This site will be used to publish a history of the Allcard family (John Allcard 1779-1856), his son Edward Allcard (1822 -1900), and their children, together with a description of Wimblehurst House, Horsham.
Edward Allcard lived in Wimblehurst House from 1883 to 1900. The house had been build in 1856 for John Braby, and was owned from 1871 to 1883 by Henry Padwick Jnr. After the death of Edward his daughters lived in the house. From the death of Ethel Allcard in 1952 the house was unoccupied. Despite many attempts by the family to redevelop the house it was demolished in 1963.
The land on which the house itself was built is now Allcard Close. Some of the land owned by the family was sold off for housing development. However Novartis acquired a substantial proportion of the grounds of the house for a staff sports field but with the closure of the research site in 2015 this land was sold off for the Oaklands housing development. All that remains is a very large oak tree which can be seen from the road into the development, now named as Braby Drive.

Even More of the Best Covers of Gotye's "Somebody That I Used to Know"
Posted by Peter Ferioli at 5:00 pm	Add comments
Earlier this year we featured five of the best covers, so far, of Gotye's "Somebody That I Used to Know". Of course the first video that went uber-viral and helped ignite interest in this year-old song was the five-on-one guitar cover by Walk Off the Earth. Since then hundreds of covers, parodies and remixes of this hit have flooded the YouTubes. You are in luck, as I have spent far too much time listening to the already overexposed song to pull out a few covers that either rival or surpass the original. In no particular order, here are ten more versions for your enjoyment.
1) Karmin– a Cover Me regular from YouTube that has gone on to appear on Saturday Night Live. Watch Amy and Nick do their pop thing on SiriusXM Hits.
2) Kelly Clarkson – The original American Idol performs live at Jones Beach, NY on August 21, 2012.
3) Netherlands Radio Choir – The 74 person ensemble does the song to raise funds to help save the choir.
4) fun. featuring Hayley Williams – fun, performs live on BBC 1 Radio's Live Lounge alongside a recording of the Paramore singer.
5) Rita Ora – The UK singer, songwriter and actress drops an R&B take on Radio 1's Live Lounge
6) Cast of Glee – "They did such a faithful arrangement of the instruments but the vocals were that pop 'Glee' style, ultra dry, sounded pretty tuned and the rock has no real sense, like it's playing to you from a cardboard box," Gotye told the Sunday Mail of Darren Criss and Matt Bomer's rendition of his song.
7) Noah featuring Christina Grimmie – The incredibly talented, deep voiced Noah Guthrie keeps the YouTube cover hits coming.
8) Old School Computer Remix – With an HP Scanjet 3C as the vocals. An Amiga 600 as Bass on left audio output and Guitar on right audio output. Harddrives as the drums and cymbal and a PIC16F84A microcontroller, this digital ditty is pretty amazing.
9) "The Star Wars That I Used To Know" – A Parody with new music and original lyrics. It's a story of heartbreak to which Star Wars fans everywhere can relate. A shot at the movie remakes, new CGi effects and George Lucas. Easily the best video.
10) Two Kids in a Car – I know this isn't a cover, but these two six year old friends who love this song are serious stars in the making. How can you not love this?
Check out more from Gotye on his website.

Purchased the phone but very much unhappy with the performance of the phone. Within first week of use, I observed phone is over heating. So requested for return (within the time period). No body came for pick up. Compromising the heating issue, I started using the phone. Now after use of one month, phone is not switching on and also not getting charged.
A:Lenovo ZUK Z1 is a good mobile.
Q:is this phone inbuild battery?
Q:This Phone accpet Memory Card?
Q:and how long last battery life for heavy users?


friendship that is more rewarding in the longer run.
Older Macs are also slower on net etc., so will need lightweight browsers.
That's only true if you've got a newer older mac. If it's circa 2006/2007, it MAY have a power pc chip in it. And if it's pre-2006, it IS power pc. Which most of the mainline distros don't support power pc chips.
But it is not free it appears.
one internet forum discussion I assumed that linux will work like a charm on even older Mac's.
nice to try Yellow Dog Linux if possible. However, for the most part I am not a Mac user.
too many people on the street, so the sky was also good to watch.
It is good to hear that some of you like ncurses.
In my opinion, you can achieve the same aas with x11. There is too fb that you can use. you can use as well mplayer.
There's a sort of movement to go off the grid in the U.S.A., these days with "unreliable" power and rising energy costs. For those of us not already off the grid.
At the end of the day, computers and networks don't make crops grow. And other in real life stuff that actually matters. And in many parts of this country, trash is still burned, not picked up.
This P3 tower makes loud sounds in the early morn. when I boot it.
Will use it as long as it lasts.
growth for our benefit. A spade or a tractor used in farming is also technology.
IT helps a lot in medicine also these days.
just a few hours a day. After this, folks will discuss the news. No TV.
used a hand fan mostly to cool themselves when it was real hot in summer.
All this was ok and normal, I didn't reall miss electricity much then.
share this here as it gives a glimpse at how life was without TV even.
bring the countryside to the City. It is just amazing and I love it.
life that is even more bright, amazing, deep, gives great joy and satisfaction.
very happy with this decision they took.
the owner decided to keep this PC for her kids.
So, am glad that these PCs will be used again.
he mostly survived with just rice and hot sauce., that too small servings.
Sometimes, there was nothing to eat and he just went hungry.
Even professionals were dumpster diving there then.
I was really touched to hear all this. No wonder he appreciates older PCs.
He seemed pretty comfortable and knowledgable with linux.
opposed to being a burden as long as there is power.
them well will give great benefits.
old PC, IT stuff is good for this.
Even Govts. can do little to prevent such stuff.
for this is the ultimate in prep.
Again, thanks to Linux and Old PC, this is link is brought here.
Prepp companies scare folks and then offer different products.
products out there, how many are actually being used ?
being lost for a few moments.
once Linux is running and this will greatly help with a good browsing speed\experience.
1. Save vital info. to a flash drive.
4. If this doesn't help, then give PC away and tell the reason to the new owner.
5. If new owner also has same issues, then recycle it.
128Gb Ram. So the hardware keeps growing. It is good to see what they are pushing.
The move for DRM and more movies etc., never ends. I rarely watch movies.
There are so many eBooks on Gutenberg that can be used for prepping.
Just for growing vegetables etc., there are lots of eBooks.
has to choose the most practical and vital aspects.
written by people with lots of practical experience in those days.
then in one generation max. it will end.

Q: Remove background color of button pressed and replace with image in Windows Phone 8.1 I got a Windows Phone 8.1 RT app.
I  have a button with image like so:
<Button BorderThickness="0" Name="btn1" Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="0" Width="75" Height="75" HorizontalAlignment="Center" FontFamily="Global User Interface" >
    <Button.Background >
        <ImageBrush ImageSource="ms-appx:///Images/1.png" Stretch="Uniform"/>
    </Button.Background>
</Button>

When this button is pressed a horrible blue background color manifests itself.
I would like to remove this colour completely (and any other color) and change the pressed image of this button.
All the samples I have seen refers to SilverLight. Does anyone know how or where I can look to change this for RT apps?

A: This 'horrible' blue background comes with default button style. If you take a look at it:

                            </VisualState>
                        </VisualStateGroup>
                    </VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>
                    <Border x:Name="Border" BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}" BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding BorderThickness}" Background="{TemplateBinding Background}" Margin="{ThemeResource PhoneTouchTargetOverhang}">
                        <ContentPresenter x:Name="ContentPresenter" AutomationProperties.AccessibilityView="Raw" ContentTemplate="{TemplateBinding ContentTemplate}" Content="{TemplateBinding Content}" Foreground="{TemplateBinding Foreground}" HorizontalAlignment="{TemplateBinding HorizontalContentAlignment}" Margin="{TemplateBinding Padding}" VerticalAlignment="{TemplateBinding VerticalContentAlignment}"/>

                </Grid>
            </ControlTemplate>
        </Setter.Value>
    </Setter>
</Style>

you will find those lines, which produce this unwanted effect:
<VisualState x:Name="Pressed">
    <Storyboard>
        <PointerDownThemeAnimation Storyboard.TargetName="Grid"/> <!-- leave this -->
        <ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetProperty="Foreground" Storyboard.TargetName="ContentPresenter">
            <DiscreteObjectKeyFrame KeyTime="0" Value="{ThemeResource ButtonPressedForegroundThemeBrush}"/>
        </ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
        <ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetProperty="Background" Storyboard.TargetName="Border">
            <DiscreteObjectKeyFrame KeyTime="0" Value="{ThemeResource ButtonPressedBackgroundThemeBrush}"/>
        </ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
    </Storyboard>
</VisualState>

disable them (apart PointerDownThemeAnimation, which produces nice animation when button is pressed) and the VisualStateMenager won't change the background anymore.

Study Conclusions Biased by Drug Company Funding
Dr. John Briffa, Special to The Epoch Times
PureInsight | December 25, 2007
Previously I have highlighted the way that the pharmaceutical industry appears to use its financial muscle to ensure its products end up in a favorable market position.
Earlier this month, the British Medical Journal (BMJ) published another study on this theme. The particular focus of this review was "meta-analysis" studies, which lump together a number of similar pieces of research in an effort to get an overall view of a treatment's effectiveness.
The researchers who undertook this review looked at a total of 124 meta-analyses concerning drug treatment for high blood pressure (hypertension). They then compared the results of those meta-analyses that had a financial link with one pharmaceutical company with those that did not have such a link (and were, presumably, independently funded).
They looked at the relationship between funding and the results of the meta-analyses.
They found that on the face of it at least, having a link with a drug company did not mean that a meta-analysis was more likely to report favorable results. That's nice to know, but the researchers went further by then assessing the relationship between funding and the conclusions (the spin put on the study) drawn by the authors of the meta-analysis.
This is where things got more interesting: The meta-analyses that had drug company funding were four to five times more likely to draw positive conclusions from the findings than those that had been independently funded (same results, remember).
What this demonstrates is just how subjective supposedly 'objective'? researchers can be and just how corruptible these opinions are when vested interest is at play.
Another issue highlighted by this review is the process of 'peer review'? by which academics vet studies for suitable methodology and appropriateness for publication.
Basically, one job of reviewers is to detect and screen out studies that show discordance between the results they show and the conclusions drawn by the authors of the study. However, it seems that some reviewers are failing with regard to this.
The authors of the BMJ review write: "Both editors and peer reviewers must have read manuscript versions of those meta-analyses containing discordant results and conclusions, yet they did not prevent publication of biased conclusions.
"Editors and peer reviewers, as well as policymakers, meta-analysts, and readers should closely scrutinize the conclusions of meta-analyses to ensure that they are supported by the data."

Home / Find Help / PCIP Success Stories / Western States Pension Assistance Project wins survivor's benefit for widow
When Vicki Lloyd's family learned that her husband had a terminal illness, they wanted to make sure that Vicki was taken care of after he died. So they contacted her husband's pension plan to ensure that Vicki would receive the 75 percent joint-and-survivor annuity that her husband had chosen. Vicki and her family were stunned to learn that, according to her husband's pension plan, Vicki was not eligible to receive her husband's pension because he had not begun receiving it prior to his death.
Unsure of her rights, Vicki's son conducted an online search and found the Western States Pension Assistance Project. After learning of Vicki's case, Western States Pension Assistance Project attorney Justin Freeborn sent a letter informing the pension plan that failing to honor Vicki's husband's benefit election was a violation of the Internal Revenue Code, which requires pension plans to honor participant benefit elections.
Less than a month later, and after her husband had died, Vicki was contacted by the pension plan and was informed that that it would honor her husband's benefit election. As a result of the work of the Western States Pension Assistance Project, Vicki will now receive a monthly survivor's benefit of $200 for the rest of her life.

Butch Lewis Act on path to House floor vote as bill approved by Ways and Means Committee
Retirees, workers, spouses and widows who have been fighting intensely for many years to protect their hard-earned multiemployer plan pensions have reason to celebrate. The bill that they've been backing to fix a looming pension crisis was voted out of the House Ways and Means Committee yesterday and is on a path to the full House for a floor vote.
In 2017, workers will be able to contribute up to $18,000 to their 401(k) plans. Workers age 50 and older can contribute $24,000. Employers can match those contributions up to a total employer-employee limit of $52,000. Check out our helpful fact sheet to learn the contribution limits for other retirement plans. Read the fact sheet.


I've already written about my choice of essential apps on the Mac and so, in the spirit of cross platform-ness, I thought I'd do the same for Windows. It's proved a bit of an education. With one exception; the list of apps seems to fall into two distinct categories.
Firstly, there's those apps which are available on both Mac and Windows, so there's no surprise that both Firefox and iTunes make an appearance.
Secondly though, the remaining apps seem to be provide features which I'm used to on the Mac or on UNIX in general but which are missing from a stock Windows install.
It's probably due to my too many years of UNIX experience that I seem to automatically install apps which make Windows more UNIX like or maybe it's making Windows less Windows like?
Imagine UNIX on your Windows machine. You've just imagined Cygwin. There's a Bash shell of course, with all your favourite shell tools; less, sed, awk, grep and all the rest. But there's also a full POSIX subsystem to link your apps against and there's more. There's a full X Window system; you can even run KDE under Cygwin under Windows and there's more. There's all of your Windows drives, both physical and network, mounted under /cygdrive and there's more. There's full UNC path support and there's more. You can even have all of your domain or Active Directory permissions in your Bash shell. What's there not to like?
After just extolling the virtues of Cygwin, there's one thing I don't like and that's the terminal emulation offered via Telnet and SSH. So in the spirit of choice I don't use Cygwin's I use PuTTY and it works just fine. That's all.
The only app in this list which isn't freely available, Araxis Merge costs money, not a massive amount of money, but money nonetheless. But for someone like myself who spends a lot of time doing file comparisons and merging, mainly as part of a revision control process, a good compare and merge app is like gold dust and Araxis is the best I've yet to come across. Shame it's Windows only but you can't have everything I guess and there's always mapped drives via Samba which allows you to use this app on Linux and the like.
For the same reasons I wrote about earlier I still like iTunes but what I especially like is that iTunes enables me to easily share the contents of my music libraries all over the house. As I write this on my iBook I can see iTunes running and showing the contents of a music library on a Windows XP desktop machine upstairs and another on my Windows XP laptop. It all fits in nice and neatly with the Mac ethic of it just works.
Admittedly Apple's attempt to duplicate the Aqua user interface under XP's Luna user interface doesn't always work quite as the designers probably intended but full marks for trying anyway.
One of the complaints I hear about Firefox is that it doesn't integrate natively with the operating system; this is a whinge I hear often from fellow Mac users. But personally I don't really see what the problem is. I make the Firefox installation on my iBook the master one for my browsing needs and use .Mac to backup my browser preferences including my bookmarks. Then I can use the iDisk Utility for Windows, which available to .Mac subscribers, to sync my preferences onto my Windows machines and, admittedly with a bit of effort, onto my other machines.
The end result is that I have a constent browsing experience across all platforms and that's got to be a good thing.
I write code for a living and one of the products of that code writing is frequently a CD image, oft referred to as an ISO, due to that being a common file extension for CD images. Before taking the time to burn the aforementioned ISO to CD I like to check that it's valid and contains exactly what I want it to contain.
On a Mac I just double-click on a CD image in the Finder or use Disk Utility to open and mount it. On Linux and other UNIX machines that support the iso9660 file system I can mount the CD image like a hard disk or CD drive. On Windows I can … ah. Windows doesn't recognise this file format unless I buy some rather expensive software to do this.
Unless I've installed Daemon Tools in which case it's rather easy.
