This module allows you to build packages that return different variations depending on what parameters are given.
Users of your package will receive a subroutine able to take parameters and return the name of a suitable variant package. The implementation does not care about what kind of package it builds.
Declaring a variable package
There are two important parts to creating a variable package. You first have to give
Package::Variant some basic information about what kind of package you want to provide, and how. The second part is implementing a method receiving the user's arguments and generating your variants.
Setting up the environment for building variations
When you
use Package::Variant, you pass along some arguments that describe how you intend to build your variations.
use Package::Variant
importing => { $package => \@import_arguments, ... },
subs => [ @proxied_subroutine_names ];
The "importing" option needs to be a hash or array reference with package names to be
used as keys, and array references containing the import arguments as values. These packages will be imported into every new variant, and need to set up every declarative subroutine you require to build your variable package. The next option will allow you to use these functions. See "importing" for more options. You can omit empty import argument lists when passing an array reference.
The "subs" option is an array reference of subroutine names that are exported by the packages specified with "importing". These subroutines will be proxied from your declaration package to the variant to be generated.
With "importing" initializing your package and "subs" declaring what subroutines you want to use to build a variant, you can now write a "make_variant" method building your variants.
Declaring a method to produce variants
Every time a user requests a new variant a method named "make_variant" will be called with the name of the target package and the arguments from the user.
It can then use the proxied subroutines declared with "subs" to customize the new package. An "install" subroutine is exported as well allowing you to dynamically install methods into the new package. If these options aren't flexible enough, you can use the passed name of the new package to do any other kind of customizations.
sub make_variant {
my ($class, $target, @arguments) = @_;
# ...
# customization goes here
# ...
When the method is finished, the user will receive the name of the new package variant you just set up.
Using variable packages
After your variable package is created your users can get a variant generating subroutine by simply importing your package.
use My::Variant;
my $new_variant_package = Variant(@variant_arguments);
The package is now fully initialized and used. You can import the subroutine under a different name by specifying an
as argument.
Dynamic creation of variant packages
For regular uses, the normal import provides more than enough flexibility. However, if you want to create variations of dynamically determined packages, you can use the "build_variant_of" method.
You can use this to create variations of other packages and pass arguments on to them to allow more modular and extensible variations.
These are the options that can be passed when importing
Package::Variant. They describe the environment in which the variants are created.
use Package::Variant
importing => { $package => \@import_arguments, ... },
subs => [ @proxied_subroutines ];
This option is a hash reference mapping package names to array references containing import arguments. The packages will be imported with the given arguments by every variation before the "make_variant" method is asked to create the package (this is done using Import::Into).
If import order is important to you, you can also pass the
importing arguments as a flat array reference:
use Package::Variant
importing => [ 'PackageA', 'PackageB' ];
# same as
use Package::Variant
importing => [ 'PackageA' => [], 'PackageB' => [] ];
# or
use Package::Variant
importing => { 'PackageA' => [], 'PackageB' => [] };
The import method will be called even if the list of import arguments is empty or not specified,
If you just want to import a single package's default exports, you can also pass a string instead:
use Package::Variant importing => 'Package';
An array reference of strings listing the names of subroutines that should be proxied. These subroutines are expected to be installed into the new variant package by the modules imported with "importing". Subroutines with the same name will be available in your declaration package, and will proxy through to the newly created package when used within "make_variant".
These are methods on the variable package you declare when you import
Some::Variant::Package->make_variant( $target, @arguments );
You need to provide this method. This method will be called for every new variant of your package. This method should use the subroutines declared in "subs" to customize the new variant package.
This is a class method receiving the
$target package and the
@arguments defining the requested variant.
use Some::Variant::Package;
my $variant_package = Package( @arguments );
This method is provided for you. It will allow a user to
use your package and receive a subroutine taking
@arguments defining the variant and returning the name of the newly created variant package.
The following options can be specified when importing:
use Some::Variant::Package as => 'Foo'; my $variant_package = Foo(@arguments);
Exports the generator subroutine under a different name than the default.
use Some::Variant::Package ();
my $variant_package = Some::Variant::Package->build_variant( @arguments );
This method is provided for you. It will generate a variant package and return its name, just like the generator sub provided by "import". This allows you to avoid importing anything into the consuming package.
Package::Variant METHODS
These methods are available on
Package::Variant itself.
my $variant_package = Package::Variant
->build_variant_of($variable_package, @arguments);
This is the dynamic method of creating new variants. It takes the
$variable_package, which is a pre-declared variable package, and a set of
@arguments passed to the package to generate a new
$variant_package, which will be returned.
use Package::Variant @options;
Sets up the environment in which you declare the variants of your packages. See "OPTIONS" for details on the available options and "EXPORTS" for a list of exported subroutines.
Additionally to the proxies for subroutines provided in "subs", the following exports will be available in your variable package:
install($method_name, $code_reference);
Installs a method with the given
$method_name into the newly created variant package. The
$code_reference will be used as the body for the method, and if Sub::Name is available the coderef will be named. If you want to name it something else, then use:
install($method_name, $name_to_use, $code_reference);

Volvo Trucks' U.S. Dealer Network Strengthens Support Capacity in the Southeast
Investments by Volvo Trucks dealers throughout the Southeastern U.S. have resulted in a nearly 21 percent increase in work capacity in that region since January 2010.
During this time, the dealer network has added 214 truck service bays and 230 Volvo-certified technicians. Parts inventory has grown by more than 20 percent.
"We're quite pleased with the high level of engagement and extensive investments made throughout our dealer network," said Göran Nyberg, president, Volvo Trucks North American Sales and Marketing. "The recent investments signify increasing dealer interest in partnering with the Volvo brand and confidence that the transportation solutions we provide deliver great value for their customers' businesses."
Leading the surge in the Southeast are Vanguard Truck Center in Adairsville, Ga. and Nacarato Volvo in La Vergne, Tenn.
Vanguard Truck Center – Adairsville, Ga.
Vanguard Truck Center recently expanded its footprint in Georgia with the addition of a new full-service dealership in Adairsville. Located off Interstate-75, the easily accessible location serves as a satellite store for Vanguard's primary facility in the Atlanta suburb of Forest Park.
The facility can simultaneously service seven trucks in its oversized bays, which are staffed by six Volvo technicians, three of which are Volvo master technicians. On-site parts inventory in Adairsville now exceeds $200,000, with fast access to the more extensive parts warehouse at the Forest Park location. Vanguard in Adairsville also offers a complimentary pickup and delivery service, so local customers don't have to worry about the transportation of a truck needing service.
"The Adairsville location puts us closer to our customers north of Atlanta, allowing us to provide even better service and expand our reach to new customers," said Mike Youngblood, branch manager at Vanguard Truck Center's Adairsville location.
Nacarato Volvo – La Vergne, Tenn.
The recent opening of a newly constructed full-service dealership marks the latest milestone for the family-owned Nacarato Volvo. Founder Mike Nacarato, Sr. opened the family's original dealership in Nashville, Tenn. in 1976 following more than 15 years as dealer principal of a heavy-duty truck dealership in Indiana. Today, Nacarato's sons Mike Nacarato, president of Nacarato Volvo, and Joe Nacarato, vice president, manage the business.
Located just outside Nashville off Interstate-24, the 80,000 square-foot facility houses 28 service bays staffed by 32 Volvo technicians, including eight Volvo master technicians. To help ensure parts availability and expedite repair, Nacarato Volvo keeps more than $2 million in parts inventory in their warehouse.
"Throughout our company's history we've focused on providing the best possible service to our customers and creating an environment where our employees are happy and well-equipped to be successful in their jobs," said Joe Nacarato. "Our new facility provides our employees a home, built with a service-first mentality to maximize work efficiency."
Nacarato Volvo also features a dedicated body shop with 18 bays and a two-bay paint booth that provides same-day turnaround. Additional features include steam cleaning and wash bays and an FSX Diesel Particulate Filter cleaning system.
Designed with energy conservation in mind, Nacarato Volvo utilizes a heating system that runs on waste oil. The dealership also harvests solar energy through roof-mounted panels on the service and body shops.
Volvo Trucks' dealer network has grown significantly since January 2010. Work capacity has increased 32 percent at Volvo Trucks locations in Texas, resulting in an additional 170 truck service bays, 138 Volvo-certified technicians and a 39 percent increase in parts inventory. Work capacity has also increased at Volvo Trucks dealer locations throughout the Western region of the U.S., growing by nearly 15 percent over the past three years. The expansion includes the addition of nearly 80 truck service bays, 135 Volvo-certified technicians and a nearly 22 percent increase in parts inventory.
Vanguard Truck Center recently opened a new full-service dealership (above) in Adairsville, Ga., located off Interstate-75. The newly built full-service Nacarato Volvo dealership (below) is located off Interstate-24, outside Nashville, Tenn.

Value Line is regarded as the best independent research available. More than just recommendations, Value Line provides the rationale behind its picks for greater understanding.
Where does the company formerly known as Research in Motion go from here? After being a staple of the smart phone industry, BlackBerry (BBRY) is currently facing the hardest challenge in its history; how will it be able to compete against the likes of industry giants, Apple (AAPL) and Google's (GOOG) Android?
When Research in Motion started out, it began offering products, such as pagers before eventually making its way to phones. When the company employed the popular QWERTY keyboard for its phones, these devices tailored to the interests of business-savvy users. It produced software that was simple and easy to use, yet boasted advanced security and flexibility when it came to functions, such as email and instant messaging. Gaining popularity from business users as well as government officials, BlackBerry constructed its own niche in the smartphone world. That was until Apple released the iPhone. In 2010, Steve Jobs, shortly after the release of the iPhone, criticized Research in Motion for failing to adapt to an evolving industry, and said it would be hard for it to catch up now that it was so far behind. RIM stock eventually plummeted; in 2011 it dropped to its lowest point since 2004. The company announced layoffs and budget cuts. As RIM lost market share, Apple's and Android's gained on the market front. The BlackBerry handsets were no longer selling, despite businesses still favoring it, and the operating system (OS) was not built to support the use of applications, which slowly gained popularity.
In comes Thorsten Heins, a new CEO who, in January 2012, refocused the company's image, and decided to spotlight the company's business customers. While the stock continued its decline, efforts to release the new operating system, BlackBerry 10, increased. On January 30th, 2013, the company officially released its new operating system, along with two new handsets, the Z10 and the Q10, in Canada and Europe. While initial response was mostly positive, the stock had little to show for it. In fact, the shares fell shortly after the announcement. That said, international sales remain strong, and demand continues to improve, ahead of most of the U.S releases (T-Mobile began selling the Z10 recently), which is expected to be on March 22nd for the BlackBerry Z10 on AT&T (T - Free AT&T Stock Report), while the Q10 is expected a few months after.
BlackBerry's focus on security and business-based clientele will continue to be its main selling point. Currently, companies such as Samsung are developing handsets with improved security to counter BlackBerry's new offensive. This is a positive sign for the company, as it has initiated some fear in its competitors. Also, some of the more popular features of the phone such as BlackBerry Messaging (BBM) and the LED indicator light on the phones remain. The Q10 has a neat QWERTY keyboard to support its loyal customer base, as well.
As for the newly redesigned software, critics have been fairly positive about it, as its learning curve is easier than the new Microsoft (MSFT - Free Microsoft Stock Report) Windows mobile operating system, with better multitasking ability, while maintaining its strong security features. Although there may be a few bugs, the OS offers a new hope for this product as it looks to gain back some of the market share it has lost. BlackBerry still has its work cut out for it in terms of developing a library of applications as substantial as Apple's AppStore or Android offerings. Currently, Apple and Android loyalists do not see any reason to switch to BlackBerry, and without a mass migration, the company will continue to play third-fiddle to these two companies. However, if BlackBerry focuses on a more global approach, it may gain some ground.
Time can only tell if BlackBerry has what it takes to be a real competitor in this industry, and, as we await for the launch of the Z10 and Q10 smart phones stateside, only then will we be able to see if the company can garner interest from new customers, aside from the loyalists, and corporate and government users who employ it currently. For a more detailed report, including analysis and forecasts on the companies listed above, subscribers should examine our full page reports in The Value Line Investment Survey.

Apple removed controversial "The Third Intifada" app Wednesday — one week after its June 15 release.
Arabic for "shaking off," "The Third Intifada" calls for a third revolt against Israel. The app also includes a social component, which allows users to collaborate and share strategies for violent uprising.
Facebook removed "The Third Intifada" group page from their site in March.
In a Monday letter to Apple CEO Steve Jobs, Israel's Minister of Public Diplomacy and Diaspora Affairs Yuli Edelstein wrote, "I am convinced that you are aware of this type of application's ability to unite many toward an objective that could be disastrous."
An Apple spokesman told the New York Times that the company removed the app because "it violates the developer guidelines by being offensive to large groups of people."
The app take-down comes on the heels of another public-pushed app take down earlier this year. Apple took down the Exodus International "gay cure" app earlier this year after members of the LGBT community spoke out about the app's damaging and homophobic messages.
Apple also rejected the "Me So Holy" application before its release, which allows users to place their face onto various religious icons.

How to Have a Gorgeous and Organized Kitchen!
Frustrated with your kitchen? Know the space could be better? We asked a local expert for her advice on what you can do today to improve your kitchen, how to work around the most common kitchen design mistakes, her favorite small space ideas and more! Read ahead for great tips, ideas and inspiring photos...
Cindy Black, an architect in Austin, is behind the great kitchen transformations at Hello Kitchen Design. Along with her husband, architect Rick Black, Cindy tackles a number of residential and restaurant kitchens, working with clients to maximize space and beauty in kitchens within reasonable budgets. Cindy graciously answered some of the most pressing kitchen design issues affecting homeowners and renters today:
Where do you suggest clients start when they are about to tackle a kitchen they are unhappy with?
A lot of clients start by visiting showrooms or collecting images from magazines and some start by shopping for a designer or architect. The second step is to analyze how you cook and understand what you are lacking. If someone can be specific about their needs, then it makes the design process a bit smoother and more efficient.
What are the most common mistakes that clients make with their kitchen design?
- Poor lighting: Task lighting is more important than overhead lighting in a kitchen. Top priority is a warm light that adequately illuminates the work surface.
- Too much of any one color: A lot of finish materials are available in natural tones, which can be great on their own, but not so great in combination. Try to balance out warm with cool, or introduce a bright white or vivid color to balance things out. Using one cabinet finish throughout a large kitchen can be pretty relentless.
- Bad proportions: My pet peeve is to see a kitchen with upper cabinets that stop 10" short of the ceiling, or too much variety in door sizes, or chamfered corners.
What could a homeowner do today to improve their kitchen space?
- Take stock of what you own and make sure your problem is not just about storage (or lack thereof). I have a method for working through this often difficult issue: How to de-clutter your kitchen .
- Invest in an appliance that is currently giving you trouble (an old electric range, a noisy, water-wasting dishwasher, or an ancient refrigerator).
- Replace light fixtures. IKEA has a great, fun selection of affordable fixtures.
- Replace window coverings, or just remove them altogether. Go with something easy to clean and operate. Don't forget to open the window and let the fresh air in once in a while!
What can renters do to improve the look of their kitchen without causing any permanent changes?
- Start with the first step above!
- To open up space (since a cramped kitchen is usually a problem for renters), you can remove the doors of the upper cabinets, store them in a safe place, and rearrange your items to make a pleasant display on your 'new' open shelves.
- Focus on accessories that you can take with you later: a wall clock, tea towels, utensil jar, and other countertop storage. Try to find these items in colors that excite you and show off your personality... and hopefully these will overshadow the dingy cabinets or bad wall color!
What are the best things to improve on when you've got a tiny kitchen? What are your favorite small space solutions?
- 24" Refrigerators are perfectly functional, and save a lot of space for a teeny kitchen.
- Single bowl sinks are smart, especially because there is usually 'wasted' cabinet space below any kitchen sink because of plumbing and disposal parts.
- Eliminate the dishwasher altogether, which will save cost as well as 24" of lower cabinet.
- Designate a space for the trash in the lower cabinets, as a large trash can will overwhelm a tiny kitchen.
- Bring in natural daylight and try to capture an expansive view to the outside.
What are some secret tips that don't cost a lot to implement?
Get organized! For a relatively small amount of money, cabinets and walls can be outfitted with metal racks, pull-out shelves, drawer organizers, hooks, and towel bars like IKEA's Grundtal Collection. For good-looking storage I like: Square Canisters from Target, Rösle Utensil Rails from Sur La Table, the Wustoff Knife Holder from Crate and Barrel, Orla Kiley Stoneware Canisters from Target, and cabinet accessories from Blum's Orga-Line.
Finally, what's your favorite tip, idea, trend or color palette?
I like a mixture of color palettes in a kitchen--a combination of natural and painted wood, marble and wood countertops, and bronze hardware. I like copper and want to use more of it! I like an open shelf designated for cookbooks. I like a lounge area in the kitchen, for a little loveseat or 'coffee' chair. I love banks of windows right at counter-height--forget those upper cabinets! I like simple, low tech details--like a slab of wood dropped onto a stuccoed base. I think we've gotten trended out of all the machined products out there, and it would be refreshing to get closer to the materials as they're found in nature.
What do you think of Cindy's kitchen ideas and kitchen transformations? What ideas do you think you could implement in your own space? What ideas have you come up with that have saved you space or money? Let us know!

Obama now haunted by his ex-political mentor
Activist claims 'thug tactics' used to launch career also employed in 2008
Alice Palmer, the avowed communist who helped launch Barack Obama's career, continues to haunt Obama even today.
In 2008, Palmer showed up at the Democratic National Convention in Denver as a Hillary Clinton supporter, still resentful toward Obama for knocking her and three other candidates off the ballot for an Illinois state Senate seat some 13 years earlier by challenging voter signatures.
"The Democratic primary, what I witnessed, was one of the most appalling, disgusting things I've ever seen in my entire life," Hollywood-based digital photographer Michele Thomas told WND in a joint interview with Hollywood film producer Bettina Viviano.
Thomas began as a volunteer for the 2008 Clinton campaign then launched a petition drive when she learned the Democratic National Committee was not going to allow delegates to cast their votes for Clinton at the convention.
"I just felt like the entire process was being eviscerated and rules were being changed all along to ensure that no matter what, Barack Obama was the nominee," Thomas said.
"And I felt compelled to take a stand to have the process in which we decide who our candidates are that we vote for be upheld," she said. "And that the peoples' votes are held up from the ballot box to the convention where the delegates bring those votes forward."
Thomas said she received death threats as she gathered the 300 signed and notarized petitions required by Democratic National Convention rules to prompt a count of votes for Hillary Clinton on the first ballot.
Knowing how Obama had defeated Palmer in his first election campaign in 1996, Thomas required the delegates who signed the petition to notarize their signatures on two copies. One copy was sent to a Post Office box and the other brought to the convention in Denver.
Thomas said she did it "so there was no way the DNC or the Obama campaign, his lawyers, could knock my signatures off this petition."
Thomas took three months off work to conduct the petition drive, foregoing considerable income.
She explained why she did it and why she is speaking out about it now.
"I'm a little scared right now, there's no doubt about it," she admitted, "but at some point in your life, if you are fortunate enough, you are faced with the decision of doing something bigger than yourself."
As WND reported, the charges of Thomas, Viviano and others connected to the 2008 campaign are now being investigated by Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio's Cold Case Posse, which is probing Obama's eligibility for Arizona's 2012 ballot.
Help Sheriff Joe blow the lid off Obama's fraud. Join the Cold Case Posse right now!
'Bare-knuckle' politics
In 1995, Obama saw his opening to run for elected office when Palmer decided to give up her state Senate seat and run for Congress in a special election.
In 1986, as editor of the Black Press Review, Palmer was the only African-American to cover the 27th Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union in Moscow.
She went out of her way to make Obama her handpicked successor.
To get Obama's state Senate race off to a good start, Palmer arranged a function to be held for a few influential liberals in the district at the Hyde Park home of Weather Underground founders Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn.
It's not likely Palmer would have selected Obama to be her successor in the Illinois Legislature or have introduced him to the Hyde Park political community at the Ayers-Dohrn home unless she saw an affinity between Ayers and Dorhn's radical SDS Weather Underground history and her own history of openly professed communism and Obama.
After Palmer stepped aside for Obama to take her seat, she suffered an unexpected electoral defeat in the November 1995 Democratic Party primary. She came in a distant third, behind Jesse Jackson and Emil Jones Jr., a power-wielder who would become Obama's mentor after Obama was elected to fill Palmer's seat.
After losing the special congressional election, Palmer reversed her decision and decided she wanted her Illinois Senate seat back.
Palmer supporters asked Obama to step aside, but he refused and decided to challenge Palmer's eligibility for the ballot using what the Chicago Tribune described as the "bare-knuckle arts of Chicago electoral politics."
Obama hired a fellow Harvard Law School alumnus to challenge the legitimacy of the signatures Palmer received on petitions to qualify for the ballot.
Once he set on the strategy, Obama kept challenging petitions, until he succeeded in getting all four of his Democratic primary rivals forced off the ballot, enabling him to run unchallenged.
Viviano described Obama's strategy in defeating Palmer in 1995 as a betrayal.
"Alice Palmer was his mentor who had asked Bill Ayers to throw that coming-out party for Obama," she explained.
Thomas said she met Palmer in person at the 2008 convention in Denver.
"I actually had my petitions in my backpack," Thomas remembered. "I walked right up to her and I said, 'Alice Palmer, you have no idea how you have affected my life and what I've just done.'"
Thomas explained to Palmer how she designed her petition to make sure Obama could not get lawyers to disqualify her signatures.
"I had every single one of these petitions notarized because I know what happened to you," Thomas told Palmer upon meeting her in Denver. "I have them in my backpack right now. Do you want to see them?"
Palmer said yes.
"She started going through them, and she got tears in her eyes when she saw that they were notarized," Thomas recalled. "She said, 'Oh my God, This is what I should have done, this is what I should have done."
Thomas told Palmer that the only reason she got her signatures individually notarized was to prevent the Democratic National Committee or the Obama campaign from throwing out her signatures to disqualify the petition.
"This was all because of what [Obama] did to all of his challengers," Viviano stressed. "It just was outrageous to disqualify these people that way. This is how moral and ethical our so-called president is. His own mentor, who went out of her way to support him in his career – he turned around with a knife and put it in her back and had her challenged off the ballot in a way that was so amoral and unethical, and she became a Hillary supporter."
Thomas remembered that Palmer pulled her aside at the Denver presidential nominating convention and told Thomas that she wanted to tell her a story.
Palmer explained to Thomas that after Obama's lawyers disqualified her signatures in 1996, she spent the next few months walking door-to-door making sure her signatures were valid.
"She said every single one of them was correct, and they should have not been knocked off," Thomas said.
Thomas recalled that Palmer wanted to have dinner with her that night. But the person who introduced her to Palmer later called and said that the dinner was off because Palmer had been threatened.
Viviano shared Thomas' outrage.
"America doesn't do scared like that," she insisted. "This is a First Amendment country, freedom of speech and now, all of a sudden, there are people cowering in the corner that are afraid to tell the truth about things.
"This is like living under Chavez or Castro," she said. "It's ridiculous."

About this font family
In the late 1990s Gerard Unger won the assignment to design the signage system for the Holy Year celebrations to be held in Rome in 2000. The system he developed in cooperation with the design agency n|p|k used a classically inspired serif typeface, but the earlier proposals included a sans-serif, which became Vesta (2001).
Vesta is a versatile family that can be used as a display face alongside Unger's serif faces Gulliver, Capitolium or Coranto; it can also be used on its own, even in longer texts. Vesta is narrower and therefore more economical than some commonly used sans serifs such as Arial and Helvetica; there is also a noticeable contrast between thick and thin parts, which makes it more lively. Vesta is to be extended with narrow versions, small capitals and old style numerals, along with some special versions for headlines.

Looking for CHARTERIS siblings
I can't seem to get further than James Charteris 1786 who married Helen Bell, but here are their children listed, including my great grandfather David. Perhaps descendants of these may have knowledge of their ancestors and I have put in the little I know of my great uncles, Thomas, William and George.
James Charteris b 5th November 1833
John Charteris b 25th June 1837 Corsua Dumfries d 25 Jan 1908 Capelhill Parish of Johnstone Bridge
William Charteris b 9th Feb 1839 corsua dumfries d 1917 Hipperholm West Yorkshire England
Robert Charteris b 5th March 1841 d 7 November 1870 Lochmaben Scotland
David Charteris b 28th June 1843 Corsua dumfries d 25 December 1929 in New Plymouth
Jane Charteris b 26 November 1845 Corsua Dumfries d 30 jan 1936 Seaforth, Monrave Scotland
Helen Charteris b 3 March 1848
Thomas Charteris b 6 October 1851 Cosrua Dumfries d 16 January 1937, Timaru NZ
Agnes Charteris b 20 January 1853 Corsua Dumfries d 13 August 1942 Jasper, Michigan
George Charteris b 19 May 1855 Corsua Dumfries d 18 March 1938 in Wanganui NZ
Catherine Charteris b 6 August 1857
Walter Charteris b 23 February 1859 Corsua Dumfries (unsure of birth date)
There is virtually nothing about William in his individual family tree, just that married Eliza Corrie, who was born in Morton Parish c1840, this leads me to think that Dad is right and William went to Canada.
It could well be that his sister Agnes followed with her husband, Robert Anderson Duncanson b 29 August 1845 Paisley near Glasgow. They married 28 April 1876 at Dumfries Scotland. Robert Duncanson d 13 August 1942 in Jasper, Michigan.
Re:Thomas, nothing before him coming to NZ except that he had a son, James Richard Charteris who had three wives, just to muddy the waters so to speak.
Additional information from my father, James Seddon Charteris history:
David Charteris arrived in NZ on Epsom and married Esther Fantham.
She sailed from Buckinghamshire in England with her parents (on one of the first 4 ships) when she was three years of age, arriving in Christchurch in 1851. The couple had 14 children, one of them dying as an infant.
They were: Nell, Ernest, Joe, John, Frank, Malcolm, Stanley, Robert, Aggie, Kate, Doll, Bessie & Bert and the unknown baby.
One of their children, Ernest CHARTERIS married Ruby Hansen from Western Australia in Kalgoorlie where there first born James Seddon CHARTERIS arrived 9th August 1905. When his parents returned with him to NZ (they had been on holiday in Australia), they had three more children, Arthur Joseph CHARTERIS b 1907 - 1978, Walter Bruce CHARTERIS b 10 November 1910 - 16th October 1983 and Florence (Floss) Annie CHARTERIS who married Ralph CHURCH.
Now going back to a little more information about the first CHARTERIS brothers who left Scotland.
Three brothers, David CHARTERIS, George CHARTERIS and Tom CHARTERIS were amongst the early settlers in New Zealand. Another brother, William CHARTERIS settled in Canada. He was a brilliant surgeon who was knighted for his work. George was said to have been a policeman and accidentally had his hand blown off while he was trying to catch fish using explosives. Tom had been banished from England to America and then to New Zealand over a bet, when he said he would put his foot on the carriage of Queen Victoria, which he did, causing outrage. David was highly educated and he also came out to New Zealand from England and managed a large sheep station.
He liked to drink smoked a pipe. He was a heavy drinker until he had to be rescued from the hotel where he was sick, and feeling ashamed, gave the liquor away. David Charteris married Esther Fantham who had sailed to New Zealand on one of the first four sailing ships to that country.
My grandfater, Ernest James CHARTERIS was a New Zealander who came on a...
My grandfater, Ernest James CHARTERIS was a New Zealander who came on a working holiday to Australia where he Married RUBY HANSON and my father James Seddon CHARTERIS was born in Kalgoorlie, returning to NZ when he was 3 months old after they won 42 guineas on Blue Spek at the Melbourne Cup. They also had Arthur, Bruce and Floss.
Dad returned to Australia in 1926 and married Angela May GLASS and i am their fourth child, so I'm Australian. We are having a family reunion at easter in NZ so trying to get as far back in the family tree as possible.
Have got as far back as James Charteris born 1786 who married Helen Bell. I am stuck at this point.

PORT ST. LUCIE — Jason Isringhausen will give his comeback shot with the Mets at least another two weeks.
After a day of deliberation, the veteran righty yesterday accepted the team's invitation to participate in extended spring training. The 38-year-old reliever, who was squeezed from the Opening Day roster by Blaine Boyer, has been told his situation will be reevaluated within two weeks.
"I've come this far, two more weeks won't kill me," said Isringhausen, who last pitched in the major leagues in 2009.
The Mets have told Isringhausen they will release him from his minor league contract if another team wants him before extended spring training concludes. But the Mets also have right of first refusal, meaning they could block Isringhausen from joining an NL East rival such as the Phillies, who could seek bullpen help with closer Brad Lidge expected to miss 3-6 weeks.
Isringhausen, who posted a 1.13 ERA in eight spring training appearances, said he wasn't upset with the Mets' decision to leave him off the Opening Day roster.
"I'll just work on my pitching and still face hitters," Isringhausen said. "It's better to have some kind of structured outline rather than just going home and trying to throw at home."
Johan Santana said it will be "tough" remaining behind at the Mets minor league complex this spring, but he fully expects to return and help the team in 2011. The lefty is continuing his rehab from shoulder surgery, but is not close to throwing from a mound. The Mets are hoping he can return by late June.
"I'm very pleased with how I feel," Santana said. "It feels like everything is getting looser, looser and looser as I throw — and better."
Nick Evans cleared waivers and was out-righted to Triple-A Buffalo. Luis Hernandez also cleared waivers and must decide if he will accept an assignment to Buffalo. General manager Sandy Alderson said he expects Hernandez to accept.
Chris Young allowed two earned runs on three hits over five innings in the Mets' 6-3 victory over the Marlins. Young finished the spring with a 1.78 ERA. The Mets finished the Grapefruit League 17-15.

Ly's 66 Square Feet in Philly
Location: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Type of space: Balcony
Tell us about your outdoor project and how you enjoy it: Our balcony is quite small (6x11 feet) but I was determined to create a personal garden space while living in the city. The view is a wonderful panoramic of Philly's financial district high-rises, and I wanted a balance between that metal and glass beauty with a natural, green peacefulness. It is a relaxing escape from the city and work, and a quiet place to sit outside. As you can see, my cat would much rather be out here than in our apartment...
How did you create it? This was my first attempt at container gardening (apart from many indoor plants), so I was trying to use my backyard gardens from childhood and in the past as a guide to plants and care. I also recently moved from Vermont to Philadelphia, so I was excited to start growing in a much warmer climate with an earlier growing season. Many of the plants I started indoor from seed, and others were gifts or from a local nursery. I decided for this year to stick with herbs and flowers given the limited space (rather than vegetables that I had grown in my previous gardens). This is still a work in progress — the metal railings and brick wall will (hopefully) be covered with morning glory, moonflower, scarlet runner bean, and sweetpea vines by the end of the summer to give some vertical height to the planter boxes.
Recommended store, site, product or resource? Renee's Garden is an excellent heirloom seed source, Greens Grow is a local Philly nursery and I definitely got some ideas from looking at Apartment Therapy and flickr photos of other people's projects.

Kenyan officials seize ivory disguised as peanuts
MOMBASA, Kenya (AP) — Officials at Kenya's Mombasa port impounded more than three tons of illegal ivory disguised as peanuts for export to Malaysia, the second such seizure there in less than a week.
The ivory was seized on Monday and had been declared as 240 bags of peanuts, Paul Mbugua, a spokesman for the Kenya Wildlife Service, said in a statement Tuesday.
Kenyan revenue officials said the ivory was worth more than $700,000, the biggest seizure so far this year. Last week officials at Mombasa's port seized a substantial consignment of illegal ivory disguised as sundried fish marked for export to Malaysia. Two more suspicious containers — one from Uganda and the other from Congo — were due for verification, officials said Tuesday.
The big seizures highlight East Africa's growing problem of poaching and the illegal trade in ivory, as demand for it increases in Asia. According to CITES, the international body that monitors endangered species, the illegal ivory trade has more than doubled since 2007. Kenya's elephant population fell from 160,000 in 1960s to 16,000 in 1989 due to poaching. Today Kenya is home to only 38,500 elephants.
Most of the ivory impounded on Monday likely came from Botswana, South Africa, Congo, Cameroon, and Mozambique, according to Arthur Tuda, a Kenya wildlife official responsible for the coast. If most of the ivory is being smuggled from countries other than Kenya, it suggests Mombasa's port is becoming a favorite for ivory smugglers and traders. Tuda said three clearing agents at Mombasa have since been arrested over their alleged involvement in the illegal ivory trade. Kenyan officials have intercepted six major ivory consignments being smuggled through the port in the last three years. They were destined for Hong Kong, Cambodia, United Arab Emirates, China, Thailand and Malaysia.
Tuda said that, unless wildlife poaching is declared "an economic crime" with heavy penalties, the problem is likely to persist in Kenya and elsewhere in the region where poachers do not face serious consequences if they are caught. The ivory seized last week at Mombasa's port originated from the Ugandan capital, Kampala.
Kenyan revenue officials warn that ivory smugglers are becoming smarter and have devised means to beat scanners. The ivory seized last week stank of fish and repelled sniffer dogs. The officials say the ivory is often chopped into small pieces, polished and neatly cut into small cubes and circles that disguise their ivory shape during the scanning process.
Tuda, the Kenya wildlife official, said the growing number of ivory seizures was the result of greater surveillance by wildlife and revenue officials, who increasingly have to physically search suspicious containers. Last month Beatrice Memo, Kenya's customs commissioner, announced new regulations to curb ivory trade through the port of Mombasa that include full scrutiny of all goods destined for the Middle East and Asia. The new procedures also call for all exports there to be packed under the supervision of a joint team of wildlife and revenue officials, police, and others.
Associated Press writer Rodney Muhumuza in Kampala, Uganda, contributed to this report.

Charlotte "Mama C" O'Neal will be presenting "The Spirit of the Panther Lives on Through Art, Youth and Social Action in Tanzania and Beyond," on Thursday, Feb. 21 at 3 p.m. in the Lone Star College-North Harris Arena Theater (ACAD-142). The community is invited to attend this free event.
O'Neal, known to most as Mama C, is a world-class improvisational jazz, blues, spoken word and visual artist. A co-founder of the Kansas City chapter of the Black Panther Party, Mama C immigrated to Africa in 1971, where she and her husband, Pete O'Neal, co-founded the United African Alliance Community Center.

Investigate how you can work out what day of the week your birthday will be on next year, and the year after...
Many numbers can be expressed as the sum of two or more consecutive integers. For example, 15=7+8 and 10=1+2+3+4. Can you say which numbers can be expressed in this way?
Arrange the numbers 1 to 16 into a 4 by 4 array. Choose a number.
Cross out the numbers on the same row and column. Repeat this
process. Add up you four numbers. Why do they always add up to 34?
Try some different numbers.
Can you work out how the numbers in the upper layers are generated?
Here are some questions to consider:
Here is a number pyramid with four layers so that you can test some of your ideas:

"It's a great example of pivotal ideas and a completely new form of direct marketing. Hopefully, one day soon, it will be on trollies around the world."
Every day, we're exposed to harmful germs, which can spread disease. Lifebuoy creates products that protect people from them, and wanted to demonstrate it.
So we created a world first innovation that applies a thin layer of Lifebuoy sanitizer liquid to the handles of shopping trolleys – killing 99.9% of germs with one simple swipe. 'Handle on Hygiene' was a clever reminder in a crucial location – where people buy food for their families.
With this one invention, we were able to demonstrate Lifebuoy's hygiene benefits to over 10,000 shoppers per day, resulting in a healthy 53% increase of Lifebuoy sales.

I never said she wasn't a great dog
My only comment was that "skiddish and very timid" is not the description of a "truly a stellar example of this breed." That's not a judgement call on the dog, her owners, or anything else...
Heck, three of the four I've had can't exactly be considered "stellar examples of this breed."
Lots of dogs take some time to warm up to new people, some of that is innate temperament, some of that is due to life experience, some to training. Not a big deal; but not necessarily "appropriate" to this breed. Of course, once you get some mixes in there you have a lot of other stuff to deal with....

Hell was already frozen anyway, but apparantly, the SkyOS team is trying to bring hell's temperature to absolute zero, since they are saying 2007 might see a release of SkyOS 5. "After what seems about 30 years worth of work (I'm sure even more to Robert), SkyOS will finally be released to the public. Lots of details are still being worked out on this one (as well as the obvious issues still present in the system), but we're really shooting to make it happen."

Rated 5 out of 5 by ViaBB from Amazing dress! Love this dress! Have been seeing it online for a while now and never thought anything of it. Saw it in the store, tried it on and it's amazing. This dress looks like it has a jacket attached with the tank part of the dress underneath, this can't really be seen in the online picture. I'm a 36D, 5'10". This dress really flatters and is great for work.

Modern Warfare 3 is not going to be able to replicate the brilliance of the first two games. The King of the FPS is going to fall. Here is why.
I wish Activision pushed Singularity as much as they do COD. Singularity was an ACE fps. And COD isnt doomed to die, just slap a Moidern Warfare title on any half-assed FPS games followed by the number 3, and the zombie masses will buy it like their life depends on it.
It won't be doomed, just boring.
The mp is crack though
"...currently ho-humming its way around Metacritic with a score of 77"
This quote shows everything that's wrong with video game reviews. The scores are way too inflated. Since when is a 7.7/10 "ho-hum"? Compare with Imdb. A 7.7/10 is a good score. An 8.0/10 gets you into the Top 250 movies of all time.
There are only TWO movies with an average score of more than 9/10. Which makes sense, considering 10/10 equals perfection. And nothing is perfect.
But video game reviews are different. Very different. AAA exclusives get 9/10 by default. Anything below 7/10 supposedly completely sucks etc.
Maybe this is what the franchise needs. A little reality check for the devs. You can't just screw around and release a crappy product just cause you know people will eat it up.

Antoine Meo the reigning E1 World Champion overcame sickness to deliver two top performances in Rounds 3 & 4 of the World Enduro Championship in San Juan Argentina this weekend with two hard fought victories!
E1Antoine Meo was struggling with energy levels after stomach problems in conditions that were tough for all riders. Meo battled his way on the KTM 250 EXC-F back into the action and the victory after an early setback and two errors in the first Extreme test on Saturday on a day where riders fought heat of 28 degrees Celsius and four instead of the customary three laps. On Sunday Meo again had trouble with the opening Extreme test but despite being weak from his illness, still managed to recover to keep his perfect scorecard of four victories in the fourth South American rounds!Meo's E1 teammate Cristobal Guerrero, still recovering from shoulder surgery was not able to start on Sunday with his KTM 250 EXC-F. Team boss Fabio Farioli said he expected Guerrero to be completely fit and back in the top action when competition resumes in May. "Considering all the bad luck we've had this weekend, I have to be very satisfied with the results," Farioli said after Sunday's race. He added that his riders would be contesting national championships in between now and the next two rounds in Spain. "We will also analyzing the small technical problem with Nambotin's bike and we will be working on our bike setups ahead of the next two rounds."E2InE2 the two KTM factory riders Frenchman Johnny Aubert and Ivan Cervantes of Spain split the podium glory over the two days of competition in what is shaping up to be a very competitive class. Aubert finished on the podium with the KTM 450 EXC in third on Saturday with Cervantes in fourth place, trailing by just four seconds. Then on Sunday, Cervantes had the edge with the KTM 350 EXC-F, finishing second with Aubert in fourth place at the end of the day. Aubert too experienced problems in the latter part of the race when a small stone blocked his rear brake. E3Teammate Christophe Nambotinalso suffered several small crashes on the opening day of competition with the KTM 300 EXC in the E3 class, finishing back at twelfth in the opening Enduro test. But the French rider quickly got back into his stride and was fastest in 11 of the 14 tests to deliver victory on the opening day. Nambotin looked a sure fire winner on Sunday, winning every test except the final cross test where he experienced a small technical problem with his bike. He managed to fix the problem himself but lost time in the test to finish eleventh and slip down the overall order from first to seventh. The French rider then made a strong recovery in the final test to fight back to finish fourth. EJIn EJ competition on Sunday KTM rider Rudi Moroni of Italy won the class with standings leader Giacomo Redondi, also of Italy in fifth. Teams now return to Europe and competition will resume in Puerto Lumbraras May 11 & 12 for rounds 5 & 6 of the 14-round championships.Summary of results of KTM Factory riders for Rounds 3 & 4Results E1Antoine Meo (F), KTM (1-1)Cristobal Guerrero (E), KTM (11-DNF)Standings E1 after 4 of 14 rounds1.

Words: Dresser
Photos: Hamilton
Devun Walsh, Chris Dufficy, and Kale Stephens pulled the plug-rain clouds and generally shithouse conditions held Canada in lockdown. Graybird backcountry was out of the question and sloppy park riding unfun. It seemed all of North America was pissing rain; something had to give. The three decided it was time for vacation-a balmy climate, where the sun always shines and girls shred in Gucci glasses, 'beaters, and thongs out the back. With the current hype surrounding Bear Mountain's new all-mountain terrain park, the call was easy-they were goin' back to Cali.
Devun Walsh's first snowboard trip had landed him at Bear Mountain back in 1992. He rode with the snowboard greats of the original Ride crew and Jamie Lynn and had scarcely been there since-the spot had a lot to live up to … Having three Canadian à…berpros riding So Cal warrants serious media attention-but who allows a photographer to join in on their holiday? An idea was hatched, ground rules laid, and a deal struck. Photo Editor Nick Hamilton would accompany, documenting Devun's return to Bear in a rather unorthodox fashion. "I never really unstrapped my bindings," relates Hamilton. Nicky shot the entire feature follow-cam style-riding behind, in front, and along side with little to no setup time. Shooting consistently as they hot-lapped Bear's park for two days supported a flow rarely offered during a photo shoot. Did we get a different vibe? We think so-in the end, the 'Cats enjoyed many laps, Hamilton is rehabbing a sore back, and Devun left with new memories: "Bear's amazing, it's so fun-we're going back next year for a little longer."
The Legacy Of Bear Mountain
Thumbing through TransWorld's library always lends perspective. Back issues chronicle change, and it's obvious Bear Mountain's Outlaw Park had a profound impact on modern-day riding. Building the first terrain park in the 1990/91 season created a blueprint later traced by an entire industry-for that we should all give thanks. Snow Summit soon followed suit, creating Westridge run, while Boreal in Tahoe constructed Jibassic Park-but for the rest of the world, terrain-park acceptance was hardly a bandwagon venture. Fifteen years have passed since Outlaw Park was built. Resorts have finally finished what Bear Mountain started: terrain parks are now the standard, accepted-expected.
Outlaw Park was a serious, abbreviated run with large gaps designed by rider and designer Mike Parrillo. Locals linked heavy lines-guys like Rob Dafoe, Brian Thien, Brian Iguchi, Kurt Wastell, Neil Drake, and Bobby Meeks. And every pro sessioned Outlaw on a regular basis-a few Canadians even moved to So Cal. Over time, focus shifted to smaller, user-friendly jumps with longer runs as Chris "Gunny" Gunnarson's Westridge run at Summit became the new destination. In '02 Snow Summit celebrated its 50-year anniversary and acquired Bear Mountain-reviving its former glory with the opening of The Park, the first all-mountain terrain park (with the exception of Bear Peak). In contrast to Outlaw, The Park boasts nearly 200 acres of man-made features-over 100 jumps, 60-something jibs, and two pipes, including So Cal's only Superpipe. Bear Mountain has co

BAKER � Lebanon Missionary Baptist Church members invite area residents to celebrate 100 years of worship.
BAKER � Lebanon Missionary Baptist Church members invite area residents to celebrate 100 years of worship.
"We are throwing ourselves a party and we want everyone to come," longtime church member Aljonia Porter said.
Porter, 65, is the daughter of Samuel Allen, the church's oldest member at age 92. The Allens started worshipping at Lebanon in 1952, she said.
The church was established in 1914, with the first pastor being Rev. J.A. Thomas. In the early years, church baptisms would take place at the nearby Blackwater River.
Porter said she remembers attending first grade at the then-segregated Drew School, which shared facilities with the church.
The church is part of her family's past, present and future, she said.
"Our parents, grandparents and great-grandparents were members here," she said. "... We are working on the fourth and fifth generations now," Porter said.
The Rev. Dwight Baggett, of Macedonia Missionary Baptist Church, said he fondly remembers services at Lebanon.
"It was wonderful; we were taught the Bible and that is all we needed," he said.
Baggett said he was inspired to become a full-time minister after witnessing the spiritual path of his father, Alex Baggett, and grandfather, Will Henry, who were church deacons.
Baggett said Macedonia's preaching takes heavily from what he learned at Lebanon.
"(We) basically stay within Genesis and Revelations (in teaching the Bible)," he said.
WHAT: Lebanon Missionary Baptist Church's 100th Anniversary celebration
EVENTSare as follows:
�Revival with the Rev. Alice Faye Allen: 7 p.m. Thursday, Lebanon Missionary Baptist Church, 1288 Washington Ave., Baker
�Revival with Pastor Russell Hughes: 7 p.m. Friday at the church
�Anniversary service with Pastor Tommie Lewis: 2:30 p.m. Sunday at the church
�Memorial Banquet: 6 p.m. Saturday at Baker Recreation Community Center, 5503 County Highway 4

At home, Katie flashes back to arguing with Bill and going into labor. Brooke arrives. They discuss Brooke coming back early from her honeymoon, Bill buying Katie the house, and Taylor moving to the beach. Katie tells Brooke that she and Bill were discussing something when she suddenly went into labor. After, Brooke visits with the baby, Katie talks to her about seeing Storm. Things get tearful. Katie says she couldn't leave Will alone with Bill. Brooke jokes along. Katie is surprised when Brooke says she came back without Ridge and says she's not going back to join him. Katie asks if something happened between them. Brooke has a panic attack!
Are You Freaking Kidding Me!
Brooke returns, a meeting is held at Forrester, and Ridge's choice leads to big problems.
At Forrester, Rick tells Caroline that he's expecting an email from Ridge, who wants to take some time off. He feels he's about to become CEO and wants to celebrate.
In the Forrester hallway, Pam and Donna prepare for a meeting. Eric and Stephanie discuss Ridge not returning. Everyone gathers in the boardroom to learn who Ridge has appointed as interim CEO. Marcus speculates that he must plan on being away for a while, and wonders if Katie's near death made him rethink life. Ridge's email comes in and Eric reads it aloud. He talks about being a better more focused CEO when he returns and says he'd like Eric to takeover, but understands that he's earned the right to step back. Ridge names Thomas as interim CEO. Rick smoulders. He jumps to his feet. "Are you freaking kidding me?" He says Thomas has no business experience and asks Eric to do something - this isn't right. Tensions rise as Thomas says it's his birthright. Rick demands Eric intervene. Stephanie tells Rick to accept the decision gracefully. Marcus congratulates Thomas as the meeting's adjourned. Rick asks for a moment with Thomas. Thomas calls Rick out on his recent friendliness all being an act. Caroline listens as they argue. Rick tells Thomas he's done more for the company than Thomas ever has. Thomas tells Rick he'll never run Forrester and won't get Caroline either. "Back off." Thomas punctuates his remark with a light smack on Rick's face. Rick mocks that his daddy handed him a position he didn't earn. Things turn ugly. Caroline screams as Thomas puts Rick through the window and he lands in a heap in the bushes below!
Spoilers for Next Week on The Young and the Restless:
Eric and Stephanie become concerned after she has a health scare.
Brooke and Stephanie discuss the honeymoon in confidence.
Brooke learns of Deacon's return.
