Got a digital camera? Not sure what format to save your images in once downloaded to the computer? Here is a short guide to help you GIF: (Graphics Interchange Format) This format has a maximum number of 256 colors (but it can "dither" which means mix two colors together to give the impression of another color). GIF is a "lossless" format, meaning it doesn't get blurry or lose sharpness. It's a great format for drawings, clip-art, icons, and such, but it's a very poor format (because of the limitation of colors) for photographs of digital photography. GIF is the most popular image type on the Web. More GIFs are used on Web sites than any other image formats. GIFs can be made transparent and can be animated as well. JPG: (Joint Photographic Expert Group) The JPG format uses compression that reduces image file size by reducing the amount of detail contained in the image. Images with fewer details compress extremely well, while pictures with a lot of detail do not compress as well and will suffer some degradation. The amount of compression allowed (and hence the amount of details lost) can be controlled in most image editing application. Because JPEG/JPG can display millions of colors and because it has the smallest file size of all, it is the best choice for detailed images and photographs which you want to send via email or use on the Web. JPG/JPEG is the second most popular image format in use on the Web today. BMP: The Windows Bitmap file format is the standard file format used by Microsoft Windows. Bitmap files can contain either 2 (black and white), 16, 256 or 16.7 million colors. Most Windows Bitmap files are not compressed. It is possible to save 16 and 256 color images in a compressed format. BMP files are very large and the image quality is not noticeably different from a JPG/JPEG file that is not compressed too much. Since both BMP and JPG/JPEG can display millions of colors, for most uses you'd be better off with JPG/JPEG since the file size (Kilobytes) is much smaller. You rarely see BMP format in use on the Web simply because the file size is large and would take too long to download in a browser. Never save in this format if you intend to use your images on the Web or send them by email. They're far too large of files (kb) and take too long to send or load on Web pages. PNG: ( Portable Network Graphics) PNG was invented to replace the GIF format. But so far it has not done so. It is in use on the Web and is increasing in popularity. For image editing, either professional or otherwise, PNG provides a useful format for the storage of intermediate stages of editing. Since PNG's compression is fully lossless--and since it supports up to 48-bit true color or 16-bit grayscale--saving, restoring and re-saving an image will not degrade its quality, unlike standard JPEG (even at its highest quality settings). For transmission of finished true color images--especially photographic ones--JPEG/JPG is almost always a better choice. Although JPEG's compression can introduce some degradation in quality, this can be minimized, and the savings in file size even at high quality levels is much better than is generally possible with a lossless format like PNG or GIF. We use a lot of PNG format on our Web sites and newsletters since they can be made smaller (file size) and still look nice and clear. There are other formats such as TIF,TGA, ICO, and many others. The four listed above are by far the most common ones. --------------------------------------------- Starting Up With A Shift - Troubleshooting Windows Startup Windows XP Home, Media, and Professional If you are having problems with Windows XP and want to start your computer without loading all the startup programs that normally open with Windows - this tip is for you. Using this method, can help you troubleshoot startup programs which may be causing your Windows startup to "hang" or take longer than it should. And using this tip will also disable malicious programs from loading as well. You could use WinPatrol (or MSCONFIG) to disable startup programs, but using this tip is quick way for you to see if, in fact, it is a program being loaded at Windows startup that is causing your problems. This tip was mentioned in a Microsoft article (read the entire article here http://tinyurl.com/ywcvec ) called "Troubleshooting the Startup Process". The gist of this article is this: Simply hold down the Shift key while booting your machine. Doing this disables programs set to load at Windows startup from the following locations: C\Documents and Settings\Username\Start Menu\Programs\Startup C\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup C\Windows\Profiles\Username\Start Menu\Programs\Startup C\Windows\Profiles\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup But hold on there! This is important! In order for this to work, you have to continue to hold down the Shift key until ALL your desktop program icons have appeared. Another plus: This tip is a great way to make your computer boot faster because Windows will not load all the programs that it normally would load in the background at Windows Startup. However, if you need to use one of the programs that normally start with Windows, you will have to start it manually. ------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi Mike I don't know if you were referring to the post I sent to the 'Hampshire Life' or not; I was answering the original request by Chris & Caroline regarding burning ricks, but "it got a little out of hand", (too much information). Instead of just a short reply I took the opportunity to show my connection in Australia to the Hampshire Life list. All the information I posted is held in the notes section of my PAF-5 program and is easy to cut and paste. However, it is only half of the story, the remainder is about Thomas's life in Australia; I didn't publish that part as I felt it wasn't relevant to the "burning of the Hay Rick story". I actually have photos of sketches of the burning and a few others if anyone is interested.

Hi Chris Firing a stack could refer to the firing of the hayricks during the great Agricultural riots of south and east of England. I have a great grandfather who was involved convicted and deported to Port Jackson Australia in 1830's, The details of his crime are listed below:- (We hope you bear with us as the information below is lengthy but only part of the total so if your friend wants I can give them the whole Kit & Caboodle including copies of photos of etchings of an early 'Winchester Jail' and hayrick burnings etc). Our Thomas Neale was transported to Australia for his involvement in the Agricultural swing Riots of England in the 1830's. BACKGROUND TO THE SWING RIOTS The great agricultural uprising of 1830-31; this episode touched thirty counties in the south and east of England & has been called the last peasants revolt A look into the 1830 riots as a whole, gives a good insight into what life would have resembled for a labourer such as Thomas Neale in a small farming village in England during the early 1800's. The 1830's saw a three tiered pyramid permanently in place within the social and economic life of a typical village of the southern English counties. At the top sat the land owners who directly and indirectly shaped the way of life for those beneath them. Second was the tenant farmers, on the bottom rung came the labourers. The tenant farmers had their rents pegged at an annual amount rather than a percentage of the harvest profits. A good harvest resulted in the land owner raising the tenant's tithe the following annum as a consequence of the Church imposed Tithe, but neglecting to compensate on subsequent poor harvests. The tenant farmers made ends meet by reducing costs of labour either by cutting pay rates or introducing labour saving devices such as threshing machines or chaff cutters, the labourers such as Thomas Neale and others being the ultimate losers in the hierarchy. The Church Tithes So by 1830 it had become common practice for the Church to collect tithes in money, at an agreed exchange rate equivalent to the value of the produce that would otherwise be due, or for them to sell the rights to 'farm the tithes' to the highest bidder. But this sum tended to become fixed over a period of time, and did not reflect the natural fluctuations of good and lean years. Thus after two poor harvests in 1829 and 1830, farmers found they still had to hand over the same amount of money to the tithe-holder as in a good year, even though they had less produce to sell in order to pay for it. Labourers rarely had steady employment, relying on ploughing and crop gathering seasons, being paid on a daily or weekly basis by the farmers. In between the seasons they were left to fend for themselves, many forced to rely on Parish Relief during the long periods of unemployment. Crop prices had been steadily falling in the years up to 1830 thus putting enormous pressure on the farmers and more so, the labourers. Many farmers turned to agricultural machinery to cut operating costs. Three bad harvests in a row by 1830 and the winter of 1830 being abnormally severe heightened the labourers' anger and frustration. Doomed to poverty, starvation being imminent for many labourers and their families, it is accepted that this triggered the 1830's riots. The protest occurred over many southern counties and widely varied in the course of action taken. The most common form of protest of outrage a large number, sometimes hundreds, of labourers would gather together in a village and head off to a pre-targeted farm. Usually an appointed spokesman for the group would demand some amount of monetary compensation. Refusal to pay led to threats of violence and invariably the money was paid. If the farm possessed a threshing machine, chaff cutter, or other labour saving device, it was unduly destroyed. The least common, but best known, form of outrage was the "Swing Letter" a message threatening severe violence unless money was paid or wages were raised or machines dismantled. The letters were signed "Captain Swing" (an analogy derived from the Irish protests led by Captain Rock), hence the name the "Swing Rioters". Captain Swing was a mythical figure and it is said that the name also related to the 'swing' (a moving part) of the flail used to thresh harvested grain. In general the riots were non-violent though clearly threatening, however low level violence did occur when the farmers or their men tried to prevent machinery or property from being destroyed. THE TRIAL VENUE; - WINCHESTER 18/12/1830. THE OFFENCE Thomas Neale, George Carter, George Hopgood and Robert Cook were charged with having, on 21st of November 1830, at the Parish if Vernhams Dean riotously assembled together with other persons to the number of about seventy. Feloniously made an assault on Mary Sergeant, and put her in bodily fear, they stole from her two sovereigns being the current coin of the realm, her property. Reports of the Trial proceedings show that the riot did get a little out of hand with many threats of violence being flung around along with rocks and other missiles. Special constables had also arrived at the scene resulting in many physical altercations as they tried to make arrests. THE SENTENCE The prisoners pleaded 'not guilty', The Jury returned a verdict of 'Guilty against the four prisoners. Sentencing after the guilty findings of some 70 swing rioters was enacted on Tuesday 30/12/1830. Mr. Baron Vaughn who concluded his summary by condemning 3 men (Ring Leaders) to death, saying, I have now only to pass upon all three of you the dreadful sentence of the law. I hope you will earnestly repent your sins - that you will make a full confession of your transgressions, and do all what you can to procure reconciliation from the above. He then passed the death sentence in the usual form. The remaining prisoners who had been capitally convicted were placed in the dock, in-groups of 20 some had a death sentence recorded against them. But it is understood that this will be commuted to varying degrees of punishment depending on the circumstances of each case. The other prisoners including Thomas Neale were told that their lives would be spared but they would not be allowed to remain in England. Thomas Neale was convicted and sentenced to death, later commuted to 14 years transportation to Australia for his involvement in the so-called 'Swing Riots' in southern England in the early 1830's Warrant dated 30/11/1830 Hulk Details; - Thomas Neale received 1/1/1831 on board the prison hulk 'York' at Portsmouth, from Winchester Goal, Age 20 years; - On 9/2/1831 he was put aboard Eleanor for transportation to NSW. the "Eleanor". Departed Portsmouth, England 19/2/1831 Arrived in Port Jackson 26/6/1831. The Convicts of the Eleanor were all from the counties of Berkshire, Dorset, Hampshire and Wiltshire MORE BACKGROUND The first of the rioters arrested received lenient sentences. Some were released due to the ordinary evidence posed against them, many received one to two months imprisonment or a very young offender may have received just a warning, but as the riots escalated the British Authorities took a harsher stance. >From November 1830 to early January 1831 some 2000 rioters were arrested. In December and the following January punishments handed down had changed dramatically, to that of transportation for life, fourteen or seven years, or the ultimate penalty, the death sentence. Appalling as it may seem, one theory posed by historians is the Government may have seen it as an opportunity to get skilled persons over to the newly established colony, Australia, as their emigration incentive schemes were failing. By late January 1831 the riots had subsided and so did the deliberations handed down to the accused. Most of the rioters sentenced to death, upon petitioning by their families and village folk, had their sentence reprieved to transportation. It was evident that the Machine Breakers were devastated by the severe penalties they received. It was relatively a non-violent form of protest and they may have anticipated only a token punishment for their involvement. Consideration to us to see whether we could distinguish between your cases and that of the others; at the same time, it was most dreadful to contemplate such an effusion of human blood and sacrifice of life taking place. We therefore determined to recommend you to His Majesty's royal consideration and mercy. [King William IV]. The sentence of death will be recorded against you, instead of being formerly passed, the meaning of which is, that your lives will certainly be spared, but on what terms, it is for His Majesty to determine, and not for us; yet, undoubtedly, severe punishments will be carried into execution against several of you. Public Justice would not be satisfied without that being done, and the peace of the country and the protection of the property of peaceable individuals require it. I therefore hope and trust that you will be grateful for your lives being spared, and that in whatever situation you may hereafter be placed, whether part of the whole of your lives shall be spent in another country, you will conduct yourselves as honest industrious persons, and endeavour to secure your own peace of mind and the mercy of God, which will render you worthy of his acceptance whenever it may please him to call you from this world". Minor participants in the riot received sentences from 18 months imprisonment to transportation of 7 years depending on the evidence against them and their character references. Three main offenders in the riot received the death sentence with no reprieve. Fortunately for Thomas (and his descendants!) the final punishment handed down to him was transportation to Australia for 14 Years. Most of the Swing prisoners' sentenced to transportation; their first port of call was one of the Prison Hulks on permanent moorings at the port of departure. Here they were held for days to months awaiting allocation to a ship. Thomas was received from Winchester Goal aboard the Hulk "York" at the port of Portsmouth on the 9th February1831. THE VOYAGE The Swing Rioters or Machine Breakers came out to Australia aboard three vessels: 136 rioters on the "Eleanor" to New South Wales, 224 on the "Eliza" and 98 aboard the "Proteus". Both to Van Diemen's land (VDL - Old name for Tasmania by Able TASMAN after Anthony Van DIEMEN 1593 - 1645 Governor of Java). A total of more than 480 people were sent to Australia, the largest single group in the history of transportation. The men of the "Eleanor" made up 30% of the "Swing Transportees". INFORMATION OF INTEREST The Machine Breakers were viewed differently from that of common criminals, in that the authorities and the public thought they were generally decent men, They were "Men of Honest Principle", skilled and hard working, whose crime was to try to get better working conditions. During the voyage they were not required to wear the normal convict garb, and were not under lock and key at all times, being given free access of the ship frequently. Ominously, however, the "Eleanor's" list of stores unloaded included sets of leg irons, which were recorded as having been used during the voyage. ARRIVAL IN NSW By 1831 the Assignment System for handling the arrival of convicts was in place. This system involved the convicts, upon their arrival, being assigned to land owners, farmers and businessmen, who undertook to clothe and feed their assignee to a regulated standard. It was felt that under this system the convicts could immediately start making a contribution to the essentially rural colony. The Government's Public Works Department always took first pick of any new convicts; the remainder was then allocated to the public. The Machine Breakers were highly sought after due to their agricultural skills and experience, as compared to the common unskilled convict from the city slums. They were so good a catch in fact, that it is documented the farming community had already earmarked which Machine Breakers they required before they had even arrived in Port Jackson. The Machine Breakers were not your average convicts they were protestors, not criminals and were less likely to re-offend. Skilled and experience convicts would offer a far greater contribution to society than the common criminal, and were therefore more likely to do well in the future.

Dear Jayne, whilst any mis-spelling is possible, as you are probably aware all three are separate family names coming from different sources: HASSELL from Hassall in Cheshire (except of course for Swedish immigrants), and they mainly come from around there, though there were some in Berks. and Dorset (can't find them in Hants.). VASSELL from vassal, French servant (once a forename), quite rare (again, can't find them in Hants.) WASSELL, originally Wastel, a wastel-monger (seller of cakes or bread made from the finest flour), concentrated in S. Staffs., some in Hants. (inc. I.o.W.) [as WASSAL at Lymington; as WASSEL at Botley, Droxford, Fareham; as WASSELL at Alverstoke, Bishops Waltham, Exton, Fareham, Headbourne Worthy, Lymington, Meonstoke, Portsea, Southwick, Titchfield, Wickham, Wymering; and as WASTELL at Petersfield] and Bucks. Regards, David

Dear David: Thank you for your very helpful information on WASSELL and HASSELL. VASSELL, VASSALL is of London as Judith VASSALL, VASSELL, who is mistakenly credited with marrying my ancestor, John PERRY, was the daughter of John VASSALL, VASSELL, "an alderman of London, who had gained high reputation for exertions in organizing resistance to the Spanish Armada, 1588. Source: James Savage, Genealogical Dictioinary of New England Settlers, Vol. IV, p. 367." I have a lot of information on VASSELLs who did come from Caen, Normandy, France to England. They are a very interesting family so I am sorry I do not seem to be descended from them.

Dear List: I am researching a long-ago ancestor named John PERRY who was born about 1578 and died 1622. Some people think he married Judith VASSEL about 1600, but that seems unlikely since her father's will mentioned John FREEBORNE as his son-in-law, and there is no possibility that John PERRY married Judith VASSEL before or after John FREEBORNE married her. I have found a couple of items at WorldVitalRecords that involve a PERRY and a WASSELL or a HASSELL. These items are: 5 Oct 1654 By Mr. Granger. Thomas Heath & Joan Perry. John Hassell, Edward Joans, wit. 15 Apr 1707 Hampshire Parish Registers, Vol. 15, p.8, John Perry & Mary Wassell,lic. 156. I am not asking about the specific persons mentioned in these two items. I have copied them into this email only to show that PERRYs and WASSELLs and HASSELLs have all lived in Hampshire, England and to suggest that John PERRY may have married a WASSELL or a HASSELL instead of a VASSELL and the difference of one letter, W or H instead of V, may explain the error in the name of his wife. His wife's first name was probably Judith, however. Does anyone have any information about WASSELLs and HASSELLs in Hampshire in the latter part of the 16th century and first half of the 17th century, particularly in the Farnborough area and in concert with PERRY information? My ancestor was supposedly a clergyman in Farnborough. St. Peter's in Farnborough has emailed me, however, that his name is not among those who have ever served at that church. Thank you very much for your attention.
