rescue Jews from a deportation train from Belgium bound for Auschwitz; the persecuted and starved residents of the Warsaw Ghetto rose up in revolt to assert their human dignity and to fight back against their oppressors; and a group of officials representing the allied governments met in the island of Bermuda.

The Age of Cognac
A Cognac may only be soldy when its youngest eau-de-vie reaches a minimum of two and a half years old, as of the first day of October following the harvest of the grapes.
Only the years of storage in oak barrels count to determine its age.
Once transferred into glass, the Cognac stops maturing . It stands still.
V.S (for Very Special) , also called *** (or Three Stars) is a cognac which youngest eau-de-vie is at least two and a half years old.
V.S.O.P ( for Very Superior Old Pale) , also called Reserve, is a cognac which youngest eau-de-vie is between four and a half and six and a half years old.
XO (for Extra Old ) , Napoléon, also called Hors d'âge, is a cognac which youngest eau-de-vie is at least six and a half years old.
Most Cognac houses will use Cognacs much older than those required by law, allowing X.Os to reach a minimum of twenty years old, in order to reveal their very best.

The September 15 panel discussion, "Partnering With Allied Professions to Bring New Ideas to Market," brought together three building industry professionals who have accomplished significant things by combining the forces of diverse fields. Tom Kundig, FAIA, a principal of Seattle-based Olson Sundberg Kundig Allen Architects, is widely recognized for incorporating inventive machinery into his buildings, tying neo-machine-age "gizmos" to such unexpected elements as operable walls and roofs. Tech specialist Steve Glenn, CEO of LivingHomes—an alumnus of The Walt Disney Co. and Apple Computer—has turned his talents to the development of high-end modular homes. Robert Humble, AIA, co-founded the prefab-centric Seattle firm HyBrid Architecture with collaborators from such far-flung disciplines as urban ecology, history, and environmental art.
Kundig traced his interest in making things to the influence of sculptor and family friend Harold Balazs.
"As a kid I saw ideas being fabricated in front of me," he said. The experience convinced him that "craft doesn't have to be part of an elite structure." He offered the hot-rod culture of modifying cars as a contemporary example of highly skilled, bottom-up craftsmanship. Kundig said he finds that same creative spark in the artisans he engages in his projects, but that it exists also in unexpected places. In his experience, such seemingly conventional tradespeople as concrete contractors have accomplished great things when challenged to be creative. "Sometimes you just let people go and invent," he explained. Showing images of his own projects—including the 2005 RADA-winning Chicken Point Cabin, with its massive operable glass wall—he insisted that "craft doesn't have to be expensive; craft can be how you allocate your costs." He urged the architects in attendance to "take the budget of the house and focus on some very special moments."
Glenn is building his high-end prefab business on three basic principles: work with top architects, pursue LEED certification, and employ prefabrication to improve production efficiency. Noting the popularity of Apple products and Design Within Reach, he said that today's consumer is more design-oriented. Accordingly, Glenn views product development as his core responsibility. Compared with custom design and construction, prefabrication limits buyer choice, he noted, but "people don't need unlimited choices," as long as those choices are optimized.
Robert Humble, with partner Joel Egan, founded HyBrid Architecture to enter a design competition for a redevelopment project on the Seattle waterfront. The resulting plan, dubbed Cargo Town, employed flexible-use, temporary, modular structures based on shipping containers. Although it was never built, the project led the firm to employ prefabrication in high-style, affordable housing that's adaptable for a number of future uses. Humble advocated an approach to architecture and development "based not on aesthetics, but on values." Key among those, he said, should be adaptability, "because we have no idea of the future."
During the following question-and-answer session, one symposium participant challenged Humble's aesthetics-versus-values formulation. Humble clarified his belief that aesthetics are essential, adding that they should apply within a broader rational framework of design. He suggested "almost a scientific approach. You ask the right questions, and, hopefully, the right solution rises to the top."
Other questioners addressed the potential benefits of prefabrication. Glenn explained that prefab construction has the potential to lower cost, but it's more effective at reducing waste—a prime environmental consideration. The large fixed costs associated with the approach present a potential hazard, he added, due to the difficulty of scaling back during market downturns. With responsibility for projects distributed among the developer, manufacturer, and general contractor, assigning liability also can be tricky. Glenn has settled on a structure in which the general contractor carries liability insurance and, for legal purposes, treats the manufacturer as a subcontractor.
Humble agreed that cost savings may not be the primary benefit of prefabrication. But the potential for completing projects faster represents a powerful advantage over site-built construction, especially on small, multifamily infill projects. The savings in construction financing, he reported, can be "gigantic."

Report: Diddy's camp denies engagement rumors
Listen to Diddy on iHeartRadio
Sean "Diddy" Combs and his girlfriend Cassie Ventura will not be walking down the aisle anytime soon.
A rep for the hip-hop mogul tells the "New York Daily News" that the couple is "not engaged," despite reports that Diddy popped the question over the weekend.
The rumors began after Diddy posted a picture of a diamond ring on Instagram along with a message that read, "Baby do you like it? I just want to get you wat you Like!"
That's a pretty big ring to deny an engagement! Are they or aren't they?!
Diddy and the 27-year-old singer have been dating since 2007.

Why You Shouldn't Mess With Brando's Estate
These days, Marlon Brando's name pops up in the news more often than in the last, reclusive years of the actor's life. While Brando died in 2004, his estate has vigorously and litigiously sought to protect his image. The latest target is Madonna, who uses Brando's imagein concert performances of her song "Vogue"— alongside images of other deceased celebrities, including Marilyn Monroe and James Dean.
CMG Worldwide cleared the rights with the celebrity estates, agreeing to pay each estate $5,000. According to CMG, it had come to the same agreement with Brando's estate, only to see the estate's representatives demand $20,000. And because of contractual agreements, were CMG to pay $20,000 to one artist's estate, it would have to pay the same to every other one — so CMG sued Brando's estate. And the estate fired back with its own lawsuit against Madonna, seeking $1 million for each willful use of Brando's image. The terms of the settlement haven't been disclosed. As for punitive damages, perhaps Madonna's reps will be forced to sit through a screening of the Island of Dr. Moreau. But this is just the latest in a string of legal battles Brando's estate has had to fight in the last decade.
In 2011, Brando's estate sued Harley-Davidson Motor Company over "The Brando," a line of boots that resembled those that Brando wore in his 1953 biker-gang flic, The Wild One. Harley-Davidson paid an undisclosed sum in a settlement. That same year, the estate also sued a Florida furniture company for it's unauthorized "Brando" line. ("He coulda been a credenza," was how The Daily reported the story, winking to On the Waterfront.) The furniture company forked over $356,000 in a settlement.
The estate is also involved in legal battles with would-be contenders, including the ex-wife of Brando's son Christopher, who died in 2008. She has fruitlessly sought to be included in the estate, alleging that a codicil to Brando's will had been forged. But California courts ruled that she had no standing to make the challenge.
In 2009, The New York Times reported that 26 legal cases involving Brando's estate had been opened since late 2003. At the time of his death, the estate was valued at $21.6 million.

Post subject: eXplorist GPS receivers
This looks interesting...
I'm seriously thinking about getting one of these when they start shipping, but it'll depend on the price... these claim to be more accurate than other receivers (to within 10 ft. of goal). I'm sort of vacillating though, thinking that a more accurate GPSr may take some of the fun out of the hunt for the cache.
Looks like there are three receivers in this series, with the 200 and 300 versions having more bells n' whistles than the 100. I really don't need maps or other fancy stuff, though.
If I do decide to get one of these, I'll probably put my eTrex up for sale. Not sure yet what I'm going to do though.

Think again..... all depends on the accuracy of the placer's GPS. The finder having a "more accurate" GPS is no guarantee that any cache will be an easier find... in fact it may be worse.
Every GPS style, brand, etc tracks ever so slightly differently. Also if the placer averages the waypoint, or the conditions of the day, or the tree cover, or the season... all factors.

Yeah, this is true... forget getting it for more accuracy then... perhaps I'll be able to try one out and see if I like the interface better than the one I have... that might be the only reason to get one. It will depend on the price for sure.

Keep in mind too, just because it has capability of being accurate to within 10 feet, doesn't mean it will be. All WAAS enabled units seem to have the ability to be within 3 meters, but rarely seem to get that close around here. It all depends on tree cover, weather, etc.
I am amazed by how many people harp on the need to speak and write English in this country while exhibiting a fundamental lack of skills in the areas of spelling and sentence composition. Would this be irony, hypocrisy, or both?

The deal-breaker for geocachers on the explorists is the absence of a PC interface.
That's right. The 100,200, and 300 don't have a serial port and they don't have a replacement like USB, Infrared, Bluetooth, or Psychic Connection. So you have to enter waypoints by hand.
How quaint...

Hm, I guess the lack of a PC interface wouldn't bother me. I don't have one for the eTrex and don't mind entering waypoints by hand. I usually only enter a few at a time anyway.
I'll keep my eyes open to see if I can find any reviews on these new GPSrs in the near future.

Buzzy, It isn't hard to make a cable for your etrex.
All you need is wire, soldering equipment (borrow a friend's), a serial cable plug (I believe female, not going to crawl under the desk and look), and the pluig for the etrex. Actually, you don't even need the plug, I hacked a credit card.
You can get all the parts at radioshack minus the plug for the etrex. For that go here:
There tells you how to make a cable.
Here's my credit card hack.
Then you need software, luckily
provides that with EasyGPS.
I usually grab a bunch of caches for an area. Works out well to download them all to the gps.

I sometimes think I would be better off without the PC interface--I'll just download a bunch of caches into the GPSr off the "seek nearest caches" page, and then go hunt them without even seeing the cache page and thus having no idea what I'm looking for--last week, I spent a good half-hour looking for a regular cache that I should have found right away based on the difficulty and terrain rating, then I finally looked up the cache page on my cell phone and saw I was supposed to be looking for a micro instead of a regular--once I got into the right mind set, knowing what I was supposed to be looking for, I found the cache right away.

One nice thing about these units is that they finally made some in BRIGHT colors. Think about what would happen if you dropped your unit by accident on the forest floor. I don't know how many times I've dropped my Legend (which is transparent blue) next to a cache and had a panic attack because I thought I lost it. The basic eTrex is a nice bright yellow, but the rest of the line are all dull and dark. I like the bright orange unit they have, but it looks like the high end unit is another dark color.

DigiFerret - For colors, carry them in a bright case such as
- this helps protect the unit, too. (And I use my lanyard to tie it in a tree so I don't lose it)
15Tango - you're a charter member, so you can get pocket queries. Use software with a brain that loads the difficulty/terrain/cache type into your receiver and that helps solve that problem. It isn't a coincidence that GPSBabel does this since that's how I hunt much of the time.
SirPoonga - for those without soldering irons (or just less patience) the $8 cables from
are nice. The shipping is abusive, but get together a club order to spread it out and it's no biggie.

"Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to answer each person." Colossians 4:6
Gracious speech has been a struggle for believers for as long as we've been around. Sometimes we get so caught up in truth that we forget to treat people like people. We ignore that many will be turned off by stale speech, instead preferring the seasoned words of the practiced rhetorician. But some of our truths are rather unpalatable to the modern ear. Children may not care for vegetables, but adults stomach them, regardless of whether or not they enjoy them: the goodness requires our action. And so it is with truth: sometimes we won't like what is true, but must find a way to stomach it, for our own good.
Seasoned language, much like seasoned food, ought not cover up the subject entirely, but rather accent and enhance it, according to the palette of the listener. Some rhetoric seeks to cover the topic at hand, winning the listener over with sweetness; good rhetoric, however, ought to enhance the subject, rather than covering it up.
Perhaps I'm late to the game to discuss Phil Robertson and the Duck Dynasty clan. But if ever somebody spoke some truth (mixed with some falsehoods) that wasn't well seasoned, it was probably him.
That's a bit of hyperbole. Phil isn't the first harsh speaker to hit the world, and he won't be the last.
So let's not talk about Duck Dynasty and the unsurprising statements from backwoods Christians. Let's talk about how we ought to speak our minds day-to-day. How do truth and sensitivity interact? Must we silence our beliefs in order to win souls?
Pope Francis lands on the opposite spectrum from Phil, and not just in his beliefs concerning the nature of a church service. The Pope has been making news by stating what the Church has always believed, despite what caricatures of Catholics believe. But he's also carefully answering questions. When he is asked flat-out what he believes about homosexuality, he says we ought to see everyone as people first. That's far smoother than the Duck Dynasty version (which likens homosexuals to idiots who don't know what they're missing). And Roman Catholic doctrine hasn't changed regarding homosexual activity.
However, if you use too much seasoning, at some point the dish itself doesn't matter: all you taste is the topping. Some seem to think this is the way to go with Christianity ("If we make Christianity attractive by only talking about love and not judgment, maybe people will convert!"), but that is an offense to the Gospel. Francis has been accused of seasoning his words too much, but I think he has a robust dish to land on, so to speak. Catholicism is the sort of religion that changes far more slowly, if at all, even if Protestant Christianity has shirked that particular reputation.
So if you say "I'm Catholic", people probably know where you stand on the issue. But if you say "I'm a Christian", suddenly the world is without clarity on your stance. If it is our job to lead the world from sin and towards Jesus Christ, it is (at least partially) our job to point out sin. But many who claim Christianity do not believe that homosexuality is a sin, regardless of what Scripture makes clear (and not just Old Testament passages). So, what do we do? Do we speak our minds and offend, or keep our mouths shut and make friends?
The answer comes down to context, more often than not. If asked flat-out what you believe about homosexuality, you should have the strength to stand by and speak your convictions. If you are misunderstood, you may need to follow Francis' example and remind yourself and others that those in the LGBTQ crowd are, first and foremost, people made in the image of God.
But if you aren't asked directly, should you ever bring it up? Short answer: maybe. If your friends don't have a clue where you stand (or even that you are a believer), perhaps you aren't living your life for Jesus as strongly as you thought. But if they know you are a believer, and even know where you stand on homosexuality issues, it isn't worth trumpeting every time you talk to someone. Really, it won't do you any good. Don't serve the same dish at every meal; it gets tiresome.
If you never seek to soften your words, if you only ever speak offensively, you cannot claim that you are being attacked for your faith. The world may persecute you for Christ's sake, but if you are attacked because you never considered your words or your actions, you are being persecuted for your own sake. And, unless you're already perfect, that's not going to fly.
So, step back and consider your words. Don't be needlessly offensive, but don't avoid all offense. The gospel is worth losing friends over, but your unnecessarily brash language isn't. Season your words carefully, but remember to vary them as needed.

The shots fired in Harpers Ferry during a raid by John Brown in October 1859 are regarded by many as the first of the Civil War.
After months of training and planning at the Kennedy Farm a few miles away in Maryland, Brown led his tiny "army" into Harpers Ferry late in the evening of Oct. 16. His objective: Capture the armory there, then inspire and arm a slave rebellion.
The plot never had a chance. After causing quite a commotion, Brown and a few survivors were trapped and captured Oct. 18. He was taken to nearby Charles Town where he stood trial and was hanged. His last message proved prophetic:
"I John Brown am now quite certain that the crimes of this guilty land will never be purged away but with Blood."
A few of the characters who would play leading roles in the war to come had some sort of connection with this event. Regular army officers Robert E. Lee and J.E.B Stuart led the forces that captured Brown. Among the 1,500 who attended his hanging were Thomas J. Jackson (later Stonewall) and John Wilkes Booth.
Harpers Ferry National Historical Park
Park entrance off US 340 and Washington Street
Road map (park entrance)
Much of Civil War interest in this beautiful park at the confluence of the Potomac and the Shenandoah Rivers. John Brown's 1859 raid and Civil War activities are interpreted throughout the restored lower town area, which also features information about all periods of the town's history and residents. More Civil War information is available at the main visitor center on Bolivar Heights (a shuttle bus delivers visitors to lower town). Trails on Maryland and Loudoun Heights also offer wartime interpretation and views. An interactive interpretation center with a film is offered in the town historic district. Much to see. Park buildings open 9 am–5 pm daily. $10/vehicle or $5/person walk-in or bike-in.
Jackson at Harpers Ferry
Trails sign, 37 Washington St, Harpers Ferry WV 25425
Road map
Thomas J. Jackson (later "Stonewall") began his associations with Harpers Ferry when he traveled here with VMI cadets to provide security for John Brown's execution in 1859. He assumed his first Civil War command here shortly after Virginia's secession and returned in 1862 to capture the Union garrison shortly before the Battle of Antietam.
St. John's Lutheran Church
Trails sign, 943 Washington St, Harpers Ferry WV 25425
The church bell still in place here rang the alarm on Oct. 17, 1859, as John Brown and his raiders entered Harpers Ferry. Some terrified residents gathered here. Following the outbreak of the war the church was used as a Union hospital and was damaged by cannon fire during the battle here in 1862. The repair is still visible.
Allstadt House
Trails sign, 231 Allstadt Road, Harpers Ferry WV 25425
John Brown's raiders knocked down the door here early in the morning Oct. 17. 1862. John Allstadt, owner of the house; his son; and seven slaves were taken hostage, brought to Harpers Ferry and guarded in the fire-engine house. The assault by U.S. Marines the next day freed the prisoners.
Southwest of Harpers Ferry about 8 miles

Road map
John Brown was hanged on this site Dec 2, 1859. Six of his men followed him that day. Among those present that day were Thomas J. Jackson (later "Stonewall") and John Wilkes Booth. The house on the site was built in 1892 by John Gibson, who commanded the militia standing guard that day.
The Greenback Raid
Trails sign, 8001 Charles Town Road, Charles Town WV 25414
Road map
On Oct. 14, 1864, Confederate John S. Mosby's Partisan Raiders cut the rail line near here and captured a westbound train. As an unexpected bonus, the train carried $172,000 paper "greenbacks," which the raiders took and later divided. The break in this important Union supply line was quickly restored.
Rutherford House
Trails sign, 417 Washington St, Charles Town WV 25415
Road map
On Sept. 17, 1864, commanding Union Gen. U.S. Grant traveled here to meet with Gen. Philip Sheridan to coordinate plans to defeat Confederates in the Shenandoah Valley and protect the B&O Railroad. Meeting in this house, Grant ordered Sheridan to move quickly, which he did. Fighting began at Winchester just a few days later.
Edge Hill Cemetery
Trails sign, 417 Washington St, Charles Town WV 25415
Road map
Two figures from John Brown's 1859 Raid are buried here. Fontaine Beckham was the mayor of Harpers Ferry at the time of the raid and was one of the civilian casualties. John Brown's jailor in Charles Town, John Avis, also is buried here.
Cameron's Depot Engagement
Trails sign, 120 Sheriden Drive, Charles Town WV 25414
Road map
Union Gen. Philip Sheridan and Confederate Gen Jubal Early eyed each other warily following Early's summer 1864 Raid on Washington. When Sheridan was falling back from Berryville to Halltown, Early, thinking Sheridan timid, attacked. The daylong battle here Aug. 21, 1864, failed to break the Union lines. Sheridan went on the offensive a month later, eventually driving Early from the Valley.
Zion Episcopal Churchyard
Trails sign, 321 E Congress St, Charles Town WV 25414
Road map
Several Civil War and John Brown Raid figures are buried here in the shadow of the 1851 church. George Turner was shot by John Brown's raiders in 1859, one of the four local civilians killed. Col. R. Preston Chew led Confederate Gen. J.E.B Stuart's Horse Artillery during the war.
Kabletown Engagement
Trails sign, 3047 Kabletown Road, Charles Town WV 25414
Road map
This was the site of one of the largest engagements during a cat-and-mouse game between Mosby's Confederate Rangers and a group of Union soldiers formed to disable them. Bothered by Mosby's attacks, Union Gen. Philip Sheridan formed this group, "Blazers Scouts," to chase Mosby down. However, on Nov. 18, 1864, Mosby's men hit hard here, killing 16 Scouts and scattering the rest.
A popular Potomac River crossing during the war, the fords near here were used often, especially by Confederates on their forays into Maryland. Lee's army crossed back into Virginia just east of here at Boteler's Ford following the battle of Antietam in September 1862. Fighting broke out Sept. 19–20 as Union forces struck Lee's rear guard. (Stop at the Antietam National Battlefield visitor center for driving tour information about that event.)
The old town section appears little changed since the 19th century and is a real treat. Elmwood Cemetery is the final resting place for more than 250 Confederate soldiers including Henry Kyd Douglas, a member of Stonewall Jackson's staff. It's located on Duke Street just south of downtown. Visitor Center located at 102 E. German St.
Shepherdstown in the Civil War
Trails signs in front of the college administration building on German Street
Following the battles at South Mountain (Sept. 14, 1862) and Antietam (Sept. 17, 1862), nearly the entire town was turned into a hospital. Private homes, public buildings and even barns were used to house thousands of the hurt, straining the resources of the town.
Molar's Crossroads
Trails signs at intersection of Bakerton and Knott Roads south of Shepherdstown
Confederate Gen. A.P. Hill's 3,000-man division passed by here en route from Harpers Ferry to the battlefield at Antietam. Hill ended his 17-mile march just in time, coming out at the critical part of the battlefield late Sept. 17, 1862, probably saving the day for Lee's army.
Elmwood Cemetery
Trails sign, 4878 Kearneysville Pike, Shepherdstown WV 25443
Road map
A total of 114 Confederate soldiers who died during and following the nearby Battle of Antietam are buried here. Many of the men who died in the battle and were buried elsewhere initially are unidentified.
Fountain Rock

Road map
On July 19, 1864, Union cavalry burned this 1834 home of Dr. Henry Boteler in partial retaliation for Confederate Gen. Jubal Early's burning of the Maryland governor's house during his Raid on Washington. The fire destroyed not only the house, but also Boteler's valuable library and letters.
Keyes' Switch Engagement
Trails sign, 411 Millville Road, Millville WV 25432
Road map
On April 5, 1865, just four days before Lee's surrender at Appomattox, elements of Mosby's Confederate Rangers attacked the Union Loudoun Rangers here and routed them, killing two, wounding four and taking 64 prisoners.
Duffields Depot Raid
Trails sign, 14 Melvin Road, Shenandoah Junction WV 25442
Road map
As Confederate Gen. Jubal Early moved northeast toward Washington DC Mosby's Rangers aimed to disrupt Union communication lines along the B&O Railroad. Mosby decided to capture this depot (built in 1839) and guardhouse that housed a Federal garrison. The Confederates took away prisoners and burned most of the buildings, but spared the depot. This is the oldest surviving purpose-built combined freight and passenger station in the country.

TROY, MI -- Micromarket innovator 365 Retail Markets reports that it has invested in and is partnering with AirVend (Provo, UT) to offer cashless touchscreen peripherals to vending operators. The new solution will be called 365SmartVend.
AirVend's AV5 and AV7 units can be retrofitted to most vending machines in minutes. Once they're installed, operators immediately gain machine telemetry, cashless payment acceptance, inventory reporting, nutritional display and the ability to wirelessly load and display promotional materials -- eliminating the need to manually update their machines. Planned integrations with 365SmartHQ and AV-Live will allow operators to manage and report on both their vending and micromarket installations from a single, web-based portal, 365 explained.
In addition to its accelerating adoption of cashless payment technology, the vending industry is trending toward offering a wider variety of product through self-checkout micromarkets, and to providing more information to consumers on the vending machines themselves. AirVend thus offers a solution for operators looking to make the transition to cashless and to comply with new consumer information requirements, the company added.
"As a micromarket and vending technology company, 365 Retail Markets has always understood how important it is for operators to simplify their technical and operational environments," said 365's chief strategy officer Matt Caston. "With this partnership, 365 and AirVend will be able to offer customers best-in-class solutions for both environments."
The AirVend system was introduced to the vending industry at this spring's National Automatic Merchandising Association OneShow. | SEE STORY

Call ahead to (812) 789-2724 before visiting the office.
NOTICE: Shooting range closed 6/27-6/30.
Sugar Ridge Fish & Wildlife Area is unique in that much of the land has been strip-mined. Sugar Ridge is made up of six separate areas, totaling approximately 8,100 acres. The strip-mined land now features about 100 pits and lakes, along with rows of overburden from the mining operation. The land that has not been mined is mostly rough and rolling.
A large part of the land which is now Sugar Ridge Fish and Wildlife Area (Areas I, II and III) was once leased from Amax Coal Company. The leasing began in 1964 and continued until 1980 when most of the land was donated to the Division of Fish and Wildlife. Currently, only Area VI is still leased through Gray Farms, Inc. Most revenues used in land acquisition, development, operation and maintenance of Sugar Ridge Fish and Wildlife Area are derived from the sale of hunting, fishing and trapping licenses. Funds are also received from the federal Pittman-Robertson and Dingell-Johnson programs to aid fish and wildlife restoration. These funds are derived from taxes levied on sport hunting and fishing equipment. Indiana hunters and fishermen are proud to provide this property for the enjoyment of all people.

About all our books have in common is our shameless use of Shakespeare as a source.
We know roughly as much about Bach the man as we know about Shakespeare.
What most amazes me about the following novels is the variety of approaches they take to Shakespeare riffing/ripping.
He was described by Shakespeare as having a hunchback and indeed the skeleton shows evidence of curvature of the spine.
The group refers to themselves as The Drunk Shakespeare Society, a "drinking club with a Shakespeare problem".
Eliza said that she had found her scissors, and very likely I should find the Shakespeare some other night.
Then of Stratfordians who had seen people who had known or seen people who had seen Shakespeare?
There can be no question that these speeches in "Macbeth" were written by some other hand than Shakespeare's.
And what does the same high authority say about Shakespeare?
I think so; it seems to me that, if Falstaff had been a creation, Shakespeare must have reproduced him more effectively.
surname recorded from 1248; it means "a spearman." This was a common type of English surname, e.g. Shakelance (1275), Shakeshaft (1332). Shake (v.) in the sense of "to brandish or flourish (a weapon)" is attested from late Old English
Heo scæken on heore honden speren swiðe stronge. [Laymon, "Brut," c. 1205]Cf. also shake-buckler "a swaggerer, a bully;" shake-rag "ragged fellow, tatterdemalion." "Never a name in English nomenclature so simple or so certain in origin. It is exactly what it looks -- Shakespear" [Bardsley, "Dictionary of English and Welsh Surnames," 1901]. Nevertheless, speculation flourishes. The name was variously written in contemporary records, also Shakespear, Shakespere, the last form being the one adopted by the New Shakespere Society of London and the first edition of the OED. Related: Shakespearian (1753); Shakesperean (1796); Shakesperian (1755).

Chiefland Police Sergeant Al Graves Jr. stopped a car that was aimed at his cruiser on Christmas Day by shooting four .45 caliber slugs into it, according to records.
One slug flattened a tire. One went into the trunk. One slug went into the rear quarter panel above the tire and another round shattered the rear window, CPD Chief Robert Douglas said.
Graves was driving the second of two cruisers, which were responding to a call for help in regard to a perceived domestic violence attack.

Problem with entering text into a mathematica notebook by VB or QuicKeys
I tried to enter text into a Mathematica notebook (version 4.0) using
the application QuicKeys by CE-Software. When I use the command Type
Text [abc] only "bc" appears in the notebook. I checked with other
strings and found out that the first character is always omitted.
Since I didn't know if this is a problem of Mathematica or rather
Quickeys I wrote a simple Visual Basic program using the sendkeys
command. There I get the same surprising result. So it seems that the
problem is due to some feature of Mathematica. Does anybody know
something about this?

An escaped mental patient once convicted of stalking and threatening to slash the throat of pop star Madonna was arrested near the facility Friday, authorities said.
Robert Dewey Hoskins, 54, was taken into custody about 9 a.m., and was being returned to the Metropolitan State Hospital in Norwalk, the facility from which he walked away last week, Los Angeles police Officer Cleon Joseph said.
Hoskins, who once scaled a wall around Madonna's Hollywood Hills estate and threatened to cut the singer's throat, was convicted in 1996 of stalking her and making terrorist threats.
He was sentenced to 10 years in prison and, after his release, was transferred to Atascadero State Hospital, where he was determined to be a "mentally disturbed offender," according to police.
Last July, about a year after he was released from Atascadero, he was arrested again and sent to the Metropolitan State Hospital.
During Hoskins' trial in 1996, Madonna testified against him, telling jurors she had recurring nightmares after seeing the homeless drifter from Oregon near her home in April 1995. She said her bodyguard told her that the man claimed "he was there to take me away ... that I was supposed to be his wife, that if he couldn't have me, he was going to slice my throat from ear to ear."
Hoskins returned to the property a month later -- when Madonna was in Florida -- and scaled the perimeter wall, jumped into her pool and was eventually shot twice by a security guard. Hoskins is highly psychotic when not taking his medication and has "very violent tendencies," according to police.

Craig Robinson out as Oregon State Men's Basketball Coach
Oregon State Athletic Director Bob De Carolis announced today that head men's basketball coach Craig Robinson has been relieved of his duties effective immediately, and that a national search for Robinson's successor has begun.
"I want to thank Coach Robinson and his family for their contributions to Oregon State University," said De Carolis. "This was a difficult decision, but after further evaluation, I believe it is in the best interests of our student-athletes, our basketball program and our University."
Robinson completed his sixth season at the helm of the Beavers in March, compiling an overall record of 94-105; 39-69 in Pac-12 play.
Robinson was hired April 7, 2008 as the 20th head coach in the program's history. He arrived in Corvallis after spending two years as the head coach at Brown University. Prior to Brown, he served as an assistant coach at Northwestern University for six years.
OSU Director of Athletics Bob De Carolis will address Craig Robinson's dismissal during a press conference that will be streamed live today at 1:30PM (Pacific) HERE: pac-12.com

An actual teacher created an account on a third party system he doesnt own or manage and then told students in his class to hack it? For real? This is either a really bad attempt at social engineering us (and it wouldnt be the first time thats happened), or your teacher is incredibly uneducated and irresponsible.
Either way we aren't going to be helping.

SOUTH GATE — A man who was shot to death in South Gate in what authorities believe was a gang-related attack was identified Monday as a 27-year-old Bellflower resident.
Manuel Hernandez was gunned down in the 6100 block of Nevada Avenue about 12:40 a.m. Saturday.
He was standing in front of a location where a party was happening, sheriff's Deputy Kim Manatt said.
"Three male Hispanics approached the victim on foot and an argument ensued," Manatt said. "One or more of the suspects began firing at the victim with a firearm."
The suspects fled the scene as the victim collapsed from multiple gunshot wounds. He was pronounced dead at a hospital.
Investigators, who believe the shooting was gang-related, asked anyone with information about the case to contact the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department's Homicide Bureau at 323-890-5500.

Trick Daddy attempts to make peace with Lil Wayne?
Listen to Trick Daddy on iHeartRadio | Listen to Lil Wayne on iHeartRadio
(TMZ) - Trick Daddy tells TMZ he's open to a proposed sit-down with Lil Wayne to settle their feud, but what he's actually doing is throwing gasoline on the fire.
In case you're not up to speed, Lil Wayne went ballistic after a member of Trick's posse allegedly flicked a cigarette in Wayne's dreads at a Miami strip club.
Mr. Daddy isn't copping to the incendiary move. Now here's where it gets bad. Rather than trying to make things nice, Daddy's logic is "If I [wanted to start s**t with Lil Wayne] he would have been in the hospital for a different reason than a seizure," according to TMZ.
TMZ reports that Trick is bitter, claiming Wayne's gotten him blackballed from all the good strip clubs in Miami - and hey, now all that's left are the butterface joints.
Finally, enter Birdman, who has the good sense to try and defuse the situation between the 2 feuding rappers by scheduling a sit-down happy meal.

Well we have him in shape and prepared, roll on CW.
If you love fighting you can never really lose!!!!!
Really looking forward to Doolan vs. JP. It's got FOTN written all over it!
Co-Owner of www.AddictedMMA.com and massive MMA Addict!
JP does look in good shape and i'm sure that Brian and his team will have him well prepared.
As i'm sure that the Dinky Ninja fight team will have James well prepared and considering they were voted (unofficially) the 2nd best team in the UK they will have a solution for wherever the fight goes.
Should be a good fight but think James's experience and superior technical knowledge will win him the fight within the distance
Got a problem? Odds against you? Call the Equalizer
Above all this fight is entertaining and fair. Pennington has a very exciting spring/ summer ahead. Regardless of predictions, its good to see Pennington sharing the cage with such high quality opposition. The UK has some brilliant talent in the b/w division.

Our Daily Correspondent
Shad SeasonBy Sadie Stein
The thermometer outside my kitchen window reads thirty-nine degrees, firmly on the leonine side of March's spectrum. But in the park, trees are budding. In the greenmarkets, forsythia are rearing their heads. And, in restaurants, shad are running.
Okay, they're not actually running in restaurants. On my annual pilgrimage for shad roe, my better-informed dining companion told me that these particular egg sacs had likely traveled north from Washington, D.C.—maybe from the Potomac? The point is, shad are in season, whether one favors the bony fish itself or its slightly more approachable roe.
Shad and shad roe used to be a common spring meal up and down the Eastern seaboard. Nowadays, it is the purview of traditionalists and evangelical seasonal eaters. If you are neither, it is still the kind of edible time machine that is worth seeking out when you can. At the Grand Central Oyster Bar, the roe is served with bacon and a broiled tomato. Newly cleaned, the restaurant's famous Murano tiles gleam under the lamplight, and commuters come and go, and even if you secretly think the shad is pretty overcooked and you're kind of relieved not to have to eat it on the regular, all is very much right with the world.

Download YouTube Videos as MP4 1.8.10
by ialc
An extension that adds direct links to download YouTube videos as MP4 and FLV. It has a simple interface and it downloads videos directly from YouTube. The extension integrates with YouTube's interface and adds a download button below the player.
This add-on is not compatible with your version of Firefox because of the following:
About this Add-on
"Download YouTube Videos as MP4" adds a button to the YouTube video pages, so you can download videos. The download button is displayed below the video player and it looks like any other YouTube button. The extension doesn't include ads and only links to YouTube's download URLs.
How to use it? After installing the extension, go to YouTube.com and click a video. You'll notice a new "Download" button below the player. Click the button and you can select one of the formats that are available.
What are the download options?
Here are the formats you can download using this extension:
* MP4 360p (480x270, 480x360) - all videos are available in this format. Use it if you want to play videos on an old mobile phone (iPhone 3GS, HTC Desire, Samsung Galaxy S2) or to save space.
* MP4 720p (1280x720) - HD format, available for an increasing number of videos. Use this format if you want to play higher quality videos on a tablet, laptop or a phone with HD display.
* 480p and 1080p are no longer available as standalone videos downloaded from youtube.com. YouTube switched to adaptive streams and uses separate files for video and audio, which need to be merged to get a video file. This is more complicated and requires more advanced tools (ffmpeg), so I haven't added them yet.
How to watch the downloaded videos?
After downloading videos, you can play them using free applications like:
* VLC (Windows, Mac, Linux / play both MP4 and FLV videos) - recommended video player
* Windows Media Player 12 for Windows 7/8 (play only MP4 videos)
* iTunes and QuickTime Player (Windows, Mac / play only MP4 videos).
Using a different browser? The extension is based on a Greasemonkey script. If you use Chrome, Opera, Safari or Internet Explorer, install the userscript.
Credits: The extension has been originally created by Arpit Kumar.

Noel Gallagher targets success of One Direction
Listen to Oasis on iHeartRadio
Noel Gallagher is not much of a One Direction fan. The former Oasis singer went after the boy band in an interview with GQ, saying that "everyone's winning" from their recent shot to stardom.
In his expletive-filled rant against the group, Noel said that everyone from the members, to the record company, to "the geezer" who writes their songs are "winning" because they are all getting their "bonuses at Christmas." The 46-year-old even took a shot at his teenage fans, saying that they, too, are winning because "one day they might actually grow up" to give sexual favors to one of the members.
Noel said the One Direction members "got lucky, like we all do." He added that they know "it's all going to end at some point" and that they're trying to make sure they've "ticked all the boxes."

Gwen Stefani's Wednesday Workout with Zuma and Pup
Heading out to exercise her dog and little boy, Gwen Stefani headed to Beverly Canon Park in Los Angeles with Zuma and her Pomeranian pooch on Wednesday (November 28).
The No Doubt singer was dressed in black and white with a long overcoat, patterned leggings, and galoshes as she walked her petite pup and kept an eye on her active 4-year-old.
Recently, the 43-year-old mother-of-two has had to endure rumors that her Bush frontman husband, Gavin Rossdale, was cheating on her with the nanny.
After a photo of the two hiking in Los Angeles in which Gavin appears to be touching her backside was published, sources have come forward to dispel the rumors.
According to an E! insider, "He is not having an affair with his nanny. He's with her and the kids in a photo. It's harmless."
Enjoy the pictures of Gwen Stefani in Beverly Canon Park in Los Angeles with Zuma and her Pomeranian (November 28).

Giant spider story shrinks, as reported in BBC News, 15 Feb 2005. A fossil discovered in 1980 in Argentina was claimed to be "the most terrifying spider ever to roam the Earth" and was listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the world's largest spider, has been rediscovered after it had been locked in vault, out of sight from scientists since 1980. However, when Dr Paul Seldon an expert in arachnids at Manchester University finally got to examine it, he immediately recognised it a sea scorpion – a type of crab. Its eyes, claws and shell were like a mud-dwelling crab, not like any spider. Fiercesome looking models of the creature, named Megarachne Servinei have been exhibited in museums around the world.
Editorial Comment: The colleague who sent us this story said: "This is one to warm the heart of anyone who thinks palaeontologists are infallible!" However, the real problem was that the specimen was locked away, and not examined. Keep this story in mind when you visit modern day museums that present realistic plastic models as truth. Remember this story when you watch computer generated "wildlife" programmes on TV. Much of what you see is imagination being presented as real evidence. Many Museums today are better labelled Amuseums. Museum comes from the word muse meaning to think. Amuse means to not think. (Ref. mistakes, fossils, arthropods)

C-Murder attorney claims rapper's trial was unfair
Listen to C-Murder on iHeartRadio
The attorney for incarcerated rapper C-Murder is taking another step to contest his 2009 murder conviction.
C-Murder -- born Corey Miller -- is serving a life sentence for the 2002 murder of 16-year-old Steve Thomas at a Louisiana nightclub. The Times-Picayune of New Orleans says his lawyer, Rachel Conner, has submitted a post-conviction relief application in Gretna, Louisiana's 24th Judicial District Court with the hope of getting the rapper a new trial.
Conner contends that Miller didn't get a fair trial. She points to divisions among jury members and pressure by the judge to reach a verdict as reasons why C-Murder was unfairly convicted. If a judge grants Miller a hearing, Conner will be able to submit evidence supporting her claims.
C-Murder was originally convicted in 2003, but that ruling was eventually overturned. In 2009, a second jury voted ten-to-two to convict him. While Louisiana law allows juries to convict without a unanimous vote, C-Murder appealed his conviction on grounds that the ten-to-two vote was unconstitutional.
Last year, the conviction became final when the U.S. Supreme Court rejected his appeal.
