Article Number25
by Rev. Henry Hedges Prout
Originally published in the Windham Journal from February 18, 1869 to March 31, 1870. Article 25 published on September 9, 1869. Extracted from the microfilm copies of the Windham Journal located at the Vedder Research Library.
Transcribed by Arlene Goodwin
The following sketch, contributed by Mrs. Peck, a daughter of Samuel Merwin, will be read with interest. The mention of Samuel Merwin and Mrs. Merwin recalls the memory person of primitive Christian simplicity, unaffectedly devout, kind and cordial in manners, and very cheerfully loyal to the truth. The peculiar beauty of such examples is a child-like unconsciousness of excellence. This artless humility and quiet goodness, is the meekness which has a special benediction, and is like a modest flower which hides itself, and is revealed only by its fragrance. "A meek and quiet spirit is in the sight of God of great price."
Rev'd. Sir: Having read with much interest the communications furnished by different persons, containing their reminiscences of Olden Times in Windham, and having heard my parents relate some things, and knowing others of my own observation, I offer you this brief and imperfect sketch. My grandparent, Thomas and Esther Merwin, together with seven children-three sons and four daughters, for the most part grown up, emigrated about 1793, from Wallingford, Conn., to what is now the Towns of Jewett. My grandfather purchased a tract of land, enough for a farm apiece for his three sons, Daniel, Solomon, and Thomas. The country was a wilderness with the exception of a few clearings made by pioneers, mostly from the same town. They began clearing land with stout hearts and nerves, experiencing all the hardships and privations which are attendant on people in a wilderness home, and with great difficulty erected their dwelling, which consisted of hewn logs, called a block house. Having made a beginning, my father, Samuel Merwin, then a young man about to commence life, went back to Wallingford, and was married to Thankful Parker, but soon after, left his wife at Wallingford, and returned here to make arrangements for his reception. He toiled through hardships almost unendurable, and then, towards the end of the ensuing winter, with sleighing being tolerably good, started with a team to bring his wife from Connecticut to her wilderness home. With buoyant spirits they journeyed on, bringing their moveables and pursued their way as well as their sleighing would admit, for the southwind had begun to blow, which soon caused the sleighing to be very poor. When they arrived at the river they found the ice unsound, and the facilities for crossing not what they are now. If they crossed on the ice at all it had to be done at once, and not wishing to be delayed, they concluded to run all ventures, but soon found themselves in imminent peril, the ice yielding and crumbling at every step, and covered with water shoe-deep. In their trepidation and alarm they lost the direct track, for it was in the evening, and were hastening up the river toward Athens, when a woman rushed from a house on the bank, and screamed at the top of her voice, telling them to turn and go right back, for there was no ice on the river just above them. Without hesitation, for dear life was in great danger, they turned and retraced their steps, the ice yielding under them. With much difficulty they found the crossing place, and stood in safety and thankfulness on the west bank of the river, at Catskill, which then consisted of only seven houses. Rescued from a watery grave, not a hair of their head has perished, all arrived safe to land. The next morning, looking toward the river, nothing was visible but the open water, every fragment of the ice gone. They then thankfully went on their way toward home as fast as poor roads and a very little snow would admit. After leaving what is now Windham turnpike, the way was poorly laid out, distinguished by marked trees only; and now and then a fine deer was seen fleeing at their approach, which was an amusing sight to my mother--something she had never seen before. Very glad were they when they arrived a their destined place of abode, although nothing better than a log house, with just clearing enough around it to make it a little different from the mere wilderness, and with high mountains before and around them, far and near. Nevertheless it was home, Sweet Home. Time sped on, and a growing family with many privations, caused them, no doubt, to often think of the comforts left behind, in the place of their nativity; but no with murmurings, as the Israelites of old, who thirsted for a good thing of Egypt.The writer can well remember the first apple she ever saw—one apiece for all the children, and perhaps as many for the parents, were bought at Schoharie Kill, now Prattsville, and brought home as a grand prize and luxury. After a few years the young apple trees, raised from seeds brought from Conn., began to bear a very few apples, and the children were forbidden to purloin them; but having some thing of Mother Eve and Father Adam about them, the sight was so pleasing, and the taste so inviting, they would sometimes take of the forbidden fruit, which is found out, would subject the offender to a severe reprimand, if not to a small switch well applied more on account of disobedience than the loss of the fruit.
Wild game being abundant, sportsmen sometimes had rare luck hunting. My father, taking advantage of a heavy fall of snow, one winter, day, buckled on his snow shoes, and with a stout rope in hand, sallied fourth in quest of game, telling my mother that if luck favored him, he would lead home a wild deer for her amusement; but being incredulous, she told him she knew better. Having traversed the mountain a short distance, he started a drove of deer, and which were unable to make much headway on account of the deep snow. My father on his snow shoes, overtook them, and selecting a large buck, secured him, and with his rope, tied him to a tree, and then gave chase to the others, but they made good their escape as rapidly as the deep snow would allow them, and so eluded further pursuit. He returned to the tree and untied the rope which bound his captive, intending to lead him home, but the wary brute not being used to such treatment, and not easily halter-broke, showed proper resentment, in a rough and tumble fight, In the fray, the animal stepped on one of the snow shoes, and for a moment had my father under him in his power, but he being very agile, sprang soon to his feet. The deer being so infuriated, and his branching antlers so formidable, my father thought it not best to contend longer, and with his jack-knife, bled him from the jugular vein, which subdued his ferocity; but instead of leading home a live deer as he had anticipated, he transported a fine venison, which, with accustomed kindness he shared with his neighbors and friends; even with the Justice of the Peace himself, who with a good natured wink, observed that the thought it rather out of season for fresh meat. Compunctions of conscience were, however, laid aside in partaking of the spoil gotten in violations of the law; probably it was something like Esau's savory venison which all loved. Not only deer, but wolves were plentiful in the woods, and often made the wilderness resound with their unwelcome howling. One night they began their concert apparently not far from the house. Uncle Tom Merwin seated himself on the doorstep, fiddle in hand, and struck up some lively tunes, but the wolves seeming not disconcerted, redoubled their energies, and for a brief space there was plenty of music and discordant sounds.Laura Peck
More About Wolves and Panthers
Mr. Chauncey Peck lived, when a boy, with his uncle, Theophilius Peck, and thinks that during 7 or 8 years his uncle's losses by wolves were equal in value to all his property at the end of the years. On one occasion the wolves were followed and driven far away over the mountain, and at night Mr. Peck asked his son if the sheep were penned up,--who said they were not,--added that there was no danger; but the next morning the carcasses of quite a number of the flock were strewn about in the field, slain by wolves.
Minor Hollow lies a little back of the village of Windham. Mr. Miner Tibbals remembers how, living in that settlement in 1817, when a boy, the "signs" of wolves were abundant, and he, with two or three other persons tracked the brutes into a desolate, bleak place, grown up thickly with underbrush, and found a nest of eight young wolves in a hollow tree. The took them home and obtained $30 apiece bounty money for their scalps--$120 in all. The State and County each paid a bounty then.
Miner Tibbals and Theron Hough, in 1818, were ploughing in a field where some sheep were feeding. A panther came in sight and caught a sheep before their eyes, and carried it to the woods and devoured it. The panther appeared to have watched stealthily for his prey, and pounced upon it like a cat seizing a mouse, and then bounded off over the fence with it, out of sight.

New mayor for Southwold is chosen
PUBLISHED: 17:03 31 March 2014 | UPDATED: 17:06 31 March 2014
Sarah Lucy brown
A popular coastal town has elected its mayor for the next year.
Southwold Town Council held its election for a mayor elect after their town council meeting last week.
Elizabeth Ann Betts, who is known as Ann, was voted in to take over from current mayor Simon Tobin.
Miss Betts, 72, was mayor of the town nine years ago, and has been part of the council for 16 years.
She said on being voted in: "It came as quite a shock. I was quite surprised.
"It's an honour to be asked to do it for a second time. I'm excited. It's changed an awful lot since the last time I was mayor."
Miss Betts, who was born and bred in Southwold, has chose her mayor's charities as well, the Sole Bay Care Fund, and the Alfred Corry museum.
She said: "This has always been home.
"I'll get stuck into anything I feel strongly about. If anything crops up I'll get my hands dirty.
"I'd like to say thanks very much to Simon for his help and I think he's done a very good job as mayor."
When asked about the new CCTV which will be installed in the town around the time that Miss Betts takes up office, she said: "I personally think it would be a good idea. I'm all in favour of it.
"I hope it helps the police catch these thieves quicker."
Mr Tobin said: "I'm absolutely delighted that Ann has been voted for as the future town mayor of Southwold.
"She's an excellent councillor who has served for many years and I know she will have an excellent year to come.
"It's been an honour to serve as a town mayor of Southwold.
"When you look into the history how important it is to work with other councillors to preserve the history of Southwold while taking it forward, without spoiling this incredible town is a skill."
Mr Tobin said he will remain on the council and will "support Ann 100% as vice mayor".
Mr Tobin will hand over the mayoral chains to Miss Betts on May 12.

Off the Charts
The S&P tagged the 8-day moving average on today's weakness as it broke the upper level ascending channel to the downside. The S&P and Dow both finished the day in the red, down 0.38% and 0.16% respectively, while the Nasdaq eked out a marginal gain of 0.01% thanks to the strength in sector heavyweight Apple (AAPL).
After today's action it makes sense to have a more neutral stance to the market as the market seems a little lethargic at these upper levels. There has been a big move in the S&P from the June 24 low to the new high of 1698. A rest would be constructive in the indices and it would be prudent to increasingly shift your focus to individual stocks.

Sean Paul
His album, Dutty Rock, scorched its way into the pop canon with singles like "Gimme the Light" and "Like Glue," with sales topping 6 million. Fresh out of Jamaica into the U.S., Sean Paul has already collaborated with hip-hop masters like DMX, Jay-Z and Busta Rhymes.
AppealAs if there aren't legions of women dreaming of being this boy's shorty. He's got the very fashionable multicultural look, the corn rolls, the hip dancehall garb, a penchant for singing about fun and love, and, most importantly, the power to make millions of people comply with his beats in the form of dance.
SuccessHe was a rich kid from Jamaica with a deep appreciation for music. One would expect him to simply aspire to a lifetime of tuning his car's hi-fi system and cruising with his mates, but he had higher aims. He didn't let his easy living sedate him. He hustled to create, tapping into the gushing fountain of creativity within.
He began writing his first riddims at 13, on a cheap keyboard his mother gave him. By his mid-teens, he was writing lyrics that captured the attention of major reggae and dancehall men in Jamaica. When he graduated, a spinning prodigy with several singles behind him, he was working with celebrated producer Jeremy Harding. "Baby Girl," the fruit of their work, put Sean Paul on the dancehall map. His future singles and debut album Stage One took him to New York City and into the hip-hop studios that made DMX and The Roots.
Today he stands among giants. Hip-hop biggies are knocking on his door, knowing that a Sean Paul touch will make a track that much better. With multi-platinum album Dutty Rock still selling big, Sean Paul is only starting.
Sean Paul BiographySean Paul Henriques was born in Kingston Jamaica, on January 8, 1973, to a Portuguese father and a Chinese-Jamaican mother. Having that kind of cross-cultural upbringing exposed Sean Paul to myriad realities and ideas, not to mention his mother's artistic leanings. She was a famous painter in Jamaica, and encouraged Sean's creativity. At 13, his mother got him a little keyboard, on which he composed his first riddims.
Paul lived comfortably, his education almost guaranteeing him a prosperous career anywhere. A consummate athlete, Sean Paul mastered swimming and water polo, representing Jamaica in both sports in international events. But it was music, especially dancehall -- an upbeat cross between reggae, hip-hop and pop -- that drove him.
sean paul's proves fearless
In his teens, Paul wrote his own lyrics, and eventually got close to big players like Cat Coore, Bunny Rugs and Carrot Jarret of Third World. Passionate about mixing, he took on the art of DJing, creating dubs and playing at barbecues.
While he honed his musical sensibilities, he worked as a chef and as a bank teller after graduating from Kingston's UTech University.
But in 1996, after producing a handful of his own singles, he hooked up with producer Jeremy Harding. It was a career-making connection, as Harding had just written a hit-worthy riddim called "Fearless," and needed a voice. Sean Paul filled in the need. The resulting single, "Baby Girl," introduced Jamaica to its newest star.
sean paul teams with mr. vegas
Sean Paul continued to refine his DJ skills while collaborating further with Harding. With each new single, his renown expanded. "Infiltrate" was a smash in Belize, "Excite" took him to Trinidad and Guyana, and "Deport Them" was being sung by fans all over the Caribbean. Even in New York and Miami, DJs were keeping their ears open to Sean Paul.
Mr. Vegas, an up-and-coming dancehall VIP, joined forces with Sean Paul. "Hot Gal Today" and "Tiger Bone," their two hit works, exploded in the Caribbean and the American East Coast. The two were enlisted by producer Tony Kelly, who coupled them with DMX for the soundtrack to the Hype Williams film Belly (1998). Sean Paul's name took off in the U.S., his singles earning solid spots on hip-hop radio.
sean paul releases stage one
In 2000, Paul finally released his debut album, Stage One. His name was well-known by then, so it was no surprise that the CD took the Billboard No. 4 Reggae Album of the Year. Sean Paul himself topped No. 3 on the Reggae Artist of the Year list. The remake of the movie Shaft (2000) even used "Hot Gal Today" in its soundtrack.
While basking in notoriety, Sean Paul became the first reggae artist ever to perform at Hot '97's Summer Jam, the prestigious hip-hop festival by New York's famed rap station. He continued to perform, making it to Boston and Miami.
sean paul releases dutty rock
Paul didn't keep his fans waiting. Dutty Rock, his second effort, detonated the airwaves in 2002, with the hits "Like Glue," "Can You Do the Work," "Gimme the Light," and "I'm Still in Love With You," a duet with the luscious Sasha.
Released by Atlantic Records, Dutty Rock afforded Sean Paul a true global reach, and his name began spreading at a startling rate. London clubs have his hits on rotation, and the fame keeps spreading -- so much so that he leant his voice to Beyonce's "Baby Boy" track in 2003.

The Family Planning Sustainability Checklist is a tool that has evolved over several years and was field tested in multiple countries during the process. The goal of the Checklist is to provide a tool that enables family planning project designers, implementers and evaluators to think through all of the elements that need to be in place to sustain community-based family planning services over the long term. The Checklist can be used at multiple points during a project cycle—from the initial design phase through regular staff meetings, annual reviews, to midterm and final evaluations.
The Checklist does not provide a score but it does provide a method for consistently reviewing all essential program elements to ensure long term sustainability of services—and guides the user through action planning to address identified weaknesses. Although it is targeted toward NGO programs working with a national district management team, the "essential program elements" are common to most, if not all, community-based programs. The essential program elements are: 1) Reliable supply of contraceptive methods, 2) Training, 3) Maintaining a network of quality service providers, 4) Supervision, 5) Demand creation, 6) Reporting and integration of data.
The guide includes two versions of the Checklist which contain the same elements formatted in two ways to improve the usefulness of the tool. It also includes guidance for 1) a facilitated one-day workshop for use with project partners and 2) a two hour meeting for when shorter timeframes are available.
We would love to hear feedback from those who use the tool. Please post a blog or write us directly at firstname.lastname@example.com
In addition to being available on the CEDARS Resources page, the Checklist can be downloaded at the following locations:

It is quite a spiritual experience even for those who don't consider themselves religious.
I've been to Istanbul many times and have experienced the Call to Prayer at all hours of the day and night. It's a great early morning wake up call!
This video is from a visit a few years ago. I recorded it near the Blue Mosque and added images and video -- including some Sufu dancing that I recorded at the old train station in Sultanahmet -- my favorite part of the city.
In my recording, the Call to Prayer starts at the Blue Mosque, but throughout the recording -- you will begin to hear the Call to Prayer start at other mosques around the city. It is quite enchanting to experience it live.

ISLAMABAD, March 30: No offence should be compounded under Qisas and Diyat unless the trial is completed after which the legal heirs of the victim may demand Qisas or compound the offence.
This consensus was reached at the three-day consultations on "The Concept of Justice in Islam in Reference to Qisas & Diyat Ordinance (Act II of 1997)" organised by the National Commission on the Status of Women (NCSW) from March 25 to 27 here.
The participants argued that the circumstantial evidence must not be allowed to resile even if the witnesses turn hostile. Justice (retired) Abdul Karim Kundi said the law of Qanoon-e- Shahadat did provide clear provisions to this effect but unfortunately the law had not been enforced in its true spirit.
It was unanimously spelled out on the occasion that the offences under Qisas and Diyat were directed against the legal order of the state as the state was responsible for the life and property of its people.
However, the legal heirs of the victim were vested with the right to demand Qisas or compound the offence and accept Diyat. But this does not stop the state to try the offence and punish the offender, the participants said.
It was unanimously observed that killing in the name of "Ghairat" (generally known as honour killing, Karo Kari and Siya Kari), had no relation to Islam at all. The participants also underlined that wherever this offence was rampant, the state must take strict measures to check it and stop the application and misuse of the law of Qisas and Diyat. The offence, they said, must be made non-compoundable in such cases and the offenders be given exemplary punishments to provide deterrence to the potential perpetrators.
It was also observed that women who were victim of domestic violence should be compensated. Since it's the responsibility of the state to provide justice and protection to its people, specially to the oppressed sections of the society, even in cases where the offence is being compounded, compensation should be made mandatory for the women/families and the accused must be punished under Tazeer.
It was strongly recommended that there was no provision in Quran and Sunnah that a person who was guilty of committing murder of his wife be exempted from Qisas in cases where minor children were left behind as legal heirs.
Therefore the present law must be amended. The participants unanimously opined that Vani/Swara and Watta Satta (exchange marriages) were the pre-Islamic traditions and had no scope in Islam.
The participants were also of the view that the amount of Diyat should be treated as compensation and not inheritance. The majority was of the view that the parameters should be prescribed in Section 338F, Pakistan Penal Code and that the judiciary must be trained in Shariah law.

You are Here >>> Dogs in Care >>> Adoption >>> interactive Dogs
|Border Collie Rescue - On Line - Interactive Dogs
|Do you need a dog for agility, flyball, obedience, working trials or other Interactive Disciplines? We could have just the right dog for you!
|To differentiate from working dogs such as stock dogs, sniffer dogs, SARDA dogs, etc, we refer to non working disciplines for dogs as Interactive Skills.
|Basically we summarise Interactive Skills as any form of disciplined training where a dog and handler work together, as a team, for competition, sport or just fun.
|If you are interested in adopting a dog from us, please contact us on 0845 604 4941 during office hours - 2 pm to 5 pm weekdays.
|Please do not write to us or email us about adoption - we want to speak to you before we start the process.
For more information about our
criteria and the adoption process go to the next page in this section
using the link below.
Criteria for adopting a dog for Interactive Disciplines from Border Collie Rescue
|Most Border Collies need a mission! Our interest is getting dogs into the right sort of homes where they can be happy and realise any potential they have, thus also becoming fulfilled. We also know they do best where they have a one to one relationship with a handler and the two of them can share a common interest and activity that the dog find rewarding.
|Border Collies, being designed and bred to be sheepdogs will normally have a strong instinct to herd. Dogs with such instinct we assess and re-home to herding homes where they can do what comes naturally to the breed. Sheepdogs, Cattle dogs. Etc.
|Others may lack the instinct or ability to herd, but still have a strong work ethic and need to be trained to a life where they can work on a daily basis, with a handler, in order to fulfil the drive they have to be active and mentally stimulated. Dogs such as these we assess and rehome to appropriate working homes where they can do the job best suited to them. Search and Rescue, Police & Prison Service sniffer dogs, Etc
|Other dogs need more than an ordinary Companion home can offer, also having a need to work with a handler in some sort of activity that fulfils their inner drive and needs and this is where Interactive homes come in. We assess dogs for suitability for a range of different disciplines and offer them to homes that can provide them.
|Not every Border Collie is suited to every discipline. Their may be reasons why an individual dog is not suitable for a particular discipline - for example - temperament, physique, level of stamina or simple lack of ability or inclination.
|There is an old saying in agility circles - "If you want to win - get a Border Collie"! - Not really true, but a good selling point for breeders.........
|Quite a lot of Border Collies doing agility are not winners. They are either too hyped up to focus properly, have the wrong body shape and build, can't keep up the pace or can't really be bothered. Other breeds win competitions even though they are up against Border Collies.
|Some Border Collies simply do not bond well enough with their owners to want to go the extra mile - but the right Border Collie will win - or at least do very well.
|We also come across a proportion of ex agility and flyball Border Collies that develop hip, shoulder, spinal, leg cartilage problems and premature arthritis as they get older simply because they were the wrong physique to be doing these sports, but their natural enthusiasm, often encouraged, pushed them too far.
|Some Border Collies are not temperamentally suited to agility or flyball because they are naturally too sensitive and revert to hyperactivity, losing focus when they get too wound up. These more sensitive dogs would more likely excel at obedience. Others, without less inclination, may be better doing some search and scent work and do well in working trials with a variety of different activities to stimulate their brains. Some will play all day and will quickly learn tricks and skills
|So - If you want to win - not damage your dog and get the best from it - perhaps we should say get the 'right' Border Collie - not just any Border Collie.
|As dogs go through our assessment process we look at their potential for a variety of Interactive Skills
|Many dogs we re-home go to Interactive homes for various disciplines, but they have to be suitable in all respects to the discipline they are intended for. People coming to us for an agility dog, a flyball dog, an obedience dog, a dog for working trials, Etc, will only be offered dogs suited to these disciplines.
|We don't have our dogs KC registered under our name or insist on them entering competitions under our prefix or suffix. We are interested in the homes, not the glory! Anyway - the folk that take them on do all the training so they deserve all the credit.
|If you are looking for such a dog for competition, sport or fun, we invite you to get in touch.
|If you are interested in adopting a dog from us, please contact us on 0845 604 4941 during office hours - 2 pm to 5 pm weekdays.

Criteria for adopting a dog for Interactive Disciplines from Border Collie Rescue
|Other relevant information
|We do not sell dogs - we offer dogs for adoption, to remain in their new homes permanently, but with the assurance that if anything goes wrong we will want to take the dog back and look after its interests. In an uncertain world this can be a reassuring safely net for people who care about their dogs.
|Dogs offered for adoption are fully vaccinated, wormed, parasite treated and microchipped. Where appropriate they are neutered or spayed. In any circumstances we do not allow dogs to be bred from or used for breeding purposes and annual booster vaccinations must be maintained by the new owner to protect the dog from infectious disease.
|Adoption is a formal agreement between us and an applicant that they will give a home to a dog and look after it properly for the rest of its life, however we are aware that life sometimes throws up problems and part of the arrangement is that we will always take a dog back, at any time, if the new home is unable to keep it - for any reason.

I recently made a copy of a client's site on another server so I could try out adding a few new features without risk of breaking the live site* - I followed this tutorial.
My question is how do I keep things in sync between the two versions of the site? Is it a matter of following the entire process in the tutorial every time, or are there just certain files / directories that I need to copy across (as well as the database)?
(*I realise I really need to implement a 'development server'—> 'staging server'—> 'live server' setup for my projects, but I'm still trying to get my head round everything - so if anyone has any advice or links to tutorials in this department it would be greatly appreciated)
Many thanks,

Grothe sneaks onto ESPN.com main page
The main story on ESPN.com's front page -- that link obviously will change in a matter of hours -- is the site's Big East football preview, and USF quarterback Matt Grothe is pictured as one of the league's "four Heisman hopefuls."
Funny thing is, when you click through to Ivan Maisel's story on the Big East, there's no mention of Grothe or USF. Maisel lists what are generally considered the league's four top Heisman contenders -- Louisville's Brian Brohm, Rutgers' Ray Rice and West Virginia's combo of running back Steve Slaton and Pat White.
So for whatever reason, Grothe got to bump White out of the front-page picture. Nothing against Grothe, but being the quarterback of a top-five program automatically puts you on the Heisman short lists. Maisel did think enough of Grothe to write a story about him that was posted Tuesday. (Update: ESPN has hedged its caption, which now reads "With plenty of talent on tap, the Big East has all kinds of credibility." Makes more sense now.)
Everybody's writing about the Bulls these days. Yes, that means links for you ...
-- Tony Barnhart, writing in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, tabs USF as one of his five "surprise teams," saying that while everyone has West Virginia or Louisville winning the Big East, "it would be wise not to overlook the Bulls."
-- Always impressed to learn something new and personal about a player, so there's some fun detail to a Matt Grothe feature in Wednesday's Orlando Sentinel. Not sure what a "semi-millimeter" gun is -- and I'm not really a gun guy -- but that seems like some tiny bullets.

Lee led Confederate troops to the mountains of then Western Virginia in his first command of the Civil War.Elkins resident Lesser says Lee's experience with mountain warfare was a failure and defeats here led to him being known in the South as "Granny" Lee. He eventually was recalled to Richmond to serve as an adviser to Jefferson Davis."But he found himself a legendary warhorse in these mountains and learned lessons in leadership that would serve him well as he restored his reputation to become a military icon," Lesser said.Lesser is the author of "Rebels at the Gate" and "The First Campaign: A Guide to Civil War in the Mountains of West Virginia, 1861."

He will speak about how we reconcile the contradictions of a jealous and angry God with the teachings of love, justice and humility.

Are you searching for Illinois marriage records to further your genealogy research? Maybe you are missing a name on a family tree or want to know about someone's previous marriage history. To find marriage records, the greatest place to start is by doing a search through the internet, as many websites, particularly state ones can provide you with tons of information. Some people opt to search through Illinois state libraries and archives which will also give helpful information to aid in your research.
Illinois marriage records are available through a statewide vital records database provided by the Illinois State Archives. Anyone searching for records between the date of 1763 and 1900 can access a marriage index. Beginning in 1985 the Illinois State Genealogical Society worked with the state archives to put together an index that includes over 1 million marriages and 2 million names. The information provided inside of the database index has been pulled from county clerk's marriage records, private individuals and genealogical societies.
When using the index located on the Illinois State Archives to find marriage records, know that the dates that show up when your search results come could be either a date of the marriage or the date that the marriage licenses was issued. Any marriages that were performed in Illinois were not required to be performed in the county where the bride or groom lived. If your search results show up to a county that you weren't expecting, there is an option to search statewide.
The Illinois Department of Public Health doesn't provide copies of Illinois marriage records, however they will redirect you to a list of county and clerk offices. However, the department of public health does have a statewide index of marriages that occurred from 1962 to the present. These marriage records can be searched through and a fee of $5 can help you to verify the facts of the marriage record or find out which county in Illinois the marriage took place in.
An application to perform such a search is required to be filled out and then sent back to the office either by mail, fax or in person. The application to fill out for verification of marriage record files lets you fill out any possible information about the groom, bride and place of marriage. A non-refundable fee for the search through the Illinois department of public health is $5 whether or not a record is actually found.
If you cannot find a marriage record during your first initial search, try again in another area. Sometimes you can find marriage records or other people searching sites by typing the name of the person on the marriage record into a search engine. If you also add the date of the marriage, this can narrow the search down which could possibly result in what you are looking for. If you are trying to find marriage records for the purpose of building up your genealogy or family history you could look up information through the surname of one of the couples on the marriage certificate.
If you would like to secure a copy of an Illinois marriage certificate, follow the instructions below:
Step 1.
Download the Illinois Application for Verification of Marriage Record form.
Step 2.
Complete all information on the form. Make a copy of your valid photo ID to include as well.
Step 3.
Mail or fax the completed form to the address below, and include the fee of $5 payable by check, money order, or credit card. Fax orders must be paid by credit card information included on your request form. Note that credit card orders will include an $8.50 handling charge and a $19.50 UPS charge.
More information is available through the following agency:
Illinois Department of Public Health
Division of Vital Records
925 East Ridgley Avenue
Springfield, IL 62702-2737
Fax: (217) 523-2648
Where to Find Illinois Marriage Records
In Illinois, the County Clerk maintains all of the marriage records that occur within those county's borders. If you would like copies of marriage records, then you must place your request directly with the specific County Clerk in question. However, if you are simply looking for a verification of facts present on a marriage record, then the state's Department of Public Health Division of Vital Records can provide this data for you for marriages from 1962 to the present.
Restrictions Regarding Illinois Marriage Records
Illinois laws have made marriage certificates confidential records. You may only obtain a certified copy or verification of marriage records if you are specifically named on the marriage certificate, or if you can prove that you have a tangible interest in the person or persons in the certificate.
Where to Request Certified Copies of Marriage Records
Certified copies of marriage records may be requested directly with the County Clerk's office where the marriage took place. You may go to the Illinois Dept. of Public Health website to find a list of all county clerks and courts in Illinois.

Hey everyone, something of quandary. Whenever you don't have time to blog, should you write an entry to say that you don't have time to blog, who simply not blog? Either way, I'm going out to the pub, and so well ... you'll have to look elsewhere for your enlightenment. Try one from the list of 'happenings' to the bottom right, or take a chance with the webrings on the bottom left ... I'm sure you'll find something at least a bit funny...

More than 5,000 local and foreign tourists took express trains to Lao Cai Railways Station on April 28 to spend the four-day holiday enjoying the cooler weather in the tourist town of Sapa.
The Lao Cai provincial Bus Station mobilised more than 200 coaches and 100 taxis to transport the tourists to Sapa.
Tuoitre newspaper reported that National Highway 4D was crowded with long lines of coaches and taxis, making their way from Lao Cai city to Sapa town.
Local residents in Lao Cai city also took their families to the famous tourist destination, ramming up traffic flows en route to Sapa even further.
Local authorities said the number of holidaymakers to Sapa on April 28 surpassed the expected 10,000 mark.
Le Manh Hao, an official in charge of culture and sports in Sapa district, said more than 160 mini hotels and guesthouses in the tourist town are fully booked.
If the number of tourists continues to increase in the coming days, nearby tourist villages and private guesthouses will have to help out with accommodation for the holidaymakers, he said.
According to Hao, tourist villages in Ta Van, Ta Phin and Ban Ho, about 5-10km from Sapa town, have all been refurbished to welcome visitors. Indigenous specialities such as black chickens, fish from the streams, free range ducks and bamboo shoots have also been reserved to serve tourists.
The 2012 Sapa Tourism Week began on April 27 with the annual "Festival in the Clouds," attracting thousands of spectators.
On the evening of April 28, a culinary festival will be held, introducing visitors to local dishes such as cơm lam (rice cooked in bamboo tubes), thắng cố (a mixture of pork, beef, buffalo and horse meat), wild boar, black chicken, salmon, phở chua (sour noodles), mèn mén (steamed corn powder), and corn and rice wine.

Our new beauty blogger Erin Rice answers your questions on make-up and beauty.
How can I pick the perfect shade of foundation?
Loading article content
A. Choosing the correct foundation shade can be daunting and potentially disastrous. From Porcelain Ivory to Honey Beige, how are you ever going to know which shade is the right one for you?
This is where I have perfected picking the right shade, saving myself from many unnecessary purchases. And now you can do the same.
The correct foundation shade is essential to any make-up look and if it's not accurate it can result in nasty tide lines and uneven faces.
First things first; do not ever, and I repeat, ever test foundation shades on your hand or wrist. This is one of the biggest mistakes you can make. Always test foundations along your jaw line. Even if you are in the middle of Boots, no one is going to care - I do it all the time! Pick three shades you think are closest matched to your natural skin tone and make three strokes on your jaw line, blending each one in. Whichever one naturally disappears is the correct shade for you.
Another fail safe way to find the right shade is to simply go to a make-up counter and ask to be matched up; they will do the exact same three stroke procedure and pick the correct one for you. Furthermore, instead of buying on the day, ask for a sample. Most beauty counters will provide you with one. If not, take in an empty tub and they should happily oblige. This way you can really test run the foundation to ensure it's perfect for you.
I always recommend not buying your foundation on the day of trying out different shades. Once you have tried it out and you think it's the correct colour for you, walk around and have a think about it. You may even notice that what you think looked good in the store is actually not a great colour for you in natural light and you may have to try a different shade. By doing this, you will save yourself from any mistakes and disappointing (not to mention expensive!) purchases.
One last tip; don't go for brands that have limited colour choice. My personal favourite brand choices that have a great range of shades are:
L' Oreal - True Match (£9.99)
Laura Mercier - Silk Crème (£33.00)
Nars - Sheer Glow/Sheer Matte (£29.50)

AAA Statement from CEO Bob Darbelnet
ORLANDO, Fla., June 5, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- "The complete Valukas report examining General Motors' failures related to its ignition switch recall describes at least 11 instances in which GM was negligent in addressing the issue, and documents consistent patterns of misconduct and poor judgment by GM employees that put consumers unknowingly at risk for more than a decade.
"The company had repeated opportunities to take appropriate measures to remedy the problem, but did not act.On at least two occasions, GM refused to accept the findings of outside investigations, including those of a trooper with the Wisconsin state police and the Indiana University Transportation Research Center. In addition, undocumented changes to the defective switch made ultimate identification of the issue all the more difficult.
"AAA is encouraged by the announcement that General Motors accepts responsibility for the deadly delayed recall, and GM's promise to aggressively address future safety issues. However, the report also reveals a corporate culture that placed business interests above the safety of consumers. A systemic reluctance to raise and react to critical safety concerns at GM reflects an ingrained culture thatcouldrequire years to fully eradicate.
"While the Valukas report provides valuable insight into the root causes of GM's delayed ignition switch recalls, the report itself will not bring about change. AAAbelieves that GM's promise of reform should be supplemented with greater federal oversight of the recall system."
As North America's largest motoring and leisure travel organization, AAA provides more than 54 million members with travel, insurance, financial and automotive-related services. Since its founding in 1902, the not-for-profit, fully tax-paying AAA has been a leader and advocate for the safety and security of all travelers. AAA clubs can be visited on the Internet at AAA.com.

A procedure using linear programming and Bayesian analysis for incorporating risks associated with cattle prices and forage yields was developed for maximizing net ranch income in the Southern Plains of Texas. Risk-efficient production/marketing (buy/sell) strategies included strategies which assume normal and low cattle prices and low and normal forage production. Only one of the enterprises in the risk-efficient strategies constituted a traditional marketing approach of spring buying and fall selling.

This is for the newer posters who were not here a few years ago.....
Short version...
There were a group of guys who hung out in the Box and they called themselves " P-Box Nation "
Although there was no actual list of names that I ever saw, I would guess there was about 20 of them. I could probably rhyme off about 15 names that I recall.....But I don't want to give them that individual notoriety.
I had my battles with most of them [ lbcake could confirm that ] and it was fun because most of them could actually fight back with witty banter......Unlike these days. Some pretty good cappers amongst them too.
When some moron got boxed and would try to make a name for himself by challenging any of them with a back and forth.....They were usually humilliated so badly that when they were released, .....they didn't come back.
The thing I did admire about the Nation Boys is that they didn't let anyone into their group that were obvious suck-ups.
I recall one poster in particular that was always blatently sucking up to them and it was always funny watching his lame attempts for acceptance that you just knew he wouldn't get. Starwingroup
For whatever reason most of the Nation Boys and a few other invited posters decided to leave Covers as a group and I believe started a site on their own or something. Although we didn't get along it was a shame that they left.....Much more entertainment in the Box back then.
Starwingroup was NOT one of the invited and is obviously bitter about it because he feels safe to give them shots once in a while now. That and the fact that Drew and Iron_Mike WERE invited.
Looks like Wingroupy is starting his own " All New P-Box Nation " group with the likes of other well-respected witty Cappers......
What an All-star cast.
Can't wait to see who else joins this Unstoppable Force that will rule the world.
,,Always hearted The Nation,,,,,,,

With two weeks down and two weeks to go the Miami Marlins have a 7-6 record and are coming off a week in which they went 2-4-2, whoever unlike the record would indicate the fish had pretty good outing form most of their major league pitchers and in a few cases just had a minor league in at the end of the game who got hit hard. For example on Sunday the Marlins loss 4-2 to the Cardinals, but saw Carlos Zambrano go 4 inning in which he gave up just one run while striking out 7. They lost the game because Rob Delany gave up three earned runs in the 8th. Also in the Marlins split squad loss to the Twins, Nolasco had 5 good innings giving up only one run, but Eli Villanueva gave up 5 hits and three runs in the ninth after Mike Dunn gave up a run in the 8th and the Marlins lost 5-2.
The Marlins other real problem has been from the plate. In the eight games the Marlins played this week they averaged just 2.125 runs per game, and many of the Marlins big time hitters are not producing. Jose Reyes is only 4 of 25 (.160) so far this spring, and guys like Gaby Sanchez, Scott Cousins, Donnie Murphy, Chris Coghlan, Giancarlo Stanton, Bryan Peterson, and Brett Hayes all have batting averages under .240. The four players who are really carrying the load for the Marlins has been Hanley Ramirez (11 for 22 with 4 runs, 6 RBI, 2 HR), Emilio Bonifacio (7 for 24 with 4 runs, 2 RBI, 1 HR and 2 stolen bases), Omar Infante (7 for 18 with 3 runs, 1 RBI, 1 HR), and Donovan Solano who continues to produce (10 for 24 with an run and 2 stolen Bases). Matt Dominguez, John Buck, and Austin Kerns have also been having nice springs, all with identical .286 batting averages.
However the most impressive player this spring continues to be Wade LeBalanc. He came in for a relief of Anibal on Wednesday and pitched four perfect inning as got his second win of the Spring. So Wade, who the Marlins received from the Padres for John Baker, has pitched 10 1/3 innings and has given up just one hit and no walks while striking out nine. Compare those numbers to Mark Buehrle who was the Marlins big free agent pitcher signing this winter who in 9 1/3 innings has struck out five, walked four, given up 15 hits and 10 earned runs. It may only be spring training, but with the way that LaBlanc is pitching the Marlins may need to think about finding a way for him to pitch some games this year and possibly using a six man rotation instead of five,
Meanwhile Greg Dobbs (small tear in hamstring), Logan Morrison (sore right knee), and Giancarlo Stanton all were held out of most of the games this bast week due to various injuries. None of them are suppose to me that serious, but Logan Morrion has only played in two games thus far this spring. While Stanton was hit by a pitch last week on the wrist, xrays were negative. The injury that is currently keeping him out is sore ness in his left knee. Stanton is currently unable to run on it right now and hopes to make it back in a Marlins lineup when the fish take on the Yankees at the new park on April 1. The one reliever for the Marlins who has still yet to make his spring debut is Randy Choate, who is out with a strained muscle on his right side and he hopes to be ready to go on opening day. The one good note on the injury fron is that Anibal Sanchez was able to make his first start of the spring on Wednesday; he pitched two inning giving up just two hits and striking out four.
The Marlins also this week cut down their Spring Training roster so we should see way more of the Marlins players who are expected to start the season with the team next week. Some of the moves that were made were; Sean West, Matt Dominguez, Chris Hatcher, Sandy Rosario, Kevin Mattinson, Dan Jennings, Alex Sanabia, and Tom Koehler were all optioned to the New Orleans Zaphers and Brad Hand, and Evan Reed were optioned to the Jacksonville Sun. It should beinteresting to see how long Nick Green and Aaron Rowan stay with the Marlins as both players have struggles to say the least so far this spring (Rowan is 2 for 29 with 5 SO and Green is 2 for 16 with 4 SO).

A FAMILY have expressed their gratitude to a bright young boy and his dad who rushed to help an injured toddler in a park – while they waited 45 minutes for an ambulance.
Connor Barringer, who is 21 months old, was playing in a park in Leigh Beck Road, Canvey, on Friday evening, when he tripped over a scooter and banged his head on a bench.
His aunt Claire Joffries, 24, who was at the park with Connor and his mum, Cara Palmer, 22, said the accident caused a deep cut in the boy's head, which was bleeding heavily.
She said: "When my sister picked him up, blood was gushing out from everywhere. Obviously at the time we thought it was bad because the split looked quite deep."
During the incident, ten-year-old Daniel Harding, who lives nearby, saw what happened and ran to get help from his dad, who is a trained first aider.
Anthony Harding, 44, rushed to young Connor and placed a bandage on his head as they waited for an ambulance.
Miss Joffries added: "The young boy is a star. In just that small space of time he ran to get his dad. It was impressive.
"Anthony came and bandaged Connor's head. He even stayed with us while we waited for the ambulance.
"It took 45 minutes to come and we called three times.
"I understand they have to prioritise but if they didn't advise me to keep Connor still, I would've driven to the hospital myself."
Mr Harding says his son deserves the credit.
He said: "It was down to Daniel. He saw what happened and ran back home. He came in and told me I had to grab my first aid kit because a baby was injured.
"I think it took about three attempts to get the ambulance to come so I stayed until it got there.
"The boy's mum was also really shaken, so as well as making sure the baby was OK, I made sure she was ok too.
"But he was a brave little boy."
Miss Joffries has also thanked another resident, Elaine Rising, who lives opposite, in Leigh Beck Road.
She provided the family with refreshments during the wait.
She said: "The woman gave out tea and biscuits to everyone."
After the ambulance arrived, Connor was taken to Basildon Hospital where he received treatment.
He was released later that day.

Winners were Mason Denogean, Elvis Tello, Ansley Brito, Cesar Garcia and Teyha Ballesteros.


text: I recently started playing this free app on my phone and found it to be enjoyable, but there was a situation in the chat room I found disturbing. It became clear that the chat room was run with an iron fist and anything that the moderators considered to be negative would result in a ban. Now we're talking about innocent types of discussion points, such as "true blood and vampire diary fans should leave now" types of things. When I mentioned that this was a bit extreme the Moderator "Daath" asked me to basically change the topic and move on. Anyway... I complained to the developers and got a lackluster response comprising of how it was a free game, etc. I then went to say bye to a few people on chat and we were clowning around and they were asking what happened etc... long story short, the Moderator jumped on and banned my primary character... then my secondary character. I finally got on with another screen name and tried to talk to him, but then he started deleting posts of mine that he didn't like. I then went to the online forums on their website and left this moderator negative feedback, which I felt he very much deserved. They proceeded to ban my account for "slander" and stated that it would never be active again. While the initial game is decent, the social aspect of any online game is key to its success. After you beat the single player mode (takes about 10 to 15 hours), the pvp and chat room portions of the game become key... and there's no point to playing this part of the game if the administrators are going to behave in such a manner. I would advise anyone to avoid this game at this point... of course, that is always your decision to make.

'The Impossible'
Rated: PG-13.
Suitable for: Teenagers and up, keeping the subject matter in mind.
What you should know: This is the harrowing story of a family of five -- wife, husband and their three boys -- vacationing in Thailand in December 2004 when the tsunami hits. The destruction is vividly and expertly dramatized in this movie inspired by real events. It stars Naomi Watts and Ewan McGregor as the parents and Tom Holland as the oldest of their three sons.
Language: A couple of stronger versions of heck.
Sexual situations and nudity: A woman's breast is briefly exposed, a moment that embarrasses her son, when the strap on her top gives way after it's ripped by water and debris.
Violence/scary situations: Lots, once the tsunami hits, sweeping away people, killing others, separating parents and children, leaving mounds of debris and sometimes bodies, and creating a chaotic hospital where people live and die. One leg gash is particularly bloody, raising questions about whether the limb can be saved.
Alcohol and drug use: Nothing out of the ordinary.familyfilms

A Cheatham County man says he was choked Thursday morning in an incident of road rage.
The father of two told Nashville's News 2 Investigates it happened in front of his children, ages five and 10, while they were on their way to school.
Just after 7 a.m., Brian Williams says he encountered two vehicles blocking the intersection of Old Clarksville Highway and Shahan Road in Pleasant View.
Unsure what was going on, the 32-year-old says he quickly tapped on his honk to let them know another motorist was trying to pass.
Soon after, an angry, muscular man approaches and explains that his daughter is stuck up ahead in a ditch.
According to Williams, the man then reaches through his open window, puts his hand around his neck and proceeds to choke him.
"Oh he was trying to choke me out," he recalled, adding, "This was a, 'I want you dead kind of thing.'"
Frightened, Williams says he started to drive away yet the man's hand remained around his neck.
"I'm thinking, 'Oh my gosh I have my kids right beside me. I just want to get to work and school. There is no sense in this.'"
He added, "If I had my carry permit and handgun on me I probably would have used lethal force."
Eventually the man let go and, after arriving at his children's school, Williams called 911.
By the time investigators respond to the scene, the vehicles and the man were gone.
According to Williams, the man was driving a white box van with no lettering.
He is described as five foot, seven inches tall with a dark, Hawaiian-like complexion. The motorist he was assisting was driving a white Jeep.
Anyone with information is urged to call the Cheatham County Sheriff's Department.
