[private]The average senior in high school usually finishes out the year by going to the beach and such with their classmates once they graduate. A few others have a unique focus and take education very seriously and they have enough credits to graduate early. You don't see this as often with kids who have signed to play major college football, but Duke welcomes four new faces to campus for the spring semester.
Four members of Coach David Cutcliffes 2009 recruiting class - Kevin Rojas, Ryan Hall, Sydney Sarmiento and Zach Greene are already on campus and adjusting to the environment early on.
Ryan Hall is a 6-3, 230 pound tight end who played his high school football at Olympic in Orlando, Florida. Hall is considered one of the top players at his position, one which was depth shy last season for the Blue Devils.
Hall is already rooming with another young man in Kevin Rojas, a 6-2 outside linebacker who played his high school ball just down the road from Durham at Wakefield. Rojas is just one of many in state prospects Duke has had success with under the new staff and he will began the next level of his education just days ago.
Another outstanding in state prospect from neighboring Raleigh will join the group. That being Zach Greene a kid with the kind of speed that Duke is currently recruiting. The 5-10, 170 pound secondary prospect carried a 3.8 GPA which allowed him to enroll and participate in the upcoming spring practices.
The fourth early entry is definitely the largest. Sydney Sarmiento is a 6-4, 250 pound prospect from West Florence, South Carolina. Like Greene, he come with a 3.8 GPA in hand and will now start to adjust to being a college student.
All four of the prospects will be working as a group with Duke Strength and Conditioning Coach Noel Durfey. The incoming 2009 prospects will be Cutcliffe and companies first true recruiting class.[/private]

The Peerless Prognosticator is ON THE AIR!!!
It's another Saturday Night Southeast Cage Match! The Washington Capitals host the Florida Panthers in a key divisional tilt. It is a contest that…
Aw, hell... it's the "Battle of the 20-Somethings"…
- As in ranked in the 20's in scoring (Caps tied for 23rd, Panthers tied for 20th.
- As in ranked in the 20's in defense (tied for 29th, 27th).
- As in ranked in the 20's in penalty killing (27th and 21st).
- As in ranked in the 20's in 5-on-5 (27th and…oops, the Panthers are 30th).
- As in ranked in the 20's in minor penalties (24th and tied for 20th).
- As in ranked in the 20's in winning percentage in games decided by three or more goals (tied for 24th – last, and tied for 20th)
The short version? They're not so good. And this is the defending division champion (Florida) and the four-time defending division champion before them (Washington).
The difference between the teams is that one of them is actually playing decent hockey. It is not the home team. The Panthers are 3-0-1 in their last four games, although you might say their competition has been weak. They split two decisions with 11th place Winnipeg, a 6-3 win and a 3-2 overtime loss. Their other two wins came at the expense of 14th place Buffalo, in a 4-3 decision, and in a Gimmick over 13th place Philadelphia, 3-2.
Still, in posting that 3-0-1 record in their last four games, the Panthers have shown a competence the Caps have not. For one thing, they have been able to score – 14 goals over those four games, including twice posting more than four goals, something the Caps have yet to do this season. And at the other end, they killed off 10 of 12 penalties in those four games. An 83.3 percent penalty kill rate is not what one might regard as excellent, but it certainly beats the 8-for-13 (61.5 percent) posted by the Caps over their last four games.
Here is how the teams stack up overall so far in the tale of the tape…
1. In Florida's case, balance = success. In their 3-0-1 mini-run, 11 different players have goals, 17 different players have points. A pair of Tomas' lead the Panthers in scoring in those four games – Fleischmann (2-3-5) and Kopecky (1-4-5).
2. After going 2-for-24 (8.3 percent) on the power play in their previous five games, the Panthers are 5-for-14 in their last four contests (35.7 percent).
3. One ingredient of the Panthers' recent success – shots allowed. In their last four games Panther goaltenders have faced only 23.6 shots per 60 minutes.
4. Only one team has been involved in more three-goal decisions than the Panthers so far this season. In ten games played, Florida is 2-4 in such games, although each of their last three games were one-goal decisions.
5. Last season, Florida earned 32 of their 94 standings points in games going to extra time, a 7-18 record in such games. So far this season they have earned three of their nine points in that fashion (1-1).
1. Comparing the Caps to the Panthers over their last four games, the Caps are 1-3-0. They are 4-for-14 on the power play, but only 8-for-13 on the penalty kill. They have been outscored by that 8-4 margin on special teams, and have been outscored 8-6 at even strength.
2. When you score only ten goals in four games, as the Caps have done, balance is not quite the virtue it is as when you score 16, as Florida has over their last four. Eight different Caps have those ten goals, three of them by Mike Ribeiro and seven other Caps with one apiece.
3. Mike Ribeiro leads the Caps in goals and points over the last four games (3-2-5), with Alex Ovechkin and Nicklas Backstrom right behind (both with 1-3-4 marks). Hey, all of them are at or better than a point a game in these four games, what gives? Well, for one thing, the rest of the point scoring is evenly distributed among forwards and defensemen (six points for each group), but only three forwards not already mentioned in this paragraph have points (Troy Brouwer, Wojtek Wolski, and Marcus Johansson), It's that old secondary scoring thing again.
4. Braden Holtby stopped 63 of 74 shots faced in the Caps' last four games, while Michal Neuvirth stopped 27 of 32 shots. A .851 save percentage and a .844 save percentage -- .849 overall. The position is goalTENDER, not goalALLOWER.
5. If the Caps lose this contest in regulation, it will make it their worst 12-game start since going 1-11-0 to start the 1981-1982 season.
The Peerless' Players to Ponder
Florida: Jose Theodore
That the Panthers are 3-0-1 in their last four games is not a product of goaltending. Jose Theodore might be 3-0-0 over Florida's last four contests, but Theodore has a goals-against average of 2.60 and a save percentage of .897. Those are Vezina Trophy numbers compared to what the Caps are doing these days, but Theodore hasn't really stolen any of the wins. He has faced only 25 shots per 60 minutes in his streak. His career record against the Caps is not much better, a 2.58 GAA and .902 save percentage to go along with a 7-10-1 record in 20 career appearances.
Washington: Jason Chimera
Through 11 games Jason Chimera is fifth on the team in shots on goal (23) and has nothing to show for it. This is the longest he has gone to start a season without a goal since he went 15 games without one to start the 2006-2007 season. One could say that the Caps are not getting enough goal scoring from Alex Ovechkin and Nicklas Backstrom (five goals between them), but the Caps are not getting enough scoring from anywhere these days (save for Mike Ribeiro). Getting some support from underneath would be helpful.
1. The Early Bird Catches the Worm. Florida has allowed 12 first period goals and 14 second period goals in ten games. Here is the Caps' opportunity to improve on their 12th place rank in first period goals scored or, perhaps more important, improve on the paltry six goals scored in the second period (third worst).
2. Don't be "Lame" in the Middle Frame. The Caps have those six second period goals. They also have allowed 19. That minus-13 goal differential accounts for almost the entire goal-differential (minus-15) the Caps have compiled in regulation through 11 games.
3. Be the Puck. The Caps skaters have had their defensive lapses, to be sure, but on the other hand Washington goaltenders have had to face only 26.5 shots per game, too. That is hardly a heavy volume (over the full season to date it would rank as sixth fewest). The goalies simply have to start stopping more pucks, especially at even strength. The old proverb goes that a goalie needs to be a team's best penalty killer, but the even strength save percentage over the last four games of .866 is abominable.
In the end, here we are. Two games against a very beatable opponent, and a divisional opponent at that. But do not take the Panthers lightly; they are playing effectively, if their defense and goaltending is a bit leaky. The Caps are five points out of a playoff spot, but the eighth place team – the Carolina Hurricanes – have two games in hand on the Caps. If they don't get two points tonight – four points in the next four days at the expense of the Panthers in this home-and-home set – well…
Capitals 4 – Panthers 3

@ Steve Thomas I was not aware of Marlene Winell and looked up her links. Great information and well worth the time and effort to find. I signed up for National Institute of Relationship Enhancement®
and Center for Couples, Families and Children. Looking forward to their information. Thanks.
Oh, well, Intrinsic, we ALL contributed in one way or another. I sang in the boys' choir, was an acolyte, and played Joseph in the Mithrasmas pageant. And when I got to college I backed down in dormitory arguments on the existence of God due to then ignorance of fallacious logic, as when the son of a "minister" who tried to convince that I, too, had faith, by referring to the wall switch and saying, "when you throw it, you have faith the lights will go on." (It did not occur to me point out that there was a 50-50 chance determined on scientific factors, the weather, brown outs, &c., or that the fallacy of false equivalences applied.)
@ James. I'm sorry, but I was an unwitting participant. When I lived in San Antonio, not far from you, I contributed (back in 2004) over 100 hours on two pro bono amicus briefs for Good News Clubs, establishing their right to have their flyers distributed in backpacks. I was also a childhood victim of this type of brainwashing.
This project is my penance. I want to bring attention to this issue, and over time to scale back the harm to which I contributed.
@ Intrinsic: I do not feel well. I suspect God is punishing me for my wicked, wicked life. The vid you post is nauseating to me. I shut it off after a few seconds, a minute or so at most. I cannot endure any more images of child abuse than I've already seen in my 69 years.
Congested quite, as I now have chronic bronchitis, always a possibility for a former user of nicotine and formaldehyde (both of which, as we know, are present in that product we'd "walk a mile" for). Somehow, I cannot see myself in a grocers with a tank of oxygen. I've also lost both taste and smell. Other than that, God blesses me with such health as He wants me to have, thank you.
Religious child abuse is now occurring in over 3000 public elementary schools through Child Evangelism Fellowship's Good News Clubs. See my mini-documentary.

Genesis 1 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
The Creation
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth was [a]formless and void, and darkness was over the [b]surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was [c]moving over the [d]surface of the waters. 3 Then God said, "Let there be light"; and there was light. 4 God saw that the light was good; and God separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light day, and the darkness He called night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day.
6 Then God said, "Let there be [e]an expanse in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters." 7 God made the [f]expanse, and separated the waters which were below the [g]expanse from the waters which were above the [h]expanse; and it was so. 8 God called the [i]expanse heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, a second day.
9 Then God said, "Let the waters below the heavens be gathered into one place, and let the dry land appear"; and it was so. 10 God called the dry land earth, and the gathering of the waters He called seas; and God saw that it was good. 11 Then God said, "Let the earth sprout [j]vegetation, [k]plants yielding seed, and fruit trees on the earth bearing fruit after [l]their kind [m]with seed in them"; and it was so. 12 The earth brought forth [n]vegetation, [o]plants yielding seed after [p]their kind, and trees bearing fruit [q]with seed in them, after [r]their kind; and God saw that it was good. 13 There was evening and there was morning, a third day.
14 Then God said, "Let there be [s]lights in the [t]expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night, and let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and years; 15 and let them be for [u]lights in the [v]expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth"; and it was so. 16 God made the two [w]great lights, the greater [x]light [y]to govern the day, and the lesser [z]light [aa]to govern the night; He made the stars also. 17 God placed them in the [ab]expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth, 18 and [ac]to govern the day and the night, and to separate the light from the darkness; and God saw that it was good. 19 There was evening and there was morning, a fourth day.
20 Then God said, "Let the waters [ad]teem with swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth [ae]in the open [af]expanse of the heavens." 21 God created the great sea monsters and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarmed after their kind, and every winged bird after its kind; and God saw that it was good. 22 God blessed them, saying, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth." 23 There was evening and there was morning, a fifth day.
24 Then God said, "Let the earth bring forth living creatures after [ag]their kind: cattle and creeping things and beasts of the earth after [ah]their kind"; and it was so. 25 God made the beasts of the earth after [ai]their kind, and the cattle after [aj]their kind, and everything that creeps on the ground after its kind; and God saw that it was good.
26 Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the [ak]sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth." 27 God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. 28 God blessed them; and God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the [al]sky and over every living thing that [am]moves on the earth." 29 Then God said, "Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the [an]surface of all the earth, and every tree [ao]which has fruit yielding seed; it shall be food for you; 30 and to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the [ap]sky and to every thing that [aq]moves on the earth [ar]which has life, I have given every green plant for food"; and it was so. 31 God saw all that He had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.

. . . their "innovative" BD lines. They killed my BD390 with FW updates they sent me on discs and now don't what to talk about it. In the beginning they were attentive and right there. Once it was decided that they killed my player, they are no where to be found. And many newer and some older BD releases will not play on their machines, FW update or not. That's my problem. Oh and now files are locking up the UI. And the UI is locking itself up. They did make a special update for Avatar though.
And what happened to the multi-channel out on the "newer" machines. Looks like they are stripping these down, not dressing them up. Now the WiFi (802.11n) 2.4 or 5GHz? Their 2.4n is slow and drops a lot. But then hardwire is always the best. Even off a 5GHz repeater.
Sounds like there were many problems with the two test models here and I trust all their "innovative" Lucky Goldstar junk.

Super Bowl Partytime: Desserts to Bring or Serve
Unless you've been under a rock on Mars, you may have noticed all of our Super Bowl coverage. We've gone over wings, chili, and dips, but what about dessert? It usually gets relegated to packaged cookies and other unimaginative fare. For shame! We can do better than that!
Cupcakes are a given. You can decorate them in team colors and even put little football sprinkles on top. I like mixing up the flavors with a stout beer buttercream, which would go nicely with a basic devil's food.
Sweet and Salty
Momofuku Milk Bar's sugar czarina Christina Tosi's famous compost cookies—potato chips, pretzels, chocolate chips, corn chips, and basically whatever else you want to throw in a cookie—are a natural fit. Heck, if you've done your snack shopping already, you probably have everything you need on hand.
Compost cookies are the perfect example of the sublime marriage between sweet and salty. You can go so many directions from here. Compost brownies! Whatever you feel like, really.
Paula Deen's homemade Kit Kat bars would be a surefire hit as well. Or what about a chesecake with a pretzel crust?
I happen to think that a little liquor can perk up almost any sweet. The aforementioned cupcakes and brownies get a bit tipsy. And any recipe that calls for an extract? You can substitute any liquor, measure for measure. Vanilla extract is, after all, just vanilla beans steeped in a neutral spirit.
Try using more herbaceous, savory liquors too, like chartreuse. It pairs well with a surprising amount of flavors. Or, y'know, pretty much anything out of SE columnist Lucy Baker's cookbook The Boozy Baker, like these beer profiteroles with chocolate-beer sauce.
Or boozy milkshakes? Try this mocha-caramel kahlua milkshake or this vanilla bean bourbon one. Or just grab a six-pack of stout and some ice cream and you're good to go.
Somewhere between whimsical and straight-up kitschy is where I like my desserts to stay. I'd put a Jell-O mold pretty far towards the kitschy end—unless you're the Jello Mold Mistress of Brooklyn. Then you have all kinds of gorgeous and sophisticated gelatin-based desserts to choose from (even an agar-based vegan one!)
I'm a big fan of chocolate pudding, too—simple, comforting, popular. You can make it in individual plastic cups—homemade snack packs for everyone!
If you really want to engage your guests (or you'll have a fair amount of them who are uninterested in football), a DIY sundae bar takes no time to throw together (and, really, saves you the work of making anything). Fruit, syrups, nuts, crushed cookies—you'll please everyone with the toppings bar. Well, everybody who wants dessert.
Short of renting a chocolate fountain, though, I think the best chocolate option is fondue. It's crazy easy, and you totally don't need a fancy fondue pot (though by all means, if you have one go for it). Just transfer the warm fondue into a bowl and zap it in the microwave when it gets cool. You could even do the double-boiler thing and put the bowl on top of a pan of boiled water to keep it warm—just make sure it's not in any danger of getting knocked over (hot water burns plus chocolate stains do not a fun party make).

On 16 June 2007 Richard Ford, editor of FAMILIA, addressed the West Gauteng Branch of the GSSA on the matter of "How to be Published in Familia, the quarterly journal of the Genealogical Society of South Africa".
Below follows Richard's summary.
Familia was launched 43 years ago when the Genealogical Society of SA was founded in August 1964. In all this time it has had only four editors:
- Cor Pama served in that position for 30 years until 1994;
- Next was Gideon de Kock of Port Elizabeth who served for two years till 1996;
- Thys du Preez followed him and held the reins for nine years until 2005;
- The National Executive Committee appointed me two years ago.
- How many articles did he have on hand after he had published the March 2005 edition? It was a record 56-pager, and he told me that he had printed every word he had received;
- Second question: how did he generate articles? Simple, he said, one waits for people to send them in and those are published. The size of every edition, thus, depended on what one received from contributors and
- Lastly I wanted to know how the editorial committee worked. How often did it meet? Did it give him a rough time, and was I supposed to keep the committee on? He suggested that the committee members would probably be relieved if they never heard from me.
Turning to the now: what should you do to have your hard work published in Familia?
The product and readership
One must bear in mind that Familia is the official mouthpiece of the Society. It was created by Cor Pama to serve the members – to give them information to help them in their research and to provide them with the means to display their work to the genealogical community.
For many members Familia is the only visible manifestation of what the Genealogical Society is about. It can be likened to a product sold by any supplier. Customers will keep on buying this product and it will attract more customers, depending on the extent that it satisfies the customer's expectations and needs.
For this reason the editor must do his job with the understanding that the customer, the reader is the important person, not the writer of the article. This is a judgement call. One man, with the help of his editorial committee, decides what the reader wants and what he or she will find interesting and useful.
If we were to run the Society like any company that believes the customer is king, we would use some basic marketing disciplines to determine the level of customer satisfaction. To find out what improvements to the product would result in a greater level of membership renewals and would attract new customers, we would do a remarkably simple thing. We would ask the customer.
However, in the absence of formal research, I have adopted a different approach. That is to sell the sizzle not the steak. So I focused on appearance and delivery. It seems to have worked – the journals now reach subscribers in the month of publication and this swifter delivery has spurred contributors to speed up their submissions.
Until we do carry out any research, you as the potential contributor to Familia, need to know what the editor wants from you. It's not difficult. Typically we welcome articles such as:
- Family trees;
- Character stories, irrespective of how well known or unknown they are;
- Historical events and
- Advice on doing research.
- Character assassinations and
- Blatant promotion of an interest or a product.
In our multicultural society, the question of language is always an interesting one. As a rule we try and give equal prominence to English and Afrikaans. To put a frame around this issue:
- I have been responsible for the publication of nine editions of the journal;
- Those nine editions carried a total of 60 articles and
- 33 Afrikaans and 27 English or, if you like, a split of 55:45 percent in favour of Afrikaans.
Something else that should not frighten off any author is a belief that you can't write well. As editor, I retain the right to edit your contribution for language and style. By that I mean that I read every article with an imaginary blue pencil in hand. I scratch and delete and fix. Where I can, I check published sources for names and places. When I need the author to do some more work on an article, I send it back with a list of questions and suggestions.
In other words, it is a collaborative process.
To borrow the classic approach from the real estate industry, position, position, position – my final word of advice to you is: submit, submit, submit.

Bucs place Barmes on disabled list
PITTSBURGH -- Clint Barmes was placed on the 15-day disabled with a left groin strain on Sunday, and the Pirates called up infielder Michael Martinez from Triple-A Indianapolis to take his spot on the 25-man roster.
Barmes, 35, has played in 42 games for the Bucs this season, often appearing as a defensive substitute. The injury is likely to sideline him for a month to six weeks. At the plate in his third season with the Pirates, Barmes has a slash line of .239/.320/.284 in 88 at-bats.
Martinez was promoted for his defensive flexibility, as he can play shortstop, second and third base and center field. Barmes' injury will also mean more time in the infield for utilityman Josh Harrison.
Pirates general manager Neal Huntington said the team would prefer to stay within the franchise to fill Barmes' void, and he mentioned Triple-A infielder Robert Andino and newly signed Dean Anna (also in Triple-A) as other potential players who could join the big league club at some point.
"You always hope the internal option is the best option, but we wouldn't be doing our jobs if we didn't look for external options," Huntington said. "Josh will get more time at short. He was probably going to get time at short anyway; he'll get more time now. Martinez will take Barmes' role as that versatile defender off the bench."
This is Martinez's second stint with the Pirates this season. He was also with them for a June series in Miami, in which he made one start against the Marlins, going 0-for-3. Martinez was in the opposite clubhouse of his former team, the Phillies, as the Pirates wrapped up a three-game set with their Keystone State foes on Sunday.
Entering Sunday, Martinez had played in 163 Major League games, hitting .185 with a .493 OPS. At Indianapolis this season, the 31-year-old has hit .252 in 79 games and was batting at a .423 clip in his past eight contests.

Through most of the last two decades, the result of an Ashes series in Australia has been a foregone conclusion even before the first ball has been bowled. England last won a series in Australia in 1986-87, by a 2-1 margin. Since then, they've lost five in a row, and each emphatically. In 25 Tests during this period, England have lost 18 and won three, one of which was a dead rubber.
However, there's reason to believe things could be different this time around, as much due to England's excellent recent form as Australia's problems with form and fitness. England are ranked higher in the ICC Test rankings, and have a better win-loss ratio in the last two years, winning 12 and losing four, to Australia's 12-6. In the corresponding two-year period before the previous Ashes series in Australia, Australia had won 15 matches and lost only two. Both those losses had come against England in 2005, but apart from that Australia had won almost everything, including beating South Africa in five out of six Tests, home and away, in 2005-06.
The batting and bowling stats between these two teams have never been this close recently, and that must surely fill England with hope. (The fact that Australia have named 17 players in the squad for the first Test shows how uncertain they are about their best combination.) In these last couple of years, there is little to choose between the overall numbers of the two teams, but one unusual number is the ratio of centuries to fifties for Australia - that's an aspect they're normally very good at, but during this period they've only managed to convert 24 out of 93 scores of 50-plus into hundreds; England have converted 27 out of 86.

Busy morning…off the field
Players were walking up and down the hallways of Bright House Field on a very busy Monday morning off the diamond.
The crew that televises Phillies games was set up in the media room where pitchers and hitters posed for the videos and interviews that you will see during the season on Comcast SportsNet and MYPHL 17.
At the same time Majestic, the official uniform supplier of the Phillies, had a crew in the equipment room. A steady stream of players stopped by to be fitted for their 2011 uniforms. Frank Coppenbarger, who runs the Phillies Clubhouse, says baseball fashion has changed over the years. Gone are tight fitting pants, replaced by much baggier ones. Also, the pants drop down over the tops of their cleats so no socks ever show.
The players also heard from nutritionist, Katie Cavuto. Katie always has the latest information on what to eat and how much so the players can fuel their bodies for peak performance. The Major League Baseball Players Association also had a presence here today. In the lunchroom the marquee players stopped by for head scans that will be used in baseballs newest video games.
The starting pitchers continue to be the subjects of photo ops. On Sunday, the five starters had a session in the Carpenter Complex batting cages for the Phillies Magazine cover in April. Today, New York Times Magazine photographed the four starters (no Joe). On Wednesday, the same four will be photographed for Sports Illustrated (2 p.m.) and USA TODAY (3 p.m.) All 59 players will go through photo day Tuesday morning for media and licensees. Generally 8-10 stations are set up in the indoor batting cages and outside starting at 7 a.m.
Media opportunities should slow down as the Phillies look ahead to their first game, Thursday afternoon, against Florida State University.
Mike Schmidt's arrival was delayed until Tuesday . . . First Grapefruit League game is Saturday afternoon, the Yankees in Tampa . . . Same teams meet Sunday at Bright House Field. Both games will be broadcast on 1210 AM, the Big Talker and the Phillies radio network.

That Time of Year
It's that time of year again. Which is a dumb phrase to use, since every time of year is technically that time of year again. Except perhaps February 29th, which only happens once every four years and in way too many movies.
Why is it that February is such a short month, anyway? I'm guessing it really has to do with the sun or moon or President's Day Sale and is not completely arbitrary. I remember, as an eight-year-old kid, being asked by a clever 10-year-old how many months have 28 days. I told him it was just one, to which he said, "no – all of them" and laughed hysterically before I punched him in the nose.
Okay, so I didn't punch him in the nose, but I should have. And I'm sure someone did eventually.
So it is that time of year again. You can tell a lot about yourself by what time you think I'm talking about. The holidays, college football bowl season, finals, Winston Churchill's birthday – it is obviously that time of year for many things. But specifically for me, it's the time of year that I get so delirious on Sudafed that I write long winded columns about times of years and punching 10-year-olds.
I'm sick again. Miraculously, I have not been sick for an entire year. I had a day of sniffles back in October, but they went away very quickly so they don't count. For those of you who have been with this column for at least a year (happy anniversary, sweetums!), you might remember that I was so sick last year that I slept through Thanksgiving. Not the celebration – the entire day. To catch you up on what happened afterward, I was bed-ridden for two weeks, and by the time I felt "better," I'd lost 30 pounds and was too weak to stand for more than ten minutes at a time. But on the upside, new clothes were much cheaper since I needed so much less fabric.
After two months of a strict peanut and olive oil-based diet, I got back to normal. And I have been healthy ever since (except that day I finished an entire jar of peanuts). I started working out again, eating better, and I hadn't bought a new box of tissues in months.
And then came Flagstaff. On the way to my eventual Los Angeles destination, we stopped in Flagstaff, Arizona. If Arizona is supposed to be hot as hell, it must have frozen over the day before we arrived. Flagstaff is in northern Arizona – where every November 25th (or at least the one I was there for), it gets down to 17 degrees at night.
I woke up the morning of the 26th sneezing. A lot. I grabbed the roll of toilet paper from the motel bathroom and headed to the car, but the housekeeper stopped me.
"Is that from the room?" she asked.
"Yes, but I've been sneezing all morning and last night the heat wasn't entirely, well, on," I answered. "I would really like to be able to blow my nose in the car, and the room didn't have any tissues."
"Okay," she said as she took the roll from me and walked away.
I wished she was more considerate, or at least better versed in the meaning of the word "okay." Left with no choice, I raided the napkin supply of a local Subway, and was forced to blow my nose into what could have easily doubled as oak tag.
Four days and an economy-sized box of Sudafed later, I am still sick. In fact, it's worse now. Not just because I am sneezing more and the Carpathians and Russians are fighting for control of my head, but because my nose is almost gone. My nose is so chaffed from the oak tag tissues that when I heal, I am going to need a replacement. Good thing I'm in LA.
I have done what I can to get over this. I am hopped up on medicine, so much so that I use the phrase "hopped up." I have raided the local supply of orange juice, and have used a redwood worth of paper products (again, good thing I'm in LA). But this cold has shown absolutely no signs of letting up. I'd punch it in the nose, but if it's anything like me, it doesn't have one anymore. Also, I can't lift my arms.
I am, of course, kidding about not having a nose. I still have one – it's just a big red nose. Which is fitting, since it's that time of year again.
You know, Winston Churchill's birthday.

I hadn't been to church in months, but this one Sunday I brought our little grandson, and for him it was a whole new deal.
I hadn't been to church in months, but this one Sunday I brought our little grandson, and for him it was a whole new deal. At his church, children meet in a separate building, whereas at ours, we're all in it together, through the Welcoming and Announcements, the Processional Hymn and the Gathering Prayer - right on up to Time for the Young, when, at a given signal, the little ones thunder down front to sit on the steps and listen to Carol, our director of Christian Ed, as she does her presentation. This our little boy found most compelling, so even though we were already seated down front, he, too, crept onto the red carpeting next to the pulpit. Carol took as her theme the Journey toward Jesus, speaking of food and roadmaps and, by way of illustration, pulling from a little knapsack a Bible and a Church Directory. The tykes were all enthralled – except for one tiny boy whose big brown eyes filled with tears when she ended by saying, "Now I want to invite YOU to come on my journey WITH me!" ("Daddy! Nooo!" he turned and mouthed to his father a few yards away. ) But it was mere metaphor, as the child soon saw, and he rose happily with the others to trek off for Church School classes. "Would you like to go with them?" I asked my guest Eddie, but no. "I want to stay and see what happens," he whispered. So he did stay, through the whole 80-minute service. He'd been charmed by "Shall We Gather By the River?" as anyone in their right mind would be charmed by that wonderful old hymn. And he seemed to love the rich harmonies that rose when we sang the Doxology. He even settled in for the sermon, the main source of entertainment in his eyes, and actually got through 13 of its 22 minutes before declaring in a loud voice, "THIS is not a story!" Ah, but it was a story, and a good one, too, about the Woman at the Well and the Living Waters and what a wonderful thing it is when another person really sees you for who you are. Still, it seemed like a good time for a walk. "Want to go sit in the balcony?" I asked him as I led him toward the back of this 158-year-old building. He eyed the steep steps leading up there. "We're not allowed!" he whispered. "Sure we are! It's our church!" I whispered back. So tiptoeing, he climbed those narrow stairs with me close behind. There weren't many people up there: a couple of small families; two youngish women sitting close and smiling big as they listened to the sermon, which was now reaching its conclusion; a sixth-grade girl there and a third-grade girl here, both serenely alone. Eddie and I went and sat with the third-grader, an old friend of mine. Realizing that I'd never turned off my BlackBerry, I began doing that now. "Cool phone!" whispered the sixth-grader, suddenly materializing beside us, then took it from me and immediately began playing a game on it I didn't even know it had. Eddie looked down and saw in the pew cushions a Peanut Butter Cup still in the package. "Is this for ME? Can I EAT it?" "Bread for the Journey, honey" I whispered back, and so he did. And the four of us sat contentedly together until the organ swelled and the amens echoed in the high old space and little boy and grandma both felt themselves filled with a fresh spirit, and newly known, and thoroughly welcomed.

I'm planning on going to Bratislava this year to look for work teaching English (obviously), and have been considering arriving around mid-August. My understanding (and indeed, I've seen it stated here about other countries) is that most language schools do their recruiting at the end of August and early September. So, generally, is this true in Bratislava as well? I'm currently mapping out plans and on the verge of booking airfare, so I'd just like to get a good sense of when it's a good time to arrive. (Apologies if I somehow missed this being discussed to death in countless other threads - links to said threads are greatly appreciated).

These schools also recruit from abroad. There are companies that operate all year round, though and have no specific hiring season. Thus, there are prob more jobs around then, but it's not impossible to get work at other times of the year. Hope it helps.

An article published on the "Front Page" magazine 10 days ago has gained up till now more than 1500 comments .. scrolling down the comments makes me realize how that man has built a very strong case.
Here are some paragraphs i'd like to quote and share with you .. you can read the whole article from that link
Western intellectuals and commentators refer to the enemy's ideology as:
"Islamic Fundamentalism," "Islamic Extremism," "Totalitarian Islam," "Islamofascism," "Political Islam," "Militant Islam," "Bin Ladenism," "Islamonazism," "Radical Islam," "Islamism," etc….
The enemy calls it "Islam."Imagine, if during past wars, we used terms such as "Radical Nazism," "Extremist Shinto" and "Militant Communism." The implication would be that there are good versions of those ideologies, which would then lead some to seek out "moderate" Nazis. Those who use terms other than "Islam" create the impression that it's some variant of Islam that's behind the enemy that we're facing.
In another paragraph he says:
Islam is a political religion; the idea of a separation of Mosque and State is unheard of in the Muslim world. Islam has a doctrine of warfare, Jihad, which is fought in order to establish Islamic ("Sharia") Law, which is, by nature, totalitarian. Sharia Law calls for, among other things: the dehumanization of women; the flogging/stoning/killing of adulterers; and the killing of homosexuals, apostates and critics of Islam. All of this is part of orthodox Islam, not some "extremist" form of it. If jihadists were actually "perverting a great religion," Muslims would have been able to discredit them on Islamic grounds and they would have done so by now. The reason they can't is because jihadists are acting according to the words of Allah, the Muslim God.
He continues by saying:
Far from being a personal faith, Islam is a collectivist ideology that rejects a live-and-let-live attitude towards non-Muslims. And while the jihadists may not represent all Muslims, they do represent Islam. In the end, most Muslims have proven themselves to be mere sheep to their jihadist wolves, irrelevant as allies in this war. Recovering Muslims call the enemy's ideology "Islam," and they dismiss the idea of "Moderate Islam" as they would the idea of "Moderate Evil." When, based on his actions, Mohammad would be described today as a "Muslim Extremist," then non-violent Muslims should condemn their prophet and their religion, not those who point it out.
He replied to his critics of the idea of calling "Islam" Islam in a post script by saying:
I've been around Muslims my entire life and most of them truly don't care about Islam. The problem I have with many of these essentially non-Muslim Muslims, especially in the middle of this war being waged on us by their more consistent co-religionists, is that they give the enemy cover. They force us to play a game of Muslim Roulette since we can't tell which Muslim is going to blow himself up until he does. And their indifference about the evil being committed in the name of their religion is a big reason why their reputation is where it is.
Another problem with Muslims who aren't very Muslim is that they lead some among us to conclude that they must be practicing a more enlightened form of Islam. They're not. They're "practicing" life in non-Muslim countries, where they are free to live as they choose. But their "Islam" is not the Islam. There's no separate ideology apart from Islam that's being practiced by these Muslims in name only, there's no such thing as "Western Islam".
If an individual Muslim is personally peaceful, it's not because of Islam, it's because of his individual choice, which is why I often say that your average Muslim is morally superior to Mohammad, to their own religion. The very rare Muslim who helps us against Jihad is acting against his religion, but that doesn't stop some among us from thinking that his choice somehow shines a good light on Islam. It doesn't. A good Muslim according to us is a bad Muslim according to Islam.
That is really very good article i've been reading it over and over again trying to memorize every word he wrote .. I totally agree with him .. from now on i won't use the term islamists .. they are muslims. .. let's call "Islam" Islam
Views: 417
the idea of a separation of Mosque and State is unheard of in the Muslim world.
What about Turkey, Bosnia and Albania? (and Central Asian countries, like Kazakhstan, Tajikstan, Uzbekistan and maybe others)
Turkey spent years with strict sectarianism thanks to Kamal Atatork .. as well as most of the nations that were part of the USSR.
They are what they are right now because they have chosen so and not because they are following the teaching of Islam or the Koran .. a closer look at turkey for example would give you a glimpse of how the Ardogan policies don't represent the teaching of Islam and are opposed by true muslims.
It's only a matter of time before they start studying Islam and Koran .. they will realize that their life style wasn't very islamic as they thought it was and sooner or later they will end up like the Tsarnaev brothers.
The point is that the author of the original article made a factually incorrect statement. Turkey and other countries do not declare an official religion for the state in their constitution. In other words, constitution wise, there is a separation between Mosque and State. How people live their lives or how distant it is from true Islam is not the issue. But considering the source publication of that article, I should not be surprised that the information was not corrected :-)
and this separation is opposed by most "if not all" Muslim Clerics .. how many of them have you heard calling for the separation between Mosque and state ?? me .. none. You know that they call Moustafa Kamal Atatourk an infidel for establishing the secular state of modern turkey and ending the islamic othmany empire.
koran itself calls for a religious state .. if anyone established a secular state it's simply because he choose to and not because Islam was calling for it.
One expert said that "The peaceful Muslims are NOT the ones who really know the Koran backwards and forwards and can quote it chapter and verse." Never mind that they quote it selectively (just like Christians) and reserve the right to make up rules and interpretations, some of which have no scriptural basis.
can't agree more with you
All Abrahamic religions have valid reasons for using their holy text to justify violence. That reason is....THEIR RELIGIOUS TEXTS JUSTIFY VIOLENCE! It's right there.. in black and white. They come from a violent era of a society that was barely civilized. Their laws are barbaric because they were written by barbarians. As societies advance, they civilize. These are the morals and mentalities of 2,000 year old desert folk.
2,000 year old morals can't really be rationalized in today's society, so those morals are cherry-picked to survive. Religions are like languages. They evolve with interaction from others. They are influenced with globalization and immigration. Traditions, celebrations and entire cultures are absorbed and altered. That's why most Christian holidays are um...Pagan. It's the same with Islam. When Christians bomb an abortion clinic you don't call them 'radical Christians' do you? They aren't considered 'ultra conservative' they are just considered crazy but still identified simply as Christian terrorists, right? (I could well be wrong here.)
Of course religion evolves slower than science in the acceptance of anti-oppression. Even the most 'peaceful' religions have to be dragged kicking and screaming into modern human rights eras. There are exceptions, of course... but I'd wager a vast majority follow this script.
it's that those so called modern muslims are considered to be not true msulims by those following every word in the book (the koran) .. and on the other hand those "modern muslims" do nothing to defend their stand.
Neither do Christians. That's two out of three.
I don't know too many Christians that would say, "I don't believe in abortion, but I believe in your right to medical decisions being between you and your doctor without government interference."
How many Christians have you heard protesting religion in American schools? None? Why, because the only religion in American schools is Christianity.
Ok, I am over generalizing when I say 'all' or 'none' here. I know that. But the general profile remains the same.
Moderates protect the conservatives in any religion because that's the environment that religion creates.
But aren't the people who stand up to the Jihadist bully-boys, all risking death? And the Jihadists are hand-in-hand with corrupt criminal governments? And the whole thing is political anyway? Has Islam been hijacked by politics? Is this inevitable because of the non-separation of church and state?
When I look at Islam, especially Sufism, it looks rather attractive in its spiritual dimension, and I generally find Muslims to be extremely civilized and hospitable.
How are they risking death anymore than anyone else is?
I mean, extremists are as likely to go after a 13 year old pro-education girl as a political target or cartoonist.
Why would a moderate feel any safer than I do or you do? Why wouldn't they?
I don't understand what you're getting at here. That Muslim extremists target Muslim moderates more than Christian extremists target Christian moderates?
I've got a few pipe bombs and fertilizer explosions that say otherwise....
I'd like you to share with them that Mohammed marrying Aisha at the age of 9 was pedophilia and a crime .. and then you'll see how peaceful are they.
tell them how islam is sexiest against women and you will see a whole different side.
I'd like to tell you that sufism are following books and scriptures other than the Quran and the Sunna .. their founders of sufism has all been accused of blasphemy and killed .. they never went public during the ages of Islamic empire for fear of getting killed.
to me .. Sufism is much closer to Buddhism rather than islam itself

Since you are playing with this to learn it maybe I can clear up a few things, more down and dirty approach though because I have never used a GUI with sshd. Once you know how it works maybe you can streamline things. Start by just getting ssh to work. I am assuming you know how to get around *nix with a CLI ?
1) Forget anything about openssl ... different animal as SirDice said.
2) in your setup of SSH you have PasswordAuthentication enabled. As westin said, that is not the most secure. Disable it!
3) you'll want to set up a public/private key for the client, using the client
( puttygen.exe if the clients will be windows boxes. )
( note: you should always insist the users create a passphrase for the key, and make sure they NEVER forget it! Otherwise they will have to make a new key and you will have to revoke the old one from the server. )
you will then copy the client's public key to the server and put it in the user's home directory.
Example: once the public key is transferred over to the server, use something like
ssh-keygen -i -f ( file name of the key ) > /home/user/.ssh/authorized_keys
( if you are going to be importing more keys for that user, you will have to use >> instead of > for future keys so you append and do not overwrite the original file.)
Also, you should verify the permissions of the file ( should be 600 )
If you can use their GUI to import the public key into the ssh server instead of my way you might try that ( again I have never used FreeNAS ) but the important thing is the private key stays on the client, the public key gets imported to the server.
you should now be able to log into the server from the client ( using something like Putty )
If this is all working, now you can go ahead and check the Subsystem option in sshd_config as SirDice said. As I am unfamiliar with FreeNAS I do not know if it is enabled by default when you enabled the ssh daemon.
Since the server is going to be behind a firewall, and access will be from the Internet, you might set up the clients to connect to a high number port, then forward that port on the firewall to the ssh server port 22! ( you can change port 22 to whatever if the server is going to located in a congested local network too, using the sshd_config. ) Just take one step at a time, making sure each one is working before going to the next. Just remember, if you do forward the port on the firewall and then try to connect from inside the perimeter, you will need to connect to port 22 from inside ( or whatever port you chose ) and not the one clients from outside use.
Oh, and make sure you turn off that damn FTP service !!!!!
BTW, putty generated keys can be converted if you want to use them in a *nix ssh client, just see the documentation for puttygen. If you don't understand that, just ignore it, it might be more confusing, but useful if your client dual boots.
Maybe you could make that beginning to end tutorial??

Gio Gonzalez working with MLB investigation, denies PED use
VIERA, Fla. (AP) -- Washington Nationals pitcher Gio Gonzalez says he has cooperated with a Major League Baseball investigation surrounding a Miami clinic where his name was reported to have shown up in records for performance-enhancing drugs.
He reiterated he's never taken them.
Gonzalez spoke Tuesday about the allegations after reporting to the Nationals' spring training facility in Viera, Fla., saying he feels confident he'll be exonerated.
He says he's been given no timetable from baseball about when the results of the investigation will be completed, but added he doesn't want it to be a distraction for his team following its first playoff appearance.
Gonzalez says he's shifted his focus to the upcoming World Baseball Classic after his recent selection to pitch for Team USA.

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson will rotate squad against Arsenal
Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson will shuffle his pack when he takes the champions to Arsenal on Sunday.
Last Updated: 28/04/13 3:17pm
Ferguson revealed Jonny Evans and Michael Carrick both played with injuries in Monday's 3-0 victory over Aston Villa, as United clinched their 20th top-flight title.
Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic are poised to return at the heart of the defence, while Javier Hernandez, Danny Welbeck, Tom Cleverley and Nani may also feature at Emirates Stadium.
Promising 18-year-old Belgian midfielder Adnan Januzaj could also feature after he was given the number 44 shirt for the remainder of the season.
Looking back on the title win, Ferguson said: "Two of the players played with an injury throughout the game. Jonny Evans and Michael Carrick.
"Next week, I should have Vida and Rio back and I can put Jones into the middle of the pitch and play Vida and Rio together and we'll get the experience going to Arsenal.
"A lot of younger players, the ones who have been on the fringes for the last few weeks, and I desperately want them to feel their contribution has been big.
"Chicharito, Danny Welbeck, Tom Cleverley and Nani - I think it's important to get them involved in the last few weeks."

Win Tickets to The Venice Modern Home Tour
Posted by

Are you a modern and contemporary architecture fan in the L.A. area with some time to burn on February 18th? Let us know in the comments section, as we'll be randomly picking a commentor to receive two tickets to the tour, a $60 value (tickets are $30 each in advance; $40 on the day of the tour). In case you don't win, you can purchase tickets here.
There are nine stunning homes to explore. Just to tempt you even more, I'm going to give you a sneak peek into one of the two Hover Houses on the tour. It was designed by Glen Irani Architects, whose Hover Houses have spread all over L.A.
The Hover Houses are built on lots that are a mere 30′ x 95′. They fit in architecture and artist studios, room for a family of four and guest quarters.
In order to make that footprint work, the house has to hover over the pool.
Oh, and all of those workstations roll, so the space can easily transform into a living room after the workday is over.
The house has wonderful views and some fabulous iconic mid-century modern furniture to lounge on and enjoy.
From this angle with this lighting, it has a Mondrian look to it.
If you've ever taken a stroll along the canals in Venice Beach and wanted to get a glimpse inside of some of these homes, this tour is for you. It starts at 11 a.m. on Saturday morning and ends at 6 p.m. To learn more visit venice.modernhometours.com.

Panthers lay off employees, blame NHL lock out
SUNRISE, Florida – The Florida Panthers have announced layoffs of some staff members, saying the moves are "primarily" because of the NHL lockout.
Panthers President and Chief Operating Officer Michael Yormark released a statement announcing what he called "staff adjustments" on Tuesday, the lockout's third full day.
Yormark did not say how many jobs were involved. He cited the league's "work stoppage," avoiding the word lockout.
It's unclear if the people who were laid off would be brought back when the lockout ends. The Panthers did not immediately respond to a request for further comment.
The NHL locked out its players when the most recent collective bargaining agreement expired at 11:59 p.m. Saturday. It's the NHL's fourth work stoppage in the last 20 years, the last of which wiped out an entire season.

Looking for a logo that is easy to recognise and potentially conveys the Aqua / Water theme or better still the refreshing qualities of filtered water dispensed by the units I sold and serviced
UK Aqua Ltd
Refreshingly Simple
Desired Color Scheme:
Blue/ silver? maybe green any othe sugestions that look refreshing
Desired Style:
Simple clean profesional and fun if the balance can be struck?!
Accepted File Formats:
The company sells and services water dispensing machine NOT THE BOTTLED sort that require the large bottles to be placed in situ.
Logo required to reflect the profesional nature of the company service but also more importantly something stylish that will reprsent the refreshing properties of the water ?!?
Want something that will resize well without degrading the quality!
Likelly that Blue would reepresent the water well but it does not have to be blue? A metalic silver and blue may look good but as the logo will ultimatelly be used on a new website and stationery any colours have to be recreatable to maintain consistentcy.
Like the idea of UK Aqua in a 3d letters with some water droplets all over so long as it looks like water?

Poor people - I surfed that wave for over ten years and it really has it's days when it can get really good. And I've surfed all over the world incl. Hawaii, Canaries, all over france and Spain + some more spots around the world..Surfers here are dedicated to surf and friendly in the water. On a really crowded day here we can have up to 20 people in the water, but most of the time it's around 5-10.

Such a joke - As a swede I must apologize for even calling any spots in Sweden surf spots. Someone´s on a different planet here. Unless of course you go during the winter storms with 3 degrees in the water. Trust me, anyone from swe with a genuine interest in surfing will agree.
By anonymous , 26-09-2005
Joke - I don't know who rated this shit!! But to even try and compare it to the rest of surfable Europe, like France, Portugal, England, Irland, Canaries etc... is a pure f**king joke....Thom

Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 133 diseños de 32 diseñadores freelance.
Launching soon will be a new e-commerce site focused on selling beauty products, cosmetics and fragrances. We are looking for sleek, sexy, and classy logo.
Site will be targeting women specifically, so the logo should use feminine colors and design.
We will need several sizes for web and print. We would also like the source files just in case we need to make any edits.
Payment is half down and half upon delivery.
We have ran 2 contests recently and have awarded both thus far.
Feedback will be limited in the beginning as we need to wait until designs start to come in. During this phase, please pay attention to the star ratings we give each design to get an idea of what direction we're headed. We'll later give specific feedback if and when we need to.
- Website address is 911BeautyShop dot com. We prefer that the ".com" is included in the design somewhere, but it doesn't have to be prominent if it will distract.
- We prefer logos that are enclosed in frames, meaning a shape such as a square, rectangle, etc.
- Put some work into the logo. Don't just give me a logo made up primarily of fonts.
- Color choices are red, pink, orange, and lighter shades of the spectrum.
- You may use up to 2 colors in the logo in addition to black and white. It would be best to go ahead and show us at least 5 different color variations of your choice so that we have more options to choose from, thus increasing your chances of winning too.
- Think conservative, high class, with a touch of sexy and/or flare.
- Logo must be unique from anything else you have worked on.

Democrats in Congress predicted this week that health care legislation will pass by the end of the year, riding a wave of support from President Obama's address about the future of health care reform.
"I'm confident the president will sign a bill this year," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said late Thursday, joining a bandwagon of Democratic politicians who've said Obama's speech cemented the passage of his proposed health care bill.
Sen. Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) agreed with Pelosi's praise of the speech but said Obama's public option could be satisfied instead with nonprofit cooperatives.
U.S. & World
The Senate health care panel will vote in two weeks to vote on legislation, Sen. Max Baucus (D-Mont.) said.

Hi Kristen,
Yes your quite right there are two Duncan Livingston birth entries one for 1810 and 1811. I came to same conclusion as you that it seems quite certain to two Livingston boys to Duncan and Catharine Livingston of Morvern were born: but only one can be their son Duncan, so the could very well be Hugh. It can't be Angus because the his son's Ohio bio gives the full birth date of Angus Livingston as being in the year 1808 in Barr, Morvern. As Hugh is missing a birth record and there are two Duncan Livingston entries one of them could be for Hugh. What with have then in terms of documented records of the children of Duncan and Catharine Livingston is three children of theirs born in Barr, Morvern after 1806 that makes sense, Ohio historian Duncan Livingston's father Angus born 1808 in Barr, Morvern according to a 1903 Ohio history, Duncan Livingston born Barr, Morvern 1810 and another son recorded as a second Duncan born the following year in 1811 which we assume can't be Duncan but likely was entry error and quite likely should have stated "Hugh Livingston". The Morvern birth info from the old parish records before 1806 tells us that the eldest son was Donald Livingston born in 1805 who we know married "Aunt Betty" (Mcinnes) of Savary, later Achabegg and Lochaline, Morvern and also a daughter Ann born in 1804 the eldest child of whom I have not been able to find any later info so far. These two eldest children were not born at Barr but they were born in neighbouring settlements close to Barr in that general area of Barr. While the 1841 Morvern census information suggests your ancestor Hugh Livingston was born earlier than in 1805 or 1806 I believe that is one of those frequent census information errors that frequently happened with census records for one reason or another. Unfortunately census record are often not a reliable means of determing an approximate birth date when birth or baptism records don't exist at the same time often they are only source available to get a sense of an approximate birth date unless there is age info in marriage records or in a death or cemetery info.
Duncan Livingston Sr. b. 1770's Morvern, Argyll d. bef. 1841 Morvern Parish m. Catharine Cameron b. bet. 1773-1775 Morvern, Argyll d. Sept. 30,1855 Wheelersburgh,Scioto County, Ohio. Catharine Livingston buried in Old Wheelersburg Cemetery
https://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.c ... i=70586749
Known Children of Duncan Livingston Sr. and Catharine (Katrine) Cameron
Morvern Parish
1.John Livingston (apparently the eldest) no birth record born between 1800 and 1804 Morvern, Scotland I suspect.
2. Anne Livingston born July 15, 1804 Achlinan,(Acheleanan) Morvern
3. Donald Livingston born Dec. 28, 1806 Portvada, (Portabhata) Morvern d. 1877 Lochaline, Morvern m. Betty McInnes of Savary, Morvern
4. Angus Livingston born Jan.16,1808 Barr, Morvern (Source for this entry: Bio of Duncan Livingston of Scioto County, Ohio 1903)
5. Duncan Livingston born Feb. 11, 1810 Barr, Morvern
6. Duncan Livingston born Nov 30, 1811 Barr, Morvern (Assumed one of these Duncan birth entries could be brother Hugh's. I don't think the age given for Hugh in the 1841 Morvern Census is necessarily correct.) The ages given for the Scioto County Livingstons in the subsequent U.S Censuses are for example all over the place in terms of the other Livingston brothers in America.
Note Achleanan where Ann was born and Portabhata where her brother Donald was born are beside each other and Barr where Angus, Duncan and possibly Hugh was born is beside Achleanan, so this proximity further reinforces the understanding that all these children were children of the the one and same Duncan and Catharine Livingston or as we know them Duncan Livingston Sr. and Catharine Cameron. Not sure when the widow Catharine and the rest of her Livingston kin ended up in those two crofts at Achabegg near Savary, Morvern. All I know is that there were some early clearances as far back the mid 1820's of some tenants in Barr, so it may have been at that time that widow Catharine and her children were compelled to Barr for some other settlement which may have been some other place before they arrived in Achabegg sometime before 1841. Regarding Achabegg what we do really know for certain from the 1841 Census is that the widow Catharine her younger son Duncan jr. and one of the Burke boys were living in one croft and in the next one was your Hugh Livingston, Euphemia and their children in 1841. And from Catharine's children's birth records from the first decade of the 1800's we know that Catharine with her husband Duncan Livingston Sr. and her children were residing elsewhere further north of Achabegg near the North west coast Morvern at three settlements Acheleanan, Portabhata and Barr.
You asked about Angus Livingston's "Uncle John" John Livingston of Oneida County, NY. More on Duncan's brother John Livingston b. 1773 who settled in New York State sometime between 1810 and 1815 in my next post.

Death of a Salesman
In the land of the free, each man is in charge of his own destiny. Willy Loman knows and cherishes this truth. After a life of honest hard work, it's Willy's birthright to retire with his loving wife and watch his two athletic, handsome sons continue his legacy.
Yet as old age begins to take hold and retirement beckons, Willy's dream seems further away than ever. Decades of graft have somehow failed to translate into wealth and his eldest son refuses to follow the path his father has chosen for him. As actions buried in his past re-surface, Willy struggles to reconcile his long cherished dream with the life he has actually lived.
Following their performances as Falstaff and Prince Hal in Henry IV Parts I & II(2014/15), Antony Sher and Alex Hassell play Willy Loman and his son Biff. Arthur Miller's 1949 play, Death of a Salesman is surely the greatest American tragedy ever written. Directed by RSC Artistic Director Gregory Doran, this production celebrates the centenary of Miller's birth.

PlastiKote's Battery Cleaner and Battery Terminal Protector can keep your Pontiac's battery clean and looking like new, and help it live a long, productive life. Battery Cleaner quickly loosens dirt and lifts corrosion so that it can be flushed away with water. Battery Terminal Protector neutralizes acid and removes grease and oil from battery terminals, providing a protective barrier to inhibit corrosion. Both come in easy-to-spray 12-ounce cans, and retail for $5.99 and $6.99 respectively.
