenities and, at times, brandished a gun.
Prosecutors released new documents Friday that offer clues into what may have been on Watkins' mind the night of the shooting, including a police report Watkins made nine days before the incident, in which he called himself a victim.
He said a man named Fred Watson, with whom he'd had an ongoing feud, walked up to him at a gas station and showed him a gun, saying, "Mess with me tonight and I'll put a cap in you."
Watkins called deputies repeatedly about the status of that report, speaking to them just hours before the shooting.
A detective tells of that last conversation in a memo. "I told him he had handled everything the right way to this point and he needed to continue to do so," Detective Wayne Bunton said.
Watkins' side of the conversation hasn't yet been made public. It was stricken from the reports released Friday, and won't likely be disclosed before trial. But he said something to Bunton that prompted the detective to give this response: "I told him then he shouldn't do anything that would make us shoot him."
• • •
Geovanni Suarez was driving his pickup truck around the subdivision that Friday about 6:30 p.m. when Watkins nearly sideswiped him, he told detectives. Suarez, like many other neighbors, had had previous run-ins with "the crazy man."
Three weeks earlier, Watkins had held up two bags of white powder, demanding to know the address of a person he said had sold it to him. He later heard Watkins had told people he wanted to kill the person who had sold him "fake cocaine."
On this Friday night, Watkins wore a fake mustache, Suarez told detectives. Watkins got into Suarez's truck and said, "Geo, I'm gonna need for you to take me somewhere."
Watkins held a gun.
Suarez started driving.
They wound up outside 10536 Chadbourne Drive, where two men and a young woman were in a car getting ready to go to McDonald's.
Suarez said Watkins got out of the truck, approached the car and started shooting. The two men ran and survived, but 19-year-old Alyssa Aracich died in the back seat. By all accounts, the bullet wasn't meant for her.
Watkins returned to the car, Suarez told detectives. Watkins wanted a ride back to his car. He also told Suarez this:
"You're lucky to be alive."
• • •
Two others were shot that night. Ariel Love, 27, on Brightside Drive opened the door. It was a man he didn't recognize.
That man shot him.
In a 911 call, a woman pleads with him to stay awake. She asks, "Do you know who shot you?"
Before lapsing into moans, a dazed voice in the background answered "no."
But his father knew Watkins.
Fred Watson was the alleged suspect in that report Watkins had filed that month. Watson told investigators he had been confronted at gunpoint by Watkins at least three times in the past few years. Watson said he did yard work for Watkins' mother.
"Everybody can tell you a story about this guy with these guns," Watson said, "shooting them off in the air, you know what I mean? He pulled a gun on a child. Little boy is walking his dog, and the dog pooped on his mother's grass and he pulled a gun on babies."
Deputies said Watkins then drove to a BP gas station at 5919 W Linebaugh Ave.
He opened the door for shopper Jeffrey Twiner, who told detectives what he witnessed.
"He actually looked really calm," Twiner said. "He didn't look like anything was wrong with him when I first walked up."
Twiner walked to the back of the convenience store while, he said, Watkins approached the store clerk, 57-year-old Akbar Alwani. "He started yelling at the clerk," Twiner said. "He pulled out an automatic pistol from his right jacket pocket, pointed it at the man and shot once."
Twiner hit the ground and never looked up. He heard the door's buzzer sound, which indicated the shooter had left.
• • •
Deputies stood on the corners of the Plantation subdivision clutching guns. They blocked streets and questioned witnesses, searching for the gunman. A chopper hovered.
Sheriff David Gee, in a news conference, told the public, "If we don't get our hands on him, there could be more violence tonight."
Meanwhile, Watkins' cell phone was giving off signals, leaving a trail that would eventually lead them after midnight to a gas station in Plant City.
Ritesh Shah attended to the man from behind the counter. Shah told detectives Watkins said he needed $5 worth of gas and paid for it all with quarters. Shah described Watkins' mood as "jolly." Watkins returned to his car, where deputies converged on him.
He awaits trial on charges including first-degree murder, kidnapping, attempted murder and armed burglary.
He faces the death penalty.

Jennings Lodge is a census-designated place and unincorporated community in Clackamas County, Oregon, United States, between Milwaukie, and Gladstone. For statistical purposes, the United States Census Bureau has defined Jennings Lodge as a census-designated place (CDP). The census definition of the area may not precisely correspond to local understanding of the area with the same name. As of the United States Census, 2010, it had a total population of 7,315.
Even though Jennings Lodge is not part of Oregon City; the local elementary school (along with nearby Candy Lane Elementary) forms an exclave of the Oregon City School District. This state of affairs has been controversial over the years.

text: The Engineer wiki last edited by Exile-616 on 05/23/14 11:35PM View full history Current EventsSince the introduction into the DC Universe in the new 52, the Engineer has been first a member and then the leader of Stormwatch.OriginAngela SpicaThe character known as the engineer is the second to bear the name. The first was a member of the Changers. This was a group of super powered beings led by the High, whose goal was to change the world into a paradise without the need of Authority. The Engineer was to use his abilities was to use his nanotechnology to help terraform the world. The plan eventually failed and the Engineer was one of the first people killed with Henry Bendix dropped a viral bomb on the group's base. During the process of dying he sent all of his work to Angela Spica.Angela was born in Queens, the youngest child out of seven children. She came from a working class family. She was obsessed with superheroes from a young age and it also soon became clear that she had a genius level intellect, capable of building circuit boards from a young age. She graduated university at the top of her class yet was surprised to find one of her associates in the anti-hero group known as the Changers. When he was killed he transferred all of his work on nano technology to Angie's home computer. Using this knowledge she distilled enough nano-technological robots into a liquid machine form and injected herself with it, effectively replacing her blood. Soon after she joined the Authority and soon became close friends with Jenny Sparks.CreationEngineer was created by Warren Ellis and Tom Raney. Her first appearance was in Stormwatch #48 in 1997. Her first appearance at DC Comics was in Stormwatch #1 in 2011.Character EvolutionWildstorm UniverseEngineer (Wildstorm)As with many technology based character, Angela has struggled at times to find the right balance between the machines which she can create and the real people she must interact with. She has grown in her character though, and has proved strong enough a personality to lead Stormwatch.Post-Flashpoint: Earth-0Engineer (Earth-0)Within the rebooted DC Universe, many of the former Wildstorm properties still exist together, and specifically on Stormwatch. She has had to assume more of a leadership position, especially after Adam-One was shown to be increasingly unstable. She was first deployed to the Moon to aid Tanner, but was forced to flee after the caverns they were inside of started to crumble. This was as a result of the actions of the Scourge of Worlds. She is currently the leader of Stormwatch.Major Story ArcsWildstorm UniverseThe AuthorityShe became friends with Jenny Sparks after she used time travel and nano-surgery to save her from a gunshot wound in the year 1919. This was made possible by the carrier door mechanism. It was necessary to save jenny to avoid an Extinction Level Paradox which would destroy the world. Another case of time travel took her to her past. In high school she had been sexually assaulted by the school doctor, but this was revealed to be a plant by the present day Doctor so that she would be unable to combat him effectively.During the series 'Transfer of Power', Angela's liquid metal blood was taken from her and replaced with that of a HIV positive heroin addict, her memory was altered and she was given a low paid job at a shopping market, an abusive husband and six children. This storyline was brought to a close when Swift freed her and her 'copy' was killed by Apollo, she quickly transferred her Liquid Metal blood back to herself and launched an assault on the rest of the team 'copies'.Post-Flashpoint: Earth 0Eye of the StormShe assists the team as they are deployed to Earth to fight against a monster that has been thrown to Earth by the Scourge. She soon takes over as de facto leader of the team as they must deal with a reawakened ancient city. Afterwards they are forced into a chaotic situation when their headquarters, the Eye of the Storm rebels against its users with its Daemonite intelligence.Powers and AbilitiesNanotechnologyThe nanotechnology used by both Engineers allows them to create anything they want by reordering matter around themselves. Angela uses this ability primarily to create weapons in combat, but also to create duplicates of herself, create energy force fields and electrical storms, spread viruses (both biological and technological), grow organs, time travel and many other feats which seem to be bound only by her imagination and ingenuity. Her liquid metal skin also allows her to absorb a great deal of damage. The metal can also allow her to fly and can create replacement lungs for her to survive in hostile environments. It also holds the entire information reserves of the internet for her to access.Since her incorporation into the DC universe, she hasn't yet exhibited the full breadth of her previous abilities, but she has been shown to be able to power up Jack Hawksmoor's synapses as well as interfacing directly with the Eye of the Storm, which in some senses makes it an extension of herself.Other VersionsOther Media

20 year-old Surkin comes from Southern France and lives in Paris. He dropped out of art school two years ago and never looked back.
A former four-to-the-floor hater (rap was all he cared for until 2003), Surkin got into dance music through Detroit ghettotech and—thanks God for P2P—started to dig deeper into club music history, focusing on Miami Bass, Chicago ghetto-(and non) house music. Add a thick layer of glammed-up filtered house courtesy of French dons Daft Punk and local originators Jess & Crabbe and you've got the full Surkin mille-feuilles.
In May 2006, Parisian label Institubes released not one but two Surkin records at once: GHETTO OBSESSION EP and RADIO FIREWORKS. The response was tremendous. Played and playlisted by everybody, from the Ed Banger/Erol Alkan cabal to Boys Noize and Tiga, those tracks even managed to break the indie dance glass ceiling by smashing main rooms all over. Radio Fireworks emerged as a genuine club hit, topping both Justice's AND Mylo's "Best tracks of 2006" lists.
Surkin went on to play all over the place, from small clubs and warehouses to huge festivals (Fuji Rock, Good Vibrations, Primavera,
Coachella...) and toured Australia, North America, England and Japan several times. His fast-paced, cut-up mixing of old and new electro and house bangers has become a style, a template.
Remix offers came in droves, from Boys Noize, DJ Mehdi, Justine Electra, Klaxons, Paul Johnson, Para One, Chromeo, Foals, VHS or Beta, Justice... After a Japan-only mini-album—ACTION REPLAY—, Institubes dropped FIREWORKS REFIRED, featuring refixes by our own Tacteel, Aussie heavy-hitters Riot In Belgium and ghetto house legend DJ Slugo.
Surkin's third EP, NEXT OF KIN, featured a huge fuck-the-zeitgeist hit, White Knight Two, that just made Mixmag's top 100 tracks list of 2008. (Note to all those trying to jump on the 90s bandwagon now:
without the love it's just gimmicks...) Now, White Knight Two and rave banger Kid Gloves are getting the remix treatment, courtesy of Baltimore superstar DJ Blaqstarr, excellent Canadian smoothies Chro¬meo, high-powered boy Bobmo and big room royalty Laidback Luke.
Mixhell are an electro DJ/remix duo from Brazil featuring longtime Sepultura drummer Igor Cavalera and his wife, Laima Leyton. Born on September 4, 1970, in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, Cavalera is the younger brother of vocalist/guitarist Max Cavalera, with whom he founded influential thrash metal band Sepultura in 1984. After years of success and acclaim in the metal underground, including such classic albums as Arise (1991) and Chaos A.D. (1993), Max left Sepultura in
1996 (subsequently founding the popular metal band Soulfly) and Igor eventually left in 2006. Shortly after leaving Sepultura, Cavalera founded Mixhell with Leyton and they began performing live DJ sets as Mixhell. They also specialized in remix work, releasing much of it via the Internet. One of their most circulated releases was a January 2008 podcast on /XLR8R.com that kicks off with a couple electro edits of Iron Maiden.

My name is Rebecca Rafferty, and my mother has ruined my life. Again.
I didn't mind her writing boring books for grown-ups. But now she's written one about an awful girl my age and everyone thinks its me!
Including the boy who delivers our newspapers, aka Paperboy, aka the most gorgeous boy in the whole world. Oh, the shame!
And if that wasn't awful enough, the biggest pain in my class wants to use my 'fame' to get herself on the reality show 'My Big Birthday Bash'.
I've just got to show everyone the REAL Rebecca. But How?
Rebecca and her friends form a band, and write a song that starts 'my mother wrote a book...'! Will their first gig, in the Battle of the Bands, go well? And more importantly, what will Paperboy think?
Rebecca and her friends form a band, and write a song that starts 'my mother wrote a book...'! Will their first gig, in the Battle of the Bands, go well? And more importantly, what will Paperboy think?
The Real Rebecca ~ a tall tales & short stories review
First of all - Hurrah! - the cover isn't pink! This is my second review today for books for girls, my first was for Lousie Rennison's Withering Tights and this book, The Real Rebecca, certainly sits in the same camp. A funny first-person narrative with witty one-liners and the usual problems facing an awkward teenage girl - boys, hair, boys (did I say that already?) and really annoying families.
The trouble is Rebecca has a couple of specific problems - she goes to an all-girls school so how does she get to meet boys? And her mother has written a book about two teenage girls and has told the world that Rebecca and her sister have been her inspiration. If parents weren't embarrassing enough this has got to top the league of 'how my parents embarrassed me' - it even makes Dad's bad dancing look normal.
The humorous storyline moves along at a cracking pace and we cringe along with Rebecca at the humiliation of everyone thinking she is the character in her mum's book. The characters come to life and the situations plausible yet mixed-up with plenty of craziness. And for anyone who's seen My Super Sweet 16, a certain party girl and her ideas for her party seem scarily likely! Rebecca's a spirited, yet slightly awkward teenager and it's fun spending time in her company. So just like the Battle of the Bands - be prepared to be entertained!

Rosie Stancer, a 43-year-old cousin of the Queen from London, and Fiona Thornewill, 37, from Nottinghamshire, are leaving Britain on Wednesday on the same flight.
But both insist they will not race as they tackle the freezing and windswept climate for 700 miles.
"In some small way it is almost reassuring to know there is another woman out there on her own," said Ms Stancer, who is a freelance writer.
Heavy sleds
"I know people want to make it into a race but the challenge for me is huge enough - it is dangerous to talk of a race," said Stancer.
Ms Thornewill, from Thurgarton, echoed her sentiments: "There is no racing involved whatsoever, I just take my hat off to her."
The recruitment consultant, who has been pulling tyres, cycling and lifting weights, said they had exchanged e-mails and were planning to meet before the challenge.
Ms Stancer admitted she was "startled" when she found out there was another woman undertaking the same challenge.
"I was thinking I had the whole of the Antarctic to myself but it is everyone's right to be there.
Both women will pull sledges weighing about 120kg - double or more than double their body weight.
Ms Stancer expects the £150,000 trip will take 65 days - Thornewill has allowed five days more for her £100,000 expedition.
Only one woman has ever previously succeeded in the walk - Norwegian Liv Arneson in 1994.
Snow diet
Ms Thornewill is hoping to meet her husband Mike - who is taking six novices on a shorter route - at the pole in mid-February.
Chocolate bars, nuts, six litres of water and dehydrated meals in the evening feature in their diets, with snow being used to reconstitute their main meal.
The pair leave Britain on Wednesday and fly to Punta Arenas in Chile.
Both women have completed the trip before - but never alone.
Ms Thornewill is also under no illusions about the expedition: "The ambient temperature will be -25 C but with the wind chill factor it will go down to -50 C.
All funds raised from Ms Stancer's challenge will go towards the Special Olympics, while Ms Thornewill hopes to raise a "six- figure sum" for the NSPCC and Macmillan Cancer Relief.

Journal Book of Samuel Kendall Gifford
3 Sept 1864-1903 — Springdale Utah
Journal Book
Samuel Kendall Gifford
Commencing September 3rd 1864
Containing a Short Genealogy of his forefathers for three
generations back and also a
A SHORT HISTORY OF His Father.
and an abridgement of a Journal as taken from old books.
My great grandfather Peleg Gifford was born in the township
and county of Barnstable Mass. His wife's name was Abigail
Tabor. The names of their sons were Abraham, Daniel, Noah,
Peleg, Levi, and Christopher. The names of their daughters were
Abigail, Mariah, and Mary.
My grandfather, Noah, the third son of Peleg, was born
at the birthplace of his father in the year 1757. His wife,
Mary, was the daughter of Judah and Mary Bowerman. She was born
in Falmouth Barnstable Co., Mass. The following are the names of
their sons and daughters: Judah born 178-, Maridah born 1787,
Levi born August 15, 1789, Jamar born 1791, Alpheus born August
28, 1793, Ichabob Bowerman born 1796, and Armella born 1798.
My, father, Alpheus, the 4th son of Noah ( although he
had no learning save just enough to read the Bible wich he did
not neglect ) became convinced that there was a God in Heaven and
at the age of eighteen he commenced preaching what he supposed
to be the Gospel of Salvation, not for money but for the
salvation of souls. He continued to preach in the Reformed
Methodist Church. April 27, 1817, he married Anna, daughter of
Azor and Lucy Nash. She was born in the township of Butternuts,
Ostego County, N.Y. Feb. 17, 1800. My father spent the rest of
his days in preaching until the spring of 1830 when he heard of
a set of people called mormons who were everywhere spoken evil
against and he, being a believer of the scriptures, and also
being convinced by the power of God that there was somthing
worth looking after, went and hunted them up, and found them to
be the people of God organized under the name of Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-Day Saints. He was baptized, ordained a Priest,
and returned home with five Books of Mormon's which he
distributed amongst his friends. He was then living in Tioga
County, Pennsylvania. Soon after that, he went to Kirtland where
the saints had planned a stake in Zion. His brother Levi
accompanied him, also Elial Strong, Elezar Miller, and Abraham
Brown who where all baptized there. He was then ordained an
Elder. They returned home rejoicing in the Gospel. He then
commenced preaching for the salvation of souls, believing The
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints to be true. The
gifts of the Gospel were made manifest amongst the saints in the
place, signs followed those that believed. The sick were healed,
devils were cast out, some prophesied, some spoke with new
tongues, and some interpretted ( which was of the two later
gifts made manifest in the Church. ) In fact the gifts were
enjoyed to a great extent. Father baptized Heber Chase Kimball
who became Counciler to President Brigham Young!
My father started for Jackson County sometime in June (1831??).
Mother had the promise of seeing all her children safe in Zion,
the names of which were as follows: Mary Elizabeth, born April
23, 1818 in the township of Butternuts, Ostego Co. N.Y., Ichabod
Bowerman, born Sept. 14, 1819 in the township of Covington,
Tioga County, Pennsylvania, Samuel Kendall, born Nov. 11, 1821
in the township of Milow, Yates Co. New York, William Pitts,
born August 14, 1823 in the township of Sullivan, Tioga County,
Pennsylvania, Perry Dill, born April 28, 1825 in the township of
Reading, Wayne Co. New York. Rhoda born April 28, 1827 in the
township of No. Nine, Canandougua County, New York, Rachel,
born Feb. 21, 1829 in the township of Hector, Stuben County, New
York. Her birth was previous to the coming forth of the Book of
Mormon. Father said he would call her Rachel, for before she
could say Father and Mother, there was going to be a great work
take place. Which prophecy was ***2*** fulfilled in the coming
forth of the Book of Mormon. She could not say Father and Mother
plain till after we were in Jackson County, Missouri.
We traveled one hundred miles by land, stopped at Olean Point,
where a boat was built in which my Father, his brother Judah,
Isaac Flumapel and Abraham Brown with their families floated
down the Alagana River. At many places we pried our boat over
gravel and sandbars till we got to Old Franklin where we stayed
about two weeks. Father made baskets all the way down the river
to procure something to eat and wear. Here his brother Judah
stopped, apostatized and joined the Methodists. The river having
raised till it was very high, we lashed our boat to a larger
raft by which means we went to Pittsburg where we stayed about
two weeks. There we found William Harris and wife and her
mother, wife of Peter Dustin, who was then presiding over the
Branch at the Batson Settlement in Jackson Co. Mo. I will here
mention that just before we started on our journey I had the
mumps and while at Warren we all took the measles and before we
got to Pittsburgh we all got the whooping cough which made our
journey quite unpleasant. Abraham Brown's child died of the
whooping cough at Brother Harris's.
We continued our journey to Maryette, Ohio where we stayed some
time. Father made baskets and my oldest brother and I picked up
gravel for the cidermakers. We went from there to Guyandot where
A. Brown stopped. We continued down the Ohio River till we came
to Cincinnatti where we met Elijah newman, who had been informed
by brother Lyman Leonard that an Elder by the name of Alpheus
Gifford would come on such a boat. Brother Newman followed the
boat five miles down the river till we landed. Brother leonard
had passed us while we were at Old Franklin. Brother Leonard
left five dollars at Cincinnatti for Father. May the Lord bless
him for so doing and reward him a hundred-fold. There was a
large branch of the Church in Cincinnatti. Brother Newman
followed our boat five miles to where we landed. Our boat was
towed back up river to Brother Newmans place, five miles up the
river. The place (town) was called Columbia. We stayed with
brother Newman through the winter, and was assisted by Brother
Elias and John Higbee with whom we jpurneyed to Independence,
Mo., where we landed in the spring of 1833. We soon moved a
short distance and stopped on the banks of a small stream called
the Roundgrove, which emptied into the Big Blue. The Big Blue
emptied into the Missouri River. While there my brothers, I.B.,
W.P. and H.D., my sister Rhoda and myself were baptized by
Soloman Hancock. I think it was in April. Mary, my oldest sister
was baptized while we were at Cincinnatti Ohio. We had now seen
the fulfillment of the promise made to Mother that she would see
her children all safe in Zion. Here my brother Moses was born on
the banks of the Roundgrove May 16, 1833 in a small one sided
cabin built by the side of a large oak log that formed the back
of our cabin.
Part 2: Continuation of memoirs of Samuel K. Gifford
The spirit of persecution soon became the order of the
times amongst those who were not of us, for they that were not
for us were against us. About mid-summer Father moved to the
Batson settlement where Peter Dustin presided. The spirit of
persecution continued to prevail until sometime in November when
the determined to drive the Saints or put them to death. Some of
the saints were shot down, some were beaten with clubs, guns,
etc., and some were tarred and feathered. In fact we must leave
or die. A mob gathered around the printing office in
Independence and I was told that one man got up on top of the
house and prayed that if he was not right, his hand might
wither. But as the Lord did not see fit to hear the prayers of
the wicked, they tore down the building and then destruction by
fire spread throughout the land until many of the saints had to
leave on foot. Only think, children, barefooted, crossing the
burnt praries with bleeding feet in the cold month of November.
The saints were driven enmass across the Missouri River
into Clay County. We camped on the banks of the Missouri River
on the night of the 13th of November 1833. There I beheld a
strange and beautiful scene. To all appearance, brilliant stars
or balls of fire falling like rain upon the earth and upon the
On the 19th, we crossed the river into Clay county where
we had a short rest from persecution, but not for long, for
those demons in human form led by Gillis, Owens and others were
not content with what they had done but soon made their way into
Clay county. They canvassed the country to see how much of the
spirit of persecution they could arouse amongst the old
settlers, for their whole aim was to destroy the saints. They
went to Liberty, the chief town of the county, to make
arrangements to carry out their plans. On their return they
passed a cow-yard just as it was getting dark where myself and a
lot of others, boys and girls, were unseen by them. They were
telling what they were going to do to the Mormons. I made a
rather curious expression for a boy that had been raised to
believe as I did. To wish harm to anyone and especially that the
cruel hand of death should be laid upon them was unthinkable.
But never-the-less, I said, "I hope they will get drowned before
they get across the river." The first news that we heard in the
morning was that the ferry boat, while in the middle of the
river, sprung a leak and some of them were drowned. The
notorious Owens, one of their main leaders, stripped himself of
his boots and clothes and landed safe on the Jackson side of the
river some miles below the landing. He, however, was naked and
far from home and had to pass through a large bottom of nettles
that were densely thick. Imagine a naked man in a thick patch of
nettles! Very good pay for his mobbing expedition. While a big
bellied young man by the name of Campbell was not so lucky (or
rather was more lucky than Owens.) He took hold of a horse tail
and hung on till very near the shore. Then fearing the horses
heels, he let go all holds, thinking he could safely make the
shore. But the treacherous current beat him back into the middle
of the stream and the next day he was found some eight miles
below, lodged in a mess of floodwood with his eye picked out by
the ravens. And thus ended his mobocratic career. While Owens
was humiliated to hide himself behind a log and when the Belle
of the country passed by, he received her petticoat to hide his
nakedness till he could get to some house where he could get
something more to put on. So we can see that a portion of my
strange wish was fulfilled. A woman also drowned with her little
son. Those that remained alive did not feel much like mobbing
for some time, so we had a little time to labor unmolested.
In the spring of 1835, I was taken sick very suddenly
with a burning fever and I got so low that Mother came to my bed
one day and asked me if I thought I was going to die. I said,
"No, I am not". There was a great deal said in those days about
returning to Jackson County. Some thought it would take place in
a few days or at least a few months. And some thought it could
not be over three or five years at the longest. And, of course,
although I was very young, I was quite anxious to return to
where I supposed was my home. So one day in the midst of my
sickness at about midday I saw that muddy stream (Missouri)
nearly emptied of its water, with a small stream running over a
gravelly bottom and the Saints were on the move to Jackson
County. Some had crossed and some were in the stream. I stood at
the edge of the stream ready to cross and the thought came to me
that we had forgotten the little wheel. The wheel appeared to be
the kind that the eastern women spin flax on. I said with a loud
a firm voice, "We have forgot the little wheel and must go back
after it". Mother came to my bed and asked me what i meant about
the little wheel. I told her what I had seen. I did not
understand the meaning of what I had seen, nor for what purpose
I had had the vision. But it came to me sometime after that the
little wheel of the Gospel would have to roll for sometime until
the saints were prepared to return. And then the Saints would go
and take the wheel with them to Jackson County, Mo.
Sometime in the year 1835, a large body of Missourians
got together and formed three resolutions as follows.
1) The Mormons must leave the county forthwith.
2) The Mormons must scatter like other people
and say nothing about their religion.
3) That if they didn't comply with either of the above
resolutions, the cold hand of death would be laid
upon all without any reserves.
The saints of course were not long making up their minds
which course to pursue. The most of them settled near a little
stream called Log Creek in Caldwell County six miles east of
Farwest, the county seat. Here my brother Enos Curtis was born
Feb 4, 1837 and died when he was about eight months old. I
joined a military company, had a pistol about one foot long and
a spear in the end of a long pole with which I trained, stood
guard, etc. I was ready to fight in defense of Zion, although I
was young and small for my age.

My 82nd Birthday Nov 11, 1903
Eighty and two years now are past
Since on this earth my lot was cast.
A helpless babe just born a new
a toilsome journey to pursue
It was in Eighteen twenty one
My days on Earth had but begun
(While)_______ dangling on my mother's ________ (knee)
I knew not what this life would be
Twelve months or more had past away
Since Joseph Smith went out to pray
The Father and the Son drew near
his youthful hart(heart) to soath(soothe) and cheer
It was in eighteen twenty three
A holy angel he did see
who made the gospel plain and clear
three times that night he did appear
In eighteen thirty fair and bright
to Joseph and his friends delight
the church as once in days of old
was organized as long fore told
My father to the prophet went
to learn the truth was his intent
The Gospel there he did obey
Then went rejoicing on his way
In thirty three I saw him Stand
On Zion's consecrated land
Where God's own temple will be reared
When from all sin that land is cleared
Into the water I was led
For Christ to Nichodemus read
You surely must be born again
If you the Kingdon would obtain
But soon the saints were forth
as exiled pilgrims on the earth
five times we were compelled to rome
to seek a more congenial home
Then Brigham led a chosen band
unto a mild and desert land
where through the blessing of the Lord
the saints have gained a rich reward
Four temples now are on this land
wherein the saints may go and stand
As saviours of their kindred dead
that they to heaven may be led
Thirteen years Manti was my home
And then to Dixie I did come
Forty long years have nearly past
since in the south my lot was cast
Though I have known much grief and pain
I cannot of my lot complain
though I am blind and cannot see
I have been blessed beyond degree
The prophets words, the saviours love
The holy ghost sent from above
The priesthood which our God has given
whose keys unlock the gates of heaven
Still make the temple work my theme
My kindred dead I must redeem
then when ny work on earth is o're
I'll meat my friends to meat no more
Part4:page 4
Just previous to the marching of the great army against
the Saints (that is the Mobilitia), Father and the most of the
Saints had moved into Farwest to be more secure from the mob.
The day that the army came, my Uncle Levi Gifford and his sons
Ichabod and Daniel and myself went down to Log Creek to get a
load of corn for bread. Col. Hinkle also led a great portion of
the small band of brethern of Far West out to meet the mob. He
led them in sight and quite close to the great army (who were
well armed) and pulled off his coat in a cold day and would have
marched the small band of almost unarmed men right into their
midst had it not been for our Captain Whiteman who took the
command instantly from him and said, "Brethern, follow me." And
he led them out of danger and landed them safe in Farwest. We
were going a middle road that led through a large co'op field.
Turning our eyes to the right we saw a company of horseman
emerging from the wood. We supposed at first it was Col. Hinkle
and his company but soon discovered that there were too many.
For there was only about 150 of Hinkle's Company and we saw more
than 1,000 come out into the prairie with a large number of
baggage wagons. They marched around and through the big field.
Then we were surrounded by our enemies so we stopped in the
midst of a field of corn, hitched our horses to the wagon, and
went to a house that stood near the east edge of the field. We
found Sister Brunel and three small girls in the house alone.
Sister Brunel's husband and only son, who was about ten years of
age, were in Farwest preparing a place for the family.
Uncle Levi came across Old Father Tanner and they were
walking together when a company of the mob espied them and
rushed to where they were. Uncle Levi ran and hid under the bank
of a creek so they did not get him at that time, but Father
Tanner was more unfortunate and received a heavy blow from the
breech of a gun that broke his skull. Uncle Levi was afterwards
taken prisoner while feeding horses in the field. The first day
that we were surrounded by the army, a lane that led to Sister
Brunel's house was filled at three different times by horsemen
that behaved themselves quite unbecomingly. We received frequent
visits from the mob until the third day when Sister Brunel's boy
returned home from Farwest. He brought us word that they had got
Brother Joseph and others and that they had let quite a few
prisoners go free. Also that Uncle Levi had been taken prisoner
by them and marched into Farwest and set at liberty. That was
the first that we had heard from any of our people only what the
mob told us when they would try to flatter us to go with them
and leave the Mormons. Anyone can imagine our feelings while in
this situation. Uncle Levi was gone, we knew not where, there
was no one to be seen but the mob, excepting us boys and sister
Brunel and her little girls. And the hideous yells that were
uttered by the mob had been almost enough to raise the hair on
one's head. The cattle of the Saints that were running in the
wood and upon the prairie were shot down like wild beasts upon
the plains. The sound of musketry adding horror to the scene.
But when we learned that a boy had passed the camps of our
enemies unmolested, we felt encouraged. So early the next
morning my cousins and myself accompanied the little boy back to
Farwest. Whoever reads this can easily imagine our feelings of
joy when we found ourselves in the midst of our friends once
more, although the Saints were but a small company in the midst
of a large army of demons who were threatening us with steady
destruction under the exterminating order of Governor L.W.
Boggs. Finally the Saints were told that if they would leave the
state forthwith, that their lives should be spared but we need
never think of seeing our leaders again. Said General Lucas,
"Their doom is fixed, their die is cast. You have seen them for
the last time."
Thus the Saints were again driven from their comfortable
homes in the midst of winter. A great portion of them had to
travel without tent or wagon cover and wade through mud and snow
with no one to take them in till we reached the state of
illinois. When we came to the Mississiooi River, Father and some
others cut down two very large cottonwood trees and dug them out
in the shape of canoes and lashed them together a sufficient
distance apart to admit the wheels of a wagon in which many of
the Saints crossed the river. They steered their craft between
the large cakes of ice that were then floating in the river.
While the smaller cakes would pass between the two canoes. We
landed in Quincy Illinois where we were received with kindness
by the citizens of that place. Some of the merchants and leading
men of Quincy donated quite freely to help the most destitute of
the Saints. Such will be remembered when it is said, "In as much
as you have done it unto the least of these, my servants, you
have done it unto me." We stayed a short time in Quincy and then
Father moved about 22 miles up the river, about two miles above
Seyma [Leyman?] and fourteen miles below Warsaw in Hancock
County. A committee was appointed to the Saints to find a
location for the Saints headquarters. They found a place above
Warsaw about eight miles that was called Commerce. It
constituted of three stations or dwellings. This was a very
sickly place and none but Saints could live there and many of
them died before they could subdue the destructive elements that
filled the aire in consequence of the low marshy land that lay
right in the midst of the town, but through the perseverance of
the Saints coupled with the blessings of God, the swamps were
drained and the land and elements dedicated, and sickness and
death became less frequent. Comfortable dwellings, fruitful
fields, orchards, gardens, mills and other improvements and
comforts sprang into existence to the astonishment of all
around. Father lived in the Morley settlement, two miles above
Limy, about one year and then moved to Nauvoo (Commerce). I will
here mention that my brother Heber Chase Kimball was born in the
Morley settlement July 16, 1839. I stayed in the Morley Branch
to learn the chair trade and labored at chairs the most of the
time the Saints remained in Illinois.
In 1841 Father moved five miles above Nauvoo, where he
died of the quick consumption December 25, 1841. Father spent
the most of his time in preaching the Gospel.
Sometime in the year 1844, I was ordained a teacher and
acted as such to the best of my ability until March 18, 1845
when I was ordained a Seventy in the 2oth quorum by Joseph
Young, first President of the Seventies.
Continued from Microfilm print page 5L.
My brother Wm. Pitts died July 4, 1843 at a place called Coal
Beds, or Coalbanks, way down the Mississippi River, in Illinois.
Mother moved back to her place in Nauvoo after Father died. My
brother H. C. Kimble died in Nauvoo, August 31, 1845.
The Missourians were not content with driving the Saints from
the state but followed them into Illinois and tried at different
times to capture and drag Brother Joseph back to Missouri and
stirred up the spirit of persecution among the citizens of
Illinois. And finally the spirit of persecution raged throughout
Adams and Hancock Counties until the Prophet and Patriarch were
murdered in cold-blood. And houses and grainstacks were burned
to the ground. Other property by thousands that belonged to the
Saints was destroyed and the Saints had to flee for their lives.
About the tenth of February, I crossed the Mississippi River and
camped with the first company of Saints that started for the
Rocky Mountains. We were in Iowa Territory near Montrose, a
quite a large town that was mostly inhabited by
Latter-day-Saints. The 14th inst. word came to me that my sister
Rachel was dead. Deaths seemed to be quite frequent in Nauvoo at
that time and they wished their friends to return. But President
young said, "Let the dead bury the dead, that our course was
onward." In a few days the camp moved to Sugar Creek, a few
miles distant, and waited for others to come up and to better
fix for the journey. The camp stayed at Sugar Creek about three
weeks and then went about three days journey and stopped about
three weeks again.
They built a barn, husked large fields of corn for which they
got corn and bacon. Camp moved about three days journey and
crossed the Shariton River and camped about three weeks again.
I was in the company that was known as the guard and stood guard
by turn with others until we left the Shariton. My brother H.D.
was with me. I was not well any of the time. I often stood
guard, walking my beat through deep mud and snow, when I had
ought to have been in bed. But I must do my duty. Here the Main
Guard was broken up and I went into George Miller's Company.
They were camped at Shoal Creek. The next day we traveled nearly
all day and only got about six miles, for it rained nearly all
day and the wagons cut through the Prairie sod till many of them
sank to the hubs and some had to be got out the next morning. We
camped by a little grove made large fires, spread our umbrellas
over our heads while we dried our clothes. The storm held for a
short time. We went to bed in our wagons and tents and some of
us awoke in the morning and found ourselves so thoroughly soaked
that there was not a dry thread about us. Two of Brother
Bosticks children died on this prarie, died with the measles and
were buried in a Locust grove. We continued on till we came to a
place that we called Garden Grove, a nice grove of timber. Here
we found a plenty of wild onions and leeks. I will here mention
that prtle of the Saints that were running in the
wood and upon the prairie were shot down like wild beasts upon
the plains. The sound of musketry adding horror to the scene.
But when we learned that a boy had passed the camps of our
enemies unmolested, we felt encouraged. So early the next
morning my cousins and myself accompanied the little boy back to
Farwest. Whoever reads this can easily imagine our feelings of

I will now go back to my own journey. After helping to herd cows
and fence a field of about 600 acres I returned to Nauvoo and
stayed a day or so and then went to Farmington, Iowa, a town
about 20 miles on the road to the Mountains. After being there a
little over a week, I was taken down with the mumps and was
bed-fast for some time. I boarded with Nathan West and made
chairs, settees, etc. I could hear all the cannons fired in the
Nauvoo Battle.
In the fall (1846) I learned that a man by the name of John
Neff, near Stringtown, at Fox River, wanted a teamster to drive
through to Mt. Pisgah. I found a chance to get there by getting
in with some team that was passing that way. So I drove team for
Brother Neff. And when we got to Pisgah, he wished me to
continue with him to the Winterquarters of the Saints on the
west banks of the Missouri River now Florence. Brother Neff gave
me five dollars in gold when we got to Winterquarters. This I
used mostly for mother to get bread and such things as she
needed, while she did my washing, mending, etc. I lived with
Father Morely and made chairs through the winter, the proceeds
of which the Father Morely family had with the exceptions of a
couple of shirts and garments. In the spring I went to St.
Joseph, Mo., and worked in a wagon shop one month for a man by
the name of Wiatt. In July, I took a trip on a steamboat to St.
Louis and back, nearly burnt myself to death firing at the
boilers and was very sick for some time. When I got back to St.
Joseph, I stayed with brother Simons Plilander Curtis until I
got well. Then John Thomas took a job of cutting hemp for a rich
Missourian and Ezra Wood Curtis and myself went to help him. We
found it too hard a job and by some strategem he got released.
So we returned to winterquarters. I then returned to Mt. Pisgah
to make a fitout for the Mountains. This was the winter of
1847-1848. I again went into the chair shop with the Whitings,
with whom I had labored in Illinois. After I had been here
sometime, Old Mother Head, who was then the wife of Father
Elisha Whiting, took sick and died in one week from the time
that she took sick. A short time after, Father Whiting died also
with one weeks sickness. The old gentleman was fixing to go to
Quincy Ill., where we had a regular market for our chairs,
hoping to sooner get a fitout for the mountains. But death
deprived him from going any farther with the Saints in their
western journey. I s

I regularly encounter enlistment failures or inconsistencies. Filing a bug report for each of them doesn't seem scalable or user friendly.
Can't those fixes be automated, by for instance re-adding those failed enlistments (>1 month) in the backend?
You could prioritize those based on the activity of each enlistment. If the commit activity was low anyway, they get a lower priority.
Enlistments with a low commit activity could even have a lower update cycle (like once a month), to focus resources on updating enlistments which are actually in use.
Indeed many of these kinds of automated measures are currently in-place. The problem is, the failure modes get more creative as we discover them. (There are now 139 documented failure modes being monitored and I know that represents many more...) That said, there are the core of some good ideas here and I will ask management to look at your suggestions with a view to adding some input into the planning for future sprints.

When elephants fight, according to an ancient proverb of the East African Kikuyu people, it is the grass that suffers. So it is with the peculiar case of Tawana Brawley, a black schoolgirl who, whether or not she was the victim of a racially motivated abduction and rape as she says, appears to have become lost in the struggle between her ``friends.``
Last November, police found Brawley, then 15, of Wappinger Falls, N.Y., smeared with dog excrement and wrapped in a garbage bag, racial epithets written on her body in charcoal. She said she had been sexually abused over four days by six white men, one of whom showed a police-type badge and holster.

Call to Empowerment and Action in the Black Community
In light of the recent events with the Trayvon Martin trial and considering the current state of Black People in this nation and worldwide, I thought it would be befitting to create a venue where we could come together to receive upliftment, education, and strength as Africans and as Christians. We are in a unique position to touch others and to positively impact lives. So join us on Monday, July 21st at 7:30pm on our conference call. Please invite family, friends, co-workers, etc to join in on this call. Hopefully we will be no more than an hour to 1.5 hours. This will be one of many!! Shalom! Hotep! Selah!!

The Ankh, the Cross, and the Lynching Tree
Revisiting Black Liberation Theology and the scripture "Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: "Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree." " (Galatians 3:13) rings louder than ever. For centuries our people were hung from trees violently in an act called lynching. Crucifixion was the lynching of Jesus' day used by the Romans, who held all the power, on the people they conquered. People feared crucifixion just like we feared lynching. As we look at our ancestors hanging on a tree we can look at Christ hanging on the Cross.The challenge of the Black Christian today is "How do you rectify the cross and the lynching tree?" Hanging pe put fear in the hearts of those who watched. It served as the final judgment and punishople on trees is an ancient practice that humiliated the deceased andment for the victim whether they were rightfully guilty or innocent. The tree has always been a symbol used by non-Hebrews/Jews and relates back to ancient Babylon as the evergreen tree (today as the Christmas tree), it was a symbol of Nimrod aka Osiris. Nimrod and his mother Seminaris (Osiris and his sister Isis or Asherah and Baal) were revered as gods from Babylon to Egypt. The story about Nimrod states that he killed his father and married his mother, who became pregnant with his baby, but before she gave birth, Nimrod was murdered and his body dismembered. His mother/wife Seminaris looked all over Babylon and found his body parts but the only part missing was his penis (phallus). Seminaris then said she had a vision of an evergreen tree sprouting and this was his phallus, and since that time, trees and wooden poles and obelisks in Egypt, were erected and decorated in honor of Nimrod. When Seminaris gave birth, she said Nimrod re-entered her body and was "born again". (Now sidebar: If we look at these false trinity stories, we will see perversion in all of the stories, why would you worship deities of perversion?) "I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts" (Psalm 119:100), just because our ancestors believed something doesn't make it right (but let's not forget Judaism and Christianity were practiced by many blacks way before the slave trade). Now let us move on to the ankh; Egypt was Israel's neighbor and looking at history, they were related nations. Our people traveled out of Ethiopia up to Nubia and then to Egypt, Canaan was the first place Africans settled outside of the continent creating the Nafturian culture. From there we moved on to Babylon/Mesopotamia and elsewhere. Abraham was called out of Babylon to be separate because that civilization was filled with idol worship and Nimrod worship; such worship was widespread through what we call the "Middle East" today (which was actually considered part of North Africa (Alkebulan) and Egypt. The Egyptians are an interesting bunch as they were very smart people, brilliant people, but unfortunately they corrupted the image of God. It is my theory that their chief god Amun was in fact the real true God (Jesus the Amen of God) but they continued to add and worship other gods and corrupted His image, "And changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and four-footed beasts, and creeping things." (Romans 1:23). Not to mention the languages and dialects of the people had to be similar as they traveled back and forth between nations; it only makes sense since we migrated, its only common sense. God could not use any of these nations because they were so convinced in their idol worship, but Abraham was found to a just man in God's sight (same deal with Noah). Now the ankh is known as the "key of the gods", it was a symbol of life after death. So we have the ankh in Egypt as the symbol of life after death, and we have to tree/poles as the symbol of Nimrod's resurrection in Babylon. In order to put both these false gods and false beliefs to shame God took both symbols wrapped in one and set His Jesus the Christ to die (cursed) and then three days later to rise again (life after death). God sent Jesus Christ to set the record straight! He did it in a way that let the intimidated, the oppressed, and the rejected, and the wrongfully accused etc etc know that there is hope, and that if we believe on Him, who took on the curse for us, that we would have eternal life. Many early Christians literally risked their lives to spread the gospel and many were ripped apart by lions, sawn in half, and beheaded, and many were crucified upside down as a way of mocking their faith. But the more we were persecuted the more we grew. Unfortunately, the Roman establishment soon saw the political gain of identifying with the faith and this led to the sad reality that followed in regards to slavery and other horrendous acts. It makes one ask the question "how was the oppressor able to use the cross as justification for the lynching tree?" I say, "the same way the image of God was corrupted in the first place". History always repeats itself. Satan wants to be god so bad that he will use anything dedicated to God to mislead the people and glorify himself. HOWEVER, GOD IS STILL ON THE THRONE and the TRUTH IS BEING REVEALED MORE AND MORE EVERYDAY. Know your history, know your God, know who you are! Be blessed! 1) the ankh, 2)the cross, 3) Jesus the Christ, 4) A lynched blackman, 5) Roman crucifixion, 6) An early Christian being crucified upside down

Take Black History Seriously
We are less than a month away from Black History month... I just hope, just like we go hard for the 4th of July even though wasn't nobody in America or the govt thinking about the black slaves on that day cuz you weren't independent, and we go hard for Memorial Day to commemorate wars and bloodshed, and we go hard for saint Patrick's day bcuz all blacks are mysteriously part Irish on that day, and we go hard for valentine's day yet many of us are still lonely and miserable, I hope that we will represent to the fullest and take pride in our history.... Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, and Rosa Parks aren't the only notable black leaders .... Learn your history which goes back further than a plantation !...I do not own this photo!

William Joseph Seymour
The Azusa Street revival was lead by William Joseph Seymour, who was the son of former slaves. William rejected racial barriers and promoted "Unity under Christ" and always encourage Women to preach the gospel. He believed in the "speaking of other tongues" as evidence of the Holy Ghost and of course suffered much rejection because of this belief. The Azusa Street revival of Los Angeles began as a small prayer meeting and grew to a large street revival that continued until 1915. The news of the revival, folks speaking in tongues and demonstrating in the holy ghost, and the miracles that were being reported were investigated by both secular and religious people from all over the world. Out of this revival came the Pentecostal Holiness Movements and the various Pentecostal churches and denominations we see today. Today more than 500 million people consider themselves Pentecostal.

The Lie Satan Told Me
"You don't need God, you are a god".... The same lie satan told Eve in the garden.... The same lie we keep telling ourselves, and this lie is gaining much popularity in the black community.... Once we realize who we really are as God's children and stop playing gods (small "g's") and stop playing church and get real, the state of our people will improve immensely.... We all weren't kings and queens in Africa and some of our people willingly sold their brothers and sisters into slavery especially during the Fulani wars in West Africa, we must get real about our own role in the slave trade as well, our hands aren't completely clean.... But once you are a child of the KING (God) you are royalty and joint heirs with Jesus Christ... I do not own the picture!

Azusa Street Revival
The Azusa Street revival of 1906 -1915 changed the face of Christianity in America and around the world giving birth to the Pentecostal Holiness Movement. Black Men and women, former slaves and children of former slaves, met in Los Angeles, California for what started as a prayer meeting and grew into the largest and greatest revival of that time, maybe all time! Most notable was the FALL OF THE HOLY GHOST with evidence of SPEAKING IN TONGUES.... Miracles upon miracles were performed and people were healed; there are many eye witness accounts and books published. Since that time congestion a such as the Church of God, Church of God in Christ, and the Assemblies of God etc were born! Missionaries from other Christian churches and nations such as Egypt, South Africa, Germany etc came to investigate the great wonders that were being reported.... Christianity has never been the same... Pentecostalism is the fastest growing form of Christianity in the world today. Learn your history! I do not own the photo!

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 5/12/2013 (1355 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Manitobans are digging out today after 12-15 centimetres of snow fell over Winnipeg, and up to 25 cms in southeast Manitoba.
Rural parents are also figuring out what to do with their kids after many southern Manitoba schools are closed today. See the list of school closures below.
Meanwhile, everyone should think twice before traveling outside the city. Blowing and drifting snow will continue. Most highways are snow-covered to some degree, and some, like Highway 12 south of Steinbach, are completely covered.
Another two centimetres of snow is expected today over much of the province, accompanied by the same fierce winds as the last couple days. The high in Winnipeg will reach -12 C today, but with northwest winds of 40 km/h, gusting to 60, for a wind chill of -27.
Expect light snow overnight with a 20 km/h wind, and a wind chill of -29.
Then snow stops and an extended cold snap begins.
Flurries will end around noon on Friday, with winds tailing off towards evening. The temperature will be steady near -20 C, with a wind chill of -32.
Saturday will be sunny but with a high of -22 C and low of -26 C; Sunday offers a high of just -22 C and a nighttime low of -30 C. The cold snap continues early next week.
Schools closed today:
• Interlake School Division
• Red River Valley School Division
• Hanover School Division
• Seine River School Division
• Borderland School Division
• Sunrise School Division
• Evergreen School Division
• Mennonite Collegiate Institute (Gretna)
• Lord Selkirk School Division
Schools open but with no bus service:
• Louis Riel School Division — schools are open but no buses are operating in the Sage Creek neighbourhood.
• Calvin Christian Schools — shuttlebus service not operating.

Hill blasts Owls fans
Clint Hill has criticised the Sheff Wed fans who came onto the field following the Owls' relegation.
Last Updated: 03/05/10 11:36am
Crystal Palace defender Clint Hill has criticised the Sheffield Wednesday fans who came onto the field following the Owls' relegation at Hillsborough on Sunday.
Palace ensured they would be playing Championship football next season and condemned Alan Irvine's side to League One with a thrilling 2-2 draw.
The afternoon was overshadowed by the scenes at the final whistle when jubilant Eagles fans spilled onto the pitch to celebrate, with the home supporters following and scuffles breaking out.
Hill had been celebrating in front of the away fans and was attempting to return to the safety of the dressing room when he became caught up in the fracas.
The Football Association is expected to launch an investigation and both clubs could find themselves facing disciplinary action.
Hill said: "I know they are frustrated, but should they be throwing punches at people?
"A good few landed and I am a big lad and can take them. It is disappointing.
"At one point there was maybe seven or eight [fans] on me.
"Somebody said that they saw a 50-year-old woman getting hurt.
"I am not going to make a thing of it but, if the club ban them, they will get what they deserve."

Police: Possible meth operation led to Fayette County chase, standoff
The propane tanks, drain cleaner containers and plastic tubing tipped off a ranger with the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources to a possible methamphetamine manufacturing operation late Friday morning.
When Ranger Kip Hursh spoke with Donald Ray Brown, 53, and Jessica Lynn Phillips, 28, in a secluded area of Dunbar Township along the Youghiogheny River, they told him they were homeless and had been there since Tuesday. They had been camping near the Yough River Trail, part of the Greater Allegheny Passage.
Both denied having weapons.
When Hursh began to inspect a Ford pickup and a black utility trailer, "a call came over his radio that the state police were en route to the scene," and the pair fled, according to an affidavit of probable cause.
That set in motion a chase where a state trooper escaped death from five blasts from a shotgun, the suspects crashed their truck into a North Union home, and Brown broke into another home nearby, where he ended his life, according to police.
The suspects allegedly led troopers on a chase south into North Union, firing shots out of a rear sliding window on the pickup before the truck crashed into a home on North Gallatin Avenue. Police allege the suspects broke into a home on Center Avenue, where police tried to reach Brown for about nine hours until they found his body about 9 p.m. on Friday.
Phillips, who surrendered shortly after the crash, is being held in the Fayette County Prison on $1 million bail.
Police said Brown was found dead from an apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Coroner Phillip Reilly said on Saturday that his office is planning to have Dr. Cyril Wecht, the well-known forensic pathologist based in Pittsburgh, perform an autopsy sometime during the weekend.
No troopers were injured.
Police said the pair, from Buckhannon, W.Va., were approached in Dunbar Township about 11:45 a.m.
After they fled, Trooper Nathan Swink caught up with Brown and Phillips as the truck headed along Route 119 South in the center of Connellsville.
According to the affidavit, Swink pursued them on West Crawford Avenue, where shots were fired at him near Sherwoods Bar. Swink continued the chase through Dunbar Township and onto Bute Road in North Union.
At the intersection of Bute and Oliver roads, two more troopers attempting to block the road were nearly struck when the pickup's driver refused to stop, according to the affidavit. Police have not identified which of the two was driving.
Police said the pickup crashed into a home at 500 N. Gallatin Ave. in North Union, causing "serious damage to the residence." The homeowner could not be reached on Saturday.
Brown and Phillips fled into a neighboring home. As police surrounded the home, Phillips surrendered. Roads nearby were blocked off by police and firefighters during the fruitless negotiations with Brown.
No sign of life ever came from the house as troopers beseeched him over a megaphone to come out. There was no response as they used flash-gun powder, a robot, a message from Phillips and other entreaties.
Three area schools were placed on lockdown, as was PennDOT's District 12 headquarters. Police escorted the children out of their school buildings as parents arrived.
Seized from the Ford pickup were a Western Field 12-gauge shotgun and a Federal Arms .308-caliber assault rifle, according to the affidavit.
Phillips is charged with attempted homicide, conspiracy, escape, prohibited offensive weapon, resisting arrest, burglary, criminal mischief, fleeing or attempting to elude police, four counts of aggravated assault and three counts of reckless endangerment. Police had obtained an arrest warrant for Brown on the same charges, online court records show.
Brown had pleaded guilty in January 2012 to a charge of driving under the influence in Sullivan County in north-central Pennsylvania. He was sentenced to six months on probation.
Phillips's preliminary hearing is scheduled for Wednesday before District Judge Wendy Dennis in Uniontown. Phillips does not have an attorney listed in online court records.

Why did you become chair of the organisation?
I became a trustee in 1986 because I wanted to support the Butler Trust, which recognises the incredible work that prison staff do to help reduce reoffending. It was a real privilege to be asked to take up the position of chairman.
What qualities and skills are needed?
Your role is to try to give everybody the opportunity to contribute as much as they are able.
You are the Football Association's director of football development. What qualities does a manager require?
The main requirement in any management role is to make sure everyone feels they are given the opportunity to contribute significantly in their areas of expertise. Whoever is at the top or bottom, everybody has a role to play in the structure of any organisation.
What leadership skills did you take with you from your experiences in football?
The importance of preparation and making sure you are focused on the right priorities and channelling the different strengths of each individual in the right direction. Every individual has a particular strength. They also have weaknesses. The skill is to put these into a structure that makes as much impact as possible.
How can sport help young offenders to stop committing crimes?
It is important to alleviate boredom while in custody. Awareness of healthy eating and the benefits of regular exercise are helpful in rehabilitation. Tackling drugs through sport has proved effective in a number of prisons and young offender institutions. Numeracy and literacy skills are improved dramatically by using players' records and statistics to capture the interest of offenders: goals scored, for instance.
What's the best piece of management advice you have been given?
The minute you stop believing you've still got something to learn, you are in trouble.
What did you learn on your recent visit to Deerbolt young offender institution?
Its pilot High Intensity Training programme offers young offenders a range of opportunities, from achieving NVQs in plastering, forklift truck driving and recycling to the Mobile Team Challenge, which focuses on anti-bullying, team building and social and life skills. As many offenders have not been used to aiming for something, the opportunity to succeed in gaining a recognised qualification is a really positive step forward.
Do you have a management guru?
Two West Ham coaches, Ron Greenwood and John Lyall, who both sadly died earlier this year.

Measuring and Testing Tail Dependence and Contagion Risk between Major Stock Markets
In this paper, three copula GARCH models i.e. Gaussian, Student-t, and Clayton are used to estimate and test the tail dependence measured by Kendall's tau between six stock indices. Since the contagion risk spreads from large markets to small markets, the tail dependence is studied for smaller Taiwanese and South Korean stock markets, i.e. Taiex and Kospi against four larger stock markets, i.e. S&P500, Nikkei, MSCI China, and MSCI Europe. The vector autoregression result indicates that S&P500 and MSCI China indeed impact mostly and significantly to the other four stock markets. However, the tail dependence of both Taiex and Kospi against S&P500 and MSCI Chia are lower due to unilateral impacts from US and China. Using Clayton copula GARCH, the threshold tests of Kendall's tau between most stock markets except China are significant during both subprime and Greek debt crises. The tests of Student-t copula GARCH estimated Kendall's taus are only acceptable for subprime crisis but not for Greek debt crisis. Thus, Clayton copula GARCH is found appropriate to estimate Kendall's taus as tested by threshold regression.

Double-baked gruyere souffle
Jeremy and Jane Strode
Photo: Jennifer Soo
Would you like to impress guests without any stress⁄ Look no further than this recipe. There's one great advantage with a double-baked souffle - you can make the first stage in advance then just finish them off when required. I also think they taste better than the traditional style, which is just full of hot air.
- 70g butter
- 65g plain flour
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 380ml milk
- 160g gruyere cheese,grated
- 3 egg yolks
- 4 egg whites
- 1 1/2 cup thickened cream
Pre-heat oven to 180C. Grease 6 x 200 ml metal dariole moulds or ramekins. Melt butter over low heat
Add flour, nutmeg, cayenne and salt. Cook for eight minutes, stirring regularly, until mixture starts to foam and flour is cooked. Add milk gradually, stirring to prevent lumps forming. Cook further 10 minutes, stirring. Stir through 80g cheese. Remove from heat and transfer mixture to a bowl then add egg yolks. Combine. Whisk whites to medium peaks and fold through in three batches. Pour evenly into moulds. Fill roasting tray with hot water, one-third the height of the ramekins. Bake 20 minutes.
Remove from oven and allow to cool. Souffles will shrink. The souffles can be put to one side at this stage. Remove from moulds and place upside down in six ovenproof dishes with sides. Pour cream evenly between souffles. Sprinkle with remaining cheese and bake for 20 minutes or until puffed up and golden brown. Serve immediately.

Well, how easy were these to make?
I was able to make them, put aside and then rebake them at dinner time. No fuss and they looked fantastic. The texture was excellent, light and delicious. Everyone was impressed and the gruyere cheese was a good choice.
This recipe is a keeper!

During these dark, drab winter days it's easy to get into a style rut; when everything outside your window — from the trees to the sky — seems to be some shade of gray or brown, outfit choices seem to follow suit. Indeed, fall/winter runway lines are generally done in more somber hues than their more vibrant spring/summer and resort counterparts.
Though history tells us that shades like lemon yellow and bright turquoise are strictly summer colors, adding a pop of color to your winter wardrobe seems like a fun and unexpected update this season. After all, isn't fashion about doing what's unexpected?
This Fashionista, spotted in my hometown of Pittsburgh during this break, wears her bold, bright turquoise sweater over a sheer, white blouse, jeans and black riding boots. To achieve a similar look, try this fun waffle-knit version from Forever 21. If you're feeling more girly, try a pink option from Madewell instead.
While the unexpected pop of color draws the eye in, her studded collar makes this outfit an absolute slam dunk. The embellished collar trend has been everywhere this season, and wearing it under a sweater is the perfect option for day. You can buy Melissa's shirt with silver studs here at Forever 21, or try this gold-embellished blouse from Zara for a more subdued take on the trend. To channel your inner Zooey Deschanel, opt for a studded Peter Pan collar. Finish off the look with basic black jeans and black boots, like this Steve Madden equestrian style. Later you can remove the sweater and trade in your flat boots for a pair of bright pumps, and you're instantly ready for an evening out!

Detroit • A Texas lawyer has filed a lawsuit against General Motors on behalf of 658 people who were injured or killed in crashes allegedly caused by faulty ignition switches.
The lawsuit filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Manhattan in New York City names 29 people who were killed in crashes and 629 who were hurt. All the crashes occurred after GM emerged from bankruptcy protection in July of 2009. That makes them exempt from GM's efforts to shield itself from claims due to crashes that occurred before the bankruptcy, attorney Robert Hilliard said in a statement.
Hilliard also said he will ask judges for permission to file another 248 cases from before the bankruptcy, including 21 deaths.

Over 25 million Americans live with asthma. Many forget to or choose not to adhere to their asthma prescriptions, leading to unnecessary hospital visits and $700 to $4,000 per patient per year in preventable medical costs, according to the CDC.
But a new device by MIT spin-off company Gecko Health is hoping to change all that. Meet the smart inhaler, CareTRx. It's a small cap "equipped with sensors and onboard memory" that users attach to their inhaler. Every time the inhaler is used, CareTRx records the information and sends it to the CareTRx app.
The app informs users when they've missed a dose, and reminds them when it's time to take a dose (in fact, the CareTRx cap even lights up). The app also awards users badges when they adhere to their prescription. And it tracks useful information such as percentage of adherence, potential triggers, peak flow, and symptoms.
"The idea is to make things very transparent and easy to understand," said physician and Gecko Health CEO Yechiel Engelhard. "Anything to make you a smarter patient."
Users have control of the information gathered, but are given the option of sharing it with their health care provider and/or anonymously sharing it with researchers.
CareTRx was first developed at a hackathon where it was called Chameleon and came with an app game that gave children points for properly using their inhaler. Over the years Engelhard and his team refined it, adding many new innovations like long battery life so the device doesn't require constant charging.
