WEEE Regulations:
The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive is now UK law. The legislation aims to make producers pay for the collection, treatment and recovery of waste electrical equipment. The regulations also mean that suppliers of equipment like high street shops and internet retailers must allow consumers to return their waste equipment.
The amount of WEEE we throw away is increasing by around 5% each year, making it the fastest growing waste stream in UK.
- Much of the UK's WEEE ends up in landfill, where the lead and other toxins it contains can cause soil and water contamination. This can have a harmful effect on natural habitat, wildlife and also human health.
- Many electrical items that we throw away can be repaired or recycled. Recycling items helps to save our natural finite resources and also reduces the environmental and health risks associated with sending electrical goods to landfill.
FOMMY is obliged under these regulations to offer our customers free take-back of their WEEE on a like-for-like basis when they buy a new Electrical or Electronic product from us.
For example, if a customer bought a new charger from us we would accept their old charger and prevent it going into a landfill site by disposing of it safely. Customers must return their WEEE item to us within 28 days of purchasing their new item.
Goods are marked with this symbol to show that they were produced after 13th August 2005, and should be disposed of separately from normal household waste so that they can be recycled.
If you would like to take advantage of this service, please email firstname.lastname@example.com and provide the following information:
Order reference:
Invoice Number:
Product or Skus you wish to return:
Your address:
Fommy will send an address that can then be used to post your old units. We will dispose and recycle the received goods appropriate with recycling partners in the UK.
Business 2 Business WEEE Take-Back
If you are a business customer of Fommy, please contact your Account Manager or email firstname.lastname@example.com. A representative will telephone you to discuss the options for WEEE disposal.
Customers experiencing any problems with the return of WEEE are requested to contact Fommy Support directly to resolve the issue.
Fommy.co.uk is working with Defra (Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs) to take back and recycle used batteries free of charge for recycling for customers within the UK.
By recycling your used batteries via dedicated battery collection points you are contributing to protecting our environment and the earth's natural resources.
Batteries are made from important resources and chemicals, including lead, cadmium, zinc, lithium and mercury. If batteries are disposed of as normal municipal household waste, they will be taken to a landfill site and those resources will be lost and will contribute to the pollution of the environment. Recycling is one way you can help the environment and you should dispose of used batteries separately from other waste, using the collection and recycling schemes available.
Your role in contributing to the recycling of waste batteries and in preventing pollution of the environment is essential. Each used battery that you place in a recycling box will be taken apart and many of the materials will be recovered and used to make new batteries or something else.
All batteries are labeled with the crossed-out wheeled bin below, to indicate that they should not be disposed of as normal waste, but in specific recycling centers.
Batteries containing hazardous substances such as mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd) or lead (Pb) are marked with their chemical symbol as well.
How UK Customers Can Recycle Batteries with Defra and Fommy.co.uk
Under the Waste Battery Regulations, www.fommy.co.uk are now offering a take back cheme for all portable waste batteries. You can arrange to give back the used batteries in person at our office in Wythenshawe (please do not post). Alternatively, you can find your local waste portable battery recycling facility at www.recyclenow.co.uk Most supermarkets and shops that sell batteries will have collection bins for used batteries, and some town halls, libraries or schools may also set up collection points. End-users may find stores in their local area more accessible.

Prestashop - issues with tags and updates after moving to cPanel
Bajet $250-750 USD
Before explaining, we want to be very clear that we're looking for long term providers that are affordable and also very experienced with lots of years working on hosting environtments / very experts in Prestashop in this case. Very hoenest people, if you do this fine we will givbe you more tasks of other projects, since we're an agency and have multiple clients / projects, most of them based in WP.
We moved a Prestashop site from a DirectAdmin hoster (where our client was having multiple issues and management problems) to a cPanel server and all works fine, except a couple of things (now three):
1.- Tags not being saved, in product details editor. You can see this here --> [url removed, login to view]
2.- Updates of modules not being really applied. You will see an "All modules updated successfully." message, but nothing vhanged in fact, still "update" message. See here --> [url removed, login to view]
3.- Now client said also some banners are not being shown as before and as configured. See here ( [url removed, login to view] ) and here ( [url removed, login to view] )
Shared cPanel server has multiple domains and all works fine there. No issues with WP and other PHP sites, all it's very nicely optimized. We believe this is a PHP module or somehing that we need to adjust in cpanel, anyway we ask you to check to get a second opinion.
One tech told us after paying 2h of diagnose that problem would be (not really confirmed) with core files and that needs about 8-10h to fix this issues, but as I said not really confirmed. We just wanna verify this is the right way to fix this.
We want to verify that this is correct and we're doing the right way to fix this and other futurte issues. Please, bit 1h to check and give us your second opinion. In the case you know this kind of error, please tell us and let us know. We want to have all this fixed ASAP.
Maybe, if we need so many hours fo fix this, we were thinking that maybe would be better, faster and easier to migrate data over a new prestashop installation ?
We will provide you cpanel, ftp and admin access to prestashop.
Thank you.

Sources tell TMZ Janet Jackson was so "blown away" by the positive reaction to her appearance on the "American Idol" finale that she's "seriously entertaining" a concert tour ... that could begin before the end of the year.
Janet was amazing on Wednesday's "Idol" -- performing "Again," "Nothing," and "Nasty." We're told as of today a concert tour is now on the front burner.
Miss Jackson -- who has only toured once since 2002 (and a bulk of that tour was canceled) is also set to appear at the Essence Music Festival in New Orleans on July 2.

WASHINGTON — An ankle MRI at one doctor's office in downtown Washington costs $400. Move about two miles northwest to another's doctor office, and the price more than quadruples to $1,861. Head out to the Virginia suburbs, and the price jumps $300 more.
This kind of price variation has become common in health-care markets across the country, according to data from Castlight Health. It also highlights how little consumers typically know about the cost of the medical care they receive — and how much leeway hospitals and doctors have in setting prices.
Castlight works with employers to provide transparency into the health-care costs that workers face. The five-year-old company relies on data collected from 3.7 million workers in hundreds of metropolitan areas, creating one of the largest troves of private health price information.
"We realized people were paying more and more out of pocket," Castlight chief executive Gio Colella said. "The average deductible is about $5,000 in an industry where people have little understanding of what they're paying for. We wanted to solve that problem."
Castlight's first study, in 2010, looked at the price of colonoscopies and found that the same doctor's fees could vary fivefold, depending on at which hospital the procedure was performed.
"That part blew me away," said Colella, who has a medical degree and worked as a psychiatrist before founding Castlight. "It didn't make sense to me. My engineers started coming back with data, and I thought there were errors in it."
Their information shows that, nationally, some doctors might charge as little as $92 for a mammogram, while others charge $314. In another example, a chest X-ray can cost $25 to $97.
In some cases, health providers reduced their fees once Castlight made the price data public. One Midwestern hospital cut the cost for outpatient radiation by 60 percent after a Castlight report.
"I don't think they're a bad guy," Colella said. "They're using a system in which they believe this is what their value is. The ecosystem is complex."
Not all hospitals and doctors compete on price. Castlight also ranks doctors by quality, reflecting the level of care the doctor provides. Some hospitals might feel emboldened to charge more if they can deliver better results, Colella said.
"In a sense, a lot of hospitals are trying to figure out how to provide fair prices. That's why we think transparency is so critical," Colella said.
Castlight is betting that this type of transparency could transform health care, reducing costs. The government is unlikely to regulate the price of health care any time soon, which creates an opportunity for consumers to seek different avenues for lowering their costs, Colella said.

- Corinthians 1-0 Chelsea, Club World Cup
Corinthians shock Chelsea as Cahill sees red
Paolo Guerrero's second half header was the difference as Corinthians overcame 10-man Chelsea to win the Club World Cup on Sunday.
The Champions League holders, favourites going into the final, failed to dominate the contest until forced to push forward following Guerrero's 68th minute header - with Fernando Torres ultimately missing the best chance of the game in the closing stages.
In a game that was generally refereed very leniently Gary Cahill was surprisingly sent off in the final minute of normal time, just before Torres thought he had headed home an equaliser - but his strike deep into injury time was subsequently ruled out for offside.
After that scare the Brazilian side saw out the remaining seconds of the match (although Juan Mata did just have time to slide a shot against the post from a very acute angle), condemning manager Rafa Benitez to his second defeat in three Club World Cup final appearances.
Corinthians outworked Chelsea from the first whistle but there was encouragement for Benitez's men when a goalmouth scramble from a corner saw Cahill narrowly fail to stab the ball past Cassio in what came close to being arguably the first high-profile test of goalline technology.
David Luiz, restored to centre-half, did well to outfox Emerson after Juan Mata uncharacteristically passed straight to the forward, Corinthians being given too much space in midfield. And Luiz came to the rescue again after wasting a free-kick from which the Brazilians broke, while Guerrero appealed in vain for a penalty, having brilliantly nutmegging Cahill.
Cahill then got away with a major error just before the half-hour mark as Emerson panicked after the defender's slip and blazed over.
Corinthians continued to call the tune and Emerson just failed to squeeze home Guerrero's cross-shot.
Torres had offered little threat but that almost changed spectacularly eight minutes from the break when he superbly brought down Frank Lampard's ball over the top only to stab straight at Cassio.
But the goalkeeper then excelled himself as a lightning Chelsea breakaway saw Hazard feed Victor Moses - the pair having switched wings - and the latter's superb curling finish forcing a wonderful fingertip save.
Cassio also held Mata's volley as Benitez's side ended the first half on top, and they continued to probe after the restart.
Lampard saw a shot charged down, Hazard was denied by the legs of Cassio after bursting on to an inch-perfect Mata pass, and Moses's knockdown was just behind Torres.
Jorge Henrique picked up the game's first yellow card for tripping Mata but, roared on by an increasingly fervent crowd, Corinthians began to apply serious pressure of their own, Paulinho firing just wide.
In a game this tight, Torres' inability to hold up the ball was threatening to prove costly and so it proved as Corinthians took the lead in the 69th minute.
Chelsea's defence simply stood off as Henrique and Danilo danced across the box, Cahill's block simply teeing up Guerrero to head home. Corinthians celebrated jubilantly and it was too much for Luiz, who soon got himself booked for a foul on Emerson before Moses was hauled off for Oscar.
Benitez's lack of attacking options became apparent when he withdrew Ivanovic for Cesar Azpilicueta.
And Torres's Drogba moment finally arrived five minutes from time when the ball broke perfectly for him to beat Cassio from six yards but he could only send his shot straight at the keeper.
Oscar's control also let him down after he got in behind and Chelsea's misery was complete when Cahill was sent off for an off-the-ball clash with Emerson, Torres' header was rightly ruled out, and Mata failed to poke home from a narrow angle.

Newcastle appear to have won their battle with the Nigeria Football Federation after Shola Ameobi was left out of the final squad for the African Nations Cup.
Magpies boss Alan Pardew has insisted for several weeks that the 31-year-old striker would not be joining up with his country despite warnings from coach Stephen Keshi that he would demand FIFA took action if he did not.
Nigeria's media officer, Ben Alaiya, told BBC Sport: "Shola's refusal to answer calls gave Keshi no other option than to allow him to concentrate on his club."
He added: "The coach and team secretary made several attempts to reach Shola but there was no answer. The coach waited to hear back from him but a call never came.
"A decision on the next move will be made at the appropriate time."

Big Smilies And Big Winds Cap Off Perfect First Day Of Gold Cup
23 July 2010
Malcesine, Italy - The opening day of the inaugural Audi Melges 20 Gold Cup was the kind of day that makes visiting sailors relocate to Lake Garda.
A sunny, clear, and calm day greeted 37 teams from six countries during the skipper's briefing this morning at the Fraglia Vela Malcesine. By the time Principal Race Officer Fabio Barrasso completed his comments and the sailors gorged themselves on a lavish lunch buffet, Garda's reliable summer Ora wind filled the lake with a moderate 10-12 knot breeze.
"This is simply sailor paradise," said Bacio team manager Toby Kiss from ashore, as husband Michael headed to the starting line. It took two more general recalls and the Z penalty flag to finally get the fleet started in earnest at the civilized hour of 1 PM. Barrasso explained that "we had two conflicting winds causing havoc with our course direction, but there's only one way to start a race - the right way."
The first two races saw Benedetto Giallongo's Value Team serving notice to the fleet that they were the team to beat, with two first-place finishes in as many starts. "We had a great day, with [helmsman] Francesco [Scarselli] handling the boat great as we worked the eastern shore of the lake," said tactician Enrico 'Chicco' Fonda. But Fonda's choices would go bad on the third race, when a big right shift combined with winds over 18 knots pushed early leaders back to the middle of the pack. "We had great boatspeed all day, especially downwind, but this fleet will always punish getting on the wrong side of a shift," Fonda said.
The biggest beneficiary of Fonda's mistake was Francesco Farneti, with Slovenian sportboat tactical specialist Branko Brcin placing Reggini Team in consistently powerful position for a 3,2,1 scoreline and the overall lead after one day of racing. "We've been checking Farneti all year, and we knew that Reggini would be very strong here," said Fonda, who leads Farneti in the Audi Melges 20 Sailing Series by just 12 points with the finale taking place on Farneti's home waters in Rimini. "There's no extra pressure because we're going next to Rimini - we've been focused all year on Malcesine, and we'll worry about the future after we've finished racing in this beautiful venue," Fonda added.
The strong Garda winds left two teams with damaged bowsprits after the second race, though you wouldn't know it by the smile on Midwestern U.S. sailor Michael Kiss's face as he docked his boat. "Look around you - how can anyone be unhappy here?" Both teams are expected back on the water tomorrow, when racing will begin at 1230.
One special guest racer couldn't wipe the smile off her face after reaching the dock, either. Photographer Meredith Block joined Luisa Bambozzi's all-girl Troublemakers team on Thursday to add another set of hands for the expected afternoon breeze, and to get a rare perspective for her images. "I feel like I haven't sailed in years, and what a fun way to get back on the course again!" said a fatigued Block after a hot and exciting day of action. "Racing is definitely a lot harder when you're shooting pictures," she joked.
Please check out the Melges Europe Facebook Page for links to all the exciting video, pictures, results, and reports from Malcesine.

|Coca-Cola Soda Fountain Dioram
by Mattel
Time to update! I'm a day late but I really wanted to share this diorama set. I had been on the hunt for this particular set for years, hoping and praying to get it for a price point that wasn't going to make me super poor.
Last October, I finally found this hard-to-find Coke Soda Fountain diorama at the Christmas Toronto Toy show. And never-removed-from-box to boot! It's a little ironic because I had passed by the booth that carried it completely. The box was tucked into a corner among other doll stuff and my partner was the one who spotted it. She made sure to called me back to the booth and check it out. Thank goodness to partners who support your madness!
I've got the silkstone vanity by Mattel and that's a really good quality piece but this Coke diorama tops that one for sure. The details are amazing, as you can tell from the close-up shots. The tiny tin tray is probably my favorite piece. It looks like an exact replica of the real thing. And yes, it's metal, not plastic.
Most of the pieces are a combination of plastic and metal, like the Coke dispenser above and jukebox below. So, there's definitely some weight to the entire diorama set. It's quite stunning in person and perfectly scaled to Mattel-sized fashion dolls.
I hope Mattel makes more of these excellent quality diorama pieces for collectors in the future.
Happy Tuesday!

Hope everyone had a good weekend and enjoyed the holiday as well.
Now down to business...
The network I am in charge of has been growing a lot over the past year. We have 55 employees...where just a year ago it was around 30. We have over 200 nodes that are all connected into unmanaged/webmanaged switches which are all 100Mb or 1Gb. We have 75+ computers, 60+ Xbox 360s, 25+ PS3s, and 60+ VOIP Phones.
Recently as we have been getting our newest game title ready we have increased the amount of traffic and amount of data going over our network considerably. In doing this the performance over the past month has been dropping off and now I am trying to figure out the best course of action so as we grow further this won't happen in the future.
I wanted to get a good poll going of ideas to see what would really help out in making our network performance shine. Would Layer 3 switches help out? Or would a better topology be the better/cheaper answer? What other things can really cause bottlenecks on a network? Are there good tools that will help me discover what areas really need improvement?
As always thanks in advance for taking the time to respond to me and my dilemma, if you need more information just ask and I will do my best to provide it.

4 But God, with the unfathomable richness of His love and mercy focused on us, 5 united us with the Anointed One and infused our lifeless souls with life—even though we were buried under mountains of sin—and saved us by His grace. 6 He raised us up with Him and seated us in the heavenly realms with our beloved Jesus the Anointed, the Liberating King. 7 He did this for a reason: so that for all eternity we will stand as a living testimony to the incredible riches of His grace and kindness that He freely gives to us by uniting us with Jesus the Anointed. 8-9 For it's by God's grace that you have been saved. You receive it through faith. It was not our plan or our effort. It is God's gift, pure and simple. You didn't earn it, not one of us did, so don't go around bragging that you must have done something amazing. 10 For we are the product of His hand, heaven's poetry etched on lives, created in the Anointed, Jesus, to accomplish the good works God arranged long ago.

Gladbach keen to renew Favre contract
Brief news from the Bundesliga ahead of this weekend's matches:
Borussia Monchengladbach and coach Lucien Favre will start talks for a contract extension after the Swiss coach's remarkable one year in charge, they said.
Favre, who took over Gladbach midway through last season and helped them stay up thanks to a relegation play-off win, has a contract until 2013. He has turned the former German champions into title contenders with their best first half of a season in 35 years.
"I am in constant dialogue with those responsible and I am delighted with the recognition of my work," Favre told reporters after club bosses this week expressed their wish to renew their working relationship and discuss it in the coming weeks.
Gladbach, in fourth place and four points off the top, host league leaders Bayern Munich on Friday.
VfB Stuttgart goalkeeper Sven Ulreich has signed a four-year contract extension that will keep him with the Bundesliga club until 2017.
The 23-year-old, who has been at Stuttgart since childhood, joined sports directors Fredi Bobic and Jochen Schneider who also penned new deals to 2016.
"In a difficult year for him, Sven was superb and developed as a keeper," said Stuttgart coach Bruno Labbadia. "He embodies the VfB."
Stuttgart play at Schalke 04 on Saturday.
Hamburg SV could resume their Bundesliga recovery against champions Borussia Dortmund on Sunday without forward Mladen Petric and offensive midfielder Ivo Ilicevic, coach Thorsten Fink told reporters.
Both are nursing calf injuries and missed training on Thursday.
"They are both injured but it's not certain yet that they won't be able to make it," said Fink.
Hamburg, after being anchored in last place earlier in the season, are now in 13th place with former Bayern Munich player Fink yet to taste defeat in his eight league games at the helm.

We told you yesterday morning about what happened to poor Moondog, the Cleveland Cavaliers' mascot who had to go the hospital the night before after being punched in the eye by the Pacers' David West. A different video, shot from a distance, has been making its way around the Internet since then, though because the camera was so far away it's tough to make out exactly what happened.
Cleveland Scene got its mitts on the much clearer footage you see above. According to the Plain Dealer, West apologized and said the whole thing "was definitely an accident." But that's a pretty devastating left-right combo, no?

From Constantinople to Charleston: Church Architecture Seminar Weds Old and New
25 June 2011 • On-campus Event
Designer Andrew Gould spellbound participants of the Church Architecture seminar held last weekend on our campus, through an image-rich slideshow presentation that depicted the historical development of Christian church structures. Using images ranging from the ancient Roman basilica to the Great Church of Constantinople (Hagia Sophia) to Russian onion domes and beyond, Mr. Gould demonstrated how to "marry" aspects of ancient and medieval church architecture with contemporary needs and New World settings.
Mr. Gould, who works in partnership with George Holt at the firm New World Byzantine, in Charleston, South Carolina, is becoming known nationwide as a designer of traditional Orthodox churches. His goal, he says, is to keep intact the "consistent and invariable" elements of early Christian architecture while accommodating the locale of present-day churches and the creature comforts (heating and air conditioning) expected by present-day church-goers.
"It would be disturbing to me to see an out-of-context church building in the United States, which might look as if it had been dropped by helicopter from ancient Byzantium," he muses. "I believe that Orthodox churches today can be simple, inexpensive, beautiful, and comfortable, if they are well built out of 'honest' materials and if they include basic aspects of traditional Orthodox architecture."
Some of those basic traditional aspects, he notes, include thick walls, lighting that lends an air of mystery to the space, arches, high ceilings, and handmade furnishings (including lamps, tables, metalwork, and painted icons and frescoes) that appropriately "vest" the inside of the temple. All of these elements together, he observes, are evocative of the New Jerusalem, where heaven and earth meet. Moreover, he asserts, present-day church buildings, though based on ancient models, can nevertheless be built simply and relatively inexpensively—and can even be intrinsically "green," if constructed from local, "honest" materials.
In particular, Mr. Gould warns against "bowing to the god of 'modernism'," that is, the movement that started in the 1930s that rejected traditional forms and pushed toward "new forms." He instead advises the adaptation of traditional forms to modern needs, and during the presentation he gave several drawing-board renderings and photographs of his completed churches, like the stunning church near Charleston, South Carolina, Holy Ascension Orthodox Church, where SVOTS alumnus Fr. John Parker is rector, and Ss. Joseph and Andrew Eastern Orthodox Church, near Ashville, North Carolina, as examples.

Colonial Virginia
This article originally appeared in "Colonial English Research" by Robert Charles Anderson, MA, FASG in The Source: A Guidebook to American Genealogy
Jurisdictional History
The first settlement in Virginia, at Jamestown, was undertaken in 1607 by the Virginia Company of London. (Thus, like New Amsterdam and Massachusetts Bay Company, Virginia began life as a business operation.) The company was reorganized and rechartered in 1618, but in 1624 the charter was revoked, and Virginia became a royal colony for the remainder of the colonial period.
The county system in Virginia was not created all at once but grew in a series of stages from about 1618 to 1642. The Virginia Company in 1618 ordered the organization of the colony into four jurisdictions known as cities or boroughs. Based on this beginning, various courts were established, which formed the basis for the full-blown counties.<ref>Edgar MacDonald, 'The Myth of Virginia County Formation in 1634,' National Genealogical Society Quarterly 92 (2004): 58'63. </ref> By the end of this period, nine counties existed from which all other Virginia counties were descended: Charles City, Elizabeth City, Henrico, Isle of Wight, James City, Northampton, Northumberland, Warwick, and York.
In Virginia, the principal method for transferring land from the colony to individuals for the first century or so of the colony's existence was the headright system, in which land was awarded for each person transported into the colony. A single grant of land might be based on a head of household, the remaining members of the household, and a number of servants, and so might run to many hundreds of acres. (Less important were grants of land based on military service. Later in the history of the colony, rights to acquire land could be purchased.) After the Crown took over Virginia in 1624, these transfers of land were referred to as 'crown grants,' except for the land distributed after 1649 by the Northern Neck Proprietors, which became known as 'proprietary grants.' This separate proprietary land office was established by Charles II in that year as part of his political maneuvering in his attempts to regain the throne.
The actual process of making the grant of land was divided into four steps. First, the person or group of persons wishing to exercise a headright or a military right submitted to the land office a petition that stated the number of acres requested and described the location of the land desired. In the case of headright grants, the petition also included the names of the persons upon whom the claim was based. The land office then issued a warrant, authorizing a surveyor to lay out the land. When the survey was completed and returned, the land office then issued a patent, which became the legal basis for ownership of the land.
The massive collection of Virginia land patents, from the years 1623 to 1776, has been abstracted and published in seven volumes, the first three volumes of which were edited by Nell Marion Nugent.<ref>Nell Marion Nugent, ed, Cavaliers and Pioneers: Abstracts of Virginia Land Patents, 7 vols. (Baltimore, 1963'99).</ref> Several of these volumes contain extensive and useful introductory essays on the records and the system that created them.
The Northern Neck land office, eventually controlled by the Fairfax family, covered an area in northern Virginia that was eventually divided into nearly two dozen counties in Virginia and West Virginia. The grants made by the Northern Neck propriety have also been published.<ref>Nell Marion Nugent, Supplement, Northern Neck Grants No. 1, 1690'1692 (Richmond, 1980); Gertrude E. Gray, Virginia Northern Neck Land Grants, 1694'1775, 2 vols. (Baltimore, 1987, 1988).</ref>
In 1987, Richard Slatten published 'Interpreting Headrights in Colonial-Virginia Patents: Uses and Abuses,' an article that described the granting process in detail and demonstrated techniques for interpreting the patents in the solution of genealogical problems.<ref>Richard Slatten, 'Interpreting Headrights in Colonial-Virginia Patents: Uses and Abuses,' National Genealogical Society Quarterly 75 (1987): 169'79.</ref>
This same system, with variations, was used in all colonies other than the four New England colonies (although there were other important landgranting processes in New York and New Jersey). From one colony to another there might be differences in terminology, but the underlying process was much the same. For instance, the initial petition might also be called the 'entry' and the survey might be designated the 'plat.'
Kentucky was admitted to the Union in 1792 as the fifteenth state. When European settlement of the region that would become Kentucky began, the area was under the jurisdiction of Virginia and was first considered to be part of Augusta County. This situation continued until 1772, when Fincastle County was erected, to include all of what became Kentucky. In 1777, Montgomery County was formed, and the Fincastle records came into the possession of that county.
Case Studies
Charles E. Drake, 'Drakes of Isle of Wight County, Virginia: Reconstructing an Immigrant Family from Fragile Clues,' National Genealogical Society Quarterly 79 (1991): 19'32. The author carefully analyzes scattered clues from early deed, probate, and patent books of Isle of Wight County and of the colony of Virginia to estimate the ages of a group of early Drake immigrants to that county and colony. Combining this information with a 1658 passenger list led to the discovery of the English origin of these Drakes. This research was followed up with a study of the early generations of the family, again using a similar range of records.
Margaret R. Amundson, 'The Taliaferro-French Connection: Using Deeds to Prove Marriages and Parentage,' National Genealogical Society Quarterly 83 (1995): 192'98. The author employs a plenitude of deeds and wills from several early Virginia counties, along with a few church records and entries from court order books, to identify the spouses of several members of the French and Taliaferro families of early eighteenth-century Virginia.

ELMHURST, Ill. - The Elmhurst football team scored its first CCIW victory of the season by upending Millikin University 20-7 at Langhorst Field.
Elmhurst totaled 403 yards of offense in the win, its second-highest output of the season, and improved to 2-5 overall, snapping a five-game skid in the process.
Millikin (1-6, 0-4 CCIW) jumped on the scoreboard first, but were shut out for the remainder of the game by the Bluejays' defense. Starting at their own 43-yard line, the Big Blue drove 57 yards in eight plays and grabbed a 7-0 lead when Nick Pippin connected with Brady Cufaude on a 14-yard touchdown pass.
Millikin's lead was short lived as Elmhurst answered back immediately. The Bluejays used a 57-yard drive keyed by a 39-yard run from Josh Williams to even the score at 7-7. Facing a third-and-goal from the Millikin seven-yard line, Joe Camiliere hit Chase Hamby on a short pass. Hamby spun away from his defender and dove into the end one to knot the score for Elmhurst.
Elmhurst took a 10-7 lead early in the second quarter by capitalizing on a Millikin turnover. Alec Giles picked off Pippin at the Elmhurst 30 and returned the ball 15 yards. A horse collar penalty on Millikin at the end of the run gave Elmhurst the ball at the Millikin 40-yard line. The Bluejays drove down to Big Blue's eight-yard line before settling for a 27-yard field goal from David Tomis.
The Bluejays defense forced Millikin into a three-and-out after the field goal. Elmhurst's offense then drove to the Millikin 23-yard line and Tomis boomed a 40-yard field goal through the uprights to put the Bluejays on top 13-7.
Elmhurst had a chance to add to their lead late in the half after Stephen Ritter intercepted Pippen and brought the ball back to the Millikin 19-yard line, but the Bluejays drive ended with a Millikin interception at the goal line. The Bluejays led 13-7 at the half.
The Bluejays wasted no time to add to their lead in the third quarter. Elmhurst took the opening kickoff and drove 75 yards in 11 plays with Williams capping the drive with a 23-yard touchdown run.
Elmhurst's defense clamped down on Millikin in the third quarter, limiting the Big Blue to only six yards of offense and no first downs in three possessions. The Bluejays killed a Millikin drive early in the fourth quarter as Giles recorded his second interception of the day. Millikin strung together a 14-play drive midway through the fourth quarter, marching down to the Elmhurst 11 yard line, but the Bluejays stopped the Big Blue on a fourth down attempt. Elmhurst took over on downs and ran the final 4:48 off the clock to preserve the victory.
The Bluejays pounded the ball on the ground, rushing for 293 yards on 50 carries. Millikin was held to only 97 rushing yards on 33 carries and just 116 passing yards.
Williams led Elmhurst on the ground, carrying 29 times for 187 yards and a touchdown, setting a career-high in both attempts and yardage in the process. He added two receptions for 38 yards to total 225 yards for the day. Tyler Smith added 50 yards on the ground on four carries while Andrew Tubek picked up 40 yards on six carries.
Camiliere finished 10-of-22 through the air for 110 yards with two interceptions and a touchdown.
Millikin's Sean Dunning entered the game as the conference's leading rusher averaging over 140 yards per game, but the Bluejays' held the running back in check, limiting him to just 76 yards on 25 carries. Pippin finished 14-of-31 for 116 yards with a touchdown and three interceptions.
Charlie Roberts led Elmhurst's defense with 13 tackles, including two tackles for loss and half of a quarterback sack. Marvin Carr and Billy Viero added six tackles apiece for Elmhurst. while Giles recorded two interceptions on the day.
T.J. Sullivan led Millikin's defense with 12 tackles. Stephen Watson and Mykal Neal finished with 10 tackles each for the Big Blue.
Elmhurst travels to North Park University next Saturday, November 2.

ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia -- A senior Eritrean diplomat denied on Saturday there was an attempted coup early this week in the Horn of Africa nation and said reports to the contrary are a deliberate disinformation campaign.
Girma Asmerom, Eritrea's ambassador to the African Union, said in a statement that coup reports were "wishful thinking" by people he did not name.
"There has never been an 'attempted military coup' and there will never be a coup d'etat in Eritrea," Asmerom said.
Without explaining the incidents on Monday, Asmerom wrote of acts of terror being called something else.
"As is the case all over the world an armed crazy, stupid and terrorist individual or group can take stupid actions such as kidnapping of individuals or taking hostages by raiding government and private institutions and offices," he said. "Such isolated incidents which frequently occur in the West are considered terrorist acts. I don't understand why in Africa they are considered coup d'etats. It is the highest form of double standard and hypocrisy."
But activists and experts said about 100 dissident soldiers stormed the state broadcasting at Ministry of Information in the capital, Asmara, and read a statement vowing to free all political prisoners and implement the country's constitution.
Eritrean President Isaias Afworki took power when the country broke away from Ethiopia in 1991 after a civil war that lasted three decades. His regime is seen by rights groups as repressive.
Ethiopia, which has no diplomatic relations with Eritrea, says the incident is not the first attempt to dislodge Afworki and that the president is likely to respond with brutal force.
"In May 1993, embarrassingly a mere four days before the country's official declaration of independence, soldiers who had received no pay following the country's de facto independence two years earlier, launched a major protest in Asmara, demanding a meeting with the president and to be paid," Ethiopia's foreign ministry said in a statement Friday. "When the president finally agreed to meet them and hear their grievances, he quickly promised to improve conditions and provide pay. The troops returned to the barracks but within a matter of days, with the protests over, hundreds were arrested."
