A long car ride allowed me to make a few stars from scraps. Forgive me, I have given the link before to the pattern but can't find it. I got it from Twiggy and Opal who got it from the designer's site.
laughing pigs, they're pink. And eating pizza and hot dogs (hopefully all beef) A plaid scrap for center hexie has pink stripes.
in progress. All are from scraps, all 'white" star points are from different fabrics.
speaking of pink (for Rainbow Scrap challenge this month was to use pink scraps) Look at the cool bathroom I saw in an antique store. The store was in a victorian home built around 1890's but this bath was added/updated in the 50's betcha!
Everything was pink. Pink tiles, sink, toilet, tub hamper, flamingo tiles, toilet paper, curtains. OMG I wanted to move in.
it was a very quilterly design on the bathroom floor tiles.
The laughing pigs made me laugh too. How fun that the block lets those pigs shine. And I'm with you on feeling a bit disturbed to find things from my childhood in antique stores.
Lovely stars; I like the variety of scraps you've used there.
That pink bathroom looks just like the one in my grandma's house! Love your stars, too.
That bathroom looks perfect for you - quilterly floor and flamingo tiles, what more could you ask for? I'm an antique too, though still not sure how that happened.
Circa 1956. Tiles, toilet, and floor remind me of the bathroom in our first house... Exactly. BTW... LOVE that PINK pig block!!
Love the pink bathroom and the pig fabric... so fun!

Pro-lifers aren't trying to ban abortion because it's 'gross'
By Cassy Fiano-Chesser | June 3, 2016 , 02:24pm
Abortion advocates will do whatever they can to undermine the pro-life movement. From claiming that pro-lifers are anti-woman to framing abortion as "health care," it seems there's no tactic they won't try.
Vox is trying one that's fairly surprising. They're trying to convince people that pro-lifers are trying to ban abortion by "grossing people out".
Pro-life advocates are trying to ban abortion by grossing people out about it https://t.co/HhnvBd5LgZ
— Vox (@voxdotcom) June 1, 2016
The article, written by Emily Crockett, complains that pro-lifers won't stop talking about the unpleasant details of abortion.
D&E bans are quickly becoming the latest trend in anti-abortion lawmaking at the state level. They have colorful names like the "Unborn Child Protection from Dismemberment Abortion Act." And some advocates and lawmakers are using them to focus on the lurid details of later abortion procedures, in hopes of turning more Americans against abortion and making the procedure easier to outlaw or restrict.
Crockett even defended partial-birth abortions, something that only the most extreme of abortion advocates would dare to do, claiming that "the focus on the unpleasant details of the procedure helped to sway the public against it – and even to sway more people against abortion in general for a time."
She then goes on to complain about how D&E abortions are also called "dismemberment" abortions:
It would be no surprise, then, if abortion opponents wanted to build on that success and use it to try to ban abortion much more broadly. And so it comes as no surprise that anti-abortion advocates have rebranded the regular D&E procedure as a "dismemberment abortion," which is also not a medical term.
Abortionists may not refer to D&E procedures as dismemberment abortions, that's true. But it isn't a lie to say that preborn babies are being dismembered during these abortions, because that is what happens.
Former abortionist Dr. Anthony Levatino explains the procedure: The abortionist puts laminaria into the woman's cervix to aid in dilation. 24-48 hours later, when she returns to the abortion facility, he opens the cervix more using metal dilators and a speculum. He then drains the uterus of amniotic fluid and gets to work on the preborn baby.
Using a sopher clamp, the abortionist grasps the baby's limbs and tears them from the baby's body, one by one. He then will move on to the baby's body parts – the baby's intestines, spine, lungs, heart – and finally, the head.
These details aren't pointed out because they're "gross." People should, at the very least, know the realities of abortion and what it entails – even if it's gross. Women should have the right to basic knowledge of the procedures they consider.
It is true that most people are horrified by the details of D&E dismemberment abortions, yes (because, after all, it's pretty horrifying to find out abortion includes ripping the arms and legs off a living human being). But that doesn't mean the answer is to hush up people giving the details. (To clear up common misconceptions about D&E abortions, go here.)
Abortion activists naturally want to keep this part of the debate quiet. They don't want people to hear the gruesome details because, as Crockett complains, and as the video below shows, it makes people less likely to support abortion.
Pro-lifers should not be quieted because the details of abortion are "gross." Plenty of things are "gross" – rape, murder, molestation – but we don't oppose them because we think they're yucky. We oppose them because they're wrong. Violence against other people is wrong. No one is shy about giving people the details about things like the cold and flu, or worse, the Zika virus or Ebola, even though the details are downright disgusting and awful to hear.
It's vital for people to be informed. Yet if we're talking about abortion, the pro-abortion extremists want to keep people in the dark as much as possible. They don't want people to know the details of what happens during abortions, because, if they do know them, they invariably oppose it – a fact that Crockett laments.
Abortion advocates may want to keep women uninformed on abortion because that keeps it legal. But pro-lifers aren't trying to gross women out. We're the ones keeping women informed, and pro-abortion extremists like Crockett don't get to undermine that just because it doesn't suit their agenda.

I have the 6V from the 4xAA batteries into the Vin of the 3.3V voltage reulgator, it's ground to the ground of batteries (and therefore connected to Arduino), and the output connected to the 3.3v rail.
Thank you for any help. It is extremely frustrating trying to get this, and I cannot seem to find any up-to-date tutorials with my problem. If you know anything I could try, that would be great.

Middle man: Petersen poised to play key role in Va. Senate
by: MATTHEW BARAKAT, Associated Press
FILE – Members of the Virginia Senate are separated by transparent panels as they began the floor session inside the Virginia State Capitol in Richmond, Va., Monday, Aug. 2, 2021, the first day of the General Assembly Special Session. November's Republican victories in Virginia gave the GOP control of the governor's mansion and House of Delegates. But in the state Senate, they still need to find at least one Democrat to join them if they want to enact Gov.-elect Glenn Youngkin's agenda. (Bob Brown/Richmond Times-Dispatch via AP, File)
FAIRFAX, Va. (AP) — When Republicans reclaimed the governor's mansion and the House of Delegates after November elections in Virginia, Democrats were left only with a narrow 21-19 majority in the state Senate to block the GOP agenda and protect the raft of progressive legislation they passed in the last two years.
And with Republicans also winning the lieutenant governor post, which can cast the tie-breaking vote in the state Senate, the GOP needs to win over only a single centrist Democrat to claim the necessary majority to advance legislation.
That puts Democratic senators like Chap Petersen, a moderate from northern Virginia with a history of bipartisan cooperation, in an unusually powerful role as the Legislature prepares to convene next month to consider a two-year, $158 billion budget proposal and Gov.-elect Glenn Youngkin's "Day One" agenda, which includes a series of tax cuts, a promise to roll back liberal education reforms, and a host of other issues.
Petersen, for his part, is rejecting the notion that's he's in a position to play a Joe Manchin-type role in Virginia, as a centrist senator who holds sway over whether the governor's legislative agenda can move forward.
"At the end of the day, I'm a part of a team, and that team is the Democratic caucus," he said. "There's gonna be issues where I step out. It'll be done after careful thought."
He did say, though, that on issues of taxes and education, he may well be prepared to break with Democratic orthodoxy and support parts of Youngkin's plans.
For example, Petersen said he's interested in a tax cut that would help working families. Specifically, he cited a proposal to increase the standard deduction on Virginia income taxes, which Petersen said is a means to cut taxes from the bottom up and benefit working families.
"Cutting taxes for working families — that to me is the most Democratic issue of all," Petersen said.
It also meshes with part, but not all, of Youngkin's tax-cutting plan.
Another issue where Petersen might align with Youngkin is education. Petersen already bucked large elements of his own party last year when he teamed with another Democrat who sometimes finds himself at odds with his party, Sen. Joe Morrissey, and Republican Sen. Siobhan Dunnavant on legislation to ensure in-person instruction for public school students in the current school year.
Petersen's strong support for in-person instruction intertwines with a major theme of Youngkin's campaign.
Petersen and Youngkin have also expressed concerns about changes to the admission standardsat Fairfax County's elite Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology. The changes eliminated standardized tests as a major determinant of who is granted admission; critics say the changes obliterate high academic standards in the name of equity and diversity.
"There's probably been a couple issues where I have challenged the party orthodoxy," he said.
The potentially pivotal role that Petersen could play in Youngkin's agenda is not lost on the governor-elect. Youngkin called Petersen a few days after the November elections to introduce himself, Petersen said, and the two had a friendly conversation.
A Youngkin spokesperson declined to discuss his outreach efforts to Petersen, but Youngkin in recent public comments said generally that he is "encouraged not only by the leadership of the Republicans but also the bipartisan support on a number of fronts."
Democratic Majority Leader Richard Saslaw expressed little concern about defections in a brief phone interview.
"A lot of this has been overhyped," he said. "We've got to see what they (Republicans) are going to put in, and then we'll look at it as a caucus."
Petersen, a bow-tied lawyer from Fairfax, has been in the General Assembly for the better part of 20 years. He knocked off a Republican incumbent in the House of Delegates in 2001, and served two terms before a failed run for lieutenant governor. He then ran for state Senate in 2007, knocking off another GOP incumbent.
Over those 20 years, Fairfax County has become far more liberal, but Petersen's moderate outlook has found a home in the state Senate, which has avoided huge ideological shifts even when party control of the chamber flips.
"I may have been a Joe Manchin type, but I was one of a few Joe Manchins in the Senate. I mean, the Senate defeated a number of House bills that we thought were overreaching, but that's kind of our role," he said. "The House of Delegates tends to swing between extremes, and then the Senate tends to be the more moderate body."
At the same time, he said he was proud to support significant legislation advanced by Democratic majorities the last two years, including voting rights bills, and criminal justice reform, including abolition of the death penalty.
"I don't think of myself as a centrist," he said. "I just try and think of myself as somebody who thinks independently."


Discovery Health CEO Jonathan Broomberg launched a robust defence of the company on Thursday, saying its sustained profit was due to its efficiency and not abnormally high fees.
He was responding to the Competition Commission's report on the private health market. The commission said Discovery Health's operating model had enabled it to make large profits over a sustained period, which were far in excess of its competitors.
The provisional report, released at a briefing by former chief justice Sandile Ngcobo on Thursday, said the absence of effective competition to Discovery Health's dominance, which was growing ever stronger, was an indication of "market failure". The report did not suggest specific remedies to redress this dominance, but proposed a raft of measures to enhance competition in the medical-schemes market and to ensure better governance by administrators.
Broomberg rebutted accusations that Discovery Health charged higher than necessary service fees to its medical scheme clients and insisted that its profitability was due "to a number of business factors, including continuous innovation and greater operational effic-iency driven by management excellence and by large investments in advanced systems and customer service technologies".
In the year to end-June 2017 Discovery Health, which had 3.4-million members and a 40% share of the medical-schemes market, increased its normalised operating profit 11% to R2.5bn. Premium income from its core new business annualised rose 18% to R6bn.
Ngcobo said in his speech that the analysis conducted by the inquiry over the 10 years from 2006-2015 "shows that one player, Discovery Health, recorded sustained high profits over the entire period and much higher than its competitors Metropolitan and Medscheme".
The report said sustained levels of profitability had been found across the funder market and that "Discovery Health has, over a sustained period of time, earned profits that are a multiple of those of its main competitors, with no sign of [an] effective challenge".
"We acknowledge that much of Discovery Health's success is partly due to a highly competent management team, but we do not think this alone explains the significant gap in profitability when compared to its direct competitors. Higher than necessary service fees given economies of scale; a "locked-in" Discovery Health Medical Scheme that does not source services from any other industry stakeholder; risk selection; and broker management contribute to its profitability," it said.
"Under normal competitive conditions, Discovery Health's profitability would attract new competitors and stimulate competition from incumbents. There is no sign of this. On the contrary, we see Discovery Health growing and becoming more successful over time.
"This is an indication of market failure and there are no signals that the market will self-correct."
Broomberg said publicly available data demonstrated that "the weighted average administration expenses and managed care fees incurred by the open schemes administered by our major competitors were very similar to those incurred by Discovery Health Medical Scheme".
Public data also confirmed that the administration expenses and managed care fees incurred by Discovery Health Medical Scheme were almost exactly the same as the weighted average of all 22 open schemes when measured as a percentage of gross contribution income.
"The fees charged to Discovery Health Medical Scheme are in fact the 14th lowest out of 22 open medical schemes when measured on a rand per beneficiary per month basis, or 10th out of 22 open schemes when measured as a proportion of contribution income," he said.
"Similarly, the expenses incurred by Discovery Health's 18 restricted scheme clients are very close to the average expenses incurred by schemes administered by our competitors, and the weighted average fees charged to Discovery Health's restricted scheme clients are almost identical to the weighted average fees charged by our two major competitors."
An analysis showed that in 2017 for every R1 spent by Discovery Health Medical Scheme on administration and managed care fees, the members of the scheme received R2.10 in value from the activities of Discovery Health.

/5 Reasons to work in Bow
5 Reasons to work in Bow
Sitting within the borough of Tower Hamlets, Bow is part of eclectic East London. Discover why your business would benefit from being based here, plus some of the area's popular haunts.
Victoria Park gets around 9 million visitors per year, and it isn't hard to see why. This green space in the city is home to two cafes, a bandstand, and three lakes. Wander through the rose garden on your lunch break or book a court for a spot of tennis after work, this is a great place to unwind and get back in touch with nature after a busy workday.
Fish Island in Bow is a creative area that has a long history as a home to artists and art spaces. It's 50-acres of industrial buildings and artists' studios on a peninsula of land, surrounded by canals overlooking the Olympic Park. According to a 2009 study, it had one of the highest densities of fine artists, designers and artisans in Europe (around 600 artists' studios were registered). Channel 4's The Big Breakfast was broadcast live from "The Big Breakfast House" on Fish Island until 2002 too. So, if you're looking for a base for inspiration or for your existing creative enterprise, there's clearly something in the water here.
This is a great area for transport links, both within and out of the city. Bow is connected to the London Underground at Bow Road tube station on the District and Hammersmith & City lines, as well as Mile End tube station on the Central, District and Hammersmith & City lines. There's also the Docklands Light Railway Stratford-Canary Wharf line at Bow Church DLR Station and Devon's Road DLR on the Stratford to Poplar branch. Bromley-by-Bow tube station is served by the District and Hammersmith & City lines.
Numerous London Buses routes operate within the area and the A11 (Bow Road) passes east to west in south Bow, linking the area to Aldgate in the west and Stratford in the east. At Stratford, the road meets the A12 where eastbound traffic can continue towards Ilford, the M11 (for Stansted Airport) and destinations in Essex.
Bow is on London-wide and National cycle networks. For commuters, there's the Cycle Superhighway 2 (CS2) a commuter cycling route from Aldgate in the City to Stratford in the east. The route runs signposted, unbroken and traffic-free on cycle track for a majority of its route through Bow.
Roman Road Market attracts new people to the area all the time, meaning fresh customers and new business opportunities. This traditional East End street market has been running for over 150 years from 10am to 3.30pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays and from 9am to 4pm on Saturdays. Roman Road itself is lined with dozens of independent stores, cafes, and restaurants, giving you plenty of places to visit or take a client for lunch.
Dining out is easy in Bow. Thanks to the area's creative vibe, there's also fewer chain restaurants and far more independent businesses here. A great example is Targa Green Café on Tredegar Road, a vegan café with a Moroccan twist or Muxima, which is great for tapas and beers.
The Nunnery Gallery on 181 Bow Road opened a new in-house café, aptly named the Nunnery Café, which allows for artists and designers to showcase their work in the space too. We couldn't fail to mention The Bow Bells on, you guessed it, Bow Road. This traditional pub serves great food and drink, as well as providing a great space to relax after work.

Bankruptcy is a huge financial decision that should be considered carefully before undertaking. Learn as much as you can prior to doing anything.
Retirement accounts should be avoided at all costs. If you have to use a portion of your savings, make sure that you leave enough to sustain you and your family for a couple of months.
Don't be afraid to remind your lawyer about something she has missed. Don't just assume that they'll remember something important later without having a reminder. This is your bankruptcy case, so don't be scared to mention it.
The Bankruptcy Code lists assets that are excluded from bankruptcy. If you are not aware of the rules, things could get ugly.
Be sure you can differentiate between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy.Chapter 7 involves the elimination of all of your debts for good. All the things that tie you owe money to will disappear. Chapter 13 bankruptcy though will make you work out a five year repayment plan that takes 60 months to work with until the debts go away.
Filing for bankruptcy does not mean you have to lose your house. Depending on if your home's value has gone down or if it has a second mortgage, you may very well end up being able to keep your home. You are still going to want to check out the homestead exemption either way just in case.
Understand the differences between Chapter 7 bankruptcy and a Chapter 13 bankruptcy. Take the time to find out about each one online, and then figure out which one will be best for your particular situation.If you do not understand what you are reading, take the time to go over the specifics with your lawyer before making a decision on which type you will want to file.
The whole process for bankruptcy can be brutal. Lots of people decide they should hide from everyone until this is all done. This is not a good idea because you will only feel bad and this may cause serious problems with depression.So, it is critical that you spend what quality hours you can with loved ones, you should still be around those you love.
Make sure you are acting at an appropriate time. Timing can be critical when it comes to personal bankruptcy filings.Sometimes, filing as soon as you can is best, at other times, it is wise to get past the worst problems first. Speak with a bankruptcy lawyer to discuss the best time for you to file bankruptcy.

Viva La Bam är Bam Margeras egen show på MTV där han tillsammans med sitt "crew" bestående av "Raab Himself", Rake Yohn, Ryan Dunn, Brandon Novak och Brandon DiCamillo, driver med föräldrarna Phil & April Margera, Bams farbror Vincent Margera (Don Vito) samt alla andra som råkar komma förbi. Viva la Bam är ett program likt Jackass, enda skillnaden är att mycket av materialet i Viva La Bam inte är improviserat utan följer manus.

I Viva La Bam brukar olika kändisar dyka upp, sådana som Bloodhound gang, HIM, The Dudesons, Tony Hawk, Johnny Knoxville i avsnittet Fort knoxville. "Viva La Bam" nådde sitt slut år 2006 då den sista säsongen visades. Enligt Tim Glombs hemsida försöker delar av Bams crew övertala honom om att göra en CKY5, men än så länge finns inga uttalade planer på att göra någon uppföljare till Viva La Bam.

Margera har dock gjort en spinoff på sin TV-serie, kallad Bam's Unholy Union i vilken man får följa Bam och hans fästmös väg mot giftermål.

Os Kistes (  kist'ebi, ) são uma subetnia chechena na Geórgia. Eles vivem principalmente no Desfiladeiro de Pankisi, na região georgiana oriental de Kakheti, onde há aproximadamente 9.000 pessoas Kist. Os Kistes modernos não devem ser confundidos com o termo histórico Kists,   um etnônimo de origem georgiana, que foi usado para se referir aos povos Nakh na Idade Média.

Origens
As origens do povo Kist podem ser rastreadas até sua terra ancestral na baixa Chechênia. Nas décadas de 1830 e 1870, eles migraram para o desfiladeiro georgiano oriental de Pankisi e algumas terras adjacentes das províncias de Tuxécia e Caquécia . Chamados de "Kists" (ქისტები) em georgiano, eles estão intimamente relacionados culturalmente, linguística e etnicamente com outros povos de língua Nakh, como inguches e chechenos, mas seus costumes e tradições também compartilham muitas semelhanças com os montanhistas georgianos orientais.

Em 1886, um total de 2.314 Kists foram registrados como vivendo na Geórgia. No Censo Imperial Russo de 1897, havia 2.502 chechenos vivendo na Geórgia, dos quais 2.397 viviam no distrito de Tionetskiy (que incluía o Vale Pankisi). No Censo Soviético de 1939, o número de chechenos que vivem na Geórgia foi registrado em 2.533 pessoas.

História

Durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial, os Kists foram os únicos chechenos na União Soviética que não sofreram Limpeza étnica por Stalin em 1944.

Durante a Segunda Guerra Chechena, os Kistes deram abrigo a cerca de 7.000 refugiados da Chechênia.

Religião
A maioria dos Kistes adere à religião composta de crenças muçulmanas sunitas sincretizadas com o animismo Vainakh.  Pequenos bolsões de cristãos Kistes ainda permanecem em Pankisi, Tusheti e Kakheti. Até hoje, os Kists adoram os lugares sagrados em Khevsur. Highlanders do norte do Cáucaso e da Geórgia participaram juntos em celebrações religiosas até que as fronteiras fossem fechadas. Embora hoje os Kistes rezem na mesquita na aldeia de Duisi, eles também rezam nos locais de antigos santuários cristãos agora em ruínas. Os cristãos entre eles e alguns seguidores animistas rezam na igreja de São Jorge na aldeia de Joqolo. Além disso, os Kists celebram o Tetri Giorgoba, uma variação local do Dia de São Jorge .

Quando os Kists chegaram ao vale no início do século 19, vindos da Chechênia e da Inguchétia, suas práticas religiosas incluíam o Islã e sua religião Nakh original, com alguma sobreposição com as crenças nativas de seus vizinhos georgianos das terras altas. Havia também influências cristãs. Na segunda metade do século 19, o governo russo pressionou os Kistes a se converterem ao cristianismo ortodoxo, e houve vários episódios de batismos em massa e construção de igrejas. Em 1902, os Kistes, que permaneceram muçulmanos, construíram uma mesquita em Duisi, mas o governo russo se recusou a reconhecê-la. A mesquita Duisi foi fechada à força, juntamente com outras estruturas religiosas após a revolução bolchevique, e não foi reaberta até 1960. Sanikidze observa que muitos Kistes, independentemente de sua designação, têm uma mistura de práticas religiosas muçulmanas, cristãs e nativas.

Ao longo dos anos, um número considerável de Kistes se tornou cristão, mas o islamismo voltou a crescer entre os Kistes no período soviético, em parte porque os mulás "errantes" continuaram a fazer proselitismo e conseguiram persuadir muitos a se reconverterem ao Islã, um processo que continuou na década de 1970. Apenas Birkiani tem uma população majoritariamente cristã hoje. Há também uma pequena comunidade de Kistes em Kakheti (uma região da Geórgia na fronteira com o Gorge), principalmente na cidade de Telavi, que se consideram cristãos ortodoxos.

Q: PC based wifi hotpsot management I have got an ADSL internet connection with wireless tp link modem and a PC with Windows 7 OS. I would like to set up voucher based hotspot management system on this PC. Do I also need a wireless router with specialized firmware flashed into it in order to set up the system? Is it possible to set it up using my PC by making it act as a server by installing some hotpsot management application on it instead of flashing any specialized firmware on the router?

Reuters: Stated Income Loans Re-emerge In Mortgage Market
By Cassandra Dowell | August 18, 2014 June 11, 2019
An increase in stated income loans is being seen in the mortgage space as lenders seek new ways to attract clients, Reuters reports.
The loans, which are for those who can't provide tax returns or pay stubs to show their income, are making a comeback as companies such as Unity West Lending and Westport Mortgage chase customers they can no longer afford to ignore.
"Lenders say these aren't the same products as the so-called 'liar loans' that were pervasive before the housing bust," Reuters writes. "Instead, the loans are going to borrowers such as small business owners or investors buying properties they intend to rent who can demonstrate an ability to repay, verifiable through bank or brokerage statements."
But some rival lenders say the re-emergence of these types of loans add vulnerability to the industry, such as if borrowers fudge bank statements or don't have enough money to repay the loan.
To avoid the housing-bust taint, the new stated income loans are being called such things as alternative documentation loans, portfolio programs, alternative-income verification loans and asset-based loans.
Some lenders are lowering their standards to win new business, including Wells Fargo & Co, which said earlier this year it is willing to make loans to borrowers with credit scores as low as 600, down from a previous limit of 640.
But compared to the roughly $1 trillion of U.S. home loans anticipated this year, the stated income mortgage volume at National Mortgage Service is small. There is no available data about how widespread stated income mortgages are, and experts said that any growth in these products is off a small base.
In comparing today's stated income loans to those given leading up to the Great Recession, Reuters says, "The law, and the CFPB'S rules on the matter, will likely prevent lenders from re-embracing the worst varieties of stated income loans during the bubble years, such as so-called 'ninja' loans, a near-acronym for no income, no job or assets."

History of LaSalle County, Illinois ~ 1877
Sketch of Settlers
[Pages 451-454]
Grand Rapids and Fall River, till 1863, were one town, named Grand Rapids, from the Grand Rapids of the Illinois, which washed its northern border. It now embraces the Township 32 N., R. 4. There is a grove of timber along the creek on Secs. 6 and 7, called Ebersol' Grove; the remainder of the town is prairie. Covell creek rises near the southeast corner, and, running northwest, passes out on S. 6. The high land or divides on the east and west sides of the town are quite elevated, and have considerable descent to the creek and its branches, in the centre of the town, giving good drainage, a diversified surface, and a more than ordinarily picturesque view to a prairie landscape.
The early settlements were nearly all on the only grove in the town, on Secs. 6 and 7.
Henry HIBBARD came from Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1827, and made a claim on S. 5, in 1829, on what has been called the EBERSOL farm. John McKERNAN bought the claim of DISNEY, in 1831, who must have purchased of HIBBARD. McKERNAN settled there in 1831, and sold to EBERSOL in 1834.
Joseph EBERSOL, with Elizabeth SHUEY, his wife, and family, came here from Harrisburg, Pa., and in August, 1834, purchased of Mrs. McKERNAN, her claim on S. 5, and made that his home, till he died in 1873. His wife died in 1870. He was a blacksmith by trade, though a farmer most of his life; he brought his anvil and other tools to Illinois. Improvement was made on his farm in 1828; orchard set in 1830. He left seven children: A. M., (see Fall River); Daniel, (see Ottawa); Albert, in Grand Rapids; Catharine, married Michael BUDD; Louisa, married Geo. H. RUGG, now of Ottawa; Helen, married Edward REED, of Grand Rapids; Samuel, was thrown from a horse, and killed, when 33 years old.
Eleazar HIBBARD, came from Cincinnati, married a sister of Darius REED, and settled on S. 6. He separated from his wife, and either abandoned or sold his claim and went to Putnam County.
Benjamin B. REYNOLDS, and wife, Elma SCOFIELD, from Mifflin County, Penn., in 1835; settled on S. 6. His father, Judge David REYNOLDS, came with him and assisted in opening his farm, and then returned to Pennsylvania. He still occupies his old farm on Secs. 5 and 6, part being the claim of HIBBARD. His children are: Mary A., David, Pascalena, Eleanora, John P., Sarah E., James C., Benjamin B., Jr., and Washington.
Luke RUGG, with his wife, Salome PATCH, and family, from Lancaster, Worcester County, Mass., settled on S. 23, in 1839. He was one of the Worcester colony, started by Geo. W. LEE, John D. THURSTON, Pyam JACOBS, and others. Mr. RUGG, at the time of settlement, was four miles from timber and three miles from neighbors, and after a residence of ten years neither timber nor neighbors had approached any nearer, except a grove of locust about his place, known over the county as RUGG's Grove.
Sick of seclusion from society and despairing of the settlement of that region, Mr. RUGG moved to Ottawa in 1849, where he died. His children are: Lewis, who came with his father's family in 1839; married Sophia DIMMICK; lived a few years in Ottawa, and is now in Pontiac. George H., lived with his father, till he moved to Ottawa, in 1849. He invented and manufactured RUGG's Harvester, for several years a popular and successful machine. He is now manufacturing furniture in Ottawa. Charles went to Iowa.
John ANDERSON, a native of Ireland, came from Clinton County, N. Y., here I 1837; settled, with a family, on S. 6. In 1849 he mysteriously disappeared, and was never heard from afterward.
The prairie region of Grand Rapids, after 1850, rapidly settled, and the region so long occupied by Mr. RUGG, and him alone, was, soon after he left it, teeming with an active and well-to-do population. It is related that the settlement of that town commenced at the north end and progressed south. The town was soon made a school district, and a schoolhouse built in the northwest corner. Soon after, that district was limited to four sections, named No. 1, and the remainder made district No. 2, and a good house built; that district was then limited to four sections in the northeast corner, and the balance of the town made district No. 3, which at once voted a tax to build a school-house. This process was continued till the last four sections in the southeast corner of the town, having helped build all the school-houses in the other eight districts, had to build their own without outside help. The houses were all very fine ones. They were built by a tax on the real estate in the district, and by a vote of the people who lived in all those instances mostly in the four sections, which in the end composed the district, and as the remainder of the territory taxed was nearly all owned by speculators, with no one residing on it, the voters were very generous in voting a tax, or as some called it, "salting the speculators."
One of those speculators who owned three sections in the last district, complained of being legally fleeced. He said, "I have paid a liberal tax to build nine different school houses, better ones than are usually seen in older sections of the country, and now three men settled on the one section I do not own, vote a tax of ten or twelve hundred dollars, three-fourths of which I have to pay. These Western men are ardent supporters of education." This last statement of the building of school-houses may have been an exaggeration in this instance, but similar cases did occur, and forcibly show the nature of the contest waged between the settlers and those called land speculators. And where the settlers made the laws and executed them, they frequently had the advantage.

Denzel Washington Made Katie Couric Uncomfortable In An Interview
Recently, Katie Couric recalled her awkward and uncomfortable interview with Denzel Washington. She says it left her shaken.
Mehak Zahra
While most of the time, celebrities are civil and respectable towards each other, sometimes the exchange can be awkward too. Recently, Katie Couric recalled an uncomfortable interview with Denzel Washington.
https://www.instagram.com/p/B_lI_cclUmH/
Related: Equalizer 2 Not Up To Par
In their respective careers, Denzel Washington and Katie Couric have made a huge name for themselves
While Katie Couric is best known for her daytime talk show, Katie, she has an impressive resume. Initially, she worked for ABC News as a reporter. However, she moved on to CNN shortly after and worked as an assignment editor. From 1989 to 2006, Katie Couric worked with NBC as a deputy Pentagon correspondent and a substitute anchor. Not only is she a world-renowned journalist, but she has also written many books as well.
On the other hand, Denzel Washington started his career with a comedy-drama film, Carbon Copy. However, it was his portrayal of an ex-slave soldier in Glory which brought him into the spotlight. That film earned him his first Oscar win. After that, there was no looking back for Denzel Washington and he starred in many award-winning films. Some of his best films include Malcolm X, Philadelphia, Training Day, The Manchurian Candidate, American Gangster, and Fences.
Recently, Couric recalled an awkward interview with Washington.
During her appearance on a podcast, 'Everything Iconic' with Danny Pellegrino, she shared her experience. When asked if any interview left her 'bamboozled', she remembers her interaction with Denzel Washington. She said:
"I think he totally misconstrued a question I asked and kind of jumped all over me. I love him. And I admire him so much – he's one of my favourite actors – but I remember walking out feeling kind of shaken that he had gone after me in a way that was completely, weirdly uncalled for."
It was her interview with the cast of The Manchurian Candidate for Dateline. During the interview, she asked Denzel Washington if Hollywood folks should stick to acting and not talk about politics. However, he took offense and said:
"I don't know what Hollywood folks are, first of all," Washington responded. "Hollywood is a town that has some stars on the sidewalk. I don't know anybody from there. So, I don't … that's like saying … calling you a type of folks. I'm not a Hollywood folk. I don't know who they are."
When Couric tried to explain her question and rephrase it, he said:
"Ah, there you go. 'Am I one of those people?' Hmmm, isn't that interesting? I heard what you just said. 'Am I one of those people?' No, I'm not. I'm a human being. My job is acting."
This was the interview that left Couric disturbed and uncomfortable.

Got a real kick this morning listening to three of the four shortlisted stories for this year's BSFA award for short fiction on the always exciting Starship Sofa podcast. Thought all three readings were well done and showcased the stories well, and urge anyone who is eligible to vote for the BSFA awards to get on over there and have a listen. For those who prefer to read rather than listen, all four of the shortlisted pieces (including Peter Watts' The Things which is missing from the Starship Sofa podcast) will shortly be landing on the doormats of BSFA members in the annual awards booklet.
On a personal note, it was both thrilling and weird to hear Arrhythmia being professionally read. Thrilling because I think reader Simon Hildebrandt has nailed the tone and mood of the story, but weird too because there's more to this particular story than just words. It was conceived with specific melodies and background music, but it would have been both impossible and wrong to try and be proscriptive about those, so the result is similar to the feeling you get when hear someone singing Happy Birthday or Auld Lang Syne to a different melody than the one you've been used to every night. Of course only I, and a small number of people that have heard me perform bits of the story, know the melodies that I had in mind when I wrote it, so this is purely a personal reaction and therefore almost entirely irrelevant. But it's interesting to me anyway.
Argh! Forgot to renew my BSFA membership, but now, reading your post here, I MUST get hold of those stories.


What kind of grill do you have? I am wondering what kind of adapter you would need to attach it to your grill? I have been using copper pipe and plate to make my grill adapters (because copper can be soldered and doesn't rust, and making right angles is easy), it works out well on my FauxMado grill but I haven't made one for another grill yet.

So I wont be able to print any jobs this large until next week when I get my filament (and I will only have those two colors to offer, I have a few more colors I can offer for the arrow and marker lines).
Meanwhile I am making a few tweaks to the design.... One thing I am working on now is adding 3 probe jacks that I will connect to the CAT5 connector so (theoretically) we can make the probe connections on the back of the damper and connect them to the HM through the CAT5 cable if you like... I haven't tested this yet (connecting the probes through the CAT5 cable) so I am not sure if it will work well, or if long CAT5 cable runs will effect the probe accuracy or not. If it works out you will be able to run three probes, the servo damper and the blower over a standard CAT5 cable which will allow you to keep the HM further away from the pit in case of bad weather/winter etc.
You should have no problem running the probes over cat5 cable.
Juan, what did you have in mind to use for your grill adapter? Square, Round? I could make the output of the valve be whatever shape/size, but I would prefer to test the fit before I send it out to you.
100Mb Ethernet runs at 100 meter segments before requiring a repeater, I think you'll be fine unless you're pushing much less power than Ethernet to your probes to your buddy's house all the way down the street.
Just remember that the 100 meter limitation is for solid core cat5, not the stranded stuff that patch cables are made from.
The cat5 distance limitations only apply because of the fast signaling rate being transmitted across the wires. The signals from the servo/blower/probes are extremely slow, so that is not a concern at all. What could be more of a concern is the resistance of the wire since it will be in series with the thermistor, but unless you're running extremely long distances with really thin gauge wire with a thermistor that has a low nominal resistance value it shouldn't be a concern.
I've been running the servo damper and blower through a CAT5 cable for a long time now, it was the resistance of the wire and possibly the connectors that I wasn't sure about having an effect on the probe readings/resistance.

The way it has been raining for the past week, we should be catching up on the rainfall shortage for the year. I understand we need rain, but I sure would prefer getting it in smaller amounts, rather than flash flood quantities--especially when I have to drive in it.
Even with the thunderstorms our weather has been pretty decent. There are some windy days still, but we might just find ourselves wishing for them when the dog days roll in during late July and August.
One weather surprise was this Wednesday morning. When I walked out on my rear deck just before sunrise it was only 56 degrees. I dealt with a little fog headed to the boat and out the inlet that morning, but fortunately it wasn't nearly as bad as I was concerned it could be.
A couple of days ago it appeared we were going to have another windy weekend, but the forecast has mellowed some. We are looking at some gusty winds early today (Friday), but by late afternoon they should lay out to less than 15 and remain there throughout the weekend.
Monday looks to be a great start for the Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament with southwest breezes of around 5 knots. The ladies will start with a little more on Saturday morning, but should subside to 5-10 by early afternoon.
Speaking of the Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament--it begins on Saturday with the Ladies big Rock. Then after a day of rest and registration on Sunday, the tournament begins in earnest on Monday and runs through next Saturday. Each boat is allowed a maximum of four fishing days of the six available.
There has been pretty good offshore action for several weeks. Even a few larger marlin have been caught already. The Big Rock should feature lots of billfish releases and several big blues being brought to the scales. The scales are at the Big Rock Landing on Front Street in Morehead city and will be open every day. There should be some large tuna, dolphin and wahoo arriving each afternoon to keep the spectators entertained between billfish.
The nearshore waters are warming and almost daily there are reports of smaller dolphin and kings getting closer to the beaches. Last weekend there were kings caught just a few miles off the beaches all along the state. There were even a few smaller dolphin mixed in with the kings. As the water temps continue to rise, these fish will continue to move closer to the beaches and more dolphin will also find their way closer in.
The cobia bite remains red hot. They are biting from Little River Inlet to Oregon Inlet. There have been reports of 50 and 60 pound cobia caught everywhere and even a few approaching 100 pounds.
The Spanish mackerel have arrived and more seem to be getting here almost daily. The nearshore trollers are reporting good catches of blues and Spanish mackerel right off the beaches. Around the inlets and along the shoals at Cape Fear, Cape Lookout and Cape Hatteras have been good spots to try.
The pier fishermen continue to see a pretty mixed catch. Bogue Inlet Pier reported water temps of 76 degrees early in the week and the summer fish are arriving strong. The warming water temperatures are also causing some of the spring fish to move on.
Sea mullet were the biggest part of the pier catch again this week, but that may change soon. Many pluggers have been doing very well with Spanish mackerel and filling their limits regularly. Other fish being caught include trout (speckled and gray), spots, blowfish, drum (red and black), dogfish, pompano, flounder and bluefish. A king mackerel hasn't yet been landed from one of the local piers, but a few have hit the planks down south and it could begin here at any time. There are still a few of the big Hatteras bluefish around to keep things interesting as they try to steal baits from the end-of-the-pier fishermen.
In the inshore waters, trout and drum continue to bite pretty well and more flounder are finding their way into local catches. Several guides and fishermen said we just had the best week yet for flounder and the flounder numbers are several weeks ahead of last year.
There was only 1.5 pounds separating the top three fish in last weekend's Carteret County Sportfishing Association Cobia Tournament and all of them weighed more than 80 pounds. The winner was decided by only .1 pound or 1.6 ounces. Congratulations to Jeremy Cannon for winning the tournament with an 83.3 pounder. Congratulations also to Michael Tickle and Adam Price for finishing second and third respectively with cobia of 83.2 and 81.8 pounds.
The Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament begins this Saturday with the Ladies Big Rock and winds up Next Saturday. Daily weigh-ins will be on the Morehead City waterfront. For more information visit www.thebigrock.com or call 252-247-3575.

For NHL draft prospect Shea Theodore, it's a matter of how hard you work, not where you've played
If Shea Theodore needed convincing that a professional hockey career was worth the physical and mental strain of improving his game, the budding defenceman received one in Grade 9. The Aldergrove native accompanied his father Cam on a school work-day program to experience what the millwright manages while maintaining and constructing machinery for sawmills. He quickly learned that gripping a hockey stick was far superior to turning a wrench.

If Shea Theodore needed convincing that a professional hockey career was worth the physical and mental strain of improving his game, the budding defenceman received one in Grade 9.
The Aldergrove native accompanied his father Cam on a school work-day program to experience what the millwright manages while maintaining and constructing machinery for sawmills. He quickly learned that gripping a hockey stick was far superior to turning a wrench.
For NHL draft prospect Shea Theodore, it's a matter of how hard you work, not where you've played Back to video
"That was one of the hardest days of my life," admitted the offensively-gifted Seattle Thunderbirds defenceman, expected to be a second-round pick in the NHL draft on Sunday in Newark, N.J.
"I fell asleep in the lunchroom after five hours. He has to work hard in different aspects of his job and he bounces around to various mills. Hopefully that work-ethic help will carry me far."
However, by staying near his B.C. home and preferring to play minor and then triple-A major midget in the Fraser Valley — instead of opting for one of the Lower Mainland's more prominent programs — he had an opportunity to join the Burnaby Winter Club.
But staying put meant Theodore was able to maintain friendships and a love for the game. He was never expected or pushed to play in the same league as elite prospects, and the comfort factor complemented his own drive to succeed.
After all, his mom Corrine works at a bank. And his sister Alyssa is studying kinesiology in the Fraser Valley while also playing in two beer leagues, where she was the leading scorer. She also holds down a part-time job, too, so there's a mutual respect for what everybody has on their plates.
"My dad never really put pressure on me to be the best player," stressed Theodore. "I never got yelled at on the way home after games, and it's always been pretty relaxed around our house.
"He said if you're good enough, scouts will find you and that's what happened. I was always one of the better players on my team and I'd get lots of ice time, but I had lots of friends growing up and it was good to stay and play with the same guys for four or five years until I moved to play major midget."
Don't get the wrong idea. It's not that Theodore is so laid back that he just takes what comes to him naturally and simply goes with the flow.
'HOLDS HIMSELF ACCOUNTABLE'
Below that calm demeanour, the pulse races to reach a pro potential. It played out this season as Theodore amassed 19 goals and 50 points while the rejuvenated Thunderbirds advanced to the WHL playoffs.
He also had five assists in seven games as Team Canada claimed the world under-18 championship under the guidance of Vancouver Giants coach Don Hay.
"He holds himself accountable," said Thunderbirds bench boss Steve Konowalchuk.
"When you get down on him, he looks in the mirror and you can tell it bothers him and he responds the right way. I don't come down on him very often, because he usually comes to play. He's not satisfied to be an OK player, he wants to be the best."
COMPARED BY COACH
What that means is open to interpretation. Theodore projects as an NHL player in a few years — unlike possible top pick Seth Jones of the Portland Winterhawks, who may beat the odds and get there this fall — and it's not surprising that a player who's so good with the puck needs to be better without it.
Positioning and battling are challenges for all blueliners — especially those with giddy-up who love to jump up in the play.
Theodore often gets compared to Mike Green of the Washington Capitals or Erik Karlsson of the Ottawa Senators, but Konowalchuk believes he may be akin to Kevin Shattenkirk of the St. Louis Blues.
OFFENSIVE GIFTS
Konowalchuk worked in player development for Colorado when Shattenkirk — the 14th overall pick in the 2007 draft by the Avalanche — had 26 points in 46 games in the 2010-11 season before he was dealt in a multi-player swap.
"Shattenkirk needed to get stronger and harder defensively, but he could really pass," added Konowalchuk. "Theodore can really beat guys 1-on-1 and move it up the ice and run the power play, because he has those offensive gifts every team is looking for. The next step is becoming a well-rounded player."
Maybe that's why Theodore followed Ed Jovanovski when the high-risk, high-reward defenceman played for the Vancouver Canucks.
LOOKED LIKE A ROVER
Even when he started to ascend the hockey laded at age eight, Theodore looked more like a rover than a blueliner because he could cover a lot of ice. By the second year of bantam, he was a two-way threat.
"When they needed a goal, they'd put me on forward and I'd get a couple of goals and then (go) back on defence— I was kind of all over the map," recalled Theodore. "But then by my midget year, I went strictly to defence."
And that's when he really started popping up on the radar. Theodore was sick the week before the 2013 NHL Combine and admitted to puking after the windgate test to measure peak anaerobic power and the V02 test to test the transport and use of oxygen. He was then interviewed by 22 teams and headed home.
To do what?
"Hang out with friends," summed up Theodore. "Nothing too reckless. I live in a small town and there's not a whole lot to do there."
He wouldn't have it any other way, until the big city lights come calling.

The Jerry Douglas Band 7/14/17
Dobro master and 13-time Grammy winner Jerry Douglas is to the resonator guitar what Jimi Hendrix was to the electric guitar: elevating, transforming, and reinventing the instrument in countless ways. In addition to being widely recognized as the foremost master of the Dobro, Jerry Douglas is a freewheeling, forward-thinking recording artist whose output incorporates elements of bluegrass, country, rock, jazz, blues and Celtic into his distinctive musical vision.
Called "dobro's matchless contemporary master," by The New York Times, thirteen-time Grammy winner Jerry Douglas is one of the most innovative recording artists in music, both as a solo artist and member of groundbreaking bands including J.D. Crowe & the New South, the Country Gentlemen, Boone Creek, and Strength In Numbers. Douglas' distinctive sound graces more than 1500 albums, including discs released by Garth Brooks, Paul Simon, James Taylor, Elvis Costello, Earl Scruggs, and Ray Charles, among many others.
Since 1998, he's been a key member of "Alison Krauss and Union Station featuring Jerry Douglas", touring extensively and co-producing and playing on a series of platinum albums. He has produced albums for Krauss, the Del McCoury Band, Maura O'Connell, and Jesse Winchester and is is co-Music Director of the acclaimed BBC TV series Transatlantic Sessions, and his latest solo album Traveler features guest appearances by such notable friends as Paul Simon, Mumford & Sons, and Eric Clapton, among others.
As he continues his incalculable influence on Americana, bluegrass and their many related genres, Douglas forges as a true pioneer in American music.


Thanks to Jimmy Kimmel, celebrities get to be publicly humiliated every year by reading out loud some of the meanest – and funniest – tweets about them.
This year was the musicians' turn. Tons of singers including Nick Jonas, Usher, Pink, Alice Cooper, TLC and Adam Levine were shown in the segment reading hurtful things about themselves.
Here are some of the tweets they read: "Common is the Pottery Barn of rappers", "Saying Blink-182 is your favorite band is like saying I'm okay living with herpes", and our personal favorite: "Nick Jonas was cute back when he was in the Jonas Brothers, and now he looks like a ferrit".
It may seem a bit sadistic to make them read those tweets out loud, but thankfully, they have a great sense of humor. Let's take Pink for example: after reading the following tweet "Pink makes music for obnoxious white bridal parties that drunkingly walk into a Denny's and ruin everyone's evening", the singer answered "I would've said a waffle house, but okay".
Check out all the tweets and celebrity reactions in the video below!
