First off, no matter where you are going, you will need to do some planning. In the planning stage you will draw the course lines on your chart from the departure point to the arrival point. These two points may not necessarily be your berth positions. The departure and arrival points, in most cases, will be the buoys that mark the entrance to the harbor, channel, inland waterway, or traffic lane for that port. For coastal routes you will usually have several waypoints along the way as you proceed from buoy to buoy, avoid hazards, and go around islands, points of land, rocks, or reefs.
On the chart, I like to highlight important information with different colors, making it easy to use while underway. For example I use yellow, red, and green for the important lighted buoys; I also use yellow to highlight navigation channels and ranges, depth contours, and the variation in the compass roses. I also like to draw additional latitude and longitude lines to make the plotting easier and highlight the latitude and longitude degrees and minutes on the edges of the chart. I can gussy up my navigation chart all I want as I use a new chart every time I go out. The old charts along with the deck log are filed away after the voyage is complete.
Now, if you are using one of the computerized navigation and electronic charting programs, this planning stage is easily done. Once finished it can be printed out and the waypoints uploaded into the GPS with a few clicks of the mouse. I would also highly recommend that you plot these points on a regular paper chart for use while underway. If you use the ChartKit charts, most of the coastal routes have been plotted and annotated with the course and distance between prominent buoys and waypoints.
Obviously on a small boat with minimum crew, the navigator and the captain of the vessel can be the same person, while a family member or close friend acts as the crew and helmsman. In this type of situation the voyages are usually short, with the exception of the long-range cruising families. Whatever the crew situation, it is always best to take a professional approach when it comes to navigation and seamanship.
For navigation while underway, the three basic principles of Dead Reckoning must be followed:
A DR position must be plotted every hour on the hour, at every change of heading or speed and at every fix. Until a fix is obtained, you must continue plotting the DR position from the preceding DR position. You may plot an Estimated Position (EP) using predicted set and drift or perhaps a single Line Of Position from a depth contour or bearing off a buoy, but the DR will continue from the DR position and not the EP.
In addition to Dead Reckoning, by plotting on the chart by means of course and distance from a known location, you can also do DR by computation. The various methods of DR computation by calculation are collectively called the Sailings. Of the eight different types of Sailings listed by Bowditch, the ones most commonly used are Great Circle and Mercator. For voyages of less than 200 miles, either one will give accurate results, but the Mercator calculations are much simpler. But, for long distances you will need the accuracy of the Great Circle calculations. For those of you who are interested, the Sailings are discussed at length in Bowditch. I would suggest that you take the Advanced Piloting course offered by the US Power Squadron if you want to know more about these methods of DR calculations. Several computer software programs also make these types of DR calculations for you as part of their log-keeping options and for serious navigators they are well worth considering.

Our series continues with a stunning volley from Emmanuel Adebayor.
Read on for the story of his goal and click the PLAY button above to watch our FREE video clip.
Adebayor v Newcastle (a) 12-05-2007
In December 2007, Arsenal headed to St. James Park for a tough test against Newcastle.
After just three minutes Adebayor, who was unplayable at times during the 2007/08 campaign, found space between two defenders just inside the box.
Emmanuel Eboue floated a perfect delivery towards the Togo striker who rose to meet the ball with his chest.
As the ball dropped, he volleyed past Shay Given and into the roof of the net from 12 yards. It was a perfectly-executed strike from a striker at the top of his game.
The omens looked good for Arsenal after that early goal, but Newcastle hit back to earn a point.

AMES, Iowa – Youth can register now for the fourth annual Bratney Companies 4-H Robotics Challenge at the 2013 Iowa State Fair. The senior division (grades 9-12) will participate Sunday, Aug. 11, and the junior division (grades 5-8) will participate Monday, Aug. 12. The challenges on both days are from 7:30 am to 1:30 pm in the 4-H Exhibits Building at the Iowa State Fairgrounds in Des Moines.
Iowa youth will show off their robot designing and programming skills in this "real-time" challenge, said Holly Bignall, 4-H youth program specialist with Iowa State University Extension and Outreach Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM). Robotics clubs or teams composed of three to 10 youth and up to two adult leaders/coaches may participate.
Registration for the event is open now until June 30. Applications will be reviewed and teams will be notified by July 1 and asked to confirm. At least one member of each team is required to be a member of 4-H. Youth can join 4-H at their county Iowa State University Extension and Outreach office.
"A real-time challenge means your team arrives at the event not knowing what the challenges will be. The challenges are then announced at the event and the teams must work together to design a robot to meet each of the challenges. At the end of the working period, teams will enter the Challenge Field and set the robots loose to the cheers of spectators," Bignall said.
Teams will compete in the LEGO Mindstorms® NXT Challenge where they will design, build and program a robot that can accomplish a specific goal outlined the day of the competition. They will also compete in a surprise junk drawer challenge, which is designed to test engineering and teamwork skills by presenting a novel situation and everyday household materials to work with. Youth teams then must design a robot capable of accomplishing a task using only the materials in the "junk drawer."
Jerry Anderson, coach of the CyTech club, has been involved with the challenge for multiple years. He explained that the challenge is a great event for the kids involved and interested in engineering, math and science. "The biggest thing I see during the challenges is the teamwork developed amongst the kids," said Jerry. "This is a great experience and I encourage any students who have an interest in science or math to get involved."
"We appreciate Bratney Companies' continued sponsorship of this event," Bignall said. "Their dedication to helping youth develop skills is advancing our next generation of leaders in the areas of science and technology, which ultimately impacts the future of our state."

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is confident he can make a big impact for Arsenal this season.
The 18-year-old swapped Southampton for north London during the summer and has already made his mark, scoring twice in two starts in the Carling Cup and Champions League.
Oxlade-Chamberlain has given Arsène Wenger food for thought and he believes he will get better with every minute he plays or trains with the first team.
"I have got confidence in my ability to do that and I think one of the main things with me is that I am going to learn by getting more game time," he said.
"I know that isn't going to come easily but over this season, next season and the one after I am just going to build on it and work hard and train.
"I am always learning things from the boys in training because they are quality players and that's it for me. Getting stronger and fitter by playing games is only going to help me."
Oxlade-Chamberlain started on the right of Arsenal's front three against Shrewsbury and Olympiacos - in the position that Theo Walcott usually occupies. Both players are versatile enough to play elsewhere in the team but Oxlade-Chamberlain is relishing the competition for places with the man who helped him settle.
"I sit next to Theo in the dressing room and he has helped me along, especially when I came in as a new, young lad," he said.
"He knew how I felt coming from Southampton. But it's not just Theo, its all the boys who have been helping me out. I have been watching Theo because I have been playing on the wing at the moment and I am just trying to take from his game and learn from the stuff he does.
"You are all mates off the pitch but on it you are all competing for places. I think that only makes a healthier squad – more players fighting for positions can only mean everyone has got to step their game up.
"It'll be very hard for me to get Theo's position or anyone else's in this team but I am up for the challenge and I am going to keep learning off them every day and working hard."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
No one with experience with these boards?
I hoped to find someone here which used the board already - they are not new.
Or is there something missing in my post?
While reading here the forum i see there is some dealers and some Testers arround. I thought someone could help me out here.
Alright, have a nice day all of ya!
Cheers Richard
Butterman is looking for new Board + Bindings also for Backcountry and Tracks
Hallo Everybody!!
I´m looking for a new Board and I´m a bit confused when reading all the manufacturers descriptions.
What I´m Looking for:
Board + Bindings with straps and toe strap
BoardSize: 149 - 156 cm
Weight: 76 kg / 167 lb
I´m 169 cm / 66.54 inch / 5.54 feet tal.
My Bootsize is 43, I wear Forum The Kicker, 305 mm / 12 inch length and 130 mm / 5.12 inch width
Pricelimit: Not my first concern. I will spend more if i have to, right now i guess 450 Euro - 750 Euro for Board + Bindings
My Level of Boarding is good. 15 Weeks on snow. The last 3 years i go for 3 x 1 Weeks a year to the alps.
I like Going on the Track, offtrack for Powder or Woods (but not with walking, I try what is possible without taking the board of) and a bit in the park.
On the tracks i like to butter, spinning, manuals and jumps from and into the track - normal boarder fun stuff.
My current setup: K2 all access 2005 149cm with K2 Bindings.
K2 Access Snowboard Snowboard
I ride on Track as symetric as possible, Duckstance 15/15, and in Powder all the way back 15/15.
I think i would like to have a twin shape Board, for better spinning and Fakie-Riding.
But still it needs to work under the Lift or in the woods as well as on a good shaped track in the mornings.
I found the Burton Fix 2010 2010 Burton Fix Snowboard - YouTube and the Forum Holy Moly I Forum Holy Moly - YouTube - both very different, but i think they could fit.
The problem is i never rided another camber or rocker or other shape then my own. And it´s not so easy to find a Rental which has many different premium boards.
So maybee here i can find some advice - maybee someone has a style like me and experiance with some twin shape boards.
Thanks a lot already and hope to hear something soon.
Cheers SP

Skilled drivers, mechanics, and supervisors are precious assets, especially in an economy where any concrete producer is operating as lean as possible. Vehicles are also part of the equation. Recently, we looked at the financial impact of crashes, which grows exponentially as the severity of injuries increases.
"Seat belts save lives" is the National Safety Council's mantra, and the best advice for any driver, but restraints are just the beginning. Today's high-speed computers make evaluating vehicle dynamics virtually instantaneous. But it was not always so. Technology started in trucking in the 1970s, with the earliest antilock breaking systems (ABS).
Computers were primitive compared to today. The first systems didn't work, and it took a lawsuit to have the requirement removed from Federal Motor Carrier Safety Standard 121, the standard regulating air brakes. But suppliers continued to develop ABS.
ABS senses and compares wheel speeds. When one wheel slows more rapidly than all of the others, indicating the start of a lock-up, the system releases pressure to that wheel's brake until it is what it should be. The same concept, the independent control of braking pressure to one or more wheels, can independently apply brakes, not just release them.
Today's computer chips are roughly 32 times more capable than a decade ago. Even more importantly, electronic devices have become miniaturized. Sensors and accelerometers are far more sensitive and responsive than ever. They can detect rates of changes in motion, process the information, and determine the best corrective action when abnormalities occur, all in far less time than a human can even detect that problems are starting.
Types of crashes
Let's examine several common crash scenarios. In order of frequency of involvement in all truck driver deaths, rollovers lead. Injuries and fatalities to occupants of other vehicles happen most often when trucks rear-end cars. Other crash causes include sideswipes from lane departures, loss of control when tires blow out, and poor visibility due to weather.
Modern technology has given us devices that can help mitigate or even eliminate many of these crashes. They exist today, but many just need higher volume production to make them affordable. Some stability systems are already standard on new trucks. Meritor WABCO and Haldex have rollover control systems for trailers which can be retrofitted.
Eaton VORAD pioneered forward-looking warning radar on trucks, and now ArvinMeritor and Bendix offer radar-based adaptive cruise control with full braking, if needed. The military uses millimeter-length radar waves that not only detect an object hundreds of miles away, but also determines the object's shape, size, speed, and direction.
Iteris uses optical recognition to determine where a vehicle is in its lane. The device alerts the driver if the truck makes an unintended deviation without signaling. Mobileye couples lane departure warning with frontal distance warning. Experimentally, lane recognition technology has been used with computerized electric power steering in a car.
These systems issue alerts, but if ignored, the systems take over to mitigate the severity of the crash, or even eliminate it completely. If the driver takes control by steering away or braking, the driver overrides the system.

It was the young people of this nation who elected Obama and the Democratic Congress. You fell for the "Hope and Change" which in reality was nothing but "Hype and Lies." You have tasted socialism and seen evil face to face, and have found you don't like it after all.You make a lot of noise, but most are all too interested in their careers or "Climbing the Social Ladder" to be involved in such mundane things as patriotism and voting.
Many of those who fell for the "Great Lie" in 2008 are now having buyer's remorse.
Well, don't worry youngsters, the Gray Haired Brigade is here, and in 2012 we are going to take back our nation.
and in 2012 we're going to the polls by the millions.
... It is time to change the "B.O." ;)

For the more information about the geologic resources of the National Park Service, please visit https://www.nature.nps.gov/geology/.
Park Maps
Digital Geologic DataDigital geologic data allows natural resource managers and staff to more easily evaluate potential connections between geology and other ecosystem components. Such data is also more easily incorporated into planning when it is available digitally through geographic information systems (GIS.)
To find digital geologic maps of National Park areas visit the Geologic Resources Inventory Publications page on this site.
Geologic MapsGeologists make and use special maps that show and identify the rocks at and beneath the surface of the earth. These geologic maps are important for deciding where to build trails and buildings and for a wide range of natural resource management applications. Digital geologic maps in conjunction with other spatial data can be useful for problem solving in geographic information systems. To find published geologic maps, data, and related products from 300+ publishers search the USGS National Geologic Map Database at https://ngmdb.usgs.gov/.
Topographic MapsTopographic maps use contour lines to depict elevation in addition to most of the things shown on general maps. These maps are true to scale and can be used to calculate distance, slope, and position. Topographic maps are essential to off road navigating and are often used by back country explorers. To find topographic maps visit the USGS .
General Park MapsMost people are familiar with this type of map, these maps usually show roads, towns and cities, rivers and lakes, campgrounds and visitors centers, as well as State and local boundaries. Whenever you visit a National Park you receive a general map of that park in the park brochure.
To request a printed park brochure/map, e-mail Frances Cherry, NPS Office of Information, at : email@example.com. Be sure to include your address and postal code with the request. You can also contact the National Park Service, Office of Information, Room 1013, 1849 C St. NW, Washington, D.C. 20240; phone 202-208-4747.

WARP Testing Tenerife
Team rider Matteo Iachino (ITA-140) and Marco Lang (AUT-66) are currently training and testing the new WARP's on Tenerife:
Marco: "I am now almost 2 weeks here on tenerife to prepare and test for the upcoming season
We had the opportunity to test almost all sizes! So far I am really happy with the new sails as they have improved a lot in early planning and acceleration.
I can´t wait to do the first races with them!!"
Matteo: "As soon as you try the new warp f2014 you can feel how much lighter they are. They are super light in your hands and are going super fast out of the jibes - even in super light winds.
For sure in the new WARP F2014 have improved the acceleration out of the jibes a lot and the sails are less stiff in your hands and breathing a lot more when a gust hits you."

Weekend Bookworm: The Rule of Knowledge
11 October 2013 , 11:30 AM by Rob Minshull
The Rule of Knowledge by Scott Baker
Way back in 1942, the world's greatest science fiction writer Isaac Asimov created the Three Laws of Robotics. They were:
1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2. A robot must obey the orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
Asimov's inviolable rules were the organising principle of all his robot novels, allowing his millions of readers to suspend disbelief and accept his science as integral to the fiction.
With time travel, however, there appear to be two competing and contradictory conventions in play: there is either a single fixed history which is unchangeable; or history is flexible and is subject to alteration through time travelling intervention.
A third option posits alternate timelines whereby multiple alternate histories can exist. This means when the time traveler goes back in time, they enter a new timeline where history may differ from the timeline they came from.
The so-called 'grandfather paradox' is avoided because even if the time traveler's grandparent dies at an early age in the new timeline, he or she still survived to have children in the original timelines. Thereby the time traveler still exists. This means that travelling through time could actually create a new timeline which diverges from the original at the precise moment the time traveler appears in the past.
Scott Baker cuts through all the confusion in his fantastic debut novel, The Rule of Knowledge. In Baker's novel the rule is quite simple: time travelers cannot change something they know to have happened. Lurching backwards and forwards in time, The Rule of Knowledge has been described as "part Matthew Reilly and part Dan Brown", and the description is spot on.
In an adventure which begins in the near future and stretches back 2000 years, Shaun Strickland, a young physics teacher, receives an invitation from Cambridge University to deliver a lecture on the relationship between time and space. It is something he has been studying for years and driving late at night to catch his plane to the UK, Shaun runs over a homeless man on a lonely, desolate road.
The man is carrying an ancient diary, written in perfect modern English and predicting the exact moment it will be found - and by whom. Beginning with the life of Saul the gladiator, the young teacher reads about the amazing story of a time traveler whose mission it is to meet Jesus. But a mysterious group of people want the diary and are prepared to murder anyone in their path to get it.
Will Shaun stay alive long enough to unwrap the riddle of time travel and can his mind survive the many encounters with his own past and future selves? What is the meeting with Jesus supposed to achieve or prove? And what if Jesus doesn't die on the cross after all?
"The boundaries of Shaun's beliefs squeezed outwards under the pressure of the new information. Why was it so hard to believe? Did he want there to not be some sort of God? He examined himself and realised that he had shut himself off to even the possibility for one simple reason; it meant that he was wrong ... If he was wrong, then maybe there was a chance there was a God of some sort. Maybe Jesus was some sort of divinely inspired, connected, all-knowing deity, and if all that were possible, then that meant that maybe death was the end Shaun had always asserted it to be."
Pseudo science and philosophical theology permeate The Rule of Knowledge and do nothing to detract from the rapid pace of the plot or the thrill of the action. A few annoying errors aside - it is the Puerta del Sol in Madrid, not the Plaza del Sol, and it is impossible to see the lights of Jerusalem from the sea - Scott Baker has written a thoroughly modern version of H.G Wells' The Time Machine.
"Da Vinci Code meets Spartacus meets the Time Traveler's Wife," wrote Australian thriller writer Greg Barron. Indeed. Faith, science and love collide in this ingenious tale of historical twists which guarantees suspense and introduces a powerful new voice to the world of science fiction thrillers.

text: "I still can't believe this stucky talk about him being a pg is serious. I 1st thought it was a joke from the pistons front office just cuz they didn't have a pg under contract at the time of drafting 3 sg. He physically can play the point but then again he can't(i know that doesnt make sense). To compare him to a nba player would be Ben Gordon & Joe Johnson. At the college level they could play a little pg there&then but on the nba level they make way to many mistakes. Stucky is strictly a scorer, his D & passing will always be suspect & if you let him play the point it would be a 1 man show. It's like letting your crackhead cousin drive your car. You know he can drive it but the possible consequences are not worth the risk. And now we went from letting go of delfino - that was getting out of his young&dumb years - for 2 2nd rd picks 2/4 years from now, to not being able to sell our bid to grant hill, to being outbidded by utah for mopete, to having a unproven player(sammy or aaron I guess) back-up tay that looked like he was mentally burned out after the chicago series. With Saunders choosing from playing tay 40min a game or trusting a rookie it will be tay 40min a game 9 times out of ten. So expect tay to can't wait for the off-season so he can rest. Hes going to give a half-ass effort in the post season. I guess I'm pissed off cuz I noticed something today. Joed is trying to be title contenders & rebuild this team at the same time. I think our players aren't the only ones with a ego. It goes all the way to management. I have a better chance of hitting the lotto than joed pulling this off. Every time a gm tries this it blows up in his face in 2-5 years. You slowly decline till your a mediocre team. Then you truly rebuild from scratch wasting those years getting knocked out of the 1,2, & 3rd rds. I just don't see us winning a title having our core burned out by the 2nd rd. Today the pistons have NO center, no legit backup pg, no legit backup sg(unless stucky has a breakout rookie year), no legit backup sf, 4 legit PF, & Flip Saunders that I wouldnt let coach a ymca pickup game. Next year johnson, stucky, maxiell will be better but billups will lose another step, sheed almost to his breaking point, hamilton you dont have to worry about, & tay I wouldn't be surprised if he pulled a barry sanders retiring before his prime. It's far more funner watching a team build up than it is to watch it decline losing in the playoffs year after year.. Hopefully joeD will make a trade that surprises the hell out of me & put me back on that genius bandwagon of his." _________________________________________________ At first I thought this guy is just a hater but the more I think about it he might be right. Do you agree with the stucky & title/rebuilding part

The topic of doing more with less is on my mind. Every time we've added a child to our family, my instinct is to clear out our space, to get rid of gear and simplify wherever possible. It probably has something to do with making mental space for this new person in my life.
Last week, I was packing for our trip to San Jose and thinking about what I should bring for June's meals — she's still mostly nursing, but she's also eating 3-4 meals a day of solids. At first I was thinking several bibs, 10+ jars of baby food, a bag of rice cereal, utensils and bowl for preparations, utensils for feeding, etc. But finally decided it was a short trip, to a town with every convenience, and that all I would need was a baby spoon.
For breakfast, I found plain yogurt and oatmeal among the offerings and grabbed a ripe banana for when we were out and about. And I was able to find similarly soft foods wherever we were. During feedings, I kept a napkin handy to keep her clean and I was good to go. While I appreciate the helpfulness of things like bibs and lots of food choices when we're at home, it was nice to be reminded that it didn't take much to keep June happy and fed when we wanted to travel as light as possible.
Another example that comes to mind? The giant table we built after moving to Colorado. It is the most used piece of furniture in our house. We use it for entertaining, for homework, for art projects, for sewing projects, for building things. And when we're not using it, it does its duty as a piece of furniture that's nice to look at and that compliments the space.
What about you? What are your thoughts on doing more with less? What's an item you have that you get the most use out of?

Volunteers have been called 7 times in 6 days to begin 2010

Steamboat Springs — Since the start of the new year, Routt County Search and Rescue volunteers have been called seven times in six days for lost snowshoers, skiers and snowmobilers.
One of the searches resulted in a fatality.
Search and Rescue spokesman Darrel Levingston said Thursday that many of the searches have been the result of typical mistakes — taking a wrong turn that led to areas with deep snow where they couldn't get out.
"It's a little early to tell, but we had seven calls in six days, so it's starting off gangbusters," Levingston said. "Up until New Year's Day, it was relatively quiet. Even though we had massive amounts of people in town over the holidays, everybody stayed safe."
Of the calls in the new year, rescuers have been able to talk people out of the wilderness about half the time without needing to conduct actual searches.
Steamboat Ski Area patrollers were called Sunday and Monday for people who went into the Fish Creek drainage area on the western side of the ski area.
Both times, ski patrollers had to rescue the skiers from the steep cliffs in the drainage by lowering them down to safety. There were two such rescues Sunday and one on Monday.
"Probably what they could do differently is basically know where they're going or don't go, have the proper gear, and know what the conditions are like out there," Steamboat Ski and Resort Corp. spokesman Mike Lane said. "When you put yourself in a spot like that, you're going to put people who come get you in danger, too."
Search and Rescue volunteers were paged for those incidents, too, but ski patrollers handled the missions.
Lane said skiers should remember that they can be billed for out-of-bounds rescues involving ski patrol. Lane declined to give a range of how much each rescue can cost because it depends on how many people and what equipment is used, he said.
Search and Rescue volunteers do not charge for their services and instead rely on grants and donations.
Lane said there are signs at the ski area directing where skiers can leave the Steamboat Ski Area toward the Fish Creek canyon. Those signs also warn skier and riders to be prepared.
Search and Rescue volunteers and ski patrollers also searched for Grace McNeil, the ski instructor from Arapahoe Basin Ski and Snowboard Area who was reported missing Tuesday afternoon and found dead Wednesday morning at the bottom of Chute 3.
On Wednesday night, Search and Rescue volunteers were paged to Buffalo Mountain, where a 36-year-old local reportedly took a wrong turn coming down the mountain and failed to meet up with the snowmobiler who was to take him back to the top of the run.
"It's a mission we do a couple times a year," Levingston said. Buff Pass backcountry area is popular for snowmobilers and skiers, but it's easy to get lost, make a wrong turn, or worse, end up in either the Spring Creek or Fish Creek drainage.
The lost Buff Pass skier from Wednesday managed to ski out to safety and was not injured.
"The biggest piece of advice we can give people is every time they go, (they should) be prepared to spend the night," Levingston said. "Of course, always let somebody know where you're going and when you're going to return so if they don't return, at least we get a jump up on it and might be able to get them before they spend the night."
Lane said out-of-bounds skiers also should be wary of avalanches with the recent snow.
The Colorado Avalanche Information Center lists the north, east and south faces of slopes in the Steamboat region as high danger zones because of strong westerly winds that created drifts.
"Do not let bluebird skies and powder fever lure you into potentially hazardous terrain," avalanche forecaster John Snook wrote on the Web site Thursday morning.
The center also has a report of a 3- to 4-foot-deep, skier-triggered slide Tuesday in the Fish Creek Canyon, and several other recent slides in the area. No injuries were reported from those slides.

The entire list
Kıbrıs Ada TV, 1 August 2008
Adnan Oktar: If you could see, you could not recognize the Turkey of future. In the real sense of the word, it will be the super state of the regionand as a result Israel will be saved, Armenia and Palestine willfeelrelieved. Israel willattain an unprecedented peace and security. The problem of Palestine will be solved completely. THE FOCAL POINT OF ALL EVENTS IS TURKEY AND THERE IS AN EXPLICIT REQUEST. Iraq also requests. It wants to unite with Turkey and so does Syria. Syria also wants to unite with Turkey and wants to remain under the administration of Turkey. But surely their states will be seperate. They want Turkey to be the spiritual leader.
Uşak ART TV, 19 August 2008
Adnan Oktar: Allah grants the Turkish nation to be the standard bearer of Islam. Allah grants the Turkish nation to spread the morality of Islam to this nation…TURKISH NATION IS A NATION THAT LIVES BY ISLAM IN AN EXAMPLARY MANNER. FOR INSTANCE ASK ANYONE IN THE ISLAMIC WORLD WHO BEST LIVES BY THE RELIGION OF ISLAM. THEY WILL SAY "TURKEY." IT IS TURKS WHO LIVES BY THE RELIGION IN THE MOST CONSISTENT, JUST AND REASONABLE MANNER. They are the most immaculate, pure people. For this reason there is an alliance. They say let Turkey be the leader. Both the entire Turkic world and the Islamic world states the same.
Yeni Asya, 5 February 2011
Joshua Walker, a postdoctoral fellow at the Crown Center for Middle Eastern Studies at Brandeis University and a fellow at the German Marshall Fund based in Washington D.C. said that Turkey was a self-assigned key actor of the Middle East, an international player and added that as the greatest and most rapidly growing economy in the Middle East, Turkey, in an unprecedented manner, could play a constructive role in presenting alternative models for the newly emerging governments in the region.

Chances are , if the TPS has a problem it would illuminate the check engine light.
If the check engine light is on , scan it for codes.Repair as instructed in the service manual.
The throttle not opening all the way would not be a TPS problem. You should be checking the throttle cable adjustment, or the cable itself to see if it has a problem.Maybe the thottle plate has an issue, disconnect the cables and see if it opens fully to check.
An AOD in that truck will have a throttle valve cable that needs to be properly adjusted to shift correctly, also if not correctly setup will cause the trans to overheat and fail.A TV cable that is fraying inside could keep the throttle from opening all the way, also it may bind and keep the throttle plate from closing entirely at idle position.
A 1990 F150 also had an E4OD trans available, shift points were controlled by the PCM and it has no cable for throttle valve pressure.You will have an OD switch on the dash if yours is euipt with an E4OD. A tps misadjustment could cause an early or late shift,a TPS with a bad spot will cause the trans to neutral or go into fail safe mode(2nd gear only IIRC)
The problem you have may be base adjustment of the throttle plate and the tps.
I dont recall the wire color, but the voltage should be something like .058-.062 volts at full closed throttle.Also the throttle plate should be at the full closed posisition, then the throttle stop screw should be set to keep the pressure from off the throttle plate, like just barely enough to hold the throttle plate from binding in the intake bore at full closed position.
A mis adjusted throttle plate or TPS could very well cause a rolling Idle, its not likely to cause an early shift as you described.If I had to guess, i would say you have an AOD with a TV cable issue, or TV problem.
The E4OD has shift adaptation capability in the PCM, if you drive it hard the shift parameters will modify themselves to accomodate your driving habits.
TPS test parameters
I have a 1990 F150, 5.8L w/auto. I would like check the TPS voltages to see that they are as they should be but I do not know what the readings are supposed to be. And, also which colored wire to poke to test them. The idle rolls and truck shifts at 3900-4000, full trottle. Don't believe trottle is opening all the way, Thank You !

Hey everyone! I'm helping to organize and moderate this event coming up next week at Bluestockings. If you're in the NYC area and care about the issues described below, I strongly encourage you to take part!
Building a Better Zine Community: an open discussion
Saturday, May 23, 2015
Bluestockings Bookstore, Cafe, and Activist Center (172 Allen St, NY, NY)
Last month Jordan Alam resigned as panel coordinator for the Brooklyn Zine Fest in protest of the organizers' refusal to include a panel on the Black Lives Matter movement. The resulting outcry led to the reinstatement of the panel, as well as to many exhibitors using their tables to highlight zine makers of color, anti-racist activism, and critiques of white privilege. (For more on this controversy, see here, here, and here)
Many NYC zine makers are now wondering how to prevent similar incidents in the future and how to create the kind of community we want to be a part of. We think it's important to continue these conversations beyond the festival.
How do we ensure the visibility of people of color and other marginalized groups? How do we maximize accessibility and avoid exclusion? How do we create more democratic DIY institutions that are representative of and responsive to the communities in which they reside? Let's talk about our criticisms, needs, and desires, and brainstorm how to build a better NYC zine culture.
I run a distro out of Jersey City. I know it's not NYC but I think it's close enough.
Hello. I've run a zine (Dairy River) out of New Rochelle, NY for the last five years -- mostly in total (geographic) isolation. Are there any other Westchester zine-makers out there? Anything going on in New York zine-wise over the fall?
Hey guys, this Friday, April 25th I'm having a release party for the 2nd issue of my zine, Lovers & Other Strangers. From 6 - 9 PM at Rogue Space Chelsea (corner of 26th St. & 10th Ave.) Lovers & Other Strangers features short stories inspired by found photos. On display will be a small collection on vintage mug shots.
Opening reception + Zine Launch, Saturday April 12, 2014, 7 - 10pm
Booklyn Artists Alliance, 37 Greenpoint Ave, 4FL. Brooklyn, NY booklyn.org
The Booklyn Art Gallery is pleased to present GARDEN OF THE WOMANIMAL, an installation by Caroline Paquita and a small survey of thirteen years of drawings, paintings, prints, sculptures and zines.
GARDEN OF THE WOMANIMAL explores a recurring theme throughout the recent years of Caroline's work, depicted in a wide variety of media, a cult of "womanimals" half-women/half-wild animals are illustrated in landscapes of playful sexual scenarios, mystical adventures, and explorations of nature and the body. The womanimals' corrupt playfulness and exuberance are contrasted by the meticulously clean line work of Paquita's drawings and paintings. Newer works are surrounded by thirteen years of imagery demonstrating the evolution towards this theme and its stylized representation.
Culling works from her personal collection GARDEN OF THE WOMANIMALcreates an audacious yet welcoming environment of new and past works including drawings, paintings, screenprints, paper mache, sewn soft sculpture, wood sculpture, Risograph prints and zines. The installation is climaxed by Paquita's new artist book, published exclusively for the exhibition, compiling years of screenprints, publishing ephemera, hand-colored Risographs, and drawing reproductions into a beautifully hand-bound hardcover limited edition.
New York & Brooklyn based self-publishing artists / book makers / printmakers / zine makers. Share your work with us! We like to know our neighbors and see what like-minded creators are working on. E-mail a link to your portfolio / online shop or images to - booklynopencall[at]gmail.com with your name in the subject, include a brief bio, where you live, & how long you've been self-publishing for.

'"Looking back on this series, if we would have played the way we did the last couple of games it could have been a different story," Jason Pominville said. "You look at the last two games, we got one and we could have gotten another one (Saturday). It's an empty feeling. This team may never play another game again together, so that's tough."'

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|There's no problem with suggesting it since you never know who may be listening. I find, from the adopters I've interacted with at work, that they typically go with whatever they're used to feeding their dogs in the past or whoever has the biggest TV commercial. I used to be real gungho about food, but now I don't bother unless they seem seriously interested.
I have found that adopters are generally open to information about food when I show them spreadsheets and information on the foods and why they are ones I use. I am pretty detailed about it, and while I can't say that years later, they are sticking with them, initially (and I send food with the dog) at least they are!
I do a calorie comparison, a nutrient density type comparison, and cost. So that they can see that spending $____ on Bag A is actually less expensive than Bag B.
I give them a bigger list than just 2 higher priced foods though. I usually list all the foods the dog has tried while with me, and list brands/types that seem like they would work for the dog. I also make sure the food is available to them within a reasonable distance. Of course, my adopters have all been kind of OCD too so it makes it easier.
Back years ago, Nutro was a pretty good food, and I used to suggest it to puppy buyers. Then the menu foods recall came about and my dogs got sick.
I found Canidae and got totally sucked in, and used to suggest that. Then they changed their formula and manufacturer and my dogs did not do so well on it anymore.
Then I went to Kumpi and used to give out her propaganda packages, but did not suggest it. My dogs did not get sick exactly, but I think that since I have switched they are doing better.
I don't even encourage people to feed a certain thing anymore. I give them a bag of food usually and tell them what it is. But I keep out of what they feed their dogs. If they ask, I will tell them why I feed what I feed.
But I have found that people often have a food they are sold on. Others will buy what their vets recommend. And others will buy the brands that have the best large-scale marketing. If you encourage or offer the information, chances are they will not feed what you suggest. If you wait until they ask, then the chances are much better that they will accept what you have to say.
I always have several brands on the tip of my tongue that I will suggest if they ask. X is good food, Y is good food, I like the ingredients in Z. etc.
Suggesting Food To Dog's New Family-Drawing The Line?
Two of our rescue dogs are going to new homes this week,and while I am thrilled that these two are getting adopted,I'm also a little disappointed because of the food choice the family has made. I feed the rescue dogs Acana or Orijen,and always recommend this food. The dogs dog really well on these foods and look amazing on them.Most of the families will either keep the dogs on the food or find something similar.These two families both feed Science Diet though. Everything has checked out with the references and so forth, and I'm not going to be cynical and not approve them over food. I guess this post is more of a rant about the food choice,but at the same time I am glad they found a home.I guess you have to draw the line with your personal preferences sometimes,as long as it won't be detrimental to the dog.

Freshman Vince Gravino of the Canisius College men's lacrosse team continued his solid freshman campaign by picking up MAAC Rookie of the Week honors for the second time this season.
In a pair of games last week, Gravino led the Canisius offense with 11 points on seven goals and four assists. The rookie recorded his first collegiate hat trick to go along with one assist in a non-conference matchup with Hobart on Tuesday. All three of his tallies were with the man advantage, making him the first Griff to net three man-up goals in a single game since 2007.
Gravino then set career highs with seven points, four goals and three assists against conference foe VMI on Saturday, leading Canisius to its first win of the 2013 campaign. His seven points are the most by a Griff freshman since Adam Jones also recorded seven points in 2008.
The Westlake, Ohio native has excelled in his first season at Canisius. Gravino ranks second on the team with 18 points, while netting a team-best 12 goals. In fact, Gravino ranks fourth among Division I freshmen with 2.00 goals per game and sixth with 3.00 points per game.
The weekly honor is the second for Gravino this season as he also earned MAAC Rookie of the Week honors on Feb. 25.
Gravino and the Griffs continue MAAC play on Saturday, hosting Marist. Game time at the Demske Sports Complex is set for 7 p.m.

In honor of Pope Francis' first year as pontiff, the University of St. Thomas Center for Faith and Culture will host the Rev. Thomas Rosica, CSB, for a special lecture. The lecture, "New Peripheries for the Church: The Franciscan Quiet Revolution One Year Later,' will be given at 7:30 p.m. on Jan. 23 in Jones Hall, 3910 Yoakum Blvd.
CEO of Salt and Light Catholic Media Foundation and president of Assumption University in Windsor, Ontario, Father Rosica will speak on the momentous transition in the Papacy one year ago and how Pope Benedict's decision to resign and Pope Francis' boldness and courageous leadership, have changed the Church in remarkable ways.
"[Pope Benedict's] resignation stands as an important moment in the life of the Catholic Church and in the life of the world," Rosica said. "He offered us the epitome of a courageous and humble decision that will forever mark the papacy and the life of the Church."
Never before has a leader of the Church been the most talked about person on the Internet. Yet, this past year, Pope Francis has surpassed all others and continues to gain attention for his humility and simple way of leading the Church into the future.
"On March 13, 2013, Jorge Mario Bergoglio received the call to go, rebuild, repair, renew and heal the church," Rosica said. "What we have witnessed over the past nine months is simply a disciple of Jesus repairing, renewing, restoring, reconciling and healing the Church. There are those who delight in describing the new Pope as a bold, brazen revolutionary sent to rock the boat. Others think he has come to cause a massive shipwreck. But the only revolution that Pope Francis has inaugurated is a revolution of tenderness."
Rosica served as Media Attaché at two Synods of Bishops at the Vatican in 2008 and 2012 and served as English language Deputy Spokesperson for the Vatican during the Papal transition in February and March. In 2009, Rosica was also appointed by Pope Benedict XVI to the Pontifical Council for Social Communications. His vast experience and knowledge on Pope Francis and insider's view of the Vatican allows him to provide insight into the future of the Catholic Church with Pope Francis at the head.

A Paper on the Barber Family of Westerly, RI
"A Paper on the Barbers, presented at the Westerly Historical Society Meeting, November 9, 1967 by Mabelle Burbine
[end of page 1]
So it was, that in 1633, two brothers…James and Thomas Barber emigrated to this country from Berkshire, England, first landing in Boston and later settling in Newport, Rhode Island.
In 1691, Moses, a grandson of James, moved from Newport to South Kingstown and purchased a large tract of land embracing what is not known as Glen Rock, where he extablished (sic) [established] the Barber homestead.
Two generations later from James, there was a son, Col. Moses Baber, whose mother lived to be 108 years old. At the age of 100 it is recorded "she was so hale and hearty that she walked to Usquepaug (a distance of two miles), passed the day with friends and returned at night." What is even more noteworthy, perhaps is the fact that "she was blessed with 33 children, several of whom attained rpie (sic) [ripe] old ages."
It is almost inconceivable to follow in the pattern of the descendants but it is interesting to note that, at the time of his death, his survivors included 54 grandchildren, 68 great grandchildren and 15 great, great, grandchildren.
Samuel Barber, one of the descendants of the emigrant Barber brothers came to Westerly sometime in the 1700's and built a house on what is East Avenue, near the Pickering house.
They must have multiplied quite rapidly as records state the area where they settled was called Barbertown or Torytown, as they were Torys. As such the Barbers were the last settlers to secede from English rule even though they did swear allegiance to the Colonies and were "qccepted (sic) [accepted] by all residents of Westerly around 1776."
One of their number, Eeorge (sic) [George], became a Notary Public for England, in America. He was appointed to that office by King Charles of England in the early 1700s and his seal of office is (was) on record at the Westerly Public Library. [end of Page 2]
Barbertown or Barberville, so called, encompassed all the land from the junction of Post Read to Thompson's Corners.
In 1714, Captain Henry H. Barber Sr., whose brother Matthew, was my great-grandfather, built the home which became know as 'Buttonwoords' because of a large buttonwood, or sycamore tree "75 feet high which could be seen for miles at sea and was used as a beacon by sailors returning home."
Captain Henry and his brother Matthew sailed on a schooner for many years carrying cargo from Maine to New York, Philadelphia and New Jersey ports. They built the schooner for that business at the old Burrel Thompson Cove at Thompson's Corners about where the Westerly Yacht Club now is located.
His son Henry M. Barber, Jr. sailed on the Whaler Charles Morgan and told his family of the many hardships of the crew, many then were "troubled with scurvy from eating too much salty food, potato water being starchy was the only cure"…or so he wrote.
One of Henry's daughters, Frances Barber…was the mother of Thomas L. Chapman who, for a number of years, was a frequent contributor to the Westerly Sun with his column entitled "Reminiscing with Tommy."
Horace Sr.'s another son, was the father of Horace, Jr., Henry, Harry and James Barber…James being the father of Mrs. William Gallagher who still lives in one of the original Barber homestaeds (sic) [homesteads] on the east side of East Avenue., just south of Wells Street. Horace, Sr.'s. son Harry, lives not far from there on Franklin Street.
As I have mentioned before, this area between the Junction of East avenue and Post Road, all the way to Thompson's Corners was called Barberville or Barbertown, and, at this point, it might be of interest [end of page 3] to go back into time and locate the homesteads of many of the Barbers who built their homes on or near "Easter" Avenue, as it was originally called.
The Horace Barber home, which is mentioned above, is one of the originals which still stand. Farther down the stree (sic) [street] on the opposite side of East Avenue, about midway between North and South Drive, stands "Buttonwooods", which was the home of Henry M. Barber, Jr.
At the corner of Matson Lane lived a Samuel Mitchell whose daughter, Ann, married a Barber. Next to that was until recently, when it was burned, the home of Matthew Stanton Barber [Matthew Stillman Barber] He later sold it to the Pickering family and built another house on the west side of East Avenue. Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Pickering now live there.
Directly across the street from the Pickering home, Captain [Joshua] Frank Barber built the home now owned by Mr. and Mrs. Cyril Moore. Captain Barber married [Susan] Harriet Barber and after his death his widow married William Champlin. They became the parents of Edna (Cahmplin (sic) [Champlin] ) Northrup and Edith (Cahmplin (sic) [Champlin] ) Dunham.
The old house now owned b (sic) [by] the Silver family just south of Capt. Frank's [Cap't Joshua Frank was the son of "Blind" Joshua] house was occupied by "Blind Joshua" and his maiden sister, Lucinda. They were brother and sister to my great grandfather, Matthew Stanton Barber [Matthew Stillman Barber] In a corner of the field near the farm was the Barber Burial Ground.
In the fields now used by the Westerly Airport was an old house occupied by George Barber and his family. George was brother to Matthew and they married sisters Susan and Rhoda Babcock.
On the lower part of East Avenue, two sons and a daughter of Matthew built there (sic) [their] homes; Isaac, then Agnes (Barber) Champlin and next door William and his daughter Lila (Barber) Clark (Mrs. William). [end of page 4] William's son Earl and grandson, John Matthew Barber live there now.
At the corner of East Avenue and Thompson's corners atood (sic) [stood] the old Bethel Church which was recently moved around the corner (facing East on East Ave.) and converted into a dwelling. The Bethel or Thompson's Corners Community House as it was more recently known, was called Barber's Hall. At one time, Hoxie and Sission held a "Singing School" in the building and a copy of the rules and regulations is most amusing to read.
Most renders of early Westerly history are aware that John and Mary Babcock were the first white settlers in this area. The embarked at Newport and landed at Mastuxet Cove just south of Thompson's Corners. Since the Barbers appear to have been prolific and since they lived in close proximity to the Babcock descendats (sic) [descendants], it is not surprising that the two Barber brothers took unto themselves two sixth generation Babcock sisters. George married Susan Babcock and Matthew Stanton [Matthew Stillman]…my great grandfather…married Rhoda Ann Babcock. Now, if I have become too involved, it is correct to assume that this makes me a ninth generation descendant of those romantic elopers… John and Mary!
It may or may not be strange that two of their living descendants once more bear the name of John Babcock; my sister's oldest child… John Stephan Babcock…and the name of his young son!
Great-grandfather, Matthew Stanton Barber [Matthew Stillman Barber] was first married to Phoebe Eliza Hall. To them were born two children; James A. and Sarah.
Children of the marriage to Rhoda Ann Babcock numbered nine. They are listed below with only brief notations as I should like to mention in detail some of the more famous later on: [end of page 5]
Ellery…..my grandfather
Rhoda Ann…married Dick Beebe
Isaac Gavitt… married Henrietta Greene
Charles Henry…married Lina Latham
Agnes Rosetta…married Otis Champlin
Edwin…married three times, 2nd wife Nora Barry,
mother of Ida May and Edwin
Phoebe Eliza…Married Benjamin Merritt
William…married Ida Murphy (he was killed in the 1916 Bradford Train wreck at the age of 61)
Matthew Stanton [Stillman] married Lula Palmer (he ran the Shore Dinner House at Old Harbor, Block Island)
Perhaps the most illustrious member of Matthew Stanton [Stillman] Barber's sons was James A. Captain [Corporal] James enlisted in Co. G. 1st R.I. Artillery, where he served three years and seven months and participated in fifteen battles in the Civil War. "He was one of a detachment of twenty hand picked artillery men who voluntary accompanied an infantry assaulting party and who turned upon the enemy the guns captured during the assault." For this act of heroism, he was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor…the only Rhode Island man to claim this distinction. The presentation was made after the Battle of Petersburg on April 2, 1865.
He later married Hannah Tourgee and they had seven sons. Many of his descendants were born on the Shore Road (across from the head of Crandall Ave.) and some still reside in this area. Among them are Earl Raymond, who operated a repair shop on Cogswell Street; Esther Crompton-Young and Jeannette [Barber] James.
Much has been published about their grandfather, Captain [Corporal] James A. Barber, and it is of interest o (sic) [to] mention that this writing, Prof. Robert H. George, professor emeritus of History at Brown University is writing a book on the Civil War and will include verbal and pictorial records of this event for posterity.[i] [end of page 6]
Captain [Corporal] James half-brother, Ellery…my grandfather…also enlisted in the Civil War at the age of seventeen. He served four years and 9 months in the same artillery company and took part in the battles of Bull Run; Antietam, and Gettysburg. One of the proudest recollections was of shaking the hand of President Abraham Lincoln when he was mustered out of the service.
Long before his military service, he sailed on the cargo schooner with his father and, at the age of nine, he was cooking for the crew.
When he returned from the war, he ran the Shore Dinner House on Block Island. He later sold his business to his brother …Matthew Stanton, Jr. [Matthew Stillman, Jr.] , or "Mott" as he was known.
He went into business with Burrill Thompson. They were for a number of years, engaged in thriving fishing enterprise on the Pawcatuck Ri (sic) [RI] or from Thompson's corners to Stonington. For many years during the winter, the meat chef at the Larking house in Palatka, Florida and summers he cheffed (sic) [was chef] at the Larkin House (hotel) at Watch Hill. He enjoyed the reputation of a great cook and it was said by some that he 'could cook a roast to a turn'.
In 1888 he married Frances Emeline Hall and they went to live in what is now the Pickering home on East Ave. It was here that three daughters were born and raised. Fannie Nina (my mother), Rhoda Marion and Mercie Anna, who died in her 26th year.
During the period he lived on East Avenue, grandfather was the proprietor of a fish market which was located on the south edge of the Pawcatuck River Bridge. He ran the business until the early 1900's. He served on the Westerly Police Force and was Director of Public Aid in the Town of Westerly for eleven years. [end of page 7]
In 1907 grandfather and grandmother moved to the Elias Brown House...now known as the Hickox House…on the corner of Main and Beach Streets. Early records show that the house was built by John Lewis, one of the early settlers of Westerly, in the 1700's.
It was in this house that their three daughters grew to womanhood. Aunt Rhoda married Donald Ferguson and they became the parents of Frances Jessie (Pasetti), Donald MacLean and Finlay Barber Ferguson. Mother married John Perry Ingham in 1913 and went to housekeeping in the old house and it was here that my sister, Frances Marion (Babcock-Berube) and I were born. A third child, John Lewis Ingham was born to them after they had taken up residence in a second old home at the rear of the Brown-Barber House. At the present time, my sister and family reside in this same house while Mother lives in a cottage just an arm's reach away from her parents former home. The cottage was built by Mother and Dad on property that was originally part of the parcel of land on which the Elias Brown house still stands.
With this writing, this limb of the Barber family is nearly completed. Again, however, I would like to return to the past and give some pertinent facts about them and/or their descendants:
One, Samuel Barber (b. 1695-d. 1760) was the 5th son of Col. Moses and Susannah (Wait) (sic) [West] Barber. Samuel married Annie Corey and their daughter Susannah M. married Benjamin Perry. Commander Oliver Hazard Perry and his borther (sic) [brother] Matthew Galbraith Perry were great-grandsons of the latter couple. Oliver Hazard Perry's sister Mary married Benjamin Barber whose son Benjamin Perry Barber was my great-great-grandfather. [end of page 8]
Daniel Babcock who was my great-grandfather (five generations removed) was the brother of the Honorable Joshua Babcock whose home still stands next door to the Westerly Credit Union building on Granite Street. Joshua is buried in the old Babcock burial ground on the Watch Hill Road near the junction of the Winnapaug Road in the same plt (sic) [plot] as John and Mary Babcock.
A certain village smithy with a reputation for strong words as well as muscular strength plied his trade at a forge long after the deman (sic) [demand] for horse shoes was exhausted. You may recall the name of the man…Bill Pendleton… and the location of his shop…hugging the south side of what is now Elite Cleaners on Main Street. Bill whose father was a first cousin of my grandfather's is a direct descendant of the first Henry Barber whose granddaughter Josephine was Bill's mother.
Isaac Barber, a brother to [my] grandfather, owned a candy store on Main Street near where the telephone office is today. The confections sold in his store were made on the premises. Isaac's daughter, Etta Barber Taylor, still resides in Westerly. I won't presume to tell you her age but she is either an acteginarian (sic) [octogenarian] or pretty close to it. Her daughter, Marjorie Teylor (sic) [Taylor] Collins, is well known for her sumptuor (sic) [sumptuous] banquets, which are served through her catering services. Leland (Ted), Adrian Taylor, her sons reside on Taylor lane near Carr's Hill off High Street.
One, Uncle George Barber, of the early Barbertown residents, lived to be over 90, and the loud voice he was remembered for has been inherited by quite a few of the generation. [end of page 9]
One of the Benjamin Barbers mentioned previously was responsible for the Hiram Barber families now residing in Langworthy Road near Dunn's Corners.
William A. Barber, brother of my grandfather was the projenitor (sic) [progenitor] of Earl Barber who is famous for his radio and hi-fi assemblies at the Barber and Howard Shop. Among William's grandchildren still living in the area are: Norma Barber Stephanski [still living today]and Bernard (Snooky) Barber; William and Douglas Clark and Stanley Barber, who is U.S. Postmaster at West Mystic.
James A. Barber was the father of seven sons. One of his sons, Herman, who left these parts for Utah and there established his home, was the father of 10 boys and one girl. [two of whom are still living]
Many of you may still recall having tasted Barber's Vermont (real cream) ice cream or vanilla bottled under the Barber name. Uncle Ed Barber earned a wide reputation for those products before and after 1900 and at one time ran an ice cream parlor at Watch Hill where they were sold. His son Edwin Barber, was the long time chief of the Watch Hill Fire Department, carried on this business in a building on Pasadena Avenue where his daughter now lives. Edwin, the older, also had a daughter Ida May Barber (Smith) who lives at the top of Granite Street hill.
Because of the preponderance of female offspring of Barber in the past decade or two, the family tree is rimmed with names such as: Hall, Lewis, Ingham, Ferguson, Babcock, Gallagher, Taylor, Collings, Clark, Pasetti, Pendleton, Ornberg, Merritee, Beebe, Smith, Lanphear, Berube, Burbine into infinity. Those names, we hope, have added a little 'color' to the tree. We know that the inborn appreciation for good cooking, plentiful eating and a tendency for healthy bodies and [end of page 10] longevity has been passed along, and will be unto generations beyond.
In view of the occupations and reputations f (sic) [of] at least two or three generations past, it is small wonder that the Barbers are famous…or infamous…for their enormous capacity for food. It is a reputation to enjoy, encourage and be proud of, as seldom is it written that any of their number passed away from malnutrition or gastrointestinal ailments. Instead it appears to be an ostablished (sic) [established] fact that the most of them lived to a ripe old age…hale and hearty like their appetites! [end of page 11]

Hi Midge, a couple of quick things on your James A Barber, Medal of Honor recipient. The medal was for his actions at Petersburg, Va (as you describe) in April 1865, but was not awarded to him til June 1866. Only a fiddly detail, I know. He's also apparently found in some records as James A Barbour.
BTW, all MoH citations are online.
More about Robert H George is also online from Brown.
I couldn't find a book about/including Corporal James A by Professor George either, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
Thanks for posting about the Barbers. I need to get Corporal James Barber and his MoH citation up on my site about Antietam.
Do you have a photo of the corporal by chance? I always like to see their faces ...
Antietam on the Web, behind AotW

Sorry Midge - I just scrolled down a little further and saw more about James A.
Please ignore my silly comments and question. You're all over it!

Hi Midge,
I am just coming across this now. My name is Nina Karash (McCarthy, now) and my mom is Nina (Berube)Karash, daughter of the late, Frances Marion Ingham. The list was compiled by my great-grandmother. I am so excited to read this, as I didn't know my ancestory well. I did know my great-grandmother was a direct descendant of the Mayflower, but that's about it. Thanks again for sharing this!
Hi, Do you know if Samuel Barber (b. 1695-d. 1760) had a son named Thomas born 1742? My father (Lynn Michael Barber) through his research shows the same birthdates for Samuel (Thomas's father) and it shows he was also from the RI area. He cannot seem to find any information before Samuel. If this indeed is the same this might be a big breakthrough for him. Thanks for any information, Michelle Goik
- Midge Frazel said...

I have tracked my family back as follows laurence (father), henry(grand), ellery, charles d, preceeded by four nathans, benjamin, two moses, two james', thomas, roger, william. I found this information at ancestry.com. Can anyone help me confirm or deny any of these facts? I recently found out I am going to have my second child and want to give them some good information on their rich family history. To the best of my knowledge, Charles D moved to WI sometime in the late 1800's. Than you so much. My email is email@example.com
Hi Midge;
Thanks for posting the paper on the Barber Family. I had to laugh at the last paragraph about their "enormous capacity for food." We have such an appreciation for food in this family, and I always wondered where it came from. My dad was an amazing cook, and my childhood friend still mentions how much fun it was to visit my house because of all the great food! And yes, it appears the Barbers frequently married Clarks. There are three such marriages in my direct lineage.
hi midge,
my name is Carl Cantrell II. my great grandmother wrote this paper. My grandmother is Joanne Burbine Cantrell, daughter of Mabelle Ingham Burbine. Just thought I would say hi. I have read all the papers from her research that she had done over the years and find it fascinating that I am related to one of the first settlers in my hometown.
- Midge Frazel said...
Hi, Carl, I saw your message. Bill and Jean Barber gave me a copy of that paper so I could correct the errors.
I'd like to know more about this line. email me at firstname.lastname@example.com
Hello, my name is Joanna Barber and I am a decedent of James Barber ( arriving in 1633) with clear and direct citations of relation to Col. Moses Barber. My family has spent a lot of time researching and traveling to document our family and I'm so thankful to have come across your blog. Wondering if you have any documentation or could help confirming James Barber's brother Thomas' birth date. I recently came across records of a Lt. Thomas Barber in CT and would like to compare the two . Thank you very much!
- Midge Frazel said...
I hope you return to see this comment as you did not put any contact information in your comment.
All Barber sources are listed on this page:
Whoops!! Joanna Barber here again. So sorry feel free to email me at firstname.lastname@example.com if needed . thank you
Mabelle is my mother's aunt. Hello distant relative.
So happy to find your blog. I've been doing some genealogy after my aunt told me my ancestors came from RI when I moved here. It's exciting to find all this Barber information. This weekend my family went and explored all the barber gravesites. So amazing to live 20 minutes from where my ancestors settled this land. James barber is my 8th generation grandfather. I was hoping to find some of the westerly ties. We've gone there the three last summers and seem drawn to the place. It's amazing to think that my kids are riding the same carousel that several of my ancestors must have ridden. Thanks for providing that link!

Hello Lori. I am the proud owner of a gorgeous home on church street in Bradford. A previous tenant who raised her children there told me that the home used to belong to "Beadie" Barber, a farming woman who she later cared for there. She had one borde, an English gentleman, who managed or owned a mill nearby. If you could direct me to any history regarding the original owners, I would appreciate it. Thank you
