De ye ken...
Our story is about two women, one of Scotland and the other American, and seven men, six of Scotland and one American. It begins in a way at 4:30 AM on Friday, April 12, 1861, when Confederate Brigadier General P. G. T. Beauregard gave the order to begin shelling the United States' Fort Sumter in Charleston Harbor, Charleston, South Carolina. The shelling of Fort Sumter officially started the American Civil War which would last for four long years and see 2.1 million Union soldiers fight 880,000 Confederates. Of those who fought, there were many who came from overseas to fight for the Union cause, most unknown to us today. Because of the two women of our story, we know the names of five men, natives of Scotland, who served in the Union forces.
- Sergeant Major John McEwan, Company H. 65th Regiment Illinois Volunteer Infantry.
- Lt. Col. William L. Duff, 2nd Regiment Illinois Volunteer Light Artillery.
- Robert Steedman, Company E, 5th Regiment Maine Volunteer Infantry.
- James Wilkie, Company C, 1st Regiment Michigan Volunteer.
- Robert Ferguson, Company F, 57th New York Volunteer Infantry.
- Alexander Smith, Company G, 66th Regiment New York Volunteer Infantry.
All six of men returned to Scotland after the war and went forward in living their lives. Lt. Col. William L. Duff died soon after returning to Edinburg from wounds received in the war.
John McEwan married and eventually settled in Edinburgh where he became sick and was unable to work. His wife and children worked for five shillings a week to keep themselves from the poorhouse. When he died in 1890, his widow, having heard the American Government was providing a pension for Union soldiers, approached the American Consul, Wallace Bruce to inquire about a widow's pension. Proof was obtained and the pension granted.
One day during the process, Anne Bruce, wife of Wallace Bruce happened to be present and heard Mrs. McEwan's story. She encouraged her husband to do more, and he came to envision a burial-place in Edinburgh for Scottish-American soldiers of the American Civil War. He wrote letters to the Lord Provost, Magistrates and town Council asking for a plot in one of the city cemeteries. The Town Council of Edinburgh approved a plot in the Old Calton Cemetery for pensioned Scottish soldiers of the American Civil War.
Wallace Bruce then decided a worthy memorial was needed for the site, and, returning to the United States to address the Grand Army Chautauqua, he announced his idea of a monument to the five thousand attendees. In less than five months six thousand dollars was raised and George E. Bissell, a well-known sculptor was given the commission for the bronze figures, President Abraham Lincoln and a freed slave; Stewart M'Glashen & Son, of Edinburgh, the stonework.
The monument was unveiled August 21, 1893 with kilted soldiers and pipe band, as Bruce's young daughter pulled the covering away while hundreds of onlookers cheered. The monument is the only monument to the American Civil War outside the United States and is the only statue of Lincoln in Scotland.

Model Packs increase the number of Amp or FX Models of a GuitarPort, TonePort, PODxt, PODxt Live or PODxt Pro, for a wider variety of tone possibilities. When a particular tone in the library relies on a Model available in one of these packs, you'll see symbol(s) to indicate which Packs: MS (Metal Shop), CC (Classics Collection), FX (FX Junkie), and PP (Power Pack).
The models within the FX Junkie Model Pack are already included in PODxt Live, and offered for purchase to add-on to GuitarPort, TonePort, PODxt and PODxt Pro.
Variax is the uniquely flexibile guitar from Line 6. Our Vetta II amplifier includes a digital connection for the Variax that lets you store settings for both your amp and your guitar in the Vetta II so that when you call up a Vetta Channel Memory your amp and guitar can change sounds together. Vetta II Tones marked with this guitar symbol include this Variax data.
For each tone in the library, you'll see an icon for either a single coil or humbucker pickup. This tells you whether the tone is best for use with a single coil pickup or a humbucker, so you can select the appropriate pickup on your guitar when using this tone.
Attention POD 2.0, Flextone and HD147 owners... Your hardware doesn't do Stomp effects, so you'll hear something different than what was intended. Try increasing the Drive or choose a higher gain Amp Model to get the right sound. The other aspects of the sound should translate as expected, so you'll at least get a great starting place for tweaking.
Tones contributed by users to the Public Tone Exchange are made by individual users, who are in no way affiliated with Line 6. Any product name or trademarks used by the users to describe their Tones are the sole property of their respective owners. Any use of these product names or trademarks of other manufacturers should not be construed as an endorsement, association or affiliation with Line 6.

Space Oddity
The success of Werner Herzog's Grizzly Manwhich last year made a unique migration from the art house to the Discovery Channelshould cement the maverick German auteur as the greatest living director of nature films. Yet as viewers of Grizzly Man, his Gulf War meditation Lessons of Darkness, or even his feature Aguirre, the Wrath of God (currently running at Film Forum) well know, Herzog's worldview rejects the cuddly circle-of-life balance epitomized by Wild Kingdom or Jacques Cousteau. With Nietzschean ruthlessness, Herzog's nature is a crushing force that tests and wears down both society and individuals alikea massive power too often underestimated by human hubris.
The Wild Blue Yonder continues this theme, replacing the burning oil fields of the Gulf and the deadly jungles of the Amazon with the impossibly vast coldness of outer space. Brad Dourif narrates as an earthbound extraterrestrial, part of a botched attempt to build a Terran colony. "We aliens all suck," he says, looking more like a dusty western drifter than E.T. "I guess we're just failures." Dourif's recollections of his own race's journey to Earth parallel another story he tells, that of a human expedition to find his home world, spurred by an alien microbe discovered in the secret space junk in Roswell, New Mexico. Herzog illustrates the narrative with repurposed science documentary footage: The human astronauts appear in NASA videos taken during Space Shuttle expeditions, or footage from seemingly otherworldly trips beneath the Antarctic ice. Interspersed talking-head interviews with astrophysicists at American universities appear to discuss actual theories, but talk of far-out stuff like "gravitational tunnels" and "chaotic transport" gets re-woven by Herzog back into his fictional skein. Though occasionally striking, the footage doesn't pack the evocative punch Herzog intends, and segments that should be lyrical mind trips only result in overstretched longueurs.

HIV Rates on Decline, but Still Short of U.S. Five-Year Goal
HIV Rates on Decline, but Still Short of U.S. Five-Year Goal
FRIDAY, May 6, 2016 (HealthDay News) -- Although HIV infection and transmission rates in the United States declined over the past five years, they fell short of White House targets, according to findings published online April 29 in AIDS and Behavior.
The researchers' analysis of U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data showed that between 2010 and 2015, new HIV infections decreased 11.1 percent and transmission of the AIDS-causing virus declined 17.4 percent. The U.S. National HIV/AIDS Strategy (NHAS) goals for 2015 were reductions of 25 percent for new HIV infections and 30 percent declines in HIV transmission.
During that time, the number of people living with HIV rose from 1.18 million to 1.27 million. Also, deaths of patients with HIV from all causes fell from 17,866 to 16,085.
"After the release of the first National HIV/AIDS Strategy, researchers cautioned that failure to expand diagnostic, prevention, and care services to necessary levels would result in underachievement on the NHAS goals for 2015," senior author David Holtgrave, Ph.D., of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in Baltimore, said in a Penn Medicine news release. "Our analysis suggests that is just what happened. HIV prevention efforts must be reinvigorated in the NHAS's second era."

Author: unknown Publisher: MB 1975 Awards: none |
Brian Bradford (USA) writes about the game: TANK BATTLE--Came out in 1975. 2 players. Comes with 6 miniature (about 10mm scale) sherman tanks and 6 panthers. Each side has a miniature headquarter, fuel and ammo dump and 5 miniature antitank guns. The board is square-grided, 10 x 10 row, with numbers in each corner ranging from 1 to 100. Each player has a artillery plotter in front of them. To win you must destroy all the opponents tanks. Each turn players take turns moving their tanks; you must move 6 spaces with your tanks, but this may be distributed between your six tanks; though no single tank may move more than 3 spaces in a turn. Movement is left, right, or forward, never diagonal or backward. In the meantime your oponent has plotted 6 artillery shots, basicly placing a colored peg in the plotting grid where you wish the round to fall. After plotting, the other side moves their tanks. Once finished, the other side checks to see if any tanks are destroyed by artillery--a direct hit kills the tank. Tanks adjacent antitank guns may be fired at. A player has 5 shots for doing this. To shoot, call the target and spin a wheel--it says hit or miss. Tanks adjacent to one another may combat, each side reveals their rank (each tank is fitted with a rating befor play) Outcome is like stratego, highest wins. Players try to knock out the HQ, fuel and ammo, because by doing so you lesson the enemies fighting ability. Loosing the ammo limits a players artillery shots from 6 to how many tanks he has. The loss of the fuel dump causes a player to have only 4 movements. Loss of the HQ destroys the special "mines" a player has--each player has two which he record secretly on paper. Any installation is destroyed by ending a tanks turn in its square. |

Recently I was commissioned to make 12 memory cushions for a family that lost someone very special.
Her name was Mary and she was a lovely lady. I know this because she was my friend and my neighbour. I knew her for a lot of years so it was an honour for me to make these keepsakes for all the family. They are made from Mary's clothes and bedding.
Butterflies and feathers had special meaning in Mary's life so each cushion has an appliqued butterfly and feathers incorporated into the quilting.
The 4 large cushions........
and some of the smaller ones.
I thoroughly enjoyed making these and the family were delighted with their keepsakes.

The pillows are gorgeous. I love the idea of making pillows as a tangible memory of the person being thought of. Your design of feathers, hearts, and butterflies is delightful to look upon.

Missing Sock Laundry
We are located on a well-established street in NW Portland, OR.
The neighborhood has a trendy but homey feel, and we'd like to fit in with this.
We have nice, new machines, a comfortable and artistic interior, a playful attitude, and a strong sense of duty to bring this much-needed business to the area.
We will be offering wash and fold service as well.
Many apartment buildings in the surrounding area only offer 1 washer and 1 dryer for the whole building. We would like to entice these typically 20-40 somethings to come to us instead.
There are also multiple college/universities in the nearby area (including 2 art schools), and a hostel next to a Trader Joe's.
Many people in the area will be hearing about our wash and fold service via mailers.
Hip, fresh, modern. Funky, cool and desirable. Bright colors...Yellow, Blues, Oranges. We need both an icon and text. Please don't use clip art. My business partner likes the idea of a sock on the side of a milk carton. While I think this could be cute, I'm not entirely sure it can be pulled off. I guess I'd like to see what can be done with that, but I'm sure there are also some other creative ideas out there that can be played with. Obviously the "sock" in Missing Sock Laundry is the key element.

Normal period but can I be pregnant still?
Patient : I am 18, I had my period last week. I took a pregnancy test at home and it was negative. So, my question is, can I still be pregnant?
Symptoms: Back pain, Sensitive nipples, lightheaded, and sometimes headaches.
Thank you for your query.
You say that you had period, if the period is normal as like your periods and if it came on t ime then probably the chances of a pregnancy even after having normal period are almost remote. But if you have only light or incomplete period, which was either before or after or at the time of expected date of menstrual cycle then you have to worry. It is advisable that you go for another home pregnancy test after another week to rule out a pregnancy.
Hope that answers your query. Have a good day.

Simon Says..........CAS Christmas
This week our theme is CAS Christmas, and the Design Team are using products from Memory Box. They make the most gorgeous detailed dies - I was lucky to snag a pretty wreath die called Catalina Wreath. Here are 2 cards I made using it.
supplies: red and green cardstocks, My Mind's Eye My Story patterned paper, Catalina Wreath, cut 3 times, 2 greens and a red, Simon's Christmas Blessings die, gold foil paper, gold sequins
This next one is not at all Clean and Simple, but I thought this patterned paper in the background went so nicely with it, I shared it with you anyway. Love the country look of it! I paper-pieced the flowers onto the green wreath, and added little white pearls in their centers to mimic the flowers in the paper, then popped the whole wreath up above the card surface to help it stand out a little more. I paired it with one of my most favorite Christmas sentiment sets from Hero Arts, now sadly discontinued. The dotted letters just seem to go along with the whole style of the card.

What are we talking about? It's back! Season 4 of ITV's period drama juggernaut, Downton Abbey returns. We rejoin the aristos and servants in 1922, for eight new episodes – and a Christmas special.
Elevator pitch Back to the Abbey: widows, babies, romance and scandal are all in the mix.
Prime movers Julian Fellowes is still on writing duty, while David Evans (Whitechapel, One Night) is the lead director.
The stars As well as familiar faces – Dame Maggie Smith, Hugh Bonneville, Elizabeth McGovern, Michelle Dockery – there are new talents: a somewhat sideways choice, Paul Giamatti will arrive for the Christmas special. Brits Dame Harriet Walter, Tom Cullen (Weekend) and Nigel Harman (EastEnders) are new additions, plus opera singer Dame Kiri Te Kanawa joins the cast.
The early buzz After a picture of Lady Mary and Tom Branson (both widowed, with kids) standing near each other was released, blogger Perez Hilton breathlessly responded "GASP! Could these pics from Downton Abbey Season 4 mean what we think they mean!!! Lady Mary and Tom!!! TOGETHER!!!" The Mirror, however, had another prediction: "Actress Daisy Lewis is being brought in to heal the broken heart of widower Tom in the new autumn series. And those haunting lips and sultry looks seem bound to remind him of late wife Lady Sybil Crawley, who died in childbirth in the last series. Newcomer Daisy, 28, who has starred in Doctor Who, will play the live-in governess of Tom's daughter and will quickly strike up a romance with the handsome Irishman." The Mirror, quotes "a source" saying: 'Daisy will become one of Downton's most prominent characters. Her romance with Tom will be one of the main storylines ...."
Insider knowledge It also has a real royal: the Queen's second cousin, twice removed, Flora Ogilvy – 45th in line to the thrown – is an extra.
It's great that … after the rather silly, speedy plotting of the last series, Fellowes has promised a change in pace for series 4, focusing on more subtle character development.
It's a shame that … there's no Dan Stevens. Sorry, we're just not getting over that one any time soon.
Hit potential Critically? It may have had it's day. Ratings? Likely to do just fine. Stateside? A smash, for sure.
The details Downton Abbey will air on ITV from mid-September.

The 10 Best Instagrams To Celebrate Ed Sheeran's Birthday
It's seriously crazy to me that Ed Sheeran is only turning 26 years old today... I mean, he's one of the best artists around and he's SO young! I think we all tend to forget how young he is because he is so wise and has such heart-wrenching lyrics.
ANYWAY - let's celebrate Ed's big 2-6 with 10 of his best moments
Like here he is with a baby:
And this time he 'ate his own nose':
Or when he was hanging out in just, you know, underwear and a cowboy hat as he does:
This time that he flawlessly photobombed Taylor Swift and her bestie Abigail and Abigail's fiance
Just, this outfit:
The moment he let us know that we were getting new music from him:
And when he was like 'hey look at me fight this sumo wrestler':
When he had some thoughts on his wax figure:
When Taylor Swift shared this story about his beautiful song 'Thinking Out Loud':
And when he just shared this incredibly beautiful song with the world which we can only imagine is about his girlfriend Cherry Seaborn, who Ed actually met in high school and has said he is 'excited to marry' (I MEANNNNN):
My. Heart.
We had so much fun hanging out with Ed in studio on Valentine's day - but hopefully he gets to spend his birthday with his loved ones today :) Love you Ed!

You Are More
This is an excerpt from You Are More , by Carmen Rasmusen Herbert.
"What if someone told you that they knew you had the potential to go all the way—that they believed in YOU? Would you have confidence pursuing your goals and dreams?
"There is One who has had many years of experience. He has helped thousands reach their goals. He knows you better than anyone, and He believes in you. He knows you have the potential to go all the way.
"So much more precious than the little jewel of confidence my singing coach gave me is the absolute vote of confidence my Heavenly Father gives me. "We can trust our Heavenly Father. He knows us. He knows our potential. He believes in us! We can believe the Lord when He says, 'With God all things are possible' (Matthew 19:26).
"If He believes in me, I can believe in me too."
(Carmen Rasmusen Herbert, You Are More [Salt Lake City: Deseret Book, 3–4]).

Stutz Victoria 1985
In early March 2011, this Victoria was auctioned in
Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.
Harry Benedict, Stutz-owner,
and the (previous) owner of that red Clenet (in the picture above) sent
me this photo.
In early April 2011, the car appeared on Ebay.
And in early May 2011, I was informed by Victory Cars (click to see more photos, and info on their homepage) that they have the Victoria now in their inventory.
So finally, I'm able to show this beautiful sedan on the homepage.
In early 2012, I heard from some Stutz-friends in The
Netherlands that the car is now offered in Europe.
And in March 2012, I saw that Victoria at a car show
in Stuttgart, Germany, so now here are some of my photos:
The car is in really great condition.
The interior looks almost like new...
... even the original TV-set is there!
In January 2012, Glenn Scheltens told me that he is
the new proud owner of this Victoria.
At the age of 12, he was so impressed by an article,
showing Elvis with his new Stutz, that he promised himself that he will
buy a Stutz, when he ever gets the chance...,
now, 40 years later his dream came true. Congratulation!
Mr. Scheltens bought another Stutz, a 1976 Blackhawk! (Some people have bigger/better dreams than others...)

Over-the-top (OTT) players that offer innovative services are gaining ground. These players are constantly growing and adding more and more subscribers into their databases.
Telecommunication companies have seen the impact that OTT services have on their networks and services. Along the years, less people using text-messaging services available via mobile network operators to communicate; instead OTT messaging players, such as WhatsApp, Skype and Viber (among many others), are replacing them.
But text messaging is not the only service affected by the rise of OTT players. At first OTT players started with the idea to provide instant messaging services, and they have now evolved into providing voice-calling capabilities. The fast adoption of these new OTT services has a double impact on mobile network operators:
• First, the actual services deployed for SMS and voice calls have experienced a negative trend in terms of usage according to the report "Mobile Messaging Futures 2014-2018" presented by Portio Research Ltd.
• Second, the extra data traffic created by OTT players has increased exponentially in the last years. This effect translates directly to congestion problems in the network.
Now network operators not only have to cope with the competition generated by similar services, but they also have to cope with the internal competition generated by OTT services. In many cases, these services are hogging some of the most important revenue sources, such as international voice and messaging.
Network operators are in a very complex situation, due to the actual tariff models that most of them have. They have adopted flat rate data plans, which are benefiting the OTT players that use network operators as commodity suppliers in order to deliver their content. This causing some network operators to change their current strategies and find different models to compete or coexist with OTT players.
There are different approaches that network operators have adopted in the past that they can use again now:
• Defensive strategy: Essentially network operators are offering advanced and new services to high-end customers especially where OTT players are active. This is a clear example of a customer analytics use case (usage, behavior, location and more). By understanding the behavior of high-end customers in the network it is possible to come up with attractive alternatives for them.
• Attack strategy: As a first reaction some network operators decided to block the OTT players that offer the same services as them, especially the ones that are suffering from decreased revenue, such as voice and messaging.
• Cooperative strategy: Some network operators decided to join forces with OTT players in order to provide services and solutions. In some cases this strategy is performed in a collaborative way and in exceptional cases the network operators decided to acquire the OTT service. In the past few months it is possible to find some OTT – Telco partnerships announcements. As an example, Airlet Nigeria and WhatsApp created an exclusive WhatsApp-branded mobile data plan to compensate SMS revenue loss and increase brand perception. This formula seams to have good results because it was replicated in other Airtel markets and now it includes more OTT players.
It is clear that telecommunication companies have to find ways to compete against or work with the OTT players, and now is the time to find new revenue streams. However, there isn't an opportunity to improve what is not measured, and regardless of the strategy that Telcos follow, the first step is to measure and understand their customers. Telcos have a lot of information about their customers and it is time to make use of that data to understand how customers are making use of the services. Having this information will allow Telcos to make better decisions about improving an existing service, creating a new one or partnering with an external one. Without a doubt, big data is the first step that network operators need to adopt in order to continue in the data-driven decision era.

Space was at a premium at the Manteca Civic Center in 1998.
Brian Regnart's concerns with the South San Joaquin Irrigation District aren't personal.
Chances are if you have attended a community event in the past 12 months, you have met Miss Manteca, Victoria Ahonui Watson. Watson has spent the past year serving at dozens of community functions along with her co-captains: Miss Teen Manteca - Taela Lynn-Ann Heath, Teen Manteca City Ambassador – Colton Allan Harris, Miss Young Manteca – Priscilla Alexandra Ohnmacht, and Young Manteca City Ambassador – Erick Enriquez.
Two police SWAT raids on Manteca homes early Thursday morning netted 20 pounds of methamphetamine valued at $500,000 or more depending on the purity of the product.
Manteca may spend $1.2 million to secure long-term savings to reduce future cost burdens for wastewater ratepayers.
Manteca's Strike Zone bowling alley wouldn't be the same without Charlotte Black who has been an integral part of the facility for 52 years and is still working 40 hours a week.
LATHROP – The good news is that the majority of residents contacted for a survey about the quality of life in Lathrop believe that the city is on the right track.
Landing industrial employers and head-of-household jobs takes more than just a zoning map and wishful thinking.
LATHROP – It's been more than a week since 69-year-old Jarnail Singh wandered away from the Lathrop home of his son.
LODI – Rio Vista's history and farming heritage will be presented at the monthly Docent Council meeting on Monday at the San Joaquin County Historical Museum in Micke Grove Park south of Lodi.
LATHROP - River Islands weathered a monsoon of legal challenges including charges the 11,000-home planned community on Stewart Tract would contribute significantly to global warming.
The complaints and concerns were numerous.
The Manteca City Council has no problem with the $100 million upgrade that Caltrans is planning on making to a 10-mile stretch of Highway 99 that will extend from the 120 Bypass to Arch Road.
RIPON - Marissa's Closet – the Ripon source for free prom gowns – is looking for a new home due to the pending sale of the building that Melinda Shaw and her corps of volunteers have called home for the past two years.
Spending $62,500 to extend sidewalk to the new Social Security office on Commerce Court behind Home Depot doesn't sit too well with Mayor Willie Weatherford and Councilman Steve DeBrum.

I have tried numerous time to get any of my creative cloud programs to install and it downloads fine and then throws a 416 error check with support when trying to install.
On the support page it suggest i look through the log file to see what went wrong but there isnt one at all. I have scanned the whole pc for any *.log.gz files and can only see the ones from a year ago when i installed cs5.
I have tried running as administrator, changing the path in adobe download manager, redownloading adobe download manager.
PC is running windows 7 (64bit).
I am hoping someone can help as this is sending me around the bend
Latest update i can install any app that i don't previously have on the system. If i uninstall photoshop and then try to put cs6 on i get the same message
Error 416 may indicate that the Adobe Application Manager is having problems resolving the address of the server it is trying to download from. Are you using OpenDNS or any type of software firewall or security software?
I would also recommend that you continue with reviewing your installation logs. You can find directions on how to accomplish this at Troubleshoot with install logs | CS5, CS5.5, CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cs5-cs5.html.
The dns gave me an idea so connected the pc to our secondary internet connection and all went fine
Firewall must have blocked access to that one pc on the network as i could install onto another fine. Weird but insanity over thanks

The new pseudo-code is much more low-level than Python's bytecode. Much of the work Python spends in decoding the argument type and calling indirect functions is removed. What remains can be interpreted pretty quickly. I am thinking about using Vmgen for this purpose; see http://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/anton/vmgen/ A bient=93t, Armin. |

Wading into the raging debate over whether Mahendra Singh Dhoni should step aside from captaincy, West Indies batting superstar Chris Gayle has thrown his weight behind the Indian limited-overs skipper, saying that he will only take that call if he desires to do so.
Calls for Dhoni to hand over the reins of the limited-overs formats to Virat Kohli began to gain strength following the latter's continuing success as Test skipper. The explosive batsman, however, believes that Dhoni still has the potential to take India to greater heights.
"MS Dhoni will only step aside when he feels like, no one can tell him to leave," Gayle told ANI in an exclusive interview.
Commenting on the possibility of his return to the traditional five-day format, the 36-year-old southpaw insisted that "I will be looking to comeback to play in the 50-over and Test matches. That is definitely on the cards."
Gayle, who has proven his ability to bat long periods with two triple hundreds, also described his 333-run knock against Sri Lanka in Galle as the most memorable day of his career.
Talking about his recently released autobiography 'Six Machine', the flamboyant batsman said that the book will shed light on his hardships before he established himself as one of the batting stalwarts in the world of cricket.
"It is a simple book depicting my life experiences & some of my good innings. Hopefully this book can inspire people around the world. I have been receiving great feedback from cricketers," he said.
