Earle B. Tilton
Earle B. Tilton 1899-1979 Ohio Northern College of Law Class of 1917
Earle Barton Tilton was born in 1899 at Tiltonville, Ohio, a town founded by his great-grandparents. He married Della Lawrence in 1917, and they had one daughter, Delmarcia. He received a bachelor of law degree from Ohio Northern University in 1917, and an honorary doctor of law degree in 1950. He received a bachelor of commercial science degree from New York University in 1924, a doctor of jurisprudence degree from De Paul University in 1927, and was a member of the Ohio and Illinois bar associations.
Dr. Tilton started his career with the Chase Manhattan Bank in New York. He was assistant vice-president of the Bank of America until consolidation in 1929 with the Central Trust Company of Illinois, and vice-president of the latter until consolidation in 1931 with National Bank of Republic. He was vice-president of Central Republic Bank and Trust Company, and president of the Central-Illinois Company from 1933 to 1942. From 1942 to 1956, Tilton held other positions ending up as Chairman of the Board President of the Nuclear-Chicago Corporation. During this time Tilton married Bernice (Sheppard Ludwig) in 1941.
In 1976, Earle B. Tilton gave 1,280 acres of Red River Valley farmland in North Dakota (having a gift value of $706,000) to Ohio Northern University. At the time, this was considered the largest single contribution from living individual in the history of the University. The Tilton's were to retain full use of the land during their lifetimes, and the University would realize no income from the gift during the donors' lives. Proceeds from the gift will be used to further legal education.
In recognition of this gift, on May 22, 1976, the law building was named in honor Earle B. Tilton. Tilton died on May 10, 1979 at Clearwater, Florida.

Carlo Cedroni, also known as Pete West, was born in Velletri (Rome). A self-taught artist, he started his career in 1953, drawing the western series 'Colorado Kid' and 'Freccia Rossa' for the Erre-Ci group, together with his friend Annibale Casabianca. His series 'Mocassino Nero' was published in Collana del Puma from scripts by Kappa between 1954 and 1956. It was later also published in France as 'Mocassin Noir' by Éditions des Remparts.
Cedroni then contributed to Romoletto (1955), Albi dell'Impavido (1958) and the SF magazine Il Pioniere (1956-1958). Between 1956 and 1964 he worked for le Éditions Aventures et Voyages in Paris on series like 'Bayard', 'Nick Barrier' ('Nic Reporter') and 'Rouletabille'.
Trapper John
In Rome he drew some covers of 'Mandrake' for Fratelli Spada (1968). From the 1960s onwards, Cedroni and his assistant Luciano Bernasconi were working for Barbato & Mancini's Barman studios, that produced comics for Marcel Navarro's publishing house Lug in Lione.
Martin Mystère
Cedroni has drawn series like 'Don Juan l'Épervier', 'Jim Lasso', 'Blek' (on which he alternated on the artwork with Jean-Yves Mitton), 'Apollon', 'Trapper John' and 'Drago', which were all published in Lug's magazines Rodeo, Hondo, Kiwi, Nevada, etc. Cedroni's final work in the comic book field was illustrating on episode of the popular Bonelli serial 'Martin Mystère' in 1988. Cedroni was a painter in the last 20 years of his life.

La Mesa senior lost $125,000 in scam
First came the catalog. Next came sweepstakes prize letters, and then the phone calls started.
The woman believed she was the lucky winner of a huge cash prize. But she was not winning anything. Instead, she had begun feeding a ravenous fraud machine that would not be sated until it had sucked her life savings, her credit line, her car, her jewelry, and her peace of mind. Within two and a half weeks, she lost more than $98,000. A second scheme, which unfolded weeks later, sucked another $27,500 from her.
Her story sounds incredible. Unfortunately, it's increasingly common.
"It is escalating," said San Diego Deputy District Attorney Paul Greenwood, head of the Elder Abuse Prosecution unit. "More needs to be done."
The victim, a 79-year-old widow and retired homemaker who lives in La Mesa, requested her name not be used.
She said she initially believed she was entering sweepstakes, but in reality the money she was wiring ended up lining the pockets of thieves in Jamaica and the Philippines, her family now believes. She continued to send money, told by the scammers that the additional payments would allow her to recuperate her losses.
She cashed in CDs, emptied bank accounts, maxed out credit cards, borrowed $5,000 from a family member, and pawned her Hyundai and jewelry. Even after her family intervened and she stopped sending funds, the thieves continued harassing her over the phone.
"When I got into it and lost some money, I had to win it back. I couldn't face my kids and say I had lost all this money. The more I lost, I just got deeper and deeper in it," she said. "I have 'sucker' written in red letters across my forehead. … I'm so embarrassed."
Experts say people of any age can be targeted, but that people with dementia or Alzheimer's are especially vulnerable — and the crooks prey on people with memory issues. The development of global communication and financial networks allow money to cross borders into countries where law enforcement may not be willing to cooperate, making such scams difficult to prosecute when funds get transferred outside the U.S.
Denise Nelesen, with the county's office of Aging & Independence Services, said the scammers' pitches appear legitimate — from mimicking name brands on prize letterhead to impersonating relatives on the phone.
"We've even had law enforcement (and prosecutors) sit down with people and tell them it's a scam, and they still don't believe it," Nelesen said. "It's very insidious. (The scammers) really have learned the game on how to convince you that this is a great deal and you're special."
Loren Davis, the La Mesa woman's son, said the fraud has destroyed her spirit. He said he hopes her story will be a useful lesson to other seniors and trusting individuals. "These scammers are out there. They're organized. They get information and then they start to fish for people, and if they get somebody to listen … if they find they can work somebody's buttons," then they'll take what money they can, he said.
Ruthless, relentless network
Davis called his mother generous, intelligent, caring and "a little gullible."
She came from a small town in Utah and never went to college. She was not business savvy, he said, and instead focused on raising a family. Her husband died in 2008, and Davis suspects she got lonely. Growing up in a simpler time made her more trusting, he added. The woman says the fraud started a short while after she played a game in a catalog, which invited readers to call a number for a chance at a $100 prize. Somehow, she ended up with several magazine subscriptions, including Forbes, even though she says now she wasn't interested in them.
"That was the beginning," she said. The crooks had her name, her phone number and her address. That's when the sweepstakes letters started. First she was eligible to win half a million dollars. Quickly, the amounts grew:
"A sum of $1,781,200.00 … in cash and prize opportunities has been released by third party sponsors and are currently unclaimed," one letter began. It urged her to act quickly: "Some or all prize opportunities could go to somebody else, be forfeited or expired if you fail to respond shortly." It even warned her not to fall prey to scammers: "Be aware of scams and fake reports as our $28 fee is the only fee to be paid."
The letter looked convincing, featuring watermarks, bar codes and a signature.
It was like hundreds of others she received, she said.
She sent a small amount at first, but the scammers kept raising the ante or requesting additional funds in order to process her prize. Between Sept. 17 and Oct. 3, records and receipts show she wired more than $98,000 to several recipients, most of them believed to be in the Philippines.
This was a fee-for-prize scam, which Greenwood called "a classic." Victims are offered cash or another award, in exchange for paying a fee to redeem it. The award never materializes, but by the time the victim realizes that, it's too late.
Accountability lacking
Davis contacted the La Mesa Police, the FBI, the district attorney's office, and the county. He said the local police was "not very responsive," and other agencies have urged him to be patient.
Lt. Matt Nicholass, spokesman with the La Mesa Police Department, said these crimes are very hard to investigate.
He offered this advice: "If somebody won something, they should not have to pay money to receive that gift. If someone is asking for money in advance, there's usually a problem involved."
Wire transfer services are not obligated to report suspected financial crimes like banks are, but a new state law this year requires them to educate their employees about elder abuse.
Greenwood went to Washington last November to push for a task force dedicated to elder fraud. He said that without a joint effort, it is challenging to get agencies "to invest time in tracing these calls and tracing where the money has gone."
The La Mesa woman now has an estate lawyer and a financial trustee from her church, helping her handle what's left of her personal property. She has stopped answering the scammers' calls and she knows better than the trust the award letters, which have trickled to one or two per day.
She offered these word of caution: "If they ask for money, just tear it up or tell them no. Don't do it. … If it sounds too good to be true, it's not true. Don't give any money. Hang up."

No, I haven't done a newsletter in quite some
time. Part of that was that I had to retain legal help, which
advised no writing anywhere on any subject, after a new
next-door neighbor asserted, incorrectly, that she owned about 20% of
my property, refused to abide by two settlements based on appropriate
surveys, and by and large generated a difficult and costly
time before a judge finally put an end to her claims with a scathing
final decision. It was awful, and at one point involved her
being charged with menacing.
By then, not only was I not writing about knitting. I was not
knitting at all, pending two cataract surgeries last year.
By the time I could have started again, I was doing or having done
long-postponed work on my old house, built in 1924.
I was fortunate with almost all my subcontractors,
acting as my own
general contractor. The place now has a new
driveway, easy to shovel, and new gates; a new roof--hail-resistant,
since I live in the hail belt-- and new gutters; new side doors and
basement windows; some plumbing improvements; and a carefully done and
handsome new paint job, which I did myself, in the living
room, dining room, kitchen, hall, and bathroom. Some new
lighting fixtures from the Habitat for Humanity store ($2 each!) went
in the basement, which improved it a lot.
Best of all, a nifty mural by my artist/carpenter friend James, graces
the dining room. He'd stopped by just as I was dragging the
dining room bookcase out and finishing the paint work there, and asked
if there was anything he could help with. I thought maybe a
mural over a bare wall above the arch in the dining room. The
ladder was still in place. He climbed up, pulled out a tape
and a pencil, measured, marked, sketched, went and
got his paints and brushes, and painted for hour.
Watching it was like having one's own private magician. We
played Erroll Garner and Dave Brubeck and Oscar Peterson at
considerable volume and kept ourselves going with good Chinese food,
delivered, until it was done around 11:30 at night, and we could
celebrate with a beer.
Anyway, the house is in better shape, more weather tight, quieter,
looking better. I ended up repairing the old
foundations myself, and having them recoated with stucco just as the
weather was closing in, as it did in October, with a ferocious
storm. There's more to be done in spring and summer next year.
But once the weather closed down, I could get back to
knitting. For Christmas (and after) I made a lot of the new
versions that evolved into Not-a-Scarf 2.0, trying to find the best way
to do these. And I made myself a hat, when I found a single
ball of an old Rowan tweed; I worked this from the top down, worried
about how much yarn I had. It turned out perfectly, with a deep
cuff. The new pattern going up today includes Not-a-Scarf 2.0
and the top-down hat.
I'm glad to be back, and provide a fine selection of work that you've
done in the meantime, starting with the Polar Bear Scarf that became
The Bipolar Bear.
2.0 is quick to work up, makes a
wonderful gift for anyone
who lives where it gets really cold, and is fun to do. It can
be varied in its yarn (get gauge, please!), and style. The
cabling helps make it warmer, but you can do jacquard with this to good
effect, as well, with the floats across the back providing extra warmth
and wind-turning capabilties. It has a pocket in front where you can
keep a cell phone or a handkerchief, and it won't slither off, get in
the way, or be left behind on a coffee shop coat hook. And the big
collar can be turned up when the wind is blowing, which I love.
I have been working top-down hats and Not-a-Scarfs
to outfit the neighborhood, as I worked on these two patterns, and sat
the telephone trying to work things out for my eldest niece--once
smart, pretty, and talented, and only ten years younger than I--who
has, over the years, lost her hold on reality, wandering the
country, and making complaints to assorted FBI offices all
over the place.
She was here briefly in late October, arriving
unannounced. I had not seen her in some 30 years.
She stayed for a few days; I did her laundry,
repacked her; saw to having her prescriptions filled and purchased a
ticket for her to get back to California, where she said she'd kept her
apartment in a complex for the elderly and disabled. And then
she disappeared entirely, so I filed a report of her as a missing
person. It took more than two months for her to turn up, but
she walked into an FBI office in another state to make a complaint,
they found the missing persons report, and they notified the police
department, which notified me.
With a lawyer in California advising me and being immensely
kind, I bought some of my niece's personal personal items from the
apartment in California from which, as it turns out, she was evicted in
October; and am trying to deal with the social services people in the
state where she has alighted, and was briefly in a care facility, but
departed. Her parents are dead; her brothers and sister want
nothing to do with her.
For many of us, mental illness is shameful and embarrassing, but it
does occur, even in the best of families. More than anything
else, it is sad, and it is frustrating, We can't expect
people who are mentally ill to behave like people who are not, and we
cannot really relate to the way they think. The law makes it hard to
deal with appropriately. But I'm trying.
Knit on,

Some of you will know that I have been chasing the story of Indian Potatoes around for a little while, without a lot of success in discovering what they actually are.
One of my followers told me about a place called Potato Mountain, in the Chilcotin, where Natives harvested potatoes every year and where they had special ceremonies to celebrate their harvest.
Alexander Caulfield Anderson wrote a few essays in his later years -- essays which listed the Native foods he saw in his fur trade years, mostly at Fort Alexandria, but also at Fort Colvile.
So far I have been unable to find any mention of Indian potatoes in his writings, or in those of James Anderson, his son.
But I did stumble on Potato Mountain -- the local library hosted a writer named Bruce Fraser who had just published a book of fiction called, "On Potato Mountain; a Chilcotin Mystery."
That confirmed to me that Potato Mountain did exist, and according to the map in the above mentioned book, Potato Mountain is a high ridge of land that runs north-south between the upper reaches of the Chilko River, which flows north into the Chilcotin River, and the Homathko River which runs south from Tatlayoko Lake through Waddington Canyons and into Bute Inlet on the coast north of Vancouver.
And in fact, when I look at my copy of the Canadian Board of Geographical Names (Gazetteer of Canada) for British Columbia, I find the Potato Range of mountains listed:
"Between Chilko and Tatlayoko Lakes, Range 2, Coast district."
So now that we know where the Potato Mountain is, I need to ask what kind of potatoes the Natives harvest there.
The book, On Potato Mountain, tells me this, and this statement is in the words of a Tsihlquot'in man named Antoine:
"Before my time, before Reserves, our people survive on the land and water. In summer, Tsihlquot'in fish salmon returning from sea to spawn in the streams and lakes; Chilko, Taseko, and Puntzi. They hunt deer, moose, and the caribou; pick sour berries and dig succulent roots on Potato Mountain...."
What roots? For the answer to that question, I go to the experts.
I have already told you that I never found any "potatoes" in the writings of Alexander Caulfield Anderson and his son, James Robert Anderson.
Both of these men would have been considered experts in that field, at that time at least.
But new experts have emerged; they have talked to the Natives and learned their stories and they have studied the plants that Natives used.
One such expert is a botanist named Nancy J. Turner, who is a professor of Environmental Studies at the University of Victoria and who works with the Royal British Columbia Museum staff.
She has written three or four books on ethnobotany, and one of these books is called, "Food Plants of Interior First Peoples."
In Nancy Turner's book, I am able to identify some of the plants that would have been labelled "Indian potatoes."
The Mariposa Lily (Calochortus macrocarpus Dougl.) is a member of the Lily family which also carries the name of Desert Lily, Sweet Onion, and "Wild Potato."
It is a perennial with a tapering, deep seated bulb, and striking lavender or pink three petalled flowers born singly or in pairs at the top of the plant. The plant likes dry hillsides and plains and usually grows in light sandy soil. It flourishes east of the Coast range, south of Williams Lake, in the interior Plateau and also in the Columbia and Kootenay River valleys to the east. All the interior Salish groups from the Ktunaxa (Kootenay) to the Tsilhqut'in, ate the small elongated bulbs of Mariposa Lily, which they called "Sweet Onions," or "Wild Potatoes." Generally they harvested the lily bulbs in the spring, from April to June. Nancy Turner describes the bulbs as "crisp and sweet, so people usually ate them raw.." But if enough were collected the Natives threaded and dried them, with or without steaming them first.
The Mariposa Lily might be the plant that grows on Potato Mountain, but there are other plants, including some Lilies, that are also sometimes called "Indian potato."
Yellow Avalanche Lily (Erythronium grandiflorum, Pursh), called Glacier Lily, Yellow Dog-tooth violet, Snow Lily, Indian Sweet Potato, or Indian Potato.
This lily is a perennial with an elongated, deeply buried corm-like bulb. The plant usually bears two lance-shaped leaves, pointed and tapered at the base. The flower is erect, about 15 cm. tall, bearing one or sometimes more nodding golden-yellow flowers up to 5cm across with prominent stamens and pistil. We all know what tiger lilies look like; in appearance the Avalanche Lily looks like white tiger lilies. The blooming season is from April to August, depending on the elevation. Considering that my original source also told me about "nodding potatoes," I think this plant might be the plant the Natives call Nodding Potatoes.
Avalanche Lilies grow in mountains and high valleys from Vancouver Island to the Rocky Mountains. Their slender, starchy bulbs rank with Bitter-root, wild onions, and Spring Beauty in importance as a food source for the southern interior. The Natives dig the plant in April to August, and steam them or roast them in hot ashes. To preserve the bulbs for winter they let them soften and peel and thread them on a string of twisted Red cedar bark before hanging them up to dry. In the past, these bulbs in strings were an important trading item for the Natives.
Chocolate Lilies were another bulb that the Natives ate, but it appears that these do not grow in the area around Potato Mountain, so we must ignore them for now. The Yellowbell Lily also did not grow so far north -- but the Tiger Lily did, for Alexander Caulfield Anderson described how the Natives harvested and prepared the Tiger Lily he found around Fort Alexandria. This letter was written on the 3rd September 1845, and is addressed to Sir William J. Hooker, of Kew Gardens:
"Our New Caledonian fields have already, I believe, yielded their humble treasures very liberally to poor David Douglas, who, if my memory fail me not, visited in 1833, when I was stationed elsewhere. Thus I cannot hope that my [small] collection will possess much novelty for you. The Tza-chin or edible Bitter Root of N.C. (which by the way appears to me to be nearly identical with the Tiger-Lily of our gardens) might perhaps be entitled to some little note as a bonne-bouche if cultivated in England. The mode of preparing it is either in small subterranean kilns, or by steaming until soft and mushy. It is easily raised from the seed, of which I have sent a supply; there is also some bulbs, but I fear their germinating principle will be destroyed before they reach their destination." In his manuscript, British Columbia, Anderson gives more information about the tiger lily when he says: "The natives of the latter place [Fort Alexandria] use the root as an article of food. Carefully steamed it is an excellent substitute for potato -- its flavour somewhat like that of a roasted chestnut, with a slight bitter which renders it very agreeable."
You may have noticed the 'Bitter root' word in Anderson's letter, above. Though Anderson also called the tiger-lily the 'edible bitter-root,' in this same letter he talks of another plant called spetlum, or bitter-root. The tiger lily does earn the bitter-root name Anderson gave it, however, according to Nancy J. Turner:
"Tiger Lily is a tall perennial with a white ovoid bulb, up to 5 cm. in diameter, composed of thick fleshy scales like garlic cloves." The stem is slender, the flowers are bright orange, dark spotted near the centre. The Natives used the large bulbs of Tiger Lily wherever they could find them. The flavour of the bulb was strong, peppery and bitter, and they were used like pepper or garlic to flavour foods. The Tsilhquot'in called the bulb 'beaver-stick,' and harvested the bulbs in the early spring; the Okanagan and other southern Natives harvest them in the fall.
I have mentioned two other plants: the bitter-root, and Spring Beauty. Let me now tell you what they are, from Nancy J. Turner's "Food Plants of Interior First Peoples."
Bitter-root "is a low stemless perennial arising from a branching deep-seated fleshy taproot, which is grey-skinned with a white inner core that may turn pink on exposure to the air." The plant grows in the driest areas of the B.C. interior, and is now considered rare. But to the Okanagan and the Thompson River Natives, this plant was the most important of all the edible roots. Amongst its other names is the name, 'spatlum' -- almost the same name that Anderson quoted to Hooker one hundred and fifty years ago! However, this plant does not grow in the Chilcotin district and will not be the one of the potato-type plants that grow on Potato Mountain.
Spring Beauty -- However, the Spring Beauty could be one of the Indian potatoes harvested on Potato Mountain. The Spring Beauty is a perennial that grows 5 to 15 cm. tall with one or more stems arising from a shallow corm which might be 5 cm or more in diameter. The corm is brown-skinned and white inside, and the flowers are usually white with five petals and two broad sepals about a centimeter or more wide. The plant grows in dry sagebrush hills, usually at higher elevations in the central and southern part of the province on both sides of the Cascade Mountains. The Tsilhquot'in people certainly ate this plant in large quantities. They dug up the corms after the plants had flowered, from late May to late June depending on the elevation. The corms are not deeply buried, and Natives used a short digging stick to pry them out of the earth, replanting the smaller corms to allow them to develop. They cooked the corms by steaming them, or washed them and boiled them like potatoes. In fact, Spring Beauty resembles potatoes in flavour but are a little sweeter. These Indian potatoes could also be harvested in the autumn, and are said to be sweeter at this time.
I think I am satisfied that the Indian potatoes that grow on Potato Mountain are not potatoes -- as we know them -- but lilies or other bulb/corm producing wild plants.
I don't know if any of my readers are interested in the descriptions of the plants the Natives used, or that Anderson wrote about.
If so, let me know. I have lots of information on this particular subject and can wander for hours through the edible meadows that belonged to the Natives who lived around Fort Alexandria or in the southern regions of the province -- especially now that I have Nancy J. Turner's book and can more readily identify the plants and flowers that Anderson spoke of so often.

"Wapato" -- Sagittaria latifolia is a plant found in shallow wetlands and is sometimes known as broadleaf arrowhead, duck potato, Indian potato, or wapato. This plant produces edible tubers that were extensively used by the Indigenous peoples of the Americas, esp the Chinook of the Lower Columbia River living around what is now Ridgefield, WA. see: www.friendsofmacdonald.comReplyDelete
Yes, we knew about these plants but I did not include them in the listing; perhaps I should. They grew or grow around Pitt Lake, lower Fraser River. I don't know if they grow in the interior of BC. Thanks; will check the website.ReplyDelete

Hi People, i am moving soon and have discovered the gas fire in my house is fired by a back boiler, this must make it quite old, So i am toying with removing it and having a wood burning stove instead,
I was just wondering if anyone had any recent experiences of having one fitted ,a rough guide on costs and lastly, How many wooden logs would i need to see me over the wintertime.
Any thoughts or advice will be gratefully recieved,
I thank you in advance, Cheers Cam77punk

I can help with the last part of your question.
We get through about two or three baskets of log on a winters day. We have a big stove, heating quite a big room in an otherwise unheated room. We use a mix of logs, mainly larch but also bits and pieces of lime, oak. Unfortunately you have asked a how long is a piece of string question but perhaps this will give you some idea.

If it will be your only form or heating you will need something like from 2-6 cu m of hardwood, possibly more of softwood. You may need more if it id is very cold weather or the house is exposed to the wind or cold. When you are buying it, if you are buying in, make sure you know what a 'load' is. It can vary from a 1ton sand dumpy sack upwards to 2-3 cu m.

What size of house are you heating? Will you want rads and HW, size of rooms? And how much space do you have to store wood? Think hard about all of the above.
Woodburners come in a range of sizes, specs and prices.
We got a woodwarm with a back boiler - its in our living room , heats 4 rads and gives us HW for the kitchen sink and the bath.
Our wood is free and we burn between 3 and 5 tonnes a year. This means we have 3 stacks outside (but we have an acre so its not a bind). We work from home so during the day we burn in the woodburner in the kitchen only (yes, we have 2 woodburners)

Are you sure if your wood is free. You have to drop the trees and then reduce them to logs. Jack would kill me if I said our wood was free.

I once heated a three bed semi with a wood burning boiler. You'll need a shed-load, literally. A stack that would fill completely a 6x8 shed. During the other 8 months of the year I burnt a similar quantity for hot water and evening heating.
Read Cathryn's reply three times, and then work out how much effort her slave expends.
I calculated that for me, being employed at minimum wage and spending the pay on gas, involved less time and a lot less effort. (Only self-employed farmers work harder that wood collectors, it seems).

the flue is usually the expensive bit - if you need one fitted - and you usually do, you can be looking at 800+ on that alone. It's worth shopping around for getting a new flue fitted, the stove shop may well not be the best price. A stove will be a few hundred - depending on how big, how fancy and if it has a back boiler etc. If you take the room dimensions and a rough guide to height of chimney along to a woodstove showroon, they will be able to give you a better idea
how much wood? much more than you imagine. But you can supplement it with free wood such as pallets etc, once it becomes known you are willing to take scrap wood, it is surprising how much you get given.
but do it anyway, regardless of economics - a woodburner is a lovely thing.

We used to have gas fire with back boiler and it was burning money.
About 5 years ago we changed it into small multifuel stove and new combi boiler...total job was around £5000...it was lot of money even then but we did have to rip down 'half of the living room' and rebuild the fireplace.
In mild winters..like this one...we hardly need our combi for heating..it is more of 'back up or boost' should we need it and off course its for hot water. Even ours is small stove, it is able to keep our 3 bed terrace in comfy 18'C..and we get through 3-4 cubic meters of 'free' logs in a year, about 3 of them during winter.
We do use few bags of coal too, as that will kick heat more during cold spells...no need help from central heating with coal.
We were thinking to have more extensive woodburner option, but for not knowing how long we have access for all the 'free' wood, decided that combi would be good idea ...hmm...
'Free'...we only need to get them to our house..chop, stack, dry and store them..ONLY...
It is LOT of work...takes quite a LOT of room in garden and results LOT of cleaning...but its all worth it!

How are you heating the rest of the house?
Our woodburner also heats the hot water - might be worth looking at getting Solar in for the summer BUT I think that running radiators as well is pretty ambitious.
You will need some sort of heat for the rest of the house also think about what happens if you are away in winter
My advise would be
1. Best insulation you can get
2. New boiler
3. Woodburner possibly heating hot water tank as well
4. Solar hot water

smokeless zone or not makes a difference to both the price of the burner (exempt cleanburn burners are a grand or more)and what wood you can use(in a smoke less zone there is a maximum moisture content, no treated timber etc etc specified for exemption)
how much wood depends on how much heat you require and what type of timber you can obtain .have a look at the archives for the characteristics of various types of wood

Hi all, yes our wood is free.
We get the occasional tree offered, but its usually down already. We also get sacks of joiners offcuts, old fence panels(great for kindling), and builders joists etc. 2 years ago we had wood from 3 demolished houses - big storage, but we can spensd a few days in the summer, sorting, cutting and stacking.
Yeah, we have to expend energy on most of it, but so what?

Still not free then.
We often do the same sums.
We have an oil boiler, that we try not to use. (Comes on when it is really cold for an hour in the morning.)
We have a log burner which is joined to all the rads (6 bed house) which also does all the hot water, and we have 90 tubes of solar for hot water.
All heat goes through a tank and feeds the house and hot water filled washing machine.

We (we
) have a days work pulling it out of the wood. A day of bringing it down to the shed and two days of having it converted into logs. We need to do this about once every three years.
A friend of mine goes and collects wood after the forestry have cut down and cleared areas. You can purchase the right to do this. She regards the several days of chopping it into logs as good exercise.

I would suggest getting a stove that will take at least 10" long logs and that will heat more than one room with doors open. The bane of our life is tiny stoves calculated to heat only one room that only take matchsticks. In fact if it takes less than 8" long we have to pass, as we can't cut them, and we charge a premium for 8".
Even if you have to buy in logs they are probably better value per calorie (joule if you prefer), than other fuels. The calculations have been done, and it is fact (try looking on the Forestry Commission website; it might be there somewhere).
Yes, log fires are a lot of work, even if you buy the wood, do make dust, but if you get a flat topped one you can cook on, you aren't stuck if you get a power cut. Solar water heating is also a good idea as this means you don't use power to heat water, particularly during summer.

I was told the license form the Forestry people was no longer available. Is there any way of checking as we have loads here we could go and 'tidy'.

The Reds renewed the contracts of every coach except pitching coach Dick Pole. The Reds will look at internal candidates. My guess is Ted Power and Mario Soto will be interviewed.
There's also a chance that St. Louis pitching coach Dave Duncan will become available. That would be an interesting first meeting with Bronson Arroyo. Duncan was recently quoted about how much more input he had when Walt Jocketty was GM in St. Louis.
Pole left the park after being told of the decision by Dusty Baker.
Third base coach Mark Berry, first base coach Billy Hatcher, hitting coach Brook Jacoby, bullpen coach Juan Lopez, bench coach Chris Speier and bullpen catcher Mike Stefanski will return in their same roles.
Jocketty on the firing:
"I think it was just as an organization we felt Dick has done a good job to this point. But we felt going forward things needed to change. There's no real specific reason.
"We don't have a clear candidate. We'll formulate the list. Find the guy that will be with this organization for a long time. We've got some good young pitchers coming along. We wanted to make sure we find the right guy to develop them.
"We'll look at some guys internally. We've got a couple guys in mind."
"It's tough going into the last day."
Baker on the firing:
"I told Dick when I got here today. Naturally, he was hurt. It was very difficult for me to tell him because you know how close me and him are. I'd be the one to tell him. Like Walt said it was a tough decision, an organizational decision. Don't want to get into specifics. I don't think that would serve any point."
"It's not fair to anybody to air anything publicly."
Dusty and Dick
The first thing that strikes me about this article is the role of Dusty Baker. It's interesting to note that this move was made against Dusty's will. There have been questions about just how much influence Dusty wields in the organization. The questions were inevitable given the fact that Paul Bako, Jerry Hairston Jr., and Corey Patterson were all acquired during Dusty's tenure. Such acquisitions almost certainly bore the fingerprints of one Dusty Baker, who said he liked to have "options."
More recently, there was the acquisition of Willy Taveras. It's unclear where the responsibility for that particular acquisition should lie, but at the very least it has the feel of Dusty to it.
At the very least, it seems likely that Dusty and Walt Jocketty worked in lock step. Dusty had some measure of influence on the front office.
However, it's obvious from his quotes that Dusty was opposed to replacing his friend Dick Pole. Of Dusty's many personality traits, his unfailing loyalty to "his guys" may be the defining characteristic.
Dusty's loyalty hasn't changed, but his pull with the front office may have. That certainly wouldn't be a bad thing for Reds fans.
Now What?
Now that the Reds have parted ways with Dick Pole, who will be the replacement?
This is an opportunity for the Reds to make some serious noise. To really make a splash and regain some relevance in the baseball world. If they make the right choice, the Reds could really "move the needle." Over the last decade or two, the Reds have slipped into irrelevance. They are largely dismissed by the mainstream media and the baseball community at large. The only time the Reds have "moved the needle" in recent memory was the acquisition of Josh Hamilton. This is another opportunity to "move the needle," though admittedly on a smaller scale.
There are two elite options potentially available to fill the position. The Reds could turn to Hall of Fame pitching coach Leo Mazzone, who stands shoulder to shoulder with mentor Johnny Sain as the best pitching coach in history. Odd as it seems, Mazzone has expressed interest in returning to the game, but hasn't found much interest in his services. Still, what better way for the Reds to foster its homegrown pitching talent than to bring in The Pope of Pitching?
Mazzone combines the talent and the publicity that the Reds should covet. He would improve the performance of the Reds pitchers and give the entire organization a big dose of credibility. He should be at the very top of the list...scratch that....he should BE the list..... and would have more impact than any potential free agent.
The other possible option floating around is current St. Louis Cardinals pitching coach Dave Duncan. Duncan has expressed dissatisfaction with the Cardinals organization and has a long history with Walt Jocketty. Duncan has worked miracles for the Cardinals and his philosophy of emphasizing the sinker would play well in Great American Ballpark.
The best in-house option appears to be Ted Power. He's done a nice job with the young pitchers on the farm, but he may be more valuable shaping young prospects than fine tuning established pitchers at the MLB level.
Final Thoughts
The Reds have a real opportunity to improve the team, but they have to choose wisely. Picking the right pitching coach could both help get Aaron Harang back on track and the pitching prospects take a step forward. Adding the right pitching coach to the addition of Scott Rolen could significantly improve the Reds run prevention in 2010.
Personally, I think it's absurd that they aren't calling up Leo Mazzone and offering him a blank check to come to Cincinnati. Sadly, it's probably a real long-shot at this point, but it's also a no-brainer. He could really alter the fortunes of the organization like no other manager/coach in all of baseball. Leo certainly has my vote...which, of course, means it won't happen.

Earth from Space: Dubai's artificial islands
This image features two manmade islands – Palm Jumeirah (left) and The World – located just off the coast of Dubai in the United Arab Emirates.
Palm Jumeirah is the smallest of three massive palm-shaped islands, which also include Palm Jebel Ali and Palm Deira. The World is a collection of 300 islets, each ranging in size from 23 226 to 83 613 sq m, built in the shape of a world map.
The World covers an area of 9 km in width and 7 km in length and is surrounded by an oval-shaped breakwater. The first phase of its development, which included dredging some 320 million cubic metres of sand from the sea and the creation of the breakwater, was completed on 10 January 2008 when the last piece of rock was laid on the breakwater.
The network of artificial islands that is reshaping this segment of the Persian Gulf coast is the world's largest land reclamation effort and is possible because of the shallow depth of the gulf and the wide continental shelf off the Dubai coast.
ESA's Proba satellite acquired this image on 5 November 2007 with its Compact High Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (CHRIS), designed to acquire hyperspectral images with a spatial resolution of 17 metres across an area of 13 kilometres. Weighing just 14 kg, CHRIS is the smallest hyperspectral imager ever flown in space and can acquire up to five images at a time.

Dear Daniel, Maarten and Nick, thank you very much for sharing your thoughts
on this. One thing I must add, is that (IMHO) for many users -return
list- is the
main hint on what results are left after the program (not documentation, and
even more surely not looking into the source code). And inconsistent returns
in interactive mode and batch mode can be a source of mistakes. Other than
that there is no problem now, that the reason for such a behavior is clear.
Thank you, Sergiy Radyakin

text: Armstrong was banned from professional cycling and stripped of his Tour de France titles after a US Anti-Doping Agency report said he was involved with "the most sophisticated, professionalised and successful doping programme that sport has ever seen" [GALLO/GETTY]Lance Armstrong is being sued for more than $1.5m by a British newspaper which lost a libel action for publishing doping allegations against the now-disgraced cyclist. The Sunday Times paid Armstrong the equivalent of about $485,000 in 2006 to settle a case after it reprinted claims from a book in 2004 that he took performance-enhancing drugs. But this year, the US Anti-Doping Agency found that Armstrong led a massive doping program on his teams. Armstrong was stripped of his seven Tour de France titles and banned from cycling for life. The Sunday Times announced in an article in its latest edition that it has issued legal papers against Armstrong. "It is clear that the proceedings were baseless and fraudulent,'' the paper said in a letter to Armstrong's lawyers. "Your representations that you had never taken performance enhancing drugs were deliberately false.'' The paper, which is owned by Rupert Murdoch's News Corp., said its total claim against Armstrong is "likely to exceed'' $1.6m. "The Sunday Times is now demanding a return of the settlement payment plus interest, as well as its costs in defending the case,'' the paper said. SOURCE: AP Sport Cycling France

Mark Ballas Answers Questions About Cory Monteith And DWTS, New Photo Shoot With Derek Hough
Pop Candies caught up with Dancing With The Stars Mark Ballas leaving the Bootsy. He shares his thoughts and sympathies for Glee's Cory Monteith. He also takes a time out to talk a little of Dancing With The Stars and who he'd like to dance with in the new season.
Also, you can see some fun pics of Mark attending Chelsie Hightower and Peta Murgatroyd's Birthday Charity Event for Unlikely Heroes at Getty Images. Here he is below pictured with Chelsie and Peta as well. I always liked him paired with Chelsie….uhhh, dancing that is. 🙂
One more thing: Be sure to head over to Pure Derek Hough to read about a new "mysterious" photo shoot with Derek Hough and possibly Mark Ballas when you get a chance. Sounds fascinating! Now if we only knew more?

Welcome to Watch List, where we identify five things on TV to watch while you stay at home and watch the NFL lockout finally come to an end. Hooray for America! LET'S GO!
THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH AUNT DIANE – 9:00PM (HBO) Another summer Monday, another gripping HBO documentary. In 2009, a woman named Diane Schuler deliberately drove on the wrong side of the Taconic State Parkway in New York, smashing into another car in a fiery wreck that killed eight people, including Schuler, her daughter, her three nieces, and three people in the other car. It's one of the most horrifying vehicular murder/suicides in history, and tonight HBO hopes to shed a bit of light on what made Schuler go on her fateful drive. Don't expect any ironclad answers. ANTICIPATION: SAD!
HOARDERS – 9:00PM (A&E) And tonight's hoarding item of choice is… paper! Meet a hoarder whose massive collection of paper represents the state's worst fire hazard. I'm disgusted with these paper hoarders. The idea that people would just leave old paper lying around… (looks at own desk)… ah well, perhaps I'm being too prejudgmental. ANTICIPATION: DEAD TREES!
ANTHONY BOURDAIN: NO RESERVATIONS – 9:00PM (Travel Channel) Tony is in Naples tonight, and he's warned everyone on Twitter that tonight's episode constitutes serious food porn. Do not watch if hungry. ANTICIPATION: PIZZA AND STUFF!
THE BACHELORETTE – 8:00PM (ABC) We're down to the final three, with Ashley and the guys heading to Fiji for some fun in the sun. And again I express my incredible dismay that such gorgeous travel plans are wasted on the likes of "Bachelorette" contestants. I would appreciate you more, Fiji! Just give me a chance! ANTICIPATION: UNFAIR!
THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF NEW YORK CITY – 10:00PM (Bravo – an NBC/Universal network) Part 1 of the reunion. It last 90 freakin' minutes. They should just put these women on a 24-hour security monitor already. ANTICIPATION: UNFAIR!
Monday Watch List: Life's Wreckage
Welcome to Watch List, where we identify five things on TV to watch while you stay at home and watch the NFL lockout finally come to an end. Hooray for America! LET'S GO!

"Like any true craftsman, he was able to mold raw material into a magical synthesis, creating a marvellous working system, at once instinctively true and intrinsically beautiful." – Shani Oates on Robert Cochrane, Founder of the Clan of Tubal Cain
Who tells your story? Is it the fallen leaves that line your door speaking of your past travels, the lines etched by experience on skin and bone, or do you stand ready to relate the world through words that you alone craft with care?
While digging in to Judika Illes' Field Guide to Witches, one of the latest in Weiser's Field Guide series*, I ran across a familiar name that's intrigued me since I first encountered him while researching contemporary Pagan traditions years ago.
Robert Cochrane (born Roy Bowers) is an enigmatic figure in the world of emergent beliefs. While claiming a hereditary lineage to the "Old Religion" as the impetus for his Clan of Tubal Cain traditions, he worked studiously to support, develop and literally create his beliefs whole cloth through research, ritual and practice. His teachings were built on fragments of myth, religion and suppositions based on archaeological evidence, all filtered through an active ritual practice that shaped the interpretations put on the underlying ideas.
As with many spiritual explorers and would be leaders, Cochrane's life was not void of controversies, however, he is one of those rare few whose ability to weave stories, traditions and innovations that connect to the deeper truths, move him beyond charges of fraudulent intention and into the realm of true storytellers capable of bringing their "lies" to life.
All That's Old is New Again
Critics have often questioned the legitimacy of Cochrane's (and really all Neo-Pagan) claims to tradition. The historian Ronald Hutton's research seems to discredit the idea that any vestiges of pre-Christian belief were able to maintain an organized foothold in the Western world through 2000 years of dedicated persecution by Roman, Christian and secular authorities.
This is a legitimate question for historians, but I would argue it is not necessarily important to the value of these practices and beliefs. In the Judaic traditions this process of invention is clearly detailed in the Torah and Tannak during the many "rediscoveries" of G-d's word throughout the history of the Hebrew people. In Christianity this process formed the basis for the religion itself, with the early Christians utilizing Jewish, Greek, African and Eastern sources to formulate their basic understanding of the events that provide the basis for their beliefs.
Islam, Buddhism, Taoism, all have their basis in this process of reworking older traditions. Hinduism is perhaps the most stark example of this with it's foundation resting in British Colonial experiments to unify a diverse system of local beliefs with overarching religious systems developed by the upper castes of Indian society.
Mytho-Poetic Returns
One of Cochrane's sources for the development of his ideas was the poet Robert Graves. The White Goddess – A Historical Grammar of Poetic Myth, which Graves published in 1948, claimed to explore the true nature of poetry as a devotional practice to a Neolithic Goddess. Exploring these ideas through Celtic mythology and the interpretation of archaeological clues Graves created a vision of a long hidden tradition rediscovered during a time of crisis and change.
Published shortly after the end of World War II, The White Goddess provided the public with a reassessment of the very same quest for tradition and archaic continuance that had been the basis for much of the Fascist propaganda in Italy, Japan and Germany during the war years. Academic historians, however, were quick to point out the inaccuracies, speculations and quite bluntly, lies, used to prove Graves' thesis.
To judge the work in such a harsh light misses one of the key elements that Graves was working with, poetry. While academics handle facts with some amount of precision, poetry and practicality are not areas that they move through as easily. Graves work, while being factually inaccurate, was practically relevant and in turn actionable in a way that historical facts are not.
Action at a Distance
The same questions can be raised today for groups working with the ideas of alchemy, myth and storytelling to guide society towards sustainable solutions. Did Medieval alchemists concern themselves with the triple bottom line? Would they recognize contemporary concepts that are labeled alchemical? Probably not in the way we would hope, but they might recognize within our contemporary understanding the seeds that can give birth to true transmutation if properly cared for and watered.
In a text attributed to Edward Kelly, the conman and seer who assisted Dr. John Dee, there is a personal reflection that fits well the path of Cochrane, Graves and all those who seek to renew the body of truth through fragments of the past:
"My mind, remaining unbound, has all this time exercised itself in the study of that philosophy which is despised only by the wicked and foolish, but is praised and admired by the wise. Nay, the saying that none but fools and lawyers hate and despise Alchemy has passed into a proverb."
So who tells your story? Is it hedged in by historical facts? Lost in the lingering legalism of shortsighted lawyers? Have you taken it upon yourself to craft your own tale?
Or, is it built on conversations, letters from friends, tale tellers and poets?
"Dear Robert Graves,
I have read and re-read your book, 'The White Goddess,' with admiration, utter amazement and a taint of horror. I can see your point when you write of inspirational work, and realise that it must have resulted from quite an internal 'pressure,' since from my own experience, that is the way she works…" from Robert Cochran's Letters to Robert Graves

White House makes economics focus of Asia trip
Baku: The White House is focusing President Barack Obama's upcoming Asia-Pacific trip on the economic benefits of closer ties to the region, but regional security concerns are likely to be pushed higher on the president's agenda because of the tense situation between Russia and Ukraine.
Japan and South Korea, two of the four countries Obama will visit next week, are eyeing the fluid developments in Eastern Europe through the lens of their own sea and air disputes with China, and North Korean provocations. The leaders of Japan and South Korea, both close U.S. allies, will want Obama's reassurance that the U.S. will back them up.
Obama also doesn't have much to offer his hosts and he is not expected to make any major announcements while traveling.
That's partly because negotiations continue indefinitely on a Pacific-wide, free-trade deal among the U.S. and 11 other countries, including Japan. Disputes over access to markets, agriculture and automobiles have become sticking points in talks between the U.S. and Japan, according to senior administration officials who briefed reporters on Friday.
The administration long had wanted those talks to conclude by the end of last year.
"The president's trip is an important opportunity to underscore our continued focus on the Asia-Pacific region," Susan Rice, Obama's national security adviser, said Friday. "President Obama has pursued a strategy of rebalancing to the Asia-Pacific region, given its stature as the world's largest emerging region."
Half of all growth outside the United States over the next five years is expected to come from Asia, Rice said, adding that the region also includes several important U.S. allies, developing democracies and emerging powers.
"So we increasingly see our top priorities as tied to Asia, whether it's accessing new markets or promoting exports or protecting our security interests and promoting our core values," Rice said.
Obama's eight-day trip, which begins Tuesday, makes up for a visit that was planned for last fall but ultimately was canceled because Obama would have had to leave the country during the partial shutdown of the U.S. government that October. The cancellation raised fresh doubts about the U.S. commitment to the region.
The first stop is Japan, followed by South Korea, Malaysia and the Philippines.
Japan and Malaysia are welcoming Obama on official state visits that will include fancy dinners as well as time with the emperor of Japan and Malaysia's king.
Obama will be the first president to visit Malaysia since Lyndon B. Johnson went there in October 1966.
En route to Japan, Obama has scheduled a stop in Oso, Washington, to survey damage from a massive mudslide last month that killed 39 people. Obama also plans to meet with victims, emergency responders and recovery workers.

Beloved husband for 68 years of Margaret (Lionberger), he was the son of the late Walter R Skinner and Celeste MacMillan. Born July 15th 1921 in Webster Groves, MO, Stuart graduated from St. Louis Country Day School and earned a BSE degree from Princeton University in 1943, where he played on an undefeated soccer team. Graduating in the midst of WWII, Stuart enlisted as lieutenant in the Army-Air Corps, with duty at Wright Patterson AFB in Dayton, OH. While on leave from duty he married Peg Lionberger of Clayton, MO and later returned to St. Louis to begin his family and career. Stuart worked for many years as an industrial engineer and was heavily involved in the early days of design and management of corporate mainframe computer information systems at McDonnell Aircraft in St. Louis, and Thiokol Chemical and Anchor Darling Valve Co. in Philadelphia. As an Episcopalian, he was very active in the Church of St. Michael and St. George in St. Louis, and was for many years a tireless vestryman at St. Paul's Church in Chestnut Hill, PA. He did all of this while carrying out extensive renovations on two of his own family homes! Beyond soccer, Stuart enjoyed hockey, tennis and golf. He was a lifelong learner whose advice and knowledge was often sought by friends and loved ones. In addition to his wife, Peg, he leaves son, Stuart Jr of Norwood, MA, and daughters Marion Hornblower of Dedham, MA, and Julia Frater of Fish Creek WI. He is predeceased by his eldest daughter, Anne Wulfing of Ladue, MO. Stuart will also be greatly missed by his 7 grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren.

By Caroline Lambert, Executive Director YWCA Australia
Caroline Lambert represented the YWCA at the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in October. Every two years Commonwealth leaders meet to discuss global and Commonwealth issues, and agree collective policies and initiatives. CHOGMs act as the principal policy and decision-making forum to guide the strategic direction of the association. They are organised by the host nation in collaboration with the Commonwealth Secretariat. Caroline writes about the launching of the YWCA Pacific Young Women's Leadership Strategy.
The Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) was held in Perth, Western Australia, from October 28-30, 2011. The theme was "Building National Resilience, Building Global Resilience".
On October 27, YWCA members joined a roomful of CHOGM side-event participants to launch the YWCA Pacific Young Women's Leadership Strategy. The Strategy will help develop the current generation of Pacific women leaders. It sets out action areas that will support young women to be safe, respected, included, connected and skilled. In a highlight of the evening, young women from Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, Nauru, Kiriabti and Fiji brought to life the issues affecting young women's leadership development in the Pacific – starkly reminding us of the violence that many young women experience and challenging us to ensure that we work with young women rather than "at" young women.
Introducing Australia's newly appointed Global Ambassador for Women and Girls, YWCA Australia Vice President Roslyn Dundas, reflected on the importance of leadership positions which bring a focus to the issues of women and girls. Ambassador Penny Williams spoke of her recent visit to Vanuatu, where she spent time with women and men working for gender equality in urban and regional areas of the community, and learnt first-hand of the challenges of geography in transforming the cultural practices that inhibit women's leadership in the Pacific. Reflecting on her position, Ambassador Williams acknowledged the importance of high-level political commitment to women's leadership in ensuring that the impacts of policies on women and girls are considered. As we enjoyed the hospitality of our hosts, RSM Bird Cameron, we discussed the importance of moving conversations on gender equality into more resistant environments. We talked of using a range of arguments – from those which put forward the social justice and fairness principles to those which count the economic costs of failing to recognise women as equal partners. And we talked of recognising that our success measures might be different when we work in contexts that don't value gender equality – and that what we might count as a failure at the time could, ten years on, prove to be a turning point in an individual or institution.

Union County Amish congregation (Union County, Pennsylvania)
Union County Amish congregation, founded in the Buffalo Valley of Pennsylvania west of Lewisburg in 1837 by Samuel Lantz and six of his sons-in-law, of Leacock Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Several settlers with Amish names had acquired land there fifteen to twenty years earlier. Joining the Lantz family were Hannes and Jacob Beiler, brothers, Solomon Yoder, bishop, and John and Jacob Riehl of Mifflin County, Pennsylvania, and several other families from Lancaster and Mifflin counties and from Maryland. Two sons-in-law of Samuel Lantz, Elias Riehl, nephew of Solomon Yoder, and Christian Stoltzfus, were ordained bishop and deacon respectively and worked together harmoniously for many years. During the late 1870's when trouble developed between the bishop's and the deacon's sons, a ministers' committee from Mifflin County silenced the bishop and excommunicated the only two families who supported him. The bishop then united with the Juniata Mennonite congregation. After the death of Christian Stoltzfus in 1883 his sons and daughters and their families moved to Lyon County, Kansas, and Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. A few of the young people organized a Sunday school but the congregation had suffered a deathblow. The few remaining members who did not move away united with other denominations. Three cemeteries remain: Stoltzfus near Kelley Point, Lantz several miles south, and Beiler at the southern limits of the settlement. During the 1950s several reunions of the descendants of the early settlers had aroused interest in caring for the cemeteries. Mennonite families from the Lancaster Mennonite Conference began moving into the valley and in 1948 organized the Buffalo congregation. The membership in 1956 was 85, with Jacob J. Brubaker and John H. Erb as ministers.

Load carrying capacity
All SDAF housings are intended for loads acting perpendicularly toward the support surface. If the housing is supported over its entire base and the loads are purely perpendicular, loads are limited only by the bearing.
If loads acting in other directions occur, or if the housing is not supported over its entire base, be sure that the magnitude of the load is permissible for the housing and the attachment bolts.
Load carrying capacity of the housing
Guideline values for the safe loads of housings made of grey cast iron are listed in the product tables for bearings on an adapter sleeve and for bearings with a cylindrical bore. The safe loads have been calculated using a safety factor of 5 against base fracture and a factor of 2 against cap bolt yield.
For housings made of ductile iron, the values obtained from the product tables should be multiplied by a factor of 1,5 for ASTM A536 grade 65-45-12. For information about ASTM A536 grade 80-60-03, contact the SKF application engineering service. For purely axial loads, static or dynamic, the loads on the housing should not exceed 65% of P180°. For bearings mounted on adapter sleeves, the permissible axial load is dependent on the adapter sleeve.
Additional housing support
When the housing is subjected to loads acting parallel to the support surface, it may be necessary to pin the housing to the support surface or to provide a stop to counter the load. When loads act at angles between 60° and 120°, or when the axial loads are greater than 5% of P180°, the housing should be pinned to the support surface or a stop should be provided to counter the load. The dowel pins or stop should be sufficiently strong to accommodate the loads acting parallel to the support surface.
