Protecting the Ultimate Aliens sections
i think we should protect or Semi-Protect the ultimate aliens articles because people are putting fan names and other unconfirmed information.Linkdarkside 14:05, February 24, 2010 (UTC)
- Sounds like a plan. In the past days there have been way too many edits on those articles, and it's pretty much just fan speculation. I'd say we just semi-protect for now since most pages have been created by non-registered users. --Yuidirnt 14:09, February 24, 2010 (UTC)
i semi-protected the Ultimate Spidermonkey,Ultimate Big Chill ,Ultimate Swampfire pages and Ben10: Ultimate Alien page.Linkdarkside 14:30, February 24, 2010 (UTC)
- Awesome. I protected the Ultimate Humongousaur, Terraspin and Armodrillo pages, I'll also keep an eye on the Recent changes page to see if anyone tries to create pages for new unconfirmed aliens. --Yuidirnt 14:35, February 24, 2010 (UTC)
Thank you guys Dwayne Mcduffie confirmed that these are not real names.Ben10fan1234 02:23, April 9, 2010 (UTC)
I completely agree with u guys, but whoevar is editing away Toepick, Squidstrictor, Atomix, Eatle, and Etc. Needs to stop because they ARE confrimed aliens
Ben 10: Evolution now is Ben 10: Ultimate Alien?according to reports in the Toy fair the show is being called Ben 10:Ultimate Alien
should we wait a little more before changing the page name?Linkdarkside 23:00, February 15, 2010 (UTC)
apear to be confirmed and it stated to premiere in april.

in ben 10 (series) are 2 episodes from ben in the future.(ben 10,000 end ken 10)
but this is (probably) not his truly future because that kevin is his enemy + kevin has his old mutated form back(in ben 10 alien force he never use it,so i think he`s lost it or something).
my own arguments:
but i have heard that he helps ben in ben 10 alien force only for gwen and the stuff (alien tech), but mostly for gwen.
plus:he can have absorbed the omnitrix again, but then he would have all the aliens that he(the omnitrix/ben) has accesed on that moment. so,i`m confused now.
p.s.1a:please leave a message on my talk page.
p.s.1b:i know this is not the right the right place, but i need some help with the watchlist.

It has been confirmed by the writers that the episode "Ken 10" was a "What if?" episode, kinda like the "Gwen 10" episode. Kevin seemed to only help because of his like of gwen and the plumber tech, but he is truly knoble at heart, as he admits in a few episodes that his real father was a plumber and he wants to follow in his foot steps. Ben, Gwen, and Kevin can now be considered best friends. At this point Kevin can't absorb material or energy as he used to, caused by feedback from the omnitrix in the first episode of season 3 of alien force, right now he is in a "monster"-like form (not really) made of metal, stone, wood, and some type of crystal. He can morph the shape of his various body parts into weapons made of these materials to fight. As of right now, Kevin has no way of becoming Kevin 11,000 (plus Ben is now more likely to marry Julie instead of the other chick from the Benwolf episode). Although, Kevin is supposed to be back to his regular form in the upcomming series Ben 10: Evolution. Peter 10 05:20, February 19, 2010 (UTC)
Yes ALL of the future episodes are not canon including good bye and good riddanceBen10fan1234 02:24, April 9, 2010 (UTC)
its true it was a what if but nothing else if thir is a new series after ultimate alien not evolution it way be on the future episodes.AbsolutePower1 20:24, February 7, 2011 (UTC)
The Ken 10 and the Ben 10,000 episode are not real futures because of a couple of reasons 1.Ben had the Omnitrix which was destroyed in the episode The Final Battle: Part 1. 2.Kevin was evil (but he may have switched sides again). 3.IF Ben did have the Omnnitrix again in the future and he gave one to his son,Kenny Tennyson then the omnitrixes would not be working because in Good Copy,Bad Copy Azmuth revealed that there can only be one omntrix or both of the omnitrixes would short out. 18.104.22.168 16:34, March 6, 2011 (UTC)

Elena in Ultimate Alien?
Is the comic featuring Elena in the the Bandai toy fair the reason why people think she'll appear in Ultimate Alien or did Dwayne comfirm this? --Renzo493 05:55, April 7, 2010 (UTC)
as far as i know Dwayne have said wait and see ,which confirm nothing--Linkdarkside 12:03, April 7, 2010 (UTC)
- As far as I know, no-one confirmed that Elena will appear in Ultimate Alien. It was also on the Wikipedia page but it has been long removed because of the lack of source for the information. --Yuidirnt the Kevin 11 fan! 12:16, April 7, 2010 (UTC)
Link you are a user at dwaynes forum too whats your screennameBen10fan1234 02:26, April 9, 2010 (UTC)
at the toy fair the was a picture of a cover of a Ben 10 Ultimate Alien comicbook with Elena on it. And since Nanomech is in the new series, it is suffice to say the ManOfAction is including Alien Swarm in the plot, unlike Race Against Time (as far as we know). Peter 10 05:47, April 21, 2010 (UTC)
actually, it was an alien swarm comic book, not an ultimate alien. --Renzo493 06:53, April 21, 2010 (UTC)
my bad. (and technically, it's the prequil). but the fact that Ben still has his car and Nanomech (both premired in the movie) means that it's still possible. Peter 10 22:16, April 25, 2010 (UTC)
Did Dwayne comfirmed that Elena and her father will appear in Ultimate Alien, because somebody keeps putting that she will appear in it because "she appeared in the comic" and she'll appear in the episode "Outbreak". Can somebody give me a link that he comfirmed this? --Renzo493 13:06, April 28, 2010 (UTC)
There will be an episode of Ben 10 Ultimate Alien called Revenge of the Swarm where elena will appear. 188.8.131.52 16:37, March 6, 2011 (UTC)A Wikia Contributor220.127.116.11 16:37, March 6, 2011 (UTC)

Yes but CN in the uk and maybe other places are treating it as two seasons.Alpha111 16:13, January 24, 2011 (UTC)
And since the show is from the USA, I don't see your point.

I was just saying that It's only CN in the USA that has done it. The USA isn't the only place that matters you know. Alpha111 09:46, January 25, 2011 (UTC)
However, since it is the place where the show originated, the admins accept USA's CN as a source. Please note that while I do not agree with it (I edited it myself and even created a category for season 3 episodes), I can see their point.

Original plans
Personally i think that the writers were going to make more ultimate versions and also unlock more aliens becuase why else would they all be in the intro from the start but some didnt even appear? Season 1 followed that pattern with the five andromeda aliens and also bringing back ripjaws and four arms. But for some reason, when season 2 was made, they seemed to change their mind and just waited until ben 10,000 returns to unlock them all in a large number. Coop3 (talk) 12:29, August 26, 2012 (UTC)
Things may have changed due to factors like budget and actors so as a result they cant always make the stories they want.

What's the difference between a computerized ATS (Applicant Tracking System) and a black hole?
Not much, if you don't know which aspects of your resume give you a good ranking vs. what makes these software programs choke.
The people who work with these tools say it best: "[They're] a wonderful tool (if utilized correctly) for recruiters and hiring managers; however, they can be a black hole for the applicant if their resume is not accurately targeted to the open position with appropriate keywords and/or highlighted experience," according to Laurie M. Winslow, principal at Talent Innovations Group Inc. Winslow has worked with a slew of vendors' ATSes over her 20-plus years in human resources, as an executive search consultant, an in-house corporate recruiter and as a career coach and professional resume writer.
TheLadders spoke to ATS vendors and people like Winslow — the professionals who use this technology — to unlock these mysterious black boxes to figure out how they handle your resume. We also spent time with these pros to figure out how your resume gets handled by other computer systems, including e-mail security screening.
Use this list to ensure your resume gets where it needs to go and that it receives as high a ranking as possible, optimizing your chances of getting an interview.
Lisa Vaas covers resume writing techniques and the technology behind the job search for TheLadders.

Brisbane: Former England allrounder Andrew Flintoff has signed a short-term contract as Brisbane Heat's star recruit for Australia's Twenty20 Big Bash cricket competition.
The Heat confirmed Thursday that 36-year-old Flintoff, who played 79 Tests and 141 limited-overs internationals, would arrive in December to play the last half of the tournament and also work as a television analyst.
Flintoff came out of retirement in May, and helped Lancashire reach the English T20 Blast final in August.
Heat coach Stuart Law said he wants Flintoff to be bowling fast, hitting sixes, and using his wealth of experience to help the squad.
Law says, "Brisbane fans will quickly discover he's a champion fella and I'm sure they will love having him with the team."
Flintoff, the 2005 Ashes player of the series, and former England teammate Kevin Pietersen are two of the tournament's marquee signings.

PBS Cooking Shows.
I know that public television airs different things in different places, but does anyone watch the PBS cooking shows? Despite having a gazillion cable channels which includes the Food Network, I still make time to watch Mark Bittman's show, Lydia Bastianich's show and a few others. Sometimes they air Jacques Pépin's old show, which is a real treat. So, do any of you guys watch these shows or remember these shows? It's where I first saw Michael Chiarello when I was like, 13. I had the biggest crush on him and would anxiously await his arrival every Saturday afternoon.

If Jon "Bones" Jones Beats Brandon Vera, What's Next for Him?February 11, 2010
Unless you've been under a rock for the last year and a half, then you know who Jon Jones is. Jones is arguably the hottest prospect in the UFC right now. And if you have seen him fight, then you know exactly why. Jones fights in a stacked light-heavyweight divsion, a divsion that features stars such as Thiago Silva, Forrest Griffin, and Lyoto Machida. And he may stand out above them all (at least, in my eyes).
What does Jones bring to the cage, you might ask? Well there is the very solid, very unorthodox striking game. Not to mention the dominant takedowns, especially from the clinch. His submissions are good, especially so early in his career. Jones is proficient in Muay-Thai and Greco Roman wrestling. Training with Greg Jackson down in Albequerque will only make him a better fighter, and that's just scary, especially if you fight at 205.
What about his physical traits? Jones stands 6 ft. 4 inches tall, and has an incredible reach (and the longest in the UFC) of 84 inches. He is very strong. You want evidence? Watch his three round domination of Stephan Bonnar. Jones took Bonnar down countless times in that fight.
He was also able to keep him down, which not many people are able to do. As mentioned above, Jones' striking is very unorthodox. For example, he has popularized a move that is now known as the spinning-back elbow.
Jon Jones is also a very consistent fighter, losing only once in his first ten fights. His first loss? It was by DQ via illegal elbow. Before the elbow was thrown, Jon Jones was dominating TUF vet Matt Hamill.
But I'm not going to ramble on about how great Jon Jones is. I'm going to talk about what happens to him after he beats Brandon Vera. Obviously, the fight won't be for a title shot. Brandon Vera was out of title contention a long time ago, and Jones hasn't done quite enough in the UFC to earn one.
So, here is my proposition.
When Jon Jones beats Brandon Vera at UFC On Versus 1, match him up against someone who challenges him in all aspects of the game. Make it against a fighter who is popular, a fighter fans love no matter what. There are many fighters who fit the bill, but there is only one that I'm thinking about. Enter Forrest Griffin.
Forrest Griffin made a name for himself by fighting in the greatest fight in UFC history; Forrest Griffin vs. Stephan Bonnar. That was about five years ago. Since then, Griffin has gone on to become one of the greatest light-heavyweights in UFC history.
The fans love him, Joe Rogan loves him. And Forrest always puts on a good fight, save for when he got dominated by Anderson Silva.
Griffin is going into a bout against Antonio Rogerio Nogueira. Considering that it's at UFC 114, at the end of may, the likelihood of a Jon Jones vs. Forrest Griffin fight in the near future is small.
But if the UFC pulled it off, imagine the money they could make.
Jon Jones, after his performance at TUF 10 Finale in December, is very marketable. Forrest Griffin has been marketable since 2005, and his marketability has only increased since then. This is a fight that could headline a UFC card on pay-per-view. Like Matt Hamill, Forrest Griffin will show us what more Jon Jones has to offer.
If Jones loses the fight, then no big deal. After all, it would be only his twelfth professional fight, against one of the best 205 pounders in the world. He would be forgiven. But if he won, imagine the money the UFC could make off of him. This kid is only 22. He is already a tough fight for almost anyone. The sky is the limit for him. In five years, he could be one of the best in the sport.
If your still here, thanks for hanging in there through all the rambling. What I'm trying to say is the UFC needs to market Jon Jones starting now. They have already stepped forward, making him the main event of a big fight card. After that, please pit him against Forrest Griffin. After all, what can go wrong if he loses to one of the best in the game?

text: Understand this is a pseudo-religious question. I have been using C++ with MFC for years now. Its continuous extensions especially these days with DCOM (soon to be DCOM+) make it hard to beat in a windows environment. Considering the continuous increase in market share of Windows (95+NT) over all other operating systems (including UNIX) this is an important factor. Somebody here mentioned Java. I have looked at Java from time to time. While the idea of a generalized platform sounds good it appears in almost all cases to fall short of expectations. To me there seemed to be too much hype with little actual performance. A well known example was a "major word processor company" that essentially lost their market share trying to switch their system over to Java platform. They gave up! I know of no significant application written in Java out there at the moment. As to Perl - I think for straight string manipulations it is hard to beat. However if you need to control the GUI interface in any special way, forget it. I have to say the language does not flow for me as C++ does but that is probably a personal opinion.

Tomas Berdych vs Ivo Karlovic Preview: Rogers Cup 2011 Third RoundAugust 11, 2011
The 2011 Rogers Cup has seen a couple tremendous upsets through the first two rounds as both Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray are out of the tournament following shocking upsets. Both of those top players were on the same half of the draw and that has left a place in the final open to a player who doesn't always have the chance to do that well in a Masters level event, a fact that can't be lost on either Tomas Berdych or Ivo Karlovic.
Berdych and Dr. Ivo are set to face one another on Thursday in a third-round match from Montreal, a match that should feature its share of aces.
Berdych is 6'5" while Karlovic is 6'10" and both players, especially Karlovic, have plenty of power when it comes to their service game.
Berdych is the the seventh-seeded player at the ATP Montreal event while Karlovic is ranked well outside of the top 100. However, on his day the Croat is capable of playing with nearly everyone as his booming serve is, at times, unbreakable.
Berdych, though the more talented player, has had trouble with Karlovic in the past. Entering Thursday's match Berdych has a losing record against Karlovic at 1-2 although they have not met on tour since 2008.
Since that time Berdych has improved into the top-10 player that he now is while Karlovic, perhaps showing his age, is only experiencing intermittent success in tour level events.
Berdych, who is more agile than Karlovic, is into the third round following a bye through the first round and a three set test against the dangerous Alexandr Dolgopolov. Karlovic has survived two three set battles against Juan Monaco and Philipp Petzschner, the latter going to a third set tiebreaker that Dr. Ivo won by the minimum two points.
The key to the match for Karlovic is to pound down the aces however you have to think that Berdych will be the fresher player. Karlovic, besides playing two matches that each went three sets, has already played in five tiebreakers at the Rogers Cup this year.
His playing style keeps him on the court for hours, something that fatigues him, as he doesn't yield many breaks but nor does he break his opponents too often.
Look for Berdych to pull this one off, a match that starts at noon in Montreal, and to move on to the quarterfinals where he will face either Janko Tipsarevic or Ivan Dodig.

Appliance Repair Questions? Ask a Technician for Answers ASAP
Thank you. We put the dishwasher on the 40 degree programme and empty to test what happened following your suggestion.
All seemed to be working fine until it suddenly failed after 27 mins. When I opened it the rinse light was solid green and the start light was flashing green 3 times then repeating.
kind regards
thank you, I'm not capable to doing this myself so we shall seek further advice on whether it's likely to be cost effective to repair or whether it makes more sense to replace the dishwasher. kind regards Paul

It's a bold strapline – but what does it mean? Have we opened an atmosphere research facility in outer space? Organised an aquatic Charity Day in the Mariana Trench? Well, if you didn't know anything about Analox you'd be forgiven for wondering. After all, three-hundred and seventy kilometres above the earth is a long way from Stokesley. And eleven thousand metres under the sea is nearly seven miles deeper than West Beck, our local tributary. For a compact and bijou manufacturer in North Yorkshire we certainly get around.
Since 1981 we've been designing and manufacturing gas monitoring systems for use in extreme environments. Many thousands of Analox gas sensors are now permanently deployed to analyse breathing air and check for toxic gas contamination. Our niche gas detection solutions protect lives not only on the surface of the earth but also in the tunnels beneath it, the atmosphere above it and in the watery depths of its oceans (our gas sensor technology is used by more than twenty of the world's submarine operating nations).
Analox instruments are designed to function in some very hostile places. The working conditions tolerated by our equipment – let alone by its human operators – are difficult to imagine. The sea is a good example: perpetual darkness below 1000 metres; temperature just above freezing; pressures reaching several thousand pounds-per-square-inch (compared with 30psi in an average car tyre). It's tough down there. Nevertheless Analox's oxygen analysers, carbon dioxide monitors and gas sensors are used in submersibles the world over.
We have 30 years' experience in producing custom gas sensors for offshore gas detection, scuba diving and other difficult gas monitoring applications. We're a household name in some of these sectors. We're also an active participant in the undersea defence and security industry and our military division, AMS, develops submarine gas analysers and life-saving escape-and-rescue systems. Our Sub MKIIP breathing air monitor is currently the only portable device of its type that is compliant with the NATO standard, STANAG 1320 Ed 4.
Analox has never believed that the sky is the limit. Our products now make return trips to outer space and circle the globe in low earth orbit. The cosmos brings an entirely different set of technical problems than those encountered on earth or under sea but these are solved through the same attention to research and design. The specially built carbon dioxide and oxygen sensors embedded in our celestial 'SV Multisensor 2' demonstrate their pedigree by making trips to, from – and even in – several satellites orbiting the earth.
Space presents its own particular environmental challenges. Instead of high pressure there is no pressure – or rather, there is a vacuum. There is no air. In its place there are solar particles, galactic cosmic rays, extreme temperatures and electromagnetic radiation. Anything sent into space is at risk of being frozen, boiled, decompressed, asphyxiated, ionised or irradiated. And in the same way that astronauts are expected to pass very demanding tests before being selected, so too are their tools and instruments.
Analox has taken a modular approach to the design of aerospace gas monitoring devices. The SV Multisensor 2 is small enough to be fitted almost anywhere, and is ideal for integration with existing cargo and cabin monitoring systems. The compact SV HAT, a humidity and temperature sensor, may be used to check the storage conditions of spaceborne goods on their way through the Karman line. The 3000SI range provides sensors for more than a dozen types of gas in a robust, Zone 0-rated housing – ideal for spacecraft atmosphere control.
We're proud to be able to stand by our bold strapline and encourage you to 'challenge us' with your atmosphere monitoring endeavours, we're confident we'll have a solution for you.

OK I have a page on a client's site that opens a PDF's of selected maps when they click on the thumbnail of the maps. All of them work fine for me and any computer I have tested on, but for her, she says thhat they all work fine, except the Seating Plan Map. She says that it tells her Adobe cannot open the file.
All maps were made the same way, Saved in Illustrator, all the same version of Acrobat, and I've tried rebuilding the problem PDF a hundred times...
Has anyone ever seen this before, and does the map work for you???

Before Christmas, I was in the EasyShare program, looking for a particular picture. I hit one (or 2) keys by mistake--Either/or shift key on right side, the Control key,the one that looks like a window and also one that looks like a printed page. The Easy Share program disappeared so fast, I hardly so it go.

SARATOGA SPRINGS -- It was all smiles and handshakes when newly-minted U.S. Rep. Scott Murphy arrived for his first appearance in the district since Wednesday's inauguration.
All smiles except for one customer of the U.S. Postal Service, who admonished Murphy's crowd of supporters for blocking him on his way to drop mail in the drive-by box.
But one person's sour disposition wasn't enough to subdue the atmosphere as Murphy formally opened his first district office, using the same Broadway storefront last occupied by Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand. The office was operated by the clerk of the House of Representatives to maintain constituent services after Gillibrand was appointed to the Senate. Murphy's staff will now operate the office, along with others to be opened.
"I wanted to get this office open to make sure we continue in the same vein as Kirsten in terms of constituent services," Murphy said. "Right now, we're working to put people to work in my office so that they can start working for constituents."
When asked how his life had changed since his opponent, State Assemblyman Jim Tedisco, conceded the race for congress last Friday, Murphy remarked that he'd been receiving more congratulations than usual.
"I'm not used to people congratulating me when I buy groceries," Murphy joked with a crowd outside his office. "For the last month, I don't think people knew what to say."
The event was Murphy's first "Congress on Your Corner," an event designed as a forum with constituents first held by Gillibrand during her first term. Murphy said it was important to continue to hold the event, because it provided a key interaction with the people he was elected to represent.
Now that his road to Congress is complete, Murphy said his first priority would be to start working on the economy.
"People are very concerned about the economy, and rightly so," Murphy said. Before his stop in Saratoga Springs, Murphy joined U.S. Rep. Paul Tonko and Gov. David Paterson at a project in Albany that has received stimulus funding.
Murphy noted that in addition to putting road crews to work, stimulus projects also serve to aid businesses by making it easier for vehicles and pedestrians to access them.
Shortly after moving into the congressional offices formerly held by Gillibrand, Murphy was also named to the same committee appointments as his predecessor, Agriculture and Armed Services, both appointments he'd requested.
When asked what issues he would tackle in his committee, Murphy stated that agriculture was an important concern for many of his constituents, particularly in Washington County, and the Armed Services committee was facing a number of difficult issues, which he was getting ready to work on.
While Murphy announced that he had hired Rob Schultz as district manager, he said other staff were still to be named, including a legislative director.
Schultz, originally from the Schenectady area, has worked as the political coordinator for the Capital Region with the Civil Service Employees Association, a major labor organization, for seven years. In that capacity, Schultz said he worked in a region that encompassed most of the 20th Congressional District.

Obama meets robot giraffe
It's not every day that a president meets a robot giraffe.
Obama got the opportunity Wednesday at the "White House Maker Faire," which brought together students and inventors working on manufacturing projects involving science, technology, engineering and math.
"Look at this!" Obama said of the mechanical giraffe. "I like those ears!"
When someone suggested a presidential ride aboard the robot giraffe, Obama said "the Secret Service may not like that."
The White House event mirrored "maker faires" held in other parts of the country. In public remarks to his guests, Obama also mocked the idea that organizers added the Old English "e" at the end of the term "Faire."
"Why is there an 'e'?" Obama asked. "Is there jousting?"
Obama told the crowd, "I'm just warning you, next year, the 'e" may be gone. ... This is America — we don't have 'e's' at the end of 'fair.'"

At approximately 8:40am on Tuesday, a plane carrying 144 Rwanda National Police (RNP) officers left Kigali International Airport bound for Juba where they are to serve under the auspice of United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS).
At approximately 8:40am on Tuesday, a plane carrying 144 Rwanda National Police (RNP) officers left Kigali International Airport bound for Juba where they are to serve under the auspice of United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS).
- ACP Rangira leads the officers as they prepare for departure at Kigali International Airport.
The officers, who left aboard the national flag carrier – RwandAir –, constitute a Formed Police Unit (FPU) contingent of 160 under RWAFPU II-1, an additional force that joins RWAFPU II hybrid of 240 officers. There are also 29 other Rwandan officers working as 'Police Advisors' under UNMISS
RWAFPU II-1, which includes 26 female officers, is headed by Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Bosco Rangira as its contingent commander.
They were saluted off at the airport by the Commissioner for Training, Commissioner of Police (CP) Joseph Mugisha.
Prior to their deployment, the officers were on Sunday briefed by the Inspector General of Police (IGP) Emmanuel K. Gasana, who challenged them to stay focused to their mission mandate with professionalism and maximum discipline.
"Maintaining the police doctrines, national values, respecting and looking out for each other is part of our tradition to success that should define your daily operations during your one year peacekeeping mandate," IGP Gasana told the officers.
While highlighting Rwanda's commitment to international peace, the Police Chief urged them to set forth the image that the country maintains in peacekeeping.
RNP spokesperson, ACP Theos Badege, while addressing journalists at the airport, shortly after the departure of the contingent, , said the officers were well trained and well-equipped to counter the mission challenges and effectively execute their duties.
"The mandate of the FPU contingent will be protecting civilians from eminent threats, public order management, protection of UN key installations and personnel, and humanitarian assistance," said ACP Badege.
This new FPU contingent brings the number of Rwandan police peacekeepers in all missions to about 1200 personnel.
The new contingent is the sixth that RNP currently maintains in peacekeeping missions, with three of them in Central African Republic (CAR) and one in Haiti, each composed of 140 officers.

The Meyer-Krause-Morton site:Information about Edward Sanderson
Edward Sanderson (b. Bet. 1602 - 1615, d. Bet. 1645 - 1673)
Notes for Edward Sanderson:
The source from the Family Search Ancestral File states that Edward lived from 1615-1645, and that he was born as well as died in Massachusetts.The WFT #77 states that he lived from Aug 17, 1602 to February 19, 1673, and that he was born in England.
His son Jonathan is listed in more than one place as having been born in 1646, which fits better with the WFT date.Also, his brother Robert is listed uniformly to have been born in England, so it seems that the WFT facts may be more accurate.
More About Edward Sanderson and Mary Eggleston:
Marriage: 1645, Watertown, Middlesex, MA.
Children of Edward Sanderson and Mary Eggleston are:
- Jonathan Sanderson, b. July 15, 1646, Watertown, Middlesex, MA, d. September 03, 1735, Waltham, Middlesex, MA.

Welcome to Lopez Island, the first ferry stop from Anacortes aboard the Washington State Ferries. Sailing time is approximately 45 minutes so enjoy the ride as you wander past some of the smaller islands that make up this archipelago comprised of 175 named islands. And keep your eyes peeled for bald eagles, seals, otters and the occasional orca whale.
You can also fly to Lopez on daily scheduled flights from Sea-Tac Airport or seaplane from Lake Union in downtown Seattle. Water taxi service is also available from Anacortes. Boaters coming to the Island will find protected moorage at two marinas in Fisherman Bay, within ½ mile walking distance to Lopez Village. Both marinas offer a variety of amenities including restrooms and picnic areas. Bike and kayak rentals are also nearby. Boaters can also find public mooring buoys at Spencer Spit State Park and Odlin County Park. Public launch ramps are available at Odlin County Park, MacKaye Harbor and Hunter Bay.
Lopez is the most rural of the three major islands, covering 29.5 square miles. The landscape blends woods with rolling farmlands and open spaces with shimmering vistas. It is also known as the friendliest of the San Juan Islands. Don't forget to wave to passing motorists – a local custom for many years! There's a genuine spirit of community here and a special feeling for life that pervades the population of 2,200. Lopez is home to many artist, craftspeople, musicians, farmers, fisherman, nature lovers, and eccentrics. Lopez School serves approximately 265 children, kindergarten through grade 12.
When planning a trip to Lopez, remember to dress casually. The weather typically is warm in the summer, with an average high temperature of 72, and wet in the winter with highs in the 40s-50s. Average yearly rainfall is between 19-25 inches - about half of that in the neighboring Seattle area. We see an occasional snow shower in the winter but it never lasts long. Spring and Fall can be warm, cold, wet or dry…or just about anything in between! It's best to layer clothing and always have a lightweight jacket or sweatshirt handy.
What's there to do on Lopez? As much or as little as you wish to do. Lopez has several public beach areas that allow for long walks along the shoreline or wooded trails of the State and County Parks. Agate Beach, Shark Reef Park, Otis Perkins Park, Spencer Spit State Park, Odlin County Park, and Upright Head are among the favorites. Fishing, boating, kayaking, golf, tennins, and biking are favorite outdoor activities or just sit with a pair of binoculars and observe the ever present wildlife. A good book can also come in handy or visit our Library for a wide selection of choices. Look back in history with a visit to our Historical Museum or the restored Port Stanley Schoolhouse. Refer to our Directory for information on lodging, restaurants, shops, recreation activities, etc.
Lopez Village is the commercial hub of the Island, located about 4 miles from the ferry landing nestled along Fisherman Bay. It is home to a variety of shops, galleries, bakery, coffee shops and restaurants as well as a fully stocked grocery store, pharmacy, organic grocery, and other services. You will also find the Post Office, Medical Clinic, Bank, Historical Museum, Community Center and Chamber of Commerce office all within walking distance. Lopez Village Park has public restrooms, showers and picnic tables to sit and enjoy the view or people watch. Don't miss the Saturday Farmer's Market during the summer months, featuring local artists, craftspeople and farmers. While visiting the south end of the Island, Islandale gas station and convenience store can fill your essential needs.
Accommodations on the Island consist of a motel, bed and breakfasts, inns, cottages and vacation home rentals. We also have a State and a County campground, both located on waterfront property as well as a private inland campground. If you are visiting in the summer season reserve rooms, restaurants and campsites well in advance.
The Chamber of Commerce hosts two popular annual events in the off season. Tour de Lopez is a non-competitive bicycle tour through the scenic landscape of the Island the last weekend in April. Details of the event are available on the Chamber website. It is a wonderful opportunity for families and friends to experience the magic and beauty of Lopez Island in the quiet season. Also, the Winter Village Gathering is held the Friday after Thanksgiving at dusk. The Village is transformed into a wonderland of holiday lights and decorations when the Chamber turns on the switch. Locals and visitors alike gather to sing carols, sip hot chocolate and nibble on cookies to welcome the spirit of the season.
We welcome you to Lopez and hope that you have a wonderful and relaxing visit. This is a very special place and all that Lopezians ask is for visitors to respect this beautiful ecologically fragile island. Please conserve water, recycle, leash your dogs, and respect private property and "No Trespassing" signs. Leave the environment as you found it so it can be enjoyed and appreciated for years to come. Thank you!

kornslip dude gets to the point of my philosophy-major-ass TOO MANY WORDS, GOOBER i just dropped on the other thing
flash tip: for the click-play-at-the-end secrets, put the start of the music stream on the frame *after* the one with stop(); unless you want that "INT--" thing to happen.
also i see you didn't put a filter on the singing guy. is it that you can't put filters on graphics? iirc you can get around that if you make each frame of the graphic a movie clip (make each frame a keyframe and break apart the graphic in each one) and put the filter on that, but it's been a few years since i've opened flash so i could be wrong.
I don't think I used filters on anything in this. If you're referring to the black line thing around the images I used the ink tool or whatever it's called. I was just too lazy to use it on the singing guy.
MY EYES, THEY BURN! But in a good way.

Hello Greekophiles:
I need help in locating an article, and I haven't had much luck through
traditional sources. Does anyone out there know of a journal called
"Proceedings of the Eastern Great Lakes Biblical Society"? If so, and if
your library stocks, can you tell me the possibility of getting an article
by David L. Barr entitled "The Reader of/in the Apocalypse: Exploring a
Method"? It should be in volume 10 (1990) issue of the journal. I think
it starts around p. 79. I really need this article for a section of my
dissertation, I thought I had it and now can't find my copy! Thanks for
any leads you all can give me!

Surgery to the uterine cavity
Hysteroscopic surgery involves the insertion of a small camera through the vagina and the cervix without the need for an incision in the abdomen. This can be performed to treat a range of intrauterine problems. These include:
- Removal of polyps (polypectomy)
- Division of uterine septum
- Correction of intrauterine adhesions (Asherman's Syndrome)
Uterine septum
A septum is a bridge of fibrotic tissue which extends down the middle of the uterine cavity. In some cases the septum will be very small and may have minimal, if any, effect on fertility. In other patients the septum can be large which, as well as adversely affecting fertility, can also increase the likelihood of miscarriage and surgery to correct this may be recommended.
Intrauterine adhesions
Adhesions can be caused by any trauma that occurs within it. Most adhesions can be attributed to miscarriage although any pregnancy, including a normal delivery at term, can cause intrauterine scarring. It is therefore an area that should be examined if the patient has become infertile after a preceding pregnancy.
The cavity is generally checked with an X-ray called a hysterosalpingogram which may show any significant uterine scarring. A hysteroscopy may then be performed to confirm this, and at the same time the adhesions are divided using a tiny pair of scissors. Occasionally contraceptive coils are placed in the cavity to prevent re-formation of this scarring. These are removed 4–6 weeks later. Occasionally a further procedure may be required.

Understanding Modern Violence Through the Lens of the Reign of Terror
Jack Censer
One of the most stimulating books I have read in some time is Sophie Wahnich's In Defense of the Terror: Liberty or Death in the French Revolution (published in 2003, but in English 2012). But it's not the writing (which is murky) or its purpose (with which I generally disagree) but its viewpoint on Terrorism that can be instructive.In fact, this little book is an apologetic for the Terrorists in the French Revolution. And its value is that in associating herself so clearly with her subject, she does see them much as they saw themselves. In short, Wahnich argues that the Terrorists were motivated by the "dread" that they felt after the assassination of Marat. They then had acted to protect the purity and integrity of the "sacred" revolution that they had made to affirm the political equality of all. More originally, Wahnich also claims that the mechanism of the Terror led to more incarcerations than executions and that its organizational existence at least put limits on popular "enthusiasm." In sum, the Terrorists were justified and their leadership contained excesses.

From the Bloody Nursery of Revolution, Democracy
Guillaume Mazeau
More than two years after the hope that accompanied the so-called "Arab Spring," the Occidental experts, politicians and public opinions are now chocked by the return of political violence in Egypt, perpetuated by the military. What is striking about these reactions is the difficulty to understand why so many Egyptian former dissidents, liberals and even leftists, who fought against Mubarak and his military dictatorship, now clearly support General Al-Sisi's coup and even justify the recent massacres of Muslim Brothers. Is it possible to explain such a dramatic shift without blaming these sincere men and women, who claim to struggle for democracy but, at the same time, approve the use of political violence?

Revolutionary Situations are Inherently Messy
Alyssa Goldstein Sepinwall
Social scientists who study revolutions and other historical processes generally look for patterns and similarities. Historians, by contrast, have traditionally focused on factors that are specific to each situation, in each time and in each place. They seek to understand the particularities of each situation, rather than generalize about commonalities.Like most historians, I tend to analyze events based on particular historical contexts. And yet, after twenty-five years of studying eighteenth- and nineteenth-century revolutions (and watching new ones erupt in the twentieth- and twenty-first centuries), I cannot help but notice certain patterns that recur in almost all revolutionary situations.

In Bolivar, Ms. Arana recounts Bolivar's bloody military campaigns and forays into the turbulent and frustrating politics of the new republics, and she also presents a striking portrait of the times and the many contradictions and foibles of the Great Liberator -- a passionate embodiment of the Enlightenment who was addicted to gambling, glory, and women.

Stop Thinking of Only the "Arab World"
Bassam S. Haddad
For now, most serious treatments of the Arab uprisings will remain inadequate from a historical perspective, including this one! The first objective is to avoid the outlandish or lazy analytical treatments that proceed from some idiosyncratic political or cultural essence, and/or those monist approaches that reduce outcomes to one variable. There is no place for either sort of reductionism in serious political or historical inquiry. The second objective is to recognize the limits of our ability as analysts in pinning down the right mixture of weighted variables in explaining revolutionary outcomes. But explanatory despair should not be the takeaway from these precautions. The trick is gradually to refine the conversation on the question of causes. Revolutions, or uprisings, are not a science -- even according to Political Scientists! We simply can't predict them, but we surely can do much better than the outlandish and the monist.

The Military Played a Smaller Role in France and the U.S. than in Egypt
Jack Censer
The political independence that the military often displays in the midst of revolutionary situations was strikingly absent in both the American and French revolutions. Both depended on militias composed of citizen soldiers. Even as an army was constituted, this remained the case at least for a good while.Let me consider the French case as I know it much better. In fact, the revolutionary uprising (July 12-14, 1789) that led to the capture of the Bastille already revealed that some of the royal army had, in fact, absorbed the rising tide of revolutionary spirit. The troops called up largely refused to intervene. The effective fighting force that actively favored the revolution proved to be poorly armed citizenry, but taking the Bastille was accomplished less by armed assault than persuasion. When the revolutionaries got around in succeeding months to organizing the army, they installed elections by the troops as a way of peopling the officer rank.

Analogy is always tempting amid contemporary uncertainties. It can also be distracting or misleading.From the outlet of the Arab spring, drawing parallels with 1848 in Europe has offered potential insights. Here are two situations in which revolution spread quite rapidly across a region, though of course not uniformly, and in which claims about human rights and political representation loomed large.Other connections now suggest themselves, two years into the process. Most obviously, the 1848 revolutionaries, in centers like Berlin, failed (like their counterparts in Egypt) to secure the military or provide reliable alternatives to it. This would haunt the revolution then, as it is doing today. 1848, again in centers like Prussia, was also bedeviled by tensions between social and political goals, on the one hand, and other ideologies (nationalism then, Islamism now?), which ultimately hampered revolutionary drive.

Announcing "Revolutionary Moments"
Jack Censer
With the world once again filled with anticipation and dread of revolution, it is reasonable to examine what relevant past events our predecessors experienced. Inarguably, the past is at least a set of experiences that may be useful in considering the present. Even that relatively modest claim requires some hesitation in that historians do not write as oracles, somehow outside the fray. Politics, despite the best intention of scholars, inflicts this work. Nonetheless, reviewing the revolutionary past will be at least interesting and potentially instructive.Thus, the moderators propose to introduce questions relevant to current events with the notion that scholars who study revolutions throughout the globe will comment. Postings must be under 250 words and conform to scholarly norms.

Christian Caryl: 1979 and the Birth of the Chinese Economic Miracle
Christian Caryl, the editor of Democracy Lab, is a senior fellow at the Legatum Institute and a contributing editor at Foreign Policy. He is also the author of a new book, Strange Rebels: 1979 and the Birth of the 21st Century, to be published in May.It is inevitable, perhaps, that we tend to focus on leaders when we examine grand political and economic transitions. But they are not the only actors in these dramas. Deng Xiaoping and his colleagues triumphed precisely because they unleashed the creativity and the entrepreneurial urges of millions of Chinese. Many of them -- shocking though it might be to think -- were not even members of the Chinese Communist Party.

Revolutions On Screen: Then and Now
Revolutionary Moments
I spent a good deal of the summer writing about how the Haitian Revolution and Caribbean slavery have been depicted in film. Many films depicting these subjects are disappointing, which inspired me to read some of the foundational scholarship on film and history, such as Robert Rosenstone's. As Rosenstone has argued, historians are almost inevitably disappointed when they watch the events that they study depicted on screen. Scripts call for narrative structure that real history does not present.Fiction films on revolutions illustrate Rosenstone's principle well. Real revolutions proceed haphazardly, with more monotony than viewing audiences will tolerate. Moreover, there are often so many actors involved in a real revolution that simplifications become necessary. Filmic revolutions often present characters who are composites, so that viewers will have only a few characters to follow (see Fiction and Film for French Historians [link at http://h-france.net/fffh/tag/french-revolution/ ] for recent scholarly analyses of films on the French Revolution).I do have one favorite revolution movie – not necessarily for the accuracy of its portrayal, but because it is great fun: Sherman Edwards' and Peter Hunt's 1776 (made in 1972). The music is catchy, and the script is filled with witty gems. The film appeals to all age groups (I watched it this summer with an enthralled group ranging from small children to septuagenarians).Of course, many details in the movie could not pass the scrutiny of American Revolution specialists. The film papers over the subject of slavery, portraying it as a Southern issue while implying that northerners were all abolitionists. The film also oversimplifies Abigail Adams' political interests, turning her correspondence with John into one chiefly concerned with love and sewing. One would also not know from the film that Thomas Jefferson and John Adams were close friends ("You're obnoxious and disliked; that cannot be denied/…Mr. Adams, you are driving me to homicide!" Jefferson sings in "But, Mr. Adams!").Despite these simplifications, 1776 offers many useful lessons on revolutions. One is how hard it is for people in real time to decide to raise arms against their government. Often today, the public imagines the American Revolution as clear-cut or even inevitable: "we" (Americans) decided to oppose "them" (the British) because they were being unfair. And yet….it was a wrenching decision for the Britons of North America to opt to wage war against their own countrymen, including their crowned King. "Sit Down, John" - in which members of the Continental Congress shout at Adams as he exhorts them to "vote for independency!" - is a fantastic song in this regard. In addition to sharing vivid truths about summer in Philadelphia (it is "hot as hell" and there are often "too many flies!"), the song illustrates how uncomfortable many delegates were with a radical notion like independence.The film also shows the critical roles of contingency and human factors in revolutions. Delegates sometimes had to leave the Congress for illness or family reasons, and votes could have gone in different directions depending on who was present on a given day and how they felt inspired to vote based on others' decisions.Watching social movements explode on TV today reminds me, however, of one great shortcoming of 1776: it leaves out the violence that accompanies almost all revolutions. Soldiers in the film sing about the battle dead in Washington's army, but such losses are off screen and bloodless. Moreover, when we hear about the physical harm inflicted by pro-independence forces against loyalists in 1776, it is as a joke. The stalwart advocate of independence Benjamin Franklin is delighted to hear that his son William (the loyalist governor of New Jersey) has been captured and ill-treated because of his pro-British beliefs.Today, fiction films are not our only option for watching revolutions unfold on screen. Journalists capture live footage on stations like CNN and Al-Jazeera, and participants can upload their own videos and pictures to sites like YouTube and Twitter. Even though they are not scripted like fiction films, we cannot forget that these glimpses of revolution are mediated in their own way; journalists are still making choices of where to go and what to film, and participants show only their own vantage point at any given moment. Perhaps violence is overemphasized in how we understand revolutions today, since the more boring parts of revolutions are less exciting to film (and also may take place in private spaces rather than public squares). With new media will come new ways of understanding revolutions, which in turn will offer us fresh perspectives on revolutions of the past. Nevertheless, it is critical to remind our students – and others - that whenever we see a revolution on screen, we are getting only a partial glimpse into revolutionary reality.
