The Message Of The Family Name
by Anna Royer
Why have been spent such hours of toil To patiently finish this book, To glean a rich store from dim annals of yore, Upon the future may look?
Was it merely vain pride,bidden to work, To search for lost links of the past, To find the whole chain of an old family name, And upon it due honor to cast? Vain pride would have failed to finish this task Which tonus is shown on these pages; 'Tis a far grander aim that has sought to explain A family borne down through the ages.
'Tis a record of those lives have been just, Who a pathway of honor have trod An increase which shows that heaven bestows Its blessings on children of God.
And a message is carried through each seperate page, A message set forth from the dead, There is duty to bear ere there is merit to share, A pure life to be aimed at and led.
As you read the fair records of those of the past Whose name is now carried by you, Dare you tarnish a name you received without stain? 'Tis your duty to pass it on true.

A memorial is something intended to preserve the memory of a person or an event. It is something designed to keep in remem- berance something else which is worthy of peculiar honor or mention. Genealogy is a record of individual or family descent. It is an enumeration of ancestors and their descendents in the natural order of succession. The preservation commemoration of the names of the lineal descendents of Sebastian Royer is the chief aim and purpose in publishing this book or register. By the aid of this register Sabastian Royer's numerous de- scendents can with certainty know not only the arrival of their worthy ancestors, but they can with equal certainty find their right- ful place in the decent, and note their relation to the collateral families of the line. Yet more. By the aid of this register many other noble and eminently deserving families related by intermarriage can trace their ancestry. Most of us naturally have the desire to know something about our progenitors--their names, the date of their arrival in this coun- try. and what country they came from. This register is the key that unlocks the door for scores of families to ascertain the very in- formation which they so much desire to obtain. And since the Bible commands us to "honor" our forefathers and revere their memories, every family represented in this book--directly or in- directly--should secure a copy of it.
I am glad Sebastian Royer came to America, I am glad that I am a Royer by name, and I am glad that I am one of the great army of descendants who can trace their linage to old Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Again, I am proud to be associated with, and related by inter- marriage, to so large a number of noble and worthy families of other names. There are the Pfautzes, the Hertzlers, the Bollingers, the Landises, the Graybills, the Witters, the Germans, Stoners, Waybrights, Moyers, Gibbles, Frantzes, Zugs, Kreiders, Beav- ers, Groffs, Brubakers, Deppens, Millers, Erbs, Weisses, Roops, Englers, Ebys, Fricks, Hostetters, Stauffers, Conrads, Hautzes, Kerns, Gifts, Wolfs, Griebs, Balliets, Geistwites, Brumgards, Smulls, Kaufmans, Bolenders, Gramleys and other good familiies --I say,when I think of being related to all these large families, then I feel grateful and happy, and indeed honored, to be one of so large and highly esteemed a group. I suggest that this large company of interersted ones render due honor and and reverence to our venerable, departed fellow brother, Michael Zug, as a friendly recognition and appreciation of his in- tense interest and untiring zeal in gathering the material for this very excellent geneological register; and that we--one and all-- take our hats off and make a bow to our friend and brother, J. G. Francis, who, by his unwearied efforts, completed, edited and pub- lished these records, thus making them accessible to us all. God bless him now and evermore.
JOHN GROFF ROYER Mt. Morris, Ill.
PUBLISHER'S NOTE:- The writer of this Introduction is a leading Bishop in the Church of the Brethren, and was for twenty years President of Mount Morris College, Mount Morris, Ill.
The following records of the Royer Family had their origin in a collection of Michael Zug,the father-in-law of the author. After Mr. Zugs's death, we were importuned by Royers to publish his records. In 1912 we undertook the task, with the thought of only editing them. A considerable number of pages printed, in which he is referred to as author,when it became apparent that the records were altogether too to give anything like satisfaction. Three years and more of the systemmatic and fairly thorough investigation were given to the task, Which resulted in the editor becoming the author. This is sufficient explanation to make clear why in places Mr. Zug is referred to as author. We have not been equal to the expense of reprinting the pages al- ready in print. The reader will encounter numerous abbreviations. All we have to say is, consult the table of abbreviations. The roman nu- merals prefixed to the names designate the generation in America from the immigrant ancestor inclusive. This is Mr. Zug's arrange- ment,as is also the plasn of cross references, both forward and backward. The letters A. A. stand for Adjusting Appendix to be found in the back part of the book, and has to do with references forward not yet in type whose page at time of printing could not be determined. The dividing of the work into volumes,books,parts,chapters and sections is our plan. Volumes have to do with descendants of the second generation; books, with those of the third; parts, with those of the fourth; chapters, with those of the fifth; and sec- tions, with those of the sixth. We have been able to include the descendants of but two of the sons of I. Sebastian Royer in this volume. It will be noticed the right hand pages are headed with the ancestors of the fourth generation. The outline of Families comes down to the sixth generations; and is really a family tree shorn of its twigs. If you find yourself lost in the woods while consulting the Outline of Families, recall the whom the desired party was married, then consult the index, which is made up of family names other than Royer. We aim to give credit for information in loco, so no acknowl- edgements are made here. Here only would we mention our printer, Mr G. Holzapfel of Cleona, Pa., from whom we have re- ceived many helpful suggestions and considerations. Permit a word in regard to the blank pages for continuing records at the end of the book. First of all, connect up with the Outline of Families by writing at the top of the first page the name of the ancestor of the sixth generation, giving his page in the Outline of Famolies and also in the body of the book. By so
doing you will have placed your foot on the first step of the stair- way leading to the top. A work of genealogy to the individual may with reverence be likened to the field in which is the pearl of great price. The field is bought not so much for its acres, though they be "acres of diamonds"' as for this one pearl. Each stone, however, may be the pearl of great price to someone. This book aims to stimulate a healthful interest in ancestry. It holds out no assurance of a vast fortune in the hazy past, which the ship will surely bring in, if you only part with a few dollors. Godliness in ancestry is the best fortune . Yet it is not enough to be children of Abraham. To be the real children of Abraham, we must do the works of Abraham; and each one of us should be able to say, "A greater than Solomon is here." We fail to honor our fathers when we fail to keep records of them. Endless genealo- gies are profitless, but our Lord's ancestory is given twice in the New Testament. We confess to errors of omission and of commission. Be charitable with us. We have done our best. THE AUTHOR. Lebanon, Pa. Sept. 24, 1926.

wat the heck?
The shape of the heart is iconic of love, but it barely resembles the organ in our chests that the Greeks called the seat of the emotions. Why is that?
Ancient coins from Cyrene, a city-state where Libya is now, show an impression of a silphium seed; it's a shape that you know very well. Silphium is the now-extinct "giant fennel" of the genus Ferula. Silphium was the center of ancient Cyrene's economy because the plant was prized for its medicinal qualities, which ranged from treating coughs to being used as an herbal contraceptive. It was widely used throughout the Mediterranean.
Silphium only grew in the wild and could not be cultivated. Much like the heart it symbolizes, attempts at domesticating the plant may have been the cause of its demise.
wat the heck?
@john rhea: Really? I just so happen to have a quote of yours from another article. It reads, "I have cross bred my mexican hairless and my cockerspaniel. I am hoping to one day, show my hairless cock on the W.K.C.D.S." I think that based on this cretinous, vulgar joke, you have absolutely no room to talk. Moron.
I think most of you, including Taboondox, are unemployed idiots with too much time on your hands. Read through all these comments. I'm embarrassed to be around you. And Taboondox, you aren't "genious", you're "moron".
Wow! What a "plot" – well conceived and executed!! Bravo!!!
And – thank you for my "Disney conclusion". 8^)
Your point was SO well made. Even after your explanation, people were still deriding the original post (proving that they don't fully investigate an issue before speaking up).
Hope you are once again able to move freely about the cabin (your snowed in situation has been rectified).
I think I like you very much, sir.
and @genious: you say youre a genius but u can't spell anything properly! let me guess…ur from 1 of those three states?? well one things for sure you can't spell! (no offence) There are heaps of comments about u, maybe u should clean up after urself and check wat u do next time, k! i bet ur just messing with us to generate more comments, thats unfair so stop it
p.s. happy valentines day for when it comes
gosh, hearts are pretty! thx dicitonary com
u always read my mind
@A Pair O' Docs: You might say that the whole circumstance and turnout of this plot was ironic.
@TaboondoX: You!? You were genious all along!? What an inconceivably dastardly plot; you fiendish scoundrel!
After making those remarks I bet "genious" is just messing with everyone, no way (s)he can't be that stupid. But who knows! Life is full of surprises!!! Lol
Looks like you'll get your Disney conclusion, John. As it would turn out, I was the infinitely moronic "genious" after all. I know what you all might be thinking? "Why on Earth would he do something like that?!" For one, I did this to prove that on an article that's supposed to be about love, you all would be incapable of following the theme; especially if there was someone to let the crap hit the fan. Thank you for making examples of yourselves (most of you), you've entertained me. I mean, it was the perfect plot, and the fact that I made a critical comment to myself made the plot all the thicker, plus it made the deception even more opaque than it already was. Now then, the second reason why I did this is because we (the inhabitants) were snowed in where I live for the past week. I had nothing better to do at the time. Keep on truckin', folks!
Quite the uncharacteristically short article, HotWord. I'm surprised, but not displeased.
I must say, however, to see the Dictionary community degrading in such a manner (here's looking at you, genious); well, it just breaks my silphium.
you ppl are sooo weird for reading comment after comment then again im weird for doing anyways….
@ random 9th grader:
IM A 9th GRADER TOO!!!!!
Wooooow. You guys comment almost as bad as angry Youtubers *haha*. St. Valentines WAS a real guy, and so was this "heart-shaped plant" thing. They went well together, so someone somewhere decided "Hey! Let's have a reason to be loved on a certain day of the year!". Now they are both major contributors to the holiday known as Valentines Day.
BTW: Say "PAIN-IS" really fast, and you get why that is my name.
Stay in the loooooooooooooooop
Im on the genius's side!! *woot woot*
I can not believe that we, as humans, caused the extinction of the symbol we all use and "love".
It is story when an history, a fact is misunderstood. Unicorn, for example, it is rhinus, an African animal looks like a horse with a horn (Unic+horn); its meaning came from Greeks when Alexander's Empire was in Africa. Heart is shaped like it was a head of a lamb. People there were small human beings (spermatozoid). They thought little lambs (explaining to children) hit inside the chest. By shapes many names of human body have meanings of tools…
Misses Sand Hand, all in your dreams. Hearts-silphium — whatever it seems,
so please switch on your magic graphic, misses sand heart, send us some traffic. Idgaf.
i dont get it . . . -.-
To Moot,
It's pronounced sil-fee-um, with a soft "ph" as in "elephant".
Obviously, a safe, effective herbal contraceptive like silphium was in high demand (as it would be today). It was also difficult to cultivate, so the ancients over-harvested the wild supply and the plant went extinct.
every body sucks in here and a baby whith a brain could tell people that human hearts don't look like this
lol! The text was interesting. I never knew about that…Cool. But my fav. part was when i read all the comments! They were hilarious! Who cares if you have proper spelling(except for that one guy…genious ? yea he really did have bad spelling, and if he/she wanted to say thoes things WHY WOULD YOU READ THE TEXT??) anyway… Can you believe that these comments were have only been posted a couple of days…I'm writting this on Feb. 10th and already there are TONES!! Lol. it was a great joy reading this and I just realized that no one will probably be reading MY comment so why should I still be writting it??.
Ok seriously BYE!!
The reason why the heart is shaped the way it is, is because the heart we know today is the simplest shape of a butt when someone bends over. Sex = Romance, as Romantic Language = Body Parts.
This shape dates back to Paleolithic art and is universal.
It breaks my heart to see that I am surrounded by this many idiots.
Judging by your spelling, you are stupid, as well.
@random 9th grader
Think before you stereotype please. Just because the guys in your class are stupid does not make every guy on the planet a moron. I frequently use big words and confuse guys and girls with them.
STFU you dumbass troll. Someone needs to throw your computer off of a roof.
Better picture!
I hate to nitpick at other people, but I was very offended at some of the comments on here. "Genious" was one of the most offensive to me, as I live in one of the three states that he/she listed; however, (though I know they were only trying to help) many people telling him/her that they must've come from the states he/she was putting down also came off as offensive to me. Again, I know you all were only trying to help, but you also inadvertently emphasized his/her point.
But, in an effort to keep this post from being completely focused on the actions of previous posters, I would like to note that it was a very interesting article. I normally do not have much time to read through lengthy articles, so the succinctness of this one was refreshing. I always did wonder how the heart's symbol came into being when the organ looks almost nothing like it. Perhaps in an upcoming article you could explain why the heart itself is associated with strong emotions such as love and heartbreak? I would very much enjoy reading about a subject such as that. As always, this article was wonderfully written; I can't wait for the next one!
I dont think that was even Miley seriously…..
why is everyone being so hypocritical, i mean its not like you have never miss spelled anything?
I am totally BLOWN AWAY by the pettiness prevalent throughout these comments! And though I truly don't understand exactly what point 'genious' desired to make in the first post (other than to be mean), it should be OBVIOUS that much care was taken to misspell that extremely (i.e. – 'twas done intentionally!).
Thank you, Roxanne, for being ('til now) the only voice speaking to that probability.
'mark V' – points well made – what a waste of time getting upset over misspellings, etc. – I'm kind of amazed at myself for having actually taken the time to read down the entire list. I guess I kept hoping that (like a bad movie), it would get better – and that perhaps 'genious' would reply with a very eloquent and loquacious comment and thereby thumb his or her nose at the ridiculous replies.
Anyway – enough time wasted.
By the way, thank you for the original article and its intent. Sorry you had to endure the madness that followed its posting.
St. Valentine did exist and he was a wedding performer. the miracles he performed were bringing couples who had strayed far from each other back together again. he was arrested for performing a wedding in the middle of Rome so when he was in prison, he called to him the couple and performed the wedding outside of his cell. he then escaped and was recaptured three more times after that
I'm not so convinced that this explanation is correct, there are several "theories" of origins…..none of which I think anyone knows for sure my be correct….but it's all fun trying to guess.
Miley, why don't you send genious and his homeboys tickets to your concert.
Yeah, the blueberries are a mystery to me, too. Regardless, I'm curous about St. Valentine's Day. Catholic's require that to become a saint you must perform 2 miracles. I'd like to know what miracles St. Valentine performed and if he ever really existed. Or, is he a creation to make revenue for greeting card, jewelry and knickknack companies to hock their "heartfelt", but useless wares?
If he is wrong, let him be wrong.
Nothing you do will change his outlook,"genious" is an irrelevent line of text a thousand miles away. While he may be wrong, that is a subjective matter and from their position, WE are the irrelevent lines who dont know what theyre talking about.
Let stupid lines lie. getting worked up acomplishes nothing.
I think its a him… Most of the guys in my class are very illiterate. I hate it. I really like using large words. And then they don't know what it means! Same with some of the girls. But ALL of the guys in my class are illiterate. Ugh.
ohh thts what i always wounder and see it grows in wild as love tht cant be growns intentionaly love the information
u gay.
and the blueberries are in the shape of a heart… in an article about hearts. duh.
youz a bunch of gay little girls

Wow! All this comments over a little thing. Also my birthday is today!
First of all, What the bill is with all of the dumb comments. sewiuswy guys and four all yous guys hoo cant spelle yous neids to take sum lessens
An important part of the Egyptian soul was thought to be the Ib, or heart. The heart, not the brain, was thought to be the seat of emotion, thought, will, and was key to the afterlife.
The seed of the silphium had an image on it just like our Valentine hearts.
Wish I knew how to pronounce silphium.
… and Genious can't even spell his/her own name! If he/she could, it would be GENIUS! Geez, not just pot calling kettle black but making a total fool of him/herself too …
Ok… Girst things first. NO ONE CARES MILEY. I'm not a big fan. Ok… got that out of the way. So first, what the hells with the blueberries?! They are irrelivant to the article. And for Big Time Loser, your not a loser. If any one's a loser it might as well be me. I'm a nerd too! :3… pervy face! Irrelivent, but oh well. Ok, so the blueberries, WHY?! THEY ARE OF NO RELIVANCY!!!!!!! And another thing, if we cared enough for the world the silphium would not be extinct! Oh well I guess. Another species of plant we will never get to see…
Don't we wonder how an herbal contraceptive works? Perhaps we could have a discussion on Viagra versus silphium.. Would that be like ying and yang? Hard and soft?
I think @Genious' (sic) incorrect spelling is intentional. I can't help but read through the lines that s/he knew exactly what they were doing. It took them some time and thought to make those errors. They should have signed themselves " Ingenious ".
Wow just…lol
Genius-For someone who can't spell, you should not be calling anyone stupid. A good two thirds of your statement was horribly wrong.
@R.M.: Yes, but the whole point is that the heart isn't "never"-ceasing. To further a point, your heart does periodically take short breaks so that it can continue fulfilling its purpose. Besides, if the heart wasn't cessative, humans would never perish. We'd be older than God himself, so to speak.
@genious: There are things wrong with your post on several different levels. Though, digressing from my usual technique of nit-picking people's posts, I'll summarize my thoughts about you by saying that you're the epitome of a hypocrite.
@Bigtime Loser:
You probably are, my friend, but the trick is not to let the whole world know it; it's called IMPRESSION MANAGEMENT.
"Much like the heart it symbolizes, attempts at domesticating the plant may have accidentally lead it [TO] its demise."
I never knew that attempts could be made to domesticate a heart. In fact, what exactly do you mean by domesticating a heart, in the first place?
I heared from one source that the origin of the 'heart' shape is the shape a woman's buttocks and thighs make when she bends over. I wouldn't be surprised.
@genious You're not any smarter. Until you learn how to spell Arkansas, Kentucky, and Tennessee, then you can speak.
Anyways, although a short article, it is quite interesting. But, what is the meaning of "heart"?
I was told it was supposed to represent 'the female buttocks'?? Maybe just a myth then…
This is very creative…I love it.
Wow! I like this, though I feel bad about what happened to the plant, it would have been a great help specially for medical purposes.
Taking care of our heart is like nurturing our souls, physically and spiritually.
HAHA! I have stuck my fingure inside of a cows heart….it looks the same as us humans,well kinda.
speak english, man !!!
That's pretty cool, if you think about it…
And hello to all my fans! I'm giving a concert in May right in Virginia, so come from far and near! Thanks so much!
One would think that readers of this web site would be more intelligent,but that would not be correct judging from some of the comments.
@genious: Yeah, and you're SO smart for someone who can't even spell.
Hey! Don't mock Arkansaw! Bill Clinton is from there! You love Bill Clinton! You love Hillarry too, so shut eet! Oh well. The true valentine shape comes from the "bleeding heart" flower. A lot of you communist on this forum are bleeding hearts who want to genocide 150 million people for the "greater good" while wringing your hands over "social inequities" and advocacy of special interests groups!!!11
To: genious
Well thankfully, you failed to mention my home state. However, I fail to understand why you feel you have to right to belittle the intelligence of others when you yourself misspelled eleven words in your "rousing" conclusion.
You write: "accidentally lead it its demise." That ought to be "led to." But a fascinating article, and MrGrif's comment on "irony" is engaging.
this is for Bigtime Loser hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha lol. rofl
to bad to sad oh wow looser
thanks for clarifying that, rm.
"Lead" is misspelled, i.e. mis-used, in the last sentence. Hope the "genious" [sic] noticed it – else s/he's in the low percentile of Arkansas, Kentucky, and Tennessee.
why is it that that peticular flower is seen as the origin of the hart symbol?
There are other flowers that have that shape like Dicentra.spectabilis.
"led" not "lead"
"Genious" you can't text talk, don't bother. Every heart stops at one point, just as every good thing must come to an end. We killed this plant…We cause a lot of bad things, don't we?
To genious – guess you're from one of those three states then, you're so stupid you can't spell. You'd think people on dictionary.com would take more care.
[...] — and licorice thrown in the kennel, — with the other doggerel. — Rousseau says, "Silphium Seed, that's heartless, unlike the transplanted heart kind. — It's only a chemical reaction — in the [...]
How does the picture of blueberries relate? It's not even mentioned in the article.
But why did the silphium seed's shape come to be associated with the heart as a symbol of love? Now there's a question that hasn't been answered…
damn us humans!!!!!!!!
To Genious. Please tell me you're trolling. I really, really, REALLY hope you're not that dumb. I live on the opposite side of the world, and even I know that it's spelled Arkansas. I am just going to assume you did this deliberately.
still dont no why heart shape looks like the shape that hearts normily look like
? ? ? ?
Of course it can stop while you're alive. Ever heard of a heart attack? Sometimes the heart stops dead during a heart attack. And open heart surgery stops the heart while the blood is pumped by an external, mechanical pump. I'm just saying that, if you're going to ask for specificity and correct facts, look out for someone like me.
To genious:
Which of those three states are you from?
to r.m.
c'mon it was a decent point to make. a decent follow up line as well if you're into stupid puns, which i am….rock chalk!!!!
thats whats ironic
@genious look at your response
To. Cyberquill/
It "never" stops "while you are alive."
the hart is ironic of wat the hicks of arkansaw kentuckie end tinesee eat. caniballs! i think thats y ppl who live in those three states are SO stuppid.
i am such a big time loser.
The "never-ceasing" organ in our chests? Ever heard of death?
Too bad this plant went extinct. This really breaks my silphium.
Wow… drove it to extinction trying to cultivate it… the irony.

UW Hospital and Clinics Among Top Five Teaching Hospitals
Contact Information
UW Health Marketing and Public Affairs Department
A nationally recognized "scorecard" for measuring the quality of major teaching hospitals put University of Wisconsin Hospital and Clinics in the nation's top five best-performing institutions.
The annual assessment measured the performance of teaching hospitals in several areas known to be essential to delivering excellent care consistently across a wide variety of populations. This year, 88 academic medical centers were included in the analysis.
UW Hospital performed well on the five key measures that the University Healthsystem Consortium (UHC) assessed.
Mortality: comparing the observed death rate to the expected death rate for patients in a wide variety of medical specialties
Effectiveness: indicating whether patients are receiving all care for which they are eligible; how many need to be readmitted within 30 days for a related condition
Safety: based on eight patient-safety indicators used by federal health-quality agencies
Equity: assessing if hospital performance is consistently strong between male and female patients, white and non-white and people of varying socio-economic levels
Patient-Centeredness: measuring how highly patients themselves rate their experience at the hospital
The annual ranking is produced by UHC, a national organization representing approximately 90 percent of the nation's non-profit academic medical centers.
"Breaking the top five in this assessment-which is based on strong evidence of what works to improve patient care-is a tremendous achievement for our organization," says president and CEO Donna Katen-Bahensky. "I am especially proud for our physicians and staff, who share with our leadership a focus on results and accountability."
Katen-Bahensky says the ranking verifies that UW Hospital performs well across the board, not just in particular areas.
"Consistently high performance across all areas is a central goal of the quality improvement effort nationally and certainly is of highest importance to UW Hospital and Clinics," says Katen-Bahensky.
The other four institutions in the top five are Methodist Hospital, Indianapolis; Rush University Medical Center, Chicago; St. Luke's Episcopal Hospital, Houston; and University Medical Center, Houston.

Sunando Sen, 46, a native of Calcutta, was pushed to his death by a woman heard mumbling in the path of an oncoming No. 7 subway train in Sunnyside, NY, Thursday night. Sunando Sen had recently started his own business.
The woman later fled the 40th Street station and police have released a surveillance video hoping she will be recognized. The woman reportedly leapt from the bench as the train approached and pushed him onto the tracks. Sunando Sen was pronounced dead at the scene.

Sutter Solano Medical Center, part of Sutter Health, announced recently a $6,000 donation to the Food Bank of Solano and Contra Costa County.
The contributions mark the fourth year of donations by the not-for-profit network to local food banks and comprise a portion of this year's $255,000 total donation benefiting 29 food banks throughout Northern California.
Food banks say that monetary donations help maximize the amount of food available for the hungry -- in many instances a $1 donation can translate to approximately $5 worth of distributed food.
"I'm very pleased to give what we can to our local food bank, especially when so many families are in need," said Terry Glubka, CEO of Sutter Solano Medical Center in Vallejo. "I've asked the food bank to use our $6,000 donation to purchase food for people in our Solano County community."
Sutter Health and its employees are very active in helping those in need in Solano County, officials said. Sutter employees supported two important programs organized by the Solano County Office of Education -- school supply and winter apparel drives to collect items for homeless children. Sutter was also a major sponsor of the Budweiser's Families Helping Families Car Show to raise funds to purchase food for needy families. In fact, on Nov. 16, Sutter employees joined the team at Budweiser to package and deliver the food purchased with the proceeds from that event. All this is in addition to the more than $22 million Sutter Health contributes each year in community benefit and charity care.
"I'm proud to work with such a great team of dedicated employees," says Glubka. "People who care for people -- both inside our hospital and out in the community."

We featured this guy last year when he performed for the CMJ Music Marathon last year at Littlefield in Brooklyn (WordSpit The ILLest on aEM). He graced our blog for a reason. His flow is sick. His bars are crazy. He represents a part of what hip hop is missing. He's finally back, dropping his new single called Tough Luck. Check it out below.
Produced by Coopac Shakur
Artwork Attached: by Tystarr
In what could possibly be categorized as one of the most long-awaited returns for artists on the come-up, Wordspit is finally back, and with a vengeance.
From the face of your favorite McDonalds rap commercial to your favorite America's Got Talent contestant, "Tough Luck" is proof that he's not only versatile, but serious about his career and image. As the first release off of the August-anticipated mixtape, Wrath of the Illest, "Tough Luck" is already causing a stir.
Aggressively demolishing the Coopac Shakur produced track, Wordspit proves with one record why people have been steadily rooting for him all along. As one of the more hardcore tracks on the project, it's the perfect send-off as a message to the rest of the rap game: "Here I Am!"
We are grateful for your support in the past, and hope that you will continue with us throughout this new arising journey. We have more merchandise, songs, and videos in the near future! We're excited and enthusiastic for the surprises to come.
This is only the beginning…

Hundreds are rocking for Jasmine at Fakenham Town Football Club today
PUBLISHED: 13:39 26 July 2014 | UPDATED: 13:39 26 July 2014
Hundreds of rock fans are celebrating a brave Fakenham school girl's passion for music and bravery in her battle against a rare disease.
The Rock 4 Jasmine music festival, named after nine-year-old Jasmine Lewis, is being staged for the second time today at Fakenham Town Football Club.
Jasmine was diagnosed with Juvenile Dermatomyositis (JDM) seven years ago.
She is one of only a handful of known sufferers of the disease in the UK.
Rock 4 Jasmine raises money for the paediatric rheumatology department of the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital, where she is treated.
Nine bands are due to perform and there are various children's activities taking place.
People can still get tickets on the gate.
Funds raised at the festival will go towards research into finding a cure for JDM and Mr Lewis hopes the event will also raise awareness of the little-known disease to ensure other sufferers can receive early treatment.
Visit this website tomorrow for a photo gallery from Rock 4 Jasmine.
Don't miss Monday's EDP for a 12-page picture special, featuring the best of Norfolk's weekend events.

Workers Compensation for Permanent Disabilities
There are worker's compensation laws that ensure an employee will receive compensation for any expenses incurred due to an injury on the job. Those laws differ from state to state, but all states include compensation for not only medical bills, but rehabilitation, if necessary; lost wages; and even compensation for retraining and/or reduced wages in some cases. Sadly, some employees incur permanent disability while on the job, and while those cases are much more complicated, there are procedures for receiving the appropriate compensating. Sometimes it is necessary to consult with an attorney to clarify if your case qualifies for worker's compensation and if your rights are being honored.
Permanent Disabilities
There are a number of injuries and illnesses that can be included in the compensation for permanent disabilities under worker's compensation laws. Those laws also vary by state, but they generally fall into a few major categories.
- Temporary disabilities, which will heal and allow the employee to return to full employment at some point
- Partial permanent disabilities that can allow the employee to perform some job functions, but by no means the same tasks they performed in the past
- Total permanent disabilities that prohibit an employee from working at any job in the present or in the future
In some cases, it can be difficult to ensure that the employer's physician will correctly classify a job-related injury. At that point, it may be necessary to consult with a worker's compensation attorney to ensure that your rights are retained.
Permanent Injuries
There are any number of injuries, or even illnesses that can occur on the job that can lead to permanent disability.
Some of the more common causes of permanent disabilities can include:
- Heart disease
- Spinal damage
- Vision problems
- Hearing loss
- Loss of limbs
If you have been permanently disabled due to an injury at work, you should file a worker's compensation claim immediately. If you meet any resistance from an employer, their physician, or the insurer, you may need to get expert help from an attorney to determine your next step.
Permanent Disability Benefits
If you do face disability due to a job-related injury, there are specific benefits outlined in your state worker's compensation laws. Moreover, while these laws differ from state to state, they fall into some similar categories.
- For temporary disability, generally the employee is awarded two-thirds of their regular pay, for a specified period
- For partial permanent disability, the employee generally receives two-thirds of their previous salary while rehabilitating or retraining for a job that they can perform in their condition
- For total permanent disability, there is generally a lump sum payment which depends on a number of elements, including the type of injury, the age of the victim, and the earning-power lost, to name a few
- Permanent disabilities due to a job-related injury are tragic indeed; and depending on how such a claim is handled, it may involve thousands of dollars. If you are not sure whether your injury is being compensated appropriately, you have the right to contact an attorney to guide you through the process
Pay Careful Attention
When someone has a serious injury that constitutes an emergency, there is nothing more important than getting the correct diagnosis and care. There are times when an employer's doctor and/or insurer may attempt to make you accept a diagnosis that does not address all of your injuries or disabilities. You may need to consult an attorney to help you understand your options.

Sheriff's deputies spent the night Saturday transferring 225 inmates from the old 90-bed jail into the county's new 387-bed jail, located off Georgia Highway 211.
Deputies used an inmate transport bus on loan from the Gwinnett County Sheriff's Office to move the inmates between 10 p.m. Saturday and 3 a.m. Sunday without a hitch, said Maj. Todd Druse, a spokesman with the Barrow County Sheriff's Office.
The move was conducted at night to minimize security risks, Druse said. Winder police officers diverted traffic from the route.
The new jail is part of the county's $52 million Criminal Justice Complex. Barrow County Courthouse workers moved into new offices there in April.

Making of the audiobook Marketing Lessons of the Grateful Dead
Today the audiobook version of Marketing Lessons from the Grateful Dead: What Every Business Can Learn from the Most Iconic Band in History was released on Audible.
On the #GDbook Audible page, you can listen to several chapters free. Find the link just under the book cover image.
My co-author Brian Halligan and I went into the studio to read the book ourselves. We sort of felt like rock stars. To give you a taste if what the experience was like, we made this short video documentary. Direct link to video on Vimeo.
Thanks to Kenny at Elephant Music Group in Boston for his hard work on this project.
Yey! So stoked you guys are reading this yourselves. From an audiobook lover, it makes a massive difference! Can't wait to listen to it!
Hey Tara - Glad that our reading it makes it more interesting for you. Thanks for stopping by.
Hi David,
wow! Thanks so much for the letting us have a taste of what you do! I'm looking forward to that E-book :)
Great little vid, this is the type of thing that would go on the DVD extras, haha. Audio editing is labor intensive! I've heard mixed reviews on whether people can listen to audio books in their car, some folks say they can't concentrate.
I'm reading the book now and enjoying it, will have a review up soon. Thanks for your insights. I never would've pegged you guys for Deadheads! I would've been but was a bit late and had to settle for Phish. :)
thaks Valerie
Justin - The entire audiobook process took much longer than we had thought. Brian is into Phish too.
Looks like fun! Nice guitars in that studio...
All I can say is You Guys Rock!. Is there a tour in your future?
Looking forward to hearing what you have to say. Just wonder where the tie-dye shirts are?
Thank you for writing such an incredible book. I coincidentally bought Marketing Lessons from the Grateful Dead and the New Rules of Marketing and PR, not knowing both books were authored by you.
Just amazing how a bunch of "stoners" were ahead of the curve in so many ways. Looks like they are finally getting credit they deserve. Excellent concept for a book.
If I can tie a concept from both books, Dick's Picks was a response to make sure that the best content was easily spread, similar to having a "Editor's Choice" or "Most Popular" list on a blog so readers can find the best content right away. I've incorporated many of your concepts into my blog.
Thanks all. It was definitely a fun project.
Gregg -- good luck implementing the ideas!
Been waiting for this one! I'm so glad it's finally here!!!
This is great stuff and I'm enjoying it. That said, us aging punks need marketing lessons from the Ramones or Sex Pistols. Maybe I'll start that one...
Rsomers - that would be a fun book. I'm a punk fan too. The Ramones played my high school in May 1976!


text: I've noticed that there are some fans stating that they would like us to have Winston if we can't work something out on draft day to pick up Ferguson. In my opionion Winston is overated and after seeing Colledge play in the Senior Bowl I think he would be a much better pick for LT. He handled himself very well in that game and looked very good in the pasing game. Plus he has that mean streak in him from watching him you can recongnize immediately. From all reports Winston's stock is falling but we will learn moer from the combine after he has a fairer evaluation. Below are just a few Pros and Cons about each player that has been scouted. Winston: Scouting Report by Teamryco Email him... Pros: The guy has good feet and a strong inside technique. He has played top competition and done well. He has shown good work ethic and strong desire to play after his injury. Cons: He gets beat on a regular basis on the outside. While he has good feet, he gets overpowered on his 2nd or 3rd step outside. He could get exposed in the NFL if he doesn't correct this fatal LT flaw. He needs to make better use of his long arms. Overall: Vastly overrated right now. He has a good work ethic and desire but should not be a first round pick and will need some serious coaching to be an impact NFL player. Scouting Report by Brad Price Email him... Pros: Great size, athletic, quick thanks to his tight end days, good feet, very physical, smart, potential like no other. Cons: Major knee injury as a junior, has trouble with fast defensive ends, still hasn't completely mastered the tackle postion. Colledge: Scouting Report by Entropy Email him... Pros: 4 year starter. Good strength, nice athleticism. Durable. Hard worker. Mean streak. Sound pass blocker. Cons: Questionable competition. Would be nice if he bulked up some. Played in pass happy offense so not much experience drive blocking. Overall: A great project player who has all the intangibles, but probably needs some time to become a better run blocker, and to hit the NFL weight room.

FX has teamed up with Matthew McConaughey's production company, J.K. Livin, for a new comedy project. POP QUIZ! Of the following laid-back terms terms, which one will appear in the blockquote below? (A) Carefree. (B) Free-loving. (C) Free spirit. (D) Freebird.
Tentatively titled Kick Ass Militia, the single-camera comedy is based on source material by JR Reed, an old friend of McConaughey's. It centers on two brothers whose divergent views are always pitting them against each other on their Malibu compound– one a survivalist and one a free-loving cult leader. ["That's right, man, just a couple of brothers chillin' on the beach, and one of 'em's always harshin' the other's buzz. To comedic effect, of course."] Marc Hyman is writing the script and is executive producing Militia, now in development, with McConaughey. [Deadline]
The correct answer is (B); however, the judges also would have accepted a drawn-out fart noise in conjunction with a wanking motion.

I am NOT a fan of Easter. I'm not talking about the Easter we celebrate in church so you can stop that angry letter-writing campaign right now. I'm talking about the big bunny that delivers eggs and candy. Who is this guy and why is he so interested in giving my kids a sugar rush?
Let's be honest, the Easter Bunny is about as random as holiday characters get. It's like someone took a Twister board & just SPUN to come up with him. It could've just as easily been the Easter Badger who hides small tinfoil wrapped wheels of cheese in your yard.
This isn't really about the Easter Bunny though.
I hate Easter because I screw it up every year.
There was the year that my daughter woke up & looked right at me as I placed her Easter basket next to her bed.
"Look what I found outside your bedroom door," I said.
There was also the year we completely forgot to hide the eggs outside. I hunted for eggs with the kids in the backyard while my husband furiously hid them in the front.
Or the year that we ran outside in our pajamas to search for eggs, blissfully unaware of the door closing & locking behind us.
There wasn't much of a SAVE that year. Just some sullen kids shuffling around in nighties while the "Friends with Keys" were tracked down.
So, when I make my "Easter" list this year, it will include important questions like "What fancy dresses will the girls wear to church" and "Did you buy the Paas Egg Dye kit?"
The question in the back of my mind though will be, "What is going to get screwed up this year and could it possibly ruin Easter?"
And if it's REALLY bad, will that awful Easter Badger show up?

So, how come the last few bolts to the top were removed a few years back? I remember getting on it a long time ago, and it was completely devoid of holds up there to the top...Was it that it really only went to the 7th bolt, or what, and then the rest was arbitrarily bolted hoping it would go?
Just curious...

During the last few weeks, Greece has suddenly been faced with a new political problem. The issue has been forced by those who had no interest in bringing it forward, i.e., the Republicans. The new situation has been created by those who, in March of this year, tried to overthrow the Tsaldaris government by force. The outcome of the unsuccesful revolt is well known.
In the beginning, the Greek Parliamentary elections had the aspect of the usual testing of political opinion, with the expectation that the government would be strengthened. But suddenly, about four weeks before the elections, at the moment when censorship and martial law were lifted, the country was engulfed by a wave of monarchial sentiment. After some vague illusions in the foreign press—trial balloons—a good deal of public opinion, several political leaders started a campaign to call George II back to the throne.
At present, the situation is somewhat curious. The governing party, the People's Party, were the fighters for a monarchial regime during the whole time when Venizelos, the leader of the Republicans held sway. However, when two years ago the People's Party gained the majority, Venizelos was only too willing to yield power into their hands, on the People's Party promising to uphold the republic. Premier Tsaldaris gave this pledge and formed the new government.
After the March insurrection by the Venizelists, a faction of the People's Party, led by Metaxas, issued a program which demanded the immediate restoration of the monarchy. They contended that this was the only means of re-establishing tranquillity. Tsaldaris, adhering faithfully to his pledge, replied that the people themselves would have to decide by a plebiscite. This resulted in a rift in the People's Party. The moderate elements were in favor of a plebiscite after the election, whereas Metaxas was striving for a majority at the election in order to effect an immediate restoration.
The parliamentary elections therefore confronted the voters with the task of choosing between Royalists and the only Republican Party, led by the ex-dictator General Pangalos, and two National Socialist Parties, imitating Hitler, and the E.E.E., the well-known nationalistic anti-Semitic organization. The latter group, however, has not much chance of sending deputies to the Chamber.
The opposition, i.e., the Republican parties, which once formed the Venizelist parties, abstained from taking part in the elections. The result of the elections gave Tsaldaris his great majority and he has now announced his decision to hold a plebiscite.
What is the position of the Jews?
They, as well as all other inhabitants of Greece, desire above all quiet and internal peace. During the twelve years of the Republican regime, Greece has had twelve different governments, more than ten revolutions, or attempts at revolution, the official dictatorship of General Pangalos, the veiled dictatorship of Venizelos, etc. The air is saturated with revolt; trouble has broken out again and again in the life of the country. The people are at their wits' end. They want some years of peace without the constant menace of civil war; they want to bring their affairs into order, without constantly being harrassed by Political problems.
As always in cases of disorder, the Jews have suffered more than the others. They desire ardently a truce between the two hostile camps of Hellenism, the Republicans and the Royalists. The Premier is very popular with the Jews, for his government has promulgated a number of measures favorable to them..
It is significant that three of the four Jewish periodicals of Salonica openly, advocate a restoration of the Monarchy, while the fourth maintains a strict neutrality. The antagonism between the Jews and the Republicans started when the Greek army conquered Salonica and the New Provinces. At that time the Jews were accused of having poisoned Greek soldiers, plotted against the Greek army, etc. Only recently M. Jassonides, one of the chiefs of the Venizelos Party at Salonica, openly accused the Jews of Salonica, while speaking in the Senate, of high treason, i.e., of having demanded in 1912 the intervention of the Austrian navy against the Greek army which came to conquer the city.
The intellectual leaders of Greek Jewry have for a long time tried to participate in the political life of various Republican parties. When all these parties formed the Venizelist Bloc, the Jews, under the influence of their intellectual leaders, gave nearly all their votes to Venizelos. Even after the pogrom of Campbell (a suburb of Salonica) in 1931, the Jews voted for a Venizelist mayor.
However, the Jews fully dissociated themselves from the Republicans, when, beaten at the general elections, the Venizelists of Salonica started a virulent anti-Jewish campaign in which the whole arsenal of anti-religious and anti-racial propaganda was hurled against the Jews.
But the Jews, like the whole Greek population, want peace. As Jews they want to see the end of the disorders which were caused by the anti-Semitic agitation. They therefore have to fight the anti-Jewish parties. They do not want to be the bone of contention between the political parties which try to get their votes either by intimidation or by violence.
The Jews are demoralized by the political instability, and by the economic crisis to such an extent that their only wishes are to be left in

After having last season cancelled, the Duke Blue Devils still made it to this year's semifinals. With a 16-2 season, Duke has gone from being on the hot seat to being media darlings.
Duke's Matt Danowski has 91 points (42 goals, 49 assists) heading into this weekend's NCAA Final Four. (Courtesy of Duke Athletics)
None of last year's contenders (Maryland, Virginia, Syracuse and UMass) made it to this year's Final Four. Three coaches will make their first-ever appearances -- Tambroni, Delaware's Bob Shillinglaw and Duke's John Danowski.
In the first game at noon on Saturday, unseeded Delaware (13-5) takes on No. 3 Johns Hopkins (11-4). Delaware has several Baltimore natives on the roster, including face-off master Alex Smith (Boys' Latin) and senior midfielder Dan Deckelbaum (Owings Mills).
Smith has won nearly 74 percent of his draws and also was named the Colonial Athletic Association Player of the Year. He is a lock to be named to the Division I All-American team.
Deckelbaum is a blue-collar, athletic midfielder who tallied three goals and an assist in the Blue Hens' 10-6 triumph over UMBC in the quarterfinals at Navy-Marine Corps Stadium last Sunday. He comes into this weekend with 26 goals, good for second on the team.
Deckelbaum has help from a gifted senior middie hailing from Surrey, British Columbia. Jordan Hall, who had three goals against UMBC, has 26 goals on the season and is second on the team with 37 points.
Senior Adam Zuder-Havens leads the Hens' attack. He played his junior college ball at Herkimer and has 35 goals and 46 points on the season. On defense, senior Rob Smith is as sturdy as they come and one of the strongest players in the nation.
The key for the Blue Hens will be the play of senior goaltender Tommy Scherr, a graduate of Mount St. Joseph. Scherr has a 58 percent save record.
If the Hens have a major weakness, it's on extra-man opportunities, as they have only converted 21 percent. However, they are outstanding on man-down defense, allowing just 18 percent.
Johns Hopkins would love to face Duke again in the finals for a chance to avenge an 11-9 regular season loss at home. However, Cornell also would make for an interesting match-up since Blue Jays coach Dave Pietramala spent three seasons coaching the Big Red.
The Blue Jays had some rough spots in the 2006 season but are peaking at the right time, winning seven straight after losing to Duke April 7. The most impressive of those wins came last Saturday in the quarterfinals at Princeton, where the Blue Jays completely dismantled a solid Georgetown team, 14-6.
Junior Kevin Huntley, who had struggled most of the season, had a field day, scoring five goals on nine shots. Huntley's shooting percentage for the season has been just 23.5 percent, but if the attackman has his confidence back, Hopkins will be tough to beat.
The Blue Jays are deep and talented offensively, one of the reasons they are in their 27th national semifinal and fifth appearance in the last six years. It all starts at the top with junior Paul Rabil, one of the nation's best midfielders who has a great combination of power and speed. Rabil leads the team in scoring with 25 goals and also has 21 assists.
The Blue Jays also have two great freshmen attackman who could be the x-factors this weekend. Steven Boyle, an attackman from New Hampshire, is second on the team in points with 35 (22 goals, 13 assists), while Michael Kimmel has 20 goals from the midfield spot.
On defense, senior Eric Zerrlaut is returning from an ACL injury, but managed to play all 15 games and picked up 29 ground balls.
The Blue Jay defense is anchored by senior goaltender Jesse Schwartzman, who hasn't had a great year, but has come through in the clutch nearly every time. More importantly, he has won a championship (as a sophomore), so he knows how to get it done in front of big crowds. Schwartzman has a 56 percent save percentage this season.
The key will be how Hopkins handles Delaware's Smith on face-offs. The Blue Jays have won just 52 percent of their face-offs, with Stephen Peyser (94-of-169) having a little more success than Jamison Koesterer (68-of-138).
Cornell is a great story. To get to the Final Four, the Big Red had to defeat a pesky Albany team in arguably the most entertaining and captivating playoff game so far. It took a John Glynn goal with 4.8 seconds left in the first overtime to lift Cornell over Albany, 12-11, last Saturday at Princeton Stadium.
Cornell's high-powered offense, averaging nearly 14 goals per game, is led by sophomore Max Seibald, a Tewaaraton Trophy finalist. Seibald has been hampered by a foot injury suffered against Towson, but still managed two goals and two assists against Albany. The midfielder has 17 goals and 19 assists on the season and can dodge as well as feed. He should be mostly healed by Saturday.
On attack, the Big Red can match anybody's top three in the nation. Senior David Mitchell leads the team in goals with 43 and is second in points (52). Senior attackman Eric Pittard leads the team in scoring with 32 goals and has 29 assists. He also made the game-winning pass to Glynn in the Albany game. Glynn is a feisty junior on the first midfield, who has 23 goals and 22 assists.
On defense, the Big Red has been sturdy, allowing fewer than seven goals per game. One of their top close defenders is local product Mitch Belisle out of Severna Park High School.
Cornell has been inconsistent on face-offs, winning just 49.9 percent. Sophomore Tommy Schmicker is the top face-off guy, winning 53 percent (140-of-264) of his draws.
The key will be the goalkeepers' play and the Big Red have one of the best, if not the best in the nation, in senior All-American Matt McMonagle, out of Bryn Mawr, Pa. McMonagle has a sterling save percentage of 62.8 percent and has allowed just 6.69 goals per game.
Duke (16-2) sat out last year's NCAA semifinal in a year in which many expected the Blue Devils to compete with Virginia for the national title. At this time last year, Danowski was recovering from a heartbreaking loss to UMass in the quarterfinals at Stony Brook, as his Hofstra squad blew a five-goal lead in the fourth quarter and wound up losing 11-10 in overtime.
Danowski took the Duke job after 21 years at Hofstra and had plenty of familiarity with the team's star attackman, his son Matt Danowski. The senior, who leads the NCAA in points, is favored to win the Tewaaraton Trophy.
In just two tournament games, Danowski has 19 points, including 10 against North Carolina, as the Blue Devils came back from a 6-1 deficit to defeat the Tar Heels, 19-11, last Sunday at Navy-Marine Corps Stadium.
Danowski, who has accumulated 91 points (42 goals, 49 assists), is more than just a feeder. He has size, quickness and is a strong shooter, though not always accurate (24 percent).
One player who is accurate is Zack Greer, the nation's leading goal-scorer with 64 on the season. Against North Carolina, the junior lefty from Ontario had seven goals, the second-most in NCAA quarterfinals history. Greer is the nation's top finisher, making 53 percent of his shots.
While the Danowki-Greer duo is not only the top scoring duo in the nation but one of the greatest of all time, the Blue Devils have other talented players who can put the ball in the net. Sophomore midfielder Ned Crotty has 20 goals on the season, while freshman Max Quinzani has 22.
The Blue Devils are average on face-offs, winning around 50 percent for the season. Freshman midfielder Terrence Molinari helped turned the game around after UNC's Shane Walterhoefer dominated early. Molinari won 11 of 18 draws and had won 65.6 percent coming into the game, though he has only faced off just 50 times this year. Dan Oppedisano, who had a tough day against the Tar Heels, winning just one of six draws, has won around 54 percent for the season.
In goal, senior Dan Loftus also struggled early, but came up with nine saves against UNC. He has a 63 percent save percentage and has allowed around seven goals per game.
Cornell can't give Duke too many man-up opportunities, because the Blue Devils scored on 3-of-4 EMOs last Sunday and are averaging around 35 percent this year, while allowing just 18 percent on man-down.

Corps Upgrades Website
The next time you go on the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Web site, you may see some improvements.
The Corps recently announced a nationwide upgrade to all of its regional Web sites in order to make them more user friendly.
Russ Wicke is the Corporate Communications Officer for the Savannah District.
He said the upgrades will benefit both Corps personnel and the general public.
"The main reason for the upgrade is that it creates uniformity and predictability across all of the Web sites," Wicke said. "That is, if you're in one district and you move to another district anywhere in the world, that district's Web site will be set up the same so you can find the same content and the same paths in the same places."
Wicke said the improvements to the web sites make it easier to link them to social media.
Meanwhile, Corps Spokesman Billy Birdwell noted some other improvements that will make finding specific topics much easier.
"One of the things that the folks will notice is that in the center of the page are frequently accessed links are now in icons which will make them easier to locate," he said. "They are right in the center of the page and are now easily identified so you don't have to search for them as much anymore."
In addition to a new look and feel, the site offers such features as a rotating image gallery, video playlist, updated news releases, fact sheets, a search engine, and a comprehensive interactive contact list.
Visitors to the website will also now find information about current projects, authorized studies, operations and maintenance, public notices, recreational opportunities, and the permitting process.
The web address for the Savannah District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers remains unchanged. It is www.sas.usace.army.mil.
