Members of the press yesterday accused police of attacking them, when law enforcement officers forcibly evicted protesters occupying the Executive Yuan.
"Reporters, please leave the place. We will soon begin to disperse the crowd," police officers said to the dozens of reporters at the back gate of the Executive Yuan at about 1am yesterday, as they prepared to evict protesters occupying the compound.
Shortly afterward, police began pushing reporters out of the gate. Moreover, contrary to their earlier statement that members of the media could stand right outside the gate, they kept on pushing the reporters to move further away.
The move triggered protests from the reporters, many of whom accused the police of violating freedom of the press. Those who insisted on going inside or just standing by the gate were immediately surrounded by officers and pushed out.
As the police began to disperse the crowd inside the compound, a number of reporters were also dragged or attacked by officers.
"When officers approached me, I showed them my press pass, and repeatedly told them that I am a reporter, but an officer from Nangang Police Precinct would not listen to me," a newspaper reporter surnamed Chu (朱) said after he was evicted. "He kicked me in the back and hit me with his fist."
Not long after, shouting could be heard from the Executive Yuan's back gate.
"How could you do this to journalists? You hit my cameraman, pulled him away, and then also dragged me away from the scene," a TV reporter yelled at officers near the gate. "You always say you are protecting reporters. Is this how you protect us?"
More than a dozen similar incidents were reported, with a number of reporters suffering serious injuries such as bone fractures.
At nearly 5am, when police were moving on to evict protesters occupying an annex building, a line of officers pushed forward, forcing reporters away from the scene and into the pressroom.
Some later heard reports that police had decided to clear the pressroom as well. However, a senior reporter helped to negotiate with police to allow reporters to stay in the room.
The Association of Taiwan Journalists (ATJ) yesterday condemned the police for using violence against members of the media.
"The ATJ has received more than 10 cases of attacks on media reporters by the police during the student occupation of the Executive Yuan. The ATJ condemns the police for using violence against the media and violating the freedom of the press," an ATJ statement said.
"We also strongly protest the police's decision to disperse media reporters before dispersing the protesters. We suspect that the objective is to block the media from reporting the truth. This is a serious violation of the freedom of the press, and the worse example set in a democratic society," the association said.
Later yesterday, when asked by the Taipei Times about the police action, which blocked reporters from covering their move to break up the protest, Premier Jiang Yi-huah (江宜樺) said he told National Police Agency Director-General Wang Cho-chiun (王卓鈞) that the police had to make sure to ask reporters to leave before they started crowd dispersal measures so that reporters would not get hurt by water cannons.
"If there were reporters who were pushed when they were trying to secure a better place to take photos, I am sorry, but I wanted every reporter to be safe while they they were working," Jiang said.

Animal rehab center facing financial crunch
CASTALIA – An animal rehabilitation center in northern Ohio that nurses wild animals back to health is making its own appeal for help.
The center is facing a potential financial crisis after losing an important supply of free food for its hawks and owls, said Mona Rutger, founder of Back to the Wild in Castalia near Sandusky.
"Our source for rodents we rely on to feed all our injured wildlife and permanent residents has gone," she said.
A laboratory in Portage, Mich., is closing and no longer will be able to give the center a free supply of rodents for the animals. The lab donated rats and mice that were free of research chemicals to zoos, rehab centers and nature centers, she said.
The center's workers would pick up the rodents once a month, saving the center thousands of dollars. In the summer, they use about 300 mice and 50 to 60 rats a night, said Heather Yount, the center's staff supervisor. Yount says staff and volunteers also plan to work to save the center.
Back to the Wild now will need $80,000 a year to make up for the loss, Rutger said.
"I can't bear the thought of closing it," Rutger said. "This is my life's work."
Rutger, who founded the nonprofit wildlife rehabilitation and nature education center 24 years ago, was honored in 2002 by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. The department gave her The Cardinal Award for dedication to protecting and preserving wildlife.
Back to the Wild treats thousands of animals — including wild birds, foxes, turtles, fawns, squirrels, bald eagles and rabbits — each year and is funded through donations. Most of the animals are hurt by human activity, such as being hit by a car, poisoning or being entangled in fishing line.
The goal is nursing animals back to health so they can return to their natural habitat. The center rehabilitates more than 2,500 animals each year.
Back to the Wild also sees thousands of visitors, including school children who come to learn about wild animals.
Rutger vowed that she won't allow the shortfall to force her to close the center.

New Products
Long-Lasting Consumables for Plasma-Cutting Systems
The consumables offering includes two Hypertherm innovations—SilverLine electrodes and patent-pending CoolFlow nozzles—along with swirl rings and shield caps that reportedly increase consumable life by as much as 100 percent. The new consumables join five other ProLine consumable sets—50-, 70-, 100-, 150- and 200-A versions—introduced last year.
SilverLine electrodes feature a solid silver front end welded to a copper electrode base, with a hafnium pin inserted into the silver. CoolFlow nozzle technology, on the other hand, offers improved conduction cooling, O-ring cooling and seal reliability. Additionally, flow stagnation and leaks into the plasma chamber are eliminated.

Damiana Herb
Damiana herb (Turnera diffusa) is a small shrub with beautiful, yellow, aromatic blossoms. It is abundant in the regions of Central and South America, specifically in Mexico. The Damiana herb can still be found in the wild, although many Damiana herbs that are used in medicinal preparations are now grown in ranches or farms.
The leaves of the Damiana herb are used dried or fresh as an aphrodisiac. Research has also shown that Damiana herb may also be used to increase sperm count in males and to significantly increase the count and strength of eggs in females. The Damiana herb also has anti depressant properties by increasing mood, affect and elicit a positive well being.
History and Origin
In Southern America, the Damiana herb is a part of the local culture where it is used as a powerful aphrodisiac. The tribes drank Damiana herb tea to increase virility and sexual prowess. It is often ground and mixed with warm water plus a little sugar to make it more flavorful and pleasant.
Origins of the Damiana herb dates back to the Spanish missionaries' arrival in Mexico. They have recorded specific accounts of Mexican Indians drinking Damiana herb tea in celebrations and festivities as an aphrodisiac.
Ancient Uses
During ancient times, when the Spanish missionaries first landed in Mexico, they have noticed native Mexican Indians use Damiana herb as a drink or tea to promote sexual potency. Aside from this benefit, it has also been used to relieve anxiety, restlessness and symptoms of mild depression. Some tribes also use Damiana herb as an herbal tonic to promote overall health and wellness.
The effect of Damiana herb as a laxative was also recorded plus uses for certain gastrointestinal illness such as constipation. The Damiana herb was also used to treat cough as an expectorant and as an astringent.
Modern Uses
Damiana herb is basically used as an aphrodisiac. Increased sperm count, increase sex drive, virility and increased energy has been the effect in men while increased egg count, egg strength, increased sex drive and increased libido are the effect in women.
Aside from its aphrodisiac properties of Damiana herb it helps boost overall mood, correct hormonal imbalances which is often common in menopausal women, increase energy and may also be used to treat central nervous system disorders.
Although the Damiana herb is widely accepted as an aphrodisiac, how this is possible is still not known. The relaxing effect of the herb is mild unlike effects of Cannabis which may also lead to dependence and addiction.
Side Effects
Experts note that Damiana herb is safe in regular doses. Long term effect of taking Damiana herb has not been explored. There have been studies about the abortive effects of this herb and therefore it is cautioned for pregnant women. Damiana herb may also react with medications such as diabetes medications or insulin plus it has also been noted that the herb may also retard the body's ability to absorb elemental iron and thus iron and hemoglobin levels must be closely monitored while using it.
If you would like to use Damiana herb for its medicinal and aphrodisiac effects, ask your doctor if you have a preexisting illness. Your medications may react with Damiana herb so it is best to consult a doctor before hand.

Comments Module: General Info
Posted by , Last modified by on 21 December 2010 02:45 PM
General Info:A comments page is similar to a Guest Book in that it takes comments from visitors; however, the comments module is more versatile than a guestbook. This module can be put on any page and is a useful feature to get comments on a specific subject. For example, if you write an article and would like people to leave their comments about that article, you can use the comments module. Another use is to get feedback about an event your organization recently held. Businesses can get feedback from their customers and it is also great for testimonials from customers or from those served by a specific ministry.
Another key feature to the comments module is that it is capable of distinguishing between web pages. So, if you put a comments module on a page about the recent youth conference and another comments module on a page about the new building project, the comments module will keep those comments separate. This allows webmasters to use the comments module on several pages at once.
To configure the comments login to your admin section, click the dropdown "Add-on Modules" menu in the top menu of your admin section and choose "Comments".
You can add the Comments module to any page using the "Insert Module" feature when editing a page. For more information about how to insert a module, please see the "Modules: Insert a Module" help page.
*Note: The comments module is available with all hosting packages including the free sites.

Dk Hanna Afiqah bte Pg Hassanal Ali Saifuddien, who is an A Level student at Maktab Sains PSBS, will be attending the Global Changemakers 7th Global Youth Summit from 25 November to 1 December 2012 in High Wycombe, England. The Global Youth Summit will bring together 60 young social entrepreneurs, community activists and volunteers aged 16 to 21 from around the world to exchange best practices and developing action plans for projects that tackle issues ranging from AIDS/HIV and corruption to education and human rights.
Dk Hanna was honoured to be given the opportunity to be a part of the Global Changemakers network and attend the Global Youth Summit. She said, "I'm looking forward to networking with inspiring global changemakers from all over the world when we gather at the Global Youth Summit and to exchange ideas that if cultivated can potentially help societal issues and help our own local communities back home."
During the summit, participants will work in issues-based groups (e.g. environment and climate change, social entrepreneurship, education, human rights) to develop plans for joint and individual projects aimed at addressing these issues and raising awareness about them. In addition, the participants brought into the network at the Global Youth Summit become eligible to apply for individual grant funding and support. They will also join existing workgroups collecting knowledge, ideas and best practices and share their ideas and experience with the wider Global Changemakers community.
British Deputy High Commissioner to Brunei, Sunny Ahmed said, "I am delighted that Dk Hannah will be joining the Global Changemakers Youth Summit in the UK (supported by the British Council). She is clearly a very bright and motivated young lady (selected from amongst thousands of applicants), committed to bringing about positive change. It is fitting that Dk Hanna will be embarking upon a journey of personal development just days after His Majesty outlined the Development of Youth as a priority area during Brunei's chairmanship of ASEAN. We look forward to working with Dk Hanna upon her return and believe she will be an inspiration to other young people in Brunei and around the world."
Dk Hanna was selected from over 3400 applicants from all over the world to join the Global Changemakers network. The Global Changemakers programme is a group of young people between the ages 16 and 25 who have demonstrated a track record of achievement in their local communities through social entrepreneurship, social activism and voluntary work. They are part of a global network where they share ideas and best practices, and participate in high-level political and economic events to act as advocates for the youth.
There are currently over 800 Changemakers, more than 200,000 young people involved in Global Changemakers activities each year, and 3.2 million beneficiaries of GCM projects. Since its inception in 2007, Global Changemakers has organised and run over 15 regional and global youth workshops across the world – in Amman, Beirut, Brussels, Cape Town, Doha, Harare, Rio de Janeiro and London, among others. Global Changemakers have been invited to participate in World Economic Forum events, the Clinton Global Initiative, G20, UN World Climate Conference, Women Deliver, and the launch of the World Bank's Youth Anti-Corruption network, among others.

Tea Review 102 - Teas Etc Black Tea (x3)
Golden Monkey
Ceylon OP1
Assam Reserve
Teas Etc
When I originally wrote this review, I made the observation that the Assam tasted like a Ceylon and vice versa and speculated that maybe the samples had been mislabeled. Teas Etc responded by sending more samples of each.
I can say for sure now that the Assam I reviewed was actually an Assam and a rather good one at that. As for the Ceylon, I've finally found that most elusive of creatures, a Ceylon variety that I'd rank as truly outstanding. This one gets my highest recommendation.

I'm fond of all types of tea but I have to confess to a particular weakness for outstanding black varieties. So I wasted no time tearing into the black tea samples Teas Etc recently passed along. Two of these get the thumbs up and one ranked a couple of notches above that.
Golden Monkey
I don't have a lot of experience with this Chinese black variety, but those few I've tasted have never disappointed. This one is no exception. The leaves and the steeped tea are both quite light and the flavor the same, with a very nice mouthfeel and a great finish.
Assam Reserve
If I had to pick one favorite type of tea, it would be Assam, hands down. Like most teas they run the gamut from bilge water suitable only for exterminating cockroaches to elixir of the gods. This one was very nice, though it didn't quite make to the elixir category.
Ceylon OP1
This was the real surprise. Ceylon is another category I don't have much experience with and one that's never left me very impressed. This one definitely falls into the elixir of the gods category, with a great aroma, rich flavor, and extremely smooth mouthfeel.
One thing I did find odd was that the Ceylon reminded me of a really great Assam, while the Assam mentioned above tasted more like a good Ceylon. Which makes me wonder if perhaps the samples were mislabeled. In any event, one of the these two teas comes very highly recommended. I should also note that the Assam and Ceylon are both 2009 World Tea Championship winners.

Hey teaguyspeaks! Great tea posts!
Just wanted to inform you that there's a new tea brand out there called Angels Tea. It has a focus on young hip sexy modernization of the image of loose leaf tea.
Anyways, think it tastes good and has a unique design. Hope you will like it!
www.angelstea.com is where u can check it out.
This post is particularly relevant for me because I recently bought a few of these black teas from Teas etc to sample and learn more about them. I haven't opened them yet and this review helps me get some perspective. But I'm still discouraged about black tea because I recently learned that even those who taste many Darjeelings find that the true muscatel notes are elusive and rarely experienced. Thus I know that I'm unlikely to find them without endless searching, and I'm just not that interested in a purely sensual experience. --Spirituality of Tea

Is There a Moral Case for Capitalism?
Socialism has been discredited. The totalitarian states of the twentieth century have collapsed. And we beneficiaries of the globalized world economy are grateful that we enjoy plentiful food, clothing, shelter—and cheap electronics. But can any moral person really be for capitalism? Consumerism is an appalling spectacle, with Americans glutting themselves on all kinds of excess, while people in the developing world starve. The rich seem to be hogging far more than their share of the world's resources. Free markets may be efficient, but are they fair? Aren't there some things—life-saving health care, for example—that we can't afford to leave to the vicissitudes of the market? Now, in Defending the Free Market: The Moral Case for a Free Economy, Father Robert Sirico—a Catholic priest, former leftist associate of Jane Fonda, and now a longtime champion of the free market—answers all these objections.

Description: The Tithe Applotment Books record the results of a unique land survey taken to determine the amount of tax payable by landholders to the Church of Ireland, the established church until 1869. They are known as the Tithe Applotment Books because the results of this land survey were originally compiled in nearly 2,000 hand-written books. This data set represents a virtual census for pre-Famine Ireland. Since it covers all of Ireland it is immensely important in terms of constructing, not just an image of a particular family line, but of wider social conditions in the country.

oddbins vs the olympics
This has to be the funniest thing ive heard so far in the lead up to the games, Oddbins are launching a 'marketing counter strike' aimed at the draconian and quite absurdly harsh Olympic Branding laws which has stopped businesses in the capital and across the nation that aren't official sponsors profiting from the games, banning the use of words such as "gold", "Games", "2012″, "summer" and "London" in any of their promotions. Ridiculous right? So Oddbins is offering a massive 30% discount to any of their customers who kit themselves out in branding rivals to the LOCOG main sponsors. Turn up in a pair of Nike trainers, with a set of Vauxhall car keys, an RBS MasterCard, an iPhone, a bill from British Gas and a receipt for a Pepsi bought at KFC and you will receive 30 per cent off your purchase!

Pictured: Dillon O'Neill
ATLANTA, Ga. – Jeff Reynolds had a pair of hits including a home run but Harvard dropped a 9-3 decision to Georgia State Thursday evening at the Field at Panthersville.
Joey Wood homered and drove in four runs as Georgia State (15-4) won its sixth straight game. The Crimson falls to 1-10 on its southern swing entering a weekend series at Charlotte.
With the game tied 3-3 in the fifth inning, Wood belted his third homer of the season, a two-run shot to left center to put the Panthers ahead for good at 5-3.
GSU added another run in the fifth, three more in the sixth and one in the seventh to pull away from Joe Walsh's Crimson.
Jeff Hajdin walked to lead off the game, stole second and went to third on a single from Marcus Way. The duo then pulled off a double steal before Way came around on a single form Dillon O' Neill to give the Crimson an early lead. GSU answered immediately with two runs in its half of the inning before Reynolds gave the visitors a short-lived lead with a solo shot down the left field line to start the third inning.
Reynolds, O'Neill and Danny Moskovits all finished with two hits while Zach Olson threw a scoreless eighth for Harvard.

A Lesson In Scale
In a co-op overlooking Lake Michigan, furniture fits to scale
Downsizing never went so big. Soon-to-be empty nesters Courtney McEnery, above, and her husband, Roger, were moving from an 1870s Victorian home in Chicago's Lincoln Park area to a co-op of roughly the same square footage on the 22nd floor of a building overlooking Lake Michigan. With a house full of elegant antique furniture, the couple figured they wouldn't need to buy a thing. "We thought we were set," Courtney says. But as movers hauled the furniture into the 5,800-square-foot residence, her heart sank. "It looked like doll furniture," she recalls. "Our biggest sofa looked like a tiny love seat in one corner of the living room. It was a real lesson in scale." Design: Jessica Lagrange, Jessica Lagrange Interiors LLC, 605 N.

The co-op's spacious rooms, including a 34x19-foot living room with 10-foot ceilings, demanded furniture with weight and heft, says Jessica Lagrange, a Chicago interior designer and longtime friend who came to the McEnirys' rescue. "Their other home was beautiful," she notes, "but its rooms were smaller and darker. Here, everything is grand and on a much larger scale."
Large windows with their sky-high views magnify the spaces even more. The living room overlooks Lake Michigan, and the family room has views of Lincoln Park Zoo, one of Courtney's favorite Chicago attractions.
Lagrange anchored the living room with a pair of 96-inch-long suede sofas in a "paper-bag" color with brass nailheads. The sofas were so massive that they wouldn't fit inside the building's service elevator, so they were upended and placed on the elevator's roof. Two men escorted the sofas as they slowly ascended one-by-one to the co-op's level. "I made sure I was out of town that day," Courtney says, only half-joking.

The changing colors of the lake -- from gray, to blue, to brown -- inspired Courtney's choice of a tranquil blue palette for the living room. "We wanted to bring the whole spectrum of those colors inside," she says.
reflecting the blue hues of the water. Courtney had admired similar panels at a luxury hotel in New York City. "I fell in love with the colors and the whole calm feeling of those panels," she says. Made in China, the designs are hand-painted on textured papers that were installed in strips by a paint contractor. Framing the panels are moldings that flank 9-foot-tall double doors at each end of the room.

Four large windows with views of the lake are softened with silk draperies in water shades of blue and green. Walls are also blue, "the color of the lake," says Lagrange. Grounding the room, an antique 10x14-foot Oriental rug in tones of slate blue, green, and rust is layered over a nearly room-size sisal carpet.
In the dining room, Courtney somewhat reluctantly gave up her grandmother's rectangular table. "I was adamant they use a round table," Lagrange says. "You're all together, and it's more conducive to conversation." A mirrored commode and gilt chandelier with rock crystals give the room a touch of Hollywood glam, the designer notes.

The kitchen was also renovated several years ago, and the McEnirys needed only to update it with paint, some new appliances, and stainless steel panels on the existing twin refrigerators. The linoleum floors were stripped and resealed with a high-gloss finish, and the black granite countertops were also refinished and resealed.

Daughters Grace and Eloise both weighed in on the design of their own bedrooms. Nineteen-year-old Grace went with a vibrant toile in an unexpected combo of acid-green and red. "It's not your typical pink-and-green toile," Lagrange says. Grace's room doubles as a guest room because she is at college much of the year.

Eloise, 16, found her color scheme in her choice of Ralph Lauren sheets in orange, pink, yellow, blue, and green. "Eloise wanted to do something modern, so Jessica came up with a mid-century-modern concept," Courtney explains. The bed's headboard is upholstered in orange velvet, walls are painted a high-gloss white, and twin ottomans with X-bases are white patent leather with orange trim. The bedside lamps were Courtney's when she was a girl, updated with pink shades.

Donald Trump is suggesting he could favor "softening" laws dealing with immigrants living in the United States illegally.
Trump taped a town hall in Austin on Tuesday for Fox News. Moderator Sean Hannity asked the Republican presidential nominee if he would change any statute to accommodate law-abiding citizens or those with children.
Trump answered, "There certainly can be a softening because we're not looking to hurt people. We want people, we have some great people in this country."
U.S. & World
He added, "We are going to follow the laws of this country."
His remarks could indicate he is considering easing his earlier pledge to deport the 11 million people living in the country illegally.
Trump said he would make a decision "very soon" about deportations.
Trump's visit to Texas included a fundraiser Tuesday morning in Fort Worth and a public rally later Tuesday evening.
A quick stop in Texas to raise money for a campaign is very common, but hosting a rally in the Lone Star State just 11 weeks out from the general election is not.
"The dye is cast here in Texas. It's going to go Republican, and so a lot of consultants feel like he's wasting his time here," said Gromer Jeffers, political reporter for The Dallas Morning News.
Texas has gone red in every presidential election since 1976.
"In fact, no presidential candidate on either side – Democrat or Republican – has held a public rally in Texas this late in the process since Bob Dole in 1996," Jeffers said.
Some big Republican names in Texas politics skipped the Austin rally.
Gov. Greg Abbott was in San Antonio Tuesday at Brooke Army Medical Center, for ongoing treatment of burns on his legs and feet he suffered last month. Land Commissioner George P. Bush, the only member of the Bush family to endorse Trump, told NBC 5 he had a previous commitment.
Attorney General Ken Paxton said he had a previously scheduled speech. U.S. Sen. John Cornyn, who gave Trump a lukewarm endorsement, was traveling overseas. And U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz has not endorsed Trump.
But some other state lawmakers were in attendance, including Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller and U.S. Rep. Michael Burgess, who represents the 26th district.
On Thursday former president Bill Clinton is scheduled to appear at fundraising stops in Dallas, Houston and San Antonio in support of his wife, Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton. But no rallies are scheduled.
The Associated Press' Johnathan Lemire contributed to this report.

Seals, such as those that appear on documents certified by the Secretary
of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, have a long history and were mentioned
even in the Bible. They were widely used many centuries ago because most
persons, even of high rank and wealth, did not read or write. Acceptance
of a document was signified by making an impression of one's coat of arms
into a blob of soft wax, usually with an engraved signet ring. There was
a general reluctance to affix seals to documents unless absolute certainty
of the contents could be confirmed. This eventually led to the idea that
documents of state and other important personal papers, such as deeds,
should contain a seal that bore witness to their authenticity.
In 1629, King Charles I granted a charter to the Massachusetts Bay Colony,
which included the authority to use a seal. It featured an Indian holding
an arrow pointed down in a gesture of peace, with the words "Come
over and help us," emphasizing the missionary and commercial intentions
of the original colonists. This seal was used until 1686, shortly after
the charter was annulled, and again from 1689-1692.
From 1686 to 1689 Governor Edmund Andros used a seal with two sides,
one side showing King James II with an Englishman and Indian kneeling
in front of him, the other side showing the lion and unicorn of the royal
coat of arms. When the Province of Massachusetts began in 1692, the royal
coat of arms of England, combined with a motto specific to the reigning
monarch, became the official seal. Royal governors affixed their personal
seals to commissions issued to officers in the military service.
When the conflict between the province and England began in 1775, General
Thomas Gage, the royal governor, had custody of the province seal. As
his authority was no longer recognized by the province it became necessary
to establish a new public seal. The General Court passed an order on July
28, 1775, appointing a committee to consider "what is necessary to
be done relative to a Colony Seal." The design adopted was that of
an English-American man holding the Magna Carta. The seal was engraved
by Paul Revere, whose original signed bill for the work is located in
the Massachusetts Archives. A motto in Latin was also chosen - "Ense
petit placidam sub libertate quietem" - which remains the motto of
the Commonwealth today. Freely translated this means, "By the sword
we seek peace, but peace only under liberty." It was written about
1659 and is attributed to the famous English patriot, Algernon Sydney.
Soon after its first meeting under the Massachusetts Constitution, the
state legislature appointed a committee "to consider & determine
upon a Seal for this Commonwealth." A month later, on December 13,
1780, the Council and Governor John Hancock accepted Nathan Cushing's
design for a new seal. Paul Revere was once again commissioned to engrave
the seal, which returned to its original design of a native American Indian.
Revere presented his bill on December 23, 1780 - the signed original is
located at the Massachusetts Archives. The Council provided only a casual
description of how the seal should look, so subsequent engravers varied
the appearance of the seal.
It was not until June 4, 1885, that the legislature prescribed the seal
in its present form. According to St.1885, c. 288:
The great seal of the Commonwealth shall be circular in form, and
shall bear upon its face a representation of the arms of the Commonwealth,
with an inscription round about such representation, consisting of the
words "Sigillum Reipublicae Massachusettensis"; but the colors
of such arms shall not be an essential part of said seal, and an impression
from a engraved seal according to said design, on any commission, paper
or document of any kind, shall be valid to all intents and purposes whether
such colors, or the representation of such colors by the customary heraldic
lines or marks, be employed or not.
The arms, which form the central part of the Great Seal
...shall consist of a shield, whereof the field or surface is blue,
and thereon an Indian dressed in his shirt and moccasins, holding in his
right hand a bow, and in his left hand an arrow, point downward, all of
gold; and in the upper corner above his right arm, a silver star with
five points. The crest shall be a wreath of blue and gold, whereon is
a right arm, bent at the elbow, and clothed and ruffled, the hand grasping
a broadsword, all of gold. The motto shall be "Ense petit placidam
sub libertate quietem."
Starting in 1894 there was an attempt to provide a more accurate representation
of the appearance of the Indian on the Great Seal. Secretary of the Commonwealth
William M. Olin consulted various ethnologists, and the Indian was redesigned
within the restrictions of the 1780 and 1885 laws. In 1898, Edmund H.
Garrett's design was made the official representation of the coat of arms
for the state, according to St. 1898, c. 519:
The coat-of-arms as drawn and emblazoned under the direction of the
present secretary of the Commonwealth, and now deposited in the office
of said secretary, is hereby adopted and declared to be the official representation
of the coat-of-arms of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and all designs
of said coat-of-arms for official use shall conform strictly to said representation.
The Great Seal is in the custody of the Secretary of the Commonwealth, who is required by the Constitution to affix an impression of it to all commissions (official appointments) issued in the name of the Commonwealth. The use of the coat of arms and the Great Seal of the Commonwealth for advertising or commercial purposes is prohibited by law. In addition to commissions, all records certified by the Secretary must bear the Great Seal. Permission to use the coat of arms and the Great Seal must be obtained from the Secretary of the Commonwealth. Contact the Public Records Division at 617-727-2832 with any questions regarding appropriate uses.

BGTG 78 - Back in the saddle
I still need to do a feedback show to go through a backlog, but today I couldn't wait for that. You see, I've had a break in my busy schedule--or at least an attitude adjustment after a recent vacation--and just needed to record a podcast again. I'm playing some more games, catching up on some podcast listening, and wanted to share some thoughts about recent games. This particular show happened to have more talk about a couple wargames: Hammer of the Scots over email with Paul Tevis (of the Have Games, Will Travel podcast), and Duel In The Dark played face-to-face. I know the latter is marketed as more of a Euro game, published by Z-Man, but I think it's at least as much of a wargame, albeit a light one with flashy components. Really, I think it's a good example of a wargame/euro hybrid. Oh, I talk about some other games, too, such as another look at Kingsburg, and my first play of Take It To The Limit.

Lyndsey Fry netted Harvard's third hat trick of the season Saturday against Yale (Gil Talbot).
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Sophomore forward Lyndsey Fry played the role of finisher on the day, as her four goals powered the No. 8 Harvard women's hockey team to a 4-0 blanking of Yale (1-27-1, 1-20-1 ECAC), Saturday at Bright Hockey Center in the regular-season finale. The win gives Harvard (20-8-1, 17-4-1 ECAC) its 10th 20-win season in program history and first since 2009-10.
Fry's hat trick is the third by a Harvard skater this season as Gina McDonald and Jillian Dempsey also tallied three goals in a game this year. Fry and Dempsey's feats were both natural hat tricks, and both recorded a short-handed, an even strength and a power-play goal.
Goalie Laura Bellamy recorded her seventh shutout of the season and 14th of her career, turning aside 17 shots in the game. Her seven clean sheets on the season puts her in a tie for second in program history, as Ali Boe '06 turned in seven shutouts in 2003-04. Her 14 career shutouts put her along in third place in team annals.
Harvard got its first score of the day on its first power play of the game, jumping out to a 1-0 lead at the 8:01 mark. Josephine Pucci wound up for a shot from the point and a deft tip by Lyndsey Fry redirected the puck past Genny Ladiges for Fry's 16th tally of the year. Fry struck again with 6:53 to play in the first period, as a Samantha Reber eked past Ladiges and Fry was there to clean up the rebound. Harvard closed the first period with a daunting 22-6 edge in shots.
Penalties were the story of the second period as Harvard was whistled for five infractions, but stood strong on the penalty kill, keeping the Bulldogs off the board. In fact, Fry saw an opportunity when Harvard was called for its second penalty of the period, capitalizing on a Yale turnover to complete her natural hat trick. Jillian Dempsey and Marissa Gedman combined to strip the puck from Yale and Fry took care of the rest, beating Ladiges on a one-on-one at 7:59 for the short-handed score.
Some more fancy stick work earned Fry her fourth tally of the game. Michelle Picard fielded a pass from Samantha Reber, and Picard led Fry with a pass into the Yale zone. Fry dragged the puck across her body and lifted a backhand shot past Ladiges to cap the scoring on the day, registering her 19th goal of the season.
Following the game, Harvard paid tribute to its lone member of the class of 2012, captain Alisa Baumgartner. The West Vancover, B.C., native heads into the ECAC tournament with 16 career points on six goals and 10 assists.
With the regular season wrapped up, the Crimson now turns its attention to the ECAC tournament. Harvard, the No. 2 seed in the tournament, will host Princeton in a best-of-three series, beginning with a 4 p.m. game Friday at Bright Hockey Center.

Allen E. Paulson Stadium was dedicated on Sept. 29, 1984, with a 48-11 rout of Liberty Baptist. The game was a fitting end to four years of planning and hard work - four years of dreaming of one of the finest football facilities in America.
The phrase "The Prettiest Little Stadium in America" was coined by former head coach Erk Russell. Constructed at a cost of $4.7 million, Paulson Stadium currently seats 18,000 spectators. Permanent light fixtures were added prior to the 1994 season. The stadium features a prescription athletic turf playing field designed to accommodate both soccer and football, special climate-controlled VIP boxes with luxurious interiors, private restrooms and food service areas.

Lonicera × tellmanniana
This climber is deciduous so it will lose all its leaves in autumn, then fresh new foliage appears again each spring.
- Position: full sun or partial shade
- Soil: fertile, humus-rich, moist, well-drained soil
- Rate of growth: average to fast-growing
- Flowering period: May and July
- Hardiness: fully hardy
Bright, tubular unscented flowers are the colour of burnt amber and flushed red in bud, smother this honeysuckle from May to July. This gorgeous, deciduous climber looks lovely as the backdrop for a planting scheme based on 'hot' colours. One of the most unusual honeysuckles, it flowers best on a south-west wall in full sun to light shade with its roots in deep shade.
- Garden care: Cut back established plants after flowering, removing a third of the flowering shoots. Apply a generous 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of well-rotted compost or manure around the base of the plant in early spring.

- Can this br planted in a big pot?
Hello, It can be grown in a big pot (provided it is kept well fed and watered), but as this is a large plant, it tends to run out of steam and starts to suffer from pests and diseases if its roots cant have free reign. A better option would be the more compact form 'Rhubarb and Custard' - please click on the following link to go straight to it. https://www.crocus.co.uk/plants/_/lonicera-periclymenum-rhubarb-and-custard/classid.2000020958/
- Hi, Is this honeysuckle scented please? Thank you
Hello there No this honeysuckle doesn't have scented flowers. Hope this helps.
- Plant for an east facing wall Hi, Could you help me with the choice of plant for an east facing wall (it will get early morning sun). The wall is 8 foot high and 20 foot long. I liked the idea of a climbing Hydrangea but this appears to grow to 15 metres. Is there a similar evergreen plant that you could recommend? Many thanks Sue
Sue Mather
Hi Helen Many thanks I think we will go for the Hydrangea Regards Sue
Crocus Helpdesk
Hello Sue, The Hydrangea is really quite slow growing and you can easily cut it back if it does get too big, so if you really like it, I would be tempted to go for it. Alternatively you could opt for one of the Loniceras or a Hedera, both of which can be trimmed back if they get over-large. I hope this helps. Helen Plant Doctor

- Plants to deter cats Hello, my tiny terrace garden was recently made over at some expense but my 2 beloved moggies have ruined the one flower bed by using it as a loo-I am about to spend yet more money on having it cleaned up but how do I deter the cats from ruining it again? They are outdoor cats and use the catflap and there is nowhere indoors to put a litter tray anyway. Friends suggested several centimetres of woodchips? on the soil would put them off but I would value your advice before I invest. Also, which perfumed lilies are poisonous to cats?-or are they all? I am not thinking of poisoning the 2 moggies but I would like some lilies in pots but not if they are going to harm the cats. Also, suggestions of perfumed climbing shrubs that will stand shade. Many thanks Sonia
Sonia Richardson
Hello There, There are a couple of ways you can deter cats from the garden. Firstly you can plant lots of things that have spines or thorns, thus making it awkward for them to dig in - here are some of my favourites. Pyracantha's are ideal - this is a prickly wall shrub that has small white flowers which become fabulous red berries in autumn. http://www.crocus.co.uk/findplant/results/?CommonName=pyracantha Berberis is another good choice: http://www.crocus.co.uk/findplant/results/?CommonName=berberis Chaenomeles: http://www.crocus.co.uk/findplant/results/?CommonName=chaenomeles Ilex (holly): http://www.crocus.co.uk/findplant/results/?CommonName=ilex All of the above plants are evergreen (except Chaenomeles), so you will have year round interest. There are loads of cat deterrents on the market that work by scent or water. We have a few on our site. http://www.crocus.co.uk/products/_/tools/pest-control/cats/prcid.87/vid.484/ Other methods that you could try include sprinkling curry powder around the boundaries where they frequent, drying your used tea bags and then putting a few drops of eucalyptus oil on them before scattering in the garden. Orange peel when broken into small pieces and scattered around the borders works wonders and it's cheap as does grated, perfumed soap. As for the lilies, I think they are all quite toxic to cats, so they should be avoided. Finally, the best scented climbers for shade are the Loniceras - just click on the following link to go straight to them http://www.crocus.co.uk/search/_/search.lonicera/ I hope this helps and good luck!

- Why don't the climbers flower My aunt aged 83 has a Jasmine and Honeysuckle growing beautifully up an east facing wall getting plenty of warmth and sunshine. They were planted about 5 1/2 years ago. The Jasmine flowered briefly in its second year of growth but hasn't flowered since and the Honeysuckle hasn't bloomed at all. Both plants are very healthy in every other respect. Can you please advise.Thanking you in anticipation. Sarah

Hello there, The most likely cause is a lack of sun, although other factors could include pruning at the wrong time of the year, or not enough feed or water. If you want to give them a bit of a push, then feed them with Sulphate of Potash (following the manufacturers instructions).I hope this helps, Helen.

Google claims data given to NSA via secure FTP, by hand
- Google uses FTP servers and occasional hand delivery in NSA requests for user data
- The company has continually worked to distance itself from secret government program PRISM
- Electronic Frontier Foundation%3A NSA can%27t access servers without the companies knowing
Google disclosed Wednesday that it uses secure FTP servers and occasionally in-person delivery when it complies to National Security Agency requests for user information.
"When required to comply with these requests, we deliver that information to the U.S. government — generally through secure FTP transfers and in person," Google spokesperson Chris Gaither said in an e-mail. "The U.S. government does not have the ability to pull that data directly from our servers or network."
Secure FTP is used to send files through an encrypted digital channel from one computer to another. By technological standards, it's an old tool.
Google's revelation comes on the heels of requests made Tuesday by Google, Facebook and other tech firms to publish further details about requests for user information made by the U.S. government for national security purposes.
Federal law currently prohibits the disclosure of any information about requests made under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, and permission to report even aggregate statistics about such requests would require an unprecedented declassification of national security information, USA TODAY reported Tuesday.
Since details about the secret government program PRISM surfaced last week, Google has said publicly that it was not aware of the program's existence and has said it took no part in providing the government with direct access to user information.
"We refuse to participate in any program — for national security or other reasons — that requires us to provide governments with access to our systems or to install their equipment on our networks," Gaither said.
The details released Wednesday go further to create separation between Google and PRISM, as FTP servers or in-person delivery of information would not give the government access to Google servers and would require the company's compliance with each request.
Meanwhile, other tech companies — including Facebook, AOL and Twitter, which was not named in the leaks about PRISM — have been unwilling to release information about national security requests in accordance with federal law.
"We are prevented by law from talking about even how these requests come in and how they're processed," Facebook spokesperson Jodi Seth said.
Facebook has said it does not provide any law enforcement agency with access to its servers. The methods it uses to deliver information to other law enforcement agencies varies by case, spokesman Fred Wolens said.
"It will all depend on the request we receive," Wolens said. "We would deliver information on the whereabouts of a missing kid differently than a request for a case that's several months old."
Analyst Eva Galperin at the Electronic Frontier Foundation said the NSA could not have accessed Google and others' servers without the companies themselves knowing. She said even though they've denied involvement in PRISM, companies could still be providing information to the government through other methods not involving direct access to servers.
"What they deny is knowledge of a program called PRISM and direct access," Galperin said. "You can see from the statements from Facebook and Google and Microsoft, all of which talk about transparency reports and getting permission from the government to publish FISA requests, that they were in fact responding to them. Otherwise they wouldn't be getting permission to publish information about these requests."

Bernard Law Group
We are a personal injury law firm that serves the people. We feel that the big corporations and insurance companies take advantage of the little guy like you and me and that's just not fair.
We work on cases such as: Car Accidents, Dog Bite cases, motorcycle accidents, birth injuries, etc.
We are redesigning our website and we want to get more traffic to our site. The audience will be the same. People that are injured through the negligence of someone's actions.
They are usually looking for an attorney because they've been hurt, or a friend or family member may have been hurt and they need advice on how to proceed.
Often times they are stressed out because they don't know who to trust, or turn to. They may also be injured and in pain or have been laid off from work. So these are very delicate emotional states our readers are in.
Ok, so we are re-designing our website and we need a new logo. That's where your awesome skills come in. While we are a Personal Injury Law Firm, and lots of people have negative connotations about them being mean and thuggish, we really do care about our clients and want the best for them.
So we are looking for a logo that will help people recognize who we are, that we have their best interests at heart and that we understand how terrifying it is to be hurt and not know what to do next (so we're here to help).
Here's a list of the things we'd like to see in the logo for you to go off of:
1. NOTE: We are changing what we want it to say. We did NOT like how "KBL" was fitting together so...
WE'D like it to say "Bernard Law Group" and/or use the letters "BLG" in some fashion.
2. We'd like it to reflect a certain level of professionalism (as we've been in business for almost 30 years)
3. One that helps the reader feel they can trust us.
4. Ideally we'd like to be able to use it on our pdf reports that we give away, free accident kits that we give out, used in out T.V. spots. etc. We want to incorporate it on the website (in the header) as well as on various social media accounts we have (like youtube and facebook)
5. We'd like it to be designed in photoshop or illustrator
6. open to color choices
Please be creative, and keep in mind: Justice, compassion, professionalism, trust, friendly, looking out for your best interests.
(NOTE: we also don't really want any "scales, lady justice, courthouses" those logos while helpful are a little bit old.
7. If we can get professional fonts with a clean crisp layout of "BLG" or "Bernard Law Group" we'll have it in the bag.
Thank you and have a great day!

text:
1 1/3 cup flour
1/2 cup unsalted butter at room temperature
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg at room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
5.5 oz Kissables (or M & Ms)
Preheat the oven to 350. Line 3 cookie sheets with parchment paper. In a medium sized bowl combine flour, salt, and baking powder. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla and combine thoroughly. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the sweetened butter and mix until a very thick dough forms. Use a spoon to fold in the Kissables and distributing them evenly. Form cookies by dropping 1 teaspoon of dough on the sheet two inches apart. Flatten slightly then bake until light brown, about 12 minutes. Let cool on wire racks (if you can wait that long) then serve with plenty of cold milk.
Yields: about 2 dozen cookies, depending on size. I like to make just a few cookies at a time and keep the rest of the dough in the fridge until the next urge stikes.
