We are ever so close to September 2nd boys...I CAN"T FREAKIN WAIT. I needed to get on here and talk some college football. The Bucks are pretty much everyone's #1 to start the season. It's exciting. Personally, I don't care much for starting off the season at the top. I'd much rather finish there. People are always gunning for OSU, but being #1 is like being the only woman in a bar full of recently released convicts. I look at two or three games that make me nervous...
@ Texas. Vince Young is irreplacable, but it's still a talented Texas team. And it's in Austin
Penn St @ The 'Shoe. They lost quite a bit, but geez they have some great skill players on offense. Posluzny seems to be the type of guy that can single handedly keep his team in a game. Justin King has gamebreaking abilities as well.
@ Iowa. Ferentz is a great coach and Kinnick is a tough place to play. They will be looking for some revenge from that woodshed job last year.
After that, I don't see anything stopping them from running the table. Michigan? Paaaaaalease.

Sweating and body odor are facts of life for most people. Heavy perspiration and body odor can happen when you exercise, when you're too warm, or when you're nervous, anxious or under stress.
Your body has two main types of sweat glands, and they produce two very different types of sweat. Both types are odorless, but the type of sweat produced in your armpits and groin smells bad when it combines with bacteria found normally on your skin.
Unusual changes in sweating — either excessive perspiration (hyperhidrosis) or little or no perspiration (anhidrosis) — can be cause for concern. Likewise, changes in body odor may be a sign of a medical problem.
For normal sweating and body odor, however, lifestyle and home treatments can effectively manage your symptoms.

Today at Ethika Politika I offer an assessment of the phenomenon of globalization from the perspective of Orthodox Christian anthropology. In particular, I focus on the concept of sobornost in the thought of the Russian philosopher Vladimir Solovyov, writing,
Solovyov's account of the moral progress of humanity through globalization is rooted in the Russian idea of sobornost', which Christopher Marsh and Daniel P. Payne define as "the idea that human beings retain their freedom while participating in human society, and that human society is a participatory process through which human beings actualize themselves as unique hypostases [i.e. persons]." Accordingly, Solovyov writes that true society does not abolish the individual, but "subordination to society uplifts the individual" and "the independence of the individual lends strength to the social order" — an Orthodox parallel to subsidiarity.
I had raised the question of the similarity between sobornost and subsidiarity a few weeks ago during Fr. Michael Butler's Acton University talk on "Orthodoxy, Church, and State." I summarized his insight on the concept at the time, writing,
With the reforms of Tsar Peter the Great, however, the Church was literally made a department of the state [in Russia]. The inspiration for this, notably, was not symphonia but the European Protestant national Church model. While in this context the Russian Church still continued to carry out its functions in society, it had lost a great degree of autonomy. In the midst of this context, the Slavophile thinkers Alexei Khomiakov and Ivan Kireevsky reacted to this statist trend in Russian society by developing the theory of sobornost, inspired in part by the Russian word for "Catholic" in the Nicene Creed and inspired by the Orthodox Church's conciliar basis of authority.
As they framed it, the idea of sobornost placed the idea of sovereignty in the whole of a people. All human beings are interconnected, and each therefore deserves their own autonomy while, at the same time, [each] has a duty to serve all others…. Ultimately, sobornost at its best would be an Orthodox parallel to subsidiarity in which each level of society, all the way down to the individual, has a role to freely play for the common good and each has a duty to assist others for that end.
The question of similarities and differences between subsidiarity and sobornost has been on my mind for some time. There would seem to be clear parallels between the concepts that were coincidentally developed in their modern forms at nearly the same time, though among different traditions for somewhat different purposes.

Today's Lesson, LOTS of fun!Posted Monday, January 30, 2012, at 12:47 PM
This is going to be nearly my last blog for a few days. I work 2 days this week, then we are off to Las Vegas for
It starts on Friday, and we are taking horses up on Wednesday, setting everything up on Thursday. And I'll be photographing to my Heart's content during the event. This is a 'tribute' to Ray Hunt, and I'm honored/proud to be a part of it. We are driving up with Carolyn, Ray's wife, taking a horse for Jaton, Ray's Grandson.
We also have another secret that we are going to do, while there. Any guesses???? I doubt that game will last long!
Anyway, we do a group lesson on Sundays, at a great indoor arena, so weather isn't a factor. Thanks to Arlene Hoagland for her hospitality.
Here are some photos of some of the fun.
My daughter Jess, and adopted daughter Wendy, moms of Jilly and Al.
This the little pony who is the Mom of the filly we had this summer in Cascade. She had not been ridden til last week. This is her 3rd ride today. I believe she is going to be a super gentle kids horse.
My friend Kelley on Beamer, and Al on Marshmallow
Kelley is also Al's Aunt!
This is going to be Wayne's 1st ride on a friend's horse
Due to weather and lots of colds and flues, Jilly hasn't been able to ride for about 2 weeks. I do believe she happy to be up again! Looks like Marshmallow kind of likes her too
Jilly giving Austin a ride
TRULY, this IS the way a kid should look. I bet you're smiling now too.
We teach these kids to be relaxed and comfortable on their horses. He's comfy reaching back to pet her rump
Wendy and Al Barrel/Cone racing, but I think Wendy cheats and pushes Al back! A wise person once said, "If you're not cheating, you aren't trying hard enough!" !!!
Al, racing the cones, and Beamer looking at her like she's crazy!
Here is some proof that the little mare will be kid gentle. Third ride today, and Al is riding her. In my saddle, so she doesn't have stirrups
There is a bit of a spook, and Al knows how to kick her 'outta' gear and soothe her. We teach that when things are good, so when things aren't so good, they know what to do. And see Al's grin? She know's it all good.
And they are off and calm again
Austin and Beamer are going over a 'bridge', see the 'high step' of Beamer's left leg?
Yep, this Mare is going to be gentle, ...here is her 2nd kid on her 3rd ride. And then with my daughter, Cash's Mom, Katie. And Austin on Beamer.
Wendy sometimes likes to be a race horse jockey. But Marshmallow doesn't seem interested in speed!
Cash kind of likes riding with his Mommy!
Katie is in a kid saddle, so, no stirrups, but no matter. Off they go like the wind! This is the girl that had a horse from the time she walked. No kidding.
After riding, of course is play time
Al wanted to ride English. So, of course we make it happen.
Katie thought that looked fun, so, she stole Al's horse, and off she went!
of all the photos I took today, THIS is my favorite. Do you suppose they all love their Grandpa?
If there is a woman who is contemplating keeping a man around, my advice is. "If he doesn't love moments like this, let him go....kick him away..... "
So, Wendy has to ride Enlish
Jess in a kid saddle too.
Anyone guess what my secret is?

Happy to have a knack for making you smile.
Thanks for the ocmpliment, but guess what? My Wayne is a keeper too! So, I am!
Your old Texican friend is lucky to be with you every day, and when you want him, you are lucky to let him in.
*humming* .... happy Trails, to you, ... until we meet again!......
off into the sunset....
We are gone tomorrow!

I have heard that Bonnie...we won't have alot of free time, but definitely some.
Thanks for congrats!

I don't gamble, but I enjoyed all of the wonderful sights and the imagination of it all. The hotels have so many other things to offer>
Lots of walking and be careful! you can get lost in some of those places. I wandered around the Bellagio for what seemed like an hour trying to find an exit.
The Cab Drivers absolutely despise pedestrians and bike riders. They lay on the horn for each intersection. And the bike riders go as fast as the cars.
I envy you. I enjoyed the visit. Been there a few times for the SEMA show in Nov.

Yeah, I figured it was obvious...being Vegas and everything. I haven't been before, so really looking forward to it!

Your clue was pretty obvious. Congratulations. I hope that everyone has a great time.
-- Posted by KH Gal on Mon, Jan 30, 2012, at 2:47 PM
At this event, there will be LOTS of photographs,... I don't like not having control of creativity, but oh well!
And thanks!

Who's going to take the pictures? lol!
Congratulations Jessie & Wayne :)
-- Posted by MsMarylin on Mon, Jan 30, 2012, at 2:43 PM
I knew that wouldn't last long.
The plan is tentatively.... to get married in the arena at the Legacy of Legends. A little intimidating, but that's what Carolyn wants. Soooooooooooooo............ But if that doesn't work out, the hotel we are staying at, has a service pretty cheap, ....

BEIJING, China--The U.S. Women's Goalball Team consisting of Jen Armbruster (Colorado Springs, Colo.), Lisa Banta (Boonton, N.J.), Asya Miller (Lapeer, Mich.), Robin Theryoung (Colorado Springs, Colo.) Jessica Lorenz (Berkley, Calif.) and Jackie Barnes (Wadsworth, Ill.) beat Denmark in sudden overtime to play China for the gold. The U.S. team then beat China, 6-5, in a sold-out Beijing Institute of Technology Gymnasium to win the gold medal.
The game between USA and Denmark went into two overtime periods tied 3-3 at the end of regulation. Winning the coin toss, the U.S. team elected to throw the first ball. Neither team was able to score during the first three minutes, going into another three-minute overtime period.
Asya Miller (Lapeer, Mich.) threw the winning ball ending the game in sudden death, 4-3.
"I've played in four Paralympics prior to coming to Beijing, this game was a continuation of the unfinished business in Athens where we won silver; winning the gold tonight is finishing what we started four years ago," said Jen Armbruster, (Colorado Springs, Colo.), U.S. team captain.
"The U.S team was ready, and it showed tonight," said head coach Ken Armbruster (Colorado Springs, Colo.). "Tonight was like a boxing match, hitting and countering for 10-20 minutes, we were fortunate, we got the last punch in."
The coaching staff includes Ken Armbruster (Colorado Springs, Colo.) and Sharon Gunderman (Dubois, Pa.) with support staff including Gwyneth Short (Lakewood, Colo.) and Lou Tompson (Landrum, S.C.).
Goalball is a Paralympic sport played by athletes who are blind and visually impaired. Developed after WWII as a way to keep blinded veterans physically active, it has become the premier team sport for athletes who are blind and visually impaired. Played competitively by men and women, it is a very fast paced, physically challenging, strategic and exciting game.

Someone will probably still say Peyton choked this game......
That's how dumb people are when they place the blame soley on Peyton, it shows thier level of football knowledge.
"So, what do you think will happen on Sunday?"
"ZOMG, Peyton's gonna choke!!!#E32434@@@."
"Any reason why, will the other team play great defense? Anything to back that?"
"Oh wait, I heard on teh ESPPN that Peyton can't win teh big gammme!"
Super Bowl XLI Champions
2000 Eastern Conference Champions
The already asked Peyton does he think that his last drive may redefine.
"THE DRIVE "(with Elway).
Why Not Us ?
Well, technically, Peyton still hasn't won the BIG GAME just yet...
Skip Bayless:
"Derek Fisher will prove to be a much better NBA head coach than Steve Kerr."
"The Houston Texans will forever regret it if they do not take Johnny Manziel with the No. 1 overall pick. He will haunt them."
"You bet I'd take Tebow late in games over ARodg."
"Manti Te'o: the next Ray Lewis."
No QB in the history of our game has won EVERY single big game. We'll be back next year..with some decent WRs and a faster defense.
I don't think Brady choked. He had to take some shots downfield. That one just didn't work out.
2 weeks in a row no less. The Colts fell on the ball to seal the win instead of trying to run it and fumbling the game back to him.
Ummm...to be accurate,
24 seconds left, only one timeout left, and 40+ yards to cover.
It was fully necessary and appropriate to take some risks there. It didn't work out that time. Credit the Colts defense for overplaying the passing lanes and pressuring Brady.
No choking was involved. You roll the dice and sometimes it comes up snake eyes.

Published February 22, 2007
MOON LAKE - Edward Neil Clark was killed, authorities say, over a pressure washer.
That is the dispute at the heart of the Feb. 15 shooting that left Clark dead and Joseph Anthony Crawley accused of murder, according to a Pasco County Sheriff's Office search warrant.
"If you are going to shoot me," a witness said he heard Clark tell Crawley, "shoot me."
Then, a single gunshot.
The warrant details the accounts of two witnesses to the shooting at Crawley's 10350 Lake Drive home.
Thomas Piggford and Dianne Maleski's stories differ, but agree on this point: Crawley became angry with two men during a gathering at his home.
Piggford said he was one of the men Crawley accused of stealing the washer. The other was Clark, whom authorities say was staying with Crawley because of financial problems.
Maleski, a neighbor, said an angry Crawley grabbed a handgun, walked to the front door and fired it at vehicles outside.
Crawley then came back inside and start fighting with Piggford. So Maleski went home.
Piggford doesn't mention brawling in his account. He said he was in the bathroom when he heard gunshots. He got out and saw Crawley brandishing a gun. Crawley pointed it at Piggford, then at Clark's head. Piggford told detectives he then hid in a corner. He didn't see what happened next.
Piggford said he heard Clark's last words, then the gunshot. When Piggford looked, he saw Clark lying in blood.
Maleski said she heard the gunshot. Then she saw Crawley walk outside.
It was an accident, Crawley told her. He didn't mean to shoot Clark.
Crawley told her he was "going to go kill himself," the warrant said, then drove off.
As many as seven people were in the house during the shooting, the Sheriff's Office says, but only one unidentified witness was there when deputies arrived.
Authorities say Clark, 41, was found kneeling on the living room floor, bent over, in a pool of blood at 1:30 a.m. The Medical Examiner's Office said he was shot in the head.
A .357 Magnum revolver was found inside the home, according to the warrant. The Sheriff's Office has not identified the weapon used in the slaying. Nor would authorities say if alcohol was a factor in the shooting.
The manhunt for Crawley, 41, ended at 3:30 a.m. Sunday in Hudson. He has pleaded not guilty to a charge of first-degree murder.

USA Men vs Canada
Game Four
Canada 2, USA 1
Scoring Summary:
23' - CAN - Mark Pearson, FG
33' - CAN - Mark Pearson, FG
61' - USA - Jon Ginolfi, PG
A tough game for the USA. The Men really pressured in the last ten minutes and had a couple of good opportunities and corners. Jon Ginolfi's goal was a great hesitation move where he faked the swing, causing the Canadian defense to hesitate and then he lifted it to the top corner. The Americans held the penalty corner edge 4-1 over Canada, but unfortunately only converted one. The Americans ended this game on a positive note by outplaying a tough and prepared Canadian team who is participating in the World Cup in India next week.
"We're in a position where we are extremely frustrated to not have achieved a result in this test match," said Head Coach Nick Conway. "However, we have to look at that from a positive perspective given where we are in our training phase. To have created so many chances towards the end of the match is very pleasing and now we must focus our efforts on improving our physiology and becoming more threatening in the final third and in our penalty corner game. The difference ultimately today was that the Canadians were more opportunistic with the chances that they were able to create. Overall, I'm really encouraged and look forward to our continued growth over the next period."
Game Three
Canada 3, USA 1
Scoring Summary:
35' - CAN - Scott Tupper, PC
55' - CAN - Wayne Fernandes, PC
58' - CAN - Taylor Curran, FG
68' - USA - Pauly Kundi, FC
Game Statistics:
25 Entry: CAN 27 / USA 24
Circle Entry: CAN 15 / USA 14
Goal Shots: CAN 6 / USA 6
Penalty Corner: CAN 3 / USA 5
Goals: CAN 3 / USA 1
"I'm really encouraged by where we are at in our current training phase," said Head Coach Nick Conway. "Unfortunately, we lost today's match in the final execution of penalty corners. Canada were extremely proficient in this area and we lack sharpness both on attack and defensive corners. However, that aside we were more than competitive with a side that is a few days away from playing in a World Cup. If we can continue to develop we are in a good spot despite the frustration of losing these close contests. If we can persist, I'm confident that we can break through this frustration and get some real return for our efforts. Who knows that might be tomorrow if we continue to work hard in the areas that are proving fruitful for us at the moment."
Game Two
Canada 3, USA 0
Game report by Tjerk van Herwaarden
In less then 24 hours the 2nd match between the USA and Canada took place! Due to the rain on saturday game 2 was played on monday morning 10am.
The start of the game was similar to the 1st half that was played yesterday! Canada had most of the possession but the USA stayed very disciplined and in the structure that made it very difficult for Canada to find options in their front field! Both teams we more careful with giving away unnecessary turnovers and so circle penetrations were rare in the first half. While Canada had the most of the possession the first real goal scoring chances were for the USA.
It was Canada who opened the score midway through the first half on a well executed corner. A low flick to the left was unstoppable for the USA corner defense. Even with the 1-0 score the USA kept playing organized and that resulted in a few good circle penetrations before the half was over! One of them had to be stopped by a Canada foul, the stoke that followed, taken by Sean Harris, hit the post.
The 2nd half started with a different Canada, the pace of the game increased and the USA had to make some changes to get the control back over the game. Canada kept playing with a high pace and small mistakes in the USA defense were punished! It eventually resulted in a good build through the midfield by Canada and a open striker found the goal, 2-0. A Canada stroke minutes later was stopped by Tom Sheridan.
Even with a 2-0 deficit the USA kept playing like in the first half, organized and with poise. A few very good builds let to some good attacking plays towards the Canadian circle but their defense seemed on their toes and did not allow much.
Towards the end of the 2nd half USA midfielder Steve Mann was sent off with a yellow card! In this period of being outnumbered it was organization that held the USA team within the game and even game the USA some opportunities. Canada was not able to use the man up situation to increase their lead.
A 3rd goal did fall late in the second half after a small mistake in the USA Defense, a close range shot ended up in the goal. Final result Canada 3 , USA 0.
Both teams will now resume training this week and be back in game action next saturday at 11am.

Game report by Tjerk van Herwaarden
The saturday match between the USA and Canada was cancelled due to a flooded field in Chula Vista. Today, sunday the field looked much better and the game was on.
Canada, in preparation for the World Cup in India starting in three weeks, looked timid in the start of the game. Both teams were definitely trying to see who was going to determine the pace of the game. The USA started very disciplined and organized! Canada seems to have some trouble getting through the USA structure which leaded in a few turnovers on the Canadian half! Midway the first half these turnovers gave USA the first opportunities with 2 chances and 2 awarded penalty corners. None of them successful.
After these opportunities for the USA, it was Canada that created some goal scoring opportunities and after a mis trapped ball in the USA circle a quick Canada shot ended up behind Tom Sheridan, the USA goalkeeper, whose view was blocked on the shot. A few more penalty corners for USA later in the 1 half did not result in the so much deserved goal to tie the game at the half.
In the 2nd half the USA started strong and create a few great attacking plays which ended up close to the circle by good tackles by Canada. While both teams stayed very well in their structures not a lot of chances were created by either team! Midway the 2nd half fatigue started to play a role and the USA saw a few costly turnovers. None of the turnovers leaded directly into goals against but it did cost a lot of energy. Towards the end it was Canada that accelerated through the midfield and found an open forward on the endline, 2-0. An late push by USA led to a great circle entry by Jon Ginolfi but his shot went wide.
Canada took the first game 2-0! Tomorrow morning 10am the 2nd game will take place.

I love this glue, but then again I use it differently than what it's normal use is. If you are gluing glass or plastic, I wouldn't use this glue. Otherwise, it is great albeit it does take a bit for it...[more]

I made a pendant by gluing a photo on a plastic domino. After it dried I used Clear Tacky Glue as a sealant. When that dried it looked and felt like glass. I love the look but am wondering if it will stay looking clear or will it change color over time?- Asked by Holly on 17-Nov-13
I spoke with the manufacturer and they said that it will indeed stay looking like glass, but because it is not acid-free, after time, it may yellow the photo underneath.- Answered by MisterArt on 18-Nov-13
Can this glue be used to glue egg shells to dominos?- Asked by Holly on 15-Oct-13
Because the egg shell is porous, you will need to use a clear varnish; possibly something you could use as an adhesive as well. You could search clear sealers on our site using the search box above, and the best multi-purpose adhesive we have is the e-600 craft adhesive, which is fairly quick-drying.- Answered by MisterArt on 15-Oct-13
Can I use Aleene's Clear Gel Tacky Glue on wood to add decoupage?- Asked by Cindy on 19-Apr-13
For your use, we would recommend using the Fast Finish Decoupage by Beacon.- Answered by MisterArt on 23-Apr-13

I've been living in Boston for about a month now, and so far, so good! It's a lot different from San Jose, but I definitely feel a San Francisco-esque vibe here that I'm totally into. And thanks to visits from friends and a very social roommate, I've already done a bunch of fun stuff here and have even started to know my way around (which if you know me, that's a huge feat).
Here's a list of the things I have found to be really enjoyable in Boston so far:
1) The T
As someone who hasn't owned a car over the past two years, the T is a blessing. Public transit wasn't too bad in San Jose, but the T blows VTA out of the water!
Luckily for me, I live really close to an Orange Line stop and that line runs right by the City Year office and Emerson College, so it is pretty ideal. My only complaint is that the T stops running pretty early (around midnight-ish) so if you don't want to cab it home from a late night out, you have to cut your night short. But maybe that's not such a terrible thing…
2) Jamaica Pond
I live in Jamaica Plains, which is a really cool area of Boston. It's a fairly quiet neighborhood in comparison to the college-ridden parts of town and there is a really cute downtown area.
My favorite part of Jamaica Plains is the Jamaica Pond. It has beautiful scenery, you can rent sailboats and rowboats, go fishing or walk your dog. I try to make it there every day to go running around the 1.5 mile loop, cause if I'm putting myself through hell to try to get back in shape, I might as well do it in a pretty place!
3) Sam Adams Brewery
It's no secret that I love breweries. Thankfully, I have the Sam Adams Brewery right around the corner!
I love the Sam Adams Brewery because the tour is SUPER informative (they even passed around hops for us to check out), the tour guides are really friendly and it's free.
During the tour, they take you to a tap room where they show us how professional beer tasters sample their wares and encourage us to do the same as we "taste-test" up to five different brews.
They provide you with a small Sam Adams taster glass for you to keep and don't charge you for the beer, either. They do ask folks to give a donation that the brewery will then in turn donate to local organizations that work with kids. Can't go wrong with that!
After the tour, they offer you a free Party Trolley ride over to Doyle's Pub, which is the first bar in Boston to serve Sam Adams (and also apparently makes an appearance in the film Mystic River). If you go there from the tour and buy a Sam Adams draft, they will give you a really nice Sam Adams glass for free. Excellent.
4) Boston Common
This is a really cool area in Boston that just so happens to be where Emerson College is located. There is a really pretty park, lots of cute café's and eateries and of course, pubs. I really like Sweetwater Tavern and have frequented the AMC movie theater in that district. I'm excited to spend a lot of my time in the Common.
5) Purple Cactus
One of my big concerns moving here from San Jose was that I would be doomed to eat crappy Mexican food for the rest of my life. Then I went to Purple Cactus and saw the light.
Not only do they serve burritos that are the closest I've found to the greatness of California taquerias, but they also serve delicious fruit smoothies (I highly recommend the Classic Blonde).

Lake Street house ablaze
Harriet Tubman: a life of sacrifice and service
Sunday, March 10, marks the 100th anniversary of the death of Harriet Tubman, one of the most remarkable women in American history.
Araminta "Minty" Ross (later Harriet Tubman) was born into slavery in 1820 or 1822 (like most slaves, she was unsure of her birth date), the fifth of nine children near Tobacco Stick, Md. A lifetime of work began at age 5, when she was "loaned out" to another plantation. Tubman noted that even as a young child she would receive as many as six or seven beatings a day.
Despite her diminutive size – about 5 feet tall – Minty was a strong and capable worker, hauling timber, packing and carrying grain on the wharves of Tobacco Stick, and pulling boats laden with stone. No doubt she spoke for millions of blacks who performed back-breaking labor, stating, "Slavery is the next thing to hell."
In 1844, Minty wed John Tubman, a free man of mixed race, and changed her first name to Harriet, possibly out of affection for her mother, also named Harriet. In the spring of 1849, learning that she and two of her brothers were about to be sold, the three siblings decided to escape. (Border-state slaves lived in constant fear of being "sold south" to a plantation in Mississippi or Georgia, for example, never again to see family and friends.) Unsure of the route north, Harriet and her brothers quarreled, eventually gave up their flight and returned. In the fall of 1849, Harriet attempted a second escape, this time alone. She was aided by a network of anti-slavery Quakers on her journey and eventually arrived in Pennsylvania.
Recalling her successful escape, Tubman said that when she had crossed into Pennsylvania, "I looked at my hands to see if I was the same person. There was such a glory over everything; the sun came like gold through the trees and fields, and I felt like I was in Heaven." Now in her late 20s, Tubman noted that although she was free, "there was no one to welcome me to the land of freedom. I was a stranger in a strange land." She was determined to return to Maryland and liberate as many family members as possible. Historian Fergus Bordewich states that for the next decade, Tubman was obsessed with rescuing her kin, convinced "she was a chosen agent of God, who guided her every act."
When friends cautioned against returning to Maryland, risking capture and enslavement, the deeply religious Tubman stated, "The Lord who told me to take care of my people meant me to do it just so long as I live, and so I do what he told me to do."
Over the next 10 years, Tubman made 12 or 13 journeys to Maryland's Eastern Shore, leading approximately 70 to 80 slaves to freedom and indirectly helping 50 or 60 more escape on their own. (Her early biographers put the number of individuals Tubman helped escape at 300, a number that stood for decades until refuted by contemporary historians). As a result of these slave-liberating forays, Tubman was dubbed "the Moses of her people" or "Black Moses."
In 1851, Harriet returned to Dorchester County, Md., to help her husband, John, a free man who could have departed on his own, move north. Hiding near her husband's home, she sent word to John that she had come for him. Tubman learned from someone who knew John that her husband had taken another wife, a free black woman, and had no desire to go north.
After Union soldiers captured Port Royal, S.C., in November 1861, Massachusetts Gov. John Andrew asked Tubman to go to Beaufort and help care for the many black men, women and children who were now neither plantation slaves or legally free. Tubman arrived in South Carolina in the spring of 1862 and began helping slaves and soldiers alike by way of administering home remedies made from roots and herbs.
Because of her backcountry knowledge, Tubman accompanied a raiding party (most likely as a scout) led by Colonel James Montgomery that liberated some 700 slaves who climbed aboard three gunboats. Sernett argues this raid is the basis of the enduring "General Tubman" myth – that Tubman was the leader of a slave-freeing military expedition. Historian Milton Sernett states unequivocally that Tubman carried no military rank and did not command an Army unit. She was called "general" by her many admirers only in the figurative sense.
Tubman returned to Auburn, N.Y. (a city with a strong abolitionist community and a stop on the Underground Railroad) in the fall of 1865 and would remain there for the rest of her life. By the 1890s, the Tubman residence was home to many destitute individuals. Her neighbor and friend, Helen Tatlock, recalled that the Tubman home "had a great number of young and old, black and white, all poorer than she." According to Tatlock, Black Moses cared for "the demented, the epileptic, the blind, the paralyzed, the consumptive." Tubman supported her household raising pigs, chickens and ducks as well as selling fruits and vegetables grown on 7 acres of land.
After a protracted struggle with the federal government, in 1899 the elderly Tubman (who lived on the razor's edge of poverty most of her life) received a widow's pension of $8 a month, and $12 a month for her service as a wartime nurse. She was also given a compensatory award of about $500.
Harriet Tubman died of a pulmonary infection in 1913. Ever the caretaker, she quoted scripture shortly before passing: "I go away to prepare a place for you, and where I am, ye may be also."
Milton Sernett notes that Harriet Tubman's "life story causes us to reflect on both the good and evil in American society. … As long as some Americans believe they suffer injustice no matter how defined, they will find Tubman a useful symbol. … Her struggles to be free and then her self-sacrificial efforts to help others underscores values we Americans treasure in custom and in law."

All patriotic Americans recognize that military readiness requires the leadership and talents of a certain number of generals and admirals in the various branches of the armed forces.
But few Americans realize that the ranks of�these brass hats has grown far beyond any realistic need and represents the waste of a lot of money.
Consider THIS:
The David Petraeus scandal has shined a light on the luxurious, subsidized lifestyle of the U.S. military�s top generals. But so far, what the media has uncovered only scratches the surface of the abuses…

Area Police Reports
Carlos R. P. Rodriguez, 31, of Lakewood was charged with second-degree criminal contempt, unlicensed operator and unregistered motor vehicle. Rodriguez was observed operating a motor vehicle without a license, then parked the vehicle and went to a residence of a subject that had a valid order of protection against him. After further investigation, Rodriguez was found to be in the country illegally. U.S. Border Patrol was notified and the subject was remanded to Chautauqua County Jail.
Terry L. Kendall, 40, of Allen Street, Jamestown, was charged with second-degree aggravated harassment.

Project/Component Working Name:
CCCP: Cluster Configuration Carrier Publication
Name of Document Author/Supplier:
Matt Ingenthron <email@example.com>
Date of this Document:
30 July 2013
Proposal Status:
Name of Major Document Customer(s)/Consumer(s):
SDK Development Team, Cluster Development Team, Sync Gateway Development Team
firstname.lastname@example.com mailing list
Project Summary:
Introduce a new method of publishing the configuration to client libraries designed to access the cluster. This project delivers a new public interface and documented guidance for how client libraries and proxies are to initially understand the topology of the cluster, get updates as the cluster topology changes and introduce a feature which would protect data integrity in certain complex failure situations.
Project Description:
Current configuration publishing is reaching some limits in its current implementation though it has served us reasonable well over the last three years. While the implementation could be improved, a new architectural approach could give deployments higher reliability, less impact to applications during changes to cluster topology and new features in the area of reliably operating a cluster in certain complex failure situations.
As mentioned above, we do have a number of issues with our current approach.
The largest and most visible of these is that even moderate numbers of configuration streams overwhelm individual servers and could easily overwhelm a cluster, mostly due to the large amount of cluster wide state we include in that response. Maintaining an additional HTTP connection does also unnecessarily complicate the client. It also is not actually the most efficient route to communicate changes, as currently a configuration change is frequently communicated via a not_my_vbucket response, with which the client then has to retry the operation after receiving the configuration either proactively or by asking via an HTTP channel which can cost 10s or 100s of milliseconds. Also, client libraries currently have to have rules or guess if the configuration service is unavailable when they begin to see data protocol operations become problematic.
This project would move the minimal configuration required for a client configuration to publication via memcached protocol.
Further details on the anticipated implementation are in the appropriate section below.
Risks and Assumptions:
This project assumes that the existing HTTP stream may be deprecated, but not removed as a supported public interface. For purposes of keeping the cluster reliably functioning, changes were introduced in version 2.1.0 that will relieve pressure by pushing back on client requests and it's expected that this can keep the HTTP stream a reasonably-reliable, though not necessarily scalable, interface through the 2.x series.
This project also does not cover any needed changes to moxi and assumes that moxi, which ships as both a bundled and unbundled component of Couchbase Server, will continue to use the HTTP stream until it makes sense to change within moxi's lifecycle.
As is currently the case in Couchbase clusters, it is assumed that the configuration received from any one node is safe to use. Client libraries need not do any validation.
Business Summary
Problem Area:
Couchbase has moved into larger and larger deployments. Some of this has occurred at the same time Couchbase, starting with the 1.8 release, has started to prefer client libraries which have a more direct interaction with the cluster. This was done to provide higher reliability and performance for our customers, though we knew it would require some changes to their applications.
As described above, there are some problems with our current implementation of HTTP streaming that cause performance and stability issues as we scale clusters.
The market is any deployment in which there are a large number of uncoordinated clients. This can be a large number of Java or .NET clients or, owing to it's multiprocessing model, could be deployments typically using libcouchbase with many processes per system. This can also help with any size deployment since it simplifies fault detection and communication of changes.
How will you know when you are done?
A set of QE driven tests will be carried out that demonstrates that a reasonably sized cluster can handle two scenarios.
One is thousands of client library instances making and receiving configuration updates with no more than a 5% difference in resource utilization. The actual resource utilization is expected to be much less.
A second test that should be performed is one in which the network is interrupted between hundreds or thousands of client-library instances and the cluster which would cause the clients to re-establish all configuration and data channels. This test would be successful if all clients are able to reestablish their connections in less than 30 seconds and continue data operations.
Technical Description
This project would introduce a new way to configure client libraries. It would be a new public interface at the cluster and add new API to use it from client libraries.
With this new interface, the client libraries will retrieve the bootstrap configuration for Couchbase buckets from one or more nodes in the cluster. memcached bucket types are not covered by this proposal and would return an error if a configuration request were received.
This would consist of a new command opcode to be used either before authentication (in a "default" bucket situation) or after authentication to get the configuration for a given bucket. It would also introduce behavior of sending new configuration along with any responses that indicate in a request that the client does not know the current topology as a rider on a modified version of the existing NOT_MY_VBUCKET responses.
The client library would randomly select a host from which to request an initial configuration, and then subsequent to that will update the cluster map it is using based on on NOT_MY_VBUCKET responses. In the configuration it must also retrieve the UUID associated with the bucket for any future reconfiguration events, so it is expected that that bucket instance UUID is available in the configuration request and response. It is expected that for the duration of this client library instance, the bucket and UUID will be used and verified. However, the developer/administrator are not expected to provide the UUID, and the client library is not expected to store this across the creation of (memory volatile) client library instances.
An architectural note, it is assumed that the configuration from any node of the cluster is to be trusted as an initial starting point, or that node will not be available. If the node is 'partially' available, meaning it allows connections to be established, it must not allow authentication or configuration requests if that configuration request cannot be properly serviced. Any error for authentication or configuration requests will cause the client to request a configuration from another node in the list supplied by the developer/administrator. Since the initial configuration request is sent to a random node in the list specified by the application developer/administrator, it will be critically important that the developer/administrator maintain any application deployment with a list of trusted servers.
It is not proposed in this project that any existing bootstrap methods be removed from either clients or servers. Where existing bootstrap methods are hostname or hostname:port based, the semantics would change to try the new configuration method first, and then fail back to older behavior. Where existing bootstrap methods are URI based, they will use the old configuration methods. All client libraries implementing this proposal (and all future client libraries) will have similar behavior for bootstrapping, as described above.
Issues/Issues to be Opened:
Sync Gateway issue 129 - change to support new config method
Other Solutions Previously Considered:
Create a new RESTful endpoint that has only a small amount of data, and thus is lighter weight on the cluster.
This could well work, but does not decrease the latency with which configuration changes are expected to be propagated or increase reliability.
In Scope:
Changes to ns-server, ep-engine, possibly memcached. Changes to libcouchbase, the Java client, the .NET client.
Out of Scope:
Changes to moxi to use this new configuration method.
Any configuration which allows for a load balancer for traffic in this new approach.
Any change in logic to how view requests are distributed. These would continue to operate as they currently do against the same configuration.
Any attempt to compensate for misconfigured or unusual DNS/hostname configurations. In the current implementation, the cluster and cluster configuration control node hostnames (or IP addresses, which we unfortunately default to) and publish this via the configuration. A consistent set of name resolution for the hosts participating in the cluster and client-side application logic are expected.
A new set of operations at the memcached protocol level along with a documented way to use those interfaces from a client library.
Doc Impact:
Updates to each client library's documentation on how to use the new configuration bootstrap method. An internal or external document that describes how to use this bootstrap method by new client libraries.
Admin/Config Impact:
To migrate to the new approach, software developers may need to make changes to their client configuration and/or software. The specific changes are not to be covered in the scope of this document.
There is no administration impact anticipated, other than possibly needing to roll out the new version of the cluster and new client libraries.
Packaging and Delivery Impact:
New dot-minor versions of all components mentioned would be required. Given that no existing interfaces are expected to be removed, there is no additional impact over a regular dot-minor upgrade.
Security Impact:
This change reduces dependency on HTTP for getting the configuration, and doesn't really enhance security but removes one more item from the scope of things to be concerned with. There is a separate project for addressing credential and transport security for any memcached protocol needs.
None outside the mentioned components. This spans many components on both the client and the server.
Work under MB-8578 to track bucket UUIDs at ep-engine would be required, but this is already completed.
Reference Documents:
None at this time. Should link to private commands in memcached and public commands in memcached, but it's not clear where those are documented outside the code. Need assistance from ep-engine/memcached teams.
Resources and Schedule
Projected Availability:
As of this draft, the goal is for this to be available by the Couchbase Server 2.2 release, which is slated for mid-September.
Cost of Effort:
Estimated as a week or two of engineering time for across server components and then an equivalent week or two for clients. The QE effort is likely higher and no estimate is provided for in this draft.
Prototype Availability
Prototype Availability:
It'd be expected that builds in leading to 2.2 or separate builds would deliver the first prototype, likely with reference implementation and documentation being lead by the libcouchbase project.
Prototype Cost:
Since this is a committed change, cost has not been estimated.

Sticky Toffee Pudding with Butterscotch Sauce
Courtesy Gale Gand, "American Brasserie" by Gale Gand, Rick Tramonto, Julia Moskin, MacMillian, Publishers, 1997
- Sweet Dreams
- 12 ounces dates, pitted and roughly chopped
- 2 1/2 cups water
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 3 1/4 cups sifted all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 8 tablespoons (1 stick) softened, unsalted butter, cut into pieces
- 1 2/3 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- Butterscotch sauce, recipe follows
- Butterscotch Sauce:
- 2 1/4 cups light brown sugar
- 7 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup half-and-half
- 1 teaspoon brandy
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup cold heavy cream, optional
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 13 by 9-inch baking pan with parchment or waxed paper.
Combine the dates and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Turn off the heat and gradually stir in the baking soda (it will foam up), and set aside.
In a bowl, combine the flour and baking powder. In the bowl of a mixer, cream the butter until fluffy. Add the sugar to the butter, and cream until fluffy. Without stopping the mixer, add 2 of the eggs and mix until combined. Add the remaining 2 eggs and vanilla and mix until combined. Add about 1/3 of the flour mixture and 1/3 of the dates and mix until combined. Repeat until all the flour mixture and the dates are incorporated into the batter. Pour into the baking pan and bake about 40 minutes, until firm and set in the center. Let cool in the pan. When cool, turn out of the pan onto a baking sheet and peel off the parchment paper. The recipe can be made through this step up to 2 days in advance.
Butterscotch Sauce: Combine the brown sugar, butter, half-and-half, and brandy in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Boil 3 minutes, until combined. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla.
When ready to serve pudding, preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Pour the sauce evenly over the top of the cake. Bake until the sauce is bubbly and cake is heated through, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, whip the heavy cream into soft peaks with the mixer. Cut the cake into squares and serve with whipped cream.

MAC Photorealism Quad Tutorial - Smokey Green Eyes
Here is a look I did using the MAC Photorealism Quad from the recent MAC Makeup Artist Cosmetics Collection. It's a gorgeous smokey green eye with a gorgeous berry lip. Perfect for the fall!
I tried to do a slightly different take on the this smokey eye. Usually I do a transition between light to dark starting on the inside of my lid and then moving out. This time, I darkened both the outer and inner edges and kept the middle light for a pop of color.
Check out my video tutorial!
Here's What I Used (All MAC unless otherwise specified):
-Graftobian powder foundation
-summer rose beauty powder
-Steelo eyeshadow base in medium
-photorealism quad
-vanilla e/s
-graphblack technakohl
-Ardell lashes
-NYX mascara
-Rimmel brow pencil in hazel
-on display lipglass
Stay tuned for tomorrow's Sigma Makeup Brushes Giveaway!

Saudis Vow Al Qaeda Will Regret Suicide Bombings
"Saudis Vow Al Qaeda Will Regret Suicide Bombings" – I might have more to say on this soon, but for now I had to quote this. Not the article. Just that headline.
You can go read it, but don't expect to find that the funny folks at the Onion wrote this masterfully ironic headline. Reality did (with help from Reuters).
I'm reminded of a line from a blues song (sample here); "Life's funny … but I'm not laughing."

To perform properly in baking, flour must first undergo oxidationa process that changes its protein structure for better baking results. Without proper oxidation the bread or pizza crust turns out under-risen and with a coarse texture and overly large cell structure.
Les King Arthur sells it . . . Fleischmann bread machine yeast in a jar has it already mixed in. I use often.

About the Author: Mike Chadwick serves as Public Affairs Officer at U.S. Consulate Fukuoka in Japan.
July 4, America's Independence Day, falls in the middle of Fukuoka's Hakata Gion Yamakasa Festival, the city's premiere celebration, which runs July 1-15. Yamakasa, an annual event in this great western Japanese city for over 700 years, is emblematic of both the rich cultural heritage of Japan and the warmth and exuberance of Fukuokans. To take advantage of this synchronicity, and to highlight our shared values and the cultural distinctiveness of the United States and Japan, American Consulate Fukuoka decided to bring a Yamakasa theme to this year's Independence Day reception, which we held on June 30.
Yamakasa is colorful, joyous and raucous, much like celebrations of July 4 in the United States. On the last day of the festival, seven teams of men and kids (no adult women allowed) race while carrying elaborate portable shrines weighing over a ton each on a five-kilometer course through the heart of the city at dawn. No sedate parade here! Hundreds of thousands of spectators cheer on the loincloth- and happi-coat clad runners and throw buckets of water to cool them in the summer heat. This year, Management & Consular Officer Jay Avecilla is racing for the Ebisu Nagara team, but he refused to allow us to post a photo of him in his loincloth.
Although no water was thrown at our Independence Day reception, we did have many leaders of the Yamakasa festivities among the more than 300 guests in attendance. Principal Officer Margot Carrington emphasized in her greeting just how important festivals and traditions such as Yamakasa and July 4 are in uniting communities and showcasing our vibrant cultures -- not to mention having fun! Fukuoka Governor Wataru Aso linked our Independence Day celebration, bringing together American and Japanese customs, to the U.S.-Japan Security Alliance, based on shared values and mutual respect. Secretary Clinton's video greeting, subtitled in Japanese, spoke to similar themes of cooperation, in saying "no nation can meet the challenges and seize the opportunities of the 21st century alone -- all of us have to take responsibility and work together."
After Vice-Mayor Tsurukawa of Fukuoka City gave the kampai toast, guests enjoyed Noh Otsuzumi drums performed by Mr. Shonosuke Okura, and Ms. Nana Katsuki, an award-winning singer who hails from Fukuoka, sang "Hakata Yamakasa," a foot-stomping song of the festival (Hakata Ward, in the eastern part of the city, is where the Yamakasa race takes place).
By the bye, Yamakasa participants traditionally refrain from eating cucumbers during the Festival (the cross-section of a cucumber is said to resemble the symbol of Gion-sama, the patron deity of Yamakasa), so the Consulate was very careful to offer up a cucumber-free menu for the reception. We featured American Independence Day staples, including hamburgers, hot dogs and pizza along with local BBQ pork, fish and rice dishes, typical fare for a muggy summer night in Fukuoka.
The Nakasu Nagare Yamakasa team, joined by Jay Avecilla and standing next to a three-meter ice sculpture of the Statue of Liberty, closed the event by singing "Hakata Iwaimedeta" (Hakata Celebrates) and leading all 300 guests in ceremonial "Hakata Te-Ippon" rhythmic clapping. "Yo!" (clap, clap) "Mahitotsu!" (clap, clap) "I-o-ute, san do!" (clap clap, clap). I think that any party which ends in applause is a success, so our Independence-Yamakasa Day certainly qualified. We left with a little more understanding of each other's customs and traditions, and with plans to be out at dawn on July 15, cheering on our Yamakasa friends as they sprint through the streets of this beautiful city.

Editor for this issue: James Yuells <jameslinguistlist.org>
Thanks to Carol Myers-Scotton for her comments on my mail (19/11/99) : "I am presently doing some doctoral work on french-kali'na (an amerindian language spoken in French Guiana - Carib family) code-switching. I am having trouble with the question of the 'base language' of the sentences where I have occurences of code-mixing. Ellen F. Prince and Susan Pintzuk (Bilingual Code-Switching and the Open/Closed Class Distinction - University of Pennsylvania - January 1984) states that : "Following Joshi 1983 and others, we used the tensed verb of each tensed S to determine the matrix language of that S". Is there a general definition of matrix language that would fit for tensed S and for other types of sentences ?" Comments from Carol Myers-Scotton : (1) First, under the Matrix Language Frame model (see the "afterword" in the 1997 paperback edition of Duelling Languages--Oxford University Press), I definitely do not say that the Matrix Language (hereafter ML) can be identified as the language of the finite verb. For evidence, see the article by my colleague Jan Jake and me (Jake and Myers-Scotton) in the 1997 issue (the first issue) of the new journal, International Journal of Bilingualism. We show that in an Arabic/English CS data set, the finite verb of many, many CPs is in an Embedded Language Island. That is, Arabic is the Matrix Language, but the IP is all in English (as an Embedded Language Island). For example: 'ana I don't think so. transation: "emphatic I, I don't think so." (2) I make clear that the ML can be identified on the basis of the two principles I propose in Duelling Language as structuring a mixed constituent. That is, the ML is the language of morpheme order (the Morpheme Order Principle states that only one language provides the morpheme order for a mixed constituent) and is the language of those system morphemes that have relations external to their heads (The System Morpheme Principle). That is, the ML is a theoretical construct used to "name" the source of abstract grammatical structure in a bilingual CP (mixed constituent). (3) From the above, it should be clear that the ML is not something to be identified separately from these two principles. In the original version of Duelling Languages (1993), I tried to identify the ML separately (with some sociolinguistic criteria and also by counting morphemes. As I point out in the 1997 edition of Duelling Languages, counting morphemes doesn't always work ---although the ML is usually the source of more morphemes, it is true. (4) The best way to think of the ML is NOT as a "language" itself, but rather as the grammatical frame. In the case of classic CS, this grammatical frame is synonymous with the frame of one of the participating languages, it is true. But in other-than-classic CS, the frame may be a composite of grammatical material from both (or more) languages involved. That is, if either because the speaker does not have full psycholinguistic access to the preferred ML or because the ML is "turning over" (for socio-political motivations), then the ML is a composite. (5) When it is a composite, the ML typically still largely consists of grammatical material from one of the languages, but the hypothesis is that it gradually "turns over" to more of the grammatical material from the other language. This is what happens in language shift. Or, at least it could be one way that language shift is accomplished.Mail to author|Respond to list|Read more issues|LINGUIST home page|Top of issue

5 Best Cars for a Fatter America
BOSTON (TheStreet) -- U.S. health officials estimate that nearly 70% of Americans are obese or overweight these days, so here's a look at five cars to consider buying if your tush looks more like Kim Kardashian's than Heidi Klum's.
"Some automakers recognize that
The car-information site picked winners by analyzing all 2013 models to find those with the most front-seat headroom, legroom and hip room -- with extra credit given to vehicles that offer extended-length seat belts as standard or optional equipment.
Clarke says that's important because decades-old U.S. National Highway Transportation Safety Administration standards only require automakers to design seat belts to fit 215-pound males, a weight level that plenty of modern-day Americans exceed.
"It's a big safety issue if your seatbelt doesn't fit properly, because there are plenty of obese drivers who don't buckle up because doing so is just too uncomfortable," Clarke says.
Edmunds editors also gave extra credit to vehicles that come standard either with front bench seats or offer them as options. Front bench seats -- a single long seat for the driver and front passenger -- are great for portly drivers, but real rarities these days.
"Bench seats used to be popular back in the day, but are really, really hard to find now," Clarke says.

Karen M. Cole
Karen M. Cole, 55, of Saranac Lake, died Monday, July 15, 2013 at her home.
Born in Saranac Lake on February 21, 1958, Karen was the daughter of Robert and Bertha A. (French) Rombough. She married Nicolas Cole on July 3, 1982 in Saranac Lake. He predeceased her on June 6, 2009.
Karen was a life long resident of the area and had been employed at the American Management Association in Saranac Lake for 34 years. She retired from AMA in 2011. Karen enjoyed spending time with her loved ones and was especially fond of the time she was able to spend on the lake boating with her grandchildren and family. She always put her grandchildren and family first. Karen's "family time" also included many, many hours watching nieces and nephews play youth and high school soccer, hockey and softball. Her presence at those events will be greatly missed.
Karen is survived by one daughter, Erin Perry and her husband Jeremy of Saranac Lake; one sister, Carol Sussey and her husband Donald of Ellenton, Fla.; two grandchildren: Ali and Ethan Perry of Saranac Lake; and several nieces, nephews and great-nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her father, mother and two brothers: Francis and Martin Rombough.
