still: recent works by Melissa Schulenberg
April 8 - May 16, 2010
lie still and let the heat turn cool
art takes over the mind is still
breath comes shallow sitting still in a tree
driving for two days the world becomes still
the world exists as if in a dream
it's still in the car
it's still outside
it's still in my chest
it's still in my head
that's when the most ordinary can become extraordinary
only see flashes of one color as the world flies by
red blue green yellow purple stand out
similar shapes take root
play takes over
i'm (still) drawn to this
Melissa Schulenberg is an associate professor of art at St. Lawrence University, where she teaches printmaking and drawing courses. Her work is exhibited nationally and internationally, most recently at the Denver Art Museum and the University of West England. She often participates in exchange portfolios by collaborating with printmakers from around the globe.

On September 23, the 65th Annual Tony Awards telecast (2011) was honored with an Emmy Award -- its fourth of the year -- for Outstanding Directing for a Variety Special. The award was accepted by Glenn Weiss. This was not Mr. Weiss's first time honored for directing the Tonys: He won an Emmy for Outstanding Directing for a Variety, Music or Comedy Program in 2003 for the 56th Annual Tony Awards. He is also the Emmy-winning Executive Producer of the Tony telecast, together with Ricky Kirshner.
The 2011 Tony Awards telecast had previously won three Emmy Awards. Those categories, which were included in the Creative Arts Emmy ceremony held a week prior, were as follows:
Outstanding Special Class Program
Ricky Kirshner, Executive Producer; Glenn Weiss, Executive Producer and Neil Patrick Harris, Host/Producer
Outstanding Art Direction for Variety or Nonfiction Programming
Steve Bass, Production Designer
Seth Easter, Art Director
Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics
Song Title: "It's Not Just For Gays Anymore"
Music by Adam Schlesinger
Lyrics by David Javerbaum
The 2011 Tony telecast was also nominated in the Best Writing for a Variety Special (Dave Boone, with special material by Paul Greenberg).
The Tony Awards has received a total of 12 Emmy Awards to date. In addition to the four Emmys for the 65th annual Tony Awards, the Tonys have been honored by the Emmys in pervious years as follows:
The Antoinette Perry "Tony" Award, which was founded by the American Theatre Wing in 1947, is bestowed annually on theatre professionals for distinguished achievement on Broadway. The Tony is one of the most coveted awards in the entertainment industry and the annual telecast – the night America watches Broadway – is considered one of the most prestigious programs on television. The Tonys are presented by The Broadway League and the American Theatre Wing.
Check back for info on the 2013 Tony Awards later this year.Revised Tuesday, 09 May, 2017

Welcome to my website, the Dog Trick Academy!
Dear dog lover,
You're now the proud parent of a new dog – and this time you swear you're going to train your dog in the best way possible. Just like with people, dogs of all ages respond best to praise and positive reinforcement. You've seen them – they're the dogs that wag their tails to the point of quivering all over when they see their owner. That's love. And the desire to please 100% of the time.
So how do you train your dog this way?
Not by scolding or punishing your dog. It doesn't work on humans – why would it work on your dog? My new eBook The Power of Positive Reinforcements, explains the HOWS and WHYS of positive reinforcement training for your dog. Even if you've had your dog for years, it's never too late to change behavioral patterns – and have fun in the process. Learning becomes playtime and a positive experience for the both of you.
What took me years to learn through trial and error, uncountable hours of research and more training sessions than I can remember, will take you no more than a few hours to understand and be able to practice. My eBook, The Power of Positive Reinforcements, is yours – at no charge.
The first thing you'll learn is to UNDERSTAND how your dog thinks and learns. Dogs, like humans, are motivated by things that bring them pleasure. This means that you'll make a list of everything that your dog desires and you will use them to strategically train your dog to do exactly what you want him to do.
You'll also notice that I often say "Learning new dog tricks" … but dog tricks are much more than fetching a ball or acing the agility course. Dog tricks also mean learning to walk on a leash, coming when called, not trying to eat the mailman… You're getting the idea now.
My eBook, The Power of Positive Reinforcements, is completely free and designed to help you understand how to use my dog training lessons. All you need to do is fill out the form on the right and start acquiring the skills needed to make a better life for you and your dog. No gimmicks, no hidden sales – I wrote the book to share my proven dog training techniques with dog owners all over the world.
I love dogs and I want you to be as happy with your dog as I am with mine.
To Your K9 Success,
Jean Cote
President, Dog Trick Academy

Yes, rectangular mirrors were still being used in 1977 on a lot of Chevrolet, Pontiac, Buick, etc... models.Would it be possible to get a high resolution shot of the date code? I'm STILL working on the mirror report and need a few date examples. My email address is in my profile.ThanksEd
Gary,The format should be 'mo'-DMI-'last digit of the year' ... ie for yours it would be 5-DMI-9 if I understood your intent. On my mirror, the code is upside down, and located on the bottom of the mirror (mine is an original remote mirror).
Do you want any and all mirrors or just certain dates/years?
Did they provide info on how to remove the old mirror and attach the new one?
That sounds good.. I thought you'd only purchased the dated mirror glass, and was going to install it yourself in your original housing...

A Rare Opportunity For TNA
With no PPV momentum, several roster members stranded in Europe due to valcano-related travel restrictions, and a weak guest host, Impact received a very rare opportunity to grab some viewers on Monday night.
So, did TNA hit a home run? Not quite, but it may have squeezed out a double, which would be miles better than the strike-outs it's been committing on most Monday nights.
I think Impact took full advantage of its unopposed 8:00 pm hour with a hot opening segment, during which Hogan announced a can't-miss double main event: Jeff Hardy vs. Rob Van Dam in a number-one contenders match and the winner vs. AJ Styles for the TNA World title.
Airing the RVD-Hardy bout a few moments before the 9:00pm start of Raw was smart, as was beginning the title bout just before Raw's unopposed 10:00 hour. For what it's worth, I stuck around for Impact's slight overrun, and I was glad I did.
Most importantly, TNA followed through with a clean title change. Yes, taking the belt off AJ and putting it on RVD may be a bit short-sighted, but unlike WWE, TNA gave its fans what they wanted. Besides, right now, TNA must do something each week to stop the bleeding.
I'll be curious to see whether or not TNA's hot-shotting pays off in the ratings. How about you?

Lockdown was a very good PPV and Impact!, the other night, was awesome as well. I'm glad TNA is doing such a good job. WWE needs some stiff competition.

As a life long WWE fan,Ill be the first to admit, i havent watch raw in two weeks! But i have been glued in to impact and getting more excitied by the week. Bringing in RVD was the biggest signing since Kurt Angle,and the talent is overflowing. As a life long Hulk hater,i wasnt in love with him coming to TNA, but him and eric have worked on a couple different levels. I look forward to the WWE draft,they NEED to shake things up!

In the mag, why isn't the Superstars rating alongside Raw, Smackdown and Impact!? Does WGN not count? Also, is NXT's rating listed?

The top 10 ratings for Smackdown and Raw are based on their status as brands, not as TV shows. Essentially, Raw and Smackdown are their own wrestling "leagues," as opposed to Superstars and NXT, which are just TV shows.

While I did get a sense of a "filler" vibe from this episode, I wonder if one can treat the first episode of each arc, this case being "Little Birds can Remember," as a preface for what may come as the arc progresses. Or, I am probably over-thinking this?

Well, after the brilliant conclusion to the first arc, this episode was a big disappointment for me.
The mistery was even duller than the first episode's and sometimes Eru can be really annoying.
The saving grace of this show, as usual, are the visuals. Really liked Angel Chitanda and the mini-Chitandas swarming Houtaro. I also like the creativeness of KyoAni in depicting the clues, in this case using crash-test dummies.

For anyone who was drawn to the show's previous mystery arc, this episode would surely be a huge disappointment.
After all, this is probably one of the pointless mysteries we've had yet. Most would just attribute the "mystery" to forgetfulness and move on with their lives, but they had to attach an elaborate explanation for something so trivial.
On the other hand, I'd also say the mystery wasn't the episode's real focus. In fact, the episode focused more on the show's slice-of-life elements by emphasizing character interaction, which is fine. I think it's good to have a few breather episodes every once in a while with the characters just talking to each other, so we can get a better feel of their personalities. For instance, it was nice to witness different sides to Houtarou and Eru in this episode.
And finally, Eru's persistent invasion of Houtaou's personal space never ceases to be entertaining (ki ni narimasu ).

I found this episode very impressive. It had such a tiny, insignificant and dull mystery, but still managed to be watchable and interesting based on other factors. This series is really good at providing a feeling of atmosphere and making the characters have depth.
Chitanda's "I'm curious!" is getting really annoying now. But, judging by the little scary Chitandas that were crawling over Houtarou, he knows it too.
I loved the bit where Chitanda said she didn't like to waste energy getting angry and Houtarou thought for a moment that he'd met his soulmate.

Was this episode supposed to be self-parody?
Chitanda: I never get mad!
Oreki: Weren't you mad, like, two hours ago when you were yelling in class?
Chitanda: That's right, Oreki-san! I wanted to ask you about that -- why was I mad?
Oreki: How the hell should I know?
Chitanda: But I'm curious! Tell me why I was mad.
Oreki: Maybe you should consult your doctor about these memory problems.
Heaven forbid they ever get romantic. "Oreki-san, last night when I went home after kissing you, I found there was something wrong with my panties! Even though I never went near water, they were damp! I'm curious, Oreki-san, what could've caused it?"

But I'm pretty sure the writer of this realizes that Chitanda isn't quite normal, lol.

The first episode half had me chuckling all the way, it was entertaining to learn these little tidbits about the characters, and I actually wish if Eru followed the "Let's make satoshi angry" line of thought, I wonder what that would be like?
But yeah, that type of subtle humor is my cup of chai, and the progression of their conversation felt so natural without being bogged down by forced witty-ness.

I just rewatched the episode for the second (i.e., third) time. Gets even more enjoyable, for me. The delicacy of everything is outstanding.
And I don't know about anyone else, but if I were jotting it down in a hurry, I could easily write my small "a" and "d" so that I couldn't quite tell the difference when I came back to look at them. And I'm a native English speaker with a fair amount of education. Just not much manual dexterity, lol.

They don't write it like 1-a, 2-c, 3-b, and it was shown in Chitanda's explanation as well. A teacher especially should be privy, nay, ATTACHED to this standard.
Don't get me wrong though, I could really care less if it's 100% accurate or not. It was still a fun mystery and there's nothing to nitpick about the episode itself.

This episode was boring. The teacher & the maths was meh.
Well , there was a little development for Chitanda & Houtarou but that's it.
Next , fanservice?

And Eru didn't ask "why was I mad?" in the literal sense of the word. Don't take everything at face value, especially if you don't really know the connotations of it in the original language (I don't know them either, just throwing that out). What she was curious about was more along the lines of "why would I get mad over such a tiny slip?" She didn't get her feelings, a thing I'd say happens very frequently to any human being.
And one last thing. People still think this show is about the "mysteries"? It's obviously an almost pure slice of life with Iyashikei elements, the riddles are just a secondary device for easier characterization and to give direction to the episodes. Instead of "the soothing adventures of the Classics Club" you get "the soothing mystery-solving Classics Club", but the overall feeling and purpose of the show would be the same in both cases.

1) There's been at least one mystery comprehensively explored in each and every episode so far. This would be akin to K-On having at least one insert song per episode... So at the very least, Hyouka takes its mysteries more seriously than K-On took its music.
2) The mystery surrounding Chitanda's Uncle was actually very good, on its own merits. It was a very good mystery that was spread out over a few episodes. It contributed greatly to the quality of Episodes 4 and 5.
Now, if a show bills itself as a Mystery show, has mysteries in every episode, has an actually good multi-episode mystery for 3 of its first 5 episodes, then I think viewers have a right to take it as a Mystery show and to expect more mysteries (hopefully good ones).

Same idea here. Even if you're a math teacher, Japanese schools use capital letters for categorizing their rooms, and a teacher (who goes through AT LEAST 2 years of rigorous study of this setting) would undoubtedly have the basic skills needed to separate his variables from his notes. I take it most of us here aren't certified teachers, and we can all do this.
But y'know, once again I'm not letting this get to me as the episode was nice. It's just something that I did find odd. I even consulted my Japanese teacher about it, and she said there's no way a teacher would make a mistake like that. Maybe it was intentional portrayed this way to show how easily the teacher could fly off the handle?
Your point does make good sense though. On the whole, it kind of feels like a less over-the-top Haruhi setting at times, and that certainly wasn't sold as a "mystery" series. So in the case of characterization and everything else that happens outside of the mystery solving (which honestly does take up over half of each episode), I can see how it can be classified differently.

I disagree completely with the idea that it would be so highly unlikely that the teacher would make such a mistake. Teachers are human beings. They can forget whom they have taught things to, and they can write sloppily, especially when they are writing a foreign language.
And for a math teacher to use the small letters he is more used to in this informal situation is perfectly reasonable. If he were writing it for others to see, he might be more careful to use capital letters and write them more clearly.
But it is also quite true that this doesn't have to be true, just reasonable enough for Eru to accept it, lol.

Thanks to the rise and viral nature of the meme, candidates that have spent months effectively campaigning can in an instant see their entire campaign overshadowed by a Tumblr blog or Twitter hashtag highlighting a single misstated fact or misspoken phrase. And unlike the news reported by traditional news outlets, meme creators tend to be anonymous and aren't accountable or easy targets for offended parties or concerned campaigns to contact.
After Mitt Romney's now-infamous "binders full of women" comment slipped out during the second presidential debate, a 24-year-old Canadian man (who will only identify himself as "M") created a simple Facebook Page dedicated to the reference. Within an hour, the page had some 90,000 fans.
"I think that memes can definitely play a role in political campaigns, but not overtly. Much like political cartoons and shows like The Colbert Report or even SNL help larger crowds see issues in new ways," M says. "The [Binders Full of Women Facebook] page was created as a reaction to a phrase that not only didn't sound right, but quite easily encompassed Gov. Romney's overall ignorance of women's rights. I definitely didn't think that the page would grow so quickly. Within a couple minutes, I had sent a message to a friend saying how the page I made had 400 'fans.' By the time he responded, the page had grown to 90,000 [fans]. That took less than an hour."
"Internet memes can turn some of the most trivial moments and gossips about the candidates into central talking points of the campaigns, which I think poses an interesting challenge for many sides that are involved," explains Brad Kim, editor of Know Your Meme. "Of course, punditry and satires have been a staple feature of election news coverage for some time, but it is hardly comparable to the scale of participation that we're seeing in the social media today," he says.
No political event's timing or content has been as ripe for meme-making as that of our current presidential campaign. Hundreds of memes have found a home in this election cycle, oftentimes overshadowing an entire event to the point that all we really remember from the recent political conventions, debates, and speeches are full of @ mentions and pound signs.
The birth of a meme
Traditional news media involves an inherent delay because of factors like fact-checking, waiting for story approval from higher-ups, and ensuring content is objective. Individuals creating and sharing content through social media, however, are free to publish their work instantly without review or worry about the potential side effects. And because of its instant nature, oftentimes a meme can completely overshadow the actual point being made – point in case, #Bindersfullofwomen.
"The point that Romney was (eventually) getting to, around the relative presence of women in his staff got lost—the social universe is voracious and sound bytes are like chum in the water," Alle Aufderhaar, senior vice president, general manager at digital marketing agency Organic, explains of the instant classic.
From sound bites to significance
Memes accomplish several things that the traditional news media can't always achieve, namely: Instantaneous distribution of news, extended audience reach, viral and easily sharable content, and the ability to focus in on (and often, blow out of proportion) seemingly unimportant—but highly shareable—sound bites. In addition, meme creators enjoy a level of autonomy that the old-school news outlets aren't afforded by politicians and campaigns.
"Election memes tend to have a lot more leeway in terms of what can be said and what cannot be said about the candidates, whereas the scope of coverage in the news media can be limited within the ethical boundaries of political journalism, like non-partisanship, or criticisms of media bias," Kim says.
And memes are more than just funny images or controversial hashtags, they have the ability to actually influence campaigns and public opinion.
"It's changing the way that campaign strategists are working to win over the public. Today's election memes are becoming tomorrow's campaign slogans and firewood for negative ads, some of the more recent examples found in Obama's You Didn't Build That, Romney's "Big Bird" comment and Biden's laughing streaks, all of which have been turned into negative ads paid for by both campaigns," Kim said.
"As far as memes' actual impact on political campaigns go, I think it largely depends on the half-life of each meme. The debate-related memes we've seen in the last month have had their moments, but it's doubtful as to how long they will [be] relevant. But then when we look back at the past elections and even the Republican primary from earlier this year, there have been a few candidates whose campaigns were ultimately derailed by gaffes gone viral, from Howard Dean's Scream in 2004 and Sarah Palin's gaffe streak in 2008 to Rick Santorum's Google problem and Rick Perry's brain freeze during a debate in 2012," Kim says. "Even though these memes may have little or nothing to do with the candidates' policy stances or professional merits, their power to define the candidates' characters and public image alone could be significant enough to sway the outcome of the election."
No one is safe: Remembering the current campaign in memes (or, re-meme-bering)
Because meme creators typically don't reveal who they are, it's harder for political groups to blame, retaliate against, or criticize the creators like they can with other reporters and journalists. While the finger of blame is often pointed at individual reporters or news channels for inaccurate or biased content, when a meme is shared by tens of thousands of people, the criticism that the content is biased or wrong is completely irrelevant.
During this election cycle, both campaigns have been the targeted by their share of viral Twitter handles, Facebook pages, Tumblr accounts, hashtags, and animated GIFs. Memes targeting the Romney campaign included:
Invisible Obama
When Clint Eastwood took the stage during the Republican National Convention, in support of Romney during an unscripted (and now infamous) speech, the actor turned director became the subject of several memes after speaking to a chair in which he was pretending Obama was sitting. During Eastwood's speech, the Twitter handle @invisibleobama was created and within an hour, it had racked up 20,000 followers; today, the handle has a loyal fan-base of nearly 69,000 followers. It also sparked this much buzzed-about response from the President:
Fired Big Bird
During the first presidential debate, after Romney told moderator Jim Lehrer that he would cut funding to PBS and Big Bird, a Tumblr page and parody Twitter account for Fired Big Bird took over the Web.
Binders Full of Women
During the second debate, immediately after Romney's now infamous comment about having "binders full of women" for job applications when he was the Governor of Massachusetts, dozens of related memes flooded the Internet, including this now-classic Dirty Dancing homage:
A Facebook page titled Binders Full of Women went live almost instantly—attracting more than 300,000 likes within just 24-hours. And of course, a Ryan Gosling meme was necessary:
47 percent
Romney's comment that 47 percent of the U.S. population is "dependent upon government" and "believe that they are victims" sparked memes across the Internet including one fake presidential campaign slogan: "Romney: Believe in [half of] America."
Of course, memes no know bias, and a fair number have targeted the Obama Campaign as well:
You didn't build that
During an election campaign speech in Virginia earlier this summer, Obama said, "If you've been successful you didn't get there on your own…. If you were successful somebody along the line gave you some help." Memes broke out immediately after that comment, including this image:
Laughing Joe Biden
During the vice presidential debates, many criticized Vice President Joe Biden for laughing while Congressman Paul Ryan responded to answers posed by moderator Martha Raddatz. Almost instantly, several related Twitter handles like @LaughingJBiden sprouted up, a hashtag for #Malarky—a word Biden used when referring to Ryan's comments—was created and images of Biden laughing went viral.
"Not optimal"
Obama's comment on The Daily Show about the recent fatal attacks against Americans in Libya being "not optimal" was the spark for the Twitter hashtag #NotOptimal.
The beauty and bane of the meme
The power of the meme to instantly highlight and circulate an image or phrase — creating campaign talking points and offering people new perspectives, all without having to answer to anyone — is what makes it so powerful. The speed, viral nature, and autonomy the make this medium so influential aren't enjoyed by traditional news outlets. And this means that, popular memes can oftentimes affect campaigns much more than established news outlets can, for better or for worse.
This also means that candidates have to be all the more cautious and careful about what they say because anything that comes out of their mouths could potentially morph into a viral meme—stripped of any context, taking on a life of its own, and potentially overshadowing an entire campaign.

Fluorescent probe technology and cell biology were dramatically altered by the discovery of the green fluorescent protein (GFP) from jellyfish and the development of mutant spectral variants, which have opened the door to non-invasive fluorescence multicolor investigations of subcellular protein localization, intermolecular interactions, and trafficking using living cell cultures. More recently, the development of nanometer-sized fluorescent semiconductor quantum dots has provided a new avenue for research in confocal and widefield fluorescence microscopy. Despite the numerous advances made in fluorescent dye synthesis during the past few decades, there is very little solid evidence about molecular design rules for developing new fluorochromes, particularly with regard to matching absorption spectra to available confocal laser excitation wavelengths. As a result, the number of fluorophores that have found widespread use in fluorescence microscopy is a limited subset of the many thousands that have been discovered.
After fixation and permeabilization, the culture of MDCK cells presented above was labeled with propidium iodide and Alexa Fluor 350 conjugated to phalloidin, which target DNA and filamentous actin, respectively. In addition, the cells were first transfected with a pEYFP-Mitochondria plasmid subcellular localization vector, thus localizing a yellow fluorescent protein tag to the intracellular mitochondrial network. Images were recorded in grayscale with a QImaging Retiga Fast-EXi camera system coupled to an Olympus BX-51 microscope equipped with bandpass emission fluorescence filter optical blocks provided by Omega Optical. During the processing stage, individual image channels were pseudocolored with RGB values corresponding to each of the fluorophore emission spectral profiles.

Valentine Eckert was born in Pennsylvania, USA in about 1817. His mother was most likely Louisa V. Eckert, and his father unknown. Valentine was married to Marry Ann Lloyd on 09 Nov 1845, in Newark, Essex, New Jersey, USA. He and his new wife moved into Philadelphia, but quickly moved back to Newark, New Jersey. Valentine was in the jewelery business, making an selling jewelery. Early on, he had his own business, "Eckert and Meeker", however that went under and Valentine worked in the same industry for others.
On 19 Jun 1862, Valentine Eckert enrolled, and mustered into the Union Army, 9th Regiment Infantry, Company B, at Camp Olden, Trenton, NJ. This group was also known as the "Jersey Muskrats". The regiment got its nickname, Jersey Muskrats, during the Battle of Roanoke Island when they successfully "sloshed through shoe sucking mud into waist deep water in 'division' formation", giving the regiment a two company front against the enemy. From 12 Dec 1862 - 17 Dec 1862, Valentine was involved in five separate battles in North Carolina.
On 20 Jan 1863, the 9th moved southward into South Carolina with General Foster's command. They made it as far as St. Helena's Island on 09 Feb 1863, where they remained in drill for two months. Admiral Samuel Francis Du Pont had the task of trying to take back Charleston in Apr 1863. He strongly believed Charleston could not be taken with out significant land presence, but pushed forward with his ironclad fleet anyways. Valentine's infantry was in route to help with the land presence, but with the channels to the harbor being so obstructed, Du Pont's ships were caught in a major crossfire, and called for a retreat. The 9th headed back for North Carolina. In Aug 1863, the 9th was sent to Carolina City due to chills and fevers. They were here for about six weeks, while nearly 300 men were unfit for battle. At this point, Major-General Peck assumed command of the infantry from General Heckman.
With 2/3 of the men re-enlisting (Valentine signed up later than most, so he was already in for another year), the 9th became "9th New Jersey Veteran Volunteers" in January 1864. They moved onto Newport News, VA where Brigadier General Charles A. Heckman regained command, and was stationed with garrison duty. On the morning of June 16 the brigade moved out from its breastworks, charged and entered the Confederate fortifications, which it held during the day, the 9th participating in several skirmishes, and on retiring burned all the buildings which had been used by General Beauregard as headquarters and for other purposes. On 21 Jun 1864, the 9th crossed the Appomattox and took posession of the rifle-pits beyond the City Point and Petersburg Railroad, where on the day following it assisted in repelling a charge of the enemy. During these battles, they were continually on the front line, with small spells to the second line. This was part of the famous battle of Drewry's Bluff.
It is believed in these battles Valentine may have been injured, or finally realized he could not keep up with his much younger comrades. On 24 Jun 1864, Valentine was transferred to the Veteran Reserve Corps. This was typically done when age or injury held them from keeping up with the war. They would typically be put on guard duty, or something similar. Valentine mustered out exactly three years to his muster in date, 19 Jun 1865.
Valentine was met with a lot of sad news upon his return home. During his service, he had lost three children, Lilly, Frank and Alice. He had never met his daughter Alice, as she was born just after he left for war, and died before he returned. His wife, Mary Ann Lloyd passed away the following year, in 1866. Valentine was an active member of Newark's Lincoln Post of the Grand Army of the Republic.
Valentine continued in jewelery business upon his return. Valentine lived with his son, Charles until his death. At some point he became involved in politics enough, where his obituary read "Valentine Eckert, a prominent Democratic politician, died suddenly in Newark last evening." His death was on 27 Jul 1882 in Newark, Essex, New Jersey, USA. He is buried in Fairmount Cemetery, in Newark.
Children of Valentine Eckert and Mary Ann Lloyd:
- Lilly Eckert (d. 1865)
- Edward Valentine Eckert (1848-1933)
- Charles L. Eckert (1850-?)
- Frank Eckert (1854-1864)
- Washington T. Eckert (1857-1860)
- Nellie Eckert (1860-1918)
- Alice Eckert (1862-1863)
- Laura B Eckert (1866-1867)

Thaddeus (Jude) the Apostle & Brother of Our Lord
June 19
The Apostle Jude was of the choir of the Twelve, and by Luke was called Jude, the brother of James the Brother of God (Luke 6:16; Acts 1:13), and therefore also a kinsman of the Lord according to His humanity. But by Matthew (10:3), he is called Lebbaeus, surnamed Thaddeus (he is not the Thaddeus who healed the suffering of Abgar, as Eusebius says in his Eccl. Hist., 1:13; see Aug. 21). Saint Jude preached in Mesopotamia, Arabia, Idumea, and Syria, and, it is said, completed the path of his divine apostleship by martyrdom in Beirut in the year 80. Written after the destruction of Jerusalem by Titus, his is the last of the Catholic (General) Epistles to the believing Jews in the Diaspora. His name (a variant of Judah) means "Praise."
Apolytikion of Apostle Jude
First Tone
We know thee as a kinsman of Christ and we laud thee with sacred hymns and songs as a most steadfast Martyr who trampled on error and who courageously kept the Faith. As we celebrate today thy holy remembrance, we receive forgiveness of our sins and transgressions, O Jude, through thy holy prayers.
Kontakion of Apostle Jude
First Tone
Sprung from a noble root, thou art risen before us, a branch bestowed by God, ever feeding the whole world upon the fruits of thy words, O eyewitness of God the Lord, O thou brother of our God, and Christ's all-wise herald, who hast taught the Lord's pure Orthodox Faith to all men, initiate of His grace.
Blessed Feast Day
Share the feast of Thaddeus (Jude) the Apostle & Brother of Our Lord with an icon greeting ecard.

Reading - 35% reduced risk of dementia
Bicycling and swimming - 0%
Doing crossword puzzles at least four days a week - 47%
Playing golf - 0%
Dancing frequently - 76%. That was the greatest risk reduction of any activity studied, cognitive or physical.
1) Really pay attention to your partner and what works best for her. Notice what is comfortable for her, where she is already going, which signals are successful with her and which aren't, and constantly adapt your dancing to these observations. That's rapid-fire split-second decision making.The huge side-benefit is that your partners will have much more fun dancing with you when you are attentive to their dancing and constantly adjusting for their comfort and continuity of motion. And as a result, you'll have more fun too.
2) Don't lead the same old patterns the same way each time. Challenge yourself to try new things each time you dance. Make more decisions more often. Intelligence: use it or lose it.

Back in March – Wine Festival week, to be exact – Kevin and I took a Bartending 102 class from Josh Durr at Tonic. We learned how to make mint juleps and I ran right home and wrote up this post. (I purposely held it for Derby week. Why am I burying it on a Saturday? Long story.)
The most important thing I learned from Josh in this particular session was that, with a mint julep, the method is more important than the ingredients.
Place the mint in the bottom of the cup.
Pour in 1/2 oz of maple syrup.
We used this in place of simple syrup and I really loved the results.
Add 1 oz of Bourbon.
I believe we used Ancient Ancient Age in the classroom, but pick your favorite. Josh also suggested Old Grand-Dad and Old Weller.
Roll the muddler on the mint, rolling towards the top of the glass. Make sure to get the oils on the rim on the glass.
This takes a certain amount of technique, as I learned. Don't pound on the mint either – you want the mint to be minty, and pounding? Well that just makes it bitter.
Next, crush your ice.
I used an old fashioned ice crusher Josh had handy. I swear my grandma had one on her bar and I loved it. Kevin pounded away on a bag of ice with the muddler. Both methods are valid.
Add crushed ice to your glass until it is filled just under the edge.
Stir, pulling up from the bottom of the glass.
Next, add another 1 oz of bourbon.
Add a second layer of ice, so that it sort of resembles the shape of a sno-cone.
Garnish with 2 short straws and a sprig of mint.
Honestly, this made one of the best mint juleps I've ever had. What was even more surprising was that I made it myself! I know it sounds easy in the directions, but the technique – especially with muddling – is tricky to get the hang of.
Happy Derby Day!
