It just that Heat Blade is always been said to be useless (tensile strength related to temperature... or something, I forgot). Hence I said the plasma itself is aftereffect and basically a novelty compared to the destruction capability of the microscopic teeth.

Hnn, Valentines is around the corner...
I know that that Japan's equiv of Valentines is split to two days, one 'White' and one 'Black' - one for the guys to give the presents and on the other day, its vice versa...at least that's what I remember it to be...
...*Orimura-cest machine starts cranking* ...
"Waah~ Those are such cute bunny chocolates!"
"I know! I almost don't want to eat them!"
"That would be a shame not to..."
"Stop staring at my chocolates, Umi-chan!"
"Whoa, look at that..."
"Hnn? Oh, it's Orimura-san!"
"Wait, is that a box of chocolates she has!?"
"...what boy would be daring enough to give her chocolates...?"
"...Didn't last year, she completely destroyed the box given to her? Why did she keep this one?"
"Oh my god, she's opening it!"
"And eating one!!"
"Shhh! She'll hear us!"
"Too late for that... Look!"
"Ah! She's hiding it in her bag!"
Chifuyu had overheard the trio in the back but in all honestly, she didn't feel like whacking them for their girlish stupidity. They were girls after all...
Her mind instantly wandered back down to her bag were the batch of homemade chocolates lay inside a heart-shaped container.
"...that idiot...doing something so unnessacary..."
Despite her tone, a ghost of a smile graced her lips. He really had become a talent in the kitchen if he could make such delicious chocolate all by himself. How many of these foolish girls could boast that their valentines carefully mixed and cooked for them homemade chocolate? That thought caused a tingle to dance up her spine ...it really was delicious, that chocolate of his.
And it was all hers...
Shaking her head she tucked the small note away deep in her bag.
"*I love you, Chifuyu-nee*"
**I love you too, Ichika.**

Stupid character limit... Now it has been shorten to:
Why are there guys in ISA? Do aliens really exist? What is the legendary novel which the girls keep talking about? A story of school life, friendship, IS competition, love and most importantly, Bunny ears! because Tabane wear them on her head.

the beam saber makes sense because it was fans that theorized and somewhat made believable that the beams are actually megaparticles held in places by a magnetic field. Theoretically it should be able to be adapted into a multitude of shapes. If there were no magnetic fields to hold the energized particles into a shape then it's be no different than a beam rifle.
Though I guess plasma is okay since I remember some animes also show that vibrations with plasma as after-effect. Also I'm only concerned about such a thing because the plasma may also harm the user...

And I can see Chifuyu trolling them about the chocolate too. XD
Chifuyu: ... the darker the chocolate, the deeper the emotion...and the sweeter it tastes...
All the girls: *stare at their chocolates* 0.0
Chifuyu: *rolls her eyes* ...**They are such ... girls!**
Maya: *stares at Chifuyu* ... **So says the woman with the dark chocolate bits she got from her little brother...**
Chifuyu: ... *>.<* **Shut up, Yamada!!**

My reason is that it was directly stated that Plasma is the best stuff against I.S. barrier (I don't know where it was stated in canon, but someone said so). And Plasma = ionized gas so...
Of course this means the bystander is endangered
(Strange of course that now I try to follow canon despite I has a penchant for breaking them into pieces)

Random Trivia, Dark Chocolate is excessively bitter and yet sweet at the same time.
how? First they taste very sweet, then turned bitter. When they melt completely and the amylase in your saliva (sic) began to do the job, it began to taste sweet again but the bitterness still in there.
Just like a Love life.

SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic – Kentucky assistant coach Orlando Antigua has been named the head coach of the Dominican National Team it was announced by the Dominican Federation on Thursday.
Antigua has spent the past two seasons serving as an assistant to John Calipari for the Dominican team which fell one win shy of advancing to the nation's first Olympic appearance in 2012.
"I'm extremely excited to have this opportunity," Antigua said. "Anytime you can coach and be a participant of a national team, it's very special. For Coach Calipari and (UK Athletics Director) Mitch Barnhart to allow me to take part in this opportunity means a lot, on a personal level as well as professionally.
"I'm also thankful to the Dominican Federation, (Federation GM) Eduardo Najri and (Federation President) Rafael Uribe for their confidence in entrusting this program and team to me," Antigua said. "It is my goal to build upon the recent success we've enjoyed and continue to make this a program the Dominican Republic can be proud of."
A native of the Dominican Republic, Antigua suited up for the national team in 1994-95 and 1997-98. Antigua then served as an assistant coach with Calipari and helped lead the Dominicans to the finals of an Olympic qualifying tournament before losing to Nigeria. The loss prevented the Dominican Republic from reaching its first Olympic games.
Antigua will remain as an assistant at UK after having helped lead Kentucky to a national championship in 2012. Since arriving at UK, the Wildcats have advanced to a pair of Final Fours and reached the Elite Eight three of four years. Antigua serves as Kentucky's lead recruiter and he has helped UK haul in five-straight No. 1 rated recruiting classes.
"I'm happy for Orlando and this opportunity to lead the Dominican Republic national team," Calipari said. "I'm proud of what we were able to accomplish over the past two years, getting this country to the brink of its first-ever Olympic appearance. I'm confident with the experience he has that Orlando will build on the team's success and take it to new heights."
The Dominican Republic will report to training camp at the beginning of August before taking the floor for a pair of exhibition contests against Puerto Rico on Aug. 14 and Aug. 16. Antigua will then lead the Dominicans into competition at the Jenaro "Tuto" Marchand Continental Cup from Aug. 22-26 in San Juan, Puerto Rico.

What are > my options with getting postage to Mexico ? Canada Post's online ordering bordered on the horrific a year or two ago. I don't bother with it. I call through their toll-free 1-800-565-4362 number (toll-free for Canada and the USA, available 7am-7pm Eastern time, Monday through Friday) to place orders. No tax, no shipping charges, just the face value of the stamps to your doorstep if outside Canada. This number goes to their stamp-collecting hotline, and you get on their mailing list for future catalogs etc., but it works well. Mexico... e-mail me directly. I get, and keep, a small arsenal of Mexican stamps. It's more important for Mexico-bound mail to avoid sending "green stamps" with your QSLs if you expect them to reach their destination. As long as you get a good address for the XE ham (I may be able to help with that, if you have questions on what may be listed on QRZ.com), making an SASE with Mexican postage is the way to go. I have had an almost perfect record for getting my XE satellite QSOs confirmed down there. Sometimes, to avoid the occasional black hole of Mexico City's airport post office/Customs, I will have letters mailed from just across the border in Mexico. Mail generally takes longer to get to its destination compared to having it arrive directly from a foreign country (i.e., from Mexicali - across from Calexico and El Centro, California - to Mexico City is a 3- to 4-week trip for the Mexican post), but you do avoid some of the problems that might pop up. Again, I can help you with that if necessary. 73! Patrick WD9EWK/VA7EWK http://www.wd9ewk.net/ _______________________________________________ Sent via email@example.com.

When I opened up ActivePrompt (real name TBD) last week I wasn't sure what to expect. I thought it'd be really useful for prompts like the one I showed in the video. "Where do you think [x] is?"
A bunch of people thought similarly:
I was surprised by some really different tacks, though!
This is one of my favorites, and most different from what I had in mind:
On this grid the students will have to invent a way to communicate with each other about shapes, relative distances, etc. All of their dots are totally anonymous. This is a community building activity as much as it is a math lesson, and vice versa!
The follow up challenge is "create a star shape!" Holy moly – I'd love to see that class.
I'm so pleased to see such a diversity of uses already – I honestly never expected them. This is all totally open source – you can see all of the code at https://github.com/rileylark/activeprompt and I will happily accept offers to help. A few people have already started playing with it, but you can see there are a few active issues – it doesn't work on the iPad, apparently, and when the picture is too big it gets a little messed up.
Keep 'em coming, and let me know if you want to help – I'll probably keep working on the code, because it's fun, but I'm really eager to help YOU work on the code, because realistically we can get a lot more done together.
Have fun, and if you use this in your class, please post back here to tell us how it goes!

Real Housewives of New York City Star, Bethenny Frankel, is making a statement by posing nude in the latest PETA "I'd rather go naked than wear fur" ad campaign. TV Guide Magazine was present at the racy photo shoot on a Manhattan rooftop.
In the new interview with TV Guide Magazine, Bethenny speaks out about posing nude for PETA, her new bestseller, love life and dishes out on the Real housewives series.
Below are excerpts from this interview-
You're brave! How does it feel to take it all off?
Oh, I'm really excited. I think it's a really amazing cause. It's very simple to say to people, "You get to make a choice, and you can choose not to wear fur. It's such a frivolous thing to do, and I used to do it. I wasn't a crazy fur-wearer, certainly—I couldn't afford it and I'm not that outlandish—but it really is so superfluous.
How'd you get involved with PETA, anyway?
I'm a huge animal lover, so it's been a very organic process. I'm not on the top of any soapbox, but I think this is just a really interesting thing, and they came to me. They [noticed] that I'd gotten a lot of exposure lately—pun intended, because that's nothing like the exposure I'm getting today. I guess they trust that I'll be able to carry the message.
Do you have any pets of your own?
I have a dog, Cookie—she's a lhasa mix, a mutt.
Your book, Naturally Thin, has been a big hit. Does that mean that people are constantly checking out what you're eating?
Yes! I had a bowl of pasta, and it showed up on blogs. But my entire mantra is that there's no food that's forbidden; taste everything, eat nothing. And people have been watching me eat a lot more lately because for 52 weeks, I'm doing a food crawl for my Twitter followers. Last Monday was the lobster roll crawl, this week it's a gelato crawl, next week it's a French fry call. I'm going to be at McDonald's!
What's your take on the current season of your sister show, the Real Housewives of Atlanta?
I call it the Real Housewivez [sic] of the Hood. They're all very much into, "Are you a gangster, are you a hood"…asking [questions] about whether you came from money or didn't come from money. I don't think anybody's confusing them from being in the Great Gatsby…and who cares anyway? I think on the first season, they all wanted to prove how wealthy they are, and how they have a staff and stylists. There are two events a year in Atlanta—I don't know why they need stylists, assistants and hair people. And this season, I think they're trying to go backwards a little and be like, "This is where I came from." They're having a financial identity crisis.
Is that your favorite of the other Housewives franchises?
Atlanta's my favorite…my show included.

Milat – the serial killer who preyed on young hitchhikers. The backpackers – the innocent victims of a brutal murderer. Belanglo – a place that became synonymous with pure evil.
It was the biggest and most complex manhunt in Australian history, an investigation that gripped a nation. Behind the many false leads and dead ends, precious clues emerged that pointed to one man.
This is the story of how Ivan Milat was caught. Clive Small takes us inside the operation he led as his team painstakingly pieced together the evidence that put Milat behind bars. But questions remain. Did he act alone? Were there other victims? How much did his family know? And what of his great-nephew, who brutally killed a young man in 2010?
Chilling, forensic, compassionate – this is the definitive story that could only be told by someone at the centre of the police operation. It is also a powerful argument for the investigation of more than a hundred unsolved murders.

A closer look reveals that the primary reason for the pullback in prices was a decline in gasoline costs. Indeed, the gasoline index fell 2.3% last month, leading to a 1.2% decrease in energy costs for the consumer. Meanwhile, the food index was up nominally, rising 0.2% in the final month of 2012. The index for all items, excluding the volatile energy and food components, rose a rather pedestrian 0.1%, the same increase as in November. Overall, the 12-month change in the index for all items was 1.7% in December, down slightly from the 1.8% reading for the year ended November, 2012.
The latest benign reading on inflation is also within the Federal Reserve's target level. Thus, the central bank should have no problem continuing its aggressive monetary actions in an effort to stimulate the economy. The Fed's dual mandate calls for stable prices—which is the case right now—and maximum employment. The latter issue is still a major concern, which has prompted the aggressive continuance of quantitative easing. The Federal Reserve said it will continue its buying of both mortgage bonds and Treasuries until the nation sees what Chairman Ben Bernanke described as a "sustained improvement in the labor market." If nothing else, the latest tame reading on inflation puts no pressure on the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates. The lead bank plans to keep rates at their current level for the foreseeable future, perhaps even until the early stages of 2015.
All in all, the latest reading on consumer prices shows that inflation is not a major issue right now for the central bank. This data, along with yesterday's tame survey on producer prices, should allow the Federal Reserve to continue its accommodative monetary policies. Investors should note that later today the central bank will release its latest Beige Book summation of economic conditions.

Making history makes no sense
Not that it was a prediction worthy of prophetic recognition, but I did say that we would survive the election, and, as always, we did. It has come and gone and will now go down in the annals of American history as a landmark election because the United States of America hired a man of color to its highest executive post.
A century from now, little mention will be made of Barack Obama's scholastic or political accomplishments, which were many. While being the president of the Harvard Law Review is nothing to sneeze at, the color of his skin will receive more notoriety. The fact that he was a professor of law at one of the country's most prestigious universities will not even get honorable mention.
I also seriously doubt that historians will record the two bestselling books that Obama authored into history textbooks because lots of people have written books, but how many multi-racial presidents were there? Chalk up another shining example of the world having its priorities in order.
It is truly sad that Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, and Madonna got more press as individuals than any person of political significance in the history of the country. What is sadder is that the average person under the age of 30 knows more about the aforementioned three ladies than they know about their heads of state.
Not too long ago, a late night television program showed photographs of Nancy Pelosi, Dick Cheney, and Paris Hilton to people on the street. They were all asked the same question.
"Of these three people, who is the Speaker of the House of Representatives?" Five out of five pointed to Dick Cheney. None could name Nancy Pelosi, but all recognized Paris Hilton. To make matters worse, they all admitted that they were guessing. They didn't recognize Cheney either.
It stands to reason that after the elections are over, news goes through a bit of a void. A national election has a tendency to provide ample fodder for the news hounds, keeping them well fed for at least a year. But when it comes to an end, they are scrambling. Whether anyone is aware of it, this news void could seriously affect the way we are perceived as a society in the future.
If some archeologist digs through the rubble of the remains of our existence 2,500 years from now and comes across a newspaper from this week in American history, that person could get a skewed impression of our society.
If you were that person, what would you think of a society that featured the following as a signifi- cant front-page newspaper story?
Headline: "When it comes to toys, you can't beat it"
Text: "The stick was inducted Thursday into the Toy Hall of Fame at the Strong National Museum of Play in Rochester, N.Y. Curators praised the stick's ability to capture a child's imagination, as well as its all-purpose and no-cost qualities.
"Curators said the stick was a special addition in the spirit of a 2005 inductee, the cardboard box. They praised its all-purpose, nocost, recreational qualities, noting its ability to serve either as raw material or an appendage transformed in myriad ways by a child's creativity."
If I were the archeologist reading this tidbit of significant news, I would probably assume that the writers still had tails and I would be astonished to learn that they walked upright. The fact that they were capable of producing newsprint would be puzzling.
The truth is mankind has been distorting history for as long as history has been recorded. For instance, who is responsible for the ridiculous myth about Christopher Columbus talking Queen Isabella of Spain out of her money so that he could prove that the world was round? What a crock!
I have to assume that Isabella was not stupid or uneducated. Don't you think she said something like, "Chris - the Greeks figured that out a couple of thousand years ago!"
Aristotle (384-322 BC) said that it was common knowledge, at least among the learned, so it's been known for at least 2,500 years. It was most likely ascertained by some Greek scholar observing the Earth's shadow on the Moon during a lunar eclipse. Also, Eratosthenes of Cyrene was the first to accurately estimate the Earth's diameter, around 220 BC.
The point is we have no idea why Queen Isabella gave Columbus so much as a dime. There are rumors, but they were not recorded. He was the most inept explorer of all time.
The fact that we celebrate a holiday honoring this Bozo who claimed to have discovered America when he never set foot on North American soil is an embarrassment. There is evidence that Europeans landed in North America centuries before Columbus took his historic voyage. He just had a better press secretary.
Recorded history is just more proof that we live in a system we can't understand.

Manchester panel poised to enact restrictions on horses on Water Works landBy MARK HAYWARD
New Hampshire Union Leader
April 12. 2014 9:12PM
MANCHESTER - A package of restrictions that would keep horses off Manchester Water Works property under most circumstances is headed to the Manchester Board of Water Commissioners.
The Commission's Rules and Regulations Committee on Friday recommended regulations designed to address what Water Works officials say is an increased use of Lake Massabesic watershed property for recreational horse use.
Water Works officials say the horse waste can introduce dangerous microbes into the water and lead to algal blooms.
The new regulations say:
-- Horses would be allowed on gravel fire roads as long as they wore some kind of diaper or waste-collection device.
-- Horses would be allowed on watershed property as part of a commission-approved, organized riding event, such as a carriage ride. Plans for the event would have to include immediate removal of waste.
-- Horses would never be allowed in water or on the shoreline, beaches, boat launches or public parks.
"We're trying to accommodate (horse) use, but we want to protect the watershed," said Kimberley Griswold, chairman of the Rules and Regulations Committee.
The recommended changes are expected to go before the full Board of Water Commissioners on April 24.
The restrictions aren't sitting well with the horse riding community, which has turned out in strength at past hearings to voice opposition. Four attended the committee meeting Friday and spoke afterward.
"If they were to show clear proof, scientific proof that (horses) were destroying our water supply, I would probably be for it," said Manchester resident Leslie Baxter of the Granite State Carriage Association.
The four said sensible regulations would allow horses at Tower Hill Pond or the fire roads around Little Massabesic that are called the Maze. Regulations could also require riders to dismount and spread horse waste when feasible, they said.
They said Manchester tap water is award-winning quality, and healthy horses do not pollute.
"It's all about scare tactics," said Auburn resident Dorine Remillard.
Griswold said she supports efforts to study water quality, particularly because blue-green algae has been spotted in the lake. But she wants the restrictions to move forward.
"Because it's a water-quality issue, I think it's the board's obligation to err on the side of caution," Griswold said.
Last month, the state Department of Environmental Services removed horse riding from its list of restricted activities at Massabesic, following an outpouring of complaints from horse owners and several state senators.

Take our survey on academics, universities and Scottish independence

"I've kept my head down a bit," a senior university figure in Scotland told me recently. "There's the feeling that coming out is career suicide."
He was talking about taking a position (or not) on Scottish independence. Although a handful of academics have thrown their support behind the yes or the no camp, most academics are keeping quiet.
To find out more about this phenomenon—and to count academics on both sides—Research Fortnight is conducting an anonymous, independent and unattributed survey of researchers and university staff. Respondents can be entered into a draw to win one of five subscriptions to Research Fortnight or Research Europe.
Take the survey here. It'll close on 13 May.
It is the only survey we know of that is focused on the implications of independence and the debate on research, higher education and science. The five-minute survey is open to researchers in universities, research office staff, managers and researchers in industry. Responses will not be attributed to individuals or their institutions.
As well as counting the number of ayes and naes held on university campuses across Scotland, we want to hear more about what might stop academics from speaking their minds and which aspects of independence they're concerned or hopeful about—be it research funding, tuition fee policy or science policy.
If enough people take the survey, the results will be fascinating and give us the first true picture of researchers' views, hopes and concerns. We'll publish the results in a supplement to Research Fortnight magazine, which will be made available for free to everyone who takes the survey regardless of whether their institution subscribes to the magazine or Research Professional, our online news site and funding database.
The survey itself is free and shareable online, so please pass it on to colleagues and ask them to participate too.
"It is absolutely right that academics…are encouraged and feel free to express their views," said a spokesman for the first minister Alex Salmond in November. He was defending Chris Whatley, a historian at the University of Dundee who identified himself as a no voter while taking part in an academic debate on independence and found himself under fire from a Scottish National Party MSP.
Even if you feel you can't voice your view in public, we hope you can feed into our anonymous and independent survey.

The men will travel across the country to compete in the Pre-NCAA meet on Saturday, October 13th. Hosted by Furman University, the field is expected to be one of the most competitive races of the season, prior to the NCAA Championships. The Gauchos will be approaching the race with the intention of beating teams from outside regions which are expected to finish first or second in the district championships on November 11th. If the Gauchos beat a team that ends up earning an automatic berth to the NCAA meet (first or second in their region), the Gauchos will attain "at large points" which will be taken into consideration for earning one of the 13 "at large selections" to the NCAA Championships.
Last year the Gauchos acquired "at large points" at the Pre-NCAA meet by beating South Florida, Alabama and Missouri (teams that finished 1st or 2nd in their region), in an effort that tied the team with Portland for a 20th place performance out of a 53-team field.
This year the meet will have two races with teams randomly divided into a Gold Race and a Black Race. The Gauchos are looking to repeat last year's effort with a team that they believe is better. "All we need to do is perform the way we did last year," said head coach Pete Dolan. "With the runners we have now, that shouldn't be too difficult for us."
The Gauchos will be represented by:
Eric Gans
Josh Horton
Brandon von Guenthner
Bryon Lamorandier
J.T. Service
Aaron Sharp
Chris White
This weekend the Gauchos will also be sending their second-string squad to the Cal Poly SLO Invitational, site of the 2001 Big West Conference Championships. Scheduled to race for the Gauchos are:
Ben Armel
Scott Brandos
Ron DiMaggio
Scott McConville
Darren Salmi
Miguel Vasquez
The Gauchos will be resting junior David Monico and senior Steve Rider, but the pair are expected to be given strong consideration for the team's Conference Championship nine-person lineup.

Why must this be something you have to work hard at?
I am looking for an email list program that will allow me to do the following:
1. allow users to send an email to email@example.com and have it broadcast to those on the list (like sourceforge lists), any registered user could send messages.
2. (optional) allow users to register via email by sending a message with the word "subscribe" to email@example.com and alternatively unsubscribe.
I have looked at web apps like google groups and sourceforge but I would like to use a custom address as shown above. if anyone knows how to modify or alias google groups or sourceforge that would be great.
I have also looked at other open source software like phplist which works only as a newsletter subscription app as well as poMMo.
I am interested in gnu mailman, but I do not have a server I can dedicate to the list (except a linux godaddy host).
any ideas?

A doctor and a medical clinic owner charged with submitting false health-care claims were placed on probation Friday and ordered to pay$66,602 in restitution.
Alan Perl, 67, of Dudley and Dr. Lalit Savla, 74, of Holden were each charged with multiple counts of insurance fraud, larceny and medical assistance fraud in connection with their work at Injuries Treatment Center at 64 Dewey St. The business was owned by Mr. Perl, an unlicensed doctor since 1998. Mr. Perl was additionally charged with the unauthorized practice of medicine.
Prosecutors from the office of Attorney General Martha Coakley alleged that center patients were diagnosed and treated by Mr. Perl or other unlicensed employees from 2007 to 2009 and that Dr. Savla signed off on the payment forms submitted to insurance companies, suggesting he was providing the medical services. They said Dr. Savla, board certified in neurology and psychiatry, was paid about $5,000 a month by the center.
Both men pleaded guilty Friday in Worcester Superior Court. Dr. Savla's lawyer, Max D. Stern, and Mr. Perl's lawyer, Brian Murphy, said their clients were entering Alford pleas, which means they are maintaining their innocence while acknowledging that there was sufficient evidence upon which they could be found guilty.
Judge James R. Lemire continued the charges against Dr. Savla without findings for two years, during which time he will be on probation. As a condition of probation, he was ordered to pay $33,301 in restitution to the private and public insurers that paid claims in connection with the case.
Mr. Perl was found guilty and was sentenced to two years in the House of Correction, suspended for five years with probation. He, too, was ordered to pay $33,301 in restitution.
Assistant Attorney General Stephen Adams and Assistant Attorney General Evelyn Y. Tang had recommended that Mr. Perl be sentenced to 4-1/2 years in jail with an order of restitution and that Dr. Savla serve a one-year jail sentence with probation and restitution.
Mr. Murphy asked that Mr. Perl receive a suspended jail sentence, and Mr. Stern proposed that the charges against his client be continued without findings with an order of restitution.
Mr. Stern said the case was somewhat "unique" as far as insurance fraud cases go because the center's patients suffered "real injuries" and were provided legitimate treatment. He also said Dr. Savla believed the center's insurance billing practices were legal based on the Code of Massachusetts Regulations, as they existed at the time.

William "Bill" Francis Dickey was someone who always desired to make his community better, says Gary McJunkin.
In the decades leading up to the 1972 incorporation of North Charleston, Dickey was one of the area's most civic-minded residents, he says.
Dickey, who was born Nov. 17, 1921, and died May 24, always seemed to be helping get things underway as the area developed, McJunkin says.
He grew up around Charleston Heights, near the Charleston Naval Base. He moved to Park Circle after serving in World War II and training to pilot B-52s.
While his community-minded spirit took root in North Charleston, his good works and concern for the challenges in the lives of others extended to the entire Charleston community, said friends.
The banking, charitable and arts groups Dickey lent his talents to, often as a board member, number in the dozens.
March of Dimes, Rotary and United Way are just a few of them. A person would be hard-pressed to name a local community-minded organization that Dickey did not give his time to.
Dickey, a banker who was president and chairman of the board of Cooper River Federal Savings and Loan, also served on Charleston County Council.
In addition, he was a charter member of Cooper River Baptist Church.
"He was a person who had a desire to exceed in whatever he did and he worked hard at that," McJunkin says.
"My experience with him is that he was one who could see where there was a need. He had the ability to be a leader and was interested in doing what he could."
While Dickey was involved, he also seemed always to be behind the scenes, McJunkin says. "He did not do it for credit."
McJunkin also says Dickey was very personable.
"The best thing I found about Bill was that he was easy to talk to," McJunkin says. He would never be one way on one day, and another on the next.
Those who knew him knew that he was consistent. But there is something McJunkin recalls about his friend that not too many people knew.
"He was a great pianist and could play the organ. He could hear a song on the radio and play it by ear."
Dickey would half-joke that his mother, a piano teacher, would not let him leave the house until he excelled at his piano lessons, says McJunkin.

COMMERCE CITY, Colo. – After scoring four goals in his first two months as a member of the Colorado Rapids, the last place midfield super-sub Kamani Hill (above center) expected to find himself was riding the bench.
But that's exactly where Hill has found himself over the course of the last two months, mustering just 47 total minutes in MLS play since a May 26 win over Montreal. However, that could soon be changing after Hill's impressive performance in a 2-1 friendly win over Swansea City on Tuesday night, where his 14th-minute strike outside the penalty box went off the post and in and proved to be the decisive tally in Colorado's first-ever win over an English Premier League side.
"Kamani's getting back to his level," Rapids head coach Oscar Pareja said after the victory. "I have to accept that sometimes I miss things. I don't have any arrogance [about] accepting it, sometimes you miss things with them because this is coming so quickly. I say to them, 'Your job is to prove me wrong'. All the time. And I would not doubt to accept it, if I see players that are stepping up and I say, 'You know what, you have to play.'"
Hill, who signed with the Rapids in late March after bouncing around Europe for six seasons, provided an instant impact in his first month in Colorado, scoring in his debut April 1 against Chicago and netting twice against Chivas USA April 28. But the sudden demotion – at one point, Hill didn't play for five straight games in June and July – came as a surprise to the Bay Area native.
WATCH: Hill unleashes from distance
"[It was] obviously frustrating," Hill told MLSsoccer.com. "You want to play all the time as a player. I'm not the coach. The coach decides who plays so [I am] just waiting for the opportunity."
Hill's versatility allowed him to play in nearly every game during his first two months in Commerce City. Able to play both midfield and striker, the former VfL Wolfsburg player played at both positions in a mostly bench role, but Pareja said that he wanted to keep Hill fresh for the second half of the season.
"We started noticing on Kamani after his last couple games when he came in that he was struggling a little bit with his fitness and losing some confidence in that moment," Pareja said. "I just decided to give him a break. The time was healthy for him, so, I can see that he's getting back again. And remember that some of these guys are coming from a different season. Kamani was coming from not playing, so all those things matter at the end."
As for Hill, his goal Tuesday night was simply to make his case to warrant a spot back in Pareja's rotation.
"I hope so," Hill said of whether he accomplished his goal. "But, everybody sees the game differently. So we'll see."

|Margaret Sanger would have loved Barack Obama
Clenard Childress
Rev. Clenard H.
March 15, 2008
Revelations of eugenic ideology and the racist practices of Planned Parenthood are unfolding more and more.
The public is just beginning to believe what people of conscience have known long ago: Planned Parenthood has diabolically perpetrated their murderous plot to surgically eliminate those they deem undesirable. In other words: kill the babies of unsuspecting minority women by aborting their children. Then, tell them this is a "good thing" for you and your people. No other ethnic group in the United States has been decimated more by abortion than the Afro-American community. The war being waged upon innocent captives in the womb is led by Planned Parenthood.
The strategy:
Convince the targeted community to accept their eugenic racist plan by selecting one from their ethnicity to promote it. One of Planned Parenthood's earliest known projects was in 1939. It was called the "Negro Project" a project designed to control the birth of "human weeds" which was how Margaret Sanger referred to colored people; a project designed to introduce abortion, sterilization and different forms of birth control. This is what a co-eugenic wrote to Margaret Sanger to make sure the "Negro Project" was a success:
Clarence Gamble, heir of Proctor and Gamble, wrote a memorandum in November, 1939 entitled: "Suggestions for the Negro Project." In the letter he suggested black leaders "be placed in positions where it would appear they were in charge."
This is a letter to Clarence Gamble, from Margaret Sanger, in which she wrote,
For those of you that don't know, Barack Obama became a "minister" of Planned Parenthood a long time ago. He's so good at carrying out their racist, murderous, agenda against Afro-Americans and society at large, they gave him a 100% score on his voting record. Planned Parenthood is following the strategy of their racist founder, Margaret Sanger, to the letter. Planed Parenthood is saying, "We have our poster boy! Get him out in front as a lure for their women and men. Get them into our abortion clinics and dismember their children by the millions!" You say absurd? No Way! Planned Parenthood's Valentine cards were sent out to hundreds of thousands of young people in the nation. Whose face is plainly seen waving to them with a big smile? Whose endorsement is given to this racist and calloused organization? Who is used to lure children to give credibility to its hideous plot? Barack Obama, that's who!
On July 17, 2007, Barack Obama said the following before the Planned Parenthood Action Fund:
The first friend mentioned is, Cecile Richards, who he commends for extraordinary leadership in killing babies who are disproportionately black.
The second is, Steve Trombley, who is the president of Planned Parenthood Chicago. You can imagine how many of our young women have been victimized and whose pre-born children were killed under his supervision. His third friend he mentions is, Pam Sutherland. She is the State CEO of Planned Parenthood for Illinois. America needs to know how much these folks were, and continue today, to be in the head and actions of Senator Barack Obama. How much did he compromise his own values?
I choose here to quote Dr. Martin Luther King from his last Sunday sermon before his death:
This is the challenge facing modern man.
When the challenge came to Barack Obama to call on conscience, he refused. What most Americans would say no to, he chooses to say, yes to! He refused to do what The Dream called for: to allow your conscience to tell you what is right and what would be wrong. You may ask, why, but always remember this observation: Abortion is a lot like slavery; if it was not lucrative, it would not have been legal!
Pam Sutherland ... of ... Illinois Planned Parenthood ... told ABC News, "We worked with him specifically on his strategy. The Republicans were in control of the Illinois Senate at the time. They loved to hold votes on 'partial birth' and 'born alive.' They put these bills out all the time because they wanted to pigeonhole Democrats. ..."
Let me interpret. We, Planned Parenthood, told him what to say, and how to say it, so we could continue to kill infants; babies, just a few inches from birth, and those completely out of the womb that we missed! Our "colored minister" was well prepared by Planned Parenthood. Partial Birth abortion which I will not describe here but know that 80% of Americans don't want this barbaric act practiced in this country Barack Obama voted to keep legal! The Born Alive Victims Act is a law to protect a child that was born alive after a botched abortion; a law that would require that the child would receive medical assistance. Barack Obama voted against it! Yes. Barack Obama, with an "engaging personality" is being used by the leading abortion provider in the United States to promote and execute infanticide of predominately minority babies!
And what are most Afro-Americans saying? "Yes We Can! Yes We Can! Yes We Can!" They are ignoring conscience. They are ignoring The Dream!
Yes, I believe it would be wonderful to have a Black man as president, but it's more important for there to be, God's man as president, and that his character would reflect my values; values reflected in the 10 Commandments and our Declaration of Independence. While most African-Americans are applauding him for the color of his skin, they have failed to look at closely the content of his character.
Martin Luther King, while sitting in a Birmingham jail, without the internet, cell phone, library resources, or communication from the outside, penned that famous prophetic letter to answer some local Pastors who questioned his use of public demonstrations. Martin, in a portion of his letter, discussed the responsibility of the church to address social issues. He said, "... the early church put an end to such evils as infanticide." Martin Luther King wrote from the passion of his spirit the spirit that was fighting for justice and equality. Martin called infant killing evil. Barack Obama calls it "a women's right." Martin Luther King made his observation from a jail cell, having been put there for defending the civil rights of those whom had been denied theirs. Barack Obama has made his from caucusing with those who profit from the destruction of babies in the womb. These are men and women who ignore the silent screams of a lost generation.
Another quote from Dr. Martin Luther King that would be so appropriate here is, "The Negro cannot win if he chooses to sacrifice the future of his children for immediate comfort and safety." It is now imperative we all hear the words of this great Prophet of God. It is obvious we must reject the "Barack Obamas" who have placed us in great danger by their ideologies, a position Martin Luther King warned us we cannot expect to win! Can we trust Barack Obama's judgment? I think not.
Yes, Margaret Sanger would love Barack Obama .... Her protégés certainly do.
Rev. Dr. Clenard H. Childress, Jr., is the senior pastor of The New Calvary Baptist Church in Montclair, NJ. He is the founder of the website Blackgenocide.org and president of Life Education And Resource Network, Northeast. LEARN is the largest African-American pro-life group in the US. Rev. Childress is a leader in social activism and partners with the Center For Bioethical Reform, taking the Genocide Awareness Projects to college campuses around the country.
Rev. Childress and his wife Regina have 4 children: Clenard, Thomas, Tonya, and Tia.
It is impossible for any Christian to support Barack Obama.
Meanwhile, it's good to know Hillary is against abortion so that conservatives can help her with clear conscience in her goal to defeat scumbags Obama and McCain.
This needs wider circulation. BTTT
He gets it.
If Barack Obama's mother had gotten pregnant after the "sexual revolution" instead of in 1961, would she have chosen to have him be born? I wonder if he has ever thought about this?
In 1961, shotgun weddings were still the norm, even if the father was a grad student from Kenya and the mother was a college freshman.
MMMM, Isn't planned parenthood the liberal democrates baby?
Once again they are pointing the fingers the wrong way, POINT THEM AT THE PARTY YOU HAVE SUPPORTED ALL THESE YEARS!
At least 17 million of the 50+ million abortions since 1973 have been black Americans.
That's over 1/3 of the total black population.
That's statistically worse than the Holocaust.
This was a Holocaust perpetrated by the victims on themselves with the sometimes almost fanatical endorsement of their own leadership.
What kind of black leadership has there been in the past 30 years?
Where has the black church been in the last 30 years on this issue?
Is this issue included among those considered as most important to the future of African Americans?
Is this a trick question?
When was that wedding date again? I seem to have misplaced that information.
According to wikipedia, Obama'a parents married in January of 1961 and he was born in August of '61. By my obstetric training, he was conceived in November 1960! Unless he was a preemie!
This is the real truth. It's who they are.
The State of Hawaii only records marriage licences by the month and year? A day of the month is not noted? If I could recall my anniversary by only the month there would be trouble at home. Was there really a legal wedding?

Belgium: Lotus expect to finalise an investment deal imminently and are confident Kimi Raikkonen will decide to stay on next season, according to the Formula One team`s principal Eric Boullier.
"Yes, I am (confident). He loves this team. He likes to be here and he likes the environment we created for him," the Frenchman told reporters after Sunday`s Belgian Grand Prix.
"I understand he needs to be reassured about the strength of the team financially, the technical challenge we have to face for next year... it`s normal."
Boullier said he expected new investment, first announced in June, to be finalised by next week`s Italian Grand Prix to put the team on a secure footing.
Raikkonen, the 2007 champion who is out of contract at the end of the year and has been linked to other top teams, indicated at Spa that his salary had not been fully paid and Lotus knew what had to be resolved before any talks could begin.
Boullier said the issues alluded to by Raikkonen, who won the season-opening Australian Grand Prix and is currently fourth in the standings, were being addressed.
"They are solvable if we can put in place the package we want to put in place," he said.
"There is a lot of effort in this team to compete at the highest level. Obviously you need to establish then another strategy once you reach the first step. It`s like playing in the Premier League, fighting for some wins and let`s say top three position in the championship.
"But if you want then to be consistently (successful) after like Man Utd, you need another level of investment and commitment and this is what we are looking and working for."
Lotus announced in June that a consortium of private investors, including an American hedge fund manager and an Abu Dhabi-based multinational business group, had acquired a 35 percent stake.
However, owner Gerard Lopez subsequently revealed the deal had not been finalised.
"We are still working on it but I think we solved most of the issues now and so we expect before Monza to get the deal completely done," said Boullier.
Raikkonen has been linked to Red Bull, although his manager appeared to have ruled that out last week, and a return to Ferrari but being number one at a well-financed Lotus is an attractive option.
"I`ve always said I have a very good team here, but things have to be right in all areas," he said last week. "As long as I get a place where all the things are as I want them to be... then that is fine for me."
Lotus have the same Renault engine as champions Red Bull but struggled at Spa, with Raikkonen suffering the first retirement since he began his comeback last year after two seasons in world championship rallying.
The brake failure ended a record run of 27 successive points finishes by the Finn, whose French team mate Romain Grosjean finished only eighth.
For Monza, the fastest track on the calendar and last of the season in Europe, Lotus will have a longer wheelbase car to help the handling.

I had started watching Tonagura just because it looked like some light ecchi title, and indeed it is, but i just finished episode 4 and kinda got a clue of this anime and... i find it a bit idiotic; i mean, if it wasn't for that small weapon maniac sister of him always getting in the way, i would have kept watching it, but she just got on my balls and it looks a bit too episodic, so dropping it. The graphic wasn't exceptional either, and the boy was just an horndog and nothing more. The protagonist of He is my master at least made me laugh.
Now i don't really know what to do: i had just gotten in the mood for animes, so i guess i'll start watching Nodame Catabile in a while.
When i get in the mood for reading again, Namiiro will surely be the next. I already miss Kimi no iru machi: it really was a good suggestion
Hahahaa, just finished watching the first episode of Nodame Cantabile, and i laughed hard all the time; i thought that Nodame was some serious and irritating girl, but she turned to be an airhead and kinda random; also, from the 1st episode, it looks like the pov is from Chiaki, and i enjoyed it very much. Now getting on the next episode.

I can definitely suggest more romance manga but I want to know if you want something light where the romance only goes as far as kissing or do you want something targeted for adult audience? where the manga may contain any of the following like strong sexual content,Violence,more swearing etc.
Out of all the manga that I suggested GTO,eternal Sabbath,,Wolf Guy - Ookami no Monshou are the only ones that are finished. I Read all 3 of them and they were really good and I chose them based on the things you liked but you seem to pick on the littlest things for not to reading them. They all have some romance but where they succeed the most in capturing their audiences is through their characters and interesting plot. There are 2 ½ months left before the new show finish airing while you wait you can check out those 3 and I'll continue suggesting more manga
if you didn't see my post about btooom I'll say it here the manga does not take place in virtual reality world instead it takes place an island where the protagonist is forced to play a real life version of his favorite game ala battle royale. Sounds like something mindless and boring but it really isn't as the main protaganist and other characters tend to use strategy, mind games, and deception in order to win just like in death note. The main girl in here is cute
just to give you an idea what kind of manga I may suggest you if you were to go for manga targeted for adult audience only here are a few samples.

Oh oh, Velvet kiss picked up my interest immediately after i saw the girl on the cover: definitely the next title i'm going to read.
Nozoki Ana also has good premises and i'm very willing to read it, but i hope it doesn't get demential like Tonagura (if you get what i mean)
Anyways, at the moment i'm watching the first season of Nodame Cantabile and i've got to say that i'm really enjoying it. So far the romance didn't really play a big role, but this title is hell funny and the humor and those faces remind me a lot of Arakawa under the bridge (The artwork of Chiaki is almost identical to the one of Kou). I'm willing to finish the first season today and follow up this story with the other seasons but i wanted to know if the next seasons are:
2nd season: NC Paris
3rd season: NC Finale
So that i start getting them
Btw ye, when something doesn't convice me 100% i tend to discard it for stupid things until someone seriously convinces me, haha. You kinda have to force the interests in me in order to get me to read/watch something "suspicious". This happened with quite a bunch of titles lately, NC included.
Now getting on ep9 of NC.
Forgot to answer some of those questions: what i really like is adult content adapted in a cool OR funny way: things like WTNHK, where topics like suicide, sex, fraud are treated in a... not too serious way, almost even joking on them. I like when the romance is deep and worked on, but when it's also coupled with some ecchi scenes, such as embarassing situations and what not. I also prefer if the boy were more real, and not so pure that it's just unbelievable (What's wrong with a guy wanting to make out with his girlfriend, if she's ok? All that "Oh we won't do anything, i'll stay virgin until we are married and are 40's" what the fuck, really, it's depressing). If it's a mainly ecchi/romance title, i prefer if the guy is like Keita from Kissxsis: he may be pushing away his two willing sisters for 3mins, but then give up and enjoy those sexy games. Also, when the adult content is about murder, death, psychological stuff etc, i prefer if those topics are treated in a cool way, exactly like Death Note, and not in a serious and dark way like Monster. That's it: either sex content treated in a light way, like in Kissxsis or any other ecchi show out there, or adult content(such as murder, drug, death, psycho, violence) treaded in a "cool" way (Take DN as an example, once again).
However, if you take a close look at my top5, almost none of those titles contains what i wrote above: that's simply because they were fucking good (Ah no wait, WTNHK is there, and Haruhi Suzumiya actually has Kyon that hasn't many pure thougths --> Mikuru photos folder. Oh well, nevermind lol)

Actually... it's the opposite: i barely can feel anything, i care about nearly nothing and often talk nonchalantly about serious topics, and that's why i want a title where such topics are treated in a cynical way, because i myself could talk about horrible stuff like it was nothing.
When i'm showed this kind of things, but portrayed in such dramatic way, i just can't feel it and often get annoyed, because i don't find it that dramatic. On the otherside, when sex is treated in a too serious way, the exciting factor goes away, and i'm no longer entertained.

Almost finished ep19 of Nodame Cantabile, but it became very boring for me; i thought the romance was hell more developed, and instead Nodame looks more like some secondary character: this whole title is centered on Chiaki's career and music, and i started yawning hard. After i finish this episode i'll chill out on something else; let me know if i should really continue this series expecting something. (when i first saw this title, i thought it was about an irritating girl and a tsundere boy slowly falling in love while playing instruments together, and instead the story was 98% about music and Chiaki, with Nodame being clumsy and playing a background role; to be honest, i'd have preferred if it were how i imagined it)

One of my favorite chapters would have to be chapter 65: open up your asshole and chapter 66:a smile for a sad young girl. These two chapters are a good example of a taking a serious issue and turning it into something cool and not too serious . Just give it a shot if you dont like even after reading 30 chapters then Ill suggest you 3 new adult titles that I found enjoyable.

I have no doubt that GTO is good, but the main problem is that it don't recall it having any kind of romance, and the only title that didn't contain romance that i still loved was ONLY Death Note. If you really think that GTO is at the level of DN, then i'm trying it out, otherwise it'll have to wait a lot.
Anyways, i'm continuing watching Nodame Cantabile just because i had almost finished 1st season. Ah, even tho it didn't have much romance so far, i still have to thank you for having suggested it, my Sensei, haha, because this way i discovered my interest for russian classic music (I think it was episode 9, Rachmaninoff concerto n2: it gave me so many chills, i didn't really think such anime could deliver such... feelings through music. I actually didn't really think classical music could; so far i had only listened to "happy" or "regal" classical music, which kinda bored me, but this thing full of crescendos and fast pieces was just awesome, really loved it)

here is a title that I found fucking hilarious.it's kind of like the adult version of koharu biyori

I'll also make sure to check out GTO, since i'm most likely not going to pick up the 2nd season of NC (Unless these last 3 episodes turn out to be monstrously awesome)
In this piece of time i had i was gathering some pieces of Rachmaninoff, and now going for the 20th episode of Nodame Cantabile.
Tonight i'll read something that got suggested through PM that would be an hentai version of Kissxsis (It's called swing out sisters).

Velvet Kiss was suggested some post before, and i had already decided to read it. Anyways, next time try not to easily spoil events happening in the manga
Spoiler for like:
Btw, finished watching the first season of Nodame Cantabile, and it was pretty much funny, beside that made me discover something classical that i like. However, there was barely any hint of romance and it was only focused on Chiaki's career; also, i really wanted more of Nodame. I liked it very much in the first episodes, where there was more Chiaki & Nodame, and them playing together, that was real fun. Episode 11 was best imo. Still, you can't say this title is a romance. If the following seasons are romances, i'm going to continue it, otherwise i'll just read the mangas that got suggested.
PS: Why was it even called Nodame Cantabile, when Nodame didn't really have much screen, in my opinion? I really wanted some more of her.
For tonight i'm done. I'll see you friday, and then start reading those mangas.

This title had so much potential but it's life was cut short so the ending may seem a little rushed
oretama aka my balls-you'll get plenty of laughs with this one
Kimiiro Focus -I'm reading this on Saturday
Nana to kaoru-very refreshing title
KOI WO SURU NO GA SHIGOTO DESU- I know you will like this one
My taste for manga never fails me. So all the stuff I suggested before have not been bad titles they were actually good. you should make another list for manga only so that way people could suggest more titles.

I would be happy if they play Come, His Majesty King Raam, Pushy, A nice weather for ducks, In the bath, Space Walk, Elements, Return to Patagonia, and the beautiful Experiment #6!
My dream setlist would include both Patagonia's, Space Walk, In the Bath/Soft, Ramblin' Man, Page One, Come, Ka'Zar, Staunton Lick, Go, A Man Like You, Page One, and Baby Battle Scratch. Is that too much to ask?
Actually, I don't care what they play. They could play my least favorite songs of theirs and I'd be happy.
For your health
We need a bump.
For your health
I'll try to do one this weekend, but if anyone else has the time to do one, do it!
Damn, I've had no time to do the mix, sorry. I'll do it for sure though.
Any Tom Middleton fans around here?
I want to hear a mix too, I only have Lost Horizons on cd and then a couple random mp3s. I love Lost Horizons so much. So so much.
If you can find it, download this live set:
Lemon Jelly - Live Maida Vale 17.03.03
It's a 47 minute long live set, absolutely perfect when you're "busy" and don't want to have to change the music every 4 minutes. There are some nice tweaks to their tunes in it.
Hope you guys like it as much as I did...
Please please please do the work for me? I'll owe you one.
Deal. I just need to get off work later this afternoon and I'll sort it out.
Which site is easiest for uploading files such as this?
Superfan will be in front of the Fonda masturbating furiously to a photo of him taking a photo of a band. Set is from 8:05 to approximately 8:05:15. Guest list only.
Upcoming Shows: Spamalot (7/31), HARD (8/1) 2001 Space Odyssey with LA Phil (8/12), Opeth (10/18), TOOL (10/31), Coachella 2016 (WK1), David Gilmour (Wherever I need to go)
Or megaupload.
Lemon Jelly - Live Maeda Vale 17-3-03
this live set has accompanied some of my favorite nites... enjoy!
you the man kmt
Don't you have the track listing, Ken?
No I do not have the tracklist, but it's all pre-64-95 stuff (which got me to fall in love with LJ), but that doesn't detract at all from my high regard of this recording. As someone posted earlier, they could play their "worst" songs and I'd be in the middle of it all proclaiming it to be the greatest night of my life. I'm so happy that others here apparantly share this sentiment.
My favorite part is the Curse of Ka'Zar part. Does anyone know what they're sampling in Curse of Ka'Zar?
I got down to like 20 minutes left of downloading this last night and then the motherfucker timed out. Gonna try again tonight.
I downloaded it, but just got to listen like 15 minutes of it while I was driving to school. Looks like I'll be listening it all this week.
Their Breezeblock sets are amazing too.
That live show is A+ great recording too.
It's fucking gorgeous!
Thanks, Ken! This definitely rules!
Also, I downloaded Flowchart. I must have grabbed a weird album, because a lot of it doesn't sound like LJ. But I definitely would like to hear more.
For your health
Let's keep the love up
Lemon Jelly - Breezeblock Set 09/20/99
Thanks Orbit, d/ling now.

Indianapolis, IN -- Indiana Secretary of State Todd Rokita today applauded a plea agreement between David J. Shaw of Indianapolis and Marion County Prosecutor Carl Brizzi that could lead to a 10-year jail term for Shaw. Shaw is a former branch manager with Raymond James & Associates, Inc., a registered securities broker-dealer.
"White-collar criminals are beginning to get the message that in Indiana we take securities fraud very seriously. This is great news for Hoosier investors," Rokita said.
An investigation initiated by Rokita's office regarding Shaw's activities at Capital Investments, Inc. led to eight criminal counts alleging Shaw offered and sold unregistered securities and sold securities in a fraudulent manner. Capital Investments, Inc. was an unlicensed investment firm that Shaw operated in addition to his duties as branch manager of a local Raymond James office. Other counts included charges that Shaw committed fraud on a financial institution, corrupt business influences, theft, and forgery.
Rokita referred the case to Marion County Prosecutor Carl Brizzi, who under Indiana law has the authority to file criminal charges. The offices continued working together to develop the case, which ultimately resulted in 23 counts of alleged criminal activity.
"I want to congratulate Prosecutor Brizzi and his staff for seeing this case through to a successful conclusion." Rokita said. "This is an excellent example of what is possible when officials at the state and local level cooperate, share resources, and put the interests of Hoosiers first."
Rokita reminded Hoosiers to check out any investment opportunity before investing. Businesses holding themselves out to be corporations should be registered with Rokita's office, as should both investments and their sellers. Information can be verified at Rokita's website http://www.in.gov/sos/ or by phone at 317.232.6576 (for corporations) or 1.800.223.8791 (for securities).

My ancestral Hurleys of Coolnagrane were a rather quiet mysterious and lonely bunch. Unlike the legal scrapes and brawls that my Collinses may have found themselves in, there isn't anything like that about the Hurleys in the Southern Star archives (one was victimized by the theft of a good suit, but that's a long story). The descendants of one Daniel Hurley got most of the press, with the girls winning butter-churning contests! I call the Coolnagrane Hurleys "lonely" because they were not surrounded by lots and lots of Hurleys, unlike my Collins and McCarthy ancestors in Lissane.
The Abbeystrowry Tithe Applotment (1835), which was incredibly faded and practically impossible to read, indicated only a John Hurley in Coolnagrane. There was a Daniel Hurley indicated in what I think is Kilnaclasha (too faded to read the townland name). Those were the only two Hurleys I could scrape out of Abbeystrowry. There are more Hurleys in Castlehaven, Caheragh, and other surrounding civil parishes.
In trying to find a death record for my great-great grandfather John Hurley, I had to get a copy of a death record for just about every man named John Hurley in Skibbereen, from 1880 on, but I finally found it. (1880 was the year John's youngest child Annie Hurley was born.) I was fooled by the 1901 census, as he is not on the household record, but his wife Margaret did say she was married, not widowed. John died 1-Apr-1908, age 70, four years to the day exactly before his daughter Ellen died. Son John was present at death.
From the death record I was able to estimate the birth year (1838) and have Skibbereen Heritage dig up John Hurley's family, since we knew about his father Michael. John was baptized 23-Feb-1839. His mother was Bridget Cahalane. Skibb Heritage said the Hurley residence was not noted on the records (only Skibbereen & Rath RC parish), and they were unable to find a marriage record.
It looks like John had three younger brothers:
Patrick, bap. 2-Mar-1841
Daniel, 31-May-1843
Michael, 15-Jan-1849
Those winning the butter-churning contests were possibly descended from Daniel. I am not sure, because I find two Daniel Hurleys in the 1901 census, one age 40 and one age 69. I think the older one (the dairy man) is John Hurley's brother. Since he was a dairy man, his descendants were probably the prize-winning butter-churners. I don't know whose son the younger Daniel is.
I hold a slight question mark over Patrick only because the record says Coughlan, not Cahalane. These are two distinct names with different origins. But from having stared at many hundreds of illegibly written records I wouldn't be surprised if there were a transcription error picked up on the way. And, Bridget apparently went by Biddy.
The Coolnagrane John Hurley in the 1835 Tithe Applotment is an unknown, speculatively the next Hurley up the patrilineal line from Michael (the Michael married to Bridget Cahalane). Perhaps Daniel of Kilnaclasha? was John's brother. I can only theorize.
Griffiths only shows Michael Hurley in Coolnagrane.
My Hurley chart is updated: Hurleys of Coolnagrane
My quick scan of the BMD index available from the LDS library only turns up one Bridget Hurley death record of interest. She sounds too old to be Bridget Cahalane - she would have been about 46 when John was born!. But the estimated age at death could be wrong so I will give that one record a shot just to eliminate it as a possibility.
Of course the question remaining, which may not be possible to answer is, where did this little cluster of Coolnagrane Hurleys come from?

Grandmom's uncle Daniel Collins, 21-Sep-1865, of Cullomane
Denny Dan Larr's youngest brother was Daniel Collins, whose birth was registered around 21-Sep-1865 in Cullomane. Thanks to Aunt Peg I finally know what happened to him.
The whole topic came up when we were discussing my 2009 trip to Ireland. I had sent some photos of Kenmare to my cousin, and Aunt Peg said on the phone one day, "Did you know we have cousins down in Kenmare?" When my ears perked up she laughed.
When she was about 17, Peg went down to Kenmare and met a cousin named Laurence, who was about 10 years older. He had a brother named Denis. Laurence had a chemist's shop (a pharmacy) and Denis was a schoolteacher. Aunt Peg also said something about a policeman.
It turns out there aren't that many Collinses in Kenmare, and my initial online search turned up a Daniel and a Denis born in the 1870's, plus a Laurence born in 1913.
From Laurence's birth record I learned that Daniel Collins was his father and Elizabeth Lavery was his mother. Daniel was listed as an ex-R.I.C. Constable. I did some further searching at the LDS Family Search but have not yet turned up another child named Denis. The family residence was listed as Direen. There is a Direen on the Ring of Kerry.
I searched the 1911 census online - nothing.
At the church record website Irish Genealogy, I did turn up evidence of an older child named Mary Ellen, born 1906.
I tried again to search the 1911 census for Daniel, Elizabeth, or Mary Ellen Collins. Nothing.
I was starting to think that the family lived in some special kind of construction that was tallied on certain forms that did not get digitized for the census online. Or that they lived in England. I searched some UK census databases, but could not find anything that really matched.
I tried to match Elizabeth Laverys to Daniel Collinses in the PILOT at Family Search, in the hopes of coming up with a marriage record. No luck.
The name Lavery is very rare in Southern Ireland, and is far more frequently found in the northern counties or even Dublin. I was starting to think that Daniel married Elizabeth up there, and that their marriage record was buried in the church records up north.
In the meantime, I finally obtained the death record of Daniel and Denny Dan Larr's father, Danny Larr. Danny Larr died 14-Jul-1894 in Cullomane.
Daniel, the son, was the informant. For informant residence, there is a somewhat illegible scrawl followed by "Co Kerry."
A post to Co Kerry Roots Chat soon attracted someone who was able to identify the place as Templenoe, a civil parish in Kerry. He provided a link about Templenoe at Genuki. This very informative page says that Templenoe was segmented between the district electoral divisions of Dromore, Greenane, Kenmare, Reen, and Loughbrin.
I tried the 1911 census again. In Greenane, there is a placename called Derreenfinlehid. Well, that starts with Derreen, which sounds like Direen. Geographically, it is close to Sneem, which is rather far away from the other Direen I had spotted earlier.
In Derreenfinlehid, there is a Domhnall Ó Coileáin. The household census return is in Gaelic. His wife is Eilís ní Choileáin, and his daughter is Máire Eibhlín. There is another son called Domhnall Sheosaiph.
On the form, which was filled out in Gaelic, somebody had handwritten "pensioner" for Domhnall's occupation and "schoolmaster" for Eilís's occupation.
Never would I have imagined that their census return was in Gaelic!!!
The 1911 census says that Daniel and Elizabeth were married nine years. That would put the marriage date around 1902. Still no luck finding the marriage record.
I did find Lizzie Lavery in the same place in the 1901 census. She and her sister were teachers. Elizabeth was born in Sneem in 1870 and the Lavery parents were also teachers.
Why can't I find the marriage record of Daniel and Elizabeth at Family Search? And when and where was their son Denis born? Or is Daniel Joseph really Denis?
And who were Daniel and Denis in the 1870's, born to John Collins and Mary Houlihan? Are they somehow related?
