I don't think that is right. As far as I understand, module names in import statements identify specifications not implementations. Otherwise, it would be incorrect for different compilers to implement the Prelude differently. Resolution of imported module names to meanings or specifications is fundamentally different from resolution of module names to implementations. The former is the domain of the programmer and the later is the domain of the compiler/interpreter. > b) We worry about error messages like "cannot unify M.T with M.T" > (meaning different M's!) I think the Haskell report is pretty clear that M.T always means M.T. So, I interpret this as an error in the status quo that can result from multiple packages requiring conflicting implementations of M. The core problem here is that packages should not be *requiring* implementations of anything. They should only be providing them. Under the package overlap restriction, containment is identical with requirement. So the pacakge overlap restriction is a minor instance of this problem A much more major instance results from putting build-depends tags in cabal files. Instead of being unable to use package A with package B if both *contain* an implementation of Foo.Baz, build-depends means that you are unable to use package A with package B if both *require* an implementation of Foo.Baz. The likelihood of conflict therefore rises considerably. What we really need here is Hackage on steroids; a way for compilers/interpreters to look up module names in shared directories/name-servers in order to obtain packaged implementations that are compatible with the target platform (perhaps via a compile) and with each other (if the package overlap restriction survives). I know we've been going back and forth on this discussion for a while and my position has changed some. I want to thank you for your patience. I hope this post finally makese some sense. -Alex- * I think we should also have a somewhat more explicit system for allocating module namespace, but that is a whole separate discussion whose resolution is dependent on this one. PS Though I didn't quote them, I think this post also addresses the concerns expressed in David Roundy, Wolfgang Thaller, Simon Marlow's and Isaac Jones. If not, please advice. ______________________________________________________________ S. Alexander Jacobson tel:917-770-6565 http://alexjacobson.com

Jesse W. Burton, well known farmer of near Lock Springs, was killed in a runaway Tuesday. Mr. Burton was at the farm of
Salathiel Coen together with Chester French and E. M. Dickinson where they had been sawing wood. They had finished their
work and loaded the saw rig on a wagon to which was hitched a team of mules and a team of horses. Mr. French was driving.
Shortly after they had left the Coen place, the animals became frightened and started to run. All three men jumped, Mr. French
and Mr. Dickinson alighting without injury, but Mr. Burton's foot was caught in a wheel and he was dragged for some distance
before he fell free from the wagon. He was so severely injured that he was able to speak only a few words before he died.
Mr. Burton was a jolly, big hearted man about fifty years of age and highly respected in the community.
He was born December 3, 1871 near Lock Springs. He died March 17, 1925 in the same vicinity. He is buried in the Lock Springs Cemetery.

CCU Lifelong Learning to offer birding expeditions
September 8, 2006
Coastal Carolina University's Lifelong Learning program will offer four Saturday birding outings at Hobcaw Barony led by avian researcher and birding columnist Gary Philips of The Sun News.
Students will join Phillips on an early morning trek into the deep recesses of the 17,500 acre research reserve for a look at fall migration and habitats along the flyway. These tours will give novices and experienced birders an opportunity to learn about our permanent and migratory feathered residents. Wear long pants and sleeves; bring binoculars, water and bug spray.
Birding dates include Sept. 16, 23 and 30, and Oct. 14, from 7 to 11 a.m. Each tour is $25 per person. Advance registration is required. To register or request a fall catalog of all Lifelong Learning offerings, call 349-4001 or 349-4030, or visit www.coastal.edu/outreach.

NOTRE DAME, Ind. - It's become a pattern for Notre Dame. Finish the first half strong, slog through the second half.
Notre Dame shot just 28.6 percent from the field (8-of-28) in the second half, including 1-of-10 shooting from three-point range, after closing the first half on an 18-2 run.
Thanks to a stout defensive effort of their own, the Irish (7-2) were able to secure a 70-59 victory over a scrappy Bryant squad from the Northeast Conference.
"We could never really get flowing offensively, so we really had to defend to get out of there tonight," said Irish head coach Mike Brey. "Keeping their shooting percentage down is why we won the game."
Garrick Sherman recorded the first double-double of his career with 14 points and 13 rebounds, and Pat Connaughton added his own daily-double with 17 points and 11 rebounds. Jerian Grant scored 15 of his points in the first half and seven of his eight second-half points in the final 1:29 to finish with 23 points. Grant converted 11-of-13 free throws.
But the Irish had great difficulty putting the Bulldogs away, much like they did two days earlier against Delaware after a late first-half flourish. Bryant trailed by just four - 56-52 - with 2:37 remaining. The Irish were able to hold the Bulldogs to just 13-of-36 shooting from two-point range.
"We'll take it," Brey said. "It was kind of a grinding, ugly one. But a good experience and we have another similar team (North Dakota State of the Summit League) coming in here Wednesday."
For the Bulldogs, who jumped up to Division I basketball just two seasons ago and lost all but two games in 2011-12, it was a significant step forward under head coach Tim O'Shea.
"To come to one of the most iconic athletic programs in the nation and play a competitive game demonstrates how far we've come in a short period of time," said O'Shea, who has former Boston College/Rhode Island head coach Al Skinner on his staff.
"We were competitive. We weren't overmatched athletically. We had a series of shots around the rim that didn't go down. If they go down, we might be sitting here with an upset."
Notre Dame raced to a 7-0 advantage, only to have Bryant score 17 of the next 27 points to take a five-point lead. But once the Irish corralled the Bulldogs' three-point shooting, they were able to score 18 of the last 20 points of the half, including a buzzer-beating put-back by Connaughton for a 39-27 halftime lead. Bryant scored just two points over the final 8:27 of the first half
Bryant nailed six three-pointers in the first 11:33 and then just one over the next 25:50.
Grant scored 15 of Notre Dame's 39 points in the first half, and then scored just one point through the first 18:31 of the second half before connecting on a three-pointer with 1:29 left to stretch Notre Dame's lead to 59-51. Grant then blocked Dyami Starks' shot near the basket with 1:13 remaining, and the Irish were able to extend their final advantage to double digits by connecting on 20-of-26 free throws for the game.
"I got a few looks and missed some, and then I tried to force my way into the lane instead of just taking my open shots," said Grant, who was just 1-of-6 in the second half after a 4-of-6 first half. "I missed a few shots, but I started getting other people involved."
Grant finished with nine assists and four steals. Six days earlier at Iowa, he had 10 assists. Brey credited Grant with playing the key role in shutting down Starks, who finished with 12 points on 4-of-12 shooting after coming into the game averaging 23.4.
"Starks never could really get going, and that's a credit to Jerian Grant," Brey said.
Brey also had positives to say about Connaughton and Sherman.
"I don't know if I've coached a more solid guy," said Brey of Connaughton. "He just doesn't let anything affect him. He doesn't get sideways. To see 11 rebounds, I hope we can keep that going because that's going to be important. You can't play small unless that dude is doing that.
"I'm encouraged by Sherm's rebounding. That's an area where he can keep getting better and we've got to keep riding double-digit rebounds from him."
Sherman is following a double-double machine, Jack Cooley, who placed a great deal of importance on that statistic.
"I'm not as into it as Jack is," Sherman laughed. "I don't check the score sheet as quickly as Jack did. Jack was on top of it. But it's good because I know that's what my team needs out of me."
Alex Francis paced the Bulldogs in scoring with 17 points while Joe O'Shea, the head coach's nephew, tossed in 13. Francis came into the game shooting 60.4 percent from the field, but converted just 6-of-13.
After playing two games in about a 50-hour span, the Irish have another quick turnaround against North Dakota State, which is projected by many to win the Summit League. Wednesday's game marks the final regional contest of the BlackRock Gotham Classic. The round-robin tournament concludes in New York's Madison Square Garden on Dec. 21 against Ohio State.

De Gea: United-Bayern tie is wide open
David de Gea has told UEFA.com that Manchester United stood up to be counted and produced a performance when it mattered most in their 1-1 Champions League quarterfinal first-leg draw against Bayern Munich.
• Okwonga: A Battling draw
• Jolly: Moyes prospers
The Spanish goalkeeper feels the Red Devils proved their mettle against the European champions, and the 23-year-old was pleased they confounded expectations that Pep Guardiola's side would stroll to victory at Old Trafford.
United, who are seventh in the Premier League, were underdogs after enduring a difficult season, but De Gea was delighted with their response against the Bundesliga winners.
"This is a big club and at difficult moments is when you stand up and show people how big you are," he said. "I am pleased with that -- people thought it was going to be easy for Bayern and we have produced a big performance. We are satisfied.
"We feel we played really well -- it was a big effort against a very strong opponent. We might even have won.
"We knew we had to defend well, shut down the spaces and hit them on the counterattack and we had some clear chances. Defensively we were good, we kept it tight. I think we unsettled them."
De Gea believes United can put their poor domestic form behind them to give Bayern -- who have only lost twice in a year -- another difficult game in the Allianz Arena.
"They're two different competitions and things haven't gone well in the league but the Champions League is a special competition, the team are doing really well and we have to go for it," he continued.
"I think we have a chance over there -- the tie is in the balance, it's wide open and we'll fight till the end."
Great atmosphere in Old Trafford!!! Thanks again for your incredible support! You're the best. Look forward to 2nd leg. #MUFC
— David De Gea (@D_DeGea) April 1, 2014
United boss David Moyes hailed his patched-up team after the 1-1 draw, with injuries before and during the game complicating his tactics against Guardiola's side.
United were without four defenders beforehand, with Patrice Evra suspended and Rafael da Silva, Jonny Evans and Chris Smalling all injured.
However, Moyes had to switch his defence around again when Alexander Buttner limped off, meaning Phil Jones went to left-back and winger Antonio Valencia dropped into the back four.
But Moyes, who was "delighted" with his side's performance, told his postmatch press conference: "We defended really well when we needed to. We were short of defenders. We were patched up, Alex Buttner had to come off and we had to find another way.
"We had to defend well because they have good attacking players. They had possession but we always knew that would be the case. It was always going to be tough for us."
Bayern had the ball for 75 percent of the game at Old Trafford but Moyes felt United, who took the lead through a second-half header from captain Nemanja Vidic, could have scored more goals.
Danny Welbeck had a third-minute strike controversially chalked off and Moyes said: "I am hearing it was for a high boot."
The England international had a second chance when he tried to chip Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer and failed to beat him, and Moyes says the striker needs to finish such opportunities against top opposition.
"It was a great chance," Moyes added. "It was very good goalkeeping as well. He stood up, the goalkeeper, but it was a great opportunity at that time of the game.
"At this level of football you do need to be clinical and when you get a chance you need to take them."

Last night, while watching Grey's Anatomy (shut up, you love it too), I saw an ad for the American Music Awards. Apparently this year, they're allowing the public to vote on the winners, instead of having them chosen by a bunch of record industry bigwigs and insiders.
Sorry, AMAs, but no matter what scheme you concoct to make people pay attention to your aging award show, you'll never match the PLUG Awards. Go ahead and keep Jimmy Kimmel as your host; all of us PLUG fans know that Conan is far superior anyway.
Err, getting back on track, the 2008 PLUG nominations are in, and it should come as no surprise to any of you that the top contenders consist of Battles and Of Montreal -- each with seven nominations.
Like voting? Enjoy democracy? Do your part — place your vote in the PLUG Awards here and let your voice be heard. The last day to vote for such categories as Artist of the Year, Album of the Year, and a veritable slew of others, is February 8.
The winners will be announced at the PLUG Awards Ceremony and Concert, taking place March 6, 2008 at the new Terminal 5 venue in New York City. Maybe Jimmy Kimmel and AMA performers like Alicia Keys and Maroon 5 will even be there. Or maybe I'm just trying to find a way to connect the end of this news story to the beginning of it. Figure it out for yourself... and vote, damnit!

(NEW YORK) — After working his way back from Tommy John surgery, New York Yankees relief pitcher Joba Chamberlain will now have to overcome another potentially devastating injury. Chamberlain suffered an open dislocation of his right ankle while playing with his son on a trampoline-like structure.
Chamberlain had surgery Thursday night and will remain hospitalized over the next several days. According to ESPN medical analyst Michael Kaplan, Chamberlain's injury is so severe that he will likely miss the entire 2012 season so he can fully recover. He will need to undergo a lengthy rehabilitation process that includes range-of-motion and strengthening exercises.
"As we understand, they were at, they have these kid places where you jump on trampolines and stuff like that," Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said.
Chamberlain burst onto the scene as a dominant reliever during the 2007 season, but struggled to regain his form after a stint in the team's starting rotation. He appeared in 27 games during the 2011 season, going 2-0 with a 2.83 ERA.

Redistricting is a political process. Lawmakers have used the power of redistricting to both help and hinder minority voters. The 1996 Supreme Court case, Bush v. Vera, exhibits the federal judiciary's reluctance to condone unconditionally the existence of minority-majority districts. This decision and others around the nation have forced states like Texas to learn new rules to the old game of redistricting. This report addresses how these changes will affect minorities and their ability to elect a representative who will voice their concerns in the United States House of Representatives. Proportional representation will be introduced as a recommendation which can remove some of the politics out of the process as well as reach the ultimate goal of voting equity.

What i wanted is to output the permalink of the slug inputted by users.
I have this,

whats your most common problem with new shooters?
I was talkking in a new threat and one of the posters sent me to a site that had a list of common problems. That got ,me to thinking- I do have a list of common problems with shooters. My experienced guys it isn't so much a fundamentals thing but a technique thing that needs to be modified for the task at hand.
The new people (my absolute favorite to teach) pretty much have the same problems in this order of frequency:
1. Jerking / staging the trigger
2. Staying up too long on a shot and snatching the trigger
3. Gripping too hard with their firing hand
4. Not concentrating on their front site.
5 No 2nd Site Picture / recovery
6. Sight alignment (sight too high or too low in rear sight)
7. trigger position
and one of my pet peeves - bad attitude that has them beat up on themselves for missing and letting it affect the accuracy of their subsequent shots. ( I know an an extremely excellent gunfighter that i can always beat as long as he misses early in the game because his mind goes to mush once he misses)
anyone out their really different?

So I finally got to use Cupcaketree.com's large square cupcake stands today! It's been years since I've been visiting their website hoping to one day use their stands. It was quite easy to set up and looked great once the cake and cupcakes went on. On it's on it is a very plain white cardboard stand. Luckily it was decorated with fabric and diamante trim on ends.
The learning experience with this was that the cardboard base pieces were not strong enough to support an 8" red velvet 5.5"H cake with 3 initials cake toppers, flowers and 165 cupcakes.
Fortunately, someone sat down and alerted me that the cardboard pieces under the stand were bending at a 45 degree angle and the entire stand would have collapsed if I left the venue at that point.
We pushed 2 small coffee cups under each section of the stand to support the weight on everything on top which worked. I think we used a total of 16 demi size coffee cups for this stand.
I'm not sure if others do this. I didn't know that the stand wasn't built to support a cake and cupcakes plus flowers. I believe the cake weighed it down a lot because their website is full of photos with a cake on top and cupcakes below with flowers.
If you do buy the large square cupcake tree you will need support pieces under each corner especially if you have a heavy cake on top.

The five criticisms, and what we can learn, are as follows:
1) What is the underlying question we are trying to answer?
We often hear from clients that their primary goal is to measure loyalty; I respectfully disagree. Simple measurement is not enough – we need to consider the key business issue our company is dealing with and how customer strategies impact that issue. This, of course differs by customer (or, at a minimum, by industry).
In a generic context, our goal should be to threefold - first, we need to understand how customer loyalty can help us to maximize the financial health of our company. Second, we need to understand what customer experience gaps exist in our environment that prevent us from realizing these financial gains, and third, we need to establish processes and procedures that enable us to systematically close these gaps. In undertaking these three steps, we will enjoy some collateral benefits:
- We will understand where we have financial security (and risk) in our customer base.
- We will understand who our most valuable customers are.
- We will understand what potential revenue gains exist among our current customers.
2) Is the outcome metric the right metric?
There is a lot of debate about the metrics – loyalty, NPS, satisfaction, value, quality; the list goes on and on. Here's the harsh reality – there is no one right answer! All of the metrics just mentioned can have some utility in a customer loyalty initiative; the key is to align the right metric to the business question so that the results are reliable, actionable, and resonate in our firms.
3) The role of exogenous variables in our analysis
In the healthcare reform example, I talked about how exchange rates can impact how we view the per-capita spend on healthcare. These types of factors that are outside our environment (and, by extension, outside our control), can have a meaningful and material influence on how we interpret our results and make change over time. While we cannot control these factors, we can often control for them in our modeling. It is wise, therefore, to be looking ahead to determine what factors we might be facing in the near future. Examples include:
- Changing economic conditions;
- Regulatory changes in your market;
- Competitive forces – new entrants, exiting competitors, supplier influences, resource constraints, etc.
- Changing consumer tastes; We recommend taking a fresh look at your program every couple of years to see how things are changing in your environment (and we need to revamp in the program to keep it fresh, relevant, and impactful).
4) Selection bias
The cornerstone to any analysis is the sample that is used to build the data set. It is imperative that we have well thought-out sampling plans. For example, some items to consider include:
- How do we define an account – one person or many people? One customer organization or entities within that organization?
- Should our sample mirror our revenue composition? If so, do we weight results, control the sample, or both?
- Do we have access to (and can identify) all relevant customer contacts? Should we differentiate by decision role, for example?
5) Overly simplistic models
Albert Einstein said "Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler." The same is true in terms of our customer loyalty efforts – we need to align the rigor of the data with the gravity of the business question at hand. Sometimes this will be as simple as asking a handful of questions and reporting top-two box scores; other times, it will require a highly complex sample and survey design with hyper-complex statistical analyses.
What won't generally work is an overly simple, one question survey with an open end attached. You will get data (sometimes a lot of it), but you will spend more time trying to find the story in the data than if you had a more rigorous tool.
The idea of starting with the end in mind often works – if we can identify what information we want to convey, it helps us to properly design the program in total.
So, to tie it all up – the prescription for a sound analysis of customer loyalty is alignment of loyalty to corporate objectives, careful planning to make sure that the metrics sync with the business objectives and use of proper techniques.
I hope you found some value in this analysis – if you have questions or comments, please let me know.

Mike McNair, a longtime Dallas advocate of bicycle commuting, was seriously injured this week when he was hit by a car.
The accident occurred during national Bike to Work Week. About 11:30 a.m. Tuesday, McNair, 45, was returning to his Garland home after running errands on his day off. He was riding south on Cotillion Drive when he was hit by a car at the intersection with Ferguson Road.
The driver stopped, called 911 and waited for emergency responders. No charges have been filed, police said Friday. The intersection is controlled by a traffic signal.
McNair was treated for internal bleeding on Tuesday, had pins placed in his hip on Wednesday and had his left rib cage rebuilt on Friday.
His pelvis is also broken in about five places.
"They're going to wait, because he's not going to be able to put weight on his legs for at least three months," said his wife, Heather McNair. "They are going to let the pelvis heal and see if it needs support."
McNair can move his hands and feet.
"We're still in a little bit of a precarious place," said Heather McNair. "We've got a couple of more days before we can say we are in the clear."
His wife has told doctors "to repair what you need to repair, so that my husband can ride 200 miles a week again. That's what the goal is. He needs to be back where he was before."
Mike Freiberger of Allen, a friend and fellow bicycle commuter, has pieced together much of what is known from the geopositioning device McNair was using.
"You can see where he was riding along and all the sudden he gets pushed 50, 70 feet down Ferguson," Freiberger said. "The GPS shows him going sideways … on Ferguson — all the sudden."
McNair, a graphic artist, started using a bicycle for transportation about 71/2 years ago to cover the last four miles of his commute to his job in Allen, about four miles north of a DART line.
"He was an advocate of the bus system long before he got on the bike," his wife said.
McNair took to bicycle commuting and was soon riding 25 miles each way to a job in Irving three days a week and a shorter distance twice a week using DART.
"His body didn't quite put up with five days a week," his wife said.
McNair was an alternate member — for Freiberger — on the civilian panel that created the 2011 Dallas Bike Plan.
"His main strength was he commuted so much, he knew all the best ways to get across D-FW on a bike," said Marc Mumby, president of BikeDFW. "He was very great about sharing that information and encouraging people to try it."
McNair also was a leader in getting DART to add bike racks to its buses and getting more secure bicycle lockers at DART light-rail stations, Mumby said.
Heather McNair has assumed her husband's role of bicycle advocate, reminding people "to keep a lookout for people on bikes."
"He certainly has had many times over the years of people almost hitting him or getting upset with him because he was on the road," she said. "I just want to remind everybody that they do belong on the road. They need to follow the same rules, but they also have a right to be there. We need to be careful that we don't run them over."

I am a new user of orcadpcb and would like to know if it is possible to minimize the length of the ratsnest during the placement of a component and not after it is placed.
place the component near to near so you can reduce the ratsnets
In reply to kabalee:
Yes, but this happens only after the component has been released during the movement ratnest is not updated.
In reply to PcbAG:
The tools don't work this way. The ratsnest is not dynamic. It will only update once you place the part down. You could assign a FUNCKEY to place the part down and pick it back up again which will update the ratsnest connections. Edit your env file to include
funckey " " "pick_to_grid -cursor;pick_to_grid -cursor"
This uses the spacebar to put the part down then pick it up again.
In reply to steve:
Thank you for your answer.I'm surprised.... even the cheaper cads have this function
In reply to RaylonS:
The ratsnest in Allegro is not dynamic. The older Layout product had a dynamic ratsnest, cadence are a bit behind in this respect.
There are settings that can help a little.
Click Setup > Design Parameters on the tool bar. In the dialog box set the ratsnest geometry to Straight. You can also set the ratsnest points to either closest endpoint or pin to pin. Closest enpoint works pretty good.
Other things you can do to make life easier is assign colors to specific nets like ground and power, Disable a ratsnest from showing, Blank all ratsnests so when you move a part only those nets show up.
Hope that helps some
In reply to ScottCad:
In reply to DonlAZ:
You can toggle the stretch etch in the Options tab. This will turn on and off the ratsnets while moving a part.
EMA Design Automation
Make sure they are turned on (Display - Show Rats - All) then invoke the command Edit - Move and make sure that Stretch Etch is not checked (Options fold out menu on the right hand side). If it is the rats become invisible when moving a part.
I am struggling with the rat lines as well but in my situation the "Closest endpoint" setting is not functioning properly. I opened a case over 17 months ago and I was told this is the way the tool is designed to work.
For instance when I finish a route and exit the command I see the rat line extend across the design to a pin to my plating bar when I have a via 100 microns in front of the end point of the route. I just opened another case since this is a later release and I am told the tool functions as designed and nobody else has asked for an enhancement.
I remember back in the day when User Groups were strong and the users would all have a presence to openly discuss issues with the tools in front of the developers. I miss those days because other vendors were responsive to those open forums.
There are many tools on the market both cheaper and more expensive that have the ability to show the rat lines from a route to any of the closest end point (i.e. via, pin, bond finger, etc.) that provide the designer a very helpful guide to plan accordingly at a glance where to route and how to get there in the path of least resistance. I do not have that using this tool and feel like I am not being heard that this is indeed a problem.
Anyone else have this problem?
In reply to tonyhuffman:
Hi tonyhuffman,
unfortunately also I have the same problem. The Ratsnets not close to end point !
I need to swap some pins on a BGA with a PCB Designer Professional, but ratsnest not close to end points of partial routes to pins ! It's a very problem.
Please Cadence resolve this ! There is not a problem for a big factory like CADENCE to solve this, and to add "dynamic" ratsnest minimizations !
Hope some Cadence engineer ear this help request !
Best Regards, Gianni.
In options select Ripup Etch, this will show rats while moving part.
In reply to ChandM:
Hello ChandM,
thank you very much for you reply. Any suggestion are always welcome.
The "Ripup Etch" are not always the desiderable option.
With "Ripup Etch" enabled the reconnect are made only after the place of symbol.
The very desiderable action is, to have a "dynamic reconnect" with attaching the Ratenest to nearest point available, BEFORE you place the symbol.
Others competitors have this :-( Please Cadence make this feature !
Best regards, Gianni.
In reply to GP studio:
For many many many years now I have used tools (late 1980's) that have a dynamic rats nest as you move the part you are intending to place. Moving to a new tool (Cadence) took away this valuable feature that Cadence does not believe brings value. They tell me that it works just fine to show the closest connect point with I strongly beg to differ on that statement.
A connect point can be a component pin, a via or a trace end (partially routed trace that is dangling) but this is not seen as valid points by the Cadence team. This would be so valuable aid when trying to do a quick placement of parts. One day maybe but perhaps one day too late.
Hi tonyhuffman,
your comment describe accurately, waht are need, for "dynamic rats nets".
I hope to Cadence consider this really important, because are a "basic" most important feature.
Regards, Gianni.

Private ANDREW APPLEGATE (1756-1839)
New Jersey Militia
Andrew Applegate was born February 4th, 1756 in South Amboy Township, Middlesex County, New Jersey. He was named after his father, Andrew Applegate. He is also the great-grandson of Thomas Applegate, the founder of the Applegate Family in America in 1635. Andrew's first marriage was in 1786 to Lydia Perrine, who was born on May 16th, 1756 and died c1801. She was the daughter of Peter Perrine, and Margaret Dey. Andrew and Lydia had 9 children: John, Andrew, Perrine, Wilson Peter, Margaret, Elijah, Peter A., and William Perrine. After Lydia's death, Andrew's second marriage was to Elizabeth Pew on March 13th, 1803. Elizabeth was born October 8th, 1786 and died May 14th, 1869. Andrew and Elizabeth had 8 children: Lydia, Tamsen, Abigail, James Pew, Elizabeth, Fenwick P., Spafford Woodhull, and Gertrude Bodine.
The following is Andrew Applegate's account of his military service as stated in his Declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the Act of Congress passed the 7th of June 1832. In the winter of 1776, Andrew Applegate enlisted for service in the Revolutionary War as a Private under the officers of Captain John Pyatt and Colonel Heard of the New Jersey Militia. This company marched to Long Island, in the State of New York, for the purpose of disarming the Tories of that place, this tour of service lasted for 21 days. Shortly after, he served as a Private in the Company commanded by Captain John Pyatt and of the Regiment commanded by Colonel John Duychinck, this unit marched to Amboy, Elizabeth Town, [Powles=hook?], and Bergan at the time the British fleet sailed up to New York ans was out in this tour one month. After this, he went under the same Captain over to Statin Island to take some of the enemies out - guard was out on this tour one month. In the early part of the month of January 1777, he was again called out into service in the company commanded by Captain Peter Perrine, under the command of Colonels Jacob Hyre and John Nelson parts of the time, ans was stationed at the village of Cranberry during the time the British army lay in New Brunswick, and continued there until about the first of June following being relieved parts of the time by other parts of the Militia, and while there was out on numerous scouting parties guarding and protecting the inhabitants from the enemy and numerous excursions of the enemy, whilst they lay at that place, was out on this tour two months and a half. Shortly afterwards, he was again called out under the said Captain Perrine, his brother-in-law, and Colonel Hyre, at the time the British army marched from New Brunswick to Somerset Court House, and marched through Somerset County into a place called Cuystown on Hunterdon County and after laying there sometime was marched to Sourland mountain and from then to Stach gap where part of General Washington's army lay, and when the enemy retreated from the last mentioned place, was marched to the North of the road leading from New Brunswick to North Amboy, back of Piscataway Town, and continued out on this tour at least one month. In the same year, he was again called out under the same captain under Colonel Neilson, and marched to Trenton, at the time the British army was marching to take Philadelphia, and after laying there some time was marched to Elizabeth Town to guard the shores opposite to Staten Island where the enemy lay at that time, particularly the armed Tories, who make frequent excursions and committed many depredations on the inhabitants of that part of the state, out on this tour one month, then relieved. Shortly after, marched to the same place, and for the purposes, and continued out on the tour one month. After this in the year 1778, at the time the British army creped from Philadelphia into New Jersey previous to the Battle of Monmouth, was again called out under the said Captain Perrine under Colonel William Scudder, and marched to Trenton, the Black=horse, Mount=holly, and other places, and retreated before the enemy to Allentown, and so on from thence in their rear, near to the Battle ground but was not in the Battle, out on this tour about one month. After this, he marched under the same officers to Newark, Springfield, and some other places at the time when Lewis Egbert was killed by the enemy, was out on this tour he thinks one month. He was again called out under the same officers and marched to South Amboy and Cheesequake, guarding the shores from the depredations of the enemy which were very frequent, out on this tour half a month at least. The foregoing are the most material facts that relates to his services during the Revolutionary War, that at this distance of time he can now recollect, and from the best calculation this applicant can now make he verily believes he was out in the service altogether as much as one year at the very least and this applicant further declares that he has no documentary evidence relating to his services excepting the affidavit here unto attached, and he hereby declares that he relinquishes every other claim whatever to a pension or annuity except the present, and also that his name is not on the pension roll of the agency of any state.Sworn to, and subscribed in Andrew Applegate open court this 22 day of (signature) September 1832 Robert Abehemey, Judge
Andrew Applegate's Certificate of Pension was issued on June 21, 1833. He received a rate of 35 dollars and 64 cents per annum, commencing on the 4th day of March 1831. Andrew Applegate died October 4, 1839 in Middlesex County, New Jersey. He was buried in Brainard Cemetery, Middlesex County, New Jersey. His grave was marked by his descendants on May 6, 1971 and reported by DAR Tennent Chapter, New Jersey.
On March 22, 1855, Elizabeth Applegate, age sixty nine years, applied for a Bounty Land Claim. [Declaration for widow of a deceased officer of soldier, who has not had a land warrant] She states that she is a resident of Burlington County, New Jersey and is the widow of Andrew Applegate. Elizabeth Applegate received a Bounty Land Grant in Greenup county, Kentucky (north-east corner of Kentucky). It was for 2 parcels of land.Submitted by: Mrs. Jan Spargo Wenk (#815857)

Henry Arnot was born in Orange County, New Jersey, on March 12, 1761. His parents were William and Elizabeth Arnot.
Henry's pension record tells his story: "Henry enlisted in the Revolutionary War the year after the Battle of Bunker's Hill, which was in July 1776, in the County of Sussex in the State of New Jersey under Captain John Weasner commanded by Major Logan and Colonel Nichols for a five month tour and was discharged at Peckskill in the State of New York. During the tour he was marched from Sussex to New Windsor on the Hudson River. The troops took water and went to West Point and from there to Kings Bridge above New York and then on to White Plains and Peckskill where he was discharged. He was in no general engagement but was in a skirmish in a place called Morristown in New York, near a place called Hillgate. After getting discharged he took the paper home to his father since he was only 14 years of age. He served one month in the room of his father who was drafted in the militia from the County of Sussex, New Jersey, commanded by Lt. Erskine at Paramus about New York. During this tour he was not in any battle. Afterwards he served as a substitute for James Ellis of the County of Sussex,New Jersey, for one month and was commanded by Lieutenant Arnett, Colonel Sewards and General Wends. He was marched from Sussex to New Windsor on the Hudson River, then to Morristown, Princeton and Woodberry in Jersey, where he was discharged. During this tour he was not in any battle. In 1783, the last year of the war, he substituted. The militia was classed and one of the classes hired him for three months in the County of Orange, State of New York. He served with Captain Gordon, Major Logan and Colonel Wisenfelt and was marched to West Point, Fort Albany, Johnstown, Saratoga and then to Albany where he was discharged at the time peace was made." Henry received a pension for his military service in Monroe County, Virginia, in 1832.
Henry married Elizabeth Truesdale on August 15, 1780, in Sussex County, New Jersey, and they moved to Monroe County, Virginia, in 1832. They had the following children: Elizabeth (m. Matthew Wood), Martha (m. Charles Neal), Deborah (m. Walter Neal), William (m/1Mary Garten and 2/Lucinda Handley), Henry (m. Mary Phillips), Sarah (m. Joseph Baker) and Alameda (m. Levi Canterbury). Henry died May 26, 1847, and Elizabeth died December 30, 1840, both in Monroe County, Virginia/West Virginia. They are buried in the Mt. Hedding Cemetery, Lillydale, Monroe County, West Virginia.

Augustine (Augustus) Comer, son of Michael and Catherine Comer, was born ca 1757 on the Rapidan River in Virginia. His grandfather Christopher Comer (Christstofel Gomer) came to America from the Palatinate District along the Rhine River in Germany arriving in Philadelphia on the Snow Molly on September 10, 1737 and settled in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia by 1745.
Augustine enlisted in the Revolutionary War in Shenandoah County, Virginia, on Easter Monday in 1776 and served four and one-half years under Captain Langley, 12th VA Regiment, Continental Establishment, Colonel Neville and General Scott. His military records mention the battles in which he participated, among them were Trenton, Brandywine, Germantown, Monmouth, Stony Point and Charleston, SC. He was also at the Valley Forge encampment for five months and at Camps Haverstraw, White Plains and Middlebrook. Augustine was an artilleryman in Washington's army. One night while the Americans were in camp on Assanpink Creek at Trenton, New Jersey, Comer was placed on guard duty with orders to hail any strange person three times and then fire unless answered. An officer who thought he would have some fun with Comer and stampede him got down on the brink of the creek and threw up firebrands. The sentinel was alarmed but obeyed his orders and then fired, wounding the officer. Comer was placed under arrest, but exonerated by Washington, who complimented him for his faithfulness. He was with General Anthony Wayne when he got his nickname "Mad" Anthony Wayne by leading the capture of Stony Point, which is a rocky, narrow-necked peninsula jutting out in the Hudson River above New York City, with a marsh on one side that was impassable except at the lowest tide and water on the other side. It was heavily fortified by the British and it completely controlled the Hudson River. All the men unloaded their muskets and fixed their bayonets. Each one pinned a piece of white cloth on the back of his uniform so that he could be seen by the man behind him. They reached Stoney Point without being seen and silently climbed over the walls and before the British knew what was going on they were swarming all over using their bayonets. The fight was short and the British surrendered. According to his pension records, Augustine was discharged at Charleston, South Carolina, after having faithfully served out his time and carried his discharge paper with him but lost it in the woods while fighting the Tories. He was taken prisoner by the British and was kept for about two months before making his escape. He then volunteered to serve in General Francis Marion's Light Horse and General Sumpter's Light Horse units, under General Greene.
After the war he married Catharine/Catreen Rush (Rousch) on April 23, 1782, Shenandoah Valley, Virginia. In 1788 they moved to Monroe County, Virginia. They had 10 children, namely, Elizabeth (m. Daniel Miller), Frederick (m. Polly Mitchell), Jacob (m. Anna Meadows), Catharine (m. Joseph Ball), Barbara (single), Michael (m. Elizabeth Lucy Willis), Augustus (m. Sarah Fore), Sarah/Sally (m. John Peters), and John Henry (m. Mary Jane Mitchell). Comer died July 23, 1824, and is buried in the Cummins Cemetery in Monroe County, West Virginia. Catharine received a widow's pension and died on April 11, 1841, at her son Jacob's home in Mercer County, West Virginia.

John Handley was born in 1746 in Augusta County, Virginia. He was the son of William and Margaret Handley. His father was part of the Scotch-Irish emigration to America in about 1740 to Pennsylvania, then to Augusta County, Virginia, and settled in Botetourt County, Virginia , in 1746.
He married Mary Harrison in 1768, and they had the following children: William (m. Margaret Henderson), Margaret (m. Samuel Clark), Samuel (m. Sarah Ann Walker Harmon), John (m. Prossie Elder), Archibald (m. Susan Kincaid), James (m. Polly/Mary Burke), Sarah (m. Humphrey Keyes), Nancy (m. Thomas Akins), Alexander (unknown), Elizabeth (m. Andrew Walker) and Isaac (m. Kate Wylie). John purchased land on Indian Creek in Monroe County, Virginia, with his brother Archibald in 1774. His home in Monroe County was Handley's Fort. This was not a government fort, but a fortified house, where his family lived and the neighbors gathered for a place of safety during Indian alarms.
John is listed as a private in the 1774 list of Captain John Lewis's Company of Volunteers in the Botetourt County, Virginia, Regiment in Lord Dunmore's War, which was engaged in the Battle of Point Pleasant, the most desperate struggle ever waged between white men and the Indians in America. John enlisted in the Revolutionary War in Greenbrier County, Virginia. He served as a lieutenant in the company of Captain John Vartress, Jefferson County, Virginia, under the command of General George Rogers Clark in the Illinois Campaign.
He was also a juror and overseer of roads. John died January 3, 1811, and is buried in the Green Hill Cemetery at Union, Monroe County, West Virginia. His wife Mary was killed on December 4, 1829, by a team of runaway oxen that she tried to stop and drive into the barnyard gate. She is buried in the Guyandotte Cemetery in Huntington, Cabell County, West Virginia.

Joseph Workman was born 1736 in Somerset County, New Jersey. He is the son of Isaac and Phoebe Ragel Workman.
The Workman (Woertman) family immigrated to America from Amsterdam about 1647 and is listed in the Register of Early Settlers of Kings County, Long Island, New York.

Phantoms of the Imagination
From Italo Calvino's "Levels of Reality in Literature", collected in The Uses of Literature:
The preliminary condition of any work of literature is that the person who is writing has to invent that first character, who is the author of the work. That a person puts his whole self into the work he is writing is something we often hear said, but it is never true. It is always only a projection of himself that an author calls into play while he is writing; it may be a projection of a real part of himself or the projection of a fictitious "I"--a mask, in short. Writing always presupposes the selection of a psychological attitude, a rapport with the world, a tone of voice, a homogeneous set of linguistic tools, the data of experience and the phantoms of the imagination--in a word, a style. The author is an author insofar as he enters into a role the way an actor does and identifies himself with that projection of himself at the moment of writing.

text: Well, thanks for all the advice I've had from my previous threads folks. The end result is I am now the proud owner of a 2010 Ibis White Black Edition Sportback with S Tronic! The car came with a pretty good spec including auto dimming mirrors/lights/wipers, folding mirrors, cruise control, bluetooth, ipod connection and all the usual bits (climate, park sensors etc). I have to say, even after just an hour of driving I absolutely love the S Tronic. I was a little worried that going from a 2 ltr petrol manual to a 2ltr diesel semi-auto might feel a bit wrong (and I must admit I did go for the clutch when I initially went to pull away lol) but so far it's been a joy to drive and the 170ps engine certainly doesn't feel like a downgrade in performance from my ten year old Focus ST170. I've now got to work out what all the bits on the DIS do. There seem to be an awful lot of menus Having seen another car the other day with the RNS-E I'm also sorely tempted to stick one of those in at some point. Anyhow, thanks again for the replies and help. Glad to be an 'official' member of the forum now!

Postural Seating Products
Special Seating Seat Frame & Buggy
The Special Seating Seat frame is designed to provide a platform for mounting a wide range of special seating systems. One such system is our own Modular Seating System.
Special Seating Systems provide comfort and support for disabled children and adults with significant postural deformities and disabilities. The Tendercare Special Seating Seat Frame and wheelbase have been used successfully for many years with a wide range of different manufacturers seating systems and moulded seat inserts and is suited for either disabled children or adults. As all children and adults are individual we hesitate in recommending ages for our products and would refer you to the size and weight recommendations.
The Wheelbase is of lightweight but rugged construction and this makes it suitable for daily use. The wheelbase has two fixed wheels at the rear mounted on spring suspension and two front swivelling castor wheels for easy steering. To further enhance the comfort factor for the occupant the Spring suspension is available in 2 strengths, either hard for rough terrain or soft which is more suited for pavement use. The wheelbase is available in two sizes Nursery/Junior and Senior and these will accommodate our two sizes of seat frames.
The Seat Frames, which have tilt in space adjustment, provide a simple and secure system for the mounting of a wide range of special seating systems. The angle of the seat frame (Tilt in Space) can be infinitely adjusted throughout its range. Both seat frames can be quickly and easily mounted onto the Wheelbases in order to provide mobility. For indoor use the Seat frame can be quickly and easily transferred from it's outdoor wheelbase to it's own specially designed indoor base.
The wheelbase and seat frame assembly when fitted to Tendercares Snugseat and Modular Seating System have been successfully impact tested against International Standard ISO7176-19 and may be used as a vehicle seat.

He may be classified as an urban artist. But the truth is, k-os (born Kevin Brereton) is a product of the suburbs. Playing the Surrey Fusion Festival this weekend is a bit like a trip home to Whitby, Ont., for the Gastown resident.
"I spent my Friday nights driving into Toronto for hip-hop nights when I was a kid because nothing really happened where I was," k-os says. "The two things that drew me to this festival was that it is outside of the core and known to be cool and established.
"Also, it gave me the opportunity to take my vibe outside of the city of Vancouver and explore something new. To me, the coolest people growing up were the ones from outside the Greater Toronto Area who came downtown and did their own thing, I'm a suburban kid at heart."
With approximately 1,200 people a month locating to Surrey, the city is probably past any kind of suburb designation. But k-os makes a good point that the nightlife direction seems to run to downtown from there.
The Fusion Fest is a case of the reverse, and likely where the artist is to find a greater number of his significant fan base resides. He's looking forward to mixing up singles and songs from his latest double-disc BLack on BLonde, which breaks down into a hip-hop CD and a rock/pop CD. It's the first time the musician — who is a fusionist of different genres himself — ever tried something separating the two styles.
"My original idea was to do two shows on the tour," k-os says. "One for one disc and the other for the second. But once we started mixing in old catalogue material like Crabbuckit or Sunday Morning with the new material, it all sort of flowed into itself, bridging from the groovy hip hop song to the rock rhythms."
He says putting together his setlist for this latest tour was a puzzle game like Jenga. When it all comes together for his band of longtime drummer Ray Garroway, DJ Lil' Jazz, bassist Tom Darcy (Small Sins), ex-Stills guitarist Tim Fletcher and a percussionist, it combines all the elements of his creative vision with full entertainment value.
"We just played the Calgary Stampede and all walked away from the show going "this is the perfect setlist for this band right now." So I'm excited for the people in Surrey who get the hear it and that we get to tweak it even more as we get ready to head to events later this summer like the Afropunk festival in Brooklyn in August."
Now that he's established himself to the point that every album charts in the top 20 in Canada and maintains regular work abroad, what is the next goal for the man? He says that a recent turn on the Jimmy Fallon show sitting in with The Roots was a career highlight and made him feel like he was back to square one again.
"They were so influential to me growing up and mentored me some ways coming up and it was an amazing opportunity to gauge that it might be the perfect time for my goal of building music with no genre."
As an example of a perfect crossover track, he mentions We Are the World. Didn't see that one coming.
Surrey Fusion Festival
Where: Concord Pacific World Music Stage, Holland Park
When: Saturday, 8:45 p.m.
Tickets: Free

Not Who You Say I AmIt amazes me how today in our society everyone is seeking approval from others. I believe this causes people to think that they are able to label or define one another. People feel like they have the right to tell you who you are, but that is only because you want them to. The thing is you want them to say some thing good and as we all know that is not always the case. I first truly realized this about a year ago when I had to stand alone because I didn't meet the approval of others. I was pregnant. Yup there I was at age 21, a college student, unmarried, and pregnant. Wow the judgments came running in like a flood. The only people who did except me was God and my mom. I move back home and begun going back to church I felt surly they well except me but they didn't. None of my many friends stood with but every one had something to say. It did hurt while I was in it but I could be more thankful for that experience now. In that year I grew beyond measures I found out who I truly was. Because I stood only I learn how to be strong. I also learned I am who I am and nothing anyone says can change. I learn how to love myself when there is no one to love me. I am a single mother but not be because I was I wild college student (I wasn't I was more of a biology geek lol) and not because I was I *****. I'm just me a fun loving person, who genuine love's people, kind, unique, God loving, only changing for the better and tries to see the best in people kinda girl. Try to be the best me there is and not caring what anyone has to say about it!

"In our country this is a culinary staple. It is a time consuming meal but so worth it. When families make this, it's usually for special occacions and family gatherings. Since it takes a long time to cook, usually we make it while the guests are present so they can sit back and enjoy some cold beers (and keep you company!) ;) You can omit the ribs, sausage and goat if it's too expensive but at least keep the 5. Recipezaar doesn't recognize niame, so I put yam...but it's not your typical yam. Go to a fresh market store that carries imported roots to find the niame. The Bitter or Seville orange can be hard to find, It's preferred fresh but Goya sells a bottled type. You may also omit it if you want."

When I read that the Husqvarna/Viking Opal had received the Consumers' Digest Best Buy award, I simply could not wait to review it. That opportunity finally arrived and I immediately took advantage of the opportunity to review it.
The Opal comes in two different models, the 670 and the 650. On the day of my visit, I had an opportunity to review the 670.
At A Glance
One look at the Husqvarna/Viking Opal 670 is all it takes to recognize that this machine is somewhat different from all the other machines in the rather extensive line of Husqvarna/Viking computerized sewing machines.
The machine itself is a little smaller and the LCD screen is smaller. Upon closer examination, however, it is obvious that most of the other standard features found on Husqvarna/Viking sewing machines are right there at your fingertips.
The list of standard features available on the award winning Husqvarna/Viking Opal 670 includes:
- 200 decorative and utility stitches
- 4 alphanumeric fonts
- Automatic thread cutter
- Bobbin thread sensor
- Monochromatic LCD backlit Touch screen with stylus
- Automatic tension adjustment
- Start/stop button
- Variable speed control
- Stitch memory
- Fix function
- Mirror end to end and side to side stitching
- 3 bright LED lamps
Working on the Husqvarna/Viking Opal 670
On board graphic guides make winding the bobbin and threading the Husqvarna/Viking Opal is as simple as can be.
If you are accustomed to a mechanical sewing machine, there may be a slight learning curve when it comes to the stitch selection process.
The stitch selection guide beneath the lid is very helpful. The first thing you must do, however, is to go into the stitch/font selection menu to identify the stitch category you want to choose from and then dial up the desired stitch number.
As soon as a stitch is selected, the Sewing Advisor pops up on the LCD touch screen. It not only shows you a graphic display of the stitch, it will also tell you which presser foot to use and helps you determine the best stitch length and width that would work best for your specific sewing project.
The fix function assures that each seam is locked at the beginning and end points. The speed control mechanism is operated by touch, not by a slider like on many other machines.
The Husqvarna/Viking 670 runs quietly and steady. The construction is solid and there is virtually no vibration whatsoever, even when sewing at the highest speed setting.
The stitch quality is good. Stitches are tight and secure. Although I can't pinpoint the specific reason, I wasn't too impressed by the final look of the decorative stitches.
A comparison between the Husqvarna/Viking Opal 670 and the 650
Both the Husqvarna/Viking 650 and 670 are loaded with great features. There are, however, some differences. This table is a snapshot of some of the differences.

Tying Off The Loose Ends
When it is all said and done, it's easy to see how the Husqvarna Viking Opal won the Consumer's Digest Best Buy Award.
In my opinion, however, there are a few things to be desired with this machine. That does not mean it's not a good buy.
Personally, I would like to see the stitch selection process a little less complicated and the stitch quality a little better.
The Opal is a solid machine that runs quietly, has no vibration and once you get the hang of it, does a great job.
I believe the Opal is a good choice for those who are moving from a mechanical to a computerized sewing machine. There is, as I said earlier in this review, a learning curve, which is to be expected anytime you step up to a more complex piece of machinery.
As a rule, I hesitate to recommend computerized sewing machines for use by beginners. The Opal may be one of those exceptions.
Not only is it a good transitional machine for those who have worked almost exclusively on mechanical sewing machines, it could very well be an ideal choice for the older beginner who wants to dive into the deep end of the pool.
Someone with even a little bit of experienced on computerized sewing machines will be able to work on the Opal with just the owner's manual to guide them.
On the other hand, if you have never worked on a computerized machine before and are interested in purchasing an Opal, make sure your dealer offers tutorials.
The 670 has more to offer than the 650, and the price reflects that. For the $500 difference, I think the beginner or anyone who has worked on a mechanical machine for a number of years might be happy with the less costly model.
The additional features are wonderful and a great advantage for the experienced home sewer. I sometimes wonder, though, if a beginner or a seasoned home sewer who has never worked on a computerized machine might be overwhelmed by suddenly having too many options and features to choose from.
- Beginner
- Needs lots of help – able to sew a straight seam but unfamiliar with most sewing techniques; needs assistance and instruction on basic sewing techniques.
- Intermediate
- Competent – can make different clothing items without assistance or guidance, but not good enough to sew intricate projects or to sew without a pattern.
- Expert
- Expert – can sew anything without instruction or assistance; possesses an expansive knowledge of sewing techniques and terminology.
- Good transitional machine for people moving up from mechanical to computerized sewing
- Fewer features and accessories than many other computerized sewing machines in its price range

Thanks kg21
