More New England African American Stories Uncovered
Part of what makes African American research in New England so fascinating is that it has been hidden for so long. People don't associate New England with generations upon generations of African American history. But African Americans have been in New England since the 1600s. One of my goals is to ensure that it stays hidden no longer.
With that in mind, there are three recent stories of New England African American research that are not only interesting but provide real insight into the complexity of life for early African Americans.
The first two appear in the current issue (Fall 2010) of American Ancestors published by the New England Historic Genealogical Society (NEHGS).
In an article (p. 41) called "Chance Bradstreet (1762-1810), Servant of Abraham Dodge of Ipswich, Massachusetts", Christopher Challender Child remarks how he saw an exhibit at the Smithsonian National Museum of American History that mentioned the slave, Chance. However, the exhibit only had information on Chance between 1777 and 1789. Child took it as a personal challenge to re-discover the remaining details of Chance's life. The fascinating article details his discoveries.
Further on in the same issue be sure to stop and read Diane Rapaport's article "Freeing Joan Jackson: The Precarious Status of a New England Woman." (p.51) This incredulous tale demonstrates one African American family's struggle to remain together and to retain their freedom. The article explores the extremely complex issues surrounding emancipation in Massachusetts in the 1780s.
Lastly is an article that appeared in the New Canaan Patch (CT) entitled "Hidden History: The Last Slave of Connecticut" (17 November 2010) which you can read online. It tells the story of Onesimus Comstock who was born into slavery in 1761 and how he became the last slave of Connecticut. This article discusses the same time frame as the other two but touches on the disenfranchisement and limited options available to slaves once they attained their freedom.
All three articles provide important insight into the lives of early African Americans in New England. Together they illustrate and reveal the complexities of what it meant to be African American in the 18th century.

Marian, since it is near Thanksgiving I have been thinking all week about Abraham Pearce. Is there any recent research to confirm or deny that he was of African descent? He would have been one of the earliest African Americans in the Plymouth Colony. Dolor Davis, my 10x great grandfather, described him as "Negro". I hope you don't think of this as off topic.ReplyDelete
Heather - not off topic at all. I really can't answer your question which is of course a very interesting one.ReplyDelete
There is some interesting discussion here: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/secret/june/april12.html
What I do not understand is that they list a year of death for Chance, but where did he die? Are there any records?ReplyDeleteReplies
I emailed the author and he said that Chance died in Marblehead, Massachusetts. There may be some records related to the working house in Marblehead.Delete

The world is edging closer to an ecological calamity in the Amazon. Threats to the rainforest include logging, cattle ranching, soya plantations and of course climate change.
That's why the Rainbow Warrior is there now, and why today we are launching an international solidarity campaign to stand with the Brazilian people to save the Amazon. Join us and follow the ship!
Today, on board the Rainbow Warrior in the Amazon, Greenpeace campaigners joined Brazilian civil society and community leaders in the launch (live stream) of a formal petition to Brazil's President for a Zero Deforestation law. The ambitious initiative will seek 1.4 million signatures from Brazilians at home and abroad for a law to end Amazon destruction.
From the heart of the Amazon, Manaus, the Rainbow Warrior will journey down the majestic river to the Brazilian coast before making its way to Rio de Janeiro. There, the global spotlight will be cast on President Dilma, as she hosts the UN Conference on Sustainable Development 20 years after the watershed Rio Summit of 1992.
The expedition will highlight the beauty and importance of protecting the rainforest, expose those responsible for its destruction and champion the solutions needed to achieve zero deforestation in Brazil.
Please sign up on our Amazon homepage to journey with us, and support the people of Brazil campaigning to save the Amazon.
Greenpeace supporters around the world have written to the Brazilian President against a reckless new Forest Code law. If passed, it would spell disaster for the Amazon, including the people and the wildlife that depend on it. It is still looming in the wings, with a vote to pass the law in the Brazilian Congress having been delayed time and time again.
That struggle isn't over yet, and you can still write to President Dilma if you haven't already.
Today marks the beginning of an initiative that's not only protesting regressive change like the new Forest Code, but pushing for a hopeful, ambitious new law to save the Amazon for all. Brazil needs a strong legal framework to make sure they continue to reduce deforestation.
The Amazon Basin covers an area of approximately 6.5 million sq kilometers, comprising five percent of the Earth's surface. It harbors the largest river system on the planet, about one-fifth of the total volume of fresh water of the world.
The combined effects of deforestation and climate change on the Amazon threaten to push it towards a tipping point, where it will change into savannah by the end of this century.
Join us and help save the Amazon!

I wish you well. Just returned from 3 months in Brasil. Nowhere near the Amazon (Nearest was Natal) but constantly on the news - apart from corruption trials for politicians everywhere in the country - were depressing stories of deforestation AND more worryingly the brutal killings of activists. Please be very careful and watch your back. It is like the Wild West in parts of the country as the police have their own agendas and are entirely capable of supporting whoever pays them the most.

How to Set Up a Business the Quicken 2013 Way
To use Quicken 2013 for small business bookkeeping, you need to describe each business you or your spouse operates. For example, if you work as a one-person consultant, and your spouse runs a landscape design business, you need to tell Quicken a little bit about both businesses. Quicken needs this information so it can separately track each business and can produce invoices for each business.
To describe your business to Quicken, you need to give the business's name and identify the owner. Here's how you do this:
1Choose the Manage Business Information command.
Display the Business tab, click the Business Tools button, and choose the Manage Business Information command. Quicken displays the Manage Business Information window.
If you don't have a Business tab, either you need to choose View→Standard Menus or you need to choose Help→Add Business Tools.
3Enter your firm's name in the Business Name text box.
Optionally, you can also enter a brief description in the Description box, which appears just below the Business Name text box.
4Identify the business owner.
Use the Owner option buttons, Self and Spouse, to indicate who owns the business — you or your better half.
5Create a tag for the business.
You want the tag to be a memorable yet short acronym or abbreviation you can use to mark transactions as connected to a particular business. For example, say your family does operate two businesses: a consulting business and a landscape design business. You might use the tags Cons (for consulting) and Land (for landscape design).
6(Optional) Specify this business is the default business.
You can tell Quicken that a particular business is the default business — in other words, that Quicken should assume a business transaction relates to this business unless you tell Quicken otherwise. To do this, check the Business Transactions Without a Tag Belong to This Business box.
7Save your business description.
Quicken returns you to the Manage Business Information window, which now lists your newly described business venture. If you need to add more businesses, repeat Steps 2–7. Click Done to close the Manage Business Information window.
The Manage Business Information window provides two other useful buttons: Delete and Edit. You can click the Delete button to remove the selected business description. And you can click the Edit button to display the Edit Business dialog box, which allows you to change the selected business's description.

This is probably going to get me in trouble with my friends who love the 49ers, but I gotta say Richard Sherman of the Seattle Seahawks is far and away my new NFL favorite.
You might know Sherman as the dread-locked mad man who made a bold statement Sunday night on national TV following his team's 23-17 pasting of the Niners in the NFC Championship.
You won't know him if you:
1) live in a cave;
2) don't follow football; or
3) are dead.
So if you don't know what he said. Here's a transcription (courtesy of the Washington Post):
"I'm the best corner in the game! When you try me with a sorry receiver like (Michael) Crabtree, that's the result you're going to get. Don't you ever talk about me."
When Fox sideline reporter Erin Andrews asked him to expand on his remarks, Sherman went off again: "Crabtree. Don't you open your mouth about the best, or I'll shut it for you real quick. LOB."
That last part — LOB — stands for "Legion of Boom."
Call Sherman's outburst what you will, but I'm going to say it was a more tasteful version of Miley Cyrus' twerking with midgets at the MTV Awards and perhaps more effective.
The former Disney star's antics got her lame "Wrecking Ball" video some attention and probably earned her a few more Twitter followers.
In the same vein, Sherman's outburst will fill the void on sports talk radio between now and the Pro Bowl on Sunday. Because that game is already a bust. And the use of "Richard Sherman" as SEO will rise over the next couple of weeks.
That's admittedly cynical, but there's an element of that in the hype.
But it's not everything that we saw. A huge part of my defense of Sherman here comes from the raw emotion he displayed while still bathed in the thrill of a huge victory. His quotes were a far more honest assessment of the game than standard sideline cliches like (take your pick):
"The Niners are better than the score";
"We just took care of the football out there today";
"Crabtree is a dangerous deep threat";
"They are capable of the big play";
"We had to stop the big play";
"We stuck to our game plan"; or
"I'm just happy to be here and glad I was able to help our ballclub."
Listen. We've all heard those lame quotes once or twice. So why name-call a guy who is excited to be going to the Super Bowl? And believe me there's been tons of name-calling over this one. It misses the point and gives ammo to coaches and players who toss platitudes all day.
For the record, this guy is no thug. He's a role model. He's a Stanford grad, an All-Pro and a guy who finished second in his high school class. He's the man we all want our sons to be.
I liken Sherman's post-game interview to those entertaining WWE pitches I've seen since childhood. You know the ones were the Hulkster calls out the Undertaker and Ric Flair? That's fun.
If you don't like it, root for the Broncos and Peyton Manning.

Madrid, San Sebastian, La Rioja, Bilbao, Barcelona
This tour is dedicated to the superlative food, wine, art and architecture of Spain, focusing on the areas most renowned for their art and gastronomy: Madrid, Barcelona, the Basque Country and La Rioja.
Begin in aristocratic Madrid, the Spanish capital and home to one of the most important art collections in the world. During flexible private art touring, visit a number of world-class museums and galleries, according to your preferences. Options include the masterpieces of the Prado Museum—including Velazquez's Las Meninas and Goya's El Tres de Mayo—and the Reina Sofia National Museum, home of Picasso's magnum opus, Guérnica. Other options include the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum, CaixaForum, and art-filled churches. Also explore the city's elegant squares, stately Habsburg architecture, leafy boulevards and narrow backstreets, and perhaps the majestic Royal Palace. There will also be time to stroll through the exclusive shopping and residential districts, and to visit the gourmet San Miguel Market. One evening, enjoy a private "tapas tasting" tour of some of the city's most beloved tapas bars.
Next, fly to San Sebastian, an elegant seaside resort near the border of France that is the gastronomic capital of the Basque Country. Tour the picturesque old town, and browse local produce and fish markets. Basque cuisine is generally considered to be Spain's finest and on this tour you will have ample opportunity to sample the local specialties. Take a class at a private cooking club, and enjoy a private tasting of the region's delicious pintxos—the Basque version of tapas—and Txakoli, a local, slightly sparkling white wine.
Continue to Rioja, one of the world's most renowned winemaking regions. Spend two nights in the heart of La Rioja at the Hotel Marques de Riscal, a luxury hotel with distinctive architecture designed by Frank Gehry and a wine therapy spa offering treatments using vine and grape seed extracts. On a private day excursion, visit Laguardia, a beautiful medieval walled village with wine caves under its cobblestone streets and impressive views of the nearby hills. Tour surrounding vineyards and enjoy wine tastings at bodegas (wineries) designed by celebrated modern architects such as Santiago Calatrava and Zaha Hadid. Also visit Bilbao, one of the most architecturally progressive towns in Spain. Visit the Guggenheim Museum, a stunning building of swooping titanium curves designed by Frank Gehry. After a private tour of the museum's art collection, perhaps enjoy dining in its Michelin-starred restaurant or visit other interesting architectural and cultural sites in the city.
End your tour with three nights in Barcelona, one of Europe's most dynamic centers of modern design and cutting-edge cuisine. Discover Gaudi's fantastical structures such as Sagrada Familia, Casa Mila, Casa Batllo or the hillside Parc Guell. Visit some of the city's excellent museums, such as the Picasso Museum or Miro Museum. Stroll along Las Ramblas—Barcelona's most famous boulevard—and explore the narrow streets of the Gothic Quarter and La Ribera. If desired, explore the city's shopping districts, stopping at upscale boutiques along the broad Passeig de Gracia and design shops in the stylish Born and Raval neighborhoods. Also visit the city's leading food markets, including the Santa Caterina Market and La Boqueria Market. One day, enjoy a cooking class where you will learn to prepare several regional dishes. Alternatively, enjoy a private excursion into the Catalan countryside, dotted with ancient stone farmhouses and charming medieval villages, or enjoy wine tastings in the renowned Penedes wine region.

Standing atop the cable television mountain as the current ratings king, it comes as a surprise to no one that FX's outlaw-biker drama Sons of Anarchy has received an order for season 5 sometime in 2012.
The show's success comes at around the halfway point in the fourth season, which not only has set the benchmark for the series in terms of ratings, but also gives its network, FX, bragging rights for having the current number one drama on cable.
At present, Sons of Anarchy is drawing around 5.8 million viewers to its Tuesday night airings – which is a 30 percent increase on the audience from season 3. Once alternative viewing methods such as DVR, On Demand and encore airings are factored in, the boys of SAMCRO generally conjure up an impressive audience of 9 million viewers. Moreover, the premiere of season 4 on September 6th was the highest-rated episode in FX network history, pulling in 6.5 million viewers.
Commenting on the recent renewal for the fifth season, and Sons of Anarchy's remarkable standing in the ratings, FX president John Landgraff had this to say:
Everyone at FX is very grateful to Kurt Sutter, his many writing, directing and producing collaborators and his masterful cast for making such a compelling and beautifully crafted show. It is no small challenge to bring the themes of a great, ancient play like 'Hamlet' into a wholly original television setting and to tell his complex story in a way that is both riveting and accessible to a broad audience.
The show's success has become something of a two-way street for talent, offering stars like Charlie Hunnam (Jax) the opportunity to work with co-star Ron Perlman's frequent cinematic collaborator Guillermo Del Toro onthe big-budget sci-fi extravaganza Pacific Rim, while attracting the interest of well-known faces like Danny Trejo and David Hasselhoff for guest spots during the current season of Sons.
Sons of Anarchy has also raised the profile of series creator Kurt Sutter, who - after the disappointment of his series being omitted from this year's Emmy Awards - brought forth a verbal tirade via Twitter and his own blog. The fallout of said tirade subsequently saw Sutter shut down his Twitter account - albeit temporarily. Of course, given the nature of the show, such outbursts likely earned Sutter more credibility amongst his ever-growing fanbase.
Though Sons of Anarchy is currently enjoying its hard-fought success, with the acquisition of every crown there is born an adversary looking to take it, and with season 2 of The Walking Dead starting off strong – garnering interest and support from a similar demographic – it will be interesting to see if the boys of SAMCRO will remain atop the ratings heap come season's end on November 29th.
Season 4 of Sons of Anarchy continues Tuesday nights @10pm on FX.

With double-digit cases appearing at a New York school and reports of an outbreak in the Midwest, fear of a swine flu pandemic may upend yet another attempt to reform U.S. immigration laws and deal a catastrophic blow to the economy at the same time.
By Monday afternoon, New York's Mayor Bloomberg confirmed that the number of swine flu cases in the New York school was up to 28. Thankfully, there haven't been any deaths -- unlike in Mexico where the outbreak has killed more than a 100 people. As troubling as these numbers are, reaction from panicked populations worldwide and their representative governments could make things even worse.
Domestically, the Mexican origins of the swine flu could cause Barack Obama to become the second consecutive president to see his plans for comprehensive immigration reform collapse because of events outside his control. In 2001, George W. Bush wanted to push forward on immigration -- only to see that frustrated for several years because of 9/11 and the War on Terror. Any attempt by Obama to liberalize immigration laws -- especially affecting those coming from Mexico -- may run into negative public opinion because of the swine flu problem. Such a development would be bad for the economies of both the US and Mexico (to say nothing of wealthy types in California's Orange County and New York's Upper West Side: Who will tend to their gardens? Who will look after their kids? The horror! The horror!)
Meanwhile, the EU is already advising Europeans not to visit the Americas until there are assurances that the outbreak has been contained. That's awful news for a United States struggling with recession. It's even worse news for a New York City whose economy has become so dependent on tourism in recent years. (Of course, the US is also advising Americans not to travel to Mexico too.)
In short, just as, in the words of President Obama, there were some "glimmers of hope" in the economy, flu fears could throw the world economy into a secondary tailspin.
Just what we needed.

" I had the best experience with Classic BMW! They made me feel so special when I got my new car, unveiling it with a bow and everything! Amanda Malchi, John Kobell, Jim Francis and Alex Miles went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect and memorable. The finance manager Amanda really took care of me and made sure I was covered with everything I needed. She is trustworthy and honest. Her and Jim found exactly what I was looking for and made the entire process so smooth and easy! Alex sat with me in my car and went over every function in detail top to bottom, making sure I was comfortable and good to go! And the GM, John personally made sure everything was perfect. Everyone at Classic BMW is wonderful, hands down the best customer service. Highly recommend! "
"Robin McCormick is the best client Advisor at Classic..."
" Robin McCormick is the best client Advisor at Classic BMW. in my opinion. He takes good care of the customer. Works hard for the customer. "
" Very professional and efficient staff. Mark Fressard and John Kobell were very helpful and found me the perfect car in just one day! Highly recommend Classic BMW in Plano to any prospective car buyer. Fast, affordable and friendly! "
" Only went there to pick up a part for work. As usual, the sales people were friendly and accommodating. "
" Associates Othman & Pierre made an extreme effort to give me the best deal possible on a 2019 x3 while maintaining outstanding customer service! I felt as though they really had my best interest at heart and I'll definitely be looking at classic bmw for any business. "
" Classic. "
" Thanks Jim Brooks, always happy with your attention and service "
" I am extremely happy with the service in general, and particularly with the Service Advisor who has been taking care of my car's needs everytime I bring it in. Most of it has been routine maintenance, and Keith Damer has promptly taken care of what I came for, and what was about to come due. My last visit included having the windshield replaced, and Keith took care of all the details, including having my car taken to Classic BMW's body shop miles away and back, while I was given a loaner car. I love my car, and I am sure part of that is the overall Dealership experience. "
" Great place. Friendly service technicians and superb lounge to relax while waiting for service to be done. All in all its super great. "
"Very satisfied"
" Very easy to work with this dealership and there is no pressure. The car is amazing and so were everyone from the salesperson, finance manager, and tech guy that showed me the bells and whistles on my new car. "
" Mark Fressard is knowledgeable, informative, and fair. Classic is a class operation from their GM on down the line. I have bought many cars over the years but never had such a thoroughly professional experience from the Sales Professional to the F&I person who was informative but not at all high pressure. The price of my Certified Pre Owned 2018 X 5 was fair and I was referred to Classic by a friend who currently has a family fleet of 4 BMWs, all purchased from Classic BMW.. His family's experience over the years has been great and I have every reason to believe my experience will mirror his family's. Thank you for changing my generalized opinion of car dealers..... "
" Mark Fressard and the team at Classic BMW are consummate professionals. They know their product, and provide outstanding service from sales and F&I through servicing your car. I was referred to Mark by a friend who has four BMWs in the family, all sold to him by Mark. His family has years of positive experience with Classic and refers friends to Mark which is the ultimate compliment to a sales professional. I purchased my first BMW product this past weekend and this was the best experience I have had in 35 years of buying cars. Give them a try and you won't be disappointed. "
" I was looking at a vehicle to test drive. Alex Miles, John Kobell, and their team at Classic made sure I was taken care of. Alex and John explained the features of the vehicle. I also was getting my BMW serviced at the same time. David Adamcik was the service advisor we did work with, he was knowledgeable, professional, and very kind. He gave us an estimate as to when the vehicle would be ready, and he broke that estimate in half, instead of taking a day, it took them only 4 hours. I will be returning again to Classic for service to my BMW or to look at a new BMW. "
" Not excited about their service agent named Walker "
" Great experience today at classic bmw , took car in for first time for service and super happy with my experience, Mallory was awesome. Thk u "
" The crew here have been taking great care of my BMW needs for the past three years. Keep up the awesome service. "
" Pedro Gutierrez provided us stellar sales support as we purchased our 2020 440 convertible. He is knowledgeable, trustworthy and customer satisfaction focused. His communication with us throughout the process was fantastic. I would highly recommend Classic BMW for your purchase of a new car or pre-owned cars. Pedro is amazing! "
" Really loved the fact they hosted Dallas Cars and Coffee. Even though they don't host it anymore I would come here if I'm ever in the market for a BMW. "
" I want to deeply thank Brandon Womack and David Adamcik for their assistance at almost 9pm last night! I returned a loaner vehicle just after 8pm and put the key in the night drop box only to realize about 15 minutes later that my wallet was in the locked loaner car. I ran back to the dealership and was able to get Brandon to help as he was leaving the dealership after 8:15pm. Brandon made some phone calls and David Adamcik agreed to drive back up to the dealership to open the drop box so I could get my wallet. It saved me a 2 hour drive this morning driving back up to Classic and back towards my home in early am traffic. Brandon has a newborn baby daughter and for him to stay with me until almost 9pm last night to help me was very greatly appreciated. Also, for David to drive back to the dealership after 8:30pm to help me get my wallet is customer service at the very highest level. David and Brandon, thank you both very, very much. You both are shining examples of why Classic BMW has such a stellar reputation in the industry. "
" Always great service from John the service advisor. Quick in and outs and free washes when you bring your car in for service. "
" Had a good experience with them. They were good to deal with. "
" I absolutely LOVE my Jeep. I drove all the way from Oklahoma for this car, and they made the whole process quick and painless. Hands down, the easiest car buying process I've ever had. John and Doug were so great, will definitely consider looking at their inventory for my next purchase! "
" We have been taking our two BMWs here for years. Our service advisor, Keith Damer, has been been excellent at helping streamline the process any time either car need to be dropped off. He goes above and beyond to make sure we're taken care of whether we're in or out of warranty. "

Lynn Fox of Frisco passes away
Lynn Marie Fox
May 11, 1953 – Nov. 19, 2013
Lynn Fox passed away at the Frisco Hospital on Nov. 19, 2013, after a short battle with cancer. Over the last 31 years Lynn was a resident of Colorado. She lived in the Denver Front Range, including Evergreen, Chaffee County, but mostly lived in Summit County, most recently in Frisco.
Lynn held positions with Keystone Resort, Copper Mountain Resort, Colorado Mountain College and most recently the U.S. Forest Service Visitors Center in Silverthorne.
Lynn was born in Monroe, Wisc., where she also graduated high school. She received her BA from the University of Wisconsin and an MA from Southern Illinois University. She spent several months in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, getting certified to teach English as a Second Language. Lynn taught ESL in Summit County and at the University of Colorado Boulder.
Lynn will be most remembered for her smile, great attitude and love of life. Everyone who met Lynn loved her, and she usually developed some sort of long-term relationship with them. She loved nature and the outdoors, spending much time hiking and XC skiing on the trails of Summit County.
Lynn enjoyed the warm beaches of Mexico and worked hard to learn Spanish so she could absorb a bit of the culture. She enjoyed the people and the local Mexican establishments and always looked for opportunities to practice her Spanish both in Mexico and back at home.
Lynn loved all animals, especially her dog Willow, who was her frequent companion on the hiking and XC trails. She made many friends along the trails with her dog.
Lynn was an avid photographer and many of her best times are shown in her photos.
Lynn is survived by her partner, friend and husband, Alan Stewart, of Frisco; her mother, Gen Counselman, of Monroe; her brother, Dean Counselman, of Monroe; two sisters, Jill Norton, of Stevens Point, Wisc., and Beth Kramer, of Baraboo, Wisc.; five nieces and nine grandnieces and grandnephews.
In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to Summit County Humane Society or your favorite charity. A celebration of life will be held in Summit County early next summer and in her home town of Monroe. She will be sorely missed.

Name Rank Serial Number
The best comic of last week? MARS ATTACKS POPEYE. I don't mean to give out spoilers, but the Martians lost. I do hope they fare better this week against KISS. Maybe with KISS gone IDW will start publishing a Jethro Tull comic book!
ONE of the best comics of last week was Hellboy In Hell #2. Elegant, creepy and fun, HBinH #2 made up for most of the first issues rambling clunkiness with big pay offs in both direction and character. I am a crazed Hellboy Fanboy… a Hellfan if you will, though I stopped getting the spinoff title B.P.R.D. some time ago. One thing that makes Hellboy in Hell so great is Mike Mignola back at the helm of both pencils and writing. The past few years worth of Hellboy books have been drawn (and possibly written) by several artists, including Richard Corben and Duncan Fegredo. These are great, fun titles and both do amazing jobs carving out their own fingerholds in the Hellboy cliff face. Hellboy The Wild Hunt was a fun, romp through the woods of Hellboy's milieu, and a great place to jump on for fans eager to get caught up on Big Red. This week sees the release of B.P.R.D. Hell On Earth Abyss Time #1 of 2, aka B.P.R.D. #103. I believe that the current storyline focuses on the actual end times playing out on the surface of the Earth and the combined efforts of all concerned to stop it. What struck me the most, oddly, was the title. I'm not sure how many issues of Hellboy there have been, but I was struck by a question. Would Hellboy in Hell #2 sell better or worse if it was just called Hellboy #85?
Superman's latest periodical hits this week in the form of Action Comics #16, which sounds far more accessible than Superman #2345. Superman is going to go toe to toe with an evil demonic version of himself from an alternative universe. Sounds great! There are so many ways to read comics now, be it through classic single issues, trade paperbacks or even digital downloads. Comic book names are getting a bit unwieldy simply because the publishers need you to be able to recognize the reprint trades when they hit the shelves later on. So for example, Superior Spider-Man #1 hits the shelves this week, a guaranteed must buy (unless your boycotting Dan Slott), and I am sure we will see a few issues go down the pike before they've branded the book with a subtitle for the sake of trades. This leads to a bigger thought on what the main draw to a comic is, anyway. Dark Horse has a new Graphic Novel out collecting Peter Bagge's recent comic RESET. There are no titular characters we're familiar with. Would it have sold better or worse if the book was titled after Bagge's old indie comic which launched hom to fame? Should this collection be renamed Peter Bagge's Hate: Reset? It's fun to think about, especially when you take it to the extreme. Since all comics derive from Superman, and Superman was the inheritor of the work done by the Gaines family on Famous Funnies, I think the most accurate title for this week's Detective Comics #16 SHOULD be Famous Funnies Staring Superman #167895234, Batman Detective Comics A Death To the Family #16!

Huawei is kicking off 2013 with a bang, introducing two high-end handsets at CES this year. Besides the supersized Ascend Mate, the Chinese manufacturer also introduced the Ascend D2, its latest flagship smartphone.
The D2 is the successor to the marginally successful Ascend D, which was introduced in early 2012. Internally, the D2 ups the ante with a 1.5GHZ quad-core processor and a 5-inch, 1080P display that has a 441 ppi pixel density. This pixel density puts the D2 above the Galaxy S III, the Note II and the iPhone 5. It's now on par with other 1080P handsets like the Droid DNA, and as you can see above, the display is big and beautiful.
On the outside, the D2 is a boxy slab with a white face (or black) and silver trim on the sides. The front of the phone has a series of capacitive buttons at the bottom of the display and a disturbingly large white space at the bottom of the phone. There's also a front-facing camera for video calling.
The back of the phone is pretty plain with a bottom speaker and a camera at the top. It is a 13-megapixel shooter with autofocus, LED flash and support for recording 1080P video at a respectable 30 FPS. The bottom of the phone has a 3.5mm headset jack and a speaker grill, while the top houses a a SIM card tray and a microUSB port for charging and syncing your phone. A volume rocker and a power button grace the sides of the device.
The D2 has a curved design that makes the phone feel comfortable in your hand. That's relative as the 5-inch screen is still on the big size for those with smaller hands. Performance-wise, the D2 does just fine on with its 1.5GHz processor and it competitive with other handsets in its high-end category. It's dust- and water-resistant, which is a nice bonus you don't often see in your flagship phones.
The D2 is first and foremost a mobile phone and is chockfull of connectivity options including WiFi 802.11 a/b/g/n, DLNA, WiFi Hotspot, Bluetooth 4.0, NFC, HSPA+ and LTE. The Ascend D2 ships with Android 4.1 Jelly Bean with an upgrade to Android 4.2 coming down the pike. The Emotion UI overlays the Android OS and is a blessing or a curse depending on how you feel about skins.

Guidelines for IMF Supplier EligibilityLast Updated: June 1, 2010
Who is eligible to become an IMF Supplier?
For this purpose, a Supplier is defined as an organization that has been incorporated, or registered as a company (sole proprietorship, partnership, limited partnership, and corporation) that has been established to offer goods and/or services for profit. Organizations registered as 'not for profit' (e.g. universities, United Nations agencies, other government agencies) are also considered a business.
How do businesses become eligible IMF Suppliers?
Potential Suppliers must meet the following criteria:
- The business enterprise must be currently incorporated or registered as a company (sole proprietorship, partnership, limited partnership, and corporation) and be able to demonstrate that it has been and is offering goods and/or services under the business name for a period of not less than three years.
- Potential Suppliers must not have been or currently be barred from contracting with any United Nations, World Bank, Government or international agency.
- Potential Suppliers must have more than one business client. Any revenue obtained from IMF contracts will likely not exceed more than 25% of the potential Supplier's total annual revenue from all sources.
What is the process for determining eligibility?
- All potential Suppliers who are invited to bid on IMF procurements are required to complete a Supplier Questionnaire, which is an attachment to the RFP package.
- Bidders submit questionnaire responses with their proposals, which are reviewed by the Procurement Officer and the Evaluation Team to determine eligibility.

The Wedge Hut at Wedgemount Lake
The hut at Wedgemount Lake is a wonderful thing. Built by the BC Mountaineering Club in 1970, and since donated to Garibaldi Provincial Park, it is free to use by anyone. It's cozy with two large tables and a loft. Often, during busy times you will find the tables used as beds, a couple on the floor and four people up in the loft. The Wedge Mountain Hut is positioned in a spectacular part of the world.
High up overlooking Wedgemount Lake. In the massive shadow of Wedge Mountain, the highest mountain in the entire Garibaldi Range. It's a cozy and compact little house in the middle of the carnage of massive rocks, erratics left over the centuries by glaciers and rock slides.
Back in the late 60's the British Columbia Mountaineering Club went forward with building five huts in the Coast Mountains of BC. Two of the five were built in Garibaldi Provincial Park, they were The Russet Lake Hut in 1968 and the Wedgemount Lake Hut in 1970. Because structures like these cannot be owned as they are in BC Parks, they are open for use by anyone. There are two large wooden tables along the left and right walls and a little window across from the door. On entering you notice a ladder going straight up to the loft. Everything is bare, weathered wood, but tidy and secure. It's simply a nice, solid, secure little house in a hostile wasteland of beauty. As you walk in you notice right away a feeling of warmth hits you. The Wedge Hut is as wonderful thing.
Wedgemount Lake is one of the most spectacular hikes in Garibaldi Provincial Park. Though it is a relentlessly exhausting, steep hike, it is mercifully short at only 7 kilometres (one way). The elevation gain in that short distance is over 1200 metres which makes it a much steeper hike than most other Whistler hiking trails. Compared with other Whistler hikes, Wedgemount Lake is half the roundtrip distance of either Black Tusk or Panorama Ridge, for example, at 13.5k and 15k respectively (one way).
Wedgemount Lake itself is a magnificent destination for a day hike or spectacular overnight beneath the dazzling mountain peaks and stars. Many sleep under the stars on one of the many beautiful tent platforms that dot the landscape. Solidly built, wooden tent platforms are everywhere you look at Wedgemount Lake. Strategically positioned, these platforms manage to maintain an amazingly secluded feel despite their numbers. In all Wedgemount Lake has 20 of these tent areas. Most are wooden, but several down by the lake shore are gravel, yet every bit as nice.
At a fast hiking pace you can reach Wedgemount Lake from the trailhead in just an hour and a half but at a leisurely or backpack laden pace you will likely take over two hours. The trail is well marked and well used. The steepness of the trail doesn't require any technical skill, however that last kilometre before the lake you will be scrambling on all fours quite a bit.
The elevation gain makes a tremendous difference when carrying a heavy backpack and unprepared for the exertion. There is hardly a section of the trail that is not steeply uphill. The first 15 minutes takes you into the deep forest and then across Wedgemount Creek. This crashing creek can be heard from quite a distance and gives you a hint of the steepness of the trail to come.
The source of Wedgemount Creek is of course Wedgemount Lake which tumbles down almost 300 metres in the spectacular Wedgemount Falls. You will be able to see Wedgemount Falls around the 5 kilometre mark along the trail. It is far off to the right in the distance. Despite the distance, you will hear it loud and clear and some easy to find and get to areas off the trail give amazing views of it.
One of the defining features of Garibaldi Provincial Park, and Wedgemount Lake in particular, is the staggering number of branching hikes from the main destination of the lake itself. For many, Wedgemount Lake and the "Wedge" Hut is the base for hikes to Wedge Mountain, Mount Cook, Mount Weart, Mount Moe, Mount James Turner and Mount Currie in Pemberton, crossing glaciers such as Wedge Glacier, Weart Glacier, Armchair Glacier, Mystery Glacier and the Needles and Chaos Glacier to name a few.
Dozens of unforgettable peaks can be reached from this quiet little hut overlooking this perfect, turquoise lake. In short, if you were to design a paradise in the mountains, Wedgemount Lake would be the standard to which all others would pale.
The sheltered valley, beautiful turquoise lake, wonderfully huge glacier across the valley and brutally jagged mountains all around all contribute to making Wedgemount Lake something special. It's challenging and exhausting to hike to and an absolute paradise to relax in. Down by the lakeside you can actually find two recliner chairs, built out of the rocks by the lake. Such a perfect way to enjoy the sun rising over the not-so-distant glacier across the lake.
Wedgemount Lake - Campsite, Trail & Parking Info
The free parking at the trailhead to Wedgemount Lake, or Wedge as it's more often called is easy to find as there are easy to spot Garibaldi Provincial Park signs on the Sea to Sky Highway. Located just a short and scenic, ten minute drive north of Whistler Village. An excellent place to see Wedge Mountain on the way to the Wedgemount Lake trailhead is the Green Lake viewpoint at the edge of Highway 99. Look for the obvious and large pullout on the right side of the Sea to Sky Highway at the edge of Green Lake. The pullout is easy to spot shortly after you can see Green Lake. The views across to Whistler Mountain, Blackcomb Mountain and Wedge Mountain are amazing. There is also a nice information board indicating what you are looking at. Also, just after the highway turnoff to Wedgemount Lake there is a beautiful picnic area on Green River. Picnic tables, serenity and the hugely crashing Green River make this a great spot to relax before your hike. This is also a superb and free place to camp before and/or after hiking Wedgemount Lake. Beautiful freshwater river and lots of places to put up a tent near the Green River bridge make it an ideal setting. From Whistler Village at Village Gate Boulevard, zero your odometer proceed north on Highway 99. At 11.3km a sign will direct you to turn right to "Wedgemount(Garibaldi)". Cross the train tracks and the bridge over Green River and immediately (11.5k) turn left onto the Wedge Creek Forest Service Road. At 11.7km turn right and head up the bumpy but drivable to all types of cars to the parking lot at 13.2km. In the winter months (December to March) this last portion of road will likely be too deep with snow to drive, so parking here at the 11.7km mark may be as close as you can get. The trailhead parking lot is large and well maintained with an information board and outhouse. Though crime is almost non-existent in Whistler, be sure to secure your vehicle as leaving valuables visible in your car at a hiking trailhead is asking for trouble.
Camping in Garibaldi Provincial Park is generally very good and at Wedgemount Lake the facilities are spectacular. There are 20 designated tent spots and each one with a million dollar view of paradise. Half of these spots are located near the Wedge Hut, up along the dramatic scree, boulder and enormous erratic field about 300 metres from Wedgemount Lake. These tent spots are made of beautiful, wooden tent platforms and arranged to maximize both privacy and view. Nestled in alpine trees about 50 metres up the slope from the hut, three wooden tent platforms hide. Closer to the hut, nestled in the massive erratics are three more platforms. The more you explore among the gnarled and dramatically beautiful krummholz, the more perfectly positioned tent platforms you find. Down at the shore of Wedgemount Lake, just across from the foot of the glacier are several wood framed, gravel tent platforms lined majestically along the shore. Strategically positioned to line your tent view directly across the lake to the breathtaking Wedge Glacier. The wonderful silence broken only by distant waterfalls and the occasional rock slide from across the lake. The foot of the Wedge Glacier is just a short walk away.
Garibaldi Park is home to an ever increasing number of mountain huts. Russet Lake has one, Elfin Lakes has a massive one, Garibaldi Lake has one at the far end of the lake mainly used in the winter. The Spearhead Range that connects Blackcomb Mountain and Whistler Mountain mountains has a current proposal that may see the construction of several more huts. The Wedgemount Lake hut is free to use and there is no reservation system. It has an upper loft area that could fit four people in a pinch and the main floor has two large tables that are used as beds as well. The hut can comfortably accommodate 6 people, however more can fit if needed. Due to the tent pads being so numerous and beautiful, the Wedge Hut often goes unused. It is of course quite dark inside despite having some small windows and is just equipped with a shovel, broom, logbook and a few odds and ends left by previous hikers. The door locks from both the inside and outside making it secure from rodents, bears, sasquatches and mosquitoes. Due to the Wedgemount Lake trail being so steep, the Wedge Hut allows you to lighten your load by not having to carry a tent if you choose to. Also, in poor weather the hut is a wonderful, dry and secure retreat from the elements. Hikers often hike to Wedgemount Lake without a tent, hoping to sleep under the stars with just a sleeping bag. Relying on the Wedge Hut as just a backup in the event of rain or snow. In the spring and winter months, when Whistler is deep with snow, the Wedge Hut is an indispensable refuge for skiers and snowboarders. The hut is free to use and there is no reservations system in place to use it, however you still have to pay the Garibaldi Park overnight camping fee.
There is an outhouse (toilet), at the trailhead to Wedgemount Lake. Another one a few metres from the Wedge Hut and tent platforms at Wedgemount Lake. And a third, almost hidden toilet down near the lakeside tent platforms. You will spot an unusual looking, plastic box in the scree slope along the trail to the lake. This is a futuristic looking outhouse that is more convenient to the campsites at the lake. All the outhouses in Garibaldi Park are serviced frequently and even equipped with toilet paper, however, bringing your own is always a good idea as it inevitably runs out sometimes. If you are unfamiliar with outhouses, they consist of, (usually) a very small wooden room with a small window for light. Sometimes the outhouse is built above a pit in the ground for waste, but in the case of the Wedgemount Lake outhouse it is raised above a massive waste tank that is routinely replaced by helicopter. They are unavoidably disgusting and fly ridden despite the frequent and heroic efforts of excellent BC Parks staff.
Dogs are not permitted on the Wedgemount Lake trail or any other Garibaldi Provincial Park trails out of courtesy to the resident animals of the park. There are a large number of black bears in the park and encounters with dogs result in unpredictable and potentially dangerous conflicts. There are quite a few excellent hiking trails in Whistler that are dog friendly. Whistler's Valley Trail and Lost Lake Trails are dog friendly and run throughout Whistler. The Sea to Sky Trail, which runs over 30 kilometres through Whistler is a paradise trail for dogs as it runs through numerous parks, beaches and forests. Ancient Cedars is a nice, dog friendly hike that is 5 kilometres roundtrip and takes you into a thousand year old forest. Train Wreck is also dog friendly. The trailhead, marked Flank Trail is located in Function Junction, just a short drive south of Whistler Village. Further south you will come to Brandywine Falls, which is a short, 2k (roundtrip) dog friendly hike to the amazing falls. About 25 minutes north of Whistler, Nairn Falls is another beautiful and dog friendly hiking trails. For a look at some of the best dog friendly hikes in Whistler try here..

Soooo this has been bugging me for a few days and I have to get it off my chest LOL.
I went to a "Discussion" at Glorius At that was supposed to be about Free Men, honor, blah blah.
It devolved into a discussion about slaves and their rps and me speaking to a girl who is devote a Lifestyler and does not believe slaves should be Anything more then perfect, obedient, yes girls. During the discussion I mentioned something about Gor in general, I can't remember the exact thing but it was out of the books. That's when one of the men stated..."I'm impressed a roleplayer is so knowledgeable about gor" At the time I dismissed the comment as a compliment, but later that night it began to eat away at me. Honestly, I feel like that should be the opposite...It should be surprising that a Lifestyler would know so much about gor. They are the ones living a basically impossible dream and are completly clueless about the dynamics of a slave/Master realtionship in the books.
In my honest opinion, Gor is simply Impossible to actually live as a lifestyle for one Main Reason. ITS A FICTIONAL BOOK IN A FANTASY WORLD!
This isn't 50 Shades of Gray that is based in the real world. This is a Fantasy world! You can kneel in nadu in your home, obey your husbands/Masters every command, get your ass whipped, but You'er not going to see a Thalarion wandering the streets, and he can't stick a set of silks on you, put you on a leash and parade you around town unless he wants to be arrested. You can't really "live" a gorean life, and if you think you can...then really...who has less knowledge about gor? Gah. okay, I'm done LOL.

The Blue Buffalo Foundation was established in 2003 to provide a source of funds for universities and clinics that have programs dedicated to gaining a greater understanding of the causes, treatments and prevention of dog cancer and cat cancer.
The Foundation's initial activity will be to provide grants to a select group of universities and clinics as determined by its Directors. Over time the Foundation's goal is to increase both the number of grants and the amount of each grant as the BLUE brand grows and sales increase.
The Foundation will support all areas of cancer research, including the use of superior nutrition and all natural dog food in a preventative context, as this is where we as pet parents can make the greatest contribution to the dogs and cats we love.

The Agoraphobic Traveller
The roads available on Google Street View have led Jacqui Kenny to places she never thought she could go. She is one of the thousands of people around the world who experiences agoraphobia. For her, even the thought of leaving the house is enough to generate stress and panic attacks, making everyday activities like going to the store or to work difficult or even impossible. Her home became her safehaven, imposing tall borders on the size of her world.
It was one day when she found herself clicking through Google Street View when the idea came to her. She stumbled across an arresting scene of a dog running behind the Street View camera car. Jacqui positioned the framing, clicked a screengrab and thought to herself:
"That's a beautiful picture."
She went through remote places in parts of the world that had always fascinated her, like Peru and Mongolia, diligently poking down sideroads and out-of-the-way places, capturing the arresting moments that called out to her. The more she explored with Street View, the more she began to find the frames that spoke to her.
And what she found in these seemingly otherworldly locations really spoke to people. Encouraged by her family to share them, in just a few months she's amassed over 50k followers on her Instagram account. Her photos, evocative of the remoteness that she herself so longs for, speak to something deeper than just a well-framed photo. Traveling this way, being able to go to the places she could only imagine, has allowed Jacqui to find her voice. She's able to express herself, which means a lot for someone who finds it difficult to go outside their comfort zone. As she puts it:
"Agoraphobia and anxiety limit my ability to travel, so I've found another way to see the world."
While disorienting, this newfound exposure has helped her feel comfortable stepping out of her shell. In the fall of 2017, Jacqui's work was featured in her first solo gallery show in Manhattan. In a partnership with Stories For Good she is selling limited edition prints to raise money for mental health charities.
For Jacqui she knows there's a long road ahead of her, but she's excited to continue to develop her photography. She doesn't know where it'll take her, but it's a step in the right direction.

We love when celebrities reveal that they're not the perfect creatures we make them out to be—which is exactly what Malin Akerman did while promoting her new sitcom, Trophy Wife.
The actress looked totally gorgeous and glowing, post-baby, in her Alexander Wang black and white sleeveless mini dres, yet told Us Weekly, "You haven't seen the cellulite on my ass and my stomach. Oh I'm telling you!"
If there's one thing we can relate to, it's how annoying cellulite can be and how hard it is to get rid of it.
Obviously we know there isn't a cure for it, but with the proper diet and regular exercise, you can lessen the look of it. Turns out the right application of cellulite-targeting creams can also help make a difference in the appearance of orange-peel textured skin.
What techniques are we talking about? Clarins, Bliss, and Vichy all seem to have a similar take on applying these types of creams to make them more efficacious:
1. Take a generous amount of the cream and quickly spread the formula on using both hands for 20 to 30 seconds, starting from the knee towards the hip and over the buttocks.
2. Continue with slow, big kneading movements, alternating between the two hands, while moving the fingers simultaneously to treat all the target zones. This continued motion helps stimulate lymphatic drainage. Once these pockets of fluid are drained, the dimpling is less prominent. Um, swimsuit season here we come!
For cellulite on your butt, hips, and thighs, apply any of these cellulite creams twice a day using the method above.
If you struggle with dimples on your stomach only, Vichy makes a formula specifically for that stubborn spot: Destock Stomach Firming and Refining Treatment, $38, vichyusa.com, which uses five percent pure caffeine and firming peptides that help improve microcirculation and firm and refine your skin in that area. But the cool thing about this product is that its packaging includes seven exercises that help target cellulite. Clinical studies were done on 50 women that revealed that their skin's firmness after four weeks of only working out was up 10 percent, but when they used the Destock stomach, it increased to 17 percent. Sign. Us. Up.
So, Cosmo girls, if you're a fan of cellulite creams, will you be applying them this way forever more?
