Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone says he will not bear any grudge if star striker Radamel Falcao decides to seek a new challenge.
Falcao has scored 32 goals in 36 appearances in all competitions so far this season and has been linked with a summer move to Monaco, Manchester City and Chelsea.
The 27-year-old Colombian forward is under contract with Atletico until 2016 and yesterday played down talk of a move, but hinted it could happen if the Copa del Rey champions decide to cash in.
Simeone denied a deal has been made with Monaco following Atletico`s 2-0 win over a Singapore Selection side in a charity friendly and said he would give Falcao his blessing if he decides to move on.
"I don't know anything official yet," Simeone told Marca.
"I have known him since he was a child and I wish him all the best. If he feels that he needs to make a move, I'll be happy for him. If he stays with us, I'll be happy too."
Falcao yesterday claimed he has not given any thought to a potential move at the end of the season but said he may end up leaving the Spanish capital if Atletico decide it is the right time to sell.
"I haven't thought about a move too much," he told Sky Sports News.
"The reality is that I have three years left on my contract with Atletico.
"It's true that last season during the summer there was a lot of speculation with clubs being named as a possible destination, but the truth is that I've not thought about it.
"Of course, it depends on what the financial needs of my club are and what sort of efforts Atletico make to keep me."
Monaco are the current favourites to sign the Colombia international, but Barclays Premier League side Chelsea are also being tipped to secure his services.
However, Falcao says he is not focussing on any speculation.
"I've been trying not to think too much about the rumours of clubs being linked with me," he said.
"Instead, I've been focusing on my objectives as a player and as a team member of Atletico Madrid."
Simeone was also asked about the future of Belgian goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, who is on loan at Atletico from Chelsea, and said: "We are working on keeping him for another year."

Reuters reports — Syrian helicopter gunships and artillery pounded two key areas of Aleppo on Tuesday, extending the army's campaign to control the country's biggest city, but rebel fighters said troops loyal to President Bashar al-Assad had been forced to retreat.

While rebels say they will turn Aleppo into the "grave" of the Assad government, thousands of residents have fled the city and those who remain face shortages of food and fuel and the ever-present risk of injury or death.
For days the Syrian troops' weapons have given them the upper hand during key battles in Aleppo, but the rebels – now armed with powerful shoulder fired anti-aircraft missiles -- are preparing for a different kind of fight. NBC's Richard Engel reports.
Aleppo residents have mixed reactions to Syria rebels
"We have hardly any power or water, our wives and kids have left us here to watch the house and have gone somewhere safer. said Jumaa, a 45-year-old construction worker, who complained it was nearly impossible to observe the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan, now in progress. Read the full story.

Birds might be evolving to dodge vehicles
- Cliff swallows%27 road deaths dropped during 30-year study
- The birds that are dying on the roads have longer wings
- Swallows%27 average wing length shortened by millimeters
Does a new study offer a bird's-eye view into evolution?
Fewer cliff swallows are being killed by moving vehicles because of evolution, suggests a study published online today in the journal Current Biology.
"These birds have been exposed to vehicles and roads for 30-plus years," says Charles Brown, the study's lead author. "During that time, they have evolved to avoid being killed by traffic. Evolution can happen very rapidly, and some animals can adapt to urban environments very rapidly."
The decrease in road deaths is likely because these birds have shorter wingspans, making them more agile fliers, or they are learning to avoid vehicles, Brown says.
In the western USA, cliff swallows, which live in colonies, have nests around highway bridges, overpasses and road culverts. They sit on roads to pick up gravel for their gizzards to help digest food and to sunbathe.
The road kill index decreased from about 20 cliff swallows a year at the start of the study in 1983 in Nebraska to an estimated two birds a year by the study's end in 2012. This is only an estimate of those killed because more died but were not found.
The drop can't be explained by declines in the bird population or in traffic, the study suggests. The birds that continue to die on the roads have longer wingspans. Wing lengths vary between 104 mm (4.1 inches) and 115 mm (4.5 inches), Brown says.
"Longer-winged swallows sitting on a road probably can't take off as quickly, or gain altitude as quickly as shorter-winged birds, and thus the former are more likely to collide with an oncoming vehicle," says Brown, a professor of biological sciences at the University of Tulsa.
Geoff LeBaron, an ornithologist with the National Audubon Society, says shorter wingspan would allow cliff swallows to turn more quickly to avoid being hit by vehicles. "If the longer-winged birds are the ones being clobbered, then the shorter-winged birds are the ones passing on genes to the next generation," adds LeBaron, the society's Christmas Bird Count director, who was not involved in the study.
The study also found that the average wing length is shorter. In the 1980s, the average was 110 mm (4.3 inches); it dropped to 103 mm or 104 mm (4.1 inches) in the late 2000s, Brown says.
Brown says cliff swallows do learn from watching others so some may figure out how to avoid oncoming traffic. "Birds that have the ability to learn are more likely to survive and produce more babies," he says. "Over time, the population will have smarter birds."

Early on in the 2010 MLS season, the Los Angeles Galaxy have had several challenges, from tight fields on the road to injuries to incorporating new players into the starting lineup.
But Wednesday's challenge was unique as the Galaxy had to travel to Colorado and play with just three days in between games. And not even that was enough to slow down LA.
Watch: FULL GAME HIGHLIGHTS.
The Galaxy continued their torrid pace with a 1-0 win over the Rapids at Dick's Sporting Goods Park, as the club overcame what may have been its toughest challenge of the season thus far.
"It speaks to our professionalism," Galaxy defender Todd Dunivant told MLSsoccer.com over the phone after the match. "That's kind of what these games are all about. We had a short turnaround and playing on the road, and it comes down to your mentality and whether the guys are ready."
The Galaxy improved their record to 6-0-1 and won for the second time on the road. This match also marked the first time the Galaxy notched a victory at DSG Park, where the team had been 0-2-1 before Wednesday.
From the start, the Galaxy were the aggressors. Galaxy forwards pressured Colorado 'keeper Matt Pickens throughout the early stages of the game, but Pickens' strong goalkeeping and less-than-lethal finishing kept the Galaxy from taking a quick lead.
But LA got an early goal anyway, when Alan Gordon buried a header from a Landon Donovan free kick in the 21st minute. The early flurry was part of the Galaxy's plan.
"We didn't want to come in and kind of sit back and let them take the game to us," Dunivant said. "So we did a good job of putting together some sequences, combination plays, getting the ball out from side to the other. We had a lot of good chances, so that was good. It put them on their heels a little bit. The fact that we came to them really set the tone for us."
The Galaxy will continue their toughest week of the young MLS season on Saturday when the club visits Seattle. The team will head to the Pacific Northwest on Thursday to prepare for a tough Sounders team.
As if the Galaxy needed more on their side, though, Wednesday's result has given them even more confidence than they'd enjoyed through six games.
"We have a lot of confidence right now," Dunivant said. "We won at Houston and we won at Colorado and those are two of the toughest places to get results in the league. That in itself gives us a lot of confidence. When you win games 1-0, 2-0 on the road, that's what it's all about. Putting away your chances."

Well, DOY, Maytag! Did you really have to ask that?
Quote from: SAGG on July 08, 2017, 02:35:43 amWell, DOY, Maytag! Did you really have to ask that?Maytag never asks something without a reason. She must be offering to inherit it instead. Although I don't see how this will help, Eye knows literally nothing about how to deal with normal people.
Not necessarily so. Maytag may not be offering to inherit the curse.. but what she IS doing is giving voice to questions about Eye's future that Eye.. up an until now has never thought of or questioned. Maytag is not asking the questions for herself.. but to get Eye to ponder them!
Yeah, excuse the hell out of me.... Maytag continues to shock and amaze me EVERY TIME... what a remarkable woman! So yeah, very intriguing questions but you missed one... how did young eye gain the 'gift/curse' in the first place? Who passed on to her and why HER specifically? Also why must Anyone bear it at all?
It might be an ambush, but in terms of them getting to where they're going, we actually know this place.http://flipside.keenspot.com/comic.php?i=1599http://flipside.keenspot.com/comic.php?i=1601http://flipside.keenspot.com/comic.php?i=1603Definitely part of the path to where they need to get.
Well, not all of it.My memory is actually very poor, it just works in a weird way. You know how some people like Moss have weird abilities? Well, I kinda have one too. Essentially, my visual memory is fairly good (I actually memorized the table for an economics page and reproduced it perfectly, along with a map of the regions of China for another test). Things that I see, I can usually recall, and I have the ability to connect things in strange ways forming visual symbolic patterns. My memory of other information types however is terrible, such that despite practicing for days, I cannot recite lines for drama. And I have memory of dreams that appear kinda to happen in the future, then I forget them, and then a week before it happens, I get a sense of deja vu. I can sorta compare to such dreams to be like "this is/this is not how it happened before" based on my personal actions and their effect on upcoming events. My long term memory however as a result is bad, very bad, because I have no real grasp of whether anything in my life has happened before. I also cannot remember most of my childhood before age ten. Kinda like my brain somehow got front-loaded, so I have memory that most people shouldn't have, and as a result it ate another part of my brain.
I dunno about that. Alot of people have oddities to them. Supposedly, Buddhist monks can dry clothing through body heat. This world is a weirder place than most of us think.Anyway, why do I think Eye and Miss Kitty are likely to get categorized as "magic" and stopped at the gate?
By the characters or by us? Technically I think in one comic, it mentioned it was female. But people keep forgetting. Including Eye, who calls the cat him. And when first introduced on page 56 she. May asks if the cat is a girl cat, and CS3 says "It's not important."
Honestly I doubt that cat should have a gender at all, like a sort of guardian spirit-type thing or even a sort of machine/robot created just for this purpose (even his/her name gives a slight hint). Really looking forward to finding out what Lehm means with "setting the truth free".

How will progs spin Chicago & Portland?
"I need you guys to pray. Please pray for the American press corp because they are going to have to come up with creative ways today to explain away the violence in Chicago and Portland.
"For weeks now, national media has claimed the Chicago and Portland protestors were largely peaceful protests that were inspired by the presence of federal troops. Now with the federal authorities gone, even the mayor or Portland is claiming rioters have burned down a police station and the city needs help.
"The situation in Chicago is not much different. Like a scene out of Batman Begins, the entire city raised all of the bridges to keep people away from the riots in the Magnificent Mile section of the city. In the midst of the riots, shots were fired at police who returned fire." — Erick Woods-Erickson.

Yes ! They yodel in Cambodia ! Sinn Sisamouth does !
Sinn Sisamouth was one of the biggest stars of pre-Khmer Rouge Cambodia, in the sixties and seventies, at a time where the Cambodians were into different kinds of musics inspired by occidental styles, french chanson, psychedelic rock, Beatle tunes and some cha cha cha and mambo. I could write pages and pages about Sinn Sisamouth but others have done it already. I just give you some links at the end of the post.
I found only two songs where he yodels and I have no idea why he yodels. A search on the internet hasn't given me any answer. And my Khmer doesn't go further than "suasaday".
I hope you'll enjoy these songs as much as I do and that you'll dwell deeper into this style, there's a lot to be discovered. And listen to Dengue Fever !

text: As some of you know I've started a case company called DBA Cases. I am going to create one of each type of case : 1) The minimal case for those who just want some scratch protection and grip. 2) A case with a stand. 3) A case that is very protective with silicon and some sort of hard protection. I need to start with one of the above. But I need input from everyone as to what they most likely would buy. Thanks, Scott

WASHINGTON, April 23 (UPI) -- Nicklas Backstrom scored the go-ahead goal Tuesday, helping the Washington Capitals claim their fifth division title in six years with a 5-3 win over Winnipeg.
Backstrom second-period tally broke a 2-2 tie and put the Capitals on the path to the victory, which clinched the Southeast Division crown over the second-place Jets.
Backstrom, Mathieu Perreault, Alex Ovechkin and Jason Chimera each finished with a goal and an assist as the surging Capitals notched their 10th win in 11 April games.
The win also locked up the third Eastern Conference seed for Washington.
Braden Holtby turned aside 24 shots in the triumph.
Nik Antropov, Evander Kane and Blake Wheeler each tallied and Ondrej Pavelec allowed four goals on 40 shots for the Jets, whose playoff hopes were dealt a blow.
At 51 points with one game to play, ninth-seeded Winnipeg remained one point behind the New York Rangers and Ottawa. The Rangers have two games left while the Senators have three contests remaining on their schedule.

Submarine Force Museum Home of Historic Ship Nautilus
Plan Your Visit
Frequently Asked Questions
Question: Can the Submarine Force Museum provide me with an appraisal of the financial value of my submarine related artifact or archival material?
Answer: The Submarine Force Library and Museum is unable to provide appraisals of the monetary value of manuscripts offered as gifts, brought in for identification, or submitted for any other purpose. Material given to archives and libraries may have tax benefits for the donor. In an effort to foster goodwill with donors and acquire important collections, libraries and archives may be tempted or feel pressured by the donor to provide an artificially inflated appraisal. The Internal Revenue Service, therefore, regards archives and libraries as interested parties, and appraisals prepared by them for gifts that they receive are subject to question. Consequently, the Association of College and Research Libraries recommends that "to protect both its donors and itself, the library, as an interested party, ordinarily should not appraise gifts made to it." Most libraries and archives now follow this policy on appraisals.
Question: I am a model builder. Do you have photos or drawings that could help me build an accurate model?
Answer: Anyone interested in building submarine models should begin by checking out the SubCommittee web site: www.subcommittee.com. The SubCommittee is an organization of submarine model builders, and they have accumulated a wealth of modeling knowledge over the years. There web site contains Frequently asked Questions, a submarine photo gallery, message board for posting questions, and a comprehensive list of vendors that sell submarine related merchandise including model plans.
Question: Where can I get a photograph of the USS GATO, etc?
Answer: There are several institutions that hold large collections of photography of U.S. Navy subjects. Five major ones are briefly discussed here. Four are agencies of the U.S. government, and one is a private organization.
- The Submarine Force Library and Museum's photographic section has a very large collection that is the best source of Navy photography pertaining to submarines.
- The Naval Historical Center's photographic section has a very large collection that is the best source of Navy photography predating the 1920s. In addition, its collections include supplemental coverage for later dates.
- The National Archives' Still Picture Branch (301-837-3530) holds the official U.S. Navy photo collection predating 1982, and is generally the most complete source of Navy photographs from the 1920s through 1982.
- The Department of Defense Visual Information Center, formerly called the DOD Still Media Records Center, holds the official U.S. Navy photo collection from 1982 to the present.
- The privately operated U.S. Naval Institute has an extensive collection of Navy photographs from all eras. Their address is:
Photo Service, U.S. Naval Institute
291 Wood Road Annapolis, MD 21402-5035
(410) 269 295-1022
In contacting these institutions, you should keep in mind than none of them can support general requests or requests for more than three or four specific subjects at a time.

Question: How long on average does it take to tour the NAUTILUS and Museum?
Answer: We generally tell people to allow about an hour to an hour and one half to tour the entire museum including Nautilus.
Question: Is the Nautilus appropriate for small children?
Answer: Yes, but there is no stroller access on the Nautilus itself, so you would either have to carry them or they would have to walk for a short period of time.
Question: Will my child like the Nautilus and Museum?
Answer: If your child likes submarines then they would enjoy visiting the Nautilus and museum.
Question: Can you accommodate an R/V?
Answer: Yes, we have several R/V spaces available.
Question: Who do I call, and what's the number?
Answer: Please call the museum secretary at (860) 694-3558.

Answer: Only service animals are allowed in the museum.
Question: Can you climb the rocks near the museum?
Answer: No, please do not permit this. It is dangerous and also poses a security violation of the Naval Submarine Base.

Some Massachusetts Town Records
This is just a small number of Acadians
exiled to Massachusetts that
I have been able to extract
from town records.
The family of John White, French Neutral was given refuge during the French & Indian War period. The house still stands at 351 High Street and it was built by David Porter, a bachelor, about 1730. It is thought to be the oldest original house still standing in Whitman.
Of the thousand Acadians apportioned to the Province of Massachusetts, the committee appointed by the General Court for the duty of distributing them among the several towns, sent three Acadian families, consisting of twenty persons to Lancaster.
These were:
Benoni Melanson
Mary Melanson, his wife

Joseph Melanson

The Forre family was soon transferred to Harvard, Mass. They arrived February 1756 and the accounts of the town selectmen for their support were regularly rendered until February, 1761. They were destitute, sickly and apparently utterly unable to support themselves and were billeted now here and now there, among the farmers at a fixed price of two shillings and eight pence each per week for their board. Sometimes a house was hired for them.
In 1755, eleven Catholic French "neutrals" were assigned to Worcester after the "shameful rape of Acadia". These Acadians arrived in Worcester suffering from wounds to the body, soul and spirit after enduring a winter on the deck of a military ship traveling from Acadia to Boston. Not much detail is given on this piece of history, but it states that these Acadians were warmly received by Worcester residents and some stayed here "broken-hearted" while others left for Canada in 1767.
Selectmen 1764, March 5th: Selectmen Census taken in response to an order given by Colonial Governor Bernard. The Selectmen of Mendon conducted a census of the town in the fall of 1764.
The census revealed that the town contained 336 families living in 284 houses. The population consisted of 2,339 persons of which 1,441 were adults and 898 were children under the age of 16. Contained within the counts included 9 persons of color listed as Negroes and Molattoes and **5 persons listed as French Neutrals**. Interesting that there were no Indians counted in the 8 square mile area of Mendon. The census was submitted on December 17, 1764 signed by Joseph Daniels and 4 other selectmen.
THE OLD HOUSE IN WALPOLE -Where Lived and Died in Exile Jacques D'Entremont (The Walpole Times - May 1966)
The following article, dealing with the early history of Walpole, was written by Rev. Clarence J. d'Entremont on 71 Center Street. Fairhaven. It is hoped that the people of Walpole will take interest in this article which tells them of a phase of their history of which they may not know too much. By Rev. Clarence J. d'Entremont.
The student of American literature knows through the study of Longfellow's poem Evangeline of the Expulsion of the Acadians. These people, of French origin, lived in Nova Scotia, then called "Acadie", where "the richest was poor, and the poorest lived in abundance." By the Treaty of Utrecht, in 1713, their land passed into the hands of England. Summoned by their conquerors to pledge allegiance to the crown of England, they asked to remain neutral in case of war so that they would not have to fight against their mother country. For this reason the whole population, about 18,000 of them, less some 2000 fugitives, were boarded on ships and vessels, between 1755 and 1759, even up to the Treaty of Paris, in 1763, and "scattered like dust and leaves" all along the American Atlantic coasts and the shores of England. Massachusetts received about two thousand of them and placed them, under its care, in its different towns.
There is in Walpole the remains of a cellar on which stood the house where lived in exile, with his family, one of these Acadians, Jacques d'Entremont (1680-1759), some of Jacques Mius d'Entremont and of Anne de Saint-Etienne de la Tour, and where he died July 28, 1759 (1). This house belonged at the time to Jeremiah Dexter. Isaac N. Lewis, in his history of Walpole (2), calls this house "the old house", although at the time of Jacques d'Entremont it must not have been so old, as Jeremiah Dexter, who probably built it, is mentioned for the first time in 1748 in the history of Walpole.
Jacques d'Entremont was, with the members of his family, among the 70 Acadians from Baccareau Passage, Cape Sable, Nova Scotia, whom Colonel Prebble, after burning all their buildings, 44 in all, brought to Boston on a Friday, the last day of April, 1756. They were destined to North Carolina; a vessel under the command of Thomas Hancock, was to take them there. But after embarkation, they came back on shore and refused to re-embark. May 11th, Jacques Amirault and Joseph d'Entremont addressed a letter to the Lieutenant Governor of Massachusetts and his Council stating the reasons why the group refused to go to North Carolina, begging that they be allowed to stay in Massachusetts.
Three days later, May 14th, Thomas Hancock, who it would seem had written of his own hand the petition of May 11th, to which Jacques Amirault and Joseph d'Entremont affixed their marks, appeared before the lieutenant governor and his council to discuss this matter. It was decided to give to these Acadians a delay of 14 days, during which they would be under the care of Thomas Hancock. The 14 days having elapsed, it was decided to distribute these families in the several seaports of the "Province".
August 20th, 1756, we find in Marblehead, Jacques d'Entremont with his family, that is, his wife, nee Marguerite Amirault, and his children, Ann, (b. 1732), Marguerite, (b. 1734), Joseph, (b. 1739), Paul, (b.1742), and Benoni, (b. 1745). Jacques d'Entremont and Marguerite Amirault had had at least two other children, namely, Jacques, the oldest, married in 1753 to Marguerite Landry, exiled with his family to England and then to Cherbourg, France, where he died in or before 1767; and Marie, married to Rene Landry, brother of Marguerite.
In the summer of 1756, Anne d'Entremont married in Marblehead Abel Duon who had been among the 70 Acadians who arrived from Cape Sable to Boston April 39th and who was quartered at Marblehead with the d'Entremont family. The following year, that is June 1st, 1757, we find this family in Medfield, along with Paul and Benoni, sons of Jacques d'Entremont. March 1st, 1758, Jacques d'Entremont, his wife, his daughter Marguerite and his son Joseph are found in Walpole, where they had been transferred.
A few months later, on November 8th, 1758, Joseph d'Entremont sent a petition to the lieutenant governor, stating that being in Walpole with his aged father and mother, a brother and a sister, while another brother, a brother-in-law, a sister and her child were in Medfield, asking, for different reasons, if it would be possible for the family to be all united together at the same place.
January 2nd, 1759, this petition was sent to a committee who, January 13th, decided that the members of the family who were in Medfield would be removed to Walpole. It would seem that this decision was not carried out, not immediately at least, because June 1st of that year, Benoni, Abel and his wife are still in Medfield; these two last are still there August 22nd, 1760.
After the death of Jacques d'Entremont, July 28th, 1759 (13), his son Joseph and his daughter Marguerite are transferred August 22nd, 1760, to Chelsea (14), at which date Paul and Benoni are said to be "retained" in Walpole with their ......
We can recapitulate these events in the following chronological order: - April 30th, 1756, arrival in Boston of the family of Jacques d'Entremont;
- August 20th, 1756, this family is in Marblehead, along with Abel Duon;
- Summer of 1756, marriage in Marblehead of Abel Duon and Anne d'Entremont;
- June 1st, 1757, Abel Duon, his wife, Paul and Benoni are in Medfield;
- March 1st, 1758, Jacques d'Entremont, his wife, Marguerite and Joseph are in Walpole;
Between the preceding and the following dates, Paul is transferred to Walpole;
- November 8th, 1758, petition of Joseph so that all the family would be united;
- January 13th, 1759, it is decided that the family would be united in Walpole;
- July 28th, 1759, Jacques d'Entremont dies in Walpole;
- August 22nd, 1760: Paul and Benoni are "retained" in Walpole with their mother; Joseph and Marguerite are sent to Chelsea; Abel and Anne are retained in Medfield.
On August 23rd, 1766, "Captain Amiro" received a permit to clear his vessel from Boston for Quebec. Undoubtedly this captain was Ange Amirault, who, ten years earlier, in the month of February of 1756, being not yet 20 years of age, sailed in his small vessel from Cape Sable to the shores of Massachusetts to ask of his future father-in-law and mother-in-law, already in exile, the hand of their daughter, Natalie Belliveau, who, like himself, was still in liberty at Cape Sable. The fact is that the Amiraults, the Belliveaux, the d'Entremonts and the Duons arrived by sea to Nova Scotia, on their way to Quebec, at the end of the summer of 1766, 200 years ago, this very year. Having received from the civil authorities of Halifax the permission to stay in Nova Scotia and the promise of the service of priest, they settled the following year, in 1767, in Pubnico, the land of their ancestors.
While in Walpole, the d'Entremont family lived in "the old house" of Jeremiah Dexter. Lewis tells us that this house was near the old cemetery, corner of Main and Kendall streets. A couple of old people, well in their 80's, now deceased, maybe of the Everett family, whom we met in Walpole in 1957, residing across from the old cemetery where they had lived practically all their lives, told us that the old house of Jeremiah Dexter, which they had seen in their young days, was located west of the cemetery, of Main street and of Neponset River, about 100 feet north of the dam.
How long did this family occupy this house? Surely between March 1, 1758, and August 22, 1760, that is at least 2 1/2 years. Probably they had been there before, and surely after. But we have no documents to tell us precisely how long.
A fact worthy to be mentioned here, which is surely by a coincidence, is that at about 75 feet south of the cellar there is the distinctive marks of the Acadians: an apple tree.

[Petition submitted to the General Court of Massachusetts by Joseph Michel, 30 March 1756. SC1, Series 45X, Massachusetts Archives Collection, 1603-1799, vol. 23, page 51. Massachusetts Archives.]
The Committee appointed to take under consideration the Petition of Joseph Mitchell are unable to make enquiry into the truth of the facts mentioned before the dissolution of the Court by reason of the distance of Place where they are alledged to have been done and therefore ^ thus are of opinion that the consideration of the Petition be referred until the next session of the Court. The Committee are further humbly of opinion that it would be acting very different from the intention of the Legislature if any Selectmen in the Province should cause any of the children of the French from Nova Scotia to be disposed of for any sum of mony or other consideration except for the immediate use & benefit of such child or children and that where any child or children are able & willing to support themselves, or ^ where their parents or friends will undertake for their support
such child or children ought not to be separated from their parents or friends and that the Selectmen should as far as may be consult the inclination of the Parent & children in the service for which ^ any children they may be disposed of

With the exception of the two eldest sons, who were relocated to Plymouth in 1760, the majority of the family remained in Marshfield, Joseph Michel dying there in 1763. The rest of the family continued on and it is likely that they integrated themselves into town life. The Meuse Family
Hailing from Cape Sable, the Meuse family arrived in Massachusetts sometime between the summer and fall of 1756. Residing in Plymouth, the Meuses provided for their own support, yet when this became difficult they petitioned the General court, complaining that they were not being provided for by the town as were other Acadians.
[Massachusetts General Court Committee report on the petition of Joseph Michel, 26 April 1756. SC1, Series 45X, Massachusetts Archives Collection, 1603-1799, vol. 23, pages 56-57. Massachusetts Archives.]
The General court responded by assigning them to Wareham. Meanwhile, the Meuses had contacted Nathaniel Ray Thomas of Marshfield in order to provide for their support. He agreed and permission was given for them to remain in said place. Later they complained of mistreatment by Thomas, so the family's indenture was cancelled and the family moved to Easton. Again unable to support themselves, several of thesons left town to find work elsewhere.
Paul Clement, Charles Meuse son-in-law signed the petition along with his father-in-law addressed to the General Court.

The following is an excerpt from Dr. Wayne W. Dyer's outstanding book, Wisdom of the Ages:
Buddha on knowing:
(563 B.C.-483 B.C.) (anything that is still around after 2500 years must have some modicum of value, right?)
"Do not believe what you have heard.
Do not believe in tradition because it it handed down many generations.
Do not believe in anything that has been spoken of many times.
Do not believe because the written statements come form some old sage.
Do not believe in conjecture.
Do not believe in authority or teachers or elders.
But after careful observation and analysis, when it agrees with reason and it will benefit one and all, then accept it and live by it.
At age 29, Prince Siddhartha Gautama (Buddha), seeing the unhappiness, sickness, and death that even the wealthiest and most powerful are subject to in this life, he abandoned the life he was leading in search of a higher truth and a path out of unhappiness, sickness, pain and death.
The key point in this passage is that everything that you carry around with you that you call 'your belief' has become your own largely because of the experiences and testimonies of other people. And if it comes to you from a source outside of yourself, regardless of how persuasive the conditioning process might be, and of how many people just like you have worked to convince you of the truth of these beliefs, the fact that it is someone else's truth means that you receive it with some question marks or doubts.
For example….If I were to attempt to convince you about the taste of a delectable fish, you would perhaps listen but still have your doubts. Were I to show you pictures of this fish, and have hundreds of people come testify about the veracity of my statements, you might become more convinced. But the modicum of doubt would still remain because you hadn't tasted it. You might accept the truth of its deliciousness for me; but until your taste buds experience the fish, your truth is only a belief based on my truth, on my experience. And so it is with all the well-meaning members of your tribes (churches/civic organizations/families/network of facebook friends), and their tribal ancestors before them.
Just because you have heard it, and it is a long-surviving tradition, and it is recorded over the centuries, and the world's greatest teachers have endorsed it, those are still not reasons to accept a belief. Remember, "Do not believe it," as the Buddha instructs.
Rather than using the term "belief," try shifting to the word "knowing." When you have direct experience of tasting the fish, you now have a knowing. That is, you have conscious contact and can determine your truth based on your experience. You know how to swim or ride a bike not because you have a belief, but because you have had direct experience.
You are being reminded by the "enlightened one" of 2500 years ago, to apply this same understanding to your personal and spiritual life. There is a fundamental difference between knowing something and knowing about something. "Knowing about" is another term for belief. "Knowing" is a term reserved for direct experience, which means an absence of doubt.
I understand that the persuasiveness of tribal (community/poitical parties/family/facebook friends :)) influences is exceedingly powerful. You are constantly being reminded of what you should or shouldn't believe, and what all our tribal members have always believed, and what will happen if you ignore those beliefs. Fear becomes the constant companion of your beliefs, and despite the doubts that you may feel inside, you often adopt these beliefs and make them crutches in your life, while you hobble through your days looking for a way out of traps that have been carefully set by generations of believers before you.
Finally, I want to mention that the Buddha's conclusion is the only line without the word "believe," He says when it agrees with reason -that is, when you know it to be true based on your own observation and experience -and it is beneficial to one and all, then and only then, live by it!!!!!!!! 🙂
…..Oh, one more point. I know the idea of resisting the "tribal influence" is often perceived as being callous or indifferent to the experience and teaching of others, particularly those who care the most about you. But, I suggest you read the words of Buddha hear again if that is your only conclusion. He does not speak of rejection, only of being grown-up and mature enough to make up your own mind and live by your knowing, rather than the experiences and testimonies of others.

Enjoy shopping, art, great food & wine and stunning scenery in Christchurch. Have a look at the top 8 experiences in Christchurch.
A great cafe is more than just four walls and a coffee machine – it's about the people, the food and the culture, which is something Christchurch well and truly understands. There are a huge variety of establishments serving up quality food and coffee around the city, from legendary C1 Espresso, operating out of a historic post office building, to hot spots like Black & White Coffee Cartel, Lyttelton Coffee Company, Supreme Supreme, Hello Sunday and the Caffeine Laboratory.
Experience this world of ice and snow without leaving Christchurch City. The International Antarctic Centre is packed with interactive experiences to suit all ages. Learn about Antarctica in 4D, survive a snow storm, take an amphibious Hagglund Ride, and see Little Blue Penguins. The centre is next to Christchurch International Airport, and is open every day of the year.
Punting on the Avon River is a truly iconic Christchurch activity. Glide past the historic Antigua Boat Sheds and through the lush Botanic Gardens, or choose a city departure to see the changing face of central Christchurch. You will be gently and expertly guided along the river on an authentic Edwardian punt - so you can relax and enjoy the ride.
For a relaxing half day adventure, take a boat trip on Lyttelton Harbour, just 15 minutes from Christchurch. Stop at Quail Island and experience a piece of Canterbury's past. On the island's walkway, you'll see shipwrecks, a former leper colony and a quarantine station used by European settlers. Spot native birds like the fantail, kingfisher and silvereye. Black Cat Cruises operate daily trips to Quail Island from October to April. Also enjoy the lively café scene and a home to award winning restaurants and fantastic Saturday morning market.
The Christchurch Art Gallery (Te Puna O Waiwhetu) in Christchurch has always been inspiring, but the city's post-quake rebuild has provided new and giant canvases for artists, bringing fresh creativity outdoors. Wander the central city and immerse yourself in its ever-growing, ever-changing street art. Once you're ready to step inside, visit Christchurch Art Gallery and the Centre of Contemporary Art (CoCA) for diverse artworks, films, talks and live performances.
Experience the vibrant city centre aboard Christchurch's famous historic tram. Hop off to visit the gothic-style Arts Centre, the Canterbury Museum, the Christchurch Botanic Gardens and New Regent Street, said to be the most beautiful street in New Zealand.
Discover Christchurch's Botanic Gardens, the centrepiece of the 'Garden City'. Take an edible tour, or wander at your own pace among diverse plants, flowers and sculptures. Little ones will love the children's playground and paddling pool, and grown-ups will appreciate the coffee at Ilex Cafe or The Curator's House. Entry is free.
Explore the stunning Port Hills on foot or by bike, only 10 minutes drive from Christchurch and offering panoramic views of Christchurch City and the Southern Alps. The Port Hills are home to native wildlife, the Castle Rock formation and have a rich Māori and European history all ready to be discovered.
Getting around New Zealand is easy with familiar road signs and a great range of transport options available.
There are plenty of accommodation options for every budget and travel style.

Entergy Nuclear Facilities Continue Preparations for Hurricane Sandy
New Orleans, La. – Personnel at Entergy Corporation's nuclear plants in the Northeast continue to track Hurricane Sandy's path to ensure they are well prepared for the potential of high winds and rainfall. Entergy's plants in the Northeast include Indian Point Energy Center and James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant in New York, Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station in Massachusetts and Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Station in Vermont.
"Our nuclear plants are designed and built to withstand extreme weather," said John Herron, president and CEO of Entergy Nuclear. "Our team of expert personnel has been working diligently to ensure our plants are well prepared for any impacts resulting from this storm." Preparations for the storm include reviewing emergency staffing plans and verifying emergency communications sources such as satellite phones and radios, communicating with local and state emergency response organizations, and securing outside material and equipment around the plant sites.
Back-up diesel-powered generators are available to provide electricity to plant safety systems if power from offsite sources is lost. In addition, in the event of a loss of offsite power, plants are designed to safely shut down.
Entergy Corporation is an integrated energy company engaged primarily in electric power production and retail distribution operations. Entergy owns and operates power plants with approximately 30,000 megawatts of electric generating capacity, including more than 10,000 megawatts of nuclear power, making it one of the nation's leading nuclear generators. Entergy delivers electricity to 2.8 million utility customers in Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas. Entergy has annual revenues of more than $11 billion and approximately 15,000 employees.

These events can make for ideal bargain dates, as you pay one price for all and, more important, don't have to re-park your frigid car or get back on the bus or a cab for the next event.
For daters, it also provides a handy conversation point. Plus, you go home with a newfound knowledge of things like Paul Newman movies, post-Impressionist art, how to mix a marvelous mojito or how to create the perfect pizza.
We recently stopped in at La Madia for the kick-off of its winter cooking classes, where we learned how to make Neapolitan-style pizza then sat down to a lunch of salad, pizza and wine.
During the class, chef-proprietor Jonathan Fox showed us how to make pizza dough (just water, flour, salt, yeast and olive oil) and pizza sauce (blended San Marzano tomatoes, olive oil, salt and basil), the two staples of his pies.
After students stretched out the dough (not as easy as you might think) and topped them with sauce, cheese and more, we popped them in a 700-degree stone oven and watched the magic. Chatting and sipping wine with other foodies during the lunch offered a fun, communal experience that you don't always get dining out. It was also an easy way to sample the restaurant's specialties (pizza and wine) at minimum expense.
The year-old restaurant is one of the most active on this scene, offering a cooking class each month as well as a "chef's table dinner" where "students" watch as Fox prepares a six-course meal and pairs it with wines, explaining his techniques, produce and favorite purveyors along the way.
Considering you get lessons, food and wine for $30-$35, these meals seem like incredible bargains "I don't do them to make a lot of money," Fox says. "They're about marketing and food culture and a way to create an emotional connection with the guest.
"Some are really into wine and some are into cooking and by the end they are blown away."
Plus, Fox says, he creates a lot of new fans for the restaurant in the process. Before each class, he asks which "students" are in the restaurant for the first time, "and every time, at least 50 percent of them raise their hands."
Cafe Ba-Ba-Reeba partner-proprietor Michael Cunningham agrees. He has been offering special meals and activities at his restaurant for several years, including a bi-monthly series called Artista Ba-Ba-Reeba that pairs Spanish food and wine with a lecture from an Art Institute scholar.
"These offer guests another reason to come to our restaurant," Cunningham says. "Some are fans of flamenco, some want to learn how to cook paella and some are the Art Institute members."
Carlos' restaurant in Highwood has long offered cooking classes but they also offer a twice-monthly movie night during which diners—in a private room—can enjoy a three-course meal followed by a film and then discussion over coffee and dessert.
This month, Mon Ami Gabi presented a "What's So Great About Monet" night as part of its French Masters Series, which, like Cafe Ba-Ba-Reeba's, offers food, wine and a slide-show lecture every other month. Even if this brings back memories of napping through college art history class slide shows—but with booze—don't worry. This time, there's no test.
Here are some upcoming events. There are no current artist dinners scheduled at Cafe Ba-Ba-Reeba (cafebabareeba.com) and Mon Ami Gabi (monamigabi.com), but check their Web sites in the coming months.

Super-powered beings have been all over the big screen lately, but they've yet to find a long-term cape-hold in television (see: the recently-canceled, um, "The Cape"). SyFy's "Alphas" might just change all that – just don't call them superheroes.
The new series, which premieres tonight, five diverse, otherwise ordinary people who have extraordinary abilities – known as "Alphas" – are gathered together by the Department of Defense to help investigate cases that appear to involve other emerging Alphas. The powers are there, but don't expect anything like previous short-lived TV superhero fare like "Heroes" or "No Ordinary Family," says says co-creator Zak Penn.
"Actually, I think superheroes have a lot of trouble on TV in general," says Penn, who previously penned the screenplays for films including "X-Men: The Last Stand," "The Incredible Hulk" and the upcoming "The Avengers." "From its very conception our mantra was we're not doing a superhero show. It's not people dressing up in costumes and fighting crime. It's really more about super humans, about people who have extraordinary abilities, and we're firmly in the science fiction universe in terms of where we're coming from. Since the show was conceived in that way, I don't think you will confuse it with any of the movies I've written certainly. It's coming at it from a completely different angle."
U.S. & World
Penn tried to emphasize character development while instituting elements of the crime procedural format that, clearly, works well on TV.
"The show is probably closer to 'The Mentalist' or 'The X-Files' in its pitch – that's where we started from," explains Penn. "And then I kind of got in some of the stuff I always wanted to do in superhero genre: I managed to find the real-world equivalent of it. So as opposed to 'Heroes,' which is completely serialized and a lot like 'X-Men,' we purposely started from the totally other direction in terms of what the show is actually like, in the same way that 'Law & Order' is nothing like 'Heat'. They're two opposite ends of the genre."
The characters' powers, he reveals, are all rooted in real-life phenomena as well, inspired by actual incidents of extra-normal abilities. "These are all based on real people," says Penn. "They're all based on actual research. I mean, they're a little bit heightened, obviously, but one or two of them are pretty close to reality, actually. No flying. No laser beams coming out of eyes. No capes. That's kind of the rule."
Among the Alphas are Bill Harken (Malik Yorba), an FBI agent who can activate his fight-or-flight instinct for enhanced strength; Rachel Pirzad (Azita Ghanizada), who can access enhanced senses one at the time, though her others then then shut down; Cameron Hicks (Warren Christie), whose perfectly synchronized mind and body give him uncanny aim and coordination; Gary Bell (Ryan Cartwright), an autistic man who can perceive and interpret electromagnetic wavelengths; and Nina (Laura Mennell), whose power of instant induction allows her to override the willpower of others. Overseeing them all is the non-powered Alpha expert Dr. Rosen (David Straithairn).
"I have big Alpha-envy, yeah," chuckles Straithairn, the Emmy winning and Oscar nominated actor who was intrigued enough by the premise to sign onto the series. "Those people in their day-to-day lives are being put into a heightened and extreme and potentially life threatening situations – It has great potential, and that's why I thought to throw my hat in the circle."
"It's five people who are in many ways inept in their relationships because they have been compromised by their particular skills and gifts," says Straithairn. "You bring these people together, and they are a family because of their particular similarities, but they have problems."

- Controversial drilling: Israel to award licenses to search for oil in Golan Heights - The announcement of the awarding of the licenses to Effi Eitam's Genie Energy will take place a few days before the arrival of Obama to Israel and is likely to cause a harsh international reaction in light of the Golan considered occupied territory according to international law.

- Director of '5 Broken Cameras' held at LAX - Emad Burnat, Palestinian co-director of Oscar-nominated documentary, claims was degraded at Los Angeles Airport by security; Burnat: "It kills me that even outside the occupation my son is second class." Michael Moore rescued him. (Ynet)
