Seventeenth Sunday in Ordinary Time (B)
2 Kgs 4:42-44; Eph 4:1-6; Jn 6:1-15
The Bible has a long memory. When the gospel writers try to describe the extraordinary impact of Jesus' ministry they often color their accounts with memories of previous great people in the history of Israel. Such is the case with today's readings for the 17th Sunday of Ordinary Time. The Gospel reading is from John's account of the multiplication of the loaves. The feeding of the vast crowds that follow Jesus recalls a number of Old Testament precedents. One memorable event was God's miraculous feeding of the Israelites with manna as they fled across the Sinai desert to escape the hand of Pharaoh and the slavery of Egypt (see Exodus 16).
More to the point is the connection that the Lectionary underscores by selecting the reading from 2 Kings 4:42-44 about the Prophet Elisha who miraculously feeds a hundred people with only twenty barley loves (note that John's Gospel also identifies the bread multiplied by Jesus as "barley" loaves, often considered the bread of the poor). The prophets Elijah and Elisha are great heroes in the literature of Israel. More than any other figures they represent the Spirit-filled prophets who speak fearlessly and do marvelous deeds through God's power. For example, besides multiplying the twenty barley loaves, in other stories in Chapter 4 of the Second Book of Kings, this same prophet Elisha miraculously saves a widow and her only son from starvation, assures a childless woman that she will bear a son and, later when the boy dies suddenly, brings him back to life! For the gospel writers Jesus was a great prophet and more than a prophet. If the Spirit of God worked through great figures like Elijah and Elisha, Jesus himself embodied the divine presence.
But not to be overlooked in this Sunday's readings is the basic emphasis on food-providing food for the hungry who have no other provisions. The story of the Multiplication of the Loaves is one account of Jesus' great works that is found in all four of the Gospels. Mark relates two feeding stories like this, one on each side of the Sea of Galilee, where Jesus feed the multitude from what appears to be insufficient rations (see Mark 6:34-44; 8:1-9). The numbers of those who are hungry and need to be fed are substantial: John's Gospel simply notes that it is "a large crowd" that even "two hundred days wages" would not be enough to feed. Matthew notes that the crowd numbers 5,000 "not counting women and children" (Mt. 14:21). Mark also cites 5,000 "men" in his first feeding account and 4,000 in the second (Mk 6:44; 8:9).
There are other scenes in the gospels where Jesus is also concerned about eating: asking that the little girl he raised from the dead be given something to eat (Mark 5:43); defending his disciples who were pulling off heads of grain to eat while walking through a field on the Sabbath because they were hungry (Mark 2:23-28); and preparing a breakfast of bread and fish for his disciples who had been fishing all night long (John 21:13).
This emphasis on feeding those who are hungry reminds us that Jesus was not concerned only about accurate religious teachings or practices. As a healer Jesus reached out and touched human bodies in pain - healing them, comforting them, restoring them to life. So, too, Jesus was aware of what it means to be hungry and to have no provisions. He fed people. Our psalm response today picks up this basic motif: "The hand of the Lord feeds us; he answers all our needs."
No doubt the presence of these miracle accounts in the gospels are meant to underscore the divine power of Jesus - to help us realize his unique identity as God's prophet and, even more, God's only Son. But there is another important challenge here for us. Like Jesus we are called to be attentive to human need and to do something about it. Authentic Christian faith is not content to simply believe the right things and say the right words. The Letter of James states this in its typical blunt style: "If a brother or sister has nothing to wear and has no food for the day, and one of you says to them, 'Go in peace, keep warm, and eat well,' but you do not give them the necessities of the body, what good is it? So, also faith of itself, if it does not have works, is dead." (Letter of James 2:15-17).
No one who reads the papers or listens to the news can escape the fact that world hunger is a terrible epidemic today. The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization estimates that 925 million people, 13.6% of the world's population, suffer from acute hunger. Many of these are children; of the more than 10 million children who die of illness each year, half - 5 million - die of starvation. While most instances of hunger occur in developing countries, our own country is not exempt. The government reported that in 2010, 17.2 million households, 14.5 percent of all households (approximately one in seven), were "food insecure," the highest number ever recorded in the United States.
What should someone who wants to follow the example of Jesus do when we hear these Scripture readings at our Sunday Eucharist? Each of us needs to do our own examination of conscience, to be alert to the reality of urgent human needs, and see what is possible for us to do in response. Some can donate food or money to food banks and soup kitchens. Some can do volunteer work at their local food pantry. Some can press our local and national government when drawing up their budget priorities not to neglect the poor who go hungry every day in our cities and countryside. Some can make sure that in their own household they do not waste food or habitually consume food that contributes to some of the ecological problems that lead to inequitable food production and distribution.
In each of the feeding stories in the gospels, Jesus turns first to his disciples and asks them: "How will we get enough food to feed them?" On this Sunday in Ordinary Time Jesus asks the question of us.

DERRY, N.H. – As the duo wound down their day of campaigning in New Hampshire Tuesday evening, Texas Governor Rick Perry and his newest supporter, Arizona sheriff Joe Arpaio, phoned into supporters in Iowa, touting the governor's latest endorsement and stressing the need for Washington to fulfill its duty to secure the border with Mexico.
"The sheriff agrees with me that Washington's broken. The border's a good example of how broken Washington, D.C. is and failed to get the job done," Perry said during the evening conference call. "I'm not going to get my eye off the ball and that ball is to secure the border."
The campaign said "thousands" of Iowans participated in the approximately 45-minute conference call.
Perry repeated many of the same messages he relayed during his day campaigning in New Hampshire. He argued for the detention and deportation of any illegal aliens apprehended by law enforcement officials, stressed the need for strategic fencing in metropolitan areas along the border and voiced a strong position against offering any form of amnesty to illegal immigrants currently residing in the country, even citing the DREAM Act as a "form of amnesty."
"I don't think the American people are ever going to agree to amnesty in any form or fashion," Perry said on the conference call. "The country's going to have a conversation about how to deal with immigration reform but that is not going to happen until we secure the border. I certainly understand the media's interest if you will in 'Tell us what your plan will be to deal with these 11 or 12 million people that are already here' and I can assure that we're wise enough people to figure out how to deal with them but it won't be amnesty."
Arpaio's endorsement of Perry came at an early morning event in Amherst, N.H., and the Maricopa County sheriff accompanied Perry at two town halls in the afternoon. The campaign said Arpaio might join the governor in Iowa pending the sheriff's schedule.

Artist: The Young Fresh Fellows
Album: Gleich Jetzt
Appears On (Mixes): I'm a Wound and a Sword, A Victim and an Executioner
Song Notes: It wouldn't be one of these compilations without a track by The Young Fresh Fellows, so here goes. This is from the Japanese-only CD Gleich Jetzt, and this is one of the tracks that only appeared on this album. A few possible translations of Gleich Jetzt have been offered: The one I'm throwing my lot in with is "Right Now" (which may or may not be confirmed by the Japanese liners, as the phrases "Right Now" and "Gleich Jetzt" are seen in relatively close proximity to one another, separated by some Japanese text), but there's also "Now It's The Same", and Babelfish suggests "Equivalent Now", which admittedly does have a ring to it. This was one of the first tracks recorded when Kurt Bloch joined the band, recorded at Reciprocal in 1989 produced by Conrad Uno & the Fellows with Jim Sangster doubling on guitar (instead of his usual bass duties) and Evan Johns on lead guitar. (Strangely, Evan Johns' site says it was an "Uncredited guitar solo recorded in Seattle, WA after an H-Bombs gig. Evan played and found out later who they were," recorded in 1987.) It's a pretty cool track, and unavailable elsewhere. - Rev. Syung Myung Me

construct a meaning, it is a choice, you select
a theme and tells a story, it's up to us, the
viewers, the immense challenge of reading them."

Arkansas has become quite a hotspot for BMX (Bicycle motocross). "We actually have a vibrant scene here in Arkansas," said Alex Kienlen, managing editor of BMXer Magazine and operator of the Bonzai BMX in North Little Rock. "We have a track here, a track in Cabot, a track in Northwest Arkansas in Lowell. So if you are into BMX racing you can do a lot of it here. Especially when the season is up and
going you can BMX in Arkansas pretty much 7 days a week."
The state has had as many as 5 tracks but right now 3 are open: Bonzai BMX at Burns Park, Mudtown BMX in Lowell and Cabot BMX Complex. Kienlen said California and Florida are still the meccas for BMXing but Arkansas can compete.
BMX motocross bicycle racing ( which became an Olympic sport at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing) is similar to its motorcycle counterpart. Courses are set up with steep turns and jumps. Riders compete in three different races, or motos, with a winner for each moto along with an overall winner. The overall winner is the rider with the best finishing average of the three events.
Kienlen, who lives in Conway, said the most misunderstood aspect of the sport and racing is that people confuse it with the X-games type riding. "Not only do we get no points for tricks but it's all based on who crosses the finish line first," he said.
Kienlen added that people might be surprised to find out how broad of a selection of classes are offered in the sport. "We have classes for all ages and experience levels," he said.
If you are interested in starting in BMX, Kienlen said all you need is long pants, a long sleeve shirt, a bicycle with working brakes (important!),no freestyle pegs, and a helmet.
The Bonzai BMX track can be found by taking the 150 exit (Burns Park exit) from I-40.
The Cabot BMX Complex is at 2301 Willie Ray Drive. More details can be found at: www.cabotbmxcomplex.com/
The Mudtown BMX can be found at Ward Nail Park in Lowell. More details can be found here.
More details about the sport can be found via the American Bicycle Association (the sanctioning body of BMX) at: www.ababmx.com/.

Drawing Lessons: It All Starts With A Mark
In this entry into Diane Wright's drawing lessons, Diane explores the different types of marks you can make using a pencil.
The anticipation of making that first mark on a blank sheet of paper for me is exciting. Each mark builds upon the last one and soon the image begins to evolve and appear on the paper.
As with any art medium, knowing what your graphite pencil can do is important. The simple pencil can make a variety of different textures and effects just with a little practice.
Drawing Lessons: It All Starts With A Mark
Smooth Gradient
Creating a smooth tone from dark to light. Practice creating a smooth gradient by using heavier to lighter pencil pressure in one pass. Notice the difference between using a harder lead versus a softer lead. The softer lead creates a darker more grainy tone.
Gray Scales
Use the full-range of pencils available (6B – 2H) to match the value. You can vary your pencil pressure and/or use multiple pencil grades to create the value. Be sure to note which pencil(s) were used for future reference.
Pencil Marks
Varying the pencil mark can create a multitude of different effects. Combining different pencil marks in one sketch, will create variety, and more realistic images.
Circular – Draw small circular strokes using a light pressure. Use multiple layers to create a smooth, even and diffuse tone. Particularly effective for skin textures.
Cross hatching – Draw close parallel lines. Change the rotation of the lines with each layer. This works well for large areas and creates a smooth, 'linen' effect.
Scribbling – Using the over-hand pencil grip, create small random scribbles. This is very effective in creating foliage on trees.
Random marks – This is similar to scribbling, except the marks are random. Varying the pressure of the pencil can build up areas quickly. This is a great technique when exploring subject matter and quick sketching.
Stippling – Short – Medium – Long – Varying the length of the pencil stroke creates a variety of textures.
Erasing can be as important of a tool as the pencil. By removing or lifting off graphite from your sketch, you not only remove mistakes, but can also create different effects and subtle values.
- Kneadable eraser – This eraser can be molded into shapes and lift graphite off the paper. To clean the eraser, just knead until the graphite is absorbed into the eraser.
- White Mars eraser – I use this eraser sparingly. Most common use is to erase using a ruler to create sharp edges. I keep a sharp edge on the eraser by slicing at an angle with a knife.
Blending pushes the graphite into the fibers of the paper and removes the "graininess" of graphite layers. This creates a very smooth, soft affect that is commonly used to create clouds in landscapes and smooth skin in portraits.
- Blending Stump – The stump made from pressed paper. This is used to blend small, detail areas on your sketch.
- Chamois – The chamois is a soft material that you wrap around your index finger, then using a circular motion, rub to blend the graphite layers to a smooth finish. This works well for larger areas such as creating skies in landscapes, or backgrounds.
Burnishing is a technique of applying a harder lead (3H) with the flat part of a chisel point over a detailed area.
- Blending versus Burnishing – The purpose of both blending and burnishing is to create a unified even value over a specific area but each will create much different results. Blending will blur or lessen your detailed areas, creating a softer look. Burnishing will retain all the under lying detail while creating a light unified tone. Burnishing will create a more realistic image than blending.
Fig. a illustrates the "under" drawing used as the base for both next two images. The details and outlines are sketched using a sharp 2B pencil.
Fig. b shows the drawing blended using a stump. This blurs and diffuses all the detail.
Fig. c shows burnishing using the flat chisel point of a 3H pencil. The graphite is layered with a firm pressure to create a smooth light value. This allows the detail in the under drawing to show through and does not lose any of the details. This creates a more realistic looking image.
TIP: Burnishing with a hard lead will also help "seal" in the graphite so there less smudging.
Q and A – Each article will be posted on Diane's blog at www.dwrightart.blogspot.com. Comments or questions can be posted there and Diane will respond to any questions or discussions.

Age: 75
Title: President, Don King Productions
Pro: Still the most recognizable face (and hair) in boxing; promoted some of Muhammad Ali's most memorable bouts, like the "Thrilla in Manila" and "Rumble in the Jungle."
Con: Served 3½ years in prison for second-degree murder, though a judge reduced the conviction to manslaughter, in the late '60s. Under King's de facto control, boxing has sunk into irrelevance.
Next Philip Anschutz


text: I have been watching the current season of BB UK and find it a much better show than the version here in the States. More like BB1 was here - HG's nominate and the public votes to evict. The lack of HoH, alliances, backstabbing, etc... seems to make for a much better show. Anyone else who has seen both want to chime in?

The U.S. Supreme Court's refusal to hear the Drakes Bay Oyster Co.'s attempt to overturn federal orders to close the longstanding Marin business puts the oyster farm a big step closer to being shut down.
The high court's decision was the latest legal loss for the oyster farm, which last year was ordered by the U.S. Interior Department to leave the Point Reyes National Seashore, where it has stood and served oysters to park-goers for years.
The attorney for the oyster farm's owner, the Lunny family, says there may be other legal steps for the business to retain its lease.
While Supreme Court justices didn't believe the legal case warranted its review, the oyster farm has had strong support from the West Marin community, where the park's refusal to renew the farm's lease is seen by many as heavy-handed and a possible threat to the agricultural leases across the seashore.
In November 2012, then-Interior Secretary Kenneth Salazar — after numerous studies — decided not to renew the Lunnys' lease. The lease was a decades-long pact the oyster farm's longtime owners struck with the park when the oyster farm property in Drakes Estero was purchased by the government with the intent to convert it back to wilderness.
In his decision, Salazar stressed the importance of the ranches that stretch across much of the park and promised that they would remain. But Salazar retired before his promise could be written into law.
The park service has started a lengthy review of the ranches' future. But while fulfilling Salazar's pledge might be the impetus for the study, there are political forces that want to turn those historic leases into cow-free wilderness areas, and will push for that change.
The Lunnys' lawyers have argued that Salazar's decision on the oyster farm's lease was an abuse of discretion and that it was based on faulty environmental studies.
The oyster farm remains open, awaiting action from the park service.
There has been no sign the park service has any intent of reversing or relaxing Salazar's 2012 decision. The park service handled the end of the lease poorly, including a public campaign that painted the oyster farm as harmful to the estero's environment.
The scientific evidence the park service advanced has since been questioned and rejected by nationally respected scientists.
Given the ham-handed manner in which park officials have handled this lessee-landlord arrangement, the Lunny family should be afforded a fair and reasonable amount of time to wind down the family's business. The park service should respect that the oyster farm for many years has been an asset that has attracted people to the seashore.
The park service also should be concerned about the farm's 25 to 30 workers who will lose their jobs due to the closure.
A short period of time will not harm Congress' intent to convert the land to wilderness.
When the Lunnys bought the oyster farm in 2004 they knew the risk, that the business's days on the park property were numbered and the lease would not be renewed beyond 2012. To the family's credit, it has upgraded the old oyster farm and it has become an example of the mariculture that Marin has long promoted as a local economic goal.
The park service's attack on the oyster farm did little to support that goal.
Regardless of the future of the oyster farm, the park service has burned a lot of bridges with the community.
What should be a strong partnership is now viewed with an unfortunate wariness that bureaucratic bosses in Washington D.C. do not share the community's views and vision.
The Supreme Court ruling may close the door on this chapter of the park's history, but it does not lessen the park's need to rebuild bridges and trust with the community.
Moving forward expeditiously in fulfilling Salazar's promise that the park's ranches are important to both the park and the community would be a step in the right direction.

**Hi, can anyone tell me how to access the filter on these washers?**
What filter?....lint filter?
**How do you remove that panel if that is the access panel?**
Front panal comes off, but won't help with the ?lint? filter.
The lint filter is built into the bottom of the wash basket, under the agitator.

Last night in a truly crazy 3OT game up in Toronto, Marvin Williams threw down on new rookie, Jonas Valanciunas. Valanciunas has come into the NBA the hard way – he's been dunked on twice in a week. For once, Williams showed us what made the Hawks draft him over Chris Paul.
Is Williams a good fit in Utah?

Save The Best For Last: All-Star Game To Be Remembered For Mariano Rivera's Farewell
Published July 17, 2013
ENTER SANDMAN, ONE LAST TIME: White Sox P Chris Sale said of Rivera, "He stole the show. Watching him was probably the coolest sports experience I've ever had" (CHICAGO TRIBUNE, 7/17). Red Sox 2B Dustin Pedroia: "I had goose bumps the whole time and I'm sure a lot of people did" (BOSTON HERALD, 7/17). A's P Grant Balfour: "We were all playing for one guy. It's a team game, but we all want to see this guy go out on a high" (CSNNE.com, 7/17). Red Sox P Clay Buchholz: "I don't think anybody will forget it. It was a great moment for baseball" (BOSTON GLOBE, 7/17). In Toronto, Bob Elliott writes All-Star Games "can provide chills once in a while" (TORONTO SUN, 7/17). The WALL STREET JOURNAL's Daniel Barbarisi writes the "on-field adulation capped an All Star week that has been all about Rivera." He addressed "both his team and the crowd before the game started." In his final All-Star Game "before retiring, Rivera has gone from elite pitcher and future Hall of Famer to something of a baseball treasure -- a living legend" (WALL STREET JOURNAL, 7/17).
ENJOYING THE MOMENT: YAHOO SPORTS' Jeff Passan writes Leyland giving Rivera the moment may have been "contrived," but the whole situation "could've been as phony as a street-vendor Rolex, and it would've mattered not a bit." Everyone involved "swore it was real, an impeccable bit of spontaneity, and there's no sense in questioning that because it felt real" (SPORTS.YAHOO.com, 7/17). ESPN N.Y.'s Jayson Stark wrote, "The emotion, the ovation, the memories will always feel real and special. No denying that." But there is "also no denying it was, frankly, kind of weird" (ESPNNY.com, 7/16). Meanwhile, CBSSPORTS.com's Jon Heyman wrote the game was "supposed to be a Mets night, the night of their season." Everything was "set to celebrate the Mets' gorgeous and (relatively) new stadium and their two mega stars -- the kid fireballer and the beloved primetime positional star." But it "turned out to be a Yankee's night." Heyman: "Such is life as a Met" (CBSSPORTS.com, 7/16).
TOM'S STILL TERRIFIC: Baseball HOFer Tom Seaver threw out the first pitch of the game to Mets 3B David Wright and the N.Y. TIMES' Kepner notes the Mets "handled Seaver just right -- he did not enter on a convertible, and there were no sappy tributes on the scoreboard." It was "just Seaver in an All-Star jersey, hamming it up on the mound for a moment and getting it there on the fly." There was "no contrived effort to make the night all about Seaver." Recent All-Star Games have "featured overwrought tributes to franchise icons by teams trying to replicate the magic of Ted Williams at Fenway Park in 1999; think Willie Mays in San Francisco in 2007, George Steinbrenner in the Bronx in 2008, Stan Musial in St. Louis in 2009." Meanwhile, the night "went just about perfectly for the Mets and the Wilpons' dream ballpark." The game "offered a glimpse of how the place could feel with every seat filled on a warm summer night with something at stake." Cardinals RF Carlos Beltran, who played for the Mets from '05-11, said, "It was a great atmosphere, a great vibe. It was beautiful to see, honestly. The fans were really excited" (N.Y. TIMES, 7/17).

More from the InfoPresse Mobile Day...
Malik Yacoubi from Mobilito was throwing mobile marketing stats all over his presentation, Au-dela de la voix... des applications qui depasent votre imagination (roughly translated as, Over And Above Voice, Here Are Some Applications That Go Beyond Your Wildest Imagination). The one that I'm going to be paying attention to is that, according to Malik, in five years, we'll be seeing an eleven billion dollar advertising industry on your mobile screen.
How do you feel about that? What if you did ask for (and want) it? Here's the billion dollar question: what type of mobile advertising will be so engaging that people will ask for (and maybe even pay for) it? (Hint: it won't be advertising. It will be content driven applications based on communities).
No need to answer so fast. We were asking that exact same question five years ago (see my last Blog posting, Are We Over Hyping Mobile Marketing... Again?). I still fret that Big Mac coupons on my mobile device is not the answer.
And here's the kicker, you had to see how annoyed people were when someone's phone started to ring... too funny. We're all here to learn about mobile marketing and yet all eyes are firing imaginary spears at the poor slob who forgot to turn their ringer off. Yeah, we're open to mobile marketing.

Bottle (12)
"An absolutely fabulous, great, broad-shouldered costume with juicy exotic fruitiness and an almost 76-like sensation of essence and fullness of body. A real fruit bomb that is going to give pleasure to many generations of wine-lovers. The funny thing is that this wine does not have even a trace of Dom Pérignon's typically toasted character as yet, despite its sweet mellowness. The most important explanation for this is probably the brief time since being disgorged, but also, paradoxically enough, the wine's gorgeous oiliness that makes it difficult for the toasted aromas to elbow their way out."

text: This opening module of the Power of Markets course covers the basic assumptions about market participants made by economists, the concept of opportunity cost, and the key determinants of supply and demand. We will then learn how to use the supply-demand framework to explain and predict market outcomes and to show how government policies affect those market outcomes. We will look at how quantity demanded and supplied respond to their key determinants in quantitative (elasticity) as well as qualitative terms. The last two weeks of the first module will investigate consumer behavior more closely and show how consumer choices are driven by the interplay of preferences and budget constraints.

Fourth of July Event at Martinsville Speedway Will Go On Rain or Shine
Martinsville, VA -- The Martinsville Speedway is gearing up for one of their biggest celebrations of the year Wednesday night, even though the weather is nowhere near ideal for a Fourth of July event.
Rainy weather hasn't slowed down crews at the Martinsville Speedway. An afternoon of checking and inspecting carnival rides only was dampened by mist.
"As long as it stays a little mist like this, it's not going to impact us that bad and we can continue to operate," said Jonathan Brooks, president of Wagner Consulting Group.
That's the hope for Speedway President Clay Campbell. In their 15 years of celebrating the Fourth of July at the Martinsville Speedway, they've had a few rainy nights.
"It's disappointing for number one the families and the kids that come out. Because these rides, they don't cost you anything to ride them, so the kids really have a great time," said Campbell.
While gloomy weather may close some rides like the slide, Campbell says a little rain will not shut everything down. With the exception of lightning and a severe storm, they still plan to have most rides running, a band playing, fireworks, and of course their food drive in full swing.
"It's good that we can have an event like this that helps give back to the community," said Campbell.
But safety comes first. That's why Brooks and his crew will keep a close eye on the sky.
"The first little bit of weather that we see as far as lightening or thunder, everything goes down for 30 minutes at a minimum," said Brooks.
In that time, they'll determine the fate of the rides for the night. Until then, everyone is hoping for the best.
"It's just a great night for families to have a great time here in Martinsville," said Campbell.

Marilyn Manson and Gucci Mane might not seem like they have a lot in common, but they both know a thing or two about being different, and they hit it off when they linked up at the premiere of Spring Breakers. So much so that they decided to make a song together. Hmm… should it be about being weird? About drugs? About being a rockstar? No, no, yet another thing that both have in common: an appreciation for wet pussy. It's called "Pussy Wet." It's as crude as you'd expect, but it's also pretty amazing to hear Manson and Gucci trade verses.

I found your blog while doing some "googling" for my wife's family. Given your background, I'll take the risk to ask if you might have some suggestions.

My wife's maiden's name is Barnes. I've been researching this line for several years using Ancestry.com records and also making 2 trips to court houses in Bristol Virginia and more recently to Salem Virginia and record repositories in Roanoke and Botetourt county.

I've traced my wife's line back to Aaron Barnes who lived approximately 1805 (between 1800 and 1810 birth). Aaron Barnes was a pretty influential resident of Salem. He is in all the early Roanoke County histories as a tavern owner, petitioner for the formation of Roanoake County, a constable of the new county and even a State Assemblyman from 1843 - 1844 when he apparently took ill and resigned. He died in Feb 1845. I believe it is very likely that his father was Thomas Barnes and his mother was Ingabo Ruddell of Botetourt County. The family naming conventions draws heavily from the family names using family names such as Byrd. Thomas Barnes appears to be a Junior.

Thomas and Ingabo married in 1799. They appear in the 1810 - 1840 federal census records and consistently the age ranged indicate that Thomas would have been born between 1770 - 1780. The records of Orange County, Augusta County and Botetourt County (which all covered the area near Fincastle and Roanoke) from 1740 - 1785 are filled with references to Thomas Barnes as a land owner (at Tinker Creek off of the Roan Oak), road surveyor and tithable supporter of road work, jury member, witness to deeds etc.

I've found him in the Southwest Annuls of Virginia, as a Vestryman in 1770 (which maybe means he was Anglican/Episcopal).

I've about exhausted the Ancestry.com records and it looks to me that the courthouse records are pretty well convered in these databases.

I live reasonably close to Roanoke and am thinking of making another trip for some in person research. I'm aware of the Botetourt records in Fincastle and looked there before. I haven't done much with regard to pre 1770 for Augusta County or Orange County before then.

Do you have any suggestions as to where to go from here?

Thanks,

Bart Breen

New fence goes up at Boedy park
1 / 2
2 / 2
Perham Rotarians cut down trees, picked up branches, raked leaves and installed a cedar rail fence at Boedigheimer Park earlier this month as part of a club clean-up project.
Rotary encourages its members to put "service above self." The club previously erected the picnic pavilion at the park, located just north of Dean's, and plans to add a walkway through the park in the future.
Materials for the fence were supplied by the park board.

Do We See a Pattern Here? Jim Inhofe Invites Another Controversial Author to Testify at Environment Committee Hearing
It seems Jim Inhofe is up to old tricks in the Environment and Public Works Committee. Tomorrow, the committee Inhofe chairs will hold a hearing on the Asia-Pacific Partnership, a six country agreement to boost private investment in climate technologies. The partnership is designed to help member nations reach strategies for improving energy security, reducing pollution, and addressing climate change. Inhofe has decided to invite as his star witness Bjorn Lomborg, controversial author and professor, best known for his book The Skeptical Environmentalist, which was widely criticized by environmental scientists. (Greenwire, 9/18/06) Looks like this could be a Michael Crichton repeat!
The Skeptical Environmentalist challenged the claims of the world's environmentalists, characterizing them as grossly exaggerated. The book received much criticism from the scientific community. (Oregonian, 8/21/06) In fact, after a group of scientists brought formal complaints against the assertions made in the book, the Danish Committees on Scientific Dishonesty, a body under
A number of science publications, including Scientific American, Grist, and Nature Magazine published extensive criticism of the book. The Nature critique argued, "the text employs the strategy of those, who, for example, argue that gay men aren't dying of AIDS, that Jews weren't singled out by the Nazis for extermination, and so on." (Nature, 11/8/01)
In addition, the Union of Concerned Scientists strongly criticized the book, claiming it to be "seriously flawed and fail[ing] to meet basic standards of credible scientific analysis."
It is no wonder that Jim Inhofe, renowned climate change skeptic, invited someone like Bjorn Lomborg to testify at a hearing concerning climate change and pollution reduction. After all, this is not the first time this has happened. In a 2005 Environment and Public Works Committee hearing on climate change, Inhofe called as his star witness author Michael Crichton, and tried to make his book, State of Fear, required reading for all senate members, arguing, "while 'State of Fear' is a novel, it is fiction, the footnotes are incontrovertibly scientific." (Congressional Transcripts, 9/28/05)
In fact, the book had been largely dismissed by the scientific community and the science employed in the book was dismissed as distorting actual research. "The best face I can put on this is he doesn't know what he's doing. The worst is that he's intentionally deceiving people as he accuses environmentalists (of doing) in 'State of
With Inhofe at the helm and skeptic Bjorn Lomborg the featured guest, this promises to be a circus hearing aimed largely at debunking the current science on climate change and global warming.

Mental Health
Have Mental Health Questions? Ask a Psychiatrist Online
Hello and thank you for contacting Just Answer:
It sounds like you are hurt by Stacey not being around. For you, as the mother in law figure, it is a very delicate situation. There is not much for you to do except be supportive of your son. Any other kind of intervention may be seen as a blurring of boundaries or meddling.
Unfortunately, I think this is for your son to figure out and has little to do with you, even though you care deeply about the situation. He may want to explore some of his relationship issues in therapy as you mention that this has happened to him before.
It is unfair for the granddaughters to feel guilty. It seems like your son may need to handle some of these issues on his own and not drag you or his children into it.
I hope this is helpful and best wishes,

Lesson Ideas
Time to get your game on! In this BrainPOP movie, Tim and Moby discuss the basics of game theory, a field of economics that formulates mathematical strategies for complex situations. You'll learn about the basic ingredients of any game, including players, rules, consequences, and payoffs. You'll see how game theorists use a matrix to record their results. You'll also find out the difference between the two basic categories of games: cooperative and non-cooperative. And if you think game theory doesn't have any connection to the real world, Tim and Moby will show you how you're already a game theorist...you just don't know it yet!
Heckscher-Ohlin Theory Economic Lesson Plan: The Trade Ruler Game
In this economics lesson plan, which is adaptable for grades 6-12, students use BrainPOP resources to explore how a country can gain from trade according to the Heckscher-Ohlin theory. See more »

Last night Obama said that Russian support of Serbia to block Kosovo independence would be "unacceptable," which means that he finds the illegal partition of Serbia to be acceptable–see how that plays in Cleveland. That means that he supports our government's violation of international law in recognising Kosovo, and then went on to suggest that the countries that have recognised Kosovo have "certain obligations" to stop Kosovo from being invaded. It's true that he didn't bluntly say that he would resist a Russian-backed invasion, but he implied as much. So he endorsed the administration's reckless recognition of Kosovo, where we have literally no national interest, and then compounded that error by saying that the recognition imposed obligations on us to defend the "sovereignty" of Kosovo. Obama supports the violation of Serbian sovereignty and the U.N. Charter, and then thinks that we have obligations as part of "the international community" to stop another state from upholding that sovereignty. Hegemonists have a very clear rule about state sovereignty: it is essential to international order when they want to make it count, and it is an archaic relic of the 17th century when it gets in their way. Obama has learned this rule quite well already.
Recognising separatist states, especially in Europe where our chief interest is stability, is how the Balkan Wars of the '90s became international conflicts that drew in outside powers. It is how the West could make the wars of Yugoslav succession into an occasion for isolating and humiliating the rump Yugoslavia and backing up the historic proxies of…Germany, bizarrely enough. It is through the persistent mistaken belief that outside powers have some stake in the conflicts of the Balkans that great powers collide with one another and risk a more general war.

A message from our CEO: SEO PowerSuite will continue providing rank checking dataLink-Assistant.Com | Posted in category SEO Tools
On Friday another SEO software house, Raven Tools, announced that they're ceasing providing rank data in their set of SEO tools:
"Raven has decided to remove unauthorized Google data from our platform. As of 5 p.m. PST (GMT-8) on Jan. 2, 2013, we will no longer offer Google rankings and are eliminating our SERP Tracker tool in its entirety. Also, we will remove all data provided to us by SEMRush."
As a business owner myself, I can imagine it was a hard decision for the Raven team, and we're sincerely sorry they had to make it.
Rank data in SEO PowerSuite
Over the weekend, we've got an overwhelming amount of support requests from our customers who want to know if we at Link-Assistant.Com are about to make the same decision.
Our answer is no. We'll keep providing ranking data in SEO PowerSuite. Though this data is not provided through Google AdWords API, we believe our users will benefit from it because:
- Our rank data is accurate. Rank Tracker has a set of advanced features to eliminate deviations that might occur as a result of Google personalization:
- Rank data is the core metric for SEOs. Although new metrics keep coming into play, it is rankings and reporting on rankings SEOs and webmasters long for in SEO software. And we'll keep providing those.
Special offer for Raven users
Commenting on the company's decision, many Raven users expressed regret and said they'll have to look for the replacement as they've been relying heavily on ranking reporting as SEO service providers.
For a limited time only, any current user of Raven tools can contact us to request a 5% on Rank Tracker and 10% discount on SEO PowerSuite.

I have a large collection of older raid arrays which support a feature the vendor calls automaid, i.e., disks spin down when not used. We have many files which are infrequently accessed and I'd like to stick it in storage pools which are constructed of this disk with this feature enabled. It will look like this:
- fileystem named FS is create using a large-ish number of SSD luns for the system storage pool, marked metadataOnly
- each raid array's LUNs are added to its own storage pool as dataOnly
- some of these arrays will be set to spin down when not used
- a policy rule will be written which will migrate unused data to this storage pool
I think this is all pretty standard. What I'm not clear about is how the filesystem changes when a migration occurs. For instance, let's say the filesystem tree looks like:
each of raid1, raid2 and raid3_automaid is a storage pool linked (mmlinkfileset) to NDSs that come from the same raid array.
The reason that I want each fileset to represent a seperate storage pool is that I want to limit the impact on the filesystem as a whole of the loss of any storage array. This data will not be replicated or backed up. The LUNs will be RAID 6 and I trust that the controllers won't corrupt the data, nor that we'll lose > 2 drives per array at once. Yes, I'm trusting but, by definition, though inconvenient, these data could be reacquired.
So, I run my policy rule which traverses raid1 and raid2 looking for files which haven't been accessed in > 3 months; when found I migrate the files to raid3_automaid. Let's say before the run I had a file:
which gets migrated. Will an 'ls /gpfs/fs/raid1/not_used_file.dat' still find the file? Or will it disappear from there and only be found at /gpfs/fs/raid3_automaid?
The answer I want to hear is that its name (pointer/inode) will stay in raid1 but the actual data will move to raid3*. (Perhaps it would be a good idea for me to not link the raid3* storage pool so that users never traverse into it?)
Thanks much
