New route to end Utah's wilderness stalemate
Can one of the West's most anti-federal lands lawmakers broker a mega-wilderness deal in the Beehive state?
Page 3
Rob Bishop is a silver-haired mountain of a man with a self-deprecating sense of humor and a gift for working a conservative crowd into a lather. He has built his career on anti-government, anti-environmentalist bombast, often delivered in the calm tones of a Mormon patriarch.
Aside from a two-year Mormon mission in Germany and his time in D.C., where he has represented Utah's first congressional district since 2002, Bishop has lived in Utah all his life. He resides in Brigham City, a town of 18,000 near the eastern shore of the Great Salt Lake. He and his wife, Jeralynn, have five children: Shule, Jarom, Zenock, Maren and Jashon -- named after people and places in the Book of Mormon.
Bishop taught high school history for more than a decade, something he often mentions in interviews and campaigns, but his main occupation has been politics. He was elected to the state House in 1978 at the age of 27 and rose through the ranks to be that body's speaker, and later, chairman of the Utah Republican Party. In 1992, he co-founded the Western States Coalition, a group of lawmakers, ranchers and Sagebrush Rebels that raised a hue and cry over President Clinton's conservation initiatives.
In D.C., Bishop has been one of the extractive industries' most loyal supporters, sponsoring at least three bills that would require the feds to "more efficiently develop" oil and gas on public lands. Oil and gas interests donated more than $58,000 to his 2012 campaign, more than any other industry, according to the nonprofit Open Secrets.
The League of Conservation Voters, meanwhile, gives Bishop a lifetime score of just 4 percent. He has campaigned to allow Border Patrol agents to drive willy-nilly across fragile desert in pursuit of "bad guys" and "potential terrorists," and supported efforts to weaken the Endangered Species Act, the National Environmental Policy Act and other bedrock environmental laws.
Bishop has also pushed legislation that would turn over patches of federal land to the states and supports Utah's efforts to lay claim to most of the 30-plus million acres of federal estate within its borders. At a 2011 energy summit in Uintah County, he held up a map with what looked like a red paint spatter covering roughly a third of the state. "This is the real state of Utah," he said. "Everything that's red is private property. The rest is public property. That's why I want my land back."
Still, Bishop isn't opposed to protecting wilderness when it suits his needs. He sponsored the 2006 bill that created the 100,000-acre Cedar Mountain Wilderness Area in western Utah -- the state's first new wilderness since 1984. The law, which SUWA supported, blocked a proposed rail line that would have carried radioactive waste to a storage site on the Skull Valley Goshute Indian Reservation -- waste that the military believed could have jeopardized activities at a nearby bombing range.
But while wilderness has its uses, there's one thing Bishop simply cannot abide: the Antiquities Act, which Clinton famously used to protect Grand Staircase-Escalante in 1996. Last March, Bishop was one of the few to object to President Obama's creation of four national monuments, including the Rio Grande del Norte National Monument in New Mexico, the San Juan Islands National Monument in Washington state, and a monument in Delaware dedicated to Harriet Tubman, who helped escaped slaves make their way north along the Underground Railroad.
"There is a right way to designate federal lands, and there is a wrong way," Bishop told The Washington Post. "Executive fiat is unquestionably the wrong way and is an abuse of executive privilege."
With pressure mounting for Obama to designate a massive new monument in eastern Utah, Bishop has an opportunity to show the president, and the world, what he means by the right way. That, however, requires a dramatic change of tactics. Pulling a line from his history books, Bishop hearkens back to general-turned-president Dwight D. Eisenhower: "Eisenhower used to say, if he had a problem he couldn't solve, he made it bigger."
The same day Bishop sent his letter to stakeholders asking for input on his new wilderness project, he also wrote to commissioners in six eastern Utah counties. This second letter was more persuasive, making the case that it was in the counties' best interest to participate. It was also more frank about the rules of the game.
"Wilderness, or other land designations, can act as a currency," Bishop wrote. "If wilderness is designated in your county, you should receive some specific, tangible benefit for it."
This could be good, he argued, as counties dominated by federal lands could win rights of way for roads, special zones for energy development, or federal acreage for a local park, an airport or other amenities -- if the counties were willing to pay. "The more (wilderness) we're willing to designate," Bishop wrote, "the more we can expect on the other side of the ledger."
But while eastern Utah holds some wilderness gems, none of the communities there are booming the way that St. George was back in the early 2000s. So what, one might ask, are Bishop and the local economic interests really after? In a word: energy.
The Uintah Basin is a wide concavity in the earth that sweeps down from the Uinta Mountains in the northeast corner of Utah. The scattered communities here -- Duchesne, Roosevelt, Vernal, and the Uintah and Ouray Indian Reservation -- are longtime agricultural centers that have in recent decades been transformed by oil and gas development.
Ten thousand pump jacks and gas wells currently suck liquid and gaseous gold from the ground here. At night, they light up the juniper-dotted hills like bonfires. The industry, which now accounts for roughly 60 percent of the region's economy, wants to drill another 25,000 wells in the near future -- and that's just the beginning. The basin holds enough tar sands, oil shale and shale oil to keep the drill rigs and strip mines cranking for years to come.
"The neat thing about the Uintah Basin from a producer's or a geologist's standpoint is that you've got productive (rock) horizons that are stacked geologically on top of each other," says Lowell Braxton, the Utah representative for the Western Energy Alliance, an industry group. "Right now, we're working in young, shallow formations. But there's Mancos shale underneath that, which has potential as a shale oil producer, and there's potential for gas formations in the sands. And then you can keep going on down. The deepest well in the basin is 18-20,000 feet right now. People aren't drilling that deep, but the infrastructure is there -- the roads, the pipelines -- to get the resource out. Our long-term interest (as an industry) is likely to be in the Uintah Basin."

Cowboys vs. Patriots: 5 things to watch
Published 8:32 pm, Saturday, October 15, 2011
Here's what Express-News Cowboys beat writer Tom Orsborn says you should keep an eye on during today's game:
1. OFFENSIVE FIREWORKS: The Patriots are second in the league in scoring, averaging 33 points per game, and first in total offense, averaging nearly 500 yards. The Cowboys are 12th in scoring average (24.8 points) and sixth in total offense (417.6 yards).
With speedy wide receiver Miles Austin back from a hamstring injury that forced him to sit out the last two games, Dallas should be able to stretch the field against the New England defense, which is last in the league overall (433.0 yards) and last against the pass (326.6 yards).

The Patriots have a shot at tying the record of 14 straight 30-point games set by the St. Louis Rams' "Greatest Show on Turf" team in 1999-2000. Tom Brady ranks first in the AFC in passing and is on pace to throw for 5,997 yards, which would shatter Dan Marino's 27-year-old, single-season record of 5,084.
Despite his erratic play, Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo stands ninth in the league in passing with a 92.9 rating and is on pace to throw for 5,091 yards.
Bottom line: Bet the over.
2. BRADY VS. RYAN: Film study of the Patriots often proves a waste of time for opponents because of Bill Belichick's insistence that the offense and defense deviate from recent tendencies. Even if it starts a game sporting alignments it featured the week before, New England often shifts into a surprise look.
To counteract Belichick's sleight of hand, the Cowboys must be quick to adjust. But there will also be pressure on Brady to react to the exotic looks deployed by Dallas defensive coordinator Rob Ryan, whose Cleveland Browns defense was the last to hold the Patriots below 30 points in a 34-14 win last November.
Sporting a variety of coverages cooked up by Ryan, the Browns limited Brady to 226 yards, a big reason they converted just 3 of 11 third-down attempts.
One thing Ryan is sure to do is move linebacker DeMarcus Ware around, looking for matchups to exploit and ways to avoid double teams.
"You're not ever sure exactly where he's going to be," Belichick said of Ware. "That's a big challenge. ... He comes up the middle, he comes outside. He's a tough matchup problem."
Ware, the 2010 NFL sack champion with 151/2, is tied for fourth in the league in sacks with five. He loves playing for Ryan, who has excelled so far at positioning Ware to get single coverage on passing downs.
3. TIGHT END TANGO: Cowboys linebacker Sean Lee has been outstanding in coverage in his brief NFL career and has four interceptions in his last eight games.
Dallas will need him to be at his best today because Brady loves to go to tight ends Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez, who have already combined for 58 catches and seven touchdowns.
"I think they're the best combination of tight ends in the league," Cowboys cornerback Orlando Scandrick said. "They show up a ton."
Operating out of the spread formation, the 6-foot-6, 265-pound Gronkowski and the 6-1, 245-pound Hernandez create matchup problems for smaller cornerbacks and slower linebackers. If a safety is assigned to shadow them, Brady takes advantage by targeting wide receivers Wes Welker and Deion Branch.
Fortunately for the Cowboys, Lee has the speed and the size (6-2, 242) to stick with either tight end. Both of his interceptions this season came while he was covering tight ends. What's in doubt is whether aging linebackers Keith Brooking and Bradie James can pull their weight.
4. ROMO GOING DEEP: Austin picked a great week to return from the hamstring injury that forced him to sit out the last two games. No team has surrendered more pass plays of 20 yards or more this season than New England's 30.
Those numbers, however, mean little to Romo, who pointed out that the Patriots limited Mark Sanchez to 166 passing yards in a 30-21 win over the Jets last week.
"I don't know that that's who they are," Romo said of New England's last-place defensive ranking. "I think they're really a good defensive unit that's just coming into their own lately. They played well last week. You can tell they're well-coached."
Still, it would be a shock if Romo doesn't take a few deep shots against a suspect secondary. Even if he can't connect with Austin, it would loosen things up underneath for tight end Jason Witten.
5. PATRIOTS' GROUND GAME: It isn't just Brady's strong and accurate right arm that has the Cowboys' attention. They're also concerned with the powerful legs of running back BenJarvus Green-Ellis.
Bolstered by Green-Ellis' 27-carry, 136-yard, two-touchdown effort against the Jets, the Patriots own the sixth-best run game in the league, averaging 128.6 yards per game. But the going won't be easy against the Cowboys, who are first in the league in rush defense (61.8 yards).
"We've got to make them one-dimensional," James said. "That's what we say every week. We have to control the running game, because if we don't control the running game, it becomes a two-headed monster.
"They came out last week and just decided to run the ball. You've got to be on top of everything when you're playing against these guys."
There are more than a few reasons to believe the Cowboys could be primed to pull off the upset. Dallas is coming off its bye week, so it's healthy and presumably well prepared. The Patriots are due for a letdown after a hard-fought win over a division rival.
In Ryan, the Cowboys have a defensive coordinator who knows how to stymie Brady. Dallas also knows a win today would give it some cachet in the pedestrian NFC East.
But can you trust the erratic Romo against a Belichick defense? Are you willing to have faith that the Dallas secondary will get the best of Brady, who hasn't lost a regular-season home game since 2006?
The answer to each question is a resounding no.
Patriots 35, Cowboys 28

A&O City Hotel Hamburg Reviews
63 reviews
Affordable and close to city centre Dec 28, 2011
I stayed 1 night here recently, and I'm quite overall pleased with this hostel.
First of all, its very affordable, and the location is just good. Its merely 3 stops on the U-bahn from the Rathaus, and the U-bahn station is only 3 mins. walk from the hostel.
The rooms are clean, but perhaps a bit on the small side. Nonetheless they have all you need, and everything is in working order.
We were in a car and there were excellent parking facilities in a closed basement. On top of that is was very easy to find by car.
The staff was very kind and welcoming and the neighbourhood was quiet and safe.
All in all a solid choice if you are dropping by Hamburg.

Police in Zurich, Switzerland have set up "drive-in sex boxes" in the city's red light district. The boxes give prostitutes more privacy when they work, because if there's one thing prostitutes are known for, it's shyness. Actually, the boxes are for the benefit of people living in the area, one of whom said, "They get up to all sorts in broad daylight – and we're sick to death of looking at it." I think the paper made a mistake. Shouldn't the last half of that sentence be, "and I'm running out of popcorn and this lawn chair is making my butt look like plaid"?
Now let's turn our attention to another disappointing public exhibition, this time in Austin, Texas. A group assembled on National Go Topless Day for a topless protest of the injustice that women can't go topless in public when men legally can. But, since there was the prospect of possibly seeing one good-looking woman's breasts for free, the event was flooded with gawking guys, some of them carrying cameras, vastly outnumbering any women in attendance. Just a bunch of topless, sweaty, mostly out-of-shape guys whining about what a sausage party it was. Here's a protip, guys: if you want women to go topless in the parade next year, don't show up in droves holding cameras, creeping everyone out. This is why we can't have nice things.
And speaking of topless women, a candidate for parliament in Brazil made this interesting campaign promise: a strip club in every town. 23-year-old stripper and porn actress Adriely Fatal is taking her campaign directly to the people, dancing in the back of a truck outside soccer stadiums while wearing hot pants. She says she already has 10,000 votes pledged to her, and if she can get a couple thousand more she'll earn a seat in parliament, where she wants to focus on hospitals and schools. Because who knows more about good health and staying in school than a stripper / porn star?

E34 530i Auto trans stuck in park
As the title states I went to get into my touring this morning, and I could not get it to go out of park*mumble*, also I'm not sure if this is related but none of the gauges were working either.....
All fuses are good in the fuse box located under the hood in the left rear corner, are there any other fuses I should check like under the dash, or under the rear seat?
I also removed the black trim that covers the hole where the shifter goes through the console and found that there is an aluminum dowel pin that goes in and out which either permits or prevents the selector to move in and out of gear. I pushed it in manually and was able to move the car, I then turned the car off leaving it in gear, and the aluminum dowel pin remained pushed in on its own, I then put it in park, the dowel pin came back out again, and stays out even after restarting the car.
If anyone can help solve this issue or point me in the right direction that would be great...sorry for the long thread, but I wanted to give enough detail so you can understand the whole issue.
Neutral Safety switch?
no it's not the neutral safety switch, it's just called a magnet, item # 5 in the link below.
What I did for now was just unpluged it, but now the trans is stuck in limp mode :(

What is PhotoReading?
PhotoReading is nothing like speed reading.
Instead of moving your eyeballs faster,
PhotoReading enables you to use your
brain more effectively
The PhotoReading Whole Mind System is a 5-step approach to reading that includes a technique called PhotoReading. By using your mind and applying the 5 steps of the PhotoReading you can get your reading done in one-third the time. Even as a beginner.
You can learn PhotoReading in a weekend. Or with the home study course in two weeks if you invest 40 minutes a day for 14 days. The home study course is
available here
. After learning the system you'll be able finish the same book in one-third the time with the same or better understanding.
First lets look at Speed Reading
People often look at speed reading because they have so much to read. With speed reading you have to move your eyes faster and faster across the page. You hope your conscious mind can keep up. Of course it can't really. Some courses even recommend memory courses to help you to increase the short-term memory.
Speed reading takes 2 to 4 weeks of practice to even double your reading speed. And then you have to keep practising speed reading regularly or you'll find yourself slowing down. Another problem with speed reading is you need to train your mind to improve short-term memory. Until you successfully learn speed reading you will not have the understanding you had with traditional reading. You must keep pushing your eyes faster across the page and not worry about understanding what you read for a few weeks. And this is where most people give up.
Is that good enough while you are studying? Spending 30 to 60 minutes a day practicing speed reading at the expense of understanding? Many speed reading programs will warn you there will be a decrease in understanding and you must ignore it. We don't have time for practise. We want results And when we read we want to understand what we read. Who wants to add practising 60 minutes a day when they need to be studying?
How is PhotoReading different?
PhotoReading is not reading. PhotoReading is mentally photographing the printed page at 25,000 to 60,000 words a minute for the printed page. As fast as we can turn the pages. On the computer screen we PhotoRead even faster than that. Okay there isn't any comprehension there and the good thing is it only takes a couple of minutes for the average book or 10 minutes for most textbooks.
The rest of the step are for conscious comprehension that we need.
We build the conscious understanding we enjoy with traditional reading. Even beginners can get their reading done in on third the time. Advanced PhotoReaders can finish books in 1/5th or even 1/10th the time. Depending on their reading purpose.
At a weekend seminar, regardless of your reading speed on Friday. By Monday you will have the skills that allow you get your reading in one-third the time. With the same and often even better understanding of what you read. There is no practise drills you improve by using the system. Simply apply the PhotoReading techniques to all your reading material. How does it get better than that? Ennjoy the increase in understanding, get it done and enjoy the time normally spent on important reading doing other things.
You only need to apply what you learn. In the beginning, you will be more consistent in applying as many of the techniques you learned during the weekend. In a few weeks you'll find that you're using them without thinking about it.
With PhotoReading once you've learned the steps of the system you can come back to it any time. So if you go on a holiday trekking the Himalayas for two months where there is no reading , when you come back, you will still be able to get your reading done in one-third the time. It's like riding a bike once you know how, you just do it.
An minor benefit of using the PhotoReading system is that your natural reading speed will probably increase. Something handy for all those social media post and websites you're probably reading now.

[members-discuss] Complaints against LIRs ignored by NCC
Erik Bais erik at bais.name
Mon Dec 16 12:06:51 CET 2013
Hi Andrea, Companies that spam the complete over and over again .. are not looking for IP space .. they are .. indeed spammers. We all get the emails from companies from the USA that are looking for IP space these days ... But if they would be eligible for ARIN space as a US company, why would they feel the need to spam the complete RIPE db ? ARIN still has 2 /8's ... and it is a lot cheaper for them to actually get the IP space directly from their own RIR instead of in a depleted region. Any company that requires more IP space, should go to the RIPE website, look at either the listing page or the transfer page where they can find the brokers. As Gert stated, reclaiming un-used IP space won't solve the issue. And it will also not distribute the last bit of IP space more fairly than via a broker. Changes are that if a big portion would be reclaimed and all policies changed to re-issue that reclaimed space, similar as in the final 14 days before depletion, it will be snagged up by some large telco in a single request and we all go back to our daily lives. It is not worth the effort imho. Erik -----Original Message----- From: members-discuss-bounces at ripe.net [mailto:members-discuss-bounces at ripe.net] On Behalf Of Andrea Cocito Sent: maandag 16 december 2013 11:47 To: Gert Doering Cc: Rade Djurasinovic; members-discuss at ripe.net Subject: Re: [members-discuss] Complaints against LIRs ignored by NCC On Dec 16, 2013, at 11:43 AM, Gert Doering <gert at space.net> wrote: > There are a lot of "it should be..." or "it would be nice if...", but > there's also a lot of reality out there.

The Fairfax County Independent Company of Volunteers, the Militia, And the Committee of Safety
Gunston Hall Plantation
Fairfax Independent Company of Volunteers - September 21, 1774
"That we will use our utmost Endeavours, as well as the Musters of the said Company, as by all other Means in our Power, to make ourselves Masters of the Military Exercise. And that we will always hold ourselves in Readiness, in Case of Necessity, hostile Invasion, or real Danger of the Community of which we are Members, to defend to the utmost of our Power, the legal prerogatives of our Sovereign King George the third, and the just Rights & Privileges of our Country, our Posterity & ourselves upon the Principles of the British Constitution."
Fairfax County Committee of Safety Proceedings - January 17, 1775
"Resolved, That this Committee do concur in opinion with the Provincial Committee of the Province of Maryland, that a well regulated Militia, composed of gentlemen freeholders, and other freemen, is the natural strength and only stable security of a free Government, and that such Militia will relieve our mother country from any expense in our protection and defence, will obviate the pretence of a necessity for taxing us on that account, and render it unnecessary to keep Standing Armies among us—ever dangerous to liberty; and therefore it is recommended to such of the inhabitants of this County as are from sixteen to fifty years of age, to choose a Captain, two Lieutenants, an Ensign, four Sergeants, four Corporals, and one Drummer, for each Company; that they provide themselves with good Firelocks, and use their utmost endeavours to make themselves masters of the Military Exercise, published by order of his Majesty in 1764, and recommended by the Provincial Congress of the Massachusetts Bay, on the 29th of October last."
Letter of George Mason to George Washington- February 6, 1775
"Enclosed you have a copy of the plan I drew for embodying the people of this county, in which you 'll be pleased to make such alterations as you think necessary. You will observe I have made it as general as I well could ; this I thought better at first than to descend to particulars of uniform, &c., which perhaps may be more easily done when the companies are made up."
Fairfax County Militia Plan - February 6, 1775
" And such of us have, or can procure Riphel Guns, & understand the use of them, will be ready to form a Company of Marksmen or Light-Infantry for the said Regiment, chusing our own Officers as aforesaid, & distinguishing our Dress, when we are upon Duty, from that of the other Companies, by painted Hunting Shirts and Indian Boots, or Caps, as shall be found most convenient, —Which Regulation & Establishment is to be preserved & continued, until a regular and proper Militia Law for the Defence of the Country shall be enacted by the Legislature of this Colony... And that we will always hold ourselves in Readiness, in Case of Necessity, Hostile-Invasion, or real Danger, to defend & preserve to the utmost of our Power, our Religion, the Laws of our Country, & the just Rights & Privileges of our fellow Subjects, our Posterity, & ourselves, upon the Principles of the English Constitution."
Letter of George Mason to George Washington- February 17, 1775
"I can't conceive how Mr. Harper could make such a mistake as to buy double the quantity of powder wanted for this county, when he had the order in writing signed by you and me. If there is any ambiguity in the said writing (for I don't now recollect the words) by which Mr. Harper might be led into such a mistake, I think we are in honor bound to take the whole off his hands; otherwise it does not appear to me that he can reasonably expect it ; though I am exceedingly concerned that any kind of misunderstanding should happen in an affair which must have given Mr. Harper a good deal of trouble, and which I am convinced was undertaken by him merely from public motives, and a desire to oblige the Committee. I remember your mentioning in conversation, to Mr. Harper, an application made to you from London County to procure a quantity of powder for their Committee, upon six months' credit, and telling him if it could be purchased in Philadelphia upon such credit you would see the money paid when it became due ; to which he answered that powder was generally a ready-money article there, and at this time in particular he did not imagine it could be got upon credit. I speak from recollection (having had no concern in the affair), but as nearly as I can remember this is the substance of what passed between you and him respecting the Loudon Committee, and may possibly have occasioned the mistake ; at least I can account for it in no other way.
I have already paid Messrs. McCrea and Maire half their account. And my half the money due to Mr. Harper for the articles ordered for Fairfax County, is at any minute ready, having kept a sum in gold by me for that purpose..."
Remarks on Annual Elections for the Fairfax Independent Company of Volunteers - April 1775
"A moment's reflection upon the principles on which this company was first instituted, and the purposes for which it was formed, will evince the propriety of the gentleman's motion; for it has been wisely observed by the deepest politician who ever put pen to paper, that no institution can be long preserved, but by frequent recurrence to those maxims on which it was formed.
This company is essentially different from a common collection of mercenary soldiers. It was formed upon the liberal sentiments of public good, for the great and useful purposes of defending our country, and preserving those inestimable rights which we inherit from our ancestors; it was intended in these times of extreme danger, when we are threatened with the ruin of that constitution under which we were born, and the destruction of all that is dear to us, to rouse the attention of the public, to introduce the use of arms and discipline, to infuse a martial spirit of emulation, and to provide a fund of officers, that in case of absolute necessity, the people might be the better enabled to act in defence of their invaded liberty. Upon this generous and public-spirited plan, gentlemen of the first fortune and character among us have become members of the Fairfax Independent Company, have submitted to stand in the ranks as common soldiers, and to pay due obedience to the officers of their own choice. This part of the country has the glory of setting so laudable an example: let us not tarnish it by any little dirty views of party, of mean self-interest or of low ambition."
Is George Mason the Author of the Militia Article in the Virginia Gazette on the Militia Officers Being Popularly Elected on May 12, 1774?
Account of Fairfax County Weapons Levy - April 17, 1775
Committee of the House of Burgesses on The Removal of the Gunpowder by the Governor and the Formation of Independent Volunteer Companies- June 1775
" It appears to your Committee from the Testimony of Benjamin Waller that the morning after the Powder was removed from the public Magazine, the People in the City of Williamsburg were much alarmed and assembled some with and others without Arms, but when, the Corporation reported the Governor's answer to their Address, they, by the persuasion of the Magistrates, and, other principal Gentlemen of the Town dispersed and were quiet, except in the Evening, when a Report prevailed that the Marines were landed, and intended to Town, they expressed great uneasiness and went with their Arms to the Magazine to guard it, but soon dispersed except a few who acted as patrole that Night. That the next Day Doctor Pasteur came to the said Waller's House, and informed him of the Governor's Threatening that if himself his Family or Captain Collins were insulted, he would declare liberty to the Slaves, and lay the Town in Ashes, and that the Governor had desired him to communicate this his Declaration to the Magistrates of the City, for that there was not an Hour to Loose. That these Declarations gave the said Waller and the other Inhabitants of the Town great uneasiness... That his Lordship further observed that some Slaves had offered him their Service at the time the Hanover Men were coming down but that he had sent them away. The said Benjamin Waller further says that several young Gentlemen of the Town and others had formed themselves into a Company by the name of an independent Company to learn the Military exercise and elected the Colonel of the Militia for their Captain and that they usually mustered once a Week. That when his Excellency returned from the Indian Expedition last fall many of the said Company waited upon him in their uniform to congratulate his Lordship on his Return but the said Waller heard they were cooly received."
Letter to Martin Cockburn- July 1775
"This will not be wondered at when the extent and importance of the business before us is reflected on—to raise forces for immediate service—to new-model the whole militia—to render about one-fifth of it fit for the field at the shortest warning—to melt down all the volunteer and independent companies into this great establishment—to provide arms, ammunition, &c.,—and to point out ways and means of raising money, these are difficulties indeed ! "
Letter to Martin Cockburn- August 22, 1775
"The 3,000 regular troops (exclusive of the western frontier garrisons) first proposed to be raised are reduced to 1,000, to be formed into two regiments, one of eight, the other of seven companies ; these 15 companies are to be raised in the fifteen western- shore districts, the captains and subaltern officers to be appointed by the committee of the respective district, formed by a deputation of three members from the committee of each county in the district. The first regiment is commanded by Col. Henry, Lieut.
Col. Christian and Maj'r Eppes ; the second regiment by Col. Wm. Woodford, Lieut. Col. Charles Scott and Major Spotswood. A regiment of minute-men of 680 rank and file in each of the fifteen districts on the western shore, with the same field and staff officers, chaplain, surgeon, &c., as the regiments of regulars, and with the same pay when upon duty in the district, or drawn into actual service—the officers to be appointed by the District Committees, and commissioned by the Committee of Safety—the militia officers are all to give up their present commissions, and be nominated by the respective committees' of the counties, the militia companys to be exercised once a fortnight, except the three winter months, and general county musters twice a year. Arms, tents, &c., to be provided for the minute-men at the public charge. These are the great outlines of our plan of defence, which I think a good, though very expensive one ; the particulars would take up too much room for a common letter ; particular rules are drawn up for the better regulation and government of the army, to which both the minute-men and militia are subjected, when drawn out into actual service ; the volunteer companys are all discharged and melted down in the plan for the regiments of minute-men—these informations you may rely on, as the ordinance yesterday received its final fiat."
Letter to Martin Cockburn - August 29, 1775
"As it is proposed that a company of fifty men for the standing army shall be raised in each county, my son George may perhaps have a mind to enter into the service ; in which case, pray tell him that it will be very contrary to my inclination, and that I advise him by all means against it—when the plan for the minute-men is completed, if he has a mind to enter into that I shall have no objection ; as I look upon it to be the true, natural and safe defence of this, or any other free country, and as such wish to see it encouraged to the utmost. "
Letter of George Mason to George Washington - October 14, 1775
"Our friend, the Treasurer, was the warmest man in the Convention, for immediately raising a standing army of not less than four thousand men, upon constant pay. They stood a considerable time at three thousand, exclusive of the troops upon the western frontiers ; but at the last reading (as you will see by the ordinance), were reduced to one thousand and twenty, rank and file ; in my opinion, a well-judged reduction, not only from our inability to furnish, at present, such a number with arms and ammunition, but I think it extremely imprudent to exhaust ourselves before we know when we are to be attacked. The part we have to act, at present, seems to require our laying in good magazines, training our people, and having a good number of them ready for action. An ordinance is passed for regulating an annual election of members to the Convention and County Committees ; for encouraging the making saltpetre, sulphur, and gunpowder ; for establishing a manufactory of arms, under the direction of commissioners ; and for appointing a Committee of Safety, consisting of eleven members, for carrying the ordinances of the Convention into execution, directing the stations of the troops, and calling the minute-battalions and drafts from the militia into service, if necessary, &c."
To The Maryland Council of Safety - November 29, 1775
George Mason Militia Payments - 1776
"Ordered that a Warrant issue to George Mason Esquire for six hundred and three pounds five shillings and three farthings for the pay of the Fairfax Militia as settled by the Commissioners."
To the Maryland Council of Safety - March 15, 1776
"Being employed by the Committee of Safety for this colony to fit out three armed cruisers, & two row gallies, for the protection of potomack River, we have, in consequence thereof, bought three sloops; the largest of which (called the American Congress) will mount 14 Carriage Guns, 6 & 4 pounders, & be man'ed with about ninety men. "
Letter of George Mason to George Washington- April 2, 1776
"We are building the row-galleys, which are in considerable forwardness ; and have purchased three sloops for cruisers, two of them being only from forty to fifty tons burden, are to mount eight carriage-guns each, three and four pounders ; they are not yet fitted up, and we are exceedingly puzzled to get cannon for them. The other, the American Congress is a fine stout vessel, of about one hundred and ten tons burden, and has such an easy draft of water as will enable her to run into most of the creeks, or small harbors, if she meets with a vessel of superior force. She mounts fourteen carriage-guns, six and four-pounders, though we have thoughts of mounting two nine-pounders upon her main beam, if we find her able, as we think she is, to bear them ; her guns are mounted and to be tried to-morrow. We have twenty barrels of powder, and about a ton of shot ready—more is making ; swivels we have not yet been able to procure, but she may make a tolerable ship without, until they can be furnished. We have got some small-arms, and are taking every method to increase them, and hope to be fully supplied in about a week more. Her company of marines is raised and have been for some time exercised to the use of the great guns. Her complement of marines and seamen is to be ninety-six men. We are exerting ourselves to the utmost and hope to have her on her station in less than a fortnight, and that the other vessels will quickly follow her, and be able to protect the inhabitants of this river from the piratical attempts of all the enemy's cutters, tenders, and small craft."
Letter of George Mason to Martin Cockburn - June 23, 1776
"Tell George his recruiting Expences are not allowed, nor any of the Minute Officers. I have got a Warrant for £3..5 for the two Guns, chd. in his Acct. furnished the Detachment of his Compy. wch. march'd with Ensign Cofer. I have spoken to Capt. Lee about the two Guns, his Compy. carried from Dumfries; but he says he knows nothing about them, & unless George can make some other Proof, they will be lost, & no Satisfaction recd. for them; especially as Capt. Lee's Company, wth. the rest of the third Regiment is ordered to march imediatly to Carolina. He shou'd also get a Certificate from Ensign Cofer for the Musket he took of mine from John Tillet's Shop; tho' I had much rather have the Musket re-turn'd; for as we have a Bayonet for her, she wou'd now sell at £5…10."
To Mr. Brent - October 1778 (Or to George Mercer?)
"My eldest Son George engaged early in the American Cause, & was chosen Ensign of the first independent Company formed in Virginia, or indeed on the Continent, it was commanded by the Present General Washington as Captain, & consisted entirely of Gentlemen. In the Year 1775 he was appointed a Captain of Foot, in one of the first Minute-Regiments raised here, but was soon obliged to quit the Service, by a violent Rheumatic Disorder; which has followed him ever since, & I believe will force him to try the Climate of France or Italy...
...When I was first a Member of the Convention, I exerted myself to prevent a Confiscation of the King's Quit-Rents; and altho' I was for putting the Country imediatly into a State of Defence, and preparing for the worst; yet as long as we had any well founded hopes of the Reconciliation, I opposed, to the utmost of my Power, all violent Measures, & such as might shut the Door to it; but when Reconciliation became a lost Hope, when unconditional Submission, or effectual Resistance, were the only Alternatives left us, when the last dutiful & humble petition from Congress received no other Answer than declaring us Rebels, and out of the King's protection, I from that Moment look'd forward to a Revolution & Independence, as the only means of Salvation; and will risque the last Penny of my Fortune, & the last Drop of my Blood upon the Issue: for to imagine that we cou'd resist the Efforts of Great Britain, still professing ourselves her Subjects, or support a defensive War against a powerful Nation, without the Reins of Government in the Hands of America (whatever our pretended Friends in Great Britain may say of it) is too childish & futile an Idea to enter into the Head of any Man of Sense. I am not singular in my Opinions; these are the Sentiments of more than nine tenths of the best men in America."
An Amendment to the Recruting Act- July 1780
"and any Person who, either before or after the said Draft, shall enlist an able bodied Soldier to serve, in his Stead, during the War, shall upon delivering him to the County Lieutenant or Commanding Officer of the Militia of his County (or Corporation), and taking his Receipt be exempted from all future Military Service, other than in the Militia; the Soldiers so enlisted shall receive the Bounty allowed by this Act, and be marched with other Recruits in the Manner herein after directed. "
To Thomas Jefferson - October 1780
"This will be deliver'd you by my Son William, who commands the Militia Company ordered from this county to Carolina: the men are mostly Voluntiers; who turned out from the Battalion at large, without any Regard to the Divisions to which they belonged; there are among them several Soldiers, & three or four Serjeants, who have served out their Time in the Virginia Line on continental Establishment; so that I look upon it to be equal to any Militia Company in the State. I entreat you Sir to order them to be furnished with good Musquets & Bayonets &c. It is a most discouraging Circumstance to a young-fellow to lead Men into Action, without proper Arms; and I fear the former Regiments of Militia, serving to the Southward, have thrown away & lost so many of their Arms, that they can have little Dependence in being properly supplyed, on their Arrival at Hill's borough."
To George Mason Junior- June 1781
"Your Brother William writes you by this Opportunity. He returned some time ago, from South Carolina, where he commanded a Company of Voluntiers (75 fine young fellows from this Country). He had rough Campaign of it, and has acquired the Reputation of a vigilant & good officer; and I think is greatly improved by the Expedition. Your Brother Thomson has lately returned from a Tour of Militia-Duty upon James River; He commanded a Platoon, in a pretty close Action at Williamsbourg, & behaved with proper Coolness & Intrepidity. He is now from Home, or wou'd have wrote to you...The Enemy's capital Object, at this time, seems to be Virginia. General Philips died lately in Petersburg; upon which the Command of the British Troops there devolved upon Arnold. But Ld. Cornwallis quitting North Carolina, has since join'd Arnold, with about 1200 Infantry & 300 Cavalery & taken the Chief Command of their Army in Virginia, now consisting of about 5000 Men: They have crossed James River and by the latest Accounts were at Westover; their light Horse having advanced as far as Hanover Court House: They have burn'd Pages Warehouses, where the greatest Part of the York River Tobacco was collected; they had before burn'd most of the Tobacco upon James River, and have plunder'd great part of the adjacent Country. The Marquis De La Fayette is abt. twenty Miles below Fredericksburg with about 1200 regulars & 3000 Militia, waiting the arrival of General Waine, with abt. 1500 regular Troops of the Pensylvania Line....
...God bless you, my dear Child! and grant that we may again meet, in your native Country, as Freemen; otherwise, that we may never see each other more, is the Prayer of. Your Affectionate Father. "

Police solve Fairhaven break-in
Published 8:00 pm, Sunday, April 5, 2009
HURON COUNTY— The Huron County Sheriff's dive team was called Saturday afternoon to help recover two long guns dumped in the Pigeon River following a break-in at a Fairhaven Township home.
Deputy Ryan Neumann of the Huron County Sheriff's Office responded to a home along Unionville Road, just south of Bay Port, Saturday after the homeowner's father called 9-1-1 to report the break-in.
The caller, Thomas Patrick, told police he went to check on his son's summer home Saturday morning and discovered the home had been broken into and damage was reported inside the home.
Patrick told police he heard something while he was checking the home and reported two suspects, who were still inside the home, fled into the woods. Neumann said when he arrived on the scene he noticed four-wheeler tracks near the Michael Patrick home, leading him to the home of one of the alleged suspects.
Reports indicate the juvenile suspects, a 12-year-old male from Bay Port and a 13-year-old male from Owendale, are believed to have been going into the home, along with a number of other juveniles, for weeks before the two were caught on Saturday.
Neumann said the heat in the home had been turned up to 70 degrees, and liquor, video games and two long guns were among the items reported missing.
The matter remains under investigation.

I'm a daydreamer with a crazy imagination. Of course, I have my problems (solid and consistent motivation being one of them) but if I successfully lock on to a particular strong desire, my persistence is such that I could be gunning at my goal for hours on end, sometimes until I get what I'm gunning for.

Reviews: Clannad
Watch The First, Consider The Second
I feel that I need to make a distinction here. Clannad and Clannad ~After Story~ are two different shows who just happen to share a setting and characters. The former is a high school slice-of-life romance/harem anime which was well written and executed. The latter, a darker, more cynical continuation which explores issues of family, responsibility and, of all things, death. Which, coincidentally, was written even better. I'll start with the things that both share. I watched the dub, and the voice acting was pretty good, by my standards at least. The voices suited the characters well and remained consistent throughout both seasons. The animation and art style in general were also pretty decent, nothing stood out as bad and quite a few moments that I would hesitantly call 'great'. The scenes in (for lack of a better term) 'the other world' especially, were done really well. But here come the differences. The first series is a light-hearted comedy/romance anime with harem aspects (although it's pretty damn clear who is going to 'win' that) with a lot of nice, heart warming moments. The second series tends more towards the Tear Jerkers. Admittedly the heart warming moments are all the more so because of shed tears, but still... After the first few episodes, the comedy aspect is gone and the romance follows suit soon after. Then it gets darker and I wouldn't be entirely wrong to call it a tragedy from that point onwards. The OVA's, made specifically to please the shipping fans (a group to which I belong, much to my shame), deserve a special mention. Their stories are separate from the actual plot and are essentially the 'what if' scenarios for the other members of the harem from the first season. I can't quite put my finger on why (probably because I can pretend that my ship wasn't sunk, but hell will freeze over before I admit that), but they gave me a nice sense of closure. For a recommendation: I would suggest that if the romance/harem aspect appeals to you, then you should definitely watch the first series. As the second falls under a... different heading, I would suggest that only those who loved the plot of the first and want to see it through to its conclusion stick with it. As for those who enjoy that warm, fuzzy feeling: approach with caution, but still watch it.
Easily the best among the three Key Ani works.
Clannad combines Slice Of Life, Romance, Angst, Family, Comedy, and Fantasy in one cohesive setting. A Genre Buster if I've ever seen one. Beware of SPOILERS!!! Plot: 10/10 The idea of Tomoya helping Nagisa gain confidence by helping her reestablishing the Drama Club was a foreshadowing of Tomoya's Jerk With A Heart Of Gold nature, as he really acts like a Jerkass sometimes, especially towards Sunohara. He does inadvertently gather his harem in this manner, but he really shows how sincere he is in helping them. The second season was great in showing how Tomoya matured from the lazy delinquent he was in high school into the hard-working person he was since that point. The Character Development was really realistic, as since he had a steady girlfriend, he decided to get his act straight in life. The buildup towards Nagisa's death was brilliantly done, a Player Punch if I've ever seen one. Crying is the only option. When Nagisa died, Tomoya showed a very human reaction: regret. His in-laws were all supportive of him during those trying times, so they'd be an example of the ideal in-laws. Tear Jerker moments abound here, and none of them were uncalled for. Lastly, the ending fully encompasses the fantasy element of the series. While many people view it as a Deus Ex Machina Reset Button Ending, the game has this as the "True Ending," so it was justified. Art: 10/10 Kyo Ani worked on it. Need I say more? Themes: 9/10 The OP for both seasons and the second season ED was of superb quality. However, Dango Daikazoku felt a bit out of place IMO, although aside from being Nagisa's favorite, Rule Of Cute applies. Overall: 10/10 Clannad is a story about life. Many valuable lessons in life can be gained from this series, as most of the dilemmas are realistic enough for most viewers to relate to. Tomoya and Nagisa's love for each other is an ideal romantic relationship. The Drama Club is a true Nakama; they've always got each other's back, no matter how difficult the situation may be. The animation is of superb quality, and the pacing was just right. One of the best series ever.
The Crying Game
It bears mentioning that Kanon is but a mere dress rehearsal when compared to what Clannad attempts, which is to not so much tug at your heartstrings as practise virtuoso nineteenth century harp concertos on them. Laughed when Bambi's mother died? Think Grave Of The Fireflies would be much improved with the addition of a riff track? Clannad invites you to bring it on. It would be redundant to summarise the plot: partly because the previous reviewer has already done so admirably, but also because it's not wildly divergent from others in the genre (especially with regard to its elder siblings). Boy meets girl; everybody cries. In a welcome departure from the norm, though, the canon relationship is allowed to develop organically throughout both seasons, and its presence is still strong in arcs ostensibly focussed on other characters. The militant 'leave not a dry eye in the house' approach favoured by the writers may legitimately be found manipulative: the last act of ~After Story~ is emotional extortion of the most baldfaced variety, and one starts to wonder how much more of a trauma magnet they can make out of Tomoya. It's not that all the major narrative devices are designed to push viewers' buttons, it's that they're employed with somewhat predictable alacrity. By ~After Story~, you're practically counting down the number of episodes before it's time to reach for those tissues; towards the end, you're counting in minutes. I make it sound like this is a bad thing; quite the opposite, really. After all, drama serves to exercise the audience's emotions. Even if the resolution of the central tragedy invokes the supernatural with an easy convenience, it's not as if you can say it was undeserved. In keeping the True End mechanic of the visual novel intact, the spirit of the game's ending is faithfully preserved: they say it's darkest just before dawn, and it's nice to have the ensuing cartharsis. Which is a fancy way of describing how relieved I was that it didn't end on what could have been one of anime's bleakest notes. So, who else fears the worst for the inevitable Little Busters adaptation?

VQS Rumblefish
VQS Surf Series
Matosinhos Portugal
14 - 15 September 2013
Alba Lloves from Galicia shines bright in event
Surfersvillage Global Surf News, 25 September, 2013 : - - The second stop of the Rumblefish VQS showed up at the North again after a few years of absence. The lack of waves made us move it to the alternate beach at Leça. The howling wind didn't stop 80 kids from destroying the fun 3 to 4 foot waves with the occasional bigger sets.
Looking good in the morning it turned pretty hard to surf due to the strong wind that started around noon. Especially for the Squids who bravely battled the waves kicking and screaming. Stand outs on Saturday were the under 13 and under 16 division. Marco Mignot at the former, João Moreira, João Maria and Tomás Ferreira at the latter looked impressive and decided about winning the whole thing.
Alba Lloves from Galicia stood out also at the girls Division as well as little girl Francisca Veselko in the Squids Division. Due to the strong winds and to the quantity of competitors we decided to finish the contest the next day hoping for waves at the main spot in Matosinhos.
Sunday morning and another flat day, so we were back to Leça. The Rumblefish still had a long way to go and it went all the way to the finals there except the squids final as the waves were bigger than the day before and the wind stood strong. The little ones had their final in Matosinhos in small conditions and rip it as much as possible. In the end José Maria Ribeiro came out on top, closely followed by Francisca Veselko who ripped the small waves on her 4'8''.
Marco Mignot beat the competition in the 13 and under division pulling the move of the contest, a unsuspected 360 air reverse. João Moreira won the 16 and Under leaving the winner of Rumblefish with Tomás Ferreira filling the 2nd spot, Vasco Monica in third and in fourth Amado.
At the 20 and Under Divison João Monteiro took the honors followed by Luis Monteiro, Ricardo Pinho and Gonçalo seabra. In the girls division Alba lloves couldn't keep up with her previous day performance and finished 4th, Luisa Villas Boas 3rd and Andreia Pereira 2nd. Thus leaving Francisca Cunha who showed some good surfing battling her way into 1st spot. All in all two days of good fun and great surfing.
Big thank you to "Xerife" from Espinho and his crew, Miguel Leitão and the rest of the judges who did a great job, to Pedro from Tabua surfboards, Diogo and Miguel for keeping up the contest running and to everyone (parents and kids) who drove hundreds of miles to be there. To all the Northern coaches and parents for being the nicest people. Thank you and see you next year.

Even though news has been slow the entire week due to the fact that it's summer and people are more interested in vacation than in technology news, we still had a lot of interesting stuff this week. Google obviously captured the headlines with its Chrome OS, but we also talked about Mono, Richard Stallman, and many other things.

Yeah, there's so much covering over Google this week that was sickening!
Not blaming Thom who does a great jobs reporting news, but everyone else all the sudden wanting to join in the Google OS hoax! (Tho Chromium Gets Native Theming on Linux was a bit unnecessary too)
Anyways, I hope next week is google-free.

The Times reports on Monday on the transformation of Southbury, Conn., into a town of senior citizens — a foreshadowing of the changes to come in many American towns.
Elderly people are now a greater portion of the population than at any time since the government began keeping track, and the Northeast, not warm weather retirement Meccas like the South and Southwest, has the largest percentage of people 65 and older, according to the Census Bureau….
Once dairy farming country, Southbury is now a place where the elderly are not just the dominant demographic but increasingly, the engine of the economy and the focus of town life. For now, it works. Long term, it may get more complicated.
"When Heritage Village first came in, it was us versus them," said First Selectman Bill Davis, speaking about the sprawling 55-and-over complex with 1,000 acres and about 4,000 residents, which opened in 1967. "But now, almost anything we do we take them into account. That's who we are. We're an elderly-based community."

New Raiders head coach Dennis Allen had "no comment," a Raiders spokesman said, about the NFL report today that the New Orleans Saints issued $1,000 and $1,500 bounties on opposing players' heads. Allen was the secondary coach for the Saints from 2007-2010, and the NFL said the Saints broke the rules and issued the bounties from 2009-2011.
Former Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams, now with the Rams, quickly apologized for his role in the bounty program. He was implicated in the report, as well as owner Tom Benson, general manager Mickey Loomis, coach Sean Payton and 27 players.
New Orleans players put money into into the program and were paid in cash after the game — $1,000 for causing a player to be carted off the field and $1,500 for knocking a player out of the game. (It doesn't sound like much, but the fact that it came in cold, hard cash from other players, complete with bragging rights, increased the value exponentially.)
"It was a terrible mistake, and we knew it was wrong while we were doing it," Williams said. "Instead of getting caught up in it, I should have stopped it. I take full responsibility for my role. I am truly sorry. I have learned a hard lesson and I guarantee that I will never participate in or allow this kind of activity to happen again."
The players I talked to today were not surprised by the report nor did they want to comment on it. Former 49ers safety Ronnie Lott told the Los Angeles Times such bounties were "commonplace."
While the players involved in the bounty program will get fined, I suspect that commissioner Roger Goodell will have to take a draft pick or two away from the Saints if he really wants to send a message to the rest of the league.
