With a brush in one hand and a goblet of wine in the other, customers appear to regard the "paint-and-sip" bar as the next big thing in socializing and spirits.
And the less-than-a-month-old Brush It Off at the Sturbridge Market Place, 559 Main St. (Route 20), in Sturbridge, is the latest venue in this growing trend.
The paint-and-sip craze is credited to two Louisiana women, Cathy Deano and Renee Maloney. In 2007, Ms. Deano and Ms. Maloney started Corks N Canvas in Mandeville, La. With four locations in Greater New Orleans, the company began franchising the business as Painting with a Twist in 2009. To date, 73 franchises have been sold all over the country, including Brush It Off.
While paint-and-sip bars are more common in the South, there are paint-and-sip bars in Newton, Natick and Maynard.
Billed as a safe and inexpensive alternative night out, an evening of painting and sipping is like a party from which you bring home a painting of your own creation in the bargain.
A graphic designer since 1982 and former game designer for Hasbro Toys — she said she designed "Elmo's Birthday" game and all the company's 3-D Sculpture Puzzles, including "Elvis" and "The Eternal Woman"— Denise Morgan opened Brush It Off after her daughter, Jessica, took her to a paint-and-sip bar. And she fell in love with it.
"It was such a great, relaxing experience for me that I wanted to share that with as many people as I could, hence, Brush It Off," Ms. Morgan said.
Realizing that she couldn't do it alone, Ms. Morgan asked a local theater company director if she knew a "spontaneous personality" who could teach painting, as well as engage a room of 30 or so people.
Ms. Morgan found Andrea Newland, a 2006 graduate of the Massachusetts College of Art and Design in Boston.
"I never heard of paint-and-sip bars before, so she took me to one," Ms. Newland recalled. "It was so much fun. And I said, yeah, I would love to work here and paint and teach. It's my two favorite things."
While a vast majority of clients tend to be women from all walks of life, paint-and-sip bars also cater to bridal parties, corporation get-togethers, fundraisers and date nights.
Ms. Morgan and Ms. Newland said it isn't necessary to be an artist to go to a paint-and-sip bar.
"With any painting, I go step-by-step and show you what brush to use, what paint to use and where to put it on the canvas," Ms. Newland explained. "So with someone telling you what to do along the way it takes out all that guesswork that happens to an artist like what color should it be and what am I trying to say with this painting. And the people who have never painted before walk away with a painting that is really good. It's like, you never painted before? I'm amazed with what you have come up with."
In addition to not being an artist, the two women said, a person doesn't need to be a drinker to attend a paint-and-sip bar.
"You don't have to drink to be here. You have to be 21 to drink. I don't instruct on the sipping," Ms. Newland said. "We had people come in with their teenage daughters and families come in so it's definitely more a painting studio than a bar."
Most painting sessions at Brush It Off are $35; open sessions are $25. Wine, bottled beer, malt beverages and non-alcoholic drinks are available. Brush It Off does not have a bring your own bottle policy.
Despite being an artist in her own right, Ms. Newland had to learn a new style of teaching to reach those who have never picked up a brush before. Erin Green, a University of Massachusetts at Amherst graduate with a bachelor's in theater, is Brush It Off's other instructor.
"I've done standup comedy in the past. I've done theater and I've done teaching in high school and middle schools and I've painted and I've waitressed. So it's kind of like all my past jobs combined," Ms. Newland said. "As I'm teaching I keep talking, kind of the Bob Ross (the late host of "The Joy of Painting" on PBS) way of you have to talk while you work so they know what you're doing. And I will walk around the room and talk to people and make jokes about whatever song is playing, try to activate everybody to get involved with each other so we can all have a good time."
Using acrylic paints, brushes and canvases and wearing an apron, all provided by Brush It Off, participants can choose such topics as a sunflower, a rooster, a teacup and a butterfly and paint away with the aid of careful, step-by-step instructions. A calendar on the website ( www.brush-it-off.com) shows the number of days for each designated subject.
Opening times for Brush It Off in December are: 6:30 p.m. Wednesdays through Saturdays; and 2 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays. In addition to scheduled classes, private parties, special events and fundraisers, Brush It Off plans to start "open paint" sessions from 2 to 6 p.m. on specific weekdays, as well as taking the business on the road to senior centers, retirement homes, libraries and schools (minus the bar, of course).

Finding God's activity in the midst of our questions is a key discipline for ministers in context. What can be surprising is just how basic the reflective questions can be. Often times, the who, what, where, why, when, and how questions will lead to deep reflective praxis that unleashes remarkable evidence of a creative and redeeming God stirring in amongst everyday episodes of our lives. Many students are considering the work of practical theologians as they engage in ministry sites through contextual learning at Luther. A key commitment in the field of practical theology is that God is a minister inviting us into this calling in and through relational encounters. As ministers in context, our key work is to faithfully reflect upon our ministry experiences through key questions, and to respond faithfully in light of our creative and redemptive God. Richard Osmer, professor of practical theology at Princeton, has carved a pathway or "hermeneutical circle" that equips ministers with helpful questions that quickly submerges one below the surface. With this discipline, one will acquire an astute awareness of place, social factors, and the need to respond to situations with integrity and thoughtfulness. From Osmer's Practical Theology:
Another way of translating the above process, is by using common parlance or questions such as the following to guide one in the reflective process: What happened (descriptive)? Why did it happen (interpretive)? What should be happening (normative)? What action will be taken going forward (pragmatic)? Vested with these questions, the minister in context has opportunities for engaging in robust and transformative ministry relationships. Inviting others into these questions becomes a discipline that enlightens and informs for the greater good as well.
For more engaging texts in the field of practical theology, check out http://www.patheos.com/blogs/faithforward/2014/07/practical-theology-sounds-like-mysticis/ recently featuring Luther Seminary professor Andrew Root's work Christopraxis, which is a deeper look into the art and practice of practical theology.

Post subject: wmpoweroff does not actually shut down comp - win does
Hello All,
This is minor, but I believe I read in one of the blogs that BK cares
about it.
When I use wmpoweroff it shuts down to the point of giving me a
Power down. message and then leaves it for me to finish the job.
My windows xp pro ( sp2 ) actually shuts down the comp.
Is there a way to find out what win is doing?
I have switched to castle desktop - I like it better.

Post subject: Incomplete shutdown
That happens here too on my not-so-new PCs (more than three years old), also with many previous Puppy versions; not 1.08 which powers off perfectly. It's one thing I'm actually most curious about.
This also happens with some other Linux distros, the good side being the possible betting about complete shutoff on an untested PC...
Ok, not really a problem; however, when one shows Puppy to friends on their machine, it may somewhat spoil the picture.

acpi=force solves the shutdown issue -so thank you for that.
As to the rest - not so sage!
"Shutdown problem yielded 246 matches in Search."
1. I believe it was clear from my post that I didn't even know whether
this was the way Puppy was intended to work or not - why would I
search "shutdown problem"?
2. That is 8 pages of thread starts - 3 of the threads on the first page
have over a hundred replies each - one has over 300. I have spent
many hours reading the forum. I haven't come across the fix you
recommended, or a clear explanation of the acpi parameter.
"Surely everybody knows by now to set acpi=force?!"
I successfully got Puppy 3.01 running early December 2007. No
previous Linux experience, about a year on the internet. I am
learning as quickly as I am able.
Again, thank you for the fix,

Yep, this works. It should appear as an option in the boot menu: surely there are more Puppy users than just GeoW and me who settle with an incomplete shutdown, accept it as a bit of "salt in life", and would never think to search the forum for a fix.

Believe me, there have been many discussions about this 'feature'. It seems to be Slack-/Puppy- and chipset- dependent. I set my Search to 6mnths. I mentioned it within the last few weeks, as I'd raised it with Dougal, who had considered writing it into the code permanently, but was unsure whether it might have some adverse consequences for some systems.
Always works.

Post subject: Intel sound and shutdown problem/Can Barry use wireless hub?
A known problem with the eeePC is that sound_intel_hda (the device driver) had to be rmmod'ed for shutdown to be completed. It's erratic, however, and is known to negate the effectiveness of the "acpi=force" parameter.
@Barry: As to testing wireless scripts, you have wireless-capable laptops, but would you have some use for a wireless hub? (I read about your daughter's new Internet connection.) Linksys should be an inexpensive wireless hub, and readers can pitch in via Paypal should you need one for testing.

Well, you have a choice about shut down: either type acpi=force at the beginning, or use the power switch at the end. What most people want is to have to do neither!

Hi Barry,
thanks for adding me in... Dougal just wrote me and I am looking forward to developing networking.
Regarding your question:
When a newbie starts up Puppy and wants to connect to a WLAN, is it straightforward or is there some possible confusion in the steps?
I would say: to me, it was logical after reading into the code. (The code is the strong part here. Thank you again for this one.)
- The button "use this profile" definitely should
it also (feeling of 'loosing' data)
- scanning and displaying of available networks should take place automatically, because if network is not available via `iwlist $INTERFCE scan` user will not be able to connect to it anyway (and this is what he/she probably wants)
- selecting a network in the dropdown menu should load it. (This is the usual behaveiour)
Does the choice of different tools itself cause confusion?
I think Interface setup should be separated from (wireless) network setup. Today when I want to run the network wizard I have to go through the interface setup every time. Just put a check in the wireless wizard if Interface has already been setup - with an option to re-run it.

Post subject: acpi=force - strange side effects
Subject description: boot lockup, twisted mouse
wmpoweroff was not completely shutting down my comp
Sage said, on this thread acpi=force was the fix.
It works ( on pup 2.12, 3.01, & 3.97 ), so it is now on every
kernel line in my menu.lst. Shutdown always works.
However, since I started using it, sometimes on bootup
my comp will lock up. It says:
Uncompressing Linux... Ok, booting the kernel.
and it stops there - with a flashing cursor on the next line.
I have not found a key combination that will break out of this.
I need to hold in the power button for a while, get a complete
shutdown, and try again. Usually, the second try works.
Unfortunately, I haven't been able to reproduce this dependably;
it remains random, but I never saw this before using acpi=force.
The other, even stranger behavior, I have seen is a twisted mouse.
Sometimes, after one of the boot lockups and recovery, my mouse
comes up twised - if I push the mouse away, instead of going up
the screen the cursor goes to the right. To move up i move the
mouse to the left. This will go away, but not necessarily after only
one reboot.
I don't know if these are technically Dingo Alpha 7 problems as they
will occur in any version, but they do also occur in DA7.
I have no clue about either of these.

Post subject:
Artefacts tend to occur with most systems/OSes. Sometimes they are very difficult to track down, especially if they are irreproducible by other folks - as the BIG man constantly reminds us. If removing acpi=force solves the problem, why not remove it? Then perhaps the machine won't shutdown?!
In the trade, most odd goings on are fixed by swapping HW rather than rigorous diagnosis. Could try changing the mouse in this case? Another reason to avoid proprietary junk - be sure to build your own, then changing components is a doddle.
Addendum: Yes, there is one particular brand of mouse and one version of Puppy that creates havoc. I have experienced it myself a long while ago. There was a discussion somewhere here about it, but not recently. The advice is always the same - change the HW that is playing sillyB s and see if that changes anything.
For the record, there have been other distro mice combinations that have given me grief, but that has also been the case with keyboards (rarely, except USB), sound cards, on-board video cards, cameras, webcams, printers..... I'm sure you get the picture.

An appeals court rules a medical emergency trumped the need for a warrant in the search of a Beverly restaurant owner's purse that turned up illegal drugs.
The state Appeals Court has ruled that a warrantless search of a Beverly restaurant owner's pocketbook after a medical call to the restaurant was legal.
The decision reverses a district court judge's ruling that said the search, which turned up illegal drugs in the pocketbook, was improper.The case will now go back to district court for adjudication.
The case revolves around a May 24, 2006 medical call to the Something Different restaurant at Beverly Airport. Police Officer Jim McGinnis went there for the report of an unconscious woman, who was McCarthy. He found her thrashing on the floor, slurring her words and unable to communicate well when he arrived. McGinnis called for EMTs.
When the EMTs arrived they put McCarthy into a chair and said she is seemed as though she were suffering from a drug overdose. They asked McGinnis if he knew what she had taken. He didn't.
McGinnis saw a woman's handbag several feet from McCarthy and searched the bags for drugs to help EMTs treat McCarthy.
Inside he found two marijuana cigarettes and two amber-colored vials with cocaine inside. McGinnis showed the drugs to the EMTs and he seized its contents and she was later charged with drug possession.
McCarthy's attorney, Jennifer Koiles, had argued the evidence from McGinnis' search should be suppressed.
Salem District Court Judge Dunbar Livingston agreed, saying the drug evidence seized during the search of her handbag couldn't be used against McCarthy.Prosecutor Kenneth Steinfield appealed that decision.
The Appeals Court justices, in a ruling issued on April 24, said there's no dispute that McGinnis searched the handbag without probable cause and it would have typically been considered an invalid, warrantless search.
But the U.S. Constitution and state Declaration of Rights allows searches in an emergency to protect life or property.
The justices said they looked at the situation in the context of what McGinnis saw "and not with 20-20 hindsight."
"In such medical emergencies, time is of the essence, requiring swift action," the justices wrote in the decision, concluding McGinnis' actions were allowable.
Koiles said she believed Livingston had all the facts of the case in front of him and made the correct decision.
"We're both incredible disappointed," Koiles said.

Revision as of 15:46, December 27, 2007
A subdeacon (or sub-deacon) is the highest of the minor orders of clergy in the Church. This order is higher than the reader and lower than the deacon.
The subdeacon's essential role is to assist the bishop during a hierarchical Divine Liturgy (a Divine Liturgy at which a bishop is present and presiding) by vesting him, holding his service book, carrying his staff, presenting him with the dikiri and trikiri, etc. There is a special service for the ordination of a subdeacon, although in contemporary practice an acolyte or a reader may receive the bishop's blessing to vest and act as a subdeacon, either for a particular occasion or permanently. The main reason for this practice lies in the fact that the canons (e.g., Apostolic canon 26 et al.) prohibit subdeacons to marry after their ordination (just like deacons and priests). This latter stipulation has sometimes led to the reservation of the formal ordination service to candidates for the priesthood, although this is not universal.
Although the canons stipulate the subdeacons may not marry after their ordination to the subdiaconate, in modern practice, some churches allow them to marry. (As with many canons, the way this one is applied varies.)
The subdeacon is vested in a sticharion with an orarion tied around his waist, up over his shoulders (forming an X-shaped cross in back), and with the ends hanging down in front, tucked under the section around the waist. Like readers, subdeacons are permitted to wear a cassock, although many only do so when attending services.
When there is no bishop present, a subdeacon will take the role of acolyte, assisting the priest during religious services in the altar.

Sustainable apparel from 100% organic cotton
Loomstate - Rogan Gregory & Scott Hahn
"T-shirt" and words like "community" and "sustainability" don't often come up in the same sentence. But NYC-based Loomstate have always put materials, the farmers, and the planet first in the construction of every piece of apparel they produce. The original vision was all about creating the first "transparently produced t-shirt" with all organic cotton. This fall nothing has changed—there's just more. Tapered joggers in French terry, simple yet detailed hoodies, and a perfect-fitting selvage chambray. These are the kinds of fall classics that are flexible enough for a weekend out on the Catskill Mountains in our hometown of Woodstock, New York, or out at a watering hole here in Brooklyn. Loomstate: upstate or downstate, take your pick.

President Obama doesn't nominate anyone to fill the position for more than four years, making it the longest time any department ever went without a permanent one.
Five months after Clinton leaves office, Obama nominates Steve Linick, who is confirmed as the new permanent inspector general three months later, on September 30, 2013.
In 2015, the Wall Street Journal will write, "The lack of a confirmed inspector general raises questions about oversight of the department under Mr. Obama and Mrs. Clinton. The department has been criticized for its failure to gather and archive the email records of Mrs. Clinton and other officials and for responses to public-record requests that lawmakers and advocacy groups say were insufficient… It isn't clear whether Mrs. Clinton had any role in the lack of a nomination."
The acting inspector general during Clinton's term, Harold Geisel, is banned from taking the job permanently due to conflict of interest rules. Matthew Harris, a professor who researches inspectors general, will later comment, "It's a convenient way to prevent oversight." Acting inspectors general "don't feel empowered; they don't have the backing of their people. They're in a position where they could be removed at any moment."
Representative Ed Royce (R), chair of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, will later suggest, "A permanent IG [inspector general] would have objected to [Clinton's] efforts to circumvent congressional oversight by keeping her emails off the books."
The White House has yet to explain why it waited so long to nominate a replacement. (The Wall Street Journal, 3/24/2015)

It has long been my desire to have an original painted portrait of my great-uncle Sam to accompany the book project which is a companion to this website. I turned to my colleague, friend and skilled New England artist Jack Skinner to assist in this endeavor. Over nearly two years, Jack rendered this astonishing work in acrylic paint based on some old photos and painstaking historical research.
This work pictures 1st Sgt. Sam Avery seated in front of the door to a French farmhouse in the Vosges region of France, his Springfield 1903 rifle propped behind him. On the front of Sam's uniform blouse can be seen ribbons for the World War I Victory Medal with 5 Campaign Stars and the Mexican Border Campaign. Below the ribbons is the Sharpshooter's Medal. On the left sleeve is found the 26th Division's "YD" shoulder patch, 1st Sergeant's chevrons, and Overseas Service Stripes (1 for every 6 months overseas) along with a "Sammy Star" indicating Sam's arrival among the first 100,000 AEF troops in France. In Sam's lap is shown his M1917 helmet bearing the 103rd Infantry helmet mark.

Spring Peas
When it comes to fertilizing vegetables, you can group them into 3 categories: light, moderate and heavy feeders. Peas, beans, radishes, turnips and mustard greens among the light feeders. Give them starter fertilizer when you plant; if they're growing in compost-enriched soil, they probably won't need to be fed again. For best results, do a soil test before planting to determine what kind of amendments and fertilizer your soil needs. Shown here: Snow Pea 'Green Beauty'

Bright Yellow Kids Room With Double Beds
This bright, inspiring kids room stuns with high vaulted ceilings, lots of natural light from the sliding glass door and double windows, and pops of color throughout. Double beds are outfitted with striped red and white bedding, paired with the navy and wooden boat oars and nearby corner cushioned chair.
A Stylish Work Environment
Like the kitchen, Gladys' office is one of the home's more toned-down spaces. The office may not house as many objects as the living room or family room, but what it does share with both of those rooms is a color palette of white and black with pops of red. Despite her bold choices in texture, pattern and size, Gladys admits that when it comes to color, she is, "mostly drawn to neutral tones." It's the understated nature of this palette that keeps the visual effect of her eclectic style under control while making all of the rooms feel related.
To the Max
A self-described "eclectic maximalist," Gladys puts her design abilities on full display in her living room. The combination of modern furnishings, vintage accessories and quirky objects draw the eye in a dozen directions at once, promising new delights at every glance. Gladys is quick to name the space as one of her favorites in the home, largely because it houses some of her most treasured pieces. "It's a collection of special objects and happy memories," she says.
A Crash Update
When the couple first entered the space, it took their breath away. And not in a good way. "Everything looked like 1984," Gladys recalls. "Wallpaper, kitchen, cabinetry — the basement was completely carpeted [and there were] dropped ceilings." A desire to renovate all at once led to Gladys and Frank living and sleeping in the upstairs living room for several months as renovations took place everywhere else. Once the moment arrived to design a proper living room, however, Gladys made up for lost time.
Walking the Line
Gladys Tay is a woman of many interests. The Singapore native and current resident of St. Paul, Minnesota explores a few of them in-depth through her eponymous website, which focuses on an eclectic combo of cooking, art and vintage furnishings. For the past two-and-a-half years, she's shared a 3-story, split level house with her husband, Frank. After an intense period of renovation, Gladys' strong design sense and love of objects combined to turn the 1800-square-foot space into a wonderful temple of maximalist design.
Pink and Blue Eclectic Breakfast Nook

There are going to be a lot of sad children in Michigan today. In fact, the volume of tears may be so great as to make the lake rise. And they're all crying because the big mean lawmakers aren't going to give them iPods after all.
Seriously though, hot on the heels of yesterday's story about Apple influencing Michigan state representatives comes the news that the children of Michigan won't be getting iPods. According to this latest report from the Detroit Free Press, the lawmakers will be paying Apple $1,702 for their trips in order to "end this public perception that something is misguided." Also, Michigan representatives are now claiming that the $38 million that was added to the budget for iPods wasn't really for iPods at all.
Taking a leaf out of Kansas City's playbook, they're now claiming that the money would have been spent on "teacher development on ways to make technology as much of the classroom environment as a chalkboard." According to the representatives, there was never a plan to provide iPods at all, despite an iPod being involved prominently in the press conference. Instead of sacking up and taking responsibility, though, they're claiming that the press is at fault for picking up on the story and pointing out how bad of an idea it was. And now, the entire $38 million that would have gone to classroom technology may be in jeopardy, all because of those nasty reporters and their words.
For those of you who don't speak politician, here's what the above translates into: "Apparently our idea sucked, so we're going to pretend it was a mistake and blame the press. Also, the weather in California was really nice, but we're going to pay for our trip because we got busted and don't want to have to actually apologize."
Honestly, I'm not particularly convinced that iPods weren't part of the plan, or that they money would have gone to classroom technology. Even if the $38 million for technology is in jeopardy, there are probably better things to worry about, like a $600 million deficit. Let this be a lesson to other lawmakers out there: make sure you have the money to implement the plans that have been "suggested" to you. And pay for your own flights next time.

The book publisher O'Reilly wrote an interesting blog post entitled "State of the computer book market" which included a breakdown of programming books by programming language. We criticized their study before because it does not count books like OCaml for Scientists, which has been the world's best-selling book about OCaml since its publication, and also because they consider only units sold and not cost.
Wiley have gathered sales information about our book F# for Scientists and it is interesting to see how well F# is doing compared to the figures for general programming book sales last year that were quoted by O'Reilly.
A direct comparison shows that the 1,225 copies of F# for Scientists sold in Q3 2008 immediately places the F# programming language a long way ahead of all of the conventional functional languages (i.e. excluding C# and Javascript). The best selling conventional functional language in Q1 2007 was Lisp with only 557 books sold. Moreover, the Amazon sales rank of the book Expert F# is consistently slightly higher than F# for Scientists. So the total number of F# books being sold is likely to be at least 2,500 per quarter.
According to these results, the F# programming language is already far more popular than Ada, OCaml, C, Haskell, Scheme, Lisp and Groovy.

Soul at Work: Spiritual Leadership in Organizations
By Margaret Benefiel MA '80, Seabury Press, New York, 2005.
Soul at Work describes the way organizations could do business if they incorporated spirit in the workday. Drawing on examples ranging from Southwest Airlines to the band U2, Margaret Benefiel describes the role that awareness of the soul, or spirituality, can play in leadership and organizational life. The book looks at the role of individuals and the organizational reality in which they work.
Eyes of the Mirror
By Margaret Emerson MA '01, Artichoke Press, Bayside, Calif., 2005.
Margaret Emerson's autobiography moves back and forth between South Korea, where she taught English and studied T'ai Chi for two years, and the Pacific Northwest, where she earned a master's degree in writing, taught T'ai Chi, and almost died from type-1 diabetes. Emerson uses the two locations to reveal a portrait of her whole self, from small daily tasks to yearnings to her nightly dreams. Today, Emerson lives in Humboldt County, Calif., where she writes and teaches T'ai Chi.
Fins, Finns and Astorians
By Greg Jacob (English faculty), CPH Press, Astoria, Ore., 2006.
By 1890, half of Astoria's population could trace its roots in Finland. The area's booming fishing industry attracted these immigrants, who made the town their own. Greg Jacob's small book, 59 pages, tell the story of these hardworking people, who purchased their own cannery in 1897. Union Fishermen's Cooperative Packing Company stayed in business until almost 1950. Jacob grew up in Astoria and his brother, Robert, developed and owns Cannery Pier Hotel built on the Union Cooperative's old pier.

By Suzanne Matson '81, W.W. Norton & Company, New York, 2005.
Julie Prince, a wealthy student at Wellesley, abandons her life to join a group of tree-sitters in the forests of Oregon. At first it's romantic, but as her boyfriend moves toward violent acts of sabotage, Julie must choose between love and her own sense of right and wrong. Suzanne Matson, who teaches at Boston College, also wrote the novels A Trick of Nature and The Hunger Moon.
Superpower on Crusade: The Bush Doctrine in U.S. Foreign Policy
By Mel Gurtov (political science and international studies faculty), Lynne Rienner Publishers, Boulder, Colo., 2006.
Mel Gurtov first traces the sources of U.S. missionary and expansionist tendencies and highlights their particular manifestations in the current Bush administration. Then turning to the war on Iraq, he focuses on real vs. stated objectives. Subsequent chapters examine U.S. policy with regard to such issues as nuclear proliferation, international law, development assistance, the environment, and human rights.
Rebels: Youth and the Cold War Origins of Identity
By Leerom Medovoi (English faculty), Duke University Press, Durham, N.C., 2005.
Holden Caulfield, Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry, and James Dean—these and other symbols of youthful rebellion were more than entertainment figures in postwar America. Leerom Medovoi argues that these "bad boys" stood for dissent and defiance at a time when the United States was looking for emancipatory figures to represent its anti-authoritarian, democratic self-image.

The debt reckoning has arrived: Total debt owed now approaches $60 trillion while Fed wrestles with interest rate confidence game.
Some people may be oblivious to the recent historical interest rate moves being experienced in the bond markets. Many on Wall Street probably assumed that the Fed had an unlimited ability to pull the wool over the eyes of the American public. Yet the reaction with interest rates concludes an interesting chapter in American central banking policy. The Fed can no longer preach for a lower interest rate. After the brutal reaction, the Fed has softened its rhetoric on the "taper" of quantitative easing even though there is really no evidence showing the Fed is tapering anything at all. The quick reversal in interest rates signifies a strong reaction by the market. It is fascinating to see how much outside money is now flowing back into the US to purchase stocks, real estate, and other real tangible goods. In other words, global investors are now demanding payment for all that cheap credit lent out. The era of cheap debt is now reversing and the piper is demanding to be paid.

Cameron University student Adrienne Wells won the Rollin H. Baker Award for best undergraduate presentation in classical mammalogy at the 32nd annual meeting of the Texas Society of Mammalogists. Wells, of Lawton, is majoring in chemistry and biology.
Her presentation, "Modeling of the Vision System of the Kangaroo Rat (DIPODOMYS ORDII) and Implications for UV-Communication," focuses on a research project on which Wells has been assisting Brandon McDonald, a faculty member in the Department of Biological Sciences and Dr. Joe Macedonia of Florida Southern College. For the project, the research team created a mathematical model using data about the retina of the kangaroo rat's eye, the reflectance of UV-light from their body markings, and the normal sunlight and moonlight intensity in their natural environment to make predictions concerning how and what the kangaroo rat sees and whether it is likely to be one of few mammals known to use UV-vision.
This is the second presentation on the topic for which Wells has been honored. In November 2013, she was recognized for having the top oral presentation in the zoology section during the 2013 Collegiate Academy competition held by the Oklahoma Academy of Sciences.

Just when I thought we might escape the summer without a scorching day in sight, the mercury climbed to over 90 yesterday. Honestly, as much as I tend to wilt in that kind of heat, I'm hardly at liberty to complain since it's the middle of August - just the time of year when you expect that kind of thing to happen.
We're getting super excited around here about visitors arriving tomorrow from the south. (Hmmm... maybe they're bringing the heat with them). I hear they're bringing loads of homegrown vegetables with them. Including okra! I never realized what a southern staple okra is and that I'd never be able to find it around here. I don't even see it frozen at the grocery store. Not that frozen okra could ever compare to the fresh stuff.

Love your dress!
It's funny you wrote about ocras, only a few days ago,I was thinking about New Orleans & what I would do if I went there one day and remembered gumbos thickened with ocras in The South,(I had heard about them before )and was curious about tasting them!Are they gooey too?
Okra is commonly available here in Turkey and often cooked in Summer, but as it tends to be gooey when not that fresh and properly made, it can be a nightmare for some! I have only recently been less prejudiced against it and tried some good ones and are they tasty!

Four years ago, Barack Obama was elected president because Americans wanted a change from business-as-usual politics. Two years ago, the Republicans were swept into power in the U.S. House of Representatives in part because business-as-usual was continuing under the new president.
Now we have the Occupy Wall Street protests on the left and the tea party on the right, both crying for a change from business-as-usual politics. But Maryland politicians still haven't gotten the message.
The governor's redistricting plan is a snake pit of gerrymandering intended to ensure incumbent Democrats keep their jobs and maybe even pick up another Congressional seat.
When are Maryland politicians going to learn that we're tired of business-as-usual politics? In the next election, I'm going to vote for candidates who are more interested in doing their jobs than in keeping their jobs.

A recent post in the online journal "First Things" asks the perplexing question, "Are the Republicans the True Marxists?" The question is perplexing for obvious reasons, but once explained, makes perfect sense for equally obvious reasons. The question is posed to us in the aftermath of Governor Romney's now infamous "gifts" comment, in which he doubled down on his more infamous "47%" comment.
Whether or not the President won on a platform of "gift" giving is irrelevant. It may very well be true, but it does not change the fact that Governor Romney's platform offered voters nothing. Governor Romney is a good man, and a much better politician than most give him credit. But he is a businessman, whose primary virtue is efficiency. Efficiency is certainly a virtue our government could use more of, but it should never be its primary virtue. Republicans must learn that a platform of only efficiency and fragmented opposition to progressivism is not enough. Voters will rightly never vote for a platform of mere efficiency, for efficiency is the primary virtue of tyrants.
It is always much more efficient to dissolve Republics than it is to manage them. Caesar and Napoleon had efficiency in common. I've always thought that there is something terribly materialistic in desiring a businessman politician. I tend to agree much more with the teachers of old who desired a philosopher king. The creators of the great Republics were philosophers; their destroyers were generals – another class of men whose primary virtue is efficiency.
Efficiency as a primary concern is materialism. It is materialistic to place 47% of the country's population in a class based on what they produce for society. It is Marxist to believe that humans are distinguished by what they produce, and it is utterly damnable to think that the 47% are like Nietzchean last men who hold back the producers of society.
It is a curious phenomenon how this sort of thought entered the Conservative mainstream. I suspect it has something to do with the following quote:
"In proportion to the mental energy he spent, the man who creates a new invention receives but a small percentage of his value in terms of material payment, no matter what fortune he makes, no matter what millions he earns. But the man who works as a janitor in the factory producing that invention, receives an enormous payment in proportion to the mental effort that his job requires of him. And the same is true of all men between, on all levels of ambition and ability. The man at the top of the intellectual pyramid contributes the most to all those below him, but gets nothing except his material payment, receiving no intellectual bonus from others to add to the value of his time. The man at the bottom who, left to himself, would starve in his hopeless ineptitude, contributes nothing to those above him, but receives the bonus of all of their brains. Such is the nature of the "competition" between the strong and the weak of the intellect. Such is the pattern of "exploitation" for which you have damned the strong."
The above quote is not Nietzsche deriding the last men. It is the words of John Galt in his famous speech in Atlas Shrugged. In his final months, Christopher Hitchens observed that "It's no fun to appreciate to the full the truth of the materialist proposition that I don't have a body, I am a body." If all you are is a body, it only follows that your body is worth what it can produce. From this perspective it is quite obvious why Conservative activists, when asked if society should allow a man without health insurance to die, screamed "Yes!"
Conservatives should embrace the ideal of the common good. The words "common good" may cause hardcore Randian libertarians to cringe, but the greater Conservative/libertarian tradition should embrace the ideal. The common good is not some collectivist utopian abstract; it is the purpose and object of civil society. It has been said that we lost this past election because of social issues. I argue that we lost this past election because we had no comprehensive social agenda. By believing that our only goal is to oppose the centralized power of the state, Conservatives have somehow lost our greatest intellectual ideals. Jefferson was an agrarian, and against centralized power everywhere, not just on Capitol Hill. Kuyper's sphere sovereignty can, I think, meld very nicely with American Federalism. Chesterton and Belloc wrote that the protection of private property is the only way to preserve the independent family.
If Conservatives are to ever win again, we must first eject materialism from our ranks. We can do this by doing the most Conservative thing possible: Going back. Back to the great thinkers of our tradition. In our movement, Burke must be a more recognizable name than Rand.
If all we offer voters is a choice between two materialisms, the one that offers communal solidarity with the state is obviously preferable to the one that offers individualism in the shadow of corporations. In other words, if voters are to choose between dying with the state, or dying alone on a hospital bed, they will always choose the state.
We have so much more to offer.

With a massive federal stimulus program running at full speed, the US economy barely generated any private sector jobs in May – just 41,000 to be exact.
The tepid job numbers raised a sobering question: Is that $787 billion stimulus not big enough, or is it not working at all?
The answer may be neither of those extremes. For now, Congress is moving toward neither a massive new boost in federal stimulus nor a retreat from the Recovery Act that President Obama signed early in 2009.
But the debate about what to do – and whether other options should be considered – is a loud one for both economic and political reasons.
Politically, Mr. Obama's approval ratings and this fall's elections hinge crucially on jobs and the federal budget, not just on things like oil-spill response or health-care reform. Among economists, there's uncertainty both about where the economy is headed and about what policies might help.
What's at stake is whether the recovery from recession will be so weak that unemployment remains high for years. The economy appears to be starting to add jobs after two years of decline. But in May, some 411,000 new jobs were temporary census positions. In the private sector, small employers are still largely on the sidelines.
The economy could even fall back into recession later this year, although most economists don't expect such a "double dip" to occur.
"My best guess is that we'll have a continued recovery, but it won't feel terrific," Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke told ABC News on June 7. "It's not going to be fast enough to put back 8 million people who lost their jobs within a few years."
Some say more fiscal stimulus is the obvious answer, pumping money into a still-slack economy. Others say the answer is the opposite – to start controlling deficit spending by the government, to create a better climate for economic growth. A middle option is some version of "stay the course."
"We Need Bigger Deficits Now!" is the rallying cry that Brad DeLong, an economist and former Clinton administration official, used as a blog headline this month.
The government has low borrowing costs right now, he argued, "and because of high unemployment the benefits of boosting government purchases and cutting taxes right now are exceptionally large."
Other economists, especially on the political left, agree that more stimulus is needed. Otherwise, they argue, the economy will have a needlessly high jobless rate for several years.
Yes, deficit spending will eventually need to be addressed, they say. But low interest rates signal that bond investors are not worried about that now.
What kind of stimulus would help? Some call for new spending that creates jobs, especially in areas where the nation needs to make long-term investments anyway. Others say that more tax cuts (a big part of the initial Obama stimulus) would do the most to spur private-sector activity and optimism.
The theory behind fiscal stimulus is that, in times when the economy is weak, a boost in the form of public spending or tax breaks will help revive overall demand. At such times, proponents say, each dollar spent by the government will boost gross domestic product (GDP) even more as the stimulus ripples through the economy in a so-called multiplier effect.
Critics say that the size of those multipliers may in fact be negligible. "All that is left is a higher level of government debt, creating slower economic growth," economist Lacy Hunt, of Hoisington Investment Management in Houston, warned in a report last year.
This view holds sway with many Republican lawmakers. And Europe's crisis over sovereign debt burdens has made Democrats wary of adding to federal deficits.
"Markets are beginning to perceive that the large debt burdens in various countries worldwide could very well derail the global economic recovery," says a recent report by House Budget Committee Republicans. "The U.S. has not been immune to this turmoil, as the stock market has fallen 10 percent from its most recent peak."
When Mr. Bernanke testified to Congress on June 9, he faced repeated questions about how the US can avoid a Greece-style debt crisis – although some Democrats also asked him to talk about the risks of withdrawing stimulus too soon.
A year after the Recovery Act began, the new money from government hasn't translated into rising private-sector incomes. (When government transfers are left out, personal income fell last year and remains near its late-2009 low point.)
If some want more stimulus and others less, the prevailing view in Washington appears to be a middle one. That means no big cutbacks in federal spending right away, while any additional stimulus efforts could be small in scale.
Key arbiters of stimulus policy now are moderate Democrats in the Senate. On June 16, they sided with Republicans in a vote that effectively killed a bill designed to support the economy via business tax breaks, help for the long-term unemployed, and aid to states. That sent backers of the measure scurrying to scale back its cost, which by some estimates would have increased the federal deficit by about $80 billion over the next decade.
In early 2009, lawmakers could agree on a big stimulus. Since then, times have changed.
The word "stimulus" isn't wildly popular with voters, so new money is being considered in small chunks, and often with future spending cuts attached.
But by one tally, some $61 billion in stimulus add-ons have already been passed, and another $189 billion are under review. (The $787 billion cost of the original Recovery Act has also expanded to a current estimate of about $860 billion.)
"I'd sure feel better if we had a little more stimulus," says Gus Faucher of Moody's Economy.com in West Chester, Pa. But with federal deficits rising, he favors the kind of modest stimulus Congress is considering, plus steps to lay the groundwork for curbing deficits.
Right or wrong, that approach may fit the public mood. Jobs are the top concern, and one recent poll found a majority of Americans believe the stimulus has helped.
But Americans are also worried about unchecked deficit spending.
"We need to show that within a few years we're going to go clearly to a path where that debt-to-GDP ratio is stable," Bernanke told lawmakers. But for now, "the recovery is still pretty fragile and may need more assistance."
Don't call it a stimulus package: Obama wants another $50 billion
Jobs numbers for May squelch some economic optimism
In Ohio, Obama says his policies have created jobs. Is that true?

Former White House lawyer's attempted murder case going to trial
New Canaan man seeks increased freedom
STAMFORD -- The case of a New Canaan man and former Bush administration lawyer accused of choking and beating his wife with a flashlight appears headed for trial.
State's Attorney David Cohen announced during a brief hearing at state Superior Court last week that he and the defense attorney for John Michael Farren have not been able to reach an amicable resolution to the case and asked that it be put on the jury list.
Judge Richard Comerford granted the request, but did not set a date for jury selection.
When the two sides are unable to agree on resolving the case, the sticking point often involves the amount of jail time demanded by the prosecutor and defense attorney or client's unwillingness to agree with the figure.
Farren, 58, served as deputy counsel to President George W. Bush from 2007 to 2009 and as an undersecretary of commerce under President George H.W. Bush from 1989 to 1992.
He was charged in January 2010 with attempted murder, first-degree strangulation and first-degree assault following an alleged domestic dispute between him and his wife at their New Canaan home.
After pushing a panic button in their bedroom where the dispute over a pending divorce erupted, Farren's wife escaped with her two children in a car to a neighbor's home.
The woman, who was severely injured in the assault, spent an undisclosed amount of time in the hospital. The couple's divorce trial ended in January and a judge has until mid-June to render a decision.
After spending nearly six months in jail on $2 million bond, Farren last June was released on $750,000 bond to the Institute for Living in Hartford, where he spent nearly a month in in-patient treatment.
He moved to his sister's home in West Hartford and was outfitted with a GPS bracelet and not allowed to go outside the home, his attorney, Eugene Riccio said.
As part of his agreement of release, he may only leave the home to visit a doctor or attorney or other experts in preparation of his case, for court appearances, to attend religious services and to visit a law library in Hartford. He is not allowed to have contact with his wife or children.
Riccio said he was looking to expand Farren's freedoms while on home confinement that would allow him outside the home for exercise purposes and within a 20-mile limit of the home for shopping excursions and errands. The court did not take up the matter and no date has yet been set for his next court appearance.

Lawrence Leach was born in England in 1589 and died in Salem, Massachusetts in 1662. He was one of the "Old Planters", who came to Cape Ann before Roger Conant and Endicott settled Salem. His farm and land are located in what is now the city of Beverly. Governor Craddock wrote a letter to John Endicott in 1629: "We desire you to take notice of one Lawrence Leech who we haue found a painfull & carefull, man, and we doubt not butt hee will continue his diligence; let him haue deserving respect."
Lawrence's son, Robert, my 9th great grandfather, settled in Manchester, Massachusetts. He was given land by his father in 1639, and he died intestate with a wife, Alice, and two sons before June 1674 according to Essex Quartly Court records. According to Robert Charles Anderson in his sketch of Robert Leach in The Great Migration Begins: "In 1924 F. Phelps Leach published a genealogy of this family which claimed ten children for the immigrant [Lawrence Leach]. This author inserted in to the family of Lawrence Leach many persons of the same name from all parts of New England (and even some from old England) who could not have been his children. The Robert each presented in this volume as son of Lawrence is a chimaera, created by mixing records for Robert Leach of Charlestown and Robert Leach of Manchester, the later of who was the son of the immigrant."
Estate of Robert Leach of Manchester
This writing is to inform the Court, that though Robert Leach late of Manchester died without perfecting his will, yet sometime beofre he died he declared in the presence of some neighbors as witness that his mind was "that after some legacies as follows were paid to his daughters, that is to say to his maried daughters: Sara and Elizabeth, fiue pounds apeece, to his daughter mary ten pounds & to his two youngest daughters: Bethia and Abigaile eight pounds apeece, that then his whole remaining estate should be left with his beloved wife, Alce Leach, & his two sons Samuell & Robert Leach to be equally proportioned amongst them.
"This is farther to certifie, that although this was the last will and testament of the aforesaid Robert Leach, yett upon farther consideration, Alce Leach the widdow & her two sones Samuell & Robert Leach have agreed within ourselves freely & Joyntly together, tomake an adition to these legacies out of our owne estates, as to the two eldest daughters, Sara & Elizabeth what they received from theire father, as theire portions, with the lagacies given them by theire father, in his last will & testamt: as aboue written, & the adition made there vunto by their mothr Alce Leach the widdow, & their brothers Samuell & Robt Leach is to amount to fifteene pounds appeece, to each of them they being married haveing received som portion alreddy with that then receiued & the legacies due by theire fathers last will & testament, with the adition made by theire mother, & brethren doth make up fifteen pounds apeece to Sara & Elizabeth, for the rest of the daughters, Mary, Bethiah, & Abigaile what theire father left hem as legacies in his last will & testament & the adition made by the widdow Alce Leach there mother, & Samuel & Robt: there brothers, comes to fifteene pounds apeece, to each of them: Mary, Bethiah & Abigiale.
"This farther to informe the Honrd Court wt is agreed upon within ourselves, alce Leach the widdow & her two sons Saml & Robt Leach, that Samuel and Robert Leach taking into consideration theire mothers condition, shee being left a widdow, wee haue consulted together for her comfortable subsisting, for som way to continue her maintenance in this her condition, And that ye widdow Alce Leach with her free consent hauing resigned her interest in said estate as left by her husband Robert Leach, in his last will & testament, the which her interest shee hath, resigned up to her sons Samuell & Robert Leach, upon condition as followeth, That Samll:& Robt Leach haue taken that whole estate, as left by our father Robt Leach late deceased in Manchester, upon the resignement of the widdow alce Leach our mother, haueing resigned up her interet in that estate soe left by our father into our hands in consideration wheareof wee the aforsd Samuell & Robert Leach, haue engaged to pay to our mother, the widdow Alce Leach, ten pounds by the yeare in such pay may be for her use & shee stands in need of, & the house left by our father where shee now lives with the stuff now belonging thereto is to remaine to her out of this esat: soe that the yearly pay ingaged by her sons to be pd her with the house & household stuff, is to maine to her if shee continue in a widdowes condition, but if shee marry then all the whole estate fals into the hands of her sons: Samuell & Robert Leach they to continue or ramaine ingage to paye, but fiue pounds by the yeare to there mother Alce Leach duering her lifetime.
"It is further to certifie that Samuell & Robert Leach doe freely consent that theire mother Alce leach the widdow shall reserve to herself out of the estate afore mentioned, shee to reserve to herselfe twenty pounds, without any exception made of condtions, only that when she dyes, shee to bequeath it to her children according as ashe please, vnto whome to bestow it vupon as legacies from herselfe.
"To that is heare agreed upon as afore mentined wee the pties aforesaid doe sett our hands."
