Hi All, I attempted a Manco clone tonight and was quite pleased with the results!I've been playing around for a while with different formulations, not always aiming for a Manco clone. This week I tried this:2 TS IDY4 TS salt2 cups water2 cups KA AP flour PLUS more4 TB oilI'm sorry that I don't have exact weights for flour, but I wanted to post anyway. I mixed the IDY, water and 2 cups of flour and let it sit for 30 min. then added enough additional flour to make soft sticky dough, then added oil (then had to add more flour cause dough got really too sticky. I did a bulk room temp rise for about 2 hours, then scaled and balled into 4 balls and let sit for 2 days in fridge. I took them out only 1/2 hour before cooking and dough was still quite cold. I stretch the dough SUPER thin, thinner than I ever have before. then baked at full blast with the Weber grill set up shown (preheated about 15 min). I topped with white extra sharp cheddar followed by pizza sauce (high quality imported tomato puree with basil and added salt, pepper, touch of crushed red pepper, sugar, garlic powder and oregano; all to taste). Cooked for 4 minutes. Hope to clone again soon and post more photos if anyone is interested. I found that technique - getting dough super thin and doing the bulk warm rise followed by cold rise was almost as important as the ingredients.
2 cups of flour and 2 cups of water??? That would make a batter, not a dough. That can't possibly be a formula you used to make pizza dough, that's just WAY TO WET!
Hi Everyone, Yes - sorry to cause such confusion!! That is why I used the caps as Peter observed. What stinks is that I usually cook by feel and taste and I have trouble documenting the recipe. I did use MUCH more flour than 2 cups!!! I plan to try my recipe again soon and will document more. The whole point though was that I feel technique counts just as much as ingredients in producing the final dough. I made another pie with the same exact dough and it came out very different. Cooked maybe a minute longer and the dough was not stretched as much...with the Manco like pie, I really really pushed the limits when stretching it and even thought I was going to end up with a cracker crust...but I didn't!Here is the other pie made with the same dough but with mozz and sauce put on in the more traditional manner.
Norma,Where did you buy the AMPI?
I purchased the AMPI (State Brand) of mild cheddar from my distributor that I get my regular cheeses from. I also tried the AMPI sharp cheddar, (but that wasn't the cheese) before on this thread.
If the cheese doesn't give you quite the "twang" you're looking for, Norma, try letting it sit out for a day before using it on the next pizza.
Pete,Welcome to the forum! Do you have a pizza business that you know what happens if I let the cheese sit out for day? If I would let my regular cheeses sit out they would become quite gooey. I know from taking cheese out of the deli case if some extra pieces of cheese are in a Cambro container before I wash the container. I also have problems with Nasonville cheese if I grate it the day before and even put it in the deli case. It wants to clump together in a day. I know cheeses that are aged to develop more flavor, but would a day sitting out give any cheddar cheese that twang? Did you ever try AMPI mild white cheddar on a pizza and have you ever eaten a Macks pizza? I know the cheese at Mack's sits out, at least some in high heat. Sorry to be asking all the questions, but I am curious.Thanks for your help! Norma

Following the fairly successful rollout of Bay Area Bike Share last summer in downtown areas, SFMTA was poised to expand the bike-sharing program to residential neighborhoods earlier this year. However, that expansion has been delayed until the fall "at the soonest" as Bixi, the company that provides the hardware and software for BABS, has filed for bankruptcy. Streetsblog reports:
"Our main technology and software provider is actually for sale," said [SFMTA bike-share program manager Heath Maddox]. "We should know what becomes of that sale later this month. Hopefully, it'll be bought by our current operations and maintenance provider [Alta Bicycle Share], and they could just move, without a hitch, and once again fire up production."
Maddox said after the sale and re-organization is completed, "it takes five to six months to produce the equipment once it's ordered."
The immediate future of the program looks pretty grim, as Maddox noted the fall expansion would only happen if "everything went very well." Of course, the local bike thief business community might bring bike-share to the neighborhoods soon enough.

Just when one might think that high-definition television is finally here and will stay for long, consumer electronics companies believe that already in less than four years up to a half of HDTVs sold will also support stereoscopic 3D technology and so will do TV-channels and movies.
Hiroshi Yoshioka, executive deputy president of Sony and head of the unit that includes its TV business, said in an interview with IDG news service that that the company expected 3D televisions to make up between 30% and 50% of all TV-sets the company planned to sell in the financial year that begins in April 2012. The claim seems to be too optimistic for a technology that has not even started to emerge on the market as of late 2009.
In order to enable stereoscopic 3D experience using shutter glasses-based technology, Sony will need to equip its HDTVs with panels that have refresh rate of 120Hz or higher. Some high-end models already feature 120Hz or even 200Hz panels, however, they are rather scarce. In case Sony simply calls such TVs as 3D-enabled, then the share of such TVs may well reach 30% - 50% by 2013. In fact, Mr. Yoshioka claims that Sony considers selling shutter glasses separately in order to keep the costs of its HDTVs down. As a result, it is not clear what will be the difference between next-generation 3D and non-3D televisions; most likely, there will be no difference.
For Sony, it is tremendously important to increase its market share and improve profitability of its TV business. In fact, for several years Sony's TV unit has been unprofitable.

The diagnosis of a dementing illness marks a new stage in your life and your family's life. Challenging decisions and important choices arise, along with uncertainty and often confusion, anxiety or fear. Some decisions might need to be made right away. Others lie ahead. The best future for you and your family depends on understanding what is most important to each of you. Recognizing and communicating your personal values about everyday care enables you and your family to make the right choices, one by one, as the situation changes.
Today, in many communities, resources exist to assist you and your family now and in the future. For example, support groups, counseling services and volunteer programs can help with the emotional impact of the disease or disorder and enable you to stay involved and active. Assistance with daily living can be provided through structured day programs, in-home support, short-term respite and other community programs. Legal and financial advice can guide you and your family in planning for the future. Experienced professionals can assist by providing information and arranging for services you may want.
When it comes to everyday care, what are your wishes? The first step in exploring your options is to be sure that you know what is most important to you. Those who are close to you also need to understand what you want. Projecting into the future is difficult, but it is important to educate yourself about choices and communicate how you feel about these.
Some of these questions may help you and your family think and talk about values and preferences:
Small and very personal choices also can make a big difference. For example:
Both the one who is ill and the one who provides care try to make decisions that are in the best interests of the other person. Family members who provide care find it more satisfying if everyday care matches the values and preferences of the one receiving care. Sadly, family caregivers —especially adult sons or daughters— sometimes do not know as much as they would like about their parents' wishes for daily and nursing home care. That uncertainty adds stress.
Recent research confirms that ongoing, meaningful communication about daily care choices and preferences is quite possible. Dementing illnesses need not keep a person from expressing life-long values and wishes for care now and in the future. Even if serious memory problems affect work and home life, or lead to changes in behavior and mood, one still can participate in care decisions.
Until there is a need, few of us consider how we feel about care issues or life choices such as stopping driving or no longer cooking. Starting a discussion about this subject may be hard, but most people respond positively to a conversation that involves planning for
the future.
Here are some tips that may help your family communicate about these issues:
Knowing your individual styles of communication can help. A diagnosis of dementia may upset and overwhelm members of a family. Some cope by taking immediate action. Others withdraw to absorb the unexpected situation. Both responses may block good communication. A trained counselor or facilitator can be helpful in improving family communication about care preferences and decisions.
Finally, by all means express your preferences when your family explores care possibilities. For example, it may be more important for you to consider who provides a service rather than the cost of the service. For your family, it may be more important to consider what is included in the service and what it will require of them or of you. In either case, make your wishes and preferences known! In the long run, a clear understanding of what is most important to you will help you and your family now and in the future.

Yesterday was Melbourne Cup day in Australia – the biggest annual horse race event in the country, and in the state of Victoria it's even a public holiday.
Open Query does work for Luxbet (part of Tabcorp), and Melbourne Cup day is by far their biggest day of the year in terms of traffic. It's not just a big spike, there's orders of magnitude difference so you can really say that the rest of the year is downright quiet (in relative terms). So, a very interesting load pattern.
Since last year Luxbet has upgraded from stock MySQL to MariaDB, and with our input made some other infrastructure modifications including moving to a pure solid state storage (FusionIO) solution as a SAN just won't deliver the resilience and performance required. This may seem odd, but remember that a) a SAN is also a single point of failure (so when the SAN fails, multiple db servers will be "out" – not desirable even though a failover to another datacenter is possible), and b) MariaDB/XtraDB (InnoDB) already have all recent data and indexes in RAM, so whatever I/O is required won't benefit from a SAN cache. Thus, the SAN will have to actually do a physical disk seek and read to get what is needed, and we all know seeks are slow. A write or fsync also incurs some latency, regardless of the storage array speed.
So those are the reasons for the local storage solution. While there are aspects of RAID and other redundancy in that setup, the main resilience in the infrastructure comes from having more machines, rather than necessarily having more redundancy in each machine.
Grant is working on a more comprehensive version of this story.

In short: Great Marshalls and a friendly atmosphereIn full: Has a few hills. Water stations were well manned and everyone seemde really friendly.Date of review: August 24, 2009
In short: A lovely way to spend a sunny August SundayIn full: My first run at Burnham Beeches and a really enjoyable experience. Yes it was hot, yes it was hilly in places, and may be an isotonic drink at the stations would have been nice. But overall a very enjoyable experience: beautiful surroundings, a nice two lap course (good for spectators), good after-race picnic potential and a nice swim at the end of the race!Date of review: August 24, 2009
In short: beautiful surroundings and lovely shaded areas. Only complaint in the heat more water stops were needed, I'm sure last year there were sponges,really missed this time and no food at the end!Date of review: August 24, 2009
In short: I really enjoyed it, the highlight had to be the swimming pool!In full: Really good marshalls, a bit of a long walk to the start especially with young family members! The pool was fantastic and I'd do the race again just for the relaxing atmosphere afterwards!Date of review: August 24, 2009
In short: Enjoyable, slick organisation, lovely scenery but too hot this year!!In full: My first Burnham Beeches. Thanks to all at Burnham Joggers for a smooth, impressive event which I will do again. Great atmosphere at the start. Wonderful marshalls. No goodie bag but I liked the medal. I hope I can be quicker next year!Date of review: August 24, 2009
In full: A great race as usual. If I was critical the car park is too far away from the start/finish and for the price of the race a goody bag or something other then the medal would have been better. Still great organisation from the usual team and I will be back to support the event as usual next year.Date of review: August 24, 2009
In short: Great race - lose the plastic cupsIn full: Great race. Friendly. Very well organised. Scenic. Hot. Killer last few miles.Only suggestion for improvements:lose those awful plastic cups - small bottles are what you needmars bar at endSure everyone would pay £1 extra for that!Date of review: August 24, 2009
In full: Very well organised with plenty of parking. Toilet and other facilities spot on. Nice start and finish area. Drinks at finish a little crwded because of the heat. Nice to have a walk back to the car park to stretch out the legs. Well done to the marshalls etc who were excellent. Nice touches through out.Dickie BirdDate of review: August 24, 2009
In short: Tough and hot but well worth the effortDate of review: August 24, 2009
In short: nice run in the countrysideIn full: nice race mostly traffic free, through countryside, slightly hilly, felt water stations were too far spread out, weather very hot, addition of some sponges would have helped.Date of review: August 24, 2009

Here's how RW members rated this race (191 votes).
In short: A good race, could be great if they get people to park away from the start/finish area.Date of review: June 12, 2012
In short: Flat, flat and flat! Great PB potentialIn full: A great race, big loop of the country side, passing farms got a bit smelly but it's the countryside - what else do you expect!? 99% flat and definitely a PB course - results available within a few minutes of finishing - well put together...2 small things I never liked - running round a small enclosed area at the start just to make up the full 13.1 mile distance, and the t-shirt at the end was grey - looks more like a brickies top rather than a running techy t-shirt! Date of review: May 15, 2012
In short: As a local runner it was nice to have a lay in and walk to the race.In full: I ran some of the route the weekend before in the rain....so what an improvement in the weather...well done Martin well organised.....I saw lots of locals at the start encouraging the runners ......this race has improved over the last few year :)Date of review: March 17, 2012
In short: Great race for my first half-marathon. Well done to the team.In full: Entered the race with some trepidation as my first half-marathon distance, but a really nice run. Very flat - probably made me set out a bit quickly, so legs were struggling over the last 3 miles. Nice t-shirt, good organisation. Shame that runners still ignore the advice and were leaving the parking area while runners were still finishing - rather selfish on their part. One to run again. Good work, Nice Work!!Date of review: March 14, 2012
In short: Local fast and flat run across the marshesIn full: Enjoyed this race very much; having never run it before. As usual, my positive/negative breakdown: Positivies* Cost - Cheaper than some 10K's I have run, and more than worth the price when you consider all the goodies thrown in* Course - Superbly flat, and a real test of how fast you can run the distance. Wonder if it's possible to chop a bit of the grass at the start off and increase the turn around point outside the pub. This wasn't a problem as the weather was gorgeous, but in wet weather this may cause a very slippery start!* Location - nice and quiet, saw one car in the 90 minutes I was running, roads are as good-as-closed!* Date - I haven't done this race in previous years as it has been the week before Hastings Half, the highlight of my year. Two weeks before Hastings is the perfect time, even with tired legs from Eastbourne the week beforeNegatives* Only negative I have was the turn around point directly outside the front door of a pub... Honestly Martin, you do tease us!I will be back next year if the race is 2 weeks before Hastings again. A brilliant testing course which I enjoyed immensely. I honestly enjoyed this more than Eastbourne the week before, which was £7 more expensive - and as you can see from my review there, it wasn't as if I didn't enjoy it there! Superb effort all!Date of review: March 14, 2012
In short: Really enjoyed it, the weather was perfect and the kids loved the pre race fun run.In full: I thought the organisers got it just right with this one, friendly and not corporate.Easy to get a PB, the only down side was that the chip timing was a minute slower than my stop watch which was too much of an issue as I knocked more than 6 minutes off my best.Excellent.Date of review: March 13, 2012
In short: Enjoyed this one!In full: Not sure whether to do this race after reading mixed reveiws from previous years.Delighted I did. Parked in the town to avoid the risk of interfering with runners on departure - good move, and only a 2 minute walk. Plenty of helpers with pre-race entries and chip collection. HQ basic, but adequate. Course pancake flat, but with enough turns to avoid a never-changing vista. If you can't get a PB here (and I didn't!), you never will! Ample and helpful marshals. Chocolate, bananas, water at finish, and nice medal and excellent t-shirt. Only gripe is that something has gone astray with the time/place recording, and I don't appear in the provisional results! Not something to get too agitated about, as I'm sure the ever-helpful Martin will resolve sooner rather than laterDate of review: March 13, 2012
In short: Very nice place, well organised but run a bit boringIn full: Well organised, very friendly people and good mixture of running abilities. Need to control cars leaving the car park for the slower runners to be able to finish without dodging cars though. I was helped over the finish line by a very nice local runner who scooped me up over the last mile so a big thanks to him!Run itself was pleasant with good facilities but a bit boring and being able to see the finish from mile 11 onwards is not always a good thing!Date of review: March 13, 2012
In full: Could do with a sign post at Swamp Road for cars getting to the venue. Cars leaving the car park before runners complete should be stopped if possible although tihs is in the pre race information. Lovely route with excellent pb potential. Thank you.Date of review: March 13, 2012
In short: Well done NICE WORKS!!!!!! flat, perfect weather, nice t-shirt & medal & after race food but more loos needed and slight chaos at water stationsIn full: panic at the start for the masses of runners and 8 toilets!!!! the start was delayed luckily as the 45 minutes queing for the loo meant that I got to the start line with 2 mins to spare and quite stressed! the water stations were also a bit undermanned and chaotic - a sign as to which side of the road it was would have been welcomed. other than that expect the ususal bright start from martin, loud, clear and friendly, very well organised at the finish with a fab spread of foods to take care of, friendly marshalls and prompt printed results. Well done nice work!!!!!! Look forward to the next race!Date of review: March 13, 2012

Categories Comments Campus Safety
Oh boy, don't get me started. Since there is no security, we have a curfew. 12:30am sunday-thursday, 1:30am Friday & Saturday. Which means we get locked into the dorms. You cannot leave without permission from an RA (who all happen to be oblivious and inefficient) and if you are caught outside past curfew you will get a strike against you at least and campused (a fancy term for being grounded) at worst. Or perhaps put on probation. All of the buildings are locked up after this time so campus is dead after hours. This is why we call it the Gulag.
Greek Life
Clubs and Activities
There are guilds. Woodworking, folk music, sacred art, sacred music, horseback riding. The latter is the coolest.
Great for these types of students
homeschoolers, traddy Catholics, extreme conservatives. Think Long Skirt.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
Nothing unusual, but there is a Marian grotto and a swamp
Bang for the buck
Its really too expensive for what you get. On top of that, to quote a senior who has been here for four years, you get collegiate work with high-school privileges.
What to do for fun
Occasional bonfires/kumbaya fests. Nothing exciting. Also its pretty far away from everything so you're kinda stuck in the middle of nowhere. BUT! There is hope! There is a gas station nearby! :D
Food and Dining
Excellent food, three meals a day, breakfast is OK but can't say much else. There is only bread and fruit available in between meals and you'll only get some if you're lucky.
Dorm Life
Poorly built and insulated dorms; have black mold issues. Among other things the walls are so thin you can hear the person next door, above and below you. Shared living spaces for girls (dorms are not co-ed) and smelly guy's dorm. Think family life.
Academic Rigor
Very difficult, lots of reading, paper writing, etc.
Tips for prospective students
The curriculum is great, but not worth the experience. This is a traddy Catholic paradise, and unless you are yourself a traddy Catholic, don't even apply. You're gonna have a bad time. People here (including staff) are extremely conservative.
In three sentences
Great academics, tough/challenging curriculum. Tiny, tiiiiiiny campus. less than 100 students makes for high-school level drama and everyone knows when you brush your teeth.

Categories Comments Campus Safety
The campus is in a partially secluded location. That and its small size made me feel perfectly safe there.
Clubs and Activities
While there aren't really any organized clubs due to the school's size, there is always something fun to do on the campus.
Great for these types of students
Great for quiet, family-related students who love reading, writing and learning about their faith.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
There is a lot of smoking on campus, which I didn't like.
Bang for the buck
It's definitely more affordable than other Catholic colleges, but I do not think that they offer much in the way of financial aid.
What to do for fun
There are dances, field trips, jam sessions and Shakespeare plays!
Food and Dining
The food is great! There is no fast food or school cafeteria junk served on this campus! Everything is made from scratch and some of the fruits and vegetables come from the students' own gardens.
Dorm Life

It is a very small school with great emphasis on the Catholic liberal arts. I liked how simple it was. It is impossible to get lost in a crowd of strange students or a sea of buildings over there!

Mr. and Mrs. Bunel
While many slave couples formed lasting bonds during their enslavement, slave marriages had no legal foundation or protection. The abolishment of slavery not only meant citizenship but the ability to have legally recognized marriages without fear of the loss of a spouse through sale. The Bureau helped facilitate and record marriages. This is the marriage record of Reuten Bunel and Esther Seurs.

"The main problem with our education system today is not what is taught, where it is taught, by whom it is taught or how it is taught," writes Teresa Talbot in the Deseret News. After 24 years teaching in Utah public schools, she believes, "The main problem with education today is students who refuse to work,"
It is the students in a science class where the teacher finally stopped giving students work to complete at home because very few of them bothered to do it. Instead, she began giving students time in class to complete all assignments. Over a third of her students failed because they refused to work in class.
. . . It is the students in my math classes who, when I showed them how to work a multiple step problem, called out, "I'm not doing that; it's too much work." It is the students who "complete" and turn in every assignment and still score less than 30 percent on the test covering that material because they are not the ones who actually did the work they turned in.
No matter how good the teacher, the technology or the curriculum, passive, lazy students won't learn, Talbot writes. She blames " a society that no longer values the individual work ethic" or holds students responsible for their learning.
What's alarming is that she teaches in Utah, the traditional values state.
On Teaching Now, Anthony Rebora asks if "schools and educators bear part of the blame for failing to reach and support disengaged students?"

Taylor, Bayard
Bayard Taylor 1825-1878
American travel essayist, poet, novelist, and translator.
Bayard Taylor was a popular and prolific travel writer, although he always considered poetry his true calling. His eleven volumes of travel essays, including accounts of his adventures in the Middle and Far East propelled him to celebrity status. He immersed himself in other cultures, and although his portrayals are occasionally stereotypical and sometimes overly positive, they are never lacking in enthusiasm. Taylor's interest in travel was matched only by his love of poetry. He was a member of the Genteel Tradition, which emphasized conventionality and correctness in writing, and his poetry reflected the mores of 19th century society. Taylor was so well known and so well connected in the literary circles of the era that Herman Melville used Taylor as the basis for a character in The Confidence Man, and Bret Harte wrote a tribute to Taylor on the event of the latter's death. Much of Taylor's work has fallen into obscurity since his death, but his translation of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's Faust (1871) has survived to this day, and is considered to be an excellent preservation of the original rhyme and meter.
Biographical Information
Taylor was born on January 11, 1825, in Kennett Square, Chester County, Pennsylvania. His ancestry was English and German and he was raised as a Quaker. He was, however, never happy living on a farm, and relished his time in West Chester, where he apprenticed to a local printer. This apprenticeship allowed him to publish a volume of poems, Ximena; or, The Battle of the Sierra Morena, and Other Poems (1844). With the money he made from this volume, Taylor sailed to Europe, and truly began his career as a travel essayist and writer. Views A-Foot; or Europe Seen with Knapsack and Staff (1846), along with the newspaper essays which comprised the volume, propelled him to celebrity, and its success allowed him to travel for the rest of his life. In 1850 Taylor married his childhood sweetheart, but his bride died suddenly two months after the wedding; his grief prompted Taylor to embark on another voyage. He was quite taken with the cultures of Africa and the Middle East, describing them in A Journey to Central Africa; or, Life and Landscapes from Egypt to the Negro Kingdoms of the White Nile (1854) and The Lands of the Saracen; or, Pictures of Palestine, Asia Minor, Sicily and Spain (1854). He then joined Commodore Matthew Perry on his voyage to open Japan to the west, and chronicled the journey in A Visit to India, China and Japan in the Year 1853 (1855). He also lectured prolifically throughout the period, until the Civil War broke out and reduced the demand for lecture tours. Searching for another source of income, Taylor began writing novels. He remarried in 1857 to Marie Hansen, the daughter of a German businessman, and was later appointed Minister to Germany. Taylor's connection to Germany and his growing interest in German literature prompted his translation of Faust, and he had planned on biographies of Schiller and Goethe before he died on December 19, 1878.
Major Works
Taylor's travel essays were immensely popular in their time, with Views A-Foot going through six printings in its first year and a total of twenty by 1855. Despite their popularity, though, Taylor's travel essays have not withstood the test of time. These accounts express both his interest in immersing himself in other cultures and his belief in the superiority of European society; however, the breakneck pace at which he conducted his voyages, according to Richard Cary, prompted Park Benjamin to comment that "Taylor had traveled more but seen less than any man who ever lived." Taylor's greatest legacy is his translation of Faust, which is lauded to this day, although it has lost its status as the standard English translation of the work. Taylor's poetry is respected for its technical achievement, but has often been criticized as derivative. He is considered a good poet, but not a poetic genius. His novels have faced the same criticism, and are not held in so high regard as those of Mark Twain and other acquaintances of Taylor. Torn between his desire to write in the romantic vein and his reluctance to break with the conventional morality of the day, Taylor's indecision, in the view of some scholars, led to mediocrity. In the end, Taylor is more renowned for the quantity of his work than the quality.
Critical Reception
Taylor has received little critical attention in the twentieth century. Modern critics, such as C. W. LaSalle II, have focused on Taylor's poetry and novels, largely disregarding his travel works. Richard Cary sees Taylor's poetry and prose as mediocre at best, and few critics are impressed with his style and ability. He is considered a product of his environment, an example of his time rather than a ground-breaking figure, competent, but not especially gifted. Taylor's critical reception in his time, however, was extremely positive, owing partially to the practice by Genteel Poets of commenting favorably on each other's works. Many critics have considered the difference between Taylor's early critical and popular success and his relative obscurity one hundred years later. John T. Krumpelman pinpoints the imitative nature of his work, while Paul C. Wermuth blames both Taylor's lack of writing ability and a change in literary tastes for his diminished reputation in the twentieth century.

Richard Cary (essay date 1952)
SOURCE: The Genteel Circle: Bayard Taylor and his New York Friends, Cornell University Press, 1952, pp. 14-21.
[In the following excerpt, Cary discusses Taylor's egotism and the effect it had on his work and on his role as a leader of the Genteel Tradition.]
With complete justice Russell Blankenship calls Bayard Taylor "the crown prince of the Genteel Tradition under the benign despotism of the First Triumvirate, Lowell, Longfellow, and Holmes."1 In Taylor may be descried all the traits of the romantic-sentimental school which culminates in a carefully cultivated academic isolationism despite its pretenses to rugged worldliness and manliness. His achievement was an inspiration to his three comrades, his popularity their hope, his sturdiness their rock in time of trouble. [Richard Henry] Stoddard, most clamorously self-sufficient of the four, paid Taylor this tribute after his death, "My nature is not a reverent one, I fear, but I looked up to Bayard Taylor."2 [Edmund Clarence] Stedman, most dependent upon Taylor's spiritual largesse, and [Thomas Baileg] Aldrich, most equable of the quartet, also acknowledged their debts to him on frequent public and private occasions. He was all they were striving to be: well known, widely read, world-traveled, acclaimed by an indulgent audience, handsome, dashing, an inveterate idealist, and a solid family man. As long as he lived, he remained, discounting small disloyalties, the apex of their aspirations.
In his turn, Taylor revered the great Brahmins. He borrowed their themes and techniques, he aped their bookish urbanity, he longed for their Olympian status in the world of readers. He sought their praises avidly and quoted their favorable phrases exuberantly in his letters. He visited them as often as pretext would warrant (much to Stoddard's disgust), wrote eulogies on their flimsiest efforts, and associated himself with them in thought and print wherever and whenever possible. His fondest desire was to be mentioned in the same breath with them, to be entombed in the same future anthologies of American literature. He was to die disappointed, however, for he lacked that fund of human understanding which distinguished them from lesser practitioners of the genteel mode. They moved through the hearts of their readers in a surge of deep-felt sentiment; he hovered about their heads in a translucent mist of romance. His exteriority fell victim to winds of realism which could not affect the inward warmth induced by his elders.
Taylor's salient flaw, second in seriousness only to his essential mediocrity, was his hunger for fame. His quest for recognition was insatiable and, eventually, fatal. He diverted his energy into so many channels that his output was shallow in every respect. He substituted versatility and industry for originality and profundity. His subsidiary careers of journalist, traveler, writer of travel books, lecturer, diplomatist, and landed proprietor interfered with his prime ambition to become a distinguished poet. These secondary activities—true to the genteel code, he considered poetry the highest accomplishment of man—sapped his strength and finally brought him down. Taylor died twenty-five years before any of his three intimates, martyr to the "cheaper service" of which he wrote in "Implora Pace." His life was too full of excursion and he was too intent upon immediate fame to give the poetic sentiment sufficient time and quiet to mature.
The cult of the writer as gentleman was one of the most important genteel attitudes to which he subscribed. Remembering Scott and Burke in Great Britain, Irving and Cooper in America, he erected a gigantic country estate which he called Cedarcroft, near Kennett Square, Pennsylvania. He devoted a disproportionate part of the rest of his life supporting or trying to dispose of it. Ellis Paxson Oberholtzer,3 Albert H. Smyth,4 and other commentators testify to its severe drain upon his resources, mental and monetary. Mrs. Taylor reports additional tribulations:
He was driven by the demands which his estate made upon him. He had a hearty, unaffected welcome for his friends, and they could not stay too long; but others, who had no claim upon his friendship, made one on his hospitality. He was vexed and teased by the petty gossip which assailed him, and by the direct assaults upon his freedom.5
The gossip and assaults upon his freedom of which Mrs. Taylor speaks sprang largely from the bucolic townsfolk of Kennett. They murmured against the frequent consignments of delicacies that passed through town on their way to Cedarcroft. Taylor affected an Eastern potentate's flair for entertainment, and it was particularly the spirituous nature of the refreshments that fostered hostile remarks.
Taylor's rage for recognition led him to solicit applause and to misconstrue the enthusiasm of celebrity-hunters for the sincere appreciation of literate readers. He delighted in the outward signs of his popularity evoked by his appearance on the lecture platform. Three letters written in February, March, and April, 1854, emphatically repudiate matinee idolatry, then continue contrarily to a confession of complete enjoyment.6 He was happy to confuse the inquisitive and the critical faculties of the mobs who paid fifty cents to see his romantic profile and costume; it bolstered his belief in himself as an indestructible poet. He was "anxious for the roses,"7 as George Edward Woodberry puts it, but he is not to be accused of petty egotism. His vanity was of the kind that took pleasure in achievement even if it were his own. His self-love was that of a child, supreme within his circumscribed universe. He repeated joyfully words of praise accorded to his works. But his manifest honesty and naïveté more than counterbalanced this offensive little habit.
Taylor was a man of infinite attraction, as his close friendship with such dissimilar personalities as Stoddard, Stedman, and Aldrich demonstrates. He had none of the repellent traits reputed to "the jealous, waspish, wrong-head, rhyming race." His willingness to forget a fault or patch up a difference is to be noted throughout his letters. His inclination to forgive was, in fact, sometimes embarrassing. He made his correspondent feel like a gamin who has hit an angel in the eye with a mud pie. And he was frequently too zealous in delegating the blame to the other party when, clearly, he was in the wrong himself. His expansiveness in these cases is amusingly ingenuous. But his sincerity is unquestionable. He praised unstintingly and was happy in his friends' happiness. He was a monument of good nature, giving freely of spiritual comfort and worldly goods. His ideal was peace on earth, good will.
Taylor's publicity-seeking and fraternizing with important international figures lend a distasteful savor to many of his letters. He practically bent his head to be patted by the Empress of Russia and Bismarck, relating his experiences in their company with ill-concealed effervescence to his friends in plebeian America. Woodberry attributes this parvenu trait of Taylor's to "a discomfortable doubt of his position."8 There is much to commend this view, for Taylor was basically insecure; he did lack the sense of self-affirmation which usually goes with ripened genius. Four years before his death he was still grasping at outward signs of approval to reassure himself.9 As so often before, he misinterpreted personal esteem for literary acclaim. It was a fortunate confusion for him; it prevented warping of his amiable nature and precluded bitterness or total disillusionment.
In order to assuage his thirst for fame he sought to encompass...

SOURCE: Bayard Taylor and German Letters, Cram, de Gruyter & Co., 1959, pp. 78-130.
[In the following excerpt, Krumpelmann examines the degree to which Taylor's work imitates German literature.]
As in his other works, so in his original literary compositions, Bayard Taylor shows the effects of his knowledge of and interest in German literature. If we examine these works chronologically, we find an ever increasing amount of German influence. As has been indicated above1 Taylor's real acquaintance with German literature dates from his first trip to Europe (July, 1844—June, 1846). Consequently, his first little volume of poems, Ximena, published...

[In the following excerpt, Wermuth discusses Taylor's translation of Faust, his parodies, and other critical pursuits.]
The Faust translation is Taylor's most important work, and his only book which has survived. Still considered standard in some quarters, it is currently available in the Modern Library and in the Oxford World's Classics. Taylor seriously aimed at making it the standard version; indeed, he said that it was going to be "the" English Faust and that no one need translate it again after him....

[In the following introduction to Taylor's The Story of Kennett, La Salle offers an overview of Taylor's career and provides background for the novel.]
One hundred years ago, few serious readers in America would have thought it possible that Bayard Taylor would someday be an almost forgotten author, for he was one of the better-known writers of his period. Taylor's fate serves to remind us that two very different literatures were being written in the 1850's and 1860's. Among Taylor's contemporaries were Nathaniel Hawthorne, Herman Melville, Ralph Waldo...

[In the following essay, Luedtke and Morrow offer a commentary on Bret Harte's obituary of Taylor, and examine the relationship between the two authors.]
When Bayard Taylor died in Berlin on December 28, 1878, the one man who most fittingly could write his obituary for the German nation had just settled in the Ruhr town of Crefeld: his countryman, Francis Bret Harte. For Taylor, the German ambassadorship to which he had just been appointed culminated an affair with the heart of Germany which reached back beyond his acclaimed translation of...

Shortly after finishing The Confidence-Man, Melville came down from the Berkshires to New York where he spent "a good stirring evening" with Evert Duyckinck (as Duyckinck described it in a diary entry dated October 1, 1856). According to Duyckinck, Melville was "charged to the muzzle with his sailor metaphysics and jargon of things unknowable" and overflowing with ironical wit. Duyckinck concludes his entry with a...

[In the following essay, Martin discusses Taylor's use of pastoral settings and classical themes in his treatment of homosexuality.]
I know … a great valley, bounded by a hundred miles of snowy peaks; lakes in its bed; enormous hillsides, dotted with groves of ilex and pine; orchards of orange and olive; a perfect climate, where it is bliss enough just to breathe, and freedom from the distorted laws of men, for none are near enough to enforce them! If there is no legal way of escape for you, here, at least,...

Routine Proceedings
3:10 p.m.
Sarmite Bulte Parkdale—High Park, ON
Mr. Speaker, I have the honour to table, in both official languages, the first report of the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage, entitled "Interim Report on Copyright Reform".
Textile Labelling Act
Routine Proceedings
3:10 p.m.
Marlene Jennings Notre-Dame-de-Grâce—Lachine, QC
asked for leave to introduce Bill C-527, an act to amend the Textile Labelling Act.
Mr. Speaker, it is a true honour for me to introduce Bill C-527, an act to amend the Textile Labelling Act.
This is a long awaited initiative among those in Canada who decry the use of sweatshop labour in developing and least developed countries to produce the clothes that we wear in Canada.
The bill would make it possible for Canadian consumers to identify the name and address of the factory that produced an item of clothing. Labels would include a reference number that Canadians could use to check on the Internet where their clothes were being made.
More than 10,000 young Canadians have already signed the petition, circulated in Quebec by Amnesty International, calling for this type of labelling.
With the bill, Canadians will have access to greater information. It will be at their disposal and they will know when they buy the clothes.
(Motions deemed adopted, bill read the first time and printed)
Controlled Drugs and Substances Act
Routine Proceedings
3:10 p.m.
Canadian Alliance
Rob Merrifield Yellowhead, AB
moved for leave to introduce Bill C-528, an act to amend the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act (substances used in the production of methamphetamine).
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to introduce this very important bill. It would give the RCMP the tools to crack down on crystal methamphetamine problems. This illegal drug has rampaged my riding as well as most of the ridings in Alberta. It is a very serious problem.
The legislation is supported by the Alberta Association of Municipal Districts and Counties. They are struggling with this problem on a firsthand basis in their communities.
I talked to an RCMP member on the weekend. He was very impressed with the opportunity to have legislation that would give him the tools to crack down on those elements that go toward the making of crystal methamphetamine.
The legislation is commonplace in many of the states in the United States. It is a matter that we should be looking at very seriously because it would give the RCMP the ability to crack down on this drug. The precursor of being able to make the drug and having large amounts of it in a person's possession would be deemed an illegal act. It is something that we encourage the House to consider as we move it forward.
(Motions deemed adopted, bill read the first time and printed)
National Motto Act
Routine Proceedings
May 12th, 2004 / 3:15 p.m.
Rick Laliberte Churchill River, SK
moved for leave to introduce Bill C-529, an act respecting the motto of Canada.
Mr. Speaker, I rise today with great honour to introduce an act respecting the motto of Canada, seconded by the hon. member for Vancouver Kingsway.
The current motto is "from sea to sea", which is based on scripture. It says "He shall have dominion from sea to sea and from the river unto the ends of the earth".
I propose that the new motto should reflect a vision of who we truly are as Canadians. We are a nation of rivers and a river of nations. As a nation of rivers, we are blessed and responsible for the numerous river basins which are ascertained by founding treaties.
The river of nations celebrates all our ancestors and our multiculturalism, inclusive of the original nations and all the nations that come from the ends of the earth.
Therefore, I hereby declare that the motto of Canada should be "natio fluminum, flumen nationum", a nation of rivers and a river of nations.
(Motions deemed adopted, bill read the first time and printed)
Routine Proceedings
3:15 p.m.
Paul Szabo Mississauga South, ON
Mr. Speaker, I have two petitions today. The first is on the subject matter of hate crime.
The petitioners would like to draw to the attention of the House that all Canadians abhor hate motivated attacks and believe that promoting hatred toward any person or group is wrong.
The petitioners are concerned about the possible impact of the proposed amendments to section 318 of the Criminal Code. Therefore, they call upon Parliament to take all measures necessary to protect the rights of Canadians to freely share their religious and moral beliefs without fear of prosecution.
Routine Proceedings
3:15 p.m.
Paul Szabo Mississauga South, ON
Mr. Speaker, I have five petitions all on the subject of marriage.
The petitioners want to draw to the attention of the House that marriage is the foundation for families and raising children, that it is an institution as between a man and a woman and that it also is being challenged. The petitioners also point out that marriage is the exclusive jurisdiction of Parliament.
They call upon Parliament to pass legislation to recognize the institution of marriage in federal law as being the lifelong legal union of one man and one woman to the exclusion of all others.
Routine Proceedings
3:15 p.m.
Canadian Alliance
Deborah Grey Edmonton North, AB
Mr. Speaker, this may be my last chance for me to present a petition. I would like to present a petition on behalf of many Canadians. I have presented thousands already for people who use alternative medicine, such as vitamins and supplements. They spend thousands of dollars out of their pockets.
Now it says in the Income Tax Act, "as recorded by a pharmacist", but there should be licensed health food stores that allow that as well. Also, because they spend many thousands of dollars on vitamins and supplements, they believe they should be GST exempt. This of course would help us in the long run as we baby boomers grow older.
Therefore, these petitioners call upon Parliament to take necessary steps to change paragraph 118.2(2)(n) of the Income Tax Act and that these things should be GST exempt.
I would like to pay tribute to Stella Melnychuk and her group Citizens for Choice in Health Care for their tenacity in bringing this issue forward time and again to Parliament, and certainly pray that something would be done about it finally.
Routine Proceedings
3:20 p.m.
Yvon Godin Acadie—Bathurst, NB
Mr. Speaker, I have two petitions to present. The first petition is on the employment insurance fund that now stands at $44 billion.
The petitioners request Parliament to call upon the government to make changes to the employment insurance program so that unemployed Canadian workers will have greater access to the program.
Routine Proceedings
3:20 p.m.
Yvon Godin Acadie—Bathurst, NB
Mr. Speaker, my second petition reads as follows:
We, the undersigned residents of Canada, draw the attention of the House to the following:
That we, the undersigned support the Sentier Péninsule bicycle path project.
Sentier Péninsule is part of the NB Trail and needs to be maintained for the benefit of future generations. Therefore, the petitioners call on Parliament to provide funding to revitalize this project in the Acadian peninsula.
Routine Proceedings
3:20 p.m.
Michel Guimond Beauport—Montmorency—Côte-De- Beaupré—Île-D'Orléans, QC
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to table a petition signed by several hundred citizens, most of whom are from the North Shore, but come also from the Upper North Shore, Forestville and Rivière-Portneuf RCMs.
The petitioners are asking the government to make extensive changes to the employment insurance program, to put an end to transitional measures, to increase workers' benefits and to adopt a universal employment insurance program.
I should point out that the petitioners signed this petition before the announcement made yesterday by the Minister of Human Resources Development and Skills Development. This announcement is deemed totally inadequate by the unemployed on the Upper North Shore, particularly seasonal workers. I am convinced that these people would immediately sign the same petition again.
Routine Proceedings
3:20 p.m.
Pat O'Brien London—Fanshawe, ON
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to present a petition from some 200 citizens of London, Ontario calling upon the Government of Canada to uphold the traditional definition of marriage as it has been known throughout the centuries and since the start of this country. The petitioners note that marriage is understood as between one man and one woman, which predates any existing state and crosses all cultural and religious lines.
In presenting this petition, it concludes the presenting of petitions of some 25,000 citizens of London, Ontario calling upon the government to take action and be consistent in defending the traditional definition of marriage. I am most pleased to support it.
Routine Proceedings
3:20 p.m.
Canadian Alliance
Diane Ablonczy Calgary Nose Hill, AB
Mr. Speaker, it is my honour to present a petition on behalf of over 500 constituents of my riding of Calgary—Nose Hill.
The petitioners pray that Parliament will pass legislation to recognize the institution of marriage in federal law as being a lifelong union of one man and one woman to the exclusion of all others.
Routine Proceedings
3:20 p.m.
Serge Cardin Sherbrooke, QC
Mr. Speaker, I am tabling a petition signed by several hundred persons. The petitioners are asking for the establishment of a regional passport office in Sherbrooke. This petition is in addition to the one that I tabled previously. This means that there are now over 13,000 people from Sherbrooke and the surrounding region who have signed a petition, which is a very clearly indication of the need expressed by the public.
Routine Proceedings
3:20 p.m.
Bill Blaikie Winnipeg—Transcona, MB
Mr. Speaker, it is my honour to present two petitions, both of which contain many thousands of signatures gathered through the Beads of Hope Campaign, organized by the United Church of Canada.
The petitioners call upon Parliament to use its influence in international financial institutions to cancel multilateral debt of impoverished countries, to cancel bilateral debt that developing countries owe to Canada, to continue to increase Canada's official development assistance to meet the goal of 0.7% of gross national income, while increasing support for the United Nations global fund to fight AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria and to promote sustainable development strategies prepared in-country with a high level of civil society input and involvement.
The petitioners also call upon Parliament to ensure that patents or trade related intellectual property rights do not block access to public goods like life-saving medicines.
They further call upon Parliament to double funding to the federal government's domestic program, the Canadian Strategy on HIV-AIDS, to address HIV-AIDS in Canada.
Routine Proceedings
3:20 p.m.
Canadian Alliance
Werner Schmidt Kelowna, BC
Mr. Speaker, a number of petitioners from my constituency pray that Parliament maintain Canada's multilateral approach to security and reaffirm this country's support for non-proliferation arms control and disarmament and that it reject any and all plans for weapons and war in space, including plans for missile defence. They seek Canada's withdrawal from any discussion or participation in missile defence and the weaponization of space.

/ Coosa Valley RC&D Sponsors "Ponds for Kids Project"
Loading Tree...
Students from Oxford Elementary stock fish pond that volunteers installed on their school ground to study aquatic ecosystem management.
By Eddie B. May, Coosa Valley RC&D Coordinator
The Oxford Elementary School community in Calhoun County is very proud of their new pond for kids recently installed on their campus. The self-sustaining pond was constructed by the students, teachers, parents and over 300 community volunteers.
The self-sustaining pond ecosystem was constructed in just one day at the site by students, teachers, and over 300 parents and community volunteers. Teamwork, responsibility, and stewardship were displayed at its best as everyone rolled up their sleeves and worked together; moving soil, transporting gravel, compacting soil, carrying fire hoses, placing the liner, laying rocks, planting aquatic plants and stocking the fish.
Doyle Keasal (Alabama Cooperative Extension System) was very instrumental in providing on-site directions to a group of more than 500 hundred excited workers. Doyle also assisted the teachers in formulating a lesson plan for the pond which will be used to study aquatic ecosystem management.
Special thanks to Cristy Humphries, Executive Director of the OCSEF; Dr. Jeff Goodwin, Oxford City School Superintendent; State Rep. Barbara Boyd; and all of the volunteers who came together in order to make this interactive outdoor classroom a success.
The effort was lead and sponsored by the Coosa Valley RC&D Council and the Oxford City School Education Foundation (OCSEF).

You can take some wet/dry sandpaper to the inside of that. Start with 600 grit. Use a little water. It should smooth that out considerably without ruining the beautiful flashing in there (very nice, by the way).
just sand a bit at first, then rinse and dry- remember that the texture is different if the bowl is wet or dry. You should get a nice satin surface.
I personally start with 200-400 grit, depending on the surface. Sanding is a normal part of the process for many wood firers.

Hey everybody,
You are all cordially invited to come down the Forest and hang out in the lovely basement of Lauriston Place. Don't worry, you don't need to have any background in building, just an interest in making the Forest even more awesome. Then again if you're a qualified plumber, electrician etc that's great news too.
The idea is we all get a cup of something and talk about what needs doing and how we might do it. That said if we can work on things and talk about how to sort other stuff all the better.
Time: Sat 24th November at 3 o'clock.

By Dr Ananya Mandal, MD
Acne or pimples is a skin condition that usually affects adolescents or teenagers but may affect an individual at any age. It leads to spots and boils over the skin of the face, forehead, neck, back and chest.
The spots may range from blackheads and whiteheads that are mild and painless to severe boils or pustules that are inflamed and pus-filled with intense pain.
Acne is most likely to be caused due to changes in hormone levels during puberty. This is the reason why it affects teenagers more than other age groups.
Those with oily skin are more susceptible to developing acne. Glands in the skin at puberty release an oily substance known as sebum. This sebum is thick and may block the small pores in the skin through which hairs grow. These are called hair follicles.
This leads to formation of blackheads and whiteheads. These hair follicles when blocked may get infected with bacteria to lead to acne.
Acne is hereditary and is seen to run in families. Hormonal changes during puberty and during the menstrual cycle or pregnancy may raise the risk of getting acne.
Diet or sexual activity is not related to acne. Acne is very common in teenagers and younger adults and nearly 80% of people between 1 and 30 may get acne at some point.
Among girls it is most commonly seen between the ages of 14 and 17 and among boys it is most commonly seen between ages 16 and 19 years.
Symptoms may come and go but seem to improve with age. Only around 5% of women and 1% of men have acne over the age of 25.
Keeping the skin clean and oil free is the most important step in prevention and treating acne. The affected areas as well as the areas that are prone to acne need to be washed twice a day with a mild soap or cleanser. The skin should not be scrubbed. This may irritate the thinner top layers of the skin leading to inflammation.
There are several creams, lotions and ointments that can be used for acne. This is not a curable condition and once the symptoms are gone, they are likely to return. Acne that affects chest and back may need to be treated with antibiotics and prescribed stronger creams.

Christ Is?Real Symbol Of Victory
To The Reader's Forum:
Tiger Woods, Nike and Jesus Christ. All of them symbolize victory. Tiger often wears a Nike cap while golfing.
The word "Nike" comes from the Greek goddess of victory. In 1 John 5:4, its word form nikao means 'to conquer, overcome or prevail'. In the game of golf, Tiger is the man who conquers the traps, hazards and reads the greens with excellence. He has the heart, mind and work ethic of a champion.
Jesus Christ is also a victor. He never wore a Nike cap, but he always thought victory. He never drove a golf ball, but he drove evil out of people's lives. He never read a green, but was able to read people's lives and motives.
He never received any trophies or large paychecks. His greatest joy was not the applause of men but to conquer all of life's traps and hazards. His perfect life qualified Him as sinless sacrifice for all of mankind at the cross. His victory continued when he rose from the dead.
Those who trust and follow Jesus will also become overcomers, not only in this life but in the next.
Tiger Woods knows the joy of taking the victory walk up the 18th hole as the crowd cheers. Even more, Jesus Christ deserves our adulation as we remember His victory walk up the Via Dolorosa to the cross and ultimately his victorious ascension to the portals of heaven.
Nike to you.

Church leaders tackle the stigma of mental illness
(RNS) For years, Southern Baptist leader Frank Page did not share the painful details of his daughter's suicide, fearing that some Christians might speak ill of her if they knew. Mental illness and suicide were taboo topics for many churches, seen as a kind of spiritual failure. That may be starting to change.

Shakugan No Shana
You're Not Human
Clip | TV-PG
From the studio behind Toradora! and Ōkami-san and Her Seven Companions comes the iconic series centered around the heated bond and supernatural battles of two friends from two very different worlds.
Wielding a blazing sword, Shana is a fiery huntress whose sole purpose is to fight demon-like beings that consume human lives. To reduce the impact on the human realm, Shana turns the slain into shadows of their former selves. Once a flame that represents their remaining life goes out, they fade from existence. This should be Yuji's fate, but when he discovers he holds a special power that ignites a newfound strength in Shana, they join forces in her ongoing mission to maintain the balance between the ordinary world and the supernatural.
When Evil Strikes, She Turns Up the Heat.
