Shaun White, having won two consecutive gold medals in the halfpipe, is possibly the best-known member of the United States Olympic team. When he drops into the halfpipe, he does it at full speed – an aggressiveness that distinguishes him.
White accomplishes many things during his electrifying runs, but everything flows from his speed, his fearlessness and his anxiety about finishing second. White has one trick that very few have been able to match. He learned it after coming in second at a qualifying event for the 2010 Olympics.
The Double McTwist 1260 has two complete flips and 540 degrees of spin, which adds up to 1260 degrees of total rotation. The effect is that of a gyroscope, dizzying to the untrained eye.
The speed and the direction of the takeoff determine a lot. As he hits the top of the pipe, White initiates motion in two directions — a frontward flip and a sideways spin.
A hidden key to White's success is how he lands. With few exceptions, he lands near the top of the pipe, giving him a lengthy downhill run to gather speed for his next trick.

Tonight I got lost in the city. Not in a good area. And my cell phone died. And I don't carry cash. Did you know that there are still pay phones in some areas? And you can still make a collect call? Let's just say that it was an adventurous night. So what to do when you finally make it home and it is quite late, and your famished? The need to find something quick and simple is the only thing that matters and it doesn't get any easier than a quesadilla. Tortillas are another one of the items I do keep on hand at all times. From a quick simple wrap to baked chips, they are great and versatile in a pinch!
After the cheese, anything else is gray. You cannot go wrong with bacon. Bacon is the spice of life that gives everything an over the top flavor. I like a hearty thick cut smokey bacon. Expect to have more bacon conversation in future blogs. You will want to fry up the bacon first, then add the bacon and a little chopped roasted red pepper on top of the cheese. Place another tortilla on top (or simply fold over half if you just using one tortilla.) Place in a large fry pan. You have two choices here - to use butter on the outside of the tortilla or no butter. My preference is no butter. While it does make the quesadilla more decadent, I just don't feel it's needed. (Dave would disagree here.) The tortillas will crisp nicely without it. But this is a decision you will need to make on your own. So simply cook on each side until golden brown and crispy. If you have salsa handy, it's a nice little compliment on the side. This calls for a good middle of the road beer, not too heavy, not to light; try a Goose Island Nut Brown Ale. The quesadilla is also a great evening snack if you have had a busy night imbibing and somehow forgot to eat. It's like a late night pub run you don't have to get out of your footie pajamas for. Enjoy!

Chelsea sack Tuchel: Brighton's Mac Allister hopes Potter will snub Blues
By Sports Desk September 07, 2022
Brighton and Hove Albion's Alexis Mac Allister believes Graham Potter sits among the world's elite, saying he would rather not think about his manager's potential move to Chelsea.
Potter has emerged as a frontrunner to succeed Thomas Tuchel at Stamford Bridge following the German's shock dismissal.
He is reportedly set to meet Chelsea owner Todd Boehly on Wednesday.
Since taking charge at Brighton, Potter has overseen a steady period of growth, culminating in last year's best-ever Premier League finish (ninth).
The start of the new campaign has seen Brighton win four of their opening six league matches, taking 13 points in total.
But Mac Allister hopes Potter will stay put, while hailing him as one of finest managerial minds in the sport.
"For sure [he is among the elite coaches in world football], he will be an amazing coach," Mac Allister told Sky Sports.
"Hopefully he will stay here all his life but, at the same time, we know that will maybe be difficult, but he is really important for us as a club.
"I prefer not to think about [life without him] to be honest. Graham is really important for us, and we don't think about the future.
"We think about the present and he is here now, and we know we've got an important game at the weekend. We want the coaching staff to help us win that game."
Asked whether Potter had mentioned Chelsea during a team photograph session earlier on Wednesday, Mac Allister added: "I don't know anything.
"We didn't speak about any situation. The boss is really important for us, we want him to be here for a long time."

Transfer deadline day: Chelsea working on record Fernandez deal, Cancelo to go and Caicedo to stay?
Chelsea have splashed the cash this month and could break the Premier League record by landing Enzo Fernandez before the transfer window closes on Tuesday.
The Blues have already spent big to bring Mykhailo Mudryk to Stamford Bridge, while Noni Madueke, Joao Felix and Benoit Badiashile are among their other recruits.
Fernandez could follow from Benfica on what promises to be a busy deadline day as clubs across Europe scramble to get late deals done.
It remains to be seen if Arsenal can tempt Brighton and Hove Albion to part with Moises Caicedo.
Joao Cancelo looks set to swap Manchester City for Bayern Munich on loan and Paris Saint-Germain could finally seal a deal for long-time target Milan Skriniar along with Hakim Ziyech.
Stats Perform has picked out the standout transfers that could go through before the deadline.
BLUES TO SHOW THE COLOUR OF THEIR MONEY FOR WORLD-CUP WINNER?
Fernandez emerged as a target for Chelsea following his influential displays for Argentina during their World Cup triumph in Qatar.
The London club have wasted no time in building a new-look squad since a Todd Boehly-led consortium completed a takeover and Graham Potter arrived as head coach.
They have already made huge statements this month, none more so than snaring winger Mudryk from under the noses of Premier League leaders Arsenal.
Chelsea are working on trying to secure the services of Fernandez for a reported fee of £105.5million (€120m), which would break the Premier League record of £100m City paid Aston Villa for Jack Grealish.
CAICEDO A NO-GO?
Arsenal have already raided Brighton to bring wantaway winger Leonadro Trossard to the capital.
The Gunners have failed with big-money offers for centre midfielder Caicedo, who last week made it clear he wants to join the Premier League leaders.
Arsenal are said to be ready to test the Seagulls' resolve again on deadline-day with a third bid of £75m, but Brighton want to keep him for the rest of the season.
If they do not get an offer they cannot refuse, Arsenal could turn to Leicester City's Youri Tielemans or Chelsea's Jorginho.
CANCELO BAYERN-BOUND
Eyebrows were raised on Monday when it came to light that Bayern are poised to bring Cancelo to the Bundesliga from City.
The Portugal full-back Cancelo has fallen out of favour at the Etihad Stadium, having reportedly had a bust-up with Pep Guardiola.
A loan deal would be great business for Bayern as they hunt more trophies and this one is expected to go through.
PSG'S SKRINIAR PERSISTENCE COULD PAY OFF, ZIYECH TO FOLLOW?
While Bayern's move for Cancelo has come late in the window, Skriniar has long since been a target for PSG.
The Inter centre-back is only under contract at the end of the season and with the Serie A giants unable to tie him to a deal, it has been seemingly only a matter of time before he moves on.
PSG should finally get their man before the window closes, with the defender having already confirmed he has agreed terms with the Ligue 1 champions. Chelsea winger Ziyech could also be on his way to the French capital.
Rumour Has It: Arsenal make late push for midfield reinforcements including Jorginho, Tielemans
Arsenal are still desperate to add a new face in central midfield and will reportedly make late runs at Chelsea's Jorginho and Leicester City's Youri Tielemans before the transfer deadline.
Tielemans is one of Leicester's top talents, appearing in all 20 of their Premier League games this season while contributing three goals and an assist from his 18 starts.
Jorginho is in his fifth season at Stamford Bridge and remains an integral part of Chelsea's squad, making 15 league starts this season, including wearing the captain's armband in their two most recent fixtures.
However, both players are in the final six months of their contracts and are set to become available via free transfers at the end of the campaign, and their clubs may be willing to accept a significantly reduced figure for highly valuable assets.
TOP STORY – GUNNERS GUNNING FOR MIDFIELD ACTION AT THE DEADLINE
According to Football London, Arsenal's pursuit of 21-year-old Brighton and Hove Albion standout Moises Caicedo appears to have been unsuccessful, and they now view Jorginho as an acceptable alternative.
The report states Chelsea are willing to let the Italy international leave, indicating he will become expendable if the impending arrival of Benfica's Enzo Fernandez comes to fruition.
Football London also adds Arsenal will make another push at both Caicedo and Real Sociedad's Martin Zubimendi, but they are considered unlikely options.
Meanwhile, 90min claims Leicester would be more open to allowing Tielemans to leave if they were not locked in a relegation battle, but as it stands they would need a "huge" bid to prioritise a transfer fee over their Premier League survival.
– Calciomercato is reporting Leeds United will try to secure Roma's Nicolo Zaniolo after he snubbed Bournemouth, but Roma are unlikely to accept unless the full transfer fee is paid up front.
– According to L'Equipe, Paris Saint-Germain are interested in a loan move for Chelsea's Hakim Ziyech, who would prefer a loan to France instead of a fellow Premier League side.
– Manchester United captain Harry Maguire has rejected a loan approach from Inter and will instead opt to fight for his place, although he will re-evaluate his future at the end of the season, per the Daily Star.
– El Nacional is reporting Liverpool will make a run at signing Chelsea's N'Golo Kante when his contract expires after the season.
– According to Football Insider, Southampton have agreed to meet the £26.2million (€30m) release clause for 22-year-old Braga forward Vitinha.
Uruguay left-back Vina signs for Bournemouth on loan
Matias Vina has joined Bournemouth on an initial loan deal, which contains an option to make a permanent move from Roma.
The Uruguay left-back signed for Roma from Palmeiras in 2021 and has appeared 29 times in Serie A.
But Vina has been limited to just 54 league minutes under Jose Mourinho this season and has left for Bournemouth at least until the end of the campaign.
The 25-year-old is reportedly set to be joined at his new club by Sassuolo midfielder Hamed Traore and Dynamo Kyiv defender Ilya Zabarnyi on Tuesday's transfer deadline day.
Bournemouth appear to have failed in a bid for Nicolo Zaniolo had have already brought in Dango Ouattara and Antoine Semenyo.
Meanwhile, Roma are said to be close to signing Diego Llorente from Leeds United.

Whirlybird Society and Fan Club
Christy Leichty and Jim Phillips say, "The Whirlybird – Not a place, but an underground movement. . . folks highly motivated by fun. . . creating valuable art, cultural & social experiences."
Whirlybird Creatives
Flight history
Tooting our horns
A great idea – a fan club
Tiers of membership
The Whirlybird, Underground Honky Tonk and Folk Art Museum
Here we are hanging out in the Bird. (BTW – we have had a lot of great comments about this photo – it was taken by our friend and photographer, Robin May.)
You can see it in our eyes – we are dreaming up more fun and fun ways for folks to help us keep it all going. The Whirlybird building was magically and generously returned to us by a friend on a hand-shake – but, it turns out we need some help to finally get the building paid off. Borrowing is not a good solution to this situation.
We got this idea of a Whirlybird Fan Club from friends – a Fan Club with membership that is specifically geared to clear the debt to a Whirlybird friend who made it possible to continue Whirlybird activities, to support our creative and artistic efforts with The Whirlybird, and, to create a supplemental fund for payments to collaborating artists. Read all about it. . . and join us. And, Jim has decided to throw in some personal stories – lagniappe and as an enticement – stories from a life of fun and adventure – chapters from his first literary projects. Be the first to read – well, we mean – hear some of Jim's stories in audio form right here on a special webpage created just for you as a subscribing member of The Whirlybird Society and Fan Club.
Be one of the first to go on a self-discovery trip with Jim as he explores the "WHY?" behind his mother's "thinking-out-loud" comment at the dinner table one night. It was years after his father had died, and his Mom was in a pensive mood, looking innocently and thoughtfully towards him, but yet beyond him, as if she were contemplating the great mysteries of life, when she quietly said, "I can't believe you came from your father and me."
https://fanclub.thewhirlybird.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/I-Cant-Believe.mp3
Now, if, after experiencing Jim's stories you want to come back and jack up your subscription and membership fees, Jim assures all that will be no problem.
https://fanclub.thewhirlybird.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/YouKnowWhatWeMean.mp3
Pure and simple – we fell in love with Acadiana's culture and bought an old "camp" – a weekend place with a cabin – just outside Opelousas. When our friends wanted to know what the two of us were going to do with that place, they laughed when we pledged, "We're gonna put a dancehall in the yard." Then, we did.
A local friend found an old tin-sided rail-yard freight depot we could afford to purchase and move to our camp. (Yes, these things happen in Louisiana.) With the help of many friends, while we were traveling back and forth between California and Louisiana bringing loads of folk art with us, we created a "cultural house of fun" bigger than anything we ever imagined or planned.
In late August 2005, the night before Hurricane Katrina hit the coastline, having finally finished major construction and having most of our early renovations done, we had a party. Our Irish friend, Tony Davoren, described it as a "bar wetting" party. But, most everyone left early to prepare for the hurricane. As our friend, John Vidrine, a safety engineer said, "Take this one seriously." We all did.
Since Katrina, using mostly recycled materials, we installed a dance floor and a bandstand, a small kitchen and an ornate, salvaged wood bar. We added 2 bathrooms with hot showers along with two "very cool" private bedrooms we call the Kingdom of Zydeco and the Esquire Ballroom. There's a story behind each name. We occasionally rent the bedrooms through online travel clubs as vacation rentals to help us pay for the building and utilities, however, it has been a bit slow, considering we are reluctant to advertise. We want to keep The Whirlybird intimate, non-commercial. We want to continue maintaining The Whirlybird as an expression of our love for fun through folk art, music, dancing, cooking and eating, libations, hugging, laughter, and storytelling.
Once our talented musician and artist friends in Louisiana discovered The Whirlybird, they told their friends and families, and after Katrina, The Whirlybird became a local vehicle for hurricane recovery. It became a handy form of cultural, emotional and spiritual medicine. Fun goes a long way. One of our mottos was – "Come get you some." And, we all have.
Soon the "the 'Bird" rocked with parties and cooking, creative and collaborative projects among artists, dancing and live music, and movie nights and stage plays and storytelling. After the Cajun Americana band the Red Stick Ramblers shot their first music video there, fans around the world marveled at this honky tonk rooted in another era. The Ramblers' label, Sugar Hill Records of Nashville, called it "Opelousas, Louisiana's premier underground nite spot." Christy told me Sam Broussard, 2008 Grammy Nominee for Best Zydeco or Cajun Music Album, told her, "I believe we're looking at the inside of Jim Phillips' head".
Since the beginning, Christy and I have worked hard and have sacrificed to ensure it's more like an underground "family rec-room gone wild" instead of just another public venue driven by watered-down pop culture and the almighty dollar. The music and fun haven't stopped. Since we moved full time to Louisiana in 2006, surprisingly, the Whirlybird has moved, too – that is, between its location at the camp to our permanent residence.
There's a magical story about that move. During the Global financial crisis, starting 2007-08, we had no choice but to sell our beloved camp, and unfortunately, The Whirlybird building had to be sold – and left behind. But miraculously the 'Bird came back to us, thanks to a local friend and fan who also happens to be our house mover. Having our best interest in mind, knowing its history and cultural value, and having an opportunity to help us continue the cultural phenomena that is the Whirlybird dream of Christy and Jim, this friend kept the building from destruction and sold it back to us and moved it to our permanent residence 10 miles away on a hand-shake and a promise. Of course, we want to keep our promise and we need to finish repaying this friend as soon as possible, however, unforeseen expenses and a slow down in our vacation rentals have slowed us down. We are asking for help from our community – the one that shares the fun of the Whirlybird with us and appreciates our artistic and cultural work.
https://fanclub.thewhirlybird.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/fawns.mp3
The 'Bird has inspired songs by International artists, and, hosted the making of documentary films and International television programs and music videos, and it has hosted music artist's CD recordings and release parties. The 'Bird created a special place for people to have cherished spiritual experiences through art by talented artists, to fall in love and change their lives forever, to have intimate weddings and anniversary parties, to enjoy crawfish boils and poetry readings – and, of course, to have wonderful house concert and dance adventures like no other. Last but not least, there are epic annual events: there are Thanksgiving potluck celebrations every year, sometimes with honky tonk dances, jam sessions and bonfires – and – The Revelers Annual Lundi Gras Blowout – and – The Annual Pre-Blackpot Camp Throw Down. The 'Bird is where many international visitors, brought by friends, have savored their first unique American and Southwest Louisiana-style cultural experiences.
Here's what formidable Southern Living Magazine had to say about our folk art/cultural project: "Some of the biggest names in Cajun music and beyond "pass a good time" there."
In Country Roads Magazine, this is how Lucie Monk Carter described us: "The two are both educators, notably having founded the Steampunk and Makers Fair in Lafayette; the instinct to guide a group through cultural awakening shows in the mere existence of The Whirlybird as well as the strictures that make pure joy possible within."
The Whirlybird is bigger than us – Christy and Jim, that is. But, The Whirlybird is us – it is our artistic and cultural expression – it represents us, the 2 artists that created it and continue to make it fly. Most our fans know it takes more than vision to keep The Whirlybird generating that joy it represents – it takes a lot of sweat equity. And, we have to say it – it also takes money. It takes money to pay off the re-purchased building, to maintain the 80 ft. long building and adjacent grounds, pay for utilities, and to sustain a lively calendar of activities, as well as, pay collaborative artists fairly for their work.
In the beginning we did not charge admissions, but acquiesced when the tip jars didn't produce enough money for the collaborative artists and normal expenses. Today, having debt on the building, we are finding that raising enough money through admissions and the online vacation rentals of the Whirlybird bedrooms is still not enough to consistently pay collaborating artists a fair stipend or to just keep up with basic expenses related to activities and pay back for the building. We were never "in the black" but keeping up and staying "close to the line" is made more and more difficult, considering we have an aversion to publicize. We want to keep the special intimate atmosphere alive and going forward. We also need to pay off the balance due on the building, which would release a lot of the financial pressure each month by squaring us with our generous friend who made the continuation possible.
That's where our shared plan idea – for a "Whirlybird Society and Fan Club" with different levels of sponsorship, and, for communicating directly to the membership through emails and a blog – comes in. Consulting with friends, we are convinced there is a "flight" (a group) of Whirlybird fans who understand the unique value the 'Bird offers them personally and to our community at large. We believe there are enough fans and friends who like the idea that The Whirlybird exists in the world, fans and friends who do not like the idea that Whirlybird activities may be curtailed or limited or ceased, We know there are fans and friends who want The Whirlybird and our activities to be sustainable. Christy and I hope you will support the idea of a membership style club that financially supports us as the creative artists and the "little engine that could" keep the 'Bird aloft and flying high.
We learned about this sponsorship/fan membership idea from other artist friends who are doing this through various online programs. This concept of person to person, communal support and patronage for artists is the new way in the digital world to directly support artists and projects you particularly love. With so many "cut-backs" to art, culture and artists, digital life is a natural path for creatives all over the world to find their fans. And, here we are looking for our fans and fans of The Whirlybird.
Our goal is to raise $600 to $1000 per month through the Fan Club to help pay for the building and maintenance, and, pay each artist a guaranteed amount that the admissions do not always cover – especially when we have multiple bands and additional artists.
There is a tiered membership. Members can support our creative efforts for as little as a $1.99 per month (less than a cup of coffee from you-know-where) – or you can jack it up to $27 per month (hey, it worked for Bernie). We do have friends who give to their favorite animal shelter $30 bucks per month…
In return, we will provide the following EXCLUSIVE "tiered" perks just for members.
For $1.99 per month – a Whirlybird sticker and one wrist band per year for admission to ticketed events – AND get the links to JIM'S STORIES
or $4.99 per month – two Whirlybird stickers and 4 wrist bands per year for admission to ticketed events – AND get the links to JIM'S STORIES
or $9.99 per month – two Whirlybird stickers, 6 wrist bands per year for admission to ticketed events, staying overnight in The Whirlybird or in The Folk Art Barn or at Stonewood Plantation and having breakfast with Christy & Jim – AND get the links to JIM'S STORIES
or $19.99 per month – two Whirlybird stickers, 8 wrist bands per year for admission to ticketed events, staying overnight in The Whirlybird or in The Folk Art Barn or at Stonewood Plantation and having breakfast with Christy & Jim – AND get the links to JIM'S STORIES
or $27.00 per month (like Bernie) – two Whirlybird stickers, admission to all ticketed events, staying overnight for a weekend of your choice in The Whirlybird or in The Folk Art Barn or at Stonewood Plantation and having breakfast Saturday and Sunday with Christy & Jim – AND get the links to JIM'S STORIES
"Our creative lives are the fuels that feed the creative engine that generates the power to drive the pistons and turn the gears and rotate the rotors that delivers the lift and causes The Whirlybird to fly."
Don't forget to tell friends who have the inclination and the wherewithal to contribute to the arts and two of your favorite artists. Thank You.

Beach Fees, Facilities, Boardwalks, and more.
New Jersey beaches along the 127 miles of the Jersey shore are a natural landscape of beauty, clean ocean water, refreshing breezes and beautiful, white sandy beaches, making the Jersey Shore one of the most desired vacation destinations on the east coast.
The beaches in Cape May County are especially known for their wide, fine, powdery sand, and are considered to be among the best beaches on the Atlantic coast.
New Jersey beach uses are endless. Swimming, body surfing, boogie-boarding, fishing, boating, concerts, fireworks, and more.
If a peaceful day by the ocean is what you seek, beaches from Sandy Hook to Cape May are ideal. Singles and families can enjoy surfing, wind surfing, scuba diving, rafting and swimming.
All 71 of New Jersey's shore towns have great accommodations and a wide range of activities.
Most of the Jersey shore municipalities charge for the use of the beaches by issuing beach badges. The fees from this charge go to pay for the cost of maintaining the beach, none of the revenue from these fees go to offset other municipal services.
This is no different than a toll charged for the use of a highway. Badges and beach fees are required for both residents and visitors.
The cost to maintain a beach is enormous; They include the costs of tractors raking the beach each morning, sanitation crews cleaning up after visitors and emptying the trash cans, providing well trained lifeguards to safeguard the safety of bathers, providing and maintaining rest rooms, and more.
For all this, the cost of a daily adult beach fee of $5 - $10 is a huge bargain.
While the large majority of New Jersey beaches have charges for access, free beach access can found at Keansburg and Sandy Hook in Monmouth County; Island Beach State Park in Ocean County; Atlantic City in Atlantic County; and both Strathmere and the Wildwoods in Cape May County.
Need to know about New Jersey beaches, their badge fees, parking, restrooms, Boardwalks, rules, and whether fishing is permitted? You can find that information below at each of the county beach pages.
Monmouth County beaches are located at the northern most end of the Jersey shore and are the most crowded and frequented by day trippers, locals, and visitors from northern NJ.
Ocean County beaches are popular with both day trippers and vacationers. They are not as crowded as the Monmouth County beaches though more crowded than the Atlantic and Cape May County beaches.
The Cape May County beaches in the southern end of the Jersey shore are known for their wide, fine, powdery sand, and are considered to be among the best beaches on the Atlantic coast.


The Olympic torch attracted thousands as it toured the grounds of Hampton Court Palace on the final day of the torch relay.
Olympic medallist Sir Matthew Pinsent had a starring role, carrying the flame high through the majestic West Gate entrance of the palace.
The buzzing crowds lining the riverside went wild with excitement when they got their first glimpse of the flame emerging from the inside the palace walls.
Sir Matthew said it was very difficult to compare his role carrying the torch with his role in previous games as an Olympic rower.
The Chiswick resident said: "There wasn't an awful lot of preparation involved with my role in the torch relay, but it's still an important day for London and to be a part of that is very special."
His wife Demetra, 38, speaking before he appeared with the torch, said: "I'm really proud of him, it's a really special moment for him and he's been looking forward to this for years - having the Olympics in London.
Their son Lucas, six, wore a special Olympic outfit for the occasion and said he wanted to win more medals that his daddy when he grew up.
Sir Matthew used his flame to light a ceremonial cauldron on royal row barge the Gloriana, which was named by the Queen as part of her diamond jubilee celebrations.
Before his leg, the torch began its 70th day at the Teddington gate of Bushy Park, before heading round the palace maze and historical gardens.
Tracey Adins, who watched the torch travel through Kingston days before said: "We were one of the fist here but ended up right at the back.
Lewis Skinner, nine, said his favourite moment was seeing the Gloriana, but his friend Hadley Perez, nine, disagreed and said his two-second appearance on Daybreak, who were filming events, was the best part of the whole day.

Q: Async WebApi ActionFilterAttribute. An asynchronous module or handler completed while an asynchronous operation was still pending I understand await waits for a task (an awaitable) to complete.
But I'm confused about what that actually means.
The code that doesn't work:
public async override void OnActionExecuted(HttpActionExecutedContext actionExecutedContext)
{
    if (actionExecutedContext.Response.Content != null)
    {
        var responseContent = await actionExecutedContext.Response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
        DoSomething(responseContent);
    }
}

The code that does work:

public override void OnActionExecuted(HttpActionExecutedContext actionExecutedContext)
{
    if (actionExecutedContext.Response.Content != null)
    {
        var responseContent = actionExecutedContext.Response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().ContinueWith(
        task =>
        {
            DoSomething(task.Result);
        });
    }
}

Obviously the error message An asynchronous module or handler completed while an asynchronous operation was still pending. tells me that there was no waiting for the async call to complete but instead the "main" thread continued. I expected the thread to continue but not within the current method. I thought the thread would return to the asp.net stack do some other work and return once the await asyncOperation() operation completed.
I'm using await in other places too - (e.g. waiting for web service responses) - and I didn't run into similar problems anywhere. I wonder why the IActionFilterAttribute behaves differently. In fact my web service calls probably take way longer than reading the content of the response into a string.
Can someone please enlighten me? I have the feeling I didn't understand the concept.

A: Instead of implementing
public async override void OnActionExecuted(HttpActionExecutedContext actionExecutedContext)

you have to implement the async version of OnActionExecuted method as follows:
public override Task OnActionExecutedAsync(HttpActionExecutedContext actionExecutedContext, CancellationToken cancellationToken)

This way you can use await inside a method and behavior will be as you expected.
Hope this helps.

A: Adding async code to a method that returns void is dangerous and almost never what you actually want to do. See What's the difference between returning void and returning a Task?.
Instead, you need to override/implement a method that returns a task. In this case, ActionFilterAttribute hides the Task that IHttpActionFilter provides, so you'll need to implement IActionFilter (ExecuteActionFilterAsync) instead. If you want to use you code as an attribute, just make sure you also derive from the Attribute class.
For example:
public class AsyncActionFilterAttribute : Attribute, IActionFilter
{
    public async Task<HttpResponseMessage> ExecuteActionFilterAsync(HttpActionContext actionContext, CancellationToken cancellationToken, Func<Task<HttpResponseMessage>> continuation)
    {
        HttpResponseMessage response = await continuation();
        DoSomething(response);
        return response;
    }
}

Our communities are experiencing high rates of HIV/AIDS diagnosis, teen pregnancy, mental illness, rise in violent crimes and drug addiction. As noted by the Center of Disease Control, in 2009 adults and adolescents living in the South had the highest incidences of AIDS in the United States. In a similar 2010 fact sheet also available through the CDC, teen pregnancy birth rates for teens between 15 and 19 years of age in the United States were 34.2 per 1000. Twenty percent or more of children living in the U.S. have and suffer with a mental disorder. More that half of these cases begin by or before age 14. In addition, drug use and addiction continue to be prevalent in our society resulting in mental illness, disease and family dysfunction.

As the situation surrounding Omicron intensifies throughout the United Kingdom, we're asking clubs to begin seriously focusing on contingency plans to cover a number of outcomes for January 2022.
We know – that feeling in the bit of the stomach again. We felt it constantly throughout 2020 and finally felt it ease as summer of 2021 saw the Return to Play policies slowly allow us back to the mats. Initially there had been optimism around Omicron as it seemed to appear as a less serious variant in terms of the likelihood of becoming seriously unwell. Unfortunately the Government's predictions – right or wrong – appear to be leaning more and more toward mass hospitalisations. As we all remember from 2020, this means more restrictions on our freedoms and – as it has previously – this spills into the sport and recreation sector.
This is nothing to do with politics. We're not judging the Government's measures as right or wrong. We do believe (as we did in 2020) that Sport and Fitness should be prioritised and we remain baffled by previous measures making it legal to visit the cinema and stop off for a pint on the way home, but illegal to workout! All that aside, we can use past events to try and predict future outcomes.
Many main-stream media outlets are now rumouring leaked documents that speak of the need for much more drastic action as early as December 18th. Many more are speculating that the main 'hit' of Omicron will arrive in January 2022 following Christmas mixing.
Eitherway, now is the time to prepare. Around a week ago when Omicron first arrived on our shores, we posted about our three planned outcomes for Martial Arts. You can revisit our three supposed outcomes at the bottom of this post for a recap if needed.
What Should Martial Arts Clubs Expect In January 2022?
Who knows! If multiple media reports are correct (BBC News, Guardian, Daily Mail as a few examples) we should anticipate a fairly serious re-introduction of restrictions. This has been likened to the infamous phases of exit from lockdown from earlier in 2021. At Phase 2, which happened after 12th April 2021, gyms could re-open but only for individual training. Group sessions were not permitted. We sincerely hope the Government may have prioritised sport and fitness this time around and with any luck, martial arts (being part of the sport & gym restriction setting) will be able to continue lessons in January. It seems plausible to expect a restriction on physical contact meaning non-contact training only, per Phase 1 of our interim return to play policy which was approved by Sport England.
The ball is very much up in the air. Unlike in previous months, this time it feels like it could fall out of the court completely. With this in mind, it's crucial clubs plan for a number of outcomes starting with the worst first.
Complete closure of all group and individual training, reverting to online lessons
Allowance for outdoor socially distanced training only in small groups
Continuation of indoor training but on an individual only basis
Continuation of indoor training on a group basis but with no contact
Possibility of adults being restricted but children being permitted contact training, in-line with our Return to Play policy.
Continuation of contact training 'as is' but with added COVID restrictions.
This is a really heavy lift for clubs to face up to so close to Christmas but we fear if you don't plan for this now, you may have very little time to react to changes in legislation from Government. As we know, the DCMS tend to talk with the NGB network and inform them of changes, but as an independent club we're often the last to know. Planning – even if roughly – for all 6 outcomes will help you ensure you can fall back on pre-arranged content and planning in advance. In practical terms, you should start to think of lesson plans and how you can manage deviations and controls on contact, mixing, sparring and grappling. This is especially true if you're a grappling art. You should also speak to venues to be prepared for changes to bookings, as well as thinking about where or how you might deliver online classes as well as any possibility of outdoor classes.
We may well be in for a tough Q1 2022 (January to March). Preserving cashflow and being careful with your spending early in January will be important however we expect to know roughly 'just how bad' the situation is after the Christmas break, if not before.
BMABA will stand shoulder to shoulder with your club in 2022, regardless of the outcome. Our instinct is that restrictions may land somewhere between 3 to 5, but it seems perfectly possible we could see a complete temporary closure of gyms again. Closures or restrictions should be relatively short lived in 2022 and we doubt they will run for more than a few months, but planning and forecasting for various outcomes will be important for clubs of all sizes if you are to 'hold steady' when things return in January.
We will update and re-release our hugely successful and completely free COVID-Award Instructor Certification very early in January of 2022 so clubs can refresh their knowledge and show students and parents fresh certification. We will also re-open our (still available) COVID Recovery Toolkit to make pre-made press releases, covid risk assessments, venue liaison services, marketing and more all freely available. We need to await a clearer idea of the direction of travel for restrictions first – but we are ready to respond promptly. Likewise, a brand new student management system and member's area will be ready for clubs to use early 2022 and this will help clubs deliver online training to members only.
We may be on for a difficult first few months of 2022. As Giovanni (our Chief Exec.) always says – the 7 P's are essential (proper planning and preparation prevents a pi*s poor performance). You can lean on us as much as is needed, even during the Christmas closure period, and we'll remain available and responsive to changes in law and COVID restrictions.
We can be optimistic, but we should prepare for the worst (hope for the best, plan for the worst). If we're lucky, we will continue in January with added hygiene or a slight restriction on some aspects of contact. Our key aim is to see you return in the best possible capacity. Please keep an eye on MyBMABA and our App for the latest updates and don't forget to follow us on Facebook for the latest news and developments.
From our earlier post dated 29th November 2021.
As the old saying goes; "plan for the worst, hope for the best" and so we're pre-planning three outcomes – A, B and C – to ensure our clubs are able to respond rapidly to changes in guidance from DCMS (Department For Digital, Culture, Media & Sport) and Government.
Plan A assumes that we do not see any material changes to legislation around grassroots sports and, in particular, combat sports. This would mean very much everything continuing 'as is' for us in the martial arts world, despite some wider restrictions being re-imposed on the broader public.
As it stands at time of writing (29/11/21) there is nothing within the Government plans that should give way to immediate concern however for broader restrictions such as face coverings in shops to be re-imposed, clubs should now start planning for a more severe reaction trickling through to sports and recreation.
We don't know, but our best guess would be January or February. Many clubs are winding down for Christmas in the coming weeks and whilst there is a crucial review on-going at present to see what impact Omicron has on health care, vaccines and other key services, any fallout (if the feedback is negative) is likely to emerge after the Christmas Festivities similarly to last year.
Plan B works on the 'best worst case' scenario and is the outcome we feel could be most likely re-instated if infections continue to rise and wider society is once again caught up in some form of 'lockdown' or 'crackdown'. Under Plan B, we're asking clubs to be ready to move back into the RtP (Return to Play) process as was in place throughout much of the early to late summer of 2021.
The Return to Play process was, in our eyes, full of blatant bias and outrageous oversights but within three weeks of it coming into plan we had managed to negotiate with Sport England specific authorisation for all unrepresented disciplines (those without a Sport England NGB) the right to return to all phases of contact training alongside NGB supported disciplines. Those who taught during this period will recall the many difficulties understanding sometimes quite complex guidance, as well as the obvious headache of lining up multiple RtP documents for those practicing some styles with NGB representation, and others without.
Any changes and imposed rules will require the DCMS (Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport) to update the Combat Sports Framework and it is our hope that they will 'switch back on' the guidance already approved by Governing Bodies, given the months of work that went into this.
We feel that PLAN B is the most likely 'worst case' scenario we should be planning for and so we're asking all clubs to re-visit our Return to Play policy and do a brief bit of pre-action study. This should mean if it is re-introduced you're well ahead of the game in terms of any changes to lesson plans, content and class setup.

Plan C would be our worst case scenario in which all physical training is once again suspended. We were aggrieved by how long it took Government to reverse this during the first lockdown and subsequent lockdowns and whilst it does seem an unlikely outcome this time around (as it would mean the entire shutdown of society again) it's well worth having some action plans to hand, should it be sprung upon us after Christmas as was the case last year.
Make sure you have online capabilities, including access to some sort of conferencing software, an up to date website and some adapted lesson plans. If you need or wish to provide 'on demand' content it may be worth thinking about banking a few hours of footage during December, especially if you require a partner for your discipline.
In all honesty, with the effectiveness of vaccines, it seems highly unlikely we will have to move to Plan C but it would be foolish to bank on this so we're asking clubs to consider the impact to cashflow, to liaise closely with venues and to plan for a way in which you may be able to manage any 'firebreak' online classes (for a short period, such as a 3 week post-Xmas stint) online.
If you need any support, have questions or would like to ask us for any specific resources to help your club prepare for the differing outcomes in January please speak with us through your preferred channel.
We Will Stand By Your Club, Whatever Comes
Since COVID first emerged in February of 2020 we've stood toe to toe with our members, big and small. As an organisation we've doubled in size and we're one of the only martial arts associations to have a dedicated office with a full staff of employees on hand to help. Our COVID contingency toolkit, Covid aware qualifications and other COVID support measures were second to none.
Whatever comes in January 2022, BMABA will be in your corner to represent, guide and support your club, regardless of style or size. We make all of our COVID support completely free and open to every member, even those on our free year's 'affiliate' option.
If you think we might be able to support you, see what we did for our member's last time and feel free to join us for free online via our affiliate membership option.

I had the opportunity to write for a website I really enjoy called Cinema Shame. If you are a cinephile as I am, I think you'll love the podcasts there especially, delightful romps through films that are very popular but which the writer's had not seen before.
Here is mine, after watching Raging Bull for the first time.


The English Slave, the first novel in the Empires and Kingdoms historical fiction series, tells the true, yet little known, story of how young Captain John Smith (of Jamestown fame), was left for dead on the battlefield and sold into slavery at Axiopolis, an Ottoman border town on the lower Danube.
When the Ottoman Turks ruled Egypt and confronted the Holy Roman Empire in Europe, powerful kingdoms attempted to impose their wills. Filled with action and intrigue, romance and betrayal, battles and adventure, Empires and Kingdoms brings mosaic scenes to life around AD 1600, the turn of the 17th Century.
In the first novel in the historical fiction series, Grand Vizier Yemisci Hasan Pasha sends young Captain John Smith to his betrothed, Aisha, Sister of the Sultan, living at her vast palace on the Hippodrome in Stamboul.

Q: Image.onload event not firing I'm trying to load a temporary image tag. Once that tag is done loading the image, I will set the 'src' for the img#main to the 'src' of the "temporary" image element.  The thing is, the temporary image is successfully loading (it shows up on the screen), but the onload handler doesn't seem to fire. I never get my "Image is done loading" msg.  I don't see how the temporary image can show up on the page, but not trigger its onload handler (would this happen if the browser is using a cached version of the image? But, I'm pretty sure I cleared the cache, anyway.).  By the way, I've also tried code like B) below. But that didn't seem to work either.  Also, I'm using Aptana Studio and loading my pages into my local WAMP server.  I don't know if that makes any difference. Also, the urls that I'm assigning to the 'src' are document relative (like: "images/image_1.jpg").
I would appreciate any advice anyone might have.  Thanks very much.  Mike H.
A)
$('img#temp').load = function(){
  mch.say('Image is done loading');
}
$('img#temp').attr('src', url);
$('img#main').attr('src', url);

B)
var tempImage = new Image();
tempImage.src = url;
tempImage.onload = function(e){
mch.say("Image is done loading");
}

A: There are two errors in A & B.
A) $('img#temp').load should be $('#temp').on('load') (if you're using jquery)
B) You should assign the onload event before assining the src.

[Update] Nets Omit Alleged Harassment from Glenn Thrush, CBS Skips Franken's
[NewsBusters reached out to Attorney Paul Liggieri, the lawyer who filed the lawsuit against New York Governor Andrew Cuomo for comment on the lack of national coverage. His comments are below.]
Monday brought a deluge of new sexual harassment allegations implicating high profile men across the worlds of politics and journalism. Among the accused was CBS's Charlie Rose, which was adequately reported by the Big Three Networks (ABC, CBS, and NBC). But in stark contrast, they completely omitted the emerging allegations against New York Times White House Correspondent Glenn Thrush, and the second accuser of Democratic Senator Al Franken went grossly under reported.
Outrageously, Spanish-language network Telemundo had a complete blackout of the allegations leveled at Rose, not a single second of airtime dedicated to the story. Meanwhile, Univision brushed over it with a pathetic 22 seconds.
On Monday morning, the left-leaning news site Vox published accusations from several women (including the author) that allege "star reporter" Glenn Thrush would try to take advantage of younger female colleagues:
Three young women I interviewed, including the young woman who met Thrush in June, described to me a range of similar experiences, from unwanted groping and kissing to wet kisses out of nowhere to hazy sexual encounters that played out under the influence of alcohol. Each woman described feeling differently about these experiences: scared, violated, ashamed, weirded out.
Thrush was known for being a very vocal critic of the Trump White House and was a commentator for MSNBC. Both The Times had suspended Thrush pending an investigation (with MSNBC choosing to await the results of the investigation). His connection to MSNBC made the story's omission from NBC Nightly News even more concerning since they did report on the allegations against commentator Mark Halperin.
On the politics front, Lindsay Menz was the second woman to come forward and accuse Democratic Senator Al Franken (Monn.) of touching her inappropriately. And shockingly, CBS Evening News actually failed to report the new accusation altogether. Meanwhile, on ABC's World News Tonight and NBC Nightly News, they didn't seem to care enough to give the story much time.
ABC White House Correspondent Cecilia Vega briefly mentioned Franken's new accuser at the end of yet another report about Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore, after being prompted by Anchor David Muir. In all, they gave the new accusation against Franken only 43 seconds. On NBC, Anchor Lester Holt hid the new accusation at the end of a series of reports on the claims against Charlie Rose and Roy Moore. NBC only gave the Franken story a mere 23 seconds.
Both networks noted that Franken was a Democrat and sitting U.S. Senator when the latest alleged incident was said to have occurred.
Another harassment related story that had gone unreported by the big three networks was the allegation that New York Governor, and rumored Democratic presidential hopeful for 2020, Andrew Cuomo turned a blind to harassment complaints against an appointee.
"An upstate woman has stepped forward to reveal she is the sex-harass accuser who prompted the resignation last month of a high-ranking Gov. Cuomo appointee — and to accuse the governor of repeatedly ignoring his pal's 'horrific acts,'" wrote the New York Post on Saturday. According to Lisa Marie Cater, her repeated whistle blows went unanswered by the Governor's Office. The allegations came out when she filed a federal lawsuit against the state.
Clearly, the big three networks find certain harassment allegations more deserving of their time than others and they seem to follow a pattern. Charlie Rose was a such a noted journalist that it appeared to force their hand.
In a Tuesday phone call with Paul Liggieri, the attorney for Lisa Marie Cater, he told NewsBusters that while he applauded the expansive coverage his case against New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and appointee Sam Hoyt received by the local network news outlets, he was disappointed to learn of the lack of coverage in their national broadcasts:
While it is fair to say that number of local networks reached out to me, with a story that is as large as this one, which as the evidence shows implicates some of the most powerful men in the State of New York, one would expect that this story would also be given attention at the national level by the major networks. And in my opinion, irrespective of who the accused is, each of these women are telling a horrific story in which they had the bravery and courage to come forward.
And in the report by The New York Times, it appeared as though they did not reach out to Cater's counsel for comment or a statement. Instead, they spoke of Cuomo and Hoyt's accuser from the accused's perspective and touted how Cuomo had hired many women for his administration.
Transcripts below:
6:34:18 – 6:35:04 PM Eastern [46 seconds]
[Cuts back to live]
DAVID MUIR: So, let's get live to Cecilia Vega at the White House tonight. And Cecilia, President Trump tweeted about Senator Al Franken, and tonight, another woman is now accusing Senator Franken of inappropriate behavior?
CECILIA VEGA: David, 33-year-old Lindsay Menz, take a look at this photo. She tells CNN that Franken grabbed her backside when they were posing for this picture back in 2010. He was a sitting senator at the time. In a statement tonight, Franken says, quote, "I take thousands of photos at the state fair surrounded by hundreds of people. And I certainly don't remember taking this picture. I feel badly that Ms. Menz came away from our interaction feeling disrespected." Tonight, David, a spokesperson for Al Franken says he does not plan to resign in the wake of this second accusation.
MUIR: Cecilia Vega leading us off tonight. Cecilia, thank you.
LESTER HOLT: A second woman has now come forward to accuse Senator Al Franken of inappropriate touching. She says the Democrat grabbed her behind while they took a photo together at the Minnesota State Fair, this time while he was a sitting senator in 2010. Franken has not responded to the latest allegation. A number of his Senate colleagues have called for an ethics investigation which Franken has vowed to cooperate with.

Nintendo (NTDOY) Stock Down on Q1 Loss
Shares of Nintendo (NTDOY) are down on Wednesday morning following 2017 Q1 losses and on the delay of 'Pokemon GO Plus.'
Lindsay Rittenhouse
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Shares of Nintendo (NTDOY) are falling by 8.17% to $25.25 early Wednesday morning, as the Japan-based gaming developer reported weak fiscal 2017 first quarter operating losses and announced the delay of its launch of "Pokemon Go Plus," CNBC reports.
Nintendo reported an operating loss of $5.13 billion yen ($47.33 million) for the quarter ended June 30, compared to analysts' expectations of a loss of $4 billion yen.
The company also said "Pokemon Go Plus" will launch in September instead of at the end of this month, as originally planned, due to software adjustments, Reuters reports.
The company attributed losses to a strengthening yen and a sales decrease in gaming hardware and downloads, according to CNBC.
Nintendo owns stakes in The Pokemon Company, which owns the game's characters and in San Francisco-based development company Niantic, which created the augmented reality game.
On Friday, Nintendo stock slipped after the company revealed "Pokemon Go" would have limited impact on its earnings.


Divorce mediation is a legal option across Canada for drafting and filing a divorce agreement without paying for an expensive legal battle. You and your ex will sit down with a trained mediator to resolve all aspects of your divorce, from child custody to the division of property. While this process can work well for couples who still have good communication, it can be quite limiting. At Fairway Divorce Solutions, we offer a better solution. Our resolution experts draw from not only standard mediation techniques, but also a variety of negotiation tools. Here is what you should know.
Our proven, step by step divorce resolution process uses a team of experts from multiple fields including mediation, negotiation, and even finance. Our process helps even the most combative couples come to a fair and equitable divorce agreement. You might need several sessions to hammer out your agreement, but it will be faster, cheaper, and more flexible than the courts, and more likely to reach a fair agreement than through simple mediation.
Divorce resolution is incredibly valuable because it works. Our skilled divorce resolution experts recognize that you and your spouse are far more familiar with the details of your own lives and those of your kids than any judge could be. They will help you find the places where you agree and use those to build bridges between you that will help you navigate more passionate topics. No matter how acrimonious you and your ex are, it is worth giving divorce resolution a try.
We charge only for our resolution experts' time. You might choose to split the bill equally with your ex, or the spouse with a higher income may pay proportionally more. It is not a good idea for one spouse to foot the whole bill, as both parties need a financial incentive to settle as quickly as possible. If you were to battle things out in the court system, both parties would have to pay thousands of dollars in attorneys' fees. Learn what to expect with divorce mediation and why couples are choosing mediation to negotiate all issues.
Is Divorce Resolution Ever Inappropriate?
There is really no reason not to try divorce resolution since it is far less expensive than a court battle. Even if there has been domestic abuse, our professional resolution experts are skilled at ensuring that neither party is coerced into agreeing to unfair terms. Even if your relationship with your ex is extremely toxic, and you have trouble spending time in the same room, our step by step process can help you work toward common ground.
Some people are reluctant to try divorce resolution because they believe they have an open and shut court case. But keep in mind that family law is not black and white, and your spouse's lawyer's job is to brilliantly turn even simple issues into sticky ethical dilemmas. The only way to guarantee that you get what you want is to negotiate for it in our resolution process.
If divorce resolution does not work out, as is the case for a tiny fraction of divorcing couples, you can deal with going to court then, knowing that you did everything you could to avoid the process. Just remember that your bill can easily reach into the tens of thousands of dollars if you end up in court.
Fairway Divorce Solutions is Canada's leading national divorce resolution company. With its prestigious panel of resolution experts (mediators and negotiators), Fairway specializes in settling issues using negotiation, mediation, financial, and legal skills to assist with simple to complex family disputes. If you are ready to get started with a caring and skilled team, please call your local office today to schedule a no-cost consultation.


It is understandable a father who had earlier lost a son aged 5 years would then name his next son Henry, in memory of his first born Henry, who died 14 months earlier. This was common practice in England at this time. Sir William did not have any more sons.
Third, Henry (colonist) was recorded as the son of Sir William's brother Zouch Brockman. Zouch Brockman did have a son named Henry however, he was born 26 October 1647 but died in England on 21 January 1663 and was buried in the centre isle of St Martin's Church, Cheriton. At the time of his death, he was aged 17 years so he also never immigrated anywhere. Paul Brockman from Charlottesville Virginia, who is an avid Greenway Brockman researcher states "Zouch's son Henry cannot be the ancestor of the American Brockmans. The line from the Henry who purchased Beachborough from George Fogge of Braeburne is ancient history to many of us, and well settled."
Finally, Henry (colonist) was supposed to be the son of William Brockman of Newington who was a 2nd cousin to Sir William Brockman of Beachborough and his brother Zouch Brockman. The claim was the line goes Henry (Harry), John, William, William, Henry (colonist), Samuell, and Samuell's eight children. This is also incorrect.
Henry, the son of William Brockman of Newington was born at Newington, Kent on 1 November 1630 and baptized at St Nicholas Church, Newington on 1 January 1630. This baptism is confirmed by a record of birth recorded by a Rev. Henry Bilton on 21 July 1729 when he copied the St. Nicholas, Newington register. We know from his court appearance in Maryland that Henry (colonist) was born in 1647. Hence, Henry the son of William Brockman of Newington was born approximately 17 years before Henry (colonist). In addition, Henry the son of William died in 1657 at Kent and was buried on 16 October 1657 at St. Nicholas Church, Newington so he certainly did not go to Barbados nor did he die on a ship returning to England.
Consequently, none of the assertions made in WEB's books were true but unfortunately many American family tree websites still show a connection back to either Sir William Brockman, his brother Zouch Brockman or William of Newington which is frustrating and almost impossible to correct now.
Finally, there are no other known Henry Brockman's in the English Whitfield and Beachborough lines whose birth date relates to the date of birth for Henry (colonist). New research undertaken by professional researchers at Canterbury Archives in England along with David Dixon and Patrick Brockman who are both descendants of the Whitfield Line found a Henry Brockman born in 1645 so this caused some excitement as it was thought this Henry might be the missing American link but a DNA comparison proved not compatible. The DNA test between three individuals including a Beachborough, Whitfield and a Greenway Brockman found the Greenway Brockman was not linked to the other two Kent Brockmans and based on their proposed ancestral line, they should have been if the legend was true.
Subsequently at this time, there is no known genealogical link between the American Greenway Brockman line and the English Beachborough or Whitfield Brockman lines from Kent in spite of what you may find on other Brockman related internet pages.
An important point needs to be made in relation to all the above. The researchers responsible for this site have copies of Wills and Probate records from the period 1500-1800s and beyond along with comprehensive BDM records. In addition, Giles Drake-Brockman who is another of our researchers, reviewed the 'Brockman Papers' stored in the United Kingdom's National Archives with the assistance of archival staff. Their focus was all the documents concerning Sir William and his brother Zouch Brockman. None of these Wills or the Brockman Papers made reference to or identified any possible connection to Henry (colonist) or anyone else living in Barbados or Maryland. Additionally, there are extensive baptism, burial and marriage records in England for this period and much earlier so the lack of available records is not the issue. The issue is simply, no evidence of a connection can be found either via these records or the DNA analysis.
Some American Brockman's are unhappy with this finding and claim they have cufflinks and signet rings that have the Brockman crest engraved on them and these have been passed down to descendants. To fully understand how these items originated is pure speculation but perhaps a reasonable explanation might be that they were purchased when American Brockman's visited England or following the publication of the various books written by the American William Everett Brockman. Who knows but unfortunately having such items in ones possession cannot be considered adequate proof of a genealogical connection between the American descendants of Henry (colonist) and the Kent Brockmans. If a connection cannot be substantiated through established records, then we cannot just assume this.
Footnote: Please don't shoot the messenger.
It is a reasonable assumption that the surname Brockman in America must somehow be related to a Brockman family in England. Unfortunately at this time, there is no evidence to support the legend that American Brockmans are related to the Whitfield and Beachborough Brockman family lines of Kent. Over the past 20 years, Brockman and Drake-Brockman researchers located in America, England and Australia have been trying to prove a connection. Due to the large number of inquires received on a constant basis, the following information seeks to address why this legend is factually incorrect and nothing more.
This myth began many years ago when an American named William Everett Brockman (WEB) compiled a Brockman family tree and mentioned this tree in a number of genealogy books including the History of the Hume, Kennedy and Brockman Families (1916); Early American History (1926); Virginia Wills and Abstracts (1948); The Brockman Scrapbook (1952); and Orange County, VA, Families, Vol IV (1964). These publications featured a number of other American families but they also included a section dedicated to the Brockman family. Unfortunately, WEB had numerous errors in his work including the assumption about the connection between the American and Kent Brockmans. Following the publication of WEB's work, Americans must have started visiting Beachborough Park and churches in Kent doing their own family research and wrote letters making claims that were not true. Examples include letters sent in 1905 by Fletcher Simms Brockman back to his family in America. One was sent to his brother Mr Whitfield Brockman and the other two were sent to a Mrs J. W. Simpson. (Click here to read extracts from Fletcher Brockman's letters) It is obvious that even in 1905, both the American and English families were keen to be connected, however, the opinions reflected in this correspondence are just assumptions.
The following is an attempt to demonstrate why the statements in Fletcher Brockman's letters and the data in WEB's books are incorrect. For example, in order to get a sense of how many errors there were in WEB's publications, please click here and move your mouse over the sticky notes or click on them to read the inserted comments. (If you are using an Apple device open these as a PDF). Given these errors, it is understandable why so many American family trees have got it so wrong over the years. For the record, this site is not opposed to finding an American connection but now we know the facts, it is incumbent upon all serious genealogists to deal with valid and reliable data and not rely on family legend as a substitute.
The first known American Brockman is thought to have been a Henry Brockman, commonly referred to as Henry (the immigrant) or Henry (colonist). Henry is believed to have come from England but there is nothing to prove or support this or that he was even English. What is known is he left Barbados, indenturing himself to Captain John Jourdaine for transport to Maryland. He apparently arrived in Maryland in 1667 on a ship called the Samuell & Mary a fact which is documented in the official records in the State of Maryland. Henry later married Rebecca Samuell, the daughter of the owners of the ship Samuell & Mary. Henry Brockman is known to have been in court in Maryland in 1667 trying to verify his claim to an inheritance and at this time, he maintained he was 20 years of age, which means he was born in 1647. Neither his parents nor his place of birth were captured in the court records. The American family legend has him being descended from an English royalist family (i.e. loyal to the King against Cromwell) and because of this, he had to flee or was sent to Barbados. None of this can be substantiated even though there are shipping and passenger records held in the English archives for this period including lists of those prisoners exported to Barbados. Consequently, at this time we don't know if Henry was English, why he came to Barbados and the circumstances of how he got there.
It is important to note that Sir William Brockman and his younger brother Zouch Brockman were the most aggressive protagonists against Cromwell and both even raised an army and fought against Cromwell at Maidstone in 1648 following an earlier uprising in 1642. In spite of their dire predicament, neither brother had to "flee" England like Henry (colonist) supposedly had to. The American legend has Henry dying while sailing back to England trying to collect on this inheritance although there are no records which can substantiate this either. Unfortunately, no other details are known except Henry (colonist) settled in Orange County, Virginia and it is known his son Samuell built a house in 1734 which can still be seen today on a farm called Greenway. Hence, this Brockman line in America is known as the Greenway Line.
Over the years, the American legend has had Henry (colonist) being the child of a number of different people and this has changed on about four different occasions. First he was supposedly the son of Henry (Harry) of Beachborough which would have made him the brother of Sir William Brockman. Second, he was recorded as the son of Sir William Brockman.
The facts are Sir William Brockman had two sons called Henry. The first was born 10 January 1617 and died 13 September 1622 (tablet in St Nicholas Church, Newington). He was 5 years and 8 months when he died. The second of Sir William's sons called Henry was born 8 November 1623 and died 3 June 1631 (tablet in St Nicholas Church, Newington). He was aged 7 years and 7 months when he died. Subsequently, neither of these children immigrated anywhere.

Kleopatra VII, the last ruler of the mighty Ptolemaic Empire, is one of the most instantly recognisable figures from antiquity. Her deeds or legends, legacy and identity are debated around the world. The image that predominates is of a beautiful, extravagant seductress, often clad—if clothed—in very little at all, and played by Elizabeth Taylor (or Vivien Leigh).
But what did ancient historians and archaeologists know about the "real" Kleopatra? Building on surviving literature, everyday texts preserved on papyrus, sculpture, coinage, and more, we will view Kleopatra as ruler of a vast, still-powerful monarchy and associated bureaucracy, as a powerful woman in a time of nearly unbridled patriarchy, as a survivor in a real-life "game of thrones," and as a target of vicious Roman propaganda blaming her for the outbreak of war between Augustus and Marc Antony. How was she remembered by a Roman culture that hated and was captivated by her, and by later works - mediaeval Islamic scholars, Renaissance painters, and modern filmmakers? In short: once we strip away the layers of confusion, misogyny, and legend, who really was Kleopatra?
Andrew Connor is the Lecturer in Ancient History in the Centre for Ancient Cultures at Monash University. His work focuses on the temples of Roman Egypt - their economic infrastructure, relationship with the Roman state, and eventual collapse in the 3rd century CE. He completed his PhD in Ancient History in the Department of Classics at the University of Cincinnati, and taught at the Cincinnati and Xavier University before heading to Australia. He currently teaches Roman, Classical Greek, and Hellenistic history and archaeology, along with Greek and Latin language, at the 1st year through Honours levels. He publishes editions of documentary texts preserved on papyri on topics from the Ptolemaic, Roman, and Byzantine periods in Egypt. He lives in Elwood, and in his free time is a member of the Port Melbourne Football Club.
The meeting opens at 6.30pm to allow you to place your food order and be seated for Andrew to commence at 7pm. The Hotel offers a fixed price menu of $20 but you may order from the regular menu. Pink bowls are on each table for donations. Donations are optional but all received are distributed back into the local community.

So much of moment is happening in America's politics that we must try to make sense of it, and we must do so by understanding the peculiar nature of the Presidency, the Congress, and the parties.
First – a President has enormous power, and it is hard to put his neck in a noose, but it is not impossible; Trump is under enormous and increasing pressure, with several investigations probing his relations with Russia and his American financial dealings, and threatening both ordinary legal action and the extraordinary process of "impeachment".
Second – the Democrats' electoral victory in the House of Representatives last November not only strengthened investigation of Trump, but now can be seen as epochal: a rare, deep change in demography and ideology.
Third – this change is reflected in the remarkable variety of Democrats who already are competing for the party's choice of a presidential candidate to confront Trump in the 2020 election.
Overall, Trump's contempt for fundamental norms of democracy has stirred people to defend those norms more vehemently than has been true for decades. This is a striking example of the ironies of political history.
Ray Nichols was a Wilson and Danforth Scholar at Princeton, and a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford. He taught at the University of California before moving to Monash University, where he was Professor and Head of the Department of Politics.

The meeting opens at 6.30pm to allow you to place your food order and be seated for Ray to commence at 7pm. The Hotel offers a fixed price menu of $20 but you may order from the regular menu. Pink bowls are on each table for donations. Donations are optional but all received are distributed back into the local community.
A free public event run by Museums Victoria (Melbourne Museum) in partnership with Parks Victoria.
The Otways' moth fauna is truly diverse, with over 1000 species recorded from the region. From the first thorough survey, conducted by George Lyell in 1907 and 1908, to recent surveys carried out as part of Museum Victoria's 2018/19 Otways Bioscan, the beauty and variety of this group of Lepidoptera never ceases to amaze.
As part of the Bioscan partnership between Museums Victoria (Melbourne Museum) and Parks Victoria, we would like to invite you to attend a very special night-time event: Moth Magic.
Come and visit the moth-sheet and see first-hand some of the spectacular and bizarre moths that live in the Great Otway National Park.
Gain insight into how surveys are conducted and hear about our teams' moth-spotting travels and their work at the museum.
Find out how the work of our dedicated volunteers has led to exciting new discoveries and scientific developments.
Please join us for a night of moth-spotting at Sheoak Picnic Area, Garvey Road, Great Otway National Park.
When: Saturday March 23rd, 2018; any time between 6.30 pm and 10.30 pm.
What to bring: A torch, camera, comfortable shoes, warm clothes, a hat or cap and sunscreen.
Please note: In order to attract moths to the sheet, we use a mercury-vapour light. While this light is safe and has built-in UV filters, some UV is still emitted and thus we recommend that participants wear a hat or cap and sunscreen, in order to protect their eyes and face from the bright light.
Our first music event for 2019 is a great opportunity to get together with friends.
You can book a table of 10 (max) or come on your own and join others.

Although fungi underpin the resilience of terrestrial ecosystems, they have been overlooked in Australian biodiversity conservation. With the guidance of ecologist, Alison Pouliot, local Otways communities have been exploring and documenting fungi for over a decade and as a result, fungi are now included in local conservation.
In 'The Allure of Fungi', Alison explores the possibility for fungi to be recognised as vital to functioning ecosystems and offers the opportunity to think differently not just about fungi, but the natural world more broadly. This illustrated and interactive seminar explores the significance of fungi through a range of voices from naturalists to philosophers and members of the local community.
The meeting opens at 6.30pm to allow you to place your food order and be seated for Alison to commence at 7pm. The Hotel offers a fixed price menu of $20 but you may order from the regular menu. Pink bowls are on each table for donations. Donations are optional but all received are distributed back into the local community.
This is my favorite time of year for photography. It's so much Fun-guys (sorry!) but Fungi are amazing to photograph. For me in the abstract, even though I know so little about them. That's why I put my hand up to help SOLN (SouthernOtway Landcare) host Allison Pouliot's Fungi Photography workshop on Easter Monday, 22 April. I'd rather find an amazing Fungi than a hidden Easter egg, even a really big one.
Fungi make for truly amazing photographs. We will be out in the field with Alison in the second half of the day. So please come along and join the Fun(-gi).
Image (left) by David Simmonds was shot on his iPhone and edited slightly in Adobe Lr Classic CC.
Book now (see poster image) or message me (David Simmonds) for more info. or to register.
See Alison's amazing images here.
To hear Alison talk, she knows so much - listen here.
Any questions please call David on 0418 328 710.
Meet at 23 Ferrier Dve, Marengo.
Tea, coffee, bickies supplied. BYO lunch and gumboots.
Please contact Judi on (03) 5237 6318 or Pip on 0417 582 407 for further details and so we know how many people to expect.
Voting will take place for the 2019-2020 Committee. Nomiations are invited.
Formerly known as the Great Ocean Road Marathon, the event has grown to allow runners of all ages and fitness levels to participate in events ranging from the 1.5km Kid's Gallop all the way up to the 60km Ultra Marathon.

The Epic of Gilgamesh is a story about the futility of seeking immortality. It's a journey of self-discovery in which Gilgamesh learns the ultimate truth - every human dies. It follows Gilgamesh, king of the ancient city of Uruk in southern Mesopotamia. As a youth, Gilgamesh was a capricious and domineering king. He deflowered the maidens, bullied the children and elderly, and forced labor on the men. His people prayed to the gods that they would send respite. So the gods formed the magnificent wild-man Enkidu out of clay. Enkidu fought in mighty hand-to-hand combat with Gilgamesh. When they found themselves nearly equal in strength, they embraced and became dear friends.
So that time of year has come - the one in which the days become more dark - along with my thoughts. Every year about this time, I get bipolar depression. Or perhaps I should call it seasonal affective disorder. Regardless of the name, it's very real. I become lethargic, I cry for no reason, and suicidal thoughts traipse through my brain.
But that can't happen to me this year because I've got a full time job to hold down at the same time as taking Abnormal Psychology and an EMT training class. So what do I do? Preemptive strike!
In anticipation of Riverview Theater's yearly showing of the movie Serenity (proceeds benefit Equality Now), my boyfriend and I watched the TV series Firefly. If you haven't watched this show, you need to.
In this story, created by Joss Whedon, humans have moved from an overpopulated Earth to a galaxy with many planets. A totalitarian government called the Alliance rules.
Unions - are they still beneficial?
So my employees are in a labor union. They've let me know that they don't like being in a union because they have to pay union dues to have rules they don't like applied to them. But it seems their opinions depend a lot on WHAT rules are being enforced.
Well, here it goes. I'm going to reinvent myself. In case you wonder who I was before, here's my old blog. Let me tell you a little about myself....Oh. See? Writer's block already. That's why I'm reinventing myself. Because I know who I was, and I know where I want to go. But right now I'm in a transitory state.
