thank you , i wll try it without the clearing process. actually in the 4 first moves i use an evaluation function and after that i am brut forcing to the end of the game tree,so i hope that this is still ok (to retain the positions searched in the "evaluation" part of the program).
and one more thing please.. i am trying to understand what exactly is a "hash move".. i know that when i am storing a position in my TT i should also store the best move (or something like that...). but when should i use it? at the beggining of alpha beta, when i am probing the table for a position, if the position is found in the table i just returning the score, or updating alpha/beta accordingly.. so when i get the change to use the hash move?? can you please advice on that?
I tries reading stuff on the net, but no one actually gets to the technical part

Elijah Sedgwick, Jr., graduated in 1826 from the College of Physicians and Surgeons of the Western District at Fairfield, New York, and filed a copy of his diploma with the Ontario County clerk. [See Hoolihan, Christopher. An Annotated Catalogue of the Edward C. Atwater Collection of American Popular Medicine and Health Reform. Rochester, NY: University of Rochester Press, 2001.]
Later, his name appeared in a list published in History of Ontario County, New York. Papers of the Ontario County Medical Society dating from their organization in 1806 until 1842 were destroyed by fire, and the list was described this way: "...a stray leaf from an old record is found, from which we learn the names of the early physicians of the county, but there is nothing by which can be determined the date of the entry." The name Elijah Sedgwick appears in the list, and this was certainly Elijah Jr., as there is no evidence that Elijah Sr. was ever a doctor.
According to information posted at Sedgwick.org, Elijah Jr. and his wife, Esther P. Bement, were known to have lived in Victor, and Esther is said to have died there in 1842. I don't have any evidence that Elijah Sr. ever lived in Victor.
Thus I'm convinced that it's Elijah Jr. whose name appears with others from Victor as one of several locality-based committees which together formed a larger committee whose anti-Masonic activities were a response to the disappearance and possible murder of William Morgan by Freemasons.
The Wikipedia summary of the William Morgan story will surely whet your appetite for more on this interesting case, which is still unsolved. Much has been written about it by both sides. I've collected some resources on the subject at my companion blog, My Ancestors in Books. Included there are the two books in which Elijah Sedgwick's name appears, followed by seven other books which are, in whole or in part, about Freemasonry and the William Morgan affair.
Considering the widespread upheaval and political ramifications that followed the disappearance of Morgan, I'm surprised I'd never heard of this before. No wonder I thought high school history was dull. They left out the really interesting stuff. William Morgan is not so much as a leaf on my family tree, but his events of 1826 were surely a topic of conversation among my kin--so much so that at least one of them, Elijah Sedgwick, Jr., took an anti-Masonic stand.
In another branch of the family, a son born in 1832 was named after Andrew Jackson, a Mason. Previously I thought this name was simply a statement of support for a president and his party, but considering the timing in conjunction with the controversy stirred up by the Morgan affair, I have to wonder whether it may have been a pro-Masonic statement as well.
Putting a Spin on It, 19th Century Style
One more thing before you go off to read about Morgan. It seems to me there are two kinds of books about this subject: those written by Masonic authors and those written by anti-Masonic authors. You'll notice the difference yourself, even in the pictures.
My Ancestors in Books, Bernard's anti-Masonic Light on Masonry, where it's identified as William Morgan. The Historical Association of Lewiston uses a very different portrait in their informative one-page PDF about William Morgan. At the website of the Masonic Grand Lodge of British Columbia and Yukon, a page entitled William Morgan notes displays the latter image and, in note number 20, has this to say about the two portraits:
"A posthumous portrait of Morgan first appeared as a frontispiece to David Bernard's Light on Masonry, printed by William Williams, Utica. Claiming to be from a painting by A. Cooley, the caption gives credit to V. Balch as sculptor, original copyright by Cooley in New York, April 1829. With this picture and a meticulously worded legal description, artist Noel Holmes was directed by William G. Vorpe, one of the editors of The Cleveland Plain Dealer, to draw the picture of Morgan found at the top left of this page."A third portrait, clearly based on the Holmes portrait, appeared in an 1883 book by Robert Morris (included in the post at My Ancestors in Books):
Labeled as "Fictitious Portrait No. 1," it was followed by "Fictitious Portrait No. 2," a crude copy of the one which appeared in Bernard's book.

Climate Change Effects On Wildlife
Why It Matters
So What Do We Do?
Climate change is a major issue facing humans today. People can argue over the cause and pattern of change, but it is clear that our planet's climate doesn't care about our arguments and is changing. For wildlife, these changes present many problems. Their biomes are changing and with them their resources. In the past, one way animals would deal with these sorts of changes was to immigrate to a new location if they could. The freedom to change where you are living can be an immediate and effective way to deal with environmental change. Unfortunately, this time humans have made such adaptations problematic. Humans have taken up a lot of space and disrupted key habitats, essentially limiting where wildlife can live and how much freedom wildlife has to move between habitats. Fortunately, people have been thinking about how to solve this problem.

Huzzah! Huzzah!
After much tinkering, I finally got CVS working with SourceForge.
LinuxPPC 2k
Still tinkering with yaboot. In the interest of having something that actually works, I'm trying again to get BootX to function properly. I'm not sanguine about my prospects though, considering the difficulties some people have had with BootX and OS 9.
Important tip to you B&W G3 owners trying to install
If you have a SCSI CD in addition to the IDE device that comes with the unit, the installer may not handle the setup of your /etc/fstab properly. I saw this with an old CD-R attached to mine.
Hardness value of Si3N4 too high by a factor of 4. I think its a data analysis issue, not a code issue. (whew)

Those that have Garmin Delta Collars, what are the good and the bad about them and would you buy another one? Are they too complicated to operate easily?
Try the search feature, plenty of discussions about them.
I have the garmin delta and have been using it now for a few weeks... I'm overall pretty happy with it, but if I could change anything about it I would like to see the level of stimulation dial larger with distinct clicks so levels could be changed with out looking at the collar. Im not to familiar with other collars and the levels of correction or stimulation but I know that for my male black lab a little more stimulation range would be nice. That being said my female lab doesn't need more than a two or three setting to get her thinking. It all depends on your dog.
Just my two cents...
Now I am not a full time trainer but I love the collar. Get it set where you want your levels and go. Seems durable and easy to use. Hunted in the pouring down rain and had no issues at all with it.
Lone Oak's Marley Man.. (My first)
Yea that's one of my rubs with discontinuing the Sport collars. Never had to look at that dial to tell what level you were on, not so with the "new better" stuff. Not a fan of them.
I dont adjust the settings differently my dog is a little soft so light nick will do the trick. I set it on the setting I want and leave it there and on for when I do need it.

In her newest (after The Secret Dreamworld of a Shopaholic), Kinsella pens her most lovably neurotic protagonist yet, throws her into a thoroughly modern romantic love triangle, and creates a laugh-out-loud comic caper. Physical therapist Poppy Wyatt is engaged to Magnus Tavish, a pseudo-celebrity academic and author of a book on cultural symbolism. A week before they're to be married, Poppy loses her emerald engagement ring—a Tavish family heirloom. In a hard-to-believe twist of fate, she ends up finding a stranger's cell phone in a garbage bin, which belonged to the former personal assistant of a handsome executive, who agrees to let her hold onto the mobile (whose number she's already given to everyone who might have information on the ring) until she gets her jewelry back, as long as she forwards any and all important messages his way. As Poppy continues her frantic quest to plan her wedding and impress her fiancé and his equally erudite parents, her life begins to intertwine with the mysterious exec in a way she never thought possible. Fresh, fast-paced, and fiercely funny, Kinsella proves once again that in chick-lit, it's less about the predictably feel-good dénouement, and more about the rollicking good ride it takes to get there.

The lore of the faery realm has, like the world of humans, traditionally focused on love—both tales of faery lovers and of fey beings who have fallen in love with mortals and sometimes tried to keep them forever in their faery kingdoms. These stories, whether perceived as pure lore or used as a way of explaining past mortal occurrences, tell the tales of true love, of faery temptresses, of lover's quarrels, and more. Cassandra Eason, author of The Magick of Faeries, explains the possible history behind these tales.

TUPELO – Janice Bell didn't know she was going to meet her guardian angel, Jeff Foster, when she started driving home Jan. 17.
The two were reunited last week to talk about the Thursday evening that brought them together.
Her new car had been handling the road construction along Highway 178 in New Albany well but that evening she hit one too many potholes and noticed her check engine light come on.
Some smoke began to rise from the hood of her car so she pulled over to the shoulder of the road, before Beacon Hill.
"I was going to call a wrecker service to come get my car," she said.
At that time, Foster, 46, of Shannon was leaving a friend's house and noticed the smoke coming from her car. He drove past but thought twice and pulled over.
"He said, 'Are you OK,' and I said, 'Yeah, I'm calling the wrecker service now,'" Bell remembered.
Foster said at that point the car was filling with smoke but Bell didn't notice because she was focused on calling the wrecker service.
He said he thought about leaving since Bell told him she was fine but again, changed his mind.
"About that time flames started coming out of the car and I ran over to get her out and she told me she can't walk," Foster said.
Bell was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2003 and has trouble walking on her own.
"I said, 'Well, we still have to get you out,'" Foster remembered, and he pulled her out of the car. He held her up and they started to walk back across the road to Foster's truck.
"I helped her walk about half way across the road and she said she was going to give out so I threw her over my shoulder and toted her the rest of the way," he said.
Once in the safety of Foster's truck, he said Bell told him she needed her purse that was still in the car. "It was too late for that, it was engulfed," he said.
"He carried me to his truck and I was so in shock that I was asking about my purse and worrying that my lipstick was burning," Bell said. "He's my angel."
That night Foster drove Bell to her New Albany home and waited with her while she sorted everything out.
Foster said no one was on the road when he saw the smoke and knew he needed to stop. "That's just the way I was raised," he said.
Bell patted Foster's hand when they were reunited last week. "There are still good people in the world," she said.
Bell has since been able to get a new car and sort everything out with her insurance. Foster has called and checked in on her a few times.
The two laughed like old friends Wednesday as he wheeled her to her new car at the North Mississippi Medical Center parking garage where she works in the Heart Institute. Foster works down the street at Century Construction.

Well, I've finally returned to the "real" world after nearly 3 months of turkey hunting, and I know y'all know what I mean when I say that I liked it FAR-better when all I had to do every day was wake up and go listen for gobbles! I squeezed out 59 days of hunting from March 17 to May 31, and hit 9 different states along the way, but both of these figures are a little lower than I'd originally intended, due to uncooperative toms keeping me from moving on to the next destination as soon as I would have liked. I even had to eat a pair of unfilled extra tags in a couple states, and once again affirmed that they don't taste nearly as good as fried turkey breast!
Overall, I'd rate the 2012 season as a fairly tough one, and it took lots of hard work to put any meat in the cooler. I suppose most of that can be explained by the warmest spring in recorded history, which seemingly threw every tom in the nation off of their rhythms, and once I left Florida I heard VERY little gobbling at all after the first hour of daylight. This silent-treatment continued to be the norm no matter what part of the country I was in, and it made for lots of non-action throughout most days. In fact, for the first time ever, we killed ZERO toms in the afternoon, and I couldn't even buy a gobble from the roost in the evening! While the last 3 weeks of May are usually my favorite time to be turkey hunting due to the number of lonely toms tearing the woods apart looking for hens, that wasn't the case this year, either...things just never got "right," and it was a struggle 'till the very end.
Despite these difficulties, I did manage to experience enough magical moments along the way to put together this little pictorial of my travels, and I hope y'all enjoy it.
As usual, I started in Florida and had 4 paying clients lined up on some good private ground. Things couldn't have gone any smoother at the sod farm, and within 3 days (and less than 5 hours of total hunting time), all 4 fellas had their first Osceola toms in-hand. Here are their pics:
Then, things got a little shaky for me personally when I moved to public ground for my own hunting. On the first day I boogered a tom, then proceeded to miss birds the next 2 days in a row! I can't explain such uncharacteristic ineptitude, other than to say, "shappo happo," but it put me in a terrible funk, to say the least! However, I made amends the following day with this tom, then killed my 2nd a few days later.
This picture is of my good friend and amazing turkey hunter/callmaker Charlie Parish, with a dandy tom sporting 1- 3/8" spurs. Charlie gets it done on those old Swamp Gobblers!
Then, I guided the daughter of a good friend on a limited-entry quota hunt, and she shot this fine bird to go along with winning our annual golf tournament (y'all ought to see Belinda hit a golf ball...amazing...watch out LPGA in a few years!!).
It was very dry in FL this year, so if you found any water at all, you found gators. On the way down to see what kinda dinosaurs were lurking in a deep hole of the river, we ran into this guy.
Then we found the gator-hole. You can't see 'em all in this pic, but there are at least 18 BIG gators visible in this little wet spot. We didn't go looking for more in the bushes, or go for a nice, cool dip in the lake, despite the heat!
Here's a little gator, with a big frog. It's eat, or get ate in the jungle!
This is just a part of my Florida "family." Some of these folks are local, and others are like me and have been coming down to hunt Osceolas for many years. We have big fun at our annual camp, and I wouldn't dream of missing it come springtime! From the left; me, my hero David Caudill (standing and 83 years young...killed a tom this year, too), Bill George (kneeling), my girlfriend Jen, Charlie Parrish's wife Cathy, Kenny Dorman, Marie Caudill (an amazing woman and turkey hunter, herownself), and legendary turkey-man Craig Morton. Belinda George is in front, with her tom.
After calling in 26 gobblers to less than 40 yards in 17 days of hunting/guiding, Jen and I reluctantly left Florida and traveled to Louisiana. When I shot this tom on the first day there, I had high hopes of finally having a good hunt in one of the states that most gives me fits. Oh, I love it there, but nothing ever comes easy in the land of The Big Easy. Well, the next 8 days proceeded to spiral downward and away from me, and by the end of it all I had to pack up and leave with a tag still burning a hole in my wallet. I never even heard a gobble the last 4 days, despite hunting in places where I'd been hearing 4-6 in each of the first 4 days of the trip. At least we got to eat lots of Boudin and Cracklins, and the one tom I killed was a danged good'un, so the trip was worth the hardships.
Plus, Jen and I had a wonderful time together. Unfortunately, her mom was terminally ill back in Louisville, so it was time to put her on a plane for home. The evening before she left, we went down to New Orleans and toured the French Quarter. It's a fun place to visit, and right after we got there, Jen suddenly rushes up to this crazy-looking guy that I'd never seen before and says, "Oh, my goodness, I can't believe you're here." I don't watch much TV, so I had no idea that this dude with about 3 teeth in his head was anyone special, but I guess he's got a show on The Animal Planet Station where he catches problem critters by hand...especially turtles, so he's called, "Turtleman." I'm sure y'all know who he is, and I've since seen the show, but at the time I just figured he was related to Jen, since her family is from eastern Kentucky and most all of 'em look like that. :bounce: Come to find out, he and his partner are indeed from the area where Jen's people call home, so maybe they are related? Can you say, "Live Action!?"
Next stop was New Mexico, and in an oh-so-hard to access spot that is absolutely jamb-packed with gobblers, I shot this tom. It takes a couple hours to hike outa that hellhole of a canyon, but it's always worth the effort!
There were only 6 non-residents drawn to hunt public land in Nevada this spring, and I was one of 'em. This is always a tough hunt, because there aren't very many turkeys to be found in the whole state, but this year I lucked into an absolute gem of a honeyhole, where I heard 5 or 6 toms every day. Plus, I'm pretty sure there wasn't another turkey hunter within 50 miles of me. I played it slow and enjoyed the tranquility, then shot a real arsekicker of a tom on the 3rd day. Here he is:
Having 3 more days before the Utah season started, I headed there to do some scouting. When hunting that state I usually like to pursue Merriam's up around Cedar City, but this year they still had lots of snow on that ground, and the highway into it had been destroyed by a landslide last fall. It would take about an 80 mile detour to get where I wanted to go, so I opted instead to stay low and hunt Rio's in another section of National Forest. I'm really glad I made that choice, as I found an area that I could scout by merely sitting in a lounge chair and reading a good book, while watching turkeys on a seperate piece of public land 3/4 of a mile away. I watched them strutting around for 2 days in the private land field to the right edge of this picture, but both days they walked out past the small copse of trees at it upper end at some point, and those trees grew on public property. Guess where I was sitting, come opening morning?
Having 4 more days before I could begin a hunt in Arizona, I then traveled back to New Mexico to try and fill my second tag. It didn't take long before this tom waltzed into my line of fire.
There are lots of incredibly beautiful views in the western states, and here is one of 'em. I found this spot in Utah.
Watching the news last spring, my attention was drawn to a huge fire that had started during the Memorial Day weekend, and was threatening to devour the entire eastern half of the state. Specifically, it seemed to be burning up the exact area where I had hunted the previous spring, and where I'd hoped to return this year. It ended up burning nearly 500,000 acres by the time they got it put out, so I was very nervous about applying for their drawing this year. But, I didn't figure a forest fire could totally wipe out the entire turkey flock of that region, and while that may've been true, it sure wrecked havoc on a beautiful part of the world!
In 2010 you couldn't count the number of toms gobbling along this ridgeline and its surrounding canyons. Guess how many I heard from here in 2012? That's right....NONE!
But, I did find turkeys, and I found them in areas just as devastated by the fire as the previous picture. In fact, they were roosting in burned, dead trees...the place looked more like a buzzard roost, until the gobbling started! Hunting in such a scorched area had its own set of difficulties and I struggled to get a handle on it for a few days, but in the end I shot this beautiful gobbler.
By now I was getting tired of the west and really eager to once again see the emerald green of my beloved midwest, but there was still time to squeeze in a short hunt in another of my favorite states...Kansas. This time I opted for WIHA (Walk-In Hunting Area) lands in Rio Grande country, and it surely did not disappoint. In fact, within 20 minutes of flydown time of Day 1, on ground I had never seen before, I shot this tom.
Then, I called in this tom from a measured 1.4 miles on Day 3 before finally getting the drop on him at 24 yards. He sported spurs of 1-3/8", and when I sat down for this picture, I realized that the plant in my right hand is wild hemp...it was growing EVERYWHERE in that drainage!
From there, I drove home to Indiana for a couple days of R & R, then on out to Pennsylvania to meet up with some of the best turkey hunters and friends I know. Here are Doug Pickle from Virginia, Craig Morton from Pennsylvania, Bill George from Florida, and myself. You'd think these turkey killers would stack 'em up in the area we hunt, but I would put my money up on the turkeys in that area any day of the week...they are TOUGH!!! We finally managed to kill a few, but it was a battle, and we all came away from it humbled and bloodied in body and spirit!
Very few seasons since 1989 have ended without me hunting in New York, and I have a second "family" up there that is very dear to me. In fact, the youngest member of that crew is now 18, and wants nothing more out of life than to be just like me. Despite such a flaw in judgement as this, my little buddy Trevor Bays is one helluva turkey hunter already, and I'm very proud of his numerous accomplishments along those lines. He's not gonna be like me...he's likely gonna far surpass anything I've ever accomplished in the turkey woods, and it was a joy to return "home" and hunt with him after missing the last 3 seasons. This year, we were able to spend the last 7 days of May chasing gobblers together, and on Day 2 I shot this tom that he called up for me...the first bird that I've ever killed where someone else did all the calling.
Then, we tried for a double on May 30, but Trevor missed his bird at 20 yards (twice), while I killed this one at about 30 after he shot. I tried to console my young friend by telling him that we'd get revenge the next morning, but it was obvious that he had little faith in such a scenario actually happening, and I knew missing like that really ate at his soul.....I know, because I've done the same thing MANY times!!!
Well, my protege still has a bit to learn, including patience, faith, and a thorough understanding of turkey behavior. You see, I KNEW we would be right back in the ballgame the following day, and I had total faith that we'd be bringing that tom home in an igloo coffin!
Sure enough, we saw the tom strutting around in a narrow hay field right before dusk, so the next morning we set up in a tall grass strip bordering its edge. Long before dawn broke I had already heard him drumming in the treeline in front of us, and when I pointed out the sound, Trevor heard it, too. That tom never gobbled a single time, but he drummed nearly continually, and when he flew down and landed in the hay, his feet touched down 40 yards away. Five minutes later he had strutted 11 yards closer to my soft perts and clucks (and 3 DSD hen dekes), where Trevor ended his life and the season in grand style!
So ends another turkey season. In 59 days, I called 52 toms "into camp," shot 13 myself, and had 6 more kills by other folks. I can't wait to do it all again next spring, and am already planning the itinerary...come on, SPRING!!!


text: My husband and I are looking for suggestions on training videos... We have an 8 mos. old male Chessie pup. We do have the 10 Min. retriever book and others specific to Chessies and have done a beginning formal obedience class with him, but think a video might be helpful too. We're not thinking of doing hunting trials with him, but would like to train him for duck/goose hunting and maybe agility. In the past, our dogs have been strictly family/ companion dogs (basic obedience) , so this is new territory for us to a degree, so I guess we'd need something for a beginner. Thanks!

Students perform in Spring Dance Festival
Posted February 15, 2010; 10:48 p.m.
More than 50 students from a range of academic departments will perform in Princeton's annual Spring Dance Festival Friday through Sunday, Feb. 19-21, at the Berlind Theatre.
Performances are slated for 8 p.m. Friday, 2 and 8 p.m. Saturday, and 1 p.m. Sunday. The event is sponsored by the Program in Dance in the Lewis Center for the Arts.
"For our students, performing on the beautiful Berlind stage after months of work is one of the most fulfilling and catalytic experiences of the year," said Susan Marshall, director of the Program in Dance. (Photo: Denise Applewhite)
This year's dance festival marks internationally renowned choreographer Susan Marshall's first season at Princeton as director of the recently established independent Program in Dance. It will feature new student work, three world premieres by guests and faculty, Twyla Tharp's historic "The Fugue" and Mark Morris' signature "Polka" from "Grand Duo."
The premieres include a ballet on pointe by American Ballet Theatre star Susan Jaffe, a contemporary dance by New York choreographer Camille Brown and faculty member Rebecca Lazier's comedic dance set to the music of Pink Martini. In addition, six student dances chosen from fall choreography courses will be performed.
"Our program courses and extracurricular offerings provide students with numerous opportunities to work directly with renowned choreographers and professional dancers to advance their understanding of dance performance, technique, choreography, history and theory," said Marshall. "The Spring Dance Festival highlights the accomplishments of the past semester and showcases student choreography alongside the work of proven masters, our esteemed faculty and celebrated professional choreographers. For our students, performing on the beautiful Berlind stage after months of work is one of the most fulfilling and catalytic experiences of the year."

Here, she discusses a student-choreographed piece, "Scratch Into Silence," with the 13 seniors who have worked on it. (Photo: Denise Applewhite)
Brown will premiere "City of Rain," set to a commissioned score by composer, performer and engineer Jonathan Melville Pratt. She has received numerous commissions from national companies including the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, Hubbard Street II and Philadanco.
Jaffe, a guest ballet choreographer at Princeton, will premiere "Pulse." This contemporary ballet on pointe with four movements is set to the atmospheres and rhythms from Donald Knaack's funky album, "Junkman," which features music produced on instruments made from recycled materials. Jaffe's new style infuses ballet technique with contemporary movement.
Lazier, a senior lecturer in the Program in Dance, will present "Night Blooms" to the music of Pink Martini. Inspired by shifting desires, clothes and hearts, the work will be performed by 16 Princeton dancers. Lazier is a Brooklyn-based dancer, choreographer and founder of the dance company Terrain.
Under the direction of Senior Lecturer in Dance Rebecca Lazier, 16 students will premiere her "Night Blooms," shown here in rehearsal. Other premieres will be Camille Brown's "City of Rain" and Susan Jaffe's "Pulse." Twyla Tharp's historic "The Fugue" also will be performed. (Photo: Denise Applewhite)
Morris' "Polka" premiered at the Manhattan Center Grand Ballroom on April 7, 1992, and became the keystone and final movement of his work, "Grand Duo" when it premiered a year later. The original version of "Polka" was for 16 dancers and was later reduced to 14 when incorporated into "Grand Duo." Lecturer in Dance Tina Fehlandt, a principal dancer with Mark Morris Dance Group for 20 years, has staged "Polka" for 12 Princeton students. The Boston Globe has referred to "Polka" as "… a great circle dance rooted in the squats, stomps and slaps of Eastern European folk dance (that) remains one of the most viscerally charged passages in the annals of modern dance."
Tharp's "The Fugue" premiered at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst on April 1, 1970. Its primary phrase of movement is a 20-count theme that its dancers variously execute by way of reversal, inversions and re-sequencings, all shaded by individually graded "attacks and coordinations." Actual tones accompany the dance as vivid pulse because of the "internal accompaniment" dramatically created by "The Fugue's" footfalls on an electronically amplified stage. The work will be staged at Princeton by Class of 1932 Visiting Lecturer Jennifer Way Rawe, a member of Twyla Tharp Dance from 1975 to 1988.
This year's concert also will highlight the choreography of Princeton students Lilly Akerman, Jeffrey Kuperman, Hannah Rich, Sarah Simon, Ariel Trilling, Eva Marie Wash and Bridget Wright.
Tickets are $15 for general admission and $10 for faculty, students, senior citizens and children. They are available online through University Ticketing or by calling (609) 258-9220 and through the McCarter Theatre box office at (609) 258-2787. There are a limited number of complimentary tickets for the Saturday and Sunday performances. Princeton faculty and staff members may obtain two free tickets to these performances by calling the McCarter box office and mentioning the "Princeton University Special Offer."

For some time, I've been working with Kevin Van Vechten on improving SystemStarter, a program I wrote for Mac OS X to bring up the system to the multi-user login prompt. It replaced /etc/startup from Rhapsody, and does what /etc/rc does in BSD systems. Part of its design is that startup tasks are encapsulated into "startup items," which are, in the simple case, a program and a configuration file. The program is an executable (usually a shell script) which takes a single argument like "start" or "stop" much like SysV /etc/init scripts. The configuration file (a property list) describes what the program does (displayed to the user), what services it provides, and what other services should be started before the program should be run. For example, Apache doesn't want to run until after the resolver is running.
One of the nice things about the design is that it is easily parallelizable given a dependency graph built from the information in the property list. Kevin has been doing some work to allow SystemStarter to bring up the system to a given point (eg. bring up the network) from single-user mode and to support a shutdown sequence as well. While I was integrating his code, I noticed that enabling parallelization became rather easy due to some cleanup we did in the process, so I spent a few hours implementing that, which is what I demonstrated at the open source session WWDC last week...
Apple's WorldWide Developers Conference was last week. There was the usual keynote by Steve Jobs and Avie Tevanian. Maybe I've been to a lot of these, but they are starting to feel pretty long. Steve had an attempt to scare developers into thinking that if they don't port their apps to run natively on OS X, that other product will get there first, and customers will switch. Now I think that's true for some programs, and I'll certainly use a native app over one that makes me launch classic, even if the native app is a little less cool, but the whole thing felt very contrived. Mentioning it was a good idea, but he and Avie both harped on it way too much, to the point where it felt really hollow by the end.
But there were some cool things about the keynote. One is that Apple has truly come about on the Unix front. There was a time when I had lunch with Jason Thorpe of NetBSD, and we were talking about Apple and NetBSD working together. Jason was very helpful, and NetBSD played a key role in getting the BSD subsystem in Rhapsody (which fed into Darwin/OS X) updated. (That work is by no means complete, but it got a lot better.) But I couldn't imagine Apple ever putting "powered by NetBSD" on any public material, and I told that to Jason. At that time, Unix was highly feared at Apple, as it threatened to make the system a lot scarier to users. But Apple has done a pretty good job (still a little more work to do there) of making Mac OS X take advantage of the Unix underpinnings without being a terror to users. And a lot of users think Unix is great and can interact directly with BSD if they choose to. The upshot is that Apple now sees BSD as a major asset, and no longer as a liability; this was obvious at the keynote, and it made me smile some.
One of the best things about WWDC is free Jamba Juice all week long! Woo hoo! Plus there is the free loot: I scored a free bag, Cocoa and Carbon books from O'Reilly, a decidedly spiffy Mac OS X leather jacket (courtesy of WWDR), and a most excellent Hexley shirt (courtesy of Brett Halle). All on a free pass. Party on.
I made it to the StepWise WWDC BoF which is always packed. This year was particularly crowded. Having gotten there late, I crawled over the people sitting on the floor and myself found a patch of carpet. Some cool things there...
My friends at NetStruxr have managed to release four of their toolkits for WebObjects developers under a BSD license. This is a big win for WebObjects developers looking to save time.
On a similar note, the MiscKit is getting its third reboot (once per operating system, NeXTStep, OpenStep, and now Mac OS). The MiscKit is a collection of Objective-C classes which are shared by the NeXT developer community. It is now starting again by updating the code base to the current Foundation and AppKit frameworks, and may switch to new licensing terms (I'm hoping, naturally, for a BSD license). The kit will switch from being a loose collection of submissions to a high-quality set of frameworks and an experimental set of frameworks where new code can be vetted. They are setting up CVS now. Bill Bumgarner has contributed his Python<->Objective-C bridge to the MiscKit, which is excellent. The bridge lets you call into Foundation and the AppKit from Python, which is way handy. Bill also wrote up an app which just exports Python as a Cocoa Service. This means that in *any* Cocoa application (and someday maybe Carbon apps; here's hoping), you can select some text and pull down a menu which causes that text to be evaluated as a Python expression. Shweet!
When I walked in, there was someone showing an Objective-C to Java bytecode compiler. I missed most of the demo, but this is truly psycho in the trademark Obj-C weenie style. Goes to show you can take Obj-C away from the program (WebObjects 5 in this case, which is now 100% Java), but you can't take Obj-C away from the programmer.
The Windows PC on my desk hasn't been turned on since my last diary entry. Whew. This week I need to learn how to build our stuff with it (I'll use Cygwin and fake it, I hope) and how to use Wise or some such to make packages. We'll see how that goes. What do you do with this other mouse button, anyway?

Braun (or Brown), Michael
ca. 1722–1807
Michael Braun (or Brown), frontiersman, master builder, and entrepreneur, is said to have been born in Hesse-Darmstadt, Germany. He stepped upon American soil at the port of Philadelphia 26 Sept. 1737, alighting from the ship St. Andrew Gally, John Stedman, master, from Rotterdam but most recently from Cowes. At that time, Braun was a lad of about sixteen; along with 140 other immigrants from the Palatinate, he took the oath of allegiance to his newly adopted country that very day. For fifteen or twenty years he stayed in Pennsylvania, having learned the trades of wheelwright and printer, and then he headed with his family and a good bit of money to the rolling hills of North Carolina. There he moved to the focus of North Carolina's pioneer history, becoming one of America's legendary frontiersmen.
He bought his first land in Rowan County from John Dunn in 1758; he and Dunn were among the first settlers of this area and were friends and neighbors. Braun bought many lots in the town of Salisbury, built several houses there, and lived there before settling a few miles south of the town by the Granite Ridge, near what is now Granite Quarry. In 1766 he laid the cornerstone to the Old Stone House, the oldest house still standing in Western North Carolina. The house is built of native stone with portholes in the gables. The lower floor contains five rooms, well finished with plaster, one of which is a kitchen with a chimney eight feet long and four feet deep. The stone over the front door is inscribed MICHAEL BRAUN MRICHREDA BRAUN IO PE ME BE MI CH DA M '1766. Tradition says the main part of the British army passed by the Stone House on the evening of 2 Feb. 1781 on the way to Alamance and that the deep gash in the old walnut facing of the door was made by a British sabre.
Braun was a rich and influential man for his time and place and a conscientious citizen. He was called esquire. In town he had a number of varied business interests: he kept an ordinary and had a tanyard, as well as renting his other houses. The year after he came to Rowan he was appointed magistrate in Captain Peter Faust's company. In 1761 the court minutes show that he was appointed constable, a position of some importance at that time. In 1765 he was overseer on the roads, and many times he served as a juror. He was appointed justice 6 Aug. 1777. The census of 1790 shows that he had fifteen slaves.
Braun and Frederick Fisher gave more than one hundred acres of land for the Dutch Pine Meeting House (now Union Evangelical Lutheran Church), and the original deed was made to them. It is safe to assume they were members of this early church.
Braun appears to have had at least three wives. From Pennsylvania he brought with him his wife Margareta, by whom he had six sons—David, Peter, Moses, James, and Jeremiah—and three daughters, who all died young. Margareta Braun died 20 July 1771, at the age of thirty-seven years, two months. She was buried in the Michael Braun Graveyard, once surrounded by a stone wall. In 1779 a wife named Rosanna signed a deed with Braun; and his wife at the time of his death was Eleanor Wakefield Reeves of Maryland, whose daughter Clementine, born after his death, later married Charles Verble.
Braun wrote his will 12 Oct. 1807 and died before 2 Feb. 1808, when it was proved in open court in Rowan County and ordered recorded in Rowan County Will Book D:17. In this will he left Eleanor the Stone House and named Montford Stokes guardian for his unborn child. His grave, presumably in the family graveyard, is unmarked, as are those of his other wives and his daughters.

Category: Seastars and relatives view all from this category
Description Eccentric sand dollar (Dendraster excentricus), also known as the sea-cake, biscuit-urchin, western sand dollar, or Pacific sand dollar, is a member of the order Clypeasteroida, better known as sand dollars, a species of flattened, burrowing sea urchins found along the Pacific Ocean from Alaska to Baja California.
Dendraster excentricus is an irregular echinoid that is flattened and burrows into the sand, unlike the regular echinoids,or sea urchins. It can be found living in the Pacific Ocean from Alaska to Baja California.The range for Dendraster excentricus is larger and includes the range of the other two extant species of Dendraster: D. vizcainoensis and D. terminalis. The flower pattern in this species is off-center, giving it the species name excentricus. Its test (skeleton) is compared to that of a sea urchin below.
Habitat Ocean or bay shallows.
Range Alaska, California, Western Canada, Northwest.

Buddy Guy: A Man and His Blues
Originally printed in Guitar World Magazine, October 2005
Jimi Hendrix learned at his feet. Eric Clapton calls him "the greatest living guitarist." On the eve of his new release, I Got Dreams, blues legend Buddy Guy reflects on his greatest recordings.
Buddy Guy's Legends club sits on a windswept Chicago street corner. It's not one of those Disney-fied, touristy blues places but a bona fide neighborhood joint with neon beer signs and walls that have been spray painted black. The club's upstairs offices are equally down to earth: dinged-up metal desks, clutter everywhere and a battery-challenged smoke alarm that chirps constantly. No one seems to notice.
Seated at a desk that looks like it could once have belonged to an automotive repo man, Buddy is dressed in a light-blue windbreaker and matching Kangol hat. His hands cradle an old black-and- white photograph that shows Buddy with Muddy Waters and Willie Dixon at the historic Chess recording studio in Chicago. The years seem to melt away as Buddy gazes down at the image.
"Man, you can see the expression on my face," he says, beaming. "To sit there and play behind Muddy Waters—I was in heaven."
At 70, Buddy Guy is our greatest living link between the blues' storied past and its vibrant present. He has traded licks with the founding fathers of electric blues, the Sixties rock gods and today's finest young bloods. As blues guitarists go, they just don't come any better than Buddy. His utterly unique sense of phrasing seems hardwired to the emotional logic of choked-back tears. Astoundingly agile, he can make a Fender Stratocaster sing the proud exuberance of human sorrow transmuted to pure beauty.
Buddy's brand new album is titled I Got Dreams. A soul-flavored disc, it shows the blues titan putting his distinctive stamp on tracks by legends like Wilson Pickett, Eddie Floyd and Johnny Taylor, and his own new composition "What Kind of Woman Is This." The album was recorded in part at Memphis' historic Royal Studio. Royal owner and noted R&B producer Willie Mitchell contributed horn arrangements on several tracks. Frequent Keith Richards collaborator Steve Jordan produced the star-studded disc, which also features Robert Randolph and Anthony Hamilton joining in on a version of Bob Dylan's "Lay Lady Lay" that boasts the first ever Buddy Guy blues solo performed on electric sitar. "I never got a chance to do that before," he says with a laugh.
Elsewhere on the album, Carlos Santana teams up with Buddy on a blazing rendition of the Screamin' Jay Hawkins classic "I Put a Spell on You." Recently, Santana has become a major Buddy Guy booster. The two are also collaborating on a duet album that should be out soon. And on a more youthful note, John Mayer makes a guest appearance on I Got Dreams, trading lines with Buddy on "I've Got Dreams to Remember."
"It's an Otis Redding song that John actually picked for me to do," says Buddy. "He told me, 'This song fits you. You can do something with this.' At first I said, 'Wait a minute, John, that's not my type of stuff.' Then I got in the studio and said, 'Hey, this feels good!' John and I have been jammin' a while now. He's a great young man, selling a lot of records. I feel so proud of him. Every once in a while the blues needs an Eric Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughan or Johnny Lang to come along and give it a lift. 'Cause the blues has been fightin' for life ever since I've been knowing it. But the way I love the blues, I'll just go down with it."
Mayer is the latest in a long line of noted guitarists who have paid homage to Buddy Guy. Jimi Hendrix literally knelt at Guy's feet to study his astounding technique. Eric Clapton, another major acolyte, has repeatedly called Buddy "the greatest living guitarist." Stevie Ray Vaughan never would have picked up a Stratocaster without Buddy's inspiration. So it's more than fitting that Buddy was admitted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year, the latest in a parade of honors that time has brought in its wake.
"It's like sitting on top of the world," says Buddy of his induction. "But every award I ever received in my life, I accept it in honor of the people who should have got it long before me, like Son House, Mississippi Fred McDowell, Lightnin' Hopkins and T-Bone Walker. All those guys should have had the awards that a lot of us are gettin' now. So their name is on mine."
In matters of blues history, Buddy possesses a ready and vivid memory. He seems to feel the bitterness of each rip-off and the glory of each musical triumph as if they happened yesterday. As he reflects on some of his greatest recordings, from the late Fifties to the present day, the recollections come flooding back, infusing the hallowed grooves with the living truth they call "the blues."

I synch'ed CVS with the latest version of the code last night. There's still a few bugfixes that I've since written, but not yet committed, but they too will be in CVS a little later tonight. Changelogs are here.
Through judicious use of the Observer pattern, I replaced the polling loop in the IOEventStream class with a loop that locks a ConditionVariable. The condition variable is signalled whenever one of the Subject objects calls update(), so now IO is only done when there are actual pending events. It had the side-effect of cleaning up the code, too, which is always a good sign. Load average in the IOEventStream test harness with no keyboard activity: 0.02.
I'm now working through some issues with the way login events are handled, and I realized that the reconnect() method is too tightly coupled to the SocketOutputFilter, so I'll see if I can come up with a more elegant implementation tonight.

Mmm poori. This was originally intended as part of my Hanukkah 2010 menu series, however time and health intervened. However, better late than never right? 🙂 Poori is an Indian fried bread that I was first introduced to during my years at Smith College [1] in Northampton, Massachusetts. There it was served, at the amazing India House restaurant [2], in spectacular fashion. A hollow shimmering bread the size of a small beachball! I loved tearing into it, marvelling at its thin slightly sweet and crispy shell, never thinking that one day I'd be able to make my own!
Surprise newsflash – It's not that hard! Turns out poori is an extremely common Indian breakfast staple. With millions of home cooks making it daily it really shouldn't intimidate you too much. The hardest part is getting the breads rolled out to the right thickness, and making sure that they puff evenly. These two steps are not difficult to master however and after one or two batches you should be getting the hang of it!
My main three tips are these:
1) Oil your hands liberally when shaping the poori. Flour will discolor the oil
2) Tap the circumference of the poori a few times just before they reach the surface. Then rub with the back of the spoon to encourage even puffing
3) Watch the following video to better understand the above! 🙂
So ready to get started now?
Makes 16 poori
1 cup chapati/atta flour plus 1/2 cup all-purpose flour -or- 3/4 cup whole wheat flour plus 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons vegetable oil + additional oil for hands as well as frying
½ cup warm water
1. Combine flours and salt
2. Rub oil into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Add water to form a dough.
4. Oil hands and knead dough until it is soft, smooth and shiny in appearance (can take up to 10 minutes).
5. Cover dough with damp towel or plastic wrap and allow to rest for 30 minutes.
6. Knead quickly for a minute or two
7. Divide into 2 equal portions
8. Roll each portion into a rope and cut each rope into 8 equal portions
9. Roll these into smooth balls and put them back into the bowl (you can oil them upon completion to prevent them from sticking to each other)
10. Roll out into 5-inch circles. (The oil should prevent the dough from sticking to the pin or work surface by this point. If not add more 🙂 At this point you can leave them in a fridge, covered, for up to a day before frying, but who wants to wait that long? 🙂 )
11. Heat oil. You'll know it's ready when a wooden spoon handle dipped in immediately forms bubbles around its circumference.
12. Drop one bread at a time into the oil. Don't crowd the pan – I like to work with 2 – 3 at a time as I have a smaller pan.
13. As the bread begins to rise to the surface tap the circumference lightly with a spoon, then rub the middle of the surface in smooth circular motion, keeping the bread from completely breaking the surface (don't be too forceful with the spoon, it should be a gentle caressing movement 🙂 )
14. If you've done the above step correctly you will feel the bread begin to puff, release the spoon and allow the bread to fry for 10-15 seconds, then flip and fry for another 10-15 seconds.
15. Remove and drain.
16. Enjoy! 😀

As you know I am a sports fan, and because of the nature of my work (Yeah.. I need to work to fund my Scouting habit). I listen to Sports Talk radio.
This week we have been bombarded by the sports media on the subject of sensitivity regarding comments made by a reporter for the Golf Channel. You can read about here, I am not going to recap it for you.
But this got our local afternoon sports talk show talking about the responsibility of athletes and those in the public eye (actors and the like) to speak out on social issues.
They took a poll today asking the Portland audience what they thought as well as taking comments on the air.
Well this got me to thinking about the subject and of course how it can be applied or should be applied in a Scouting context.
So here is my 2 and 1/2 cents.
First- I do not think that those in public eye need to comment. For the most part I do not think actors and actresses and athletes are qualified to speak on behalf of a group of people. African American Basketball players are not a microcosm of the African American community and therefore do not have the expert training and development to force social change. They are entitled to their opinion and have the right to express it. But, because an athlete says it, does not make it the gospel truth. Same goes for actors. Brad Pitt is not the worlds premier expert on social issues. He has a platform from which he can speak that may not be made accessible to those of us not in the lime light, but I do not expect social change to start with him.
Second- The issue of race constantly is brought to the table. Yes the comment made by Kelly Tilghman was not appropriate, but now we are getting into the sensitivity issue.
Let me take just a few sentences to qualify that remark.
My family is from Germany via Russia. This year we found out about unbelievable, unspeakable atrocities that happened to Germans from Russia, my family included. Germans that were conscripted by Catherine the Great to work Russian land, were rounded up and sent to Siberia and other locations to work camps, later many of them were mass murdered, because they were German. The remainder lived in Russia as slaves of the new government and lived lives in hard labor and meaningless existences. I suppose I am lucky that my ancestors got out before they were rounded up. 5 of my great, great, great Uncles were not so lucky, and we have the documentation to show when and where they were murdered.
Here is the point. When I hear the word Siberia, I do not run and hide, get upset, or fear for my life.
No one has been "Lynched" in America in Generations. No one has been shackled to a ship and forced into Slavery in America in Generation, in fact… there is not an African American in America today that is a slave or knows first hand anyone living that was one. And by first hand I mean can pay the person a visit and have a chat about their experience.
Yes African Americans paid an unnecessary price and have endured unspeakable tragedy, and for that I feel nothing but the most pain in my heart for them. But it is 2008 and we need to move on. Was that not the purpose of the Civil Rights movement?
We have spent the better part of 30 years trying to heal wounds and make things better. We honor those that fought, Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King and the like have made contributions to America that we are eternally in debt for. But the fact that we can not seem to move on and progress worries me.
Every time someone says something stupid, should we not chalk it up to stupidity and move on. I think we as a nation are smarter now than ever before and should be able to apply a common sense approach and discern what is hateful and what is stupid.
Kelly Tilghman said something stupid. She is a friend of Tiger Woods, and did not have the least bit of hate in her comment. She was suspended by Fox and will spend the rest of her life in the shadow of her comment. And yeah… you reap what you sow. But why does Al Sharpton need to stand up and play the race card. Tiger does not seem to care.. and the comment was directed at him, not the African America community.
Over sensitivity will never allow us to move on. We should never forget the past, and always apply the lessons learned. Slavery of any race is horrible and a violation of all human rights. But we do not have slaves in America now and a "Word" will not bring it back. Using the word "Lynch" in the context of a golf game is not going to insight gangs of hooded cowards to round up people and hang them.. this is just a ridiculous thought.
I understand that it offends some people… but why? It's a word, much like any other. If you are offended by it, it is because you refuse to move on. Easy for me to say… NO. But in the context of America today it is a safe thing to say. We do not live under the threat of such things. And I highly doubt given the sensitivity of our American people, we will ever see that again. And that is a good thing. It means America is trying to move on. Not forget, not discount, not make light of, but move on to being a better Nation where we are "not judged by the color of our skin, but by the content of our character".
Third- The context of Scouting and this issue.
Real simple. The Scout Oath and Law will not allow it.
To truly be Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful, Friendly, Courteous, Kind, Obedient, Cheerful, Thrifty, Brave, Clean, and Reverent a person must live the values contained within. A friendly person will not harm another or do things to slander or hate. One that is kind and obedient will put others concerns and needs before themselves. It takes bravery to stand up for what is right. A clean heart and mind will not allow for hateful expression, and a Reverent person believes in the golden rule of "Doing unto others…"
As I listened over the past few days, I worried about this. Sure we should talk about it, it is how we move on. But it also seems that making everything an "Issue" just keeps us in a stagnate mode spinning in a circle that allows for no upward movement socially.
I am just a Scoutmaster, with an opinion like everyone else. Some agree with me, some do not. But what you can not disagree with is the fact that what I do is teach and expect young men, those young men that one day will be the heart beat of our social conscience leading our country in the future, to learn and live by a set of values that are good and right.
And at the end of the Good and Right always win!
We prove that over and over, just look at our history. We may take too much time to figure it out, but in the end we learn and do our best to make it right.
Happy Scouting!

paradise fish :-(
Hi, i have a coldwater paradise fish who shares a 60 litre tank with a yellow goldfish, shebunkin and a loach, i had an albeno paradise fish (also cold water) but she died about a week ago :-( but my other paradise fish seems very quiet and doesn't swim much, doesn't eat and is also losing his colour, how can i help him? will a companion help him??? please help!! thank you x
First off, welcome to the forum.
The last thing you should do is add any more fish. Goldfish are huge waste producers and can get quite large, as do loaches, so they do not belong in such a small tank. Do you have any test kits to test your water parameters such as ammonia and nitrate? If you want to keep a healthy tank, you need to stock it appropriately. If possible, I would suggest either finding a new home for the goldfish and loach or upgrading to a larger tank. There are plenty of experienced people on this site to guide you in the right direction so I hope you visit often and enjoy the forum. Good luck.

By PATSY R. BRUMFIELD/Daily Journal
OXFORD – Ten people, most from northeast Mississippi, stand accused in a conspiracy to sell cocaine and marijuana in the region.
The object of the alleged conspiracy, a three-count federal indictment states, was to establish a cocaine and marijuana distribution network to continuously supply customers.
Wednesday, two of the defendants were brought for an initial appearance before Magistrate S. Allan Alexander, who ordered their detention.
All 10 are accused of the conspiracy in Count One. Their alleged illegal acts occurred from Oct. 1, 2011, through May 31, 2012 in Tupelo and Okolona.
They are Denorris Howell, 29, of Waterford, Eric Mills, 36, of Rienzi, Shawn Michael Brown, 38, and Marty Lambert, 43, both of Booneville, Brandon Demario Wells, 23, of Decatur, Ill., and all from Corinth, Jay Hill, 29, Qavis Deron Green, 25, Antonio Bean, 35, Kenneth Scales, 48, and Arielle Wells, 23.
Count Two accuses Mills of possessing firearms in the alleged commission of drug trafficking.
Mills is the only one accused of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon in Count Three.
If convicted, they all are subject to forfeiture of anything they derived from the illegal activities.
Punishments range from five years in prison and $250,000 fine to 30 years in prison and $2 million fines, the more severe for anyone with a prior drug felony conviction.
Alexander ordered Hill and Mills temporarily detained.
No others have made any court appearances yet.

Back when most resorts discouraged treeskiing, Jay was chill. Now they're reaping the rewards of that progressive attitude. Hardcores come from afar for chutes and glades and the deep powder that so often smothers them. Jay reports more snow than any other Eastern resort. That's good for the No. 1 ranking in Snow to go with No. 1 rankings Terrain/Variety and Challenge and a No. 5 for Overall Satisfaction. For now, as one reader puts it, it's "BYO nightlife." But with a new base village rising, not for long.

Ulysses S. Grant
About the Author
Ulysses Simpson Grant, the commander-in-chief of Union forces during the final years of the Civil War and subsequently the eighteenth president of the United States, was born on April 27, 1822, in a two-room cabin in the remote settlement of Point Pleasant, Ohio. His family, he proudly declared, had been American 'for generations, in all its branches, direct and collateral.' When he was eighteen months old the Grants moved to the nearby village of Georgetown, where his father established a tannery. A taciturn, solitary child who loved horses, Grant received a rudimentary education at local subscription schools. He also attended the Maysville Seminary in Maysville, Kentucky, and the Presbyterian Academy in Ripley, Ohio. In 1839 his father arranged for him to enter the United States Military Academy at West Point. 'If I could have escaped West Point without bringing myself into disgrace at home, I would have done so,' Grant later confessed. But he excelled in mathematics and engineering, graduating with an overall academic standing that placed him in the middle of the class of 1843.
Commissioned a brevet second lieutenant in the 4th Infantry Regiment, Grant reported to Jefferson Barracks, Missouri, then the largest army base west of the Mississippi. He fought under General Zachary Taylor in the Mexican War of 1846, serving with many officers he would later command or fight against during the Civil War. Upon returning home in 1848 he married Julie Dent, the sister of a West Point classmate. Grant spent the next six years assigned to routine garrison duty in a succession of dreary military posts and began drinking heavily. He resigned from the army in 1854 with the rank of captain and went back to Missouri to seek employment. He failed miserably at several different occupations and finally ended up working as a clerk in his father's leather-goods store in Galena, Illinois.
With the outbreak of the Civil War in 1861, Grant re-entered the service as a colonel in the Illinois volunteer regiment and was soon appointed brigadier general. After leading expeditions that seized Fort Henry and Fort Donelson, the first major Union victories in the war, he commanded forces at the battle of Shiloh and later broke Confederate control of the Mississippi by capturing Vicksburg. President Lincoln promoted him to lieutenant general and named him commander of the Union army following the success of the pivotal Chattanooga campaign. The appointment seemed to support Grant's own assertion that 'it is men who wait to be selected, and not those who seek, from whom we may always expect the most efficient service.' In spite of heavy losses in the bloody Wilderness campaign aimed at immobilizing General Robert E. Lee near the Confederate capital at Richmond while General William Tecumseh Sherman led the western Union army southward through Georgia, Grant eventually crushed the enemy and accepted Lee's surrender at Appomattox Court House on April 9, 1865.
In 1868 the Republican Party nominated the popular war hero as their presidential candidate, and Grant was elected with a narrow victory in the popular vote. Lacking an overall vision for the country, he proved ineffective as president while his cabinet of cronies and political contributors was both incompetent and corrupt. As Grant later confessed: 'I did not want the Presidency, and I have never quite forgiven myself for resigning the command of the army to accept it.' He won re-election in 1872 despite a series of financial scandals that forever tarnished his administration. A contemporary, the skeptical patrician Henry Adams, delivered a stinging indictment of Grant and Gilded Age politics that has become justly famous: 'The progress of evolution from President Washington to President Grant, was alone evidence enough to upset Darwin.'
Upon leaving the White House in 1877, Grant embarked on a two-year journey around the world. After a failed bid for a third term as president, Grant settled in New York City, where he became associated with an investment firm only to be swindled by his partner and left financially ruined. In 1884 he began to write reminiscences of his military campaigns for the Century Magazine. Though suffering from cancer of the throat, Grant signed a contract with Mark Twain to publish his memoirs and devoted the last months of his life to writing an account of the war in which he had played so large a part. Ulysses S. Grant died in Mount McGregor, New York, a summer resort in the Adirondacks, on July 23, 1885, less than one week after finishing work on the final proofs of Personal Memoirs. Issued posthumously, the book sold three hundred thousand copies, earning Grant's widow roughly $450,000 in royalties.
'No other American president has told his story as powerfully as Ulysses Grant did in his Personal Memoirs,' judged biographer William S. McFeely. 'The book is one of the most unflinching studies of war in our literature.' Gertrude Stein admired it extravagantly, noting: 'I cannot think of Ulysses Simpson Grant without tears.' In Patriotic Gore: Studies in the Literature of the American Civil War, Edmund Wilson wrote: 'This record of Grant's campaigns may well rank, as Mark Twain believed, as the most remarkable work of its kind since the Commentaries of Julius Caesar. It is also, in its way&–like Herndon's Lincoln or like Walden or Leaves of Grass–a unique expression of the national character. . . . The capacity for inspiring confidence, the impression Grant gave of reserves of force, comes through in the Personal Memoirs without pose or premeditation. . . . What distinguished Grant's story from the records of campaigns that are usually produced by generals is that somehow, despite its sobriety, it communicates the spirit of the battles themselves and makes it possible to understand how Grant won them. . . . He has also, without conscious art, conveyed the suspense which was felt by himself and his army and by all who believed in the Union cause. The reader finds himself involved–he is actually on edge to know how the Civil War is coming out.' And Gore Vidal concluded: 'It is simply not possible to read Grant's memoirs without realizing that the author is a man of first-rate intelligence.'

Exchange Homemade/Recycled Cards or Send E-Cards
Making your own cards from newspapers, construction paper around the house, stamps, stickers, etc. allows you to use your resources and your creativity. Making keepsake Valentine crafts are also a great way to spend some quality art time with your kids (and the praise and adoration from grandparents is sure to please them as well). Sending e-cards is also a way to eliminate the paper. Some e-card companies offer interactive options, so kids can have fun picking or creating the perfect love note to their aunty.Image via Lagusta's Luscious
Choose Eco-friendly Chocolates or Sweets
Sweets may be requisite on Valentine's Day, but make sure the chocolate beneath those shiny red wrappers is green. One company we love is Divine Chocolates, and they are featuring chocolate hearts for Valentine's Day, made with Fair Trade ingedients. For adults only, try some of Theo's organic and Fair Trade aphrodisiac collection. Or splurge on Lagusta Luscious's chocolate of the month club or her Anatomical Hearts, all of which are vegan, organic, and made with Fair Trade ingredients.
Swap Overhyped V-Day Dinner Dates for a Homemade Meal or Potluck Party
Skip the overpriced Lovers' Special Prix Fixe at a local restaurant that likely features out-of-season produce. Instead make your own vegetarian Valentine's Day feast using local ingredients. Finish on a sweet note with some vegan pudding or a dessert using citrus fruits, many of which are in season this time of year. Try some fun ingredients that are red such as goji berries or mix in some heart-healthy nuts or choose seasonal treats like sweet potatoes or acorn squash. Making the evening into a family affair, or even a pot luck with friends is a nice way to share the holiday with everyone.Image © flickr user JSmith Photo
Spread the Love
As parents, we are lucky to have the unconditional love of our children. Not everyone is so fortunate to be surrounded by little people who adore and need them, so spread the love around and share the true meaning of the day. As a family, make cards to send to kids in the hospital, make a huge Valentine's sign for a nursing home, or even whip up a batch of healthy cookies or muffins for the underappreciated people in your everyday life-the postperson, a bank teller, or garbage person.Image © flickr user meemal
Make Heart-Healthy Decisions as a Family
With all the focus on hearts on Valentine's Day, make a family pact to start a healthy habit. You can think of every Valentine's Day like a New Year's celebration for your family's heart health. Whether it's taking a post-dinner walk, foregoing sugary breakfast cereal for healthier oatmeal, or even trying some family yoga or meditation (good for hearts and minds), thinking up small ways to improve health together is a great way to discuss fitness and nutrition in a fun setting that gives them the opportunity to offer some input.Image © flickr user jasontucker
Don't Forget the Other Members of your Family
Pets are truly the masters of unconditional love, so celebrate their place in your family during the holiday as well. Kids will be thrilled to cook up a healthy treat for your dog or cat – Dog Treat Kitchen has tons of ideas to get you started. Make sure you check with your vet if you have any dietary concerns. Or check our Great Green Pet, a website devoted to treats and goodies for animals of all sorts. And since our busy lives often mean Fido gets abbreviated walks, make pet playtime and walks a priority.

Lecture examines Shakespeare, race, April 9
Posted April 4, 2007; 02:48 p.m.
Depictions of race in the works of William Shakespeare will be examined in a lecture scheduled for 5:30 p.m. Monday, April 9, in 101 McCormick Hall.
The talk, "Shakespeare Imagines Race: Venice and the 'Barbarous Ethnickes,'" will be delivered by Leonard Barkan, Princeton's Arthur W. Marks '19 Professor of Comparative Literature.
"Barbarous Ethnickes" was English writer Thomas Coryat's description of the mix of races and nationalities he encountered in traveling to Venice in 1608. Coryat's contemporary, Shakespeare, never traveled to Venice and likely had little experience with anyone except white European Christians. Yet when Shakespeare located plays in the city, he imagined a supreme military leader who was African and a powerful financier who was Jewish. Barkan's lecture will examine how Shakespeare imagined such unknown beings and the impact of his depictions.
Barkan's talk is the second annual James Baldwin Lecture sponsored by the Center for African American Studies in honor of the essayist and cultural critic. The series aims to celebrate the work of Princeton faculty and to reflect on issues of race and American democracy.

Good headphones for the price
Pros: Very comfortable, Good sound quality
Cons: Weak bass, Headband cracks after about 2 months
First, I would like to say that the HD 595 are an excellent audiophile entry headphones, they are very very comfortable. I can wear them for about 8+ hours with no discomfort at all. Sometimes, I even forget that I am wearing them!
When I first put them on, they felt a little weird on my ears, the ear cups are very large but I soon got used to it. I did not say wow! or anything like that when I first heard them but after a while I start to hear all the little details that have been missing. I think that the HD 595 are very balanced and neutral headphones but they lack bass. I have auditioned (and owned) a lot of headphones and the HD 595 are one of the most darkest sounding headphones I have ever heard.
Summary: If you're are looking for an audiophile headphones that wont require an amp, and is a little tight on budget, you cant go wrong with the HD 595.

Patterson presents 'Short History of Freedom'
Posted February 19, 2009; 11:57 a.m.
"A Short History of Freedom: The Origins and Institutionalization of Freedom" is the theme of three lectures to be delivered by sociologist Orlando Patterson at 8 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday, Feb. 24-26, in McCosh 10.
Patterson's talks will examine the history of the Western concept of freedom, focusing especially on the paradoxes of its development in America, where slavery and an ardent defense of democracy coexisted at the birth of the nation.
Known for his work regarding issues of race, gender, and poverty, Patterson is the John Cowles Professor of Sociology at Harvard University. Between 1972 and 1979 he served as an adviser on social policy to Michael Manley, then prime minister of Patterson's home country of Jamaica. Patterson's books include "Slavery and Social Death" (1982), "Freedom in the Making of Western Culture" (1991), which won the National Book Award for nonfiction, and "The Ordeal of Integration" (1997). He also has published three novels and is a frequent contributor of essays to The New York Times, Time and Newsweek magazines and other major publications.
