It is sad that Barnard and Jane Hart's son, Samuel died so young. His death was registered by his mother and she is recorded as being present at his death in their home in Gateshead, Durham. Samuel was two years old and died of pneumonia. It paints such a vivid picture in my mind, so emotive. The living conditions must have been horrible, no sanitation, no running water and extremely cramped conditions. Jane must have watched helplessly as her toddler son died, most likely in her arms. This was years before the invention of antibiotics and the national health service. It was expensive to call for the services of a doctor so the decision to call for one would have been a last resort. It's just as well we no longer hear people talk about 'the good old days'. Good for some maybe but not for all.
Was Samuel their only son, I wonder? There is a five year gap between Martha and Samuel so there is a possibility of children who did not survive. Jane and Barnard had, up until Martha in 1844, produced a child every other year. Samuel was the seventh child. If Samuel was Barnard's only son then it is possible that this was also his father's name. Jane's father was John so it is improbable that the name comes from her side. Interestingly I have recently found a Samuel Hart living in Gateshead, a few streets away from Barnard and Jane but they only appear on one census and then are gone. But it gets me thinking. Ah…. onward and upward, as they say.

Sasidharan, S. and Chen, Y. and Saravanan, D. and Sundram, K.M. and Latha, L.Y. (2011) Extraction, isolation and characterization of bioactive compounds from plants' extracts. African Journal of Traditional Complementary and Alternative Medicines, 8 (1). pp. 1-10. ISSN 0189-6016
Download (26kB)
Natural products from medicinal plants, either as pure compounds or as standardized extracts, provide unlimited opportunities for new drug leads because of the unmatched availability of chemical diversity. Due to an increasing demand for chemical diversity in screening programs, seeking therapeutic drugs from natural products, interest particularly in edible plants has grown throughout the world. Botanicals and herbal preparations for medicinal usage contain various types of bioactive compounds. The focus of this paper is on the analytical methodologies, which include the extraction, isolation and characterization of active ingredients in botanicals and herbal preparations. The common problems and key challenges in the extraction, isolation and characterization of active ingredients in botanicals and herbal preparations are discussed. As extraction is the most important step in the analysis of constituents present in botanicals and herbal preparations, the strengths and weaknesses of different extraction techniques are discussed. The analysis of bioactive compounds present in the plant extracts involving the applications of common phytochemical screening assays, chromatographic techniques such as HPLC and, TLC as well as non-chromatographic techniques such as immunoassay and Fourier Transform Infra Red (FTIR) are discussed.

Where Did They Go?
Now, as far as I know, the only children Capt. Mad Jack Percival and his wife adopted were the Lawrence children, his sister Anna Percival Lawrence's children. I do have a Mariah Lawrence and this could be her. Having a hard time proving it, because this is the only mention I have of this couple, no census or anything else.
Oh the joys of genealogical research.
Copyright 2010, ACK for Gene Notes
2 comments:
So, what level of verification is necessary to satisfy a serious genealogist? Because, as an amateur, I would look at that and assume they had just spelled her name wrong, then be on my merry way. Aren't I nice, giving you a post topic? You're welcome.ReplyDelete
Because there is a headstone in Sandwich, Massachusetts with this information:ReplyDelete
In Memory of
who died
in her youth.
And then this note attached.
Maria died November 2, 1844 at age 22 years. She was the daughter of William & Anna Lawrence and niece of Capt. "Mad" Jack Percival. She was the namesake of Mad Jack's wife Maria Pinkerton. Photo and genealogical information supplied by Caryn VanBuskirk Bowles July 2006.
So it is possible that the marriage I found belongs to another niece/adopted daughter.

After posting on twitter last week that I needed something to write a blog post about my good friend Christian Dadswell (Blog|Twitter) suggested I post the queries I wrote for him awhile back to dig him out of hole. Chris has dug me out of many a hole when I have needed advice on vSphere, Chris is a full time vSphere guru and part-time Android developer, which he is very good at. Go and check out his BBC Browse Cast app for yourself. Not having an android phone myself I haven't used his app, he refuses to get involved with Apple products which is a shame but if he gets enough encouragement I'm sure he could be persuaded.
I have posted a query earlier this week that pulled out information from the vCentre database on VMs that had snapshots created on them that are older then 14 days. This was to allow the Sys Admins to find the snapshots before the snapshot got so big they caused issues.
Following on from this we had a bank holiday weekend (a long weekend) and over that weekend one of the physical hosts in the vSphere stack failed. All the VMs running on the physical host HA'd and restarted on the other available physical hosts. Even though the outage was very short Chris wanted to be able to inform the business which servers would have been unavailable and hence which business services would have been affected by the outage. Unfortunately it was not obvious if the vCentre database stores this historical data (if you know otherwise please let me know in the comments) I was unable to find but it does store the current configuration.
Chris wanted to know if there was a way to track, after the event what VMs were running on a particular physical host. In order to capture this information I needed to create table in a database that I could use to store the necessary data, The query to pull out which VM is running on which host is as follows:
SELECT e.NAME AS 'VirtualMACHINE',
h.dns_name AS 'HostName'
FROM vpx_vm vm
INNER JOIN VPX_ENTITY e ON vm.id = e.id
INNER JOIN vpx_host h ON vm.HOST_ID = h.id
ORDER BY vm.HOST_ID
I then created a job to run once a day that ran the above query and inserted the results in the table created. I then developed and SSRS report that allowed a physical host and a date to be selected and the VM's running on the host returned thus the sys admins would have a good idea of what VMs were running at a particular time and solve the above issue of what was running on what and when.
I hope you find this useful, if you have another way of doing this please do let me know in the comments

Is Niall Horan Dating Brazilian Singer Anitta? [PHOTOS]by Thomas Chau | PopCrush
Has One Direction's Niall Horan found a new mate in Anitta, a beautiful singer from Brazil?
According to the Brazilian site ego, the two met at an after party at Hotel Fasano on May 7 and the two partied until 6 a.m. the next morning. Horan then posted the following photo on Instagram with the caption: "@euanitta and myself chillin in rio ! Great girl , good artist !"
Anitta on her own Instagram account posted her own photos with Niall and his bandmate, Harry Styles.
"@niallhoran u r the funniest guy in the world," she says in one photo and jokes about Harry in the other one with, "we don't like each other."
The Brazilian site also says that Anitta was spotted watching the One Direction concert from a special VIP section near the stage.
So who is Anitta? She's a 20-year-old Brazilian singer and dancer who rose to fame with her 2012 single, 'Meiga e Abusada' ('Sweet and Abused'). Her first studio album titled 'Anitta' was released in July of 2013 and has been certified Gold in her country of Brazil already.
What do you think, Directioners? Has Niall found a new partner in crime?

The ePO Software Repository
The McAfee ePO server is the central software repository for all McAfee product installations, updates, and other content. The modular design of ePolicy Orchestrator allows new products to be added as extensions. This includes new or updated versions of McAfee and McAfee-compatible solutions from the Security Innovation Alliance. Packages are components that are checked in to the master repository, and then deployed to client systems. ePolicy Orchestrator also allows for replication to distributed repositories at remote locations for bandwidth optimization.
For McAfee ePO to keep your client systems up-to-date, a repository task that retrieves updates from a McAfee site (HTTP or FTP) was created to run daily at 1:00 am. The steps below show you how to modify the task so that it checks the McAfee update site every 12 hours instead.
Editing the Repository Pull Task
- Click Menu | Automation | Server Tasks.
- In the list, find the task named Update Master Repository and, under the Actions column, click Edit to open the Server Task Builder.
- On the Description page, make sure Schedule status is set to Enabled, then click Next.
- Select Move existing packages to Previous branch, then click Next.
NOTE: Checking this option allows ePolicy Orchestrator to maintain more than one set of signature files. When the task runs next, the current updates are moved to a directory on the server called Previous. This allows you to roll back updates if necessary.
- On the Schedule page, choose when you want ePolicy Orchestrator to check the McAfee site for updates.
- Schedule the task to run Hourly, with No End Date.
- Set Schedule to every 12 hours.
- Click Next.
- On the Summary page, click Save. The console returns to the Server Tasks page.
You can set any update schedule you desire. There are generally two approaches — the standard approach similar to that described above, and a more advanced methodology to use if you are required to test signatures (DATs) on a subset of your systems prior to deployment to the remainder of your population. The standard approach is appropriate for most evaluations. Information on the advanced approach is detailed in the white paper Validating DAT and Other Content Files with McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator located on the McAfee Customer Portal.
Systems and the System Tree
The ePolicy Orchestrator System Tree organizes managed systems in units for monitoring, assigning policies, scheduling tasks, and taking actions. These units are called groups, which are created and administered by Global Administrators or users with the appropriate permissions. Groups may contain both systems and other groups. As shown in the graphic below, the installer created a sample system tree during setup.
Three groups were created under the default My Organization group; Laptops, Servers, and Workstations. The Servers group also has several subgroups for different server types based on function or role. These sample groups were created for your convenience. You are not required to use them, but they are referenced in the instructional exercises that follow. If you wish to test system & group creation through Active Directory, detailed steps are provided in the McAfee Quick Tips video Active Directory Synchronization in ePO.
Adding Systems to your System Tree Groups
If you chose Automatic Discovery of systems during the installation, use the following steps to organize your test systems in the System Tree. If you did not select Automatic Discovery, skip to the following task, entitled Adding Systems Manually.
Systems Added with Automatic Discovery
- Click the System Tree button on the favorites bar.
- Click on the My Organization group on the left. The systems are displayed on the right.
- If there are any systems discovered that you do not want to be included in your testing, you can remove them from the tree. Place a check in the box next to all the systems you want to remove (you can use Shift+Click to select more than one), click Actions | Directory Management | Delete, and then click OK. You do NOT need to check the box for Remove Agent on Next Agent-to-Server Communication.
- Drag and drop the remaining systems to their appropriate groups. You can drag multiple systems by placing a check mark by each first. A dialog box will appear asking "Are you sure you want to move the system(s)?". Click OK. You can check the box if you do not wish to see this dialog in the future.
Adding Systems Manually
- In the System Tree, highlight the Workstations group and click System Tree Actions | New Systems.
- For How to Add Systems, select Add systems to the current group, but do not push agents.
- For Target Systems, type the NetBIOS name for each system in the text box, separated by commas, spaces, or line breaks. You can also click Browse to select systems.
- Verify that System Tree sorting is disabled.
- Click OK.
- As needed, repeat these steps to add any servers to your Laptops or Servers group or its subgroups.
There are several methods of organizing and populating the System Tree:
- Manually structure your System Tree by creating your own groups and adding individual systems.
- Synchronize with Active Directory or NT domain as a source for systems. In the case of using Active Directory, synchronization mirrors AD and automatically provides System Tree structure.
- Create your own groups and sort based on IP ranges or subnets. This is called criteria-based sorting.
- Import a text file of groups and systems.
Note: Please proceed to Installing the McAfee Agent software and Configuring Dashboards before your individual product review. This will insure a smooth experience for your trial.

This was a quick go to dinner for the family. Pretty simple, just saute up some veggies add a little crumbled tofu and Wa-La, you got yourself a stuffing for pretty much anything, I looked in my cupboards and had a box of oven ready cannelloni noodles, and in my freezer a tomato sauce that I made a few weeks ago. Which made me happy:)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion- small diced
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1/2 red pepper- small diced
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 3/4 block of tofu-crumbled
- 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 3 tbsp nutritional yeast
- sea salt
- freshly ground pepper
- tomato sauce
- oven ready cannelloni noodles
In a saute pan, heat oil add onion and garlic saute for 3-4 minutes, add pepper and broccoli,saute until softened, add tofu, deglaze with balsamic, add yeast and season.
Stuff into shells.
In a baking pan pour a little of the tomato sauce on the bottom, place stuffed shells in the pan, pour tomato sauce over top. Cover with foil and bake at 375 for 45 minutes.

Manufacturing Business Profile: Pitman Building Kitchens and Pitman Restaurant Equipment
Pitman Restaurant Equipment has been a fixture in the Central Eastside for decades. Owners Dan and Jason Pitman have been "doing kitchens" for 28 years and boast several locations in Southeast Portland. The latest addition to their suite of food-related businesses is the Pitman Building, a new type of industrial building at SE 3rd and Clay, with six commercial kitchens and nine small office spaces above. Because of the industrial zoning, the office spaces must be primarily used by the kitchen tenants or other industrial businesses.
Open since early 2013, the Pitman Building's kitchen spaces are fully occupied by commercial food production companies with 3 to 10 employees each, including Aybla Mediterranean Grill and Artemis Foods. Based on this success, Dan Pitman has embarked on another project: rehabbing an old warehouse building on SE Water Avenue to accommodate three more commercial kitchens and office space on the second floor.
Pitman says the businesses that rent his kitchens ". . . tend to be start-ups and/or caterers, food carts and wholesale food producers that sell to Whole Foods and New Seasons — places that like to buy local."
All of these businesses plan to grow, Pitman notes, and to that end he provides some marketing support. Ratagast cat food (fresh frozen cat food), for example, was a tenant and is now a national brand.
He originally located his restaurant supply business in the district because of the central location, and Dick's Restaurant Supply (now Rose's) offered "some friendly competition." They often refer customers to one another. "The area works," states Pitman "because a lot of the businesses here serve Downtown, and access to the freeway isn't too bad."
But freight and parking are issues. Getting the big trucks in and out of the area can be challenging, and Pitman speculates that it will probably get worse. Tenants and employees buy monthly parking permits to free up their parking lot for deliveries and customers, but on-street parking is becoming scarce.
"Ultimately, though, I think the change in the district is positive," he says. "Change is good."
This is the fifth installment of a blog series aimed at exploring the past, present, and future of the Central Eastside. To learn more about the businesses of the Central Eastside and the planning efforts for the district, read the Central Eastside Reader and visit the SE Quadrant Plan calendar to learn about future events.

Pushing The Boundaries In Romance
Word on the street is that you need to write a middle-of-the-road story to attract readers. Get a lot of sales. Totally makes sense.
You don't want to lean too far to the right, too far to the left.
You want to make your characters likable, redeemable.
You need to make them relatively attractive. So folks want to read about these characters doing the horizontal lambada and not totally freak out.
You need to color within the lines. The romance lines. Young people, attractive people, dealing with issues like coming-of-age, overcoming trauma, family stuff. This is all perfectly acceptable.
But what if...what if...
You chucked all convention?
What if you decided to do the OPPOSITE? Would you sell any books?
What if you made your characters old. Older than I've ever seen in a traditional romance novel.
In their 60s. Hmm.
What if a character was rude, politically incorrect to an extreme, chain-smoked, was borderline alcoholic, and swore like a drunken sailor?
Would consumers want to read about him?
What if a character was uptight, a busybody, sexually-repressed, a judgmental know-it-all, and had been crushed by a cheating, unappreciative husband for forty years?
I don't know.
That's the real answer.
I don't know what will happen.
I took a big risk and colored WAY outside the lines.
This book is NOT a traditional romance. It's a love story. About real, flawed people.
I don't know what's going to happen.
But I do know that I had a great time writing this book.
It isn't exactly a romance, according to the genre parameters. But it is still a love story. And it's still romantic.
Does that makes sense?
APPLES SHOULD BE RED is now available at Amazon (ebook) for $1.99. It will be available later in the week at B/N and Kobo. And within the month it will be released in print, too.
Here's the purchase link at Amazon: APPLES SHOULD BE RED
If you decide to take a chance and read about Tom and Bev, let me know. I want to hear your feedback, good and bad. Something tells me you'll be cheering for this couple by the end of the story.
Happy Day,

Carmella Elizabeth Pumphrey Barber wants me dead for nothing, she alway got in my face and told me anybody do anything against her and make her mad she told me she will retaliate but when her husband Nelson Reed Barber always did cheat on her with other women at the same time he always went on with the other women while he did purchase a lot of clothes for those women and I am not responsible for what really did happen in 1956 when I was born at Privadence Hospital in Chicago, IL and Carmella Barber and her own siblings did tell me they do not have people in their family with ALBINISM AND THAT IS AN INHERITED GENETIC CONDITION BY BIRTH AND FAMILY. SOMETHING IS SERIOUSLY WRONG SOMEWHERE, DID THAT WOMEN TAKE ME AWAY FROM MY BIOLOGICAL MOTHER. WHY DO CARMELLA BARBER REALLY HATE ME FAR TOO MUCH, ESPECIALLY WHEN I WAS BORN AN INNOCENT CHILD I WAS NOT DIFFERENT THAN NO OTHER CHILD WHO WAS BORN INNOCENT, THIS WHOLE FAMILY POSSES A REAL SERIOUS THREAT TO ME AND MY CHILDREN'S AND FAMILY SAFETY, THIS FAMILY WAS FAR WORST THAN A SERIOUS CONFLICT AND THAT IS ALL I EVER SAW, THAT IS HOW I WAS ALWAYS TREATED BY THEM BLACK RACIST SO-CALLED FAMILY ? I was not ever accepted in this family, the people treated me like an outcast and an out sider. They should not have forced me to dye my hair brown and wear brown hair wigs. Carmella Barber gave me these 3 wigs in 2010, she did not tell me the reason why she gave me the brown hair wigs and she suddenly stopped talking to me and she cut off communication with me. the family people do not have me listed with the family people at all, it is like I was never even born, the people did targeted me for several years and the people always called me racist derogatory names, the people called ALBINO, THE WHITE B, YELLOW B, MOSTLY ALBINO AND WHITE B WORD. IN NOVEMBER 2010 ON THANKS GIVING DAY, she knew I was coming from the far N side of the city way in advanced before that day came. I called her telephone before I left my home she did give me the ok to come over, and when I came with in 8 blocks of her address, she told me to go back home with the Thanks Giving Dinner after I came all the way from the far other side of the city I and my family went back home for our safety and she was never right with me, but she don't talk to me, this is not nothing new. I don't have to wear this my true hair color is blonde and I am very proud to wear my hair blonde

Child Abuse Child Endangerment I will not forget when the so-called mother step people Ralph James in laws Willie Morgan wanted me to let them take my son Alexander to a hotel when he turn 18 years old and I did not go along with that because that was a set up they are the people who did tell me I can wait in the front while Alexander is in a hotel room no I did not go along with that because Carmella E Barber step people were going to kill my son Alexander in that hotel room and dispose of my son and the so-called mother did tell me her sister Clara Pumphrey Noonie she always wanted to isolate me off somewhere she used me too and she did show me a gun while I was in her house in late July 1976 that is the same year I graduated from Calumet High School but Carmella Barber sister never had nothing to do with she waited util I graduated in 1976 and suddenly she and her sister who did drag me in this so-called racist black family they both got together just to put me right in the path of Clara Pumphrey Noonie who was in a mental institution and she did pick a nasty dangerous fight for nothing, I did not do nothing to Clara Pumphrey then I had left her house it was really late and it was poring down rain and her son Edward Pumphrey came out his bed room to get me to his bed room to get me out of harms way because his mother Clara did pick and start a dangerous fight with me and she did try to slap me in my face fornothing I did not do to her that was very dangerous and Noonie is a dangerous racist she don't like Albino either I know because I have Albinism and this family is down right viciously angry at me I know that they are. Three years later in February 1979 It was told Edward Pumphrey comitted suicide with a hand gun.My grandmother did tell me that Clara used to one of the James brothers and Clara was married to a man named Willie and someone cut his throat in a hotel room and he was killed in a hotel room and when Clara tried to collect the social security benefits they did not give her the benefits because Willie was a married man he was already married to another women he committed bigamy this is what my grandmother Carmella Pumphrey McCoy did tell me when I was living in her home after the so-called parents put me out of the home on the streets of Chicago, Illinois they evicted me because they did not want AN ALBINO CHILD IN THEIR HOME. THEY WERE VERY MEAN, EVIL AND VERY HOSTILLY CRUEL TO ME AND THEY ALL DO TREAT BOTH MY SONS Alexander and Vincent the same they always been very down right narcissistically, hostile and cowardly criminal with me and my kids.
What Do Everybody In The Family Got Against Me.
Carmella's mother in law Rose thought she was an
albino. them family people said they do not have albinism in the so-called
parents family. professionals said that albinism is an inherited genetic
condition. Those people they picked on me repeatedly for several years and they
tortured and harassed me for several years. they would not let me work a decent
paid job so that I can support myself and can take care of they kidnapped me
and they used me and they trashed me and they trashed my children too. They
said I stank but they took my money away from me and it has been this way my
entire life and one time I had a paid office job, no typing required only just
filing work; the same day I started work there after lunch the supervisor told
me I can go home now and I don't have to come back and later when I went home,
I was still living in the parent's house; a family member told me after I got
back home she told me she called the job to see how I was doing but she should
have waited till I got home so I can tell her all about the job and tell her
about the day. You don't ever call someone's job when they just got started on
a new job.my whole entire life I had trouble obtaining the decent career that I
always wanted to get and with a decent salary they blocked me from it and they
all treated me like an outcast and an outsider. they don't treat me like I'm no
relative at all. that is very strange. everybody else think that is very
strange too and why everybody keep picking on me like that and why they keep
picking on my children
Child Abused and Criminally Manhandled
All everybody did was blame me for things that was the grown adults fault and for things that they did and they been doing me like for many years, my who entire life and I been sick and tired of being accused of all kinds of misdeeds, they just didn't want me for their daughter maybe because I'm not their daughter then where did the people get me from? then why did they pick on me with all kinds of racist derogatory name callings, This family never took the time with me, they never did allow me to participate in family affairs they really left me out of all family affairs and I was not allowed to have any say, no kind of choices and the people on Carmella E Pumphrey Barber side of the family they did not even invite me to none of their family reunions and they dud have family reunions they did always left me out because I was not nothing to them, and the people on Nelson Reed Barber side of the family those people never did take the time with me either and Carmella E Barber isolated me from the world it gotten started when I was only an innocent small child and I was my school education was interrupted and I was out of school for nearly three year, I was in kindergarten they pulled me out of school, and I returned at age 7½ years of age and all they did was teased me, picked on me and they often did make fun of me along with the derogatory name callings and I was forced to flee several living addresses where I was living and I did mind my own personal business there and I did not bother no damn bother where I did live at all those addresses, I was not no trouble maker I was not like that and they did tried to break in my apartment and the home that I purchased several years ago and the so-called family people never wanted nothing to do with me no way I know that and they know that too that is why they don't communicate with me and most people do find that really strange the people who took me in their family full of hateful black people who really hate me who do have Albinism and that is what they did often called me from my early childhood all the way right into my age in my 50″s I was really used as a distraction to what was really going on right behind my back and they never came to check on me to see how I was doing the so-called mother didn't come to see about me either just like her husband didn't come to see abut me the so-called siblings didn't come to see about me either, that includes no aunt, no uncle, no female cousin, and no male cousin that is why so many people do think it is so strange for a family to be that criminally hateful against me all the way from my early childhood, the bias hate crimes did not stop because they do not want to stop the people are not leaving me alone, the people will not leave my children alone either, they are not going to stop, no they are not going to stop Patricia Barber Metcalf is looking to keep on f***ing with me, my son Alexander and Alexander's children, my grand children , Alexander's grandchildren, my son Vincent and Vincent's children, my grandchildren, Vincent's grandchildren we don't have a life like this.
A Child Abuse Story
I really don't understand this so-called family black people who dragged me in this family I don't like the way they treated me, I have Albinism an inherited genetic condition by birth, after several years of being horrendously tortured by several so-called family members and the unjustified abuses and hatred against me, they are very superstitious black family who do got something against me who have Albinism, after several years unfair and unprovoked abuses and they called me all kinds of racist derogatory names and they did all kinds of criminal horrific things to me and they broke my heart some doctors got in my face and told me that I HAD A HEART ATTACK AND I DID NOT DESERVE NOT ONE DAMN CRIMINAL INCIDENT AND THEY USED ME FOR THEIR OWN PERSONAL GAIN, AND SOME OF THE PEOPLE ON THE SO-CALLED MOTHER CARMELLA E BARBER SIDE SOME OF HER PEOPLE TOLD ME THEY DON'T HAVE PEOPLE IN THEIR FAMILY WITH ALBINISM AND THAT IT JUST HAPPENS THAT IS A LIE, ALBINISM IS INHERITED BY BIRTH, I DON'T APPRECIATE THE CRIMINAL PUNISHMENT THIS SO-CALLED DONE TO ME AND MY CHILDREN, THEY DID MAKE ME AND MY CHILDREN'S LIFE A PURE LIVING HELL. I AM NOT A WITCH DON'T CALL ME NO DAMN WITCH AND MY CHILDREN MY SONS ARE NOT NO WARLOCK DON'T CALL MY TWO SONS NO GOT DAMN WARLOCK THAT IS REALLY CRIMINAL THEY ARE NOT BETTER THAN ME AND THEY ARE NOT BETTER THAN MY TWO SONS WHO ARE THEM PEOPLE TO JUDGE ME AND WHO ARE THOSE PEOPLE TO JUDGE MY TWO SONS, WE ARE BETTER THAN THEY ARE. WE ARE NOT WITCHES, WARLOCKS AND CRIMINALS AND WE DON'T STEAL FROM OTHER PEOPLE.
Between Oct and Nov 1980 on L and M street, there was a fire in a can behind my kitchen door, and I minded my own business there.
Nelson's mother Rose who hated her daughter in law Carmella died January 1-1981 on NEW YEARS DAY. SHE DIED AT AGE 65. the same year.
Spring 1981 on South Lytle street a subsidized apartment, things looked ok for a while, till suddenly, someone tampered with the locks it was fixed, I had to change phone number and there was rocks pelted and balls bounced on my windows for no apparent reason and I minded my own business there too in May 1981 it gotten worst so I moved out.
1988 was the old address by the beach on West Pratt Blvd, one day June 7 1988 someone went in the basement and they cut only just my telephone wire, repairs told me that only my line was cut and I had just moved to this section 8 apartment in May 1988 and I minded my own busuiness there too. how can that program help? and I also need a support group and some mentoring and to help me get back on my feet; It was a total lost and I am not financially on my feet yet and where I am living the public aide dept will not even give me a medicaid card no matter what. maybe because I been used.
In Milwaukee WI
Spring 1994 I was in a first time home buyers program and October 31-1994 I closed on a home located at 2144 N 40th street Milwaukee WI 53208, January 1995 my garage was marked up and June it was broken into June 1995 and July 28-1995 the garage was sat on fire I called 911 and November 8-1995 a car was set on fire by the garage, made it on fire again and SOME BODY SAT A BOMB ON MY CAR GARAGE. January 19-1996, the day before Clara's birthday A BOMB WAS REMOVED FROM MY ROOF AND EVERY BODY HAD TO EVACUATE FROM THE AREA I did mind my own business there too and I did not bother anyone there. I taken out a 30 year mortage on this home I lived there only just ! year and 10 months and I couldn't take the abusive stress anymore and my family is disabled and they don't need any of that kind of abuse.
I Am At A Lost Serious Disadvantage.
What to do when people put the problems on you like the family people did put against me how do you get them people off you, and how do you get all them people out of your business when they do get your business that did happen to me that is not funny. that really did put me at a serious disadvantage.

contracture is a joint abnormally bent by shortened
soft tissues in and around the joint. The shortened tissues pull the bone out
of normal position. A contracture may develop in a joint affected by
juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). Because of the
effectiveness of today's treatments, your child probably will not develop
contractures. But if a contracture does develop, treatment may include
splints and physical therapy.
Surgery is rarely used to treat
JIA. But it is sometimes used to release contractures of at least moderate
severity that have not responded to other treatments. Surgery is sometimes
needed to restore motion, especially for hip and knee contractures that
interfere with walking.
One procedure used is soft tissue releases
of contractures, which involves cutting the muscles attached to an abnormally
bent joint. As the muscles and other shortened tissues are released, the
affected joint can return to a more normal position.
Goals of soft
tissue releases of contractures include:
Casts are usually used for several weeks after contracture
releases of the knee, followed by physical therapy and nighttime splinting.
This procedure often relieves the contracture and pain associated with it and
makes it easier for the child to move the joint.
Physical therapy
after a soft tissue release is essential to benefiting from the
procedure. For this reason, children must be at least 6 years old to be
considered for this surgery.

Since opening in Loehmann's Plaza eighteen years ago, Chef Allen's Restaurant has raked in prestigious dining awards the way most of us accumulate bills: rated "best restaurant in South Florida" by Gourmet magazine, voted "best food in Miami" in the 2003 Zagat, winner of Wine Spectator's Award of Excellence, recipient of four stars from Mobile Travel Guide, four diamonds from AAA, and four of whatever-else-goes-one-to-four. Chef/owner Allen Susser has, on a personal level, achieved national recognition as one of the founders of New World cuisine, and further flamed that fame with a trio of well-received cookbooks: New World Cuisine and Cookery, The Great Citrus Book, and The Great Mango Book. It is safe to say that no chef is more closely associated with the mango, not even other members of the so-called "mango gang," than is Mr. Susser. Surprisingly, there are not that many mangoes on his menu.
Allen contends that there are three essential components to every recipe: techniques, ingredients, and the cook. The food at his restaurant succeeds precisely because of its detailed attention to this triad. Techniques are based soundly in the classical mode, with emphasis on summoning freshness and clarity of flavors. Ingredients are cross-culturally connected to landscapes linked by their tropicality -- Latin America, Pacific Rim, Caribbean, and Mediterranean (Allen now calls his food "Palm Tree Cuisine"). And the cook, or in this case "cooks," are an obviously skillful lot led by executive chef Craig Berkower. You can observe them at work through a 25-foot-wide smoked glass window in the main dining room. Chef Allen can also be glimpsed orchestrating matters in the kitchen, but you'll likely get a closer look during one of his forays to the front of the house.
I hadn't been to Chef Allen's in quite some time, and was a little taken aback to see it looking as it did on my last visit. On that occasion I had brought a friend from out of town, one who was keyed into the national restaurant scene enough to have heard about the place before coming down. I remember the incredulous look on his face as he surveyed the room, turned to me, and said, "This is Chef Allen's?"
Chef Allen's Restaurant
19088 NE 29th Ave (off Biscayne Boulevard), Aventura
Open for dinner daily, Sunday through Thursday 6:00 to 10:00 p.m., Friday and Saturday 6:00 to 11:00 p.m. Call 305-935-2900.
My friend had apparently been expecting the sleek, contemporary design so prevalent in widely recognized urban dining establishments. Instead Chef Allen's exuded, and still does, a decidedly Old World ambiance, which was, and still is, perplexing for a place that specializes in New World cuisine. Something else hasn't changed much: During that initial visit, the flowers on our table were gasping their final breaths. This time around the flowers could be described as "livelier" only in the way the Pope is livelier than Bob Hope.
While I find the room a bit dowdy, others think it just dandy -- particularly the older, more distinguished patrons who make up part of the clientele here. Regardless of taste in such matters, the space is comfortable to a noteworthy degree, with cushy chairs and large tables spaced generously apart. Two computer screens sitting on a shelf facing the main dining room, upon which the Chef Allen logo relentlessly blinks, represent an unwelcome distraction.
We were started out with a ceramic canister of extra-long bread sticks and a dish of Chef Allen's famous mango ketchup. It's a great tasting product, but I find it too barbecue-sauceish a startup for so sophisticated a restaurant. Butter is provided for those who agree, and fresh slices of olive, sourdough, and fruit and nut breads are served as well.
Chef Allen's classic dishes have been appropriated by so many restaurants that his originally original ideas don't seem as fresh anymore. Until, that is, you bite into them, at which point you realize that Susser makes them much better than anybody else. Turks and Caicos's baby conch ceviche is stunning and pristine, brightly surrounded by snappily acidic yellow gazpacho and a mini scoop of invigorating cucumber sorbet tucked into a cumin-flecked wafer. It's the perfect appetizer for a sultry evening, which is, after all, the very idea behind indigenous dining -- we eat mangoes, Eskimos eat whale blubber, and everyone's body temperature remains in sync. Or something like that.
Too often restaurants try to make foie gras portions look larger by serving two skinny discs, but Chef Allen's plunks down one thick, compact, crisply seared piece, thus retaining the meltingly moist properties of the meat. A marmalade of mango and candied onions, an impeccably browned round of pancetta, and a freshly toasted brioche point supported the foie gras with a pleasing confluence of flavors. Less successful was a salad of wild greens tossed with red and yellow tomato wedges and assorted nuts and berries (straw, rasp, and blue) in a bland roasted lemon vinaigrette that lacked the assertiveness necessary for pulling such uncommon bedfellows together.
Chef Allen's wine list is so broad and exceptional as to be virtually unvilifiable by vinophiles of even the most critical nature. "Wine flights" are available for $45 per person, though the waitstaff is well enough versed in the grapes they're selling that they can be quite helpful if you choose to fly on your own. Service was, overall, polished and professional, though at one point our waiter got caught up taking a large table's orders, leaving us stranded with no manager on the floor to come to our rescue. When the waiter finally made it over, he politely apologized for the delay.

More proof that the original is always better than the remake came via the now omnipresent Floribbean standard: pistachio-crusted black grouper. The fillets were sparkling fresh, the nut crust crunchy and firm, and the smart adjoiners a fricassee of succulent rock shrimp, sweet bursts of mango and leek, and an ethereally delicious coconut rum sauce. Sauces are a Susser strength, whether it be the sumptuous vanilla beurre blanc lifting a rich Bahamian lobster and crab cake, or classic reductions smoothly steeped in deep, full flavors derived from professionally prepared stocks -- like the luxurious foie gras sauce draping roast garlic-painted filet mignon, or the sacred pool of Zinfandel-kissed demi-glace in which Dijon-crusted lamb chops marry a portobello goat cheese strudel.
Mustard sauce, once a staple of restaurants everywhere, has gone the way of fondue in recent years, but when you taste how well it complements a big, lush veal chop you'll wonder why it ever disappeared. The juicy chop arrived propped upon a sublimely executed pine nut risotto, a tangle of wild mushrooms completing the heartily rewarding repast.
Pastry chef Jennifer Brown puts out a textbook crème brûlée, and adds doodads like a chocolate-coconut truffle and buttery biscotti. Still $11 seems steep for even as deft a version as this, especially since the nightly soufflé, for two people, costs $16 -- on one occasion a roasted peach and Grand Marnier version sporting a voluminous golden cap that spouted steam as the waiter poured in a shot of crème anglaise.
The Kit Kat bar dessert is still as richly chocolatey, hazelnutty, and gimmicky as ever, lifted by an orange mint sauce and mini scoop of potent espresso. I am aware that small scoops of ice cream are in vogue, but I want a portion big enough that I can't put the whole thing in my mouth at once and still be able to talk coherently (or at least as coherently as usual). As it turned out, it was more difficult to enunciate with the ball of ice cream tucked into my cheek than I had supposed, but I did manage to blurt out (of the blue) a short declaration to those at my table: "Four scoops!" Rather ambiguous, as no one was quite sure whether it meant I wanted three more scoops of ice cream, I thought the restaurant deserved four of whatever-goes-one-to-four, or I was a bit batty from too much wine. In fact it was all of the above.

Worst experience ever. Ordered on 16/08/2017 and estimated ship date was 21/08/2017, it's 06/09/2017 now and there is still no info when item will be shipped. Tried to contact pixels.com twice via contact form, no answer. Charger supposed to be gift for my father's birthday on 09/09/2017 but you managed to ruin it. Since I tried to contact You via contact form, and got no result. I hope that you'll read this comment and return me my money, since you failed to deliver product which is now useless to me because you weren't able to provide any info for couple of weeks

I bought this for my sister who is graduating soon. She spends a lot of time on her cell phone, and I thought this would be a personal and usefu giftl. The image is a bit dark but over all nice quality. The charger came with some charge (blue light came on). It looks easy to use, and I'm eager to see how my sister likes it!

Tyson Apostol (29)
Timbira Tribe
Hometown: Lindon, Utah
Occupation: Professional Cyclist
Witty, charming and arrogant is how Tyson Apostol describes himself. This former pro-cyclist and swimmer believes that his natural athleticism, combined with his "life of the party" personality, will get him far in he game. His favorite movie is "The Jerk" and that's how some people just might describe him.
He compares his game strategy to that of some of the most entertaining castaways to ever play the game. Much like them, he is willing to do almost anything to win one million dollars, including implementing the use of lies and deceit to feed off the "emotional weakness" of the other castaways. A Brigham Young University drop-out, he is actually very well traveled and skilled in street smarts, previously spending two years in the Philippines as a Mormon missionary, in addition to six years as a cyclist in Switzerland, Belgium and Austria.
In many ways Tyson can be brash, egotistical and unapologetic but, oddly enough, he has no tolerance for "know-it-alls" or individuals who lack common courtesy. In addition to, as he describes it, "looking awesome," his favorite hobbies are exercising and sunbathing. If he becomes the next sole SURVIVOR, he plans to use all of the money for selfish purposes, starting with "the most smoking motorcycle around."
Tyson currently resides in Heber City, Utah and his birthday is June 17.

PORTSMOUTH — Over 300 fans crowded The Page Thursday night to meet Boston Celtics starting point guard, Rajon Rondo.
This was Rondo's first visit to The Page, but not the first time The Page hosted a sports celebrity. Boston Bruins' Milan Lucic was at the bar in February, Tim Wakefield from the Red Sox came in June and Patriots star Rob Gronkowski visited in July.
Rondo was in Portsmouth thanks to New England Picture, a memorabilia company that also hosts celebrity autograph sports events with New England pro-athletes.
"We have formed a relationship with New England Picture, as you can tell, with all of the memorabilia around the bar," Ted Mountzuris, owner of The Page, said.
Mountzuris said starting this year, they are bringing a player from each Boston sports team to the bar every year. When they asked for a Celtics player, they were given Rondo.
"Rondo is a good influence for younger people," Mountzuris said. "He is a person kids look up to and they can relate to."
Rondo arrived at the bar at approximately 7:20 p.m., coming through an emergency exit door and maneuvering through the crowd before heading up to the second level of The Page, where he was stationed for the autograph signing. He was escorted by bar security.
Eric Slichko, of New England Picture, said Rondo was going to eat before he started signing, leaving fans to wait until a little before 8 p.m. until they could line up to get their basketballs, jerseys and photographs signed. No one seemed to mind, snapping photos on their phones as he walked in and took a seat in a private section of the bar on the second floor.
"We're here because we're both big fans," Caleb Skoglund of Worcester, Massachusetts said. "We follow the team throughout the season, throughout the playoffs."
Skoglund bought two tickets at $69 each to get Rondo's autograph on two photos.
Other fans brought jerseys and basketballs, paying $99 to get them signed.
Twelve-year-old Christian Kenney of Wakefield came with his younger sister and mother to get photos signed of his favorite basketball player, who he said he thinks of when he plays the point during his own basketball games.
"He's a really good point guard. I think he has the most assists in the NBA," Kenney said.
Zack Klidaras' father said his son was rushed when he stepped up to the table to get his photo signed by Rondo. Klidaras came from North Hampton to get a photo of Rondo diving for the ball on home court signed by his favorite player. He said, Rondo didn't say anything to Klidaras and barely looked up.
"He's in the zone," Will Otis said of how Rondo did not communicate with his fans. "But it doesn't matter. As long as he's winning games, he can not talk to me all he wants."
Otis, who is originally from Kentucky, has been a Rondo fan since the Celtics star starting playing in college at the University of Kentucky.
"I brought his college jersey, thinking I could get a reaction out of him. I walked up and said, 'You can always depend on one Kentucky fan finding his way in here.' He smirked," said Otis. "It's okay. He isn't into talking to people, he's into playing ball."
Rondo headed back to Boston after his visit in Portsmouth. The Celtics start their season on Tuesday, Oct. 30.
Rondo signs autographs in Portsmouth tonight
PORTSMOUTH — Over 300 fans crowded The Page Thursday night to meet Boston Celtics starting point guard, Rajon Rondo.

Lexus will unveil a new concept car at the Detroit auto show on Jan. 9, 2012. It was designed by Calty, the company's studio in Newport Beach, Calif. Lexus says the concept showcases the new design direction of the company.
All we can see in the teaser shot is the left side of the front end. It looks to have a little LFA in the design, as well as a bit of Scion FR-S. At any rate, it looks sporty and aggressive, two things Lexus hasn't been known for until recently.
Tell us what you think of--or hope for--the concept in the Comments section below. Check back at autoweek.com closer to the Detroit show for more details.

Lessons Learned from Apple iCloud Hack
This weekend wasn't a good one for journalists online. As PCMag.com reported on Friday, unknown adversaries hacked into the Reuters blogging platform to publish fake news stories. The company also lost control of its Twitter account @ReutersTECH on Saturday.
Wired writer Mat Honan reported on Friday someone had used "clever social engineering" on Apple's iCloud support team and gained control over his email and Twitter accounts. The attacker also remotely wiped his iPhone, iPad, and the MacBook Air.
"Someone gained entry to my iCloud account, used it to remote wipe all of my devices, and get entry into other accounts too," Honan wrote.
We are still waiting breathlessly for Apple to comment or for Honan to give us another update (more likely), but here are some things to keep in mind to minimize damage if a similar incident ever happens to you.
Back Up Your Data
For many people, the cloud is their entire backup strategy. They sync their computer or mobile device to the cloud and pat themselves on the back for being proactive. As academics well know, one form of backup is never enough. My thesis advisor told me if I didn't have at least four copies of my thesis saved on different media and locations, I was courting disaster.
Apple makes it easy, shipping Mac OS X with Time Machine. There are plenty of backup software options for all other platforms, and external hard drives are pretty affordable (check out PCMag.com reviews if you can't decide which to buy). Mobile devices can be backed up onto an SD card. If you are spending over a thousand dollars on your devices, the least you can do is spend another hundred or so for another form of backup. Or use another cloud service to backup your other cloud service.
As one of my colleagues at PCMag.com said, "Be Purposefully Paranoid, and FOR GOD'S SAKE BACK UP!"
iCloud is just the latest incident. Hundreds of users lost their legitimate files when the FBI shut down Megaupload earlier this year. It's clear you can't employ the "sync to the cloud and don't think about it again" mentality anymore.
Don't Link Accounts
Don't link accounts for convenience, whether that's email, Twitter, or across platforms, such as the link between Twitter and Facebook. Gizmodo's Twitter account was briefly compromised because Honan, as a former Gizmodo writer, had linked his account to the one belonging to the publication. It's a pain to keep separate accounts, but otherwise, the attacker just needs to compromise one account in order to get access to all of them.
This applies to keeping work and personal accounts separate, as well. Not only will you never make the mistake of sending a personal message through a work account, you will also make it harder for attackers to get access to corporate data.
Alternate Remote Wipe Product
iCloud is convenient because it allows users to remotely wipe their devices in case they are lost or stolen. In this case, an attacker managed to use it against the user. Paul Ducklin, head of technology for the Asia Pacific group at Sophos recommended using an independent remote wipe service, rather than "relying on one which is part of the cloud offering it aims to protect."
It may seem like a step back to not use some of the features and functionality offered in a cloud service and rely on a non-cloud option instead, Ducklin acknowledged. "The answer is simple: it's your digital life," Ducklin wrote on Naked Security.
And the latest incident highlights how easy it is to lose control of it.
Encrypt Everything That Goes Online
If you lose control of your accounts, the last thing you want to worry about is what information the attacker can access. Encrypt files stored on the cloud, whether it's Dropbox, iCloud, or Google Drive. Use your own encryption key, instead of relying on what the cloud platform offers, since if the attacker has control over your account, it's not difficult for them to get the private key to unlock the files.
"Use the cloud to add some convenience to your digital lifestyle, but make sure that you embrace the cloud. Don't let the cloud embrace you!" Ducklin wrote.

1-year-old suffers serious head injuries
Matthew Wylie, 25, faces felony child abuse charges
A man previously convicted of child abuse is accused of causing a 1-year-old boy's injuries this week.
The Lancaster County Sheriff's Office said the boy's mother took him to Crete Hospital on Wednesday, but the boy was later flown to Bryan/LGH West as a trauma patient.
According to authorities, two separate areas of the child's brain were bleeding internally and he suffered a skull fracture, swelling of the brain and a buckle fracture of his left arm.
Investigators said the injuries happened in Martell, Neb., while the boy was under the care of his mother's boyfriend.
Matthew Wylie, 25, was arrested on suspicion of felony child abuse. The boy's mother, Kayla Jurgensen, 22, was cited on suspicion of child abuse.
Authorities said Wylie is on parole for second-degree assault and child abuse stemming from a 2009 incident at the same location.
Lancaster County Sheriff Terry Wagner said he is frustrated with this case.
"If it had worked properly, the child would not have been living in the home of a convicted child abuser and potentially would not have been injured," Wagner said.
In 2010, Wylie served 18 months for injuring a 3-month-old, who has a different mother, at the same house. He was paroled in October 2011, with the condition he was not supposed to have any contact with any child under the age of 12.
In August, Wagner said Child Protective Services got an anonymous call that Wylie was abusing a boy living in the Martell home.
"There wasn't sufficient evidence, at that point, for us to remove the child. There was no evidence of abuse," Wagner said.
Deputies alerted state parole officials about Wylie potentially violating his parole.
"We can't arrest on a parole violation. Only a parole officer or parole board can revoke someone's parole," Wagner said.
According to police records, Jurgensen told investigators that Wylie has been violent with her son in the past, which includes spanking, ripping him up by his arm and throwing him onto a bed and onto the floor.
Wagner said he believes everyone, including his own department, should take a hard look at why the little boy fell through the cracks.
"Somewhere, something is wrong that needs to be fixed," Wagner said.
Doctors believe the boy's injuries were not caused by accident.
"The injuries were not consistent with a fall or any accidental type of occurrences," Wagner said.
The boy is now in the custody of Child Protective Services.
