To scenery like the outside The thing which I wanted to realize here is the scenery which lives in a garden. Cafe that can enjoy one's meal slowly by space like the outside. For instance, big window that passes by butterfly and bird and comes off, ground where flower blooms inside and outside, skylight makes a sunny place, Sunlight trickling through the leaves is reflected in shirt of person who sat on the chair, laughter is heard in the room like the outside.

Tony Iommi is Writing New Music While Fighting Cancer
Black Sabbath bassist Geezer Butler says Tony Iommi is inspiring the rest of the band to work harder as they rehearse new songs for their upcoming album. The guitarist has already written two songs since being diagnosed with lymphoma earlier this month.
"I must say it has given us all a kick up the rump," Butler said in a post at his website. "It's great to hear him churning out those riffs again, assuaging the Demon C. Takes more than that to stop Tony." Yesterday (Jan. 19) the band returned to work on the project, their first with Ozzy Osbourne since in 33 years.
"Can't wait for you all to hear our workings, it has been great working on this stuff."
The 63-year-old metal legend is working with doctors to treat the lymphoma, but Butler says Iommi's spirits are high. The disease was caught in the early stages, but treatment could push back plans for a summer tour in advance of the Fall 2012 release. Yesterday it was announced they would still play England's Download Festival on June 10.
"I want to thank the lovely encouraging emails sent to this site giving Tony love and encouragement and great vibes," Butler adds in the post." It really does help, not only Tony, but us as a band- it raises up our spirits and restores our faith in this tarnished world."
"Sabb fans are good people, time and again you have proven your faith in us and boosted our endeavour."

MURPHYS - It was Nick Colbert's first time in Murphys, and like many, he had come in search of wine.
MURPHYS - It was Nick Colbert's first time in Murphys, and like many, he had come in search of wine.
But after sampling some of Main Street's finest - pinot noirs and merlots, chardonnays and zinfandels - the Turlock man and his friend found something a little unexpected.
They came to Murphy's Mead, a tasting room operated by Suzanne and Jim Burens that specializes in wine made from honey rather than grapes.
"A lot of the grape wines start to taste the same after awhile," Colbert said. "This is our first time trying meads."
The fermentation process for mead is somewhat more complex than with grape wines, and the Burens said they enjoy experimenting with flavors.
"I think it's somewhat like when you're a photographer: You take a lot of pictures, and you hope that a couple of them turn out well," Jim said.
"The creativity is only limited by your own imagination," his wife added.
One of her creations, for example, is called Ambrosia and is based on a family recipe for ambrosia fruit salad.
"It's so nostalgic," Suzanne said. "I think every time I sell a bottle, my mother smiles somewhere."
There's one drink infused with pear, and another reminiscent of a pi�a colada.
The couple makes their mead in the cellar of a 98-year-old church, which also houses their main store, Angels Flight Winery, near Sonora. The Murphys tasting room, with large windows and Irish decor, opened last year.
The Burens have been married for 26 years and moved to the area from Los Olivos, in Santa Barbara County. "Supposedly to make our life simpler," Suzanne explained of the move, "but we've been plenty busy since we got here."
After working his way through the tasting menu, Colbert ended up buying a bottle of Habby Shooter, infused with passion fruit and haba�ero. "It leaves you with a little kick in the back of your throat," he said.
And the conversation was enjoyable, to boot.
"It's rare that you actually get to talk to the people that are making the product that you're going to be drinking," Colbert said.

DNC in Charlotte, N.C.
Opening night at the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, North Carolina, revealed a strikingly diverse audience of delegates, activists and guests cheering even for the earliest speakers of the evening. Leading up to the night's scheduled main event -- a speech by First Lady Michelle Obama -- the speaker lineup was filled with women (including former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi), Latinos (including Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro, the convention's keynote speaker) and Indian-American actor (and former White House staffer) Kal Penn.

It seems that we have been down this road before...... The short data burst is not paging. The 'squawk' that seems to be at the end of the 'offenders' individual transmissions in the first part of the clip is recognizable to me. It is 1200 baud, and from the sound/duration it is Motorola MDC1200 coding. The MDC1200 is used for ID and status on public safety and other systems. Several hams in my area have taken to using the Motorola radios with the MDC1200 system to ID and contact each other (selective calling, status, emergency, etc.). It is not likely that it would give us much info to go on, if we could decode it. The MDC 1200 system uses hex number data, it is not ASCII. The data, when decoded on another radio will be a 4 digit number. There is a short write up (and sound samples) on: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MDC-1200 Another possibility is that someone has established a simplex Echolink system on the uplink. That may be why some have reported a CW id, and the carrier hanging on for longer than a normal simplex transmission. Perhaps someone with AMSAT could contact the ARRL Official Observer coordinator. They have been known to send out requests for the OO corps to listen for specific interference problems. This might be important enough to get all ears listening. I don't hear it here. 73 Ernie W8EH Bruce Robertson wrote: > Once I started hearing this QRM while listening to AO-27, I recorded the > tail-end of the 20:00Z pass.

Boekenhoutskloof The Wolftrap 2009 is a rich, deep red blend that has been French oak matured. The blend includes 65% Syrah, 32% Mourvèdre, and 3% Viognier.
It is a very fragrant, spicy wine with notes of raspberry, cherry and mulberry. This one kind of grew on me. I wasn't too sure about it at first, but after the first few sips, I found it to be quite smooth…a nice combination of fruity sweetness with a peppery finish. Very affordable too. Around $11.
The Wolftrap is a wine from Boekenhoutskloof Winery in the Franschhoek region of South Africa. The name is a tribute to the pioneers, who in the early days of the Cape of Good Hope, erected a wolf trap, falsely believing that wolves inhabited the area. To date, no wolf – either real or mystical – has been seen in the valley.
This same winery makes one called The Chocolate Block. Great juice!

Browns QB Hoyer's season ended by knee injury
CLEVELAND (AP) — Brian Hoyer's story, seemingly pulled from a Disney movie script, took a cruel turn.
The Cleveland quarterback's season is over.
A lifelong Browns fan living out his boyhood dream by starting for his hometown team, Hoyer tore a knee ligament while running for a first down Thursday night against Buffalo and will miss the remainder of this season.
It's a devastating blow for Hoyer, who had waited five years — three as Tom Brady's backup in New England — to become an NFL starter and led the Browns to wins over Minnesota and Cincinnati while replacing an injured Brandon Weeden.
"This is disappointing," Browns coach Rob Chudzinski said Friday on a conference call. "It's an unfortunate thing."
Chudzinski said an MRI taken Friday showed Hoyer tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee. He will undergo surgery, ending his feel-good story after just three starts and with the Browns (3-2) rolling. Chudzinski said there is no other damage in Hoyer's knee, which got caught in the turf at FirstEnergy as he slid and was hit by Bills rookie linebacker Kiko Alonso.
The usual recovery time is nine months to one year, but for Hoyer the injury stole a chance to prove to Cleveland's front office he could be their franchise quarterback.
Chudzinski said he spoke with Hoyer after getting the medical results.
"It's hard on him," said Chudzinski. "Obviously he's disappointed, but if you know him and you know how positive he is and the type of person he is. He's already thinking about when he's going to be back. I reassured him that as well. I wanted to let him know how much he meant to us and what he did. But he'll be back. He'll make it back. He's that type of guy.
"He's the kind of guy you don't doubt."
Chudzinski said there are no immediate plans to sign another quarterback and Weeden will return as Cleveland's starter.
Signed by Cleveland as a free agent in May, Hoyer, released by New England, Pittsburgh and Arizona in the past year, began the season as Cleveland's No. 3 quarterback. With Weeden out recovering from a sprained thumb, Hoyer made just his second NFL start in Week 3 and led the Browns to consecutive wins, directing clutch fourth-quarter drives and throwing clinching touchdown passes in both games.
"He did a great job and he was a big reason why we won those games, but not the only reason," Chudzinski said, professing the "next-man up" mantra all NFL coaches maintain because of injuries.
With the Browns trailing 7-0, Hoyer, flushed from the pocket, took off up field. He had just passed the first-down marker and was sliding when he took a blow near the helmet from Alonso in front of Cleveland's sideline. Several Browns coaches and players screamed for a penalty as Hoyer lay face down in the grass.
Chudzinski wouldn't say if he thought Alonso should have been given a personal foul.
"If it was close," he said, "I don't think there was any intention there."
With Hoyer out, Weeden, who returned from injury only to be demoted to a backup role, has his starting job back.
Weeden replaced Hoyer against the Bills, and following a slow start — some Browns fans booed his first few incompletions— he rallied Cleveland to its third straight win. Weeden threw a 37-yard TD pass to wide receiver Josh Gordon in the third quarter and finished 13 of 24 for 197 yards.
"The guys rallied around him," Chudzinski said. "It was a gutsy performance, and it wasn't always pretty. I think he was still a little bit rusty, but he got the job done and he was able to help us win that game. There were some ups and downs, but he was resilient and was able to make some big plays."
Weeden was only cleared to play earlier in the week after he threw in Wednesday's practice. Chudzinski decided to have him as the Browns' No. 2 quarterback and made Jason Campbell inactive against the Bills.
Following the game, Weeden said he never lost faith despite being injured and dropping behind Hoyer on the depth chart.
"I knew I couldn't, because regardless if I was the starter or not, eyes are on you," he said. "So I was upbeat the entire time, never let it bother me. It kind of lit a fire in me. I still needed to prepare, still needed to watch tape at night just in case something unfortunate happens."
NOTES: Chudzinski said DE Desmond Bryant is "fine" after being kept overnight as a precaution at the Cleveland Clinic. Bryant was removed from the game with shortness of breath and an irregular heartbeat. Chudzinski expects Bryant to play next week against Detroit. Bryant had a similar problem last season with Oakland but played in the next game. ... Chudzinski said FB Chris Ogbonnaya is going through the league's concussion protocol program after taking a helmet-to-helmet hit.

I'm wondering if there's a setting/preference I haven't found yet that would allow me to change the behavior of Cmd+F.
In ST2, Cmd+F acts as a toggle for the Find UI. In most other editors I've used, when the FInd UI is already open, Cmd+F doesn't hide Find, it re-focuses it and selects the entire value so you can overtype and begin searching for something else. This is the default behavior in TextMate and Coda, for example.
So, in ST2, I frequently invoke find, type something, hit cmd+F again, expecting to search for another term, but I've actually hidden Find and now I'm screwing up my file..
I found this in the default .sublime.keymap...
{ "keys": "super+f"], "command": "show_panel", "args": {"panel": "find"} },
...but I'm not sure how I can tweak that to get what I want. I'll go look on the wiki now, but thought I'd ask here first in case it's quicker. Thanks.
I don't know if the "toggle" parameter works for all panels, but you can try:
{ "keys": "ctrl+backquote"], "command": "show_panel", "args": {"panel": "console", "toggle": true} },
Thanks. Doesn't work for find, apparently.
Wait, don't you want it to not toggle? What happens if you set toggle to false?I'd try it but apparently when I press cmd+f the find panel does exactly what you want: it refocuses. Not sure what I'm doing different.
I actually tried both true and false.
Build 2126?
True, dev build 2133 works as you describe.
Ah, that must be it then. I can't resist those cutting-edge dev builds!
Not sure exactly which build this was introduced in. The behaviour in 2133 is much improved, but still not quite there for me.
I'd like to be able to hit Cmd-F, type an initial string, Cmd-F, type another string. Currently the second string is just typed after the first string because the initial string is not selected with the second press of Cmd-F.
It works fine if you hit Cmd-F, do something in the buffer, then hit Cmd-F again, but not very well for multiple quick searches.
I'd like this too.
Fixed in 2134!

I think professionals in the photo industry who take cheap shots at Rockwell would be better off reading all of his blog posts since he started and continue to follow him. Maybe they could learn something that might make them as successful.
I have no intention or need to read all of Ken's blog posts, the one I did was filled with errors and misunderstandings of color, something I do know a bit about. The article is technically wrong in a number of areas! (http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/adobe-rgb.htm). Those who read it and believe what Ken writes is even close to technically correct are getting piss-poor information if I can be so kind to call what we wrote informational.
It's the cheap shots that bothers me. Professionals should respect other professionals. There's a way to disagree with another professional without resorting to name calling.
... If someone respects Ken then others will wonder about the credentials of the person respecting him?
Does the sum of his good points outweigh his bad ones?...
Quote Sloboban post #69.Otherwise, I do not care. I cherry-pick. Enjoy the good points, disregard the weak onesUnquote.Slobodan you are an experienced photographer and poster on here. You know the good from the weak but less experienced photographers looking for information will struggle. Everybody is entitled to an opinion if it is an honest one not designed to deceive. That is the problem I see.
People stuck on pixel peeping don't get him.
IOW, smart(ER) better informed people who understand pixels, how they are created, how they affect image quality don't get Ken. People who are uneducated on such topics get him. That what he writes is often technically ridiculous doesn't matter. Less informed people need less of Ken because they are unable to separate fact from folly. But that's OK with you because it doesn't matter what the 'teacher' is saying, you should accept it as fact even when someone points out the fallacy, (they are just stuck up on peeping at pixels despite the factuality of their information). Is that really your stance? You never did seem to reply to my question to you about peer preview. So ignorance is bliss, or stupid is as stupid does. I pity the poor uninformed masses that follow Ken and don't get his 'humor'. No wonder the web is filled with people who argue with intensity that all displays output 72ppi, anything other than sRGB is a mistake or it's the standard of all color spaces, all pro's only shoot with prime lens, all images for output should be at 300ppi etc.
Ken R has the standpoint that good enough is good enough, and I think frequently this is the case.
Yup. You really don't want me to buy your stuff.

In Memoriam
PORTER Reverend Thomas
July 12, 1956-December 14, 1999
It's hard to believe one year has passed since Reverend Thomas PORTER lost his courageous battle with cancer. We are indebted to many people who supported us during Tom's illness, death and these subsequent months.
The enduring love of our families who stood with us was invaluable.
We are grateful for the compassion and honesty of Doctor BENEDICT, Doctor STADNYK and Doctor JEEVES who helped us face each new day as it came. The medical staff at Mindemoya Hospital who cared for Tom and us with tenderness, will always be remembered.
Spring Bay Pentecostal Church suffered a loss as well, losing a pastor, and we are thankful to Reverend Frank HANER who capably ministered in Tom's place. The church family who prayed for us and looked after our physical needs hold a special place in our hearts.
We are grateful for the kindness and understanding we received from Principal Everett EADIE and staff of Central Manitoulin Public School and also Principal Roy EATON and staff of Manitoulin Secondary School.
We wish to extend our sincere thanks to the Manitoulin Ministerial for their thoughtfulness and prayer. To Ted and Barb CULGIN who led us so compassionately through such a painful time, we appreciate you.
Thank you to our Friends and neighbours both in Spring Bay and Mindemoya who have helped and cared for us so admirably over the past year. Above all, we are grateful to God who has proven Himself faithful to us each day. We miss Tom, a husband and Dad, immensely, but we look forward to seeing him again some day.
Sincerely, Karen, Darla and Angela

The France international made the £12 million switch from Lyon on transfer deadline day in the summer but played second fiddle to Brad Friedel initially, however, he feels that the experience has made him stronger.
"You need mental strength when you are involved in high-level sport," he told The Times. "These are situations you have to cope with. You have to keep positive.
"It's true that I didn't play in the Premier League, but I was playing in the Europa League so I had to focus on that and on doing my job.
"I had to be patient, but I wanted to play and to claim the goalkeeping position as mine.
|Spurs are 9/1 to draw 0-0 Stoke with bet365
"But the manager makes his own decisions, even though it wasn't really what I expected. But it is part of an experience. The important thing was to come out the other side feeling stronger."
Despite conceding five against bitter rivals Arsenal in the north London derby, as well as making errors against Norwich and Maribor in the Capital One Cup and Europa League, Lloris is working hard to eradicate self-doubt and has indeed let just three goals past him in the last five league games.
"When you are on the pitch, you give everything you have to give and try to make as few mistakes as possible," he explained. "But when the situation is not very clear, doubts may well begin to creep in.
"That is something you have to avoid. You have to focus on your own game. The best way to help the team is to concentrate on your own work."
The Europa League draw on Thursday saw Tottenham paired with Lloris' former side Lyon and, speaking before the draw, the Frenchman explained his decision to leave the Ligue 1 club.
He added: "There are certain characteristics, such as crosses, high balls, duels on the pitch and fighting spirit which are part of English football. Here it is faster, with higher intensity.
"I needed to move on to the next stage in my career. Coming to Tottenham was a great opportunity for me. During my time at Lyon I developed as a man and a sportsman into what I am today."

Trade Regionalism in the Asia-Pacific: New Game, Old Rules?
Editor's Note: This blog draws on the forthcoming article "New Trade Regionalism in Asia: Looking Past the Sino-American Great Game," written by Swarnim Wagle, to be published in the Global Emerging Voices 2013 Working Papers.
Negotiations over one of history's most ambitious trade deals have taken another step towards defining the future of Trans-Pacific trade.
The latest round of discussions on the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) wrapped up this past weekend in Salt Lake City, Utah. Negotiators are believed to have made headway on a number of thorny issues, clearing the way for ministerial talks to be held in Singapore, Dec. 7-10.
The TPP will draw together 12 countries dotting the perimeter of the Pacific—Australia, Brunei, Chile, Canada, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, and Vietnam. But it's the United States' efforts to spearhead the talks that have attracted the most attention. Concerns over a lack of transparency and the intrusive scope of the agreements' provisions into national policymaking have led many to question its objective.

AMSTERDAM (AP) — Amsterdam plans to raise the minimum age for prostitutes from 18 to 21 and force brothels to close during early morning hours.
At a press conference Tuesday, mayor Eberhard van der Laan said the moves came from a decision to crack down on crime in the city's famed Red Light District and protect sex workers — mostly women — from abuse.
Amsterdam is home to about 8,000 professional sex workers, the city estimates, half of them who operate behind windows with red velvet curtains and red lights. Van der Laan said under the new regime, all windows would be closed from 4 a.m. to 9 a.m.
Prostitution was legalized in the Netherlands in 2000. It has been tolerated in Amsterdam since the 1600s, when the spice trade made it one of the world's wealthiest port cities. But the city has been tightening its rules since 2006 and shuttered a third of its brothel windows from 2007 to 2009.
Van der Laan said the city intends to introduce the new measures by July.
"We think the situation is so grave that we have to act," he told reporters.
He said young prostitutes were particularly vulnerable because they were often groomed by pimps who force them into service when they turn 18. He said the city's first priority was to keep women from being pushed into prostitution and its second was to help those who wish to exit the profession.
Other measures he plans to introduce include forcing all brothel owners to submit a business plan.
The Dutch tolerance of prostitution has always been a subject of debate, and after it was legalized, city officials realized that move had not served to reduce abuses. A proposed new national law would create a database of registered prostitutes, but it has never been passed by Parliament.
Dutch officials are now studying Sweden's prostitution laws as a possible model. Swedish law criminalizes only visiting prostitutes and does not punish the prostitutes themselves.

MADISON, Wis.—As the East Coast deals with a massive snowstorm, Wisconsinites who embrace winter sports are grateful for just enough snow to enjoy the outdoors.
State tourism officials say many areas of the state have good or excellent conditions for skiing, sledding, snowboarding and snowmobiling. The recent snowfall this week added inches to trails and sledding hills.
The Department of Natural Resources says snowmobile trails are groomed and in good to excellent condition across northern counties and through much of central Wisconsin. Trails are good to poor father south.
The big event of the week is the opening of the 2013 sturgeon spearing season which opens Saturday morning on Lake Winnebago, Lake Butte des Morts (BYOO'-deh-mohr) and Lake Poygan. The season runs for 16 days, or until harvest caps are reached.

House passes Joshua's Law against domestic violence
By GARRY RAYNO
State House Bureau
Joshua Savyon, 9, attended Wilkins Elementary in Amherst, where the school superintendent said staff and students knew him as "a gentle and happy child." (COURTESY)
CONCORD — A bill named after a 9-year-old boy shot and killed by his father at a Manchester visitation center passed the House on a 325-3 vote and is now headed to the governor, who said she will sign it.
Joshua's Law would not change current law or enhance penalties but would gather existing laws under one section of the criminal code.
Gov. Maggie Hassan praised Wednesday's House vote.
"By taking this important step, we will help law enforcement and prosecutors better identify and stop repeat abusers, while providing victims with access to support and protections as early as possible," Hassan said. "Although we will never be able to relieve the pain caused by the tragic murder of Joshua Savyon, enacting this bill in his memory will help countless families and communities."
Joshua was killed by his father, Muni Savyon, last August.
Hassan praised Joshua's mother, Becky Ranes of Amherst, for helping move the bill through the Legislature.
Under current law, someone who assaults or threatens a domestic partner or family member is usually charged under one of 17 state statutes that include such crimes as simple assault, criminal threatening, kidnapping or stalking.
SB 318 enables law enforcement and prosecutors to charge a suspect with domestic violence, which would be treated differently than an assault by a stranger.
Deputy Attorney General Ann Rice, who testified in favor of the bill in both the House and Senate, has said the change would improve the accuracy of state records in domestic violence cases, which in turn would improve the likelihood that such cases would be properly adjudicated and reported to federal authorities.
Speaking in favor of the bill on the House floor, Rep. Shannon Chandley, D-Amherst, called the legislation the most critical and comprehensive update to the state's domestic violence statutes since the 1990s.
Because the state does not have a crime of domestic violence, she said, chronic abusers go unrecognized.
"Fifty percent of homicides and 92 percent of murder-suicide cases are domestic-violence related," Chandley said. "These numbers are unacceptable and we need to act now to combat domestic violence."
She said the bill will also allow law enforcement to capture domestic violence statistics and lead to better monitoring and earlier intervention.
"Domestic violence is a crime mostly suffered in silence behind closed doors and almost always escalates," said Chandley. "It is time to call domestic violence what it is."
A related bill, Senate Bill 205 was also approved by the House Wednesday on a 275-23 vote.
The bill allows judges to order that if there is a history or the possibility of abuse, visitation only take place in a facility equipped with a metal detector. The bill also establishes a commission to review the availability of centers with metal detectors and looks to expand the number throughout the state.
Metal detectors could be required at supervised visitation centers such as the YWCA in Manchester where Joshua Savyon was killed.
The bill goes back to the Senate because of changes the House made.

My thoughts have turned to food as inspiration for soap, but not your usual Christmas fare. Living in a country that celebrates Christmas in Summer we tend to eat salads and cold compilations at Christmas time. Why did I start craving fudge? I have been eating sugar free since February so that may have something to do with it. I have found several wonderful blogs dedicated to healthy eating and discovered that you can make sweetly indulgent treats without sugar, and fudge has been enticing me for a while now.
This craving has transferred to my soaping creations, so please welcome my new range ~ Delightful Fudge Soaps. These soaps have moisturising olive oil and creamy cocoa butter with luxurious colloidal oatmeal added too.
Raspberry Fudge soap ~ scented with a black raspberry and vanilla fragrance
Honey Fudge soap ~ scented with a honey and vanilla scent
And Vanilla Fudge soap ~ scented with a rich dessert vanilla in the brown and a sweet milky vanilla in the white
Are you feeling hungry yet? *grin*

Just in time for New York Fashion Week, a new parody video from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals about the use of exotic skins on the runway. In a reversal of roles, foxes, antelopes, and seals strut on the catwalk in grisly outfits derived from human parts, while naked people, surrounded by bloody carcasses and body parts, are confined to cages backstage. The camera homes in on a young Chinese girl, the only caged human clearly visible, as she quivers from cold and fear. It's somewhat of a "gotcha" moment, all the more shocking because of the whimsical atmosphere that precedes it.
The three-minute clip is the product of Ogilvy & Mather, one of the world's top advertising agencies, at its Beijing office. China, according to PETA spokeswoman Shakira Croce is the group's "number-one target for its lack of animal-protection penalties, despite its massive production of leather and fur."
The video is designed to provoke debate without targeting a specific brand or drawing the ire of Chinese officials.
The video is designed to provoke debate without targeting a specific brand or drawing the ire of Chinese officials.
Because of the Asian nation's restrictions on freedom of speech, Ogilvy & Mather designed the short to provoke debate among young consumers without targeting a specific brand or drawing the ire of trade officials, Croce tells Ecouterre. "Our ad doesn't finger any particular country or even just fur but rather challenges the entire concept of killing animals and wearing their skins," she adds.
This isn't the first time PETA's timed a public service announcement with New York Fashion Week. In 2012, the organization planned to run a video of Stella McCartney, explaining why she doesn't use fur or leather, on taxi screens across Manhattan. VeriFone Media, which manages advertising and media programming in nearly 12,000 of the city's yellow cabs, however, rejected the spot.

Just three hours south of Tokyo, on the southern coast of Japan's Izu Peninsula, visitors will find sunny Shimoda City. Although the city is home to just 25,000 residents, Shimoda has become very popular with Japanese travelers, who revere the area for its pristine beaches, its high-quality hot springs resorts and its surfing. Despite the high volume of annual visitors, the area retains a small-town charm, with cobbled pedestrian pathways and annual re-enactments of key moments in the city's dramatic history.
History of Shimoda City
For most of its ancient history, Shimoda City was a sleepy fishing village — but when the Tokugawa ruled Japan during the country's Edo Period (1603-1868), the city's strategic location between Tokyo (Edo) and Osaka catapulted it into service as a popular seaport.
The city's claim to fame, however, occurred in 1854, when it became the key player in Japan's hotly contested debate on whether or not to abandon its national isolation policy after U.S. Commodore Matthew C. Perry demanded that Japan open to foreigners. On March 31, 1854, the Japan-U.S. Treaty of Peace and Amity was signed in Shimoda, which became the first Japanese port to open to Americans.
On that day, Commodore Perry sailed seven enormous Black Ship vessels into Shimoda Bay. The massive vessels were unlike any the Japanese had ever seen, and the largest was some 24 times heavier than any ship the Japanese had ever constructed.
Seven Attractions to Visit in Shimoda City
Ryosenji TempleOriginally founded in 1635, Ryosenji was the site of negotiations leading up to the signing of the U.S. Treaty of Peace and Amity. Today, the temple bears the nickname "the Hall of the Opening of the Nation." The temple houses nearly 3,000 Black Ship artifacts, as well as a varied and colorful collection of Japanese and Western maps, texts and paintings depicting the cultural differences between the Americans and Japanese.
Every May, Shimoda opens its doors to costumed Samurai warriors and 19th century merchants, as locals and visitors dress the part for the annual Shimoda Black Ship Festival, hosted by the temple.www.izu.co.jp/~ryosenji/eigo.html
Hofukuji TempleThe tragic side of early U.S.-Japan relations is chronicled at Hofukuji Temple, which is the final burial site of Tojin Okichi. At 17 years old, Okichi was pressured to serve as a maid to Townsend Harris, America's first consul to Japan (and the first American to live in the country).
Stories of exactly which services Okichi were required to provide vary, but she became largely shunned by the local community after Harris left the country. Eventually, she turned to alcohol and ultimately ended her own life by jumping in the river. Although there are multiple versions of Okichi's life story, she is legendary among the Japanese people, and her life is the subject of much poetry, manga and even movie plots.
Gyokusenji TempleGyokusenji Temple became the site of the first U.S. Consulate in Japan after Townsend Harris was assigned here. Reportedly, part of Townsend's agreement was that he be provided milk and beef, something never before heard of by the Japanese people. Today, the temple contains a memorial with an image of a cow, the first of its species to be slaughtered for human consumption in Japan.
Shimoda Shiroyama ParkEven if history isn't your thing, a peaceful walk along picturesque Perry Road will lead to Shimoda Shiroyama Park, which is home to several winding pathways and an observation platform that features stunning views of the port area and Shimoda's beaches. In summer, the park is home to millions of hydrangeas, camellias and azaleas.
Shimoda City BeachesWhile history has its place in Shimoda, Japanese visitors are largely drawn to the area because of the city's beautiful beaches. The Japanese Environment Agency added Shimoda's Shirahama Chuo Beach and Sotoura Beach to its list of Top 100 Japanese Beaches, a list which requires the beach maintain a track record of "AA" water quality for at least two out of three years.
Getting to Shimoda CityThe limited-express Super View Odoriko, operated by JR East Japan Railway Company, runs along the Izu Peninsula between Shimoda City and Tokyo. The entire ride from popular Shinjuku Station in Tokyo takes less than three hours.
As the name suggests, the Super View Odoriko was designed to maximize views during the train's scenic journey, and each train car features raised floors and large windows to increase passenger enjoyment.www.jreast.co.jp/e/routemaps/superviewodoriko.html

Motorhead ended its set the same way as it did the previous week of the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival with guitarist Slash again joining the group for "Ace of Spades."
The former Guns N' Roses guitarist came out wearing his familiar top hat and skilled guitar skills to delight the fans inside the tent while playing next to frontman Lemmy Kilmister and lead guitaristPhil "Wizzö" Campbell.
Toward the end of the set, Kilmister told fans: "Don't forget us now. We are (expletive) Motorhead. And we play rock 'n' roll."
The crowd inside the Mojave tent for the Sunday night set appeared to be larger and more energetic as mosh pits commenced during the performance.
The group performed songs like "Just 'Cos You Got The Power" and "Going to Brazil" and at one point an unnamed man came on stage to play guitar and Kilmister said "that's my boy."
Rusch Garhart, 25, of Orange said he enjoyed the early part of the set so much he decided to ditch headliner Arcade Fire to watch.
"Ten minutes in they played something that really brought it down," Garhart said, and he decided to stay.
His patience was rewarded when Slash came out.
"I love Slash," Garhart said.

Even if the game is hard to describe according to Sony, they have announced the release date for the PSN downloadable game as February 12th.
Playing as the wind, the player guides and grows a swarm of pedals by interacting with other flowers and the surrounding environment. The goals and journey in each level vary, but all involve flight, exploration and interaction with the level. Using simple SIXAXIS wireless controls, the player guides the lead petal and accumulates a swarm of flower petals as he moves at his own pace within the environment, causing the on-screen world to change. Flower's gameplay offers different experiences, pacing and rhythm to all players. Along the way, the environment will pose challenges to the player's progress.
- Simple Gameplay Controls – Accessible controls appeal to both the casual and hardcore gamer and offer simplistic and relaxing gaming. Freely playing as the wind is as easy as titling the SIXAXIS wireless controller.
- Lush and Interactive Environment on PS3 – In Flower, over 200,000 blades of grass are simulated and animated simultaneously on-screen, creating an verdant environment not possible on any other platform.
- Dynamically Adjusting Experience – Players with differing skill levels and/or moods can intuitively customize their game experience and enjoy the game at their own pace.

First episode was interesting. I thought the humor was decent. It's writing wasn't top tier, but still enjoyable.
The ED song was pretty good. Also, the animation was definitely unique and really helped the show.
Overall: I'll keep watching it.
This was a lot more entertaining than it should be.
LMAO....at the boys poor attempt to peep in on nurses who weren't around. I like the batshit MC and the smart one who kept taking his shirt off.
Hello Lamp. Hello Pants
ep 2
something something glasses wrestling battle
What even
DROPPED. I tried really hard to focus on episode 2 but it didn't work. The humor just isn't getting to me and this show isn't my type anyways.
Animanga hunter extraordinaire
I don't even know who their target audience is. The premise seemed to be aimed at women but the first episode was all about trying to sexually harass women? It's like they're trying to make it relatable for guys despite being obviously female-targeted and it just comes out like this giant piece of crap.
still no clue what this shit means but keep going
Guest Pass Litter Moderator
As I said elsethread, this is not my kind of stupid. Dropped.
Actually no longer a moderator
I feel like I have lost IQ points after seeing Episode 2. (Sekatsuyo failed to accomplish that, which ought to tell you something.) As promised, dropping. I do like the visual style of the show (e.g. the Bad Luck Truck ™), but what the Hell is it trying to do? Either I just don't get it, or it's just freakin' dumb.
EDIT: Back into the box with you, boys.
Goblin Slayer has nothing on '80s anime when it comes to hard content, folks.
I'll give it a few more episodes to see where this goes.....but yeah...not sure where we're going here. This might've worked better as a five -fifteen minute series.
I was quite amused though to see the hot one actually turn out to be a clutz
Hello Lamp. Hello Pants
If I didn't know any better, I'd have thought SHAFT was behind this. Decent show so far. I'm certainly interested, but not sure if there's anything interesting. I'm interested in whether it's interesting. We'll see, I guess.
I have to agree with it would be better suited for shorter episodes.
I didn't laugh as much with this episode as the last one, but it was kind of cute to see Yukiya's background.
Anyway, hope the stupid antics from ep. 1 return next ep.
i am to be your eyes
Lol...i remember i tried to watch the first ep. last week. I got to about 8 min. and rage quit so...yeah
Did he just walk up...slowly...and ban me? @GoldTStar117
This series is randomly stupid and NOT meant to be taken seriously at all. Its interesting in its own way but I'm sure someone will enjoy the series much more than me.
My reaction to episode one.
I wonder if anyone that wears glasses watched this video.
Usagi: Warrior of the Rabbit. Killing Psychotically.
I pulled a Yowapeda here, meaning that I decided to un-drop this show and give it another chance. Seems to have been a good idea. Episode 3 was fun, and I am starting to accept the absurdity that makes the show tick. (That, and it is a genuinely great source of material for the /AMP/ thread.)
Goblin Slayer has nothing on '80s anime when it comes to hard content, folks.
ep 3
sad but good end to say the least
What even
I remember fans anticipating to watch Meganebu! because of Free! and then episode 1 came out and all they could say was WTF IS THIS!? I(as a girl) didn't really mind for some reason. Probably because I wanted people to stop complaining about everyone being "homo." The guys trying despiratly to see through a nurse's(who never even existed) clothes is what makes me go "At least we know the guys are straight!". At the same time it wasn't the fact that they wanted to see through a woman's clothes so badly. they just wanted their club to be acknowledged and since they're in an all boys high school, theres teenage people who are all guys. I guess x-ray glasses would seem logical somehow T__T.
The second episode was a bit in between "trying too hard to make the characters likable" and "making me realte to some characters." I actually felt sorry for Hayato because I know what it's like to be singled out because you lack a certain quality. Yet being the idiot he is, he's bascially being manipulated and everyone else is acting like this is totally normal. But guess what Hayato? All you needed to do is read in the dark and blur out your vision so you can get real glasses.
Episode 3 was GAAAAAAY//shot. Kidding kidding!! Okay I'll admit episode 3 wasn't that bad either. I don't know what to say without somehow offending either the ones who enjoy Meganebu! and the ones who aren't.
So far I enjoyed each episode equally. I I hope this show wont be taken too seriously but the one thing that bothered me the most were the;
background characters!!!
I mean they're so well detailed it's impossible to tell them apart from the main characters!!

Man who kidnapped 2 Iowa girls had long record
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — When Michael Klunder enticed two girls to enter his pickup truck near a rural Iowa school bus stop Monday, it was at least his third kidnapping in a long criminal history in which he was ordered to receive sex offender treatment starting as a teenager.
While authorities searched Wednesday for the still missing 15-year-old, residents and some law enforcement officials questioned why the 42-year-old Klunder wasn't locked up in prison or for treatment. In 1991, Klunder kidnapped a 21-year-old woman, who escaped, and later two 3-year-old girls, who were found alive in a garbage bin.
"It's unfortunate, looking at this guy's history, that he was able to walk the streets," said Bremer County Sheriff Dan Pickett.
Authorities say Klunder committed suicide Monday, hours after he took 15-year-old Kathlynn Shepard and a 12-year-old friend in Dayton, a town of about 850 that is 60 miles north of Des Moines. Police released a picture Wednesday showing Kathlynn exiting her school bus minutes before the abduction, wearing a Chicago Cubs hat.
Police say Klunder took the girls to a hog confinement building several miles away. The 12-year-old managed to escape. Klunder was found dead of self-inflicted injuries at another rural property.
Searchers recovered the girls' backpacks Tuesday several miles south of the hog building, police said.
"To see so much love in our community and the surrounding areas is amazing. Thank you for all of your prayers and we hope to have Kathlynn home soon," Kathlynn's family said in a statement.
More than 100 volunteers and police officers, some with dogs, searched fields, ditches and farms in a largely agricultural, wooded and uninhabited 20-square mile radius around Dayton. Officers in boats searched the nearby Des Moines River while investigators asked hunters who have still and video cameras in the area to check their recorders for any clues.
Investigators say they are also looking into whether Klunder could be linked to the slayings of two cousins, ages 8 and 10, who vanished last summer while riding bikes in Evansdale. In the 1980s, he lived at a residential treatment center for emotionally troubled children in Bremer County, where the cousins' bodies were found in December.
"We know he's a creep. The only thing good about him being found dead is there is no more victims," said Cerro Gordo County Sheriff Kevin Pals.
Klunder was released from the prison system in 2011, after serving less than half of a 41-year sentence he received in the two kidnapping cases in 1992. Iowa law gives inmates credit for an additional 1.2 days for every day they serve.
Department of Corrections spokesman Fred Scaletta said officials declined to seek his confinement for treatment when his prison term expired because they didn't have enough evidence for a court to declare him a sexually violent predator. He said Klunder successfully completed a sex offender treatment program and did not show any "signs that there could potentially be further problems."
Once released, Klunder attended a semester at a community college, married 33-year-old Lisa Flygstad in Florida last year, and recently bought a house with her in Stratford, records show. He worked at agricultural businesses in the area.
Klunder, 6 feet 6 inches tall and 240 pounds, had to periodically check in with authorities as a registered sex offender. But because he was never convicted of sexually abusing a minor and was considered a second-tier offender, he did not face any restrictions on where he could live and faced less frequent monitoring.
After he turned 18 in 1989, Klunder was sentenced for attempted burglary and assault. A judge ordered him to receive sex offender treatment during a prison term of up to five years. He served two years before being released in August 1991.
In December 1991, Klunder flashed his lights to get a 22-year-old woman to pull over on a highway outside Mason City and told her that her taillights weren't working. When she got out, he threw her to the ground, got on top of her and threatened that he had a knife, police say. He wrestled her into his car and turned down a gravel road, where the woman waved out the window for help to an oncoming vehicle. Klunder pushed her out of the vehicle and fled.
The next day, Klunder snatched two 3-year-olds from an apartment complex in Charles City. Klunder was angry at one of the toddlers, who was the daughter of a female acquaintance.
Klunder put the girls into a trunk and drove them to a secluded area in Northwood, about 50 miles away, and left them in a trash bin. A county worker found the girls alive hours later. A doctor later found that one girl had been choked.
"My impression is that he was of somewhat limited capacity. He didn't like how the one little girl behaved," said Floyd County Attorney Norm Klemesrud, adding that Klunder was employed at a workshop for the disabled.
Klunder, arrested days later in Houston, pleaded guilty to third-degree kidnapping and one count of willful injury for abducting the toddlers and was sentenced to 30 years in prison. As part of the plea deal, the Iowa Attorney General's Office dropped first-degree kidnapping charges, which carry life in prison.
While the prosecutor who handled the case has retired, "we suspect (she) felt that there may have been a fighting issue as to whether there was a serious or permanent injury on the child, which was needed for a first-degree kidnapping conviction," spokesman Geoff Greenwood said.
Klunder was sentenced to 11 more years for the kidnapping and assault of the 22-year-old woman.

Electric Motorcycles Return to Sonoma for West Coast Moto Jam
Infineon Raceway set the standard in 2010, hosting the first-ever zero-carbon motorcycle race on American soil at the West Coast Moto Jam.
The Sonoma Valley facility, as part of its new Accelerating Sustainable Performance program, will again bring electric motorcycles to the racetrack with the first round of the TTXGP North American Championship at the West Coast Moto Jam, May 11-15.
There will be racing in two divisions: Formula GP, which was featured in Sonoma in 2010, and the new Formula 75 class, which limits the amount of stored energy to 7.5KwH and the maximum weight to 440 pounds. Practice will take place on Friday and Saturday, with two main events scheduled for Sunday, May 15.
Shawn Higbee took the checkers in last year's historical TTXGP main event in Sonoma, followed by Michael Barnes. Barnes would go on to win every other event on the schedule en route to the 2010 TTXGP North American Championship. Barnes rides for Lightning Motors.
"Our bikes this year will make last year's effort seem like a Sunday afternoon leisurely ride," said Richard Hatfield, Lightning Motors team manager and motorcycle builder.
Mission Motors, based in San Francisco, will make the racing debut of its new factory bike, the Mission R, which features an advanced MissionEVT electric powertrain that packs 14KwH and 141 horsepower. It can reach a top speed of 160 mph in a single gear.
Another team to keep an eye on is Brammo, which won the inaugural TTXGP race at the Isle of Man in 2009. Brammo took the year off in 2010.
"Having taken a year's hiatus, we're anxious and excited to get back into the thick of racing. There's nothing that pushes development of technology quite like racing," said Brian Wismann, director of product development for Brammo.
The TTXGP North American Championship will feature four events in 2011. Following Sonoma, the series visits New Hampshire Motor Speedway (June 17-18), Portland International Raceway (July 16-17) and Virginia International Raceway (Aug. 12-14).
The West Coast Moto Jam will feature five days of two-wheel excitement, headlined by the AMA Pro Road Racing Championship. The weekend will also feature Supermoto USA, flat track and AHRMA National Motocross. For more information about the West Coast Moto Jam or to purchase tickets, call 800-870-RACE (7223) or visit infineonraceway.com/ama.

Historical Note
The Shipley family's association with Maryland began with Adam Shipley's arrival from England in 1668. After serving several years as an indentured servant, Adam began to acquire land on the south side of the Severn River near Annapolis, thus beginning the Shipley family's close identification with this part of the state. During the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, numerous Shipley family farms were located in the fourth and fifth districts of Anne Arundel County.
Five generations after Adam's arrival in the new world, Arthur M. Shipley was born in 1878 to Roderick O. and Wilhelmina Clark Shipley. Arthur graduated from the University of Maryland Medical School in 1902 and served as Chief of Surgical Services for Evacuation Hospital #8 during World War I. After the war, Dr. Shipleyreturned to the University of Maryland as a professor of surgery, eventually retiring in1948. Dr. Shipley died in 1955.
E. (Edgar) Roderick Shipley was born in 1915. His mother, Edna Roberta Shipley, was the sister of Arthur Shipley. E. Roderick's father, Edgar Larkin Shipley, was a son of Larkin Rodolphus Shipley, a brother of Roderick O. Shipley. E. Roderick Shipley's maternal grandfather was Larkin Rodolphus Shipley, whose pickers' checks form a large portion of this collection.
E. Roderick Shipley graduated from the Johns Hopkins University and the University of Maryland with degrees in medicine. He did post-graduate work in surgery at the University of Pennsylvania and became a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons. E. Roderick eventually became a General Surgeon and Associate Professor of Physiology at the University of Maryland School of Dentistry. He was also president of the Anne Arundel County Historical Society and of the Shipleys of Maryland. A Shipley family tree is available in print form. E. Roderick Shipley died in 1984.
Scope and Contents of the Collection
The Shipley Collection consists primarily of artifacts and documents associated with late nineteenth and early twentieth century life in Anne Arundel County and Baltimore, Maryland. The majority of the collection cannot be precisely dated, but dated material ranges from 1901-1975. The principal component of the collection is E. Roderick Shipley's collection of pickers' checks. These artifacts may have been used as early as the 1880s and continued to be used until the 1930s. Documentation associated with this portion of the collection dates as late as 1975. This portion of the collection also contains documents and miscellaneous material associated with the pickers' checks.
During the period from approximately 1880 to 1930, an economic system based on the production of vegetable and fruit crops for sale in nearby urban centers developed in Anne Arundel County. One aspect of this system was the use of tokens by the farmers or landowners to pay seasonal laborers fro harvesting the crops. These tokens, called pickers' checks, were either exchanged for cash at intervals during the course of the season or were directly exchanged for goods at nearby stores. As an interstate system of paved roads developed in the twentieth century, the prices of crops produced in Anne Arundel County became less competitive in comparison to produce grown in other states. Consequently, the use of pickers' checks was entirely discontinued entirely sometime before World War II.
Documentary materials in the collection indicate that the majority of those engaged to pick crops in Anne Arundel County under this system were immigrants of Polish or other Eastern European descent, who lived south of Pratt Street in the Fells Point neighborhood of East Baltimore. Many of these workers were not fluent in English and were recruited and supervised by a rowboss, who acted as an interpreter and facilitator for the less experienced pickers; in many cases, it appears that the rowbosses exploited this system for their own gain. Women, children, or older people who did not hold other jobs in the city comprised most of this work force.
The Shipley collection pickers' checks are artifacts of this relationship between Maryland farmers and seasonal workers in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The documents in the collection interpret this tangible evidence of an economic system that formerly operated in the county. Written both during and after the period in which the checks were used, these notes and articles contain descriptions of the activities with which the checks were associated, recounted from the point of view of the farmers who grew the produce. The ideas and viewpoints of the people who were paid with the checks are not represented in the collection.
The collection also includes historic artifacts other than pickers' checks. These include several farm-related implements, a "magic" lantern with glass slides, buttons, a sleigh bell, and a book stamp. Several are directly associated with the Shipley family, and others are of uncertain or unknown association. In addition, there are several pieces of memorabilia related to Arthur M. Shipley's military service in World War I.
The remaining material in the Shipley Collection consists of ten play bills from the 1901-1902 theater season in Baltimore and 111 photographs. The subjects of the photographs are primarily related to pickers' checks but several images of family members and family homes are also included. Two of these photographs are of probable early twentieth-century origin, and the remainder post-date 1950.
Custodial History and Acquisition Information
The E. Roderick and Arthur M. Shipley Collection was donated to the University of Maryland at College Park Libraries in December 1994 through the estate of E. Roderick Shipley.
Processing Information
Processed by James H. Harmon, June 1995.
The collection was received by the Archives and Manuscripts Department of the University of Maryland at College Park Libraries in December 1994. At that time, the collection was housed in seventeen cardboard boxes. The collection included approximately 180 books on general subjects. Antiquarian books were transferred to the Marylandia and Rare Books Department, and the remainder were placed in the University of Maryland at College Park Libraries general collection. Arthur M. Shipley's medical instruments and books were transferred to Special Collections at the University of Maryland at Baltimore. The remainder of the collection was retained and processed by the Archives and Manuscripts Department.
Following initial assessment, the collection was divided into the series discussed above. The original order of the collection was maintained as nearly as possible throughout processing.
The order of the portion of the pickers' check collection arranged by E. Roderick Shipley was not changed. All of the pickers' checks were placed in non-reactive sleeves for long-term storage, and associated inventory sheets were photocopied onto acid-free paper and placed into the binders. Printed articles and typewritten manuscripts grouped with the pickers' check collection were also photocopied onto acid-free paper and placed into the binders. Photographs in this portion of the collection were removed and replaced with Xerox copies on acid-free paper.
The remainder of the pickers' check collection that was not arranged in binders by E. Roderick Shipley consisted of 2544 loose pickers' checks in a variety of containers. A representative sample of these checks was separated and placed in non-reactive sleeves at the end of the portion of the collection arranged by E. Roderick Shipley. Corroded or damaged checks were separated to prevent damage to stable materials. The remaining loose checks have been placed in acid-free boxes and stored with their associated containers.
All items in Series I and II have been placed in the memorabilia collection. Photographic negatives, prints, and slides were packaged in non-reactive sleeves or other containers and were then transferred to the photograph collection. All newspaper clippings were photocopied onto acid-free paper, and the originals were destroyed.
The playbills that comprise Series III were placed in acid-free folders and in an acid-free box.
EAD markup created using EAD database in Microsoft Access. Markup completed by Henry Allen, August 2004.
Arrangement of Collection
The collections is organized as four series
Detailed Description of the Collection
Series 1: Pickers' Checks, 1880-1975 (5 binders)
This series consists primarily of pickers' checks issued or collected by the Shipley family from the late nineteenth century through the 1970s. This series consists of several parts. The first is a compilation of 570 checks arranged by E. Roderick Shipley into five binders also containing explanatory text, associated documents, photographs, and printed materials about pickers' checks. Photographs originally in this part of the collection have been separated and transferred to Series IV. Photocopies of these materials have been placed in the binders.
These checks were obtained primarily through E. Roderick Shipley's connections in the Anne Arundell County Historical Society or through trade or purchase. The organizing principle appears to be the name of the person whose initials appear on the face of the checks, but there is some variation in this classification system. This portion of the collection exhibits the largest numbers of unique checks and the greatest degree of morphological variation. The vast majority of these checks are associated with Anne Arundell County or other Maryland locations, but there are two store tokens from Louisiana, several commemorative medals and coins, and a circa 1900 Token from a Los Angeles, California, brothel.
The second part of the collection consists of twenty-nine pickers' checks that have been placed at the end of the part arranged by E. Roderick Shipley. Most of these checks are associated with Shipley family farms, primarily of the L.R.S. (Larkin Rodolphus Shipley) and R.O.S. (Roderick O. Shipley) varieties. Several additional Anne Arundell County farmers are represented as well. The value of these checks ranges from one to one hundred, with both volume and checks included. Several of these checks are corroded or otherwise damaged.
The pickers' checks are primarily made of brass, but the collection also includes checks made from cardboard, aluminum, zinc, or other unidentified metals. There is no apparent connection between the value of the material of which the individual checks were composed and the value assigned to them. In addition, there is no patterned correlation between the size and weight of each check and its assigned value. There is some variation in the thickness of the checks, but there is no evidence that this variation is tied either to value or age.
The majority of the checks are circular in form. However, oval and semi-oval checks are also present in relatively large quantities. Cloverleaf shapes, squares, diamond shapes, and other variant shapes are also present, but in much smaller quantities. The checks also vary in edge decoration and edge treatment. Edge decoration consists of two types. The more predominant consists of an embossed bead pattern around the edge of the checks. The other type consists of embossed vertical, parallel lines similar to those on U.S. currency. Several classes of the checks exhibit no edge decoration of either type. Edge treatments include scalloping in rough and smooth forms. The scalloped edge in both forms is usually associated with oval or semi-oval checks rather than the predominant round type.
Stamped initials and values are the usual surface treatment of the checks. In the part of the collection that was organized by E. Roderick Shipley, the initials stamped on the checks are usually those of the farmer on whose land the crops were grown. However, there are some checks associated with stores or packing houses, and these have more elaborate surface treatment. In addition to the initials, a numerical value is stamped on the face of each check. This number corresponds either to an amount of produce picked or to a monetary value. A unique surface treatment associated only with the R.O.S. (Roderick O. Shipley) checks is an embossed double arrow. In addition, the initials R.O.S. are embossed rather than stamped on the checks.
The checks are all roughly from the same chronological period and were known to have been used in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Some of the documentary materials in the binders suggest that the larger and simpler checks are of earlier origin, but at present there is no direct data to support this assertion.
The final part of this series consists of several items apparently originally associated with the pickers' checks. These include a plastic paperweight with pickers' checks embedded in it and a coin commemorating the U.S. Frigate Constellation. Also included within this portion of the series is a steel dye used in creating the R.O.S. Checks.
The pickers' checks and other items discussed above have been transferred to the memorabilia collection (#969-973)
The box inventory for this series is not currently available online. Please refer to the series description above for a broad description of the materials or contact the department for more information.
Series 2: Memorabilia, late nineteen-early twentieth centuries (42 items)
Series II consists of two types of material, souvenirs, or memorabilia related to Arthur M. Shipley's World War I service and several domestic antiques that were the property of Shipley family members.
A total of eleven items associated with Arthur M. Shipley's World War I service are included. Personal gear includes a helmet and canteen, and unidentified cord-wrapped leather object that appears to be part of a decorative tassel, and an American-made leather razor strop. Two bayonets and a .45 caliber Webley revolver and leather holster may also be directly associated with Arthur Shipley. The remaining material consists of a hand grenade of probable American manufacture, two German-made 42 millimeter shells with drilled-out explosive heads, and the brass cartridge from a German 88 millimeter artillery shell.
A somewhat anomalous object in this series is a single round cannonball, probably of Civil War vintage. It was originally placed with the World War I memorabilia, but it substantially predates Arthur Shipley's military service. It may have been collected by a member of the Shipley family and then placed with other World War I memorabilia.
The largest object in this series is a "magic" lantern. This device, of late nineteen or early twentieth century origin, was used to project images on glass slides onto a screen or other viewing surface. This specimen is constructed of red-painted sheet metal and is attached to a wooden base. A glass globe and brass burner comprise the remainder of the lantern's parts. The handle of the burner is embossed with the inscription "Flachbrenner*Weiner," indicating a probable German origin for the object. The lantern is housed in a wooden box marked, "Uncle Ship's Magic Lantern."The series also includes twenty-two glass slides for use with the lantern. These slides are from two sets. The slides from the first of these are lined with material that matches the color of the lantern and contain colored images of semi-realistic pastoral, town, and ocean scenes. The second set contains colored images of multicolored but much less realistic images of people and animals, perhaps of circus scenes. The imagers on the slides are fading and flaking from the surface of the glass.
Several domestic or farm-related artifacts have also been placed in this series. These materials include a hand-carved, green painted, softwood scoop of unknown function and a three part butter mold or press with a symmetrical wheat shock design. The approximate capacity of this press is one-half pound. Two possible associated circular mold stamps are also included. One of these is carved with a swan surrounded by a floral motif, and the other has an annular floral decoration.
E. Roderick Shipley's book stamp has been placed in this series as well. Approximately 1.75" by 2.25", this stamp consists of a cut metal plate attached to a wooden block. The design of the stamp includes a lighthouse and ocean scene and the inscriptions "Books-Lighthouses erected in the great Sea of Time" and "E. Roderick Shipley His Book."
The remaining two artifacts in this series are a 7/8" diameter brass button embossed with "B & A", and a 1.25" iron sleigh bell. The association of these artifacts is uncertain.
These items have been transferred to the memorabilia collection (#974-993).
The box inventory for this series is not currently available online. Please refer to the series description above for a broad description of the materials or contact the department for more information.
Series 3: Playbills, 1901-1902 (10 items)
This series consists of ten playbills for programs presented at three Baltimore theaters: Ford's, Nixon and Zimmerman's, and Chase's. Nine of these are from the 1901-1902 theater season in Baltimore, Maryland. The last is undated but is also from Baltimore and appears to be roughly contemporary with the others. The covers of two of the playbills are annotated with handwritten verse or prose. These materials cannot be directly associated with any Shipley family member, but they may have been the property of Arthur M. Shipley. The playbills are grouped together by theater.

Series 4: Photographs, ca. 1900-1970s (111)
This series consists of black and white and color prints and slides. A total of twenty-five negative strips and squares are also included.
Most are directly associated with the pickers' check displays, sheds or barns associated with farms where the checks were used, or houses of the farmers whose checks are in the collection. Five of these photos were removed from the pickers' checks collection described in Series I above.
Other photographs in this series are images of Roderick. O. Shipley, Shipley family homes, and antiques possibly owned by the family. A single photograph of an early Shipley family member, Amy Shipley Hawkins, is also included.
The final item in this series is a large format (approximately 12" x 17") black and white photograph mounted on cardboard. It depicts a group of people in front of a series of tents and may be a Wesley Grove camp meeting, family reunion, or other relatively large gathering. Although undated, clothing styles suggest a late nineteenth or early twentieth century date for this photograph.
All of the photographs have been transferred to the photograph collection.
The box inventory for this series is not currently available online. Please refer to the series description above for a broad description of the materials or contact the department for more information.
Related Material
The Anne Arundel County Historical Society holds several collections of pickers' checks and associated materials at both their Glen Burnie and Severna Park branches. The Kesey Library , also associated with the Historical Society, holds documentary material that may aid the researcher.
In addition, the Marylandia and Rare Books Department of the University of Maryland at College Park Libraries holds several publications that may be of interest to those researching pickers' checks, farming in Anne Arundel County, or other related subjects. A volume titled Maryland Merchant Tokens was published by the Maryland Token and Medal Society in 1986 (MD FOLIO CJ4909.M3S33 1986). This volume contains images of many pickers' checks, including some of those in the Shipley collection. Genealogical information regarding the Shipley family in Maryland is contained in two volumes published by the Shipley clan. These books, published in 1938 and 1971, are titled The Shipleys of Maryland: A Genealogical Study, and The Shipleys of Maryland 1968; a study of the descendants of Adam Shipley of Yorkshire, England, who came to Annapolis in 1668 (MD STACKS CS71.S5567 1938 and MD STACKS CS71.S5567 1971 respectively). Other volumes of interest include a study of the use of child labor on berry and vegetable farms titled Berry and Vegetable Pickers in Maryland Fields (MD STACKS HD6247.A29U5) and two analyses of historic Baltimore neighborhoods that may have been the year-round homes for field laborers; these are titled Historical Analysis of Baltimore's Inner City Neighborhoods and Your Guide to Baltimore's Neighborhoods (MD STACKS F189.B1H4 and MD STACKS JS587.A2C58 1973).
