A short time ago, Janet Bean of Pooler was hit and killed by a drunk driver on Interstate 95. Her daughter Kandy contacted various news outlets to find loving homes for the pets she left behind. Peanut the Boxer and Dixie Rose the dachsund, were lifelong friends and only had each other as they grieved the loss of their mother. The ideal situation would be to find a home where they could be together. Kandy said Janet called these dogs "her babies."
Jody Chapin of WTOC contacted me and asked for help. I posted the information on our website and Facebook pages and mentioned it that afternoon hoping someone might be moved to help.
Later that hour I heard from Sandra Chapman of Rincon. She had lost one of our own dogs recently and was willing to open her home to the two dogs and help them get through their sadness. Kandy brought them over and...the rest is history. Here are the first pictures of the new happy family.
Thank you Sandra for being the kind of listener that makes me happy.

On March 5, 2013, Dr. Billy Joe Peyton will present The History of Charleston at the Tuesday evening lecture in the Archives and History Library in the Culture Center in Charleston. The program will begin at 6:00 p.m. and is free and open to the public.
Charleston has a rich history that spans 225 years, starting with the founding of Fort Lee at the mouth of Elk River in 1788. Named for George Clendenins father, Charles, the little settlement grew slowly to about 100 residents by 1810. The presence of abundant natural resources like salt, timber, and coal helped Charleston grow into a busy river town of more than 1,000 by 1860. During the Civil War, Charleston was occupied alternately by Union, Confederate and then Union forces. After becoming the permanent state capital in 1885, Charleston entered into a period of rapid growth and development. By 1920, it had evolved into a mid-sized city of 40,000 people and was a hub of government, industry, and commerce. The population reached 85,000 by 1960, and downtown streets bustled with activity.
Much has changed in Charleston over the years, but the city retains a great deal of its history. Through words and images, Billy Joe Peyton will share glimpses of historic Charleston. He will recount some of the extraordinary moments in the city's past, such as the Civil War and capitol fire of 1921, and share details about some little known historical secrets of the capital city.
Billy Joe Peyton received his B.A., M.A., and Ph.D. in History from West Virginia University. He has worked as a public historian at WSWP-TV in Beckley and for the National Park Service in Mississippi and West Virginia. He also served as associate director of the Institute for the History of Technology & Industrial Archaeology at WVU, worked for an historic architectural firm, and taught high school history. In 2002, Peyton joined the full-time faculty at West Virginia State University, where he is associate professor of history and chair of the Department of Social and Behavioral Sciences. Active in local preservation efforts, he has worked as a writer and historian on several documentary films, including Ghosts of Green Bottom, winner of a 2005 Bronze Telly Award. He also may be seen in The 50 States series that airs on the History Channel. Three years ago Peyton authored a local history book titled Charleston Then and Now, and he has just completed the manuscript for a second book on the history of Charleston.
On March 5, the library will close at 5 p.m. and reopen at 5:45 p.m. for participants only. For planning purposes, participants are encouraged to register for the lecture, but advance registration is not required to attend. To register in advance, contact Robert Taylor, library manager, by e-mail or at (304) 558-0230, ext. 163. Participants interested in registering by e-mail should send their name, telephone number and the name and date of the session.

Arcadia, CA, Aug. 29 -- HRTV (R), The Network for Horse Sports, will continue to provide equestrian enthusiasts with outstanding events when it offers the free live webcast of the Hampton Classic's featured event, the $250,000 FTI Grand Prix and FEI World Cup™ Qualifier, on Sunday, September 2, at 2 p.m. EDT.
Viewers may go to http://www.tvg2.com to see the Grand Prix streamed live.
The 37th annual Hampton Classic Horse Show takes place in Bridgehampton, NY, and is regarded as one of the premier show jumping contests in the U.S. And the event, annually held over Labor Day weekend, brings star power both on horse and
in the crowd. It provides a fitting, grand finale to the summer season.
Always a showcase event, the Grand Prix features the world's best show jumping horses and riders. The event takes an added significance with some of the competing riders having just returned from the London Olympic Games.
"We are very pleased to offer equestrian fans one of the season's most renowned events," said Scott Daruty, President of HRTV. "The London Games shined a bright light on the sport, and fans will be able to see some of the Olympic's top performers from one of the sport's most prominent venues."
The Grand Prix is open to horses that successfully complete Friday's $50,000 Spy Coast Farm/Young Horse Show Series Grand Prix Qualifier. Along with Olympians, world champions and other show jumping veterans, such as defending champion and
two-time Olympic Gold Medalist McLain Ward, are slated to compete.
Ward, who has won the Classic's featured Grand Prix a record six times -- twice as many as any other rider -- will be joined in the field by his London Olympic teammate Beezie Madden, also a two-time Gold Medalist, and by fellow London Olympian Rodrigo Pessoa of Brazil, as well as Shane Sweetnam, who served as first alternate for Ireland's team at the Olympic Games.
Additional Olympic veterans entered to compete in the Hampton Classic include: Norman Dello Joio, Mario Deslauriers, Joe Fargis, Nona Garson, Leslie Howard, Anne Kursinski and Peter Leone of the United States, as well as Kevin Babington of Ireland and Ljubov Kochetova of Russia, who finished third in the Classic's $250,000 FTI Grand Prix last year.
This year, the Grand Prix is part of the new Taylor Harris Triple Crown Challenge, which awards a $200,000 bonus should the same horse-and-rider combination win the $100,000 Wells Fargo Grand Prix of Devon, $250,000 FTI Grand Prix at the Hampton Classic, and $250,000 Alltech Grand Prix at the Alltech National Horse Show. Ward won the Wells Fargo Grand Prix of Devon on Antares F
in May and now stands to win the $200,000 bonus should he ride Antares F to wins at the remaining two events in the Challenge.
"We are thrilled that equestrian sports fans across the country will be able to watch our $250,000 FTI Grand Prix on HRTV," said Shanette Barth Cohen, Executive Director of the Hampton Classic. "Grand Prix Day at the Hampton Classic is one of the most exciting days of the year and we know that everyone who watches will enjoy seeing the best our sport has to offer."
HRTV's addition of the high-profile Hampton Classic adds to its growing live of live webcasts. In recent weeks, the network offered the Adequan/FEI North American Junior & Young Rider Championships, and the inaugural Totally Thoroughbred Horse Show from Pimlico Racecourse in July.
Earlier this year, HRTV.com was the online site to view the HITS webcasts of the Lamborghini Grand Prix and the Ocala Grand Prix.

Related story: Redlands gun enthusiast fires up local airwaves
ONTARIO - Crossroads of the West Gun Shows will be hosting its first gun show at the Ontario Convention Center since the November election and massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut, which have both prompted record-breaking gun sales in the country.
The Utah-based company hosts shows at the Convention Center several times a year, but due to recent concerns over the future of the nation's firearm laws, this weekend's show is expected to have a larger turnout.
"We anticipate a huge crowd," Crossroads owner Bob Templeton said.
"Everything that we've done since the election has been up significantly in terms of attendance."
Attendance at a recent Las Vegas show put on by Crossroads was up 50 percent, and there is a waiting list for vendors to participate in the Ontario show, Templeton said.
There will be 720 tables this weekend displaying firearms, ammunition, accessories, knives and other products.
"There's a lot of activity in terms of number of vendors. We always sell out the Ontario show," Templeton said.
Templeton said the rush to purchase guns has been spurred by recent discussion of creating more firearm bans and regulations.
"All of us feel a lot of sadness for what happened in Connecticut, but those who would restrict or regulate our Second Amendment right to lawfully have access to guns are using a tragic event to further their gun control agenda and political agenda," he said.
"People are feeling that threat and are responding by going out and buying guns and ammunition."
Adam Lanza killed 20 children and six adults at a Connecticut school on Dec. 14. He also killed his mother before going on the rampage and then killed himself. Sen. Dianne Feinstein has said legislation would be introduced this session to limit the sale, transfer and possession of assault weapons.
Crossroads holds shows at the Convention Center a couple times a year and they have always been well organized and positive, said Michael Krouse, president and CEO of the Ontario Convention Center and Visitors Bureau.
"They are very conscious of the need to be safe and secure," he said.
"They're probably one of the most professional I've seen in my years of experience."
Krouse said he expects this show to run as smoothly as past shows.
"I believe it will be business as usual for them, and I will say in this city they're very welcome and do a very good job," he said.
Police Lt. Dean Brown said there will be officers on the premises, which is typical.
The Police Department has also not been made aware of any planned protests.
"We haven't heard of any protests, but we actually have officers that will be working that event specifically," he said.
Crossroads of the West Gun Shows have attracted more than 407,000 customers over the past year, according to its website.
Hundreds of tables are on display during the show with a range of products suitable for the once-a-year hunter to collectors. Gun show attendees will also be able to find knives, gun parts, accessories and even crafts.
A variety of firearms are available for sale at the show, including antiques, collectibles and modern firearms.
California has the strictest gun laws in the country, Templeton said. Assault rifles are not permitted for sale nor are magazines that are capable of holding more than 10 rounds.
"Essentially a gun show in California is just like buying a gun from a dealer at their store. There's no private party sales," Templeton said.
Ladd Everitt of the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence said California gun shows are generally well-regulated, closing many of the loopholes that allow unsafe person-to-person sales in other states.
"We believe that California should be a model for the rest of the nation," he said.
Staff Writer Ryan Hagen contributed to this report.

My Ride: BMW
SOLD: BMW 328i Sedan -1999 - 43k miles
I am moving across the country to start back up on college and unfortunately I can't take the car with me. I hate to have to sell it as it is a solid car with very low miles. I planned on keeping it for the next 10-15 years for long road trips (and maintained it as such) because it is very comfortable, secure, reliable, and is great on gas. To and from work (~30 mi. @ 55mph) I get 29-30 mpg. At 70-75 mph I get around 27 mpg. I am asking $10,500. In summation, this car is for someone who needs/wants a reliable, comfortable car.
The difference in buying this car vs. other cars you are looking at is that I have preemptively replaced over $7000 worth of parts (within the last 7 months) that could've possibly failed after time. That might sound really crazy to some but I did this so I wouldn't have to worry about anything breaking on the car for the next 100,000 miles (and leave me stranded somewhere). Be mindful of the future costs and expected failures when looking at other vehicles.
If you are dead set on buying this car, I will offer to pick you up at the airport so you can drive home in your new car!
The specifications are below:
Inline 6-Cyl, 2.8 Liter
Automatic Transmission
Rear Wheel Drive
Assembled in Germany
Electric Seats (memory), Windows (one-touch), Electric Mirrors (heated), Cruise
Automatic Air-conditioning
206 Ft. Lb. @ 3500 RPM
OEM Wheel Locks
Front, Side, and Curtain Airbags
OEM Alarm (Motion sensor, Tilt sensor)
Fold Down Rear Seats with Ski Compartment
Full Size Spare (with new tire)
Tires are less than a year old and have 90% tread left (Continental DWS)
Battery is 4 months old
Meergruen Metallic Green
Real Grey Leather Seats (don't worry, the windows are tinted!)
Powerflex Lower Control Arm Bushings
NEW NGK Platinum Spark Plugs
EMP Stewart Pump (lifetime warranty) w/ all new cooling componets
NEW OEM A/C Blower Final Stage Resistor
VDO Fuel Pump and OEM Filter is 7 months old
Rebuilt VANOS with Viton Seals from beisansystems.com
Upgraded BMW electric fan (replaced dangerous mechanical clutch fan)
**Clean/Clear Title** Title In Hand - No liens**
May more new parts!!
This car has been meticulously mechanically and electrically maintained by me and the BMW Dealership (I'm an aerospace Maint. Tech. working alongside NASA). I have ensured that it will be very reliable. Everything works as brand new; you will be pleased. All of the usual parts that wear out have been replaced early or upgraded to lifetime warranted parts so there is no need to worry there. I can also walk you over all that was done when you come to check out the car. The car's exterior has a few parking lot dings and scratches from the previous owner and the paint does show some blemishes from being out in the sun but it has never been in a wreck/accident and has no body rust. (it has also never been up north and has only seen snow once when I was visiting Oklahoma).
It only has 43,122 original miles on it (Don't worry, the dealership can verify this). The first owner was an older gentleman that used it as his Sunday car and only when it wasn't raining. I have only used it for commuting to work (60 miles a day) and for long road trips. My most recent one was this December with a 4000 mile round trip to visit my family out west. The car was solid. The BMW recommended oil change interval for this car is every 15,000 miles with full synthetic so it is very economical. (I end up changing it once a year anyways, just to baby it). I can tell you the full story of this car and I have all of the receipts for all of the repairs and replaced parts.
The car currently has an optional DVR "Black Box" video recording system installed. (You can see it in the pictures below, next to the rear view). It records video in case there is an accident. You can then use the video as evidence. Pretty nifty. It also currently has a built-in Beltronics STiR+ GPS radar detector installed. Alongside it is a Dual Laser-Interceptor laser blocking system (the best there currently is). The DVR, radar, and laser blocker are available with cash on top and are totally up to you.
PM me to set up a time to come check it out. I can give you my number or feel free to request any more pictures or information.

BREVARD, N.C.- Brevard College sophomore Sarah Fonger netted her third goal of the year, but Tusculum rallied with two unanswered goals as BC fell to TC, 3-1, in South Atlantic Conference action Wednesday afternoon at Brevard Soccer Field in Brevard, N.C.
The Tornados fall to 3-6-1, 0-4-1 SAC while their winless streak reaches seven matches. The Pioneers improve to 5-3-3, 3-0-2 SAC while either tying or winning for their six consecutive match.
"I believed we played well despite not starting off well," said head coach Shigeyoshi Shinohara. "The formations we were planning on didn't work really well, but the girls never gave up after they scored a couple of goals."
Tusculum's Jenique Thombs put the Pioneers on the board in the 7th minute when she scorched a shot past Brittany Webster from 10 yards out to make it a 1-0 match.
BC's Fonger netted the equalizer on a dynamite blast from 18 yards out over the outstretched arms of Tusculum's Marissa Williams following a feed from Yuki Soga in 26th minute.
"Sarah (Fonger) has adapted really well, we know she a quality player," said Shinohara. "That shot was absolutely brilliant…We are really happy for her and she's coming along really well."
The Pioneers' Taylor Lewis gave TC a lead it'd never relinquish after heading in a corner kick off the foot of Amy Morford in the 31st minute.
TC added an insurance goal in the 64th minute when Thombs struck again after she received a feed inside the box from Monica Perez and snuck it past Webster's left side.
Webster amassed four saves while Fonger paced the BC offense with four shots while Clair Deese chipped in with two. Tusculum's Williams stopped four shots while the Pioneers outshot the Tornados, 14-8, including by a 9-3 margin in the first half.
The Tornados return to action on Saturday when they travel to conference foe Wingate at 4 p.m. in Wingate, N.C. for a SAC match.

- Overview of Land Types
- Land Ownership & Transfer
- Overview of Rents and Fines
- Manx officials before 1700
- Land records and genealogy
External Links
This site is devoted to the early (pre 1700) records of the Isle of Man, with a particular focus on those of greatest value to the genealogist. It attempts to provide detailed descriptions of all the main record types and to explain how to understand them. It also includes a large number of online images of early (predominately 16th century) Manx ecclesiastical records (which include around 1000 abstracts of wills) and extensive transcriptions of property records (particularly for Kirk Michael).
Most of the original records are written in English (as opposed to Latin), but the different handwriting of the era can make them extremely difficult to read for the inexperienced modern eye. Some help is provided on this site and more information is available from numerous paleography websites.
I would welcome any comments, corrections etc. and can be contacted at email@example.com
This site is periodically updated.
Site overview
The site contains a number of sections which are outlined below. Navigation between these is via the top menu. Pages within a section are linked via the left menu.
This Introduction section contains overviews of several subjects without knowledge of which it is hard to understand the documents properly.
The Records section discusses individual categories of records in more detail, including discussion of their format and the information they contain in different time periods.
The Images section contains an archive of original images of 16th and early 17th century Spiritual Court records including many abstracts of wills. The section also has high resolution examples of many of the other types of record discussed on this site. The vast majority of these images are photographs taken by myself of original manuscripts and are included here by courtesy of Manx National Heritage. A few come from scans of microfilmed copies of the records and the inclusion of these is additionally by courtesy of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints which produced these microfilms.
The Transcriptions section has a particular focus on the property records for Kirk Michael and (to a lesser extent) Ballaugh parishes. The online property data has a good chance of containing genealogical information about any family living in Kirk Michael between 1600 and 1800, and it will sometimes be useful for 16th century ancestors too. It also serves to illustrate the type of information available and can be used to track the ownership of individual pieces of land through the centuries. The section also includes a complete transcription of the Knowsley Lease Book, which is the major source for Manx leases agreed with the Lord before 1643.
The References section contains various background information, including details of how to read the older documents (with a description of secretary hand and a list of common latin phrases used), a glossary of relevant contemporary terms and a list of sources.
The Research section contains more detail about certain of the issues described elsewhere on the site. It also includes a list of unresolved questions which I have about relating either to the old records or to Manx way of life at the time. I have included some speculation or research of my own with each of these, but would welcome any comments about them to firstname.lastname@example.com (The above should be caveated by pointing out that my perspective here is that of an amateur family historian and it may well be that the answers are well known, but that I have failed to find or consult the correct reference or source.)
The information in this site is predominately taken from an examination of the original records. Secondary sources such as the major published histories of the pre 1700 Isle of Man (Moore and Dickinson) have been used as guides.
It may also be worth mentioning that the Manx Courts, laws, administration etc. naturally changed over the centuries. The various contemporary Manx accounts from the 18th and 19th centuries are not necessarily reliable guides to the workings of the 16th and 17th century Isle of Man.

Urostomy - stoma and skin careOstomy care - urostomy
Urostomy pouches are special bags that are used to collect urine after bladder surgery.
Instead of going to your bladder, urine will go outside of your abdomen. The part that sticks outside your abdomen is called the stoma.
After a urostomy, your urine will go through your stoma into a special bag called a urostomy pouch.
Caring for your stoma and the skin around it is very important to prevent infection of your skin and kidneys.
About Your Stoma
Your stoma is made from the part of your small intestine called the ileum. Your ureter is attached to a small piece of your ileum and pulled through the skin of your abdomen.
A healthy stoma is pinkish-red and moist. Your stoma should stick out slightly from your skin. It is normal to see a little mucous. . Spots of blood or a small amount of bleeding from your stoma is normal. A stoma is very delicate.
You should never stick anything into your stoma, unless your doctor tells you to.
Your stoma has no nerve endings, so you will not be able to feel when something touches it. You also will not feel if it is cut or scraped, but you will see a yellow or white line on the stoma if it is scraped.
Caring for the Skin Around Your Stoma
After surgery, the skin around your stoma should look like it did before surgery. The best way to protect your skin is by:
- Using a urostomy bag or pouch with the correct size opening, so urine does not leak
- Taking good care of the skin around your stoma
Skin care tips:
- Wash your skin with warm water and dry it well before you attach the pouch.
- Avoid skin-cleaning products that contain alcohol. These can make your skin too dry.
- Do not use products that contain oil on your skin around your stoma. These can make it hard to attach the pouch to your skin.
- Using fewer special skin-care products will make problems with your skin less likely.
Be sure to treat any skin redness or skin changes right away, when the problem is still small. Do not allow the sore area to become larger or more irritated before asking your health care provider about it.
The skin around your stoma can become sensitive to the supplies you use -- the skin barrier, tape, adhesive, or the pouch itself. This could happen slowly over time and not occur for weeks, months, or even years after using a product.
If you have hair on your skin around your stoma, removing it may help the pouch stick.
- Use a trimming scissors, electric shaver, or have laser treatment to remove the hair.
- Do not use a straight edge or safety razor.
- Be careful to protect your stoma if you remove hair around it.
When to Call Your Doctor or Nurse
Call your doctor or nurse if you notice any of these changes in your stoma or the skin around it.
If your stoma:
- Is purple, gray, or black
- Has a bad odor
- Is dry
- Pulls away from the skin
- Opening gets big enough for your intestines to come through it
- Is at skin level or deeper
- Pushes farther out from the skin and gets longer
- Skin opening becomes narrower
If the skin around your stoma:
- Pulls back
- Is red
- Hurts
- Burns
- Swells
- Bleeds
- Is draining fluid
- Itches
- Has white, gray, brown, or dark red bumps on it
- Has bumps around a hair follicle that are filled with pus
- Has sores with uneven edges
Also call if you:
- Have less urine output than usual
- Fever
- Pain
- Have any questions or concerns about your stoma or skin

Gaslighting is a form of psychological abuse in which false information is presented with the intent of making a victim doubt his or her own memory, perception and sanity. Instances may range simply from the denial by an abuser that previous abusive incidents ever occurred, up to the staging of bizarre events by the abuser with the intention of disorienting the victim.
The term "gaslighting" comes from the play Gas Light and its film adaptations. The term is now also used in clinical and research literature.
Hide Etymology
The term derives from the 1938 stage play Gas Light (known as Angel Street in the United States), and the 1940 and 1944 film adaptations. The plot concerns a husband who attempts to convince his wife and others that she is insane by manipulating small elements of their environment, and subsequently insisting that she is mistaken or misremembering when she points out these changes. The title stems from the dimming of the house's gas lights which happens when the huesband is using the gas lights in the attic while searching there for hidden treasure. The wife accurately notices the dimming lights, but the husband insists she is imagining.
The term "gaslighting" has been used colloquially since at least the late 1970s to describe efforts to manipulate someone's sense of reality. In a 1980 book on child sex abuse, Florence Rush summarized George Cukor's 1944 film version of Gas Light, and writes, "even today the word [gaslight] is used to describe an attempt to destroy another's perception of reality". The term was further popularized in Victor Santoro's 1994 book Gaslighting: How to Drive Your Enemies Crazy, which outlines ostensibly legal tactics the reader might use to annoy others.
The 2000 Steely Dan album Two Against Nature includes a song entitled Gaslighting Abbie. Musicians Walter Becker and Donald Fagen acknowledged that the lyrics were inspired by the Gas Light film featuring Charles Boyer.

Re: gaslighting
Gaslighting is a new word for me. I am familiar through novels, movies, and TV shows with that psychological abuse but never heard the name. I think it may have been used on me. That may explain a lot of things. Thanks eberntson.

With one of the most impressive ensemble casts of the year, "A Million Ways to Die in the West" just unveiled a series of promotional character posters and a red band trailer.
The new artwork features babes like Charlize Theron, Amanda Seyfried and Sarah Silverman all dressed up in their period-correct garb.
They're both huge stars in their own right, and Charlize Theron and Amanda Seyfried are teaming up for an exciting new project.
Suiting up to promote their new mob film, the cast of "Gangster Squad" attended the Hollywood premiere held at the famous Grauman's Chinese Theatre on Monday night (January 7).
Just ahead of its upcoming release, Warner Bros. Pictures has released seven new clips from the crime drama "Gangster Squad."
Treating themselves to a quiet evening out, Giovanni Ribisi and Agyness Deyn showed up in Los Angeles at the ArcLight Hollywood Cinemas last night (December 26).
The "Boiler Room" hunk and his former fashion model wife looked to be a bit camera shy as they emerged from the theater and kept their faces covered as they scampered to their car.
Showcasing the star-studded cast, eight new character banners for the upcoming movie, "Gangster Squad" were unveiled by Warner Bros. Pictures.
In the Ruben Fleischer-directed film, Brooklyn-born mob king Mickey Cohen (Penn) runs the show in this town, reaping the ill-gotten gains from the drugs, the guns, the prostitutes and--if he has his way--every wire bet placed west of Chicago. And he does it all with the protection of not only his own paid goons, but also the police and the politicians who are under his control.
We're finally going to get to see "Gangster Squad" come January 11th, 2013, and Warner Bros has just debuted five new character posters!
Josh Brolin, Emma Stone, Ryan Gosling, Giovanni Ribisi, and Sean Penn are all featured on their own image, each in their respective period-appropriate garb.
With just over a week remaining until its theatrical release date is upon us, Universal held the red carpet premiere for "Ted" in Hollywood, CA on Thursday evening (June 21).

Big Ten Announces 2013 Postseason Volleyball Honors
Dec. 3, 2013
Rosemont, Ill. -
The Big Ten announced its postseason volleyball awards on Tuesday, with student-athletes from four schools earning recognition following the conclusion of the 2013 regular season. Nebraska's Kelsey Robinson has been named the Big Ten Player of the Year by a vote of the conference's coaches, while Michigan State's Kori Moster and Wisconsin's Lauren Carlini were tabbed Defensive Player and Freshman of the Year, respectively. Penn State's Micha Hancock earned Setter of the Year honors, while Nittany Lion head coach Russ Rose was tabbed Coach of the Year by Big Ten coaches and media.
Robinson led the Big Ten in kills (4.69) and points (5.41) per set during the conference season, helping Nebraska to the No. 8 overall seed in the NCAA Championship. The Husker senior also hit at a .349 clip on 765 total attempts. Robinson becomes the first Nebraska player to win the Player of the Year award.
Moster averaged 4.65 digs per set this season en route to being tabbed the top defensive player in the conference for the second year in a row. The Spartan junior is the only Michigan State player to have earned Defensive Player of the Year honors and just the second student-athlete to collect multiple defensive accolades, joining Minnesota's Paula Gentil who won three straight from 2002-04.
Hancock takes home her second consecutive Big Ten Setter of the Year award. The Penn State junior led the Big Ten in assists (11.47) and service aces (.52) per set in conference play. Hancock was named Big Ten Setter of the Week five times this season.
Carlini is the third Badger to be named Freshman of the Year and the first since Claudia Rodriguez in 2000. The setter paced the Wisconsin offense, averaging 10.87 assists per set. She has also accumulated a team-high 19 double-doubles this season.
Rose earns top billing among the conference's coaches and media for the second consecutive year after guiding Penn State to a 28-2 overall record and a 19-1 mark in Big Ten play en route to its 10th conference title in the last 11 years. The Nittany Lions also earned the No. 2 overall seed in the NCAA Championship. Rose's award from the coaches marks his 12th all-time and sixth in the last seven years, while his honor from the media is his eighth in the last nine years.
Fourteen Big Ten players were tabbed All-Big Ten by the conference's coaches, with eight making the team via unanimous vote. Joining Robinson as unanimous All-Big Ten selections are Illinois' Jocelynn Birks, Michigan State's Lauren Wicinski, Minnesota's Tori Dixon and Ashley Wittman, and Penn State's Deja McClendon, Katie Slay and Ariel Scott. Rounding out the All-Conference Team are Michigan's Jennifer Cross, Nebraska's Kadie Rolfzen, Northwestern's Stephanie Holthus, Penn State's Hancock, Purdue's Val Nichol and Wisconsin's Carlini.
Carlini was unanimously voted to the All-Freshman Team, along with Nebraska's Rolfzen. Michigan's Abby Cole, Michigan State's Chloe Reinig, Minnesota's Hannah Tapp, Ohio State's Taylor Sandbothe and Wisconsin's Haleigh Nelson also appeared on the seven-player team.
The Big Ten also recognized 12 Sportsmanship Award honorees. The student-athletes chosen are individuals who have distinguished themselves through sportsmanship and ethical behavior. These student-athletes must also be in good academic standing and have demonstrated good citizenship outside of the sports-competition setting.
The complete list of All-Big Ten honorees, individual award winners and Sportsmanship Award Honorees can be found below.

Historical Pageant 1931.
As part of the Jubilee celebrations in 1931 Thomas Middleton wrote a script for a pageant which included scenes from Hyde's past introduced by Father Time. This scene seems to be connected with the first section of the pageant which showed the conquest of the Ancient Britons by the Romans.
Another scene from the pageant of 1931. The pageant was performed on Hyde United football ground which was decorated for the occasion by a mock-up of a medieval castle.
Photos and information taken from the book Hyde in Old Photographs by Alice Lock.
Many Thanks.

If I'm not mistaken by the angles, the tall chimney in the bottom photo belongs to Boston Mills.
The chimney was still standing up until the mid-seventies, then it was reduced to a 10 foot high stump, which is still there to this day.

If I'm not mistaken Thomas Middleton rode the white horse which was loaned for the occasion by Charlie Barnett a farmer from Godley. Two of the Roman soldiers were Jimmy Timperley and Albert Taylor, and a lady known locally as Russian Annie played an ancient British Queen.

BMW North America Reports 4% Sales Increase in July 2012 and 9.5% Year to Date
Woodcliff Lake, NJ August 1, 2012 The BMW Group in the U.S. (BMW and MINI combined) reported July sales of 27,152 vehicles, an increase of 4 percent from the 26,120 vehicles sold in the same month a year ago. Year-to-date, BMW Group is up 9.5 percent on sales of 185,715 in the first seven months of 2012 compared to 169,641 in the same period in 2011.
High summer is typically a time for vacations rather than car buying which makes the July result satisfying, especially with the unsteady economy and the very short supply of new models in our dealerships, said Ludwig Willisch, President and CEO, BMW of North America, LLC. August will be the tightest month as we complete the model year transition, so were very much looking forward to September and Fall and the much stronger availability of our popular new models.
BMW Brand Sales
Sales of BMW brand vehicles decreased 0.5 percent in July for a total of 21,297 compared to 21,409 vehicles sold in July, 2011. Year-to-date, the BMW brand is up 9.4 percent on sales of 147,801 compared to 135,114 sold in the first seven months of 2011.

Dr. Ronald D. Doctor has been doing Jewish genealogy since 1992. He currently is President of the Kremenets-District Research Group (KDRG). Ron is on the Board of the Jewish Genealogical Society of Oregon, following several years as President and then as Membership Chairman. He also is on the Teaching Committee of the International Institute for Jewish Genealogy (IIJG). He has given numerous genealogy presentations, in Oregon, Washington State, and at IAJGS Conferences.
Before retirement in 1997, Ron was an Associate Professor at the University of Alabama's Graduate School of Library and Information Studies. He has Bachelor's, Master's, and Ph.D. degrees in engineering from UCLA, as well as an MLS from the University of Washington's School of Library and Information Science. In previous careers, he served as the Economics Commissioner on the California State Energy Commission, was a Project Manager at the Rand Corporation, and was Director of Capital Finance for national engineering and accounting firms. Following retirement, he returned to the Pacific Northwest. He now lives in Portland, Oregon.
Ron is researching Doctor (Diokhter), Varer, Averbakh, Korenfeld ... all from Kremenets, Oleksinets, Yampol, and Vishnevets, as well as Kazdoy (Kosodoy), Dubinski, and Dubovski ... all from Kiev, Uman, and Odessa. He has traced his Varer line back to the 1730s and his Averbakh, Korenfeld and Diokhter lines to the mid-1730s.
Emily grew up in North Bellmore, New York, but has lived in the western United States (first New Mexico and now Arizona) for more than 35 years. She has been researching her family lines since 2007: Garber, Macevicki, Malzmann, Kesselman from Yurovshchina, Ukraine (aka Labun or Lubin); Wilensky and Epstein from Kozyany, Belarus (aka Kasan); Liebross and Wenkert from Ustechko, Torski and Zaleshchiki, Ukraine and Radauti, Romania. Her ancestors immigrated to the United States between 1897 and 1922.
After receiving a Bachelors degree in Anthropology from Vassar College, Emily moved west and earned a Masters from the University of New Mexico in Anthropology (specializing in archaeology). She recently retired from a career of more than 30 years in natural resource management with the Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management. She worked as an archaeologist; recreation, lands and minerals specialist; planner; and manager and also served on many wildland fire incidents as a Public Information Officer.
Emily is Treasurer of the Phoenix (Arizona) JGS. She has been an active member of the JGS for several years, teaching courses and workshops. She currently serves as one of the Moderators for the JewishGen Discussion Group and as Ukraine SIG's Town Leader and KehilaLinks Owner for Labun.. She has also given back to the genealogy community by indexing New York City records for a variety of Italian Genealogy Group projects and indexing more than 325 pages of the 1940 U.S. Census for FamilySearch.org.
She maintains both a family history blog, The Extra Yad (www.extrayad.blogspot.com) and a JewishGen Kehilalinks webpage for Yurovshchina (formerly Labun), Ukraine at http://www.kehilalinks.jewshgen.org/yurovshchina/index.html . In addition, she has published an article in Avotaynu on her community genealogy work.
Lest one might think (as her husband and children do) that she spends way too much time on her computer, Emily maintains a semblance of sanity by pursuing other interests as a life-long singer and an avid road bicyclist.
Ariel is an Information Technology professional. He has brought his professional and managerial skills to Ukraine SIG.
His first contribution to the SIG, when he joined it in 2011, was the complete restructuring of the website, creating a town based integrated platform that includes a very friendly user interface, a centralized database and a management panel. He has also created new organizational and information tools.
In addition, Ariel is Ukraine SIG's Odessa and Chechelnik Town Leader and is responsible for the Odessa KehilaLinks and Chechelnik Kehilalinks websites. As a part of those sites, he has created the All Odessa and All Chechelnik databases, two ongoing projects that already contain together more than 60,000 individual records and image documents. Before becoming Odessa Town Leader, he organized a project to collect, translate, and publish Odessa vital records obtained by individual researchers (today integrated into the All Odessa database). Previously, he was part of the project for the "Museum of the Jewish Colonies" website in Argentina.
Ariel began researching his family roots in the late 1990s and later added his wife's family to his research. His family comes originally from Bessarabia and Ukraine. They immigrated to Argentina at the turn of the 20th century. He grew up in Buenos Aires and has lived in Paris, France since 2003.
His family "forest" numbers 1,550 individuals of whom about 700 are living today in 18 different countries on 4 continents. His family genealogy website contains more than 700 pictures and documents going back in some cases to the 17th century. You can visit it at www.thefamilytree.info
Dr. Janette Silverman is a native New Yorker who has lived in Phoenix, Arizona since 2003. Currently she travels between Phoenix and Salt Lake City where she is a Senior Genealogist/Research Manager at ancestryProGenealogists. She has a BA in sociology/anthropology, an MS in Public Admin, an MS in Jewish Studies. She completed a doctorate in Jewish Studies, and her dissertation topic was Jewish genealogical research the title of which is "In Living Memory."
Janette has been active in the JewishGen and IAJGS Communities for many years. She has been the UkraineSIG Coordinator since 2013 and a moderator for the JewishGen Discussion group for 10 years and is on the IAJGS subcommittee for membership development. She was the lead co-chair of the 2016 IAGS conference in Seattle. Previously, she was president of the Phoenix Jewish Genealogy Group, transcribed data for the IGG's New York and New Jersey vital records and naturalization projects and volunteered at the Family History Center's Manhattan branch. For many years, she taught several classes each year on genealogical research techniques.
Janette worked in Jewish education for most of her adult life - teaching religious school, serving as Education Director at Conservative and Reform congregations, as Hillel Outreach Director in Orlando and Sarasota and for the Jewish Federation of Nashville and Middle Tennessee. She served on the Board of the Arizona Jewish Historical Society and on the Board for the regional ADL. Janette is the founder of RelativaTree (http://relativatree.com), a company that offered genealogical research and consulting services.
Janette began looking into her family's history as a project with her father around 1984. She found her 3 years of college Russian were immensely handy as she uncovered family records. As a result, she made some amazing discoveries over the years, including a 1986 realization that one of her grandmother's siblings (her dad's uncle) had survived the Shoah and probably still lived in Europe. Through research and a lot of luck, Janette and her family found him and began a correspondence through his granddaughter, an English teacher in Ukraine. That part of her family still lives in Ivano-Frankivsk. In 2009, Janette finally went to meet them, spending many hours in the Ternopil, Zhytomyr and Ivano-Frankivsk archives.
Joel was born in Chicago, IL, but grew up and was educated in his native Philadelphia, PA where he received BAs from Central High School and Temple University. He majored in mathematics at Carnegie Institute of Technology before majoring in psychology at Temple. Joel has an MA in special education from New York University and several educational certificates. He recently retired after serving on a Child Study Team, monitoring children in special education programs, for more than 30 years.
Joel became interested in genealogy in the 1970s when he was shown a family tree dating back to the 1740s. He has since been primarily researching the names Zeitlin (Zaitlin) and Black (Blakman) from Belarus and Skubin (Skibinski) in Odessa. He has traced the Zeitlins back to about 1550 through rabbinic lines.
Joel is a past president and currently is a trustee of the Jewish Genealogical Society of Greater Philadelphia, which followed several years as chairperson of its Russian Special Interest Group. As past secretary of the International Association of Jewish Genealogical Societies (IAJGS) Joel has had an active role in IAJGS Conferences for more than a decade, including co-chairing the Chicago Conference in 2008.
Joel has been conducting research in several historic Russian language encyclopedias for more than a decade, and is currently excerpting town population data from several of them. He has produced a unique English language index to the Russian language Evreiskaya Entsiklopedia. Joel has given presentations and workshops on the Russian language and has provided translations of many documents to individuals and groups.
Chuck Weinstein began his own family search in 1992. In 1995, he became a moderator for the JewishGen Discussion Group. After three years, he was asked to become Project Manager for what was then known as ShtetLinks. At that time, ShtetLinks had 65 pages, most of them very simple. By the time he resigned from that position in 2004, ShtetLinks (now KehilaLinks), had grown to over 250 individual towns from 16 countries, many of which had developed into very extensive commemorations of their towns. Shortly thereafter, he became a moderator for Ukraine SIG, a post he continues in.
A board member of the Jewish Genealogy Society of Long Island since 2002, Chuck served as President in 2007, 2008, and 2011. He has also served as President of two of his professional organizations in the insurance industry. Chuck also serves on the Committee on Membership for IAJGS.
His roots in Ukraine run deep. His Weinstein and Schnayer ancestors come from Korostyshiv in what was the Volhynia Guberniya, and he also has maternal Weinstein ancestors in Voznesensk in Kherson Guberniya. Other roots are found in Lithuania and Romania. He is able to trace two lines back well into the 18th century and most of his other lines to early in the 19th century.
Chuck currently lives in Bellport, NY, midway out on Long Island. He has 4 children and 5 grandchildren.

2009 NFL Draft Prospect Scouting Report:
Josh Freeman, QB, Kansas State
Josh Freeman has a strong arm and looks like a quarterback, there is no doubt about that. At 6-6 and 250 pounds there is good reason for scouts to drool a little bit. Freeman, who is entering the draft after his junior year, was a three-year starter at Kansas State who owns his fair share of school records. During his final season in Manhattan he tallied 2,945 passing yards, 20 touchdowns and eight interceptions. However, those numbers can be a little deceiving. Eight of those 20 touchdown passes came in three early season games against North Texas, Montana State and Louisiana-Lafayette. That is not exactly tough competition. That leaves Freeman with 12 touchdowns and eight interceptions in the nine other games. His inconsistency is a huge concern and if he could not win in college, many think he cannot win the NFL, no matter how much he looks the part. Freeman should fit into that traditional second round group of quarterbacks that are high on potential. But things are a little different this year since the quarterback class is so light. That means somebody might take a chance on him late in the first round if Matthew Stafford and Mark Sanchez are off the board. 4/16 Update: The further away we get from Freeman actually playing meaningful games, the more his stock rises. On the practice field he looks like a great quarterback and he will probably be gone by the 20th pick in the draft. However, more teams should be scared of his lack of quality production during his collegiate career. But in a year with so few quality quarterbacks, somebody will take him earlier than they should.

ACLU Nativity SceneMore Activism Ideas
Each December, the majority of Americans look forward to the Christmas season and the festivities that accompany it. For the activist left, however, this is the time of year when the politically correct storm troopers at the ACLU attempt to strip away any notion of our history as a spiritually Christian nation by declaring a "War Against Christmas".
This is most prevalent on college campuses, where left wing administrators, professors, and student groups combine to ensure that "tolerance" is fully enforced. Often, this results in universities banning Christmas trees, enforcing the usage of "Happy Holidays", and promoting alternative educational events that pander to left wing social pathologies (i.e., Kwanzaa).
It can be difficult to combat this issue without violating Leadership Institute President Morton Blackwell's maxim: "Never get angry, unless it's on purpose". We can avoid this pitfall by borrowing a page from left-wing community organizer Saul Alinsky.
Alinsky stated that: "The most potent weapons known to mankind are satire and ridicule". It's best to mercilessly mock the left's neurotic obsession with political correctness. Fight back against anti-Christian activists by bringing the ACLU Solstice Barn to your campus.
The ACLU Solstice Barn is a mock nativity display which replaces traditional figures in the manger with representations of left-wing icons. This is an easy way to demonstrate both the ACLU's propensity for defending anything socially reprehensible as well as highlighting the absurdity of what society would look like if their actions were taken to their logical conclusion.
The Display:
Mary & Joseph--Gary & Joseph/Harvey Milk & Barney Frank: Print out two miscellaneous shepherds faces to create a mock gay couple. For a twist include prominent Democratic gay rights heroes like Harvey Milk or Barney Frank.
Baby Jesus--Barack Obama/The Season/The Holiday: Barack Obama as Jesus is a fun way to mock the reverential nature the left places on our President. Another option is to replace the figure of Christ with a slogan like "The Season/The Holiday" to symbolize the triumph of secularism over the actual reason for the holiday.
Three Wise Men--Marx, Lenin, Stalin: The founder and former director of the ACLU, Roger Baldwin was openly sympathetic to communism and advocated for the implementation of this totalitarian ideology in the United States. Given this history, it would only be appropriate to replace the three wise men with the three most prominent Marxists of the 20th century.
Angel--Nancy Pelosi/Hillary Clinton: Any popular left wing female figure should suffice; these are just two of the more prominent ones that come to mind.
How to Take Action:
