We had played in a number of home made dungeons prior to buying Palace.
This was the first dungeon I completed.
Today I will be playing it again, this time as the DM.
A new generation of players will test their blades against the hordes of chaos.
Oh yeah...I am beefing it up to a level 10 dungeon. The Orks will become Ork Warlords and the Ogre an Ogre Mage, the Vampire roses and archer bushes will get x10 hit points and attacks that do 3x the damage. The Evil Cleric will be a level 12 cleric and the Werewolf am replacing with a level 10 Magic usser who is the girlfriend of the evil cleric. The Illusionary gaurds on the Gem will be level 8-12 warriors in +4 plate with +3 Flame Brands they will be real of course... All the various monsters in the dungeon will be properly beefed up and some traps added to tax the thief.
This should be a fun game.Cynthia Leehttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-47079681685885275352009-12-11T13:16:50.077-05:002009-12-11T13:16:50.077-05:00I'm really fond of the map of the "land o...I'm really fond of the map of the "land of the Princes of Glantri".

WCAX.COM Local Vermont News, Weather and Sports-
An ordinary family outing turned to terror after a huge sinkhole opened up in the middle of a mountain road and swallowed two cars.
Brian and Angel Richardson were driving in Lowell, Vermont, US, early on Saturday morning after picking up their son, Alex, from the airport, when the roadway caved in.
Reports said their two vehicles fell five feet straight down, but the Richardsons managed to climb out to safety just before the ground gave way and their cars sank another 20 feet.
Once the parents and their son were back on solid ground, water, rocks and dirt showered down on their stranded vehicles and the sinkhole deepened.
The sinkhole was apparently caused by a flash flood, which was too violent for a five-foot plastic culvert installed in the road last year to handle.
As a result, the conduit uprooted and the asphalt on top gave way, opening into a sinkhole 30 feet wide and about 25 feet deep.
Angel didn't see the washout because it was dark and raining at the time, and drove into the abyss that opened in the middle of the roadway.
Her husband managed to turn the wheel of his car just in time so it wouldn't land on top of his wife's.
Incredibly, the family managed to escape with little more than bumps, bruises and a broken arm.

Shane Victorino reached base just once in Wednesday night's run-scoring bonanza at Fenway Park, but he made up for it by flashing some leather. With two outs in the the top of the fourth — before the game devolved into a home run derby — Victorino went soaring into the seats along the first base line to retire Tigers leadoff man Austin Jackson and strand runners on the corners. The right fielder didn't just help out Red Sox starter Ryan Dempster, though. His acrobatic catch caused one fan to lose control of her cell phone, which Victorino picked up off the dirt and handed back to the very grateful spectator.

Wessels follows in dad's footsteps ... almost
He may not bat like his father but he has the same nomadic itch. Australian-born Riki Wessels is one of few overseas players who dabbles in all forms of the game in Zimbabwe, not just Twenty20. Last weekend he made history by scoring a century in both innings of a first-class game for the Mid West Rhinos against the Matabeleland Tuskers.
Kepler and Ricky are the seventh father-son pair in the world to both score a hundred in each innings of a first-class game, and the second South African dad and son to do so, after Jimmy and Stephen Cook. Riki clearly has the same hunger for runs as his dad, but he certainly didn't learn his batting style from the old man. While Wessels Snr. was usually cramped and trusted his eye rather than his footwork, his son is light on his feet and an adventurous boundary hitter. He also has a substantially healthier strike rate than dad. Kepler's Test strike rate was 46.48 and Riki's first-class equivalent is 63.48.

Is SONKO planning to ditch Jubilee and be KIDERO's no. 2? Here is the stunning truthNews, Politics 00:00
... been drawn to a story appearing in one gutter press alleging that am warming up to the Nairobi Governor Dr. Evans Kidero," said Sonko.
"I wish to categorically state here and now that I have never, am not and will never support Dr. Kidero who is my competitor for the 2017 Gubernatorial race."
"My loyalty to Jubilee Party and H.E President Uhuru Kenyatta and his Government remains unshakable and unrivalled," he added.
He said his meeting with Kidero was a mere coincidence because it was never planned.
"The meeting was to build consensus on the Kenya Roads Bill (National Assembly Bill No 26 of 2015) and was attended by Governors and Senators among other top Government officials."
"It was during the lunch break that Dr. Kidero joined me and Hon. Simon Mbugua for lunch and nothing political was discussed," he said.

There is an investigation taking place into who leaked the report on the active investigation of Assistant Public Defender Tony Henderson? The official report given the daily newspaper and IN had all the narrative redacted, including the alleged victim's name.
There is a different copy of the report placed on the website LEOaffairs.com, which allows anonymous posting. That version had the narrative, but had redacted all the names, including the officer taking the report.
I did speak with on law enforcement officer and was told the Escambia County Sheriff's Office, State Attorney's Office and Pensacola Police Department all have computer access to the reports. So the leak had to come from within law enforcement or the judicial system.
The impact of releasing a report on the investigation is still unknown. The victim had a right to believe her identity would be protected, at least until any charges were filed against Henderson.
Was Henderson, his boss – James Owens, or the victim the target of the person who leaked the report?

Harry tells us how being with his wife Denise as she died of chronic progressive multiple sclerosis 12 years ago motivated him to give all that he could to improve the lives anyone he could: even people he didn't know.

Computer logs show that Ms. Yeti was indeed entering grades on the night that GoodoldWooz disappeared, and thus did not commit the crime. But someone did… and who?? We're getting closer and closer to solving this Pretty Little Mystery!
Ms. Yeti, the newest addition to Woozworld High, is a sweet young teacher who just wants her students to love history as much as she does. She's worked at a couple of schools, but she really wants to stay at Woozworld High. "Woozworld history is fascinating!" exclaims Ms. Yeti as she sits down for a coffee with LilyWooz, our intrepid interviewer. "But can you believe how many young Woozens these days don't know about the Nationz??" Ms. Yeti wears her usual patterned pencil skirt, chunky jewelry, bright tights and an equally bright smile.
LilyWooz: Hello, Ms. Yeti. Thank you for taking the time to meet with me to discuss the strange eventz of GoodOldWooz's disappearance.
Ms. Yeti: Of course! Such a tragic event. Everyone knows I loved GoodOldWooz like a grandfather. He was so kind to me when I was a new teacher at Woozworld High. And I can't say that about all of the staff members…! Though I can't say that's unusual. A lot of teachers find someone young and enthusiastic like me intimidating.
LW: Could you tell our readers what you know about the mysterious event?
MY: Certainly. I was in my office grading papers all evening, so I didn't know anything had gone wrong until Janitor Beex ran – well, stumped – into my classroom, shouting that GoodOld's lab was a mess and the man himself was nowhere to be found!
LW: So you didn't know what GoodOldWooz had been doing until Janitor Beex told you he was missing?
MY: Well, I knew he had been working long and hard on his new time-traveling device. He wouldn't stop bursting into my classroom during my lectures to update us all on his progress. It got a little annoying, frankly. When my students heard him, they stopped paying attention to me!
LW: Hmm. Do you think GoodOld's experiments bothered any of the other teachers?
MY: I wouldn't know, I don't talk much to the other teachers.
LW: I saw on your teaching record that you've worked at a couple of other schools before Woozworld High, but only for a short time at each one.
MY: Excuse me, who do you think you are looking at my file?! I think we should leave my previous schools out of this discussion!
LW: But why did you leave all of them in such a hurry?
MY: All I want to do is teach Woozens how important history is! Is that such a crime?! Just because there's rumours going around, DOESN'T MEAN I DID ANYTHING!!
LW: Whoa, whoa, let's calm down. All we need is any information you might have on the whereabouts of GoodOldWooz.
MY: It seems to me that GoodOldWooz has been added to the illustrious history of Woozworld High.
LW: That's all you have to say?
MY: Yes! I don't know anything else! Why don't you go ask Janitor Beex and leave me alone. I have to finish entering these grades!

One thing I'd like to have added to the nice package overviews at http://cdd.alioth.debian.org/science/tasks/chemistry.html etc. is a canonical reference which should be given in scientific papers using that package.
I don't think this belongs into the package description, but maybe as a X-* field in debian/control post-lenny.
IMHO this is a reasonable solution because it enables a clear way to obtain this information in a structured manner.
For lenny, we could add a field/comment in some svn repository (not sure from what sources those nice overviews are generated).
Well, a hackish solution would be to add this field to the tasks files. That would be quite easy to implement but is available only in the tasks overview and nowhere else (well, in principle there is a chance to move the information to some place if you are using the meta packages and we somehow propagate the information from the tasks files to the binary meta package to a defined place this is also somehow possible but not really nice (= hackish) and I would wait with implementing this until the cdd-dev tools are rewritten (which has to be done anyway because of an Arch: all/any issue which is completely unrelated to this topic here but it needs a rewrite anyway and we could regard such kind of stuff easily then). I could imagine for example inside task bio: Depends: clustalw References: "Clustal W and Clustal X version 2.0", Larkin M., et al. Bioinformatics 2007 23(21):2947-2948 which might be moved below the package descriptions as "References". You could use the normal formatting of debian/control files with item lists. The drawback of this easily to implement hack I see immediately that you have to remove the reference from the description first (=reupload the binary) because mentionien references twice locks just stupid. So we have to touch the package anyway (in case a reference is mentioned in the description). That's why I would not really prefer this which has several other drawbacks. IMHO the only reasonable case where we could just test this reference feature is to add references in the suggested structured way to prospective packages which do not have any information in Debian Packages files.
Again, for MPQC, this would be DOI:10.1088/1742-6596/46/1/031, DOI:10.1002/jcc.20815
Same as above for References. Kind regards Andreas. -- http://fam-tille.de

The new look replaces designs implemented in 2004 for the college and its schools of Hearing, Speech and Language Sciences; Human and Consumer Sciences; Nursing; Physical Therapy; Recreation and Sport Sciences; and Public Health Sciences and Professions (formerly Health Sciences).
Several unique features characterize the new design:
Inventure Technologies Inc., a firm owned by Ohio University alumnus Clay Burnett, designed the sites. Comments or suggestions can be e-mailed to college Communication Director Jody Grenert at firstname.lastname@example.com.
The College of Health and Human Services marks its 30th anniversary this academic year. Founded in 1979, it is Ohio University's youngest and second-largest college. Along with unveiling its revamped Web presence, the college plans other observances to mark the anniversary, including an alumni event in the spring.

Let's just get one thing straight. My seven-year-old daughter does NOT like pink. Don't just think she likes pink 'cause she's a girl and don't think that just because she's sitting in the audience of the Vital Theatre Company's long-running hit PINKALICIOUS, recently extended through March 11 at the Vinyard's Dimson Theatre, that it means she's some "pinky" kind of girl. She went through her pink phase, but now she's all about yellow. Got it?
But once upon a time, my little girl wore only pink. And much like the heroin of this adorable, bright-colored musical, my daughter began to O.D. on the hue. Based on the popular children's book of the same name by Elizabeth Kann and Victoria Kann, PINKALICIOUS the musical tells the story of a little girl who ate too many pink cupcakesand came down with a case of "Pinkatitus" which I believe is the theatrical equivalent to O.D.'ing.
With the help of her family doctor and a lot of self-will, Pinkalicious must learn to eat her greensand take pink with moderation, a lesson which we can all learn from. (You know who you are). Meanwhile her brother Peter, who is largely overshadowed by his sister's large personality, has a forbidden love of the color which has always been "just for girls". In an adorably hopeful song called "I Got the Pink Blues", Peter proclaims his love of the color pink despite his father's stern orders not to be a pink-loving boy. Oh, honey. It really does get better.
For those who don't absorb the lesson about taking things in moderation without losing yourself and your own uniqueness, the show is a fun way to spend 55 minutes with any three through eight-year-old. I'm sure there are some calm and focussed two-year-old kids out there who could sit through it and enjoy, just none that currently live in my house.
My daughter and her friend (also seven), loved the colorful, economically-designed sets and the hilarious antics of the show's slightly hyper heroin. I liked our post-show discussion about pink, how it's not really just for girls, and how it's important to know what you like but not to go too crazy about one single thing. I'm hoping my daughter will extend that logic to her iPod Touch obsession but time will tell.
- A whimsical, humorous and colorful musical based on the best-selling book PINKALICIOUS by Elizabeth Kahn and Victoria Kahn.

Ghana goalkeeper Fatau Dauda modest with top form at Nations Cup
Ghana goalkeeper Fatau Dauda has played down his heroics against Cape Verde which sent the Black Stars through to the semi-final of the Africa Cup of Nations.
Dauda was named Man-of-the-Match in Saturday's 2-0 quarter-final win in Port Elizabeth with his breathtaking saves.
The AshantiGold gloves man-making his second Nations Cup appearance-has conceded two goals (all in one match) after four matches.
The 27-year-old has justified why he deserves to be Ghana's number one but he wants to be modest with his tournament form.
"I will say Allahamdullahi (Praise be to God), Allahamdullahi (Praise be to God), Allahamdullahi (Praise be to God)," Dauda replied to a question on whether he has secured the number 1 position.
"It was a difficult one. You know we have very three good goalkeepers in the team and we have a lot of goalkeepers in the country both foreign and local.
"That is why we have the technical team. They chose me to start the game of this tournament.
"Not that am good than the other two goalkeepers but in football, everything is about selection and so I have to do my best to pay back the faith of the coach."
Dauda was an unused goalkeeper in Ghana's squad at the 2008 Africa Cup of Nations on home soil.

Dr Who says:February 03, 2013 06:50 amDauda,your performance was A so keep it up.No team can win AFCON with a shambolic goalkeeper so that was why some of us kept druming about your performance after watching you against a friendly with Cape Verde & Egypt.Little did we know that you were going to save us from the jaws of the Blue Sharks.You made Ghana proud....you made AA proud....and you made a case for local players....congratulations and keep it up.
Sergeant says:February 03, 2013 07:14 amWakaso,Dauda,Adomah,Rabiu,Atsu and Asante are the potential legacies of AA that we will one day talk about.A foreign coach does not build a team but a local one does and that is why countries like Cameroun,Egypt and South African are struggling because they have given the team building exercise to foreign coaches.Nigeria were smart on this else they wouldnt have been at AFCON 2013.I commend our football management for smoothly finding replacements to our Stephen Appiahs,John Mensahs,Matthew Amoahs without a dip in form of the Black Stars.
Ashantman says:February 03, 2013 10:14 amWe are creating Jobs for our Local folks by employing Local or native coaches
Ashantman says:February 03, 2013 10:32 amAdomah has never benen impressive in any much in any match . Mayele has to wake-up and start Solo Asante.
Viper says:February 03, 2013 05:41 pmGreat point there about local coaches building a team..
asante isaac says:February 03, 2013 07:14 pmsolomon asante,dauda,atsu we pray for u guys to won the cup for us

MANILA, Philippines (AP) — Differences within the Association of Southeast Asian Nations prevented the 10-nation bloc from issuing a tough statement on territorial feuds in the South China Sea after a meeting hosted by China this week, a Philippine official said Thursday.
Department of Foreign Affairs spokesman Charles Jose told reporters the ASEAN foreign ministers' failure to issue a joint statement after discussing the disputes with their Chinese counterpart, Wang Yi, prompted half of the bloc's member states to issue their own individual statements.
All the ministers initially agreed on the text of the joint statement, Jose said, but some may have changed their mind later, preventing it from being issued publicly.
"This is actually an ASEAN media statement that was agreed on but somewhere along the way, after the meeting ended and most of foreign ministers left, it was not issued officially," Jose said.
In the statement, the foreign ministers expressed "serious concerns over recent and ongoing developments, which have eroded trust and confidence, increased tensions and which may have the potential to undermine peace, security and stability in the South China Sea."
China has opposed such language, which could provide the United States and its allies added justification to intervene in the disputes.
The disunity in ASEAN underscores the difficulty of resolving the disputes, which analysts fear could spark an armed confrontation in one of the world's busiest sea lanes.
Founded in 1967, ASEAN decides by consensus, meaning just one member state can stall agreement on any issue. It consists of a diverse collection of governments, including U.S.-allied democracies and Chinese-aligned authoritarian states.
Four of its members — Brunei, Malaysia, the Philippines and Vietnam — are locked in the territorial disputes with China and Taiwan. ASEAN also includes Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Myanmar, Singapore and Thailand.
After the foreign ministers initially forged an agreement on the statement, Malaysia's Foreign Ministry issued it to reporters, Jose said, suggesting that other member states later withdrew their approval for it to be publicly issued.
A senior Philippine diplomat said Laos, Cambodia and Myanmar withdrew their backing of the joint statement to avoid offending China, which later opposed its official issuance because of a lack of a consensus within ASEAN.
The diplomat spoke on condition of anonymity because of a lack of authority to discuss the sensitive issue with reporters.
Jose said it remains unclear whether the statement will no longer be officially issued, adding that amid the impasse, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore and Vietnam have gone ahead and released their own statements about the closed-door discussions, which took place between Wang and the ASEAN ministers on Monday to Tuesday in the southwestern Chinese city of Kunming.
Asked in Beijing whether China had objected to the statement, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Lu Kang did not answer directly, but said Wednesday that China had been assured that it was not an official ASEAN document and had been retracted.
"If ASEAN wants to officially issue something that represents its stance, it should be agreed upon by all ASEAN members," Lu told reporters, implying a lack of consensus within the grouping.
China has steadfastly argued that the disputes should be negotiated between Beijing and each of its rival claimants, an arrangement that would give it an advantage because of its size and clout, and would effectively shut out the United States, which it has told not to intervene in what it described as Asian disputes.
Washington has declared that the peaceful resolution of the disputes and freedom of navigation and overflight in the crucial waterway are a national interest. It has backed a Philippine move to bring the disputes with China to international arbitration, a legal step that Beijing opposes and has refused to join.
China pressed its opposition to the Philippine arbitration case during the Kunming talks, according to the Philippine diplomat.
The Philippine Department of Foreign Affairs said in a statement Thursday that "when the arbitration case was raised, the Philippines' reply underscored that arbitration is among the legal and diplomatic processes promoting the rule of law in the region and is fully consistent with … the region's efforts to peacefully resolve the disputes in accordance with international law."

Maybe you need to realized the very people who are voting for income redistribution are wealthy. Do you see Obama giving away the proceeds of his book? He has mad several million? Do you see those bastions to the democratic party, who are constantly voting for entitlements that you pay for, giving away their fortune? Income redistribution is done by taxing my hard earned dollars and giving to people who have never worked a day in their lives. Don't talk to me about my generation dying off, so there can be progress. Instead, tell these lazy bums who expect us to support them to get off their butts and get a job!

I remember Ronald Reagan used to say, "A rising tide lifts all boats." and after Jimmy Carter I seriously bought into that.
Sure enough the tide started rising and I was singing his praises. The tide kept going up and up and up and made it all the way to my neck before I stopped and realized, hey, wait a minute;
I've been dog paddling like crazy ever since just to keep my head above water. Most of the people I know have been doing the same.
I loved Ronald Reagen but I have to admit, when he deregulated everything he did nothing more than give a green light to corporate crime and greed.
Those who followed in his footsteps have erased accountability so no one is held responsible for the theft of America, no one except the tax payer.
Now, as a last hurrah of his administration dubya wants to give a trillion dollars to the thieves who have already stole a trillion from us.
It's almost enough to make me vote for Obama, If I didn't already know that he's owned by corporate America just as McCain is.
Still, Ronald Reagan made you feel good while he was screwing you. I don't blame Nancy for marrying him

The trickle down theory is sort of like communism.. They both sound good on paper. Similarly, they both leave it up to humans to oversee the operation.
Communism- a man must completely distribute nation's wealth and resources to everyone. Leaving much room to take for himself.
Trickle Down Theory- a man must use extra revenue to create more jobs.
See a similarity?
Both theories require honesty, something the human population doesn't possess.

AS we have become aware recently the BILLIONAIRES could give a flying crap about AMERICA. YET it seems you are still defending this "logic". I still believe that lowering the rich tax code more---- and more------ and more--------- and more---------- Is absolutely ridiculous.
SNIP: Those "Rich" who build their huge mansions (like the one Biden has) ? OK, so some rich guy can't build a another mansion. What's the diff. Well, ask the carpenters, plumbers, electricians and building suppliers. Ask the multiple companies who design and fabricate all those materials to those suppliers. Ask all of the employees who work at those places, then ask their families.... what's the diff?
OBAMA is for shifting the tax code back to a point that favors the middle class... MANY MORE Americans would benefit from this move...
MORE money, being spent at a faster rate, by more people goes WHERE???
SNIP: Read the above.... it goes back into the economy.... to all the "little people". So you think the rich should pay MORE of the money they earned??? How's about some more facts?: the top 10% of wage earners pay almost 80% of "our" taxes, while the bottom 20% pays NOTHING!
Hell CARTER left office with the lowest national debt in history.
SNIP: Yeah.... and double-digit interest rates, and a country woefullly hampered in it's ability to defend itself.
REGAN and BUSH JR hold the record for the largest debts incurred, in office, in HISTORY.
SNIP: Not true.
BUSH JR has increased spending more than any other president in history.
SNIP: Better reaearch as to where most of the money went, and why.
The most amusing thing is that you used the term "redistribution of wealth."
SNIP: Unfortunately, true; I agree. But look where it started and by whom.
Further more, redistribution of wealth is giving a billionaire a 3.6% line of credit and then charging a person who makes $20,000 a year 18% for the same loan...
SNIP: You really need to look into banking practices and something called fiduciary lending responsibility. Who's more likely to pay back that loan with no problems?
MY generation is liberal - HELL --the kids TEN years younger than myself, make me look like DAVID DUKE.
SNIP: Yes.... and they didn't learn it from intuitive wisdom or by living it.... they were taught that in our failed schools.

Hey Einstein.... this isn't about "perceptions", it's about cold hard facts.
The cold hard facts are that hard working middle class Americans are losing there homes because of not being able to get out of a rising interest rate because of an ARM loan. They cannot get decent paying jobs because the decent paying jobs are in China getting done at slave wages. So they tried to get a house on an ARM loan so they could pay for a house at the same price as an apartment. Most of them are defaulting because of this. How about fixing there rate at something they could afford. Most could get by with 7-8 percent interest. Most of them got into the loan above prime but cannot afford it when it went to over 10-12 percent.
The same people that sold them this BS are the ones being bailed out. Bail out the American families first, its OUR money! Children are being put on the street for an interest rate and low paying jobs.
Most people in mortgage trouble today shouldn't have gotten the loan in the first place. Anyone with a brain wouldn't get an ARM loan to begin with if they did any research on them.
Those jobs went to China because companies here couldn't find young workers with any kind of work ethic or intelligence (thanks, public schools). Those jobs left the country because the companies, in order to compete on the global market, went kicking and screaming to get out from under over-taxation and over-arching government control.
Most people over the past 25 years, and especially the last 10, buy what they "want" instead of what they "need". They don't do the math to see that for every child they have they have to guarantee their wages will go up AT LEAST $2800 per year.

Birnineind History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms
Anglo-Saxon tribes in Britain. It is a result of when they lived in or around the city of Birmingham in Warwickshire. This place-name predates the Domesday Book and is thought by historians to have evolved from the Old English Beornmundingaham, meaning, homestead of the people of Beornmund. [1]CITATION[CLOSE]
Mills, A.D., Dictionary of English Place-Names. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1991. Print. (ISBN 0-19-869156-4) Another source claims that the place name's "etymology is involved in great uncertainty. Dugdale, from its Saxon termination, deduces it from the first Saxon lord; while others assign to it an origin of much higher antiquity, inferring that, with more probability, the first Saxon proprietor took his name from that of the town, which they suppose to have been originally 'Bromwych,' from the quantity of broom formerly growing in the neighbourhood". [2]CITATION[CLOSE]
Lewis, Samuel, A Topographical Dictionary of England. Institute of Historical Research, 1848, Print.
Early Origins of the Birnineind family
Warwickshire. While the family is generally understood to have hailed from this area, we must look to Staffordshire to find the first record of the name, specifically Peter de Bremingeham who was listed there in the Pipe Rolls of 1170. Gilbert de Birmingeham was listed in the Feet of Fines for Lincolnshire in 1271 and John de Burmyngham was listed in Warwickshire in 1333. [3]CITATION[CLOSE]
Reaney, P.H and R.M. Wilson, A Dictionary of English Surnames. London: Routledge, 1991. Print. (ISBN 0-415-05737-X) The place name dates back to the Domesday Book of 1086 when it was first listed as Bermingeham. [4]CITATION[CLOSE]
Williams, Dr Ann. And G.H. Martin, Eds., Domesday Book A Complete Translation. London: Penguin, 1992. Print. (ISBN 0-141-00523-8) The family is just as populous in Ireland as "the noble and warlike family of the Bremichams, earls of Louth, in Ireland were instrumental in assisting Strongbow, Earl of Pembroke, in the conquest of that country. " [2]CITATION[CLOSE]
Lewis, Samuel, A Topographical Dictionary of England. Institute of Historical Research, 1848, Print. Little Barningham in Norfolk was an ancient family seat. "A charter for a market and a fair was granted by Edward I. to Walter de Berningham, who at that time possessed the manor." [2]CITATION[CLOSE]
Lewis, Samuel, A Topographical Dictionary of England. Institute of Historical Research, 1848, Print. William de Bermingham, who attended Edward I. into Gascony, was made prisoner at the siege of Bellegarde in 1297 and his descendant William, who was summoned to parliament by the title of William, Lord Birmingham, in the 1st of Edward III.

Another 301 words (22 lines of text) about their life in Ireland is included in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Migration of the Birnineind family to the New World and Oceana
To escape the unstable social climate in England of this time, many families boarded ships for the New World with the hope of finding land, opportunity, and greater religious and political freedom. Although the voyages were expensive, crowded, and difficult, those families that arrived often found greater opportunities and freedoms than they could have experienced at home. Many of those families went on to make significant contributions to the rapidly developing colonies in which they settled. Early North American records indicate many people bearing the name Birnineind were among those contributors: James Bermingham, Martin, Michael, Richard and William, all arrived in Philadelphia between 1853 and 1878. Bridget Birmingham, Daniel, Gillespie, James, John, Margaret, Mary, Michael, Pat, Thomas, and Biddy, all arrived at the same port between 1849 and 1878..

Posted on 03/31/2014 2:35:34 PM PDT by xzins
Cable TV viewership is declining, local news audiences are growing, and the number of Americans watching the network's evening news broadcasts is vast and stable, according to the latest report from the Pew Research Journalism Project.
Meanwhile, 36 percent of U.S. adults watch news video online. This is about the same audience percentage that gets its news from Facebook or cable news channels, Pew reported. Most of this demographic is comprised of younger people.
CNN, Fox News and MSNBC were all down in prime time viewership though Fox still led the pack.
Some 22.6 million viewers watch the nightly network news broadcasts, with NBC, though in decline, still leading in the ratings. This is far more than Fox's 1.75 million prime time viewers. ABC's "Good Morning America" continues to be out front among the network's morning news shows.
(Excerpt) Read more at newsmax.com ...
I'm not sure if I'm reading the above numbers correctly, but...
Cable news is down and Fox pulls only 1.75 million a night. Traditional news still pulls 23 million a night, and my guess is that's mostly boomers and older. Fox is the largest cable news provider watched.
Take the 4 major cable providers and that means about 3 million get their news off cable. It says Facebook news readers get about the same, and online video gets about the same for a grand total of 9 million on cable, facebook, and video. With the broadcast newsers doing 23 million, that means that out of a nation of 300+ million we have about 32 million watching news.
Explains why so many don't know the name of the speaker of the house or of the chief justice.
It also explains why Americans vote the way they do. They don't have a clue.
Cable news is all but lost to the left. That is why they full speed into the NFL. Propaganda mixed with corn chips and salsa, they can't hope to hold someone's attention otherwise.
The latest...they want to unionize college players.
Class warfare and victumhood will be persistent themes. American football becomes soccer...if your fouled in the game you roll on the ground and play act to get the call. => the left destroys every institution they touch.
Lately my wife and I have started watching local news. We get national and world news off the internet.
Fox isn't news. It's a "book of the month" club.
Not finding radio date, but wiki says Limbaugh is the leading radio talker with 14.5 million weekly listeners, Hannity second with 13.5 million.
On a 5 day week, that means Limbaugh is 1.5+ times the size of Fox News on a daily basis.
All I know is I watch FNC and switch the channel when Shep comes on and watch any entertaining reruns that are on until I decide to go to sleep. It is all the same news stories hour after hour anyway and I know I will be caught up first thing in the morning on FR or FNC. So tracking my evening news viewing and ratings would put me way into the low info crowd statistics by rating standards.
Fox is just the same old Bush re-treads and cocktail circuit talking heads working for that fat headed Karl Rove. The only purpose of Fox nowaday's is to get their RINO's elected...worst they'll probably assist in getting Hillary elected.
Hey buy my book! Yup poster above me is right..book club of the month.
Not long ago, when Obama heard that many people were having trouble paying for their new, higher ObamaCare premiums, he advised them to cancel their cellphones and cable TV subscriptions.
Apparently, increasing numbers of Obama supporters have been taking his advice. This is what CNN and MSNBC get for hyperactively promoting Obama into the presidency for two terms. If justice is served, Chris Matthews and his tingling leg will spend many future days standing in unemployment lines.
How many hours can you listen to them talk about that missing airplane? Tell us when you actually know what happened, and try reporting what's going on in the world.
I find BBC is the best for actual reporting.
What amazes me is the 23 million a night watching network news. It has to be the older generation stuck in the 6 pm news viewing habit. Otherwise, I can't imagine why they watch.
I go batty with the onesidedness of it when I check in every now and then, and I can't figure out how people don't see that.
And what "fair and balanced" Fox likes also drives me nuts. They like to put some "spokesperson" for the Democrats on and another "spokesperson" for the Republicans. They call it fair, but I call it mindless. You've got to be kidding me....'balanced' is having different sides spouting their partyline talking points over and over and over ad infinitum?
You don't really need to even listen after the first hearing on any new subject. All you get are the same endlessly repeated talking points.
They need an "original thoughts" segment really badly.
I can't stand all the commercials so I get most of my news online. Fox seems to be the worst. One story - six commercials - another story - eight commercials.
I agree. They used to almost apologize for breaking away to pay for the airtime...they say something like that.
Now it's like you say, far more commercials than news.
Free Republic sidebars are probably the fastest review of the news I can get.
If I had to pick any other site that had a comprehensive list of news I'd go here: http://www.christianheadlines.com/
They're pretty good.
I switch around watching the evening news and it amazes me that they all report exactly the same stories. Who decides what is the news of the day? Thank goodness for the internet.
Even though Fox is the "largest" it's just not that many people. In reality, very few people watch cable "news entertainment". Good thing because it's ALL crap.
Maybe, just maybe the low info voter will finally get to the real facts if they do some research. Here' hoping. It's truly the only thing that will save the Republic.
You just posted why I stopped watching Fox a couple of years ago. It is just incessant talking points arguing. Got on my nerves.

That sort of thing.
Used to be that you could buy and sell off of eBay, but now the community there is so unreliable that something can go real cheap one day and real expensive the next.
And half the time, the items sold are just flipped the day after the 30-day view period ends. Not great when real cheap isn't an option. Sorry, that was Wernher Von Braun's, not selling it for $20 (or even $200, I suppose ).
Then there used to be the eBay to Regency-Superior to Aurora to eBay sale cycle (you know the feeling: "didn't I get outbid on that on eBay/Regency/Aurora?") but when Aurora went under, the cycle was broken. With the feeding cycle broken, the maquettosphere loaded up with plankton and algae, which tends to stain the lovely "used to be white" paint jobs.
The great remainder, Regency-Superior, they havn't had a decent model grouping in a long while... something that I can judge if I should bother trying to sell anything (let alone buying!). Goldberg maybe, but they're mostly a place to sell gold coins you find buried in coffee cans in the garden, or your grandfather's stamp collection with the legendary "Handlebar mustache Hitler" error stamp.
So then, is there a super-secret coven out there? What is the hazing ritual? (On second thought, don't go there.) Is there a password other than "my wife hates my guts"? Drop me a line.
Because my wife hates my guts.

For the most part, the models that the auction houses offered in large number in the 1990s and early 2000s entered collections. There has been some turn over since – and of course that will continue – but I doubt we will see again the quantities being sold when the market was still young.

Judge Maphios Cheda from the Oshakati High Court has condemned a practice in which a father mediated in cases where his son was one of the legal representatives.
"Such practice will tarnish the image of the court, legal profession, the legal practitioners involved and the mediator himself," Cheda said after hearing substantial arguments on the plausibility of the issue. The matter emanated from a court-accredited mediation between two parties involved in divorce proceedings.
Cheda asked the legal representatives of the two parties to present him with arguments when he realised that one of the legal representatives is intimately related to the mediator.
According to Cheda he voiced his displeasure on two previous occasions where Jan Greyling Snr, a retired legal practitioner, had been allocated cases in which his son, Jan Greyling Jnr, was involved. "On those occasions he agreed with me and other mediators that other mediators should handle such cases," Cheda stated.
However, he said, despite all this, Greyling (Jnr) has again with the concurrence of the assistant registrar in charge of the Alternative Dispute Resolution Office allocated a matter to Greyling Snr where the son is representing one of the parties.
"What prompted this judgement is that in the present matter Greyling Junior has argued in open court to the effect that his father is an independent person and the parties have agreed that he presides. It is his view that there is no prejudice to any party and further that there is no provision in the High Court Rules precluding his father from presiding over such matters where he as a legal practitioner is representing another party."
According to the judge he was not satisfied with that argument and thus invited both counsels to file heads of argument to clarify the matter once and for all. Both counsels filed arguments in support of the practice saying there is nothing untoward for Greyling Senior to mediate as he is an experienced and neutral mediator. Cheda applauded the arguments, especially those of Greyling Junior, which he called well researched and well stated. The judge further said that Greyling Junior submitted that a judge has no authority to query the appointment of a mediator where both parties agreed.
This argument however holds no water, the judge said, as the lawyers seemed to lose sight of the fact that the court has the common law power to intervene where justice and fairness are being compromised.
"The court cannot stand by when it realises that the justice system is being compromised. The court does not operate in a vacuum but within a live environment and must be seen to have a human face and has a duty to protect the image and dignity of the legal system," Cheda emphasised.
He further said: "The fact that the parties' legal practitioners agreed that Greyling Senior be appointed as mediator and therefore the court should not interfere is a fallacy as the court cannot rubber stamp decisions which offend even the basic sense of impartiality and fairness. The situation the Greylings found themselves in is such a calamity, and it is my duty to rectify the situation."
According to Cheda, the fact that Greyling Senior and Junior are father and son compromises the whole process as it is unreasonable to expect Junior to forcefully and effectively argue a case before his own father. "The situation is undesirable and would place both of them in difficulties," Cheda stressed.
He added that while he did not doubt the professionalism of Greyling Senior, it is the public's perception which is the determining factor after all and concluded that the practice where a father is a mediator where his son is the legal practitioner for one of the parties should never be allowed, as it goes against the ethos of impartiality and will in the eyes of right-thinking persons be viewed as biased. "Such practices will tarnish the image of the court, the legal profession, the legal practitioners involved and the mediator himself," Cheda stated.

Finally, Gill Rejects The Stupid 39th Game
Oh how long I've been waiting for this. David Gill finally rubbished the idea of the 39th game which would be played overseas to satisfy sponsors and TV companies. He pointed out of its obvious flaws.
'If you are talking about a 39th game how do you get the symmetry? The domestic competition is the domestic competition. The Premier League is the Premier League in England. The Premier League should still look at opportunities and ideas but I cannot see an extra game happening.'
"If it was the 38th, whose home game would it be? How do you decide who will play where? It would be a step too far."
Why is it great news? Because like it or not, United are the biggest, most famous club of the Premier League. Without us, the commercial benefits of this 39th game would be drastically reduced - and the Premier League is surely aware of that. If Gill, the chief executive of the biggest global brand of the competition, can't see this 39th game happening then we might hope that it won't happen.

Minnie Mouse Cupcakes – A Fun Food
Posted by Melissa in Birthday Dessert Idea, Birthday/Holiday & Celebration Dish, Birthdays, Cupcakes, Easy Family Recipes, Fun Food Crafts | 0 comments
Pinterest, Pinterest, Pinterest! I love Pinterest! Pinterest is a paperless magazine of ideas! As my youngest daughter's birthday advanced, I pinned every Minnie Mouse birthday idea that I saw on Pinterest! These Minnie Mouse inspired cupcakes seemed easy enough. And, I knew that if I could pull it off, these cupcakes would steal the show! They are not your typical Minnie Mouse colors. The birthday girl requested blue frosting. Who am I to argue with the birthday girl?! Make yours with red, white or pink frosting to make a traditional Minnie Mouse inspired cupcake. Here's what I did to make these Minnie Mouse cupcakes:
- The ears and bow are made from home made fondant. Fondant does not have the best reputation as being very tasty. I've heard that home-made versions are a far bigger hit with taste buds. And, with each color of fondant costing a whopping $10, I thought I would save some funds by making my own. This is where I found the recipe!
- After I colored most of my fondant pink, and about 1/4 of it black. I got to work on the bows.
- I grabbed a sheet of wax paper and grabbed a small amount of the pink fondant.
- I stretched my piece of fondant into an oblong shape, and plopped it down on the wax paper
- I took another sheet of wax paper and placed it over my oblong pink fondant.
- Then I used a rolling pin to flatten the piece into a rectangular shape – My favorite bows were from rectangles about 1&1/2 inches by 5 inches.
- I folded each end of the rectangle into the center so they met in the middle
- Then I pinched the center to give it the bow look
- I then used a small strip of fondant to wrap around the center meeting in the back of the bow
- I placed each bow onto the center of a frosted cupcake
- The ears were made by rolling up a small ball of black fondant and setting it on a clean sheet of wax paper
- I then topped that with another clean sheet of wax paper and pushed it down.
- That's it! The ears are pretty simple
- I took the ears and placed them in the back of the bow, pushing the bottom of the ears into the bow and pinching them together to give them support
- That was it.
- I placed the cupcakes in an airtight container, and transported them to the birthday location. They all held together.
- Thankfully, Martha Stewart was not around to critique these imperfect Minnie Mouse cupcakes. The little five and six year old girls, moms, and staff at the pottery place however, were amazed and so impressed! Success!

My great grandfather put one together with the help of his sons. He grew a family of 8 and provided jobs, food and wealth for a very small economy with it. My grandfather met his goal of earning a million dollars on this family farm and he did it with and without the help of government. Sometimes a foolishly thought about subsidy would benefit him and sometimes it worked against him. The point is that HE made it work in spite of government. My father worked in a factory and supported my grandfather's endeavor. He took over the farm when my grandfather was no longer able, a very sad period. My father's loyalty in sticking to this family farming task that he found neither enjoyable or profitable was admirable. I worry that people who read this might see the million dollar number and think my grandfather was some kind of rich... and thus had an obligation to share his wealth through taxation (which he did and sometimes doubly so). I worry about this because during the Clinton era our family farm was taxed to near extinction. I think people don't realize that having land doesn't equal a million in the bank. It equals very expensive tractors, parts, fencing, sowing, and loss out the wazoo many years. It equals and requires labor that can be devastating to the human mind and spirit. I think family farming is often painted with a romantic brush when it is actually grueling work that can and often does require hours and hours on top of a regular work week. I also know the joy that is picking horn worms from your tomato vines in the early morning hours. I know the exhilaration a farmer feels when all the forces of nature come together to bring a bumper crop, or set you up to pick the sweetest watermelon or see the perfect calf come from a bull you hand selected to put with your heifers. The government now considers our farm a hobby farm and my brother works at the local electric cooperative to support it. He is currently farming a small heard of cattle and pine trees. I can't really tell the Bush administration was all that effective of an advocate for family farms. The Bush administration did reverse the death tax which was an additional taxation on income where taxes had already been assessed, an unfair situation by most standards. Clinton badly hurt family farms from our own family farming experience under his administration. I hear people talking of HOPE. I hear, "...reversing tax cuts for the most wealthy." I'm scared. Wealth or the appearance of wealth can be a tricky thing. When I hear tax cuts for people making this amount or that amount, I wonder if there is real understanding of wealth and the family farm. Like I said when I started, I'm unsure of THE definition of a family farm, government has defined ours in a lot of bizarre ways over the years. I caution people not to rest too long in the bosom of hope and to pay careful attention to living in the feel good moments too long. If anything, family farmers should be following the lessons of nature, prepare, save and live in the future.

BOSTON (WWLP) – The July unemployment rate for New England stayed at a steady 5.8%. The good news is that these six states are doing better than it was one year ago.
The nation's unemployment rate now sits at 6.2%. A report by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics shows a much higher percentage of New Englanders have jobs compared to the national average.
Maine's July jobless rate was 5.5%, New Hampshire 4.4% and Vermont had the lowest unemployment rate in the region at 3.7%. Massachusetts' jobless rate is 5.6%, a slight increase since June.
"Well, I mean there's always ebbs and flows. Certainly each month, sometimes there's good news, sometimes there's bad news… a lot of it is industry specific," said State Representative Angelo Puppolo of Springfield.
Rhode Island continues to have the highest unemployment rate in New England and the third highest rate in the nation at 7.7%.
But every New England state, even Rhode Island, is doing better than it was one year ago. The Commonwealth's jobless rate fell nearly 2% since this time last year.
"This is because we have really focused on some key, strategic areas of the economy and have really succeeded at building up those industries," said Senate Majority Leader Stan Rosenberg.
Massachusetts added 67,300 jobs over the last year.

Southeastern Asset Management, the largest outside shareholder of Dell (DELL), continues to press its case as to why the founder-led buyout of the Texas-based computer maker shouldn't proceed as currently envisioned.
The firm, which oversees more than 8% of Dell's stock, previously has said it believes the shares are worth a price approaching $24 apiece. Now Southeastern has released a letter it sent to the special board committee that's running the merger process, further explaining why it feels the deal is subpar.
"According to the proxy statement, [company founder Michael] Dell notified the Board of his intention to take the Company private in August 2012," the letter, dated Tuesday, April 9, states. "The proxy statement clearly shows that, in their review, the Special Committee and Board of Directors reached conclusions that stand in stark contrast to views held by the Board prior to August 2012. While the Special Committee may have worked diligently and was assisted by credible and reliable professionals, even a good process -– without the exercise of proper business judgment –- can result in a bad transaction."
Southeastern was one of the early opponents of the plan by Michael Dell and Silver Lake Partners to acquire the company for around $24 billion, or $13.65 a share. The Memphis-based firm says, that in the past two years, Dell bought back nearly a quarter of a billion of its shares at an average of $15.25 each, something that Southeastern contends bolsters its position here.
"The same Board that was confident with Dell buying its shares for $15.25 is now attempting to convince all shareholders that Dell's business is in such dire straits that they should take $13.65 and exit their investments," the letter reads. "We believe the Board's sudden rush to sell is triggered by one thing: Mr. Dell's desire to buy."
Michael Dell, who started the company while a University of Texas college student in 1984, is the largest shareholder overall.
Southeastern said that, while analyzing Dell in order to arrive at a takeover price, significant errors in judgment were made about the company's prospects.
"[T]he proxy statement and the analysis performed by the Special Committee focus disproportionately on the End User Computing (EUC) business while giving little attention to the Enterprise Storage and Services (ESS) business," the firm says. "Southeastern's in-depth analysis indicates that at the completion of the Company's transformation to ESS, Dell's future owners should realize valuation multiples significantly higher than those reflected in the current offer price."
Along with Southeastern, T. Rowe Price and Pzena Investment Management are prominent Dell investors who have expressed their displeasure with the price. More recently, those critics have been joined by Carl Icahn, who this year has amassed a stake of around 4.6% in Dell. Icahn is offering his own takeover plan for Dell, as is Blackstone (BX).
Southeastern acknowledged the two alternate bids in its letter, saying it sees both as better options to what's on the table.
"We view these proposals as superior primarily because each offers shareholders the opportunity to remain owners of Dell while also offering a higher cash price to owners who choose to exit their investment," the letter states.
Shares of Dell recently were up 3 cents to $14.23. The stock's highest close since the acquisition was announced Feb. 5 is $14.51.

MALDEN - State education officials are urging educators, parents and other stakeholders to review the latest drafts of the Common Core State Standards, and have pledged not to adopt them until they can ensure the new standards are either as strong as—or stronger than—the state's current standards.
The latest drafts of the new, state-developed standards in English language arts and mathematics have been posted on the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education's website, along with a survey to measure response from the public. The survey will be open through the beginning of July, and the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education is scheduled to vote on adoption at a special meeting on July 21.
"The strong standards and culture of high expectations we have set for our students are a major contributor to the great gains that have been achieved in Massachusetts, over the past decade," said Education Commissioner Mitchell Chester. "It makes little sense for 50 states to have 50 separate sets of standards. The Common Core Standards deserve full consideration and a thorough review to determine if they can help build on our already strong standards and increase expectations nationally."
"Our message all along has been clear and consistent: Massachusetts will only adopt the Common Core standards if they match or surpass our current expectations for students," said Education Secretary Paul Reville. "Even if the Board votes to adopt, the Commonwealth would still maintain the opportunity to add to the standards, personalize them to Massachusetts and build them out in a way that will allow our educators to propel our students to the next level of learning."
At the May 25 Board meeting, Commissioner Chester announced plans to thoroughly review the standards over the next several months:
"Our goal is to provide every student in the Commonwealth with the best possible schools, teachers, curriculum and opportunities they need to be successful in school, college, careers and in life," Chester said. "We will take the time to evaluate the Common Core Standards before making a decision, and if we ultimately find that the final product represents a decline in expectations from our state standards, we will not hesitate to walk away."

Equipment manufacturers Sidhil, based at Holmfield, has joined the international efforts to bring the disease under control in Africa.
With extra shifts operating and manufacturing processes at capacity, the company is working flat out to produce over 1600 special beds and mattresses due to be sent out to Sierra Leone in just two weeks' time.
The call came this week from the Department for International Development, now coordinating the work to provide medical supplies to help contain the Ebola virus epidemic.
As the only volume manufacturer of hospital beds in the UK, Sidhil was the obvious choice for the supply of beds and mattresses.
The company has mobilised all resources to produce this volume of equipment in a very short space of time, to meet specific requirements.
"This is a real logistical challenge, requiring a special bed that could be produced economically and at high speed, as well as mattresses welded and sealed to help with infection control," said Sidhil's managing director James Ibbotson.
"We've had immense support from our raw material suppliers too to ensure that we could meet demanding delivery deadlines. These products are needed now to help save lives, and we're proud to be able to play a part in the relief operation."
With time of the essence, Sidhil is working around the clock in time for shipment by charter aircraft out to Sierra Leone in October.

I'll keep my shares and adjust my 2-3 target price slightly upward (from $15). But I'd really rather the company NOT disburse this round-about dividend of approximately $15 million. They owe about $120 million in LT debt and interest coverage is thin (1.6 times).
No doubt management thinks the jump in equity and earnings value a buyback can create for the remaining shareholders will spark an increase in share price. I hope they are right.
But my suspicion is that this buy-back is more of a maneuver between competing factions on the board.
The share are cheaper today than when I bought in last January. Price/Sales is down to 10% versus 11% in January. Price/Book is down from 33% to 23%. And price over TTM cash flow yeilds only 2.4. The lone analyst covering EBSC is calling for $0.90 per share in FY 02 Were the company earning that much today, the PE would only be 5.0, and the stock would surely double.
So I would far rather management focus its attention on proving the analyst right. I can wait patiently until then for my shares to rise.
Persuing both goals is mutually exclusive, because this company is barely profitable, three years out of bankruptcy, and can barely cover its debt service. Giving $15 million bucks to its shareholders right now is, well, foolish, not Foolish!

Quicken Loans interns had a great time yesterday getting a "taste of Detroit" with Connect After 5 at the Summer Intern Program Kick-Off held at the YMCA downtown. Connect After 5 creates fun, after-work events for employees of local Detroit businesses to socialize and utilize what the city has to offer. Our interns met and mingled with many others, while enjoying food and giveaways from Detroit restaurants and venues. Businesses took over tables and supplied interns with their information and knowledge of the city. The event didn't stop at food though; there was a DJ to entertain, a photo booth and bean bag toss. At the end of the night interns won prizes such as gift certificates, money and signed baseballs through random drawings. I think it's safe to say that the event was a success and an awesome start to the summer!
