Long
Branch, NY Tornado
September 15, 1912
How Fatalities Occurred
The one man instantly killed by the storm was
Wilson Mathewson.
He was a farmer, 53 years of age, and lived
about three-quarters of a mile from Long Branch.
With his wife, Mr. Mathewson had stepped from a
car that had carried him from the city to Long
Branch.  They were both in the trolley
station at Long Branch preparing to go to their
home.  When the wind caught the trolley
station in its grasp, Mr. Mathewson was carried
along with it.  He was struck by the
timbers.  His body was caught in the grip
of the tornado and carried a distance of about
100 feet from where the station had stood.
He was found on a hillside and died before help
reached him.
GW Dopp
of Fulton and Charles Chapman of Pitcher hill
died in hospitals, the former in Genesee
hospital and the latter at St. Joseph's.
Mr. Dopp was employed as a motorman on the
Syracuse, Lakeshore & Northern railroad.
Dopp was in his car, which was at the Long
Branch shop.  When the storm came he was
engaged in cleaning the front window in order
that he might have a better view of the tracks
when the trip was resumed.
The car was close beside the waiting room,
and when it crashed down the roof of the
structure crashed into the car.  Dopp had
no chance to escape.  His chest and skull
were crushed.  He was rushed to the city in
an automobile and then taken to the Genesee
hospital, where he died at 10:30 o'clock.
Dopp was 22 years of age.
Charles Chapman
died at St. Joseph's hospital.  Mr. Chapman
ran a store at Pitcher Hill.  The house and
store were under the same roof. When the storm
hit the building Mr. Chapman tried to get to a
door to close it.  As he did he was caught
beneath the falling timbers of the house and
crushed.  His chest was crushed and he
received internal injuries that proved fatal.
Mr. Chapman was 45 year of age and is survived
by his wife and several children.

TORNADO WRECKED SUMMER COTTAGES
Sunday's Storm Played Havoc Along Seneca
River
Visitor is Badly Hurt
Reuben Dudley
said to have sustained fractured skull -- Union
men offer their services to rebuild damaged
buildings.
Reuben Dudley,
a visitor at one of the cottages on the Seneca
Road is said to have suffered a fracture of the
skull as a result of the tornado of Sunday.
Reports of the damage to the cottages along the
Seneca river today showed that the tornado
played great havoc there and many persons
escaped death and injury only by good fortune.
Robert Prager
[?] a cottager near Long Branch, had tied his
motorboat to a tree near his cottage.  The
tornado uprooted the tree and [illegible] upon
his cottage, carrying the motorboat ten feet in
to the air where it hung by the rope.
A cottage owned by
Clarence Dunn was completely wrecked.
This cottage was about 100 feet from another
cottage where Mr. Dunn's family were huddled in
fear as trees crashed down in the woods about
hem.  Trees along the river, leaning over,
were hurled over in the opposite direction.
Mr. Dudley
was struck by an iron flag pole which broke into
three pieces while he was trying to fasten a
motorboat.
Syracuse Herald, Syracuse, NY 18 Sept
1912
A fatal accident to
Samuel Smith, who lived at Park and
Center streets, is directly attributable to the
tornado.  He started to walk from Long
Branch to this city, was hit by a trolley car
near Pleasant Beach and when brought to St. Joseph's hospital several hours afterwards, it
was found that his skull was fractured and his
right arm had been severed at the shoulder.
Syracuse Herald, Syracuse, NY 16 Sept
1912
North of Liverpool the storm first struck the
farm of Bartholomew
Smith, blowing the roof off the barn,
blowing in windows of the house and whirling
furniture about.
HM Younglove's greenhouse across
the road was blown to pieces.  Mowing
machines were carried [illegible] feet by the
wind.....
The home of Thomas
E. Bennett was torn from its stone
foundation and carried at least twenty feet.
Mr. Bennett and his wife were unhurt.  He
tried to protect her from heavy beams and boards
that fell about them and his shoulder was
dislocated and his chest injured, though it is
not thought seriously.  Across from the
Bennett's
Lewis Keith's
home was destroyed and the aged man and his
family narrowly escaped death or serious injury.
Several tons of coal in a woodshed were moved
several feet, woodshed and all.
At Pitcher Hill among the wrecked buildings
are the house and barn of
Mr. Chapman,
the home of HU
Wendell, home and barn of
William Michaels,
the schoolhouse and other buildings to say
nothing of those that are unroofed or twisted.
The farmers there are stared in the face by
ruin.
Mr. Chapman
was the only one downstairs when his home was
demolished and he was killed. His family and
friends were upstairs and were only
comparatively slightly hurt.  He was
crushed by heavy timbers under one corner of the
store.  He had evidently been trying to
close the door when the wind tumbled the
building down. Mrs. Chapman, who was slightly
injured by falling bricks and timber was
frantic.  Girls upstairs were hurled down
with the house and cut and bruised.
After the building fell
Miss Laura Hazelmyre, a guest at
the house, climbed out and was seen standing on
the roof covered with blood.  She had saved
the life of Edna Odin, a girl of 12, by throwing
her out of the window though how or why she did
it she does not know.  Miss Hazelmyre was
bruised and lacerated all over her body an a
large piece was torn from one of her limbs but
she was able to be up this morning and to limp
along the road.  Miss Hazlemyre is only
about 18 years old and other in the house,
excepting Mrs. Chapman
and Mrs. Louis Haber,
were all children.
All were upstairs save
Mr. Chapman.  Mrs. Chapman
crazed by the terrible disaster, managed to get
out of the wreckage that was once a home an
tried to find her husband.  He was found
crushed and died in St. Joseph's hospital.
It was necessary to saw away several [illegible]
before Mr. Chapman could be gotten out.
Jacob Kronder,
and employee of William
Merrell at Pitcher Hill, is likely to
die.  He and Merrell were in the barn when
the cyclone came.  A beam struck Kronder
and he went down.  The wind seemed to pick
up the barn and carry it and Mr. Merrell rode in
the storm, praying to God as he was carried
along.  Wagons were driven pas him by the
wind.  In an instant it was over, but it
seemed like years.  Merrell's home and
furniture and several barns were destroyed.
John Wilkinson
was between his house and barn when the cyclone
struck him and he was knocked down by flying
timbers.  His injuries while not apparently
serious may develop seriously.
William Michaels's
house, just south of the
Chapman's place, is twisted out of
shape and his barn is completely demolished.
In the wreckage of the barn lies a white horse,
killed by the falling timbers.  The house
outside does not look so bad but inside it is a
wreck.  It is twisted out of shape,
plastering is fallen everywhere.  Mr.
Michaels was going from the barn to the house
and the wind blew him against the house with
great force...
The homes of Earl
Benz and
Albert Jewell are in ruins.
Fred Zwicki
lost part of his house and all of his barn.
A big wagon was hurled through his henhouse.
Willard Davis
lost the roof from his house and not a shred was
left together of his barn.  In his
[illegible] are dead chickens by the score.
His family of children were in the house but
were not hurt.  Mr. Davis was in a lot near
his home and was knocked down by the wind, while
flying timbers were carried over his head.
He was not injured.
The home of Sidney
Price and his barn were wrecked.
One cow as left in the cellar of the barn this
morning and neighbors and friends tried to get
it out.  Another cow was hurt and
spectators begged that it be killed. It is said
that it would be.  The front of Mr. Price's
house was torn off and only two rooms were
undamaged.  From the front upstairs a
little picture could be seen this morning
evidently hurled from the wall and fastened by
the wind across the end of a partition that it
had torn off.

5/2/11We have recieved many calls from our friends and we are happy to report that our locations in Tuscaloosa, Northport and Birmingham suffered no damage and are open. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of those affected by Wednesday's storms.
___________________________________________________________________________________________
10/20/10You may be familiar with our Dreamland brand, but you may not be familiar with our history. Dreamland was the dream of
Tuscaloosa, Ala. , native John “Big Daddy” Bishop.  Big Daddy opened Dreamland in 1958 off of highway 82 and Interstate 59 just south of Tuscaloosa in the
Jerusalem
Heights area.   Since that time and to this day, the original store still serves up Dreamland’s legendary ribs.  Our atmosphere gives you a down-home casual feel.  At the original store you will find the décor inside is warm and dark; a dining room with a big bar, booths and a pot-bellied stove; beer signs hanging from the oak beams and Christmas lights that flash all year-round.  The first store to open outside of Tuscaloosa was in
Birmingham, Ala. , in 1993.   The restaurant is nestled in the revitalized Southside neighborhood.  Dreamland’s very presence on Southside has added to the area’s transformation and economic growth.  In addition to the Tuscaloosa and Birmingham stores, you will now find six other locations in Alabama and Georgia.  Our legendary ribs and sauce are on the menu at every location, but you’ll also find the menus have been expanded to include pulled pork, barbecue chicken, hickory smoked sausage, baked beans, coleslaw, potato salad and house salads.  We also served our homemade banana pudding for dessert made with Bud’s Best vanilla wafers.
If you’re not near a Dreamland restaurant, not to worry, because we offer most of our menu items online along with our original Dreamland merchandise.  We deliver anywhere in the United States and some parts of Canada .
We hope you stop by one of our restaurants soon.  You never know who you’ll meet.
Our motto still holds true today “Ain’t Nothing Like ‘Em Nowhere!”
See you soon!

Let The Good Times Roll!
It doesn’t matter if you’re a Saints fan or Colts fan, Big Daddy says this weekend it’s time to ‘Let the Good Times Roll’ (that’s Laissez Les Bons Temps Rouler for you Saints fans).
Good times and football parties begin with family and friends gathering to watch the game.   At Dreamland we also believe that the good times begin with good food and hearty menu ideas.  Big Daddy recommends the following ‘Good Times’ Dreamland recipes for you party planners.
Saints fans you’ll have them giving you automatic first downs when you serve our Dreamland Red Beans and Rice:
Dreamland Red Beans and Rice2 cans of red kidney beans drained1 can whole peeled tomatoes undrained1 teaspoon olive oil1 small white onion, finely chopped1 small green bell pepper, finely chopped1 tablespoon garlic powder1/2 tablespoon rubbed sage1/2 tablespoon cayenne pepper3 cups long grain white rice1 lb. Dreamland Smoked Sausage, sliced into small piecesPour the oil into a large deep pan.
Sauté the onion, bell pepper and sausage until the vegetables are tender, which takes about 4 minutes. Add the beans, tomatoes with their juice and the spices. Cook until liquid is almost at a boil then reduce heat to medium low and simmer for 20 minutes uncovered. While the food is simmering, prepare the rice. After it simmers for 20 minutes, serve the beans and sausage mixture over the rice.

Sreelata YellamrazuJun 30 2010
There is an apprehension running through although Australia do not want to admit it as a result of a collective failure. From Tim Nielsen’s wanting of a 5-0 whitewash, notions have turned around to players wanting to avoid that happening to them.england happy australia not
Doug Bollinger said it as much. Shane Watson tried not to say it. Australia would be gutted if they were to the lose the NatWest ODI series 5-0. The Australian coach is already eating humble pie while the Australian captain, Ricky Ponting, is mystified. However, like Ponting said, they have only pride to fight for. And fight Australia must, because England are on a high and they have plans in place, while Australia look in disarray and cannot seem to put together a strong batting performance.But that is the need of the hour. If Australia cannot get their rhythm together, they may in for more than they bargained for when they left their own shores. England would be looking to sharpen the sword, and Andrew Strauss will want to avoid late hiccups at all costs, a la the third ODI.England Complete Treble as Australia Bite The DustEng Aus ODI 3:England Come Out on Top in Tense FinishEng Aus ODI 3 Half Time: Australia fold for 212 as Swann Strikes with Four-ForEngland in a Fix - Do They Watch Eng v Ger Football World Cup or Eng v Aus ODI 3?Panicked Australia Call upon Shaun TaitPonting Irked by "Shift in Anglo Australian Power"; Retaliates with Bragging RightsEng Aus ODI 2 Full Time: Bowling sets up win for EnglandEngland Australia ODI Series, NatWest Series Schedule, ResultsEng Aus ODI 2 Full Time: Strauss, Morgan Give England 2-0 LeadEng Aus ODI 2 Half Time: Tidy England restrict Australia to 239Eng Aus ODI 1: Morgan ton helps England draw first blood, as 3000th ODI is Played!On 3000th ODI, Haroon Lorgat Talks Up Scope of ODIsAustralian Coach Wants Nothing Less than WhiteWash in ODI Series against EnglandPonting Says ODI Series Against England A Prelude to the AshesAustralia in England ODI Schedule sees Teams Warm Up Against Ireland, ScotlandCatherine Zeta Jones, Kyle McCallan and Duckworth Lewis Men Enjoy Queen's Birthday ListKP May Leave Hampshire Because of LocationPonting, Hussey Wary of Split Innings Proposal for ODIs by Cricket AustraliaSiddle Admits Lack of Fitness Let Him Down While Johnson has Been in Top ShapeSteve Finn: England’s latest sensation and He’s a Looker (Check Pics)Mitchell Johnson Out of ODI series against England with Infected ElbowMixed Opinions about Ashes Preparation for Australia with Tests against India

Examining The Impact Of Renewable Energy On The Electric Power Grid
A power grid in California.
by Staff Writers
Troy NY (SPX) Nov 13, 2006
With a $1.23 million grant, researchers from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute will be creating a distributed power "test-bed" to study how the electricity distribution grid might be affected by the widespread adoption of clean, renewable energy sources.
The two-year project, which is funded by the New York State Office of Science, Technology and Academic Research (NYSTAR), is designed to help understand the potential effects of meeting New York state's key alternative energy goal - by 2012, more than 25 percent of power generation through renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, and fuel cells.
"Global energy security is the greatest challenge of our time," Rensselaer President Shirley Ann Jackson said. "The solutions rest in redundancy of supply and diversity of source, and will require innovation: innovation in the discovery, extraction, and transportation of fossil fuels; innovation in conservation; and innovation to develop alternative energy sources which are reliable, cost-effective, safe, and environmentally benign.
"This project - which seeks to enhance our understanding of the effect of adding an increasing number of small-scale renewable electricity generating sources to the utility grid - further demonstrates the leadership role Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and New York state are taking to secure our global energy future. I applaud NYSTAR for its support of this vital research," added Jackson.
As people begin adopting small-scale renewable sources to power homes and businesses, problems in the utility grid could arise because these sources are likely to be connected at the local distribution level. "For example, I do not want my photovoltaic system's inverter to go off when my neighbor's central air conditioner comes on," said Nag Patibandla, director of Rensselaer's Center for Future Energy Systems (CFES). "We want to understand how the distribution grid functions at a high degree of renewable resources penetration."
Patibandla led New York's Distributed Generation program for five years before joining Rensselaer. For the new project, he and his colleagues plan to build a test system on the Rensselaer campus where they can attach a number of simulated renewable energy sources along with equipment that is susceptible to fluctuations in power output.
Examples of sensitive loads include high-power computer systems, light-emitting diodes (LEDs) in traffic lights, and wastewater treatment plants. Renewable energy sources are themselves inherently sensitive because they have inverters that convert direct current to alternating current, Patibandla said.
"The award to Rensselaer will enable it to strengthen its research and development activity in a critically important area of technology," said NYSTAR Executive Director Michael J. Relyea. "It is one of many initiatives reflecting the vision and leadership of Governor Pataki and the Legislature.
NYSTAR is thrilled to fund such economically worthwhile scientific endeavors at Rensselaer. The academic and private sector support that backs this important Rensselaer initiative on new energy systems is a testament to the incredible dynamic nature of research, development, and commercialization efforts ongoing at Rensselaer."
Researchers at the CFES will be partnering with Sensitron Semiconductor of Deer Park, NY; Inverters Unlimited Inc. of Albany, NY; and Advanced Energy Conversion of Malta, NY The project also will examine policy aspects of renewable resources penetration in partnership with the Pace Energy Project, part of Pace Law School's Center for Environmental Legal Studies.
"With growing concern over the security of our energy supply and its consequences for the global climate, energy is emerging as one of the defining public policy issue of our generation," said Pace Law School Dean Stephen Friedman.
"Pace is pleased to join with Rensselaer on this important initiative to define the technological, economic, and regulatory framework for supporting renewable energy and clean distributed generation as an ever-increasing part of our future energy mix."
The CFES, in partnership with Cornell University, Brookhaven National Laboratory, and Clarkson University, seeks to meet the energy challenges of the 21st century by focusing on innovation in and commercialization of energy conservation and renewable energy systems.
The new project will expand the current efforts in technology commercialization at CFES into the area of distributed power generation, or the use of small-scale generators located close to the power load being served. Specifically, the researchers will examine the stability and dynamic behavior of the electricity grid, the feasibility of installing distributed energy to counter-balance natural intermittency, and grid stability and power quality, Patibandla said.
The award is being made through NYSTAR's Centers for Advanced Technology Development Program, which seeks to enhance and expand the capabilities of existing Centers for Advanced Technology that have achieved a record of success.
In addition to Patibandla, two Rensselaer researchers will be co-principal investigators: Jian Sun, associate professor of electrical, computer, and systems engineering; and Nadarajah Narendran, director of research at Rensselaer's Lighting Research Center. The project also will support six Rensselaer graduate students.

Message:To everyone coming out to the dunes on saturday, try and be early, if you don't have a year long pass the rangers can get a little picky about letting too many people in, and no one wants to be left out.
Saturday is going to be HUGE!
To anyone showing up or worried about coming and not seeing us or something, let me tell you it's really hard to miss a large group of dakotas on the dunes!
I will be out there in my truck...maybe for the last time, so i plan on using that darn tow strap and maybe even cranking my torsion bars this week FINALLY!
Chris, have the camera all charged up for video, i'm feelin a little crazy for this
weekend (the days you have seen me are normal days, wait till you see me crazy!)
Bluedak - are you the two tone dakota that is always covered in mud at Cuesta?
If you can make it out on saturday that would be cool, i tend to go out to the dunes a lot and i know my way around pretty well.
DakotaChris - dude, you have to come!
We will have tow-straps and wenches galor so you can wheel and never worry about being left out there, plus i've never seen a cool 2WD dakota in person and i'm diein to see one!
THRASH1 - look forward to meetin you, i drive the Graphite SXT 4X4 CC when you get there.
Hope you guys all feel crazy too, i hate being the only dumb...opps...i mean, adventurous wheeler with lack of common sense and brain power out there.
Balls and guts can get you places, but nothing matches good old ignorance and youthful stupidity!

I will not be thrashin to much this trip.
I plan on getting allot of great video so I can start working on my Video project.
Plus I think I have a problem brewin in the front end.
Maybe CV joints or bearings or???
I am still trying to pin point where the noise is coming from but it is a rolling type of scraping I thought it was mud in the rotors or something but I have got ALL of the mud off and I still get the noise.
Sounds like front Right side.
I am gonna get the book out and see what kind of checks to do to check the CV joints and stuff.
Hopefully it is nothing bad.
I can not get it to the Mech til next week.
Can't wait to meet up with new Dakota owners.
I will have lots of Video time to capture.
I will still have fun too.
But no Air contest with Arthur!

Former financier Stanford reports memory loss
by
Patsy R. Brumfield/NEMS Daily Journal
Djournal.Com
5 months ago | 587 views | 0  | 7  |  |
Allen Stanford reportedly says his memory is gone, the Wall Street Journal reported Friday.Stanford, the former Texas financier, says he cannot remember events prior to his arrest in June 2009, the WSJ quotes a person close to the case.Last January, US District Judge David Hittner in Texas ordered Stanford to medical treatment for an addiction to anti-psychotic medications he'd been prescribed in prison.Hittner declared Stanford incompetent to help with his own defense and postponed his criminal trial on multiple charges that he ran a $7.2 billion Ponzi scheme on investors.The Dallas judge expects a report soon about Stanford's current mental condition.Hundreds of Mississippians were among the 30,000 investors worldwide who lost their life savings and retirement funds when the Stanford empire collapsed in 2009 under the weight of a US Securities and Exchange Commission investigation.Friday's WSJ report also says the US Department of Justice is investigating whether French bank Societe Generale helped Stanford's investor scheme by ignoring suspicious transactions.At issue is a Swiss bank account held by one of Stanford's companies at the bank's subsidiary. The account was allegedly funded by investor money and used to make payments into Stanford's personal accounts.If DOJ concludes that the bank ignored potential criminal activity, the report said, that could be the basis for prosecution under federal anti-money laundering statutes.WSJ said the probe shows that after more than two years investigators still are trying to unravel the global fraud alleged by Stanford and associates.Prosecutors say Stanford's "secret account" was accessed only by him and James Davis, his former chief financial officer from Baldwyn.Davis pleaded guilty to his part in the scheme in the fall of 2009 and has been helping the government with its case. He's been living on his wife's family farm in Michigan ever since.patsy.brumfield@journalinc.com

Finals pain before success
August 22nd 2006 05:29
After seven consecutive wins, the Fremantle Dockers are being talked up as legitimate premiership contenders.
Some commentators of the game are even going as far to suggest that a Dockers flag in 2006 isn't out of the realms of possibility, and while this a romantic notion it isn't necessarily in lines with reality.
History suggests that a side needs to experience finals pain before they can genuinely contend for the premiership.
The Dockers cross-town rivals West Coast fell short at the last hurdle in 1991 against Hawthorn, but bounced back the next season to claim the first of two premierships in three years for the club.
Even Brisbane, regarded by many as the greatest side of the modern era played five finals from 1999 to 2000 before claiming the first of three flags in 2001.
Compare this with Fremantle who have played one final since their inception in 1995- a 44-point loss to Essendon at Subiaco in 2003, and you can see why any talk of
a Docker premiership is premature.
One only has to ask the likes of Port Adelaide, Sydney or St Kilda to find out how hard it is to win a premiership.
Consider this, the Power played seven finals from 2001-03 and were arguably the best side in the competition during the season proper, having collected three straight minor premierships from 2002-04, but didn't snag their first flag until '04.
The Saints would have to join Port as the most unlucky side of the modern era.
The men from Moorabbin haven't tasted premiership success since 1966, and have lost consecutive preliminary finals to the Power and Sydney respectively.
One would suggest that the premiership window has closed on the Saints.
Even last year's premiers have fallen short in recent years prior to their success of 2005.
The Swans lost a preliminary final to eventual premiers Brisbane in 2003, after being right in the match at three-quarter time and seemingly having the Lions on the rope.
Sydney experienced more pain in '04 when they were comprehensively beaten by the Saints to the tune of 61 points in a semi-final.
Would you have predicted the Swans to come out the following season and capture the flag?
Probably not, but it's clear that they were better for the experience.
Experience is the key, something which Fremantle lacks, with only skipper Peter Bell,hard-man Josh Carr, Jarrad Schofield and former Lion Des Headland tasting premiership success
Adding further weight to the lack of experience argument is the fact that the three players in the Fremantle squad to have played the most finals have done so with other clubs, Jarrad Schofield (17) with Port Adelaide, Peter Bell (16) with the Kangaroos and Dockers and Jeff Farmer (7) with Melbourne and Freo.
Thus any talk of a Fremantle premiership is all too premature. Let them win a final first and see where it takes them.
Remember, finals pain before premiership gain.
