A-List TV stars talk about their motivations in new film Tyler Perry's MEET THE PEEPLES, in theaters May 10
Tina Gordon Chism (ATL, Drumline) performed the tactical duties of writer-director in the family comedy, MEET THE PEEPLES. However, movie macho man Tyler Perry gets credit for doing the heavy lifting. PEEPLES is promoted as a Perry film, under his 34th Street banner, though he's reported to have only sanctioned the film's development.
PEEPLES is described thusly; Sparks fly when Wade Walker (Craig Robinson) crashes the preppy Peeples annual reunion in the Hamptons to ask for their precious daughter Grace's (Kerry Washington) hand in marriage. Wade might be a fish-out-of-water among this seemingly perfect East Coast clan, but he's not about to let himself flounder. Instead, in a wild weekend of fun, dysfunction and hilarious surprises, Wade is about to discover there's room for all kinds of Peeples in this family, no matter their differences.
Also guiding this Lionsgate PG-13 release are producers: Stephanie Allain (Hustle & Flow, Black Snake Moan), Paul Hall (For Colored Girls, Good Deeds) and Ozzie Areu (Meet the Browns, Madea Goes to Jail, just two among the slate of Perry features he's been attached to since 2007).
Without question, Perry is a hands-on filmmaker; his footprint is massive and measurable with the ability to get a film made faster than most in Hollywood. PEEPLES trek to the cinema has been a two-year or so journey– prior to the success of Kerry Washington's most talked about performance to date as hot leading lady in ABC's Scandal — by some calculations, a fast turnaround in filmmaking.
Craig Washington has been a staple on NBC's The Office for numerous seasons, seeing his role on the hit comedy continually expand, recurring in over 100 episodes since 2005. Both Washington and Robinson have impressive film roles to their credit and the union of their celebrity in PEEPLES was the subject of a lively roundtable conversation at the Four Seasons hotel in Beverly Hills to promote the film.
Besides working in your chosen profession, what was your attraction to WE THE PEEPLES?
Kerry Washington: (Looking adoringly toward Craig Robinson while responding to a room of reporters) Well, part of it is you're looking at him.
Craig Robinson: (Blushing) that's also my answer. Also, here was this writer turned first time director (Chism) who had written great movies, with a great spirit, telling me about the cast. Then, she said something about spanking Kerry Washington, and I said, "Yes." (Laughter) It really felt like we'd be part of something special, something different and uplifting so it was 'absolutely yes' for me.
Washington reinforces: All of what Craig just said as well as, for me, doing a comedy. I love to be able to change it up in what I do (acting roles) and I'm really drawn to comedy. I don't have a lot of opportunities to do it (comedy); I love the character (in this film). I love that she's a successful, powerful, smart woman and I loved the idea of being able to do comedy with people like Craig and David Alan Grier (LITTLEMAN, TV's In Living Color).
We get to hear you sing in this movie (as you've done on The Office), was that written into the script?
Robinson: It was not in the original script. My character was just a child therapist; once I got attached (to the film) Tina decided to make my character a musician who can teach kids through music or give them therapy through music. It's happened throughout my career where music is my part in it. I started out playing and singing; doing comedy… it doesn't surprise me when it comes along in a role.
Speaking of ABC's Scandal, much has been said about your portrayal and the character's on camera affair with President of the US. Would you clarify and/or elaborate?
Washington: I've been misquoted and misinterpreted a lot. What I said was, I probably would not have done the show if the President had been written as black; not because I think that it would have been bad to have a black president do the things he's doing (on Scandal) but I think the show would have been great no matter what color the character was. But for me, personally, because I support the administration I would not have wanted to give an idea that what I was doing on a TV show was mirroring my actual work in the White House.
Have you been surprised by the enormous success of Scandal?
Washington: I'm always surprised that anything is a hit. You never know when you're making a movie or a TV show or anything whether it's going to resonate. You just try to do a good job and have fun with it; hope that people like it as much as you liked making it. Shonda (Rhimes,
Scandal's creator) would kill me if I told you where it was going but it gets crazier…I mean, the last four episodes of the season are pretty intense and fantastic. The season was so shocking for me that I almost couldn't get it out of my mouth at the table reading.
Your PEEPLES costar, Diahann Carroll, has some experience with memorable TV roles, too, a groundbreaking actor decades prior in TV's Julia. Did the two of you trade war stories while working together? Washington: Scandal did not exist when we were shooting this movie. We shot this movie before we even shot the pilot of Scandal, before I knew that a script of Scandal existed. What was great was that in the journey of Scandal, because of this movie, from the beginning to now, I have had Diahann as a resource to learn from and to communicate with throughout the process. This movie gave me a real relationship with her; I've been able to share all of Scandal –this journey, this path with her– because of this movie.
Was there any time spent on set to enjoy girl talk?
Washington: We would have some lunches and there would be no boys at the table; just the girl cast with Diahann. She would talk about men and clothes and buying property and agents and all of it. We'd sit with bated breath waiting for her next piece of wisdom.
Stay tuned for my exclusive interview with the one-and-only Diahann Carroll and additional PEEPLES cast.

We've seen it hundreds of times. Companies want to create a blog and engage their customers, so they spend untold amounts of time and money working on a killer design, an exhaustive marketing strategy, and attending dozens of webinars on how to blog efficiently — but they never actually get around to the blogging part. It reminds me of the movie Van Wilder. He was so scared to graduate from college and move on to the next step that he just continued going to school. The big secret to blogging is you need to convert from learning and studying to doing and applying.
Here are three of the most common reasons we've heard for not blogging and why they don't hold water.

Zycher's critical comparison of Nader's Proposition 103 insurance reasoning favors Nader.
Canute II was not an emperor but the humble king of England and Denmark (1016-18 to 1035), renowned for his modesty and good sense for which history acknowledges his demonstration of the limitations of regal power. His nobles tried to convince him that his command could turn back the ocean tide; he took a chair (not the throne of England), to the Solent where the incoming sea failed to halt as he directed and forced Canute and the nobles to retreat as it lapped their feet. His chair can still be seen nearby the site of his lesson.
If the professor's ignorance of history is any guide to his knowledge of insurance, his UCLA pupils might well be advised to take extra coverage in all categories, particularly travel at sea.

Please type your search query in the box above or use the "Shop by Tyre Size" at the top of your screen to find your tyres.
Tyre wear and tear is natural part of driving, unfortunately. Since most cars are front-engine cars, the front axle bears more weight than the rear axle. This means your front tyres wear quicker than your back tyres.
Rotating your tyres will help ensure even tread wear, allowing them to last longer. Rotation entails swopping the back and front tyres around first, and then swopping the left and right front tyres.
Depending on the type of car you drive, we typically recommend you do this every 10,000 km.

"What is this controversy that is raging about fashions? Vogue doesn't believe there is a real one. Women everywhere have taken up the new fashions with joy. Those who are shouting the loudest for last year's styles are newspaper writers, women who have not tried the new clothes, women whose figures are poor, and older women who complained when the low waist-line came in and who complain just as much now that it is no longer worn."
"Certain individuals declare that the new model calls for a wasp-waist confined with bands of steel. Nonsense! The new corsets are merely a few inches longer. Most women have been wearing corset for years, light girdles that improved not only their figures but their health."
"Long skirts? What do you mean by long skirts? No one is asking women to wear trailing dresses in the street, and fourteen inches off the ground, the smartest length for walking dresses, is far from hampering. And in the evening an ankle-length skirt is most graceful."
"Long hair? But the women who make these statements cannot have seen a good fashion magazine for months. A bit longer, a bit softer, possibly a tiny low-placed chignon – that is the new coiffure."
"A Louis Vuittion trunk and a Schiaparelli travelling rug are considered essential accessories for the must-do trip to Egypt this year."

Nuclear issue over Iran - another attempt at dialogue
And yet, the countries interacting with Iran over its nuclear stance (primarily the countries in the UN Security Council) are unable to make a decision on how to proceed. Iran has always had the stance that it is using nuclear energy for purposes of generating an alternative to fossil fuels for electricity, a stand that other countries refuse to buy, and yet this must be one of the longest running attempts to have a discussion (link to article):
The U.S. and European Union called for a meeting with Iran to discuss stalled nuclear talks, brushing aside the Persian Gulf country's failure to mention the dispute over its atomic program in a proposal for negotiations. The EU request for a meeting came in response to the Iranian plan to tie any discussion of nuclear proliferation in the Middle East to talks on the future of the Palestinian people and changes in the structure of the United Nations Security Council.
Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki presented a five-page document to China, France, Germany, Russia, the U.K. and U.S. in Tehran on Sept. 9. The proposals are a response to Western concern about the atomic work, said President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who denies allegations by the U.S. and major allies that Iran's nuclear-power development is cover for the production of weapons. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei told worshippers in Tehran yesterday that Iran must "stand firm" in the nuclear dispute, saying it has the right to the technology, Agence France-Presse reported.
The members of the Security Council and the EU have not been able to come to an agreement about how to deal with Iran, given that Russia and China have not agreed with the western position. And of course, there is widespread problems even in the US, and the EU about trying to move ahead with a military and hard decision. For India, having another unstable nuclear armed nation in the neighborhood is something that needs to be avoided at all costs.

Program: Compatible Use
Aberdeen Proving Ground , Maryland
Harford County and Aberdeen Proving Ground collaborate on community driven planning process to promote compatible civilian development.
Harford County served as the project sponsor and grantee for the 27-month Joint Land Use Study (JLUS) surrounding Aberdeen Proving Ground (APG), completed in November 2015. The Chesapeake Science and Security Corridor consortium, a Harford County-funded entity, managed the project on behalf of the County. The JLUS Policy Committee was comprised of the Harford and Cecil County Executives; a Kent County Commissioner; the Mayors of the City of Aberdeen and Havre de Grace; and the APG Garrison Commander (serving in an ex-officio capacity). In addition to being the project sponsor, Harford County oversaw the implementation of key recommendations.
The Harford County JLUS represents a community-driven planning process among APG and the surrounding communities to promote compatible civilian development in support of military readiness and defense capabilities; protect public health, safety, general welfare, and quality of life; promote the economic viability of the communities; and foster continued communication among APG and surrounding communities to address compatibility issues. The JLUS benefits both the military installation and its supporting communities by identifying existing and future land use conflicts, and where mitigation strategies, ordinances, and future planning may counter possible civilian development that may impair continued military operations.
APG is situated in Northeast Maryland on Maryland's western bank of the Chesapeake Bay, just south of the Susquehanna River inlet. Hosting more than 90 tenants across a number of mission areas, APG's primary missions are in three areas:
- Engineering, testing and evaluation
- C4ISR (command, control, communications and computers for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance)
- Chemical, biological and nuclear defense
The Harford County JLUS identified critical encroachment recommendations associated with compatibility areas with high-priority recommendations in communication and coordination; operational noise and adjacent land uses.
In coordination with APG leadership, the Chesapeake Science and Security Corridor consortium carried out recommendations from the JLUS, with the first effort focused on improving military-civilian communication and coordination.
The JLUS also recommended that Hartford County develop four separate Military Compatibility Areas (MCAs), as follows:
- Noise MCA
- Safety MCA
- Vertical obstruction MCA
- Bird Air Strike Hazard (BASH) MCA

John D. Maxson 1940 – 2016
We are very saddened at the loss of one of the Museum's finest. John DeGolyer "Jack" Maxson passed away on October 21st. Jack was a dear friend to many of us and a long-time supporter of the Museum of the American Railroad. He served on the Board of Trustees for 17 years and held a number of officer positions including Chairman.
While often quiet and unassuming, Jack Maxson was a true gentleman and mentor to many. His calm demeanor and thoughtful leadership helped guide the Museum through several challenging periods. His love of trains obviously ran in the family, as his uncle Everett L. DeGolyer, Jr. was one of the principal founders of the Museum.
Jack Maxson gave generously to the Museum, having funded a number of initiatives over the years. He provided the initial gift of funds toward the Frisco project which helped kick off construction in 2011. He also provided funding for strategic planning and specific restoration projects. Jack had a particular fondness for the Santa Fe Railway and, no doubt, has had a positive influence the growth and breadth of the collection here at the Museum.
In addition to his love of railroads, Jack was a man of many accomplishments. He had a passion for music and left an indelible mark on the entertainment industry. The concert lighting and sound systems that we enjoy today were conceived and created in large part by Jack Maxson. His creative genius in the music field culminated in the creation of Showco and Vari-Lite International – two respected companies that left a legacy in live entertainment. Jack worked with many of the greats, including the Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Paul McCartney, and James Taylor. Jack was the recipient of three Emmy awards for achievements in sound and lighting.
We will miss Jack's steady hand of leadership on the Museum's board, his impeccable attire, and his company during dinners at Mattito's Mexican restaurant before board meetings.
Our sincere thanks to Jack's daughter, Peggy, for establishing a memorial that directs contributions to the Musuem of the American Railroad. We have been humbled by the generosity of Jack's friends and family. Contributions in his name will benefit continued operations and programming.

But we have something equally as fabulous today. Almost as fabulous as ginormous, gravity-defying, mouth-watering scoops of flesh. Yes, it's the RackTrap.
Lacking a purse (or even a man bag, baby), I'm all too well aware of all the crap that women have to tote around all the time: Make up, lipstick, pretty little frilly things, hard boiled eggs (for that trip to Let's Make a Deal where you finally screw over Monty Hall once and for all), pool repair kits, kleenex for snotty urchins, coupons, feminine hygiene supplies, nuclear launch codes, keys to houses you've not lived in for decades, change (usually from foreign countries), credit cards (never any actual local currency), sandwich cards, etc.
Which is why you can now also stash stuff in your breasticles. Tjhe RackTrap is "an undetectable bra pocket." I don't know about undetectability. In fact, a lot of women seem to have exactly the opposite intention. They're actually dressing for detection. Lots and lots of detection. To foil pickpockets, you should never ostentatiously show off your valuables. Got to tell you ladies, that's probably the first thing a potential pickpocket will be checking out.
Anyhoo, the instructions for the RackTrap are very simple. First, locate your breasts. If you are unable to locate your breasts, I'm sure that any man you ask will be more than willing to help you. Second, decide which breasts is easily reached. Again, any issues, see a man for help. We're such givers. Third, tuck the RackTrap between your chest and your cup. Viola! They've even got a video. Unfortunately as someone with access to real, live chesticles usually only on a daily basis, that shirt really kept me from understanding how to use the RackTrap. Maybe another demonstration would be more helpful. Something without all that clothing to get in the way and ruin the instructional nature of the film.
The RackTrap is only $7.95. Or you can order 4. Of course they come in an even number. They always travel in pairs.
Now the RackTrap is a fine name. But you can't ever have too many good ideas, can you?
May I humbly submit:
- Treasure Chest
- Boobie Bank
- My Cup Runneth Over
- Ta Ta Travel All
- RackTastic
- Knocker Nook
- The Tranny Cranny
- Hidden Assets
- Bra-llet
- Winnebago Wad
- ChestChange
- SweaterPuppies Stash
- Co Co Carryall
- Guns No Show
- Fun Pillows Purse
- Honkers Be Hidden
I'm sure you have ideas as well, kids.
Anybody actually own one of these?
I always thought women just took the money given to them and put it in there anyway. Like in My Favorite Year when she takes the dollar bill for accordian lessons and secretes is away. You're welcome to the two of you who got that reference. Any man worth his salt would ever turn down a sweaty bill recently plucked from the midst of your undercarriage.
And a tip of the cap to Froggie for passing knowlege of this wonderful product along. Keep those stupid ideas coming!

Family tree climbing has led me from Kentucky, to Virginia, to London, to the county of Kent, and finally to the Vale of the Dee. "Wild Wales" it was called by George Borrow in 1862. Being on this side (USA) of the Atlantic Ocean, it was difficult at times to get a clear understanding of my ancestor's home. The following book by Peter Sager helped give me insight to this land.
First published in German 1985, it was translated into English 1991 by David Henry Wilson. A second edition came in 1996. It was published by Pallas Athene, London 1991.
Mostly written as a travel guide, it provides a picture of Wales from South Wales, to Mid Wales , and to North Wales. It contains 135 illustrations and diagrams, 64 color plates, 104 black and white plates, and 2 fold-out maps. Certainly a good collection it is. "Wales and the Welsh" is the first section. "South Wales", "Mid Wales", and "North Wales" complete the 511 pages. As the author states:
"Books live with their readers, and some may also grow with their readers..." (p. 9)
Alive and growing it remains for me. For the genealogist it fits well into the family tree of those with Welsh descent.

My grandfather, José, was the son of an Italian immigrant, Giuseppe, who arrived sometime between WWI and WWII in the Caribbean coast of Colombia. According to Giuseppe's passport, the original spelling of the last name was Brigante, with a E, instead of Briganti. Apparently, my grandfather was registered as Brigantti and throughout his life he changed the spelling of its ending many times: -ty, -tty, -thy, -thi, -tthi, etc. So, what seem to finally work for him was the name as it is today.
My grandparents were born on a small Caribbean town. When they got married they moved to Cartagena of the Indies where they settled. They had 8 children and worked as shoemakers. Sadly, none of their children continued the family craft and it died with my grandmother.
As you might imagine the mixture of Italian blood and the Caribbean idiosyncracy is a hotbed for sheer craziness. So I wanted to have some fun with that and put as our motto: "Insania infinita est", which is latin for "crazyness is boundless".
What represents the family
*One of the main features of the city is its colonial wall that surrounds the old part of the city.
*This weird thing you see here was one of my grandmother´s famous recipes: the tamal. I think it's funny how it looks like a little present.
Looking for the perfect leaves
Since the origin of the family name is Italian I wanted to use the laurel leaves as a symbol of Europe along with the palm leaves, representing the new Caribbean world.

AFRINIC, the Regional Internet Registry (RIR) for Africa, held its 23rd Internet meeting in Pointe-Noire, Republic of Congo, from 28 November to 4 December 2015, at the Hotel Azur Le Gilbert's.
Typically, AFRINIC holds two open public policy meetings annually in various locations throughout its service region. The meetings provide a unique opportunity for Internet-related individuals and organisations to gather to discuss the policies governing Internet number resource distribution in the African region, to share technical knowledge, and to attend workshops and tutorials.
The 23rd meeting was hosted by ARPCE, the Regulatory Agency for Electronic Communications and Posts, the Authority responsible for controlling, monitoring and regulating the Posts and Electronic Communications sectors in Congo.
23rd AFRINIC Meeting Stats | AFRINIC
Some of the key hands on training courses and workshops that attracted participants and AFRINIC fellows alike included
- IPv6
- Internet Number Resource Management (INRM)
- Cyber security
Looking Back Forward
Since its founding ten years ago, AFRINIC's responsibility has been to oversee the distribution, and management of Internet number resources (IPv4, IPv6 and ASNs), throughout the African continent.
The Region's Internet Registry prides itself in achieving tremendous milestones. As of 30th November 2015, AFRINIC boasted of over 1,200 members in 54 countries, 12 of whom are from the Republic of Congo.
As far as resource allocation is concerned, over 70 Million /32 IPv4 addresses have been issued since 2005. 3,1 million /32 IPv4 addresses were issued in the first quarter of 2015.
2,74 /8 IPv4 were available as at Q1 of 2015. Additionally, more than 1,100 ASN have been issued since 2005, with over 430 Members having IPv6 prefixes. Of these IPv6 prefixes, 51 out of 56 (91%) have been allocated to African countries.
In terms of capacity building, 2014 saw the training of (INRM & IPv6) for 353 engineers and managers during eleven training workshops held in nine different countries.
Another epoch has been that of ISO Certification, where AFRINIC successfully passed through the Surveillance Audit held on 17th and 18th November 2015.
IANA Stewardship Transition
The IANA stewardship transition on the status of ICANN was initiated by the National Telecommunication and Information Administration's (NTIA's) announcement in March 2014.
Following this announcement, on 15th January 2015, the Consolidated RIR IANA Stewardship Proposal (CRISP) team submitted AFRINIC community's proposal to the IANA Stewardship Transition Coordination Group (ICG).
This move was geared at ensuring that Africa's unique needs are taken into consideration.
Due to constraints, the IANA transition phase that was highly anticipated to complete by 30th September 2015 has since been pushed forward to September 2016, with options to extend the contract for up to three additional years if need be.
ICANN Strategic Partnership
AFRINIC has maintained cooperation and a steady relationship with ICANN, the main Internet governance institution whose responsibility is to manage the core Internet infrastructure, which consists of IP addresses, domain names, and root servers.
During the week long intensive meeting, ICANN conducted a session to brief participants and Internet community members of its Africa Strategy (2016-2020).
This captivating session was facilitated by ICANN staff Mr. Yaovi Atohoun and Mr. Bob Ochieng.
Forging Ahead
AFRINIC-24 will be held in Gaborone, Botswana alongside the Africa Internet Summit (AIS'16), from 4th to 10th June 2016.
This will be yet another chance for Internet stake-holders to discuss the policies governing Internet number resource distribution in the quest to foster Internet development in the region.

Although it is just creating a buzz inside American media, the African mango has been around existence forever and has been found in Cameroon (where it comes from) for several years. This is to insinuate until this wonder fruit is proven to work and it has been actually seen to practically change lives; so what on earth really are the main advantages of the African mango for the human body?

Despite not having a stand at FOWA, innovative personal web printing service Moo (based in the UK) certainly made its presence felt. Everywhere, people were exchanging the company's cool mini-cards, which it prints on demand in batches of 100 with a picture (or funky text) on the reverse of each, all of which can be different if you want. You can upload images from your computer, or allow Moo to link to your Flickr account, social network, blog, etc. I had a batch delivered on Wednesday, handed out about 15 on Thursday and came back from FOWA with as many new ones. They're wonderful, visually interesting, tactile objects and such a refreshing change from the clunky white cards favoured by the corporate set.
Another innovative on-demand web printing company (this time from the US) did have a stand at the EXPO, however – Blurb. For a very reasonable sum, the company will print single copies and short runs of beautiful 'coffee table friendly' hardcover or softcover books with full-colour photos and/or text. Like Moo, Blurb will link into your Flickr account or blog if you want. It also offers pre-designed templates to ensure a professional finish even if you wouldn't know a block of white space when it hit you round the head.
More interesting still, the site also features a social network for those making Blurb books – 'Blurbarians' – and offers their works (from photography to poetry to cookery to cartoons) for sale at a price set by the author, with the option for potential buyers to preview online. Sold books are then printed on demand and dispatched, with Blurb taking only the first $25 of the author's profits plus a $5 processing fee.
Some have compared the venture to vanity publishing, but while the service can certainly be used in that way by the terminally deluded, I think Blurb is more accurately described as the first true 'long-tail' publisher. The quality of some of the books on the site (although admittedly not all) is testament to the fact that there are plenty of talented people out there whose appeal may not be wide enough to interest a traditional publisher, but who certainly deserve a niche audience. And under Blurb's model, they can find it.

If you are building a home in the Bay Area, you want to keep an eye on emerging trends. But you also want to steer your own course. There are four exciting residential construction trends that should stand the test of time.
1. Improve energy efficiency
There are a million and one strategies to improve energy efficiency, such as: Constructing low water toilets; improving your HVAC maintenance; installing solar panels on your roof; upgrading your doors and windows; installing programmable thermostats.
2. Welcoming the Sun
Outdoor kitchen and living areas, such as glass and conservatories, are all the rage these days, perhaps in part because Californians are recognizing how important it is to get regular amounts of safe sunlight. In addition to creating outdoor spaces, many homeowners are installing sheer blinds, skylight, sky tubes, and more windows.
3. Toxin-free homes
The Bay Area is one of the epicenters of the green "all natural" movement- and has been for over 50 years. Builders notice they are using more environmentally-friendly materials, such as carpets that emit fewer volatile organic compounds; low degassing paints; toxin-free flooring and other materials.
4. Automatic Controls
Homeowners can now control heating, air conditioning, security systems, TV and video, lights, and other systems using simple devices, like iPads. If you build with home automation in mind, you can find neat design solutions and pre-wire your house for best practices.

Dr. Hamilton Fisk Biggar was born in the village of Oakville, Upper Canada, on the 15th of March, 1839. His grandfather, Robert Biggar, was a native of Scotland, born in Dumfries, and a member of an ancient and numerous family, the Biggars of Biggarstown, Dumfries —the family being mentioned in "Scottish Queens" as "ancient and of good repute." He was educated for a clergyman of the Scotch church, though he ultimately gave his attention to farming. He married Mary Lander by whom he had eleven children. His son, Hamilton Biggar, was born in Queenstown, Canada, in 1806, served faithfully for many years as a pastor of the Wesleyan Methodist Church, from which, late in life, he was superannuated. He married Eliza Phelps Racy, daughter of James Racy, Esq., of Brantford, Ontario. They had a large family of children, of whom the subject of this sketch is the fourth.
Hamilton F. Biggar attended the public schools until eleven years of age, when he was apprenticed to the mercantile business with Richard Senior, of Ayre, Canada. Not liking this, he left the shop and returned to school for two years. He then attended for one year a grammar school in Brantford, Ontario, conducted by R. J. Tyner, M.A., after which he again engaged in mercantile pursuits. Not finding this business adapted to his tastes and abilities, he determined to obtain a thorough education, and at the expiration of two years entered the University of Victoria, at Coburg. Graduating from that institution as Bachelor of Arts, in 1863, he immediately afterwards commenced the study of law in the office of John Cameron, Esq., of Brantford, and passed his primary examination for a barrister-at-law, at Osgood Hall, Toronto, Canada.
Abandoning his legal studies he at length decided to enter the medical profession, and accordingly came to Cleveland in the fall of 1864, entering the Homœopathic College, from which he graduated in the spring of 1866. He then attended for a time the principal hospitals of New York and Philadelphia, after which he returned to Cleveland, opened an office and entered upon the practice of his profession. Before graduating he received the appointment of adjunct professor of surgery in the Homœopathic College, and has subsequently held, at different times, other important appointments in that institution. He was a professor of anatomy and clinical surgery for seven years, and then of clinical surgery with operations, when he resigned. For many years he held the office of registrar of the college, which he was also obliged to resign on account of the multiplicity of his professional duties.
According to FamilySearch, Robert Biggar married Mary Lauder, the daughter of William Lauder, on 27 August 1784 in Dumfries. There is no sign of children born to this couple, so they may have left Dumfries shortly after their marriage. Hamilton, born in Canada in 1806, is clearly among the youngest of Robert and Mary's eleven children. I found two Robert Biggars born in Dumfries, one in 1773 and the other in 1776, but there is no way to tell if either is the Robert who migrated to Canada.

This historic Cape Cod cottage caught my eye when it was featured in this month's issue of Country Living magazine. It was part of their Real Estate Sampler (love those!), and I tracked down the listing to learn more about it. It was built in 1800 in Clinton, Connecticut, and I was amazed by how little seems to have been changed since then.
I believe this would technically be a Cape Ann, which is described as "a rectangular house, commonly one or one and a half stories high, that is similar to a Cape Cod house, but has a shingled mansard roof rather than a shingled gable roof."
I like that the real estate agent included floor plans for the house so we can get a clearer idea of how the rooms connect.
First Floor:
With that central chimney, I wonder if there was originally a fireplace in the dining room, too?
Second Floor:
The listing notes, "The over-sized lot with a barn offers room for expansion."
"Cape Cod houses had low ceilings and a central chimney to keep rooms comfortable during cold winters in the northern colonies. The steep roof helped slough off the heavy snow." (Source)
The listing says, "This quaint 1800-circa home has the distinction of being included on the National Register of Historic Places."
"A small marina at the end of the Lane is perfect for the sailor/fisherman who wants to have his boat conveniently near by."
Check the listing held by Doris Fallon of William Raveis Real Estate for more photos and information. Don't think I'd want to live in a house this period-specific, but it's fun to see one that is! 🙂

In June of 2015, people from across Michigan and neighboring states gathered to learn about how they can have a seat at the table and a voice in decision-making when huge developers come into their communities to ensure that there is reinvestment in neighborhoods.
On May 11th 2017, we are gathering once again to strategize, but this time, we are zooming out a bit to take a look at how our representatives are using our tax dollars and resources. Our elected leaders must commit to ensuring equitable community development and public safety when they use public money to subsidize private profit.
This conference will focus on strategies and tools including Community Benefits Agreements, to help residents and stakeholders develop plans to engage in state advocacy for equitable development.

Roots discharge influence soil stability, water repellency as growing season advances the part of the plant under the soil is getting affected which may not draw attention earlier. Most attention is paid to new shoots, stems, leaves, and eventually the flowers and crop we propose to grow. Roots remain a rather uninteresting facet of the plant growth.
The section of the soil that encompasses a plant's roots is called the rhizosphere. It is an active zone for vital for concealed crop production procedures. In the Rhizosphere plants create innumerable chemical compounds called exudates. Hallett and fellow researchers at the University of Aberdeen observe the consequence that exudates possess on plants and neighboring soil community. Their individual work makes small scale measurements close to the root's surface. The properties here could vary from the rest of the soil.
Hallett said that roots constantly emit chemicals into the soil as a means to free nutrients that are fixed to soil particles. In the indigestion system, the stomach emits gastric juices to assist in breaking up the food; exudates are the plant parallel to gastric juices. Hallett elucidates exudates chemical composition as an absolute cocktail or a buffet of amenities for anything in the rhizosphere. In inclusion to assisting plants acquire nutrients exudates are the food birthplace for microbes that are an important part of the soil microbiome. Exudates also play a vital role in holding the soil together.

Hands before guns ..and.. Feature
Sunday July 10th, 2016
Hello Group,
This last week I came across a concept that I hope will grow and grow and grow.
Maybe many of you know that I, beachelf, who manages this group, live w/ my partner JonJon74 in north Florida. We have enjoyed visiting Orlando and partying at the club The Pulse which was shot to bits last month. Neither governments or educational institutions or even religions are able to stop the events such as in Orlando, or in Paris last year. So.. Really.. What can I do?
Well.. This last week I came across this deviation here on dA..

I believe this is an impromptu campaign that could have potential. We can flood the internet w/ images containing the "Hands before guns" logo. There's no one collecting money. There's no one to whom we shall swear allegiance. It's ju

Dear Ms. Undine answers your March questions
Every day on the interwebs, I see new words that no one defines but that everyone seems to understand all of a sudden. I've seen "neoliberalism," which is something unspecified but very, very bad, and "intersectionality" (ditto), and "woke" as an adjective meaning "awakened." Do I need to look these words up every time I encounter them?
-- Signed,
Dear OED,
What you're encountering is the beauty of the interwebs. It used to take a longer time for words to trickle through the culture, but now they take over like a torrent. It makes for lively writing and an interesting culture. Here's a tip, though: do not simply google a word, especially if you aren't sure how it's being used, since there may be some regrettable, never-can-be-unseen images attached. Try Urban Dictionary instead.
Dear Ms. Undine,
Are these expressions cliches, or are they true?
1. "The perfect is the enemy of the good."
2. "The best dissertation is a done dissertation."
Afraid to be a Cliche
Dear Afraid,
Both. And do you know what they call people who are not afraid to be a cliche? Ph.D.
Sometimes when I am very tired, I watch House Hunters or House Hunters International. Don't judge me, Ms. Undine. IHE says we can learn from this show.
The house hunters used to be can-do types. "We can fix this," they'd say upon encountering a roofless shell with three crumbling walls.
Now, however, they mostly focus on their needs: "It needs to be an older house with charm, but totally modern rooms and bathrooms the size of an airport, in a perfect neighborhood." They also spend a lot of time ridiculing the homeowner's taste, like Ortho in Beetlejuice. Remember him? "Deliver me from L. L. Bean!"
I have two questions:
1) How do the homebuyers, who usually give their occupations as something like "freelance artist" and "visionary entrepreneur," afford $500,000 houses?
2) Am I a sociologist or a schadenfreude-filled hate-watcher for silently cheering when some of the more obnoxious homebuyers fail to get what they want?
Confessional Clara
Dear Confessional,
1) If you find out, please let Ms. Undine know.
2) Why did you pose this as an either/or question? Who are you, Pierre Bourdieu?

I've written previously in Open-Heart Branding (When It All Adds Up) of the extraordinary retail brand that Feargal Quinn built in the sixties and seventies, and his amazing feat of persuading cash-strapped housewives to see the real value in shopping at his stores, where great food, innovative offers and exceptional service were available at a premium. Feargal had so much faith in his own offer that he knew he didn't need to compete on price.
As an artisan brand-builder myself, and a keen student of the great brands, I read and re-read his book Crowning The Customer, in which he describes the simple but difficult task of putting the customer first, and of crafting an offer laden with value which can be readily appreciated by the customer. And by appreciated, I mean ready to pay for it, and pay handsomely too.
And in these difficult economic circumstances, I often use the example of the Superquinn of my boyhood to inspire those clients of mine who are inclined to lose faith in the quality of their own offer in the mistaken belief that customers cannot appreciate the value in it. If Feargal Quinn could persuade the hard-pressed but savvy housewives of seventies' Dublin to spend their money wisely with him, I say, then surely there's a place in your marketplace for products and services that crown the customer in much the same way.
And yet I was unsurprised by last month's news (Superquinn Brand To Be Dropped By New Owners) that recent buyers Musgraves plan to rebrand the 24 Superquinn stores as Supervalu.
Unsurprised, because I believe that Superquinn, having crowned the customer triumphantly throughout the seventies and eighties, lost faith in the value of its own offer when the competition upped the ante in the nineties, and surreptitiously stole back the customer's golden crown to replace it with a shiny but copper-based replica, the classic fool's gold.
I trace it back to an apparently innocuous event, sometime in the late nineties, at the entrance to our local store. It probably seemed like a good idea at the time, but it heralded the beginning of the end of the great Superquinn brand. There it stood, a simple supermarket trolley, packed with the mix of products you'd typically find on a weekly household shopping list. Attached to it was the legend proclaiming that the cost of the products in this Superquinn trolley was as cheap as those to be found in its Dunnes or Tesco equivalents.
Now, I knew that this was probably true in this case - I had no doubt the local shop-manager had carefully researched and assembled this particular trolley-load of goods so that it would bear comparison - but that wasn't the point. I knew that it wasn't true in general.
In one clumsy gesture, Superquinn had swiped the crown from the customer. Remember that Feargal Quinn had always appealed to the intelligence of the savvy shopper, and in doing so had created a very grown-up brand. No cheap tricks for Feargal. My mother knew that she was being charged a premium, and she was happy to pay it. The last thing the savvy customer needs is to have their intelligence and loyalty insulted. Because, whilst it was almost certainly true that the particular trolley-load in question was as cheap as its competitors, the customer knew that shopping in Superquinn once came with a bold premium attached: a premium on great food, innovative products and exceptional service that they had agreed was worth paying for.
Superquinn, which had achieved the near-impossible task of creating value in a cash-poor economy, managed to destroy that same value in the cash-rich (and growing richer) society of late nineties' Ireland. Fool's gold indeed.
They may have lured in a few carpet-baggers on the heels of their sleight-of-hand, and perhaps they turned a quick profit, but from then on the Superquinn brand lost its lustre and became just one of many retailers hawking their wares to a critical customer, and competing on price.
And so I was unsurprised to see that the brand's new owners don't see the value in retaining the Superquinn name. In many ways, their own Supervalu brand, which champions local producers and personal service, had already stolen a march on a brand that lost faith in its own values, and the value it offered its customers as a result.
Others too have taken a lead from Crowning The Customer, and Irish retail has a number of young pretenders vying for the Superquinn crown. But as a child of the seventies, I still think it's a terrible pity that one of the few Irish brands from that time that could truly claim greatness, has fallen from grace and become largely irrelevant to the customer of today.
Over To You: Do you think it's possible to create a brand today that doesn't compete on price? Do any other Irish brands (emerging or established) come to mind?

A Day With The Bridgemen
On a visit to 16th Street Park last weekend, I took some time to visit with the Bridgemen who were in the midst of their first outdoor rehearsal of the season. The first thing that came to my mind was how much fun they seemed to be having, considering the amount of work that they were getting done. They spent most of morning in the parking lot by the boat launch working diligently on learning their "drill".
The drill, as it is called, is the staging or choreography, which is the part of the program that makes drum corps and marching bands different from other forms of musical entertainment. The performers are required to move around the field, in step with one another, maintaining shapes as well as the spacing between one another. They move around with great precision, to create a variety of shapes or pictures that create focus and emphasis that lead the viewer's eye through the show.
After the morning session, the corps sat around the park and ate lunch. It was impressive to see some individuals break away from the group to work alone on their music. I was astonished by the work ethic of the membership, as well as the resourcefulness as it was incredibly windy down by the water. These folks don't get paid a penny for what they do. In fact, they have to pay a membership fee and participate in fund raisers to be part of the group.
Before the lunch break was even over, members in the percussion section started the afternoon rehearsal block. The "pit" as they are known, began working on part of their show music. This section is made up of a variety of stationary percussion instruments. It is the only section that doesn't march or participate in the drill. They perform from the front sideline, embellishing the field music with two complete drum sets, a Latin percussion rack, marimba, concert bass drum and a plethora of accessory percussion instruments.
The marching percussion, or batterie, looks and sounds very strong. With six snare drums, three multi tenors and a five tonal bass drums. This section is truly the heartbeat of the corps. Most fascinating to me was the bass drum section. When most people picture the bass drummer, they picture the constant thud, thud, thud that keeps the band in step. Well, this is not your father's bass drum line. Comprised of five drums that are tuned to different pitches, individuals in this section work together creating a vast array of rhythmic and melodic combinations that gives the impression that you are listening to a giant drum set as opposed to 5 individuals. Another amazing thing to behold is the tenor section. These players carry a rack of 5 drums each. It's truly memorizing to watch the synchronization of their hands as they criss-cross and move all over these drums in perfect time. There are also 3 individuals that carry huge cymbals. These are used for musical accents but they are also held up for the other drummers to "ride" on as a set drummer would. It's really quite remarkable. The snare drum is the lead voice of the drum line. I was amazed at how many different sounds and volumes that they get out of a single drum.
I took a short walk across the park and found myself in front of a huge arc of brass players. There had to be, at least, 50 of them. They had horns of every shape and size from a small trumpet-sized horn (called a soprano), to a humongous tuba-like instrument known as a contra bass. I was advised not to call them tubas. The voices are similar to a choir. They use soprano, alto, baritone and bass bugles. After playing a series of warm-ups and exercises, the horns broke off. In to smaller groups to work on various parts of their program. About 45 minutes later, they returned from their sectional rehearsals and played together, creating an incredibly majestic sound.
I wasn't done quite yet. The last section that I visited turned out to be the most impressive. The color guard is made up of 16 ladies that spin flags and mock rifles with incredible accuracy. They also add another level to the program with dance moves. Their rehearsal appeared to be the most intense. The teacher seemed to run a pretty tight ship. His comments and drill instructor like instruction was cutting and sarcastic at times but the girls seemed to take it in stride. It appeared to motivate them. His assistants were just as tough as these two women barked out corrections and called out individuals. I was thinking, "these girls actually pay to get beat up like this on the weekends?" It really paid off though as I watched them learn a segment of their routine and run it several times. Then, they each did the move, one after another in a "ripple" as they called it. I was thoroughly impressed. They spent about 30 to 45 minutes learning a routine that lasted for just 12 counts. That equates to like 5 seconds out of a twelve minute show.
I was exhausted after just watching the corps for just a couple of hours. Keep in mind that they started 3 hours before I got there and continued on for 3 if 4 more after I left. Then they did it again on Sunday! Now, they all go back to regular life for a week or two until they come back to do it again on the 18th of May. If you get a chance, I highly recommend coming down to 16th street park to witness this highly motivated group of wonderful, friendly and hardworking people. If you want to see these folks do what they do in uniform, under the lights. Make time to see them and some other great drum corps at the Tournament of Stars on June 21st at Veterans Memorial Stadium at the foot of 25th Street in Ol' Bayonne. For ticket information, you can visit the corps website www.bridgemen.com or call 862-216-2407.

Peppa came into CP care in November 2017 aged 5 years old and was adopted by Linda in December 2017. In her new home for Christmas Peppa was purring away when this picture was taken and is chilling out. Despite suffering from an upset tummy for a couple of days Peppa is a happy cat with Linda. Nicknamed Houdini as Peppa can open doors, Linda is keeping all doors to the outside firmly locked! We wish them well for 2018 and many years beyond.
Peppa's first expedition into the garden in January 2018 was exciting and nerve wracking at the same time - for owner Linda and Peppa. How lovely to see Peppa enjoying the great outdoors in the New Year.
