"The McKillips were a sept of the McDonnell of Keppoch Clan. They were

probably Roman Catholic, and opposed to the Henry VIII line of rulers.

Both the McKillip and McDonnell warriors fought in the “45” to return

Bonney Prince Charles to the thorne. This is from the McCaleb family, Vol.

1, part 1, page 9, item, 5, by Katie McCaleb Headley. William also fought

at the Battle of Preston Moor.

>From Dr. James McCaleb of Carlisle, Mississippi wrote to Miss Ella MCaCaleb

of the Pennsyvlania McCalebs: “Four brothers came together from Scotland

by way of Dublin, Ireland. They landed on the Carolina Coast. One of

these brothers was married to Sarah McAlpin, daughter of the Highland Chief

McAlpin, and they settled in South Carolina. One of these brothers went

West and married an Indian woman, and one remained in North Carolina. One

brother settled in the Connellsville Basin (Fayette County), Pennsylvania.”

Most McCaleb families claim kinship with Robert Bruce and the Stuarts of

England."

'The Flushing Friends Quaker Meeting House was built in 1694 as a small frame structure on land acquired in 1692 by John Bowne and John Rodman in Flushing, New York. The first recorded meeting held there was on November 24, 1694. This original structure is now the easterly third of the current structure, which was expanded 1716-1719." 

The Quakers continued to meet in secret in the woods until John Bowne offered his home for meetings. 

Bowne was banished to Holland for refusing to pay the fine, but returned two years later to combat the persecution that the Quakers faced. The group drafted the Flushing Remonstrance and in Holland, Bowne pleaded before the Dutch West India Company to  

honor the cause of religious freedom, 

 and a letter was written in 1663 to Governor Stuyvesant to end the persecution of Quakers."

Ellis: Boyle said early on he was supportive of this campaign, but that’s really changed six months later. He said he backed the campaign because he thought it would do two things: A) Help people living on the streets who were in a clear crisis, and B) Pick up the trash. And look at THOSE BOOTS! Ca-ching" 

(achoo) 

"Tim Boyle: Being angry doesn’t help. What I want to see happen is that the issue around the treatment of homeless individuals in the city is improved, and that the trash is picked up. So that’s my focus. I’ve seen, so far, neither of those things have happened."

Memphis Army Depot, chemicals

 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memphis_Defense_Depot

"Operations at the depot began in January 1942, when the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers officially activated the site as the Memphis General Depot. The depot provided supplies including clothing, food, medical supplies, electronic equipment, petroleum products, and industrial chemicals. It had 130 buildings and over 4,000,000 square feet (370,000 m2) of indoor storage.[1]

Eventually, the disposal of chemicals began at the site. This included the disposal of leaking mustard bombs at Dunn Field, a field located on the property. From 1942 until 1962 the installation performed Army supply and was known variously as the Memphis Quartermaster Depot, Memphis Army Service Forces Depot, and the Memphis General Depot.[1]

In 1992, the 632-acre base was placed on the list of Superfund sites maintained by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) because "chemicals from the wastes that were released on site resulted in contaminated soil, groundwater, surface water, and sediment."[2] According to the EPA, significant cleanup has been achieved.[2]

In 1995, the depot was placed on the closure list of the 1995 Base Realignment and Closure Commission and on September 30, 1997, it was closed. Since that year, 94% of the facilities have been returned to public use. Part of the depot has also been reused as the Memphis Depot Business Park."

"The Depot Redevelopment Authority managed the property for Memphis and Shelby County, and sold most of the property to Mayfield Properties for $35.6 million in 2011. 

Memphis and Shelby County evenly split the sale's net proceeds — $24.4 million — in 2012."

Sam Wheeler, misogynistic liar

 

 'I’m stepping away to look after my health, period,” Adams, 59, said in his first interview since resigning Tuesday. 

"The only person who put their foot down and said I had to leave my job was my husband.”

_____ 

"the city’s most influential business lobbying group, Portland Business Alliance, praised Adams for the work he accomplished."

"There’s no question that Sam Adams’ tenure in the mayor’s office made a positive impact,” said Jon Isaacs, the group’s vice president for public affairs. 

("At least seven city employees complained to the mayor’s office or human resources about Adams’ conduct — 

 particularly toward women)

"Adams leaves with  

a city aligned behind a clear plan  

to end unsanctioned camping, incentivize the production of thousands of units of badly needed housing and  

improved strategies for taming our city’s rise in crime.”

____

After his departure, Wheeler issued a statement praising Adams as “a hard worker with a strong vision for Portland.” 

"This was one of the most unprofessional experiences I’ve had, not just at the city, but in my career,” an employee in the city attorney’s office wrote. '

He earned $154,000 a year. 

Complaints against Adams provided by the city stretch back to August 2021, 

 just six months after the former mayor returned to City Hall.

"In a nutshell, busking and begging may be alike for that they both solicit donations in public space, but at the same time busking should be distinguishable from begging in that it additionally provides performance and entertainment which have the potential to make public space more favorable.Dec 2, 2021"

_____

"Street performing is legally considered to be artistic free speech and is protected, just as is panhandling or begging."

_____ 

"Subsistence strategies such as panhandling (begging for money, food or other items), busking (providing entertainment for money), and squeegeeing (washing car windshields for money) are 

 informal economic activities commonly associated with homelessness" 

_____ 

"Performances are anything that people find entertaining, including acrobatics, animal tricks, balloon twisting, caricatures, clowning, comedy, contortions, escapology, dance, singing, fire skills, flea circus, fortune-telling, juggling, magic, mime, living statue, musical performance, puppeteering, snake charming, storytelling or reciting poetry or prose, street art such as sketching and painting, street theatre, sword swallowing, ventriloquism and washboarding. "

"Some of the bands that performed in this manner were Janis Joplin with Big Brother and the Holding Company, the Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, Quicksilver Messenger Service, Country Joe and the Fish, Moby Grape and Jimi Hendrix. "

"Joshua Bell, a noted classical violinist, posed as a busker in the L'Enfant Plaza Metro station in Washington, D.C. at rush hour in 2007, as part of a feature in The Washington Post.  

In the 45 minutes that Bell played, only seven people out of over a thousand who passed by stopped to watch, and he took in just over $32. 

 Gene Weingarten later won a Pulitzer Prize for the story."

Al Bloodgood NFL

  

Bloodgood made his professional debut in the NFL playing two years with the Kansas City Cowboys in 1925-1926.  

On December 12, 1926 against the Duluth Eskimos he tied an NFL record (with Paddy Driscoll) of  

4 drop-kicked field goals in a single game. 

 The drop kick is significantly more difficult; as Jim Thorpe once explained, "I regard the place kick as almost two to one safer than the drop kick in attempting a goal from the field."

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Bloodgood

____ 

 

"In both American and Canadian football, one method of scoring a field goal, fair-catch kick (American Football only), or extra point is by drop-kicking the football through the goal, although the technique is very rarely used in modern play."  

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drop_kick#American_and_Canadian_(gridiron)_football 

the only successful drop kick in the NFL since 1941 was by Doug Flutie, the backup quarterback of the New England Patriots, against the Miami Dolphins on January 1, 2006, for an extra point after a touchdown. 

 Flutie had estimated "an 80 percent chance" of making the drop kick,  which was called to give Flutie, 43 at the time, the opportunity to make a historic kick in his final NFL game;  

the drop kick was his last play in the NFL.

         *.    

On October 24, 2020, Iowa State University backup punter Corey Dunn attempted a surprise on-side drop kick off against Oklahoma State University.  

It was nearly successful as the Cowboys failed to cleanly field the kick, but Oklahoma State recovered the ball in the ensuing scrum.
