According to a release today from the National Federation of State HIgh School Associations Rules Committee, blindside blocks and pop-up onside kicks will now be illegal.
These are changes that the NFHS is making in the name of player safety and "risk minimization," that are sure to make many coaches around the country grunt in frustration.
On a personal note, asking a referee to make a call during a game on whether or not a defender saw a block coming seems a bit silly. One has to wonder if this includes blocks inside of the tackle box, because a defender never sees a well executed trap block coming until it's too late.
Over the past few seasons, some coaches have already seen blindside blocks being punished with a 15-yard penalty under the umbrella of the recipient of the hit being a "defenseless player." The new rule will prompt many special teams coaches to change up their return schemes a bit.
Special teams coaches will also be interested to hear that the pop-up approach to onside-kicking, where the kicker would kick the top exposed point of the ball immediately into the ground to get a big hop out of it to increase the chances of his teammates recovering it will is also being eliminated in the name of risk-minimization.
A number of other changes were also discussed. Head to the NFHS release here for more information.

This Weird Household Machine Was The Future Of Voting In 1945
Some day a President of the United States may be elected "electronically". This sentence wouldn't look out of place in any news story from 2014, despite quotes around the word "electronically". But, believe it or not, that prediction comes from a magazine article in 1945.
Under the headline "Votes by Radio: An Electronic Machine for Opinion Polls?", the March 1945 issue of Radio-Craft magazine imagined a world where people would be able to vote on anything at all through push-button — securely, secretly, and right from the comfort of their own homes.
Electrical engineer Alfred N. Goldsmith devised a system that would send radio signals to a central radio receiving system to tabulate the results. The magazine even included illustrations depicting what the home voting machine (above left) and central computer station adding up the votes (above right) might look like.
The home-voting machine might appear a bit bulky in the illustration. But just for context, this is what a mechanical computer looked like in 1948, three years after this article was published:
Under Goldsmith's voting system, questions would be sent out over regular radio transmissions at a prescheduled time. People at home (the article essentially envisions this on a county-wide scale) would then be given time to respond from the control panel of their voting machine. All questions would have to be worded so that they could be answered with responses like "yes" or "no". Some degree of nuance could be introduced like "very good" or "very bad", but there would, of course, be limitations.
What did the magazine see as the biggest problem? Only a few people could have voting machines. It would simply be impractical for everyone to have their own voting terminal at home. So the article suggests that a representative sample of the American voting population would have to be determined: "of all political parties, rich and poor, old and young, farmers and urban dwellers, of all faiths."
At first it may seem strange that they assume a small but representative sample of the population could be selected and only those people given the right to vote. This would certainly be anti-democratic. But if you think about it, this system really isn't too many steps removed from our current form of representative democracy in America. When was the last time that you felt like your voice was represented in Congress?
Barely a majority of Americans elect the people who are sent to represent us, even in major elections. Just 57.5 per cent of eligible voters showed up to the polls in 2012. And even fewer people vote in midterm and local elections. Those even smaller groups of people then go on to vote on legislation, often not representing the wishes of their constituents.
Interestingly, we now have a worldwide network of computer terminals where just such a system of direct democracy could actually be tried. But we're nowhere near this becoming a mainstream reality. And perhaps with good reason: Computers are scary and inherently insecure. Now please excuse me while I go check my bank balance, pay my bills, and file my taxes online.

FCC's Carr touts support for small cell proposal from local officials
by Mike Dano |
FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr has been promoting rules aimed at speeding up the deployment of small cells around the country. (FCC)
Ahead of the FCC's vote this week geared to hasten the deployment of small cells around the country, FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr pointed to support for his proposal from officials across more than a dozen states.
Carr's efforts are essentially an attempt to counter criticism of his proposed rules by other local officials as an attempt by the federal government to overstep local authority over the fees and timelines associated with installing small cells in neighborhoods across the United States.
"More than several dozen mayors, local officials, and state lawmakers have called on the FCC to streamline the rules governing small cell buildout," Carr said in a release from the FCC (PDF). "They want the FCC to build on the commonsense reforms adopted in state legislatures and town councils across the country so that every community—from big city to small town—gets a fair shot at next-generation connectivity. As they put it, FCC action will help spur investment and infrastructure buildout in their communities, while helping the U.S. win the race to 5G. I am glad to see the support from this diverse group of state and local officials."

How STIR/SHAKEN Restores Consumer Trust in Phone Companies
Nothing has done more to erode consumer trust in phone calls and carriers than caller ID spoofing, robocalls, and the scams that nefarious players run. Now STIR/SHAKEN is rebuilding that consumer trust. Download the eBrief now to learn more.
In the release, Carr highlighted statements from a variety of state legislators and officials, including Mayor Scott Neisler of Kings Mountain, North Carolina: "The North Carolina General Assembly has enacted legislation to encourage the deployment of small cell technology to limit exorbitant fees which can siphon off capital from further expansion projects. I was encouraged to see the FCC taking similar steps to enact policies that help clear the way for the essential investments that will promote necessary upgrades to network infrastructure to ensure that Kings Mountain remains a great place to both live and do business."
The release from the FCC came just hours after Bloomberg published an article on the issue, citing comments from a variety of state and city officials arguing against the FCC's proposed rules.
"We are shocked," Samir Saini, New York City's commissioner of information technology, told Bloomberg. The proposed action is "an unnecessary and unauthorized gift to the telecommunications industry and its lobbyists" and an effort "to subsidize a trillion dollar industry under the guise of helping broadband deployment."
RELATED: Major U.S. cities revolt against FCC's proposed small cell deployment rules
Cities speaking up on the issue range from Philadelphia to San Francisco to Chicago to Lakewood, California, and Yuma, Arizona. The filings by the cities generally follow the same format and present the same basic arguments:
The FCC's proposed new collocation shot clock category "is too extreme."
The FCC's proposed definition of "effective prohibition" is overly broad.
The FCC's proposed recurring fee structure is an "unreasonable overreach that will harm local policy innovation," and the fees are not "fair and reasonable" compensation.
"While promoting broadband technology and development remains an essential City initiative, it is critically important for municipalities such as Philadelphia to balance these goals with the ability to regulate and manage the public ROW [right of way]," the city of Philadelphia wrote to the FCC this week (PDF). "The City's ability to manage its ROW is essential in order to effectively protect the health, safety and welfare of the City's over 1.5 million residents and 43 million annual visitors."
The FCC will vote Wednesday on rules aimed at limiting the fees localities can charge, tightening deadlines for small cell deployment requests, and discouraging deals between cities and wireless carriers like the one San Jose inked with Verizon and AT&T. AT&T, Verizon and other network operators are keen for the FCC to approve the rules, as they argue it will make it easier for them to deploy small cells and other network equipment that will improve their networks as they move to 5G.
Although the FCC's proposed rules will likely be supported by Carr and other Republican commissioners, others may vote against it. For example, Commissioner Jessica Rosenworcel wrote in June that "the fastest and most resilient way to broadband deployment is with a community on board. That's because picking fights with cities and states promises to yield little more than a fast trip to the courts."

HOT SPRINGS, Ark. – On the eve of the 2019 Great American Conference Men's Golf Championships, the league held its awards banquet at the Hot Springs Convention Center. By unanimous consent of the league's head coaches, Southeastern Oklahoma State's Zach James took home his second-consecutive Player of the Year award. Additionally, they tabbed Harding's Ryan Camras as the Freshman of the Year and Southern Arkansas' Ben Sanders as the Coach of the Year.
James joined former Southern Nazarene All-American Michael Hearne as the GAC's only two-time Players of the Year. He has spent time this season ranked atop the Golfstat's national ratings. He enters the GAC Championships ranked third in the country. He has finished in the top two in nine of his 10 tournaments, highlighted by five medalist honors. He has more rounds in the 60s, 14, than in the 70s, 12.
Camras became the second Bison named GAC Freshman of the Year, joining Brandon Clark, who claimed the accolade in the league's inaugural year, 2012. He recorded three top-six finishes and posted a 73.81 scoring average.
Sanders has elevated the Mulerider program into the top 30 in the Golfstat rankings and in position to make the NCAA Midwest/Central Regional for the first time in program history. SAU has won a school-record three titles during the season.
A pair of Sanders' standouts joined James as unanimous selections to the All-GAC First Team in Kade Johnson and Roman Timmerman. The duo represents the Muleriders' first two First-Team selections since 2012. Johnson finished inside the top 10 in six of SAU's seven fully contested events, highlighted by a win at Arkansas Collegiate. Timmerman tallied four top-10 finishes, including a pair of top-three results.
A second member of the Savage Storm, Hayden Foster, landed on the First Team for the second-straight season. He has finished inside the top 15 in eight of Southeastern's 10 tournaments. Henderson State's Cameron McRae rounded on the First Team. McRae recorded eight top-15 finishes, including four top-10s, to help the Reddies enter the GAC Championships rank first in the NCAA Central Region rankings.
The All-GAC Second Team featured the Arkansas Tech tandem of Austin Gean and Shawn Tsai. Two sophomores – Henderson State's Mitchell Ford and Southwestern Oklahoma State's Gustavo Tineo – paired up with Southern Nazarene's Rhett Bechtel to fill out the team. Bechtel became a three-time All-GAC selection.
Camras paced the Honorable Mention Team. A pair from SWOSU – junior Kason Cook and sophomore Gregor Weck – joined Arkansas Monticello's Kinley Lee and Henderson State's Trey DePriest.
The GAC also announced its Elite Scholar and Distinguished Scholar Athlete awards. Northwestern Oklahoma State's Preston Ewing received the Elite Scholar Athlete honor. Arkansas Monticello's Lee and Harding's Gregor MacIntosh earned the Distinguished Scholar Athlete accolade for the second-straight season. Henderson State's Nick Shapiro, the Rangers' Tyler Berryhill, Southern Nazarene's Andrej Melichar and Southwestern Oklahoma State's Kason Cook also claimed Distinguished Scholar Awards.


The state museum is relatively new building and was erected in 1977 only; however, its collection of around 2000 relics and antiquities originating from the province would make a real treat for the visitors who would come here. We can see ancient household articles, utensils, looms, hunting tools, a bridal room and some preserved animals of the region.
One of museum in Palembang city is Museum of Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin II. It was used as the palace of Sultan. It has an imposing semi circular staircase and was built by the Dutch in 1823, which located near Musi River. Another museum is Balaputra Dewa Museum which located 5,5 km from the center of Palembang.

While the summer is nearing its tail-end, the Magic City is showing no signs of cooling down. With exclusive packages and luxurious offers, Miami's most sought after hotels invite you to bask in the final rays of summer by their haute pools. Whether you prefer lounging with a cocktail or taking a refreshing dip, these glamorous hotel pools have you covered.
Once you step foot in one of Faena's poolside cabanas, you'll understand why Condé Nast Traveler named Faena one of the ten most "over-the-top" hotel pools in the world. The uniform red chaise lounge, white accents and signature red and white striped umbrellas line the impressive pool, presenting a chic, artistic aesthetic–an elegant design unmatched by any other hotel pool. Faena's amenities are also sure to stun: by the pool, enjoy wine on ice and mouth-watering snacks served by "pool butlers" who provide premier service.
The Fontainebleau's three highly amenitized pools help make the Miami Beach hotel one of the most fawned over destinations in the Magic City. Along with the kid's pool, the signature bowtie-shaped, Morris Lapidus-inspired pool, aptly named the Bowtie Oasis Pool, provides a unique mix of fun and leisure. The adults-only Arkadia Day Club pool is home to the hottest pool parties in Miami. From hot beats by notable DJs to refreshing drinks and private cabanas, the pool is the premier poolside destination. Party all day from 11AM to 8PM with Arkadia's exclusive pool parties with DJ K Razor, or live the VIP life for a day, soaking up the Miami sun and enjoying Michael Mina's Pizza & Burger.
The Spanish-inspired hotel in Coral Gables is notable for an array of reasons–housing one of the largest hotel pools in the United States is one of them. Holding 600,000 gallons of water, the 23,000 square-foot pool is legendary. At the Biltmore, bask in everything grand by reserving a cabana by the pool, which is whimsically lined with bougainvillea and Renaissance statues. Accommodating up to eight guests, the cabanas are furnished in teak wood, classic banana leaf ceiling fans, top-notch lounge chairs and outdoor rain showers. As you're living large and resting by the marble polished pool, you are guaranteed a taste of Miami opulence.
Delano Beach Club is known for its lush 7000 square feet of upscale design, which guarantees relaxation. Past the Orchard area and iconic outdoor chess board, the pool awaits with limitless amenities. For guests, renting one of Delano's poolside bungalows is an absolute must. The elegant furniture, private patio, rainfall shower, MALIN+GOETZ soap and breathtaking marble soaking tub make the Delano's pool one of the hautest in Miami.
The Breakers' four posh pools—most notably the infinity adult pool and expansive main pool—capture the essence of the classic, high-end Palm Beach resort. Freshly manicured Ponce Promenade and Ocean Lawn make for a glamorous lead-in to the Beach Club where guests can reserve an indoor-outdoor bungalow complete with plush furniture, a flatscreen television, a bathroom, gourmet food and beverage service. The luxurious poolside cabanas take the saying "home away from home" to a new level: the accommodations transport guests away from reality, providing an oasis away from the Breakers' already impressive suites during the day.
With picturesque backdrops and top-notch amenities, 1 Hotel's dynamic pools are the definition of relaxation. The expansive 30,000 square foot Center Pool provides 180-degree ocean views, cantina-style food, lush day beds and more.

And at Watr guests can bask in the Magic City sunshine with a drink in hand, atop the only waterfront hotel with a rooftop pool.
While The National gives guests a glimpse into old-school, classic Miami, its pool exudes more of a modern vibe. Not only is the sleek pool the longest infinity pool on all of Miami Beach, but it's also a place where you can enjoy poolside cocktails. Most snapshots taken at the posh Miami Beach hotel pass the test for most instagrammable Magic City photos.
The Miami Beach EDITION's pool reflects more than just the sun's glittering rays. Holding much historical weight, it is the hotel's original (and fully restored) swimming pool located on the property's lush landscape called "Tropicale," inspired by the iconic 1950s Havana nightclub, Tropicana. The Miami Beach EDITION is the ideal place for a fun, yet culturally significant poolscape experience. With its period diving board interlaced with bougainville, private cabanas complete with daybeds and enticing custom teak lounges, the Collins Avenue poolside escape is the peaceful oasis for you to recharge from your daily grind.
At the W South Beach's two "WET" pools, guests are treated like royalty. From poolside service to all-natural cocktails and organic cold-pressed juices, at the W, relaxation comes naturally. Guests can also indulge in upscale accommodations at the serene Mini WET pool in one of the exclusive private cabanas. A day by the pool at W South Beach is in high demand, especially since a myriad of tv shows, including HBO's Ballers, have shot here to give viewers a taste of the hot Miami life.
With its three infinity azure pools, The Setai, Miami Beach is the epitome of glamour. The hotel boasts that all three pools are kept at the perfect temperature all year-round for the utmost comfort of their guests. Catch up on your reading with top-notch magazine service, and take advantage of the Setai's no-stress mantra by enjoying poolside water, towel and cocktail amenities as you bask in a truly picturesque landscape.

All Six Potential Candidates for Bagley's Seat New Registrants to the WFP
November 13, 2014 megan
Suddenly, everyone's jumping to join the Working Families Party. WFP in Bridgeport has seen their membership quadruple in the last month, from 3 members to 11!
Interestingly, not one of the six potential candidates set to be interviewed at tonight's special meeting were members of the WFP more than a week ago.
In fact, the only reason these six people were able to qualify for John Bagley's open seat was because of a loophole in state electoral law, which allows unaffiliated voters to instantly switch political parties.
Can you see the problem here?
None of these people actually have a connection to the political party that they are now supposed to represent on the board.
Even scarier, after only a 15 minute interview, one of these people will have instant influence on the board that controls Bridgeport Schools.
Of course, the board wouldn't be in this situation had the WFP not gone out of their way to manipulate the state's minority party rules or encouraged their members to register with a major party.
Linda Lambeck at the Connecticut Post has published the names and short bios of each applicant on her blog:
• Hans E. Nelson, a Bassick High School graduate whose resume says he last worked at Genox Homecare in Stratford, Nelson says in his letter of interest that he has significant experience in the customer care field. He previously worked in property management and once was a school bus driver.
• Ben M. Walker, a Greenwich teacher and Bridgeport resident, says in his letter he has two degrees in education and 34 years experience in the classroom as a music teacher and band director.Before Greenwich, he worked in Litchfield, Wilton, Danbury, and Western Connecticut State University.
• Willard Pinn, a consultant with Goodwill Industries said he was intrigued by the job posting in his letter of interest. He said he is retired from the fields of mental health and developmental disabilities. Among his listed skills is excellent public speaking.
• Shannon Brame-Collier, parent of a child at Skane School and small business owner as a Mary Kay consultant. She said in her letter she is passionate about issues facing all children in the school system. She said in her resume she is able to remain calm in very tense situations and good at diffusing confrontations.
• Andrea Bynoe-Clarke, whose resume says she recently was a Central High PTSO president. She is a part-time litigation paralegal. mother of two,
• Kadisha Coates, a parent, licensed nurse who in her resume says she now works as Vice President of Communications Infrastructure Corp. She previously was a nurse at Stamford Hospital. She has three children, two are in charter schools. She said her vision is one where students flourish and families are proud of their educational systems.
All six candidates will be interviewed at tonight's special meeting, held at the Aquaculture school, 60 St. Stephens Road, at 5PM. If you can't make it out, I'll be live tweeting updates from @EduBridgeport.

Research what it takes to become a film director. Learn about the education requirements, job outlook and salary information to find out if this is the career for you. Schools offering Digital Cinematography degrees can also be found in these popular choices.
Film directors manage actors and production staff during the making of movies or other pieces of video media. They interpret a writer's script, direct the actors to perform in a certain way, and oversee choreography, lighting, music choices and many other aspects of making a film. Directors are in charge of a piece of media's creative direction and need to have strong communication and leadership skills in order to deliver on their ideas. They will also be involved at the post production level of a project, working with musicians, editors and producers to ensure the final product is as they envisioned.
As a film director, you need to be able to interpret a script creatively and communicate script changes. You direct actors, makeup artists, writers and technicians to bring the film to life. This typically involves you deciding where and how to shoot the film and making decisions about the acting and scenes. You may also help actors formulate their characters and work with makeup artists and costume designers to depict the characters most effectively.
The first step you could take on your film director career path would be to prepare in high school. High school courses in film, theater, drama and acting can help you gain familiarity with the basics. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported in 2014 that some directors gained film experience by starting out as actors (www.bls.gov). You may be able to better advise actors as a future director by acquiring knowledge of how they work and perform.
Many aspiring film directors complete Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) degree programs in film and video production. As a student in one of these BFA programs, you'll study topics in screenwriting, film editing, cinematography, aesthetics, directing, motion pictures history, sound design and production. You may be required to produce several film projects to demonstrate your practical and advanced film making skills. You can also apply for internships with local film production companies during your schooling.
The Directors Guild of America (DGA) is an organization that provides access to training and professional connections required for career advancement as a film director. You may need to provide proof of employment as a director, supply references and pay an initiation fee related to your membership category (www.dga.org). The DGA works to protect your legal and creative rights as a practicing film director.
Although completing a bachelor's degree program and being a DGA member can give you some experience, you'll need to establish your reputation as a capable, creative director. You may gain experience and networking opportunities by working in a support role under a more established director. You'll also need to spend time directing independent films to get your name and work out there.
As a film director entering the field, you'll typically start working for small production companies to build experience. You may need to acquire skills and connections to gain access to bigger budgets and projects. Your success can depend on your management abilities, which includes being able to delegate effectively, recognize talent and sustain professional relationships.
There are many different careers that utilize skills similar to directors and require an equivalent educational background. A bachelor's degree in film and video production will also prepare you to become a film/video editor or a camera operator. Camera operators are in charge of recording a high-quality camera image and adhering to the director's creative vision, while editors are responsible for the post production aspect of creating a film or television show. If you are interested in the performing arts more generally, you may want to become an actor or choreographer, two career paths that can be attained either through training and experience or by completing a bachelor's degree program in your chosen discipline.


what is your Operating system (windows xp/windows vista)?
what security software have you tried installing?
just to verify... both mcafee and Paertologic Antivirus are both insalled, right?
2. you need to rebuild the windows repository, or uninstalled and reinstall mcafee (one condition though... there shouldn't be any other AV software when reinstalling mcafee).
hi, bua_ako Sorry I didn't reply sooner. I was having aproblem with the printer. I already uninstalled all of the other Virus & Spyware programs. What is this rebuild the repository? I also have unistalled & reinstalled mcafee. I hope these will help you. Thanks amp.
i would assume that uninstall and reinstall of mcafee did not resolve your issue and that the windows security center still is not able to identify mcafee as your AV right?
Automatic scan reports Trojans found, but I can't not locate the offending files.

Home Sports Top 5 batsmen who can break Gayle's record of 175 runs in...
Top 5 batsmen who can break Gayle's record of 175 runs in T20
Chris Gayle, known worldwide as Universal Boss, holds the record for most runs scored in an innings in the 2013 IPL season. He played a smashing inning of 175 off just 7 balls against Pune Warriors. Here we will name the top 5 best batsmen who can break Chris Gayle's Individual highest run innings record of 175 runs this season.
There is only a short time left before the start of IPL 2020. There are many records in every match in this league. Every match sets and breaks new records in this league. Chris Gayle, the explosive opener of West Indies, has such a record. Gayle has the highest individual run in the IPL.
List of batsmen who can break Chris Gayle Record for highest Runs
Chris Gayle:
Who could be better than Chris Gayle to break this record? Chris Gay is one of the most devastating batsmen in the history of IPL. He has played for many franchises in the IPL. Chris Gayle hit 13 boundaries and 16 sixes in his 165 runs which helped RCB to 260 in the first innings. He is at the top of the list with 6 centuries in this tournament.
The 40-year-old batsman won the Orange Cap twice in a row in 2011 and 2012. The Jamaican star has scored 4464 runs in 151.03 strikeouts in 125 matches in the IPL. Given his devastating ability to run, it would not be wrong to say that this Caribbean needs just one innings to impress itself.
2. Jos Butler
Jos Butler is a powerful power hitter, and this ability of Jose Butler is one of the reasons behind his success in limited-overs cricket in England. Although Butler has been batting at the bottom of the IPL, the Rajasthan Royals have lifted him to the top of the batting lineup in 2016. And this English batsman has also played some great innings. It was Butler's explosion at-bat in 2016 that led to the playoffs of the first IPL champions in 2008.
In 2016, Butler scored a total of 548 runs for Rajasthan with the help of 5 centuries, in which his highest score was 95 runs. If Butler can maintain that form in 2020, he can easily break Chris Gayle's record of 165 runs. Butler, who has scored 156 strikeouts in the IPL, has the ability to play shots around the field.
3. Rohit Sharma:
Rohit Sharma is one of the best batsmen in the world in limited-overs cricket. Rohit relies more on timing than strength to send the ball off the field. The Mumbai Indians captain is the third-highest run-scorer in the history of the IPL with 4697 runs. In the last few years, the 33-year-old Indian batsman has made himself one of the best batsmen in white-ball cricket.
Even though the start was slow, once it was set, it became almost impossible to stop Rohit Sharma. Rohit Sharma has a strike rate of 130.62 in the IPL and has been away from cricket for a long time. As a result, he will try to play some explosive innings in the upcoming IPL.
4. Aaron Finch:
Australia's limited-overs captain Aaron Finch is also on the record-breaking list and an explosive batsman in the opening. Although he is relatively inexperienced in the IPL, his acceptance is the biggest strength. And in T20 cricket, this ability has made him a more explosive batsman.
Finch will play for the Virat Kohli-led RCB this season. The 33-year-old batsman broke his 157-run record to lift the T20I international to 182 runs. The batsman also has the temperament and experience to play long innings so he can easily break Chris Gayle's record.
5. David Warner:
David Warner is at the top of Chris Gayle's record of 175 runs. Warner is not only an explosive batsman but he is also a great series. He made a great comeback in the IPL last season after being banned from cricket for a long time. Despite not playing all the matches last season, he became the second-highest run-scorer in the tournament.
He is also the fourth-highest run-scorer in the history of the IPL with 4807 runs at 142.39 strikeouts in 128 matches. The captain's extra responsibilities could also motivate him to break Chris Gayle's record.


[Episcopal News Service] An Episcopal congregation in Southern California that had been barred from its church for three years amid a property dispute with the diocese has returned to the church with a spirit of reconciliation and hope.
Families are inundating the church with requests for baptisms and weddings, the congregation is ramping up its outreach ministries, and on April 8 worship services resumed at the Newport Beach church for the first time since 2015. What was St. James the Great is now known simply as St. James Episcopal Church.
She got the keys to the church a couple weeks ago to inspect the structure for any maintenance requirements. Then last week, in preparation for the Eucharist on April 8, 25 to 40 volunteers showed up for five straight days to help clean the church, washing windows, vacuuming floors, scrubbing bathrooms. Voorhees and her staff are still working to get phone, internet and other services fully restored.
Diocese of Los Angeles Bishop John Taylor preached the sermon. His episcopacy paved the way for the congregation to return to the church. He addressed the property dispute in the sermon, saying negotiations made it hard for him and other church leaders to fulfill their roles as pastors.
"We are reclaiming our pastorship this morning," Taylor said, drawing a parallel between Jesus' resurrection and the congregation. He repeatedly invoked a theme of reconciliation.
The property had been at the heart of disciplinary proceedings last year against Taylor's predecessor, Bishop J. Jon Bruno, for his attempts to sell the church building. Members of St. James the Great had been forced to worship in a Newport Beach Civic Center community room while the property remained in dispute.
The disciplinary hearing panel found Bruno guilty of the St. James complainants' allegations and said he should be suspended from ordained ministry for three years because of misconduct. Bruno retired at the end of November, and Taylor took over as diocesan bishop on Dec. 1.
In November, the Diocese of Los Angeles released a statement outlining a plan for future use of the church property, including the eventual resumption of worship services there by the congregation. The diocese plans to use part of the facility for its Redeemer Center for Diocesan Ministries.
The diocese also committed to helping St. James regain mission status. For now, it is a mission station with Voorhees as bishop's chaplain. She hopes the diocesan convention in December will consider granting mission status.
Until then, St. James has plenty to do. Although it had continued to pursue outreach ministries while worshipping at the Civic Center, it now will be able to resume after-school programs and step up other initiatives serving children in the area.
And Voorhees said the church has a backlog of baptisms to schedule – her own 2-year-old granddaughter among them. Not many families wanted to hold baptisms in the Civic Center, so they waited and hoped.
St. James also is fielding a sudden barrage of calls about weddings. It is located next to a boutique hotel, which makes it something of a destination for engaged couples planning their ceremonies and receptions, Voorhees said.
This is a big change from just a couple weeks ago, when the congregation was forced to find a temporary place of worship for Good Friday and chose to join with a local Baptist church, and it celebrated Easter with a Eucharist at the Civic Center. Things are starting to return to normal, though Voorhees said her congregation remains committed to reconciliation work with the diocese.
"There's rebuilding that has to go on, and I think that everyone is willing and wanting to do that," she said.
Very good news, and overall good article! But I was startled to read in the penultimate paragraph that the congregation was "FORCED to join with a local Baptist Church to worship Good Friday." (Emphasis added.) What an insulting thing to say about those Baptists who welcomed our folks to join with them! Yes, it may have been disappointing not to follow our BCP rite for Good Friday, but could there not be a better way of putting this. Ecumenical cooperation is a blessing, not a curse.
You are correct, Frank. That was not an accurate depiction, due to imprecise language, not from any intention to insult. The church was forced to find a place to worship and CHOSE to worship with the Baptist congregation. I made that adjustment in the story. Thanks for pointing it out.
I couldn't agree more with Mr. Corbishley in his sentiments, but suspect that it was simply a poor choice of words.
Great news for all of us who've been following this story. A real Resurrection tale.
I'm hopeful the author didn't mean anything by "forced." Here in La Grande, Oregon, in the Diocese of Eastern Oregon, we participate in regular joint services (including Good Friday and Epiphany) with four other 'mainline' denominations! We are all one in Christ, after all. Congratulations to the people of St. James! God bless your ministry.
That is a good point, Kathryn. The church was forced to find a place to worship and CHOSE to worship with the Baptist congregation. I made that adjustment in the story. Thanks.
I am pleased and relieved to see justice done. I am sad for the tribulations and trials they had to go through.
Reconciliation is such a wonderful thing. Refreshing to read of such positive developments in the Church. Don't know a soul involved there but it makes me so happy to see this protracted conflict resolved. Alleluia! Christ is Risen. The Lord is Risen Indeed.
Yes it is nice to finally get to reconciliation, but if memory serves me there is a whole other original congregation that had been in St. James since the days when she was planted. Some three hundred people including the priest. They were forced out, and were not ever part of this congregation. But I have always heard wonderful things about this new priest, I would not be surprised if she hadn't already tried to reconcile with them.
I am so happy to hear this news. I have been following the story for years (including the split) with a heavy heart. I grew up in this church, sang in the Cherub and Junior Girls' choirs back in the 1950's. St. James will always have a special place in my heart. We will be visiting the next time I am in Newport Beach.

Plantinga, Alvin (1932–)
PLANTINGA, ALVIN
Born in Ann Arbor, Michigan, Alvin Plantinga is one of the most important and influential philosophers of the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. His publications range over a wide variety of fields, but his most enduring contributions have been in metaphysics, epistemology, and, especially, the philosophy of religion. He is best known for his work on the metaphysics of necessity and possibility, for his defense of the view that knowledge is to be analyzed partly in terms of proper function, for his development of the "free will defense" against the so-called "logical problem of evil," for his many and vigorous defenses of the rationality of religious belief, and for his much-discussed "evolutionary argument against naturalism."
Plantinga earned his BA in philosophy and psychology from Calvin College in 1953, and he cites his experience at Calvin as perhaps the single most significant intellectual influence in his life. There he studied with Henry Stob and Harry Jellema, the latter of whom played an especially formative role in his intellectual development. Plantinga received his MA in philosophy from the University of Michigan in 1955, and his PhD from Yale in 1958 under the supervision of Paul Weiss. He was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1975, co-founded the Society of Christian Philosophers in 1978, served as President of the Central Division of the American Philosophical Association in 1981 and 1982, and served as President of the Society of Christian Philosophers from 1983 to 1986. He has given the prestigious Gifford Lectures twice, and in a 1980 article he was heralded by Time magazine as "America's leading orthodox Protestant philosopher of God."
Plantinga's most influential work in metaphysics has focused primarily on the metaphysics of modality. In The Nature of Necessity (1974), as well as in various papers, a central theme is the exposition and defense of a realist and actualist construal of possible worlds and modal properties. On his view, the standard possible worlds semantics for modal logic is to be taken with metaphysical seriousness: it is not a mere heuristic device; possible worlds are not merely useful fictions. Rather, possible worlds exist. They are abstract states of affairs of a certain kind—something like total or complete ways that a world history might have gone. Moreover, individual things have modal properties —properties such as being possibly seven feet tall, or being necessarily even —and, Plantinga thinks, realism about such properties requires one to believe that individual things exist in other worlds. On his view, a thing exists in another possible world only if, had that world been actual, the thing itself, not a mere stand-in or counterpart, would have existed. Thus, if Fred has the property being possibly seven feet tall, then there is a possible world such that, had that world been actual, Fred himself would have existed and would have been seven feet tall. Ultimately, this understanding of modal properties, together with his commitment to strong form of actualism, leads Plantinga to endorse the controversial view that objects have individual essences —properties that are both essential and essentially unique to them.
Plantinga's major works in epistemology are the volumes that comprise his Warrant trilogy (1993a, 1993b, 2000). Warrant, according to Plantinga, is that property or quantity that distinguishes knowledge from mere true belief. The main goals of the Warrant books are to identify the necessary and sufficient conditions for warrant, and to defend an affirmative answer to the question whether distinctively Christian belief can be warranted.
In the first volume of the trilogy, Plantinga surveys a broad range of post-Gettier analyses of knowledge, arguing that all of them founder on counterexamples involving cognitive malfunction. The basic problem is that, for each candidate analysis of "S knows that p," the conditions listed as necessary and sufficient for knowledge could be satisfied by a person whose cognitive faculties are malfunctioning in such a way that, intuitively, beliefs produced by faculties behaving in that way fail to count as knowledge. He also argues for the striking and controversial conclusion that justification, construed at least in part as a matter of epistemic duty-fulfillment, is not necessary for knowledge at all.
In the second volume, Plantinga articulates and defends a new analysis of knowledge, according to which (roughly) S knows that p if and only if S believes that p, p is true, and S's belief that p is the product of faculties that are properly functioning, successfully aimed at truth, and operating in an appropriate environment. The notions of proper function and appropriate environment are normative notions; but, Plantinga says, the normativity involved is of a sort commonly invoked in the natural sciences. Thus, Plantinga regards his analysis as, strictly speaking, an instance of "epistemology naturalized." But he also argues that his brand of epistemology naturalized flourishes best in the context of a supernaturalistic metaphysics. Toward establishing this conclusion, he begins by arguing that proper function is an irreducibly normative notion that does not admit of a purely naturalistic analysis. He then attacks naturalism directly, arguing that belief in naturalism and evolutionary theory together is epistemically self-defeating and therefore irrational. This latter argument is the so-called "evolutionary argument against naturalism."
The third volume of the Warrant trilogy applies the account of knowledge defended in the second volume in the service of an argument for the possibility of warranted Christian belief. The central and striking thesis of the book is that if Christian belief is true, then it is warranted. This conclusion is important because it implies, contrary to widespread opinion, that objections against the rationality of Christian belief are not independent of objections against the truth of Christian belief. In order to defend the conclusion that Christian belief is unwarranted, one must first defend the conclusion that it is false. In support of his central thesis, Plantinga begins by arguing that the only really philosophically interesting question about the rationality of Christian belief is the question that asks whether Christian belief is or can be warranted. He then notes that, in light of the analysis of knowledge proposed in the second volume, Christian belief can be warranted so long as it is produced by properly functioning faculties that are successfully aimed at truth and functioning in a suitable environment. Much of the rest of the volume, then, is devoted to establishing the conclusion that if Christian belief is true, then these conditions are satisfied.
Plantinga's work in the philosophy of religion has focused on what is sometimes referred to as "negative apologetics": the task of showing that objections to religious belief are unsuccessful. Thus, to take just a few examples, Plantinga has argued that the proposition that God exists is logically consistent with the proposition that evil exists; that the existence of evil does not constitute a defeater for the rationality of Christian belief; that widespread religious pluralism and intractable disagreement on religious matters do not provide reason to doubt that one knows that one's own religious beliefs are true; and that what he takes to be the correct views about human freedom and moral responsibility are not in tension with the traditional belief that God has perfect knowledge of the future.
Plantinga's focus on negative apologetics stems in part from his view that the warrant for Christian belief need not, and, in the ordinary case, does not come from philosophical argument but rather from something like religious experience. This view is a central theme in his work on religious epistemology, especially in the third volume of his Warrant trilogy (discussed above), but also in two earlier works: God and Other Minds (1967), and "Reason and Belief in God." Nevertheless, he does make occasional forays into the territory of positive apologetics. For example, in The Nature of Necessity and God, Freedom and Evil (1977), Plantinga argues that a modal version of the ontological argument for God's existence is both valid and plausibly sound. Likewise, Plantinga has devoted considerable energy to rebutting naturalism and its common companion, materialism.
Besides introducing important arguments into the literature on the philosophy of religion, however, Plantinga has also played an important role in shaping the way in which many religious philosophers now approach topics in their own fields of specialization. In his highly influential paper, "Advice to Christian Philosophers," (1984) Plantinga urges philosophers who share his Christian worldview to allow the presuppositions of that worldview to inform their work not only on topics in the philosophy of religion but elsewhere as well. He advises them not to become swept up in projects that arise out of and embody presuppositions of rival worldviews (such as naturalism or creative anti-realism), but to pursue a philosophical agenda in which one explores how a person with a Christian perspective ought to think about the various topics central to her discipline. This advice, itself an apt expression of one of the distinctive features of Plantinga's own work, has had a significant impact on the sorts of philosophical projects that have been undertaken in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries.

Fresh Fettuccine with Impromptu Cacciatore | Chef Dave, Esq.
Tonight I am playing with new toys and turning water into wine — no worries, I haven't developed a messianic complex. It'll make sense later. My new toys are pasta roller attachments for my KitchenAid stand mixer. I used them last weekend to make some lovely ravioli stuffed with chicken and herbed ricotta. Today I went with some fettuccine and an improvised kinda-sorta chicken cacciatore sauce.
If you want to add a little extra color and flavor, substitute a dry red wine for the water — no miracle-working credentials required. Throw the whole lot into your stand mixer, and blend it with the paddle attachment on low speed until it pulls together, which should take maybe a couple minutes. Switch to the dough hook and let it knead until smooth, probably 3-5 minutes. Remove the dough ball, dust it with flour and cover it with a kitchen towel to rest about 30 minutes.
The next step is to run the dough through the roller to make it smooth and turn it into pasta sheets, gradually working from a wider to a more narrow setting on the roller. If you have these attachments you probably already know how to do that. I divided the dough into three smaller lumps so it would be easier to work with. After my sheets were done, I switched to the fettuccine cutter and ran them through., which took no time at all.
Heat the oil in a large, deep skillet. Sweat the onions for a few minutes without browning them, until they are translucent and tender. Add the garlic and cook for about another minute. Throw in the tomatoes, which you will need to break up with the back of a fork or wooden spoon. Next stir in the tomato paste, oregano leaves and a couple pinches of salt, followed by the chicken. Let this concoction simmer for at least 30 minutes, preferably an hour, to blend all the flavors. If the sauce starts getting too tight, i.e. it reduces too much, add some chicken stock to thin it out. I ended up using close to a pint of stock to maintain a nice consistency over the cook time.
When your sauce is nearly finished, stir in the chopped basil, and boil some salted water for your pasta. The cook time for fresh pasta is much shorter than for dry pasta, maybe 2-3 minutes tops, so watch it closely to avoid overcooking. When the pasta is done, drain it, add your sauce and some fresh grated reggiano, and you're ready to munch it down with a big happy grin on your face. If you have never tried making your own pasta, please do. It's easy and delicious, and you'll feel like a total champ in the kitchen. Until next time: Eat well, my friends!
Yum!! Looks delish, Dave! I'm hoping Santa will bring me a pasta making attachment for my Cuisinart stand mixer this Christmas.

Not all individuals are capable of looking out for their own best interests. Often in these circumstances, the state will appoint a family member to be these individual's guardian—meaning that they will hold important legal rights over the individual and oversee their interests and well-being. Guardians will often be in charge of managing the individual's estate, including finances, debts, and other administrative obligations, as well.
The courts recognize that, in the wrong hands, a guardianship could be disastrous for the protected individual and heartbreaking for a family. That is why both establishing and challenging these legal appointments must be carefully navigated by a Henderson guardianship attorney. At Ford & Friedman, our team is familiar with the laws that govern these arrangements and how to most effectively pursue the desired outcome of your case.

My family loves soup. And now my little Hari joins this group of soup lovers as he demonstrates his fondness by trying to dig his little spoon into the bowl and relishing the taste by feeding himself and his clothes. I don't care very much for this liquid concoction unless it is hearty like this one. The other exception being on a cold and wintery or rainy day when a small cup of hot and peppery soup could perk me up and make me feel warm from within.
But this time it was different! Struck with a bad cold and trying to heal myself naturally by eating the right kind of foods spiked with pepper, ginger and lemon, my body craved for some spicy soup laden with vegetable goodness.
Hot & Sour Soup is Ro's favourite soup and the one he invariably has whenever we dine in a Chinese restaurant. And each time he asks me to make this at home, I say I will and somehow never get around to making it. This has been going on for 8 long years!
I had not cooked Chinese for a long time too and that's when I thought enough was enough and that procrastination could not get the better of me! I decided to spring a surprise on Ro at lunch time this week and made this soup with some burnt corn fried rice and stir fried vegetables with cashews and cranberries. I decided to rely on the healing powers of lime and use it in place of vinegar.
Cooking Chinese/Indo Chinese meals always brings fond memories as it was one of the first cuisines I had cooked for Ro when he was not yet my husband. As expected, in the studio when Ro opened his lunchbox, he was amused, surprised and thrilled! A pity that I wasn't there to see his expression but the sms that followed post the meal said it all! And quite surprisingly, despite the chilli hotness of the soup, Hari ate a few spoons too. He loved the rice too but kept the corn aside. With both my men satisfied, my day was made!
You could use your favourite seasonal vegetables here. Bamboo shoots, if you can source them, go extremely well with this soup.
In a saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat. Stir in the slit green chillies and ginger and cook for a minute or two. Put in the bell pepper, cabbage, carrots, french beans and the caulifower, each at a time and stir fry for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the sugar and pepper powder and stir fry for a minute more.
Add the water or vegetable stock if using, soy sauce, salt and tofu and bring to a boil. Lower the heat, add the cornstarch mixture, increase the heat to medium and boil again. Stir in the lemon juice or vinegar and turn off the heat.
*Add 3 to 3 tbsp cornstarch if you desire more thickness.
I really like hot and sour soup. One of the very few soups i actually enjoy among our regular Indo Chinese soups. Never really attempted to make it at home. Hubby has been craving something spicy with the monsoon and cold bangalore weather and this sounds like the perfect soup for a cold evening. not sure if my daughter will have much as she is not a fan of spice.
thats a perfect soup. I m not a soup person the only soups i love to have is tom yum soup and this one..never tried it at home..
Yum, that looks superb, I need to keep the recipe.
Chinmayie: This is perfect for the monsoons…I assure you…hope your husband loves it!
Mallika : It sure is very healthy!
Kadhyaa: You must try it at home if you love it! Its a breeze to make!
Ashwini: Wonderful! Thanks for reporting your success!
You always make everything look so elegant. This soup looks sensational! Bravo.
Soup looks wonderful and tasty .My first visit here you have a nice space . Do drop by simply.food sometime.
I can't wait to make this, it looks delicious. Found you on Tastespotting and I'm glad.
Thank you for such yummy recipes!
Could you please tell me a substitute for ginger?
Thank you everybody for the kind and wonderful words.
NSJ: Sorry, it took me so long to reply! Somehow missed this! Asafetida is a good substitute for onion and garlic..so I guess you could use a little of that to substitute for the ginger too.
Nina: Those are interesting substitutes. Glad you enjoyed this!
Hi Anu, I made this today.. It tasted very good! I only found it a little on the spicier side. So next time, I am going to skip the green chillies and may be increase the black pepper by a small amount.. Thanks for those clear & detailed instructions.

ASICS Launches Mental Health Initiative with Charity Mind
ASICS has announced a new partnership with mental health charity Mind which will see the brand raise funds as well as aim to get more people active. The brand will help fund support services, including physical activity-based projects, for people experiencing mental health problems, citing the strain of the coronavirus lockdown on the mental wellbeing of millions of people.
The partnership will kick-off with a #SunriseMind campaign to get people moving and to raise funds for Mind. Using sunrise as a symbol of hope, ASICS will be coming together with its athletes – including Eilish McColgan, Noëlle Roorda and Kiryu Yoshihide – to issue an open invitation to people around the world to join their mission to uplift the world. The running brand will encourage 'everyone who can', to move at sunrise and capture the positive impact of movement on their mind with a sunrise selfie. It will then make a donation to Mind for every #SunriseMind selfie shared.
Through the partnership, ASICS says it aims to raise awareness about the benefits of physical activity to mental health as well as using the funds raised to support Mind's research into mental health in sport. In 2021, ASICS says it will undertake a new research project of its own into the positive impact of sport on mental wellbeing, using cutting-edge biometric technology to capture the true impact of sport on the minds of thousands of participants around the world.
Dr. Brendon Stubbs, an exercise and mental health researcher, based at King's College London said: "It is impossible to overstate just how significant the impact sport and exercise have on our mind. It's absolutely vital that people regularly move their body to experience those all-important cognitive and emotional benefits for themselves. Never has there been a more important time to become active and experience the mental health benefits sport and movement bring."
The initiative forms part of the brand's wider move to 'return to its roots'. ASICS is an acronym of the Latin phrase Anima Sana In Corpore Sano, which the brand translates as 'A Sound Mind in a Sound Body'. Its founder, Kihachiro Onitsuka, aimed to 'bring hope and lift spirits' in post-war Japan, which the brand says it aims to do today.
Gary Raucher, EVP Categories at ASICS EMEA said, "We know COVID-19 has put even more pressure on the wellbeing of millions of people. We also know and believe that sport and movement can lift spirits and help people feel better.
"For us, 2021 is about unlocking the unique power of sport to uplift our minds. That starts with encouraging people everywhere to move with us at sunrise and will continue throughout the year as we demonstrate our commitments to our founding philosophy of a sound mind, sound body."

What is up with the Miami (OH) game being played at 6:20 on a Friday night on October 25th?
MikeLogan
That is the same night as midnight madness for men's hoop. I would think the hope is an earlier start means all students stay for the entire game. Last year, almost the entire student section emptied out at the end of the second period to head over to alumni.
PcFriars13
I'm thankful that they're finally addressing that issue. In past years, LNM would be on a Friday or Saturday that hockey was away for. Last year (and the year before) was horrendous.
Good for the students but not good for people that work full time!

It has been awhile that the preseason has been filled with such anticipation. It would be sweet to see the Friars in the NCAAs this year. Sweeter still in Philly. I am looking forward to the trip to Colorado Springs and hope to be in town for the two against Notre Dame in February. I will be in Philly on April and sure hope to see you all then too.

I thought the plan was one more year of Gillies...I think there should be high expectations this year at PC...especially with one of the better young Coaches in the country in Leaman..as far as Gillies I would say(imo)that he plays at least 3 years @ PC...Calgary is in a full scale rebuild mode and with Brian Burke coming on board for the Flames he will not push Gillies too fast,especially goaltenders take time,Gillies is a good one but he would further his development by staying 3 years and then making the next step to the AHL for a couple of seasons...good luck this coming season and have always enjoyed the Maine/PC games over the years. Also lets HOPE that Gillies can led the USA WJ Team to Gold in Sweden later this year..!

The following information and documents relate to the Feehans and Dillons from Co Tipperary who emigrated to the colony of Victoria.
This information was put together by the late Vic Feehan. It was kindly sent to me by Pat Feehan and published with his permission.
It is a draft which unfortunately was not completed but the letters and details included are still wonderful, especially the letters. It is so rare to find letters from this time.
The following is a letter from Richard Feehan in Melbourne to Richard Dillon in Co Tipperary ireland dated Dec 4 1873.
Dillon is a Norman name. The first person called Dillon came to Ireland in 1185 and was Sir Henry de Leon. He was from Brittany in France and came to Ireland to act as secretary to Prince John (later King John) The name in France can be traced back to the town of Lyon. It's Gaelic form was O' Duilleain and this was eventually anglicized to Dillon.
Martin Dillon snr came out from Co Tipperary in Ireland on the "Eastern Empire" arriving 11 June 1863, with his wife and four children. He stayed with his sister Margaret Ryan. His sisters Ellen, Margaret and Bridget and brother James had previously immigrated to Victoria. Bridget married Richard Feehan in 1853 in Victoria, James married Mary Duhy in 1855, Margaret was married to Thomas Ryan and Ellen to John Dalton.
Martin's sister Ellen is buried in the Dalton family grave in the Melbourne Cemetery. She married John Dalton. Roman Catholic compartment E Grave 94. In this grave are buried her daughters Margaret and Catherine, her niece Ellen and her nephew, Patrick Dillon.Also in the grave are James Crowe who died age 72 and was buried on July 5 1866. Ellen's mother's maiden name was Crowe so he could be her uncle.
Most likely the Dillons came from Clonpett in South Tipperary as this is what Martin Snr called his property at Bulla "Clonpett Farm". The mother of Martin and James was Margaret Dillon nee Crowe. Their father was Martin Dillon a farmer. In the Tithe Applotment books for 1832, for Clonpett Civil Parish, Co Tipperary, there is a Martin Dillon listed living in Clonpett Townland. On the Griffith's Valuation for Clonpet 1851 there is a Margaret Dillon at Clonpet. She has a house, offices and land. In the house next to her was Patrick Quirk, who had 64 acres of land. In the 1901 Census there are no Dillons living at Clonpet but there are Quirkes in 1901,1911 and 1940.
Martin Dillon snr would have been about 35 years of age when he immigrated with his wife Hanora Quirk. They had married in Co Tipperary in c1857. By 1879 they had twelve children.
The Dillons bought the property Craig Bank from the Patullo family. They renamed it Willow Bank. It is at 400 Wildwood Road, Wildwood, Bulla and was constructed in the mid 1850s. The buildings are set among river gums on a knoll beside an alluvial flat overlooking Deep Creek.
"The Dillon family-Martin Sr., Martin Jr., Michael and William- worked about 850 acres until the turn of the century, which coincides with the death of Martin Dillon Sr. in June 1900. before then, however, Martin Dillon Sr had taken up residence with his wife Honora, on a farm called Clonpett, which encompassed the 217 acres of Allotment 2 of Section 27 in the Parish of Bulla Bulla and fronted the Bulla -Sunbury Road. The present weatherboard house is thought by the Dillon family to have been built in the late 1890s or early 1900s. Prior to that one of the Dillon daughters, a small girl at the time remembers living in the whitewashed stone dwelling (the current building) which had a timber attachment housing washtubs. It may have been only temporary accommodation, during rebuilding the main weatherboard house. When the family moved into the "new house" they acquired a piano, which became a great fixture. The area around the river at the bridge attracted excursionists at least from the time of the late nineteenth century. The Dillons came to know a few families from Melbourne suburbs who camped and fished there every year. The girls would bake for the visitors, and on the Sunday evenings the campers would be invited into the Dillon home for a sing around the piano. The site near the bridge is known as the Martin Dillon Reserve. William Dillon was Shire President in 1897-98″.
The Dillon family were well known in the district and active in local government.
Martin Dillon Snr died a tragic death by accidental drowning in Jackson's Creek Bulla in 1900. He was 73 years old. There were many articles in papers about this accident and the recovery of his body. He is buried in Sunbury Cemetery. These clippings are from The Argus June -August 1900.
Martin Dillon jnr was married to Elizabeth "Lizzie" Flanagan in 1892 at St Francis Church, Melbourne. He was a farmer and in 1900 resided at Craig Bank (The Dillons later renamed it Willowbank). They had four children: Mary Josephine, Margaret, John and Ellen.
Martin Dillon jnr's eldest daughter, Mary Josephine, married William Patrick Fanning in 1920 and lived at "Sunnyside" in Bulla. They farmed and had three children.
I remember Mary Josephine as "Aunty Daisy". In her later years she lived in Essendon with her daughter, Elizabeth "Betty". She loved walking and I would often see her taking long walks around Essendon. She used to call in and have a cup of tea with my mother who was very fond of her. I remember Aunty Daisy with affection. She died in 1970 and is buried with her husband, William Patrick Fanning, in Bulla Cemetery.
The following genealogy report traces the ancestry of the Dillon family from Co Tipperary Ireland to Victoria Australia.
Bulla Bridge built 1869 crosses Deep Creek. The town of Bulla is situated in a valley along Deep Creek, a tributary of the Maribyrnong River. In 1861 there were 136 people in the Bulla census, in 1891 there were 306 and in 1933 there were 174.
The area in Bulla, Victoria, Australia where the Fanning family from Thurles Co Tipperary Ireland settled in the 1840's was established almost entirely by Irish families.
Willow Bank was the home of the Dillons. The Dillons were from Sth Tipperary, most likely from Clonpet Parish. There is a Margaret Dillon at Clonpet. Also at Solohead Graveyard (about 13kms from Clonpet) there is a grave of a Martin Dillon who died 26/2/1843 aged 62. His spouse is a Margaret. I wonder if this could be Margaret Crowe the mother of Martin Dillon Snr?
The Ryans and the Fannings were both from Thurles, Co Tipperary. The Cahills and the Feehans were also from Co Tipperary. Thomas Branigan came from Cullen in Co.Louth and the McAuliffe family was from Co. Limerick.
These families were also connected through marriage. Mary (Daisy) Dillon married William Patrick Fanning, Mary Ryan married James Feehan and Martin Cahill was married to Mary McAuliffe.
