.50 caliber circus
Lordy, there was a .50 caliber at the range today, and it was a sorry sack of sardines to watch.
I don't think the guy shooting it had been shooting much ever. He got to shoot what looked like a .38 special, a Kimber .45, and The Cannon. He eventually got to where he could consistently put his shots in more or less the same place on the target when shooting the Kimber. But the other two were just flat more gun than he could handle.
The .38 had CT lasergrips. While hubster and I took turns shooting our beloved Sig Trailside (already out of ammo for his new .45 and my .380 which I'm currently not speaking to, but that's another story) I watched this poor guy. The laser dot was all over the place, and the guy's grip was not real strong.
His shots with the .50 mostly did hit the paper, I think. Well, no... some of them hit the paper.
But he was a good sport: he handed it back to his buddy (who must have been the owner of The Cannon) and said "You know, I can't hit $&@% with this, but it sure is fun to make it go boom!"
That's the spirit
But it did put me in mind of our frequent advice to newbies, which IMO bears repeating again:
Shoot the largest caliber you can easily handle and accurately hit your target with.
The guy standing next to me had never seen one of these and asked what it was. I told him; he said "that would do a lot of damage!" Couldn't resist: I said "only if it hits something...." (I am sooooo bad). But as the hubster pointed out later, it's not really a question of it hitting SOMETHING, but rather hitting the RIGHT THING. If you buy a gun you can't control and can't be accurate with just because you think it's a "one-shot stopper" or some such, you may miss the BG and shoot into the schoolbus full of nuns that will, according to Murphy's law, be exactly where your mis-shot round ends up going to.
I found out today I can shoot hubster's new 1911 just fine, but I don't think he's going to let go of it very often for me to get a chance!
I will not be a victim

The Moth Gatherer Signs With Agonia Records
Sweden's The Moth Gatherer has inked a deal with Agonia Records. The band's debut album is slated for an April 2013 release, and a short and unmastered preview of the album can be heard below. The following press release was also issued about the band:
"The Moth Gatherer's music is hard to label, due to the band's non-one-dimensional approach towards the songs they create; the hardcore/experimental/progressive etiquette seems almost too laconic to fully do justice to the spirit of the compositions. The debut offers up long and complex tracks, but still surprisingly simple and compelling. Abundance of tempo changes and variations that surround the album bask in emotionally charged, progressive yet utterly melodic slower sections, addictive enough to stimulate the imagination."
"We just want our music to be an emotional explosion," comments co-founder Alex. "A lot of the songs are about death, missing people you loved who have passed away and losing hope in mankind. We want the music to make you feel like you can move mountains with it. I wish for that when people hear our music, they start to dream away."
The band is: Alex Stjernfeldt and Victor Wegeborn who both handle: guitars, bass, electronics, vocals, and drums. More...
Meadows End Splits With Guitarist
Swedish act Meadows End has issued the following announcement about parting ways with guitarist Stefan Sjölander:
"We have some bad news that will affect the way that Meadows End sound and exist in the future. Unfortunately, Stefan has decided to give up his spot in the band. Due to other obligations and projects he feels that he cannot give Meadows End the 110% it deserves. Stefan is an extremely talented guitarist and musician with great diversity and now he feels that he needs more than just Meadows End to fulfill his needs, therefore he lets his spot go not to halt the bands progress.
"This parting comes in an understanding and we will still love Stefan as a brother and of course wish him all the best in his other projects. Next Friday, our gig in Umeå will be Stefan's last performance with Meadows End. Thank you Stefan, the road changed while you were on board and you will be missed. We salute your honesty. Cheers and good luck!"
Stefan also issued the following statement: "I would like to thank everyone of you for all the support that you guys have given and give Meadows End. I would like nothing else than you to follow that track!
"This is a well thought through and very tough decision that has haunted me for a while but I cannot give Meadows End maximum priority anymore, that's why I've decided to let go of this dream.
"I really wish the band all the best on their continuing journey. We'll still hang out and pester each other like always but this still aches my heart a bit. Thank you so much, all of you! You're the best there is."
Kromosom To Release "Live Forever"
Melbourne-based ragers Kromosom have hooked up with Southern Lord Recordings for first CD release, "Live Forever." The following press release was issued about the band:
"Born in the smoldering wake of now defunct Australian crust acts Schifosi and Pisschrist, and featuring current members of Leprosy, Bloody Hammer and fellow Southern Lord mercenaries Nuclear Death Terror, Kromosom have kicked a massive dent into the international crust/punk/hardcore circuit working under the band doctrine: 'Noisier, nastier, rawer.' Through several vinyl-only indie releases and steady waves of international touring since their 2010 inception the band caught the attention of Southern Lord who now confirms the first CD release in Kromosom's discography with Live Forever.
"The bruising fifteen-track assault captures all of the band's material previously only available on vinyl, including their self-titled 12", tracks from the Hardcore Pollution split 7" with Isterismo, and the Paranoid 7," all mastered for maximum pandemonium by Jack Control (World Burns to Death, Severed Head of State). If this doesn't get you raging it's time to hang up your boots and join the rest of the sheep.
"Live Forever will hit the streets of North America on January 22nd, 2013, amidst steady, ongoing bursts of live actions through the rest of the year, as Kromosom are already confirmed to invade the continent once again this Spring for Maryland Deathfest, Chaos in Tejas and more." More...

Guitarist/producer Matias Kupiainen commented: "I have more or less lived in the studio for four months, obsessing over every detail. I feel very relieved that we are done and I am very happy with the material and the sound."
Vocalist Timo Kotipelto added: "Making the album this time was easier because we gave it as much time as it needed. We have worked our asses off to make this and we hope the fans will like it."
According to the press release: "The album has it all. From the typical melodic and powerful Stratovarius sound in 'Abandon,' to the aggressive and energetic 'Stand My Ground,' the album represents the new style of the band mixed with good old melodic power metal. Stratovarius' musical approach is today wider and richer than ever. The song 'Fantasy' sounds almost ABBA-esque with its catchy pop tune, but it´s powered by the famous Stratovarius metal sound, louder than ever. 'Out Of The Fog' integrates some folk music elements, with lyrics telling the story of a young person forced to march blindly into battle. The only ballad on the album, 'If The Story Is Over,' is a very emotional song with a grand arrangement that builds up to using the full band and ends with a small female choir.
"The title track 'Nemesis' is a typical Stratovarius song, with echoes of medieval melodies with powerful double bass drumming and the catchy pop melodies from this side of the millennium."
Kotepelto commented on the title track: "The title track of the album; with its modern twist on the myth of Nemesis, it tells a story of a preacher who gives each one what they deserve, good or bad. The song has a very nice riff, cool melodies and a great good old Stratovarius style chorus."
The first single, "Unbreakable," will be released on January 25, 2013 as a special EP. A preview clip and more info on the EP can be found at this location.
The track listing for "Nemesis" is as follows: More...

YProlog is a pocket Prolog engine written in 100% Java. It provides a number of fast and easy Java-Prolog interfacing functions that enables the Prolog database to be used like an SQL-type database. It has fast consult and retract operations, can "serialize" database contents into text, and can easily load and store tables or contents of Java objects. It is based on Jean Vaucher's XProlog.
JGame is a 2D game engine that makes multi-platform development easier. It runs on the Java JRE 1.3+ platform with optional OpenGL (JOGL) enhancements, the J2ME (MIDP2.0/CLDC1.1) mobile platform, and the Android (2.1+) platform. JGame features sprites with automatic animation and collision detection, a tile-based background with easy sprite-tile interaction facilities, automatic scaling, sound, game state, persistent storage, and game options. The engine provides an enhanced graphics API with a fallback to simpler and more efficient graphics on J2ME and plain JRE. A patched version of the JBox2D physics engine that runs on all platforms is included.
JGame Flash is an ActionScript 3 port of the JGame 3.5 API. It can be compiled with the free Flex toolkit. A Java-AS3 translator is included to make porting games easier.

I don't think this really adds much to the grind path when the grinder is functioning properly. When mine was choking and blocked up lower in the burrs, therefore slowing the grind, it certainly did however.
shadowfax wrote:30-40g is probably a reasonable guess.
This disaster resulted in around 25 grams, including a few whole beans that slipped through as I was removing the upper burrset. This was from when the grinder was largely choked, ie the beans weren't feeding through at all!
shadowfax wrote:In all honesty, Theodore is right--I should have gotten the Nino.
Theodore wrote:It is for having less stale coffee,that I have bought Nino,as they insist,that it has very small amount of remaining coffee.
I seriously considered getting the Nino myself, but speaking to someone in the industry led me to believe that some Sydney users had experienced reliability issues (ultimately its destined for a cafe, hopefully, so this was more of a concern than for home use only). That and the fact that there were no real reviews on the taste profile of the grinder (vs TGP), pushed me to the Mazzer. If I had the same choice again, I would be very tempted by the Nino, but I think it would still be pretty much 50/50 even after my bad start with the ROBUR E. The minimal ground retention claim of the Nino sounds excellent however, and would be a major bonus.

A unique matching is a stated objective of most computational theories of stereo vision. This report describes situations where humans perceive a small number of surfaces carried by non-unique matching of random dot patterns, although a unique solution exists and is observed unambiguously in the perception of isolated features. We find both cases where non-unique matchings compete and suppress each other and cases where they are all perceived as transparent surfaces. The circumstances under which each behavior occurs are discussed and a possible explanation is sketched. It appears that matching reduces many false targets to a few, but may still yield multiple solutions in some cases through a (possibly different) process of surface interpolation.

Another X7 option is the X7-VH in .308, starts around $359 at Buds
Heavy varmint barrel, adjustable target trigger, pillar bedded at the factory, factory recoil pad, fluted bolt...
and Sub-MOA right from the box
You can't beat the X7 in its Standard Form in the "under $1500 category"...
the VH version literally obliterates anything else on the market under $1500 bucks.
Buy it, you'll like it
Good save, thats actually the rifle I saw the video one
Definitely want this rifle.That way I can give up the PPS I'm saving up for and get both the rifle and a cheaper ccw (cm9, lc9, etc.)
My first rifle, which I bought early this year was Marlin 60 and was impressed with the quality and accuracy.

A little boy had to be cut free by firefighters after he got stuck in a laundry basket.
Emergency crews were called to an address in Withdean, Brighton, at around 1:30pm this afternoon.
They found the five-year-old boy wedged fast in a bamboo basket with his worried mother trying to pull him out.
Watch manager Richard Chamberlain said: "He was just playing but his leg had gone underneath his bottom and he was completely stuck.
"His mum had tried to get him out with washing-up liquid but it hadn't worked. He'd been in there for about 20 minutes by the time we got there.
"We were able to cut him out with a hand saw and everything turned out OK. It was quite an unusual call."
The little boy was unhurt during his ordeal.

Sacked Ratten leaves with class
Brett Ratten may be the AFL's latest sacked coach but his reputation as a man has never been higher.
For the second time in four days, the Carlton great handled himself with dignity and class as his five-year reign as Blues coach ended.
Carlton gave Ratten the option of sitting out the media conference on Sunday after his last game in charge ended with a spiteful 15-point loss to St Kilda.
But he faced journalists for nearly 20 minutes, ducking nothing.
It had been the same last Thursday when Carlton formally announced what everyone had expected.
The Blues say that is simply a reflection of how Ratten has responded to his dismissal.
Asked whether he was proud of how he had carried himself over the past few days, Ratten paid tribute to his parents.
"That's sometimes a reflection of your parents and my Mum and Dad ... now you are going to get me upset," Ratten said.
"My Mum and Dad are just bloody beauties and they have great work ethic, I couldn't have any better role models growing up."
Carlton provided a private box at the game for Ratten's family.
While the Blues fans applauded him throughout the game, Ratten decided not to go out onto the ground to acknowledge them after the final siren.
"I'm just a passing piece of history at our football club now," he said.
"I really appreciate what they (fans) were trying to do, but ... I didn't want to make it about me.
"We lost the game of football."
Ratten also said in his media conference that he would write a letter to each player, reflecting on their time together.
He repeated his enthusiasm to continue as a coach and was asked if the media had treated him unfairly.
"It is what it is ... it's not how far you fall, it's how high you bounce," he said.
There is also no room for bitterness.
"Where does that side of it get you in life?" he said.
"It's a good lesson for all of us - you actually have to take responsibility.
"I have some things to work on as a coach and how I do things."
Ratten also had no doubt that he would coach this last game.
"Why hide? I've done nothing wrong," he said.
He jokingly referred to Carlton's inaccurate score of 12.19 when asked if there were any emotional moments in his final game.
"There were probably 19 moments that had a downward spiral," he said.

Bruce's Custom Covers (Booth No. N3532) is promoting its line of custom-fitted covers for more than 90 helicopter models, as well as for nearly every airplane ever produced, here at Heli-Expo '13. "A custom-fitted cover for any aircraft or engine will serve to protect it from climate hazards, both in the hangar and on the ramp," the company said. For helicopters, the covers can also be fitted to air inlets, pitot and static ports and canopies, among other areas. Design variations are limitless, according to the company.
Benefits of custom-fitted covers include protecting and extending the life of the airframe, rotor blades, engines and windshields. Avionics will last longer because they are kept out of direct sunlight and the covers help prevent heat from building inside the aircraft. "An insulated cover directly saves on operational costs and downtime by keeping an aircraft ready for launch, thereby increasing its utilization," the company noted.

Instead of, you know, [being] bothered by this busy life, we should wear this, you know, civilization without, you know, being bothered by it, without ignoring it, without being caught by it. So without going somewhere, without escaping it, we should-we should have composure, you know, in this busy life." [That's from the Not Always So lecture]

Or, in case you missed the entire first season of HBO's "Game of Thrones", here's a six-minute video to get you caught up for the show's upcoming Season 2 premiere this April 1st.
Summers span decades. Winters can last a lifetime. And the struggle for the Iron Throne has begun.
It will stretch from the south, where heat breeds plots, lust and intrigues; to the vast and savage eastern lands; all the way to the frozen north, where an 800-foot wall of ice protects the kingdom from the dark forces that lie beyond. Kings and queens, knights and renegades, liars, lords and honest men…all will play the Game of Thrones.
The good times return with the second season premiere episode, "The North Remembers".

Price, Income & Unemployment Effects on Greek Professional Football
Based on data of 26 Greek professional football clubs of Division A' and B' for 16 seasons (1991/92-2006/07), we investigate the effect of sporting and economic variables on the attendance in Greek football stadia. Price, income and unemployment are found to be statistically significant in the small Greek football market, while controlling for classic sporting determinants of demand such as success, entertainment and promotion/relegation. We include two more dummy variables; one for the new stadia constructed for the Olympic Games of 2004 and one for the enthusiasm effect of the EURO 2004 victory by the Greek National Team.

What A TreatKind of pricey for me at least, I reserve this luxuriou bath foam for treats. The scent is exactly like walking through my lavender in the garden. So relaxing and makes my skin soft. I like that the scent lasts for hours on my skin. It's worth the money. — 7 years, 10 months agovhfvhf | 153 reviews
Great buy for the moneyI purchased this product for family usage because its a Perlier product, and because of the large size. I also purchased Perlier Lily of the Valley Bath. Not only are these two products excellent and nicely scented, but a 1/2 capful for bath goes a very long way. My family loves it! So far, I strictly use Perlier Honey Cream Bath for myself because I'm so in love with the product. I'd be "c...read moreheating" if I switched to Lavendar Foam Bath. But, because my family truly likes Perlier Lavendar Foam Bath, I'm rating this a 10. — 8 years, 2 months agoLady_in_Bloom | 60 reviews

For those with no dog in the fight, the Auburn Tigers will be the natural team to cheer for when they confront Florida State in the BCS National Championship January 6.
Natural because we love an underdog and because of the news revealed earlier this month by LVH Sports Book Director Jay Kornegay: There are 14 outstanding tickets with 1,000-1 odds on Auburn to win the title.
That's $1,000 returned for every dollar wagered.
"We do have some liability," Kornegay says. "But we'll be in a decent position when the game arrives." His voice betrays no insecurity. "I'm not stressed," he adds. "At all."
The truth, as serrated as ever, is that he need not be. "For one," says South Point oddsmaker Jimmy Vaccaro, "he's got a way out."
And a sizeable way at that. Kornegay's side of the jackpot, FSU, is the favorite, with the betting market forecasting the Seminoles to win by at least a touchdown at press time. All Kornegay needs to do is slacken his lines on the game to entice more action on Florida State.
It's harder to hedge your bet when you have the underdog. Nevertheless, Ken Thomson, a veteran sportscaster and handicapper, advises those 14 ticket holders to return to LVH, where, on account of their tickets, they'll find the most profitable odds on FSU.
"[LVH] could take a chance that FSU would win the game, but if Auburn wins, they would get burned," says Thomson.
"We'll see," says Kornegay, grinning. "We're in a position to handle our liability. My team and I are very confident."
Of course, they were also confident last January, when Kornegay and his team had posted those extravagant odds on Auburn. It's not just that the Tigers were fresh off a pitiful 3-9 season, but such bets—called futures—are akin to finding a needle in a haystack. They're foolish, say professional sports bettors, a means by which squares hand over their hard-earned money. Examples like Auburn are rare, and the publicity they generate only glamorizes futures, attracting more people to bet them. So even if Auburn wins on January 6, the house won't necessarily lose. For there's nothing biblical about Las Vegas; Goliath always emerges victorious.

Susan: I think the good news and the bad news is Hollywood's not political. The only thing they punish you for is getting old and fat.
Susan: I never think about humiliating myself. I keep focusing on wanting to do a good job.
Susan: I choose projects I can talk about for days because now you do publicity for as long as it took you to shoot the movie.
Susan: I feel I've always been on the outside and always on the edge of an abyss. The women I portray, and the woman I am, are ordinary but maybe find themselves in extra-ordinary circumstances, and what they do is at great cost.
Susan: Sexuality ... is something that develops and becomes stronger and stronger the older you get... If you can continue to say yes to life and to maintain a certain generosity of spirit, you become more and more of who you are.
Susan: I think the only reason I remain an actor is that you can never quite get it right. So there is a challenge to it.
Susan: If I were 22 and trying to build a career, I don't know who'd be watching the kids as happily as I do. It takes so much to get me to break out of domestic paradise. There's hardly anything that interests me as much as my family.
Susan: (on the movie Thelma & Louise) I was surprised that the film struck such a primal nerve. I knew when we were filming that it would be different, unusual and hopefully entertaining. But shocking? I guess giving women the option of violence was hard for a lot of people to accept.
Susan: People will like you for the wrong reasons your entire life, even if you don't have parents who are celebrities. They will like you because you have a car or you have money or your breasts are big.
Susan: You're so lucky in Ireland, England and Spain. Everyone there already knows what it's like to have inexplicable terrorist violence.
Susan: The thing that's bad about breasts is that you have to choose between having a mind and having breasts. It'd be nice if you could have both. Anyway, I think my breasts have been highly overrated.
Susan: The largest party in the United States is the 50 percent who don't vote.
Susan: It's always so painful to watch yourself. That never changes. I still sit there and think, 'Oh, that scene is missing? Wasn't I good? What happened there?.
Susan: I haven't yet had any plastic surgery, but I won't knock it. I think women have the right to do anything they want to their bodies that makes them feel good about themselves. It's hard to be in this business and be viewed on a screen that's huge. You can see every single line. But I think it's an aesthetic choice for the individual. I don't like it when surgeons take a perfectly interesting looking woman and she ends up looking like a female impersonator with these gigantic breasts. It's just so extreme and that worries me. I think everyone is looking the same.
Susan: My children were embarrassed at my Lincoln Center Tribute. I forgot they would show film clips and my children hadn't seen anything. Every time something a little racy would come on like 'The Hunger,' I'd look at my 13-year-old, who was shielding his eyes.
Susan: I'm certainly not an expert, but Tim and I just celebrated 17 years together, which in Hollywood years I think is 45. I think the key is just focusing on this one person and not keeping one eye on the door to see who might be better.
Susan: I remember going to great lengths to celebrate disappointments like not getting a job. I'd take whatever little cash I had and go out to dinner. I saw loss as an opportunity to change direction.
Susan: It's still not easy to find roles that offer more complex images of women. I do a lot of smaller parts that I find interesting - as opposed to the big, splashy movies that you get paid more money for.
Susan: I didn't realize that everything was supposed to fall apart at 40. So I just slid past 40 and 50. When you're an outsider and not paying attention to the rules the hurdles are a little lower.

Smile Key ring printed on the open school day @ PHTI Hamme.
As they where milling in alu on the 1st floor, we where printing a simular key ring on the 2nd floor ;-) This was to show the people that the product could also be made without chips or any other leftover.
The print was build with 45% infill meaning using less material to build a product.

AI am doing a wedding cake next weekend with the lace effect. The bride wants buttercream with fondant lace, so that raises a few questions for me. I usually freeze buttercream tiers before I stack them. If the fondant lace is already on the tiers will the fondant sweat when it comes back to room temperature? Because of timing issues, I need to have the tiers already decorated before I deliver the cake and stack it on site. Is there an easy way to accomplish this?
Also, is buttercream sturdy enough to hold the fondant lace or will it pull the icing off the side of the cake?
Fondant lace will stick to crusting buttercream but you need to apply fresh buttercream to the back of the lace pcs. to get them to stick. You can freeze the cake all decorated but defrosting it properly is the key. Box the cake tiers then wrap the box in an unscented garbage or plastic bag. Two days before you are traveling with it, remove it from the freezer and put into the refrigerator but keep the box and bag on. Then the day you're delivering, take the boxes out of the refrigerator and let come to room temp. Any moisture resulting from the freezing and refrigeration will form on the outside of the plastic bag. Then remove the bag and open the box.to finish the thawing process. Yes, this is a long drawn out procedure but there's no other way - other than not refrigerating. Some of my friends just put a plastic bag over the cake when they take it out of the refrigerator and make sure that the bags opening is pressed tightly against the counter or table it's on. Hope all this helps. Is buttercream sturdy enough? - I guess it depends on how thick your lace is and how many pcs. you are putting on your cake. I honestly don't believe you'll have any problems. Just make sure you crumb coat well so that the icing is really stuck to the cakes surface. Brush off your cake surface before crumb coating for best adhesion.
AThanks for the advice, but I don't think I explained myself very well. I have always put buttercream tiers in the freezer for a while to firm up the icing before I stack them to avoid messing up the buttercream. Then I can stack the tiers without leaving fingerprints, etc. or I can adjust it if I don't get it exactly centered the first time. Then I let the cake come to room temperature after it is assembled. If I do this with the fondant lace already on the tiers, will it cause any problems?
Oh............that's a lot easier. Not a problem at all.
AWell, I love that answer!! Thanks!:)

I believe the following was probably posted by one of the other watchers, but they didn't date/sign it. --Janiejac 02:18, 3 June 2011 (EDT)
I live across the river from Trimble County. Wise's landing was located directly across the river from Saluda. William Rowan Jackson lived at Corn Creek in Trimble County which is pretty much directly across the river from Saluda. LG&E bought the property at Corn Creek several years back and all of the graves (or probably mostly just the headstones) were moved to the IOOF cemetery in Trimble County.
It is said that William was buried in a cast iron casket with a glass top, wearing his civil war uniform. It is also rumored that William was so faithful to the confederacy that people were not permitted inside his house if they were wearing the color blue. Possibly family lore? I've also heard that when the graves were moved that the "movers" broke the glass top on William's casket.
Eliza Jackson's grave stone is also located at the IOOF cemetery. I have a list of those headstone's, which are as follows. Many are hard to read, and some are just metal markers of unknowns. I haven't been to the cemetery in a few years and I can't remember if this is a complete list. I seem to recall a few other infant stones.
John Jackson ??/23/1871 - 1873 Robert B. Jckson 1867-18?9 Arthur Jackson Sept. 14, 1866-Dec. 24, 1870 E.J.J. W.J. M.J. Eliza Jane Born of W & M Jackson Born Jan. 24, 1840, Died Jan. 29, 1857
Wm. R. Jackson 1832-1903 Margaret Jackson 1843-1908
Willis Jackson Dec. 20, 1805- Dec. 18, 1870 Mary Jackson Oct 29, 1815-Nov. 6, 1892
Infant daughter of E.G. and Ella Jackson 1903
Elizabeth Jackson 1877-1959 Tabner Jackson 1880-1958
Abner son of Elizabeth and Tabner 1910
Mother Father
Also I noticed the question of Cloudyly/Cloudsly Morningsly Jackson. This child died by the age of two. Strange name, but I've seen it twice, and again I'm having trouble recalling where exactly, possibly the family bible, and once on a census. Once the name was Cloudyly, and once Cloudsly Morningly? Morningsly?
Some photos of James Jackson, son of Willis Jackson are located on Denny Jackson's site @ http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/j/a/c/Denny-C-Jackson/?Welcome=10
Just a tidbit; My father looked up the land records on Willis's property and it was transfered to Willis from a Moreland... Ruben Jackson, possible brother to Willis, married a Lucinda Moreland.
And also, in the early 1800s Kentucky's Counties shifted many times. One family, never moving, could live in Oldham County one year and Trimble County the next.

1 1/2 to 2 cups fresh, firmly packed herbs (a single type or a mixture of herbs), plus additional herbs to identify the finished product
3 to 3 1/2 cups red wine, white win, or sherry vinegar
1. Wash the herbs in a basin of cool water. Remove any discolored or insect-damaged leaves. It is fine to keep the leaves on the stems. Dry the herbs in a salad spinner or pat dry. Be sure the herbs are completely dry before proceeding.
2. Pack the herbs into a clean canning jar. Pour the vinegar over the herbs.
3. Store in a cool, dark place for 2 to 6 weeks, shaking the mixture every few days. Begin tasting after 2 weeks. When the vinegar is flavorful, it is ready.
4. Pack a single fresh herb into a clean storage bottle to identify the flavoring in the bottle. This is optional, but very helpful.
5. Strain the vinegar through a coffee filter to remove all herbal debris, and pour into the storage bottle. Cork or cap, label, and store in a dark cool place. The vinegar will keep indefinitely.

Eto'o settling in to unusual surroundings
There was a time when Samuel Eto'o and Jose Mourinho were portrayed as sworn enemies who were destined to spend their careers as opponents rather than allies.
Back in the days when Mourinho's Chelsea and Eto'o's Barcelona side were embroiled in explosive and acrimonious Champions League battles, the pair appeared to have differences that could never be reconciled.
Yet after one of the most expensive transfers in football history, Eto'o finds himself under Mourinho's command at Inter Milan, with the Italian club pulling off a masterstroke by securing the services of the proven Cameroonian goal poacher and pocketing the inflated sum of £40m in exchange for Swedish hit man Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
The fact that Ibrahimovic is only regarded as a truly world class performer in Italy and has rarely looks a threat against Europe's best in the Champions League made the financial terms curiously one-side in the favour of Inter, with Eto'o content to have made the switch to the Serie A champions.
"It felt as if it was the right time to move on to another important championship and look to meet some fresh challenges head on," begins Eto'o. "It's like I'm starting from scratch again, which is an exciting and inspiring prospect.
"I have been in Spain for my entire pro career and had achieved far more than I could ever have predicted. I had five largely fantastic years at Barcelona and came to maturity there as a world-class striker. I won big trophies and had the pleasure of lining up with some of the biggest names around in football.
"Obviously, in the end people say I was forced out and with any working environment, there will be tensions and disagreements. Still, I don't want to dwell on the negatives. The satisfactions completely outweigh the bad moments: the incredible noise made by the 110,000 fans at the Camp Nou when were winning, the great attacking football we played. They are magical memories to take with me."
Inter are certainly getting a very different type of striker by swapping Ibrahimovic for Eto'o, with the new man quick to point out that his job is not to fill the void left by the departing hero.
"I don't like being compared to other players, whether past or present," he protests. "It doesn't make sense. I'm Samuel Eto'o and I have my own qualities, my own track record, which I think stands up to any sort of examination.
"My career has been a good one, probably better than good. I've won everything possible during my time at Barca and very importantly, I've always been present on the big occasion, so I will not be concerning myself with what Ibrahimovic did at Inter. My job now is to reward the faith my new club have put in me."
Eto'o is often portrayed as something of a high maintenance character, with his unbreakable self-confidence allowing him to come across as arrogant at times. Mourinho is hardly the manager to be linking up with if you are that way inclined, but the striker insists he is happy to be working with 'The Special One', even after their previous disagreements.
"The ties between Chelsea and Barca were played in a hot, highly-competitive atmosphere and at such times, words can be misinterpreted," he reflects. "I'm proud to play for a coach who has proved himself a winner at the highest level, in England, in Italy and with FC Porto. He's charismatic, has strong opinions and wants to be the best. I can relate to that.
"It's obvious to me that Mourinho is one of those natural coaches, a guy who knows exactly what he desires and how to go about getting it. Players like clarity and they get it with him, so I can easily understand players wanting to go that extra mile for him.
"Maybe we are similar in many ways. All top professionals are perfectionists. When things don't go as they should, we look for the reasons, so we can put it right. Some people don't realise how driven we are, how much we want to win and to improve. I'm 28 and no way do I think I've fulfilled all my potential."
So Eto'o is convinced he can shine in Serie A, even though some have suggested the slower pace of the game may not suit the striker. "I feel most comfortable in a team which moves the ball around sweetly and goes at the opposition as much as possible," he concedes.
"I've heard that Inter have a power game, but I wouldn't agree with this assessment from what I've seen. We have more than enough players who are technically gifted and move well. We have an intelligent coach and intelligent players. Given time, I'll adapt to my new team-mates and them to me. I'm especially looking forward to working alongside Diego Milito as we are both killers in front of goal.
"Inter is a club with a great name and a winning tradition, while Serie A is still a top league. I don't go along with the idea that Italian football is in decline and I wouldn't be here if I believed that.
"The special thing about Inter is their intense ambition and I share this. They are the undisputed leading club in Italy, but they really crave the Champions League. The club are tired of early elimination and I'm honoured that the Inter president (Massimo Moratti) sees me as a key component in the mission to win in Europe.
"What we have to be careful about is making the Champions League our priority. We must not lose sight of the other vital objective, which is defending the Serie A title. When you start to pick and choose the games you are especially keen to win, you get into difficulty."
Eto'o could have earned much more money if he had agreed to a switch to Arab-backed Manchester City this summer, but it seems his ambition was more important than his bank balance.
"City have a very interesting project," he adds. "They want to end the dominance in England of Chelsea, Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal. However, they could not offer me Champions League football. Top level European competition is a must, something I cannot do without."
Some footballers would be nursing bruised pride if they were levered out of the club riding high at the top of the European game and used as a makeweight in a deal for a another striker.
The ever-confident Eto'o has probably come to terms with his demotion by convincing himself that he was the more valuable facet of the deal that took Ibrahimovic to Barca.

DD is only 5 weeks, but a lot of her night wakings are pee-related, I'm pretty sure, so I'd like to start leaving her diaperless. I have an old wool sweater I sewed into a mattress cover and lanolized, but I'm not sure how to fix her up for nights without a puddle-fest, keeping her warm, etc. It's been CRAZY hot in LA since she was born, and she's been fussy, so she's been sleeping in nothing but a diaper and a receiving blanket and cosleeping next to me. (We have a sidecarred crib, but she gets so fussy that she's been sleeping in our bed every night.) I'm thinking of putting her on top of the wool sweater and prefolds and wearing nothing but a shirt and babylegs, but I feel like leaving nothing covering her nethers will be 1) cold and 2) messy - when we leave her diaperless during the day, it always runs off into her leg creases, up her back, etc. She kicks and twists in her sleep, so I can't just lay a prefold on top because it'll fall off in 10 seconds... Thoughts? Maybe just wrap her in the wool sweater? But then it will get poop on it...
I'm bumping up your post for attention. Anyone have experience to share?
We co-slept and night-EC'd our little guy as well. I was always concerned that he would be cold, but even if he was naked he would kick the covers off so I think maybe we are more concerned about this than they are. Baby's solution to being cold at night is to snuggle closer to mama...
So we had DS sleeping on a wool puddle pad (when he got older this turned into a pair of wool blankets under the sheet). In warm weather, he just slept naked. During the winter I got a wool long sleeved shirt (this one from Nova Naturals: http://www.novanatural.com/woolens/wool-long-sleeve-shirt)- the wool wouldn't feel cold or even really wet if it got sprayed some. I think they may have really long ones at Continuum Family online for cheaper (http://continuum-family.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=11_26&products_id=335)... Then if it was REALLY cold, he also wore wool terry chaps (from the EC store online, but I don't think the terry is avail anymore) with a prefold tucked in, or with ECA pants over. Again the wool wouldn't feel cold or yucky if it got wet, and the terry was not too hot or cold. The prefold is easy to change out and easy to drop down to potty. Same with ECA pants (when your little girl gets bigger and starts rolling, and practicing rolling all night, the prefold won't stay put, around 4 mo, which is when we invested in 8 pr ECA pants, 4 non-waterproof for day, and 4 waterproof for night) I also sometimes did just a prefold tucked into a wool diaper belt (avail on EC store or CF as well), with some of my old wool socks with the feet cut off for leggings. This was probably the cheapest option and worked great while DS was still little. Probably since the wool terry pants aren't avail anymore, I'd get the long CF wool shirt, and use wool sock leggings... I'd offer you DS's old terry chaps, since he doesn't use them any more, but they probably wouldn't fit till next winter- DS was fat!
We peed little man into the tub when he would get restless but as he got older we started to use a deep quart yogurt container by the bed (DH's job to empty) so he didn't wake as fully. Not sure if that would work with a girl, but worth a try maybe. My sister pottied her son into a big rubbermaid container by the bed- lol- whatever works!
There was a period around 8 mo when DS's first teeth came in that he was having such a hard time sleeping that getting up to pee as well was more than he wanted, so for a few months we used ECA pants with lots of inserts to keep him and us as dry as we could. Gradually we got back into nighttime pottying. Like most things parenting, there is no formula that works all the time, except maybe "be flexible".
In the end I definitely think it was worth it to night EC- if we tried to avoid the potty we would all be awake for a couple of hours of restless baby until he finally wet himself- much easier and quicker and everyone back to sleep faster just to potty and get it over with. DS is 28 months now, and has been a grad for about 10, I still potty him once at night and we rarely have a wet bed. These days, if we do, with the wool under the sheets the bed never gets wet, so we just put a towel over the wet bit and continue on! Change it in the morning:)
Good luck!
"That's the way it is, if that's the way it seems to you."
"Cosi e se vi pare."
Luigi Pirandello
We use diaper belt and a flat or prefold, partly because that's the easiest thing to get on and off one handed when I'm half asleep and partly just because that's what we do during the day. Currently the boys sleep inside a wool sweater with the sleeves cut and sewed a bit smaller. The bed stays dry, the boy stays warm.
Here's a picture of our youngest in his warmie. His bottom half sleeps under blankets with us. We have easy access to change or potty him.
For now you could wrap a receiving blanket around her lower half, that wouldn't be knocked off as easily as a prefold.
