Here's the great Sonic Dots - an easy-to-understand, and enjoy game that is perfect for kids and for all Pacman fans. The classic video game Pacman is given a cool twist by Sonic the Hedgehog. Your goal, on the Sonic Dots game, is to play by guiding him all around the maze to collect the dots. If done successfully, you'll gain entry to next level. You just move Sonic with Arrow Keys.
The Cursor would take Sonic to the desired direction. The Up Key moves him up, the Down Key takes him down, Left would direct him to the Left, and Right to the Right. Make sure all movements are precise so he won't get trapped by enemies in this maze. Ever played Pacman? Sure you did. In this game, that's exactly what you're going to do. You'll be Pacman and Sonic all at the same time.
How's that possible? Click on the start button and see why it's more than fun to do that than play Sonic Dots ordinarily. If you haven't seen Sonic in pure Pacman action, now's your chance. And what's even better is the fact that you're on the driver's seat. You've got to direct Sonic who looks and acts like Pacman in this game, by the way towards the dots on the game board.
Identical gaming concepts are applied. The board is one big maze. You have to be precise with your runs and turns so that you won't be cornered by the evil robots. If you succeed in eating up all the dots, then into the next level you will enter. The game is surely a simple one. The extreme popularity of the Pacman game years ago helps. Relieve the same gaming experience.
You're guaranteed to obtain an adrenalin rush from all the fun and the adventure that you are bound to get from the game. Anytime you need a Sonic game refresher, it's the most recommended. The enemies are the Dr. Eggman clones, you find four and you must stay clear of them. Getting in contact with them will cost you a life. You're given only 3 lives to play at the start of Sonic Dots game
However, if you eat a green emerald, he becomes big and strong for a few seconds. This is when you can gobble up the clones. They won't be able to destroy you. Every dot corresponds to a point. Eat all and go to the next gaming level. There is a fruit at the center of the Sonic Dots game screen and eating it'll increase your points. Every 10,000 points merits you an extra life.

New York:: Arno Press. 1981. hardcover. Series: The Development of Science, Sources for the History of. Science. 8vo. xii, 304; 183 pp. 2 volumes in 1. Beige/tan cloth. stamped in red. Fine.. Reprinting of two noted works about Virchow. Ackerknechts biography dates from 1953. Ackerknecht, born in Poland, came to the US due to WWII, became the first Chair in the history of medicine at the University of Wisconsin; the second such position in the United States. Julius Schwalbe (1863-1930) completed the Virchow-Bibliograpie , first printed in 1901, with contributions from five distinguished associate editors: Becher, Pagel, Strauch Weyl and Schwalbe. Lelland J. Rather described the work as monumental. The work is divided into two parts. The first lists in chronological order Virchows publications in pathology, parasitology, epidemiology, social medicine, public health and sanitation, medical history and philosophy, forensic medicine, military medicine, school hygiene, and medical therapy. Included also are a few publications of a more general character, such as those on Goethe as a natural scientist and on Darwinism and evolution. The second part lists Virchows publications in anthropology, ethnology, and archeology. Schwalbes two lists are almost definitive. Virchow survived for another eleven months after their completion, but his career came to a rather abrupt end on a rainy night in Berlin on January 4, 1902, when he slipped and fell after dismounting from a streetcar See: Lelland J. Rather, Commentary on the Medical Writings of Rudolf Virchow: Based on Schwalbes ... Norman Publishing, 1990, p. iv. ISBN: 0405138326 . 1, Arno Press, 1981, New York: Pella Publishing Company, 2002. New (Can be ordered on request to be delivered direct from publisher/distributor.) Modern Greek Research Series 11. This collection presents a broad and compelling overview of some of the most important work conducted in the field of Greek American Studies in the last 20 years. It aims at providing the interested reader with the necessary background from which to evaluate past and current developments in the Greek American community. Further, it is intended for use in study groups, colleges and universities. Any serious scholarly examination of ethnic groups, particularly the Greeks in the United States, will benefit from the works in this compilation. The volume is divided into three parts: History and Politics, Society and Culture, and Psychology. One of the unique features of this compilation is the balance provided by the inclusion of psychological studies. Thus, the historical, political and social investigations are fortified with the personal. Psychology takes up where social investigations leave off. Each part combines wide and in-depth analysis. Lastly, the chapters of this edited volume contain an implicit plea for an appreciation of the complexity, the agony and the dreams realized and deferred of the Greeks in the United States. As the popularity of the comic film My Big Fat Greek Wedding threatens to return the community to Dionysian stereotypes, the publication of this edited volume is a corrective step in the Apollonian direction. As the Greek communities make the transition to the 21st century, this book rewards readers with insightful and intimate studies that can provide an important context for further meaningful explorations.

By illuminating common trends, national peculiarities and differences, this collective book further enriches our knowledge about crucial issues concerning public perspectives over history education in diverse parts of the world. It opens new questions and issues to be further investigated by all who are interested in this field, in terms of its historical, educational, global, national, ethnic, cultural, social and political dimensions in the current transitional and multicultural environment. This international dialogue therefore addresses historians, history education researchers, university professors, school teachers, policy makers, publishers, parents and all those who insist that history education is very important, especially if it enables young people to orientate in the present and the future in historical terms.

Dimensions: 7.0in. x 7.0in. x 1.8in.Fascists, Brownshirts, jackbooted stormtrooperssuch are the insults typically hurled at conservatives by their liberal opponents. Calling someone a fascist is the fastest way to shut them up, defining their views as beyond the political pale. But who are the real fascists in our midst Liberal Fascism offers a startling new perspective on the theories and practices that define fascist politics. Replacing conveniently manufactured myths with surprising and enlightening research, Jonah Goldberg reminds us that the original fascists were really on the left and that liberals from Woodrow Wilson to Franklin Roosevelt to Hillary Clinton have advocated policies and principles remarkably similar to those of Hitlers National Socialism and Mussolinis Fascism. Contrary to what most people think, the Nazis were ardent socialists (hence the term National Socialism). They believed in free health care and guaranteed jobs. They confiscated inherited wealth and spent vast sums on public education. They purged the church from public policy, promoted a new form of pagan spirituality, and inserted the authority of the state into every nook and cranny of daily life. The Nazis declared war on smoking and supported abortion, euthanasia, and gun control. They loathed the free market, provided generous pensions for the elderly, and maintained a strict racial quota system in their universitieswhere campus speech codes were all the rage. The Nazis led the world in organic farming and alternative medicine. Hitler was a strict vegetarian, and Himmler was an animal rights activist. Do these striking parallels mean that todays liberals are genocidal maniacs, intent on conquering the world and imposing a new racial order Not at all. Yet it is hard to deny that modern progressivism and classical fascism shared the same intellectual roots. We often forget, for example, that Mussolini and Hitler had many admirers in the United States. W. E. B. Du Bois was inspired by Hitlers Germany, and Irving Berlin praised Mussolini in song. Many fascist tenets were espoused by American progressives like John Dewey and Woodrow Wilson, and FDR incorporated fascist policies in the New Deal. Fascism was an international movement that appeared in different forms in different countries, depending on the vagaries of national culture and temperament. In Germany, fascism appeared as genocidal racist nationalism. In America, it took a friendlier, more liberal form. The modern heirs of this friendly fascist tradition include the New York Times, the Democratic Party, the Ivy League professoriate, and the liberals of Hollywood. The quintessential Liberal Fascist isnt an SS storm trooper; it is a female grade-school teacher with an education degree from Brown or Swarthmore. These assertions may sound strange to modern ears, but that is because we have forgotten what fascism is. In this angry, funny, smart, contentious book, Jonah Goldberg turns our preconceptions inside out and shows us the true meaning of Liberal Fascism. This item ships from multiple locations.

For the past three years he has served as Clerk of the Board and has done effective service in the interest of education. On the 24th of November, 1886, was celebrated the marriage of Mr. Leahy and Miss Elizabeth A. Foster, who resided in Ozaukee County, just across the line from Random Lake.

The Word of the Lord came to me in late November of 2014.
He simply said, "The Word of the Lord for 2015 is Psalm 127:1".
Psalm 127:1 "Unless the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who build it; Unless the Lord guards the city, The watchman keeps awake in vain."
He then paused for a moment and said, "Tell her, (The Church), She had better get used to it, this is the way it is going to be".
Lastly, He brought me before the image of the cross standing in the midst of the devastation of the World Trade Center after the events of 9/11/2001.

Senators roll out new Russia sanctions after election meddling
Senators are rolling out new sanctions against Russia as lawmakers debate how to respond to its meddling in the U.S. presidential election.
The bipartisan legislation spearheaded by Sens. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Ben Cardin (D-Md.) was introduced Tuesday and comes in response to cyberattacks as well as ongoing conflicts in Syria and Ukraine.
"We have been attacked. We have been attacked by Russia," Cardin told reporters at a press conference. "That is no longer subject to debate."
In addition to Cardin and McCain, GOP Sens. Lindsey Graham (S.C.), Rob Portman (Ohio), Marco Rubio (Fla.), and Ben Sasse (Neb.), as well as Democratic Sens. Bob Menendez (N.J.), Amy Klobuchar (Minn.), Dick Durbin (Ill.) and Jeanne Shaheen (N.H.) are supporting the bill.
Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.), the Senate's top Democrat, also announced separately on Tuesday that he will support the legislation, urging the Senate to take it up "promptly."
The legislation would include new sanctions for transactions with Russia's two main intelligence agencies and individuals tied to cyberattacks attacks, including freezing any assets within the United States and banning their visas.
It also includes sanctions targeting large investments in Russia's energy sector and the development of Russian energy pipelines, and pass into law recent sanctions that President Obama issued by executive order.
The legislation comes as multiple congressional committees are probing allegations that Russia meddled in the U.S. election with the aim of helping President-Elect Donald Trump or are probing the Obama administration's response to the allegations.
McCain told reporters that while senators may not know what position the Trump administration may take, he urged his colleagues to put "partisanship aside" to pass new sanctions legislation.
"We have to demonstrate the costs of attacking the United States outweigh the perceived benefits," he said. "We have to respond to Vladimir Putin's behavior."
Democrats, and some Republicans, have raised concerns about Trump's warmer tone with Russia.
Senators are expected to try to pin down ExxonMobil CEO Rex Tillerson, Trump's secretary of State nominee, during a hearing Wednesday about his relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Graham quipped that he "would like to thank President Putin for bringing us all together. That's hard to do around here."
The senators didn't indicate when the legislation could come up for a vote in the Senate, but said that there was a "strong interest" in passing new sanctions.
Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.), the Foreign Relations Committee chairman, is not currently signed on to the bill but said he would sit down with lawmakers again this week to discuss next steps on Russia.
The legislation also includes anti-corruption provisions aimed at bolstering governments in Eastern Europe and requires that the Treasury Department's Financial Crimes and Enforcement Network to establish a Russia unit.
The incoming Trump administration has questioned the need for more Russia sanctions.
Kellyanne Conway, a top Trump advisor, opened the door to Trump reconsidering the recent sanctions from the Obama administration.
"There does seem to be a disproportionate response, a punitive response," she told USA Today on Monday of the Obama administration's recent sanctions. "I predict that President Trump will want to make sure our sanctions are proportionate."
The Senate legislation would include a national security waiver, which would allow the president to lift the sanctions. Cardin said lawmakers were including "tough" guidelines that Trump would have to meet to waive the financial penalties.

Podany exits ShopKo; Girard takes the reins as interim ceo
April 9, 2002,
Green Bay, WI — ShopKo Stores Inc. announced this morning that Bill Podany has resigned as president, ceo and director, for personal reasons. Stepping in as interim ceo is board member Jeffrey Girard, who also has accepted the permanent position of vice chairman, finance and administration. Chairman Jack Eugster said the board will launch the search for a new chief executive as soon as possible.
"Over the last seven-and-a-half years Bill Podany has provided solid merchandising leadership to the ShopKo organization. We are grateful for his many contributions and wish him well in his new pursuits," said Eugster.
Girard has been a director of the company since October 1991 and was senior vp, executive vp and cfo at Minneapolis-based Supervalu Inc., a grocery retailer and food distributor, from 1990 to 1997. From 1973 to 1990, Girard held several management positions at New Jersey-based Supermarkets General Corp., an operator of supermarkets, freestanding drug stores, department and junior department stores and do-it-yourself home centers.
Podany became ShopKo's fourth president and ceo in January 1999 after five years overseeing the company's merchandising, marketing, logistics and store planning. He was responsible for helping to craft and implement ShopKo's Vision 2000 repositioning strategy.
Once at the helm of ShopKo, Podany moved quickly to take advantage of the booming retail environment, creating a merchandising plan called Beyond 2000, acquiring the Pamida chain and inaugurating a store opening campaign that took the ShopKo chain from 317 stores to 366 stores in 23 states.

In the middle of a tense round of Deal Or No Deal, he chose a box to be opened - and discovered that it was empty. It should have contained £250,000, which would have ended his chances of winning the jackpot.
Instead, the remaining boxes were reshuffled and the game continued.
Instead of his chances being wrecked, Reverend Schofield got another chance and was able to continue the game.
And he is delighted because his Guardian Angel helped him scoop £12,500 for his five charities.
Scroll down for more
It was the first such blunder on the Channel 4 game show, where contestants reject numbered boxes in the hope of being left with the one containing £250,000. However, they stand as much chance of ending up with just a penny to take home.
Mr Schofield, of Bromley Cross in Bolton, said: "I was only six or seven boxes into my game when I asked for box number two to be opened, and lo and behold, there was nothing there.
"It transpired that it ought to have been the £250,000 box and the independent adjudicator had simply missed sticking the sum inside.
"Taking the big sum out so early in the game would have changed things completely. It seemed miraculous."
While producers switched the boxes around, Mr Schofield and his wife Lilian led the audience in an impromptu hymn-singing session.
Now the 67-year-old, who is vicar at St Luke's Church in Dukinfield, Greater Manchester, believes his "guardian angel" was watching over him.
He has recently fought cancer and also survived a fall off a mountain while on holiday in Australia. He said: "It was quite strange because at various times in my life I've been in peril and I've always maintained I've got a guardian angel watching over me.
"So when this all happened on the show, people started to say it was my guardian angel looking over me again."
He refused to reveal how much he won on the programme, but said: "I did do very, very nicely. I didn't have any sum in mind when I went on the show."
He added: "I've always maintained there's no gambling involved in Deal Or No Deal, because whatever you come away with is bound to be more than you went with, whether it be 1p or £250,000 - that's how I justified myself being on there.
"I went on the show because I thought, 'What an easy way to get some money for my favourite five charities, for the church and a little bit for myself to repair my caravan'."
The grandfather of five also revealed that he wanted to go on the show to meet presented Noel Edmonds.
He said: "I've been a huge fan of his every since he was a radio DJ and I thought it was a great pity when he was off TV for a while. I had a wonderful time on the show and I'd advise everybody to give it a go."

The Rukun's Juice was the only known antidote against the deadliest of the Scorpion poisons, the Fuantei Shi. [1] It was named after the Kitsuki who discovered it, Kitsuki Rukun. Small doses of Rukun's Juice must be given to the victim immediately after ingestion of the poison. Once symptoms appeared, the antitoxin was less effective, but had still been known to save lives. Kitsuki have also learned to keep the victim alone and to extinguish all but necessary light, to prevent aggravating the spasms. [2]

Nationals right fielder Jayson Werth could spend roughly two more weeks on the disabled list after an MRI exam today revealed a more significant strain in his hamstring than originally thought, Manager Davey Johnson said.
"I got kind of an alarming report from our doctor that said he was going to be a while longer," Johnson said. "I think he was rushing it. He started to realize that hamstrings take a little more time. Something happened to him like it happened to Wilson Ramos. So we'll take a step back on him."
Werth last played May 2 and tonight will miss his 16th game with a right hamstring strain. Werth, who was hitting .260 with a .308 on-base percentage and a .400 slugging percentage before the injury, visited a specialist in New York last week after he played in a rehab assignment Wednesday at Class A Potomac.
"When I played in Potomac last week I felt my hammy grab on my first [at-bat] when I left the box on the groundout," Werth said in an e-mail. "Didn't think it was too bad, so I stayed in the game. As [the] game went on it was apparent I wasn't ready, so I exited game early.
"The next day I went to NYC to see my personal [doctor and] trainer for treatment. It was apparent to all more time was needed to heal. MRI confirmed today what I already knew."
Without Werth, the Nationals have relied on a combination of Tyler Moore, Roger Bernadina and Steve Lombardozzi in the corner outfield spots. The trio has also filled in for Bryce Harper, who is returning tonight after he missed two games with swelling in his left knee, an effect of running into the Dodger Stadium wall a week ago tonight.
Originally, the Nationals and Werth expected he would miss only a few games – they did not place him on the disabled list until he had sat for nearly a week. Werth was also dealing with a bruised ankle and a stomach flu at the time, which Johnson said may have obscured the severity of his hamstring injury.
"There was that mix-up – was it caused by dehydration, or did he really hurt something?" Johnson said. "We never could figure that out. But obviously, he does have a strain in hamstring. It's going to take some time."
Werth, who turned 34 today, is in the third season of a seven-year, $126 million contract. Last year, he missed 75 games after he broke his left wrist attempting to make a sliding catch and played in 81 games all season. Werth could miss roughly 30 games before he makes his return from his current hamstring injury.

Both sides seem more comfortable in defence than in attack and our expert is therefore bracing himself for an uninspiring affair when they face off at the Aviva Stadium
Giovanni Trapattoni's men are still firmly in the mix for a play-off spot in qualification for Brazil 2014 and are favourites at 1/2 (1.50) with Paddy Power to prepare for Friday's clash with the Faroe Islands with a win on Sunday.
Their opponents, meanwhile, have gone five games without tasting victory and are available at 11/2 (6.50) to pick up just their fourth away win in 27 games.
There have been no draws in the previous four encounters between these sides, but you can get odds of 14/5 (3.80) on them sharing the spoils this time out.
Trapattoni has drawn plenty of criticism from all corners for his pragmatic style of play, and there is no doubt that the veteran Italian coach prioritises tactical solidarity over individual flair.
Unfortunately, this approach can often lead to some rather uninspiring matches, and this seems like the most likely result when the hosts come face-to-face with Temuri Ketsbaia's well drilled outfit.
The Crusaders have scored just nine goals in their last 16 fixtures, and this lack of cutting edge means that they are sure to come to the Emerald Isle with a defensive game plan., making a high-scoring match look decidedly unlikely.
A bet on under 2.5 goals would have paid out both in four of Ireland's last five and five of the visitors' last six matches, and looks particularly safe when the two conservative teams clash, at odds of 8/11 (1.73).
The visitors' main attacking threat is undoubtedly posed by Alexander Kobakhidze, the Dnipro winger whose eye for goal has seen him score three of his side's last 10 strikes.
Considering his pedigree, the 26-year-old offers exceptional value at 5/1 (6.00) to hit the back of the net against the Boys in Green.

"Ida," an intimate drama set in 1960s, Soviet Union-era Poland, is starkly, beautifully written, filmed and acted. Shot in black-and-white with stationary cameras that let characters walk in and out of the frame, "Ida" looks like cinema from another time.
The movie's haunting tone, perfectly tuned performances and its filmmakers' courage in telling a tragic story without blinking more than qualify it for masterpiece designation. "Ida" is showing at Chalmette Movies.
Writer-director Pawel Pawlikowski, a U.K.-based native of Poland who made documentaries before turning to features, returned to his post-Soviet homeland to make "Ida." Pawlikowski tells the story through illuminating images and sparse dialogue that need few English subtitles.
The movie's gray palette, banal locations and dispirited characters suggest that life in Communist Poland was grim. "Ida's" style and atmosphere also parallels the realist cinema of post-World War II Europe.
"Ida" largely is the story of two women in 1962. The Ida of the film's title first appears on screen as Anna, a young woman training to be a Catholic nun. Raised by nuns in an orphanage, Anna knows nothing of the outside world or her biological family.
Prior to taking her vows, the convent's mother superior tells Anna that she must visit her only living relative, an aunt named Wanda. Anna expresses her reluctance to leave the convent but, obedient novitiate that she is, she does as she's told.
Innocent Anna meets the worldly Wanda, a former judge in Communist Poland. In Wanda's apartment kitchen, the two of them have a starkly direct conversation.
"Why didn't you come take me from the orphanage?" Anna asks.
"I didn't want to," Wanda answers. "You wouldn't have been happy with me." And then Wanda drops a post-war bombshell. "Your real name is Ida Lebenstein."
What follows is part road trip, part mystery and much character study. The hardened Communist Party veteran and sheltered nun-to-be, dressed in her novitiate habit, take a dark journey of discovery into the Polish countryside.
Director Pawlikowski, co-writer of the film with Rebecca Lenkiewicz, and directors of photography Lukasz Zal and Ryszard Lenczewski document Anna and Wanda's time together with detached yet carefully framed lenses. They are dispassionate observers who neither judge nor intervene.
Remarkably, Agata Trzebuchowska, who plays Anna, aka Ida, is a first-time actress. One of Pawlikowski's director friends in Poland discovered her in a Warsaw café. Trzebuchowska occupies the role completely, with quiet grace and enormous sense of self. She does most of her acting without words. It's an award-worthy portrait of an unforgettable character.
Agata Kulesza, a Warsaw-based veteran of Polish film, television and theater, co-stars as Wanda. Kulesza is another casting coup. As different as Wanda — a vaguely bitter woman who drinks, smokes and is sexually promiscuous — and Anna are, they're still family and they can find common ground.
Lasting just 80 minutes, "Ida" is for the most part mesmerizing. The first hour of those 80 minutes, approximately, really is a masterpiece.

Daffodils are some of the most reliable spring bulbs, coping well with wet ground and competition from grass. Many species also flower through frost, and with such a huge range of daffodils available, it's often hard to know which varieties to plant.
There are hundreds of daffodil varieties to choose from, but when it comes to looking through the bulb catalogues, what matters is flowering time. Some daffodils flower months ahead of others so, by combining early and late varieties, you can have daffodils in bloom from January to May.
The following daffodil cultivars have been selected for their spectacular spring blooms as well as their complementary flowering times.
Narcissus 'Jetfire' is a bold March-April flowering variety has clear golden petals with a contrasting orange trumpet. It grows to 35cm so is perfect for growing in the border for a splash of bright colour.
'Rijnveld's Early Sensation'
If planted in a sheltered, south-facing spot, Narcissus 'Rijnveld's Early Sensation' will be in flower by Christmas. While most daffodils in bloom at this time of year are usually small, this variety has large, windmill-style flowers and reaches 35cm in height.
Clusters of cup-and-saucer flowers top the pencil-length stems of Narcissus 'Minnow' in March and April. It's a great little daffodil for growing in pots or the front of a border. It has a very sweet fragrance and clumps up rapidly. Prefers full sun.
'February Gold'
Named 'Spring bulb of the year 2011', Narcissus 'February Gold' has perfectly proportioned little flowers, with swept-back golden petals. It grows up to 30cm tall and its blooms last for weeks during March and April. Perfect for growing in pots or at the front of a border.
The traditional yellow trumpet blooms of long-flowering 'Spellbinder' gradually fade to white. It's a tall variety - 50cm - suited to the back of a border. Flowers in March and April.
'Dutch Master'
If you want a classic daff with bright, golden trumpets and a delicate scent, then Narcissus 'Dutch Master' is for you. It's perfect for Easter vases, growing 45cm tall and flowering in April. Plant in drifts to break up an expanse of lawn, or at the base of a hedge.
Double-flowered daffodils aren't everyone's cup of tea, but Narcissus 'Cheerfulness' is lovely. It has a deep, rich yellow colour and a sweet scent to match. Flowering in April, it reaches 40cm in height, so is ideal for the middle of a border.
Narcissus poeticus var. recurvus (pheasant's eye)
Narcissus poeticus var. recurvus is a beautiful little daffodil with a sweet, citrusy scent. At 40cm, it's tall enough to naturalise in lawns. It's a late-flowering daffodil, appearing in mid-late April.
Narcissus 'Hawera' is a small daffodil that only grows to 18cm, it packs a punch with a strong, musky scent in late-April to May. Pale yellow flowers emerge from grassy stems and leaves, and its petals curve back, giving it a shuttlecock look. Ideal for containers.
'Jack Snipe'
'Jack Snipe' is a pretty white-and-yellow daffodil, with fragrant blooms. It flowers from April and grows to 25cm. Grow in large clumps at the front of borders or naturalised in your lawn.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 220.127.116.11
Forum Moderators: incrediBILL & martinibuster
I have read the reasoning behind what they do here and I'm ok with that, however, my god, can't they be a bit more intellegent about it?
Where in the world is "computer crash" a bad phrase or word? Now, I can see it for airplane crash or something of that sort but can't they train the little bot to do a bit better of selecting what's really bad?
Now, I guess I'll have to wait for a week or three before they crawl it again to get back to making money... this really sucks!
Where did you read about this. I have never heard of words that trigger PSA's
I've not just read about it, I've actually corresponded with google about it. There are actually several threads here on this site that talk about it..
Apparantly, the rules are in place to keep from having say... an article with the headline something like..
"Baby burns in fire"
trigger an ad (as I've heard actually happened and started all this) for a CD burner with the title "burn baby burn" showing on the same page...
*THAT* I can understand... completely banning use of words, such as "crash" is just plain stupid and limiting... They need to train thier bots to look at word combinations, not just single use of words..
My site and the pages I am referring to are about sex crimes. My site has been online since 1998, on AdSense since June. As a result of testing I've done I have confirmed that there are still advertisers which are advertising on content sites through AdSense because I can get them to display on new pages until after the Mediapartners bot visits. Unfortunately, as of yet I have been unable to modify the text of any test pages to get paying ads to show up and stay after Mediapartners visits. The kicker seems to be that the trigger words are needed to make a contextual match for the desired (or any actually) advertisements, but including them triggers PSA/AAs. Even if I could remove these words and AdSense would display ads, search engine positioning would drop like a rock since 98% of search engine referrals contain one of the trigger words.
I contacted the AdSense team in March and I got a human response (yes, it's true) that basically said that they reviewed the site and info. I provided, their system determined the pages contain "potentially sensitive" or "negative" content, their algorithms change constantly and they're sorry, but they can't manually alter the page category to allow targeted ads to be served. That's too bad for me, it's too bad for the advertisers whose services are an excellent fit to the bulk of the pages and Google which is losing out on their cut.
Often the trigger seems to be a seemingly innocuous phrase such as "computer crash", or "killing germs", so sometimes I've had to read pages over and over thinking of all the possibly meanings for the words.
I am serving PSA's on my most popular pages that do not have any potential bad words.
Never had a problem; never ever saw any PSA's until 3 or 4 days ago.
There may have been an algorithm change that makes the bot supersensitive to stop words, but then, why are so many sites serving 90% PSA's?
Plus why would **** or **** organizations want to advertise on sites with dirty words?
I don't think that all these zillions of sites are using stop words.
I think there is a algorithm glitch or a hardware or software glitch. Probably an algorithm glitch because that is the most recently changed variable. When you see hoof prints, look for horses first before you look for zebras.
Here's what is different:
-The PSA's have a different format.
- For the 1st time, google is counting PSA's as page views. (which makes ctr's hover at .0X% rather than x%; (works out to be about 1/50th to 1/100th of what they were).
-click stats are more real-time as opposed to 3 or 4 updates per day.
- Total payouts are a teeny tiny payout of historical trend.
Here's what is the same:
-CPC are the same.
-content has remained stable.
-traffic is the same or higher
[edited by: Brett_Tabke at 5:00 pm (utc) on April 26, 2004]
[edit reason] please no specific sectors, keywords, or sites ;-) [/edit]
Also, contrary to what you stated, PSA impressions have *always* counted as impressions in the AdSense reports.
It would seem to me that they could "train" the bots to leave crash alone, unless it was with other keywords, like "automobile crash" "airplane crash" etc....
It is a perfectly harmless word, however, they are taking it and others, completely out of context and banning them without exception.. Makes it sort of hard running a message board with "latest message board topics" on website template pages.. lose a thread, ok... no problem, lose almost all the pages on the site.. BIG problem..
I'm not complaining, really, because the revenue is good overall... it's just a little thing that seems like it would not be that hard to fix.. at least, now, when you remove an offending word, it seems you get recrawled pretty quickly, not a matter of days or weeks like it once was, more like minutes or hours..

To liven up long workdays, practitioners in business and finance have always coined their own slang. Some of it is irritating and trite, but some is invigorating and shows that English is a living, evolving language. So I've gathered a selection of some of the more imaginative and bizarre words and phrases capitalists use.
The Jennifer syndrome: the tendency for rich men to show off to their second and/or trophy wives by doing silly things they think are manly, such as buying motorbikes, corporate jets, getting into rows in restaurants and suchlike.
Meeting Moth: an executive who flits from meeting to meeting but actually does nothing useful.
Killer Bees: investment bankers who help defend target companies from hostile takeovers, using all sorts of clever tactics such as making inappropriate acquisitions as a poison pill.
Melpew: the language of the fast-food industry — a contraction of the phrase "May I help you?"
Blamestorming: similar to brainstorming but designed specifically to pick a scapegoat for any problems.
Alligator Property: a piece of real estate which makes a net loss on all the outgoings — mortgage repayments, repairs, and rates — and so gradually eats up any equity. Likely to be common among buy-to-let situations if residential values fall.
Empty Suit: a yes-man who fancies himself as a leader. He has little talent and no opinions, but crawls to superiors well and plays office politics with great skill.
Director of First Impressions: the receptionist.
Ankle Biter: small public company that is coming from behind, employing the Avis strategy "We Try Harder" against its larger rivals.
Percussive Maintenance: the tactic of hitting a machine to make it work — particularly a car or a computer.
Ubiquity factor: the tendency for certain people to succeed simply by always showing up. They will always attend that crucial meeting you had to miss.
Elephant Man Strategy: a scheme simply too scary to back, even if it sounds incredibly exciting. The Channel Tunnel is an example.
All Flash, No Cash: the financial equivalent of "all talk, no trousers".
Beverage leadership: the person who gets the coffee at the office.
Greenwash: a company that touts its environmental credentials to deflect attention from other, less attractive aspects of its operations.
Accounting Noise: a mess of confusing financial statements, created by a combination of excessive rules and occasionally management manipulation. It is necessary to cut through the noise to really understand the underlying performance of a business.
Moonshine Shop: the research and development department.
Mad Hatter: an irresponsible chief executive, styled after the tea party character in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland who asked riddles that had no answers.
Administrivia: the bureaucratic sludge that buries anyone who works in most large organisations, especially those in the public sector.
Pitt Principle: the deliberate hiring of an incompetent in a regulatory role. Practised by various investment groups with their compliance officers.
Kitchen sinking: policy adopted by incoming chief executives to troubled companies, whereby they deliberately overstate losses in order to make any recovery they engineer look all the better.
Mexican Standoff: a legal device to ensure joint venture partners cannot rip each other off. Both parties are required to make a best offer for the other's share and the higher bidder wins.
Bloatation: the process of hiring lots of useless senior staff immediately prior to going bust.
Safety droids: tedious Health & Safety managers who go around highlighting the tiniest risks.
Bobbleheading: mass nodding by staff in a meeting at a remark by the boss that no-one understands.
- Luke Johnson is chairman of Channel 4 and Risk Capital Partners

Abstract Vessel No 1
$74.00 Sold out
This vessel has been thrown by me on the wheel from a textured earthenware clay. After bisque firing it has been hand painted with an original design in several layers and then fired for a second time. Finally it has been glazed on the exterior, and fired again, leaving the interior with a soft, tactile unglazed surface. This is a process that takes several weeks from start to finish. Each one of the vessels from this range is completely unique in shape and design - no two are alike.
The unglazed surfaces are sealed with a water-based sealer, making the vessel waterproof.

This alternate history takes place in 1920 where England, Poland and Germany go to war against Russia.
Seeing communist Russia as a threat to newly independent Poland and asked Germany to help attack Russia in return for protection from the French and said that it would count as their reparations.
The Plan
General Montgomery and General Rommel gathered together. Montgomery pointed to the map and said "A line of machine gun trenches and artillery around Poland will meet the German line which will then meet up with the French line, making a Russian attack impossible."
"That's defense sorted but we don't declare war just to sit in our defenses all day! Believe me, I know!" Rommel replied.
Montgomery added "I don't know about you, but England will attack Azerbajan from our Middle-Eastern possessions and capture Sevastapol from there, cutting off Russia's supplies. Poland will launch an attack on Estonia and then capture Leningrad."
Rommel pondered for a moment and then decided "We shall surround moscow with a lighting fast attack where our combined forces will seize the city."
English Campaign - Baku
The English reached Baku the following day and began heavy bombardment. English Infantry charged into the city, not knowing that the rubble provided perfect hiding places for the defenders. The 8th Australian division entered a narrow street and was surrounded by the Soviet defenders. It was then when the Australian's had the upper hand, they used the rubble as shelter and defeated wave after wave of soviets only taking small losses until, the Australians ran out of ammunition. The Australian division fitted bayonets to their rifles and attempted to break out, it was then that hand to hand combat started with the Australians being pushed back to the centre until a well-timed but badly placed shell blew up the Russian and Australian division.
The English decided that an infantry attack would be suicide and started intense bombardment from the heaviest artillery the English had until, after a month more bombardment, the Soviets tried to break out of the encirclement and were cut down by the machine guns, ending the Battle of Baku.
Polish Campaign - Estonia Offensive
The Polish heavy guns started preparation fire on the Estonian capital and attacked with their infantry. The 1st Polish Infantry battalion marched into the cities and defeated many Estonian defenders. The Poles were surprised when the amount of Estonian defenders decreased and the Russian defenders increased. A Polish reconnaissance plane detected a supply line keeping Estonia alive.
To counter this, the 9th Polish Cavalry division was sent to intercept it. The hapless Russians who marched to Estonia believing their path to be unknown were easy pickings for the Cavalry. The Cavalry smashed into the Russian ranks and dispersed and chased off some of the army until they were forced to withdraw to the rear of enemy lines and attack the unguarded food supplies.
This had a dramatic affect on the Battle of Estonia which allowed the Polish to capture the city with little resistance. The returning Cavalry warned of an approaching Russian counter-attack and pledged to do their best to slow them down.
English Campaign - Sevastapol
The English navy blockaded Sevastapol and began a shore bombardment which was followed up by an Artillery bombardment. The bombardment from both land and sea was directed upon the great fortress of Sevastapol. The English received heavy counter-battery from the Russians but it did minor damage. As the fortress began to crumble, the Russian counter attack broke out of the English lines and destroyed the English artillery. The English were now trapped.
Thanks to English naval dominance, their convoys was allowed to bring supplies in and keep the battle going while the English tried to break out.
Every street of Sevastapol either had a pillbox or a trench dug into and due to the fact that England was trapped in a city that they haven't yet captured, the battle was a confusing and costly one. The Canadian 2nd Infantry division withdrew to a house where they found a group of Soviets. They simultaneously surrendered to each other.
Polish Campaign - Estonia Defensive
The Polish soldiers in Estonia had dug in for the defensive and were relatively well prepared, despite having no machine guns and only a few heavy guns. The Polish Cavalry started hit-and-run raids against the Russian Infantry and forced them to retreat to their trenches. The Cavalry chased them... into a trap. The Polish Cavalry was attacked by the Russian artillery. A Cavalry man swiveled away from the Artillery shells but his horse tripped over and lodged him into a Russian trench. The Russians pointed Rifles to his head and he said "SURPRISE" and let off a grenade.
The Russians arrived at Estonia and found the Polish had deep trenches, barbed wire, land mines and sandbags prepared to fight anything the Russians threw at them. The Russian's plan was to charge head-first and use their shear built of numbers to clear out the trenches. The Russian's exposed and remove the mines by stepping on them and detonating them. The Polish artillery and rifles forced the Russian attack to retreat.
The Russians dug trenches around Estonia and prepared to starve the Polish into submission but it was then that they realised, that was only part of the Polish army.
English Campaign - Bombing of Sevastapol
Unable to break through the Russian lines, the English ordered an evacuation of Sevastapol and to move up on to the city of Stalingrad. But they decided that they must carry out scorched earth and destroy the entire city. Most of the troops were evacuated and a long bombarding process took place. This time, it wasn't just Battleships and Destroyers, there was something new - the world's first bomber and the world's first aircraft carrier. It flew many sorties on the city and converted it into rubble leaving the Russians in fear of its mighty power.
Some Russians fired Artillery guns at the bomber squadrons and did some damage but lost most of their artillery.
German Campaign - Surrounding Moscow
The German army was ordered to strike. They advanced straight towards Moscow and dug a trench around the big city, trapping them in Moscow. They heavily bombarded the city hoping for it to surrender to no avail. They knew that an attack on Moscow would be suicidal by themselves, especially since they were denied heavy weaponry.
The Russians decided to break out of the encirclement and charged. They were cut down by machine guns and their fortifications weakened by artilley. The Russians kept smashing on the German lines like a wave hitting a rock - destroying themselves but will eventually succeed.
Polish Campaign - Leningrad
The Polish bombarded Leningrad and led many unsuccessful assaults trying to break through the Bolshevic defenses. The Polish captured house after house and pushed towards the government centre. The Polish Cavalry charged through the streets cutting down Russian infantry with their sabres until men jumped out with pikes and routed the Cavalry, massacring them.
The Polish needed re-enforcements and that came when Finland attacked Leningrad, hoping to gain some territory before the Polish. They attacked their eastern-border with Russia. The Fins marched from the North and the Poles from the South, squashing the Russians in between.
It was the following day that the Russians hoisted the white flag, which was replaced by the Polish flag - the first major victory of the war.
Montgomery and Rommel talk
"We are approaching victory!" Said Montgomery.
"Germany hasn't captured Berlin yet and you were kicked out of Sevastapol" Rommel replied.
"England has also captured Kiev and we are getting closer to your encirclement of Berlin. Then we wait for the Poles and attack. You can't do it yourself!" Montgomery elaborated "The Kremlin is a strong fortification that will help to stop us and the Russian winter is coming soon, we need all the help we can get."
"Finland..." Rommel said "Finland has good ski troops, they know how to fight in winter weather and will help to end the battle."
Battle of Moscow
The Germans, Poles, English and Finns started a heavy bombardment and bombing of Moscow, reducing it to near rubble before striking. First, the Polish cavalry charged and sliced some Russians down before finding out that the Russians had machine guns and sandbag emplacements and all streets were fortified. This resulted in heavy losses to the Polish.
When the snow came, the cavalry was forced to withdraw and the combined forces of England and Germany attacked. The 1st German Infantry division went down the street and saw the machine gun emplacements and opened fire, killing some of the operators and capturing it. Following that, they went on the defensive with some on machine guns and others with rifles. The Russians tried to recapture the position because German occupation meant that re-enforcements could arrive and they had access into the city.
The English captured many houses and killed the Russian soldiers only. It was then that the winter kicked in and stopped the advance. The Finns captured another machine gun emplacement and used it to stop another counterattack.
After a few days, the snow cleared and the Polish, Germans and English advanced on the Kremlin while the Finns battled for control of the machine guns. The Germans were repelled by a quick counterattack but eventually forced them back. The Polish were stuck in stalemate while the English advanced the staircase of the Kremlin.
Eventually, the English discovered Stalin and demanded "Montgomery and Rommel want to discuss the peace terms with you.
Peace terms
The demands were clear, Russia cedes Sevastapol to England, all captured parts remain under allied control. In addition, Joseph Stalin would be replaced by a democratically elected leader and a new tsar (England insisted). The conditions were hard to swallow but they had to take it otherwise the whole of Russia would fall.

Ballpark Digest Honors Fireflies with 2016 Best New Logo and Branding Award
Fireflies Logo, Colors and Name the Most Creative in Minor League Baseball
By Kevin Fitzgerald | October 24, 2016 3:01 PM ET
COLUMBIA, SC - The list of awards continues to grow for the Columbia Fireflies in its inaugural year as a franchise. Ballpark Digest honored the Fireflies with its 2016 Best New Logo and Branding Award on Monday. Columbia's design was selected as the most creative among all other Minor League Baseball teams that featured new or altered logos and color schemes in 2016.
"At a time when outrageous team names and logos are part of the pro baseball experience, it's refreshing to see a name like the Columbia Fireflies be a success and stand out in the crowd," said Ballpark Digest publisher Kevin Reichard. "That team name is carried out brilliantly in Spirit Communications Park, adding a subtle bit of nostalgia to the fan experience."
In October of 2014, Minor League Baseball granted the necessary approvals for Hardball Capital to bring professional baseball back to Columbia, South Carolina. The following August, the Fireflies name and sky blue, gray, neon yellow and neon green color scheme was selected to represent the new team.
"Our goal in selecting a name for Columbia's team was that it be local, unique and fun," said Fireflies Team President John Katz. "We researched ourselves, worked with our brand team from sky design and solicited input from the community. The process from start to finish took almost a year. We fell in love with the concept of the Fireflies brand and the great colors. Our team from sky design captured the glowing nature of our iconic firefly with a combination of subtle hues, neon and even glow-in-the-dark components. The product is something that we are all extremely proud of."
Ballpark Digest praised the Fireflies logo and design for its balance of "innovation and community connection." The primary Fireflies logo includes a crescent moon and palmetto tree that's featured on the South Carolina state flag. The secondary logo joins the letters "C" and "F" to create a flame - an homage to the city's "Famously Hot" slogan.
"We had a lot of ideas for the branding in Columbia that we were excited about," said sky design Vice President/Principal Todd Vaught. "As the Fireflies idea gained traction, we really started to fall in love with how the brand connected with the 'famously hot' city, unique color scheme, the glow in the dark elements and the whole idea of connecting the rebirth of professional baseball in Columbia with the bygone days of capturing fireflies in a jar on a warm summer night."
This isn't the first time the franchise has been honored in 2016. In July, Ballpark Digest named Spirit Communications Park its 2016 Ballpark of the Year. A month later, the South Atlantic League awarded the Fireflies, the city of Columbia and the park the 2017 All-Star Game. Additionally, the Fireflies' Purple Game, Purple Game night on June 9 - a tribute to the legendary Grammy-award winning "Prince" Rogers Nelson - is in the running for the Promotion of the Year MiLBY Award.
"The response to the Fireflies brand has been extremely positive and the popularity of our logos has resulted in orders for hats and apparel from across the U.S.," said Katz. "It's wonderful to see Spirit Communications Park blanketed in our gear, but it's even more exciting to see folks wearing Fireflies hats and shirts away from the ballpark. There's a huge sense of pride in our community for this team, and we even have fans posting pictures of themselves representing the Columbia Fireflies in different cities, states and even countries."
2017 season tickets are on sale, and can be purchased by visiting FirefliesTickets.com or calling the Fireflies Box Office at (803) 776-4487.

New push to confront Israel hate
A leading Anglo-Israeli educational organisation is preparing new strategies to confront campaigns aimed at increasing ill-will towards Israel.
John Levy, director of the Friends of Israel Educational Foundation (FoI), said that he anticipated "a very difficult year ahead for us all. We now confront intense new campaigns against Israel which are beginning to corrode 'goodwill' towards the state."
He said FoI would focus on four main areas: secondary schools in the 16-19 age group; university academics; the Church and creative arts.
FoI has started the new academic year with more than 100 bookings to speak to sixth formers across England and Wales. In November, its team will be joined by four members of the Israeli national debating team.
For academics, FoI has organised a number of workshops in subjects from gene therapy to organic farming and food security at Israel's leading universities, and has another six organised for next year, covering subjects as diverse as child anxiety and the ethics of war.
Mr Levy said: "We are determined to raise Israel's profile - intelligently, honourably, highlighting the country's huge talents - while reflecting thoughtfully on its existential problems."

Grandson of Millard & Cecil(FARRELL) STANCIL
Expand Messages
- Hi My name is James Simmons Stancil I am the grandson of Millard &
Cecil(FARRELL)STANCIL. This is part of the info I have been abel to
gather up. Some of you will recognize your research(thank you
temendeously) but some info here is from up to 9 years ago.
and I got to your group to research the RABUN GAP, GA Stancils
particularly My Grandfather Millard Stancil who was listed with his
father, mother and brothers and sisters. My dad(Robert Allen
STANCIL, sr) verified this by recognising the names. this is where I
am starting from.
My Grandmother was Cecil FARRELL from Rolla or Cape Girardeau, MO.
On my mothers Side Her Father was Henson "Dixie" TROVILLION from
Massac County Il we have a lot of info because someone put together a
very well researched book back in the 70s where we go back to
England with 3 different spelling of the name.
My grandmother here is Lucia SIMMONS, also from Metropolis, Il
but lived in Morehouse, MO her father was James SIMMONS and was
married to Mom SIMMONS(Will post her name Later)
James Stancil
I have found a Sarah E. Stancil, William Stancil, Martha A.
Stancil, along with Major Washington Stancil, Mary L., Susan M, Susie
Bell, Birdie Viola, David N. and James H., all children of Eli
Nimmons Stancil. They were born in Rabun County, Georgia
Amanda was married to Eli Nimmons Stancil. I am researching the
Stancil side of the family. Eli and Amanda had 8 children, the last
one born in April 1880. He then remarried and had other children
after 1885 with Jenny Sara Husky, so I assume that Amanda died
between 1880 and 1885.
I would love any other information you have on the Stancil side. I
could also provide you with more on the Stancil's if you need it.
Eli Stancil of Pickens County, S.C
I have an Eli Stancil who died in Pickins, SC in 1866. He was
married to Sarah, and they had 9 children: Eli, James, Elizabeth,
Alfred, Rebecca, John, Willir, Lucinda, and Warren. Is this any help?
I think Eli's father was Levi, but not sure on this yet.
Eli Stancil (married to Sarah) had a son named Eli Nimmons Stancil
(married to Amanda Gwinn). Both Eli's were born in South Carolina. I
don't have much else on either of these two, but do have a lot of
information on James H. Stancil, who is the son of Eli Nimmons
My grandfather was Levis Stancil 1921 Georgia. He was from Rabun
Gap, GA. His parents were James Otto Stancil and Marie Elizabeth
Love. I have just started on tracing my grandfather's side of the
family. I beleive James Otto Stancil's mother was Blackfoot Indian
(or that is what is told to me my family members). Any connection -
please email me. Thanks
I was told growing up that there were 3 brothers that came to
America. Hence, the spelling Stancil 3 ways (-cel, -sel). I have just
begun researching my grandfather's lineage (b.1921 d.1978). He was
from Rabun Gap, GA. His father was James Otto Stancil and his mother
was Martha Elizabeth Love Stancil. Good luck in your search
Thank you so much - this will give me a lot to research. Last
night I had gotten from my grandma (Alma Stancil) that brothers and
sisters of Levis Stancil. They are William, Jessie, Ronald, Gladys,
Carolyn, Florence, Fannie, Yvonne, and Estellee. She also told me
James Otto Stancil had 2 brothers she knew of - Carl (which shows as
1 y.o. on your email) and John (?). I was told James Otto's mom was
Blackfoot (Sarah?) and using that term instead of Blackfeet suggest
Canadian. Still working on that one. Thanks again!
Levis, I can add some information, as I am the grandaughter of
Sallie(Otto's sister). James Otto Stancil's parents were James
Hamilton Stancil and Sarah Jane Taylor. Sarah's parents were
Sidney "Dudley" Taylor (CSA) and Mahulda Caroline "Huldy" York. I
have pictures and more info if you are still interested.
Levis, your grandfather Levis is the brother of my husband's
father. You listed the brothers and sisters (William, Jessie, Ronald,
Gladys, etc.) but you left off Joseph, who was my husband's father.
Florence and Yvonne are still living, but Ronnie died last year. It
looks like you and I are looking for the same family, so if you'd
like to e-mail me, we can share information.
And James Otto had 3 brothers, Carl, Warner and Millard, plus a lot
of sisters. I would like to talk to you about your family, since I
assume your mom (daughter of Levis) would be my husband's cousin.
I have no close connection to your Stancils. Mine are all of the NC
branch of the family.
1-Your grandfather Levis was listed with his parents James and Martha
Stancil in the 1930 census in Spartanburg County, SC.
2- Levis's father James Otto Stancil was born circa 1892-1894
3- James Otto Stancil was listed with his parents on the 1910 census
in Tennessee Valley, Rabun County Georgia:
Stancil, James 41 y.o. born SC
Sarah 42 y.o. born SC
Lula 23 y.o. born SC
Bertha 18 y.o. born SC Millard's sister, may have died about 28 y.o.
Otto 16 y.o. born GA
Margaret 14 y.o. born GA
Sis 12 y.o. born GA
Sallie 11 y.o. born GA
Warner/Warren 7 y.o. born GA
Millard 4 y.o. born GA
Carl 1 y.o. born GA
4-James Otto's father James H (Henry?) Stancil was listed on the 1880
census Rabun County, GA census in Tennessee Valley in the household
of his parents:
Stancil, Eli N. 32 y.o. born SC
Amanda 35 y.o. born SC (maiden name Guinn/Gwinn?)
James H. 14 y.o. born SC
Martha A. 13 y.o. born SC
Mary L. 11 y.o. born SC
Sleeter ? 8 y.o. born SC
Sarah E. 5 y.o. born GA
Susan 4 y.o. born GA
William 1 y.o. born GA
5-Eli N. Stancil was listed in the 1850 census in Pickens County, SC
with his parents:
Stancil, Eli 49 y.o. born SC
Sarah 42 y.o.
James M. 24 y.o.
Elizabeth 23 y.o.
Alfred 19 y.o.
Rebecca (?) 18 y.o.
John H. 18 y.o.
Willis A. 15 y.o.
Lucinda 13 y.o.
Warren H. 9 y.o.
Eli N. 3 y.o.
Eli said to have died in Pickens,SC in 1866 but I have no source for
that date.
So your line would be:
James Otto and Martha
James H. ( born circa 1866 ) and Sarah
Eli N. ( born circa 1847 )and Amanda
Eli ( born circa 1801 )and Sarah
Beyond this I can't really help. The claim has been made ( and I
don't know the source ) that Eli born circa 1801 was the son of a
Levi Stancil born 1770's.
IF (and I say IF ) Eli was a son of Levi, that would suggest to me
the Levi Stancil found on the Greenville County, SC census in 1800 ,
1810 ( maybe later).
I doubt there is enough evidence to substantiate the paternity of
that Levi Stancil born 1770's and found in Greenville County, SC in
the early 1800's.
My best guess would be that Levi of the 1800 Greenville census was
most likely a son of the Samuel Stancil also found one page away in
Greenville in 1800.
I can not prove it, but I truly believe that Samuel Stancil of the
1800 Greenville County, SC census was most likely the very same
Samuel Stancil who was listed on the NC census of 1784-1787 in Wilkes
County, NC. ( there seems to have been quite a bit of migration from
Wilkes County, NC to Greenville County, SC about the 1790-1800 time
Samuel Stancil who was in Wilkes County, NC during the 1780's had
gone there from Wake County, NC where he had a couple land grants and
deeds between 1779-1780's.
Samuel Stancil had gone to Wake County about 1779 from Cumberland
County, NC. Prior to Cumberland County he had been in Pitt County, NC
I believe.
To make a long story short I think Samuel Stancil was the orphan
Samuel Stancil named in court records during the 1730's (Bertie
and/or Tyrrell County, NC) - listed as an orphan of Peter Stancil
Peter Stancil who died during the 1730's was a carpenter, his wife's
name was Sarah (maiden name unknown). After Peter Stancil's death the
widow Sarah Stancil married a man named Richard Sparkman. ( I believe
Levi was a commonly used name in the Sparkman family)
I don't think there is any explicit evidence, but there is absolutely
no doubt in my mind that Peter Stancil dec'd 1730's was a son of John
Stancil and wife Katherine (maiden name unknown, commonly said to
be "Hardy" but there is not one shred of evidence)
This John Stancil , husband of Katherine, was the immigrant ancestor
of our family. He was born in England about 1662 and came to VA as an
indentured servant in 1683. He was listed on the Nansemond County, VA
tax list in 1704 shortly after which he moved just a little south to
the Chowan County area of NC where he was mentioned several times in
the colonial NC court records between 1709 and 1713.
John Stancil died in Chowan, NC in late 1712/early 1713.
The section of Chowan where John died later became Bertie County and
it is in Bertie County where John's sons are found in the records not
long after his death.
Best of luck,
Tracy Stancil

Gold miner ETFs represent a key battleground between bulls and bears as trading volume and volatility pick up. In other words, gold miner ETFs are a trader's dream right now.
Market Vectors Gold Miners (NYSEArca: GDX) was set to open lower Thursday for the third straight session. However, the miner ETF is higher the past couple months in sloppy trading after hitting a multiyear low in late June. The fund has also climbed above its 50-day moving average for the first time in nearly a year.
From a technical perspective, traders are watching a bullish inverse "head and shoulders" pattern in GDX. The ETF has been pushed back this week at the "neckline" of the formation. Yet a sustained breakout above $31 a share in GDX would trigger the bullish technical pattern. [GDX Could See Pullback]
Trading has also accelerated in leveraged ETFs for gold miners. For example, Direxion Daily Gold Miners Bull 3X Shares (NYSEArca: NUGT) and Direxion Daily Gold Miners Bear 3X Shares (NYSEArca: DUST) provide 300% leverage on a daily basis.
GDX, NUGT and DUST have also been trending recently on social media platforms such as StockTwits. Additionally, charting site StockCharts says NUGT and DUST have been trending on its "ticker cloud" of popular securities.
This suggests there is not much middle ground on gold and miners since "chartists are either raging bulls or raving bears," StockCharts said. The divergence in sentiment means gold miner ETFs should continue to see elevated trading volume and volatility.

Full disclosure: Tom Lydon's clients own NUGT.
