I asked Jill how she came to find Randall's Dog Tag as well as Stanley Thompson's and here is her reply. It's fascinating and Jill deserves a huge thank you for her efforts.
My husband and I have had a interest in the many deserted sites of WW11 in the Northern Territory for about 25+ years. We have been to many crashed aircraft site and many of the camps set up as part of the Pacific war.
Fenton air strip was one of the larger ones and had a group of Americans stationed there for a period of time. There was a mulititude of services provided on the base, including a visit from Bob Hope in Nov 1943 to entertain the 380 Bomb Group. When the war finished the sites were just abandoned. Over the years some stuff was picked up for scrap and other stuff was collected by fossickers like me as something interesting.
I found the two American dog tags near what I named the canteen area. In this area I picked up numerous coca cola bottles that had been left by the Americans. There were many things left and it is still possible to find something lying around in the bush. And bush it is. It is about 300km away from where I live and there is no community close by.
My family had an interest with the serving Americans. During the War an American soldier returned home to his home in Wisconsin. An article was written about his time in my home town in South Australia. A lady (Rose Jahman) whose two sons were fighting in the Pacific wrote to the Mayor of the town in the hope her boys may have been there, The letter was passed to my mother who had just won a competition run by the Army Barracks to reply. My mother did and she continued to write to Rose until her death. I have been writing to her grand daughter for the past 50 years.
We are still looking for descendants of Stanley Thompson so maybe we can help Jill find a family member before Memorial Day!

The Religon of Loving Boobs. The main gods in this religon are Pamela Anderson, Anna Nicole Smith, Jessica Simpson, Mariah Carey and Lindsay Lohan in better days. Also Emo kids are immune to boobism explaining why there pants are so tight.
by STUART SMITH November 24, 2005
Boobism, practiced by Boobists, is a movement that honors female independence. Branching from the word Feminism, it has modernised by continuing to encourage the traits of self sufficient, respected women, however celebrating that the male population is not a threat. Boobism is love for both those from Venus and those from Mars.Why can't we all just get along?

Can't Decide Whether to Come?
If you're wondering whether the pastors conference is for you or whether you should make the effort to come, consider a few things.
It is for any pastor or pastoral-type church leader, and we let you decide who that is. We're not going to pick your pocket and ask for your credentials.
Also, don't let finances get in the way. If you really want to come and can't afford it, we offer a whatever-you-can-afford policy.
The conference theme is "The Pastor as Father and Son," but if you don't have children or you're single and you think, "That's not for me," it might well be for you, because there is still a spiritual dimension of fathering that applies to single men. John Stott was never married but he has fathered so many men. What a great father figure John Stottt has been for many years for so many, and he never married and never bore children physically.
So I hope that the possibilities of glorious worship, great times of prayer, and good solid teaching with others would be useful to you.
Pray and God will show you whether you should be included. We hope to see you there.

EXCLUSIVE! Lo Bosworth's Post-'Hills' Plans: 'DWTS' & A New TV Show!
HollywoodLife.com chatted with Lo about her future projects – which include a digital media company, hosting gigs and a lifestyle show!
With the series finale of her reality show, The Hills, looming large on July 13, Lo Bosworth has already planned her next move. Yep, BFFs, Lo is sticking to what she knows best – TV!
"I'm transitioning into television hosting instead of reality TV," the 23-year-old starlet told HollywoodLife.com exclusively at the Four Seasons hotel in Los Angeles July 7. "I have a show in development now – it's a lifestyle show, so fingers crossed that it gets picked up!"
Additionally, Lo, who is currently promoting Nivea's Goodbye Cellulite challenge, is launching her digital media company, the lowdown.com, on the same day as her show's finale. "We're talking about relationships, health and fitness, beauty and style. We're really trying to create a community and have a conversation. I have a book coming out in January, also appropriately titled "The Lodown" and that is a relationship guide for girls," she said.
But will Lo return to reality TV? It depends on the program. "I would NOT be on The Bachelorette – I have a boyfriend [lacrosse player Scott Hochstadt]," she said. "I'm done with the docu-soap thing. The Hills is over for me; I'm not going on any other reality shows. Dancing With the Stars really freaks me out. I would only do it for the challenge, to sort of prove myself wrong, to be brave enough to do it because it's just terrifying to me. But that's it – I'm moving on."
With all the projects she has in the pipeline, it's no wonder Lo is pooh-poohing appearing in the film adaptation of BFF (and current roommate) Lauren Conrad's best-selling book, "LA Candy."
"No, no, no, no! Absolutely not planning on it!" she laughed. Although the project is shrouded in mystery, Lo did let us in on one little secret…"We hoped that the [main character] would be played by an unknown – just like when we were all unknowns when we first started on Laguna Beach way back when. I think that's the best way to go about doing it."

The 2012 drought raises question about crop insurance coverage in 2013. Specific questions that have been asked are: 1) how much will the Actual Production History (APH) yields decline in 2013 as a result of poor yields in 2012, and 2) will 2013 crop insurance premiums increase as a result of the 2012 drought?
2012 APH yield declines
Low yields in 2012 will reduce 2013 APH yields on many farms. However, there are two factors that could potentially reduce the size of the APH yield declines.
The first is that a producer can request to have any yield in the yield history replaced by 60% of the T yield. The T yield is specific to a crop in a county. Table 1 shows 2012 corn and soybean T yields for Illinois counties. In 2012, some farms will have yields below 60% of the T yield. These farmers should request to have their actual yield replaced by 60% of the T yield.
To illustrate, take a farm in Macon County where the T yield is 174 bu. per acre (see Table 1). If the farm has a yield below 104.4 bu. (174 bu. T yield x 60%), that farm could ask to have its actual yield replaced by 104.4 bu. per acre. This substitution will limit yield declines.
Take a McLean County farm with a 10-year yield history where the historic yields exactly equal the county averages in each year. This farm would have a 2012 APH yield of 175 bu. per acre. If this farm has a yield below 104.4 bu. yield in 2012, a 104.4 bu. yield could be used in the APH yield calculation, resulting in an a 2013 APH yield of 169 bu. per acre. This farm's APH will decline by 6 bu. between 2012 and 2013. Using a lower actual yield than 60% of the T yield would result in more an APH yield decrease.
The second factor limiting APH yield declines is that there is 10% limit on a decline in the APH yield from one year to the next. Take the McLean County farm with a 2012 APH yield of 175 bushels per acre. The 2013 cannot be below 157.5 bu. per acre (175 APH yield x 90%).
While APH yields will decline, the Trend-Adjustment Endorsement will be available in 2013. This endorsement will act to increase yields used in guarantee calculations in the recognition that average corn and soybean yields have increased over time.
2013 premiums
Crop insurance premiums in 2013 are not likely to be impacted by poor 2012 yields. Rates for 2013 are set before complete 2012 yield and loss information is known. Even in 2014, when 2012 losses will impact premiums, premium increases may not be large because a weather indexing process is used in setting premium. Because 2012 is an unusual year, 2012 losses will not receive as much weight as more typical years in setting crop insurance premiums.
APH yields on many farms will decrease as a result of the 2012 drought. However, there are limits on the decrease that can occur because of potential yield substitutions and APH yield decline limits. Still, the low yields in 2012 will serve to drag down APH yields for the coming 10 years on most farms. Premiums in 2013 likely will not increase because of the 2012 drought.

Engines Are Safer
Floridians rejoice! You did it. The bill to eliminate the Ethanol requirement in fuel was passed by Florida Governor Rick Scott. The law was signed into legislation to repeal the requirement that all gas in the state contain a percentage of ethanol. This is much better for cars because the corrosive effects of ethanol over time are damaging to engine components. Life span of vehicles that do not take ethanol fuel can be dramatically reduced. We want to thank you all for your participation in helping this go through.

"These patients do not suffer from hypochondria – the problem is mitochondria."
Ed Note: To read Dr. Myhill's Nov 28 press release explaining the meaning of this revolutionary research in lay terms, see "Dr. Myhill's Paradigm-Changing ME/CFS Mitochondrial Test & Treatment Results."
Targeting mitochondrial dysfunction in the treatment of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) – a clinical audit
– Source: International Journal of Clinical and Experimental Medicine, Jan 2013 (online Nov 20, 2012)
By Sarah Myhill, Norman E Booth, John McLaren-Howard
[Note: read the full text of this free-access report at http://www.ijcem.com/files/IJCEM1207003.pdf. Two key findings are that: 1) mitochondrial function tests "clearly demonstrate that patients have serious biochemical pathology," which was "invariably present" in the severely affected patients they tested; and 2) a mitochondrial-support regimen including several standard nutrients, plus other nutrients tailored to deficiencies shown in individual ATP function test results, supported an average 44% increase in mitochondrial energy score – with some patients improving much more.]
We report on an audit of 138 ME/CFS patients who attended a private practice and took the ATP Profile biomedical test.
The results revealed that all of these patients had measureable mitochondrial dysfunction.
A basic treatment regime, based on:
1) Eating the evolutionary correct stone-age diet,
2) Ensuring optimum hours of good quality sleep,
Subscribe to the World's Most Popular Newsletter (it's free!)
3) Taking a standard package of nutritional supplements [Acetyl L-carnitine, D-ribose, CoQ10, magnesium sulfate, and niacinamide (vitamin B-3), as outlined on page 40 of Dr. Myhill's downloadable book, Diagnosing and Treating Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS)], and
4) Getting the right balance between work and rest….
…was recommended for all patients.
Additions to the basic regime were tailored for each patient according to the results of the ATP Profile and additional nutritional tests and clues from the clinical history.
Mitochondrial function is typically impaired in two ways:
• Substrate or co-factor deficiency,
• And inhibition by chemicals, exogenous or endogenous.
For the former, additional nutrients are recommended where there is a deficiency, and for the latter, improvement of anti-oxidant status and selective chelation therapy or far-infrared saunas are appropriate.
We show case histories of nine patients who have taken the ATP Profile on three or four occasions, and a before-and-after treatment summary of the 34 patients who have had at least two ATP Profile tests separated by some months.
Finally, we summarize the results for the 30 patients who followed all aspects of the treatment regime and compare them with the 4 patients who were lax on two or more aspects of the treatment regime.
All patients who followed the treatment regime improved in mitochondrial function by on average a factor of 4.

Replicate weights and subpopulation
Mplus Discussion
Multilevel Data/Complex Sample
Jeehoon Kim
posted on Sunday, February 06, 2011 - 2:51 pm
I'm running a path model with a national data set was designed in two stage stratified sampling.
I created balanced repeated replicate weights using Stata and have used them in Mplus.
My question is I am wondering how I can use a subset of the whole data set (G is 0 or 1, not 2). I tried to use subpopulation is G < 2, but it didn't work.
If I didn't use replicate weights, I can use subpopulation option. Could you please advise me how I can only use a subset of the whole data set with replicate weights? Should I use useobservation command?
Thank you for your advice in advance!

Use the useobservation command - that should work.
Jeehoon Kim

Thanks. I already did it and it worked well. I am just curious if it still gives zero for unselected group like subpopulation option? Thanks again!

No, USEOBERVATIONS uses only the observations specified.

Thanks, Linda.
My question is back how I can select subset of the whole data set when use replicate weights?
Because it was degined in complex survey, I think that I need to use the whole data set even though I'm only interested in part of it. But with replicate weights, I cannot use subpopulation option and don't know which command I can use. Could you please advise me? Thanks a lot.

With BRR, setting the weights to 0 for all observations outside of the subpopulation,
will give you the same result as useobseravtions (that is because BRR SE are obtained from point estimates and those do not change from adding the 0 weight observations), i.e., useobseravtions is easiest way to get correct estimates.

If I want to use the Taylor Series Linearization method for variance estimation, how can I do subpopulation analysis with the type=twolevel option? I wanted to compare the results with what I get from the type=complex option?
I am new to the model-based approach to survey analysis and I want to compare it with the design-based approach considering the weights, stratification and clustering. This is the main reason why I bought MPLus with the combination add-on. My package arrived just yesterday.
Tihomir Asparouhov
posted on Monday, February 28, 2011 - 8:53 am
Your input should include something like that.
variable: subpopulation = x>1;
analysis: type = twolevel complex;
posted on Friday, September 14, 2012 - 5:00 pm
In one of the previous Mplus discussions talked about multiple group CFA with complex data. My understanding is that useobservation command is preferred over subpopulation (only need a subset of the population). However, when I used useobservation command, it showed that cluster and stratification should not be used. In fact,I really don't need the stratum and cluster variables in the analysis.
Is it appropriate if I only use useobservation and sampling weight without stratification and cluster as well as type=complex? Will it be a problem without taking unproportional sampling into consideration?
Any comments and suggestions are highly appreciated.
Thank you.

I think you are asking if you can use a weight variable only in the model estimation without any other complex survey options. The answer is yes. And because you are not using TYPE=COMPLEX, you would use USEOBSERVATIONS instead of SUBPOPULATION. However, you are taking only the unequal probability of selection into account not stratification and non-independence of observations.

Shakers step up survival fight
Bury took a huge step towards League One safety with a thumping 4-1 win over Colchester.
Last Updated: 09/04/12 6:21pm
Bury took a huge step towards League One safety with a thumping 4-1 win over Colchester.
The win is only Bury's second victory in their last 15 games, but their latest triumph gives them breathing space at the bottom of the table.
The visitors almost went ahead after 30 seconds when Freddie Sears forced a tremendous save from Jonathan Bond, but Bury took a deserved lead when Efe Sodje's header from Steven Schumacher's free-kick was parried by U's goalkeeper Ben Williams and Mike Grella tapped in from close-range.
Bury doubled their lead moments later when Shaun Harrad fired into the roof of the goal after the visitors failed to clear Schumacher's corner.
Bury were 3-0 up in the 55th minute when Grella sent Giles Coke through on the goalkeeper and the midfielder coolly steered tha ball beyond Williams.
The visitors pulled a goal back minutes later when Tom Eastman rose unchallenged to head past Bond, but there was still time for Bury to fire a fourth when Peter Sweeney picked out David Worrall and he kept his composure to fire the ball into the corner of the net.

Melissa Ann Shaw
This history was written by my grandmother in 1962 while she was recovering from hip surgery.
I was born in Leigh, Idaho, now know as Clawson on Sept. 10, 1895. My father was Osmond Wielding Shaw and my mother was Melissa Ann Atwood. My father had been born in Utah, my mother in Pennsylvania. He was English and she English, Penn. Dutch, and a little Irish. They had bought a relinquishment on a homestead at Leigh in Teton Basin. There was no doctor in the valley at the time so mother had a midwife wait on her. She was very sick, and both she and I almost died so father named me at birth. He gave me my mother's name, Melissa Ann.I was the next to the youngest of ten children. There were six boys and four girls. Two boys and one girl died in childhood or infancy. My brother, Earl, was six years younger than me. He was my chief playmate and companion when we were children.I started to school when is was six years old. The school was called North Leigh School. It was a one room rough log house with a dirt roof. It was heated with a big stove in the middle of the room. My desk was one that my father had made. He made all of his children a desk as the school had none of its own. The desk was made of lumber. The four legs were made of 4 x 4's. They were smaller at the bottom. It had a sort of box to put the books in. The back was higher than the front. The top was on a slope and it could be lifted up to put books and slates in. The seat part was made of heavy lumber with a real tall back so you couldn't see the person that sat in back of you. The desks were never painted. When they got dirty we scrubbed them with soap and water.My teacher was a man named James O'Brian. He was a neighbor to my mother and father. He chewed tobacco and swallowed the juice, what didn't run out of the corners of his mouth. I don't think I learned much that winter and I didn't like my teacher. My brothers also went to the same school. They drove a team of horses on a sleigh and took all the children who lived along the road. Sometimes it was so awful cold I would have to wrap up in quilts to keep from freezing. When the snow melted I had to walk as my brothers had to quit school and go into the fields to farm. It was three miles from home, quite a walk for a little six year old girl.I want to tell about my mother right here, for about this time she carried mail from Hayden, a place about seven miles from our house. She also rant the post office. She drove an old black horse by the name of "Nig" on a cart to Hayden. She would pick up the mail and bring it home. She made that trip every day but Sunday. I used to sometimes like to go with her. She had a special place in the kitchen where she kept the mail. Anyone expecting mail would call for it.Our house was a two-room log house with a dirt roof. It had wide planks for the floor on which there was no covering. Father was an excellent carpenter. When I was about 13 he built our big house. It had four bedrooms, a large kitchen and front room, a bathroom (without fixtures), a pantry, and a closed in porch. It was the nicest house in the neighborhood. Father and Mother were hard workers and good managers. They were prosperous farmers.I was always playing out around the barns and the outbuildings and with the livestock. One day I ran into the barn behind Nig. I guess I must have frightened her and she kicked me and knocked me out. I was unconscious for quite a long time. After that I was more careful about getting around livestock.The next summer after my first winter in school my sister Ellie and I went to Cache, a school about three miles south of Father's farm. We walked, and as there were two creeks to cross, Father made foot bridges for us to cross on. He put a hand rail on each side to help keep us from falling in. In the Spring of the year there was a lot of water in the creeks and they were deep. Going to school that summer helped me so I could take the second grade the next Fall. I think I went to North Leigh School the next year. Then the community built a school a new frame school house about three miles from the old log house and called it South Leigh School. This is where I went until I graduated form the eighth grade.I had several different teachers. Their names, as I can remember were: Mr. Steele, a man my brother, Will, met while he was on a mission in the Western States. Mr. Steele came to Idaho to teach school. There was also a Mr. Hunnicut. Mr. Hugh Barnes taught. He was blind in one eye. He was nice and I liked him. I won a nice book the year Mr. Barnes taught. It was fun having a perfect record in discipline, attendance, and grades. I had a perfect record in spelling. I still have the book and treasure it. It is a book of poems. Mr. Alma Hansen also taught. He tried to teach me algebra, but it was hard for me. I used to have a run-in with him quite often. He was alright, but I didn't care for him too well.While I was growing up I had to help with the work about the place. It was my job to carry all the wood in to burn, also the coal and water. In the summer I had to take a big tub and go out a short distance from the house where Father had sharpened the fence posts in the Winter for the Spring, and gather chips. I would fill the tub just as full as possible Then Mother or one of the boys would help me carry it to the house. We used the chips to make a big and quick fire to heat the flatirons so we could do our ironing as we had no electricity in those days. We use to use heavy, old, cast-iron flatirons.It was also my job to help wash. We had a hand washer. It was my job to turn this washer, and also to turn the wringer to wring the clothes. When I got larger I hung them on the line.I also had to clean the lamps everyday to have them ready for night. We used coal-oil lights. I would have to clean the chimney and put oil in the lamps. When we got a gas lamp I would have to attend to it. The gas gave a much better light than the coal-oil.I had to feed the chickens, ducks, and turkeys twice a day and gather their eggs every evening. In the summer I had to find the ducks as there were two springs on the place and the ducks liked to go a long ways away following the water. Sometimes the hid their nests and I wasn't able to find them. Mother wanted the ducks in the coop every night as coyotes would kill them sometimes if they were left out. I had to herd the turkeys to keep coyotes from them. Why a coyote would get in the flock and probably kill a dozen or more in just a few minutes. The folks had first turned the turkeys loose and let them roam the hills.Another of my jobs was to get the cows in the corral in time for milking. The would feed on the hills close by. Sometimes I would hunt for several hours before I could find them. I had to walk up and down hill after hill hunting them. When I got to be about eight years old I had to help Mother do the milking and carry big buckets of milk to the house to separate them. I would turn the separator to separate cream from the milk as we sold the cream to the creamery to be made into butter and fed the milk to the pigs.Mother raised turkeys, as I have told about, and she had a tom that used to fight anyone who wore a dress. He would jump on you and hit you with his wings and peck at you. Many a time I have taken a large club and beaten him off. He would drop down like he was dead, lay there for a while, get up and spin around a few times, and then go off. But if he saw you within five minutes he would start all over again. So mother traded him for a pure white tom and we got a big laugh out of that as he wouldn't bother anyone with skirts but if it wasn't he would give the men a rough time. I have seen him jump clear on Father's shoulders when he was carrying two big buckets of feed to the pigs. We didn't keep him very long.Many is the time I have been kept up on a fence for hours b a buck sheep standing just below, and no way that I could get away from him. Either Father or one of the boys would have to come with the dogs and scare him away. Then I would have to run like a deer to get to the house. I would be very hot and tired.One day my brother Earl and I caught our saddle horse, whose name was Queen, and attempted to saddle her. Work as hard as we could, we couldn't tighten the cinches. We both got on her and started to go. I was in the saddle and Earl behind. We went for a little way then we started to gallop and that was when the trouble started. The saddle turned right under Queen's belly. Of course we both fell off. The horse, being gentle, stepped so we didn't get hurt,Other than a few bruises and skinned places. We didn't ever try to saddle a horse again until we were grown.Father's place, being right by the creek and the water being real clear and good to drink, there were always a lot of people passing by who camped overnight. They came to our house to buy eggs, milk, bread, and other things to eat. When I was alone I would get real nervous. Sometimes I would lock the door and not answer when they knocked. We had a real good dog that wouldn't let people come very close.The first dog I can remember real well was named Bounce. He was a large dog, coal black with a white spot on his nose and one on each foot He was the family pet and used to sleep in the house. He was also a good watch dog and heeler. I felt real bad when he died of old age.The summer I was ten years old, Mother made me go and stay with my sister, Rosa, while her husband was away working. They lived a long ways away from any neighbors on what we called ClawsonI remember I got so homesick that I ran away. I walked all that seven miles and I was so happy to be home with my Mother and Father. It was also so pretty and green after being on the sunburned flat, no trees nor anything that was green. As soon as I went in the house Mother asked, "How did you get here?" I said I had walked. She never kissed me or even put her arm around me. All she said was that I would have to go right back. When Dad came in for noon, nothing to do but he must take me right back in the buggy. I cried all the way, but they made me stay the rest of the summer.Riding to school in the Winter I froze my feet and I would have chill pains so bad that I would have to leave the school room, take off my shoes and stockings, and wade in the snow to stop the itching. My mother knitted me long-legged, black wool stockings. I just hated them after I got older. She also made me wear long-legged and long-sleeved union suits and panties. The panties were called tights and they were long-legged also. I always had to wear two petticoats, or what you call slips today. I used to have to wear boy's shoes. They were big, heavy leather with thick soles and hooks on them. I was about twelve or thirteen years old when they got the last pair for me and I refused to wear them. I said I would go barefooted first. They insisted that I put them on, but I wouldn't. I guess I must have put up a real rumpus, but that was once I won. They took them back and got me some girl shoes.Father always took Mother and me to Sunday School. When I was about fourteen years old I was asked to teach the kindergarten class in Sunday School. I did that for about two years then I was sustained as the assistant secretary in the Sunday School. I held that position for a year then I was sustained as secretary of the Sunday School. I held that position until I was married about four years later. I was also the secretary of the M.I.A. (mutual) I attended most all of the meetings including, S.S., sacrament meetings and mutual. I always went to primary when I was younger. I also attended what they call religion class. It was held one night a week, after school for an hour.After my sister Rosa and Jim were married and had their first child, Elva, they lived in Victor, Idaho. The lived in one room of William Wardle's house. Jim was working and I went to stay with them for a few days. Those Wardles had a whole house full of kids. There was on boy a little older then I. One day I was outside and this boy was feeding lambs. He came after me with this lamb bottle with a nipple on it and was going to make me suck it. I thought he was the meanest boy alive. I just hated him. He came and put his face up to the window one day just to see what I was doing. That made me real mad. I was about eleven years old at the time.A few years later when I was nineteen years old I was at Driggs to a dance. I met this Wardle girl who was about my age. It was the first time I'd seen her since I was eleven. We talked and she asked me if I'd like to meet her brother, Wilford. So I did. He danced with me the remainder of the evening. He didn't take me home as he was there a horseback, but he did make a date to take me to a celebration at Victor a few weeks after. That was how I met my husband. He was the same boy who tried to get me to suck the lamb bottle.[There is a line cut off.] We went with the horses and buggy. A lot of the time Wilford would drive from Victor to Tetonia which was about twenty miles. Then we would drive ten miles back to Driggs to a dance. Then he would take me back home and drive back to Victor just in time to get on the mail wagon and go to Jackson. There were no cars. The only transportation was by horses, buggy or wagon. We didn't get to see each other very often, about once in two weeks as Wilford was working very hard for his father either driving mail from Victor to Jackson or driving a freight wagon. His father had the contract to deliver freight and mail from Victor to Jackson. Victor was the terminal of the railroad. Wilford's father kept him really busy, he being the oldest so he came to see his sweetheart when his father said he could.We were married in the Salt Lake Temple April 10, 1914. (Melissa Ann & Wilford on their wedding day)
We went to Salt Lake from Tetonia on the train. My mother went with us. It was all so strange and I was so frightened as I was who had never left home much. It was only the second time I had ever ridden on a train. I was very grateful to my mother for going with me. While in Salt Lake we went to the Salt Lake Theatre to a play. It was Rip Van Winkle. It was the first time I had ever gone to such nice theatre to see real people acting. To this day I can still see Rip Van Winkle when he woke up from his long sleep, how old he was, and his gun. All that was left of it was the iron barrel. It was very impressive to me.My folks gave us a wedding dinner and had folks from around Tetonia where I lived come in. His folks gave a reception at their home for us. There were a lot of his friends and relatives who came. We got a lovely lot of gifts. We had a public dance the night after the reception. There was a large crowd and we had a nice time.We lived in Victor, rented us a house which had two rooms. We had nice furniture, I thought, for a couple starting house keeping. Father Wardle had made a deal with his two oldest boys. If they would not use tobacco until they were twenty-one years old he would give them $100 towards furniture when they married. Wilford had kept his part of the bargain. Instead of $100 they got the furniture for us. It consisted of a table, eight chairs, a cupboard with glass doors (real pretty), a chest of drawers, a dresser, an iron bed and springs (no mattress), and a wood rocking chair. We bought us a nice stove range. We had a nice lot of quilts. I had made most of them, but we had two given to us as presents. We also had a nice lot of dishes. We were really happy in our new home.On Oct. 29, 1915 there cam to stay at our house a little bit of heaven, a bundle of sweetness, our first little daughter. I think she weighed around eight pounds, had a real lot of dark hair, and blue eyes. We named her Audrey Melissa and we loved her so much. She was a real good baby. Mother Wardle was with us when she was born to help the doctor.When Audrey was about a year old we filed a homestead on 160 acres of land in the North of the valley, about seven or eight miles east of Tetonia. Wilford built us a one room log house. It was a very neat house. My mother furnished and then helped me tear and sew rugs. We took them to a lady in Victor who wove them into a carpet. I put that on half the floor and scrubbed boards floor the other half. We were cozy, comfortable, and happy but the snow got so deep we had to move out for the winter.On Dec. 23, 1917 we were blessed with another treasure from heaven, another little girl. She had dark hair and blue eyes. She was small, weighed just a little over seven pounds. My mother was with me when she was born. She was born quite early in the evening, and the next morning she woke Audrey up crying. Mother asked her what it was and she answered, "It's a wooser! [rooster]" We named our new girl Lula Theo. We had a midwife by the name of Mrs. Rammel who brought her into the world.All that winter Wilford was in bed with sciatica rheumatism. He was awfully bad. I had cows to milk and horses to feed and pump water for. One day when I was pumping water the well caved in. I threw my arm out and grabbed the pump, that was what kept me from going down the well. I was thrown against the curb and broke three ribs. I didn't go to the doctor. I just suffered with them until they healed. We had a real bad time that winter.Audrey ran away on the crusted snow trying to catch the birds, she said. We had her a pretty red coat, cap, and mittens. I bundled her all up and let her go out to play. That was when she followed the birds. I had to run after her. I guess I chased her for a mile before I caught up with her.On Nov. 15, 1919 our first bo was born. He had red hair. We named him William Hashton after Grandfather Wardle. We called him Willie. He was a very sweet boy. We almost lost him when he was born as he had a hemorrhage. He bled from eyes, nose, mouth and bowels. The doctor gave him several blood transfusions. He took two blood from me. That checked it. He lost so much blood that he was so cold, almost like death. They wrapped him in blankets and put him in the oven to try and keep him warm. The doctor gave him a sedative to keep him quiet when he wasn't 24 hours old. He lived to be two years and four months. He was sick most of his life. When he passed away his hair was white. We had moved to Pocatello and were living there when Willie passed away. Just before he died we had another little daughter born on Dec. 10, 1921. She looked like the other girls with long dark hair. We named her Myrtle Mary. She was just a little doll, but the Lord saw fit to take her. We were only permitted to keep her three months. We had four children. All of them, Wilford, and I were all sick at the same time with the flu. There was a bad flu epidemic. Wilford and three of the children had flu and pneumonia. Two children were taken. Willie died March 1 and Myrtle March 4, 1922. That was terrible. We were all too sick to leave the house so we had a little service for both of them at home. It took a long time to get over the loss of my children.On March 29, 1923 we had another little girl born. We named her Wanda Helen. She also had dark hair and blue eyes. She was a beautiful child. She lived to be eleven months old. We enjoyed her very much. She and the other girls got whooping cough. Wanda got pneumonia with it. She passed away Feb. 10, 1924. It was a very sad blow to all of us.On July 29, 1925 we had another son born. We named him after his father, James Wilford. He was a darling baby and the best one I ever saw. He sucked his front finger. It helped make him so good, and it never made his teeth crooked. We had moved back to Victor and he was born there. He had light hair.After Wilford came out little valentine girl. She was so sweet with her big blue eyes and dark hair. We called her Donna Phyllis. She was born Feb. 14, 1927 at Driggs, Idaho. She was a very good baby. We called her Phyllis.When Phyllis was one and a half years old we moved to Salt Lake City, Utah so that Wilford could get work. It was quite a change as I had never lived in such a large city.On July 10, 1929 we had another little girl come to live with us. She was tiny and sweet. We named her Verna Larene. She was the only one of the children born in a hospital, all the rest were born at home.We lived in Salt Lake for one and a half years. Wilford worked in a garage as a body and fender man. Then he got out of work. We went back to Victor and Wilford got work with Tonks with their sheep. Then we moved to Lincoln near Idaho Falls. Wilford worked in the fields and the sugar beet factory. These were depression years. Although Wilford worked very hard at anything he could find we had a very hard time to get along. When Audrey graduated from High School Wilford pushed a baby buggy we no longer needed to Idaho Falls. It was filled with some tools he sold, along with the buggy. We used this money to buy Audrey a graduation dress.Later we moved back to Pocatello and then to two different farms near Blackfoot. In 1938 we moved onto a ranch two and a half miles south of Rigby. Audrey was married, Lula teaching school, and the other children at home. While we lived here Phyllis went on a mission. I learned to make drapes and worked at stores in Idaho Falls to keep her on her mission.In the year 1955 I was operated on for gallstones. They removed two large ones and several smaller ones. I was in the hospital [all] of ten days. When I was able to walk my left leg started swelling real bad. The doctor sent me home, telling me to stay off it and elevate it. So I came home and was there for ten days. One morning all the swelling was gone and I had a terrible pain in my right lung. I could hardly get my breath. I went back to the hospital for eighteen days. The blood clot had passed through my heart and lodged in my right lung. It left me with almost half of my right lung blocked off. It bothers me sometimes, but not too much. It is something I have to live with.We lived on the farm until 1958. During this time all of the children married and Wilford Jr. served in the Navy.
We sold the farm and moved into town. It took a long time to adjust ourselves to town life. We have a nice warm home and we enjoy it. With all the children married and gone it gets really lonesome and quiet at times. We enjoy the children and grandchildren when they come to visit. We have 21 grandchildren, eleven boys and ten girls.During all these ears I worked in the church wherever we lived, held offices in M.I.A., Primary, Sunday School, and Relief Society. During the ears 1960 and 1961 I was Captain of the Doriene Cap of the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers. I have enjoyed working in the church in every capacity and I enjoyed D.U.P. At the present I am just a R.S. visiting teach and work director for quilts.Also during all this time I have saved a lot. I have made most of my children's clothes. I still make drapes at home.Wilford has always been very handy. He built our nice home on the farm south of Rigby. We both worked hard to raise our family. But we have been richly rewarded because our children have become such wonderful adults. Verna, Phyllis, and Audrey have all graduated from college. Lula is nearly ready to graduate now. All the girls have taught school. Wilford attended college for a short time. He is now a successful farmer, a member of the bishopric of his ward, and a leader in his community. We are very proud of our children.On July 9, 1962 I fell and broke my hip. I was in the hospital for ten days, then I came home. I was in bed or a wheel chair all summer. The doctor took x-rays an it seemed to be healing but I was in pain all the time. I had to take pain pills and sleeping pills. Then the pain got so terrible I had to have the doctor come and give me a hypo to put me out. We called the other doctor, Dr. Sells, who had done the operation. He said for me to come to the hospital for x-rays again. This was on Oct. 25. They found out that it wasn't growing together. I would have to have another operation to put in a steel ball, as the ball in the socket was decaying. It was broken in such a bad place that enough blood could not reach it to heal it. So the operated again, Oct. 17, 1962. I lay on my back for three weeks. The first week I had a ten pound weight on my foot, then they reduced it to five pounds. I kept that weight on for about ten days. After the three weeks was over they got me up in a walking chair and I had to walk. I was so weak that I would only take a few steps before I had to sit down and rest. I did that for a week then the doctor let me come home.While I was in the hospital my youngest brother, Earl died. I will miss him. He was the first of my brothers and sisters to go, except for those who died while small.I came home Nov. 12, 1962. I am slowly improving and walking in a walking chair more each day. I hope that someday I will be able to walk without help. I never realized before how many people cared about me. I am grateful to them all. The Lord has blessed me in so many ways and I am so grateful to him for sparing my life. I have had such wonderful blessings given to me. I know without a doubt it is through prayer that I am alive today. I hope and pray that I will be able to do genealogy work and be of service to my husband, my children, my grandchildren, and others in need.I want to tell about the many times I had to run a race with a car. Father had a pair of horses. One mare was a sorrel and the other was a dapple gray. We called the dapple "Dap" and the sorrel one "Nance". Father always hooked up Dap and Nance for me to take Mother where she had to go, to Relief Society or the store. We used the white top buggy. Automobiles were just coming into the valley. When I saw on of them coming I would hit the horses on the tails and try to make it into some driveway, as they were frightened of cars. But they would start bucking and regardless of how hard I hit them they wouldn't go forward. They would back us clear down in the burrow pit, sometimes in ditches. One time they back us in South Leigh Creek. We almost tipped over. That was one time I couldn't get out. A man came along and helped me to get the buggy setting straight and back on the road. That was on time I shook for hours and poor Mother was as frightened as I was.
My mother had dropsy a long time. She finally died in 1918. Father lived on the farm with Earl for a while and then alone. He was strong and healthy, but a small man. He stacked his own hay at the age of 81. He died in 1934 at the age of 83.

Alright! Noob saibot!
I like how there is blood in the body parts for noob. WTF? On MK3 Noob's MAIN page 3 of his sprites won't show up and two of them are really stretched. They're fine on his sprite page though..XD
great update!

Will be Khameleon sprites?
anywho, i'm beggin for MKSZ sprites, and i might make a MUGEN character for yalls to use with it.
Yes, it would me Sub-Zero
Khameleon is RIPABLE but it'd take years to complete. She is transparent (see through)so whoever attempted to do it would have to rip her from EVERY arena, from every single spot in the arena, and…well you get the point. Both her and Chameleon are techinally un-ripable.
oh FINALLY,to be honest i forgot all about noob and thought reptile was the last.
Timothy there will be no chameleon or khameleon sprites since they're transparent
Sweet the Noobs are up and looking great! Keep up the cool work!
Finally the thing what I've been waiting for, THANKS!!!
could there be a shaolin monks section
Are there going to be any prop/stage updates? If there is, don't forget MKDA stages!
Didn't one of the Capcom fighting games have shadow characters such as The Hulk?

I dunno what this have to do with Mortal Kombat but the game I can recall was Marvel vs Capcom.
There were hidden characters, Shadow Lady which was basically Chun-Li darken. As for The Hulk, there was a Orange Hulk. And a character in Marvel vs Street Fighter called Shadow, who was basically the Street Fighter character name Charlie but darken.
On topic. Thanks for the Noob sprites!
You guys actually did MK3 Saibot and finished the MK2 one? o.o I LOVE YOU!
Do you plan on putting up music,sounds,fakes,palette swaps,etc.? After all, this is a "warehouse".
Murdoink, There are still to many mistakes about the characters special moves section. Please, fix that.
Murdoink's right. Noob only borrowed Scorpion's spear which you can get in his section. Other than that, he doesn't have special moves.
I wasn't actually talking about Noob Saibot sprites.
That's what I meant: Just look at classic Sub-Zero in the UMK3 section for example. Not all his finishing moves are mentionned. And there are other characters where some of their special moves movement are not right. (Take Kitana's kiss fatality in the MK2 section).
You should put up sounds
For example: FIGHT (Shoa Kahn) or sombody getting hit and stuff like that
Will be "Bloody Explore" sprites and "Other Bone" sprites?
Bloody Explore and Other Bone Examples: "http://img217.imageshack.us/img217/476/06uo5.png"
When the new update?
Here are Rain's missing sprites:
7th punch sprite, some high kick sprites, scorpion combo kick sprites, last "being hit" sprite, scorpion spear pulling aprites, finsher sprites, and body part sprites. Post missing sprites from the link above to make life easier.
chamaleon and khameleon is un-ripeable but it's possible to obtain the sprites since they are from the anothers male and female ninjas.
i'll try to do some of them.
two things:
1 – we (the mkp team) have the "Bloody Explore†sprites and "Other Bone†sprites (the ones that said Burak)
2 – yes, cham and kham are un-ripeable but i tried to make the sprites and had good luck… i guess :P
finally, i don't want to make the complete spritesheet of cham and/or kham. if someone else is interested.. go ahead ;)
Hey guys, just wanted to say great site! I'm not a memeber, but I've been here many times for years now and I must say your site keeps getting better and better. I'm very impressed. It looks as though your very well close to completing your goal of having everything mk related from mk 1 to Armaggedon. However I have a suggestion. I was wondering if it were possible if you guys could capture sprites from the hand helds. What I mean is the Game Boy andvance and psp series. Examples include MK Deadly aliance, MK Tournament additon, and MK Unchained. I myself own MK Deadly Alliance for GBA and I have noticed the Midway team includes some neat things in it not seeen in their consol versions. For example MKDA for GBA includes the House of Pekara stage as well as the OIA Base that Hsu Hao blew up. On top of that the characters get some pretty wicked costumes that include animai and gothic appearnces. If you haven't gotten a chance to play this game I suggest you do because it is pretty fun. Anyways if any of you guys could capture sprites from that it'd be cool. I know you guys managed to capture Scorpion and Kenshi already, but why not do the other characters? Just a suggestion that I thought would not only enhance your site more but also give you guys a chance to still update now that your Armaggedon section is nearly complete. I'm sure you guys will have PLENTY of time to capture these sprites, if you take my suggestion, since MK8 is a LONG, LONG way away. Sorry this is so long, but it's my 1st time writing and I had much to say after observing this site all these years. Thanks for all your hardwork to all the guys on this site and I hope you'll find my suggestion useful.
A mysterious MK Fan with a past shrouded in Mystery.
anyway I'm begin to make edited sprites :P
You should make different transparent color, when you use black they are almost impossible to use.
awsome work on those sprites
but do you think you can get any mkt raiden sprites
I'm in the middle of making a complete Chameleon sheet from the UMK3 ninja sheets which are all basically the same. I'm not including any special moves or fatalities seeing as he wasn't in the game, but all stances and basic attacks are included. Here's a sample for everyone.
If you guys want the sprite sheet let me know.
Sorry, the sprite link didn't paste.
Like I said, if you want the sheet just let me know.
Has anyone else been getting weird loading from pages on MKW? Loading that can't be stopped.
Specifically it won't let me save from the main page (images try to save as "blank.png").
I found some sprites on the internet of noob saibot as if he was from mk1! I also found mk1 sprites of ermac and ofcourse the secret fighter reptile. So is it possible to put mk1 noob,reptile,and ermac on to your website. i can tell you where to find them. i found them some where in the google images. i found noob by tipping this in: mk1 smoke.but i still cant find smoke.mabey you could find him?
if kung lao kills you

Do We Really Need Copyright For Academic Publishing?
from the worth-thinking-about dept
QuestionCopyright has an interesting article about the role that open access might play in opening up China to new ideas. But what really caught my attention was the following section:
Because copyright originated from publishing, it is is primarily concerned with protecting the expression of works – whereas the ideas expressed are not copyrightable. In other words, it is illegal to copy or reproduce a work without authorization, but perfectly fine to borrow one's ideas by paraphrasing. Yet, if you talk with any scholars or professors in China, you will find that most authors are more concerned if others borrow their ideas without giving them credit. It is not a big deal if their papers or journal articles are posted online by others without their authorization. Some of the authors may even be pleased to know their ideas are more widely circulated so long as the works are attributed to their names and are not altered without their permission.
I think this raises an important issue. Perhaps copyright protects the wrong thing for academics: what they really care about is credit for the ideas their papers contain, not how they phrased them.
This analysis echoes suggestions I've heard elsewhere that one approach to reforming copyright would be to abolish it completely for academic publishing. Not only do scholars not need copyright for their work, if it's ideas not expression that counts, it gets in the way by putting obstacles between them and the research of others.
Moreover, as the QuestionCopyright article points out, fully opening up research would also be the best way of tackling what seems to be the chief fear of academic authors: plagiarism. More readers able to access more works would mean a greater likelihood that unacknowledged copying between them would be noticed and exposed.
