As unfaded as songs from the 1960's and 70's, the vivid Marimekko pop, bloom and squiggles (and the electric blues, magentas, scarlets and yellows) are bursting onto the fashion and home furnishings scene again. They still look like wet lollipops.
The brazenly populist all-cotton textiles, which shocked the sober Finns 50 years ago and gave them their first and only international fashion presence, are breaking cover now as a modern collectible that is rapidly turning into a cult. The high interest in Scandinavian modern, from cocktail glasses to Abba, has turned material.
Designers like Anna Sui have been buying vintage Marimekko yardage. Ms. Sui, who also collects the smock dresses from the 1960's, reinterpreted both fabrics and cuts in her fall 2001 collection. She recently visited the Marimekko factory in Helsinki, buying striped socks for friends.
''The bright oranges and pinks and avocados are all colors I grew up with,'' said Ms. Sui, who was born in Dearborn, Mich. She added that from a fashion perspective, ''Marimekko is popular now because it is a reaction to all the neutrals.''
Yola Colon, a New York designer, incorporated pieces of vintage Marimekko into her fall collection last year. Tracy Feith counts the skirts and dresses in bold Finnish patterns among his best sellers for this summer. Mr. Feith used a classic design, Unikko, designed by Maija Isola in 1966, which is being reissued now by Marimekko.Continue reading the main story
Anthropologie's line of clothing made from reissued Marimekko sold out in weeks. Barney's selected recent stock -- trays, bags and oven mitts -- is already on reorder. Crate & Barrel's newly introduced Marimekko bedding hit its stores several weeks ago. Chicago and New York sold out over the first weekend.
And Tiffany Dubin, whose boutique at Bendel's is to open this fall, is putting together a collection of rarer patterns, out of production for years, for the in-store shop.
Marimekko itself (the name means ''lady's dress''), founded in 1951 by Armi and Viljo Ratia, is alive and well again after a near-fatal slump in the 1980's. In addition to reproducing its well-recognized patterns, it has continued to introduce new ones. (Kirsti Paakkanen, the company's owner since 1991 and the one who made the decision to reissue the classics, did so because she was told that young collectors were buying Marimekko at flea markets, not at her stores.)
Joe Delgreco, owner of Delgreco & Company, which began selling Marimekko fabrics two years ago, including a new outdoor fabric just introduced, said of its appeal, ''There's a cult following of fans as well as a new audience who simply love the bright, happy retro look.''
That included Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, whose clean little secret was Marimekko (not represented in the elbow-glove atmosphere of ''Jacqueline Kennedy: The White House Years'' at the Metropolitan Museum). She bought a stack of the cotton dresses in Hyannis, Mass., in 1960, and was photographed for the cover of Sports Illustrated that year, boating in Marimekko with Senator Kennedy.
''Marimekko was kind of the uniform for the intellectual elite,'' said Josie Chekouras, whose shop, Kiitos, at 698 Madison Avenue, has New York's most complete line of Marimekko clothing and accessories. Dresses start at $120.
Alison Castle, 31, a magazine editor in Paris, was shopping there recently. ''I'm wearing all my mother's dresses,'' she said, ''but now that they are reissuing all the old prints, I'm buying new as well.''
Inga Davidsson, a modernist furniture dealer in New York, wears Marimekko dresses to complement the goods in Areaid, her store on Elizabeth Street. Barbara Bestor, an architect in Providence, dressed her new Block Island beach house in Marimekko -- sunny every day.
As for fans insisting on vintage originals, Eeva Musacchia, a textile dealer in Key Biscayne, Fla., explained that the more obscure patterns or colorations can fetch upward of $300 for two- to three-yard panels. Rare patterns include Putkinotko, a Maija Isola print, and Monrepos by Annika Rimala, whose work is also collectible.
How to discern old from reissued? ''The weight of the cotton is really the only way,'' Ms. Musacchia said. ''The older textiles are much heavier cotton.''
Marimekko is enjoying a renaissance in its native Finland, too. ''It feels fresh,'' Ms. Paakkanen said, speaking of the young audience that did not grow up with the ubiquitous textiles -- which were marketed as a way of life, from fashion to furnishings, for a generation of Finns.
The Ratias' original design business started in Helsinki, commissioning local artists to design inexpensive block-printed fabrics (Marimekko is still silk-screened by hand). The colorful designs were a welcome respite from the drabs and grays of postwar Finland. The clothing, which was largely unisex, was identified with a new freedom and equality; the message was reiterated in the home, through its furnishings.
Benjamin Thompson, an architect who was head of the architecture department at Harvard from 1963 to 1968 and who founded Design Research, a chain of design stores based in Cambridge, Mass., discovered Marimekko at the Finnish pavilion at the World's Fair in Brussels in 1958. He brought the designs to America in 1960.
''It was really the first lifestyle store here in the States,'' Jane Thompson, his wife, said recently of Design Research. ''Scandinavian furniture, glass and plastics from Italy, folk art, you name it. To have clothing at Design Research would be unthinkable, but Ben insisted it would sell, and he was right.'' It was Lilly Pulitzer for liberals.
Among Mr. Thompson's good customers was Mrs. Kennedy. The first lady had been criticized for her taste for expensive French couture. The striped T-shirts and summer dresses, as accessibly stylish as they were easy to wear, put a casual face on the couple campaigning for, then living in, Camelot.
Marimekko's strength could be that it has never looked less than new and fresh -- the healthy optimism and child's-play fun of its color and pattern have never suffered the cynicism of fashion.
The interest in Marimekko is also a part of a new appreciation of the modern textile arts, including the Alexander Girard show at the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum and the Anni Albers exhibition at the Jewish Museum. Furniture by the Eameses and others has already established a firm beachhead in the imagination and homes of a younger generation. The soft goods of midcentury modern design are surfacing, too, and influencing impressions of what is stylish, according to Jack Lenor Larsen, the textile designer, who knew Armi Ratia.
''After the war those bright colors were wonderfully welcome,'' he said. ''We'd never seen anything like it here in the U.S. The freshness and optimism is still being enjoyed three and four generations later.''Continue reading the main story

[Bridge: Dj Premier]
Step up
[Verse 1: Guru]
Once you step in the arena, cheater; you're gonna be a-
Mazed when you gaze at the armor on this leader
Fully clad and glad to fight a cause, I won't pause
Fear is a joke, slowpoke, I'm like claws
That'll rip cause your gift, is merely flesh
Superficial and I wish you, would give it a rest
But if you don't, I'll unsheath my Excalibur
Like a noble knight, so meet ya challenger
A true hero, while you're a through zero
Gettin beat to a pulp so that you can't run for help
I heard a gulp in your throat, cause you hope that I'll be merciful
But coo-cluck, I made you strut as I rehearse a few
Battle drills, and watch your bladder spill
Yellow fluid, check out how I mellowed into it
Face defeat to this beat, you can tell I'm into it
As I'm pullin out my lance, to kill you and advance to
The winner's throne; cause I own you once you step in the arena
[Bridge: Dj Premier]
Step up
[Verse 2: Guru]
In the arena... or rather colliseum
There's people gatherin by multitudes to see one
Perpretrator fall to the dust after the other
Quickly disposed of at the hand of a known brother
Born wit the art in his heart that is Spartacus
And one-to-one combat Jack, just a thought of this
Match-up, makes GangStarr wanna snatch up
One or two phrases from the new book with new pages
Of rhymes that are built like a chariot
Dope vocals carry it, to the battle set
If a beat was a princess, I would marry it
But now I must bow to the crowd as I stand proud
Victorius, glorious, understand now
Cause battles and wars and much fights I have been through
One MC got beheaded, and you can too
Forget it, cause you'd rather be just a spectator
An onlooker, afraid you may get slayed or
Struck by a blow, from a mic gladiator
I betcha that later you might be sad that you played yourself
Cause you stepped up, chest puffed out
And in just one lyric, you got snuffed out
Cause rhymin is serious, I'm strong, I'm like Hercules
You'll get hurt with these lines, close the curtains please
And suckers can jet cause I wreck once you step in the arena
[Bridge: Dj Premier]
Step inside my arena
[Verse 3: Guru]
In the arena or forum, weak MC's I will floor 'em
Causin mayhem, I'll slay them, and the blood'll be pourin
Furthermore I implore, that as a soldier of war
I go in only to win and be the holder of more
Trophies, titles, and triumphs cause I dump all the sly chumps
Never choosin to lose my spot, not once
For the mere idea of an opponent that I fear
Is foolish utterly, I mean but none'll be
Tryin to toy wit a destroyer of many
You shitted your pants cause you can't figure any
Foe that can step to this concept so
You better sit again citizen, weak MC's I get rid of them
Watch the way they get distraught when they get caught
In the worst positions, cause they didn't listen
And tried goin up against a hungry killer who's itchin
To maim and murder, those who claimed that they were the
Toughest ones, they get done once they step in the arena
[Bridge: Dj Premier]
Step inside my arena
The title track off Gang Starr's sophomore classic, Step in the Arena.
It serves as an introduction to the Gang Starr style. Guru is visually creating a scene of an MC battle using terms from Greek and Roman warriors' battles.
Samples Ballin' Jack's "Never Let 'em Say," and Wesley and the Horny Horns' "Four Play."

The samba server is THE fileserver solution for linux. It can server linux clients as well as windows or mac clients and provides host, user or group based access control. In this post I'll describe how I setup up a samba server using accounts stored in my ldap replica.
Note that this howto is referring to debian wheezy.
The content however is old and might be outdated.
Prepare LDAP
If not already done include the
samba.schema into your LDAP. I've already done this before so here is just a short description.
If you use LDAP with
cn=config like me, you will have to convert the
samba.schema to a
.ldif before you add it using
ldapadd -D cn=admin,cn=config -W -f samba.schema.ldif
A longer description you can find for example in the ubuntu dos
It might be a good idea to index some of the fields from the samba schema. Use
ldapvi -h ldap://localhost -D cn=admin,cn=config -b cn=config -W
to edit
cn=config and insert the following in the appropriate section:
index uid,uidNumber,gidNumber,memberUid eq index cn,mail,surname,givenname eq,subinitial index sambaSID eq index sambaPrimaryGroupSID eq index sambaDomainName eq
Then give users access to their samba passwords by changing the line
access to attribute=userPassword
access to attrs=userPassword,sambaNTPassword,sambaLMPassword
Now the LDAP server is prepared.
Install necessary software
aptitude install smbfs samba smbldap-tools
This will pull in some dependencies. Just install them.
Configure samba
The configuration is done in
/etc/samba/smb.conf. Make sure the following line is set (in section "Authentication"):
security = user
It will probably be commented out.
Then change
passdb backend = tdbsam guest
passdb backend = ldapsam:ldap://127.0.0.1/
using the IP or URI of your LDAP server.
Add configuration directives for passdb and smbldap-tools:
obey pam restrictions = no ldap admin dn = cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com ldap suffix = dc=example, dc=com ldap group suffix = ou=groups ldap user suffix = ou=people ldap machine suffix = ou=computers ldap idmap suffix = ou=people ; Don't use samba's internal LDAP password sync ldap passwd sync = No ; Use an external program to sync the LDAP password unix password sync = Yes passwd program = /usr/sbin/smbldap-passwd -u %u passwd chat = *New*password* %nn *Retype*new*password* %nn *all*authentication*tokens*updated*
Make sure to comment out or delete other settings for
passwd program and
passwd chat. If using a local (or local network) LDAP server you can disable SSl by
ldap ssl = off
In the section "Share Definitions" define your shares like this:
[music] comment = Music Share path = /data/music writeable = yes valid users = @users guest ok = no
This will create a share music using the directory
/data/music whre users in the group
users will be able to write to and guest will have no access.
Now restart samba
/etc/init.d/samba restart
and tell samba the admin password for ldap
smbpasswd -w YOUR_LDAP_ADMIN_PASSWORD
Configure smbldap-tools
First copy the files
smbldap.conf and
smbldap_bind.conf from
/usr/share/doc/slmldap-tools/examples/ to
zcat /usr/share/doc/smbldap-tools/examples/smbldap.conf.gz > /etc/smbldap-tools/smbldap.conf cp /usr/share/doc/smbldap-tools/examples/smbldap_bind.conf /etc/smbldap-tools/smbldap_bind.conf
Get the SID by
net getlocalsid
and edit
smbldap.conf. Watch out for the SID and LDAP settings. Insert dn and password of your ldap admin into
smbldap_bind.conf. Then fix file permissions:
chmod 0644 /etc/smbldap-tools/smbldap.conf chmod 0600 /etc/smbldap-tools/smbldap_bind.conf
Now is't time to populate your LDAP with the necessary data. If your LDAP already contains data, the script will not overwrite them. Though it still is a good idea to have a backup…
Now you can add users to your LDAP or fix the entries of already existing users. Eg this will set the samba password for user dummy:
smbpasswd -a dummy

Hey fellows! I know that quite a decent amount of time has passed since my last post here. I have, however, a really good excuse for it ;)
No, no, I didn't quit with Big Data, neither stopped with Embedded Systems (to be sincere, I've been working a lot with the second in the last past month). Actually, I spent all this time doing researches and publishing a brand new Big Data project! I used it as my graduation thesis and is all about using MapReduce to process CT images to detect lung nodules.
Yes! How about the doctors use the Big Data strengths to help in the diagnostics of the deadliest Cancer in US?
It's all about my work :)
I'll describe it in more details later. If you want to check it, the document (in Portuguese – but with an English abstract) is available here.
The project itself is going to be available in my GitHub soon, and when I get I'll post the links here too!
See you guys in a bit!
The gitHub links are here. Soon I will write a post getting into more details about how it works.
MatLung: A matlab script that shows the image processing features of the distributed software.
LungProcessor: A single machine program that is fully-code-compatible with the distributed hadoop application. Used for Hadoop code debugging.
LungPostProcessor: The Image metadata post-processor. Used to detect the lung nodules and remove false positives.

This past Thursday I had a new article published in Testosterone Magazine (t-nation.com). It is about hoisting heavy barbells above your head as you stand. This is a subject near and dear to my heart (take notice to the Beyond Strength Performance logo) so I wanted to make sure lifters and coaches had a good idea of how to screen someone to make sure the press is right for them. Of course, the article is full of wit, exciting videos and a coming of age narrative.

In continuing my method of conducting a book review, I am letting the book speak for itself by showcasing some of my favorite quotes.
Thiel on Leadership Compensation:
"A company does better the less it pays the CEO- that's one of the single clearest patterns I've noticed from investing in hundreds of startups. In no case should a CEO of an early-stage, venture-backed startup receive more than $150,000 per year in salary. If a CEO collects $300,000 per year he risks becoming more like a politician than a founder. High pay incentivizes him to defend the status quo along with his salary, not to work with everyone else to surface problems and fix them aggressively. A cash-poor executive, by contrast, will focus on increasing the value of the company as a whole. (Pages 113-114)
Thiel on Leaders Setting the Example:
Low CEO pay also sets the standard for everyone else. Aaron Levie, the CEO of Box, was always careful to pay himself less than everyone else in the company-four years after he started Box, he was still living two blocks away from HQ in a one-bedroom apartment with no furniture except a mattress. Every employee noticed his obvious commitment to the company's mission and emulated it. If a CEO doesn't set an example by taking the lowest salary in the company, he can do the same by drawing the highest salary. So long as that figure is still modest, it sets an effective ceiling on cash compensation." (Pages 113-114)
Thiel on Building Teams:
"When you start something, the first and most crucial decision you make is whom to start it with. Choosing a co-founder is like getting married, and founder conflict is just as ugly as divorce. Now when I consider investing in a startup, I study the founding teams. Technical abilities and complementary skill sets matter, but how well the founders know each other and how well they work together matter just as much. Founders should share a pre-history before they start a company together- otherwise they're just rolling dice. It's not just founders who need to get along. Everyone in your company needs to work well together. It's very hard to go from 0 to 1 without a team." (Pages 108-109)
Thiel on Founders and Teams:
"Founders are important not because they are the only ones whose work has value, but rather because a great founder can bring out the best work from everybody at his company." (Page 189)
Thiel on Attracting Recruits to the Team:
"Recruiting is a core competency for any company. It should never be outsourced. You need people who are not just skilled on paper, but who will work together cohesively after they're hired." (Page 120)
Thiel on the Importance of Work Relationships:
"If you can't count durable relationships among the fruits of your time at work, you haven't invested your time well-even in purely financial terms." (Page 120)
Thiel on Success:
"In January 2013, Jack Dorsey, founder of Twitter and Square, tweeted to his followers: "Success is never accidental."" (Page 60)
Thiel on Choosing Projects:
"The best projects are likely to be overlooked, not trumpeted by a crowd; the best problems to work on are often the ones nobody else even tries to solve." (Page 166)
Thiel on Computers and People:
"Computers are tools, not rivals." (Page 144)
"As computers become more and more powerful, they won't be substitutes for humans: they'll be compliments." (Page 144)
"Better technology in law, medicine, and education won't replace professionals; it will allow them to do even more." (Page 148)
"Replacement by computers is a worry for the 22nd century." (Page 150)
Thiel on the Why Competition is Disadvantageous:
"People lose sight of what matters and focus on their rivals instead." (Page 38)
"War is costly business." (Page 39)
"Rivalry causes us to overemphasize old opportunities and slavishly copy what has worked in the past." (Page 39)
"Competition can make people hallucinate opportunities where none exist." (Page 40)
"Rivalry is just weird and distracting." (Page 41)
"If you can recognize competition as a destructive force instead of a sign of value, you're already more sane than most." (Page 43)
Thiel's Four Points of Startup Wisdom:
- "It is better to risk boldness than triviality." (Page 21)
- "A bad plan is better than no plan." (Page 21)
- "Competitive markets destroy profits." (Page 21)
- "Sales matter just as much as product." (Page 21)

The gift is to the giver… it cannot fail. -Walt Whitman
Lewis Hyde's book The Gift has taught me a lot; for one thing, it explains how gifts are the currency of community. The lesson: if you want to make someone a part of your community, be generous to them. If they accept your kindness (and especially if they are generous in return) they are signalling to you that they want to be in your group as well. In this way gift-giving binds us together. We become increasingly in each others' debt.
Early European settlers to Pacific North America noticed a lot of the native people applying this idea through rituals:
When someone in one of these tribes was mistakenly insulted, his response, rather than turning to a libel lawyer, was to give a gift to the man who had insulted him; if indeed the insult was mistaken, the man would make a return gift, adding a little extra to demonstrate his good will, a sequence that has the same structure (back and forth with increase) as the potlatch itself. When a gift passes from hand to hand in this spirit, it becomes the binder of many wills (Page 36).
Hyde explains that this kind of response would do far more than make for a healthy, happy community, it would create a spiritus mundi (a unanimous heart) within the tribe. They were showing that they considered their strength to be in each other, rather than in their own material gain.
Applying this idea
We all like to feel we have strong, supportive relationships. But how, in these rushed times, with friends
around the world and so many demands on our time, can we apply this kind of wisdom? Here are a few ideas you can try:
- Say it with art. We all appreciate getting a handmade card with a poem in it. Any kind of artistry forces us to be considerate and original and people always love it when you make that kind of effort –whether you're a natural artist or not. It's a bit like trying to speak to a local in their own language –they'll love you for trying.
- Don't let them pay. The Gift tells a story of a daugher in Minnesapolis who agreed to donate a life-saving kidney to her mother, but only if her mother would buy her an expensive fur coat. The mom felt betrayed and held-hostage. The daughter saw the gift as a transaction, so traded what could have been a stronger bond with her mother, for a coat.
- Just as with birthday presents, it's not so much what is given, but the meaning behind it that matters most. So…
- Say something sappy. Don't just give a present and leave it at that. Say something nice to add meaning to the gift, to let them know WHY you're giving it.
- Be on the look-out. Do you have a coworker who stops by your desk every day just to say hi? If you look for the signs, you might be surprised to find that a lot of people around you are trying to create bonds with you as well.
- And finally (the most obvious of all) look for ways to give your time.
Want more?
If this interests you, you might enjoy reading:
- Guy Kowasaki's The Art of Creating a Community (a blog post) offers some practical advice for using technology and ideas to grow a community. Or,
- Seth Godin's book on "Tribes," which totally applies here. In fact, one of the reasons I'm writing this blog (besides trying to give something meaningful to the people I care about: a gift :-) is because I want to create a group of people who collaborate to help each other improve their quality of life. I want to develop a strong Quality of Life Tribe. I want to belong to a group of people who generously support each other in their efforts to improve their qualituy of life. Here are some tips on developing a tribe.
- A great new post from Liz Strauss The Only Way to Attract a Vibrant, High-Trust Community online. An online community isn't built or befriended, it's connected by offering and accepting. Community is affinity, identity, and kinship that make room for ideas, thoughts, and solutions.

Customers delayed using Virgin Trains' West Coast Line services are set to benefit from a new innovative compensation scheme.
The company has announced it is introducing the rail industry's first "Automatic Delay Repay" system.
Travellers held up by up to 59 minutes will be repaid half the cost of a single ticket or half the cost of the relevant portion of their return ticket.
Compensation will rise according to the length of the delay and the company has pledged payments will be made within three days of any delay hit journeys on the line which runs through Wigan, Preston and Lancaster.
Virgin estimates it will have to pay out £2.8m extra in compensation in the scheme's first year. It stresses the automatic payments will apply only to the customers who will have booked Advance tickets for a specific train through its website or the company's mobile app. Many people do not claim for delays at the moment and it's estimated some 3.5 million customer journeys would be eligible to benefit from the scheme if there are delays.
A Virgin spokeswoman said:"The system calculates the money due to a customer in the event of a delay and automatically pays the compensation directly onto the card they used for purchase. The compensation is calculated under the existing Delay Repay scheme. Many additional passengers could also benefit simply by purchasing their Advance tickets through the website, which guarantees the cheapest fares with no booking fees."
The scheme has earned praise from Secretary of State for Transport Patrick McLoughlin who said: "Our plan is to make sure passengers across the country benefit from schemes like this and we are encouraging other operators to roll out similar schemes nationwide."

[Post reconstructed after 25.10.07 hack]:
Two Thursdays ago I went up to Santa Barbara to give a seminar. I had a great time, and it reminded me why it can be so much fun to go somewhere and visit for even a short time and do that. I got to catch up with several old friends, including Santa Barbara itself, where I lived for a number of years in the 90's when I was a postdoc. I spent time chatting with the various people there before (at lunch) and after (individually) the seminar, learning about some of the research they're doing, and also talking about other matters physics-wise and gossip-wise. I wish I'd had more time to talk since I did not get to talk to everyone I wanted to talk to, and not at as much length as I would have liked. (This was partly due to the fact that I spent the morning in my hotel room writing some of the slides for my talk. – I had a presentation the day before to focus on, along with a departmental visitor to host, and the day before I was also occupied. Don't ask about any earlier than that – I never prepare new material that much in advance. Not because I don't want to, but it just never happens… if I have more than a day or two, I will find that there's other stuff I have to do.)
Anyway, a good time was had by all (I think). I can even post a picture of some of us at dinner in the evening after the talk. (Will update later with that, since it was downloaded to computer that's not here.) We went to an old haunt of mine in downtown Santa Barbara – Roy's. I'm pleased and surprised that it is still there and going strong, since it is the sort of highly individual restaurant that – since it is also reasonably priced – you'd expect to vanish from such a high value spot in town.
What was I talking about? Well, with three students (Tameem Albash, Veselin Filev, and Arnab Kundu), I've been involved in some fun work on some of the physics concerning strongly coupled field theory phenomena that I told you about in an earlier post. (We wrote two new papers on it recently. See here and here. ) We've been studying the response of quarks (or simple models of quarks) to background electric and magnetic fields, and have uncovered some new phase diagrams and other physics. You can see new phase transitions when the electric field gets so strong that it tears the mesons apart into their constituent quarks, and spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking when the magnetic field gets strong enough (compared to the temperature, which acts to restore the symmetry). Recall that this circle of ideas uses several aspects of string theory to compute physics that may be relevant to aspects of nuclear physics being uncovered in experiments at RHIC (and later to be probed by some experiments at the LHC). All surrounding the properties of the so-called "quark-gluon plasma", if you recall. See two posts: here and here, for more. The sorts of important "strongly coupled" phenomena we uncover can be modeled and studied closely using the types of stringy computations we carried out.
The slides and audio/video of the talk can be found here.

Illustration of the sighting event. (Credit: MUFON) by Roger Marsh
A Michigan witness at Grant recalled events from 2016 when a "bright, shiny, silver, metallic, spherical object – perfectly round in shape" – appeared low over a farm house, according to testimony in Case 82008 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The witness was outside at 5:42 p.m. on July 8, 2016, when the incident occurred.
"Hovering above power lines and excavating pits out back," the witness stated, "between the pond and farm house. The object stayed stationary for several seconds."

Visiting The Past 1864
July 4, 1864: (Editor's Note - The late B. C. Yates, former superintendent of the Kennesaw National
Park prepared an article for the Smyrna Herald newspaper for the 100 year anniversary of the
Battle of Smyrna Campground in 1964. The following was extracted from that article.
The complete article with a map of the area is on file at the Smyrna Museum.)
"Battles have reasons, although we might not always consider them good ones. The die was cast
for the Battle of Smyrna at Kennesaw, where on June 27, Sherman's major frontal attacks were
repulsed with heavy losses.
"If he could not drive through, then he must go around, reasoned
Sherman. He decided to move by his right flank, as that area had more and better roads, vital to his
rapid and successful operations. That led his troops toward Smyrna.
"Scholfield's Federal 23rd
Army Corps, already on Sherman's right, moved south on the Sandtown Road, followed closely by
unite of the Federal Army of the Tennessee. Johnson alive to the possibilities, and alert, devised
Sherman's strategy, and knew that if he sat still at Kennesaw, Sherman would get between the
Confederates and their base, Atlanta.
"And Atlanta had to be held at all costs so on the night of
July 2, Johnson moved south. Next morning, Sherman closely followed, and the armies skirmished
as they moved.
"By nightfall Johnson was near Smyrna, and forming his troops on the east-west
ridge between Rottenwood and Nickajack Creeks. Again he had a good position, which might be
costly to attack.
"While attack could be costly, it could also be profitable. That night Sherman
messaged his lieutenants, directing that they probe the southern position, push hard, and attack
anywhere there was a possibility of gain.
"Sunday, July 4 dawned fair. Sherman, up early as usual,
aligned north of the town, and visited Howard's Fourth Corps suspecting that the Confederate line
was lightly held, encouraged Howard to test it by attack. He brought down a hornet's nest and the
hornets swarmed.
"The rattle of musketry, and a heavy round of artillery fire, quickly convinced
Sherman that Johnson was in Smyrna, and in strength. Here, Sherman almost lost his hat."
(Editor's Note: Sherman mentioned in his memoirs that he almost lost his hat in Smyrna while "reposing in a
house on the second floor near the railroad track." A shot must have come too close.)
"But the
afternoon was to bring the Federals more luck. With the 15th and 23rd Corps in reserve, the 17th
Corps sent a flying column east along Turner's Road or the road to Mayson's and Turner Ferry,
which we now call the Bankhead Highway. He was stopped, but the bold move may have
encouraged Johnston to withdraw from his vulnerable position.
"But it was the 16th Corps, pushing
east toward Ruff's Mill that gained the most important ground. With a quick right about 4:00 p.m.
they crossed Nickajack Creek and running up the steep hillside, captured the Confederate advance
line with only moderate losses. It was here that Colonel E. F. Noyes lost his leg.
"By nightfall of July 4,
Johnston felt easier. His trains and artillery had moved south of the Chattahoochee, out of
Sherman's reach. Johnston at his rear had a stronger and shorter river line of fortifications ready for
occupancy, and during the night he skillfully withdrew to that position. This move ended the battle
and restored a measure of calm to Smyrna." (Editor's Note: There is a small display of War Between
the States relics at the Smyrna Museum. The most recent find (1998) is a 12 pound artillery shell that
was found by a plumber working on a sewer line at the apartments on Medlin Street. The shell was
still live and was disarmed by Tommy Lyle, one of our local relic hunters and friend of the museum.
The black gunpowder and shot from the shell are also on display.)

University establishes Cynthia Reynolds Memorial Fund for Veterans in memory of staff member
Cynthia "Cindy" Reynolds (1957-2012), known to her children as "Mia," was a 13-year employee of Syracuse University and veteran of the U.S. Army, achieving the rank of sergeant. In her memory, her colleagues and friends at the University have established the Cynthia Reynolds Memorial Fund for Veterans through SU's Institute for Veterans and Military Families (IVMF). Reynolds passed away Feb. 4, as a result of injuries sustained in a car accident.
The memorial fund will provide the IVMF with opportunities to support veterans and their families who may be experiencing difficulties transitioning to civilian life following service. The institute will use the fund to provide resources for, including but not limited to, educational training, equipment, course materials, visiting lectures and other initiatives.
"The founding of the institute in June 2011 builds upon the University's long and established record of serving the military, veterans and their families. When I began my work with the IVMF, I talked to Cindy following our ribbon-cutting event last November, and she spoke very passionately about becoming more involved with the IVMF and had planned to volunteer with us in some capacity prior to her passing," says Jaime Winne Alvarez, IVMF director of media relations & communications and a former colleague of Cindy's in SU's Division of Advancement and External Affairs (AEA).
In addition to her service to country and dedication to the military, Reynolds held a variety of exceptional professional talents, ranging from the arts to technology. She was a successful illustrator and CAD administrator, and eventually focused on information technology, first with O'Brien & Gere in Syracuse, which became a springboard to an enduring IT career.
Earning a bachelor's degree in management information systems from SUNY Empire State College in 1999, she joined SU that June, where she flourished as a member of the IT team in AEA. Respected and admired for her knowledge, dedication and patience by executives and administrative staff alike, she earned the abiding affection of all with whom she worked.
The contagious optimism, caring, honesty, sense of humor and warmth that endeared Reynolds to colleagues and friends were exceeded only by her boundless love for her family, especially her daughters, Sophia and Olivia.
To make a gift to the Cynthia Reynolds Memorial Fund for Veterans, visit the online SU Giving site; call toll-free at 1 (877)2GROWSU (247-6978); or download a donation form from the giving site and return by mail to the Office of Development, Syracuse University, 820 Comstock Ave., Syracuse, NY 13244-5040. SU faculty and staff have the option of giving via payroll deduction. Go to myslice.syr.edu and sign in with your NetID and password, then click "SU Online Giving" under "Employee Services."
In addition, friends and colleagues of Reynolds will be embarking upon an "Oranges to Apple Bike Ride," beginning on Aug. 30. They will travel from the SU campus to the University's Joseph I. Lubin House in Manhattan. According to Reynolds' AEA colleague Adam Stone, the ride will help them to remember Reynolds and raise awareness of her memorial fund. Those who wish to donate to the bike ride may add "bike ride" to the note section of their check or online gift to the Cynthia Reynolds Memorial Fund for Veterans. For more information on the ride, contact Stone at email@example.com or 315-443-2135.

Joe Fortunato traveled to Alaska this summer to prospect for gold and hit a cache that yielded nearly 30 ounces for him and his three friends.
"I was in total disbelief," said Fortunato, a Westminster small-business owner.
Thanks to a bad economy, unemployment and the high price of gold, prospecting has become popular in recent years.
For Fortunato, the fascination started eight years ago when he was watching TV.
"I was sitting in my easy chair, surfing the channels, when I see this guy gold-prospecting," he said of "Gold Fever" on the Outdoor Channel, hosted by Tom Massie. "At first, I thought, 'Boy, this is kind of hokey.' "
But then he got hooked.
He watched the show every week, joined Gold Prospectors of the Rockies, read endlessly about how to find gold with a metal detector and got a claim up near Leadville.
"As the years went by, I learned more and more," he said. "I got a whole new circle of friends."
He got to know some die-hard prospectors, guys who had found gold in the Australian outback, or made 19 trips to Alaska hunting gold. One day, three of them invited him to join them on a trip to Nome, Alaska, where they planned to prospect at an abandoned mine.
He jumped at the opportunity. Alaska, the site of many 19th-century gold rushes, sparked his imagination.
"Right away, we started finding gold," he said. "We went out every day, and I had a streak going."
But on the 12th day — nothing.
"We'd been spoiled," he said. "By the end of that day, we were totally bummed."
Early the next morning, Fortunato was out in the field when his metal detector finally started going off again.
He got his pick and started digging.
"At first, I thought it was a rock," he said. "But when I reached down to pick it up, I could tell by the weight it was gold because it was so heavy."
It was nugget, and it weighed 1 ounce.
"I was just in shock," he said. "I'd never found a piece of gold that big."
He picked up the metal detector again and within five minutes had found a second 1-ounce nugget.
"I almost fell face first into the hole," he said. "It was too good to be true."
By 11 a.m., he'd dug up nine pieces of gold, including a nugget that weighed 4.5 ounces.
Meanwhile, his friends were getting nothing.
"Nugget after nugget came out of this hole," he said. "At first, everyone is happy for you, but after a while, it starts to wear on people."
He asked if there was some protocol that said when you're hauling out a river of gold nuggets, you should share.
"It's entirely up to you," one of the guys told him. "If you don't want to, it's not like you're a bad guy. It's your spot till you leave."
Fortunato wanted to share his good fortune, so they took turns digging.
"By the end of the day, we had 36 pieces of gold," he said. "Nearly 30 ounces."
Fortunato has no plans to sell his nuggets, even though gold sells for a little more than $1,600 an ounce.
"To me, they're like a trophy," he said. "Like some people put deer heads and antlers on the wall, these remind me of the trip. If I were in dire straits, I'd probably let go of them. But they're like a treasure to me."

I just got back from the gym, so let's talk about workouts!
Back when I started this blog I was training for half and full marathons, and shared my workout every day. Now I'm much more of a yogi / gym type than a distance runner. To be honest, I don't think my knees could handle the distance running anymore. How sad.
//A list of all the workouts I've shared on the blog over the years!//
I've really just been doing whatever workouts sound good to me for the past year or two. I obviously have been doing a fair amount of yoga, but when I went to the gym I didn't really have a pre-set structure or plan. That was fine! It's totally okay to workout because it feels good, is good for you, and makes you endorphin happy.
Somewhere in the last month or so, though, I've actually started to figure out some goals to work toward. With yoga, I'm trying to do more on my own (as opposed to studio classes) so that I can work on new poses and spend a longer time on certain things. As for lifting, I'm finally able to do legs again! You may remember that I hurt my knee over the summer, so for a long time I avoided leg workouts. It's still not 100%, but infinitely better and leg workouts haven't been giving me any trouble.
I still don't have an intense routine to follow. Classes and school commitments dictate my schedule, so each week I look at my calendar and fill in my workouts where they fit. This is what my workout schedule generally look like each week:
- 1-2 yoga classes at my studio, 1 yoga session on my own
- 2-3 days of cardio + lifting. Usually one or two upper body and a lower body. Cardio is either treadmill sprints or my 20 min spin workout. I've been doing some Kayla Itsines circuits lately too, which always leave me so sore!
- 1 steady state 3-4 mile run
practice makes perfect?
And here are the general goals I'm working toward:
- Gaining back some leg strength.
- Core strength to help with yoga poses. When I first started exercising I would do ALL THE CORE, and now I barely do anything that isn't incorporated into yoga class! Need to fix that.
- Flexibility to help with new yoga poses, especially hamstrings, hip flexors, and back bends. I'm trying to make progress with my dancer's pose, eventually get king pigeon, hold flying crow and one-legged crow, have a deeper wheel, and master forearm and hand stands.
One struggle I've run into is balancing yoga with strength training. I want to be doing yoga every day because it feels amazing, provides great mental calm and will help me make progress as a teacher. But I also love to lift and get in different types of workouts at the gym. I actually start to feel guilty that I'm not doing more yoga, which is really crazy and absurd, so I just quiet those thoughts and go with a balance that works for me. In an ideal world I'd get up a little earlier and doing a few minutes of yoga and meditation before I start my day. Maybe I can make that happen?
- What is your workout schedule like?
- Any fitness goals right now?


text: Hello all, I am new to PF and this is my very first posting (although I have occassionally been browsing the forum and have found it very enjoyable and useful at the same time!). Anyway, I would like to see everyone's opinion with regards to this bag for sale on eBay: eBay: 100% AUTH MARC JACOBS CALF BLACK LEATHER ELISE BAG (item 330062787255 end time Dec-20-06 15:12:14 PST) Seems like the seller had a bunch of MJ Elise's in almost every color. Since these are no longer for sale at retail stores, it seems like eBay is the only place to get it from. I have been wanting an MJ Elise for a few months now. Do you think this bag is authentic? Would you buy it?? Thanks in advance for all your help!!!

WASHINGTON - Georgia lawmakers are largely supporting President Bush's call to lift a longstanding ban on offshore oil drilling, including off the state's coast.
All nine of Georgia's Republican congressman, including both senators, back the proposal. Three of six Democrats also support it, along with Republican Gov. Sonny Perdue.
The new push for drilling is a response to increasingly urgent complaints from constituents about $4-a-gallon gasoline.
Many experts, including Energy Department forecasters, predict that offshore supplies would amount to a drop in the bucket globally and would have little effect on gas prices. But drilling supporters say no one really knows how much oil is out there and that Congress can no longer ignore it.

Please use the form above to request admissions info for Tarleton State University.
Transfer students experience another pathway towards admissions. In fact, nearly half of all current undergraduate students begin their education by attending a community college. By far, the most common transfer path is students moving from two-year community colleges to four-year institutions, although there is considerable movement between four-year colleges well. Many private schools actively seek out transfer applicants to fill their classes.
The quality of classes, combined with low-cost tuition, encourages many high school graduates to continue their education at a community college. In most states, community colleges have transfer agreements in place with dozens of public and private universities. In fact, among all students in the US who earned a bachelor's degree, almost 1/3 had supplemented their college education with classes from a community college. Beyond major requirements within the admissions department, you may consider Davidson County Community College weekend courses for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

Patricia and I went on a short vacation last week to none other than Iceland! Many people ask us, "Why Iceland"? My best response was, "Why not"? But now I'd have to say, "Because it is a very fascinating place"!
This island is one of the most geothermic active places in the world with multiple volcanoes, geysers, and even a tectonic plate rip! (More on that in a moment). We even get the English word 'geyser' from the Icelandic Geyser named Geyser! The temperatures are mild for the latitude because the Gulf Stream brings warmer air onto the island. While we were there, we had perfect weather! It stayed in the 40's and was clear or partly cloudy the entire time (this week it's raining all week). And on top of all this, everyone is nice and speaks English!
We were told by some locals that though children learn Icelandic as their first language, English is taught as their second language starting in Grade 1. They also learn a couple more languages later in their education (I want to say those languages are Danish and Swedish, but I can't confirm).
Iceland was settled by the Vikings in the 900's BCE – quite a young settlement. It's believed that it was Ingólfr Arnarson in the late 800's who first settled in Iceland. The country didn't become a Republic until the 1940's. In fact, the '40's was a bit crazy for the country. Iceland was part of the Danish Empire and, just like Denmark, declared neutrality during WWII. In 1940 Germany occupied the country, then the British ran the Germans out, and a year later the US occupied Iceland. During this time an army airport was built in Keflavik but was later converted into the largest International airport of Iceland. In 1944, Icelanders voted to become free from Denmark. The US left in '46, the Marshall Plan helped rebuild Iceland, and in '49 they joined NATO.
Older homes still have chimneys but they are not in use anymore. The entire island has tapped into the natural geothermic energy for suitable and inexpensive heating. In fact, it's my understanding that the term "reyk" means 'steam'. At one time you could travel all along the area and find steam randomly coming out of the ground. You can still find these spots on the island, but in the civilized regions the steam has been harvested.
It's so barren that the only native land mammal is the Arctic Fox (which we never saw). When the Vikings got there they cut down most of the island's trees for fire and building homes and boats. Only recently has the country seen a re-forestation project. Iceland is sometimes considered part of Scandinavia, but I suppose more properly is that it's part of the "Nordic Countries".
We stayed in Iceland's capital city, Reykjavík, where more than half of the country's residents live. It's a beautiful city that has a mix of European-like downtown navigation with a bit of a North American sprawl. We both felt very comfortable in both settings.
The only US restaurant influence we spotted was Subway (a couple of times), and a KFC/Taco Bell. McDonald's left several years ago and Starbucks never tried. And all of that was fine by us. We'd rather eat local anyway.
…And that brings me to what might prove to be the more controversial part of our trip…
For our first dinner in Iceland, we decided to taste some real local flare. We ordered an appetizer of Minke Whale, Puffin, and Shag. They all tasted…well…fine. And yes, I've seen Whale Wars and know how evil we are now, but I rationalized it by the fact they were already dead so might as well eat'em! However curious we were about the tastes, we won't do it again. And yes we know by ordering it we are perpetuating the cycle of killing more etc blah blah. We get it. Please just move along. What we really enjoyed eating for most of our stay was fresh Atlantic Salmon, Arctic Char (huge fan!), and Lamb.
Our trip to Iceland was tightly integrated with Reykjavík Excursions, a company that has been offering professional and educational airport shuttles and tours for almost 25 years. We highly recommend them!
Our first trek took us to the most fascinating place I've ever been to! The place is called Þingvellir National Park ('Thingvellir'). This is the site for the original Icelandic Tribal Assembly (930-1271) and a geo-significant place.
When the snow-covered volcano pictured above erupted many years ago the underground magma created a hole. That hole was filled by both glacier melt and natural springs forming Lake Þingvallavatn. It's from the vantage point of the overlook where you can see both the Lake and Rift in one view.
Every year, the rift grows by a centimeter or two. This is the place where the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates meet. These two plates are ripping apart creating chasms and rifts. To stand in such an active geo-active place is simply amazing and fascinating!
Not far from Thingvellir are some natural hot springs channeled into man-made pools for easier enjoyment (baiting suits required so no photos necessary).
Perhaps it's time to take a break from the trip and talk about the Icelandic lettering. You know how both Shakespeare and King James writing are English but difficult for the modern reader? Iceland does not suffer from that problem. The language is the closest modern language to 'ye-olde' Viking. In fact, the character Þ pronounced 'thorn' is prominent in Iceland. It's pronounced as 'thorn' and replaces the 'th' sound in English. Because modern Icelandic language has changed little from it's origins, medieval texts are read by grade-school students. Check out this short video about the origin of 'Ye Olde' shops. Also listen to how difficult (IMHO) the language is.
Have you noticed how flat many of the mountains are? There are two possible reasons for this: glaciers cut the top off of the mountains and/or glaciers were in place when the mountains tried to form but the glaciers kept them from growing too high.
Our next trek took us out looking for whales. First we found Puffins.
During our Whale Watching tour, we found Puffins, White-beaked dolphins, Harbor Porpoise, and Minke Whale.
The Southern Shores of Iceland did not disappoint.
Quick recap – we took a tour to the south of Iceland where we were at the foot of a few active volcanoes such as Eyjafjallajökull which erupted in 2010 causing all sorts of chaos in Europe (but not so much in Iceland!), the Mýrdalsjökull glacier that looks dirty because of volcanic ash, and the black sand beach of Vik.
On the way back from Vik we stopped at two huge waterfalls.
Finally our trip ended with a brief stop at the famous Blue Lagoon geothermal spa.
Surrounding it for miles are lava fields which were amazing to see.
Lava rock as far as the eye can see covered in a brown moss. But the Blue Lagoon was quite a nice treat before our flight out.
I don't know if I need to comment that it was a great vacation for us! Iceland is an amazing place. Geographically speaking, we were in Europe. Geothermically speaking, we were on both the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates. We came face-to-face with active volcanoes, glaciers, and aquatic life. We ate like we've never eaten before. I think it'll be impossible to forget our trip to this Viking land called Iceland.
