lololol so glad those damn pats aren't in the postseason. mia is much more deserving
yall are just mad hating, i mean if any team deserved to make it, its mos def the chargers cuz the Broncos got lucky over that ed hochuli call so actually the division shoulda been wrapped up wit the tampa bay win. The chargers were a good team all year, they just had bad breaks/calls & all their loses were single digits/to good teams and they had a chance to win all those games at the end. I think the Chargers are gonna surprise some ppl in the playoffs this year cuz third times a charm.
^8-8 is not good there not gonna make it past the wild card game 42- 21 colts

Did you play madden before predicting this score? Last time I checked, our games have been within a posession against the colts. They never said much about the seahawks superbowl run seeing that their division sucked and still sucks with the Cards being the first to clinch a division at like week 13. The fact of the matter is that there was still light at the tunnel and Denver had 3 games including trying to embarrass us at home to shut it down. Giants were at the bottom of the playoffs last year and they defeated a supposedly undefeatable team. So with that being said, we'll see the steelers next week.
any charger fan on here who has been to qualcomm,, how good/not good are the seats in field 9 @ around the 12 yd line or so??
Honestly would rather get view seats than going on the field 9. But it's always exciting to see the red zone. If you're lucky enough, you can be able to see the opposing 40 yard line.
^ Tim Tebow isnt playing qb in the nfl so he isnt gonna get drafted high they are expecting second day tight end
Originally posted by Inactive UserLOL i feel sorry them, there goes Tim Tebows career next season
You must be out of your mind if you think Tebow is going to be the number one pick.
8-8 does means something it means you dont have a winning record, and you are an average team but in the playoffs you suck, and mia doesnt deserve it more than the pats
chargers lose 21-41 colts
cardinals lose 14-24 falcons
dolphins lose 10- 17 ravens
vikings lose 20-28 eagles
those things rarely happens in the nfl, so the Chargers will see the steelers next week,
ON TV playing someone else
LOLOLOL so far,, 0 for 2 boss

Deadliest Catch – Season 7 – "Graduation Day"
Whew! What a week! Last week's episode of Deadliest Catch was emotionally charged, with the final showdown between the Cornelia Marie crew and their "skipper" (if you can call him that) Derrick Ray. After no evidence was found on Jake Harris' person, and no evidence was found in his stateroom, no charges were filed as…Details

IT'S BEEN a while since I presented any literary references to the Inland Valley in this space, mostly because I haven't received any - other than one about Montclair that upon further investigation turned out to refer to the city in New Jersey.
But then two references crossed my desk the same day.
Jack Kerouac (!), the Beat author of "On the Road," begins his 1960 autobiographical novel "Lonesome Traveler" with a meeting in San Pedro between himself and his friend Deni Bleu, who says he accidentally wrecked another friend's car while driving it to San Francisco.
Where did this accident occur? Bleu says, "the name of the town I can never and I shall never be able to," then pauses to regain Kerouac's attention before trying again:
"Cucamonga, Practamonga, Calamongonata, I shall never remember the name of that town, but I ran the car head-on into a tree, Jack, and that was that and I was set upon by every scroungy cop lawyer judge doctor indian chief insurance salesman common type in the - I tell you I was lucky to get away alive I had to wire home for all kinds of money, as you know my mother in Vermont has all my savings and when I'm in a real pinch I always wire home, it's my money."
There, there.
The loan of "Lonesome Traveler" was courtesy of my former colleague Wendy Leung, who covered the city of Calamongonata or whatever it's called.
Oh, and suddenly I'm imagining David Letterman, in his "Uma, Oprah" mode, introducing the author and the town.
"Kerouac? Cucamonga. Cucamonga? Kerouac."
(I might also note that my spellcheck suggests I replace "Kerouac" with "karaoke." Jack Karaoke? Hmm.)
The very same day, meanwhile, reader Erwin Anderson left me a voice mail about David L. Goldman's "Primeval."
"He has a scene where some kidnappers kidnap a guy at Dodger Stadium and then helicopter and land at Upland High School and transfer him to a house on Mountain Avenue where they torture and kill him," Anderson reports.
Quite a scene.
"Are you still collecting literary references to the Inland Valley?" Anderson asks.
Why, yes. Yes, I am.
In fact, another reference soon surfaced. Will Plunkett had alerted me last year that retired newspaper columnist Dave Barry's most recent book, "I'll Mature When I'm Dead," cited Rancho Cucamonga, but I forgot about it until finishing the book myself.
In admitting that his attempts at screenplays were unsuccessful because he didn't have movie-length ideas, only short ideas for humor columns, Barry mentions one piece from 1995.
"For me, the ideal topic is something like the one I used once for a Thanksgiving column, based on a newspaper story concerning the president of a company in Rancho Cucamonga, Calif., who proposed that the poultry industry could reduce meat contamination by Super Glue-ing turkey rectums shut," Barry recounts.
"Now if you're a humor columnist trying to write a Thanksgiving column, a news story like this is a gift from God. It has all the elements you're looking for: Turkey rectums; Super Glue; Rancho Cucamonga; and most important of all, turkey rectums."
Barry adds mournfully: "But this kind of idea doesn't lend itself to the plot of a major motion picture."
The company that made Super Glue, based in Rancho Cucamonga, was developing a product named Rectite for poultry rectums that was aimed at decreasing the risk of salmonella poisoning on Thanksgiving.
As Barry wrote, the original story about this proposed product appeared in this very newspaper, courtesy of then-staffer Randyl Drummer, and was mailed to the columnist by multiple readers.
"I am not making up Rancho Cucamonga," Barry wrote. "It's a real place whose odd-sounding name, if you look it up in your Spanish-English dictionary, turns out to mean `Cucamonga Ranch."'
I updated his piece for a Thanksgiving 2002 column. The company with the rights to Super Glue was no longer pursuing that idea, its new president assured me, having evidently concluded it was a turkey.
Disappointing, but a decade later, taking Barry's advice concerning gifts from God, I just got another Thanksgiving column out of it.

Data is king! Big data analysts aren't alone in making this proclamation; we IT pros can drink the Kool-Aid too. In fact, we often depend on the data trail to pin down causes and find solutions for our peskiest problems. However, it's easy to forget raw data tells only part of the story -- and the conclusions we draw from the information may have unforeseen repercussions.
This story of data's reach and limitations dates back to the late 1980s, when our department worked with users in a software development environment. Our users were a mixed group of very talented and intelligent developers, along with those who didn't log in very often, such as salespeople.

I was one of the system administrators, as well as a systems programmer. For our platform, we used Digital Equipment's VAX/VMS, and most users had computer terminals in their offices that tied into a multi-user system. The admins asked users to log out at the end of the day, and most -- but not all -- complied. This became a problem when we had to reboot the system.
Although we requested they log off, we knew some users' projects would be compromised if they lost their command history upon a system reboot. Still others simply needed or wanted to stay logged in, which we could also abide. But then you had a segment of users who forgot to log off or weren't running anything relevant, unnecessarily tying up system resources. That last group also made it difficult for the admins to determine how our after-hours system reboot affected the users overall.
A solution to the rescue
To minimize this conflict, I worked on a convenient solution that happened to be a rather fun project. I'd found free software that would kill idle user processes, and with the program code, I could customize the software to be a little more intelligent.
I modified it to check for terminal I/O activity and to determine if a user was running a program. I didn't want to risk killing any practical user processes, such as a file-editor session that might cause a user to lose changes to a file that had not been saved. Therefore, if a user ran any program or was in a text editor, the program would leave them alone.

Gillingham miss chance to go top
Gillingham squandered their chance to return to the top of League Two after being held 1-1 by York, while Bristol Rovers won away at Rotherham.
Last Updated: 26/01/13 7:23pm
The Kent side would have moved above Port Vale into pole position with victory over York - but they had to settle for a 1-1 draw with the mid-table visitors.
It would have been worse for Martin Allen's men had Cody McDonald not netted in the 85th minute, cancelling out Charlie Lee's 17th-minute own goal.
Rotherham were another side to disappoint at home, slipping out of the play-off positions with a 3-1 defeat against Bristol Rovers.
Rovers led two minutes before half-time through Lee Brown's penalty, before Claude Davis - who gave the spot-kick away - picked up a second yellow card.
Ellis Harrison (52) and Joe Anyinsah (61) made the man advantage count as Rovers moved off the bottom of the table at AFC Wimbledon's expense. David Noble pulled a goal back for the visitors 17 minutes from time.
Jacques Maghoma's fourth-minute penalty proved enough for Burton to see off Barnet and maintain their play-off push, while Southend won by the same margin at Chesterfield, with Gavin Tomlin's 83rd minute goal proving decisive.
Fleetwood returned to winning ways with a 3-0 win over Oxford. Jamille Matt set the ball rolling in the eighth minute, before Ryan Crowther (58) and Jon Parkin (86) wrapped up a win which moves the hosts to within goal difference of the play-offs.
Goals inside the last nine minutes from Stewart Drummond and Ryan Williams gave Morecambe a 2-1 win at Dagenham & Redbridge which moves them further clear of the relegation zone. Luke Wilkinson had given the hosts a 61st-minute lead.
Plymouth and fellow strugglers Accrington could not produce a goal in their Devon clash, a result which does neither side any favours in their quest to stay in the Football League.

Anita and her daughter had moved into their new house only a month earlier. On moving day, the former residents stopped by with a frantic request: their housecat, a 6-year-old brown tabby named Princess, had run away during the commotion of boxes and packing.
It was not long after settling in to their new place that Anita started hearing faint meowing at night. As weeks passed, they began to notice an ammonia-like smell of cat urine lingering in the bathroom. Anita and her daughter examined the room more thoroughly. Looking in the cabinet under the sink where the smell was strongest, they heard a muffled, plaintive meowing. They also noticed that a piece of drywall in the back of the cabinet had recently been patched over.
Anita and her daughter removed the drywall and a bone-thin, moist and matted Princess emerged. They dried her off, gave her some water, offered food, and called the previous owners in Arizona. The shy tabby must have climbed into the tempting recesses of the bathroom plumbing while the wall was briefly open for repairs, becoming trapped there during the last hectic hours before moving. Princess' relieved but anxious owners advised Anita to bring the cat to our clinic; they would be booking the earliest flight back.
Princess was indeed in rough shape after a month trapped in the wall. She was frail and severely dehydrated. We ran blood work on her, set up IV fluids, and fed small, frequent amounts of a bland, easily digestible diet. Other than elevated liver enzymes from malnutrition and weight loss, she was surprisingly healthy considering the trauma she had been through.
Though her liver problems would take some time to recover, within a week at our clinic, Princess was stable enough to return with her owners to Phoenix. She further convalesced at an animal hospital for another month, battling digestive problems on and off for quite some time. But the last we heard, the lucky-to-be-found feline was living quite a pampered life with her family under the Arizona sun.

Possible Top NFL Pick Jake Locker Added to Manning Watch List
Friday, August 6, 2010
Tabbed by many as the likely No. 1 overall pick in next spring's NFL Draft, Washington's Jake Locker (official bio) is the 25th quarterback named to the Manning Award Watch List for 2010-11. The Washington product missed the bulk of his sophomore season in 2008 with a thumb injury but came back for an outstanding junior season after which many expected him to leave early for the NFL. Instead, he has returned looking to close his career with a major bowl appearance. The Manning Award, sponsored by the Allstate Sugar Bowl, is releasing the Watch List one player per day through its official Facebook and Twitter pages. The award has honored the top quarterback in the nation for the past six years.

Overview: Cost, savings and repair strategy
Even the best boat captain has had a docking turn into a scuff-and-chip event. But you don't have to pay astronomical marina fees to get your boat fixed. You can do it yourself with advice from expert fiberglass repair specialist Chris Hassis. He's fixed boo-boos on fiberglass personal watercraft, snowmobiles and pickup toppers, and even luxury yachts. You'll need the right tools and materials—and lots of patience. But he'll show you how to save a ton of money and make your boat look like new. We were astounded at this refurbished boat's rebirth. The boat now looks every bit as good as it did in the showroom.
Most hired-out repairs of any type are roughly 50 percent labor and 50 percent materials. Not so with this fix—hull repairs are all about labor. The repairs on this boat would cost roughly $3,000 at a shop. But the materials only cost about $250 and the buffer about $150! So roll up your sleeves. Your repairs might not be perfect, but your boat will look unbelievably better than it did before. Just don't try to rush or skimp on the materials. And know that this job is much bigger than it looks.
All fiberglass boats have a thick structural core of fiberglass strands impregnated with polyester resin. But the part you actually see is the gel coat. That's the thin layer of pigmented resin that gives the boat its sheen and color. Most light scratches are in the gel coat layer. They can be sanded out and the area built back up with new gel coat. But if they penetrate the core, they need to be filled. You can tell that the scratch is into the core if you see fiberglass fibers (Photo 2).
Remove graphics
No boat spiff-up is complete without new license numbers, transom names and pinstripes. Just do an online search for "boat graphics" and you'll find thousands of options to choose from. Find stripes by searching for "boat pinstripes." Remove the old ones by warming them with a heat gun (Photo 1). But be careful—if you overheat the surface, you can burn the gel coat. If yours are painted on, sand them off with 1,200-grit sandpaper.
Fix gouges: Prep
Grind out gouged areas with a V-shaped grinder bit (Champion SF1; from heavydutystore.com; Photo 2). Sand out the light scratches, starting with 80-grit and ending with 240-grit.
Fix gouges: Fill and smooth
To fix gouges and deep scratches, you'll need "chop" (powdered fiberglass) filler, gel coat and gel coat reducer. Jot down your boat's model and serial numbers and contact the manufacturer to order gel coat (about $100 per qt.) to match your boat's color. It may not be an exact match, but it'll be a lot closer than mixing colors from scratch. Then order some gel coat reducer (Patch-Aid is one brand; about $49 per qt. from minicraft.com or spectrumcolor.com) to thin the mixture enough to go through the spray gun. For gouge repair, you'll mix chop filler (Chris uses Cab-O-Sil from epoxy5050.com) with the gel coat to create a thick paste. Then pick up paper cups, stir sticks, acetone (for cleanup) and rags. You'll also need a disposable spray gun (Preval is one brand; about $7 online or at paint and art supply stores). To finish the job, you'll need a professional-type buffer. The variable-speed feature is important, and so is the high power of a professional buffer. So don't skimp on one or think you can get by with a $29 wax polisher. Use a wool buffing pad (such as a Dewalt DW4988 pad, available through our affiliation with amazon.com or westmarine.com), and buffing compound (3M Imperial Compound and Finishing Material, which is what Chris uses, available through our affiliation with amazon.com or westmarine.com).
Mixing gel coat is a messy and stinky process—so wear chemical-resistant gloves, safety goggles and a respirator. Start with a small amount of gel coat and stir in the chop and hardener to make a putty that's the consistency of peanut butter (Photo 3). Once you add the hardener, you've only got a 10- to 20-minute "open" time, so mix small batches and work on one gouge at a time. Thorough mixing is critical to proper curing. Spend a full minute stirring. If you don't, you'll end up with patches of sticky resin that can take days to harden.
Overfill gouges so the filler mounds slightly. You'll sand it flush after it cures. Curing can take one to two hours—depending on humidity levels. So test it by touch. If it's sticky, it's not fully cured. Once it's fully hardened, sand it with 80-grit sandpaper (Photo 5).
Color-Matching Gel Coats
Sometimes you can't get your hands on factory gel coat (your boat is too old or the manufacturer is out of business). Then you have two options. You can order an off-the-shelf color that's close to yours and decide that "close enough is good enough." The other option is to custom mix, but be aware that this is no easy task. Buy a color chip chart for off-the-shelf colors (from a local marine supplier, or get the No. 01900 color chart from rayplex.com for about $12). Mix your own color with a kit (No. 33114; about $35) from rayplex.com.
Fix gouges: Apply the finish
Now you're ready to mix a fresh batch of gel coat (without the chop) and spray the scratched and patched areas (Photos 6 and 7). Chris recommends using a disposable spray gun and paper cups. Unthinned gel coat won't go through the sprayer. Add the recommended amount of reducer (read label directions) and hardener and mix the ingredients. Spray the patched areas with short bursts. Spraying gel coat isn't like spraying paint. It splatters on and has to be sanded and buffed to get to a smooth gloss. So don't be disappointed that the finish isn't paint-like right away.
Final-sand, buff and wax
Wait for the gel coat to cure. Sand the repairs with 600-grit and then 800-grit sandpaper. For the perfect finish, sand with 1,200-grit wet/ dry paper then buff (Photo 8). Apply buffing compound directly to the pad. Work on a 2 x 2-ft. area and use light to medium pressure at a fairly low speed. Reduce pressure as the compound starts to dry. Wipe off the haze as you go. Apply the graphics and then wax.
Order of Events
Wash and rinse the boat. That will show you all the dings that need fixing. Mark them with masking tape so you won't forget any.
If you're replacing pinstripes, license decals or other graphics, remove them next.
Fill any deep gouges and spend your time sanding out scratches while the filler sets up.
Apply gel coat to the filled gouges and finish to the scratches and then final-sand the filled gouges.
Buff all the repaired areas and then the rest of the boat.
Apply any graphics to finish up.

Food could prevent a fight with your spouse
COLUMBUS, Ohio (WTVN) -- Grabbing something to eat could prevent a big fight with your mate, according to a study from Ohio State University researchers.
In a 21-day study, researchers found that levels of blood glucose in 107 married couples, measured each night, predicted how angry they would be with their spouse that evening.
At the end of the 21 days, people who had generally lower levels of glucose were willing to blast their spouses with unpleasant noises at a higher volume and for a longer time than those who had higher glucose levels.
"It illustrates the point that hungry people are often very cranky and irritable and angry," said Brad Bushman, lead author of the study and professor of communication and psychology at The Ohio State University.
It even has a slang term: "hangry."
Blood glucose levels can be brought up most quickly by eating carbohydrates or sugary foods.
"We found that being hangry can affect our behavior in a bad way, even in our most intimate relationships," he said.
All participants were given a voodoo doll that they were told represented their spouse, along with 51 pins. At the end of each day, for 21 consecutive days, the participants inserted 0 to 51 pins in the doll, depending on how angry they were with their spouse. They did this alone, without their spouses being present, and recorded the number of pins they stuck in the doll.
Each person also used a blood glucose meter to measure glucose levels before breakfast and every evening before bed for the 21 days.
The result: The lower the participants' evening blood glucose levels, the more pins they stuck in the doll representing their spouse. This association was present even after the researchers took into account the couples' relationship satisfaction.
"When they had lower blood glucose, they felt angrier and took it out on the dolls representing their spouse," Bushman said. "Even those who reported they had good relationships with their spouses were more likely to express anger if their blood glucose levels were lower."
But it wasn't just the dolls who took the brunt of the anger. After the 21 days, the couples came into the laboratory to take part in an experimental task.
They were told they would compete with their spouse to see who could press a button faster when a target square turned red on the computer - and the winner on each trial could blast his or her spouse with loud noise through headphones.
In reality, though, they weren't playing against their spouse - they were playing against a computer that let them win about half the time.
Each time they "won," the participants decided how loud of a noise they would deliver to their spouse and how long it would last. Their spouses were in separate rooms during the experiment, so participants didn't know they weren't really delivering the noise blast.
"Within the ethical limits of the lab, we gave these participants a weapon that they could use to blast their spouse with unpleasant noise," Bushman said.
Results showed that people with lower average levels of evening glucose sent louder and longer noise to their spouse - even after controlling for relationship satisfaction and differences between men and women.
Further analysis showed that those who stuck more pins in the voodoo doll representing their spouse were more likely to deliver louder and longer noise blasts, as well.
"We found a clear link between aggressive impulses as seen with the dolls and actual aggressive behavior," he said.
Bushman said that glucose is fuel for the brain. The self-control needed to deal with anger and aggressive impulses takes energy, and that energy is provided in part by glucose.
"Even though the brain is only 2 percent of our body weight, it consumes about 20 percent of our calories. It is a very demanding organ when it comes to energy," he said.
"It's simple advice but it works: Before you have a difficult conversation with your spouse, make sure you're not hungry."
The research was funded by a grant from the National Science Foundation.

Parish Registers
After locating and documenting your ancestors in the GRO (civil registration) indexes, purchasing certificates where necessary and finding them all family members in the various census it is time to consider parish registers.
At one time the registers were kept at the church usually in the safe along with the altar silver and other precious items. If you wanted to search these registers it meant writing to the Vicar and arranging a time to visit and organising a trip to each parish, genealogy was a slow process in those days if you lived a long way from where your ancestors lived and died.
Then in 1992 the Church of England decided that all christening, marriages and burial registers that contained entries more than 150 years old should be deposited in the diocesan record office. Marriage registers after 1837 were exempt as copies would already have been sent to the General Registry Office. It should be noted that most of the Diocesan Record Offices are located in the County Record Office and are administered by the same staff. Many of the registers had been deposited prior to this edict. Some parishes opted to keep their registers, but they had to undertake to store them in a fire proof, humidity controlled safe. These are quite expensive and so only a few parishes could afford to supply these archival standard conditions.
History of the Registers
After the split with the Roman Catholic Church it was decreed by the Church of England in 1538 that parish registers would be kept by each parish cleric, they would contain entries for all the christenings, marriages and burials that took place in the parish. The details of the edict were that the events were to be recorded weekly by the Vicar in the presence of the Churchwardens, that the papers that contained the written accounts were to be kept in a sturdy chest and the chest would be kept in the Church. The chest was to have two locks, the key to one lock to be kept by the Vicar and the other by the Churchwardens. There was to be a significant fine for failure to comply with any or all of the aspects of the decree.
Needless to say some parishes suspected the reason for keeping such records and ignored both the edict and the fines. In 1547 there was a change that stated that the fines, if collect, should now be paid towards the relief for the poor rather than to the diocesan.
In 1598 there was another amendment this time it was decided that the records were to be kept in 'great decent books of parchment' and that every month a copy of the previous months entries were to be sent to the Bishops office. These copies are known as "Bishops Transcripts" and are invaluable as they can be used if the original parish registers have not survived. It should be noted when using "Bishops Transcripts" that errors may well have occurred during the copying process. Having said that I have seen a number of B.T's that have had notes added to them which are not in the original register.
Previous records were suppose to be copied into the new parchment registers if they had been written on loose sheets. The wording contained the phrase "especially from the first year of Her Majesty's reign (1558), which meant that some clerics took the easy way out and only copied the entries from 1558, the earlier 20 years being omitted. It can be seen that many of the earlier records have been lost over the years.
The week's entries were to be read out after Evensong every Sunday and the chest was to have another lock fitted so that a third person could hold a key. The new books would have been costly and the expense had to be found by the parish by way of a fee charged for each entry. Many parishioners couldn't or would pay the fees and often they were waived.
Dade & Barrington Registers
The Reverend William Dade was a clergyman in Yorkshire who felt strongly that more information should be recorded in baptism and burial registers than was being generally entered at the time. He designed what have become known as the Dade Registers. The registers came into circulation in the late 18th century and should have ceased use when George Rose's Act came into law in 1813, however many parishes continued with the Dade registers as they wished to recorded more information than the Rose registers allowed.
Dade registers required the following information to be recorded :-
Date of birth
Date of baptism
Child's name
Seniority in family – for example 3rd son
Father's name & occupation
Mother's name
Families abode
Grandparents names, occupations & abodes
Date of death
Date of burial
Deceased's name
Cause of death
In 1783 the Bishop of Salisbury the Reverend Shute Barrington set out a similar set of registers to Dade, the Barrington registers where a little simpler and easier to use than Dade's so were more popular with the clergy. When the Reverend Barrington became Bishop of Durham the use of his registers spread to Northumberland and Durham.
The Registers
Baptisms – up to 1813
Generally these records will record the child's name and the names of the parents, sometimes only the father's name is given. It is very rare for the mother's maiden name to be recorded apart from when recording the baptism of an illegitimate (base born) child. Occasionally a cleric will record only the child's name and no parentage details are given. At the very least the month and year of the event will be given, most often a full date, day, month, year is recorded. Depending on the whim of the cleric the occupation of the father and address of the family may be recorded.
Marriages – up to 1813
The names of the bride and groom are given, if either or both parties were from another parish this may, or may not, be recorded. The full date of the marriage is normally given. Names of the witnesses to the marriage and whether the couple were married by banns or by licence may be recorded.
Burials – up to 1813
As there were no facilities for keeping bodies in a safe condition for long periods of time burials usually took place within a few days of the death. The name of the deceased and the date of burial will be recorded. If the name of the individual isn't known then a description of the circumstances of the finding of the body is often given. For example "A middle aged man found drowned in Pitt Farm pond, name unknown".
Women may be described as the widow or wife of the husband. For example "Sarah wife of Robert Smith". Sometimes if this information is written the forename of the woman is omitted. If a child or young person dies then they may be described as "the son of" or "the daughter of". Sometimes for males an occupation is given.From 1666 they may well be mention of the deceased being buried in woollen, this was in accordance with the Burial in Woollen Acts of 1666 & 1680.
Baptisms – from 1813
The information given in the baptism registers is:-
When baptised
Child's Christian Name
Parents names; Christian & Surname
Quality, Trade or Profession
By Whom the ceremony was performed
There was no provision for the recording of the child's date of birth, but this can sometimes be found in the margin. An illegitimate (base-born) child may have only the mother's name recorded or may have the phrase "reputed child of" and then the name of the person whom the mother said was the father.
Commonwealth Period
The Commonwealth period saw the church records being poorly kept, some parishes well away from the areas of conflict continued as before, but most parishes saw some disruption. Parish clergy may have been banished from their parishes and no one took their place, other areas later (1653 – 1660) saw the introduction of officials called "Parish Registers" who were given the task of recording births, marriages and deaths as opposed to christenings, marriages and burials.
Some registers went missing during this time only to reappear with the dispossessed clerics, others were lost for ever. Things returned to normal following the Restoration in 1660. However you need to be aware of this time period when much disruption occurred. Wills and other probate documents will be covered in another lesson, they can be a very good source of information for this time period.
Buried in Wool
In 1678 the wool trade in England was suffering from decline so an act was passed making it compulsory for all corpses to be buried in a shroud made of wool. An affidavit had to be declared by someone who had viewed the body prior to burial to confirm that the shroud had been made of wool. Wealthy families who wished to bury their dead in linen or some other material could pay a fine to allow this to happen.
These affidavits sometimes were written alongside the burial entry and sometimes were on separate papers. Later there were pre printed forms that could be filled in. The person who made the affidavit generally was a family member or a local woman who took on the job of laying out the parish dead.
The fees for registering an event rose dramatically in 1694, the war against France had been costly so more revenue was needed. A christening rose to 4d, marriage 12d and burials 4d, the poor were except from the fees. Also the fines for neglecting to record events were increased. By 1733 it was decided that entries should be in English rather than Latin, but by then most of the registers were already being written in English.
Gregorian Calendar
In 1752 it was decided that Britain would come into line with Europe and adopt the Gregorian calendar, this meant that 2 September was followed by 14 September. Therefore for a time period you will see in registers both "old style" and "new style" dates between 1 January and 25 March i.e. a baptism recorded as occurring on 7 February 1752 (new style) will be recorded as 7 February 1751/2.
Hardwick Marriage Act
Lord Hardwick's Marriage Act of 1754 came into effect to prevent irregular and clandestine marriages. A separate marriage register had to be kept, later registers were pre-printed forms. The reading of banns was more closely enforced as was the issuing of licences.
Rose's Act
In 1812 Rose's Act was passed and this stipulated that registers were to be better kept and preserved. Printed registers one for each event were supplied by the King's printing press and these registers have remained almost unchanged to the present time.
By 1853 the condition of churchyards in the major cities had become a disgrace due to over use. The Cemetery Act of that year allowed for separate burial grounds apart from parish churches, these were either established by local authorities or private investment companies.
Where to find the parish registers
Ancestry.co.uk, FindMyPast.co.uk and TheGenealogist.co.uk all offer parish registers within their collections.
TheGenealogist offers only transcripts of registers, this is not to say that their collection is of no value, but there is always the chance that an error has been made during transcription. Also some transcripts aren't a record of everything that is in the original document.
www.familysearch.org is the Mormon (LDS) website, for their own religious reasons the LDS Church members research their family history. So that their members can undertake this practice the church has undertaken for many years to film and more recently digitise parish registers amongst many other documents. These are then indexed and placed online freely available to all. These are indexes only and do not contain details other than the very basic information. The church is now placing online, where the original document owners agree, scans of the actual registers.
Ancestry.co.uk have the entire parish register and bishop transcript collection that is held by the London Metropolitan Archives as well as other collections from an ever increasing number of County Record Offices.
FindMyPast.co.uk has an agreement with Westminster Archives to scan and place online indexed images of their parish register holdings. They also have the contract with the Federation of Family History Society to place online the transcripts that their members have compiled from parish registers in their area.
OnlineParishClerk.co.uk is a website that encourages people to adopt a parish, transcribe the registers and place them online. The coverage is patchy over the country, but is being added to constantly. Again it is important to remember that whilst transcripts are valuable, looking at the original document is much preferable.
When adding records to your family tree it is good practice to record where you got the information from and whether it was from an original document or a transcript.
Parish registers are a wonderful resource for family historians, it is thought provoking to view the handwriting of a cleric who knew and had spoken to your ancestor.

A win, but not easy
The Buffalo Sabres are the worst team in the Eastern Conference.
But they have a great goaltender in Ryan Miller, and your Montreal Canadiens have a habit of making things difficult in games they should win easily.
A third-period goal by Brendan Gallagher gave his team some breathing room after the Sabres came back from a 2-0 deficit to make the game interesting.
Alex Galchenyuk and David Desharnais (also on a power play) staked the CH to their early lead.
Andrei Markov assisted on all three goals.
Matt Moulson scored late in the second period for the home team's only goal.
Carey Price made 24 saves.
The Canadiens had 31 shots on Miller.
Gallagher seals the deal
Brendan Gallagher's ninth of the year was a smokin' one-timer during a late-game power play.
The Canadiens outshot Buffalo 15-11 over the final 20 minutes.
The worst lead in hockey
David Desharnais tipping in P.K. Subban's shot on a Canadiens power play made it 2-0.
But the Sabres didn't fold.
Drew Stafford bodied Subban off the puck behind the Canadiens' net and fed Matt Moulson, unaccountably all alone in front of Carey Price..
As he is wont to do, Moulson buried the chance for his ninth of the season.
Buffalo outshot the Canadiens 10-7.
And the first-period goal we thought was Andrei Markov's hit Alex Galchenyuk's leg on its way past Ryan Miller, giving the kid six on the season.
Markov buries one
Using Alex Galchenyuk crashing Ryan Miller's crease as a decoy, Lars Eller beat Drew Stafford and fed a perfect drop pass to Andrei Markov, who fired a shot that ticked in off Galchenyuk's leg..
The Canadiens killed a four-minute high-sticking penalty to Galchenyuk and will start the second period on a power play.
Shots were 9-4 Canadiens, but Luke Adam missed an open net for Buffalo and Ville Leino rang one off the post past Carey Price.
The Sabres have given up the first goal in 21 of their 26 starts this season.
They had one shot at even-strength in the first period.
Trap game?
Even at this early stage of the NHL season, there's a 17-point gap between your Montreal Canadiens and their Atlantic Division "rivals", the Buffalo Sabres.
The Canadiens have scored 20 more goals than Buffalo.
They've allowed 28 fewer.
The Canadiens have won three in a row. The Sabres are on a four-game losing streak.
Buffalo is 2-10-1 at home, the Canadiens 6-4-0 on the road.
Heck, why play the game at all? Just award two points to the visiting team in Buffalo and let's get on with the serious part of the schedule.
But funny things can happen in a game played on a slippery surface, with Ryan Miller standing at one end of it.
The Sabres won three of the teams' five games last season. This is the first of four ostensible mismatches in 2013-'14.

Heart Hospital using new means to treat atrial fibrillation
About 2 million American adults suffer from atrial fibrillation, the most common heart rhythm disorder.
The condition accounts for more than 20 percent of stroke-related deaths a year, and until recently, the only real way to treat it was with blood-thinning drugs.
The problem, though, is that blood thinners can lead to fatal bleeding episodes. One anticoagulant, Warfarin, is the main ingredient in rat poison. And atrial fibrillation patients don't like taking rat poison.
Now, though, the Heart Hospital of New Mexico at Lovelace Medical Center is one of a small number of hospitals across the U.S. that are pioneering a new, minimally-invasive procedure that can control A Fib without drugs.
It's called the LARIAT Suture Delivery Device, and the Heart Hospital is the only hospital in the state that offers it.
The condition involves an atrial appendage on the left side of the heart that normally contracts, allowing blood to flow in and out of it. However, in patients with A Fib, the appendage no longer rhythmically contracts. That results in sluggish blood flow that can cause blood to pool and clot. It's those clots that can lead to strokes, said Dr. Ross Downey of the New Mexico Heart Institute.
To fix the problem, researchers have developed a procedure where two catheters are guided underneath the breast bone into the patient's heart. One catheter contains a pre-tied suture loop that's similar to a lasso. It is slipped around the appendage, tied off and the appendage turns into scar tissue over time.
The procedure, Downey said, is completed through small incisions in a patient's skin, and the patient has less pain and a shorter recovery period.
"Heart Hospital of New Mexico is proud to offer this innovative procedure that will improve quality of life for our patients," Downey said. "Our mission is to provide cutting-edge, high-quality cardiovascular care to our patients and the LARIAT 'lasso' is another example of our commitment to this mission."
Dr. Robert Federici of the Heart Institute said, "LARIAT is a better option for people who can have it and don't need to be on blood thinners the rest of their lives. It could be a game-changer."
About 150 A Fib procedures are being done a year in the U.S., and so far, 1,200 have been done. The Heart Hospital has done two A Fib procedures since February.
In another first, Heart Institute Dr. Steve Henao was the first physician in the U.S. to perform a life-saving surgery to repair an abdominal aortic aneurysm.
The virtually incision-less surgery used the latest stent-graft devices to repair the aneurysm from inside the patient's blood vessel and rerouted the blood away from the aortic tear, said Heart Institute spokeswoman Martha Mowry.
The patient went home in less than 48 hours, Mowry said.
Traditional treatment for the condition involves extensive abdominal and pelvic surgery, and hospitalization lasting for a week or more. Recovery usually takes months, Mowry added.
The abdominal aneurysms are present in 1.3 percent of men between the ages of 45 and 54 and 12.5 percent of men 75 to 84. Patients with ruptures have a 10 percent survival rate, Mowry said.
First on the scene
The Heart Hospital of New Mexico and the New Mexico Heart Institute have had two firsts. The facility is the only New Mexico hospital to offer the LARIAT Suture procedure to atrial fibrillation patients, and it was the first hospital in the U.S. to use a new, minimally-invasive procedure to repair a ruptured aortic aneurysm.

MFA Program at USC leaps into top 50
Contact: Peggy Binette 803-777-5400 firstname.lastname@example.com
The thriving MFA Program at the University of South Carolina has broken into the top 50 MFA programs in the United States, according to a ranking released this week by Poets & Writers.
The program, part of the College of Arts and Sciences, vaulted to No. 49, up 55 spots from last year, in the 2012 Poets & Writers Top 50 MFA Programs. The rankings appear in the September/October issue of the magazine, which provides the only rankings for MFA programs.
"A great research university like Carolina needs to demonstrate strength in all branches of human knowledge and creativity," Dr. Mary Anne Fitzpatrick, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, said. "We are proud of the recent ranking of our MFA program as one of the top programs in the country."
Elise Blackwell, director of the MFA program and an associate professor of English, credits the rise in the ranking to the dedication and hard work of the faculty.
"This is exciting news," Blackwell said. "Our faculty have worked hard to bolster our program and get the word out about its quality to students throughout the country. We're receiving stellar applications from all regions and a handful from other countries. This ranking is an affirmation of our hard work and quality of faculty and students."
Blackwell, who has written four novels, says the Poets & Writers ranking will be a boon to recruitment.
"It certainly helps with recruitment and is also good news for current students and recent alumni whose degrees now come from a program with a higher profile."
To access the 2012 Poets & Writers Top 50 MFA Programs, go to www.pw.org/content/2012_mfa_rankings_the_top_fifty
Several factors make the university's MFA Program attractive to students, including the fact that it offers the intimacy of a small program with the resources of a major research university.
Students can choose from poetry, fiction and creative non-fiction tracks and have the opportunity to work with published writing faculty.

How can you tell your baby is allergic to formula?
How can you tell that your baby is allergic to formula? I already consult to my pediatrics about it, explaining the symptoms and he said that my baby should drink soy formula instead. That I did.
The symptoms he has (that I noticed) are vomiting, a bit of rash on his neck and white tongue. He also easily catches cold, despite the fact I nursed him exclusively for the first three months.
The thing is, my friends comment that maybe I should just change the brand and not go directly using soy formula.
Any suggestions?

There are many alternatives that are safer and healthier than soy. Soy is a full of artificial hormones and most all soy is genetically modified. Did your babies symptoms persist after switching to soy? There are sensitive formulas as well as formulas that lack milk protein. Other options that you may want to explore include acquiring donor breastmilk for your baby or trying to relactate.

The vomit stops for sure. But the rash and the white on his tongue, I might have to wait on it and see.
If the conditions are still the same, I won't use soy anymore.
There is one brand of milk my friend suggested, her kid is the same as mine. After using this brand, he rarely sick anymore. I might try that one if soy doesn't work. Thanks

Hopes of Northern Mexico Riding on 'Superhighway'
It is being called the largest engineering project in Mexico since the Aztecs built the Pyramids of Teotihuacan 1900 years ago. 1200 WOAI news reports the $1.5 billion Durango to Mazatlan Superhighway is set to open this fall, marking a major engineering advance for Mexico.
"This will change northern Mexico for good," Frank Cordova, the Secretary of Tourism for the Mexican coastal state of Sinaloa tells 1200 WOAI news. "And it is definitely going to improve land communication between the United States and Mexico."
The highway has been a top priority for three Mexican Presidential Administrations, and in addition to making it possible to drive, on American-style 'Interstate' type highways, from Laredo Texas all the way to the Pacific Coast resort of Mazatlan, the road will open much of Northern Mexico which has been prime recruiting ground for the violent drug cartels, up to legitimate business.
In fact, the only thing many Americans know about Sinaloa is that it is the home of the Sinaloa Cartel, the perceived 'winner' in Mexico's bloody drug wars. The Sinaloa Cartel has carried out beheadings and other atrocities across northern Mexico, including one infamous incident not far from the area where the Superhighway will travel.
Cordova says his interest is in helping turn the magnificent colonial beach city of Mazatlan into an international tourist destination to rival Cancun. He points out Mazatlan has already been named a 'Magic City,' a designation which allows it to receive special funding and promotion as a tourist destination.
"This is now a much much safer place and it much easier to get here," he said. "We are not only about eight hours away from the U.S. border."
He says the new road cuts the travel time across the Sierra Madre in half. The current route, the sometimes infamous 'Devil's Backbone' on Highway 40, was a white knuckle drive for many American motorists.
"This old highway was particularly dangerous, especially for our American neighbors, our visitors to the north, who had motor homes," he said.
The new Superhighway includes the highest bridge in the Western Hemisphere, 1321 feet over the Baluarte River which divides the states of Sinaloa and Durango. That makes the bridge about as high as the Empire State Building.
Former President Felipe Calderon has called the Superhighway and the bridge 'a symbol of the prosperity we want for Mexico, a symbol of the future.'
It also represents a blow against organized crime activity in Northern Mexico stronger than any police or military action against the cartels. Calderon says the road to defeating crime is to allow people in northwest Mexico to be able to have access to good legal jobs.
"By opening these activities," he said. "We shut down other activities we don't want."
Investment does in fact appear to be following the Superhighway project. Delphi, the Michigan based auto marts maker, has already announced plans to build a plant in Durango. Chinese and Chilean firms have also announced plans to move into the region. All of them cited the new quick travel to the Port of Mazatlan over the new Superhighway as a major reason for their decision to locate in Durango, where average wages remain among the lowest in the Americas, about $13 a day.
The Sierra Madre has long been known as one of the most rugged and inhospitable areas of Mexico, making it the likely place for illegal activities to grow and flourish. The reputation was honed by films like Humphrey Bogart's 'The Treasure of the Sierra Madre,' which portrayed the area as lawless, and run by criminals and corrupt 'Federales.'
Currently, the U.S. government urges Americans to avoid the mountains of Sinaloa. Cordova hopes this highway, and the commerce it will bring to his state, will relegate those warnings, like Bogart's film, to the distant past.

T.I. Offers Sobering Words on Ferguson
T.I. has been one of the most prominent celebrities speaking out about the crime and protesting in Ferguson. His initial Tweet was somewhat criticized by many of his followers, yet others found his words sobering. He wrote, "We needed to play chess instead of checkers," he said. "We should have waited to see if justice was going to be served first. We shouldn't have played our strongest hand first."
Now as we enter a second week of protesting and police clashes in Ferguson, Missouri, T.I. took to Instagram to elaborate on his thoughts and what he observes is one of the biggest problems with the African American response to the shooting death of Michael Brown.
Alongside an image of a young man looting the QuikTrip in Ferguson, T.I. wrote:
(To My People) Look at us. Rebels without a cause. Soldiers without a general. A lost generation. Ready for War. No strategy, no training. Armed only with our grief, aggravation, and passionate disdain for our treatment in America. Sick and tired of everything…especially ourselves. We'd rather use the tragedies of our environment as an excuse to act-out, go-off,or turn-up, rather than use our education, talents & future opportunities to get-out, speak-up, & make-a-change. Look at us… Too Enraged to sit around & do nothing. But Too Entrapped in da cycle of vengeance/hostility to do anything WORTH doing. Look at us. So upset with our conditions that we've gone into "F***-it" mode… "F***-the-world" "F***-the-Police" And even "F***" the wishes & request of a grieving mother, father, family who lost a son…who's memory they would NOT like to see tarnished by OUR negative ACTIONS/DECISIONS. Naaah G, that ain't the code, this ain't da way. What I see us doing is just as futile as swinging wildly into the wind,waiting on the air to get tired.
One question to MY PEOPLE: What are we changing…Really? Look at us. Destroying our own community, but continuing to spend money in theirs. Refusing education… re-volving in the same cycle of ignorance instead of e-volving out of it. I must admit that I TOO am disgusted wit America's treatment. I TOO demand change. But Goddddaaaaamn man…. Look at us!!!!! Although I too am at fault to a degree & I admit that I may not have all da answers… I do have a fun fact for you. Insanity is…Going about things the same way, expecting a different result. U wanna different result? U must take different action. What else do u expect? Look at us!!!
In another Instagram post that same day, Tip wrote:
Look at us….America has created a monster. The result of ignoring & mishandling an already fragile spirited, recently enslaved, presently oppressed race/generation of people. Look at us. We're the monster that now refuses to be dismissed, overlooked, & ignored. We were brought to this place, unaware of our own cultures, religion, &traditions therefore,we created our own. Now look at us. For years we've been crying out for the nation to address the substandard education systems & disparaging treatment of our citizens in communities across America. Our people have had an increasing lack of opportunities for generations. There have been homes broken, lives shattered, and futures lost on your watch….unanswered. Look at us. How long can u expect a nation/race/generation of people to be blatantly disrespected? Spoken to and treated with arrogant tones of insignificance. Our fathers, uncles ,brothers & role models were killed & Imprisoned more often than educated. Now look at us. Our friends, & relatives Murdered and cast aside without thought, as though your human life is more valuable than ours. How long can that go on without consequence? Now Look at us. How long can u continue to pass the buck & make excuses of why u can't do today what should have been done yeste-year? Although I DO NOT support the negative responses & actions of my people in light of dis tragedy….I WILL NOT condone your lack of effort to show any urgency to improve the treatment of our people, nor the living conditions in our communities. Your refusal to address these life altering issues makes events such as these seem inevitable. Although I too am at fault to a degree & I admit that I may not have all da answers… I do have a fun fact for you. Insanity is…Going about things the same way, expecting a different result.

LAKEWOOD - A construction contractor is scheduled to be selected at Tuesday's City Council meeting for a $3.2 million street repaving project.
All American Asphalt, a Corona-based company, submitted the lowest bid of $2.8 million and is recommended to receive the contract, according to city staff reports.
The repaving project, which is scheduled to begin in late January and be completed in May, includes 5.7 miles of seven major Lakewood roadways.
One road will be repaved at a time. Curbs, gutters and sidewalks along the roads also will be repaired.
The roads include:
Arbor Road between Lakewood and Paramount boulevards;
Ashworth Street between Lakewood Boulevard and Clark Avenue;
Carson Street between Nectar Avenue and Pioneer Boulevard;
Del Amo Boulevard between Clark Avenue and Studebaker Road;
Palo Verde Avenue between South and Allington streets; and
South Street between Lakewood Boulevard and Downey Avenue.
The $3.2 million project will be paid with federal and county transportation funds.
Other items on the council agenda include:
The purchase of a new 14-foot-by-36-foot, $158,380 mobile stage for special events, such as concerts in the park, Pan Am Fiesta and the Civic Center Block Party. The city's previous, 25-year-old stage became unusable in 2010.
An agreement by Caltrans to relinquish jurisdiction of Lakewood Boulevard to the city, which has been pushing for the agreement. Giving the city jurisdiction of the boulevard will speed up future improvement projects and allow it to be maintained with the same standards as other roadways in the city, according to staff reports.
Caltrans would pay Lakewood $574,000 to cover future maintenance costs. The city also expects to use other funding sources for major streets so it won't incur a substantial fiscal liability by taking over jurisdiction of the boulevard.
If the council approves the agreement, the next step will be for the California Transportation Commission to approve it in early 2012.
The council meets at 7:30p.m. at the Centre at Sycamore Plaza, 5000 Clark Ave.

Director's Letter
Welcome to the School of Architecture at Florida Atlantic University
The education of an architect embraces an underlying ethos made up of factors such as human and societal patterns and needs, structural economy, and environmental responsiveness. These factors, among others, contribute to the evolution of a comprehensive understanding of the relationship between the design of the built environment and the physical manifestation of the environment itself.
As designers, we approach the world with a broadened perspective, envisioning integrative systems that move beyond a design as such, to include a knowledge base ranging from the correlation between the built and natural environment to fabrication processes and the analysis of such processes. The critical defining element in maneuvering through technological, societal, historical, material and environmental phenomena is the individual's perceptual development, and the formation and growth of a value system that helps guide creative processes.
Florida Atlantic University's School of Architecture offers a Bachelor of Architecture degree. The Bachelor of Architecture degree is a five-year First Professional Degree program, and is fully accredited by the National Architectural Accrediting Board. It fulfills the educational requirement towards professional registration and creates a solid foundation for lifelong studies in architecture and other related fields.
We offer a special study environment, with our freshman and sophomore students located on the Boca Raton campus. The added value of a campus setting¬–including exposure to University-wide lectures, arts and performances¬–helps engage students in broader discourses about society, politics, and culture.
During the final three years of the program, core courses are taught in a very unique coastal urban setting in downtown Fort Lauderdale. This vibrant, rapidly changing environment provides students and faculty a living laboratory to explore broadly based architectural and urban issues. The School's MetroLAB is the downtown hub for student and faculty exhibitions, community engagement projects, and for hosting our own lecture series comprised of leading architects, designers and theoreticians.
The core teachings of our foundational program involve learning design principles including the vocabulary of architecture and related concepts about form and space. From the links between the natural environment and diverse models of human habitat, to the beauty of materials and how they are put together, our goal is to inscribe an attitude that stimulates curiosity and investigation, the imagination and the poetry of making, and provides students with the communicative and analytical skills necessary for continued academic success.
The educational experience in our upper division is designed to empower students with the ability to continually develop the constructive imagination through critical analysis and synthesis. Our integrative curriculum centers on the studio design sequence and traverses societal, ecological, technological, and professional practices as they relate to design; design is understood as a creative act that covets a comprehensive understanding of society, culture, and the environment.
The University's Distinction Through Discovery program enhances the curriculum. The program offers undergraduate students unique funded research opportunities. Students work with faculty members developing design hypotheses and modeling new forms of design knowledge. The focus areas of our faculty include history and theory, social and ethical issues, emerging technologies, and sustainable practices. Highlights within these focus areas vary from the study of urban issues, community-based engagement, and the effects of climate change, to green building and performance-based design, building systems thinking, advanced digital technologies, and the poetry of drawing and making.
From the breadth and depth of our faculty and student work, to the variety of foreign study programs and scholarship opportunities, I invite you to explore our web site.
