Affairs At Huntersville, Va.
The correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial gives the following account of the dispersion of the rebels, and the destroying of their stores at Huntersville, Western Virginia, by a detachment of Federal troops, from General Milroy's command:
HUTTONSVILLE, VA., Jan. 7, 1862.
The Huntersville expedition, of which I telegraphed you yesterday, was so successful in its result, and so damaging to the rebel army in these parts, that it merits a more extended notice, and having recovered somewhat from the fatigue of a hundred miles' march, I will try to give some of the chief incidents of the winter march through the mountains, and the extensive conflagration of the famous city of Huntersville, which, after the fashion of Virginia towns, is decidedly an eight-by-ten institution.
And first, in order that the reader may know what and where Huntersville is, I will premise by saying that it is the county-seat of Pocahontas County, near fifty-two miles from this point, and forty-odd from Staunton, and it derives its chief importance from the fact that it has been employed as the central depot for supplies for the rebel army of Western Virginia. Being the nearest point to the Staunton railroad, supplies were wagoned there, and thence distributed to the rebels at whatever points they needed them. Gen. Lee's army, during its inglorious career in these parts, drew its supplies from this source. Having authentic information that large supplies of provisions, etc., were still stored there, under guard of several hundred cavalry and infantry, and conceiving that it would be a good thing to destroy the provisions, and, if possible, capture some troops, or whip them out, Gen. Milroy determined to send a sufficient force to do it.
The force detailed for this service was composed of four hundred of the Twenty-fifth Ohio, three hundred of the Second Virginia, and a detachment of thirty-eight from Bracken's Indiana cavalry, under Lieut. Dalzell; the whole force being under command of Major Webster, Twenty-fifth Ohio; Major Owens, Second Virginia, had the immediate command of the Virginians. Capts. Askew, Williams, Washburne, Johnson, Green and Crowell, and Lieuts. Higgins, Houghton, Jones, Bell, Berblus and Blandy, Twenty-fifth Ohio, commanded the Ohio boys; but I do not know the company officers of the Virginians.
Tuesday afternoon - the last day of the waning old year, 1861 - we left camp, and turned our faces toward the interior of the Old Dominion. And a beautiful day it was, and beautiful scenery, even in mid-winter, greeted us.
Precious little rest did any of us get New Year's night. It was freezing cold, and seemed as though all the mountain storms had concentrated in one terrific gale of wind, which poured through the open valley in which we camped, with mighty, resistless energy, the entire night. We had big fires, but they seemed to do little good, and I assure you, that there were very few happy or good-natured soldiers that night, and we were thankful when morning came, so that we could leave. At the blast of the bugle, we again took up our line of march, and proceeded twelve miles, and again camped for the night, at the foot of Elk Mountain, in a most beautiful pine grove, the rich, green tops of which were so thickly crowded together as to obscure the lurid glare of our fires, while beneath this natural covering of pines, the most animating scene, fit for an elegant picture, presented itself. Here we were compelled to leave our ambulances and wagons, under guard, in consequence of an impassable blockade of the road by the "Secesh." They had fallen heavy timbers across the road for a mile and a half up the mountain side, and neither man nor beast could get through. So, getting ready Friday morning, we set out for Huntersville, fourteen miles distant, followed a mountain-trail around the blockade, until, on the top of Elk Mountain, we again struck the main road. The boys were in excellent condition, and were entertaining themselves with speculations about the probable events of the day, as Major Webster intended to attack the place that afternoon. Seven or eight miles this side of the town, we came across some suspicious-looking men, whom the Major took along with him. All along the road, it was amusing to observe the look of surprise which the residents gave our column as it passed by. The visual organs, especially of the female population, were considerably protruded, as they would suddenly discover the long line of blue overcoats winding along the road, a sight they had never before seen in that section, being accustomed to the gray coats of Secessia.
At last, about one o'clock, we neared the bridge which spans Greenbrier River, six miles this side of Huntersville, where, our scouts had reported, we should first encounter the rebels. We halted, to let the cavalry pass, who were sent forward to attempt to cut off the rebel pickets at the bridge, and then moving forward soon struck the river about half a mile from the bridge. The cavalry moved forward quickly and crossed the river considerably above the bridge. At this point the valley is pretty wide, composed of meadow land, and as our cavalry, under Lieut. Dalzell, dashed up the bank and hastily formed for a charge down through the fields to cut off the rebels from retreating to Huntersville, the rebels discovered them and ran; the greater part being infantry, could not escape our cavalry on the Huntersville side, so they took the Lewisburg road and made fast time up the mountain side. The rebel cavalry, however, retreated to Huntersville, and the race across the bottom, between our cavalry and theirs, was decidedly exciting - the rebels flying at full speed, and our men, in good order, were charging in line of battle down the valley at the top of their horses' speed. The rebels, however, had the shortest road, and made good their escape. Leaving Capt. Williams, Co. C, Twenty-fifth Ohio, with eighty or a hundred men, to hold the bridges, Major Webster moved forward on Huntersville, then distant six miles, and we marched rapidly. The road leaves the Greenbrier River at the bridge, and strikes back through the mountains. When within two miles of the town, as we were moving along a mountain side, our advance guard was fired on by some rebel cavalry, who immediately retreated as fast as their steeds could carry them. Moving forward cautiously, we soon struck a valley which opened before us, and in which Huntersville is situated, being in a sort of square formed by two of these valleys crossing each other. As we went forward, through a field, we discovered a number of the rebels at a sharp bend in the road, and they immediately got in position behind a bank and opened a brisk fire on our column. They were dismounted cavalrymen, and used Sharp's carbines, the balls of which came whizzing past us, making quite lively music. I thought, then, that they intended to make a struggle to maintain their ground, and, knowing that their force was equal to, if not larger than ours, I though the prospect was good for a respectable fight. Major Webster threw out a line of skirmishers, and our boys replied pretty effectively to their fire, and they retreated. We had not advanced far until we discovered a large force of cavalry, drawn up in a field, in our front and across a stream of water. Companies A and B, of the Twenty-fifth, were deployed to the right, and opened fire with their Enfields, whereupon the cavalry turned tail and retreated again, but halted and formed again on a level plain, to reach which they had to ascend a sloping piece of ground. Here we supposed they would make a desperate stand, as the ground was well adapted to the movements of cavalry; and as the space between the opposing forces was good for a charge, I imagined that as our line advanced, they would come thundering down upon us in true Murat style. And, indeed, with the number of cavalry drawn up in line before us, if they had made an energetic charge they could have done us considerable damage. Our boys were crazy for the order to forward. Ever since the first fire they had been wild with excitement, and had made the mountain ring with their cheers as the rebels retreated. Major Webster directed Major Owens, of the Second Virginia, to go to the left with the Virginia boys, turn the enemy's right, and attack them in the rear. As the Virginians filed past the Twenty-fifth to its position, the boys of each regiment cheered each other vociferously, and pledged themselves to conquer or die. Then the word was given to forward, and with cheer upon cheer, away we went on double-quick, and away also, before our impetuous charge, but with greater speed, went the chivalric Southern cavalry back to Huntersville, which was now revealed to us for the first time. Pausing a moment at the top of the ascent to let the men take breath, we could see several companies of infantry drawn up in the town, about half a mile distant. Again we moved forward, and the picture was quite lively to see; to our left across the fields, the Virginians advancing on double-quick towards the town, while our own regiment was moving forward on a charge, and the cavalry occupying the space between the two divisions, and all cheering lustily and full of determination to clean out the town. We went flying into town; the Major on horseback at the head of the men, swinging his cap and cheering, and everybody else seeming to exert himself to create as much noise as possible. But the rebels had fled before we reached the town, the cavalry flying out the road towards Staunton, and the infantry scattering through the woods in a very promiscuous and unmilitary style. With loud cheers we rushed through the street, and, as we gained the opposite side of the town, the boys saw a few badly-scared rebel infantry, and began blazing away at them as they ran up the hill-side. In the midst of the firing a young woman (and a handsome one at that) suddenly sprang from behind a log, and ran across the field towards her home, frightened almost to death, and leaping like a deer, (or dear, if you please.) So soon as she was discovered the firing ceased, and there ended the fighting part of the programme. We had killed one rebel and wounded seven, among the latter a captain, and had one of our boys, a member of Company E, Twenty-fifth Ohio, shot in the wrist. Thus we had achieved an almost bloodless victory, driven the rebels back from three different points where they had taken their stand, and now have possession of their depot of supplies.
And now we set about seeing what we had gained by the triumph. It did not take long, for Huntersville is not the most extensive city in America, nor the most beautiful. In fact, it was a very contemptible place, both in size and appearance, and in Ohio would be sneered at if it should aspire to the dignity of a county-seat. It has one church, a jail, and court-house - not remarkable for its architectural beauty; a dozen or fifteen dwellings, and three hotels, the latter being the best buildings in the town. It has been used chiefly for the quartering of troops, the citizens having nearly all deserted it some time ago. One or two families were still there, and from them we learned that there were about four hundred cavalry, and two companies of infantry stationed there to guard the rebel supplies. One cavalry company was from Memphis, Tenn., and was finely equipped. All of them were armed with Sharp's carbines and sabres. They were apprised of our coming the night before, scouts having seen us as we took dinner on Thursday, 17 miles back. Capt. Alexander, of Tennessee, who commanded the post, at once sent a messenger to the rebel Camp Baldwin, on the Allegheny mountains, and also dispatched couriers through the country to collect and bring in the militia, who met them to the number of two or three hundred, swelling the rebel force to seven or eight hundred. We had not more than five hundred men, when we got to Huntersville, having only seven hundred originally, and at least two hundred of these had been left to guard various points in our rear. Capt. Alexander made his boast that he could whip us, but the result showed differently. The militia, or, as the boys say, the "flat-footed militia of Pocahontas County," wouldn't stand fire, as they scattered like sheep at the first sound of a gun. We would have pursued, and might have secured a few infantry prisoners, but Major Webster wisely determined that we had better burn their supplies and return before the rebels had time to throw a superior force from Camp Baldwin in our rear, and thus cut off our return. There were two roads leading from that camp to the road by which we had to return, one striking it ten miles this side of Huntersville, and the other coming into it at Big Springs. The Major found five or six of the largest buildings filled with ample quantities of provisions, and at first he determined to take them from the buildings in order to save the latter, but finding it impracticable, he caused them to be set on fire, and seeing them far enough enveloped in flames to make their destruction certain, we set out on our return. As Huntersville receded from our view, the flames were leaping heavenward, and dense volumes of smoke rolling above, from this hole of Secessionism, a just vengeance for its crimes, and from the top of the court-house, the Stars and Stripes - the "flag of beauty and of glory" - were floating gaily in the air, telling the criminal traitors who infested the place that the power of the American Republic was yet in existence.
We left Huntersville about five o'clock in the evening, and marched back ten and a half miles that night, making nearly thirty miles we had marched that day, besides the exhaustion consequent upon the excitement and labor of our skirmishing and charging about Huntersville; and to make it harder, a cold, chilling rain and sleet began to fall about dark, and, when we halted for the night, the boys' guns were covered with a thick coating of ice. So you can imagine that we needed rest, and we got it in barns that night. The next day we marched to Big Springs, where we met another force of our men and Second Virginians, under Lieutenant-Colonel Richardson, of the Twenty-fifth Ohio, who had come out to hold that point and protect our return. Sunday night we got to Elkwater, and Monday at noon we reached here, when the boys gave three hearty cheers for Major Webster, who, in a brief speech, thanked the officers and men of the Twenty-fifth Ohio and Second Virginia for their gallant conduct, and then we set about getting rested.
The expedition was successful in every particular, and to show that we did "secesh" considerable injury, let me state that, according to inventories of the stores on hand at Huntersville, made out a few days before, which Major Webster has in his possession, we destroyed three hundred and fifty barrels of flour, thirty thousand pounds of salt, (a precious article with the rebels,) about one hundred and fifty thousand pounds salted beef, they having just finished killing and salting three hundred cattle, two thousands [sic] pounds coffee, large quantities of sugar, rice, bacon, soap, candles, forage, etc., the value of which may be fairly stated at from twenty-five to thirty thousand dollars. Besides this, we secured a large number of Sharp's carbines and sabres, two or three rebel flags, and a vast number of other articles. I regretted that we could not get our wagons clear through, so that we could have brought away at least a portion of the provisions.
The officers and men of the entire fore reflected great credit on themselves, by their bearing throughout. The march was excessively severe. We were gone just six days, and marched one hundred and four miles - "Virginia miles" - which every soldier will testify are twice as long as any civilized mile, and this, too, in the depth of winter, over miserable roads. Major Webster endeared himself to all by his manly, soldierly bearing, and reflected great credit on himself, by the success which crowned his plans. No better officer can be found in the service. He is a true gentleman, possessing those qualities which fit him for command, and also those which draw the affections of his men to him, and make them feel that he is their friend, and for such a man they will fight to the death.

Report of Maj. George Webster, Twenty fifth Ohio Infantry.
HUTTONSVILLE, W. VA., January 6, 1862.
SIR: I have the honor to report that, in obedience to your orders, on December 31, 1861, at 1 p. in., I left this place with a detachment of 400 men of the Twenty-fifth Regiment Ohio Volunteers for Huntersville, Pocahontas County, West Virginia. At Camp Elk Water I was joined by a detachment of 300 men from the Second West Virginia Regiment, under Major Owens, and at Big Spring by a detachment of 38 cavalry, of the Bracken Cavalry, under First Lieutenant Delzell. I appointed First Lieut. Charles B. Jones, of the Twenty-fifth Ohio, acting adjutant.
On the morning of January 3, finding the road at the base of Elk Mountain, and for a distance of 1 mile, so obstructed by felled trees as to render the farther progress of teams impossible, I left my wagons and detached Captain Johnson, of the Twenty-fifth Ohio, with 50 of the most disabled men, to guard them. Avoiding the obstructions by a detour to the left, I pushed forward to Greenbrier River, and ascertained that a considerable number of militia were gathered at the bridge, 1 mile below, on their way to Huntersville. I directed Lieutenant Delzell with his detachment of cavalry to ford the river, and by a rapid movement across the river bottom to gain possession of the road in rear of the bridge. This he did in most gallant style, and cut off from Huntersville the entire militia force at the bridge, except a few mounted scouts. The balance fled back into the country, evidently in great confusion and dismay. Hastily detaching Captain Williams, of the Twenty-fifth Ohio, with 30 men, to hold the bridge, I pushed forward, and when 2 miles from town the enemy's pickets fired upon my advanced guard:Companies E and G, of the Twenty-fifth Ohio:but after a few shots retired.
The column moved forward, and 1 mile from town I discovered the enemy's cavalry at the extreme of a level bottom field, dismounted and posted over the brow of a hilly spur which jutted out into the field from their right, with Nap's Creek on their left. I immediately deployed a part of the Twenty-fifth Ohio up the hill to our left to turn the enemy's right, and with the balance of our force moved up in front. The enemy at once opened upon us and their fire became general, which was vigorously responded to by our men. They soon discovered my flank movement, however, and falling back to their horses hastily mounted and retreated.
I again moved the column forward, crossed Nap's Creek, and found the enemy posted upon a second bottom, extending from our right nearly across the valley and half a mile in front of town. I promptly deployed Companies A and B, of the Twenty-fifth Ohio, into line to our right, at the base of the hill, to attack the enemy's left, and directed Major Owens, with the Second West Virginia and Bracken Cavalry, to make a considerable detour, turn the enemy's right, and take him in rear. The balance of the Twenty-fifth Ohio I formed to attack in front. This disposition made and in the way of rapid execution under the enemy's fire, and Companies A and B having opened upon his left, the enemy again retired, mounted, and retreated into town. After a few minutes' rest I formed my command into two columns, the Twenty-filth Ohio to move upon the right and the Second West Virginia and cavalry upon the left of the town. In this order the troops rushed forward, cheering, into town as the enemy, after a few inefficient shots, fled from the rear.
We found the place deserted, the houses broken open, and goods scattered, the cause of which was soon stated by a returned citizen. The rebel commander had ordered the citizens to remove all their valuable property, as he intended, if beaten, to burn the town. We found large quantities of rebel stores, consisting in part of 350 barrels of flour, 300 salted beeves, (about 150,000 pounds), 30,000 pounds of salt, and large amounts of sugar, coffee, rice, bacon, clothing, & c, all of which I caused to be destroyed by burning the building in which they were stored, having no means to bring them off. The value of the property thus destroyed I estimated at $30,000. Our forces captured and brought home a large number of Sharp's carbines, sabers, horse-pistols, and some army clothing.
The enemy had in the action 400 regular cavalry armed with Sharp's carbines, and several hundred mounted militia assembled from Pocahontas County the night before. There were also two companies of infantry quartered in town, but fled without making a stand. The enemy's loss is believed to have been considerable. It was reported by a citizen who returned at 1 killed and 7 wounded. Private Oliver P. Hershee, of Company E, Twenty-fifth Ohio, was seriously wounded in the arm. No other casualties occurred on our side. I nailed the Stars and Stripes to the top of the court-house and left them flying. After remaining in town two hours I marched back to Edray through a drenching rain and sleet, having made 25 miles that day. To-day I returned to Huttonsville with the detachment from the Tweity-fifth Ohio, having made a winter march of 102 miles in a little less than six days, and penetrated into the enemy's country 30 miles farther than any body of our troops had before gone. The men are in good condition, considering the march, and are in excellent spirits.
To my second in command, Major Owens, of the Second West Virginia; Captains Washburn. Williams, Johnson, Crowell, Green, and Askew; Lieutenants Higgins, Bowlus, Haughton, Blandy, and Ball, and Acting-Adjutant Jones, of the Twenty-fifth Ohio; to Captains Planky, Gibson, and McNally; Lieutenants West, Ecker, Day, Hunter, Smyth, Huggins, and Weaver, of the Second West Virginia, and to Lieutenants Delzell and Bassett, of the Bracken Cavalry, I desire to tender my acknowledgments for the prompt, efficient, and gallant manner in which they performed their respective duties on the march and in the action.
To the men composing my command generally too much praise cannot be awarded. During the long and weary march their spirits never flagged. They at all times cheerfully submitted to necessary discipline. For one hour and a half in which they were engaged in driving the enemy from cover to cover, a distance of 2 miles, not a man flinched.
I cannot close this report without expressing the deep obligations of myself and comrades of the Twenty-fifth Ohio to the officers and men of the Second West Virginia for the very hospitable manner in which we were entertained at Camp Elk Water last night, and thereby saved a night's exposure to a storm of rain, hail, and snow.
I have the honor to be, very respectfully, yours, & c.,

SIR: I have the honor to inclose[sic] a letter received from General Johnson, commanding the army on the Alleghany, and also one from Colonel Harman, at Staunton, informing me that the enemy were moving against Alleghany. I think re-enforcements ought to be sent him, but it will be impossible for me to do so from this portion of the army, now before the town of Hancock, too great a distance from his position, and he will have to be re-enforced from elsewhere.
I am, respectfully, your obedient servant,

Colonel HARMAN:
The enemy are at Greenbrier in considerable force. I think it likely I shall be attacked in the morning. We are able to hold our position. I received intelligence a day since from the commanding officer at Huntersville that he expected to be attacked by a large force. Our position may be turned. If the enemy get in our rear intelligence from us may be cut off; so you must look to your own expresses for intelligence from us. The enemy may attack here and at Huntersville. Should we be besieged, re-enforcements may be hurried out. You must keep yourself advised in this matter. I have sent for Scott and Goode to come up.
Respectfully, & c.,
Brigadier- General, Commanding.

General W. W. LORING, Commanding Army of the Northwest:
I inclose[sic] you a letter from Gen. Edward Johnson, which I received just as I was leaving Staunton. I immediately telegraphed General Cooper, advising that two regiments be sent up to re-enforce him, if it was possible to do so, as the enemy might get to his rear by the Huntersville road and cut off his supplies. I write by this express to General Jackson, inclosing a copy of General Johnson's letter, thinking you might not be near him.
I am, very respectfully, your obedient servant,
Lieutenant- Colonel, &c.

Report of Brig. Gen. Edward Johnson, C. S. Army.
Camp Alleghany, Va., January 4, 1862.
SIR: Intelligence has just been received that the enemy have entered Huntersville, and that the small force left there by General Loring, some 250 men, had fallen back towards Monterey. I have no authentic information as to the number of the enemy, but it is reported at from 4,000 to 5,000.
I received a communication a day or two since from the commanding officer at Huntersville, stating that he apprehended an attack from the direction of Elk Water. Since the withdrawal of troops from that line it has been at the mercy of the enemy. Colonel Goode, with his regiment, heretofore stationed at Forks of Waters, I ordered to Monterey; Colonel Scott, with his regiment, the Forty-fourth, is at Crab Bottom, some 6 miles from Monterey, in this direction. Both of these regiments are weak:together not exceeding 600 or 700 men. Here I have not in all 1,200 effective men. If it is intended to hold this line it is important that troops should be sent on the Huntersville line or to Monterey. The troops at Monterey, permanently stationed there, are some two or three companies of cavalry. I have sent scouts to ascertain the strength of the enemy at Huntersville. The stores there fell into the hands of the enemy. I got my intelligence from the commanding officer at Monterey, whose report I herewith transmit.
I have directed the commanding officer at Monterey to report directly to Richmond any additional intelligence he may receive. If the enemy advance towards Monterey in force, re-enforcements are imperatively required.
I am, sir, very respectfully, your obedient servant,
Brigadier General, Commanding Monterey Line.

Report of Col. George W. Hull, C. S. Army.
POST MONTEREY, VA., January 4, 1862.
GENERAL; I am unofficially informed that a dispatch was sent to you last night from the commanding officer at Huntersville, informing you of the fall of that place, but do not know that it reached you, or was sent, as I was not informed of it until a few moments ago, when the scouts sent out on that road returned with the intelligence. The place, as I hear, was attacked by some 4,000 or 5,000 men yesterday at 1 a. m. Our troops offered but little or no resistance, being overpowered in numbers. They fell back, and are on their road to this post.
I have scouts out on the road to Huntersville some distance, and will keep you fully advised of any movement of the enemy that I may learn. Most, if not all, our stores fell into the hands of the enemy. Fire was set to the buildings, but it is not believed to have consumed them.
Very respectfully, your servant,
Colonel Commanding Post.
General EDWARD JOHNSON, Camp Alleghany, Va.

Report of Capt. H. M. Bell, assistant quartermaster, C. S. Army.
Sunday Morning, January 5, 1862:5 a. m.
GENERAL: I send you inclosed[sic] copies of dispatches just received from Monterey by special express from Whitely. It appears that the enemy in considerable force have advanced upon and taken possession of Huntersville, our small force retiring before them and offering but small resistance. I have no further information upon the subject, but suppose Monterey will be their point of destination, as I suppose they will hardly risk an advance upon the Central road at Millborough with that force, although the movement would be entirely practicable.
I will hold the force of wagon trains here to carry up any re-enforcements that you may send until I hear from you. I want corn.
In haste, yours, respectfully,
Captain and Assistant Quartermaster, Commanding Post.
General S. COOPER, Adjutant-General.
P. S. : I ascertained from expressmen[sic] that the occupation took place at 1 a. m. yesterday. The force that appeared in General Johnson's front had disappeared at daylight Friday morning, and had not been reported up to dark that night, and is doubtless the same force that is at Huntersville.
[Inclosure[sic] No. 1.]
POST MONTEREY, VA., January 4, 1862.
COLONEL: Yesterday about 1 o'clock the enemy advanced and took possession of Huntersville. Our forces offered but little resistance, their numbers, as I understand from a member of the Tennessee cavalry, being only about some 200 men, while that of the enemy could not be correctly estimated, but supposed to be about 4,500.
Our command at Huntersville is now on its road to this place and will be in to-night. I cannot give you an account of the fight, but sure it is that the town and all our stores are in the hands of the enemy, unless it be that a barn, in which some of the commissary stores were placed, was burned, as fire was communicated to it; but it might have been extinguished by the enemy, who were near at the time of setting fire to it. Nothing new from Alleghany.
Very respectfully, yours,
Colonel, Commanding Post.
Col. John B. BALDWIN, Commanding Post, Staunton, Va.
P. S.:We lost no men, and suppose the loss on the side of the enemy to be about 4.
[Inclosure[sic] No. 2.]
Monterey, Va., January 4, 1862.
CAPTAIN: I write to say that the Yankees, some 4,000 or 5,000 strong, have taken possession of Huntersville, and our forces, some 250 in number, have retreated to this place. What will happen next I cannot tell, but would not be surprised if their next move would be upon this place. I will keep you fully advised as to what may occur.
Very truly,
Captain and Assistant Quartermaster.
Capt. H. M. BELL

There are many benefits to making events reoccurring.
1) You can move events to different dates. With reoccurring events, most of the events will not fall on the date you want it to be on. The great thing is that you can just click and drag the event to a new date without changing the other yearly occurrences.
2) The reoccurring events retain all of the same attributes. The repeated events keep all of the descriptions, links and attachments that the original event had.
3) It only takes 7 clicks to make a single event a yearly reoccurring event. 7 clicks sounds way easier than creating a new event and typing in all of the same info.

Kwok received 2,884 votes to Tsui's 1,997, although the figure was 347 more than his winning result four years ago.
The number of registered voters rose an average of 3.7 percent across Hong Kong last year but Tai Pak Tin, an old district, showed a 28 percent increase to 9,423 this year from 7,364 in July 2014, according to Apple Daily.
It said the registered residential addresses of at least 41 new voters in Tai Pak Tin were public housing estates in the neighboring Shek Lei constituency during the 2011 elections.
The report said the change of address was no coincidence.
It cited an elderly couple, surnamed Ng and Lee, whose residential address had been changed to The Apex, which is part of the Pak Tin constituency, from Shek On House in Shek Lei Estate.
Ng told reporters Kwok had helped his wife change her residential address for voting purposes.
He and his wife still live in their Shek On unit, Ng was quoted as saying.
Ng said his wife babysits their grandson in their son's apartment in The Apex during the day.
He said his wife was persuaded by Kwok's supporters to change her address when she ran into them outside their son's apartment building.
In another case, the newspaper said one of three voters who lived in the same flat in Shek Lei Estate in 2011 had moved to Tai Pak Tin earlier this year.
He had changed his residential address even though he continues to live in Shek Lei Estate, according to a flatmate cited by the reporters.
On Nov. 22, election day, several media reports said groups of seniors were bussed to voting stations by Putonghua-speaking workers.
Kwok's campaign fielded 200 volunteers who went door to door in Tai Pak Tin, the reports said.
Kwok refused to comment when pressed by the reporters nine times about the revelations.
In a statement Monday, she denied the Apple Daily report and said she reserves the right to sue.
Meanwhile, the Democratic Party condemned any act of vote-rigging and demanded an investigation into the matter.
The Registration and Electoral Office said it has passed all complaints to law enforcement authorities.

Thoughts of Next Year: Gieroch's Christmas
I could not find much information about this textile designer, but I just love the whimsy of his designs for this cloth.
This cloth was sold as a cutter and arrived in sad shape. It had never been washed, but 50 years of food stains had not been kind to the fibers. Add in the nicotine stench and discoloration, and this cloth had to have its first bath. It's in usable condition now, but there are several small holes I need to repair.
Despite the holes and remaining stains, the cloth is really fabulous given all of the gold that is still intact.
I think I'll unpack the Skytone next year for a truly 1950's Christmas table.

Fabulous tablecloth even with its flaws!ReplyDelete
I just bought this same tablecloth in similar condition -- all the gold, but lots of nicotine yellowing and other spots. May I ask what you used to soak it that does not affect the gold?ReplyDelete
Also, which came first? This Marion Dorn Christmas tree that looks exactly like that in the tablecloth at first glance, or the John Gieroch design?
Hello and congrats on your new cloth! Because my cloth already had damage, I went ahead and did a quick oxy bath. You can oxy metallic printed cloths if you do the "short and hot" method. By short, I mean 5-10 min max in the oxy (with super hot or boiling water) in a sink or bucket, then plunge in cold water to immediately stop the reaction. Yes, there is a risk that some gold will be lost. With my cloth, it was oxy or the trash. If you don't want to risk the oxy, do woolite in warm water and use oxy to spot clean any bad areas that are not gold. Hope this helps!ReplyDelete
I have also seen that this design has two names associated with it, but I don't have any info about which came first, Marion or John.
Happy Tabletop!


text: of the tongue. I did not have the chance to try the acuteness of the gustatory sense by the galvanic method, as sug- gested by Dr. Newman. This test is well appreciated in the examination of pathological cases. Examination in regard to the sense of smell showed that the sense of touch in the nasal mucous mem- brane was normal, for he felt all irritating, caustic substances, which he evidenced by sneezing after insufflation of tobacco, inhalation of ammonia, etc., but the sense of smell was entirely absent. With viagra prescription over the phone closed eyes, he even by forcible inhalation could not differentiate the odor of volatile oils, of eau de cologne, camphor, or St. Ignatius' beans. Upon irritating the upper part of the nasal septum (where the olfactory nerves end) with a strong aroma, he felt an unpleasant tickling sensation, accompanied by a flow of tears from the corresponding eye. The other special senses viagra need prescription canada did not exhibit any abnor- mal character. The above-described case was, therefore, one of uni- lateral ageusia and bilateral anosmia as a result of a cranial injury. In deciding which nerves governing the functions of smell viagra need prescription canada and taste were affected by the trauma we must exclude the chorda tympani and the lingual branches of the trigeminus, for there was no loss of ordinary sen- sation nor of the power of motion in the tongue. Examination viagra prescription over the phone of the tongue revealed a loss of gusta- tory sensation on the back part of the dorsum of the tongue, where the ends of the glosso-pharyngeal nerve are distributed. Therefore, excluding the branches of the fifth and seventh nerves, we must accept as the cause a derange- ment of the first and twelfth or of certain points of the brain substance connected with them. The hypothesis of a derangement of the olfactory and glosso-pharyngeal nerves is here unlikely, because their cerebral origins are found anatomically far apart in the intervals and separated by various nervous cen- tres. As a result of injuries of these adjacent centres there should be more grave symptoms symmetrically associated with two points in each hemisphere (four in both). Here this was not the case. Therefore we are forced to locate the trouble in the cerebral cen- tres governing the senses of smell and taste. These senses of smell and taste have been located in that part of the brain which is called the gyrus hippocampi. This has been shown experimentally by Claude Ber- viagra prescription over the phone nard, Magendie, Meynert, and others. By destroy- ing these centres the two special senses were com- pletely lost. So we can viagra need prescription canada conclude that the trouble was more probably a lesion of certain cerebral parts rather than of the first and twelfth viagra need prescription canada cranial nerves. In this case the patient suffered with bilateral anos- mia. For this occurrence a probable explanation may be found in the fact asserted by Meynert, that in the anterior commissure there viagra need prescription canada is a crossing of the fila- ments of olfactory nerves; that this crossing can viagra prescription over the phone be seen very distinctly in the lower animal (dogs, cats, rabbits, monkeys, etc.), in which the olfactory lobes are much more developed than in man. Thus, if we admit a connection between the two olfactory centres, there would be no wonder that the patient with cere- bral destruction in the hippocampal gyrus of one side should suffer at the same time with some disturbances on the other side. Gratifying to Smokers. Professor Hajak, of Vi- enna, says smokers are less liable to diphtheria and other throat diseases than non-smokers in the ratio of one to twenty-eight. Dr. Schiff tells us that smoking is forbidden in bacteriological laboratories because it hinders the development of the bacteria. GUNSHOT WOUND OF THE NECK FOL- LOWED BY ANEURISM DELIGATION OF THE LEFT COMMON CAROTID RECOV- ERY. By E. C. CARTER, M.D., ASST. SURG., U. S. A. J. C , private, Troop " D," 10th Cavalry, aged twenty-three, was shot by a comrade with a viagra prescription over the phone revolver, calibre 38, about 6:30 p.m., June 13, 1895. The ball entered the back of the neck one and one- half inches to the left of the median line and one and one-half inches above the seventh cervical vertebra, and ranged horizontally forward. The aperture of exit was viagra need prescription canada one-half inch to the left of the median line of the lower jaw and one-half inch below the mental tubercle. The ball passed between the vertebral column and the great vessels of the neck, wounding some of the latter. There was great shock with irregular action of the heart at times slow, at times rapid and tumul- tuous, due probably to injury of the pneumogastric nerve. There was considerable hemorrhage from the aperture of entrance, perhaps a pint or more. This hemorrhage was easily checked by pressure. A tu- mor three by four inches formed under the left angle of the inferior maxilla. When shot the man fell on his hands and knees, asked "Who shot me?'' and be- came unconscious. He remained unconscious and in convulsions for some hours. Next morning his con- dition was more satisfactory. The wound healed rapidly superficially. The size of the swelling under the jaw diminished gradually, but a small pulsating tumor about the size of a pigeon's egg remained. Surgical interference was contemplated, but after con- sultation with Dr. C. F. Kieffer, viagra prescription over the phone U. S. Army, who gave me valuable aid throughout the case, it was de- cided to wait, keeping the patient under observation. About July 10th the patient was considered to be in sufficiently good condition to make a railway journey of some hundred miles to appear before a United States court.

Blogger Fame is a meme that features a blogger once a week. I currently have a lot of entries, once it clears up, I'll add the link to join again.
Today's celebrity is . . .
Jamie Manning from Writer's Write, Right?
Name: Jamie Manning
Age: I'll Never Tell (Good movie. Creepy. Oh, and it's 34
Location: Alabama (yes, it's the South)
Blog: Writers Write, Right?
Website: Jamie Manning
Twitter: @jmanni32
1) Jamie, what inspired you to start your blog, Writers Write, Right?
JM: I had absolutely no idea that this entire world of blogging existed, where people shared their ideas and thoughts and bumps along the road to their dreams. Once I discovered it, I just wanted to be a part of it!
2) What's the meaning behind your blog title?
JM: I wanted something writing-related, of course, but also something catchy that people would easily remember. This was the result. :-)
3) What is the best and worst part about blogging?
JM: Ooh, tough one! The best would have to be getting to make some amazing contacts through other blogs. I've "met" tons of great writers, agents, readers, and people that I can truly call "online friends" that inspire me every day! The worst? Wow, that's tough. I really don't think there is a "worst", so I'm gonna say the fact that I have to pull away from Bloggerdom (totally a word) and do other things…because I miss it!
4) Which is your favorite genre to review?
JM: YA, 100%! That's what I write, so that's what I love to read. And I'm a horrible reviewer who rarely even remembers to write a review. Just an FYI, take it as you wish. :-)
5) What are your top five favorite books of all time?
JM: Another tough one! Well, the first is easy: To Kill A Mockingbird. That's my all-time favorite book, hands-down. Then there would have to be Twilight, simply because something inside that book kicked me in the derrière and made me pursue my dream of becoming published. And I would have to bring up the rear with Frankenstein (it ranks up there with TKAM, really), A Wrinkle In Time and Old Yeller (saddest book ever!).
6) Who is your favorite author? If you had the chance to meet them, what would you say?
JM: Normally I would say Harper Lee, but I've had the esteemed honor of meeting her (she lives only a mere hour from me!), so…since I live and breathe YA right now, I would have to say Suzanne Collins, because she is sheer genius. As for what I would say? Hmm, probably something like "Uh, umm, uh…adopt me?" Yeah, that's probably it.
7) Do you have any quirks while you write your reviews?
JM: Well, since I don't really write that many (see #4 answer above) I don't really have any Review Quirks. But to pick one, it would have to be eating. I'm a big eater.
8) If you could make a fictional story come alive, which would you pick and why?
JM: Oh now this is a tough one. Even though the world in which it is set is abysmal to say the least, I would have to pick The Hunger Games. I love the world Suzanne Collins created, and I would love to see it come to life. Plus, Peeta would be real, which is pure icing, right? :-)
9) I see you are releasing your own novel, Blood Born, in 2012, can you tell us a little bit about it?
JM: Blood Born begins the story of Avaline, a human/vampire hybrid who has to kill vampires to save her humanity. Even though most people say vampires are dead (pun times!) in Book World, I still love them…and I know countless others do, too. So I wrote the story I wanted to write (which is what every writer should do!). For a more detailed description, you can visit my website, my blog, or my publisher's website at http://www.pendrellpublishing.com/. :-)
10) Which top five blogs do you continually visit?
JM: GReads!, Query Shark, Y(A)? Cuz We Write!, Kiersten White, and Mandie Baxter
11) If you had to give advice to a newcomer, what would you tell them about blogging?
JM: If you feel you have something to say, something to share with the rest of the world, then slide up to a computer and get creative! Blogging can be overwhelming sometimes (trying to create post after post after post is daunting!), so just remember to have fun, always! :-)
Random Questions:
- Favorite TV Show? Current: The Vampire Diaries / All-Time Fave: LOST
- Favorite guilty pleasure? Potato chips. They're my kryptonite.
- Name one book you enjoy but are too embarrassed to admit? A Shore Thing by Snooki. Now I'm gonna be caned or something, I just know it. (and this is a total joke, just in case any of you were thinking of hunting me down and kicking me in the shins) :-)
- Judge book by cover or summary? Summary. And even then I try not to put too much weight in it, because writing a summary is very hard to do!
- Favorite movie? Halloween (the original, from 1978). That movie still creeps me out.
- What do you think about e-readers? Love them. I have one myself. But an actual book will forever be numero uno for me.
- Describe yourselves in three words? Silly. Sarcastic. Laughable.
- Which character would you like to hang out with? Edward Cullen. We could teach each other a few things.
Thank you Jamie for this fun and entertaining interview!

The conference agenda for SES Toronto 2009 introduces some new terms and unique phrases to the search engine marketing industry. For example, the opening keynote on June 8, 2009, will be given by Tara Hunt, the co-founder and chief marketing officer of Citizen Agency and author of "The Whuffie Factor: Using the Power of Social Networks to Build Your Business." In addition, SES Toronto will feature 18 sessions organized into three tracks entitled "Corporateville", "Geek Track" and "Nuts & Bolts".
The event is organized and programmed in cooperation with Andrew Goodman, the founder and president of Toronto-based Page Zero Media, as well as the SES Advisory Board and Search Engine Watch. I should also disclose that SES Toronto is a client.
But I didn't realize how much my vocabulary would expand working with Goodman.
In a press release distributed this morning, Goodman quips, "Robin Williams once quipped that Canada's like a loft apartment over a really great party. But what the people at the big party don't realize is that in our loft party upstairs, we're quietly plotting global domination. Of the world of ideas, of course. 'The medium is the message'? Marshall MacLuhan. 'Gen X'? Douglas Coupland. Whuffie? Cory Doctorow to Tara Hunt. Canadians, all! So, Tweet your followers that the must-attend event will be SES Toronto. We'll get things started with Tara, the author of a book that shows how any business can increase their Whuffie, the store of social capital that is the currency of the digital world. Then, we'll follow with conference tracks that read more like blog headlines and less like title tags."
Now, I have uncovered evidence that Goodman has been plotting this takeover of the industry's thought leadership for months. Check out the interview with him that was conducted last month by Byron Gordon of SEO-PR during SES New York 2009. Listen closely and you'll hear Goodman was already using terms like "Nuts and Bolts" and "Corporateville" and "Geek Track" as if they had already become the lingua franca of search engine marketers.
Andrew Goodman, Page Zero Media, previews SES Toronto 2009
Seriously, having conference tracks that read more like blog headlines and less like title tags just reflects where the industry is headed. As Google itself says in its Webmaster guidelines, "The best way to get other sites to create relevant links to yours is to create unique, relevant content that can quickly gain popularity in the Internet community."
As for Hunt, she is co-founder and chief marketing officer of Citizen Agency, an Internet consultancy specializing in community-centric strategies. She is also the author of "The Whuffie Factor," which is due out this month.
An online marketing pioneer, Hunt is a leading authority on online communities. She specializes in community marketing, which is not about pushing messages or creating strong brands, but building relationships and engaging communities.
Hunt has more than 11 years of experience in web design, eight years in online marketing and over four years of blogging at HorsePigCow. She was named by Fast Company to their list of the Most Influential Women in Technology.
As for the other new words I'm adding to my vocabulary, check out the names of some of the conference tracks and sessions at SES Toronto 2009:
• Corporateville Track: On Monday, June 8, conference sessions include: "Internationalizing Your Campaigns & Sites" and "Beyond Linkbait: Getting Authoritative Online Mentions." On Tuesday, June 9, conference sessions include: "Analytics for Search: ROI, Engagement, Attribution & More"; "The Canadian Agency Landscape"; "Social Media: Do Big Companies Get It?" and "How to Speak Geek: Working Collaboratively with Your IT Department to Get Things Done".
• Geek Track: On Monday, June 8, conference sessions include: "Signals: What Relevancy Indicators Are Search Engineers Watching Today?" and "Optimizing for Video Search: Virgin Territory?" On Tuesday, June 9, conference sessions include: "Follow the Carrot: Cool Mobile Apps"; "Information Architecture, Site Performance Tuning & SEO"; "Paid Search Quality Scoring: 201, 301"; and "Extreme Makeover: Live Site Clinic".
• Nuts & Bolts Track: On Monday, June 8, conference sessions include: "SEO Then & Now: What's the Same? What's New?" and "Universal & Blended Search: Comprehensive Visibility Challenges". On Tuesday, June 9, conference sessions include: "Introduction to Paid Search"; "Campaign Performance Tracking: Basic Tips"; and "Tool Time: The Search Marketer's Free-to-Cheap Goodie Bag".
And on Wednesday, June 10, SES is offering a full-day workshop, "Search Marketing Boot Camp", as well as two half-day workshops, "Search Engine Optimization (SEO) Workshop" and "Google AdWords Tactics to Improve Your ROI". Ah, finally some terms that I've been using for years.
For more information, click on SES Toronto 2009 rates and registration details. If you register through Friday, April 17, you can get the early bird rate and save $370 CAD.
You also get to increase your vocabulary at no additional charge.

This article is about a phenomenon in physics and a character trait. For other uses, see Heterodyne (disambiguation).
Heterodyning[1] is the combination of two or more frequencies to create new and different ones. It is also an extremely complex way of humming, which appears to aid Heterodynes in concentration and allow them to think more clearly.
The ability appears to be innate for members of the Heterodyne family, and in fact was the most obvious sign ✣ of Agatha Heterodyne's imminent breakthrough. However, it can also be reproduced mechanically ✣ , and might be imitable from memory. ✣
This is a strong indicator to the people of Mechanicsburg that someone 'claiming' to be a Heterodyne is genuine, and many of them really need to be convinced of it.
One interesting machine-based instance of heterodyning that appears to have gone unnoticed is during the downloading of Lucrezia/Other into Agatha. The summoning machine produces a short passage of heterodyning music as part of the process ✣ . This opens up a big question regarding the connection between Other-tech and Heterodyne-tech and leads us back to the old question of what Lucrezia was doing when everything went all pear shaped.

I want my home to reflect me, my likes, my loves, my comfort. I want it to become my haven and feel more comfortable and warm every time I add something to it.
You could use a designer, carpenter or DIY, what matters, at the end, is - when you step in, stay, settle down, does it make you happy? If it does, then everything is worth it!!
Since the last few months I have been drooling over home websites, furniture, decor, soft furnishings, fixtures, whatever-else-home-related-you-can-think-of. Came across some lovely inspirations, incorporated a few into my design. Today I will share some of my favourites with you :)
Here we go -

Yes! I am getting a swing in my living room. I have wanted one for ages and this was my chance to get it. More on that when the swing is ready :)

Leaving you with this one - which appeals to the organized (OCD as some call it, but it is not) part of my brain. How cute is this. Need to source this and make a place for something like this. Enthucutlets are you listening??
Next post, next week - Electrical and Plumbing and what I learnt about them. Sounds boring? Let's make it fun shall we :)
Feel free to send in queries, bounce off ideas, share thoughts, inspirations and ideas!!

In the days of my youth I kept a diary – not occasional reflections set down at the instruction of an editor but systematic jottings recording the events of each day. The diary became a slavery. Not a day passed without my sitting down to write in it. I imposed events on myself so that I should have something to write about. Passages were inserted in order to please or sometimes to offend my friends and relations. In fact, there came a time when the diary existed more than I did. When I reached man's estate I ceased to write in my diary and destroyed all the previous volumes. I have never regretted this decision. All that remains of my diary-keeping is a reading-list in which I have recorded the titles of all the books I have read from 1926 to the present day. This comes in useful to remind me of books I had quite forgotten. It also fills me with shame to discover the amount of time I wasted on books not worth reading. But this is a habit that still persists.

Miami Dolphins center Mike Pouncey was flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct in the first quarter of Monday Night's Dolphins-Buccaneers game in Tampa, but ESPN's Mike Tirico just assumed the flag was for Richie Incognito because he's apparently the team bully in Miami. Incognito, as you probably know, is suspended indefinitely amidst the Jonathan Martin hazing saga.
We'll just chalk this up as an educated guess for Tirico.

These type of shows should be conducted frequently as they give us the knowledge about the complete history of classic vehicles and tells us how their mechanisms were improved with time. Secondly, these shows also helps in raising money for some useful means if limited fund is available. And so secure parking is alsways needed for these cool cars. gatwick parking south terminal helps in this regard.

Looking Forward to 2014
Miniatures Games
Bolt Action: I plan to keep going with this for the near term at least. As I push the rules a bit with my historical scenarios I'm finding a lot of limitations that I haven't seen before. Still, I expect to keep up with the game.
Other WW2 Rules: I've got at least two teed up to try out: Battlegroup Krusk and Chain of Command. Both look to be great games, but I've got to get my head around CoC. I will probably continue to explore different rules.
Campaign Games: I much prefer the historical scenarios to the generic "kill each other" or "steal the same prisoner/object/thing-a-ma-bob" scenarios of most rule sets. I'm going to do Operation Bagration this year in honor of its 70th anniversary. (Actually because I have a bunch of 15mm Russians unpainted, but the timing is right.)
Air Combat: This is a no brainer, as I've already bought the planes! I'm jumping into 1/600 scale planes, focusing on Guadalcanal to start but later shifting to Battle of Britain. There are two rules sets that work well for this. I plan on using Bag the Hun paired with Squadron Forward for solo campaigns, and Check your Six! for games with friends.
Additionally, I want to expand my Wings of Glory collection. It's a great game and deserves more attention than I gave it last year. I'm going to stretch myself a tiny bit and say Angels20 is also interesting to me, but the collectible aspect may kill it.
Naval Combat: I don't know what I'm doing for this, but want to try. I've kicked the idea around forever, but it might be time to do something about it. Sails of Glory will hit the stores soon, and I'm likely to get hooked on that. Not sure about this one, but on my mind.
15mm Fantasy: I've got an itch for large fantasy battles, but just don't want to do it in 28mm. I have five viable armies for Kings of War (six if I throw in my Vikings), but the scale does not fit the size table I have. When I deploy my orcs, the units line up end to end from one side of the table to the other. What fun is that? You just move forward and die until you win or lose. Smaller sized bases will work better on a 4x6 and still preserve maneuvering room. Anyway, my mind has been coming back to this constantly.
Samurai Action: Ronin looks hopeful for 28mm, and I am sweet on the idea of a large 10/15mm samurai force for some as-yet-unspecified rules set. I just keep seeing ranks of colorful samurai and want to play something like that without breaking the bank and renting a new house to store it in.
Figure Scales: Each different scale has its good and bad points. I have been consistently getting smaller in scales and have settled on 15mm as a preferred scale for cost and storage considerations. I will probably continue to go smaller, and have been considering 10mm for company sized actions for WW2. So I expect to continue this downsizing, for larger scaled games of course.
This does not mean 28mm is dead, and in fact I'd like to put some 28mm squads together for more skirmish / squad level actions. Plus 28mm is the "social scale" as few other people are prepared to game at any other scale, so I'll continue to invest here as needed. Sign me up for at least a few more squads for WW2 at 28mm. I also have a lot of Reaper models in this scale... ahem.
Other games I'm expecting to be a focus for me in 2014: Malifaux has been great and I want to go further with this. Savage Worlds will provide for my fantasy skirmish replacement that LotR created when it went ridiculous. That's about it here.
Board Games
Whereas last year I wanted to try more, this year I want to try to get more play time for some of my favorites and work in new games.
Pathfinder Adventure Card Game: I can't believe I left this off my list of most played games in 2013! I love this game and will play all the campaigns completely, maybe even with multiple characters.
Combat Commander Series: These games have proven to been excellent investments. The games are not too difficult to teach to new players but have a lot of depth. Also, they play well solo, which is a huge consideration for me. I hate to drop $80 on a game and play it only three times, particularly when the game is as good as this series.
Descent 2: I've been playing in a campaign which is close to finished. I know the expansion introduces another campaign, which I hope to play in. It has been a great game and I expect to continue to enjoy it into 2014.
Elder Sign: While the expansion prolonged the game somewhat, I enjoy this game a lot and try to show it to anyone with interest. It will get played more often this year, at least that's my plan.
DVG "Leader" series games: I've got Phantom Leader and Thunderbolt Apache Leader, which I plan on playing to death! I may get Hornet Leader as well. These will be a mainstay throughout the year.
Living Card Games: Time to finish my Call of Cthulhu collection and keep up with Warhammer Invasion, Netrunner, Star Wars, and LotR! I want to play more LotR than I did last year, and get CoC back on the table too.
Since new games are coming out all the time, it's hard to say what else should be on this list. For Christmas I got Conflict of Heroes:Awakening the Bear. I expect to love it. Discwars: Warhammer is also out and I'm sure to like it as well. I also have Command and Colors Samurai Battles, which is a huge game.
Other Hobby Stuff
Divesting from old games: I'm not playing 40K, WHFB (or Kings of War for that matter), nor am I playing LotR SBG or WAB or Warmachine. So why do I have so many of these armies? It's time to sell them off. Right or wrong, I have some emotional attachment to my Space Marines. My son and I spent a lot of time painting them together and many models were gifts from him to me (which he bought with my money, but that's beside the point). Maybe they won't go. Everything else should go, along with other games I'm not playing. I need storage space.
Painting: I've got to take a chunk out of my pile of Reaper Bones models. This has to happen because (allegedly) in nine months I'm going to get hundreds more dumped on me. My wife will kill me if she sees models pile up! Plus I WANT to paint the stuff.
Storage Solutions: I'm cheap when it comes to storing my models. If I invested in some nice KR Multicases or Battlefoam stuff, I'd have compact, portable storage. I need to get serious about this in 2014.
Well, I'm probably the only person who thought this was an exciting post. In any case, I'm excited for 2014 and the various projects I've outlined for myself in the upcoming year. We'll see what I get through, but it's an ambitious list.
Happy New Year to all!

Hey Jerry I look forward to reading your solo battle reports this year. One Naval Combat game you might want to look at is Victory at Sea. Have a great new year.

Nice list, I too have been wanting to do some Naval games, Pacfic WW2 comes to mind. I have seen the Victory at Sea rules and they look good. Maybe something we need to try with Mike.
Also I have seen those DVG games, I would be interested in trying them.
- January 3, 2014 at 8:58 AM
- Jerry said...
@DGS: Thanks Mike! I will do better at posting battle reports more regularly.
@Tim: Thanks! Victory at Sea does sound good and the Pacific theater would be perfect for it.
The DVG games are strictly solo. The rulebooks are free and you can download them from the DVG website, just to give you an impression of how the games would play.

The Victory at Sea rules are ok. The game originally started out as a Babylon 5 game. Mongoose converted it to Victory at Sea. Once they lost the B5 license they converted it to Noble Armada and A Call to Arms for Star Trek. Overall, the system is ok. The fleet construction rules are meh and not very balanced. They do not use a point system. They have been working on second edition for almost two years so I would wait for that edition. Supposedly, they are working extensively on the fleet construction rules.
Sails of Glory looks great. Of course, I am biased since I received all of my kickstarter ships.
KR Multicase is a great affordable way to store the models. It is a lot cheaper than Battlefoam. While I do like the battle foam bags, I found my KR multicases just as good. The only exception would be for warmahordes. The old metals are so heavy that the Battlefoam bags are key.
Looking forward to gaming in 2014. I plan on ordering my planes shortly.

I'm still in the "thinking about it" stage for naval games. I don't know where that will go this year, but put it on the list.
I really have to get better with storing all my stuff and KR Multicases are far more affordable.

Basketball News
Former Clackamas men's basketball standout Grant Sitton signs to play in Europe
Photo by Christian J. Stewart
TORONTO, July 7, 2017 - Slan Sports Management is pleased to announce that Grant Sitton has signed his first professional contract with BC Prievidza in the Slovakian Extraliga (SBL).
Sitton, a 6'9" forward, is coming off his final season playing for the University of Victoria Vikes in U Sports and the Canada West Universities Athletic Association (CanWest) conference. Last season, Sitton was the third leading scorer in CanWest and 11th leading scorer in U Sport, averaging 19.3 points per game. He also notched 6.8 rebounds, 2.4 assists, and 1.8 steals per game. Sitton was named to the All-Canada West Third Team.
A Brush Prairie, Washington native, Sitton attended Prairie High School before heading to Clackamas Community College, and later transferring to the University of Victoria. In 2015-2016, Sitton averaged 14.4 points and 4.9 rebounds per game, while shooting 82.7% from the free throw line, 13th in CanWest. In 2014-15, Sitton helped lead the Vikes to the CanWest championship and the CIS Final 8 Tournament semifinals.
Sitton is thankful for all those who supported him throughout his collegiate career, and can't wait to begin his professional career.
"Big thank you to my friends, family, and coaches for supporting me over my basketball career," said Sitton. "I'm excited to play at the next level and to see what the future holds."
Prievidza was third in SBL regular season play last season, before losing in the semifinals to the eventual champions, BK Inter Bratislava. In FIBA Europe Cup, Prievidza reached the second stage, where they finished fourth in their group.
"We are excited to add Grant to our club," said Prievidza Head Coach, Ryan Pannone. "He is an athletic and skilled forward that can cause offensive mismatches for teams. He has the skills of a guard with the size of a forward and brings a unique versatility to our team."

After spending almost twenty years living with cats, our first dog came to live with us in 2012. Having a dog has changed my life in so many ways. First and foremost, it has made me see the world in a different way, which has not only benefited my life, but also acted as a source of inspiration for my creativity. These are a selection of posts about how my dog and other animals have inspired me. Click on the title links to read the full posts.
In a shady corner of a local park, a clutch of small stone markers lie almost forgotten. Sheltered by elderly sycamores, adorned by moss, framed by shrubs and wildflowers, the markers show the signs of age.
This post describes an old pet cemetery in our local park.
There is an old episode of the Twilight Zone, in which an elderly man and his dog die and make their way to the afterlife. They approach what they believe to be heaven, only to be told that the dog isn't allowed to enter. The old man decides that it can't be much of a heaven if his dog isn't welcome, so he walks on by.
This post explores the interior life of animals and how that relates to our creativity.
For the first few months of our dog's life with us, 'up' didn't exist. He lived his life at nose level and below. Sometimes, he was puzzled at the noises he heard, such as the gulls above us, because he hadn't yet realised there was another dimension to the world. But already, there were things he knew that I could never know.
This post explores the way a dog sees the world through his nose and how this relates to the way writers view the world.
'Do you remember what it's like to experience the world for the first time? As writers and artists, it's our job to help people to see the world in a different way. At our best, we throw light on a part of experience that wows someone, gives them a moment of epiphany, encourages them to appreciate the beauty (or sometimes the ugliness) of the world in a way they've never experienced it.'
This post explores the way my dog inspires me to view the world with fresh eyes.
'The world is a different place when you have a dog. Strangers approach to talk. People greet you and smile. Walks are punctuated by stops for conversation and new encounters. A whole community of fellow dog lovers opens up and welcomes you in.'
This posts talks about the life lessons I've learned from living with a dog.
The biggest dog walk in the world
'Earlier this month, I went for a walk with 20,000 dogs. Tiny chihuahuas, enormous Saint Bernards, families of huskies and all kinds of dogs in between. We walked three and a half miles with our eleven month old puppy to complete the Great North Dog Walk.'
This post describes my experience of taking part in the biggest dog walk in the world.

text: In this issue I have yet more Parisian shopping bargains and discoveries in store for the readers of paris-eiffel-tower-news..: designer leather and furs direct from the manufacturer's workshop, fine crystal and more! Rue de Paradis A crystal paradise? Another thing that will strike you as you visit Rue de Paradis will be the number of shops offering world-renowned Limoges porcelain, plates, and dinner sets, as well as fine crystal products, from glasses and wine decanters to chandeliers. Crystal is a type of glass which contains a small percentage of lead to lend it more clarity and sparkle than ordinary glass. Crystal is usually cut to enhance its reflective qualities, making it a very pretty, highly valued (and more costly) type of glassware. Most shops on Paradis street sell "Cristal de Baccarat", an expensive and prestigious brand of crystal with a long and distinguished history dating back to the early 1800s, and known for supplying royalty with its production. Those of you who don't want to fork out a load of money, there is a shop at No. 52 named 'Dcor et Cristal' which carries a different type of crystal. Their source is from a factory in Eastern France, the 'Cristallerie des Vosges du Nord'. Although not Baccarat crystal, theirs is still high-quality, and–I was told by the sales assistant–even dishwasher safe! Prices are great too: some models of crystal glasses retail at 6 euros a piece instead of the usual 30 euros. Products are offered at 20 to 60% discounts. Dcor et Cristal is located at No. 52 rue de Paradis, 75010 Paris. Their phone number is: 33 (0)1 4824 5733. Loose yourself at Le Grand .ptoir If you find yourself in the 7th district, take some time to stop by 116 Rue du Bac and check out the Grand .ptoir (the Big Counter), a luminous and refined shopping place filled with a motley of weird and wonderful Parisian items. The entrance courtyard is lined with a variety of cow pictures in tribute to "Vach'art", the French version of CowParade, a movement that started in Zurich in 1998 and now spans the entire globe (and for cow fans, you'll find some miniatures for sale inside). The top level of the Grand .ptoir offers a full array of ready-to-wear clothes for men and women. Beauty products and foodstuffs are on the ground floor, along with many shops selling indoor and outdoor house accessories and a host of other things: old style photos albums with pictures of Paris, pillows with your own black and white photo printed on them, dinner sets, wine bottle boxes, lights, linens, art, etc. You can also shop for gorgeous rustic pieces of heavy wooden furniture and wrought-iron (and typically Parisian) benches. These items are of course unlikely to fit into your suitcase, but they are rather nice to look at anyways. Prices are all over the place, but there's plenty of affordable stuff for bargain hunters. Le Grand .ptoir is located at 116 rue du Bac, 75007 Paris, and can be accessed from the 'Sevres-Babylone' metro station. Their phone number is: 33 (0)1 4049 0095. Parisian designer leather & fur – direct from the manufacturers! I couldn't believe my luck when, wandering through the Rue de Paradis on the lookout for yet more shopping bargains for the readers of paris-eiffel-tower-news.., I spotted the workshop exhibition of Jekel. Since 1947, Jekel has been bringing French fashion know-how to designer leather and fur. I know fur isn't the most popular item in the United States, and it is much less worn in Europe than in the 1920-50s. The art of designing fur coats and accessories is quickly disappearing, a less than a hundred craftsmen remain in activity in Paris. Finding fur clothing may soon be as difficult as finding a genuine Rembrandt in an attic. I met with the owner of Jekel, Sylvain Jekel himself who explained that his workshop creates and sells exclusive designer leather models, and fur clothing and accessories. Jekel distribute their goods internationally to ready-to-wear names and quality retailers such as Galeries Lafayette, Sonya Rykiel, Darel, Apostrophe, etc. The workshop is situated at No. 22 Rue de Paradis. The ready-to-wear clothing available off the rack is not tailor-made, but Sabrina, the lovely assistant I met, confirmed that Jekel could adjust items on the spot for you (and indeed, she was busily adding a button for a customer as we were speaking). Prices start at 300 euros, and they can even ship your purchases oversees so you don't have to overload your suitcases. Once again, the address of the Jekel workshop is 22 Rue de Paradis, 75010 Paris. Their phone number is 33 (O)1 4770 7390, and you can get there from the following stations: 'Gare de l'Est', 'Poissonniere', and 'Chateau d'Eau'. Discover your very own Paris: don't miss the next issue of paris-eiffel-tower-news.. newsletter by Phil Chavanne, Paris veteran and author. Each issue brings you tips on everything Paris, from great spots for a stroll to off-the-beaten-track attractions, to the best in real Parisian eateries. 相关的主题文章:

I drove over to Spokane, WA yesterday to pick up the new Exalted book. I had a blast. I met Gabe from Penny Arcade. He did an autographed sketch for a pal in Tennessee. He seemed like a cool guy. Nice to meet people who don't take themselves too seriously. I also grabbed the new Neil Gaiman Sandman comic and an Initial D Eurobeat CD. Like Alice DJ said, "Who needs guitars, anyways?"
Now it's time to see if I can make this old scanner cooperate. The show must go on! Hope all you mecha fans out there are having fun too.
We havin' fun yet?

If you don't like the news then go make some of your own.
Havin' fun,sure am.I spent the afternoon on my moms' roof repairing and resealing it. Aggravating,but it still had to be done before winter,next job is trimming tree limbs away from the power lines,if you didn't guess I live in the country.Did you notice that MAHQ has been down most of the weekend,all I get is a DNS error,I actually wondered if they somehow blocked me from the main site.Well,that's about all that's going on here in Scioto county,Ohio,just trying to enjoy some of the last nice days before the weather turns sour.....usually we get a rainy fall,I'm suprised the rain has held off this long,just a matter of time though.
Do you understand?
