A brand new eight-part remake of the lost archive drama A Case for Paul Temple, starring Crawford Logan and Gerda Stevenson.
From 1938 to 1968 crime novelist and detective Paul Temple and his Fleet Street journalist wife Steve solved case after case in one of BBC Radio's most popular series. Now the glamorous duo return to the airwaves to break a mysterious drug-running gang.
Post-war London is buzzing with speculation about the deaths of ten young drug addicts within the space of just one week. The police are desperate to cut off supplies of heroin and cocaine to the capital, but they are struggling. So Sir Graham Forbes turns to Paul Temple. By fast car and police launch, on deserted houseboats and midnight beaches, in dodgy East End pubs and smart West End restaurants, braving booby traps, bullets and blazing houses, Paul and Steve pursue the ruthless and feared drug dealer known only as 'Valentine'.
This new production for BBC Radio 4 uses the original scripts, vintage sound effects and much of the original incidental music from the missing 1946 production. As far as possible it is a technical and stylistic replica of how that production might have sounded if its recording had survived.

"Good story ok cast."
The story is good, dislike the intro every time, with recap on ep before, but that's how it was transmitted originally. The soundtrack and cast all act well it's jus I dint0 particularly like the actors voice, playing temple, or Gareth thomas' voice playing sir Graham Forbes. Perhaps if he was more like Peter cokes' soft voice, as in the vandyke affair, it would be OK. Nothing against him but coke was the best temple. Good eps. Too. Much use .buy it see what you think.
great, was hooked from the beginning. loved every minute of it. couldn't put it down
"By Timothy another cracking case for the Temples"
What a fabulous story line. Excellently acted a la period with all the old favourites. And you know who did it. Don't you know listener......don't you know who Valentine is!
"Brilliant Paul Temple - Love it ❤"
Classic Paul Temple. Makes me laugh out loud. These are so full of fun. Some may find these old fashioned & tame but they are a real treat & last for hours. The way Paul talks to his wife is amusing. ❤Love it.
"Lost story lives again"
This is a new recording of a Paul Temple story which had been lost from the archives.
Using many of the sound effects used in old recordings together with some pleasing performances by the actors, this production should appeal to fans of the series.
The producers have taken their time to make this enjoyable to listen to. They have even included resumes of the previous chapter, just in case you need to stop listening and come back to it. Crawford Logan as Paul and Gerda as Steve are actors whose voices are most suited to their roles. There is not a bad performance in the entire cast. Allowing for a few cliched accents here and there. As with most of the paul temple series, you get lulled into cozy chats about country houses and pink gins, and then suddenly somebody is found dead. You need to concentrate or you miss the important bits.
"Enjoyable if you like Old Time Radio Mysteries."
Having cut my teeth on the "Golden Age of Radio" in America I have always loved this genre and have come to especially enjoy the BBC's production of the Paul Temple series. Though I feel Peter Coke and Marjorie Westbury make a better sounding Paul and Steve, Crowford Logan and Gerda Stevenson do a very fine job in this episode. In my opinion the BBC production of this series far out ranks anything done on this side of the pond. The sound effects are excellent and the dialogue is fast and crisp.
On the reality side of things Francis Durbridge seems to have had one basic receipt for his stories and each episode is not that different from another. There is also the matter that realistically the "Yard" hardly needs a writer to solve all the major crimes in Britain. That being said, if you're able to shift your mind back into a simpler time and just want to relax with a very fine production of old time radio entertainment, then this series will not disappoint.
"Old time radio plus British drama mostly works"
I'm a big fan of British drama and old time radio. I think we use the visual world far too much, and audio allows more scope for immagination. I have one of the original Paul Temple recordings. This does a pretty good job of simulating the old ones, but not quite. I will listen to it again, and perhaps find more in it. It was fun, and would be a great car listen that won't embarrass you in front of young children because of language or unsuitable situations.
There are better British dramas out there, but I do rather like Paul and his wife Steve.

The Freedom in Christ (FIC) course is used by many churches in the region, often as a follow-up to Alpha and is a way to help new Christians get off to a flying start. The course will be held on Wednesday afternoons at St Stephen's church in Norwich starting on February 8.
There is teaching element of the course - in the form of a DVD presentation by founder of FIC Steve Goss. There is a practical application component as well. The FIC course covers different topics each week ranging from 'Who am I now' to sections on 'the world, the flesh and the devil' and finishing with 'where are you heading' and 'staying on the right path'.
Tim Coe, the Regional Co-ordinator for FIC said, "The beauty of Freedom In Christ is it's about the application of God's word. It's about making decisions with regards to action. We've found it very helpful pastorally. It challenges people to pray through the specifics for their lives in a Biblical way. We now have an experienced team of leaders and God is blessing this ministry."
St Stephens Church, Rampant Horse St, Norwich NR2 1QP
Starting on Wednesday 8th February at 2 - 4pm for 14 weeks.

Let's talk about the current debate on philosophical approaches to economical prosperity.
I did not support either candidate because I think both of them are wrong.
Cutting taxes to the "job creators" has not stimulated job growth. What stimulates job growth is when people re-invest their money into their businesses. They create jobs, those people buy things, more companies hire to keep up with demand...etc...etc...etc.
Tax cuts (which I personally love but I see the paradox here) generally end up in personal bank accounts, not in business expansion or investment. People get tax credits when they actually invest in business so...the twist to all of this is if you place a tax on profit, the business owner/investor is faced with a decision. Put their money into use/circulation, or it will be taxed. This is the other side of the coin that some people do not realize. When people have to make the choice to use their money or lose it in taxes, they will generally "use it"...which in the long run will eventually come back to them in increased production.
It is an odd circumstance. I fully understand you cannot tax the rich enough to solve the financial problems facing the country. I also understand that they do hold the keys to turning things over, but in a different way. IF the tax breaks were "creating jobs" like we are often told, that would be great...but that is not what is happening. Wall Street numbers have basically returned to the levels pre-recession...corporations and investors are making just as much money as they ever did. There is, however, no incentive for them to "use" that money creating jobs
So, they are hoarding it rather than re-investing it. If they want tax breaks, invest your money in business expansion...what we have been trying is not working for the average person.
It is a conundrum for sure.
Start with labor laws and change the requirement for corporations to make absurd profits and we'll be on our way to healthy America.
Certainly, here in the UK, THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH JOBS TO GO ROUND.
In the end, jobs are not the problem. What is the problem is the price of goods and services compared to the minimum wage you are guaranteed to receive.
This generation is bloody lazy.
The reason we don't have enough jobs and why some jobs do not pay enough money to allow some people to make ends meet...is because we have State and Federal Jobs and entire click of these self anointed Budget Black Holes draining State and Federal Funds to the extent that it makes EVERYTHING more expensive.

I don't know, but I caught a bit of 60 Minutes on CBS tonight and they said manufacturers had 3 million jobs waiting to be filled but the schools are putting out such idiots these days that can't spell, write, do math, focus, learn..... that the jobs are going unfilled. That is all I heard... nothing about the pay but the people making this statement and the scenes behind them made it seem fairly technical yet doable.... and from many of the young people I have talked too.... I'm scared for their future and ours. Our public schools are letting people out of school that are in no way prepared for a real job and real life. Not to say everyone, of course! But nothing compared to my schooling. We import engineers for a reason!

That is the crux of the problem, apathy and lethargy are through the roof.
Why work when I can have stuff giving to me on someone else's dime.
The number of people looking to take advantage of the system is growing.

The first signature hotel will be Grand Central by Scandic in Stockholm, with another launch planned for Stockholm in spring 2016 and further ones planned for other Nordic countries, including Norway. Hotels will be characterised by their unique history and character and will be created through the rebranding of existing hotels and the opening of new ones.
Frank Fiskers, president and chief executive of Scandic Hotels said: "Our strong customer offering already attracts both Nordic and international business and leisure travellers as confirmed by our customer surveys and high percentage of repeat customers. By launching a collection of signature hotels, we will realize the hotels' full potential in terms of customer offering and profitability."
The Group's hotel concept HTL, which today includes four hotels in Stockholm and Oslo, will at the same time be tied more closely to the Scandic brand and will change its name to "HTL by Scandic" at the beginning of 2016.

Proposition 13 in Recession and Recovery
Proposition 13 has created wide disparities in property taxes between homes purchased more recently and those owned for many years. Although the steep recession in California from 1991 through 1995 reduced some of these disparities, it also led to a crushing workload for California's understaffed and underfunded property tax assessors' offices. As property taxes fell, hundreds of thousands of residents and businesses filed appeals for reassessment. Many counties are still working through a twelve-to-eighteen month backlog of cases. This report examines disparities in property taxes since the passage of Proposition 13 and the effects on property tax administration in California.

Re: Powells and the Jamestowne Society
In reply to:
Re: Powells and the Jamestowne Society
Hannah Powell 2/09/06
This my lineage:
Ancestors of Gracy Powell
Generation No. 1
1.Gracy Powell, born 02 Sep 1801 in Wake County, North Carolina; died Aft. 1880 in Tallapoosa,Alabama.She was the daughter of 2. Moses Powell, Jr. and 3. Nancy Pope.She married (1) William Moses Peters 15 May 1820 in Clarke County, Georgia.He was born Abt. 1793 in Oglethorpe County, Ga., and died 1882 in Coosa County, Alabama.He was the son of Jesse Peters and Martha ?.
Notes for Gracy Powell:
Gracy was the daughter of Moses Powell and Nancy Pope.She is found in a well documented book entitled "The Virginians" by Thomas Powell and John Hardeman.The book has been used to show her known ancestors back to early Virginia and the Isle of Wight.
Notes for William Moses Peters:
WilliamMoses Peters lived in Carroll County, Ga. in 1835 on land he purchased from his brother-in-law William Little near the town ofTallapoosa and the Tallapoosa River(now Haralson County, Ga).Located thereonis a small family cemetery known as the William M. Peters cemetery.The graves were only marked with field stones and the land has remained in the "Little" family for over 154 years.William was living on Land Lot 272 which he sold shortly before moving his family to Youngsville (now Alexander City Alabama in 1846.He purchased the land in 1835 from William Little.This informationproven by deeds, and Mina Little who is presentlyliving on Land Lot 272 in Haralson County, Ga.
(This information indicates that William Moses Peters and his family lived only thirteen years in Carroll County after he moved from Walton County.)While in Walton County Jesse, William's father, signed over his land to William for a life estate and moved with William to Carroll County.William sold the land given to him by Jesse in 1834 prior to moving to Walton County. The article that followsappeared in the book entitled " History of Haralson County, Ga."by Lois O. Newman and is the reason that Jesse's burial site was found.The following is a true copy of what was in the book.
"William M.Peters is listed in the 1840 Census of Carroll County, living in the 653 GMD.He is not shown in either the 1830 or the 1850 census of Carroll County.He purchased Land Lot #272, or part, located in the 8th District of Carroll County, from William Little 31 December 1835 (Book B, p. 524).He old part or all of the same lot to Joseph Little 19 Oct. 1844.During the period Mr. Peters lived in present Haralson County, he was active in civic affairs of Carroll County. He served on jury duty and as Road Commissioner of 653 GMD and assisted in laying out new roads in the district.William Peters made annual Return of the Estate of William Little (they married sisters) deceased to the Tax Commissioner of Carroll County on 1 July 1844 as Administrator of the Estate of William Little.A small cemetery is located on the William Peters' former property.The graves are unmarked except with native field stones, but it is still known as the Peters' cemetery. It is not known whether Mr. and Mrs. Peters are buried there or if they may have moved away.The cemetery is located on property now owned by Miss Mina Little, a descendant of Joseph Little.Sources:Mina Little, census records, location of cemetery, and tax records."
The Tallapoosa River is within one mile of the woods where the cemetery is located. , The river went to Youngsville, Al. and it can be assumed that the family built flatboats to transport cattle, hogs, chickens, and the family.The river no longer runs that far.It has been dammed.On a small creek nearby (now known as Bennett's creek) some gold has been found.Your compiler hopes that her ancestors found some of it.A small gold mine was also discovered prior to 1840 in Tallapoosa County, Ala.It is presumed that since they did not own lots of land that they were part-time miners as well as hunters and farmers.Records indicate that they moved to Tallapoosa County, Al. in 1846.Tallapoosa County, Alabama also had a gold mine in operation before 1850.
On the 1850 Tallapoosa Al. census (page 99) can be found William, his wife Gracy Powell, and their unmarried children in one household; their daughter Maryann and James E. Clemons in one household with their children;daughter Nancy with her husband Ely Chandler in one house; son William Berry Peters and wife Emeline in another house.Daughter Maryann had married James E. Clements in1838 in Carroll County, but William Berry, Nancy, and son Jonathan Peters all married in Tallapoosa County, Al. before 1850.Son Jesse JeffPeters married Martha Ann Chandler in Carroll County, Ga. in 1856.It is not known if he went to Alabama when his parents did in 1846 and then returned to Carroll County for his wife.There evidently were lots of young healthy members of the family to cut down trees, clear land, and build houses.The Creek Indians left behind dwellings which makes one wonder if they were suitable to live in temporarily.Perhaps our Peters and Clements ancestors lived in one or more of them.
Records prove that William's father Jesse Peters assigned his land whenin Walton County to his son Wiliam for a "life estate".Jesse drew a Pension for wounds received in the Amer. Revolution andwas getting elderly.Jesse died at age 85 while living with William.He received his last pension check in 1839, so it is a logical assumption that William buried his father on his land which was the custom of the times.William's wife Gracy Powell and William Little's wife were sisters and William Peters was named Administrator of William Little's estate.Thurs. April 18, 1839, Carroll County, William M. Peters applies for letter of administration on the estate of William Little, late of said county, deceased,Signed William L. parr, C.C.O.,(Gen.Abstracts from the Ga. Journal Newspaper 1836-1840). Perhaps William Little who died in 1839 is buried in the same cemetery.Mina Little who was brought up on the land there said there were about five unmarked graves in the cemetery.The timbermen who cut the timber there a couple of years ago have destroyed any evidence of a cemetery.
A DAR marker was placed at the Little Sparrow Chapel, home of the Haralson Historical Society in Tallapoosa, Ga. (Harolson County) for Jesse Peters.Abeautiful Memorial Grave Marking Service was put on by the Fielding Lewis DAR Chapter on June 3, 2000 at 11 a.m. with the assistance of the Harolson County Historical Society and the Piedmont SAR Chapter.There were over 200 people in attendance.The memorial service was also dedicated to Jesse Rowell, Harolson County's other American Revolutionary Soldier.There were over 100 descendants of Jesse Peters there.They flew and drove from Main, Minnesota, Texas, California, Florida, Tennessee, Arkansas.A reunion was held at a motel near Tallapoosa and a good time was had by all.This event was filmed and put on video tape.65 copies of the tape were mailed out to attendees.After the service, some of the Jesse's descendants went to the farm where Jesse Peters and his family once lived. His house is not there now but it was a nostalgic feeling just walking where he had once walked.Some people walked to the woods to try to locate Jesse's gravesite but they were not sure that they found it.
Jesse migrated from Wilkes, Oglethrope, Newton,and to Walton County before moving to Carroll with his son William.Census and lottery records prove he was in all of these counties. We know that William Moses's brother John Peters died in Walton County about 1833.It was about this time that William and his father Jesse decided to move to Carroll County.
And Index to Georgia Tax Digest 1789-1817 published by the R. S. Taylor, jr.
Foundation in Atlanta, Ga. list William Peters in:
Oglethorpe County, Ga. in Collier District, 1798, Page 17

PowellRundsom Thompson, J.P., 10 Mar. 1836"This shows that Jesse bought the land from William Little,but sold it after William's death to William's son Joseph Little.The present owners of the land are descendants of Joseph Little's.

Nancy Peters,William Peter'sdaughter, marriedEly Chandler, probably Robert's son.Jesse JeffPeters married Martha Ann Chandler.His niece Martha Jane Peters married Ira Griffin Chandler.Quite a Peters/Chandler connection.
William Peters while in Carroll County (now Haralson)was a road commissioner.Census records show him as a farmer in Tallapoosa County, Al.He is last found on the 1880 Tallapoosa County census, P266, living with his son (Moses) Wilson Peters.His age is shown as 84.Reports are that he died in 1882 at age 86.Gracy was listed on the 1870 census but is missing on the 1880 census, so it can be assummed that she died sometime in between.It is not known what church they attended.No graveshave been located in Alabama yet.Records indicate they were fine law abiding citizens.
William Moses Peters entered into a deed contract to purchase land in Tallapoosa County, Al. in 1844.Page 397 & 398 offirst Deed book in Tallapoosa Co., Al.The deed was filed Sept. 6, 1845 and recorded Jan. 31, 1846.By these dates it can be assumed that he and his family moved to Alabama either in the Spring of 1845 or 1846, however, he could have moved as early as 1844.He purchased more land in 1851 and 1852.The total number of acres not known.How William disposed of the land is not known. It was a Peters custom to give their children land before they died, perhaps William did that. More research needs to be done.

A strange census was found for1870 Tallapoosa Co.,Al.P64It listed the following
House 40Nancy PetersAge 62Keeping house(does not say "widow")
This Nancy would have been born in 1808 or 1807.Could she be connected to the Jesse Peters line? It is possible that Jesse Peters, b. 1753 or one of his brothers had children not yet found.
William and Gracy are both found living in the 1880 census in Coosa County,Al. The census gives his age as 87 and Gracy's as 84.Gracy was only about 79 according to records of her birth.It is not known when they died or where they are buried.On the 1880 census they were living in the Weagufka Beat of Coosa County.The census has page numbers on both sides of the page (p24,p4080).Their house is not numbered but they are clearly in a separate house and their granddaughter S. M. Chandler, age 15 is living with them.W. M. is shown as a Farmer, 200/250 value.S. M. Chandler is the daughter of Nancy Peters and Ely Chandler.

3.Nancy Pope, born 02 Jul 1775 in Wake County, N.C.; died Abt. 1855 in Fulton County, Ga..She was the daughter of 6. William Pope and 7. unknown.
Notes for Moses Powell, Jr.:
This couple had fourteen children.Moses and Nancy had twins and left a family bible that listed all fourteen children.The census taker missed one of the children.Ref:"The Virginians" Vol. I & II by Hardeman and Powell.Because this is primarily a compilation on the PETERS family all of Gracy's siblings are not being shown here. Neither Moses or Nancy left a Will.
Moses, Jr. was born on his parents plantation, just South of the Neuse River on Great (Big) Branch Creek.Moses was the third son to marry one of WILLIAM POPE's daughters. Moses is listed in the Wake County court minutes as being assigned, with his brothers and neighbors, to do road maintenance work.
In 1802 Moses sold his land in N.C. and moved to Clarke County, Ga.Some of the family joined the Mars Hill Baptist Churchin Clarke County and their names appear in the records.In 1820 Moses drew land lot #97, sect. 10, Early Co.The 1823 Clarke Co. tax record shows Moses with 200 acres on waters of Shoal Creek nd 150 acres in Early County.Several of their children married in Clarke County.
In 1826 Moses purchased land lot #315 in 16th Dist. of formerly Henry County then in 1870 it became Newton County.He purchased 202 1/2 acres at a cost of $200 on the waters of the Yellow River.In 1870 this part of Newton was cut off and became Rockdale.It may be located approximately 2 or 3 miles North of Conyers in Rockdale.

Notes for John Powell, Jr.:
John is identified and kept separated from the JOHN POWELLs of this period by his mark which was distinctly different from the others.This mark cannot be shown here because it cannot be created on the computer.
In the book titled "The Virginians" by Powell and Hardeman they prove that Rev. Lucas' earlier book on the Powells has erroneous information regarding this John Powell.They offer as proof the will of ALICE (MURRELL) POWELL's grandfather, WALTER WATERS and state it helps considerably in several ways to clarify and prove date on this JOHN (Ref. WATER's Will, Isle of Wight, W.Bk. #3, 1726-1734, pp. 297-299).WALTER WATERS mentions granddaughter ALICE MURRELL POWELL.When JOHN makes his will he mentions wife ALICE.Walter Waters identifies land carefully in his will.

They lived and died in Isle of Wight Co., VAJohn's mark was very distinctively different from other JOHN POWELLS
JOHN POWELL served on the jury in Isle of Wight Court on 24 Sept. 1696
John and Deborah sell 107 acres to Thomas Jordan.This indenture tells us that JOHN POWELL, a Nansemond Co., planter is married to Deborah Hearn, dau. of HENRY HEARN and that Deborah has two sisters, Elizabeth and Rachael.It tells that HENRY HEARN is deceased and that land was orginally part of THOMAS MANDUE'S Pat.of 20 April 1682 for 320 acres (Ref. Isle of Wight, D. Blk #1, 1688-1704)
Notes for Deborah Hearn:
A note about Henry Hearn, Deborah's father.
In the 1660-70 period the Virginia settlers stayed upset with conditiions that affected their livelihood and in fact their very lives.Governor BERKELEY permitted all types of inequities and did nothing to stop Indian raids.In fact, he would not allow reprisals against the Indians.When the English Monarchy was restored in 1660, the Virginia planters expected an era of prosperity, happiness and protection from the Indians.Instead of gratitude for their loyalty, Charles II increased the oppression and ordered more restrictions and tribute.Tobacco, the main source of income for the planters, dropped in price from three pence a pound to less than half a penny, making it no longer worth raising.
NATHANIEL BACON of Henrico took it upon himself to raise a force and march against the Indians in North Carolina.This action resulted in his being elected to represent Henrico in the House.Governor BERKELEY, his Council and the House of Burgess was assembled.A large crowd of planters and rough frontiersmen joined BACON in his demanding a rectification of the laws.The presence of this force assured enactment of a large number of Bills aimed at correcting the many abuses by various persons in office.People from Isle of Wight presented twenty-six (26) grievances, 5 March 1676/7, after the Commissioners announded that Governor BERKELEY had sailed for England, and that KING CHARLES II would protect informers and petitioners who would present themselves and state their cases.
One of the rebels, WILLIAM WEST, who had been captured on 16 Jan. 1677 when leading a force against a loyal fort, was the subject of a petition drawn up and signed by 'His Majesties most loyal and obedient subjects of Isle of Wight".
It appears that many signers were either active rebels or sympathizers for the lost cause.HENRY HEARN was one of the signers of this petition Oct. 1677.By 1680 prosperity and peace had returned to the Isle of Wight.

Notes for George Murrell, Sr.:
In Quaker records this surname is spelled MURRELL;on the early Tithable List, Wills and Indentures MORRELL or some other variation is found.This family did exactly like their neighors in the early period of the coloies - they moved.Before the Revolution, some were found in Lunneburg, Bedford, and Henry Counties of Virginia and several area of North Carolina.
On the Tithable List of 1678 in Surry, GEORGE MURRELL is listed.GEORGE is listed again on the 1683 Lawne's Creek Tithales and the 1688 list.On the list of June 10, 1694, D, Bk. 1694-1709 pp.21-23, GEORGE, SR. and GEORGE, JR. appear.This indicates that GEORGE, JR. was born between 1672 and 1678.On the 1698 list HUMPHREY, and THOMAS MURRELL are added, and they all four reappear on the list of June 2, 1702.
GEORGE MURRELL was identified as a Foot Soldier and a Quaker on the Surry Co., Militia List of 1687 and as qualified "to find and maintain a man and horse or go himself when occasion shall require."
Ref:List of Surry Co., Militia as of Oct. 19, 1687, W.&M. Vol. XI pp.81-86.Ref:Isle of Wight D, Bk.#2, 1688-1715, pp. 30-31, RICHARD and ANN BENNETT of Upper Parrish sell to GEORGE MURRELL of
Lawne's Creek Parish in Co. of Surry, 150 acres on West side of Pocatink Swamp, July 7, 1685.
The early Quaker Records of Chuckatuck Public Meeting House show that GEORGE MURRELL, son of GEORGE and ELIZABETH MURRELL of Surry Co., and Mary Waters, daughter of Walter and Alice Waters of Isle of Wight, on Jan. 9, 1703 and Feb. 13, 1703 published their intention of marriage.They were married in the Public Meeting House on the Western Branch of the Nansemond River on Feb. 6, 1704.
The fact that GEORGE, a Quaker, was willing to bear arms and was registered as a Foot Soldier on call in 1687 is worthy of note.

39.Alice Laramore (widow)
Notes for Walter Waters:
The surname WATERS is found spelled WATTERS, WALTERS, AND WATERS.In documents that the Clerk recorded the name varies from one end of the record to the other.The early Quaker Records of The Public Meeting House at Chuckatuck show the name correctly as "WATERS".Colonial History makes references to members of various ''WATERS' families who were affiliated with the Quakers and many are listed as immigrants.
In the Isle of Wight records, Pat. #8, 1689-1695, pp.2, 3, EDMOND JENNINGS is listed as receiving 6513 acres on the James River, 20 Oct. 1689, for importing 131 persons that included WALTER WATERS.It is assumed that this is probably the WALTER WATERS we are concerned with.From Court Records we do know that Walter was marr. to Mrs. ALICE LARAMORE before 2 April 1687 (W&D Bk. #2), p.64 &284.

Notes for Thomas Powell:
POWELL - This name can have four origins, two English, one Irish, and one Welsh.Edward Powell and Wenefrid Powell (his wife) were among the ill-fated Roanoke Island Colony of 1587.Some early immigrants from England to Virginia were John Powell, who came over in 1609, may be the John Powell who held 150 acres of patented land in Elizabeth City County in 1626.Thomas Powell came over in 1618 and another Thomas was a passenger on the ship Seaflour and was living at Hog Island in 1624.Nathaniell Powle held 600 acres of patented land around 1626.There were at least 4 Captains named William Powell, two are listed as holding patented land in James City around 1626.The 1884 edition of Burke's General Armory describes the many coats of arms.The glossary may help in drawing your own.
Your compiler has done no real research on the Powells since it has already been done by more qualified researchers.Information has been taken from book entitled "The Virginians" Vol. I and II by Hardeman and Powell.Sources have been cited in these books and they have been well researched.
The area of prime importance to the early history of this POWELL family was Isle of Wight Co., VA.
It was one of the original Shires established in 1634 as Warascoyack.The name was changed in 1637.
There were a number of Powells in Virginia before and after the Indian massacre of 1622.The list of persons living in Virginia, 16 Feb. 1623, shows a THOMAS POWELL as living on Hogg Island.This area later becomes Surry County.
Thomas Powell, the Progenitor of this line receivd a grant for 100 A. of land on 10 June 1637, located on the Southside of the Nansemond River in the Upper County of New Norfolk.This grant was for the transportation of self and a servant Robert Floyd.Disposition of this 100 A. is not found in the record. On the same grant THOMAS POWELL was given 200 A. about one mile from "the plantation of the said THOMAS POWELL for the transportion of four (4) persons".The description mentioned "POWELL'S Neck to POWELL'S Point" southside of "Dumplin Island Creek".From this is learned that THOMAS owned land in the area prior to 10 June 1637.
To better understand "grants for transportation of persons into Virginia" a few quotes from Cavaliers and Pioneers--Nugent, (pp xxiv, xxv) are helpful.
"For the purpose of stimulating immigrantion and the settlement of the Colony (Virginia) the London Colony ordained that any person who paid his own way to Virginia should be assigned 50 acres of land 'for his owne personal adventure', and if he transported 'at his own cost' one or more persons he should,for each person whose passage he paid, be awarded fifty acres of land ---Among the headrights are found persons of all social classes, nobility and gentry, yeomanry, indentured servants (some of good family and connection in Eengland), and negroes---It is not to be assuemd that claim for land in consequence of a person transported was made immediately after the arrival of the 'headright' in the Colony.There is, for instance, record of a patentee awarded land for the transportation of three wives, who, it is safe to conclude, were successive.The headrights may have arrived in the Colony long before the patentee had entered claim for land therey due.Nor it it to be assumed that the headright
is necessarily an immigrant.Even men of prominence in the Colony, through a voyage, or repeated voyages to England and return, appear as'Headrights' of friends or relaties, who acquitted the cost of the passage in order to obtain the consequent land-----."
The main point about the 10 June 1637 grant is the reference to an existing plantation.An existing grant that he received, 200 acres, for transporting four (4) persons (at an earlier date*).*Available records show this 200 acre tract was disposed of to THOMAS POWELL.
Some past genealogists have suggested that THOMAS POWELL of Hog Island (on the James River just north of Isle of Wight County) in 1623 after some of the problems with the Indians may have moved to the Isle of Wight Co.This sounds very logical.No research was made to learn if this could be true- possibly because I assumed that THOMAS POWELL of Hog Island was 21 years of age by the 1623 date used to identify him - therefore born c. 1602.In monioring our Progenitor THOMAS POWELL we "pick him up" in 1637, born at least by 1614-16 and with his known death, 1687, we have a long life of 70-72 years.This does not rule out THOMAS of Hog Island, but it surely requires checking.
In succeeding years persons obtained grants for land around THOMAS POWELL and these (copies of originals from Va. Archives, not published abstracts) were examined carefully to assist in identifying the location of the land of THOMAS POWELL and to assist in identifying his neighbors and provide an accurate accounting of the time he lived there.
Study and research show that THOMAS POWELL spent fifty (50) years in the same general location.Most of the settlers in the area raised tobacco in large quantities.It is assumed that THOMAS was a planter and raised tobacco also.
THOMAS POWELL wrote his will 12 July 1683.It was probated 9 Feb. 1687/8.From his will it was learned that he had two sons,William (his wife Elizabeth mentioned in will) and NATHANIEL (his wife
LUCRETIA mentioned in will) was identified as being deceased and that his widow LUCRETIA was married to JOHN CORBETT.THOMAS bequeathed one-half of his land to WILLIAM and one-half to
the four (4) sons of NATHANIEL (THOMAS, NATHANIEL, WILLIAM, AND JOHN).There was also a special prevision made to these four grandsons--"oblige them and their heirs that they shall not make sale of any part or parcell of the said land to any person whatsoever unless it be from the one to the other"--. Witnesses were THOMAS GRIFFIN and FRANCIS HUTCHINS.The identify of the wife of THOMAS has not been learned.Note:Francis Hutchins was married to a Sarah Powell and owned 200 acres on Beaver Dam Creek adjacent to the lands of THOMAS POWELL.Was Sarah a daughter of Thomas'?
It is a fact that THOMAS named one of his sons WILLIAM and one NATHANIEL both given names of earlier prominent POWELLS.It is suggested that any attempt to establish a connection between THOMAS and CAPT. NATHANIEL OR CAPT. WILLIAM be double-checked carefully and proven before passing such data along to others.
Of Interest!The inventory of Thomas' estate showed "Lott of shoemakers tools, carpenter tools and coopers tools".Many of the early Powell men were listed as Planters, Carpenters, and Coopers.

Does anyone have any ideas on removing the 1/4 " drain plug from a hydraulic control valve on a Case 222? First I tried just a plain allen wrench that didn"t work. Then a allen wrench in socket that didn't work. Then I tried my electric impact wrench that didn't work. Then took it to a hydraulic repair shop they tried it until the corners were rounded off and can't you a allen wrench on it any more. Someone told me to try a easy out on it now. Do I dare to heat it up. Or is that risking a chance of cracking the valve or doing other damage to the valve? I know before heating it the O Rings would need to be removed first. A step I would like to eliminate. Also I put Kroil Oil on it a couple of days prior of trying to take it out. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Well you can try to get the next size allen in there and spin it out...next you can drill a hole with a drill stop of course and attempt to use an ez out, or you can wedge in the largest allen you can fit in there and give it a quick zap with a welder on a couple of sides and spin it out. if that doesn't work drill out the interior...cut new threads in the drain plug and put a bolt in there...my ideas...

Posted January 20, 2012 - 11:34 PM
I agree, a reverse tap would be the next option
- Twood said thank you
Posted January 21, 2012 - 09:34 AM
If its pipe thread, try tightening it a little. The taper on a pipe thread will go in easier than it will come out. After it moves it should come right out. Can you weld a bolt head in the allen and use a nut on the bolt to turn it.

Posted January 21, 2012 - 09:53 AM
Maybe you could try giving it a few wacks with a punch and then use an easy-out , if you don't have the short muti style ones you might have to grind the end down to get the correct fit on the longer style easy-outs , Al

Try using a torx socket. find the closest size that won't quite go into the hex recess and then drive it in. The torx ridges should cut into the plug and maybe provide enough bite to get it out. Oh, and using a punch in the bottom of the hole first helps too, and don't spare the oomph when hitting the punch!

After several attempts myself and once from a person that bought some parts from my parts tractor it finally came out. What finally got it was putting PB Baster on it for 2 or 3 days while waiting for my new set of Snap On multi spline extractor set to come. The first two sizes slipped probably because I didn't drill the hole. The third time I drilled the proper size hole 11/32". I didn't drill all the way through the plug just deep enough for the extractor to get a good bite. With a big breaker bar and a lot of pressure it finally came loose. What a good feeling. That extractor set was well worth the money. Tried another set made in Taiwan but the edges broke off. Wish it was easier to buy good American made tools.:smile1:
- mikebramel and CASENUT have said thanks
Posted February 04, 2012 - 05:37 PM
I'm glad you got it out and even happier that you shared the solution with us. I couldn't offer any advice that hadn't already been posted. Snap-On is expensive, but less expensive than a cheaper tool that only serves to take up room in a toolbox because it doesn't work.
Posted February 12, 2012 - 02:25 AM
I agree with the whole 'Snap On' concept, But infrequently do I run into stuff that HF tools 'won't work' in those instances, you just gotta 'pay the piper' and you end up with some quality stuff out of the deal!

Honey Wind
- (Duplicated CD)
- Artist: Jim Chappell
- Format: CD
- Release Date: 4/18/2007
|your cart is empty
My experience creating Honey Wind was a nice surprise for me. By that I mean it is probably 90% "first take" improvisations, as opposed to me sort of slaving over my arrangements and presentations of my music, which is the way I usually approach things. During my live shows one of the experiences I've always enjoyed was having an unplanned audience volunteer come onstage and plunk out 3 notes of their choosing. The idea being I would attempt to weave those 3 notes into a full piece, right there in front of everyone. Lucky enough for me, as time went on I got better at this and it has become one of the highlights of my concerts! This process sort of tapped me on the shoulder one evening in my recording studio and said "Why not just try it now? Just keep doing takes of some little melodic inspired thing that you can pretend someone else gave you. Try to make full pieces flow from each little riff and let the music take you where it will. If you do enough of these you'll probably have a nice variety of songs you can choose from and create a whole CD for release if you want." So concerning the creation of Honey Wind, to make my little story come 'round here, that's exactly what I did. I sort of just flowed along with the process and didn't really listen to the longer version of each improvisation until I had collected 30 or so. I figured I couldn't get too bummed out if they didn't really turn out, because out of 30 there would have to be a few good ones! Looking back I suppose I had a lot of trust in myself. Lucky for me I really felt at least half of the pieces had something to say, and my task became more of what to cut from the proposed CD. The whole process of "writing" the music took me only around three weeks. What a blessing with my little three year old daughter always trying to tug on my shoulder these days! Anyway, I do hope you'll give it a listen and see if there is anything there that reaches inside of you and touches that beautiful musical nerve we all carry inside us; that almost spiritual connection we have when we know we're really getting into it. When sound does that we are truly blessed aren't we?

The popular "American Idol†show may go another round with Jennifer Lopez. She announced that after two seasons of sitting next to Randy Jackson and Steve Taylor, she is ready to bid farewell to the show. In her interview with Savannah Guthrie on NBC's "Today†on Thursday morning, the 42-year-old entertainer put her views that she is thinking that it is time to say goodbye to the show as she has other assignments to do. Lopez was there to promote her latest movie Age3: Continental Drift – The Squeakquel: Ghost Protocol and when Guthrie asked if she would be back for Season 12, Lopez replied in the aforesaid manner.
Jennifer Lopez further added that she has signed on the "American Idol†for one year period but ended up doing the show for about two years and for now she is in a dilemma to continue or remain in this show or not. She loves the show so much and had enjoyed doing the show. The whole process of the show has fascinated her and it is quiet a touch decision to leave the show and it is a heart breaking decision if she has to go. Lopez did not give the exact reason about why she most likely would not return.
However, Lopez just hinted that she wanted to get back to other aspects of her life whether it is family, career or for her boyfriend Casper Smart. However, it is not the first time that Jennifer Lopez made her desire to leave "American Idol†publicly in a show. Last year also in an interview with the BBC's Radio 1 she was in two minds about returning to Season 11 only to get back to the show after signing a contract that may be worth $20 million with Fox Broadcasting Network according to some informed sources.

When looking at how auditing works in this modern day and ageof dbus+polkit to get background processes to do work on behalf of auser we were discussing an interface that would pass the informationabout the user to the background server process. The background serverprocess could do some magic such that it still had all the permissionsand rights of itself, but had the audit information of the originaluser. Thus even though it was a server process with uid=0 that did thework, the audit logs could know it was actually on behalf of uid=500. It was discussed passing that token of audit information over an AF_UNIXsocket.-Eric

this looks, no pun intended, too "tempting" to pass up. But after reading your review, I'm a little hesitant. Going to check out some other comments on Amazon, see how much it's going for and then decide whether or not to pull the trigger. Warren Oates is a fav actor of mine!

I just can't resist the plot or list of actors, ordered on AMZ, will post again in a week or two after I view.

Thumbs way up, loved it. This movie is so "drive-in 70's," there were times that I literally thought I was sitting in a car watching it. As to be expected, Warren Oates carried it, he had such great on-screen presence, the girls were great too, awesome to see Lara Parker and Loretta Swit together, and the little twist ending was unexpected, not too pretentious and actually quite funny. Thanks again Peter for your great blog.

I watched this last night. It worked for me, if viewed as a good B movie. Remembered this one from my childhood which says something, I guess. Unfortunately, my wife dozed through it, even the car chase near the end, so you may be right Peter! Still, how often do we get neat little films like this, these days? 7/10

As mentioned in my Opening Day post, I will be leaving town on Friday night and will not return until late Wednesday night. So this post will have my picks for Saturday's feature, the Diana for female turfers and Sunday's feature, the Coaching Club American Oaks for three-year-old fillies.
As I'm writing this, I see that they drew entries for Monday already, so there will be a bonus pick for Monday as well!
My apologies if your comments are slightly delayed in posting. I haven't been getting the usual notifications that I have a comment and I'm sorry if they are not posted immediately.
Here's picks for what should be a gorgeous Opening Weekend at the Spa.
Saturday, July 19th – The Diana, 1 and 1/8 miles (turf)
5 – Strathnaver (10-1 Morning Line)
10 – Tannery (6-1)
4 – Emollient (7-2)
This is a wide-open betting race. I'm going to take a bit of a shot here with STRATHNAVER, who missed by a dirty nose last out on Belmont Day. She is running second-off-a-layoff, which has been a positive move for her in the past. She is a closer who tends to just miss and hasn't won a race in 10 months. That being said, she should be flying at the wire for Motion/Johnny V.
TANNERY's owner and trainer upset this race with Laughing last year and they look to have a contender in this year's Diana as well. She races third off a layoff and is 12-for-22 in the exacta in her career. She has hit the board in five straight and hasn't lost by more than a length and a half during that stretch.
On pure figures, EMOLLIENT appears to be the fastest horse in the race. She likes to be forwardly placed and could have company up front from SOMALI LEMONADE and DISCREET MARQ. She is well-traveled and will be tough to run down.
How you bet the Diana depends a lot on what you do with morning line favorite ALTERITE. She finished last year with a flourish for Chad Brown but hasn't raced since early November. She could very well be the best horse in the race, but coming off such a long layoff is reason for trepidation in this corner.
This is a very evenly-matched Grade I and none in here would be a total surprise.
Sunday, July 20th – The Coaching Club American Oaks, 1 and 1/8 miles
2 – Unbridled Forever (Morning Line Unavailable)
6 – Taketheodds
1 – Stopchargingmaria
Most of these sophomore fillies have been getting their brains beat in by Haskell-bound Untapable so far this year. One of those fillies is UNBRIDLED FOREVER who finished a distant third behind Untapable in back-to-back races this spring, including the Kentucky Oaks. On pure Beyer speed figures, four of her six career races are faster than any other horse in the field has ever run. She gets the tepid nod.
TAKETHEODDS goes out for Ian Wilkes and is the most lightly-raced horse in the field with only four career races. She is improving but is going around two turns for the first time and racing beyond a mile for the first time. She has never finished off the board. She may find herself on the lead in a race void of much speed.
I'm writing this before seeing the morning line and I wouldn't be surprised if STOPCHARGINGMARIA is the favorite when it comes out. She has four wins in eight career starts including a perfect two-for-two at this nine-furlong distance.
Bill Mott has two in here. MISS BESILU cost $2.6 million at the sales and AMERICA is owned by celebrity chef Bobby Flay.
Monday, July 21st – The Shine Again, Seven furlongs
4 – My Miss Aurelia (Morning Line Unavailable)
2 – Grace Hall
3 – Bridgehampton
Only at Saratoga does a $100k ungraded stakes race draw three Grade I winners. This is a small field but it's absolutely loaded with back class.
Former champion MY MISS AURELIA won the first six races of her career and has won all three of her career starts at the Spa. However, she makes her first start in 16 months for new trainer Todd Pletcher. The long layoff is generally no problem for Pletcher horses and she has been working well for her return.
GRACE HALL had her own long layoff of 13 months before returning in May for new trainer Bill Mott. She has finished second in both of her starts this year and is dangerous on the turnback to seven furlongs.
BRIDGEHAMPTON should be on the engine from the gate. This will be her first career race at a distance other than six furlongs and she faces a stiff class test in this heat.
Seeing BETTER LUCKY in here is intriguing as she has raced on turf on synthetic in 12 straight races going back to May of 2012. Her figures are the best in the race, but were all earned on turf.
Alright, there ya go folks! Three big races over three days. It appears the only day I won't have a pick of the day is Wednesday.
Enjoy the opening weekend at the Spa and let me know who ya got and why?
Top Pick Results (0, 0-0-0, $0.00 return on 0 $2 bets on top selection)
