Professor William Wells, Ph.D., LL.D., was born in New York City, 1820, died at Schenectady, New York, December 12, 1907. His boyhood and youth were passed in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where his parents removed when he was nine years of age. His academic education was obtained in Philadelphia, where he made good progress toward that mastery of foreign tongues which later made him famous. In 1846 he made his first visit to Europe. He spent a year in Vienna, as an unofficial attachee of the American legation, also pursuing studies at the University. Then he went to Berlin, where he matriculated at the University and entered upon a course of study which led in due time to the degree of Ph.D. in 1848. Those were the days of revolution in Europe, when Louis Phillipe was driven from the throne of France, when the Crown Prince of Prussia, afterwards the Emperor of Germany, William I, was compelled by popular hatred to leave his country for a time; when Hungary was in open revolt against Austria, and when the Chartist agitation threatened revolution even in England. Professor Wells was deeply interested in these great events happening around him. He had an interesting experience in the Berlin riots that taught him that he was not able to cope with the Prussian cavalry. He next went to the German parliament at Frankfort-on-the-Main, as secretary to the special American embassy to that body. He remained during the entire session as correspondent of the New York Herald, then went to Paris, where he spent a college year as a student at the Sorbonne and the College de France. Afterwards he traveled over a large part of Europe, returning to the United States in 1851. He spent a year in Cincinnati, Ohio, where he had the honor and pleasure of making the address of welcome to Louis Kossuth, on the occasion of the Hungarian patriot's visit to that city.
In 1852 he was elected professor of modern languages in Genesee College, Lima, New York. There he remained twelve years, during part of the time acting also as principal of the Genesee Wesleyan Seminary. In 1865 he was called to the Chair of Modern Language and Literature at Union College, Schenectady, New York, thus beginning the connection that was maintained unbroken for over forty years. In 1872 he received the degree of LL.D. from the Indiana Asbury University, now known as De Pauw University. In 1887 the professorship at Union College was enlarged by the addition of the lectureship on current history. In the interest of that work he visited the southern states of the Union, the West Indies, Mexico, Central America, Alaska, California, the Rocky Mountain region, and later made an extended tour comprising every country of Europe from the North Cape, with its strange vision of the midnight sun, to Greece and Constantinople, Asia Minor, Egypt, to the Cataracts of the Nile and the other countries of Northern Africa. On his return from this, his fourth visit to the Old World, he was welcomed home by the alumni of Union College with a hearty demonstration in New York harbor, which attested the deep respect and affection with which he was regarded by Union College men. The results of his observations and reflection during his tours were embodied in a series of lectures, delivered annually to the senior class and the general public. In the spring of 1890 Dr. Wells celebrated his seventieth birthday and the fiftieth anniversary of his entrance upon the profession of teaching, the same year marking the completion of a quarter-century's work at Union College. Fifteen years longer he continued his connection, when the burden of years proved too heavy and he was retired professor emeritus. His beautiful home was on the college grounds and there he celebrated his eighty-seventh birthday, April 4, 1907. He was beloved of the students to whom he had endearingly become "Uncle Billy." At a meeting of the Chicago Alumni Association twenty-five alumni of the college banqueting at Chicago sent him this telegram: "Twenty-five nephews from Chicago and the Northwest extend heartiest greeting, and best wishes for many years more with Old Union." His activities were not confined by college walls. By voice and pen he was long known as one of the foremost educators. He lectured in all the great cities of the United States from Boston to San Francisco. He was the first European correspondent of the New York Herald, and during his last great tour abroad was special correspondent of the New York Mail and Express. For over twenty years he was in charge of the foreign department of the Methodist Review, and was a frequent editorial and general contributor to all the leading papers of the Methodist Episcopal church. Able articles from his pen also appeared in the Independent, Scribner's Monthly and the Century Magazine. He was associated with Dr. Taylor Lewis in the preparation of the "Book of Genesis for Lange's Commentary," and translated the Book of Ecclesiastes for the same work. When the philanthropist, Daniel Drew, had in contemplation the founding of Drew Theological Seminary, Professor Wells was one of the men who were called upon for advice and assistance. He took an active part in the foundation of the seminary and was ever after on the board of trustees. He was a devoted Methodist and for twenty-five years superintendent of the Sunday school of State Street Methodist Episcopal Church at Schenectady. He was elected and served as lay delegate to the general conference of his church in 1872, the first year laymen were admitted as delegates. He was again elected to the general conference of 1876 and served as one of the secretaries of that conference. At his death fitting memorials were passed by different bodies, from which we quote the faculty in part:
"He was not only immensely useful to the college by his scholarship and attainment, but made for himself a place in the hearts of the students, which he kept long after graduation. For nearly half a century he has been closely and affectionately connected with every one's thought of the college. As a personal friend Professor Wells, was loved and honored not only by the faculty, students and alumni of Union, but far more widely; for his sympathy and interests had brought him into connection with many persons and many institutions and he came to no work or occupation where he did not attain the affection as well as the respect of those with whom he was associated."
"The passing years but added to the kindliness of his nature, to his devotion to the College, and to his love for his pupils of the past and present."' Not inappropriately was he called "The Grand Old Man of Union College."
Professor Wells married, July, 1854, Alice Yeckley, born at Gorham, Ontario county, New York, March 15, 1836, died at Schenectady, April 26, 1906. She was educated at Genesee Wesleyan Seminary and Genesee College (afterwards Syracuse University): They removed to Schenectady in 1865, and there resided until death. Like her husband, Mrs. Wells was a devoted Christian worker in the Methodist Episcopal church, especially in missions and work among the young. She was for many years president of the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society of the First (State Street) Church and for twelve years president of the Woman's Auxiliary of the Young Men's Christian Association. She organized and was president of the Mother's Club connected with the Young Women's Christian Association. She was closely identified with the social life of the college, and in all respects was a worthy helpmeet and companion. One child, Alice M. Wells, survives her parents, residing in Schenectady, New York.
Alice Yeckley (Mrs. Professor William Wells) was a descendant through her mother, Mary Arnold Yeckley, from the famous Arnold family of England, who traced their descent and origin to the ancient Princes of Wales.
The Arnold family is one of great antiquity and honorable mention in the early annals. The descent is traced to Ynir, King of Gwentland, who flourished about the middle of the twelfth century. King Ynir descended through a second son from Cadwalader, last King of the Britons. The ancient Castle of Abergavenny, Monmouthshire, England, built by Cadwalader, may yet be seen, although in ruins. The line briefly told is traced from a son of each generation.
(I) Ynir, King of Gwentland, married Nesta, daughter of Justin, King of Glamorgan.
(II) Meiric, King of Gwentland, married Eleanor of the house of Trevor.

(XIII) Thomas Arnold, successor to the estates in Monmouthshire, married Agnes, daughter of Sir Richard Warnstead.
(XIV) Richard Arnold, married Emmate, daughter of Pearce Young.
(XV) Richard Arnold (2), born in Somersetshire, removed to Dorsetshire, England, became seated at Bagbere, and was Lord of the Manor. His name appears on the "Subsidy Rolls" of the county of Dorset, 1549. He was patron of the churches of Blanford and Bingham Melcombe. His manor house at Bagbere was standing until 1870, when it was demolished. His will was probated July 9, 1595. He desires "To be buried in the Parishe Church of Millton, in the Ile called Jesus Ile as we go to the Lower."
(XVI) Thomas, second son of Richard Arnold, of Bagbere, Dorsetshire, England, is mentioned in his father's will. He removed to Cheselbourne and seated himself on an estate, formerly the property of his father. He was twice married. His first wife Alice bore him six sons. By his second wife he had three children.
(XVII) Thomas (2), son of Thomas (1) Arnold, was born in Cheselbourne, Dorset county, England, baptized April 18, 1599, died in Providence, Rhode Island, September, 1674. He was the founder of this branch of the Arnold family in America. He came to the New World in the ship, "Plain Joan," in May, 1635, and soon settled at Watertown, Massachusetts. May 13, 1640, he was made freeman. April 2, 1654, he was fined five pounds for neglecting public worship for twenty days. April 2, 1655, was fined ten pounds for neglecting public worship for forty days. He had lands allotted him on the several distributions and seems to have been a man of means. He was deputy, 1666-67-70-71-72, and a member of the town council. He married twice; by first wife he had: Thomas, Nicholas and Susanna. His second wife Phoebe, daughter of George and Susanna Parkhurst, died in 1688. Children: Ichabod, Richard, see forward, Thomas, John, Eleazer and Elizabeth.
(XVIII) Richard, son of Thomas (2) and Phoebe (Parkhurst) Arnold, was born at Watertown, Massachusetts, March 22, 1642-43, died April 22, 1710. He was a man of superior ability; held many official positions; member of the general assembly and assistant governor of Sir Edmond Andros at Boston: He was repeatedly chosen to act with committees in the adjustment of boundary disputes, with neighboring colonies and to settle differences among fellow townsmen. He was deputy twelve sessions between 1671 and 1708, assistant in the intervening years when not deputy. In 1707-08 he was speaker of the house of deputies. He married (first) Mary, died 1695, daughter of Thomas and Alice Angell. He married (second) Sarah ————, died 1712. Children; all by first wife: Richard; John, see forward; Thomas; Mary, married Thomas Steere.
(XIX) John, son of Richard and Mary (Angell) Arnold, was born in Providence; Rhode Island, November 1, 1670, died October 27, 1756. He was the first settler of Woonsocket, Connecticut; one of the organizers of the Society of Friends in Northern Rhode Island, and built their first meetinghouse. When Smithfield became a town in 1731, he was the first president of the council. He was one of the committee who ran the northern boundary line in 1718. In 1712 he built his corn and flouring mill on the Island near Woonsocket Falls. He was a miller by trade and became a very wealthy man for his day. He married (first) Mary, born 1675, daughter of Nathaniel and Joana (Inman) Mowry, (second) October 31, 1742, Hannah Hayward. Children, all by first wife: William, John, Daniel, Anthony, see forward; Seth, Israel, Anna, Susanna and Abigail.
(XX) Anthony, son of John and Mary (Mowry) Arnold, was born March 12, 1704. By will of his father he received sixty acres of land near the Falls, Woonsocket, Connecticut. This included "An Island, with two corn mills, and a fulling mill thereon." He sold this property and removed to Cromwell, Dutchess county, New York. He also received from his father "five pounds, current money." He married and left two children, David and Sarah.
(XXI) David, son of Anthony Arnold, was born May 27, 1733, died 1822. He had four sons and three daughters.
(XXII) Jonathan, son of David Arnold, was born March 1, 1771, died November 13, 1851. He left two sons and three daughters: Seth, Anthony, Mary, Hannah and Sarah.

(XXV) Alice M., only child of Professor William and Alice (Yeckley) Wells, was born in Schenectady, New York, where she still resides (1909), the only surviving member of the family. She was educated at Syracuse University. She is a communicant of the Methodist Episcopal church. Member of the Young Women's Christian Association, of which she is president (1910), and a member of the Woman's Glub, Mohawk Golf Club.
NOTE. — The mystery as to the origin of the "Old Stone Mill," at Newport, doubtless created the legend that it was constructed by the Norsemen in the tenth or twelfth century. Longfellow gave it immortality in "The Lofty Tower," in his "Skeleton in Armor," and much time has been wasted upon it by savants. The mill stood on Governor Benedict Arnold's farm, and in his will he clearly indicates the purpose for which it was intended and used: "My body I desire and appoint to be buried at ye Northeast corner of a parcel of ground, containing three rods square, being of and lying in my land, in or near the line or path from my dwelling house, leading to my Stone Wind Mill in ye town of Newport." The bones of the first governor of Rhode Island under Charles IV (1633) rest within the grounds belonging to Hon. Charles C. Van Zant, governor of Rhode Island in 1870. The stone that marks the spot is so mossgrown that it is impossible to decipher the inscription.

Press Box: Davidson joins Atlantic 10; Penalties against Gibbs team reduced
Davidson was announced as the newest member of the Atlantic 10 on Wednesday. The Atlantic 10 Conference Council of Presidents unanimously approved Davidson's application for membership.
Xavier and Butler defected to the new Big East prior to the 2013-14 season and after the upcoming season, Temple (American Athletic Conference) and Charlotte (Conference USA) are leaving the league.
Davidson joins George Mason as the A-10 newcomers. The Patriots are joining the A-10 for the 2013-14 season.
--Utah State athletic director Scott Barnes was named Wednesday to be the NCAA men's basketball committee chairman for the 2014-15 season. Barnes, who has been a committee member since 2010, will serve as vice chairman this season while Wake Forest's Ron Wellman serves as committee chairman.
Barnes has been the athletic director at Utah State since April 2008. On July 1, Utah State leaves the WAC and becomes a member of the Mountain West.
--Former basketball standout Chris Webber's exile from Michigan is over.
The school's 10-year disassociation period with one of the prominent members of the Wolverines' "Fab Five" team of the 1990s ended Wednesday. The banishment was the result of the Ed Martin booster scandal and subsequent NCAA penalties.
Webber was one of four disassociated Michigan basketball players - Maurice Taylor, Robert Traylor and Louis Bullock -- who accepted more than $600,000 from Martin, who was the subject of a federal investigation and is now deceased.
In the fallout from the sanctions, Michigan removed banners from the school's 1992 and 1993 Final Four appearances. The players involved also were not permitted to assist with recruiting, donate to the athletic department or show up on campus.
Michigan athletic director Dave Brandon has suggested that Webber owes the school an apology and former Webber teammate Jalen Rose, now an ESPN analyst, agrees. But Webber has never offered to do so.
In April, Webber was spotted along with other "Fab Five" teammates in the crowd at the Final Four in Atlanta, where Michigan advanced to the national championship game.
Webber was not available for comment, according to several news organizations that tried to reach him.
Legendary Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson announced Wednesday that he will retire at the end of the season.
Ferguson, 71, will become a club director and ambassador after the final two games of the season. Manchester United has clinched its 13th Premier League title in Ferguson's 26 years.
Everton's David Moyes is a leading candidate to replace Ferguson, the London Evening Standard reported. Moyes' contract runs out this summer with Everton.
During his storied run, Ferguson also won two Champions League titles and five FA Cups. He took over Old Trafford in 1986 and is considered the most successful manager in British soccer history.
The club is owned by the U.S.-based Glazer family.
NASCAR reduced the penalties against Joe Gibbs Racing after the team's owner appealed the sanctions against his crew and driver for using an illegal engine part during the Sprint Cup race at Kansas Speedway in April.
A three-member National Stock Car Racing Commission appeals panel decreased the points penalty against driver Matt Kenseth from 50 to 12 and the suspension of crew chief Jason Ratcliff from six races to one. The additional points elevated Kenseth from 11th to fourth in the season standings.
Gibbs also successfully lobbied for Kenseth's Kansas victory to count toward Chase for the Championship contention and for Gibbs to be able to collect owner points for the next six races.
Gibbs argued that his team wasn't responsible for a connecting rod being 2.7 grams too light while the other rods were over the minimum weight.
He contended that the blame falls on Toyota Racing Development, the engine maker that had its manufacturer points penalty increased from five to seven.
Ratcliffe still faces a $200,00 fine. He will serve the suspension this week at Darlington and then will be on probation for the following three races.
Mount Union coach Larry Kehres resigned Wednesday after leading the NCAA Division III program to unparalleled success.
Kehres won 11 national championships and 23 Ohio Athletic Conference titles and compiled a 332-24-3 record, a .924 winning percentage, since he became coach in 1986. His teams also finished undefeated 21 times and the 332 wins rank fifth in college football history behind Jon Gagliardi (489), Eddie Robinson (408), Bobby Bowden (377) and Pop Warner (336).
The 63-year-old Kehres will remain as athletic director at the school, located in Alliance, Ohio. His son, Vince, will take over as head coach.
Vince Kehres played on two national championship teams. He joined his father's coaching staff 13 years ago and spent the last eight as defensive coordinator.
Mount Union won the 2012 national championship in Larry Kehres' final season.
---Former Notre Dame fullback Asaph Schwapp died Wednesday as the result of a year-long battle with non-Hodgkins lymphoma. Schwapp, 26, graduated from Notre Dame in 2010.
A week after the PGA Tour lifted sanctions against Vijay Singh for acknowledging his use of a deer-antler spray, he filed suit Wednesday against the tour.
Singh was cleared last week by the PGA Tour of wrongdoing, but that didn't stop him from taking his case to the Supreme Court of the State of New York, alleging that the tour violated its duty of care and good faith.
The suit claims that the tour should have recognized through testing and research that the deer-antler spray contained no banned performance-enhancing substances.
Singh had acknowledged in an interview in January that he had used the spray but did not realize it had been linked to a human growth hormone. The World Anti-Doping Agency no longer has the deer-antler substance on its banned list.
Singh has won three major championships and has 34 career PGA Tour victories. He's also a member of the World Golf Hall of Fame

TCU Sweeps UT-Pan American With 18-0 Win
April 11, 2009
EDINBURG, Texas - On the heels of a no-hitter, the TCU Horned Frogs fired a one-hitter as they completed the series sweep of the UT-Pan American Broncs with an 18-0 victory. The one-hitter is the 15th in school history and the first since 1996. Offensively, three Frogs tallied three RBIs, while Matt Curry led all hitters with three hits.
The last one-hitter came on April 6, 1996 when Derek Lee held the Baylor Bears to one hit in seven innings. The last nine-inning one-hitter came on January 27, 1996 against Hawaii-Hilo. Greg Holle tossed three hitless innings to get the win. Sean Hoelscher threw three hitless innings and Kaleb Merck tossed in two. Derek VerHagen allowed the lone hit with a lead-off single in the ninth, before striking out three to end the game.
The last time a Frog team had back-to-back shutouts came back in 2003 when they blanked Cincinnati 3-0 and 7-0 on April 26 and 27.
Not to be lost in the pitching accolades, the Horned Frog offense tied a school record with nine doubles in the contest. Three Frogs, Curry, Bryan Holaday and Jimmie Pharr, each had two in the game.
A big first inning got the Frogs off to a good start and from there the runs kept coming. The Frogs picked up five runs on four hits and sent 10 men to the plate. Ben Carruthers was hit by the second pitch of the game and moved to second on a wild pitch. Taylor Featherston drove the ball through the gap on the right side and Carruthers scored standing up. After a walk to Matt Carpenter, Chris Ellington made it a 2-0 game with a seeing-eye single through the left side.
Holaday ended the afternoon of Bronc starter, Doug Roth, with a double off the wall in left that plated two more runs. He came around to score on a base hit by Jason Coats to give the Frogs a 5-0 lead after one.
The Frogs added to their lead in the top of the second. Featherston singled to open the inning followed by a Carpenter double to put two on with nobody out. Ellington drove in his second run of the game with a sacrifice fly to center to make it a 6-0 contest.
TCU exploded for four more runs in the top of the fourth inning. With one out, Corey Steglich doubled before Bronc pitcher Nathan Molina issued back-to-back walks to Carpenter and Ellington. Matt Vern cleared the bases with a triple to right and scored on a Molina wild pitch to give the Frogs a 10-0 lead.
Another run crossed the plate for the Frogs in the fifth inning. Curry doubled to lead off the inning and scored on a Corey Steglich sacrifice fly.
Curry came through with his second double of the contest in the top of the sixth to drive in two more runs as the Frogs pushed the lead to 13-0. Zac Jordan drew a lead-off walk and moved to third on Holaday's second double of the contest.
Hunt Woodruff unloaded for his second home run of the season, a three-run shot in the ninth inning that gave the Frogs a 16-0 lead. Curry drove in his third run of the game as he singled up the middle to drive in Pharr. Brance Rivera scored the final run of the contest on an errant throw by the second baseman.
The Frogs improve to 22-10 on the season. They return home briefly for a Monday afternoon affair against the Texas Tech Red Raiders. First pitch is slated for 3 p.m. at Lupton Stadium.

Hiya All
Hope you are all doing well. Its been a mega busy week for me and I only managed to scrape this swatch together today. I was looking through some of my greens and saw Madori and thought hmmm that it reminds me of Moonpool... so hence the swatch comparison. I found them to look quite different in the bottle but on the nail they are very similar. The main difference is that Moonpool is slightly darker and the application is much thinner due to the fact the bottle is old. Other than that if you are desperate to get yourself a bottle of moonpool... I personally wouldn't bother Madori is super close and the applications is x10 better!
So onto the pics

I'm not offended
Christie Bolsen | Thursday, April 7, 2005
One hazy night in London, I mistakenly boarded bus number 23 without my lovely roommates. When they realized back in Flat 16 that I was missing, they "organized" a makeshift "search party" that consisted of them wandering around in a Strongbow-induced stupor, asking randoms if anyone had seen "the Asian."
Judging by the offended reaction of passers-by, we apparently find ethnic jokes a bit too funny. I must have the sensitivity of a rhinoceros when it comes to the fine nuances of the diversity debate, since it's okay for people to refer to me as "the Asian," or to make me keep the cups score because "my kind" is "good with numbers," or to tell me that we're only good at Little League and hot dog eating contests.
We're all careful about being politically correct, so saying you hate Asians in Scholastic is not received as humorous, and Latin Expressions emcees are perceived as alienating non-Latinos. Is it really the people making good-natured jokes we should worry about, when we know for a fact that they are not at all racist? Please, let's rally our efforts instead against the boorishly ignorant, like people who try to find out what kind of Asian you are by asking, "Where are you from?" If you really want to know what kind of Asian someone is, the effectiveness of this question is clearly dependent on the assumption that we all recently stepped off a plane from Asia. I'm from Ohio. Back off.
I don't know what the world is coming to when we can't all gather round and have a nice hearty laugh at an ethnic joke. Sure, Latin Expressions featured Latino pride, sometimes at the expense of white people. Maybe it went too far, I'm obviously one of the least qualified people to judge that, but isn't it better than the alternative of pretending we're all the same? It's funny because it's true – when someone has a "you don't understand us" attitude they're usually right. I don't know what it's like to feel uncomfortable around white people, like one of my Mexican friends who expressed this sentiment to me, so I really don't understand her situation. Let people have their harmless fun.
So the next time someone makes an inappropriate joke about your pocket abacus, it's probably not because they're prejudiced or because they're trying to build up more barriers between ethnic groups. There's already underlying differences in place, so commenting on them doesn't mean you created them, it means you can acknowledge and maybe celebrate them. Discrimination is not funny; ridiculous stereotypes about minorities are.
But seriously, guys … stop making me keep score.

text: [JURIST] A four-hour prison riot in Los Angeles County on Saturday was the result of racial tension, county Sheriff Lee Baca [official website] said Sunday. The riot, in which 2,000 inmates participated, took place at the maximum-security North County Correctional Facility [official website] in Castaic, California between black and Latino prisoners. One inmate was killed and over 40 injured. Officials cited retaliation for the stabbing of a Latino man at a downtown jail as the possible catalyst. The issue of racial tension in the California prison system came before the US Supreme Court [official website] in 2005, when the Court ruled in Johnson v. California [opinion] that state prisons cannot temporarily segregate inmates by race [JURIST report], except in the most extraordinary circumstances. The California Department of Corrections [official website] had previously had an unwritten policy of racially segregating inmates to prevent gang violence. Baca told reporters Sunday that he had re-segregated 200 prisoners to forestall further trouble, a move which drew support from community leaders [KABC report]. The Los Angeles Times has more.

For our son's 12th birthday we went out for ice cream and decided to treat Bella to the puppy delight. Basically it is frozen yogurt with three dog bones mixed in. She loved it, minus the store bought dog bones. Bella is very picky since I create recipes homemade for her. So far I've made…
Banana, apple, peanut butter dog bones & sweet potato, pumpkin with flax dog treats. Don't ever try to give my dog a store bought bone, she'll refuse it.
Anyways, my husband mentioned buying Frosty Paws for her but I just couldn't do it. Then, I saw Yoghund on the shelf, which is real frozen yogurt for dogs. I took a quick peak at the ingredient label and knew I would be making instead of buying because they were almost $6 for four cups, ouch. So that very day I came home and attempted to make a homemade frozen yogurt for dogs and I have to say Bella is in love.
This is a super simple dog ice cream that they'll devour in seconds. Perfect for a quick cool down and treat during these hot summer months.
I decided to cut 16 oz. Dixie cold cups down to the bottom line to make these so she would have a cup without the mess.
They work perfectly. If your dog will eat the paper cup these are made in, it easily tears so you can place in a large dish for your pooch.
This frozen yogurt dog treat is simple, tastes good and super healthy with only 3 ingredients. Remember, these are treats and made with real food. Always test foods with your pet or talk to your vet before giving.
Will you be making?
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 small or medium ripe bananas-mashed
- 2 tablespoon natural creamy peanut butter
- If using the Dixie cups for an individual cup, cut 6 cups.
- Place all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Place in cup molds.
- Freeze 3-4 hours.
- Give to dog out of the paper cup, or tear and place in a bowl for dog to enjoy.

Manager Bruce Bochy said he would mix it up, and he has. Here is the lineup that will face Bronson Arroyo and try to get Tim Lincecum a win in his 2014 debut:
- Pagan CF
- Blanco LF
- Belt 1B
- Sandoval 3B
- Pence RF
- Sanchez C
- Crawford SS
- Adrianza 2B
- Lincecum P
Great note from the Giants PR staff. The last pitcher before Tim Hudson to strike out seven and not allow a run in his Giants debut was Juan Marichal, who one-hit the Phillies with 12 strikeouts in his 1960 big-league debut.

I have been upgrading my .308 to shoot 1500 yards and wanted to tell you about it.
I got a Model 70 Stealth .308 about 6 years ago and had a small 2.5-10X44 Mil-Dot Tasco scope and 20 moa base on it that did very well out to 1000 yards, It had problems fogging up when it sat out in the frost or rain and the target turrets were the sort of mushy, off the hash mark type, the scope served well and took a beating because I really didn't care about it much .As I started shooting beyond 1000 with my big guns witch are a lot more suitable for this, I kept thinking why cant I do this with my .308 ? I would dial up to the 1000 yd setting and then hold over using the mils to reach 1500.
About 3 month ago I decided to upgrade the .308 with a 25moa base that I made from a weaver gunsmith bar stock , Burris XTR low rings SS10X42 rear focus and a new paint job with the gripping surfaces covered with black wrinkle paint. I set the trigger at 2 pounds, installed a oversized bolt knob and put a nice recoil pad on .
This gun is not anything special, it is the Model 70 Stealth .308 and it has the factory 1-12 twist 26" heavy barrel. I paid about 650 dollars for the gun and about 1100 for the total set up.
I knew I needed around 75moa adjustment from the 100yd zero to reach 1500yds.
When I say moa I am talking in inches not the 1.047".
The SS 10X has almost that when centered but with a 25moa base it would keep the internal springs from being compressed too far.
The ammo I am using is reloaded 168gr Amax bullets with CCI BR primers, 44gr of Varget, Winchester brass at just
at just over 2700 fps.
Even though I have had many ˝ " groups , this gun typically shoots around ľ" to 7/8" groups at 100 so as you can see it is about average with most off the shelf heavy barrel 308 rifles.
The target I built is about 4 foot by 5 foot tall cardboard with a big 18" red dot painted on it.
I have to shoot early in the morning as the sun is coming up because the air is very calm almost stagnant until about 8am after that the 168 is effected by the wind too much to make accurate hits.
I have found that it is kind of hard to find a good place to shoot 1500yds .
Currently trips to the range have been cold and muddy, Just walking around I sink a couple of inches into the mud and the little road around the range that I use to get to the 1500 mark is in very bad condition so I have to use 4 wheel drive just to set up the target.
During my first 1500yd test with the new scope I shot 10 rounds with the elevation set up 70moa, all of the bullets hit in the mud about 10 feet in front of the target. I decided to call it a day and try 74 moa next trip out.
My second trip out, I set the SS up 74 moa and fired 12 rounds at the target, 5 of them I aimed low at the bottom of the target and the rest I aimed directly at the top of the big red dot. Out of the 12 fired 5 of them hit just right of the 18"dot and 3 of the low ones hit in front of the target and ricocheted into the target sideways.
As I continue my testing or make changes I will post my updates .
What a great hobby!

Testing has been tough lately due to the small snow storms and all the high winds but I did make it out for some more testing this morning. I got out their about 5:45am, Their was a pretty good wind between 15-35 depending on gust and a couple inches of new snow that was drifting across the road, my trucks temperature reading showed it to be 22 degrees.
I had to duct tape the target to a near by cedar post at 1470yds just to keep it from blowing down.
The air was kind of hazy with snow but I could still see the target when I got back to the bench and the gusting had settled to about 10-15 mph during shooting.
I set the SS up 74moa even though I had moved back the target 30yds because most of the wind was coming toward me with a slight leftward push.
I fired my first shot and waited the what seems like two point something seconds it takes for the bullet to get their and to my surprise I could see the snow/dirt kick up high and about 1.5 mils left of my target.
I fired 3 more rounds in the same place just to make sure I had my wind and elevation estimated correctly.
I dialed down to 72.5 moa , held 1.5 moa right of the target and fired 10 shots as steadily as I could.
When I fired the 10 rounds I could not see any snow/dirt kick up so I thought I was right on target but when I drove over to check it out I could see that only 1 bullet hit the target breaking the top of the wooden tripod leg off, the rest hit in a cluster about ˝ mil left of the target. If I would have held 2 mils into the wind I probably would have had at least 8 on target instead of in the snow. I will have to continue testing on better days.
I updated this new pic at 1500yds so you can get an idea of how big the target looks through the scope.
What a great hobby!

This may be interesting to some of you! During my testing I dug up a bullet that had impacted in soft dirt/mud at about 1512yds. I weighed them on my Lyman DPS , I got 168.3gr on the new bullet and 166.5gr on the fired bullet. Other than dings all that seems to be missing is the little red point.
What a great hobby!

maybe you need a 20x ss :D i can barely see the target as it is and i wonder how you can even shoot at it with 10x. i have a custom rem 700 308 toped with a Mark 4 and shoots .4" moa consistantly with hand loads and .5" match ammo and have only had the chance to shoot out to 500 yards. My father owns 700 acres of farm land in west texas so i will try to shoot 1000 and 1500 yards. I have tried to shoot out to 1500 yards with a 50 BMG rental but only shot 15 rounds. The rounds were so damn expensive... And no i didnt hit the car(target).
Ps Keep us posted.. We Love High Resolution Pictures : )

I have learned and developed my shooting skills with a 10X for so long that I am use to using 10X and a 20X would allow me to see the target better at 1500 but most of my actual critter hunting is done within 500 yards and for me 10X is plenty even out to 1000 yds.
I have a SS16X on my .50BMG that does good even at 2000 yds and the XOTIC I have on my .338rum is set on 10X almost all the time, It is just my preference.
I may try the XOTIC on this gun just to see if group size improves but if I make the change I will keep you all informed.
What MK4 is it ?

Posts Tagged 'college inside tips'
Your Questions Answered By The People In College Admissions
You have asked us a lot of questions about the college search, the college experience and inside tips for succeeding at both. And now we're getting you honest answers to questions you've posed straight from the source–deans of admission.
We'll be doing a series of questions with different people involved in college admission–THE people who actually look over your application and decide if you're a candidate. So if you have a question you want answered, ASK! Ask on our Facebook page, Twitter, or in the comment section below.
In today's post, Director of Admission at University of Pittsburgh – Bradford, Alexander Nazemetz, has taken the time to answer five of your questions from his personal experience at Pitt – Bradford.
1) What do you wish you would see more of in student applications?
Students need to take the time to actually sit down and fill out a college application with their full attention! Turn off the TV, put down the Ipod, the smartphone and concentrate on what you are doing! So many students fill out applications and leave information out – skip questions that are critical in completing their files and even include information in statements from OTHER universities they plan on applying to. Concentration and attention to detail is most important. This could very well be their first impression on an admissions officer or an Admissions Committee. Following directions is key!
2) Can you tell when a student is embellishing his or her accomplishments?
Most admissions officers or admissions committees can tell when a student is putting more information than is really necessary into personal statements or lists of accomplishments. The details speak for themselves really. Be honest with what you have done (or what you haven't done) or – more importantly sometimes – what you WANT to accomplish by attending college. Students might be amazed at how far information like this goes with a counselor or a committee.
3) Are you aware of any special scholarships at your school that are extremely unique?
Pitt-Bradford has made a commitment to our students to enable affordability in these tough economic times. Our merit-based scholarships (Panther Scholarhips) are designed to help students afford a Pitt education and range from $2,000 to $11,500. We have scholarships available for in-state or out-of-state students to help defray costs. Our endowed scholarship program is available to continuing students (sophomores forward) to help keep their financial needs in check as tuition/room/board charges generally tend to increase.
4) What type of students is attracted to the University of Pittsburgh – Bradford and what type of student are you looking to admit?
Generally, well-rounded and academic students thrive at Pitt-Bradford. Students who not only have done decently in school but have also had a fulfilling social life – sports, clubs, organizations, jobs – these are the types of students we look for because they are solid academic students. They have time-management skills already built into their lifestyle and more and more of these students who come to Pitt-Bradford are successful graduates!
Our average students enroll with 'B' averages (80-85/100) with SATs averaging around 1000 (Math/Critical Reading scores only). Our average ACT score is 20.
5) What have you learned about college-bound students and the admissions process so far this year?
The trend seems to be that students are applying later and are more cautious on where and what they are applying for. We stress to all interested students that applying early has several benefits. First, your responsibilities are completed: You've selected the colleges you are interested in, applied to them and completed all the paperwork. Next step is to VISIT them! Very important. Second, the earlier you apply, the more opportunities for financial benefits could be available to you. Remember that some scholarships are available on a limited basis (the first-come, first-served rule). Thirdly – many colleges have this same train of thought regarding housing assignments – priority goes to those who have made decisions by deadlines. Students need to research EACH school they plan on applying to for application deadlines – scholarship deadlines, financial aid priority dates and deposit deadlines. Each college is different with very few having the same deadline dates. It's critical to understand each.

Survey Says Clergy Have Highest Job Satisfaction
If you want to be rich, get an MBA. If you want to be happy, go for an M.Div.
Members of the clergy rank highest in job satisfaction, according to a report released April 17 by the National Opinion Research Center at the University of Chicago. More than 87 percent of clergy said they were satisfied with their jobs, followed by firefighters (80 percent) and physical therapists (78 percent).
Cynthia Lindner, directory of ministry studies at the university's divinity school, said that in her opinion the findings rang true. People come to the ministerial field with no expectation of getting rich and every expectation of being able to make some difference in the world, she said.
"People are not going into the profession out of some sense of 'I want a lot of power and prestige,'" she said. "Most of all my students would say, 'We want to help heal the world.'"
Because work plays such an important role in people's lives, workers who are more satisfied also tend to be happier. So clergy also topped the list as happiest, with 67 percent of them describing themselves as generally happy.
Tom W. Smith, director of the General Social Survey at the research center, said he was surprised that clergy led the list. …

Welcome to our school website and indeed our school. Slyne-with-Hest St Luke's CE Primary School is a Church of England primary school situated in the lovely village of Hest Bank, approx 3 miles north of Lancaster. We have 237 children on roll, aged 4 to 11.
The school prides itself on its caring and happy atmosphere. Children entering Slyne-with-Hest St. Luke's will grow together in a school that sets high standards. We aim to provide a stimulating, happy and caring Christian environment, in which you will feel confident and where your children will flourish. The Diocesan Inspection of September 2016, which graded the school outstanding in all areas, said : 'The school, through its distinctive Christian character, is outstanding at meeting the needs of all learners.'
Our dedicated and professional staff promote self confidence, self assurance and self discipline, but take care to couple this with excellent teaching, continuous monitoring of progress and consultation between pupils, teachers and parents. This is why our school has a well earned reputation for fulfilling the potential of our pupils to the full, whilst fully encouraging and nurturing those who develop less quickly.
The Ofsted inspection of May 2016 said: 'Pupils were unanimous in saying they feel very safe and well cared for in school', 'Since the previous inspection, pupils' progress has continued to accelerate across the school. In 2015, all pupils made at least expected progress by the end of key stage 2. Attainment in both key stages 1 and 2 was above that expected for pupils of a similar age' and 'Your school's self-evaluation and school development plans are of excellent quality and you use them effectively to ensure that everyone in school is clear about the direction in which they are heading'.There is a link to the full report via the school information tab.
I would be delighted to show you around - please contact me using one of the contacts on the home page.

Pacelab APD Supports the Energy Optimized Aircraft
PACE America teams with Georgia Tech's ASDL to deliver important architectural systems development and optimization capability for the aerospace industry
Pacelab APD's core functionality was easily extended by the GA Tech research team to include customized functionality for the design of aircraft systems architectures. The ASDL Grand Challenge project focused on improved methodologies for modeling the installation and use of more electric components within commercial airframe sub-systems and analyzing the impact on weight, energy use, and vehicle performance. The project was in direct support of the AIAA program committee for the Energy Optimized Aircraft and Equipment Systems (EOASys).
EOASys is also complementary to the Air Force's Integrated Vehicle Energy Technology (INVENT) program whose mission is minimize energy and maximize mission capability through the use of more advanced hybrid electric systems.
"With commitment and excellent local support from PACE America, the Pacelab APD software has enabled our graduate research team to bring forward a unique and much needed capability for rapidly modeling air vehicle sub-system architectures in the power systems domain," states Dr. Dimitri Mavris, ASDL director and Boeing Professor of Advanced Aerospace Systems Analysis in Georgia Tech's School of Aerospace Engineering.
"This has tremendous potential to help our aerospace customers to quickly evaluate sub-system architectures that affect things like energy flow and waste throughout the vehicle. Additionally, this capability will drive a deeper understanding of how placement of critical components within candidate architectures can be optimized with regards to thermal issues, sizing, mission performance or failure modes in conventional or non-vehicles like UAS," states Glenn Reis, a PACE America executive.
In a continuing effort to raise industry awareness of this important capability, PACE America will be presenting a series of technical webinars focusing on systems architectural development and its application for commercial aircraft and unmanned aerial systems (UAS). As part of this series, guest speaker John Nairus, Chief Engineer of the Air Force Research Laboratory's Propulsion Directorate, will present AFRL's INVENT program for the development of the energy optimized aircraft. Interested parties can register on the company website http://www.pacelab.com.

TGIF!!! the weekend is finally here!
So my obsession with white continues...I just feel very fresh whenever am wearing white, it's just so clean!...I have been looking for a white blazer for a while now so when Gracella of FlexyCollections told me she has one, I told her to go with it to the office and I planned my yesterday outfit with it in mind, I picked it up at her office in the morning and wore it to work hahaha...it's very light with a hint of peplum and can be work as a blouse since it doesn't have a collar...I also got a cream blazer that am wearing today so my blazer shopping list is almost complete, just need one more white with a collar, a blue, yellow, green and red one :D
so I left home wearing just the blouse and the skirt and picked the blazer on my way to work. The blouse was gifted to me by a friend and Collegue (Thanks Beatrice) I love the soft rose pink colour and the contrasting cream colar, the tiny gold buttons and its double breast pockets.

5 out of 5 stars
Short stories, Spanish folklore
Originally posted on Amazon UK HERE on 10 October 2014
On Amazon.com HERE
I've read the original three stories, and I loved them, because of these things: a) Jenny Twist is a terrific storyteller, one of those true naturals, b) they're not predictable, which to me is the absolute deal breaker with short stories. The second has a particularly 'What the??!!' ending...! c) It's not some made-up thing - the Mantequero is a piece of genuine rural Spanish folklore and d) They convey the atmosphere of a Spanish mountain village so well.
There are also two additional stories in it, which I haven't read yet but will do so shortly - if they are up to Jenny's usual standard I shall want to come back and give this review another star - except we can't give six stars, can we?
Very highly recommended - and the collection is now in paperback, which I shall be getting for some friends for Christmas presents!

Pat from WHYGAVS tipped this gem off on Twitter after the draft. This is awesome.
1) How do you chant that after he already hit a home run
2) That might have went 700 feet
3) Pedro might have stomped that plate 10 feet into the ground when he "touched" it
4) His teammates probably told him about it as he was walking back
5) The best part is that Pedro heard that chant and just figured that he would hit a home run. It might not have landed yet

Born Lucie Silverman and is Jewish.http://www.somethingjewish.co.uk/articles/1468_sj_super_7.htm Lucie left school at sixteen, where she became a backing vocalist for ex-Take That vocalist Gary Barlow and singer-songwriter Judie Tzuke. In 2000 Lucie recorded her album "Forget Me Not" - with tracks including the single "It's Too Late". This song entered the charts with a low position, and Lucie was subsequently dropped from her record label.
She then went on to write songs for other artists including Sarah Whatmore, Gareth Gates, Rachel Stevens and Liberty X.
Her boyfriend is the Leicester and Ireland rugby player Geordan Murphy.
In 2003, Lucie was signed to Mercury Records, and given a long time to write her debut album, "Breathe In."

AbstractThe response of an amperometric biosensor at mixed enzyme kinetics anddiffusion limitations was modelled digitally in the case of substrate inhibition. Digitalsimulations were carried out using a finite difference technique. Calculations showedcomplex kinetics of biosensor response. At low enzyme activity and substrate concentration(S0), the response of the sensor looks like it is limited by a simple substrate diffusion. Atsubstrate concentration comparable to the Michaelis-Menten constant (KM), the responsechange shows a maximal value. A sharp response change was indicated at high enzymeactivity and high (4.9 > S0/KM > 4.5) substrate concentration. This was explained by multiconcentrationof substrate generation inside the enzyme layer. This conclusion wasconfirmed by the analytical solution of the simplified biosensor model with externaldiffusion limitation at steady-state conditions. The complex kinetics of response changeproduces different calibration graphs for biosensor response at transition and steady state. View Full-Text

|Financial Incentives for Healthy Eating: A Randomized Pilot Study
|Brief Summary
Interventions to increase the consumption of fruits and vegetables to date have shown promise, but many have limited public health impact due to the lack of scalability of their designs. The investigators propose to examine the effectiveness and feasibility of an intervention for promoting increased consumption of fruits and vegetables by incentivizing their purchase. Collaborating with UpLift Solutions, the investigators will enroll shoppers in this Randomized Clinical Trial using the research infrastructure called the Way to Health platform. (called the Way to Health platform, and approved as a Prime protocol by the IRB as reference # 811860).
Hypothesis: providing patients with financial incentives can promote healthier behaviors (e.g.: eating healthier).
|Detailed Description
This is a pilot study under the IRB-approved umbrella protocol number 811698 named Penn-CMU Roybal Center on Behavioral Economics and Health. Interventions to increase the consumption of fruits and vegetables to date have shown promise, but many have limited public health impact due to the lack of scalability of their designs. Many interventions only provided information on what constitutes healthier eating or provided discounts on specific products.Other interventions were limited in generalizability due to utilization of very specific eating establishments or vending machines.By contrast, the investigators propose to examine the effectiveness and feasibility of an intervention for promoting increased consumption of fruits and vegetables by incentivizing their purchase where the overwhelming majority of food is sold: grocery stores. Collaborating with Brown's Super Stores and UpLift Solutions leadership, the investigators will enroll shoppers in this Randomized Clinical Trial using our the web-based research infrastructure called the Way to Health platform.
The primary aim of this project is to generate preliminary evidence of the efficacy of two financial incentive structures in promoting the allocation of a greater percentage of ones grocery budget to the purchase of fresh fruits and vegetables (hereafter, produce). Secondary aims are to evaluate these interventions effects on (1) self-reported consumption of produce, and (2) weight. Salutary goals of this pilot study are to document feasibility of using Price Plus cards for incentive studies, and to expand the functionality of the Way Health platform.
