Hydrocodone recreational use
Common Questions and Answers about Hydrocodone recreational use
With me, it is a fine line between therapeutic and
. After a few weeks, I get to feeling miserable as my tolerence increases. My solution has been to take a "drug holiday" for at least two weeks. I do all of my work out of my home so this is a lot easier than it would for someone who had to show up at the workplace everyday. Sure it takes a lot of willpower and strength to just quit every so often, but a lot of us do it.

I'm embarrassed to admit that it has a hold on me as I have convinced myself that I can stop any time and that I'm in control of my '
' drug use. When I think about getting through work tomorrow without it or not using it to help me 'stuff' my issues I feel a paralyzing fear and don't know if I even can or want to do it. I'm getting ready to start my day and I'm pretty sure than it won't be long before I convince myself that I can have 'just one' to take the edge off....

I thought that I could taper down, but I always end up screwing it up. From here I dont know where to begin. I do NOT take them for pain...
only. At first I like them for the boost of energy it gave me, now I dont even feel anything, but I still take it....I take 1/2 at a time throughout the day....But it has gotten to where I start when I wake up. 1/2 here, 1/2 there...I know that it is going to take something besides me to help me to stop it.

I am 20yo and have been taking
for a year and a half. I recently came to the realization that I am in fact addicted. I have tried to stop many times (each time gets harder) but I haven't been able to quit all together. I was taking 6-8 10/500 a day. The last few months I have gotten down to 1-2 pills a day. Then I had a stressful couple of months and went up to 2-4. Now, my life is starting to get back in order, and I finally told my boyfriend...

I have been taking
for about 2 1/2 years at an increasing rate, ending up with the 7.5 strength and about 18-20 per day. I do have severe arthitis pain and am a 51 year old woman. I have to cut down and recently cut down to 10 a day and have experienced physical and emotional withdrawal symptoms. I have some clonidine and don't know how much to take for withdrawal. What is the recommended dosage.

My husband doesn't know, but he's an alcoholic. When I finally told him that I was taking pills for
he said nothing for fear of him having to quit drinking. (Just my thought on his thinking). We are both grieving and our marriage is struggling! Should I just quit cold turkey? OR have I even been on them long enough to be addicted? Thank you!

Sure, it is certainly possible for an addict to maintain long, indefinate periods of stable and minimal drug
but at some point, most, if not all, will eventually succumb to temptation. There is no arbitrary number of months or years where an addict can use responsibly before the inevitable binge occurs. Its different for everyone. Some people NEVER manage to do it......EVER!

I got my wisdom teeth pulled on Friday, and they prescribed 5/500
. The only problem is, it doesn't even take the edge off. I asked my dad if I could take two, since one didn't do anything, and he said it would be dangerous, and even my dentist said it would be dangerous to even give me a higher dose. Can someone tell me why it would be so dangerous if higher doses are given, and the dose I'm being given doesn't work? Would it really hurt me to take two of these?

I had no pain or reason to
just started 3 years ago as a
drug then got hooked. Every-time I tried to stop I had the withdraws and got a hold of some to tide me over till I got more. I couldn't even make it to work without something. Anytime something happened my way of dealing with it was to use more. Now, I'm back with my boyfriend and looking at a new job.

Hi, I've been taking
for the past 5 years. My dosage has sky rocketed the past 4 months to taking 18 (10/325's) a day. It seemed my tolerence had gotten so high not to mention I was going through some personal proplems which made me want to take more & more. I haven't truly wanted to quit ever but I have run out before causing the withdrawals to kick in.

I started taking hydrocodone when I had a herniated disc a couple of years ago but I had surgery in February 2014 and that's when I started taking it more for
and my doctor was just prescribing it to me with no questions so it was easy to take advantage of. I started out just a couple times a week and then every other day and then it became an everyday habit. I take 10 mg and sometimes I take 4 to 8 a day and sometimes even more.

He has a fever of about 101, hot and cold flashes, headache, general body aches, and a lack of energy. Is his week-long
enough to have produced habituation? Do these symptoms match those of hydrocodone withdrawal? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

As far as the hydrocodone goes, I am aware of what it can cause with long term
, however what I am asking is for opinions with long term
as far as taking such a small amount per day, goes. My doctor has said that there's nothing that will happen with long term use of such a small dose. Additionally, something i've been unclear about -- say someone takes hydrocodone for 15 years and then stops....being blood tested for all those 15 years with normal results.

Hi, welcome to the forum :) do you take the pills for
or have any medical condition? Yes, if you don't have any health issue, i say that you can detox safely at home...be ready for bad flu symptons. For how long have you been using and how much? Depending on these factors, the 8 pills would help a little like a short taper or nothing .....

I am currently in the process of quitting daily
and have had alot of restless leg problems and sleep problems. sleep has been impossible the whole time i have been tapering my narcotic doses which just ended. I have to be miserable all day detoxing and save my daily amount of oxy (just enough to fall asleep with 5 - 7.5mg) for just before bed otherwise toss and turn untill 8am when my alarm clock goes off.

I stayed clear of drugs in highschool, but went off to college and got in with the wrong group of people. Over the last 3 years I started taking
, almost always recreationally, for one reason or another. It started out as taking 3 or 4 10mg's at a time, then 5 to 7, then progressed to 10 at a time. That was when I was what I would still call a recreational user. About 6 months ago, I started using on a daily basis. 10 a day quickly changed to 12, then 12 turned to 15.

I have been clean 10 days from
. Took it for
purposes, not pain. Anybody have any non-chemical/medication remedy ideas for the anxiety/sleeplessness? I am so tempted to go get just a few pills to take the edge off but I know will just blow the clean time I have...I really don't want to go back. Still feel like I'm going to jump out of my skin. Is this normal after 10 days clean?

I was really naive to to think that pills were not a big deal... it seemed harmless in comparison to other methods of
that I put my body through. I have been taking pain medication for 3 years now. The withdrawal is so hard it feels. I just want to know is there any, and i mean ANYTHING, that aids with this opiate withdrawal?? I start feeling anxious and sweaty within 6 hours from my last dose. Diarrhea that feels like lava.

Wow...as I was reading that, my heart rate increased just like the old days!! Hydros were my doc, got started on them when my first PA prescribed them for pain WITH REFILLS. Then yrs later another PA, then lastly my back surgeon.....it was almost like I was having a panic attack.....and then realized , hey Connie....YOU"RE CLEAN....YAYYYY" No worries... Thanks for posting this, Jimmy.

yes i'm caught in between a rock and a hard place. I discussed everything with my wife as far as tapering and I was completely honest about my thoughts, feelings and fears. I'm a very straight forward guy and it's easy for me to communicate on both positive and negative matters. I am strong willed and I am going to start tapering myself off. My wife is getting daily dose bottles to help me regulate. One thing I absolutely know I can do on my own is stop the recreational use.

I think I'm one of the lucky ones because I don't crave the drug and won't have a problem with relapse. I didn't take it for
, it was just a habit - I took it every morning with my other meds and never really thought about it much. I only want the withdrawl to stop, and don't think I will ever look back - except to have learned a big lesson.

to ease the symptoms. I've been taking about 3-4 10/325
or 3-4 525 Oxycodone (I'm not terribly knowledgeable about drugs so I don't know the difference between Oxycodone and Oxycontin?). Plus, I take about 2-4 Xanax a day and have Buspirone HCL 15 mg too but hate the way those make me dizzy so rarely take them. I'm taking all kinds of vitamins now after reading all the advice. But I'm wondering how long will I think of suicide?

Badgirl, What are your options? Since you take them for
, they surely won't help you as much for when you really have pain. If you tell them that you take them all the time, they probably won't give you anything except Ultram because, they'll say "she's an addict and we're not helping her by giving her more Percocet, so we'll give her something Non-Narcotic." If you tell them that you are addicted to them, they sure as hell won't give you MS Contin or Oxycontin.

It is an opioid drug that binds to the receptors affecting bowel motility but not those that bring euphoria or pain relief. It is effective without being addictive. Keep a few in your pocket and
as needed. As for the chills, time will cure you of those. Until then, dress in layers and respond to how you feel as you feel it. You've gone two weeks. That's an eternity! You're over the worst. It's your mind that you must contend with now. Feel better.

I just remember times going to meetings where I felt good before and left wanting to
. Thats just me though. I have many friends in recovery that have decades clean in the NA/AA program. I do go to NA meetings every now and then. When I do go I go to MENS STAG MEETINGS ONLY ONLY. Personally, I find it easier to work on myself when Im not distracted by beautiful woman...after all, there's nothing sexier than a woman in recovery.

well a **** ton lol, like is it possible to ever stop being addicted once you were and then go back to
like you
to? or how long do the withdrawl symptoms last? or does the mental want ever go away or is this something you will constantly have to fight? I've been trying to quit cold turkey all week with my boyfriend but we gave in on the third day just because the symptoms were horrible.... i could not stop running to the bathroom and both puking and pooping... it sucked..

I'm sitting in the last row of a church, attending the funeral of a friend's father. The sanctuary is packed, a fitting tribute to a loving and well-loved man, an exemplary pillar of the community.
It's been a lovely service, so far — a beautifully personal eulogy by an eloquent minister, a stirring rendition of the family's favorite song and a thought-provoking sermon on the ways we mortals come to terms with death.
A moment of silence follows the sermon as a soloist slowly takes her place in the balcony above the chancel.
It's so quiet you could hear a pin drop, and I reflect on my own father's death last March, and whether this mortal, yours truly, will ever come to terms with death. The stillness is palpable; I can hear myself breathe.
Then, the unthinkable happens. My flippin' CELL PHONE GOES OFF!!
Cathy's ringtone
The horror of it takes a moment to register. My eyes dart from side to side, looking for the culprit. "Oh, God. Anyone but me! Anyone but me!" I pray, under my breath.
"No can do," the Lord answers back. "That catchy calypso ring tone piercing the air belongs to only one person. Where do you think you are, the Caribbean? This is my house, and we ain't servin' pina coladas!"
"Jesus!" I cry in a hushed but audible tone, as the phone rings again from inside my purse. The lady next to me visibly flinches. Oh great, I think. Not only have I disrupted this solemn ceremony with my crazy clambake music, I've taken the Lord's name in vain, to boot! Good God, can anyone say, "Express ticket to Hell?"
"Fuhgettaboutit!" the Lord replies. "Just turn off that damnable thing. Jamaica'n me crazy, mon!!"
Turn it off! YES! That's what I need to do, just as soon as my heart starts up again and I can feel my fingers. But, wait! I DID turn it off, before I entered the church. I set it to "Standby/Mute." I swear I did!
My ring tone begs to differ. I start slapping my purse furiously, as if trying to put out a fire. Surely that will stop it. My face and neck are redder than the crimson pew cushions. My heart races at 200 beats per minute.
Slapping isn't working. Calypso music fills the air. The woman in front of me is starting to shimmy.
"What in the hell (sorry, Lord) was wrong with my OLD ring tone?" I ask myself, "the one that sounded like an old-fashioned phone! People would think this God-forsaken noise was coming from the office. Or, why couldn't I have chosen something more subdued, like Bach's 'Fugue in D Minor' or 'Ave Maria'?"
On the third ring, I flip open my purse, grab the blasted BlackBerry and stab wildly at the Ignore button. The sound stops. Thank God.
"You're welcome," the Lord answers.
I don't look up for the rest of the service, but I feel people scorching me with their eyes. Mercifully, the funeral is over. The family files out. I duck my head and pray they didn't hear the blaring (albeit festive) racket.
Ushers guide the congregation out, starting with the front row. I wait my turn, clutching my Blackberry — now, definitely in Standby-Mute mode — wondering if people know I'm the offender and if they intend to rat me out to my grieving friends.
Everyone files into the vestibule and turns toward the reception hall. I bolt in the opposite direction, through the halls, taking refuge in the little girls' room of the Head Start Preschool.
"I can't face people now," I say to myself. "It's too soon. I'll just sit here on the world's smallest toilet until most of the people have gone."
Ten minutes later, I wash my hands in the pint-sized sink, slink into the reception hall and pay my respects to the family. They suspect nothing. So far, so good.
Suddenly, a woman I've never met taps me on the shoulder, and says, "Don't worry. My cell phone went off once during a Zen meditation retreat. And my ring tone was Aretha!"
"God bless you for trying," I respond. "But I think mine's worse."
"Think nothing of it," she said with a smile. "Thought I'd give it a shot."
"No, really. I'll see to it that God blesses you," I replied. "I've got him on speed dial."

Growl Bengals, Growl: New Statue Comes to Life Through 3D Imaging
The newest addition on Idaho State University's campus took on a life of its own through the use of lasers, GPS, and specialized software. Students studying in the ISU Geomatics Technology program created a three-dimensional image of the new bronze Bengal statue shortly after it was unveiled in the fall. The statue, which overlooks the Hutchinson Quadrangle, was measured using the latest surveying technology available.
The project, which was organized by faculty in the geomatics technology program, demonstrated the accuracy of available surveying equipment. "We wanted to use the laser scanner on something that the students are familiar with," said Darren Leavitt, ISU Geomatics and Civil Engineering Technology instructor. "The statue was the right size to give our students a starting point and familiarize them with this technology."
The students were able to complete an accurate, 3-D image of the bronze statue in less than one hour. First, targets were placed around the statue at locations locked down by Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites. The scanning device then sent out laser beams which methodically hit the entire statue. Each laser was reflected and a pixel of information was sent back to the scanner. The pixels were then recorded and a picture of the statue was "painted" and mapped out. This modern technology has changed the way traditional surveying of roads, bridges, and buildings is being completed by engineers. "The exposure of students to this equipment is extremely important to their success after graduation," says Leavitt. "This is the way that our industry is heading, and projects like these reinforce what they have learned in the classroom."
Leavitt also added that this technology allows surveyors to complete projects in areas that are both inaccessible and could be potentially dangerous. The laser scanner also permits modifications to be designed to existing structures without having to close down an area for surveying. The data gathered by a laser scanner is accurate, complete, and collected in a fraction of the time.
Industry representatives from Bonneville Blueprint, an Idaho company with offices in Twin Falls, Idaho Falls, and Boise, brought the scanning device used in the project and donated their time to give instruction. The surveying company also assisted the ISU program earlier in the year to complete a similar 3-D image of the Brady Chapel inside Pocatello's Mountain View Cemetery. According to Bonneville Blueprint, the scanning device costs about $130,000.
The ISU Geomatics Technology program is one of only a few bachelor degree programs of its kind in the nation. It is also the only one in Idaho and began as an initiative under the direction of Governor C.L. Butch Otter. Students studying Geomatics and Civil Engineering Technology are trained to become professional land surveyors and civil engineering technicians.

|Autoantibody production from a thymoma and a follicular dendritic cell sarcoma associated with paraneoplastic pemphigus.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 16120143 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|BACKGROUND: Paraneoplastic pemphigus (PNP) is an autoimmune mucocutaneous disease. We previously reported that B cells in a Castleman tumour associated with PNP produced autoantibodies. However, it is uncertain whether the production of autoantibodies from the associated tumour is a common mechanism in PNP. OBJECTIVES: To investigate autoantibody production in a thymoma and a follicular dendritic cell sarcoma that were excised from two patients with PNP. METHODS: Tumour cells were cultured, and their surface markers were identified. Indirect immunofluorescence, immunoblotting and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using culture media from the tumours were used to detect PNP autoantibodies. RESULTS: B cells with markers (CD22+, surface membrane IgG+ and surface membrane IgM+) of mature B lymphocytes constituted a proportion of cultured tumour cells in both tumours. Western blot showed that the medium from both the thymoma and the follicular dendritic cell sarcoma cells recognized 190-kDa periplakin and 210-kDa envoplakin bands of human epithelial proteins as well as recombinant linker regions of periplakin, envoplakin, desmoplakin and bullous pemphigoid antigen 1. ELISA was positive for antidesmoglein 3 antibody. CONCLUSIONS: The presence and localization in tumours of B-lymphocyte clones against proteins of the plakin family and desmoglein 3 in skin may not be confined to PNP with Castleman disease, but is possibly a common mechanism in PNP associated with various tumours.

Anyone go from M3 to 135 or 335i
View Single Post
Drives: '04 E46 M3
Join Date: May 2008
Location: Beaufort, SC
iTrader: (
I did the opposite I went from a lightly modded E82 135i to a decently modded E46 M3. Stock for stock I regret buying the 135i and should have bought the E46 M3 in the first place but now I that I have my E46 M3 almost complete I really can't see myself wanting another car for quite sometime. Helps that the E46 M3 has been a dream car of mine for sometime. To make things clear I bought the 135i brand new from factory (dealer ordered) and the E46 M3 was mainly stock other than some less than ideal tires on stock wheels, legal tint, and G Power pedals. I have autocrossed both cars several times and prefer the M3 for both daily driving and track time. In the 135i's defense it was slightly better on gas, but it had a smaller fuel tank. The E46 M3 always surprised me with its range on many occasions.
Mods on my former 2009 BMW 135i: BMW Performance exhaust, BMW Performance carbon fiber diffuser, BMW Performance carbon fiber spoiler, BMW Performance electronic steering wheel (first version), BMW Performance selector lever and boot (Steptronic), BMW Performance rotors (front and rear), BMW Performance Power Kit, BMW gloss black kidney grills, APEX ARC-8 wheels, Dunlop Direzza Z1 Star Specs (225/255), Evolution Racewerks charge pipe with Synapse Engineering BOV, Sprint Booster, Vishnu Procede V4, and occasional helpings of 100 octane pump gas when I could afford it.
Things that broke with my 135i under warranty: 3rd brake light lense cracked and fell off multiple times, passenger side fender mounted turn indicator cracked and fell off held on only by wire, replacement of high pressure fuel pump, replacement of 3 faulty fuel injectors, and crappy iPod Y-connector wire. Car was owned for 2.5 years and had about 38XXX miles.
Mods on my current 2004 BMW M3: Turner Motorsport black out hood and fender grills, APEX ARC-8 wheels, Dunlop Direzza Z1 Star Specs (245/275), Turner Motorsport 3.91 geared diff, VAC Motorsports floor/side mounts, Cobra Imola GT seat, Schroth Quick Fit Pro harness, Dr. VANOS cryo-treated exhaust hub and rebuilt VANOS unit, Fabspeed headers and catted section 1, Supersprint resonated X-pipe and Race exhaust, AP Racing BBK, AST 5100 coilovers with Swift springs, Vorshlag camber plates, Vorshlag 75mm stud conversion, Hotchkis swaybars, BMW Motorsports 55*C thermostat, Bimmerworld Radiator and Oil Cooler, AN10 fittings for oil cooler, Optima Red Top, VAC Motorsports Optima battery harness/mount, HPF fan clutch, and VF Engineering VF420 "Streetsport" supercharger kit.
Things that broke on my E46 M3: auto-dim mirror, stock 3.62 geared differential (bearing issue related to day at drag strip), 3 ignition coils, alternator, dead OEM battery, and most recently SMG pump.

Stunning! The cimemotography was trully breathtaking...and truly action packed. Narrated by James Earl Jones (who else could do it better?) this is a must see for anyone ready to experience a true wonder of nature. It'll make you want to pack your bags and hop on the next plane to Africa. This isn't a movie...it's an experience!
Jan 25, 2000
I could see this movie again and again on regular TV. The IMAX experience just adds to it. If you are the least interested in nature or science, this is a must see.

A wonderful spectical of technological and cinematic achievement. Should, however, be rated R for graphic violence. Small children were exposed to cruelty of nature at its most violent primitive level...survival of the strongest.
With this proper warning (R) given, one then can appreciate the beauty and musical choreography that followed the Wildebeast migration throughout the Serengeti....A must see for those fascinated by the "real" world and all it's marvels...

Saying Sorry @ RomanceClass -
I may never forget it or forgive myself for it
My ex husband and I were together for 2 1/2 years before we got married. I just turned 18. He was in the military and right away he was sent out to sea. He was gone for 8 months. During that 8 months I was faithfull. That was until towards the end. I met a man in my apartment complex and we feel in love. I left my husband for that man. I now have to kids and a alcoholic husband. And I just now realized how sorry I truly am for hurting my ex the way I did. It was wrong and heartless. I may never forget it or forgive myself for it. I always wonder where he is and what he is doing. I know where he works and I actually avoid it. Because I am not sure how I will react to seeing him. Considering I only saw him once since I broke it off. We never got to really say goodbye. And I can honestly say that I am SORRY!

Wow! We've been innkeeping here at Chester for 15 full years now! Sometimes it feel like 50, but usually it seems like only yesterday that we were working like crazy to get bathrooms completed on schedule, meeting furniture trucks in the driveway at 4 a.m., and worrying over whether anyone would come to visit us. Now we've greeted over 5,000 guests at our front door. Many have returned for several years, some have gotten married here, and some have become fast friends. Craig and I are grateful for our tenure at Chester and are looking forward to welcoming the next 5000. Thanks to everyone who has become a part of Chester life.

Kleven to design Odfjell tankers
Odfjell ASA has turned to Kleven Design AS, the design company in Norway's Kleven Maritime group, to develop the design of a series of products/chemical tankers it is building in Russia.
Odfjell announced last month that it had reached agreement with Russia's Sevmash yard to build a series of eight to twelve advanced product/chemical carriers, for delivery 2007 onwards. These will be IMO type II fully coated vessels of about 45,000 dwt. and will replace some of Odfjell's older chemical carriers.
Sevmash is located in Severodvinsk near Arkangelsk. While it does have a commercial shipbuilding portfolio, it is best known for building nuclear submarines.
The first eight of Odfjell's Sevmash vessels will cost on average about $41 million each. The optional four vessels will be priced according to a mutually agreed market-related formula.
The contract with Kleven design is for eight ships with options for an additional four. This is Kleven Design's second design contract for a non-Kleven shipyard, and it is the first design contract between a Russian shipyard and a Norwegian technology provider for chemical carriers."
"We have a clear intentions of establishing Kleven Design as an international provider of ship design and ship technology consulting services for the most advanced tankers," says Arnhild Dyrhaug, Kleven Design's Managing Director."This contract is a major step toward our goal. We have delivered 13 highly specialized stainless steel tankers for Odfjell from our yard in Floro, and are proud and glad we are selected as the ship designer for their new series of ships contracted in Russia"
"For this series of ships," he continued, "we will develop the ship concept and make all basic design drawings including some of the required 3D-models of the ship. The ships are 45,000 dwt, and have a length of 182.70 m and breadth of 32.20 m."

Moscow Turns Down Request For Beslan Rally
Relatives of some of those killed at Beslan listening in May to the trial of the sole surviving hostage-taker (epa) MOSCOW, August 31, 2006 (RFE/RL) -- Russian human rights activists say Moscow city authorities have turned down a request to allow them to hold a gathering to mark the second anniversary of the Beslan school hostage tragedy.
The rally was planned for September 3 on Moscow's Lubyanka Square, but rights activists said authorities told them no rallies to mark the anniversary would be authorized in Moscow.
Svetlana Gannushkina, the leader of the rights group Civic Assistance, told RFE/RL that she believes the authorities did not sanction the rally to avoid drawing the public's attention to what she describes at the official investigation's failure to reach "objective conclusions."
"The authorities are not interested in letting people speak a lot and speak loudly about Beslan now," she said.
More than 330 people, many of them children, died when security forces stormed the school seized by militants on September 1, 2004.
WILL THE TRUTH BE KNOWN? As the second anniversary of the Beslan tragedy neared, Duma Deputy Yury Savelyev, a member of the official investigating committee, issued a 700-page report that veers sharply from the official explanation...(more)

Shuttle Discovery may land in California
The space shuttle Discovery could land Friday evening at its backup site in California due to increasingly inclement weather in Florida, NASA said.
A landing at that Kennedy Space Center was scrubbed Thursday because of bad weather.If the weather in Florida fails to improve Friday, Discovery would land at Edwards Air Force Base and then be flown to Florida piggy-back on a jumbo jet at a cost of about $1.7 million, NASA officials said.
Thursday, the shuttle's crew performed an evasive maneuver to avoid an unidentified piece of debris believed to be from the mission's third spacewalk, CNN reported Friday.
That spacewalk was part of a 13-day mission to the International Space Station, where the shuttle's crew delivered supplies and made repairs, CNN, reported Friday.

Efficient new wireless system developed by Syracuse University scientist can save 10 percent of bandwidth
SU News Services
(315) 443-3784
Driven by fast-growing use of smart phones and Internet videos, wireless communication among Americans is expanding so rapidly that a tsunami of megabytes could soon threaten to overwhelm the bandwidth available.
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has already auctioned off huge chunks of bandwidth to wireless firms, but more is needed to fill what the FCC calls a "spectrum gap."
Now a Syracuse University scientist has invented a new technology for handling wireless traffic that significantly reduces bandwidth use. The impact on wireless companies could be a dramatic gain of up to 10 percent in bandwidth, enabling them to support many more subscribers with the same amount of bandwidth.
Biao Chen's invention makes a major reduction in "training overhead," which occupies a significant portion of the wireless band. Most current systems typically allow 15-20 percent of bandwidth for this "overhead," and the new technology potentially reduces it by half.
Bandwidth is very valuable. When the FCC auctioned off a large portion of wireless bandwidth last fall, the wireless carriers who bid successfully paid a total of $19.6 billion. For large wireless firms, saving even a fraction of their investment in bandwidth could mean millions of dollars.
There are also benefits in the new technology for the cell phone user.
"If you are sending an image from your cell phone," says Chen. "You typically get an on-screen bar that grows as it repeats the word 'sending, sending.' "With the new system the bar will fade sooner. The user gets the job done more quickly, and that will extend the phone's battery life."
Chen, of the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science in SU's L.C. Smith College of Engineering Computer Science, received a patent on the invention in April 2009. The new technology could be put to work with little added research.

The Angus Talking Newspaper Association (ANTA) has been honoured with a nomination for the Queen's Award for Voluntary Service.
ANTA's Secretary Elizabeth Mountford said: "It's an honour to be recognised."
Run entirely by volunteers at five centres throughout Angus, ANTA has for more than 30 years produced local news in audio form for the blind and visually impaired.
To honour the prestigious nomination Lord Lieutenant of Angus Mrs Georgiana Osborne hosted a reception at the Canmore Room in Forfar on April 16.
ANTA is a valuable link between the visually impaired and the community and often the only way people find out what is going on.
The Queen's Award for Voluntary Service, which is made annually, is given in recognition of outstanding achievement by voluntary groups in the community and was first announced in 2002 to mark the occasion of The Queen's Golden Jubilee. They receive a certificate signed by The Queen and a commemorative piece of crystal.
Miss Mountford is hopeful but realistic about their chances: "We are up against many other worthy organisations, but it is just lovely to be nominated."
ANTA really need help from volunteers, particularly someone who can help copy the CD's. It takes a couple of hours once a month. If you are interested in volunteering your time, please visit, www.angustalkingnews.co.uk.

In a society under the rule of law, few things matter more than upholding the proper line between legitimate and illegitimate action. Two high-profile public order cases this week exemplify the sensitivity of this truth in powerfully contrasting ways, from opposite sides of the barricades.
In the first, due in Southwark crown court today, an A-level student is charged with throwing a fire extinguisher from the roof of Conservative party headquarters during the tuition fee protests. Here, the dividing line is between the citizen's right to demonstrate and the crime of violent disorder, for which Edward Woollard, who has pleaded guilty, now faces a long prison sentence. In the second case, which collapsed in Nottingham crown court yesterday, six green activists went free when revelations about the undercover role of PC Mark Kennedy destroyed the reliability of a conspiracy case against them. This time the dividing line was between the proper police role of preventing crime – an alleged attempt to shut the Ratcliffe-on-Soar power station – and the improper one of potential entrapment of peaceful protesters, a possibility which raises many serious questions about public order policing today.
The green campaigners' solicitor yesterday highlighted some of these: the questionable legitimacy of mass pre-emptive arrests of more than 100 people; the imposition of controversial pre-charge bail conditions on them; the allegedly arbitrary winnowing of the initial numbers arrested down to those who were finally charged, and the restrictive disclosure rules under which the defendants were not permitted to learn about PC Kennedy's role or his evidence, which might have contributed to an acquittal. These are all serious questions about policing methods, which require official responses and further inquiry, perhaps by the home affairs select committee. Yet they are overshadowed by the wider implications of the dramatic revelations about the role of PC Kennedy, who is said to have been an undercover agent since 2000, and who since 2003 has infiltrated a variety of environmental, anti-racism and anarchist groups – and who is now reported to have thought better of this long-term role and to have become a sympathiser with the protesters.
Crime prevention – an aspect of being tough on the causes of crime – is every bit as important a police responsibility as crime solving. It follows that undercover operations to prevent crime can have a legitimate place in police work, just as they do in protecting national security. Yet to infiltrate an undercover officer into any undertaking is an expensive and risky business. The officer has to live under a new identity, in a specially obtained home, with a credible back story, for a prolonged period of time. Such an operation has to be justifiable in terms of the police's role of protecting the public, proportionate to the harm it is designed to prevent, and must be properly supervised to ensure that the boundaries – between intelligence and evidence of crime, and between evidence collection and entrapment – are rigorously upheld.
These boundaries have been properly upheld in the past in the policing of football hooligans. But they are not always easy to maintain, as the collapse of a major customs and excise fraud case in 2004 underlined, and as FBI over-exuberance has also illustrated. The infiltration of direct action protest groups – whether green, student or anti-cuts groups – is one of the most sensitive examples imaginable. Civil libertarian instinct revolts against it. The risk to public confidence from badly run operations is great. That is not a reason for proscribing undercover policing altogether. Yet every effort should always be made to use open negotiation and good public order policing to prevent potentially violent protest from crossing the line into the criminal law. Few would say we have got that balance quite right at the moment.

Five years after closing, the racecourse formerly known as Great Leighs is about to become a hub of activity once more, the contract for building a new grandstand having been agreed. Building works are scheduled to begin at the end of next week with the aim of completion being reached by the third week in November, according to Joe Scanlon, who is now chairman of the Essex track.
"The place is looking great," said Scanlon on Tuesday morning after a tour of the facility, which will be known as Chelmsford City when it reopens.
"The only thing outstanding is to build the grandstand and carry out some general repairs. Everything else is in place."
One of several unfinished and unconventional aspects of Great Leighs was that its grandstand, a temporary structure which had been used at the K Club for the Ryder Cup, was sited on the inside of the circuit. Scanlon reports that for practical reasons Chelmsford City's stand will have to be put on the same spot, in the short term at least.
"When Great Leighs went bust, the temporary grandstand was snatched back," he said. "But the concrete pads that had been put in below it, those have been retained, so we can put steelworks straight on top of the concrete foundations and build up.
"Our stand will be able to hold 2,000 to 3,000 people and, unlike what was there before, it will have steppings in front and you'll be able to watch from there and look down the whole of the home straight."
Scanlon believes that the viewing will therefore be perfectly adequate for most racegoers. His hope is that a grandstand may eventually be built on the outside of the circuit but he estimates that this plan may be six years from fruition.
Higher on his agenda for now is the question of how many race days Chelmsford City will have in 2015. The British Horseracing Authority will provide some as a start-up allocation but has yet to settle on a number; Scanlon is aiming at around 40 race days in total and expects that more than half of those will have to come from the commercial process of bidding against other tracks.
If the building works run to time, he hopes to be able to pick up an extra fixture or two in December, when the BHA sometimes hands out extra all-weather racedays to make up for abandoned turf meetings. A BHA spokesman confirmed that such a scenario was perfectly possible, provided Chelmsford City passes the necessary inspections.
But the biggest bureaucratic hurdle appears to have been cleared when the BHA allowed the track into the fixture process last month, having been persuaded that a robust business model was in place following the acquisition of the site by the bookmaker Fred Done. Fractured ownership of the site was one issue which undermined previous attempts to get the track racing again but Scanlon reports that Done now owns the entire site, saving the stabling block, for which a 10-year lease has been signed.
Prince Gibraltar is the 6-4 favourite for Sunday's French Derby, for which 21 horses are engaged following Tuesday's entry stage. Christophe Soumillon has ridden Prince Gibraltar in his two most recent starts but is expected to be claimed by his main employer, the Aga Khan, for Shamkiyr, leaving Gérald Mossé as the most likely partner for the favourite according to one French report on Tuesday night.
Karakontie, the French Guineas winner, will also line up at Chantilly, despite holding an alternative entry in the Epsom Derby six days later, his connections indicated on Tuesday. There are two British horses expected to try their luck in the French race, Kevin Ryan's The Grey Gatsby and Roger Varian's Ayrad.

Outside of "their" race.
- 277 Replies
Would you ever disown your kids or be upset with them if they dated/married or had kids with somone that was outside of their "skin color"? my friend's mom disowns her granddaughter because hse is hlaf white and half mexican, so i was wondering what other people thought about that. Was your parents like that with you?
lol no, I know it happens, but I don't really understand it.
Lol I'm Jamaican-African-American and married a Erou-"mutt" man and adopted hispanic daughters. So; o I wouldn't care if my children dated/married outside their race. As long as they treat my daughters right I don't care what color they are.
And I was adopted by a AA mom and a White dad; who alsoo adopted an Black-Thai child and a Black-Native American Child... So they didn't care what color I dated and married either; all they cared about was that he treated me right.
I don't care woo my children date. As long a they make them happy and do not abuse or hurt then
I'm pretty mixed myself ;) oh, and no... My son is dating an Asian American girl who is just a sweetheart.

WARREN, Ohio (WYTV) – Warren police are looking for a man who they say assaulted and robbed a woman Monday.
The victim was walking her dog along Austin Avenue around 9:30 a.m. when the man came up to her. She said she'd seen him several times before at the post office at Austin and W. Market Street.
He asked her for a cigarette and phone but when she denied both, grabbed her neck to restrain her, according to police.
She told officers that he bent her over and said, "This will only take a minute." The woman was able to resist him by scratching his face and screaming.
Police said he grabbed a necklace and three rings off of her and ran away. She told officers that the jewelry was all fake.
The man is described as having a disheveled appearance and being in his mid-30s. He has mid-length hair, a beard and a scar above the right side of his upper lip.
He was wearing a gray shirt and sweatpants, black sandals and white socks at the time of the incident.

Free! Hot Fuel Sticker
Get your own Oilwatchdog 'Hot Fuel Ripoff sticker: Don't let ExxonMobil's mealymouthed pump sticker be the last word! Put Oilwatchdog's sticker on your car or anywhere it will be seen by many. Not, of course, on gas pumps, which could be construed as posting without permission.
Our chances of fixing the "hot fuel" ripoff are improving. We've got a bill in the Senate to fix the "hot fuel" ripoff nationwide, for good. Sen. Claire McCaskill's S.1997, the FAIR Fuel bill, is also pushing regulators to allow you the same deal at the pump as wholesalers and most retailers: temperature-adjusted gasoline.
How hot is it in your neck of the woods? In triple-digit Arizona, a study is finding gasoline temperatures well over 100 degrees. You lose on any fuel over 60 degrees, up to a dime a gallon.~Enjoy!~

CWCS Eight Required Elements
Congress identified required elements in the
SWGlegislation. The Strategies must identify and be focused on the "species in greatest need of conservation," yet address the "full array of wildlife" and wildlife-related issues. They must provide:
(1) information on the distribution and abundance of species of wildlife, including low and declining populations as the State fish and wildlife agency deems appropriate, that are indicative of the diversity and health of the State's wildlife; and
(2) descriptions of locations and relative condition of key habitats and community types essential to conservation of species identified in (1); and
(3) descriptions of problems which may adversely affect species identified in (1) or their habitats, and priority research and survey efforts needed to identify factors which may assist in restoration and improved conservation of these species and habitats; and
(4) descriptions of conservation actions proposed to conserve the identified species and habitats and priorities for implementing such actions; and
(5) proposed plans for monitoring species identified in (1) and their habitats, for monitoring the effectiveness of the conservation actions proposed in (4), and for adapting these conservation actions to respond appropriately to new information or changing conditions; and
(6) descriptions of procedures to review the State Comprehensive Wildlife Conservation Strategy at intervals not to exceed ten years; and
(7) plans for coordinating the development, implementation, review, and revision of the State comprehensive wildlife conservation strategy with Federal, State, and local agencies and Indian tribes that manage significant land and water areas within the State or administer programs that significantly affect the conservation of identified species and habitats.
(8) Congress has affirmed through
SWG, and other guidance that broad public participation is an essential element of developing and implementing these Comprehensive Wildlife Conservation Strategies, the projects that are carried out while these Strategies are developed, and the Species in Greatest Need of Conservation that Congress has indicated such programs and projects are intended to emphasize.

Long story, short…
Salutations, I bring my best wishes to you,
I have been asked to write a blog; a year ago I didn't know what a blog was. However, I am computer savvy especially, in Word and Power Point. I wish I had started and learned on a Mac but I do love my PC. I'm just happy to be apart of the computer revolution. When you think about it, our country is only 229 years old; it is amazing to me all that has been accomplished in such a short period of time. The invention and creation of so much by brilliant people has always fascinated me. You can start as far back as 386-BC and the teachings of the Greek philosopher Plato on the subject of Social Life and Justice.
Of course the Industrial Revolution of the 18th and 19th centuries gave us the biggest push towards an advanced world. Today it's the mathematicians, the scientists, humanitarians, and the few who tinker with what comes to mind, these are the people responsible for making us all flourish and thrive.
I probably think too much about what makes us happy or miserable, however, it's interesting to me the whys and wherefores life has to offer. It's especially important to me because life has slipped dangerously away from me on more then one occasion.
It would take a book to explain my life story, (It's in the works), however, in this short Blog; let me just share with you the medical aspects of my life. After all, I am seeking a kidney to sustain my life and my health issues have been prevalent going back as far as age six.
In those early years in Eureka Illinois, I suffered horribly from asthma and hay fever, not being able catch your breath is a terrifying experience for a young child. In the early 1950s, a pharmaceutical product administered with an atomizer became available, it open up the lungs for easer breathing. It was called Solution B, the only problem was, the atomizer was made of glass and a six year old kid was bound to break them quit often. With that little gizmo, I made it though my elementary years. By my freshman year at Carl Sandberg High School in Orland Park, Illinois just South of Chicago, I was over my asthmatic problems and feeling pretty good.
High school was a physical cake walk, no problems. I was a little short of breath, it was left over from my early years but I still played football, ran track in the 100 yard dash and wrestled. All went well in high school. It was during this time I found the profession course my life would be taking.
Outside of high school in a small teen club near Chicago, I meet up with people who were as excited as I was about Rock & Roll and Blues music, my career would begin from there. I can't take the time to give you all the details of my life's work; I can tell you it has been an amazing journey.
President of an advertising agency, radio and TV producer / writer, announcer of thousands of commercials in the major Chicago market, creator for radio the signature phase Sunday-Sunday-Sunday, host of the national TV show, "The Super Chargers", aired in 120 markets, it was all about fast cars and super stars shot in Hollywood over a twelve year period , promoter of automobile speedway events, announcer at the Indianapolis 500, WOW there you have it, a career that was extraordinary to say the least.
Most men have one profession in life; I had many, however not always without some pain or suffering. In 1990 I knew I had genetic Polycystic Kidney Disease and was just waiting for the day it would become a real problem. In the mean time, I became part of a stock car short track racing team; it included a couple of notables, the President of McDonalds, Ed Rensi and Jimmy Rietz a computer genius. In late 1992 the serious health issues started to raise their ugly heads. I was getting occasional angina, my Cardiologists prognosis was to open my chest and unclog four important arteries. At the same time I was starting on Peritoneal Dialysis to clean my blood daily and keep me alive.
In early 1993 they opened my chest up and completed four-way pass surgery. It took several weeks to convalesce; during all this all the time I was self dialyzing, waiting on a transplant from the Kidney Donor List. I was always exhausted but did what I had too.
Then in late 1993 a matching cadaver kidney became available, I was about to have my second major surgery in the same year. It all went well, I recovered nicely, life continued on with never a thought of my heart or kidney, everything was working fine. I was fifty three years of age, and still in my prime. My advertising clients came and went business was good.
Twelve years passed, then; bad news; my kidney was failing. I soon went on Hemo Dialysis which I'm still on today. I continue to wait month after month and pray for a live donor.
In 2005, as I lost my kidney, a new problem began to occur; I noticed it was becoming more difficult to walk, fortunately I hadn't smoked since my twenty's, so my breathing was just fine. As the months rolled by and I continued my work in advertising, my legs continued to weaken. My nephrologist sent me to a back specialist, who looked at my MIR and determined I need back surgery at the L-5 spine level. When I met with the surgeon he emphatically said no, I was not ready for the surgery, I evidently was not in enough pain and maybe just maybe, my deteriorating legs were not caused by a back problem. He was going to be correct.
A few months later I was at a point in time were walking was all most impossible. My doctor sent me in for a battery of tests at Good Samaritan Hospital in Downers Grove, Illinois. The test revealed I had "Peripheral Artery Disease". Unfortunately, I was late in the discovery of this deadly disease that constricts the blood vessels in your legs. Artery Intervention was performed to save the legs, it failed.
I made plans for the inevitable; I went into full retirement and into Good Samaritan Hospital. My right leg was removed to six inches above the knee; the left leg was amputated to eight inches below the knee. I was in that hospital for almost a year. It took another year to recover to the point were I can now drive a car by my self and work short hours on my computer. I am on dialysis three days a week for four hours. Most of the time I feel pretty good but always a little tried from dialysis. Unfortunately, all the kidney transplant list has to offer is cadaver kidneys, because I have already had one kidney I need a live donor, I hope to find one soon or my health will continue to deteriorate.
My sprit is high, my faith in humanity even higher. I thank you for sharing my life story and lets hope I can continue life with a kidney from someone who is willing to share there life with me.

Uganda Promotes A New Land Information System
I am in Washington D.C. this week representing Thomson Reuters at the World Bank Land and Poverty Conference. This is an exciting week for our team as it affords us the opportunity to share the stage on Thursday with one of our clients in Africa, Uganda. The Minister, the Honorable Daudi Migereko from the Ministry of Lands, Housing and Urban Development, will discuss implementation of the Land Information System (LIS) in Uganda.
Phase I of the project started with the design of the land information system and piloting of the system in six Ministry Zonal Offices. This Project began in February 2010, and was funded by the World Bank, implemented by the IGN and supported with Thomson Reuters Aumentum software and services. Phase 1 was successfully signed off and approved by the Ugandan parliament and the World Bank Committee this February and work on Phase 2 is expected to start later this year.
The main objective of the Project was to contribute to the establishment of an efficient land administration system in Uganda, to facilitate and improve the delivery of basic land services to Ugandan citizens and improve land tenure security.
The project results have been impressive:
- More than 200 staff members of the Ministry of Lands, Housing and Urban Development have been trained to manage and use the system.
- During the course of development and implementation of the LIS the ranking of Uganda improved by 37 positions in the World Bank Doing Business Report.
- According to World Bank statistics, property transfers once took more than 200 days to complete. Now they can be done in just 52 days. And obtaining a mortgage, which once take more than a week, can now be accomplished in about three days.
- Title search times have disappeared. A process that once took more than a year can now be completed instantaneously; the backlog of unprocessed land registrations has been eliminated; and confidence in real estate agents, mortgage finance organizations and private developers have increased.
You can read more about the success of this project here. The partnership between the Uganda Ministry of Lands and Thomson Reuters has certainly proven to provide great success.
Under Phase II, which is also funded by the World Bank, the LIS is to be enhanced through inclusion of land use, land valuation and survey functions, enhancement of system security as well as a transition to online services for citizens.
If you are attending the World Bank Land and Poverty Conference, please join us to hear more about the projects at one or both of the following sessions:
March 26, 12:00, Room C2-131
Interactive Workshop: Transformational Land Registration And Land Administration Solutions

Arsenal attacker Theo Walcott hailed their character shown for victory at Sunderland.
Arsene Wenger's side were forced to dig deep for the three points following Carl Jenkinson's red card, and Walcott was delighted they showed their battling qualities.
"It was an important win," the England international told arsenal.com. "The three points have us on a high and we've got a nice week now without any midweek game.
"A lot of players are back from international duty and need a bit of a break. Some may be rested for the FA Cup game, but that's just as important as we want to go far in that competition. If we lost [at Sunderland], we would have been dwelling on it for so long, so I'm glad we didn't.
"We're very confident [of finishing in the top four]. We can battle through any sort of situation. The teams around us are winning as well, but we've just got to make sure we look after ourselves and try to win as often as we can.
"We'll see where we are at the end of the season but we've got to show the belief we did at Sunderland. I felt there were a lot of winners in that dressing room and the boys were fantastic."

[This information is from Vol. I, pp. 219-224 of Hudson-Mohawk Genealogical and Family Memoirs, edited by Cuyler Reynolds (New York: Lewis Historical Publishing Company, 1911). It is in the Reference collection of the Schenectady County Public Library at R 929.1 R45. Some of the formatting of the original, especially in lists of descendants, may have been altered slightly for ease of reading.]
Thomas Geer, born 1623, was son of Jonathan Geere, of Heavitree, county Devon, England. Jonathan Geere was a descendant in the fifth generation from Walter Geere, of Heavitree, Devonshire, living about 1450, who married Alice Somaster. The parents of Thomas died when he was young, and he and his brother George were left in charge of an uncle, who in order to obtain possession of their property, which was considerable, shipped them to Boston, where they landed in 1635 without money and without friends. George became an early settler of New London, Connecticut, about 1651, and from him the elder branch of the family (the Connecticut Geers) are descended. Thomas had land granted him at Enfield, Connecticut, July 24, 1682. He married Deborah ———— had two children, Shubael, born about 1683, and Elizabeth, who died in infancy. Thomas Geer died January 14, 1722, aged ninety-nine years.
(II) Shubael, son of Thomas Geer, born about 1683, married Sarah, daughter of Thomas Abbe, January 27, 1702-03. He had land granted him March 5, 1700. Children (born Enfield, see Stile's Windsor, Conn., II, 285): Shubael, Jr., and Thomas, born July 1, 1722.
(III) Shubael (2), son of Shubael (1) Geer, was born 1717. He married and had children: Hannah, born 1738; Sarah, 1740; Shubael, 1743; Ebenezer, 1745; Ebenezer, 1747; Ebenezer, 1750; Hannah, 1753; Mindwell, 1756; Walter, 1759; George, 1761; Charles, twin of George.
(IV) Walter, son of Shubael (2) Geer, was born 1759. At age of nineteen (May, 1778) he enlisted with his brother Charles, aged sixteen, in Captain Jason Wait's company, Colonel John Stark's regiment, as from Marlow, Cheshire county, New Hampshire (Marlow adjoins Keene). (See State Papers N. H. XIV, Rev. War Rolls I,. p. 598.) The History of Charlestown, New Hampshire, states that Walter Geer married Lucy, born March 28, 1758, daughter of Benjamin and Peggy (Spafford) Allen. Children:
The History of Charlestown also states that Benjamin Allen married, November 6, 1751, Peggy Spafford, daughter of Captain John and Hannah Spafford, born June 30, 1735, children: Eunice, Oliver, Lucy, married Walter Geer.
(V) Walter (2), son of Walter (1) Geer, was born at Charlestown, New Hampshire, January 9, 1792. His boyhood and early youth were passed with his parents in Salem, Washington county, New York. About the time he reached his majority he removed to Union Village, where he was drafted and went with the militia of our eastern border to repel the British advance at Plattsburg during the war of 1812. He removed in February, 1816, to Schaghticoke, where he commenced business as a tanner and currier. At this time he appears to have been the associate and peer of such men as William L. Marcy, Jonas C. Heartt, Job Pierson; Moses Warren, James Livingston and B. P. Staats; men that for a generation exercised a controlling influence over the politics of eastern New York, and all of whom left their mark upon the dial plate of the world's progress. In March, 1820, he came to Glens Falls, New York, and resumed the business pursued at Schaghticoke. He soon afterwards embarked in trade with Abraham Wing and L. L. Pixley. Was afterwards a partner with George Sanford in the mercantile business. At the time of the enlargement of the Glens Falls Feeder (branch of the Delaware and Hudson canal), of which he was an active promoter, he had a contract with the state for some portion of the excavation, and also built the locks at Fort Edward. Not far from this time he went into the lumbering business with the late James D. Weston and John J. Harris. Their investments and ventures were so judiciously made. and the business so ably looked after and managed, that all these acquired a handsome competency. He was a magistrate in Queensbury, New York, from 1821 to 1826, and member of assembly in 1837, a year memorable in politics for its financial crisis, and the secession of the Conservatives from the dominant party. He was one of the principal originators and founders of the Glens Falls Academy; was instrumental in forwarding the erection of the Second Presbyterian Church building, which was destroyed in the great fire of 1864. He was a promoter of educational and religious enterprises, an active and influential politician, a man of indomitable will and inflexible purpose. He died July 16, 1855, and was among the first whose remains were deposited in the new cemetery, where a handsome and conspicuous monument has since been erected to his memory. (History of Queensbury, N. Y., p. 51.)
He married, in Northumberland, November 2, 1815, Henrietta Van Buren, born September 20, 1792, at Easton, New York, daughter of Elizabeth Newell and Martin Van Buren, cousin of President Van Buren and Elizabeth (Newell) Van Buren. Children:
(VI) Asahel Clarke, son of Walter (2) Geer, was born January 6, 1823, at Glens Falls, New York.
The New York Tribune of July 23, 1902, states:
"A. C. Geer, of Washington, who was stricken with apoplexy at his summer home at Williamstown, Mass., on Thursday, July 17th, died there on Monday night. Mr. Geer was born at Glens Falls, N. Y., on Jan. 6th, 1823, and was the oldest son of Henrietta Van Buren and Walter Geer, Jr. He was prepared for college at Burr Seminary, Manchester, Vt., and entered Union College, at Schenectady, N. Y., from which he was graduated in 1843 with the highest honors. He received from his alma mater, three years later, the degree of A.M.
"After leaving college he entered the law office of E. H. Rosekrans, at Glens Falls, with whom he remained one year. He then completed his legal studies with Geo. A. Simmons, at Keeseville, N. Y., and was admitted to the bar at the General Term of the Supreme Court held at Rochester, in October, 1846. He practised for two years with H. Z. Hayner, at Troy, and in 1848 formed a partnership with Abram B. Olin, afterward member of Congress from Rensselaer county, and later judge of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia. The firm name at first was Olin, White & Geer, and later Olin, Geer & Colby. His practice was a large one, the firm being counsel for the Troy and Boston R. R. Co. and other large corporations of Northern New York. From 1862 to 1868 Mr. Geer was Collector of Internal Revenue for the Fifteenth District of New York. On June 1st, 1868, he accepted the position of secretary and general manager of the Walter A. Wood Mowing and Reaping Machine Co., at Hoosick Falls, N. Y., with which he remained for eighteen years, until his retirement from active business in 1886. In January, 1886, in conjunction with the late Orlando B. Potter, of New York, he organized the N. Y. Architectural Terra Cotta Company, of which he was vice-president up to the time of his death."
After Mr. Geer's retirement from active business in 1886, he purchased the residence at Washington of the late judge A. B. Olin, where he and Mrs. Geer have since passed their winters, spending their summers at Hoosick Falls, New York, and at Williamstown, Massachusetts. He married, in Providence, January 24, 1856, Helen Augusta Danforth (see Danforth VII).
The maternal ancestor of the Geer family of Hoosick Falls, New York, was Nicholas Danforth, born in Frameingham [Framingham], England, baptized March 1, 1589, died in Cambridge, Massachusetts, 1638. His descent is traced to William, died 1512, and Isabel Danforth, through their son Paul, died 1538, and his wife, Katteryne Danforth, through their son Nicholas, died 1585, and his wife, Alice Danforth, through their son Thomas, married, January 24, 1585, Jane, daughter of Thomas Sudbury. Thomas and Jane (Sudbury) Danforth were the parents of Nicholas, "the emigrant," who is thus described by Rev. Cotton Mather in Magnalia, vol. II, p. 59: "Mr. N. Danforth: A gentleman of such estate and repute in the world that it cost him a considerable sum to escape the knighthood which King Charles I. imposed on all at so much per annum; and of such figure and esteem in the church that he procured that famous lecture at Frameingham in Suffolk, where he lead a fine mansion; * * * This person had three sons whereof the second was our Samuel, born in September, 1626, and by the desire of his mother, who died three years after his birth, earnestly dedicated unto the 'Schools of the prophets.' His father brought him to New England in the year 1634, and at his death about four years after his arrival here, he committed this hopeful son of many prayers unto the paternal oversight of Mr. Shepherd who proved a kind patron unto him."
Nicholas Danforth is mentioned in the town records of Cambridge, Massachusetts, in 1635, and in that year was chosen deputy to the general court. He died in April, 1638. He married Elizabeth ————, who died in Frameingham, England, where she was buried February 22, 1628. Children, all born in England:

She is a highly educated, intellectual woman, especially accomplished in the languages, one of the "finest types of the old New England woman." Lived the first ten years of her married life in Troy, where her pastor, Rev. Dr. Coit, rector of St. Paul's Episcopal Church, pronounced her the "most accomplished woman of his congregation." Dr. John Lord said she was the "most remarkable woman he had ever known; her beauty and grace won all hearts." She was one of the earliest members of the Daughters of the American Revolution, and in 1893 was vice-president general of the National Society. She married, in Providence, Rhode Island, January 24, 1856, Asahel Clarke Geer (see Geer VI), born in Glens Falls, New York, January 6, 1823, died in Williamstown, Massachusetts, July 21, 1902.

He rose through successive promotions to the offices of assistant secretary, secretary and treasurer, vice-president and finally president, which important office he now (1910) most worthily fills. Since 1893 he has been a director of the company. The record from office boy to president of so large and important a corporation is one seldom equalled and should prove an inspiration to young men.
