The Church of Lansante {i.e. Holy Church) was
THE dedicated to St. Briocus, September 25th, 1259. It
CHURCH, comprises a chaucel, nave, north and south aisles
and a vestry. Thp. church of St. Breoke is an ancient
building of granite and freestone, in the Perpendicular style, con-
sisting of chancel with aisles, nave, aisles, south porch and an
embattled western tower, with octagonal battlemented turrets
and crocketed pinnacles, containing six bells ; the chancel retains
the ancient piscina and an aumbry, and there is a piscina in the
south aisle ; the rood stairs remain. The south window in the
chancel is a Memorial to Thomas and Caroline Phillipps,
erected in 1871. The church was restored in 1869, and has 222
sittings. The register dates from the year J 539.

There is an altar tomb of carved slate to the Trefusis family.
"This marble monument faiere though it be,
Trefusis, yet is farre vnfit for thee ;
'Vnfit, because vnlike tliis liard heyune stone.
Thou meek and mild, incidions unto none ;
This base as l^eynge, if traced out of earth ;
Thou generous by descent, of ancient birth ;
And which is most, this fraile and ever wastinge ;
But thou eternall now and ever lastinge.
Only herein this tomb seems like to thee,
As this, so thou in church still lovest to be.
The soules of those whose bodies thus ar spent.
Seated above the starry firmament.

For ever) build it there, where death nor fate
Shall alter or determine his estate."

162 venning's histoeical notices.
Marble and other monuments are inscribed as follow : —
" In memory of the Rev. Charles Mayson. D.D., son of the Rev. Peter
Mayson, M.A., whom he succeeded in the Rectory of Lezant, July 3Ist,
1784. Born at Frome in Somersetshire, he there under the instruction of
his father, an able and judicious master, laid the foundation of those
attainments which he cultivated and exercised as Fellow and Tutor of
Wadham College in Oxford. In after life he was distinguished as a
magistrate by an acute and vigorous understanding, a steadfast loyalty,
an inflexible love of Justice, and an ardent desire of promoting the Pablic
Good. As a neighbour, a master, a husband, and a friend, he was hospit-
able, kind, affectionate, and sincere.
As minister of this parish he zealously preached what he firmly
believed, and diligently practised the pure doctrines and precepts of the
Gospel. Having endured a long and jiainful illness with Christian
resignation and hope, he died on the 14th day of January, 1815 ; in the
63d year of his age."
"In memory of Henry Austen, S.T.P., Rector of Lezant, in Cornwall,
aW Prebendary of the prebend of Stratton, in the County of Dorsett,
who putt on immortality the 'Jth day of January, Anno Domini, 1729."
" Sacred to the memory of the late Reverend Thomas Meyrick, B.A.,
.of Carthamartha in this parish, rector of Covenham St. Mary, Lincoln-
shire, second son of the late Reverend Owen Lewis Meyrick, rector of
Holsworthy, Devon, and descendant of the bouse of Bodorgan in Anglesea.
Fully conscious of the account he must give of the souls committed to
his care, he discharged his duties with unremitting zeal for nearly forty
His bequests to various societies for the relief of the poor were large
and extensive.
He was a man of classical and general learning. His private character
was marked by strict integrity and upright principles.
He bore an illness of three years with fortitude and religious resigna-
tion. He departed this life May 27th, 1841 ; aged 66 years. Requiescat
in pace."
A slate tablet attached to the south wall on the outside is
inscribed :
" Near this place lyeth the body of Fitz-Anthony Pennington, who was
buried the 26th day of January, Anno Domini 1690. Also John, his son
was buried here the first day of September, A.D. 1676."
In the chancel, which is richly ornamented and decorated,
there is a coloured window representing the Crucifixion and the
Last Supper, and a tablet with this inscription : —
" To the glory of God and in memory of John Simmons Tregoning, of
Landue, born April 26th, 1814, died March 31st, 1878, and of Elizabeth
Avery Tregoning, his wife, born July 3, 1806, died October 20th, 1843.
This window and chancel decorations are dedicated 1883."
Although there is not any account in Wesley's
METHODISM, Journal of his visit to this parish, yet it is
stated that he preaclied in a room at Trebithick.
There are two ladies of the name of Budge now living in
Callington, who say that they were informed in their younger
days by their grandmother, who died in her 94th year, that they
were both born in the same house, and one of them in the same
room where John Wesley preached.
In 1810 a Trust was formed at Trebullett, in this parish, and
a Plot of Ground, in Russell's Meadow, with a Methodist Meeting
House belonging to Mr. John Husband, yeoman, were transferred,
and became the property of the Wesleyans. How long before
this date the Meeting House existed cannot be discovered. John
Husband was an old Methodist in 1810, and for many years had
furthered the cause. In the days of Adam Clarke he attended
the preaching at Launceston, and his burly form might have
been seen standing by the youthful minister in the streets, and
once when a rotten egg came whizzing through the air in close
proximity to Adam Clarke's head, John Husband, with much
cleverness, caught it in his hand and saved the preacher from
the stinking missile. At the age of 67, John Husband died, and
was buried in the ground adjoining the Meeting House. In
"Gilbert's History of Cornwall" there is the following record:
— " The Armenian Methodists have a Meeting House at TrebuUet
to which has lately been added a burial ground."
The interment took place amid a large assemblage of spectators,
who came from adjoining parishes. The grave occupies a central
position in the old Burial Ground. The tombstone bears the
following inscription : —
" Sacred to the memory of Jno. Husband, of Trecarrel IMill. As a man he
possessed an inteUi<fent mind, as a Christian he happily enjoyed those
sound principles which reformed his practices. He was liberal in his
sentiments, yet a decided Methodist for 40 years. Retaininif ins confidence
in God and triumi)hin» in hope of Eternal felicity : he died of an impost-
hume, December 2.Sth, 1818.
He gave this plot of ground to be a rei)ository for the dead, in which by
an unerring Providence he was the first to be interred."
Since 1810 the Meeting House has been enlarged to the pre-
tentions of a Chapel, in which many souls have been led to
Christ. In the year 1871 the new Chapel was erected, and the
old sanctuary has been used as a Schoolroom. Amongst the tried
Methodists of this Society, we must name Mr. and Mrs. Sargent,
late of Botonnett, and Mr. and Mrs. Maurice Budge, late of
Trebithick, in this parish.

TKK.CARKEL HAf.L. [Captain L. Chhig, Laiinceston.
The most noted place of antiquity and of
TRECARREL. historic interest in this parish is Trecarrel,
where may still be seen the ivy-clad remains-
of a large Mansion begun by Sir Henry Trecarrel, who resided
here about the year 1540 ; but it was never completed. There is
still standing — as shewn in our illustration — the great Hall
which was built about the same time by Sir Henry Trecarrel,
who was the last of that name. A chapel, dedicated to " St..
Mary Magdalene," was also built by him, and remains complete.
The reason why the mansion at Trecarrel was prevented from
being completed was supposed to be on account of an accident
that occurred, of which we give a verbatim account from the
MS. of W. Harvey, on "The History of Linkinhorne," written
174 years ago : —
" Sir Henry Trecarrell dwelt at Trecarrell, in Lezant. and built the chapel
now standing there, and the great hall also ; and had naade great pre-
paration for a great buildnig there of hewed moor-stone and timber,
and other things. But as the tradition goes, his lady being in travail
for a child, and he being ver.y well skilled in Astronomy and Astrology,
found by his knowledge and skill that if the child were then born it
would die in its infancy by an untimely death, and therefore heartily
begged the woman, then with his lady, to prevent the birth if possible
one hour, which she could not do, but she was brought to bed of a
young son, who in his infancy having a basin of clean water brought
to him to wash his face and hands, by a servant maid, wtio stepping
away to fetch a towel for him — that while he stitied himself in the said
basin of water, and was immediately found dead — which frustrated the
hopes of Ills father, and prevented liis great building at Trecarrell.
Upon which he bestowed the remainder of his time and money in
pious and charital>le uses ; and the stones already carried home at
Trecarrell, he caused to be convej'ed to Launceston ; and the old
church called St. Stephens, being built of freestone and decayed, he
caused to be taken down and rebuilt as it now standeth, and dedicated
to St. Mary Magdalene, about the year 15-li), towards tiie latter end of
the reign of King Henry 8th. He had a design to have rebuilt the
tower also in that space between the church and the old tower, now
there standing, but was i)revented l)y death before it was begun. The
town of Launceston was before that time called Dunheved. The
north side of the church of Linkinhorne with the tower, being then
also in decay, the said Sir Henry Trecarrell caused the remaining part
of the stones, prepared and not brought home, to be brouglit at
Linkinhorne. and with them built the north side of the said church
and tower, causing his coat of arms to l)e there set up. as saith tlie
author ; but whether in the stone work, glass or timber, I never could
Polsue in liis Notes on Harvey's MS. of Linkinhorne, says : —
" Sir Henry Trecarrel, alias Esse, of Trecarrel. in Lezant, was buried at
Lezant. June li'th, 1544 ; his wife was Margaret, daughter and heir of
John Kelway. or Kellaway ; she was buried at the same place. February
12th, lbb'2. 'J'liey left three daughters, co-heiresses ; Katherine the
eldest, married William Harris of Radford, Devon ; Jane, the second,
married Wm. Kelly, of Redcliffe, Devon ; and Oliver, his brother,
married the third daughter whose name is not given. This branch of
the family of Trecaii'el. alias Esse or De Esse, bore for their arms —
Argent. 2 chevrons sable ; — and his wife, the heiress of Kelway. Aigent,
2 bones in saltire sable, between 4 pears ; both coats are sculptured on
the stone work of Launceston Church, but the latter prevails. The
arms of Trecarrel have not been found on the Church at Linkin-
The ancient name of tliis parisli, Lansante, gave name to a
family, as a Deed is still extant, dated 19 Eichard 11. (1395),
between Rogerus de Lansante and Henry Page of Landue, with a
fine seal of the family arms attached. This Koger de Lansante
was also, about the same time, one of the witnesses to a Deed
made by one of the Trecarrels.
''In Lezant jiarisli hereby," writes Carew, " master Christopher Harris
owneth a tliird part of Trecarrell (the jn'oject an onset of a sumptuous
building) as coheire to the last (Jentleman of that name, but admitted
no partner in the sweetly tempered mixture of bounty and thrift,
grauity and pleasantnes, kindnesse and stoutnes ; which grace all his
166 venning's historical notices.
Trecarrel-Js also made famous in history by
KING CHARLES being a resting place of King Charles I. and
AND his army, during the great Civil War of the
TRECARREL. Seventeenth Century. It was at Polston
Bridge, near Launceston, about six miles
from Trecarrel, where the King entered Cornwall on the 1st
x\ugust, 1644, to pursue the army of Essex, who, it is supposed,
crossed the Tamar into Cornwall either at Newbridge, Gunnislake,
or at Horsebridge, in Stokeclimsland. The former is about six
miles, and the latter about four from Trecarrel, in Lezant ; so we
may regard this place as the centre of the seat of war at the
outset of the personal campaign of King Charles; and no doubt
the district of East Cornwall, including Launceston, Liskeard,
Bodmin, Lostwithiel, and Caradon Down, was the scene of many
a bloody battle in which the King huuself took a prominent part.
Trecarrel at tliis time belonged to the Manaton family, who must
have been related to the Trecai'rels ; as the arms of the latter are
on the tomb (the inscription on wiiich we give in our pages) in
Southhill Church, of John Manaton, who died in 1507. The
Manatons had a seat at Manaton, in Southhill, and during the
war Lord Bernard and his troops marched to Southhill, and Lord
Bernard quartered at Mr. Manaton's, of Manaton, in that parish,
■whilst the King stayed at tlie liouse of Mr. Jeane, in Liskeard.
Ambrose Manaton, who entertained Charles I. at Trecarrel,
was M.P. for Launceston in 1640, but was disabled in 1641 and
1643, "for deserting the service of the house being in the King's
quarters, and adhering to the loyalists' party." He died in 1651,
and was buried at Southpetherwin, where a monument to his
memory displays two impalements of arms: Manaton and Resky-
mer, and Manaton and Edgcombe.
Lake in his " Historv of Cornwall " savs : —
'•On the 20th July. 1644, the Earl of Essex entered Cornwall, contrary as
it is said to bis own judgment, losing swayed by the advice of Lord
Robartes and some other Cornish gentlemen, who were sanguine in
their expectations, that by their presence and interest they should be
able to do great matters for the service of the Parliament. E.ssex
passed the Tamar at Newbridge (more likely at Horsebridge) after a
.sharp skirmish with Sir Richard Clrenville. and a party of the King's
forces, who defended the pass. He then took possession of Launceston
and Saltash. Sir. R. Grenville's house, which was garrisoned for the
king, was taken by storm. The General then marched to Bodmin, and
afterwards to Lostwithiel and Fowey, where he fixed his head-
quarters, and summoned the County to come to his assistance. Sir
Richard Grenville retired before Essex's army, and having suffered
some loss in a skirmish at Lostwithiel with Lord Robartes' Brigade,
made good his retreat to Truro. The King having determined to
pursue Essex's army, entered Cornwall on the first of August, at
Polston Bridge."
" Previous!}' to entering the County, the King reminded his soldiers that
they were going among a people who had shown themselves much
attached to his cause, ^nd gave them the strictest caution to abstain
from plunder. The King passed through Launceston and slept at
Trecarrel, in Lezant, the residence of Mr. Manaton, his army being
quartered around liim in the fields."
We now give extracts respecting the Civil War in the District
of East Cornwall and particularly relating to Trecarrel, from the
Diary of Ricliard Bynionds, an Essex gentleman, who on the
out-break of the war joined the Eoyalist standard, and
accompanied the King as one of his lieutenants throughout his
campaign in Cornwall : —
■• l(i4-l. Wednesday. 31 July. — This evening his Majestie with his troop,
Prince Maurice and his troop went to see the passes of the river which
divides Cornwall and Devon. Two bridges pulled up. On Wednes-
day some of Ills hoise and foot entered itito Landson (Launceston), in
Cornwall, all Essex his army being gone thence and no resistance.
This day came a messenger to the King from tSir Richard Urenville to
the rendezvouz and told that Sir Ricliard was MOO strong, and desired
his Majestie to make haste towards him. The King bid the fellow tell
him he was coming with all possible speed with an army of 10.000 foot,
5,000 horse, and 2H ])iece of camion. Prince Maurice his army consist-
ing (out of this number) of 5.000 foot, five-and-twenty hundred horse,
11 piece of cannon."
"Thursday. 1 Aug. — His Majestie marclied to Trecarel in the i)sh. of
L^sant (Lezant), and lay there at the house of Mr. Manaton in com.
Cornubiaj. The whole army lay this night round about this house in
the field. His Majestie, &c.. marclied a!)out 4 in the morning, and
came that night to Liskeard."
"Trecarrel built the house where his Majestie lay the niglit Ijefore, tem.
Hen. 7. 'Tre' signifyes towne. and "carrol' merry or song in Cornish."
"Most of the gentry of this Count}' live towards the south sea. This
part of Cornwall which wee have seene they account barren. The
people speak good and playne Kiiglisli here hitherto. Divers of the
country people come to the King with much joy to tell him of his
enemyes where they lay. and "please his worship.' "
Landue is the I'esidence of J. S. Tregoning, Esq.,
LANDUE. and, as will be seen by our illustration, is beau-
tifully wooded. Landew, or more properly Landu
or Landue, i.e., Lan-Dew, God's enclosure, the churcliyard , or the
sanctuary, was purchased by the late John Siiinnons Tregoning,
father of the present proprietor, of Colonel Paul Phillipps, in
1867, for £15,000, including tlie Mansion and gi-ounds of 400

acres. Colonel Phillipps was the son of the late Thomas John
Phillipps, who long resided at Landew.
The family of Landeu were for a considerable pei'iod the
owners of this place, of whom John Landeu was M.P. for
Launceston, 2 Edward II., 1308; and Walter de Landeu m
the 8th year of the same reign. Another member of the family
represented the same borough, 50 Edward III., 1376.
Landew continued with its owners of the same name until the
Fifteenth Century, when, in the 36th year of Henry VI., 1457, John
Blyghe, of Botathan, the heir of William de Landue, conveyed
the estate to John Page, who appears to have been M.P. for
Launceston, 7 Edward IV., 1467.
It afterwards came to the family of Eoches, of Eoche, and
then it was sold to Thomas Trefusis, whose granddaughters
carried this estate to the family of Edward Herle, of Prideaux,
Luxulyan. It continued in the family of Herle for three genera-
tions. Nicholas, the eldest son of Edward Herle and Mary
Trefusis, made it his residence, and built the front of the present
mansion, which was incomplete and unfinished at the time of
his death in 1682. Edward the eldest son succeeded to the
•estate, and was sheriff in 1713. He married in 1714, Elizabeth
Northmore. He finished the building of the mansion, and was
M.P. for Launceston, 12 Anne, 1713-14. He died in 1721, leaving
an only son, Northmore Herle, who died in 1737, soon after he
attained his majority, and devised his property to his six half-
sisters, the daughters of Dr. Charles Kendall, who had inter-
married with his mother.
Of the daughters of Dr. Kendall, Elizabeth married in 1740,
Adam Pierce, of Exeter ; and Charlotte, in 1753, Humphry
Lawrence, of Launceston ; and in 1806 the sons of these ladies
sold Landue to Mr. William Bant, whose daughters sold it about
the year 1820, to Thomas John Phillipps.
Greston Bridge, a structure of six or seven arches connects this
parish with Bradstone in Devon. It is stated that the bridge
was built by John Palmer, M.P. for Launceston in the reigns of
Henry V. and VI.
Botonnet, described by Norden as " the howse of Mr. Lowre,"
belonged in the time of Charles II. to Charles Martin, gent., and
is now the property of Mrs. Sargent ; the tithes of this estate
are in moieties between the Kector and the University of Oxford.
Carthamartha, the pleasant villa residence of A. B. Collier, Esq.,
is situated near the Tamar, where the banks are steep and rocky,
and the scenery higlily picturesque.
Besides the ancient chapel at Trecarrel, dedicated to St. Mary
Magdalene, there was a cliapel at Landew, dedicated to St.
Bridget, and another supposed to have been at or near the
•churchtown, dedicated to St. Lawrence.
Since the Directory part of our publication was printed, we have
been informed that the Rev. Canon Tovvnend is leaving the Rectory
■of this parish, and has exchanged Livings with the Rev. Rowland
•Cardwell, of St. Peter's, Fulham.
The proper name of this parish is Lankinhorne,
THE which Hals says signifies "a church of iron," and
CHURCH. Bannister, " the Church in the corner." The latter,
as regards the position of its Church in the corner
of the parish, is certainly appropriate. In the Chantry Eolls the
name is Lankynhorne. Linkinhorne, however, is most probably
derived from Llan Tighern — the church of the king, that is, of
St. Melor or Milorus, to whom it is dedicated. It is the finest
church in the neighbourhood and was partly rebuilt by Sir Henry
Trecarrel, Kt. (who also built Launceston Church), in the reign
of Henry VIII. It is a building of freestone and granite in the
Perpendicular style, consisting of chancel — which is modern —
nave of five bays, aisles, south porch, and a well-proportioned
tower arch. The Tower is a substantial structure of cut granite,
said to be 120 feet in height : one of the highest in the County.
It has battlemented turrets, and crocketed pinnacles, and con-
tains six" bells, which were cast in 1805 by the Penningtons of
The rood stairs remain in the north wall. The Font has a
square basin, supported on a central pillar with smaller ones at

the corners, and is probably Norman. An ancient altar stone,
incised with crosses, has been laid in the vestry floor since April
14th, 1891. The chalice, with cover, dates from 1572, and the
paten from 1735. The register dates from the year 1576.
The following description of the Church was copied by the
Publisher from the Church Register : —
'• Th'e Church was dedicated to St. Melor, Mellor, Milor, Mdler, Milorus,
said to be the son of Meliatius. Duke of Cornwall, and martyred in A.D.
411. The Font dates from 12HU — 12'J(). and there was probably a small
Norman Chapel on the site of the present church ; as during the restora-
tion in lyiU. a small i)iece of a Xorman capital was discovered. The south
aisle was probably built about 137i>— ]3'.)(). The nave, 1420—14:50. The
north aisle and tower were built by Sir Henry Trecarrel, in 1521 or 1540.
The arches were spanned by iron bars to keep them upright in 178G, about
which time the church was also probably reseated with unsightl}' square
pews. The Tower was releaved in 1G22. and subsequently repaired and
repointed in 1S77. The oldest seats in Tower date back to 1450. some in
south aisle earl}' in Seventeenth Century, rest aljout 178G, pulpit 17H(>."
The church was restoi'ed, April 14th, 1891, at a cost of £1,214,.
during the vicarage of the Rev. W. il. Poland.

We had the privilege of going to Mexico to serve Bethel Baptist Church in Alhuey, Sinaloa for eight days. I taught eight times during a four-day conference in the church led by Tappan Hornor.
Our podcasts are on iTunes, Google Play, SoundCloud, TuneIn, or Stitcher. If you want to comment on this content, go here.
Eight Times In Four Days
The conference began on Thursday and ran through Sunday morning. I spoke one time on Thursday and Friday nights. Saturday morning I talked to the men in a special meeting. That afternoon I led the youth meeting, as I encouraged them about life decisions.
Sunday morning I taught the men and Lucia led the ladies in a time of instruction. I then spoke at the preaching service. Sunday night we went with Tap and Denise to the church he will be leading soon, and taught at their Sunday night church meeting.
Mexico was like all of our conferences in that I ask the folks to "use me up" during the week because I want to be exhausted for the sake of the gospel. Tap took me up on that. I was whooped by the time I lay down Sunday night in our hotel room in Culiacan, Mexico.
The children said I went to sleep immediately. Hayden asked Tristen, "Is that dad?" He was referring to my snoring in the other room of the hotel. They weren't sure if a plane was landing or a concrete mixer was running in my bedroom.
Creature Comforts
Mexico has a subtle way of reminding me how mighty my sins of grumbling and complaining are. For example, there is no water pressure when you take a shower. The water just "falls out" the showerhead. And it does not matter which handle you turn since both of them give you cold water.
There is a device on the showerhead that allows you to "warm up" the water. The process is (1) turn the water on, (2) turn on the switch that is on the showerhead, (3) take a shower, (4) turn the water off, and (5) turn off power switch on the showerhead. If you get steps #4 and #5 backward, you may get electrocuted.
You can't put your toilet paper in the toilet; it goes in the trashcan that is beside the toilet. Water pressure is a beautiful thing. Denise said that when she visited the states, she nearly jumped out of her skin when she flushed the toilet: it was loud.
You brush your teeth by using bottled water rather than using the sink water. You put a mouthful in your mouth while brushing your teeth. Spit. Repeat.
Then there are the roosters.
All day.
And there are the Mexican entrepreneurs who drive slowly down the streets in the mornings, shouting through a loudspeaker, selling anything from watermelons to petroleum. And everything else. It's kind of like Amazon; you run out of your home to stop one of them so you can buy what you need.
We have "noise rules" against such things in the states. Mexico does not have as many rules. E.g., we did not wear our seatbelts all week. I did enjoy not buckling up.
The thing that was the most rebuking was the happiness of the Christians in Mexico, including the children. The kids between the ages of three and seven were noticeably content, even though they had so much less than the kids in the States. The adults were similar. They love God, which practically transcends creature comforts.

Mexican Food
The food was fabulous. I gained two pounds during the week. Not bad. They don't eat cereal. They eat real food, morning, noon, and night. Of course, the Mexican clock is different from the Amercian clock.
They eat later in the morning. We had lunch around 2 PM most days, and we ate after the church meetings, which was eight o'clock or later. A couple of nights it was difficult to sleep because I was still digesting dinner.
Hispanic is my favorite food, and I think I could eat myself into oblivion. It is excellent and Mexican people know how to prepare their meals. Let's just say, "It ain't Taco Bell."
Teaching Time
Tap had all the lessons translated, which means a typical hour of teaching is about thirty minutes because each statement needs translation into Spanish. It went mostly well, though there were a few funny moments.
The funniest was when Tap leaned over to a hard-to-hear Mexican and asked him, "Can you hear me?" He said it in English. The guy stared at him. Then Tap realized he was asking him in English, not Spanish. We all laughed.
I had three translators: Tap, Brian, and Arno. Arno leads a seminary in Rosarito, Mexico, which is near the American border, many hours away from Sinaloa.
Arno brought a team of students down who served the church all week. They were a huge blessing because of all the cleaning, prep, cooking, childcare, and other church needs during the week. The students were heroes.
The church received my teaching well. There were at least five other churches that joined us for different teaching times. I got to meet several pastors and other church leaders during the week.

text: While visiting the United States earlier this year, Mexican President Felipe Calderon wasted his breath by lecturing Americans about how illegal aliens from his nation-sewer are being mistreated.Like the equally demented Vicente Fox, Calderon stupidly argues that Americans should be grateful to have 38 million, mostly Mexican, illiterate peasants dumped in our laps, for US taxpayers to educate, feed, house, and provide medical care for. At only $100-200 billion a year, it`s quite a bargain, right Felipe? Calderon is also taking a page from the Vicente Fox school of ignorance by declaring that American resistance to the invasion from south of our borders is an obvious case of racism! What both Fox and Calderon conveniently forget to note is that illegal aliens come here on their own--no one is forcing these third-world free loaders and parasites to invade America!Except, perhaps, the corrupt Mexican government!Avoiding mistreatment of Mexican citizens in America is really quite simple, President Calderon. Stop them from coming here to begin, with and take back the 38 million already here!Repeat: Keep your damn garbage in Mexico and it will not be treated like garbage in America! America does not need or want your castoffs.Felipe Calderon, Vicente Fox, and all of the other corrupt thugs in the Mexican government must be forced to accept the following essential truths about America:* In 1848, The Treaty of Guadeloupe Hidalgo was ratified by both the U.S. and Mexican Congresses. That Treaty ended any and all claims Mexico had to land now a part of the United States.* Native American Indians were the original owners of the American southwest. Were there were any valid property rights claims concerning that land, such rights would belong to Native American Indians, not Mexicans.* America is a sovereign nation, totally independent of Mexico. It has been that way for over 200 years. We intend to keep it that way.* In America, Mexico is considered a foreign nation and Spanish is a foreign language.* America operates according to the rule of law which applies to everyone. This is true whether one is brown, black, yellow, lily-white, red, or an exotic hybrid of lavender and green.* Being hard-working and good hearted is commendable. But those qualities do NOT entitle anyone to enter America illegally.* Being bilingual is cool--provided one of the languages is English. Literacy in only Spanish is not cool here.* Celebrating one`s cultural heritage is perfectly fine--as long as it does not interfere with prompt and complete assimilation into American culture.* Driving while loaded or drunk may be "macho" in Mexico. But in America, it is considered stupid and criminal and is not tolerated, regardless of ones country of origin or cultural heritage.* People here illegally are criminals, and as such, are most unwelcome. American citizens will fight to have such miscreants deported, regardless of whether or not families are involved. Illegal is illegal, family or not.* Demanding that our borders be secured and that the law be enforced is the right of all American citizens and doing so does not make any one a racist or bigot.* U.S. immigration laws exist to protect American citizens and others that are here legally, not to facilitate a foreigner`s pursuit of a better life.* Those who come to America must adjust to our culture and traditions. We have no obligation or desire to change in deference to foreign newcomers, and* Brown may be beautiful in Mexico, but in America, we are partial to colors that symbolize freedom under the rule of law. That would be Red, White and Blue.Take note of this list Messrs. Calderon and Fox. Share it with other Mexicans considering an invasion north.Passing it on may cause them to reconsider, and that would be a great thing!

Warp Pots are items from The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. As their name implies, they are big cauldron-like pots found inside dungeons; when Link jumps into one, he is transported to other Warp Pots found inside the same dungeon, allowing him to easily transport himself. However, Link can only warp to Warp Pots he has already encountered, some of which are blocked by wooden planks which Link must remove using a Bomb, burning Boko Stick, Jump Attack, Skull Hammer, or Fire Arrow. Jumping into a Warp Pot when Link has not unlocked others merely causes him to jump back out again.
All dungeons contain a total of three Warp Pots, which are typically found in the first proper room of a dungeon, at a midway point, and near the lair of a dungeon's boss. While otherwise similar, Warp Pots can be told apart by the color of the fumes that emanate from them; these are green, blue, and yellow. Commonly, the pots found near the beginning are green, the ones found in the middle section are blue, and the ones near boss rooms are yellow. Warp Pots also direct Link in this very order; if Link enters a yellow pot, he is transported back to the blue one.
Warp Pots can also be found in the Hidden Hole on Diamond Steppe Island. Unlike the Warp Pots found in dungeons, the ones found in this Hidden Hole all have the same colored fume. Also, some will lead Link to new Warp Pots he has not yet seen, while many will send him back out the first first pot. These Warp Pots are used to navigate a maze around the wreckage of several ships, from which Link must find the Ghost Ship Chart.
A pair of purple fumed warp pots are also found in Ganon's Tower, allowing Link to warp from the bottom of the room in which he fought Puppet Ganon to higher up in the room's rafters.

Tag : Black Plank Dining Table
Luxury Black and white French Round Back Dining Chairs by Lucy and Company
By Bruce WayneThe idea of color combination I can see in this dining room design is really nice. It does not only make the entire room feels warmer. Instead, it also creates such an inviting atmosphere in the same room. Although it is so, it cannot be denied that there are several things that should be reconsidered here because those are not really suitable to the height or the room that is quite low. The things meant here are nothing else but the high-back chair and also the long chandelier above the table. Since the room looks rather small too, it would be nicer if the number of chair in there is reduced when not really needed.

Question: Do Jewish people believe in the doctrine of original sin?
Answer: The Jewish do not believe in the doctrine of original sin. This is a Christian belief based on Paul's statement, "Therefore just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men, because all sinned" (Romans 5:12). The doctrine was fully developed by the church father, Augustine of Hippo (354-430).
Out of all that's written, they believe this, and place their doctrine in just one verse
It is alleged that only acceptance of Jesus as savior from sin can redeem a person from sin. All those who do not accept Jesus as their savior from sin are condemned to eternal suffering in hell.
By Gerald Sigal
Whether man is a sinner by nature or not is immaterial. Judaism teaches the biblical way to repentance and reconciliation with God. Sincere repentance in which the sinner pledges to rectify his sinful ways and lead a righteous life is one means that is open at all times to all of humanity (Jonah 3:5-10, Daniel 4:27). God counsels Cain, "Why are you annoyed, and why has your countenance fallen? If you do good [that is, change your ways], will it not be lifted up [that is, you will be forgiven]. But if you do not do good, sin rests at the door; and it desires you, but you may rule over it" (Genesis 4:6-7). God informs Cain that repentance and subsequent forgiveness are always open to him. The remedy for sin is clear. Biblically, God's loving-kindness depends on right conduct and extends to all humanity.

Salaamaleekum! I hope the weather is not too brutal over there, because IT IS HERE. Waiting, waiting for the rains. We get a rain storm once every 2-weeks. The same thing happened last year and most of the crops failed. DO A RAIN DANCE FOR ME! I'm serious, try it. Until the rains, it's just freaking hot. That's what I get for living in West Africa, on the equator!
Hm.. updates. Let me get business out of the way. I have A LOT of projects going on right now.
Most of them involve funding of some sort. Mostly, I find grants online or through Peace Corps & charities. For those that don't follow the requirements of a grant, I have to ask friends and family for money. Trust me, this is the last thing I wanted to do as a Peace Corps Volunteer. However, all projects need funding of some sort, and "I ain't got no money" (story of my life). I am posting a link to a webpage of a water-charity project. These women have busted there asses working with me, as I with them. It's time to help them out just a little bit more. Check it out. Help if you have the means!
http://appropriateprojects.com/node/1205 (whoo! Meaningful work!)
http://appropriateprojects.com/node/1205 (whoo! Meaningful work!)
Other news.
1. The health school is my village is complete. We conducted final interviews to measure the success of the project in the eyes of the women and village leaders . Our closing ceremony is on Sunday (PARTY!) I am going to eat a lot of yummy rice, dance like a chicken with its head cut off, and hand out prizes to all the dedicated women who were involved in the project. THANK YOU FOR YOUR EMOTIONAL SUPPORT America, I can feel your love across the Atlantic.
2. Well-projects. Everyone needs water. Most people here can't just turn on a tap and out pours water. People get their water for drinking, domestic use & gardening through wells. Yes, like a pulley-system and (wo)man power. I wish you all could see it. I currently have 2-different well projects going on to get some people drinking water and water for their gardens.
3. Painting. Been continuing to paint educational pictures and things at my friend's village. She is painting in her school, like letter sounds and associated pictures. I love painting. It's quite intimidating, but the second my fingers touch that paint, it's nothing but fun! I swear I'll post pictures on FaceSpace at somepoint soon.
4. Working with trying to build gardens and whatnot. Food is not plenty in this country. I like to see full-bellies and healthy babies. It takes a lot of money though, so I've been writing grants and such. I'm going to be REALLY good at asking for money when I get back. You sure you want to be my friend when I come back to America? Peace Corps Volunteers "ain't got no money!"
Other than like legit projects, once the rains hit, I'll be in the field with my family. We mostly farm cous and groundnuts, but also things like corn & a teensy bit of rice. It's.hard.fucking.work. I wish everyone had to grow their own food, then maybe they would appreciate shit. I love being so close to my food-source, growing foodstuffs and eating what I've grown. The other day I went out with my family to collect Baobab leaves to put in the lunch bowl. They are so tasty that I just ate the leaves right off the tree. Also, bush mango = dank. It "blocks me up", but is so delicious – and they're so plentiful, all over the ground and ready to fall into my stomach. One of the women who cook in our compound climbed like 30-feet in a Baobab tree to get the leaves. I didn't have my camera, but it was EPIC – something I will never forget.
I have about 8-months left and still go back and forth every single day about whether or not I want to extend. I could live like this for a long time to come, but I have to consider students loans, friends, family and love interests. I just don't know if I left that I'd ever have the means to come back, probably cuz "I ain't got no money." Ha, I love sayin that in the way my brother says it (ghetto & southern).
Take care guys. And for real, check out that link up there ;) Help a sister out.

When you consider doing business with a company, it's common to look up their online reviews. It's only natural to want to hear what others have to say about the service, competency, or experience. As a business, it's critical for you to have a online customer service strategy in place.
Business owners often have a love/hate relationship with reviews and the online customer service that goes along with them. On one hand, they offer a space for patrons to sing your praises. On the other, you can't please everyone – nor can you control what they write online about you. That's why it's incredibly important to have a strategy to handle negative reviews.
This is how you sometimes WANT to respond in an online customer service environment
4 tips for how you SHOULD respond with online customer service
1. Keep it professional – While it's tempting to defend yourself or recount the details of the customer's behavior during the experience in question, it's rarely a good look. Nor is suggesting the reviewer go play in traffic, take a flying leap, cry to their mama, or anything else that would be incredibly satisfying to say but not in your professional best interest. No one ever wins when debating online.
2. Do your best to take it off-line – Offer to call the reviewer, ask the reviewer to call you, or suggest they stop in to talk to a manager. Words on a screen are subject to dramatic interpretation (thank you Jimmy Fallon and Aziz Ansari for the perfect example). Real people having a real conversation resolve problems. Plus, by publicly offering to connect with the reviewer you convey that you're interested in hearing about their experience and you're making yourself available to them. If they choose not to engage further with you, that's on them.
3. Have a few templates ready to deploy – You can't please everyone. Say it aloud with me. "I can't please everyone." There will be reviews that are worthy of a investigation and those that aren't. Start with these three responses and customize them as necessary.
- "Thank you for letting us know about your experience. We'll look into it."
- "Thank you for sharing thoughts about your visit. We strive to satisfy our customers. Please call us or come in to speak with a manager so we can learn more."
- "Thank you for your thoughtful feedback. Sometimes criticism of our services is hard to hear, but it often leads to positive change. We appreciate your willingness to give us that opportunity to improve."
4. When you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all – Your mom wasn't wrong. When you've attempted to reach out to the reviewer, yet they continue to berate you online, don't engage. Trust us on this – going toe-to-toe in the virtual world with a reviewer who is intent on making you look bad is NEVER a good idea. You'll come off as defensive, immature, and easily provoked, even if none of those characterizations are accurate. A virtual argument will speaker louder than the most glowing of reviews. Disengage totally.
Did someone leave a negative online review for your business? How did you handle it?

This densely populated country is affected by many problems like political instability, floods, poor infrastructure, inadequate power supply and corruption.
This sovereign state in Southeast Asia is one of the world's most impoverished nations. Its economy depends on agriculture and export trade. Economic mismanagement is one of the main reasons for poverty in Myanmar.
The war in this nation, preceded by years of conflict, has had immense negative impact on the standard of living of its people. Complex international governance and insurgent attacks have made Afghanistan the poorest country in Asia. Life in this country is a major struggle for its people, especially for women and children. The nation faces major challenges like lack of health-care facilities, poor infrastructure, substandard sanitation and lack of clean water.
Poverty is a menace in above-mentioned nations. However it is encouraging to note that leaders of some of these nations are committed to eradicate this evil.

Burned Out Signs
|Lately I've developed a strange obsession with photographing burned out signs. I think it started when I was taking the train to New York last weekend. I was watching the scenery go by out the window, and I saw that someone had knocked out a bunch of letters on a Home Depot sign so that it said "HOMO." It struck me as an awful lot of work to do for such a stupid word, especially since it was separated by a huge space in the middle. I speculated that perhaps some of the letters were already missing. That got me thinking about better words to spell within "Home Depot," but I couldn't really think of any. For the rest of the weekend, though, whenever I saw a lighted sign, I tried to come up with interesting words that could be created by selectively blacking out the letters.
|Actually, I sighted one of my favorite such signs a couple of years ago, on a trip to New Orleans. We got lost in a bad neighborhood, and we saw a Shell gas station with the S burned out. It seemed oddly appropriate.
Lately I've been going running along the river in the evenings, and tonight I brought my camera along. I decided to take a tour of the burned out signs of Boston by night.
|The first burned out sign I encountered was in front of the Polaroid building. The only reason this one is funny is because they recently declared bankruptcy, which I suppose is why they no longer maintain their sign. Though I guess I could make some sort of joke about them being "po'."
|There's a giant glowing Citgo sign in Boston alongside the river near Fenway Park. As if to challenge the Citgo sign, Shell put up a sign on the other side of the river. It reminds me of my late night runs along the Mississippi a few summers ago — there are also two competing signs facing off across the river there, only instead of signs for gas stations, they are signs for rival brands of flour — Gold Medal and Pillsbury.This sign has the H burned out instead of the S. I can't think of what that could mean, except for perhaps a subtle message to stockholders.
|The burned out letters on the Marriott sign in Kendall Square struck me as a good way to illustrate the advantage of redundancy in system design. Notice how the sign degrades gracefully; when an R or a T burns out, the sign will still read roughly the same way. They really should have gone all the way and named their hotel the Mmaarriioott.
|This one doesn't require much commentary. I think the lesson here is that you should never purchase a lighted sign if your business is named something like "Glass Wholesalers" or "Hardy's Clocks." If there is an offensive substring within your name, people will find it.

Ivanka Trump's security clearance was upgraded to full Top Secret at the same time as Jared Kushner's upgrade on May 1, according to a person briefed on the matter. The White House declined to comment on this story.
Why it matters: Ivanka's security clearance status hasn't always been known, and there was speculation she wouldn't obtain full security clearance after CNN reported the FBI was investigating one of her international business deals back in March.

I don't know how I always manage to schedule my vacations at the end of the month, but here I am creating the zine from a new city.
Last February I designed the zine in Kelley Nikondeha's living room in Phoenix. This month, I find myself parked on a little leather couch in Nashville next to Bethany Suckrow. Worth it.
I hope you enjoy this little snapshot of September as we sink into Autumn weather (and Spring weather in the southern hemisphere).

For a product manufacturing company, it is very imperative to take proactive safety measures in advance as they help them to curb hazards inside the premises. Proactive measures are very essential to protect workers from any physical harm. Industries which do not take proper safety measures are also levied heavy fine. If you are a proud owner of manufacturing industry and want to secure the interests of your workers then it is advised to consult companies which provide genuine COSHH assessment template.
Why should you take the help of templates?
Through the help of templates, you will be able to get industry specified data sheets which will help you to properly curb the hazard caused by different raw materials viz. glass, silica, saw dust etc. Templates will give you an idea about how to properly identify risks and hazards in a working place.
- In the initial phase, you are supposed to take a detailed walk inside your manufacturing industry and look for the substances which may cause severe health issues.
- During the second step, you are also advised to look at the byproducts which are harmful if they get in contact with your workers viz. flames of a welding machine, quarrying dusts etc.
Some protective measures
You are supposed to plan a genuine method to clean your manufacturing industry as most of the time workers are prone to get exposed to risks during the process. It is essential to make your workers wear genuine gears during cleaning. To protect your workers from breathing ailments you are advised to make them vacuum the place first.

White Lightning® is the active Chlorine Dioxide (ClO2) solution to Thrush, Skin Fungus and White Line Disease. Chlorine Dioxide has been demonstrated to be bactericidal, fungicidal, virucidal and sporicidal while remaining harmless to healthy tissue.
It is available in gel and liquid form
White Lightning® is safe to use, and unlike hypochlorite, does not produce toxic byproducts. Chlorine Dioxide is so safe, it is routinely added to orange juice and other consumer foods and beverages to kill contaminants and prevent spoilage. Chlorine Dioxide is even used by dentists in periodontal work. Not only is ClO2 safe, but it is up to seven times more effective than chlorine bleach.
Chlorine Dioxide is an unstable gas, meaning it cannot be stored in a container, but rather must be generated when needed. In the liquid form this is accomplished by adding equal amounts of White Lightning® to a mild acid such as white vinegar. A chemical reaction then occurs generating ClO2. After a period of time, all gas is released and the resulting liquid is inert and totally harmless. In the case of the White Lightning® Gel, the same reaction occurs.

Alvin and Janet moved to Saddle Hills County in the early 1980s, establishing a grain farm in the Cotillion area north of Bonanza.
Here, they raised four children and have enjoyed being part of a great community, having been involved with minor hockey, the Cotillion Rec Association, the Savanna and Bonanza fairs, and the local 4-H club over the years.
These days grandkids have become pretty special and they enjoy spending time with them whenever they can.
Alvin has been on council for the last ten years and appreciates your continued support. He looks forward to the upcoming term and hopes that together we can build a safe, strong, sustainable community.
Kristen Smith and her husband have built their own farmstead in Silver Valley, Alberta where they are raising their four children. Kristen was born and raised in Fourth Creek, Alberta on a cattle/grain operation.
Kristen and her husband have a cattle/grain small farming operation, and both work off the farm. She was previously employed at Saddle Hills County for 7 years working in Community Development and as an Assessor before resigning and becoming a councillor.
She believes in strong, active communities and has always enjoyed volunteering and being an active community member. Kristen hopes to use her municipal government experience and knowledge to proudly serve the residents of Ward 3 and the County as a whole.
I have lived in Bay Tree for over 30 years. My wife, children and I have a commercial Simmental cow/calf mixed farm, as well as a small equipment contractors business.
In the past I sat on Improvement District #20 (Saddle Hills County) Council for 9 years from 1986 - 1995.
With your continued support and input, I look forward to another term on council.
Councillor Armagost has lived on the same farm in Ward 4 since his parents homesteaded the land back in 1964. He, his wife Betty and their son Michael currently conduct a mixed farm and ranching operation on the property.
Throughout his life, Councillor Armagost has viewed public service as an important part of community life. He has served as both a member and Chief of the Savanna Fire Department, as a member and President of the Savanna Ag Society, and, both as a member and Chair of the County's Agricultural Services Board.
Councillor Armagost believes it is important to give back to the community he has called home his entire life.
My wife, Debbie, and I moved our family to the Blueberry Mountain area in 1976. Together with our son, Danny, and his family, we operate our family farm.
Our daughter, Glory-Dawn, works in the Oil and Gas Industry and lives in Peace River. She is engaged to Neil Griffin who works in the Pulp and Paper Industry. Her daughter, our first granddaughter, is a hair stylist in Grande Prairie.
Our son also works in the Oil and Gas Industry in Saddle Hills County. Our daughter in law, Rebecca, is actively involved with several organizations in the region. Three of their four children currently attend the Savanna school.
Saddle Hills County has been a great place to raise our family. We cherish the "country life ". Relatives and friends, living in the city's hustle and bustle, are drawn to the nature, fresh air and wide open spaces. Family gatherings and celebrations have become something of a tradition "at the farm ".
Saddle Hills County and the surrounding region is a great place to live and work. We have the people and the resources it takes to develop and maintain an even stronger diverse economic environment while preserving the lifestyle we all enjoy. I am looking forward to contributing in the decisions and efforts that will be required.
I was born and raised in Spirit River. In 1973 I bought my farm in Happy Valley. In 1977 I married my wife Lori, a farm girl from Rycroft and we have two daughters and four granddaughters.
We started out grain farming as I worked on the oil rigs in the winter months for 19 years, then eventually staying home and raising cattle. I play hockey for both the 50+ and the Old Timers team and occasionally play with the Savanna team.
I served two terms as a director on the Peace Country Beef and Forage Association. I have served as the Happy Valley Fire Chief for the past 14 years and a member for more than 20 years. I previously served on the REA Board. I was also vice-president of the Happy Valley Surface Rights Association.
John grew up on a farm. Later on he raised cattle and grain farmed. John moved to Woking in the early 1980's. He hauled gravel and has done backhoe work in Woking and surrounding areas for several years. John has a son and daughter who attend Ste. Marie Catholic School in Spirit River. John is a member of the Woking School Parent Council.
He is also a volunteer and a director on the Woking Skating Rink Association. John has been on Saddle Hills County Council since 2006 and takes pride in serving his community.

Detection of Fecal Contamination on Cantaloupes and Strawberries Using Hyperspectral Fluorescence Imagery
Vargas, Angela Maria
Tao, Yang
Kim, Moon
MetadataShow full item record
Fluorescence methods are widely used for investigation of biological materials, and in recent years have also been used to monitor food quality and safety. In this research, fluorescence imaging techniques for detecting fecal contamination on cantaloupes and strawberries were evaluated. Fluorescence images at emission peaks were examined for fecal classification. These images were subjected to further analysis utilizing band ratios and principal component analysis. Two-band ratio images and principal component images, compared to the single-band images, enhanced the contrast between the feces-contaminated spots and untreated sample surfaces. The images exhibited useful results for contamination detection, however, false positives resulting from natural color variation on strawberry surfaces present a problem throughout the methods. This study confirmed the capability of hyperspectral fluorescence imaging in detecting fecal matter on cantaloupes and strawberries and the potential for this method to be used for developing on-line applications.

It's that time of year again! Ubuntu release time! Ubuntu 16.04 is out. It is because of this new release, we thought we'd go over some of the major new things being brought to this release.
Please note that this article goes over the most notable changes and features of Ubuntu. There may be other features for Ubuntu 16.04 that are not listed.
So, what's new?
Every first even-numbered release of Ubuntu is a long-term support. This means that Ubuntu 16.04 is the latest long-term version of Ubuntu, complete with the latest packages, an ultra-stable kernel and rock solid support for five years.
Long-term support releases are a huge deal, as a large number of Ubuntu users do not use odd-number releases (e.g. 15.04, etc.). Most find themselves going LTS to LTS, be it in businesses or for personal use. This makes 16.04 the next release after 14.04.
New Kernel
Having a new kernel in a Ubuntu release isn't anything new. Every single release, Canonical chooses a kernel to go with, and then sticks with it. This time, Ubuntu 16.04 is offering up Linux kernel 4.4 as an LTS release.
This is the underlying reason why Canonical chose this version and not something newer like version 4.5. Every couple of Linux kernel releases, an LTS version is released. The reasoning is similar to Ubuntu's own: stability.
The latest kernel updates are nice. Just ask Arch Linux or Open SUSE Tumbleweed users. Still, a staggering amount of Ubuntu users are production users. This is why the LTS kernel is so important. You need rock-solid features, but you also need stability in an environment where anything could happen.
New features in kernel 4.4 include 3D support for virtual GPUs, support for open-channel SSDs, lockless TCP listener handling, loop device support for both Direct I/O, as well as Asynchronous I/O.
New Package Manager
Ubuntu 16.04 marks the first version of Ubuntu Linux that marches away from Apt-get. You can check out the differences between Apt and Apt-get here.
Apt doesn't outright replace Apt-get in Ubuntu 16.04. You can still use
apt-get, but it's no longer treated as default on the system. However, it's clear that in the future Canonical is planning on dropping Apt-get for Apt.
It comes with some great new features such as improved search, a loading bar when unpacking packages, faster installations, simplified commands, and improved security.
Snap Packages
Snap packages is a new feature introduced to Ubuntu that makes maintaining and installing packages much easier. You can search and install snaps by just opening up a terminal, and entering
snap find packagename.
Note: you'll need to install snap first.
sudo apt install snap
This will allow you to search through all of the snaps in the Ubuntu snap package store. Install them with the following:
sudo snap install packagename
Snaps make it easy for developers to deliver newer software to Ubuntu, an operating system that often freezes its repos. The technology does this by allowing program creators to contain everything inside an installable binary. For example, if you install a snap package that contains Gnome 3.20, it'll contain everything that Gnome 3.20 requires. This means dependencies, program code and everything, entirely self-contained and independent of the system.
Software projects evolve fast, and Canonical feels that the current way programs are delivered on its operating system isn't up to the task anymore. They just can't keep up, so they felt the need to supplement their system of PPAs and repositories with this new feature.
As of Ubuntu 16.04, the operating system now comes with the ability to use ZFS. For those who are unfamiliar, ZFS is the file system widely deployed on FreeBSD systems. It is fairly popular in the enterprise space and has support for snapshots and other compelling features.
This feature has been a longtime coming, as ZFS can already be used on Linux with the help of some third-party installation methods. ZFS fans will be happy that they can choose their favorite file system during installation.
Online Results Disabled by Default
For a while now, Ubuntu has had "online results" enabled in the Unity dash. If you searched for something in the Dash, you'd also be met with pesky Amazon suggestions. This is a controversial feature and one that free software advocates have criticized since its introduction.
In Ubuntu 16.04 this feature has been shut off by default. If you're in the minority and you actually like seeing Amazon search results in the Dash, you'll now have to enable them to see them in Settings.
Moving the Unity Launcher
For the longest time, Ubuntu's Unity refused to let you move or modify it hardly at all. This changes in Ubuntu 16.04. Using a tweaking tool in this release of Ubuntu allows you to move the Unity launcher to the bottom of the screen.
Though a hidden feature, it's neat none-the-less. Considering that the Unity dock takes up a lot of space, many people have often wished they could change the location of the panel, so it could be used more efficiently.
Moving it to the bottom of the screen it an easy process. If you're interested in knowing exactly how to do this, check out this article.
Ubuntu 16.04 is an exciting release with a lot of fascinating changes. Canonical is on a roll with all of the new changes to their operating system as of late. We don't yet know the full impact of these, but time will tell.
What's your favorite new thing introduced in Ubuntu 16.04? Tell us below!

Full-size keyboard. New CULV processor based on Core i7 technology. Excellent battery scores. Travel-friendly. HDMI included. Top of the class performance scores.
Undersized touchpad and mouse buttons. A bit pricey.
Bottom Line
The Acer Aspire AS1830T-68U118 is an 11-inch laptop that runs on an Intel Core i7 Consumer Ultra-Low Voltage (CULV) processor and delivered over 8 hours of battery life.
The 11-inch laptop space got a little more interesting when the Apple MacBook Air (11-inch) ($1,199 direct, 3.5 stars) made its entrance, but that doesn't make it the best Consumer Ultra Low Voltage (CULV) laptop for your money. Though it isn't nearly as beautifully designed or as wafer-thin as the MacBook Air, the Acer Aspire AS1830T-68U118 ($900 street) is one of the most powerful laptops in the CULV category. The processor has since been updated to a 1.46GHz Intel Core i7-680um, yet the battery lasted well into the 8 hour range. It's a lot pricier than a netbook, but convincingly cheaper than the MacBook Air.
Similar Products
Instead of applying a reflective coat to its plastic chassis, Acer went with a textured surface that has the feel of a leather wallet. Alienware designed the M11x (Core i7) ($1,175 direct, 4 stars) in a similar fashion, except the alien theme is a hundred times more menacing and its plastic chassis is coated with a rubbery texture. Compared with the MacBook Air's exquisite construction, though, the AS1830T-68U118 and the Alienware M11x look like little giants. Aluminum is the material of choice for the 2.3-pound MacBook Air, since it's so thin and light; at 3 pounds, the AS1830T-68U118 (3 lbs) is over a half-pound heavier, though it's still light compared with many of its peers.
The 11.6-inch widescreen hasn't changed since we reviewed the earlier model, the Acer Aspire 1830T-3721 ($700 street, 4 stars), which is the same size as the one found in Air (11-inch) and M11x. CULV-equipped laptops like the Asus UL20FT-A1 ($630 direct, 3 stars) and Toshiba Satellite T235-S1350 ($630 direct, 4 stars) have bigger 12.1- and 13.3-inch widescreens, respectively, which are geared toward productivity-driven users. An 11-inch screen is meant to be used with one application window at a time. The full-size keyboard is as spacious as the one found in bigger CULVs, like the T235-S1350, whereas the ones found in the Asus ULFT-A1 (96% of full size), Dell Inspiron M101z ($580 direct, 3.5 stars) (92%), and Alienware M11x (92% of full size) are more cramped. The MacBook Air (11-inch) also has a comfortable full-size keyboard. A full-size keyboard leaves little room for the navigating components, but Acer wrapped the mouse buttons around the front bezel and did its best to maximize the size of the touchpad. However, they're considerably smaller and inferior to the navigating experience found in the MacBook Air and Toshiba T235-S1350.
Ports and features exceeded expectationsat least for an 11-inch laptop. It has an HDMI port, which shows up more often on 11-inch laptops than you think. By comparison, the Alienware M11x comes with both DisplayPort and HDMI, while the MacBook Air tosses in DisplayPort onlyall technologies that stream both video and audio to an HDTV or external display. The AS1830T-68U118 made room for 3 USB ports and included all the usual laptop connectivity options, such as a multimedia card reader, Ethernet, VGA, and audio ports (mic, headphone). The MacBook Air, on other hand, doesn't have a media card reader or Ethernet. The AS1830T-68U118's pair of speakers is located on the bottom beneath the palm rests and lacked any bass or oomph. You can get better sound quality from the ones on the MacBook Air and Alienware M11X. The AS1830T-68U118's svelte dimensions didn't leave room for an internal DVD burner, although it's not like you'll find one in any one of its competitors, which includes the 13-inch Toshiba T235-S1350.
It was only recently that Intel updated its CULV processors to its latest Core technology. Since then, only a handful of systems have used these processors, as they're still pricey. The MacBook Air (11-inch) actually uses a previous-generation Intel Core 2 Duo processor, while the Dell M101z opted to go with AMD components. The Intel Core i7-680um in the AS1830T-68U118 is as fast as they come in the CULV space, as fast as the one found in gaming ultraportable like the Alienware M11x. And unlike netbooks, which average 1GB of memory, and the MacBook Air, which had a 2GB base, the AS1830T-68U118 comes standard with 4GB of DDR3 memory.
Handbrake, which measures the time it takes to transcode a video, favored the AS1830T-68U118, with a score of 4 minutes 12 seconds; the MacBook Air (23:23) took almost 6 times longer to finish this test. The AS1830T-68U118's Cinebench R11.5 (1.88) and Photoshop CS5 (6:03) results beat out the competition, including the almighty Alienware M11x. PCMark Vantage (4,869), which measures overall performance, beat out the MacBook Air (4,226). The only thing that the AS1830T-68U118 doesn't qualify as is a gaming laptop, as its Intel GMA graphics are more conducive for online 2D games. You'll get much better graphics performance with the Alienware M11x or MacBook Air (11-inch), which use Nvidia chipsets.
CULV processors are supposed to offer the ideal balance between speed and energy efficiency, but I would argue that the scale leans heavily toward the latter. With a 58WH battery (6-cell), the AS1830T-68U118 lasted longer than every other laptop in its class, with a MobileMark 2007 score of 8 hours 31 minutes. At 8 hours 16 minutes, the Toshiba Satellite T235-S1350 deserves an honorable mention in this category.
The CULV class is growing in response to the demand of powerful components packed into a netbook-like frame. The Acer Aspire AS1830T-68U118 is as fast as it is small, earning top marks in all of our benchmark tests. Best of all, the bump in speed didn't affect battery life whatsoeverit has the endurance to last through a three-legged flight. Still, it's an 11-inch laptop, which means it's not as productive as one with a bigger screen. The 13-inch Toshiba Satellite T235-S1350, our Editors' Choice, is almost as battery efficient and costs $250 less.

AUGUSTA, Ga. – No. 6 USC Aiken rallied past Augusta State Wednesday night to take a 4-1 final score in extra innings at Lake Olmstead Stadium in the first meeting of the Outback Cup.
The Pacers (26-5) placed men on the corners in the second inning and loaded them in the fifth, but ASU (10-22) starter Josh Barks (0-2) escaped both innings to allow no runs. Barks pitched his longest outing of the season in 8.0 innings, surrendering one run on 10 hits and striking out eight.
Ross Miles turned it on for the Jaguars with an RBI-double in the fifth to score Nate Crown for a 1-0 advantage. Barks got out of another jam in the sixth when he left two runners on base with a pop up and strikeout. In the top of the eighth, Ty Barkell stroked an RBI-double to right field to even the game at 1-all, but Barks left men on the corners with his eighth strikeout of the night.
Tyler Ross relieved Barks in the ninth to keep the tie game intact with a fly ball to left. In extra innings, Ross gave up a solo homer to Barkell, which brought in Clint Echols to the hill for ASU. Echols gave up an RBI-double to his first batter for a 3-1 Pacer lead. USCA compiled three runs on four hits in the 10th inning to take the night 4-1.
Ross (1-1) took the loss in 2.0 innings, allowing three runs on four hits, while Pacers hurler Taylor Grover (1-0) earned the win in 1.0 innings. Miles went 2-for-4 with an RBI for the Jags, while Crown was 1-for-3 with a scored run. Barkell went 4-for-5 for USCA with two RBIs and run, while Josh Miller was 3-for-4 on the night.
ASU heads to Young Harris this weekend for a Peach Belt Conference series starting on Friday, March 29th.

From the renowned company that created the Swiss Army Knife more than a century ago comes the innovative SwissFlash, a combination multi-tool/flash drive that lets you clean your nails and store data in a single compact device. The SwissFlash - which is available in 1 GB, 2 GB, 4 GB, 8 GB, and 16 GB capacities - is stylishly cased in the timeless Swiss Army housing with the familiar Victorinox logo on the side. Victorinox added a twist, however, by veering away from the classic red and making the housing translucent. More importantly, the SwissFlash contains several reliable tools for home or office use, including a small blade, a nail file with a screwdriver, a small pair of scissors, and the flash drive, which plugs directly into a USB port. In short, there's no better multi-tool accessory for the modern professional. The SwissFlash - which offers a write-protection switch to help protect your files against accidental deletion - runs on the USB 2.0 standard but is compatible with USB 1.1.
As with all Victorinox items, the SwissFlash is made to exacting standards, with dozens of individual parts and hundreds of steps going into its construction. Victorinox attends to every detail, from selecting the finest materials to performing the final inspection. In addition, each individual tool has been hardened in a different way to stand up to its designated use. Outfitted with a plastic housing that measures 2-1/4 inches long, the SwissFlash carries a lifetime warranty.

In resonance with the words of the old British song, I have always been drawn towards the waters edge. There is something about the union of seawater and land that attracts me time and again.
There are indeed some obvious and probably universally relevant reasons why the seaside is so seductive. The sensuous sounds of the water lapping the sand, the constant hypnotic motion of the water, the cool contrast of the liquid with hard, hot land all mesmerise and attract magnetically. Presumably, the universal appeal of seaside is the cause of the huge premium that "seaview" adds to real estate.
Recently, however, I have thought more about the deep attraction that the seaside has for me, and my perceptions have evolved. This week I was standing on the ridge above the close-knit hamlet of Las Tunas, on the north side of Todos Santos. I relaxed in the cool breezes that the ridge attracts, and enjoyed the familiar panoramic vista of the azure ocean. This time, though, an element of boredom crept into my consciousness. There was nothing beyond the strip of blue, no distant shore, no boats, no clouds, nothing to provide context and variety. Rationally comparing the engaging quality of the water view to that from our place in Comox, there really is no contest. In Comox, the constantly changing water colour and wave motion is complemented by a backdrop of coastal mountains, capped for much of the year by a frosting of snow that peeks in and out from a corona of fluffy clouds. As the seasons change, so does the variety of seabirds that forage and take shelter in and around the lee of the peninsular. Ferries meander back and forth, intersecting with pleasure boats, and at night sparkling fairytale cruise ships pass by on their way to and from Alaska.
This time, instead of the ocean, my attention was drawn to the opposite direction, a vista over cardon cactus forests towards the magnificent Sierra Laguna range. A view that I previously saw as pretty, but paling into insignificance with the ocean view, even though I knew that the colours changed magically throughout the day and through moonlit nights. This time I saw the magic, and realized that, unconventionally, a house built there should be oriented to take advantage of that panorama.
So why the change in perception? Thinking back to my childhood, "the seaside" was where we, as a typical English family, always went for our vacations. The seaside, for me, is synonymous with escaping from day-to-day life; being part of a family together and at ease, enjoying rare treats. It represents a frozen, intense and pleasurable set of memories.
When I lifted that filter, some of that magical attraction evaporated. I still find the sea draws me, and I enjoy the experience of raw energy and elemental interaction of water and sand, the susurration of the surf, and the cooling breezes. But the intensity of feeling is diminished and my ability to lose myself in the feelings evoked by the experience, rather than perhaps the moment itself, has gone. While, intellectually, I see the value in seeing things as they really are, the loss of the magic, just like finding out that Father Christmas doesn't exist, in some way diminishes life.
Perhaps, sometimes, reality is overrated?
