I have been teaching English since 1996. I am a certified reading specialist and an English teacher. My experience ranges from 6th grade to 12th and spans a diverse range of learners in many different settings. I have taught in both NH and NY. Presently, I am an English Academic Services provider and English teacher at an Upstate New York high school. I service students in grades 9 - 12 who need English skills improvement with a reading and writing workshop style. I also teach core-area English classes. In 2011, I completed the National Writing Project's Invitational Summer Institute with Capital District Writing Project. In 2016, I completed the Advanced Invitational Institute.
Balanced literacy and student centered/teacher facilitated instruction is important to my teaching. I also value the whole student which is important to consider when teaching anyone anything. I strive to help students value texts for their literary value and not just based on if they "like it". I have found success in connecting literature to the present and real world through the use of supplemental articles, blogs, poetry and other texts. I also incorporate varied writing tasks into my daily teaching.

LONDON (AP) — A sextant owned by the captain of the first ship to respond to distress calls from the Titanic is being offered at auction.
English auctioneers Henry Aldridge & Son estimates that Sir Arthur Rostron's sextant will fetch 70,000 pounds ($111,000) at the sale next Saturday.
The auctioneer said Rostron acquired the navigational device in 1883, and it has remained in the family ever since. The instrument "would certainly have been the instrument he used to navigate through the ice floes," the auctioneer quoted great-granddaughter Janet Rostron as saying.
Rostron captained his ship as it dashed to the last known location of Titanic. Arriving two hours after Titanic sank on the night of April 14-15, 1912, Carpathia managed to rescue 705 people. Two other ships that arrived later found no survivors.

Wings To The Sky
By: Jeffrey J.
Ohio, Age 8
This is breaking news from Jeffrey J...... I'm here reporting on July 2nd, 1937 at the Miami Airport where the worlds national celebrity, Amelia Earhart and her navigator Fred Noonan begin there fight around the world. Breaking news tells us that it seems they have somehow disappeared over the Pacific Ocean and are no longer in flight. They departed on June 1st, flying from Miami, across the Atlantic Ocean to Dakar, Senegal, in Africa, and then on to India. They took off on July 2nd for Howland Island. Howland is half a mile wide and two miles long - - barely a dot in the Pacific Ocean. Twenty hours into the flight, Amelia's voice is picked up by a ship's radio near the island. But the Electra and crew never arrived. The disappearance of these two American citizens has so affected the United States that President Roosevelt has personally authorized nine naval ships and 66 planes to help in the search effort. Over 4,000 men comb the waters and islands of the South Pacific. Amelia Earhart and Fred Noonan have not been found. No trace of the Electra or crew has been spotted. It looks like this fight may have ended in tragedy. According to authorities finding the Electra or the crew seems hopeless. We may never know what caused this horrible tragedy. But, we are sure of one thing that this event will never be forgotten. Our hearts are deeply saddened by this loss and we hope that a rescue is near.

Two South Florida singing icons, Jimmy Buffett and Gloria Estefan, are teaming up to help save one of their favorite venues: the Miami Marine Stadium.
The Coral Gables Museum, which is now running Concrete Paradise, an exhibit devoted to the 50-year-old architectural gem on Biscayne Bay on Virginia Key, plays host on Jan. 9 to a fund-raising gala. The pop stars will sit for a conversation moderated by NBC 6 anchor Jackie Nespral and dish their favorite memories of performing at the open-air, waterfront stadium that fell victim to Hurricane Andrew in 1992.
Buffett, who in 1986 released Live By the Bay, his first home video, from a concert shot the previous year at the stadium, will close the evening with a short acoustic performance accompanied by a steel drum player.
No doubt, memories of a Friday night summer rain storm that sent Buffett scurrying to his sailboat docked by the stage, or the Saturday night celebrations at the second show — Parrotheads diving off of their boats sans parrot-head gear or much else — will filter into the conversation.
On the menu? Margaritaville and mojitos, cheeseburgers in paradise and paella — two items apiece to represent the South Florida superstars who came to national prominence in the 1970s and 1980s by singing from stages like the Marine Stadium's floating dock.
The exhibit, which runs through Jan. 13, and the Buffett-Estefan soirée, "means great exposure for the museum and for our exhibit on the Marine Stadium," said Gables Museum director Christine Rupp. "The whole idea is to get people her to understand the stadium's history and social significance and why it should be saved."
The Marine Stadium was designed by architect Hilario Candela, a 28-year-old Cuban immigrant, and opened Christmas week in 1963. After Andrew, the battered hulk faced demolition. But the site, deeded to the city of Miami by the Matheson family with the condition that it contain an entertainment complex, gained supporters with the formation of the Friends of the Miami Marine Stadium who push for the restoration and reopening of the distinctive, all-concrete stadium.
In addition to Buffett and Estefan, powerboat races, and Toni Tennille singing standards with the Boston Pops at a Fourth of July celebration, the venue once put entertainer Sammy Davis Jr. and President Richard Nixon on the same stage together during the 1972 Republican National Convention.
In July, the city of Miami Commission gave the Friends two years to raise the estimated $30 million it would cost to restore the stadium that now has become a canvas for graffiti artists and photographers.
In October, American Express donated $80,000 to underwrite an engineering study of the pilings that bore into the bay's waters and support the stadium's concrete grandstand, a first step toward possible renovation. Proceeds from the January shindig will benefit the National Trust for Historic Preservation's work to restore the stadium and the Coral Gables Museum where the ongoing exhibit functions as a promotion to save the venue, said museum director Christine Rupp.
The exhibit, divided into four parts, takes a look at the Marine Stadium through multimedia, including a set of original bleachers. The $200-per-person gala, which will only sell 300 tickets, will feature more than Buffett and his acoustic guitar.
Look for Candela, now 78, to celebrate the stadium's possible rebirth amid the strains of the singers' signature hits, Margaritaville and Conga.
"He's having a ball with this whole thing," said Rupp. "This was his project and he has seen it abandoned and has seen the new inspiration from the graffiti artists and photographers and now, hopefully, he will see it restored."

With four seasons of Bravo's Million Dollar Listing under his belt and a new memoir, Million Dollar Agent: Brokering the Dream, real estate agent Josh Flagg continues to ride the wave of success.
We were able to catch up with Josh to talk about the current season of MDL, why he decided to pen his memoir at a young age, the growing popularity of his grandma Edith, and whether or not he plans to return next season. "I haven't the slightest idea," says Josh, though he expects MDL to return for a season five.
Not too many people pen their memoirs at age 25, which brings the question why now? Well, Josh credits a special person in his life for pushing him to write his book. "My grandmother suggested I write about myself and after careful thought, I realized I do have a pretty interesting story to tell," Josh tells Reality Tea. "In fact, we had so much that we had to censor a lot and take things OUT. Believe me, there was more than enough material to go with."
Josh believes fans of the show will get a better insight into the person he is by reading Million Dollar Agent, which also serves as an inspirational how-to book for making it in the dog-eat-dog world of real estate. "I am a very private person on camera, so I think the book will help people understand who I really am," says Josh. "It is also a fabulous tool for someone who wants to get somewhere but does not know where to start."
So is his granny Edith Flagg aware of her popularity with fans of the show? "She is aware. She does not understand the fascination," Josh says, adding that she does "get a kick out" of being recognized on the streets and fans coming up to ask for pictures with her. Josh also reveals he is still working with the twins from the show, Marissa and Julianna Stoap.
And of course, we had to touch on the whole coming out issue as Josh officially came out as a gay man on the last episode of MDL. When asked what the response has been like from fans, Josh makes it clear the whole ordeal wasn't a big deal to him. "People make such a big deal out of it like it was a life changing experience for me," he says. "Yes I am a gay man… so is every other "hetero" in Hollywood."
On that note, the finale of Million Dollar Listing airs tonight on Bravo at 9/8c. You can keep up with Josh via his twitter page at @JoshFlagg1.

Jared Allen played more than 1,000 snaps last season, rushed the quarterback on roughly half of those and nearly set an NFL record with 22 sacks. That small mathematical percentage underscores Allen's contention that sacking the quarterback is not always an easy task.
"It's tough to get there," he said.
The Vikings All-Pro defensive end does it better than most, though. Since entering the league in 2004, Allen has collected 107 sacks, more than any player. He's led the NFL in sacks twice -- no player in league history has done that three times -- and he's a lock to record the second-most sacks by any player through his first nine seasons, trailing only the great Reggie White.
"This league is built on what have you done for me lately," said Allen, who has two sacks and 10 quarterback hurries this season. "No matter what you did the year before, you've got to come out and do it again or otherwise you're really no value to anybody."
Allen sat down with me recently to watch tape and dissect his preparation and approach as a pass rusher. He identified areas that serve as the foundation for his sustained success.
Effort plus technique
Opponent: Tampa Bay, Sept. 18, 2011
Bucs tackle Donald Penn lunged at Allen's feet at the snap, causing him to fall. Allen quickly got up and chased down Josh Freeman, a play that typified Allen's relentless pass rush and nonstop pursuit of the quarterback.
Allen's insight: "There are certain things I can control. I can control how good of condition I'm in and I can control wanting it more than the other guy. If I'm willing to do whatever it takes to get the quarterback, if I'm willing to do whatever it takes to beat my guy, I'm going to win more than I lose. I'm not a blazing fast guy. I'm not an overpowering guy. I'm a leverage-technique guy. That's how I rush. If my technique is better than yours, I will win the majority of the time. You've just got to know your strengths."
Quick off the ball
Opponent: Washington, Dec. 24, 2011
Allen exploded off the line with a speed rush to beat tackle Willie Smith and sack Rex Grossman. Allen excels at anticipating snap counts and getting a quick jump. He credits studying film of former Kansas City Chiefs star Derrick Thomas early in his career.
Allen's insight: "There's some trade secrets that I can't give away. There's certain things you can watch and obviously there's a play clock. You can kind of get an idea when a team wants to snap the ball. Offenses do stuff to tip their hand a little bit. You can tell if a guy is lazy in his stance, they're not about to snap the ball versus when a guy is glaring right at you."
In search of turnovers
Opponent: Carolina, Oct. 30, 2011
Allen beat a single block by tackle Jordan Gross and caused a sack-strip of rookie Cam Newton by chopping down on his arm. Allen has forced 27 fumbles since 2005 -- tied for third most in the NFL -- and always tries to knock the ball loose.
Allen's insight: "Unfortunately, I've missed two [sacks] this year by going for the football. I missed two in the Colts game. I came scot-free around the edge and I thought [Andrew Luck] was going to throw the ball and you go for the strip and he pulls it down. It's kind of the progression for how it works. Once you get to the quarterback, you're trying to make a big play."
Constant attention
Opponent: Detroit, Dec. 11, 2011
The Lions used two tight ends to double Allen off the line, but he worked past both and sacked Matthew Stafford. Double teams, running back "chip help" and extra attention are a way of life for Allen, who doesn't see many one-on-one matchups.
Allen's insight: "You just expect it. You look at formation tendencies and where a guy lines up. If a running back is in a chip position, I'm expecting to get it. You've got to use those situations to your advantage. If there's two people on me, there's somebody who has a one-on-one. Sometimes the chip will screw the offense up. You can actually use that against them, whether you spin off it or split it. When you get one-on-one opportunities, you've got to win more than you lose."
Finding a rhythm
Opponent: Detroit, Sept. 25, 2011
Allen had his way with tackle Jeff Backus and finished with three sacks, one of six times in his career that he's notched at least three sacks in one game, including a career-high 4 1/2 against Aaron Rodgers in 2009. Allen tends to get sacks in bunches when he finds a rhythm.
Allen's insight: "You get a sense of when you've got a guy. When you've got a guy, now he's guessing where you're going to go. Those are games you don't want to end. I remember in that Green Bay game, there wasn't anything I couldn't do. Sometimes you get in that mode and everything you're doing is working properly. That's why I always say you have to be so good on first and second down because if you're in third-and-short or allow a team to run the ball on you, then your rhythm is broken because you don't know what they're going to do. Third-and-4 or less, they've got the whole playbook open for you. When you get into third-and-7 and have a lead, it allows you to rush, rush, rush. That's when you get to heat them up."
Setting up counter moves
Opponent: San Francisco, Sept. 23, 2012
Allen sealed a victory with a sack-strip of Alex Smith with 1:41 left. Allen set up that sack with how he rushed on previous downs. He often uses the same move repeatedly to set up a counter move later on.
Allen's insight: "A lot of times a sack is a rhythm breaker. If I'm getting a guy into a rhythm, I might have three, four or five rushes where I'm up the field. I'm obviously trying to win. But if I don't get there, I know if I give this guy the same look, then counter off of it, you have a greater chance of winning."
Sacking the best
Opponent: Denver, Dec. 4, 2011
Allen made a diving, shoestring sack of a scrambling Tim Tebow. Allen has sacked 50 different quarterbacks in his career, including some big names -- Brady, Brees, Manning (both brothers), Favre, Vick, Rivers, Rodgers and Romo.
Allen's insight: "I've got the majority of the big ones. Probably the best is Peyton Manning. It took me five years to get him. He gets rid of the ball so fast. I haven't gotten Drew [Brees] since he was playing in San Diego. It's always fun to sack the top guys because that's why they're the top guys -- they get the ball out so fast. Sometimes those guys give you a little extra time because they might hold it a half-second longer just because they know they can fit the ball in tight places. Plus, it looks a little better on your résumé at the end of the year, right?"

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – In a notably physical game played primarily in the midfield, the Tennessee Tech Golden Eagles took down a frontrunner for the the OVC no. 2 spot, Southeast Missouri. The Redhawks racked up 17 fouls on Tech while both teams combined for only 13 shots throughout the entire game.
In spite of the time spent in the midfield, sophomore Andrea Meloff broke through the Redhawk line of defense to notch her fourth goal of the season in the 55th minute of the game, giving the Golden Eagles the lead going into halftime and the eventual well-earned, albeit slim 1-0 win.
Of Tech's 6 total shots, two of which fell on net, Meloff contributed two including her goal, while four other Golden Eagles notched one shot apiece. The Golden Eagle defense, however, comprised of one player from each class year, held the Redhawks to seven shots on the game, their lowest opponent shot total of the season.
Sophomore Leigh Heffner anchored the backfield, clearing nearly all of Tech's free kicks while freshman Taylor Hicks, junior Lindsey Reed and senior Taren Brown launched the Golden Eagle attacking game out of Tech's half.
Freshman Becca Toler earned her second career shutout, earning two saves over 90 minutes. SEMO keeper Ashton Aubuchon also recorded two saves on the day.
"This win has been a long time coming for us," first-year coach Daniel Brizard said. "It's taken us a lot of the season to put all the pieces together for a full 90 minutes, and today we were able to do that.
"It was great to come through with a win in front of our fans during the home stretch of the season," Brizard continued. "The team is loving being back in Cookeville, and we're definitely hoping to carry this momentum through Sunday's game."
Sunday afternoon's 2 p.m. contest will put Tech, now 3-11/1-4, toe-to-toe with the Panthers of Eastern Illinois.

jordans for sale online
NEW YORK (AP) — PepsiCo reported a stronger-than-expected quarterly profit as the company sold more snacks around the world and hiked prices, including on its drinks.
The company, which also makes Frito-Lay, Gatorade, Mountain Dew and Tropicana, said global snack volume rose 2 percent in the period. Global beverage volume was unchanged from a year ago, including in its closely watched North American drinks unit.
Coca-Cola also reported flat volume in the North America market earlier this week. Both companies have been offsetting ongoing declines in their flagship soda businesses by relying more heavily on other beverages, such as sports drinks, juices and bottled waters.
Even though beverage volume was flat in North America, PepsiCo managed to push up revenue by raising prices as well as introducing more expensive drinks such as Mountain Dew Kickstart, which is marketed as an energy drink of sorts for younger men.
In a phone interview, Chief Financial Officer Hugh Johnston noted that a can of Kickstart costs .99, versus .50 for a 12-pack of Mountain Dew. He said that stepped-up marketing has strengthened the company s brands, which has allowed PepsiCo to raise prices. For the year, he said the company planned to raise prices between 2 percent and 3 percent in both snacks and drinks.
As we make the brands stronger, consumers are willing to accept that, he said.
Finding ways to charge customers more has been critical for Coca-Cola and PepsiCo, which are trying to make up for declines in soda volume. Both companies, for instance, have rolled out mini-cans of soda that they say fit with people s desire to control portion sizes. But the smaller sizes are also more profitable for the companies.
Taking down pricing is not going to drive up demand all that much, PepsiCo CEO Indra Nooyi said in an earnings call.
Both companies have been slashing costs to boost profit and free up money for marketing.
At its Frito-Lay North America unit, revenue rose 4 percent, reflecting a 3 percent increase in volume and slightly higher prices.
In Europe, snack and beverage volumes each rose by 3 percent. In the unit encompassing Asia, the Middle East and Africa, the company said revenue growth was driven by higher snack volume.
Johnston said that strength during the quarter demonstrates why the company s snack and beverage units belong together, seemingly in reference to calls by activist investor Nelson Peltz, who wants the company to split its stronger snacks unit from its drinks unit.
PepsiCo has steadfastly rejected the strategy.
For the first quarter that ended March 22, the company earned .22 billion, or 79 cents per share. Not including one-time items, it earned 83 cents per share, above the 75 cents per share Wall Street expected.
A year ago, it earned .08 billion, or 69 cents per share.
Revenue edged up to a better-than expected .62 billion.
PepsiCo, based in Purchase, N.Y., stood by its outlook for the year. It expects adjusted earnings per share to grow by 7 percent.
Its stock closed up 78 cents, or almost 1 percent, at .55.

I started back to work yesterday. I also got my first period on Tuesday. I have had no problems nursing my 13 week old until now. Yesterday I pumped 5 times for a total of ... 1 oz! I spoke to a lactation consultant who recommended I get a new pump (this one was also used for my 3 year old with no problems). So I got a new medela instyle. Today I pumped and pumped and power pumped ( I have an office thank God) and still only 2 oz.
I have been taking fenugreek. I don't see any letdown when I pump. I listened to a guided meditation, looked at video of the baby and still nothing! I am home now and she is nursing with no complaints. I don't know what to do. I feel like I am simply unable to pump.

I just wanted to thank you and your staff for your openness in respecting the opinions of others as you post them to your Letters page. I read a recent letter from a woman who seemed upset by a letter written by Bud Wilkinson. I thought her letter was immensely revealing. From her demeanor, I wasn't sure if we senior folks should apologize for the way we view things today, or if we should simply get out of the way and let the intellectuals steer our country in the direction they believe will most benefit themselves.
You see, Mr. Wilkinson and I come from a different America than the America we see today. Although I perceive we seniors are considered obsolete and have lost our right to express our opinions, we come from an America that confidently believed in itself. An America that has identified historically with patriotism achieved through a proud heritage, and strong values. We have experienced in our lifetimes a nation forged by the sacrifices of men and women who believed they could achieve a better life through sweat, toil, and personal effort.
Oh, I know there have been serious iniquities. Having taught history in the public school system for many years, I am well aware of our nation's shortcomings. Regrettably, I have also seen the rewriting of our history to emphasize those shortcomings at the expense of notable and positive achievements. It's no wonder our children have little appreciation for America as a land of opportunity and personal freedom.
But I do sense a frustration in your letter with our lack of appreciation for your president, a man who reflects no understanding of our American heritage, traditions or values. Throughout the past four years it has been clearly evident to us that your president has stood against everything we Americans throughout history have fought, died, sacrificed for, and built with our hands for the benefit of future generations.
Perhaps, young lady, it's your generation having little appreciation for the America of Mr. Wilkinson and myself, that leads to your intolerance of our view of America. By the way my dear, we earned our Social Security through years of paying into the system. Social Security for us is not a free hand-out. And that's a fact!

Cowboys News: Tank In, Anderson Out
Tank Johnson is finally off suspension and has been activated by the Cowboys. Tank will be ready to play his first game as a Cowboy Sunday against the Giants. He will probably not start but is expected to give Jay Ratliff some relief, especially in run situations.
The Cowboys didn't have to cut anyone to make room for Tank because of an injury that occurred Sunday night. Fullback rookie Deon Anderson suffered a torn rotator cuff injury and has been placed on Injured Reserve. Because of the injured Oliver Hoyte, Anderson received alot of additional playing time. Hoyte has been cleared to play but Coach Phillips doesn't want to activate him until he is 100%. The Cowboys could make a move for another fullback.
Isaiah Stanback and Pat Watkins were also injured during the game against the Eagles. Stanback injured his shoulder and Watkins sprained his ankle. Both injuries are minor and they had an extra day to rest. We will know more when they return to practice on Wednesday.
You may have noticed that Tyson Thompson was absent Sunday. Isaiah Stanback was activated in place of Thompson. Coach Phillips decided to try something different on kick returns.
"We were trying to get a spark there," Phillips said of the change. "We had been doing OK with it; it was just for a change of pace. We wanted to see what he could do there. (Stanback) has a lot of ability and he's been showing up in practice as a receiver and we wanted to try to get him to the game and see what he could do in the ball game."

I'd like to use rosetta stone, but it's flipping expensive.
Just say 'Whale Oil Beef Hooked' fast.
So in your opinion, is it worth the money over all other language tools? What makes Rosetta Stone special?
Has anyone used this before (or is anyone using it now)? I've always had an interest in acquiring a tyro's grasp of a few other foreign languages, particularly Irish and Swedish, not so much because I'm ever likely to have any use for them as because I think it would enrich me and broaden my horizons. I've always held off because it's pretty pricey. Recently, though, Groupon had an offer on it, so after mulling it over for a bit, I decided to get the Irish package.I've been using it for a couple of weeks or so now and am greatly enjoying it. I've tried to learn Irish in the past and have never made much headway (it's a very difficult language to learn), but Rosetta Stone is taking me a lot farther than I've ever been able to go before. Rosetta Stone also includes a variety of online instruction methods, including working with native speakers, but I haven't tried any of those yet -- I want to get further along in the lessons before I make a fool out of myself that way.
You believe evolution and there is no evidence for that. Where is the fossil record of a half man half ape. I've only ever heard about it in reading.
I'd like to have computer software that teaches Japanese, but Rosetta Stone is absurdly expensive. I'd like to learn the language because of my interest in Japanese culture and media.
Just say 'Whale Oil Beef Hooked' fast. I've been tempted myself, I've been meaning to learn Swedish, however, I probably should finish off learning German too, considering I visit Germany almost every year now and I hate sounding like an idiot with my basic German. So in your opinion, is it worth the money over all other language tools? What makes Rosetta Stone special?
lolI checked out Mango, looks pretty decent. Not a huge selection for languages though but the tools seem cool enough, but I may be tempted to use it as I've got to brush up on my German as I'm visiting Germany in a few months, sure I know enough to get by, but no harm in knowing more, so I don't sound like a bumbling idiot. For Finnish for my project idea, I think Transparent seems like the best one I've found for it. Not like I need to be fluent for it.
My son hijacked the headphones to play video games.
It's good because it is free. Is it free to you too?

Almost 100 people fall ill after Toronto fair
August 22, 2013
TORONTO (AP) — Public health officials in Toronto say almost 100 people have reported symptoms of foodborne illness after attending the annual Canadian National Exhibition.
Paramedics treated 34 people who had symptoms of gastrointestinal illnesses earlier this week, sending five to the hospital.
Kris Scheuer, a Toronto Public Health spokeswoman, said Thursday that the number affected has jumped to close to 100.
Public health officials say a thorough investigation is under way.
Food samples from a vendor have been sent to a lab for testing, but the source of illness hasn't been confirmed.

STOCKTON - Frank Henderson lives the "independent" in independent business owner.
STOCKTON - Frank Henderson lives the "independent" in independent business owner.
The 85-year-old owner, and sole employee, of Frank's Shoeshine, 231 E. Market St., has been a downtown Stockton fixture for decades.
Henderson is not sure exactly how long, but he started sometime after "the trolleys ran on Weber."
They stopped in 1941.
Henderson is still going.
The doorway to his narrow, 200-square-foot "or so" business is humble and guarded now with wrought iron "to keep the homeless folks out."
Henderson sells new shoes, polishes old ones, stretches shoes and also dyes them. He sells hats, socks and pro sports ball caps.
When business is less than robust - the situation of late - he puts on his entrepreneur's hat. He buys wintertime fruits and vegetables wholesale and then sells items retail to a circle of downtown friends and customers.
His shop was loaded with bags of oranges, avocados and nuts during January's cold snap. "When things are slow, I go to what I know."
With rent at $300 a month for his business, Henderson is able to regulate his work and put his focus where he wants. He is almost as proud of the memorabilia that adorns his walls as any shoe transactions.
He has a collection of photographs, many of them autographed, from the glory days of the San Francisco 49ers and Oakland Raiders.
His shop walls also are lined with pictures from mid-20th century Stockton.
Henderson is particularly proud that he has pictures of the old county courthouse and jail.
"I know stuff. That's why I have all these historical things. When I can get something historical, I grab it."
His shop has been in its location for six years. His door is adjacent to the back entrance of the Bob Hope Theatre. Henderson said he loves the location, his third spot over the past couple of decades.
"I've met a lot of celebrities. I've got a picture over here signed by The Oak Ridge Boys."
Henderson's business model is simple, and one he has learned as a 50-year member of the Elks Lodge and as a Shriner and Mason.
"I learned how to treat people. And I enjoy it - every day. People know me from all over."
He was born in Dallas, raised in Oklahoma City (a graduate of then-segregated, all-black Douglas High School) and a 21-year veteran of the U.S. Air Force.
He came to Stockton in the 1940s when his mother, the late Mary Henderson, got a job teaching at Edison High School. Henderson never married, but has one son who is an Amtrak engineer and lives in San Bernardino.
Are the days numbered for Frank's Shoeshine? Not according to Henderson. "I'm going to keep working until ... ."

Five people were arrested when police went to a northwest Canton home in response to a report that a woman was being held there against her will Friday.
When police investigating an abduction report asked three men whether any women were in the house, the men reportedly slammed the door shut, pinning an officer's foot and hand and injuring him.
Stark County Jail records said the men were then arrested. The officers also arrested two women.
Canton police initially went to the home at 607 Wilson Pl. NW at 4:44 a.m. Friday after receiving a report that a woman was being held against her will.
Jail records said that when the officers contacted Gregory L. Phillips, 37, at the door, he lied when asked if any women were in the home, which he shares with Rashan E. Phillips, 19, and Eric R. Lamar, 31.
The jail records said the men then began yelling profanities at the officers and slammed the door on them, cutting one officer's hand and trapping his foot in the door jamb.
But police were able to get inside.
They arrested all three men, jailed each on a charge of felony assault of a peace officer. Both the Phillipses were additionally charged with obstructing official business.
The officers also arrested two women.
A 22-year-old Scoville Avenue SW woman who went to prison last year for felony theft was arrested on a warrant issued for her arrest Nov. 7 when she failed to appear in court for a hearing on a charge of unauthorized use of a vehicle, Stark County court records show. Another 22-year-old woman, who lives on Paumier Avenue in Louisville, was also arrested on a warrant accusing her of failing to appear in court. Her hearing involved a theft charge, the court records show.
The charges against the women are misdemeanors. The Repository does not typically name misdemeanor crime suspects.
Neither the jail records nor the police reports said whether the officers found anyone held against her will in the house.

Kansas Wheat Growers Should Be Aware of Crop Diseases to the South
Source: Kansas State University Press Release. www.ag.ksu.edu
Manhattan, Kansas (April 1, 2013)--With forecasts of snow still a possibility and the wheat just starting to green up in parts of Kansas, it may surprise some wheat growers to know that March is an important month for wheat disease development.
"It turns out that February and March are important because we often receive our first reports of disease activity from states to our south," said Erick De Wolf, plant pathologist with K-State Research and Extension. "This is particularly relevant for the rust diseases, which often survive the winter in these southern climates."
So far this year there are several reports of rust developing in Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississippi, De Wolf said. Stripe rust has been observed in all four states and appears to be spreading beyond the initial foci of infection. Leaf rust has been reported in Texas, but not the other states.
The reports of stripe rust and leaf rust from Texas are the most important for Kansas, because weather systems often transport the rust spores from Texas into Oklahoma and Kansas. Varieties such as Everest, Armour, and TAM 111 are being affected in Texas this year. This is similar to what was observed in 2012 and there are no reports of new races of stripe rust to date.
De Wolf said that Bob Hunger, a wheat disease specialist with Oklahoma State University, reported no finds of rust in Oklahoma as of March 21.
"Growers in Kansas should be monitoring the situation in Texas and Oklahoma. If the disease continues to develop in Texas or is reported in Oklahoma, we will need to evaluate the need for fungicides to suppress rust development in fields planted to susceptible varieties," he said.

We all want to look our best and if we have beautiful skin, it certainly can make us feel better about ourselves. One of the best ways to maintain the look of our skin is to use ingredients that contribute to the beauty of it. For instance, Vitamin C is a great ingredient to allow you to help your skin look its best.
Vitamin C is a very powerful antioxidant for the skin and can really allow you to have the skin you may have always wanted. It is a common ingredient in many of ZENMED skin care product and you will able to get these products right off the website.
An article in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (January 2000, pages 464–465) discussed the issue of vitamin C and concluded that "Vitamin C is a valuable antioxidant and protectant against photodamage that is created by sunlight in both the UVB and UVA bands…. Although oral supplementation may also be useful, topical preparations are able to deliver a higher dosage to the needed area. Topical Vitamin Cdoes not absorb or block harmful ultraviolet radiation like a sunscreen. Instead, it augments the skin's ability to neutralize reactive oxygen singlets [free-radical damage] that are created by the ultraviolet radiation, thereby preventing photodamage to the skin. It becomes an integral part of the skin and remains unaffected by bathing, exercise, clothing, or makeup. Used appropriately, topical vitamin C is an important adjunct to the use of sunscreens, an adjunctive treatment to lessen erythema [redness] in skin resurfacing, a helpful adjunct or an alternative to Retin-A in the treatment of fine wrinkles, and a stimulant to wound healing."
So, as you see Vitamin C can do a lot of good for the skin and really make your skin look much more attractive as well as younger. We all would like to have younger looking skin and the ability to really make it happen can occur when you use products that contain this great ingredient. ZENMED offers a Facial Cleansing Gel as well as many others they offer, has Vitamin C in it. This is an ingredient that you will find in many of ZENMED products, so you will want to make certain you try some of these products if you are interested in having beautiful and younger looking skin.

"Are you feeling better," a coworker asked me this morning?
"Um, I'm OK. I kind of have to be better. You know, motherhood," I said. Smile.
On Thursday I was in the fashion closet showing my editors all of the clothing I pulled for a big shoot down in Miami. That's when I cupped my hand over my mouth and ran out of the closet. I puked and returned to the closet. I continued the showcase, but left another three times. Once the shoot was packed and my work was done I left early and dove under my covers. I set the alarm for 5 PM and cringed thinking about having to get JD from school, but there was no one this time, to help. I needed to be a mom until at least 8 PM.
When I got to his school, his teacher asked me if I was OK and I told her I had the stomach flu. I guess my baggy sweats, pale face and floppy hat gave it away. I rushed JD home, made him some pasta and peas and sat with him while he ate. I told him I was sick and he needed to take a quick shower. He was genuinely concerned and didn't put up a fight. "Are we going to the doctor?" he asked. We sat on the couch and watched Batman. I told him we had to skip books because Mommy was ill and needed to rest. He was so understanding and cooperative. Pretty sure this is because I cried and puked and he found me in the bathroom hugging the bowl. "Mommy's belly hurts, but it's OK," I said. But it wasn't OK. I feel hopeless and helpless when I'm sick and alone with JD. I wonder, Will this feeling ever go away? I'm a baby when I'm sick. But something that makes things a tad easier? I'm on a team. For a long time now, I've pounded into JD's head we are in fact a team. It's me and you, bud and we need to work together. Sure, I have fam and friends, but this weekend is an example of single motherhood at its finest.
In the morning I didn't feel much better, but I found the strength to pack JD's lunch and drive him to school because it meant I could drink gingerale and sleep all day—something I've found is the only cure for the stomach flu—and that is truly what my body needed. Rest. I wasn't better by the time I picked him up—puking did cease and we ate soup together that evening. I was able to read to him and when he begged to sleep in my bed, I just let him. I couldn't fight. I didn't want to make him cry and leave him in his room. We both fell asleep by 9 PM.
I felt somewhat normal the next day, but only because I had no choice but to see the weekend through. I had no help. All of my family were busy and my friends have kids of their own, so no one wants pukey germs around them. We laid low, watched movies and played games. It was an early night yet again. On Sunday, I was feeling better than Saturday, so I took JD to an indoor playground and let him run and play (like a puppy released from a cage!)—and I even found the strength to slide down the green slide with him—three times! Iiiiiyiii iiiii! (Yes, we basically bathed in antibacterial gel when we got home.)
That's the thing about being sick when you're a mom. You have to carry on. So I did. And knock on wood, JD didn't get sick.

Melissa, er, Lou blogs over at My Loueyville and I just love her. Cincinnati is a wonderful city, but we've also got two other wonderful cities – Louisville and Lexington – around or under 2 hours drive south. I have ties to Louisville, I admit, as my brother-in-law just graduated from UofL, I went to school at Kentucky Wesleyan (where I swear everyone was from Louisville), and I don't know if I've ever missed a Kentucky Derby in my life. I'm thrilled that Lou decided to guest post for me here at Wine-Girl!
I've been a proud Louisvillager and self-proclaimed cheerleader for the city for almost four years now. And one of the many, many things I love about this city is its proximity to Cincinnati. I relish my quarterly weekend trips to Cincy to avail myself of some of the luxuries that my corner of the midwest doesn't possess. I'm an IKEA fiend, but I go as much for the meatballs as for the home decor. I'm a recent convert to Trader Joe's– as a single person, I am bonkers for their frozen food entrees. And if there's a prettier bar in the entire region than the Hilton Cincinnati Netherland Plaza, I haven't seen it.
That being said, I sure hope you Cincinnatians take advantage of your proximity to my fair city. There's no better time to make your way upriver to our neck of the woods than summer. And some of the best reasons to visit are free or cheap as heck.
I'm a 4th generation Red Sox fan, but now that I've moved here, I've embraced your Reds as my secondary team. And if you have even a passing love of the Reds, you need to get down here to a Louisville Bats game to see some of your future stars at work. Last year, Homer Bailey was my favorite "boy of summer," and now he's pitching down your way almost full time. This year, the star to watch is Aroldis Chapman… you may want to watch him because, at least right now, the Reds' $30M man seems to be falling apart a bit. But the best reason to hit Slugger Field to see a Bats game is that it is, hands down, the cheapest fun this city has to offer. As little as $7 gets you inside (watch for deals, like a AAA discount) — I rarely ever sit in an actual seat as the park features abundant picnic tables with great views. Beer is about $4.50, but again, keep your eye open for deals — happy hours can reduce that down to $1-$3. And there's more than hot dogs and nachos for food. The stand under the Jumbotron sells pork chop and ribeye sandwiches as well as really excellent grilled corn on the cob. Slugger Field is also a gorgeous place to watch a sunset over the river.
If you're lucky like I am and enjoy summers off, the best free fun the city has to offer during the summer is Waterfront Wednesdays, the last Wednesday of every month from April-September. Waterfront Wednesdays is a free concert at Waterfront Park sponsored by public radio station WFPK. Every WW features three acts, most of them nationally known — this month (June 30) features Carney (fronted by Reeve Carney, who will next appear in the Julie Taymor-directed Spiderman musical on Broadway), Sonos, and Joshua James. Feel free to bring a picnic, but no outside alcohol is allowed. That's no big deal because the WW stands feature great beers and a full bar at reasonable prices. It's spitting distance from Slugger Field, so in addition to good beer and great music, you're treated to the same gorgeous riverfront sunset. Waterfront Wednesdays are like my birthday and Christmas rolled into one, six times a year.
Big news recently in the 'Ville is that our own 21c Hotel has announced intentions to expand to 15 more cities, starting with Bentonville, Arkansas — home of Walmart HQ. (Weird, I know.) Cincinnati is going to get one too. While it isn't cheap to either stay at or eat at our most beautiful and interesting hotel (but it is so-o-o-o worth it!), it is absolutely free to check out 21c's contemporary art museum. Conde Nast Traveller's #1 US hotel is way at the top of the list of things that make me proud to be a Louisvillager. If it's possible to have a crush on a business, I have a raging crush on 21c. (Check out my blog post about my 21c love.)
We are an art-loving city, and this year we landed the Glass Arts Society annual conference, and so lots of our downtown galleries and museums feature some really beautiful and groundbreaking glass arts. The conference is June 10-12, but most of the exhibits will last all summer long. And the best time to take advantage of all those exhibits is on the first Friday of every month, during our First Friday Gallery Hop. This art show/street fair is totally free, including parking and trolley transportation during the event. The Gallery Hop goes from 5pm-11pm, and most of the participating galleries and museums offer snacks and drinks — some even offer wine and beer tastings.
This just scratches the surface of all the fabulous things that Louisville has to offer this summer. I like to believe that whenever I fill my cooler at Trader Joe's, another Cincinnatian gets his/her wings to fly to Louisville. Of course for more goings-on in Louisville, you can check out my blog, Loueyville. Other stellar Louisville blogs include, Consuming Louisville, and for music lovers, Backseat Sandbar.
Hope to see y'all downriver soon!
knew there was a reason i liked you… Go Cards… Go Krogering…
Isn't Louisville the South (not Midwest) and isn't it Louisville downriver from Cincy, not up?
That being said, I love Louisville! 732 Social and Louisville Beer Store are two of my favorites!
Oops, Jay, you're right. I said "downriver" in the last paragraph, but I said "upriver" at the beginning. Sorry 'bout that!
Now, as I understand it, there's a pretty heated battle over whether Louisville is the northernmost part of the South or the southernmost part of the Midwest. It's crystal clear that Lexington, an hour or so south of us, IS the South. Personally, I think what makes Louisville so special is that it's the best of both worlds. But before I moved to Louisville, I spent 12 years in the Deep South (FL & LA), so I tend to default to "Midwest" to describe Louisville.
Anyone have any other thoughts?
PS I LOVE the Beer Store too… still haven't hit 732 Social.

GREENVILLE, Ill. – The Panthers saw their conference record fall to 16-6 on Friday, as the Golden Eagles of Spalding University handed the club their first loss in ten games. SU tattooed the Black & Orange with 16 hits in the seven-inning battle, scoring 12 runs and handing Greenville the home loss.
GC's David Massengill (5-2) was charged the loss, pitching five innings while giving up nine earned on ten hits and receiving little Panther run support in the 12-2 defeat.
Spalding's Taylor Reilly (4-0) held the Greenville bats in check for most of the game, earning the win while tossing six innings with only two earned on seven hits and notching six strikeouts.
Despite the slow day offensively, senior slugger Daniel Covert continued to bat effectively for the Panthers, going 3-for-3 with an RBI and a run scored.
The club will again host Spalding tomorrow at Robert E. Smith Field as they celebrate GC Baseball's Senior Day. The scheduled double-header will round out the seasons three-game set.

There is no learning curve for stupid
This title is most aptly directed towards a man by the name of Kip Mckean, founder of the Boston Movement church, the International Church of Christ and now the International Christian Church. In 1979, Kip Mckean corralled 30 would-be idiots in a living room in Boston, Mass. who dedicated themselves to "go any where, and do anything" for the cause of Christ. To the end of world evangelization in one generation, Mckean created a culture infused with unbridled manipulative strings over its members. He indoctrinated members live solely for his own self absorbed purpose. I should know since I was once one of them. The ICOC planted a church in every country with a city of a population of a 100,000. His evil empire came crashing to halt when his own daughter rejected his church and left the church in 2002 -03. The church organization as a basically dissolved, after having permanently damaged thousands of lives.
Do you think Kip Mckean would shoulder any of the blame? Do you think he would anything from this adolescence escapade of power mongering? There is no learning curve for stupid.
Rather than doing anything with a slight semblence of rationality, he decided that all the fault was with everyone except himself. If people had committed themselves truly to his fundemental convictions which he himself formulated back in 1979, then the original movement would still be growing according to god's (Kip McKean's) plan. So without missing a beat and a with a slight of hand, he has consigned all the churches of his former movement (ICOC) to hell and has started from scratch to create a "new" movement (same movement, just a new name and a new group of fools who are suckered) called the International Christian Church. You can find out what this gross movement is up to at www.portlandchurchofchrist.org. As I write this, he is sending out mission teams from Portland,Oregon to start new churches around the country to indoctrinate, to manipulate and to enslave new members in the most radical principles of an already guilty religion. Kip Mckean represents the worst of the worst of already horrible religion.
If by chance you happened to be invited to church by a member of this church, please do me a favor. Just spit in their eye for me.

Article: Walsh Jesuit runs past Padua for first victory
At the start of the 2012 season, it's a fair statement to say that not many people would have predicted that the Walsh Jesuit Warriors would start out 0-4.
After four tough losses, the Warriors finally came out on top Friday night, cruising past the visiting Padua Bruins, 35-7, in both teams' North Coast League opener at Conway Memorial Stadium on the campus of Walsh Jesuit.
Walsh came right out of the gate on jumped on the scoreboard, as Sophomore Pat Ford capped off a 63 yard drive with a 33 yard touchdown pass to Senior Crissean Caver, and with Mike Knoll's extra point the Warriors were ahead 7-0 less than two minutes into the contest.
Padua nearly answered right back, as they drove all the way down to the one yard line of the Warriors, before a fumble was recovered by Ryan Budny of Walsh to thwart the Bruins' chance.
"When you get the opportunity on the one yard line like that, you have to punch it in," said Padua Head Coach Tony Shuman. "What a great answer that would have been."
The Warriors took advantage, as they marched down the field with a twelve play, 82 yard drive that was ended when Senior Zach Kordich stormed into the endzone on a one yard scamper, and Walsh led 14-0 after the first quarter.
The Walsh defense was spectacular in the 2nd Quarter, as they held the Bruins to just 25 yards of offense. Immediately after a Padua punt, Senior Doug Lewis tossed a 44 yard bomb to Caver in the endzone, giving the Warriors a commanding 21-0 lead at the half.
"I thought we had opportunities to make plays early on," said Shuman, in his 7th year as head coach at his alma mater. "In the big moments, whether it was a key call or a chance to get on the loose ball, right from the opening kick I feel that that they made some key plays. We weren't able to make key plays. They took what was a tough game where they had the advantage and blew it into a game where the advantage was too big for us to overcome."
Another Padua fumble, this one recovered by Walsh Junior Bryan DiCillo, led to a one yard touchdown run to put the Warriors ahead 28-0. Lewis then intercepted a pass on the ensuing Padua drive, and things did not look pretty at all for the Brown and White of Padua.
"We had to come out in the 2nd half and answer the bell," said Shuman. "Effort wasn't the problem. We had great effort and a tight team out there. We're going to be ready to step up to the next challenge. It's my job as coach and all of our jobs as coaches to find to way to get better."
DiCillo, who has been instrumental for Walsh Jesuit all season, continued to dominate the Bruin defense as he scored on a 21 yard scamper less than four minutes in the final quarter. The Junior finished with 71 yards on 11 carries, in addition to being a part of more than ten tackles on the defensive side of the ball.
"This feels great," said DiCillo of the victory. "We've had a rough season so far so it feels good to come out with a win.
"Our run game was going well and our pass game was going well," continued DiCillo, as the Warriors totalled 249 yards on the ground and 103 in the air. "We did everything right today."
Padua finally got on the scoreboard when Sophomore Nick Medaglia scored on a sweep play, running 26 yards for a Bruin touchdown. Senior Matt Bahnij's successful extra point was the final scoring of the game, leaving the final score at 35-7 Warriors.
Kordich was just as big on both offense and defense as DiCillo was for Walsh, as he ran for 95 yards on 16 carries in addition to numerous tackles. Ford completed three of eight passes for 61 yards.
For the Bruins, Senior Nick Mog completed four passes for 35 yards as well as rushing for 36 yards. Sophomore Brett James was 6 of 12 for 52 yards, and Senior Will Hughes and Medaglia combined for 62 yards on the ground. Seniors Michael Kleem and Brandon Sforzo each recovered fumbles for the Bruins. Senior Vinnie Minosky compiled 162 yards on six kickoff returns.
"You only want one kickoff return per game if you're doing everything right, but unfortunately we had a lot of kick returns today," said Shuman. "That unit did well. The defense at times played real well. Offensively in certain areas we were able to do things and expand our offense."
Walsh Jesuit improves to 1-4 on the year, while Padua drops to 2-4 overall.
"I always tell people, you have to look at teams' schedules and who they play," said Shuman. "North Coast League teams play great teams out of conference. [Walsh] lost to some very good teams and had some tough ball games."
Next up for the Bruins is a home game against the Knights of Archbishop Hoban at Padua Stadium for Homecoming. Kickoff is at 7pm.

Andrews council suspends pair of reserve officers pending review
Steve Clark - Thursday, July 11, 2013 7:31 AM
Andrews Town Councilman Ray Tackett voiced disapproval with two of the town's reserve police officers during the council's Monday, July 8 meeting.
Tackett stated that he believed one of the officers was currently conducting himself in an unprofessional manner and that the other, due to transgressions prior to his employment with the town that have come to light, should not have been hired.
Tackett noted that he had received phone calls from citizens that share his disapproval with the officers and recommended to his fellow council members that both officers be relieved of their duties.
Council President John Harshbarger and Vice President Mike Rohler responded that they would be in favor of suspending the officers while an investigation into each one was carried out.
A motion to suspend the officers passed, with Harshbarger and Rohler voting in favor of it and Tackett opposed.
Council established a protocol for how citizens can get reimbursed for up to half the cost of a sidewalk construction project.
"It encourages residents to upgrade their sidewalk, especially the ones that are in bad disrepair," said Clerk-Treasurer Bill Johnson of the protocol. "The way we set it up tonight, the town basically has full control over both the contracting and the bidding, and to insure the quality of the job by both a pre-pour inspection and a final inspection, before the town will then submit the funding to pay the contractor and then we'll bill the homeowner for half the cost of what the town dispersed to pay for the project."
Johnson said that Bethesda Freewill Baptist Church and a citizen had each brought cost sheets to council that they would like to be reimbursed for. In order to do that, Johnson said that Utility Superintendent Colin Bullock would conduct a pre-pour inspection at the church and a final inspection at the citizen's residence to make sure that the town's specifications were satisfied.
In other business:
Johnson said that an animal ordinance modeled after Markle's would be presented at the council's next meeting.
Andrews Park Team Member Rick Wright presented council with the only bid he received for work to be performed on the park's tennis court. The work would involve mending cracks in the court and council voted to accept the bid.
A public hearing pertaining to the town's vacation of an unimproved portion of Alabama Street to a citizen will be held on Monday, July 22, at 6 p.m., prior to the council's regular meeting.


text: U.S. Senate Urgently Needs to Extend "Medicaid Match" in Economic Recovery Legislation 10-Year Freeze on Mental Health Block Grants Contributes to State Mental Health Crises Feb 24 2010 Washington, D.C.— At a special briefing for Congressional staff today, former Connecticut lieutenant governor Kevin Sullivan testified for the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) on the need for federal action to address the growing mental health crisis in states. "We are facing a trifecta of budget challenges at the state level that is a direct result of America's economic distress," said Sullivan, a member of NAMI's national board of directors. "States are struggling with declining revenues, deep cuts in mental health services for children and adults who live with serious mental illness, and increasing demand for mental health care." Sullivan called for support of an amendment to pending economic recovery legislation planned by Senator Jay Rockefeller (WV) for a six-month extension of a higher "Medicaid match"—which the House of Representatives has passed. He also called for an increase in the $420 million mental health block grant program that has been frozen without increases for inflation for the past 10 years. "The federal government must help," Sullivan said. "Devastating cuts in state mental health budgets ironically are costing states even more through lost jobs and careers, broken families, more homelessness, higher insurance costs, more welfare and much more expensive costs for hospital emergency rooms, nursing homes, schools, police and courts, jails and prisons." "Medicaid especially is a lifeline." "State cuts have come at a time when the need for help is increasing. We've been hit by the worst economic times and highest unemployment in more than 25 years. Unemployed workers report symptoms of severe mental illness four times more than people who still have jobs. Four times as many report thoughts of suicide." "Returning combat veterans also are experiencing very high rates of serious mental illness, suicide, addiction, homelessness and incarceration related to posttraumatic stress disorder." NAMI is the nation's largest grassroots mental health organization dedicated to improving the lives of individuals and families affected by mental illness. NAMI has over 1100 state and local affiliates that engage in research, education, support and advocacy. www.nami.org/stateadvocacy http://twitter.com/namicommunicate http://www.facebook.com/pages/NAMI/85273022315

Alexander Bruce Smith
Going by death records, A.B. Smith would have been born around 1807. He married Mary Ann Simpson in Cruden. They had George Rennie Smith and Alexander B. Smith in 1829 and 1830 respectively in Turriff. I'm keen to know where A.B. Snr was born and who his parents were. I would be grateful for any help. If anyone can find anything about where the Bruce name comes into it that would be great because I still believe that the Bruce in the name tends to indicate that there was a marriage between a Smith male and a Bruce femalem but need to prove it.
Crocker and Churchill - Shoemakers (Cordwainer) Dorset and Hampshire
John Crocker born 1810-1811 in Cornwall married Jane Churchill also born 1811 in Dorset. Married St James, Poole Dorset in 1836. I suspect Jane's father was Frederick Churchill and mother Jane. If anyone can find the mother's surname that would be wonderful. I would also like to find out who the parents of John Crocker were? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Motorcyclist killed, passenger injured when hit by car in Manchester accident
July 12. 2014 10:01PM
Motorcycle accident claims one in city
MANCHESTER - A motorcyclist was killed and his passenger seriously injured Saturday when their motorcycle was hit by a car, police Lt. Michael Hurley said.
The motorcycle was heading east on Goffstown Road at its intersection with Montgomery Street at 4:15 p.m. Saturday when it collided with a 1995 Ford Contour driven by Mary Johnson, 58, of Manchester.
The motorcyclist, who Hurley said was a man, died of his injuries while his passenger, a woman, suffered serious injuries and was flown to a Boston hospital. He said their names were withheld Saturday pending notification of family members.
"At this time, it is unknown if the operator and his passenger were wearing helmets," Hurley said in a statement.
Neither Johnson nor her passenger, Robert Uhmel, 50, of Manchester, were injured in the crash.

History's miniseries "The Bible" ended with a bang on Easter Sunday — but it was no match for the zombies of AMC's "The Walking Dead," which also aired its season finale Sunday.
The "Bible" finale drew 11.7 million total viewers — an impressive number, but it still couldn't catch "The Walking Dead," which amassed 12.4 million total viewers.

The good news for "The Bible," which was executive produced by "Survivor" boss Mark Burnett and his wife, "Touched by an Angel" star Roma Downey, still drew pretty impressive numbers. Sunday night's finale viewership was off slightly from its March 3 premiere, which drew a jaw-dropping 13.1 million total viewers. However, it was up 14 percent in total viewers from last week's episode.
Sunday's "The Bible" finale also drew 3.8 million viewers in the advertiser-cherished 18-49 demographic — a 12 percent boost over last week.And in head-to-head competition with "The Walking Dead" during their common 9 to 10 p.m. hour, "The Bible" actually edged out "The Walking Dead," averaging 12.33 million total viewers, compared to the 12.29 milion that AMC's "The Walking Dead" averaged in the time period.

Nas headlines the 2013 Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival this weekend in Manchester, Tennessee.
The new billboard features a black and white performance shot of Nas along with the quote, "The further I get, the further I want to go" as well as Hennessy's mantra "Never Stop, Never Settle."
Nas was in a great mood and was spotted ordering numerous bottles of Hennessy Luminous, the new limited edition bottle that illuminates and was overheard saying that he was going to "party all weekend."
Playing Life Is Good cuts alongside Illmatic cuts, Nas' narrative offered a bit of the new ("I'm single again… but I"m still out of my mind") and the old ("Sometimes I feel like I'm trapped in the 90s and I wanna put my shit out on cassette").

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. — Josh Freeman stood up in Wednesday's team meeting and introduced himself to his new Minnesota Vikings teammates.
From here, what Freeman does will be a lot more important than what he says — and after everything that transpired the past couple weeks, he's probably said enough anyway.
"I feel like I'm competing against myself, competing against this offense," said Freeman, who was released by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last week and signed a one-year contract Monday that will pay him $2,000,001 if he's on the Vikings roster the rest of the season.
"I like to keep everything focused on what I can do, what I can contribute, and right now, to be able to go out and whether it's taking scout-team reps — whatever it is, whatever I can do to help this team get ready to beat the Panthers."
EXTENSION: Minnesota locks Robison in for four more years
The Vikings plan to work in Freeman slowly and say they won't start him Sunday against Carolina. Coach Leslie Frazier said Freeman likely won't even participate in live practice drills this week while learning an offense that will be "condensed" to soften his learning curve.
At Wednesday's morning walkthrough, Matt Cassel — not Freeman or Christian Ponder, who was starting before fracturing a rib Sept. 22 — took the first-team reps, a Vikings player told USA TODAY Sports on condition of anonymity because he wasn't authorized to discuss the subject.
"I don't expect anything," said Cassel, who led the Vikings to their first win Sept. 29 against the Pittsburgh Steelers before last weekend's bye. "You go out there, you work hard and you see what happens. If Coach calls my number, I'll be ready to go."
Freeman, 25, started 59 games in four-plus seasons with the Bucs — none better than 2010, when he threw for 25 touchdowns with only six interceptions. But he was a shell of that player in three starts before his benching this season, completing 45.7% of his passes with a 59.3 passer rating.
His ugly divorce from the Bucs included a public feud with coach Greg Schiano and accusations about leaking private information. Before the Vikings signed him, Frazier and general manager Rick Spielman both talked with Freeman at length to get comfortable with his situation.
"I've been very impressed just my short time being around him with his knowledge of the game, the way he conducts himself," Frazier said. "He has some real strong qualities that you look for in a quarterback."
Asked to what degree he must prove himself to his new teammates as a person, Freeman said, "That comes with just being yourself. And I'm not really looking back to the things that went into Tampa. But these guys, from what I've seen, what I've been around, guys I know on the team — it's just a great team, great place."
Frazier has said consistently that former first-round draft pick Ponder, 25, remains the Vikings' starter if he's healthy. But the rib injury opened the door at least temporarily for Cassel, who said "there's no tension in the quarterback meeting room" despite the unusual circumstances.
"It's not like we're upset with Josh or Josh is upset with us or anything like that," said Cassel, 31. "It's a management decision, and when you play in the NFL, you know that they're going to bring people in, and it's going to be competition constantly."
Ponder declined comment through a team spokesman who said he'd talk after Thursday's practice instead.
Panthers coach Ron Rivera said his team — which used to face Freeman twice a year in the NFC South — is preparing as if Cassel will start this week, too.
Freeman could take over sooner than later, depending how quickly he gets up to speed. But he echoed Cassel that there's no problem between the team's three quarterbacks.
"I don't even know if you'd call it tension," Freeman said. "It's a very good group of guys — and I've been in a number of quarterback rooms. Only having been with these guys for a day, they're great guys, have good sense of humors. It's definitely a very comfortable atmosphere to learn."

Associated Press
Ed Koch couldn't have chosen a more appropriate song to herald his final farewell to New York City.
Strains of Frank Sinatra's "New York, New York" rang throughout Manhattan's Temple Emanuel on Monday as the colorful former mayor's coffin was carried past thousands of mourners. The packed crowd broke into a spontaneous standing ovation as the coffin made its way out of the synagogue.
Koch died Friday of congestive heart failure at age 88.
Outside the synagogue on Fifth Avenue, Mayor Michael Bloomberg and former Mayors Rudolph Giuliani and David Dinkins held their hands to theirs hearts. NYPD helicopters flew overhead and bagpipes wailed on the freezing afternoon. Bagpipes sounded as the hearse slowly pulled away.
Koch was remembered for a big heart and a big brain and as the quintessential New Yorker.
Recalling Koch as "brash and irreverent," Bloomberg said the man who governed the city during the late 1970s and 1980s must be "beaming" from all the attention created by his death. Koch died Friday of congestive heart failure at age 88.
"No mayor, I think, has ever embodied the spirit of New York City like he did," Bloomberg said.
Bloomberg noted that the funeral was being held near "a certain East River span" — referring to the 59th Street bridge, which was renamed the Ed Koch Queensboro Bridge in 2011.
Describing the bridge dedication ceremony, Bloomberg drew laughter from the crowd as he recalled Koch stood there for 20 minutes, yelling: "Welcome to my bridge!"
Noah Thayer, Koch's grand-nephew, praised Koch as a "doting grandfather" who was devoted to his family. Thayer recalled fond memories of Koch attending elementary school soccer games and getting a manicure with his 11-year-old grand-niece.
"While he knew he was often portrayed a s a lonely bachelor, it didn't matter," Thayer said. "He saw in his family only perfection."
Former President Bill Clinton, who served as a representative for President Barack Obama at the funeral, said the world was a better place because Koch had "lived and served."
"He had a big brain," Clinton said. "But he had a bigger heart."
Former Gov. George Pataki called Koch "a wonderful human being and a great New Yorker."
Speaking to reporters outside Temple Emanuel, Pataki noted that people never had to wonder what the outspoken former mayor was thinking. He said he's not sure a person like Koch will ever come along again.
Six uniformed officers from the NYPD and the fire department were standing alongside his wooden coffin as part of Koch's honor guard.
Koch was a friend of both Bill and Hillary Rodham Clinton, and was helpful during her successful campaign for the U.S. Senate from New York, according to Koch spokesman George Arzt. Koch also backed Hillary Clinton in her presidential run.
The funeral was held at one of the nation's most prominent synagogues, a Reform Jewish congregation on Fifth Avenue. Bloomberg is a member, as are comedian Joan Rivers and former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer.
"I don't want to leave Manhattan, even when I'm gone," Koch told The Associated Press in 2008 after purchasing a burial plot in Trinity Church Cemetery, at the time the only graveyard in Manhattan that still had space. "This is my home. The thought of having to go to New Jersey was so distressing to me."
Koch led his city for 12 years, with a brash, humor-tinged style that came to personify the New York of the 1980s.
The Democratic mayor is credited with helping save New York from its economic crisis in the 1970s and leading it to financial rebirth. But during his three terms as mayor, he also faced racial tensions and corruption among political allies, as well as the AIDS epidemic, homelessness and urban crime.
In his weekly radio address, Bloomberg called Koch "our most tireless, fearless, and guileless civic crusader."
The mayor said his predecessor's "tough, determined leadership and responsible fiscal stewardship ... helped lift the city out of its darkest days and set it on course for an incredible comeback."
He added, "When someone needed a good kick in the rear, he gave it to them."
Koch lost the Democratic nomination for mayor in 1989 to David Dinkins, who succeeded him.
Koch said he was defeated "because of longevity." In his words, "people get tired of you."
But as the votes were coming in, he said he told himself, "I'm free at last."
Also Monday, U.S. Rep. Carolyn Maloney will make a recommendation to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority to rename a Manhattan subway station in Koch's honor.
She will propose that the subway station at East 77th Street and Lexington Avenue be called "Mayor Ed Kochsubway station." She will also announce renaming the street corner there "Mayor Edward I. Koch."
City officials have introduced legislation to officially rename the station.

Would it be possible for me to play the 7th Guest on the Dreamcast. It is a multi disk game and I know that ScummVm doesn't handle those well. How would I get around to playing this on the DC?
I would also be interested in playing The Feeble Files, but that is a four disk game.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Try what I say to do in this topic, including the audio track instructions:
Then burn the files to a new CD and run it on your Dreamcast from there.
I haven't tested The 7th Guest on the Dreamcast, but this should work as all the files I need to run it come up to only 651Mb which fits on a CD.
As far as The Feeble Files goes though, I fear that that may be impossible, at least with the 4-Disc version. I bought it from Good Old Games and it is 2.66Gb worth of important files. Way over the capacity of a CD.
Neither of the Feeble Files versions are possible. It'd require disc swapping, and that isn't possible without adding extra, port specific, code to the Dreamcast branch. I don't think anyone's willing to do this. It would require way more time it's worth, for no recognition or monetary compensation.
For some of the other ScummVM games that are at, or just beyond, the threshold of standard cd-rs size, you could try 99min/900mb cd-rs.
They aren't produced in the US, so you'll have to order them online. I've had mixed results with the self-booting, but they should all work with a boot-disc.
