The state highway reduces to two lanes at its western intersection with SR 169 (Old Buckroe Road).The two highways run concurrently east to Mallory Street, onto which SR 169 turns south toward the Phoebus neighborhood of Hampton.SR 351 reaches its eastern terminus one block to the east at Second Street on the edge of Buckroe Park two blocks west of the Chesapeake Bay.
King Street north from downtown Hampton, continuing northeast on current State Route 169, was added to the state highway system in 1928 as State Route 513.The Shell Road alignment between Newport News and Hampton was added in 1931 and 1932 as State Route 532.Also in 1932, the road from Hampton part of the way towards Buckroe Beach was added.
In the 1933 renumbering, a Newport News-Hampton-Buckroe Beach route, along with Jefferson Avenue in Newport News towards Williamsburg, became State Route 168.From Newport News east, this used what had been SR 532 to the intersection of Shell Road and LaSalle Avenue.There it followed State Route 167 (former State Route 511) along Shell Road, Newport News Avenue, and Back River Road to Queen Street, State Route 27/167 (former State Route 514) along Back River Road, and SR 167 (former State Route 533) along Rip Rap Road to King Street (former SR 513).
SR 167 continued northeast on former SR 513, while SR 168 turned south on SR 513 into Hampton, where it headed east on Pmbroke Avenue as added in 1932.The rest of the route to Buckroe Beach (via Old Buckroe Road and Buckroe Avenue to Third Street, ending at State Route 169), was added in 1936.A new alignment of SR 168 between 39th Street and Huntington Avenue in Newport News and Pembroke Avenue and King Street in Hampton was built in the early 1940s, and added to the state highway system in 1944; the old route (then on Shell Road) became State Route 143.
Wellfleet Communications Wellfleet Communications was an Internet router company founded in 1986 by Paul Severino, Bill Seifert, Steven Willis and David Rowe based in Bedford, Massachusetts, and later Billerica, Massachusetts.In an attempt to more effectively compete with Cisco Systems, its chief rival, it merged in October, 1994 with SynOptics Communications of Santa Clara, California to form Bay Networks in a deal worth US$ 2.7B.
Bay Networks would in turn be acquired by Nortel in June, 1998 for US$ 9.1B.Wellfleet was ranked the fastest-growing company in the United States by Fortune Magazine in both 1992 and 1993.Wellfleet sold routers.
Wellfleet also emphasized on support of the up-and-coming Internet Protocol.In 1991, Cisco led the global multi-protocol router market with a 51% share, whereas Wellfleet was third with only 9% market share.By 1993, Wellfleet had grown to a 14% market share, second only to Cisco's 50%.
Wellfleet concluded the best way to gain strategic positioning over Cisco would be to merge with hub manufacturer SynOptics.By combining these technologies, the joined companies could provide their customers with common product interfaces and network management tools.The resulting merged company, Bay Networks (named as such because Wellfleet was based in Boston, Massachusetts and SynOptics in San Francisco, California, two classic bay cities).
House of Hope (fort) House of Hope (), also known as Fort Good Hope (), was a redoubt and factory in the seventeenth-century Dutch colony of New Netherland.The trading post was located at modern-day Hartford, Connecticut.
In 1633, the Dutch West India Company (WIC) (1621–1793) of the United Netherlands Dutch Republic built a fortified trading house on the south bank of the Little River (now Park River), a tributary river of the Fresh River (Connecticut River).The WIC had planned Fort Good Hope to be the northeastern fortification and a trading center of the WIC.The land was part of a larger tract purchased on 8 June 1633 by Jacob van Curler on behalf of the WIC from the Sequins, one of the clans of Connecticut Indians.
Curler added a block house and palisade to the post while New Amsterdam sent a small garrison and a pair of cannons.English settlers from other New England colonies moved into the Connecticut Valley in the 1630s.In 1633, William Holmes led a group of settlers from Plymouth Colony to the Connecticut Valley, where they established Windsor a few miles north of the Dutch trading post.
In 1634, John Oldham and a handful of Massachusetts families built temporary houses in the area of Wethersfield, a few miles south of the Dutch outpost.In the next two years, 30 families from Watertown, Massachusetts joined Oldham's followers at Wethersfield.The English population of the area exploded in 1636 when clergyman Thomas Hooker led 100 settlers, including Richard Risley, with 130 head of cattle in a trek from Newtown (now Cambridge) in the Massachusetts Bay Colony to the banks of the Connecticut River, where they established Hartford directly across the Park River from the old Dutch fort.
In 1637, the three Connecticut River towns—Windsor, Hartford, and Wethersfield—set up a collective government in order to fight the Pequot War.In 1650, representatives from New Netherland and New England agreed to the Hartford Convention to settle border disputes.The boundary between the two colonies was set 50 miles west of the Connecticut River, placing the fort on English territory.
In 1653, the English seized the fort.The location of this confluence of rivers is at contemporary Sheldon Street in Hartford.The fort is recalled today with a nearby avenue called Huyshope, once the center of economic activity in the city.

Palaris Juan de la Cruz, also known as Palaris, (8 January 1733 – 26 February 1765) was a Pangasinan leader in the province of Pangasinan in the Philippines who led a revolt against the colonial authorities during the 18th century.The uprising is known as the Palaris Revolt.
De la Cruz was born to Santiago de la Cruz, a village chief, and Catalina Ugnay, both of the town of Binalatongan (now San Carlos City), Pangasinan.He had a brother (Colet) and a sister (Simeona).Being a family of a village chief (or "cabeza de barangay", in Spanish), the De la Cruz clan were members of Binalatongan's "principalia" (ruling class).
Little is known of the personal circumstances of De la Cruz except that he was educated in Binalatongan and was orphaned in his teens.He then moved to Manila and worked as the coachman of the Spanish official Francisco Enríquez de Villacorta, a member of the "Audiencia Real", which served as the privy council of the governor-general who governed the Philippines.Palaris' revolt became known as the second wave of the Pangasinenses resistance against Spain (first wave was initiated by Andres Malong decades earlier).
The lore of the Amputi Layag that came to be known across Pangasinan was revived by Palaris (Malong started the first revolt that culminated in the first Amputi Layag resistance).After the British Invasion of the Philippines during the Seven Years' War, the Spanish colonial government, including Villacorta, had relocated to Bacolor in the province of Pampanga, which was then adjacent to Pangasinan.It was at this time that the principalia of Binalatongan protested the abuses committed by the provincial governor.
The town leaders demanded that the governor be removed and that the colonial government stop collecting taxes since the islands were already under the British.But Governor-General Simon de Anda dismissed the demands and the revolt broke out in November 1762.The name of de la Cruz, who began to be known as Palaris, emerged as one of the leaders of the revolt, along with his brother Colet, Andrés López, and Juan de Vera Oncantin.
By December, all Spanish officials, except the Dominican friars who were in charge of the Catholic mission, had left Pangasinan.The Spanish colonial government had to deal with the British invaders and the simultaneous Silang Revolt, led by Diego Silang, in the neighboring province of Ilocos in the north.
(The present-day province of La Union was still part of Pangasinan and Ilocos.)
At the battle of Agno, he faced on March 1, 1763 the Spanish forces under the command of Alfonso de Arayat, who led a composite troop of Spanish soldiers and Indios loyal to Spain.Arayat withdrew after losing much of his Indio loyalists.Pangasinenses took over all official functions and controlled the province up to the Agno River, the natural boundary between Pangasinan and neighboring Pampanga in the south.
(The present-day province of Tarlac was still part of Pampanga.
)At the height of the uprising, Palaris commanded 10,000 men.He was also in communication with Silang, with whom he was coordinating a bigger offensive against the Spanish.
However, the Seven Years' War ended on February 10, 1763 with the signing of the Treaty of Paris (1763) in Paris, France.Also, Silang was assassinated on May 28, 1763 by an Indio under the employ of the friars.The Spanish were then able to focus on the uprising and mustered forces to surround Palaris.
The Spanish friars, who were allowed to stay in the province, also started a campaign to persuade Pangasinan residents of the futility of the Palaris Revolt.By September 1763, news of the peace treaty reached Pangasinan and army of Palaris' men surrendered and returned to normal life amid the Spanish offensive.Palaris tried to fend off the offensive at the village of Mabalitec near the Agno River between Binalatongan and Bayambang in December 1763.
To prevent the Spanish from seeking lodging in his hometown, he ordered his men to raze Binalatongan.But the Spanish won the Battle of Mabalitec, demoralizing Palaris' forces.The town of Binalatongan was rebuilt in another site between December 1763 to June 1764 and renamed San Carlos (now San Carlos City, Pangasinan), in honor of the reigning King Carlos III of Spain.
Palaris' forces made a last stand at the town of San Jacinto, Pangasinan, but they were defeated.Palaris' advisers, Andrés López and Juan de Vera Oncantin, were captured.They would later be hanged.
By March 1764, most of the province had already fallen, leaving Palaris no escape route except through Lingayen Gulf and the South China Sea in the west.He chose to stay in Pangasinan and hid among his supporters.But his presence terrified his protectors and his own sister Simeona, who was apparently threatened by the Spanish clergy, betrayed him to Agustín Matias, the "gobernadorcillo" (mayor) of the razed Binalatongan.
Palaris was arrested on Jan. 16, 1765 and brought to the provincial capital of Lingayen for trial.While in detention, he confessed being the principal leader of the revolt.He was convicted and hanged on Feb. 26, 1765.

!You Wanted the Best, You Got the Best!
!
is a live hits album released by American hard rock band Kiss.The album was issued to coincide with the group's 1996–97 Alive/Worldwide Tour.All of the songs on the album are live versions.
Most were taken from "Alive!
"or "Alive II" but four recordings had been previously unreleased.The liner notes report the tracks are outtakes from "Alive!"
and "Alive II"-era recordings, although there is some speculation to whether this is actually the case (mainly because Paul & Gene's voices sound like they were re-recorded in 1996 and Peter's drums sound very modernized); in an interview with Latent Image magazine in 1998, Bruce Kulick stated that he had participated in some aspects of this album in the studio, although he did not comment on the extent of his involvement.The final track is an interview of the reunited group conducted by Jay Leno.The album received generally negative reviews.
Allmusic's Stephen Thomas Erlewine gave the album one star out of five and said, "It's a rip-off album, pure and simple...There is simply no reason for this to exist... you may have wanted the best, but you didn't get it – you just got exploited.
""Rolling Stone" 1996 review was also negative, calling it a "shameless reunion-promotion biscuit".
