I DO NOT, like the new style LEE Molds!
These new molds are retarded! Lee should have left well enough alone! First of all, I prepped the mold as per LEE's instructions. I even took it one step further and put graphite on the top of the mold to try to keep the sprue plate from galling the top of the mold blocks. Well after only about 300 round ball cast the top of the molds block are galled. I kept the sprue plate pivot and locating pins lubed with beeswax. The sprue plate CONTINUOUSLY loosened up! And in one of the round ball cavities there is a rough tool mark almost looks like where the sprue was cut, just a rough finished mold and the quality of this one SUCKS! Then the icing on the cake today was one of the locating pins fell out. The old style LEE molds worked PERFECT, I have some that are still going strong after TONS of castings, no galling etc. I'm going to order a LYMAN mold RIGHT NOW!!!
Thanks for listening to my rant. I feel better now I got that off my chest. I do realize that its a 20 dollar mold, but still when I get in the groove making boolits I don't like to have to stop after I got everything set up and running.

Step up to the 6 cav moulds, I only bought the 2 cav mould to make a few "samples". Big difference in quality, even tho I found my 2 cav moulds quite acceptable.
I'd send it back, pretty sure they'll make it right. We all make mistakes sometimes.

I have a New style .401 SWC mold and I love it. Much better than my old style.
Call Lee and send it back, let us know how they handled it.

All Lee molds I've bought the past couple years have galled the aluminum, had loosened sprue plates and a couple dropped locating pins.
Sounds normal to me.

First, throw away the lee instructions. Forget about smoking the molds, and forget about using boolit lube to lubricate the mold or sprue pivot.
Go to the automotive store nearest you, look for synthetic 2 cycle oil. Buy a-----well the smallest quantity you can find. Use that to lube your molds, ALL MOLDS, not just lee. The pivot for the sprue plate, the locating pins for the blocks, and once the mold is hot, the underside of the sprue plate. The synthetic 2 cycle oil is the same stuff that bullshop sells as bullplate sprueplate lube.
That would prevent the galling, and the sticking of the guide pins that caused them to fall out. The boolit lube they say to use BURNS! Then it results in a sticky mess when it's done burning. The 2 cycle lube is a high temp lube, it's supposed to lubricate even at high temp, and does NOT turn to ash.

I agree with the lubing with something other than bullet lube. I use Mobil 1. I have a case of it on hand for my truck. (92 Mazda with 345,000 Problem Free miles, though it is near time to do a break job.) I use a pipe cleaner, I preheat the mold on a gas stove. I dip the pipe cleaner, and then squeeze off the excess. I lube under the sprue plate, and I Lube the pins, and pivot point. It smoke for a couple of minutes, and is then good for the duration of my casting session.
Ok now back to casting. Need more .358 158 grain SWC for the weekend. It is casting weather. 75 and sunny with a wind chill of awsome.
No matter how many times you do it and nothing happens it only takes something going wrong one time to kill you.

Thanks for all the replies Gentlemen! I will remember the 2cycle oil Idea for the new mold. I'm going to contact Lee today and see what they say. I have put the locating pin back in and cleaned it up. But I can't do anything about the machining mark (makes that side of the ball look like a cut sprue) in one side of the cavities.

Lee Mold galling
I use a small candle on the sprew plate screw. After so many casts, with bullets in eth mold--touch it lightly to the top of the sprew plate screw..it gives enough to last quite awhile and it will not contaminate the cavities.
I will try some syn oil next time with mine. Syn oil doesn't breakdown under high temperatures... With the candle wax, it will evaporate without leaving a residue, so you have to replenish it, after so many casting cycles. No big deal IMHO.

Oh trust me, syn motor oil definitely leaves a residue and smells terrible as it burns off. I'm considering that 2-cycle oil suggestion.

Well I got the Lee mold whipped in shape. I just wasn't bothering sending a 20 dollar mold back and going through the hassle. So, I got some coarse and fine lapping compound. Starting with course and following with fine, I took some 000 steel wool and tore me off a little piece. Then dabbed a little lapping compound in the cavities, then with a #2 pencil (new one) I used the eraser end to grip the steel wool and i went to spinning it between my palms, like you would if you were lapping a valve into a head. Did it to both halves of the mold and VIOLA polished and machine mark free cavities. I'm sure the other methods are faster but hey it took me NO set up time with this method. I then removed the sprue plate and added a little fine compound to the shoulder of the sprue plate set screw and with a properly fitting screw driver I went to town working the screw back and forth then doing complete turns. This polished the shoulder of the screw and the hole in the sprue plate. Now the sprue plate glides on the screw like BUTTAH!! Then with a little fine compound on a piece of steel wool, I polished the under side of the sprue plate and the top of the mold blocks. With everything back together and a lite coat of 2 cycle synthetic motor oil it works smooth as silk. Can't wait to see how it does in a future casting session.

Now, hold on!!!!......
Let's not rush to hasty conclusions just yet! Perhaps you'd better send me a box-or-so of them round balls when you first pour a few pounds and let me test 'em out, just to make sure.
I'd hate to see that you thought you fixed it, only to find out later that you were mistaken.
It's the least I can do for a fellow BP shooter/caster.

Can anyone help identify this little creature ?
I spotted him in our window box. He just appeared today - on the inside of the glass.. I'm hoping he will eat the aphids !
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Byrrhus pilula?
Yes! I think that might be correct!
Not likely to eat the Aphids if so. But not unwelcome none the less.
I wonder if we picked him up somehow when we took some moss from beside the Dean river.
Thank you. I would have been puzzled no end!
Kind regards
No, it's not Byrrhus pilula. But I don't think it will be possible to ID from your photo.

People tire of public school issues that reflect contemporary societal problems or poor management -- or both. Nothing, with the exception of school violence, upsets parents more than repeated redistricting due to demographics or overcrowding.
Charter schools have become a popular alternative over the past two decades, endorsed by President Obama and U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan as an innovative and viable way to boost student achievement and get children out of low-performing traditional public schools. And while there have been success stories, just as there are in traditional public schools, charters also can present real problems for school boards and districts that are struggling to make ends meet.
Typically, state charter school legislation allows the diversion of local school tax money without oversight by the local school board. Some charters are under district oversight, but the general aim is for separate management both at the local and state levels. Recently, the Georgia Supreme Court held that having a state commission devoted to these schools violated the state constitution, enraging charter interests.
Charters do not have to take all comers, are not redistricted as demographics shift, can ease out poor learners, and can manage themselves or hire a private firm. The result can be using tax money to escape from support for operating the local public school district.
In South Carolina, for example, legislation provided that a charter's racial makeup should reflect the district or the "targeted" area. What public school district gets to "target" the area it will serve, given what that can mean in terms of racial and socioeconomic balance?

Teens actually do listen
Anyone who has or works with teenagers will tell you that it's sometimes difficult to tell if important messages like "don't drink and drive" are actually getting through. A newly released study from the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention shows that teens really are listening.
The percentage of teens in high school who drove when they had been drinking alcohol decreased by 54 percent between 1991 and 2011, according to a Vital Signs study released this week by the CDC. Nine out of 10 high school teens did not drink and drive during 2011.
"We are moving in the right direction. Rates of teen drinking and driving have been cut in half in 20 years," said CDC Director Thomas R. Frieden, in a statement.
Many efforts have been helping to reduce teen drinking and driving. Some of the proven, effective strategies include the laws in place in every state that make it illegal to sell alcohol to anyone under age 21 and for those under age 21 to drive after drinking any alcohol, plus the graduated driver licensing systems in every state that allow teens to gain privileges, such as driving at night or driving with passengers, over time.
Parents also have a crucial role to play in keeping their teens safe on the road. They can model safe driving behavior and can consider using tools like parent-teen driving agreements with their teens. They also must continue to drive home the message, if you'll pardon the pun, that getting behind the wheel after having even one drink can have dire consequences.
It doesn't have to be a sit-down lecture with the teen fidgeting and rolling his or her eyes throughout the conversation. There are often small moments of opportunity in everyday life where parents can broach the subject, like discussing a news report about a fatal accident in which alcohol was the contributing factor or reading a police log that lists DUI offenders and the court's punishment.
"Teens learn from adults," said Pamela S. Hyde, the administrator of the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, in a statement. "That is why it is critically important that parents, teachers, coaches and all caring adults in a young person's life talk with them early and often about the dangers of underage alcohol use as well as drinking and driving."
While the CDC study is encouraging, there is still more work to do. The report shows that teens were responsible for about 2.4 million episodes of drinking and driving a month in 2011. Some engaged in dangerous behavior more than once a month.
"We must keep up the momentum - one in 10 high school teens, aged 16 and older, drinks and drives each month, endangering themselves and others," said Frieden from the CDC.

Book Report: Books have political verve, movie potential
If you're wondering how we ever got so disastrously involved in Iraq, you might begin by reading "Arrows of the Night," by Richard Bonin (Doubleday, $27.95).
It's subtitled, "Ahmad Chalabi's Long Journey to Triumph in Iraq."
I had heard of Chalabi and seen him on TV, but because international diplomacy isn't high on my list of interests, I forgot about him.
Not so for Richard Bonin, a "60 Minutes" producer, who did specials on Chalabi and convinced him now that the dust has settled to be give many, many interviews.
This book reads like a gripping adventure story and should be made into a movie.
Seems Chalabi comes from an ancient Iraqi family, very rich and influential even though they were Shiites and in the political minority.
After Chalabi's banker father died, his son set out to get rid of Saddam Hussein by any means possible.
How this MIT-educated math professor managed to do it, how, over the course of 40 years, he involved the U.S., manipulated the neocons, how he stopped at nothing, is told with great flair by Bonin and the many people involved in interviews.
It all began in 1958, when after the revolution, his family was exiled. Several attempts followed and after failures he realized that he must not just involve Iraq's neighbor Iran, but must marshal the forces of the United States.
With all the news coming out of Greece lately, Stillwater author Pat Ferguson Hanson has chosen a serendipitous time to publish, "It Was Greek to Me" (Xlibris, n.p.).
It's not a happy time for Greece these days, but Hanson remembers her years there with great affection.
A Twin Cities girl she graduated from Creighton University in Omaha and landed what all of us would have called a dream job with the Voice of America. Then she got a better job as assistant cultural attaché at the U.S. embassy in Athens, Greece.
Her charming memoir of those days is written with great affection. She seemingly remembers every meal she ever ate in that city and out in the country.
As I read the book it was almost as good as going back to a long-ago trip we took to Greece.
My mouth watered as she described the delicious cucumber dip, the eggplant casserole, the bitter retsina wine that was part of her everyday experience in the old cradle of civilization.
Hanson was a prim and proper Roman Catholic girl, a product of Annunciation. She went to Greece covetous of her virginity and of the mores and folkways of Minneapolis.
Of course, she met continental men in Athens, including George, who had bad breath, and Thanasis, a Greek novelist who pursued her with great lust. She's shocked when he tells her that he has slept with his best friend's wife.
Eventually, she gives in to Thanasis. When she does, she's not coy about it with her readers. Some of the passages are rather steamy, but not prurient.
Along the way, she tells about her adventures as cultural attaché, organizing gallery events, and meeting and spending time with the likes of dancer Mikhail Baryshnikov and movie director Elia Kazan.
As her tenure in Athens wore on, the relationship with Thanasis soured when values collided and finally they break up. Years later she hears from a friend that Thanasis had bedded her on a bet.
"It hurt me to hear that," she writes. "I wanted to believe that I had meant more to Thanasis than just another notch on his belt."
Eventually our heroine returns to Minnesota, marries Jim Hanson raises a family and teaches communications at UW-River Falls.
Recently, she returned to Athens after many years, this time with a husband.
They are treated to an elaborate dinner by the indefatigable Thanasis, who has never married, but has a new girlfriend.
So it all ends happier than it did for Katharine Hepburn in that wonderful old movie "Summertime," when she discovers that her new Italian boyfriend (Rossano Brazzi) is already married.
Come to think of it "It was Greek to Me" might just make a good movie.
Senior Moment Department: I've been informed by Jim Collison of the fascinating Music Man Square in Mason City that Meredith Willson did not write "The Pajama Game," which was also set in Iowa, but written by Adler and Ross. I also referred to a man I thought was Meredith Willson's brother. Not so, said Collison. Maybe a cousin?

I visited the ggb website and looked for the out-of-state or no plate vehicle toll payment options, and discovered there are several ways to pay the tolls, either before or after the crossing. Boy! I bet we will see 100% collection compliance with that system. Who thinks-up this nonsense?

The bridge toll takes a picture of the front license plate. But, if it's a new car or anyone without a front license plate I wonder how they are going to collect.
My best guess is that they can have losses from non-collected tolls but they are minor to the labor costs to manually collect the toll.
a resident of Gatewood
on Feb 21, 2013 at 3:38 pm
Let's see-- $16 million saved over 8 years, say $2 million a year divided by 15 toll takers (nearly half of 28 will be reassigned) equates to $133,333/year(including benefits per toll taker... A good target job to cut costs. But, the next question, as mentioned above, is what about the out of state tourist, rent a car local, or other non payer? Is that included in the $16 million saved?? I doubt it. Just another "save money in theory, not in reality" edict. Heck, how else do you design a plane while it's flying?

Come Party With Me: Bachelorette — Drinks
If you're hosting a party — like Ronda's belly dancing-themed bachelorette — that begins in the early evening and carries on until the wee hours of morning at a second location, skip the shots and hard alcohol. You don't want guests getting too wasted too quickly, and you'll save money by not having to purchase a bunch of liquor.
At a bachelorette, serve a girly, bubbly cocktail like this lavender and peach bellini. Its vibrant color matches the sunny Mediterranean appetizer menu, and the easy recipe makes a large batch. White wine and sparkling water are other good beverage options to have on hand. For the recipe to this fruity and floral concoction,
Lavender and Peach Bellini
From Epicurious
- 1 part peach puree
- 2 parts Prosecco or another sparkling wine
- 1 pinch of edible, nontoxic, dried or fresh lavender
- Place the puree in the bottom of a champagne glass.
- Carefully pour in the sparkling wine.
- Don't stir, but use a spoon to pull the puree up along the sides of the glass, so that you won't lose the bubbles.
- Decorate with the lavender.
Serving size varies.

Case names new director of community relations
University augments commitment to local neighborhoods
In order to build more and stronger relationships with the city of Cleveland and the neighborhoods surrounding campus, Case Western Reserve University has named Latisha M. James of Cleveland Heights as director of community relations. She began her duties June 23 in Case's Center for Community Partnerships.
James comes to Case from the Cleveland Indians, where she served as director of community relations since October 2000.
She also will be responsible for improving internal and external recognition for those community groups and institutions helping Case in its mission of offering a superior place of learning, research and community service.
As director, James will represent the university to community, civic and business representatives, functioning as a liaison and catalyst to enhance university/community relations. She also will assist in the development and promotion of an integrated institutional strategy to community relations and community service, as well as in outreach to the Cleveland Municipal School District and other community organizations. In cooperation with other university offices, James also will facilitate the establishment of productive and sustainable community dialogues and promote effective community relations. She will report to Chisholm.
"Working with the community is a top priority of this university," said Chisholm. "Latisha James will be a remarkable asset to Case. Her work with the Indians and the city of Cleveland make her a natural selection for this important position. I am excited about how the addition of Latisha James to our staff will enhance the prospect of what our Center for Community Partnerships will be able to accomplish for Cleveland and particularly for the neighborhoods surrounding Case and University Circle."
In addition to her work with the external community, James will also work with organizations on campus to identify and organize volunteer opportunities for Case faculty, staff, students and alumni.
The Center for Community Partnerships at Case was created in 2003 to nurture more and stronger relationships with the city of Cleveland, University Circle and the neighborhoods surrounding it. The center is the catalyst behind the recent launch of the Case Community Card, which local residents in neighborhoods near campus can use to access many of the same facilities and services Case provides to students, faculty and staff. Community card holders have a plastic Case ID card with a photo and a status bar of "Community" and can take advantage of the university's educational, recreational, cultural and dining services for the first time.
Among other university/community-related efforts, the center is also responsible for promoting Case's award-winning Supplier Diversity Initiative, which assists minority and women-owned business enterprises gain greater access to business opportunities at the university.
While with the Cleveland Indians, James supervised all facets of connecting the ballclub to the Northeast Ohio community, including the coordination of youth baseball, educational and civic outreach programs for the players, wives association and front office employees. She also served as a team liaison with the Major League Baseball office regarding league-wide community relations and corporate affairs programs and translated league initiatives to the local level. In addition, James managed various budgets totaling close to $1 million in club activities, community donations, market development, recreational, player and wives programs.
Prior to her duties with the Indians, James worked at University Circle Inc. and served as the project manager of "Shaping the Future of University Circle" in 1999 and 2000.

Instead of pulling out the steel to make bread, what you can do is use a terra-cotta planter to bake the bread on. You can get them all different shapes and sizes, so feel free to be creative with it. The terra-cotta will slow down the heat transmission to a workable level for bread.
Colin, are you sure this is 1/2" steel plate?
As Scott 123 states, bigger is better when it comes to steel. I have 17 by 17 by 1/2 and would even like 18 by 18. I have a cheap Kenmore electric oven that goes to 530 or 540, and with my steel and top broiler kick, I have everything I need to put out the one of the best New York pies anywhere. I am a student of Scott 123, and he has brought me to the promised land. My steel is seasoned. I wipe it down every 2nd or 3rd use with olive oil and it has a nice dark smooth patina. No rust. At 530, no pie should take longer than 5 minutes. My times are 3.5 to 4.5 minutes, with some char. Mike, I am glad to review my process, and ask any questions. Kitchen Aid mixer All Trumps Bromated, 63% hydration ( Pur filtered water ) 1.75% salt, .5% IDY and 1% Olive Oil. Toss yeast into flour, and mix salt into heated water. Add water to flour ( temps added equal around 140 degrees, to get about 80 degrees after mix ) and combine with spatula for 3 second mix. Mix in Kitchen Aid mixer on speed one for 1 minute, speed 2 for one minute, and toss in oil and keep on speed 2 for 1 minute. Total 3 minute mix ( and I think I can even cut down on this ). Divide dough into 14 ounce balls ( And I do hand knead for about 15 seconds each ball to get a nice round smooth ball ). Put in lightly oiled containers. Refrigerate for 2 to 3 days. Pull containers 2 to 3 hours before baking and place in room temperature to warm up. On well floured surface, open 14 ounce ball to 16 inches. Place on peel with semolina, top with 6.5 ounces cheese, 6 ounces sauce, dust with Pecorino Romano, and launch pie. Top broiler assist for 45 seconds. Pull pie from 3.5 to 4.5 minutes. Enjoy. Mark

The Russellville School District will begin the process of hiring a person to assist with security and safety issues at Russellville High School following the school board's approval of the new position at Tuesday's meeting.
High school principal Wesley White said he has wanted to have a position that would oversee security and safety for some time now.
"The administrators are spending a lot of time dealing with discipline issues, and if we have someone who is totally working with things that affect the safety of our students, it can free up the principals to go back into the classrooms for instructional leadership purposes," White said.
"This person's job, as I envision it, would be to patrol and work the campus, the parking lot, the hallways, to monitor what is going on and to address any issues that arise."
According to White, a specific job description has not been developed yet because the position had not been approved by board members. He said he has been looking at job descriptions of similar positions at school districts around the state and will, along with other administrators, determine a more defined job description soon.
He said the person overseeing security and safety will not take the place of the school resource officer but will complement that position.
"The school resource officer functions as a police officer," White said. "His job duties are tailored toward law enforcement. This security person will work with me, and I will assign his duties.
"I see this person as someone who will assist our resource officer, and it will take a special person that will be trained to work with law enforcement and with our school officials. We don't need two police officers. We need somebody to do something totally different; but I do think this person will significantly complement the school resource officer."
Duties that could be assigned to the person in charge of security and safety include monitoring students arriving and leaving from the parking lot and assisting classroom teachers with discipline issues, White said.
White is assisted at Russellville High School by two assistant principals -Margaret Robinson and Bruce Conley.
"We're visiting with other schools that have these positions to see what roles they fill in those areas," White said. "I know some things I want to see out of this position, but I expect it to grow and grow as we learn more."
School board member Margie Smith asked how the salary for the position would be determined. Superintendent Danny Taylor said it will be determined after administrators look at the qualifications of the applicants.
"We'll see what the qualifications are and then come back to the board for approval of the salary we've determined," Taylor said.
Smith said she thought it was important to fund the position sufficiently to prevent excessive turnover of employees.
"We want to get a quality person so it's not changing every year," Smith said.
Board member James Sorrells said he appreciated White's desire to make students and parents feel safer.
"We've had some issues lately, and you've evaluated the situation and seen a need," Sorrells said. "I appreciate your reacting to that and recommending this position."
Taylor said similar positions were becoming more common throughout school districts in Arkansas.
"Larger districts in the state already have positions like this, and as our community diversity continues to increase, we'll need some additional help," he said. "This may not be the last time we request this type of position. It's something Mr. White has been looking at for a period of time."
Two students were arrested Oct. 7 on charges of disorderly conduct after they were accused of fighting each other. Also on that date, another student was arrested on charges of third-degree battery and taken to the Pope County Detention Center after he allegedly injured another male student for making racial slurs, according to a police report.
Another male student is facing charges of carrying a weapon on school property after police were informed of a knife he was accused of carrying during the alleged fight. That student was released without arrest.
Additionally, at the same time the fight was occurring, another student was allegedly caught smoking marijuana in the downstairs locker room. An officer who initially responded to the disturbance call transported the students to the detention center.
Taylor said he hopes a person to fill the position can be secured by the November board meeting.
Although White said the safety and security position was something he was exploring before the incidents on Oct. 7, he said he hoped the position would make students, parents and employees feel safer about coming to school.
"It's just another thing we can do to make people feel safe," White said. "Right now, our administrators are spending so much time dealing with discipline, instructional leadership takes a backseat.
"We hope this will help us get back to that role as principals and allow us to be more accessible to our teachers, staff and students."

Animal Species:Blue Triangle Butterfly
The Blue Triangle Butterfly is an active butterfly moving quickly from flower to flower.
Standard Common Name
Blue Triangle Butterfly
Commonly seen in Sydney gardens, the Blue Triangle Butterfly's triangular-shaped wings are vibrant turquoise-blue with black around the margins.
Size range
6.6-7.5 cm
The Blue Triangle Butterfly is found in Eastern Australia, from Torres Strait and Cape York in Queensland to about 160 km south of Sydney.
Distribution by collection data
Biomaps map of Graphium sarpedon choredon specimens from the Australian Museum database
The Blue Triangle Butterfly is found in urban areas, forests and woodlands. Although preferring moist rainforest habitats, this species has survived well in Sydney's suburbs.
Feeding and Diet
The caterpillars of the Blue Triangle Butterfly have adapted to feed on a variety of plants including the introduced Camphor Laurel (Cinnamomum camphora).
Other behaviours and adaptations
The green Blue Triangle Butterfly larvae rest on the upperside of the leaves and can be difficult to see. If the plant is disturbed, you are more likely to smell them before you see them. Many caterpillars in this family (Papilionidae) have an 'osmeterium', which looks like a fleshy horn that pops up from a slit behind their head and emits a strong smell. In this species the osmeterium is yellow, but in other species it may be red.

Hi Serena,
In Sydney eggs will normally be found singly on the underside of leaves of the introduced camphor laurel. They are spherical, yellow-cream, and do not have much surface sculpture.
Dave, what do the eggs of this species look like? Just saw the butterfly in my garden. Thanks!
If the butterfly you saw was a blue triangle it would be highly unlikely that it was resident or even vagrant in SE Tasmania. The natural distribution extends as far south as coastal southern NSW, with verified southernmost records from Bawley Point and Ulladulla, so it would be unlikely that even a stray southern NSW specimen would make its all the way down to Tasmania. The only swallowtail/triangle which occurs naturally in Tasmania is Macleay's Triangle (sometimes called Macleay's Swallowtail). I guess this leaves the only options as being either a misidentification on your part, or that a specimen has been released by movement of a pupa or larva on plant material or pot plants brought down to Tasmania from further north. The release of specimens outside their natural distribution is not all that uncommon - we had a male Cairns Birdwing photographed in a Sydney suburb earlier in the year. It probably had escaped from the Darling Harbour Wildlife World complex where they keep live specimens of this species.

you probably didn't want the home depot there either, so now you're getting low income housing. it's not going to stay a dirt field forever. should have just let the home depot go in.

The Vintage is NOT low income housing. It is a thoughtfully designed mixed use community with 345 high-end rental apartments and about 38,000 square feet of neighborhood-serving retail such as coffee, restaurant, bank, etc. 15% of the apartments may be offered at somewhat below market rate as part of an agreement with the city, but the apartments will otherwise be market rate, and the community will include wonderful amenities such as a large fitness center and pool, two playground areas, lushly landscaped open spaces and a central plaza that will integrate the housing with the retail and provide attractive gathering spaces and outdoor dining. There will be bus access to BART right in front of the site. I believe it will be an asset to Pleasanton.

I can't tell you how delighted I be!
I hope that the units are bright and cheery colors!
I know that there's likely to be tons of people of color who want to apply for an opening...I'll keep my fingers crossed!
I look forward to the KFC next to the high end gym!!!
Truly delighted!

KT, always good to have the developer chime in and give us the real facts.
Going to be quite a few disclosures for people to sign should they move there. Airport near by with it's flight path, train tracks across the street with train whistling each time it passes by because of the distance to the nearest crossing, PG&E substation behind it, and the controversial high-voltage KV electric line that goes right next to it. I was not sure it was even legal to put homes that close to that underground high-voltage line. That line was so controversial that the city would not allow it adjacent to residential neighborhoods. Maybe disclosures are not for renters, only people who purchase a property. I guess the plan is not to disclose all of this to the renters.

jay, you write "That line was so controversial that the city would not allow it adjacent to residential neighborhoods". What kind of BS is this since it is well known the line continues down Vineyard between Montevino Drive to Bernal, where it then crosses the Arroyo to arrive at the substation. No residential there? Why the lies?

Bill for China Ads in U.S. Election: $54.3 Million
More In China-US
- 'The Great Wall' Scales to the Top of China's Box Office
- U.S. Presidential Debate Inspires Schadenfreude in China
- China Appears to Have Built Radar Gear on Disputed South China Sea Islands
- Chinese Developers Build in America, but Look for Buyers at Home
- U.S. Clears Weapons Sale to Taiwan
- China's Tech Industry Is as Male-Dominated as Silicon Valley
China was at the center of the U.S. presidential debates and other contentious election fights. Now we know that the campaigns put their money where their mouths were.
According to Kantar Media's Campaign Media Analysis Group, the two presidential campaigns spent a combined $45.7 million on television advertising that discussed China and trade. Additionally, candidates in four Senate elections tracked by the group – Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Indiana — spent another $8.6 million in China trade spots.
"In previous elections, China has sometimes been used in a national security context," wrote Elizabeth Wilner, an analyst at CMAG, a political ad tracking firm in Washington D.C. "In 2012, it was used in an economic one." The CMAG report didn't analyze the content of all the ads, though the ones it did mention were negative.
The CMAG analysis was done for the Alliance for American Manufacturing, a collaboration of the United Steelworkers and steel makers, which has long taken a tough stance on China trade – and has regularly been disappointed post-election that U.S. policy towards China remains one of compromise, not confrontation.
According to CMAG, the spending on China ads was small compared to ads focusing on jobs, which accounted for $588.5 million in presidential television advertising. But still, the cash devoted to China advertising was hardly chump change.
In the past, complaints about China have come mainly from Democrats. In the 2008 campaign, for instance, then-candidate Barack Obama favored designating China as a currency manipulator – and then didn't – while his Republican opponent, John McCain took a free-trade line.
This time, it was Republican Mitt Romney who pledged to name China a currency manipulator and Mr. Obama, the Democrat, was on the defensive. Translated into TV ad buys, Mr. Romney outspent Mr. Obama 3 to 1 on China ads ($33.8 million vs $11.9 million), accusing the president "of not being tough enough on China trade and currency," said Ms. Wilner. The president's campaign responded with an ad accusing the Republican nominee of sending jobs to China via his old job at Bain Capital.
In the four Senate races tracked, Sen. Sherrod Brown of Ohio spent $3.7 million on China ads, while his opponent, state Treasurer Josh Mandel, didn't run such ads, according to CMAG. In Pennsylvania, the Republican candidate Tom Smith, a former coal-mining magnate, outspent Democratic Sen. Bob Casey by a 2-to-1 margin ($1.4 million vs. $700,000) on China ads. In Wisconsin, it was the reverse. Democratic Rep. Tammy Baldwin outspent Republican former Gov. Tommy Thompson by 5-to-1 ($1.6 million vs. $300,000) on China ads. And in Indiana, Democratic Rep. Joe Donnelly spent $1 million on China ads, while his opponent, Tea Party favorite Richard Mourdock didn't run China trade ads, according to CMAG.
"China has become a pivotal issue," said the manufacturing alliance's executive director, Scott Paul, in a press statement.
But it's far from clear that China has becoming a winning issue. In the presidential race, Mr. Obama won despite being outspent on China ads. In the four Senate races, the candidates who spent the most money on China ads won three races (Ohio, Indiana Wisconsin) and lost one (Pennsylvania).
The place that saw the most China ads? Cleveland, Ohio, where TV watchers were deluged with 4,722 China trade ads, which cost the campaigns $4.6 million.

Forty percent of the Padres pitching rotation was a scratch Saturday.
On a night when starting pitcher Tyson Ross went on the disabled list and rotation-mate Clayton Richard was back in his hotel room, felled by "flu-like symptoms," Andrew Cashner came out of the Padres bullpen to take over the latter's start Saturday. Cashner acquitted himself fairly well in the emergency, but was victimized for the two-run homer by Pablo Sandoval that stood for a 2-0 win by the San Francisco Giants.
Indeed, the Giants needed just three hits for the win, which you can do when you've got a switch-hitter whose resume includes three home runs in one World Series game. Sandoval's so capable, in fact, that he somehow turned what most would agree was a great inside pitch into a game-winner.
"It was the pitch I wanted to throw," " said Cashner, noting that he actually got beat by the walk to Angel Pagan that preceded the homer. "I jammed him and he got it up in the air."
Also working against the Padres was Tim Lincecum, pitching at times like he did when winning two Cy Young Awards. Shutting out the Padres on four hits over 6 2/3 innings, Linecum struck out eight, bringing to 22 the San Diego total of whiffs in two games here.
"He was throwing strikes, and when he missed, he missed over the plate," said Chase Headley. "It even seemed like when he was trying to go away, he missed and pulled it all the way across the plate, hitting the inside corner. He definitely had the best handle of the splitter that I've seen in a while, and it's one of the best."
The Padres rotation, which began the season with a lot of ineffectiveness, suddenly is awash again in uncertainty. Richard's sickness is expected to pass in a matter of days, but Ross is done for at least two weeks and likely longer. The nature of his separated-shoulder injury -- and the Padres' history with it -- suggest that the team will want to be extra cautious in bringing him back.
Two seasons ago, right-handed starter Dustin Moseley was twice sidelined by a subluxation of his non-pitching shoulder, a very rare injury that occurred while he was hitting. The exact same thing happened to Ross, although his arm was dislocated in a different part of the shoulder, and the wonder is whether he'll have to have the same sort of procedure that tightened up the capsule of Moseley's shoulder.
Deja vu?
"A little bit, a little bit," said Black. "Let's hope when he comes back, there won't be a re-occurrence."
The Padres' plan is to have lefty Eric Stults pitch the series finale at San Francisco on Sunday, as scheduled, and Marquis work the Monday opener of a three-game set with the Milwaukee Brewers on Monday at Petco Park. Ross' next start was to be Tuesday and Black seemed fairly confident that Richard would be well enough in time to handle that assignment.
"I think it's a 24-, 48-hour thing," said Black of Richard's illness. "He was queasy last night, woke up this morning and was ill. He's got a virus. His strength is sapped."
At the very least, Cashner earned another start with his performance. Though his ball-strike ratio got close to 50-50 at times in the early going, Cashner kept the Giants under control, dodging a bullet when Sandoval hoisted a foul-by-inches ball that bounded past diving left fielder Jesus Guzman.
A few pitches later, though, Sandoval drove a ball over the high wall in right for a two-run homer. Cashner gave way to a pinch hitter, fellow pitcher Jason Marquis, departing with five strikeouts and only two hits allowed.
The Padres had their chances. Headley grounded out with the bases loaded in the third, however, and Yonder Alonso hit into a double play with runners on third and first in the eighth.

WASHINGTON, May 29 - Hundreds of Iraqi prisoners were held in Abu Ghraib prison for prolonged periods despite a lack of evidence that they posed a security threat to American forces, according to an Army report completed last fall.
The unpublished report, by Maj. Gen. Donald J. Ryder, reflects what other senior Army officers have described as a deep concern among some American officers and officials in Iraq over the refusal of top American commanders in Baghdad to authorize the release of so-called security prisoners. Some of those prisoners were held for interrogation at Abu Ghraib in the cellblock that became the site of the worst abuses at the prison.
General Ryder, the Army's provost marshal, reported that some Iraqis had been held for several months for nothing more than expressing "displeasure or ill will" toward the American occupying forces. The Nov. 5 report said the process for deciding which arrested Iraqis posed security risks justifying imprisonment, and for deciding when to release them, violated the Pentagon's own policies. It also said the conditions in which they were held sometimes violated the Geneva Conventions.
General Ryder's report, obtained by The New York Times, was based on a review of prisons in Iraq last summer and fall, and it made no mention of abuses at Abu Ghraib. But it warned that the continuing influx of prisoners being arrested as the American-led occupation forces fought a persistent insurrection would strain the system set up to review each case every six months, as required by international law.
"A more disciplined system would reduce the security internee population and inherent challenge of holding Iraqis that feel they have been unjustly detained," he wrote.
Since the scope of abuses at Abu Ghraib first began to come to light late last month, the military has begun to discharge prisoners from the facility at a rapidly accelerated rate. On Friday alone, 624 Iraqi prisoners were freed from the prison, in the fourth such release in May.
But the military has offered little public explanation of the process of deciding who should be released and who should remain in prison. In Baghdad this week, the top American military spokesman in Iraq offered a vigorous defense of the procedures used by American commanders for determining which Iraqi prisoners should be freed.
"We don't put them in Abu Ghraib to detain them for a period of time or to detain them until proven innocent," said the spokesman, Brig. Gen. Mark Kimmitt. "They are deemed to be a security threat by a judge through multiple sources of evidence. It's that simple.
"If they were innocent, they wouldn't be at Abu Ghraib," he said.
In interviews, senior Army officers have described senior officers on the staff of Lt. Gen. Ricardo S. Sanchez, the top American commander in Iraq, as having been the major obstacle to releasing prisoners from Abu Ghraib. The officers have said in particular that Brig. Gen. Barbara Fast, the top Army intelligence officer in Iraq, often ruled last fall against the release of prisoners, even against the recommendation of a military police commander and military intelligence officers at the prison.
The report by General Ryder recommended that the final judgments on the release of security prisoners be elevated from the three-person review board in Iraq to the level of an assistant secretary of defense. But American commanders in Baghdad have not announced such a change in procedures.
"The percentage of persons that were released because they've served their time - that percentage is zero," said General Kimmitt when he was asked this week about the reasons for the releases. "The number that were released because they were innocent? That number, too, is zero. Persons are held at Abu Ghraib because they are determined to be security threats, imminent security threats here in country."
Tensions between American officials at the prison, including Brig. Gen. Janis Karpinski, and senior American officers in Baghdad, including General Fast, over the release of prisoners from Abu Ghraib last fall were first described publicly in the investigative report into the abuses by Maj. Gen. Antonio M. Taguba, which emerged last month.

New Honda is powered by hydrogen, not fossil fuels
Bill Miller | June 23, 2008
By Bill Miller • Monday, June 23, 2008 - 10:21
Honda Motor of Japan has launched the world's first hydrogen-powered fuel-cell vehicle intended for mass production.
Although it will make just 200 of its FCX Clarity vehicles over the next three years, Honda plans eventually to increase production, especially as hydrogen filling stations become more common.
And even the small initial run represents progress toward a clean-burning technology many have rejected as too exotic and too expensive to gain wide acceptance.

Hahah, HOLY MOLY!
I picked one hell of a 2 weeks to take a European Vacation!
Not going to lie.. at first I was a little "meh" about the selection of Dwayne Casey .. but you know what ... he's growing on me like a bad mole. I like this guy. Perhpas he's alot of "Say the right thing now" but y'know .. I don't get that. I get that feeling that he's going to be on these guys day and night and I think we're going to see a completely renewed Raptors next season. The effort at one point last season was discouraging to say the least. No way Casey lets that fly.
Jonas, again, I was pretty "meh" on that selection as well, but I think that has more to do with the fact that he was almost the ONLY guy I didn't bother to scout extensively pre-draft. Just didn't think we would take him.
But again, I like his attitude, and I think in a few years, he's going to be something special. Mind you, most of us said the same thing about Bargs and now most of us are eating our words. I think there are ALOT of cards yet to be shown on both sides of the table.
Anyway, I guess with the lockout now in place, things should settle down...
Right as I get back ... wonderdful.
Now I must spend a few hours reading posts to see what kind of drama I missed out on! haha

Muscle function loss is when a muscle does not work or move normally. The medical term for complete loss of muscle function is paralysis.
Paralysis; Paresis; Loss of movement; Motor dysfunction
Loss of muscle function may be caused by:
The loss of muscle function after these types of events can be severe. Often it will not completely return, even with treatment.
Paralysis can be temporary or permanent. It can affect a small area (localized) or be widespread (generalized). It may affect one side (unilateral) or both sides (bilateral).
If the paralysis affects the lower half of the body and both legs it is called paraplegia. If it affects both arms and legs, it is called quadriplegia. If the paralysis affects the muscles that cause breathing, it is quickly life-threatening.
Diseases of the muscles that cause muscle-function loss include:
Diseases of the nervous system that cause muscle function loss include:
Sudden loss of muscle function is a medical emergency. Get medical help right away.
After you have received medical treatment, your health care provider may recommend some of the following measures:
Muscle paralysis always requires immediate medical attention. If you notice gradual weakening or problems with a muscle, get medical attention as soon as possible.
The doctor will perform a physical exam and ask questions about your medical history and symptoms, including:
Time pattern:
Aggravating and relieving factors:
Tests that may be performed include:
Intravenous feeding or feeding tubes may be required in severe cases. Physical therapy, occupational therapy, or speech therapy may be recommended.

If the example of Sears can serve as our guide, Hadoop will become a popular central corporate data repository -- perhaps even the leading data repository eventually. It will take over that role not only because it can handle huge volumes of data more cost effectively than relational databases, but also because it easily ingests varied and complex data without first conforming it to a pre-defined schema, as you have to do when using a database. You can save all your data for the long term and apply schema when you need to use it, rather than imposing a schema before it's loaded onto the platform.
At Sears, Hadoop was first deployed three years ago and it has since become the central hub of all data management activity for the retailer. CTO Phil Shelley tells InformationWeek that Hadoop is giving Sears the flexibility and scale to make use of all the company's data. "We keep all the raw, transactional data, and because there's enough horsepower in Hadoop, you can then transform it into any form you want whenever you want on they fly rather than having to create cubes or aggregations," Shelley explains.
[ Want the inside story on big data plans at Sears? Read Why Sears Is Going All-In On Hadoop. ]
Hadoop has essentially become the enterprise data store at Sears, but that's not quite the same thing as an enterprise data warehouse. The difference is analysis, some of which can be done with the batch, MapReduce processing native to Hadoop. But the retailer is still using relational databases in many situations. InfoBright's columnar database, for example, is used for fast analysis of data aggregations that used to be created -- with much IT time and expense -- as multi-dimensional OLAP cubes. Cube building is now a thing of the past. Instead, fresh data sets are moved from Hadoop into InfoBright on a daily basis.
In another example, Sears' massive Teradata deployment continue to run high-scale, mission-critical analytical applications. "Teradata is still an important platform for us whenever we need a high-speed SQL interface," explains Shelley. "That could be when we're integrating with SAS [analytics] or doing custom analytics with SQL."
That puts Teradata in the role of analytic data mart, however, as opposed to its usual place as the enterprise data warehouse that holds all important data. Nonetheless, Sears is using more Teradata than ever, says Teradata, and perhaps that's because Hadoop enables the retailer to store and retain more data than ever. Sears is now saving data that it used to throw out and it's retaining indefinitely data that it used to keep for only 90 days or two years. More data for analysis brings more analysis.
Lots of Hadoop users share Shelley's perspective on how it can become a central hub for data management -- longtime Hadoop shop JP Morgan Chase started envisioning this role years ago. In fact, at last month's Strata New York event it seemed that the focus on Hadoop has shifted. The questions are no longer "what is Hadoop" and "does it make sense for my company?" People are now asking, "do I have the people I need to run Hadoop," and "how will I analyze and make use of all that information?"
For now, moving boiled-down data sets from Hadoop into existing relational environments will be part of the answer, but that approach involves data-movement delays that plenty of practitioners would like to avoid. "The BI industry has still got its head in the sand mostly because they're all still thinking about moving and copying data," Shelley tells InformationWeek "These vendor need to get their act together and write tools that run natively on Hadoop and don't copy the data and use ETL to move it into their environment."

MIAMI - Video of Justin Bieber made at a South Florida police station after his January arrest shows him walking unsteadily during a sobriety test.
Miami-Dade County prosecutors released about 10 hours of video Wednesday, only a few moments of which depicted Beiber.
[WATCH RAW VIDEO: Part 1 | Part 2]
In one clip, Beiber wavers as he tries to walk heel to toe, then stumbles slightly as he turns and appears to have his arms out for balance.
Attorneys for the 19-year-old singer persuaded a judge to withhold four clips depicting Bieber urinating in a cup for a drug test.
Bieber, whose birthday is Saturday, has pleaded not guilty to driving under the influence, resisting arrest and driving with an expired license after his Jan. 23 arrest in Miami Beach.
The next hearing is scheduled for March 4. The trial, originally set for March 3, was rescheduled to a later date.

Crawford suprisingly has played 19 out of 24 first half minutes. He is 0 for 4 and that suprises me that he hasnt taken more shots. We all know thats what he likes to do. Fact is just because he averages the most points doesnt make him the best player. I get annoyed watching him and your completely forgetting about the fact that he plays no defense at all. To me small victories are when Nate, Lee, and Balkman play good. They are the 3 best players on this team (excluding Marbury). In no way is Jamal the best player on this team. HOw can I get this across to you, do I have to copy and past everything from the 1st page of this thread? I thought Crawford was a better player when he use to come off the bench. He is inconsistent just like the kNicks as a team which is why he shouldnt be playing 42 minutes per game. He would make a good 2nd option off the bench but as a 1st option you want a player who can guarentee you contribution, like David Lee. Crawford is too unpredictable. There are no guarentees with him and it would be foolish to bet on what he will do statistically from one night to the next.
To call Crawford a "bright spot" on a otherwise blighted team is a crime. Nate, Lee, and Balkman are bright spots. Crawford is a chucker. You also mentioned him being "instant offense" off the bench. Again, he is unpredictable. there are no guarentees with him.

Consumers unlikely to benefit in NSW electricity sell-off
If the privatisation of Victoria's grid is any guide, plans by NSW to sell off its electricity networks will not bring lower prices for consumers.
Victoria privatised in the mid-1990s, yet electricity prices continued to rise and have still roughly doubled over the past five years - in both states.
What is most striking about this industry is that, while prices have soared, demand for electricity has fallen. Peak demand has fallen, too. This puts NSW in a predicament.
The government of Mike Baird has neatly tied the sale of the poles and wires to an enticing infrastructure package. But what are the poles and wires really worth?
The state is selling assets whose value is falling, says industry critic and funds manager Bruce Robertson. And rather than taking write-downs on these assets, transmission network operator TransGrid ''plans to double its asset base and increase revenue by 85 per cent over the next five years'' - despite the fall in demand.
Two years ago, Robertson exposed the practice of ''gold plating'' - that is, excessive spending on networks. Thanks to the way the industry has been regulated, the more money the operators spend, the more money they make.
Therefore, the higher their forecasts for demand, the more they can justify their spending.
The agency that does the industry forecasting, Australian Electricity Market Operator, noted in its most recent market commentary that ''electricity consumption was 3.5 per cent lower than forecast for the first quarter of 2013-14. This resulted in AEMO revising its demand forecast down by 1.3 per cent for 2013-14.''
This is par for the course.
Growth forecasts have been consistently overcooked year after year, while demand has fallen across the National Electricity Market by 6.5 per cent since 2009-10.
There are a number of reasons for this, among them the shutting of big industrial plants, the incursion of solar power and the dampening effect of hefty power prices on retail demand.
People are simply using less electricity.
The drop-off in demand has been even more pronounced in NSW than elsewhere.
Annual energy in the state has fallen about 11 per cent since its peak in 2007-08.
The peak coincided with a new regulatory period, 2009 to 2014, in which the electricity companies were allowed the largest spend in history, ostensibly to cope with the forecast rise in peak demand - a rise that never came.
Robertson reckons the growth will not return to the grid, so industry will resort to price rises to countervail the fall in demand.
As for the purported efficiencies of privatisation, costs are on the rise for the next few years, further putting upward pressure on power bills.
''Contrary to TransGrid's claims that it is reducing total capital expenditure by 28 per cent, its regulated asset base is in fact growing - and growing at a handsome rate,'' he told Fairfax Media. ''Between 2013 and 2014, its regulated asset base has grown by over half a billion dollars, or growth in just one year of nearly 10 per cent.
''Off this high base, TransGrid wants to grow its regulated asset base by 3.7 per cent a year.
''In the next five years it wants to add a further $1.2 billion to this asset base. All this growth in a market that is rapidly contracting.''
While demand in NSW had fallen about 9 per cent between 2007-08 and 2012-13, TransGrid's revenue had grown 55 per cent and its regulated asset base (the base of assets on which it earns a regulated return) had grown 61 per cent, Robertson said.
TransGrid claims that it is reducing operating expenditure by $6 million annually but as Robertson points out, operating expenditure is growing.
In the new regulatory period, the five years to 2019, spending is up by 8.7 per cent from the average of the previous period. The latest tactic by industry to pay for its inefficient ways is to change the model for the way in which it charges the customer. The power companies want to move from charging for energy to charging for capacity.
Robertson said this would result in large fixed charges penalising low consumers and rewarding high consumers of electricity.
Along with the transmission assets of TransGrid, the state plans to sell its distribution companies, too, Ausgrid and Endeavour Energy. They, too, have overspent.
The challenge of selling assets against a backdrop of falling demand - and which should be taking write-downs - cannot be underestimated.

Futurists would have us believe there will be no school buildings within the next 50 years. Facilities planners are talking about wireless schools and schools without books, paper, or even walls.
That might not be the case, but there's no question that student learning methods are shaping design trends. Too often, today's schools are built without consideration for growth and change of curriculum development or instructional design. Tomorrow's schools must be adapted to meet individual learning levels.
As you might expect, this raises significant questions for board members and administrators who are in charge of building the "perfect school." Among them: How are emerging educational practices affecting the way we think about school construction? How is the demographic composition of our community changing the way education should be delivered? What are taxpayers willing to support? And finally, how can education be delivered in a more efficient, effective manner?
The good news is that, with today's construction and mechanical capabilities, there is no limit to the adaptability of school facilities. But any facilities plan worth its weight must answer these questions -- and ask some more.Would you like to continue reading? Subscribers please click here to continue reading.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2018
Norman Conquest of 1066. They lived in Suffolk, at Wolverston. The surname Wulferstant was originally derived from the Old English elements wulf, meaning wolf, and tun, meaning settlement or enclosure. The name was originally Wulkton, and gradually evolved into its current form.
Wulferstant Early Origins
Suffolk where they held a family seat as Lords of the Manor of Woolverstone. At the time of the taking of the Domesday Book, [1]CITATION[CLOSE]
Williams, Dr Ann. And G.H. Martin, Eds., Domesday Book A Complete Translation. London: Penguin, 1992. Print. (ISBN 0-141-00523-8) a survey initiated by Duke William of Normandy in the year 1086 A.D. after his conquest of England in 1066, Woolverstone was held by a Norman Noble, Robert Gernon, and as was the Norman custom, the second son adopted the name of the manor or village for his surname. At the survey Woolverstone was a village, with a church, 12 beasts, 30 pigs, 100 sheep and 36 goats. The Church was rebuilt by Sir Gilbert Scott in the 19th century.

Wulferstant Spelling Variations
Wulferstant Spelling Variations
Before the advent of the printing press and the first dictionaries, the English language was not standardized. Sound was what guided spelling in the Middle Ages, so one person's name was often recorded under several variations during a single lifetime. Spelling variations were common, even among the names of the most literate people. Known variations of the Wulferstant family name include Wolferstan, Wolferstone, Wolverstone, Wolverston, Wolversdon, Wolversden, Wolversdan, Wolferston, Woolferstone, Woolverston and many more.

Outstanding amongst the family at this time was Mary Wolverston, better known as Lady Killigrew (c. 1525-1582), a Suffolk woman who was accused of piracy during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. As the story goes, whenever her husband went to sea, Mary engaged in piracy using the staff of her...

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
To escape the political and religious chaos of this era, thousands of English families began to migrate to the New World in search of land and freedom from religious and political persecution. The passage was expensive and the ships were dark, crowded, and unsafe; however, those who made the voyage safely were encountered opportunities that were not available to them in their homeland. Many of the families that reached the New World at this time went on to make important contributions to the emerging nations of the United States and Canada. Research into various historical records has revealed some of first members of the Wulferstant family to immigrate North America: Benjamin Wolverston and Elizabeth Wolverstone who settled in Barbados with their servants in 1679.
