They clashed with a larger force of American soldiers led by General Horatio Gates at Freeman's Farm on September 19 in the First Battle of Saratoga, but withdrew after failing to penetrate the American line. On October 7, Burgoyne's second attack met with a fierce American resistance, spearheaded by Major General Benedict Arnold, in the wooded area of Bemis Heights south of Saratoga. Known as the Battle of Bemis Heights, or the Second Battle of Saratoga, this American victory proved to be a major turning point in the Revolutionary War.

Good news for all of you heroes out there who have endured the "1" staring at you from your Marketplace Tile: you can now finally hit that update button for Adobe Reader.
In the ongoing Windows Phone Store oddities of late, Adobe Reader came under scrutiny as many users were upgraded to version 10.1, followed by a second update that seemed to be a bug fix and then a third update.
That third update though brought the app down to version 9.0 and it was extremely frustrating for many users. Adobe Reader had not had an update in nearly 2 years and 10.1 was a breath of fresh air in the app, fixing or adding many new features. To have it yanked from people's devices in such a way was not fun at all.
We have reached out to Microsoft about these Store hiccups but so far have not heard back.
You can pick up Adobe 10.1 here in the Store. Thanks, Saburi, Matthew and Joe for the tip!

Prospect of the Week: February 17, 2014
We continue our Prospect of the Week award, an honor (virtually) given to one Tampa Bay Lightning prospect for their recent contributions on and off the ice.
The Prospect of the Week for February 17, 2014 is … Brian Hart, W, Harvard Crimson (NCAA – USA).
For the third consecutive week a collegiate player is our Prospect of the Week. This week the honor goes to Harvard's Brian Hart, a second round pick (53rd overall) of the Lightning in 2012.
Hart, a 6-3 212-pound forward out of Phillips-Exeter Academy in New Hampshire, had two goals and an assist this week to raise his season point total to 12 (four goals) in 25 games. The Maine native had a goal in Monday's 6-2 Beanpot Consolation Game win over Boston University and followed that up with an assist in a 1-0 upset win over Clarkson on Friday. He finished his weekend with a goal in a 2-2 tie against St. Lawrence on Saturday.
Hart is budding power forward known for his heavy shot and somewhat underrated puck skills. He had 32 goals and 68 points in just 29 games during his last year at Phillips-Exeter. Tampa Bay recognized his potential and took a flier on him in the second round with their second of two picks (Dylan Blujus was taken earlier in the round) in 2012.
Playing the college route is allowing Hart to spend four years developing on and off the ice, especially physically. The hope is Hart, now a sophomore, graduates and is ready for pro hockey as a seasoned forward who can provide size, skill, and physicality on any line. Alex Killorn followed a similar path.
Hart has upped his penalty minutes this year and has played a more physical game with better ice time than he did as a freshman. He has been on Harvard's top two lines most of the season, especially the last two months.
As a longterm project, it's difficult to project where Hart ends up. In his draft year, RedLine said he projects as a third liner in the mold of David Jones, who is now with the Calgary Flames. TSN's Craig Button compared Hart to Bill Guerin, provided Hart improves his skating and speed. Both recognized his heavy shot as being his top ingredient.
Hart's size and smarts likely make him a strong candidate to at least land on the bottom lines in Tampa, but his ceiling is definitely higher. It's a waiting game, and Lightning GM Steve Yzerman has a PhD when it comes to patience with prospects.
We rank Hart No. 14 among Lightning prospects.

The Bisons wasted no time getting on the board scoring two runs in the first on an RBI groundout by Shane Simpkins and an RBI single by Ryan Wilkins.
The Bisons continued their scoring in the third, using solo homeruns by Caleb Joseph and Wilkins to give them a 4-0 lead.
Alcorn State would get a run back in the bottom of the third to bring the score to 4-1.
However, the Bisons were just getting started. Andrew Nickerson recorded an RBI single in the fourth, before Joseph homered once again in the fifth to increase the Bisons lead to 6-1.
The Bisons had their biggest inning in the sixth. Joseph doubled his RBI total on the day, with a two run single. In all, four Bisons' runs crossed the plate.
In the eighth, Joseph recorded his third home run of the game, a three-run shot which gave the Bisons a 13-2 lead.
In the win, Joseph was 4-5 with seven RBIs. Wilkins and Bond also led the Bisons' offense, recording three hits each, with Wilkins also racking up three RBIs.
Bisons' starter, right-hander, Rob Smithson threw a complete game, giving up just two runs on three hits while striking out seven. He earned the win to improve his record to 3-0. In 30 innings, Smithson has given up just two earned runs on 16 hits. His ERA is an impressive .60 and opponents are batting just .148 against him. He is leading the team in strikeouts with 33.

Everyone knows that horses are big fans of the earth – don't they deserve sustainable housing too? Luckily, Blackburn Architects, an award-winning design firm, has catered their services to our equine friends and recently introduced a line of sustainable horse barns called Blackburn greenbarns™. Starting with four pre-designed models, these barns maximize light and ventilation through passive principles of design and specify eco-friendly, low-VOC materials and finishes. Also offered are optional systems such as solar panels and rainwater harvesting to take Blackburn greenbarns™ to the next level in sustainability.
According to the 2008 Agricultural Census, the number of farms in the U.S. are estimated at 2.2 million. While the US Green Building Council currently does not have a LEED classification for agricultural buildings, Blackburn greenbarns™ designer, John Blackburn, believes that barns are untapped resources with an enormous potential to positively impact the environment.
"Assume every farm or ranch has two or three barns or out-structures," Blackburn explains. "Imagine how much energy you could generate – not just save, but actually produce – if you equipped one-half of those millions of roofs with active solar panels. The energy could be sold back to the gird or stored and used on the properties. This is a revolution waiting to happen."

Good structure: whether it's underpinning your house, your working week or that movie script you're dabbling with in your spare time, we all need it. But, when it comes to your tailoring, it doesn't hurt to loosen up occasionally, to relax, and to be flexible.
Beautiful business suits and wonderfully constructed formal blazers look just the ticket at an important event. But come Friday night or a weekend away, they're too stiff. Hey, who brought Mr Buzzkill?
So free yourself from the straight/ straitjacket with an unstructured blazer. As you'll see from this selection of our current favourites, these jackets have less construction, padding and lining so they're softer in the shoulder and more relaxed in fit. As a result they lend themselves to layering and open up more wardrobe combinations. Plus they're lighter, cooler and easier to pack which makes them ideal smart-casual options as we move into summer. What's not to like?

A certificate celebrating 50 years of service for Ilkeston's St John Ambulance Brigade, which was lost in storage, has been handed back after turning up at a garage clearance.
The certificate was originally presented in 1949 to the Ilkeston Corps but was lost when it was bundled away with other papers.
But when it was found it was handed to IlkestonHistory Society at one of its open days at U-Choose smoothie bar.
It has now been presented to Craig Duff, unit manager of the Ilkeston branch of St John Ambulance .
Chairman of the history society, Alan Edwards said that he was delighted to return the certificate,
The Ilkeston branch was one of the earliest brigades to be set up and now has 20 members doing public duties with youths being recruited from ten years of age.
Craig explained that miners were trained in quick medical responses following accidents. It was from these beginnings that the branch was established in 1898 for public and private events.
The unit currently meets at the Arena Church in Ilkeston on Monday nights at 6.30pmfor youths and 7.45pm for adults.

Our Fitness Blog
My Top 5 Motivational Fitness Tips
We have all been there. There are just days or weeks or maybe even months that we can not seem to drag ourselves off of the couch to go workout. It happens to everyone every now and then. So, how do we overcome these feelings? It is, of course, different for everyone because we are all motivated by different things. We are going to take a look at some of the more common techniques people use, and you can decide for yourself if they will work for you.
Keep a fitness log. You can not measure your success based on the scale alone. If you keep a fitness log, you will be able to see every type of achievement you make, such as working out for longer periods of time without getting breathless, making time to visit the gym more often and being able to lift more weight. You can also keep track of your eating habits and body measurements.You may drop a dress size or two and not lose any weight, so this can be a real big deal to a lot of us. However, you have to be diligent in filling out your fitness log.
Never compare yourself to others. Every one of us is different. We all come in different shapes and sizes. We can not change the fact that some of us may be skinnier or taller than others or that they can workout longer or lift more weight than us. Besides, in a gym everyone is working out at a different fitness level, so you do not know how long or how hard some else may have been working on their body. The best thing to do in this situation is to focus on yourself. Pay attention to the changes in your body and your fitness routine, and you will be much happier.
Find a friend. It may help you stay on track if you have someone else encouraging you or depending on you. You could create a nice support team for each other. As I said before, we all have those days when we do not feel like working out, but if you have a friend waiting for you at the gym most of us would feel more inclined to go. It could also make a monotonous fitness routine a little bit more fun if you know someone else will be there with you going through the same thing.
Make it fun. Of course, you do not want to get up off the couch if you are doing the same old thing over and over. You need to switch it up and add a little excitement to your fitness routine. You also do not want your body getting use to your fitness routine. You will almost always stop seeing results if this happens. There are many different fitness options out there if you are getting bored. You could try kickboxing, crossfit, dancing, rock climbing or water aerobics. The options are endless. If you choose something you are interested in doing then you will start looking forward to your fitness routines.
Have a little patience. This can be extremely difficult for most of us, but you need to remember the saying Rome wasn't built in a day. This is also true for your fitness routine and your body. You can not expect to see major results after your first few workouts. It may take multiple trips to the gym before you start seeing any results. However, you need to remain consistent and stick with your fitness routine if you want to achieve your goals.
Going to the gym can seem to be a daunting task for many of us. Hopefully some of these tips can help you stick to your fitness routine. You will never know if you do not try them, right?

New Scientist Column: Kim Stanley Robinson and Gwyneth Jones
Proof of Concept is a great deal less ambivalent about its future, in which most of humanity lives in cramped, heavily-policed enclaves while the rest of the planet is a polluted wasteland. A group of scientists enter enforced isolation, supposedly to study a potential form of faster-than-light travel, but also as a form of reality TV that is a primary form of entertainment in a world that loves dreaming about an "escape ticket". As you'd expect with Jones, everything is a lot weirder than even that premise might suggest, with the novella juggling so many balls that one could easily imagine it being fleshed out into a full-length novel. It's amazing to think that we haven't had a new work from Jones in nearly a decade, and I hope that Proof of Concept is a sign of things to come, though as a work in its own right it feels incomplete (Paul Kincaid comes to similar conclusions at Strange Horizons).

Combined with the near-invisibility of non-white communities – historically the most vulnerable to environmental and financial upheavals – it's a reminder that there are blind spots to Robinson's, and the book's, leftism.
Does it come across as deliberate in any way? As in, the heavily-white leftist societies survived in the new socialist version of flooded New York City because of their more privileged position before the sea rise happened, whereas the communities-of-color had far fewer resources and help to adapt and ended up just displaced completely?
It seems like something he might include, especially since "earlier wave of white gentrifiers rallying against later white gentrifiers" is very much a thing IRL.

Not really, I'm afraid - and this is a book where one of the protagonists is a nameless "citizen" who delivers potted histories of the world and the intervening century, so there's really no justification for not referencing this, if we're to assume that something like that happened.
It's not that there are no POC characters at all - one of the main ones is a black policewoman. But POC communities don't really seem to exist, and this is exacerbated, as N.K. Jemisin pointed out when she wrote about the book in the NYT, by the fact that Brooklyn and the Bronx are completely downplayed in favor of Manhattan. It's a good book and worth reading, but this is a pretty serious blind spot.

I just finished it. Now I see what you mean about the rather "wish fulfillment" ending, particularly in that one chapter where it feels like KSR is having his fantasy response to the 2008 financial crisis take place.

Photograp organizer software
My aunt sent me some old family photos and we have a fair bit of albums here already.
I would like to get all of them sorted on my computer. I'm planning on scanning them (from a Windows machine) and if possible employing a digital camera to snap pictures of some of ones in already in albums. Then transfer the scanned ones to the FreeBSD machine via network and usb for resizing (I'll probably use gimp for this) and sorting along with the photographed ones.
The Problem:
How to organize them all !!!!
I essentially want to store each picture under a defined root directory (e.g. ~/Pictures/Albums or some thing to that effect). Along with some meta data about each photo (and possibly 'folder' or groups) where available, much like writing notes on the back of a photograph or a note in an album.
Normally I'd do this with mkdir, mv, and abusing the file system to contain information about the pictures.
Does anyone know of a program that I could use to handle this in a more elegant manner? Preferably without me having to write my own file system & SQL backed Qt frontend to organize, view, and store the photos with metadata lol.
My Journal
Thou shalt check the array bounds of all strings (indeed, all arrays), for surely where thou typest ``foo'' someone someday shall type ``supercalifragilisticexpialidocious''.
The KDE suite of applications includes something called Digikam which is described as "...an easy to use and powerful digital photo management application, that makes importing, organizing and manipulating digital photos a 'snap'".
You need not install it (and the horde of KDE dependencies it would require) to find out if it would meet your needs; the documentation is in a separate digikam-doc package that you can install and use separately.
Let me rephrase that. It might be an independent port/package on FBSD. I'm an OBSD user, and don't know how KDE is packaged for FBSD.
I have thousands of images and I use Showimg to organize/view them. I've tried just about every piece of photo management software in the FreeBSD ports tree and none can compare.
I tend to organize images with directories much like I organize my music. Showimg has support for categories and image annotation, but I don't have time to write details for every image I have. Other image databases are similar in that you have to spend a lot of time sorting images manually. I think it's easier to look at the thumbnails an put them in reasonably named directories. Categories actually wouldn't be much different or any harder, but I if you decide to change image viewers, all that work you did categorizing your photos is basically lost.
I don't really know what the future of Showimg is right now. It's been quite a while since a new version has come out and I'm not sure if a KDE4 port is in the works.
I found KPhotoAlbum's interface to be a little clunky and unsuited for my purposes. IIRC it requires all images to be under one root directory and I didn't care for that since I keep some images on a separate USB harddrive.
I've tried Digikam too and it wouldn't even start. It's database structure can't cope with the massive amount of images I have.
Most of the other apps I've tried were simply horrible in that they were either very clunky, lackluster, or extremely slow creating/displaying thumbnails. After using ThumbsPlus for years on Windows...I've got to say that open source image organization software is sorely lacking.
There are separate graphics/digikam and graphics/digikam-doc ports, must be a good chunk of docs 0.o
I checked out the projects website and it looks like a good program, if a bit of a 'big' one but hey if it works :\. I can live with the libgphoto depend's (which says it supports my camera coincidentally, hmm) and I don't mind it being KDE based.
Showimg looks like an interesting program for this and a possible replacement for xv as well, hows is it on resource usage BSDKaffee?
I did look at KPhotoAlbum after visiting the DigiKam site. Looks like a program I would like for this task but I'm not sure if the UI is one I'd want to use continually over the years.
When it comes to the libs/de's I'm not overly partial to using one over the other as long as the app doesn't pull in most of an entire desktop environment or break one in the process. I just don't want to have to break down to having to write some thing manageable through Perl+Qt3+SQL on top of all of my other projects atm.
We're talking about maybe ~8 or more albums worth of pictures if every thing (eventually) gets sorted. Possibly over a dozen between grandparents, parents, and personal ones... All of which are likely to need resizing and tagging, so effective use of time is a must!
I have a small for-fun project involving the test machine later, if it doesn't blow up I might be able to give a test install to digicam and showimg over the weekend without mucking with my laptops software.

Seasonally adjusted construction industry employment slipped in June to the lowest total since July 1996 while the industry's unemployment rate remained at 20.1%, more than double the average for all workers, according to analysis of new federal figures by the Associated General Contractors of America (AGC)."The recession may have ended a year ago for most of the economy, but for construction, job losses and business closures continue every month," says Ken Simonson, chief economist for the construction trade association.
"While the rest of the economy added nearly a million jobs in the first half of 2010, 114,000 construction workers lost theirs, joining the two million others who have become unemployed since August 2006."
The industry added 49,000 jobs in March and April as homebuilders and highway contractors geared up, but 30,000 jobs disappeared in May and 22,000 in June as housing cooled and non-residential building slumped further.
The outlook for non-residential building construction remains ominous, according to Simonson. In May, the latest month for which such data is available, architectural firms laid off workers for the 21st time in 22 months."If there's less work for architects now, there will be less for building contractors to bid on and build in coming months," says Simonson.

Holt's "The Fate of Their Country"
Holt places partisan politics over mere sectional differences as the primary lead-in to Civil War. When the two can be separated, Whig-Democrat maneuvering for short term political gain at the expense of the fate of the nation is at least as damaging as the increasing split between North and South. His outline of the Janus-faced (Holt's term) political stances of Southern Whigs during much of this period is fascinating. He makes a powerful case. His argument that the Kansas-Nebraska Act was "arguably the most consequential piece of legislation ever passed by the U.S. Congress" is compelling. Nicole Etcheson makes much the same argument in her book Bleeding Kansas.
I was unaware of the level of Congressional discord and length of debate over the final demarcation of the western border of Texas. Holt's discussion of the Southerners' primary need to salvage honor/save face over any realistic expectation of the extension of slavery into the territories (a view certainly shared by others) is interesting as well. Overall, I think this book is a great introduction to politics at a national level for the 40 years preceding secession. It makes me wish to want to read Holt's "The Rise and Fall of the American Whig Party" (alas, like Joyce's Ulysses, it would likely remain on the shelf as something simply to point at, something you would dearly love to say you have read but are extremely unlikely to actually do so).
2 comments:
His Rise and Fall of the American Whig Party is a much more useful book. The Fate of Their Country is essentially a distillation of Holt's class lecture notes for a course he teaches on the subject, or at least, that's what I've been told. Can't remember who told me - it was in some of my comments, but that section of comments got eaten by a reorg, looks like.ReplyDelete
Short story shorter, Rise and Fall of the American Whig Party is a much, much different book from that of Fate of Their Country. The latter is a real let-down if you encounter it *after* Rise and Fall of the American Whig Party.
Thanks for your comments. Yeah, I doubt anyone would read this one if they had already consumed "Rise and Fall". I haven't gotten to his "Political Crisis of the 1850s" either. I thought "Fate of Their Country" might be a good Cliff Notes scale primer.

No matter what type of eyeliner you prefer, you can probably find the perfect formula and color somewhere in MAC's extensive eyeliner range. From traditional liner pencils to kohl pencils, liquid liners, and gels, no one can walk away from a MAC counter and honestly say they couldn't find a liner they liked.
Pencil wearers can choose from traditional Pencil Liners, soft Eye Kohl pencils and their more intense cousins the Kohl Power Eye Pencils, the mechanical pencil-style Technakohl Liner, and the long lasting cult favorite Powerpoint Eye Pencils. The Powerpoints are absolutely budge-proof. Permaplum is a very rich metallic purple that is dark enough to look natural. It also has a pink shimmer but don't be put off by that. It's not noticeable but instead has the effect of making the liner look multi-dimensional.
For those who never have any luck with pencils, there are a number of liquid options. Liquid Eye Liner is a standard liquid liner whereas Penultimate Eye Liner is a liquid liner with a pen tip. MAC's Liquidlast Liner is a very long-wearing liquid liner with a brush applicator that stays on even through a day at the beach or after some serious crying. Not only does it not run, it also doesn't flake, which is pretty impressive for a liquid liner. In fact, when it's time to remove it, plan on expending an extra effort with a waterproof eye makeup remover. It comes in a lot of fun colors that can be hard to find in liquid liners, such as the teal-colored Aqualine.

Fluidlines are the best of both worlds. They are gel liners that look soft and smooth like a pencil but without the hassle of sharpening. The Fluidlines do not smudge and come in cute little glass pots. You have a lot of control over the application because you can use whatever brush you want depending on the desired outcome. Blitz & Glitz is a classic black with a golden pearl twist. It seems almost impossible to go through an entire pot, but be sure to cap the lid tightly to avoid drying out the gel.
With so many great options, the only problem you will have when buying a MAC Eyeliner is narrowing down your selection!

Wabash Tops Wooster, Advancesby Jim Amidon • April 29, 2011 Share:
Brian Van Duyn pitched into the ninth inning with warrior-like mentality, hurling over 140 pitches to earn the victory in Wabash's 3-2 win over the College of Wooster in the second round of the NCAC Baseball Tournament.
Wooster entered the tournament as the top seed, but sloppy fielding by the Scots, timely hitting by the Little Giants, and Van Duyn's grace under pressure helped give Wabash its second win over Wooster this year.
Van Duyn allowed just two runs on 10 hits over 8 2/3 innings on a day when he threw 142 pitches and struck out six Wooster batters. Luke Zinsmaster came on to get the save, but not before walking a couple of batters.
The win improves Wabash to 20-20. Coach Cory Stevens' Little Giants have earned a spot in Saturday afternoon's championship round. Should the Little Giants win Saturday's 1 p.m. contest, Wabash will capture the 2011 NCAC Championship. If Wabash loses its first game, it will have another shot at the title in a 4 p.m. contest in the double elimination tourney.
Wabash managed just six hits against Wooster — led by John Holm's three hits and a solo home run to lead off the fifth inning.
Wooster had taken a 2-0 lead with runs in the third and fourth innings, but Van Duyn shut down the Scots the rest of the way.
Meanwhile, sloppy fielding in the home half of the seventh allowed Wabash to take the lead and the victory. Wabash managed just one hit, but two errors allowed John Pennington and and Holm to score and gave Wabash the victory.

Arts Trust & License Plate
Your purchase of an Arts Trust license plate will do more than decorate your vehicle or motorcycle; it will secure continuous funding for the arts in Indiana. Arts Trust license plates are available at any branch office of the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles and can also be ordered online. There is no special application or authorization form needed to obtain an Arts Trust license plate, and they are available to all Hoosier motorists.
For more information, visit the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles website.
Cost & Donation
The cost of the plate is $40. A donation of $25 will go to the IAC Cultural Trust Fund and the additional $15 covers BMV registration fees.
About the Cultural Trust Fund
The Cultural Trust Fund was created through legislative action in 1997, establishing a vehicle with which the IAC can enhance the funding, encouraging, promoting, and expanding of the arts in Indiana through financial resources outside the agency's biennial budget. The IAC Cultural Trust Fund is a proactive means of ensuring future financial support to Hoosier communities to enhance cultural resources for the benefit of their citizens. Moneys generated through the fund would be used to augment, not replace, appropriations from the Indiana General Assembly to the IAC.
A seven-member Cultural Trust Fund Administrative Board oversees the management of the funds as well as develop fund-raising strategies. The Board is comprised of three members appointed by the bi-partisan IAC; three members would be appointed by the Governor; and the Treasurer of the State of Indiana or designee, will also serve as a member.
The Administrative Board develops investment and fund-raising policies and guidelines and will also acquire funds from public and private sources. The State Treasurer administers and invests the money in the fund. Interest and dividends from the investment of the funds will be appropriated annually to the IAC. As with any public or private foundation, the IAC and the Cultural Trust Fund Administrative Board must comply with applicable state and federal laws regarding fund management and allocations. Allocation of these funds to communities is based upon customer input through a strategic planning process. The funds may not be used for the purchase of land or permanent facilities.

|The Spanish language has existed in Alabama, since the colonial period as individuals have immigrated and settled here, but the little Spanish community was never numerous nor concentrated. Once these individuals married an American, the language usually became extinct within the first generation. If it was indeed passed down, it became a "dead" language as only passive bilinguals had limited knowledge of it. I have also searched for any survivals of Basque, Galician and specifically Catalan, in the local area, with no success.
The Spanish language in Alabama from the Spanish Colonial Period (1780-1813) and the pre-1861 period, died out in the late 1940's. This language was still spoken by grandchildren of the Spanish colonists as late as the Second World War. My research into "Alabama Spanish" shows that the last fluent pre-1861 Spanish speaker died during this period.
I found and interviewed two grandchildren
of Colonial Spanish speakers. Both are in their
mid-eighties who are vestigial "rememberers" who, although they themselves cannot speak Spanish, they were able to follow a simple conversation in Spanish and answer questions posed to them. Both of them remembered parts of a popular children's song which was sung to them by their grandfathers and one was able to remember parts of a popular "Decima" song he heard growing up. They pronounced the little Spanish words they put together in what can best be described as the atypical Caribbean Spanish whose beginnings were in the Canary Islands and southern Spain with a admixture of the northern Spanish dialects. There are about ten or so "rememberers" whose Spanish ancestors arrived between 1860 and 1900. I have been unable to find any other "Alabama Spanish" survivals. There has never been a study of this vestigial "Alabama Spanish," and I fear that the last living memories of the men and women who left Spain and her colonies for a new life in Alabama will die with them.
The Spanish Ladino dialect still exists among
Sephardic Jews, who live and worship in Alabama, but I have been able to identify only one individual in Mobile who speaks it fluently. There is a small Sephardic community, in Montgomery, but they arrived after 1910. The Ladino dialect spoken by the original immigrants which is based on the dialect of the Island of Rhodes exists, but is presently in irreversible language death.
Welcome, I'll be writing about the History of The South from the Colonial Era to the Present. I'm a Historian and Genealogist, as well as the Author of the popular bilingual "Rosales' History of The South" Newspaper Column and Radio Show and also the Author of various books and articles dealing with Southern History and Genealogy. I will be happy to assist you in finding your Southern, Confederate or Hispanic Ancestors, so feel free to email me at firstname.lastname@example.com

* Blog Makeover and Update
Some of you may have noticed that my blog has been acting a bit strangely over the past few days.
Your mind is not playing tricks on you -- I've been typing away like a crazy woman trying to fix my blog. A few days ago half of my blog disappeared along with my blog designer from 5 years ago. She vanished and so did half of my stuff. It left me scrambling to fix everything and if we're being honest,
I'm much more comfortable with felt and Mod Podge than I am with coding and computer stuff! I decided to use the "opportunity" that was given to me as a chance to make a fresh start for the new year. I'm doing some blog housekeeping and fixing some glitches that have been neglected for a while.
I always clean out the house and purge a lot of stuff around the holidays to take back some of my OCD control over the clutter and chaos of the holidays. I take down holiday decorations and streamline countertops and bookshelves. I frequently rearrange furniture this time of year to create more space. I'm also streamlining my blog and clearing some clutter as well. You should see underneath my bathroom cabinets and my closets right now -- they're awesome! I hope you all like the new design and format.
I'm doing the best I can here but I also have a house to run, a dog to walk, art lessons to teach at school, and kids to raise so it's taking a bit longer than I would like. Please be patient with any funny spots or glitches you may encounter on my site right now!
I'm also in the middle of planning birthday parties for both girls. As you know, we like to do fun themed parties every year with lots of personalized touches. The girls have birthdays that are exactly two weeks apart so I'm gearing up for a double header of birthday parties as well as making class valentines and fixing my blog mess! Thank goodness they have small parties with their most special friends, otherwise I'd have a nervous breakdown right now. I'm excited to see where this new year goes, I have a lot of fun project ideas I'm looking forward to sharing with you.
In the meantime, here's a sneak peek of the homemade felt birthday banners, I've been working on this week. If you follow me on Instagram, I shared this photo earlier this week before the blog crash. I'm PINKANDGREENMAMA on Instagram if you want to follow me -- I apologize for the all caps, it looks like I'm yelling.
"E" is planning an Ocean Themed bash for her 10th birthday in March with blue and green as the color scheme. "C" is planning a pink and purple Rapunzel Princess party for her 6th birthday in February. I'm making them each a new banner since our original Rainbow birthday banner doesn't really match their parties!
Thanks for sticking with me. New fun stuff is on it's way, I promise!

"A Eucharistic requirement for that day is very fitting." https://t.co/Pf4x6bFS9k
"Es gibt nicht mehr als 100 Menschen auf der Welt, die die Katholische Kirche wirklich hassen, aber es gibt Millionen, die das hassen, was sie für die Katholische Kirche halten…Wenn wir Katholiken all die Unwahrheiten und Lügen, die gegen die Kirche gesagt wurden, glauben würden, würden wir die Kirche wahrscheinlich Tausend Mal mehr hassen als sie es tun."
Erzbischof Fulton Sheen
Michael Card: "Why?"
Why did it have to be a friend who chose to betray the Lord?
and why did he use a kiss to show them, that's not what a kiss is for?
Only a friend can betray a friend, a stranger has nothing to gain.
and only a friend comes close enough to ever cause so much pain.
Why did it have to be a thorny crown place upon his head?
It should have been a royal one, made of jewels and gold instead.
It had to be a crown of thorns, because in this world that we live,
all that would seek to love a thorn is all the world has to give.
Why did it have to be a heavy cross he was made to bear?
and why did they nail His feet and hands; His love would have held him there.
It was a cross for on a cross, a thief was supposed to pay.
and Jesus had come into the world to steal every heart away.
Yes, Jesus had come into the world to steal every heart away.

"Interesting that they call it "gay pride" because pride is the worst of sins and the root of all other sins - in essence a stubborn rebellion against God and his commandments. This parade in Tel Aviv is awful and shameful not only because Israel promotes sexual perversion and the distortion of God's purpose for the human person, but it's even worse because they celebrate it with "pride". Remember that God will extend His protection upon you, Israel, only to the extent that you keep his commandments. In other words, you are inviting disaster upon your nation. Repent!"

"We do not want a church that will move with the world. We want a church that will move the world."
― G.K. Chesterton
Wisdom of the ancients: "Should we look to kings and princes to put
right the inequalities between rich and poor? Should we require soldiers
to come and seize the rich person's gold and distribute it among his
destitute neighbors? Should we beg the emporer to impose a tax on the
rich so great that it reduces them to the level of the poor and then to
share the proceeds of that tax among everyone? Equality imposed by force
would achieve nothing, and do much harm. Those who combined
both cruel hearts and sharp minds would soon find ways of making
themselves rich again. Worse still, the rich whose gold was taken away
would feel bitter and resentful; while the poor who received the gold
from the hands of soldiers would feel no gratitude, because no
generosity would have prompted the gift. Far from bringing moral benefit
to society, it would actually do moral harm. Material justice cannot be
accomplished by compulsion, a change of heart will not follow. The only
way to achieve true justice is to change people's hearts first - and
then they will joyfully share their wealth." -- St. John Chrysostom, Bishop of Constantinople (died in 407 A.D.)
My goal in life? I want to cross the finish line with nothing else left to give for my Lord, hearing those words: "Well done, good and faithful servant, enter in!"
"Das Gebet ist die beste Waffe, die wir haben ; es ist ein Schlüssel, der das Herz Gottes öffnet".
Padre Pio
Private Website:
do you and I realize what we are doing at this point? We are molding
Jesus into our image. He is beginning to look a lot like us because,
after all, that is whom we are most comfortable with. And the danger now
is that when we gather in our church building to sing and lift up our
hands in worship, we may not actually be worshiping the Jesus of the
Bible. Instead we may be worshiping ourselves"

Eighteen weeks and counting. This had better be a mighty cute baby is all I'm saying.
I have been craving certain types of foods (this, again, is no different from before I was pregnant, only that I'm paying more attention to foods that don't fill me with a sense of mortal loathing), but these foods are not so difficult to locate in Atlanta. Mostly I've been craving Chinese soups. Real Chinese soups. Not the messes you find in your Chinese takeout restaurants--your MSG-laden wonton soups, your cornstarch-thickened hot sour soups or what have you. And it's really not that I have anything in particular against takeout Chinese food--it has its place, and I enjoy a mess of greasy pan-fried noodles with beef as much as the next person. It's just a different cuisine entirely. Authentic Chinese soups--what they in Chinatown call "slow fire soups" (I believe this is the more literal translation--anyone who speaks Chinese better than I please correct if necessary), are a different beast; soups that have been slowly simmering over the stove for hours, if not all day.
Chinese "slow fire" soups are different than Western-style soups in that they are much more broth-oriented. Many Western-style soups (consommé excluded) do kind of straddle that line between soup and stew--the solid ingredients are the focus rather than the broth itself. Chinese soups tend to focus more on the liquid component. You could filter our all the solids and still have an exquisite bowl of soup--clear yet full-bodied. Not to get all medical on you (nor to get you to focus on the common end-point of all ingested foodstuffs) but Chinese soups could well be included in a clears-only diet, whereas most Western soups would be excluded until one's diet was advanced to full regular.
What I decided I wanted to make was a winter melon soup.
(Thankfully, my go-to Asian mart sells winter melon pre-hacked into usable-sized chunks, because I seem to have left my machete in the car.)
Now let's not let the fact that I have never in my life made a winter melon soup, nor the need for a few specialty ingredients deter you. That's what the Internet is for. I skimmed this recipe from Epicurious (which I used more as inspiration rather than explicit instruction, because--stuff a whole chicken's hollowed out organ cavities with matchsticked scallions ham and ginger to make my own chicken broth? How much time do you think I have?) and kind of cobbled together my own recipe out of what schedule constraints and ingredients I could readily get my hands on. And now here it is for you.
I don't really have the amounts precisely because I'm a little slapdash as a cook, but here's what I used generally:
- Winter melon (Dur. May be hard to find in a regular supermarket, but an Asian grocery store should have it)
- One big carrot (to give the soup some easy sweetness)
- Smoked ham hocks (for adding porky fattiness to the broth--the kind I got were frozen but no matter--I used half of the package depicted)
- Chicken broth (I used one carton's worth)
- Water (About 1.5x as much as the chicken broth)
- Ginger (peeled carefully!) -- about two inches worth
- Scallions (one bunch)
- Dried shrimp (about a handful)
- Dried shitake mushrooms (about a handful too)
- Salt
Except for the winter melon, put everything into a pot and then simmer the shit out of it for three hours.
(Seriously, that's most of my "recipe." LOOK, I DON'T COOK, OK?)
Fine: I peeled the carrot, cut the ginger into discs and cut the scallions into four sections, but seriously--that's about it. Oh, but look at this cool thing I got at the Asian mart (it's not an Asian implement per se, but they happened to sell it there for super cheap):
Maybe you can't see it too well from the shadow of the pot lid, but it's this little permeable metal basket for broth-making ingredients. I wanted to flavor the broth with the scallions and the dried shrimp*, but I didn't want to go fishing them all out at the end either, because my goal was a nice, clean soup without a lot of bits floating around in it. So this basket seemed like a good option, almost like a giant version of those things that people use when they want to use loose tea instead of teabags.
Anyway, simmer the shit out of it. Salt the broth to taste, but don't get too crazy with the salt unless you want to RUIN EVERYTHING. After three hours, take out all your ham hocks and your little basket of scallions and dried shrimp--they've done their job, now they can go, because they are ugly. I guess a purist might filter the broth through a fine mesh to get it really nice and clear, but what am I, Martha Stewart? Just leave it, it's fine.
Cut up your winter melon (not including the peel, also get rid of the seeds and stringy stuff) and cut it into nice spoonable sized chunks. Add to the broth and simmer for another half an hour or so, or until the melon gets translucent and velvety. I also added a little bit of Napa cabbage at the end because it seemed contextually similar and something else to soak up those nice soupy flavors, but you don't have to--it's not really a classic interpretation.
(I have seen some other recipe variations which included cilantro, which while I admit might improve the presentation--the palette runs somewhat monochromatic--also kind of defeats what to me is the essential appeal of winter melon soup. I think of this soup the way that Ruth Reichl once described mushroom soup, which is that it is smooth and easy and comforting with no sharp edges to jar the palate. I like cilantro, but it doesn't belong in every damn thing, people.)
Dish it out. Serve with white rice. Or put the rice and the soup right in the same bowl, like I do.
It's eatin' time.
How about you all? What easy ethnic comfort foods have you guys have been able to recreate reliably at home without too much fuss?
* I substituted dried shrimp for dried scallops, because even at the Asian food mart, there were no dried scallops to be found. Perhaps at a different market, or in Chinatown--a urban neighborhood which, so far as I am aware, Atlanta lacks. I do recall there being a jar of dried scallops in the fridge at my house during most of my childhood, and though they looked like ugly little dessicated eraser nubs, I can attest that the flavor is quite good--very salty and savory and jammed with flavor, like fishy Milk Duds. Dried shrimp is a decent substitution though, or at least so says Ming Tsai, noted Chinese person who cooks stuff on the teevee.

The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland that sits low on the front of the neck. Your thyroid lies below your Adam's apple, along the front of the windpipe. The thyroid has two side lobes, connected by a bridge (isthmus) in the middle. When the thyroid is its normal size, you can't feel it.
Brownish-red in color, the thyroid is rich with blood vessels. Nerves important for voice quality also pass through the thyroid.
The thyroid secretes several hormones, collectively called thyroid hormones. The main hormone is thyroxine, also called T4. Thyroid hormones act throughout the body, influencing metabolism, growth and development, and body temperature. During infancy and childhood, adequate thyroid hormone is crucial for brain development.

Maybe it was the 90° heat in Moline, but Deere's new planter introduction in July had my head spinning with a lot more machines than I expected. Sure, I was sweating into my shoes out in the hot sun, but that didn't matter. I was psyched and ready to see the star player, the new high-volume Central Commodity System (CCS) that graced our cover last month. I figured I'd learn the full story on CCS, fill in some details and then hit the showers.
It turned out I got caught looking one way and was blind-sided by a completely new squad of machines. Those big yellow seed tanks were just part of the story.
1790 front-fold planter
Deere gave its venerable Max-Emerge planter a new frame, hydraulic system, markers, drives and the bulk-fill CCS. The 12-row machine uses a 30-ft. frame, and the 16-row unit has a 40-ft. frame.
Staggered row units plant corn, cotton, soybeans or milo. The 31-row unit with 100-bu. capacity can plant 2,000 acres of corn or soybeans in 83 hrs. Only 3.5 of those hours are needed for filling. The rest of the time is spent rolling across the field at 6.5 mph.
A hydraulically driven fan provides high-volume, low-pressure airflow to transfer seed from the CCS tanks to a 1/16-bu. mini-hopper on each row unit. An agitator over the air nozzles keeps seed moving.
For rotating the seed meters, a flexible Pro-Shaft drive system replaces the old chain drive. The shaft looks like a thick speedometer cable and is easier to engage and disengage than a chain. You can pull the unit apart, clean it out and put it back together in seconds. A special pan comes with the machine and attaches to the row unit under the meter. Open the seed meter housing, remove the seed disc, and the remaining seed falls into the pan.
The Tru-Vee disc openers, gauge wheels, closing system and seed-metering system are the same as those on the new Pro-Series Max-Emerge Plus row units. Both vacuum and mechanical drives are available. Pneumatic or heavy-duty adjustable spring down force are options on the row units.
For contours, the new three-section frame flexes 15° up and down relative to the center section. A staggered-row-unit design improves residue flow in 15- and 30-in. row widths. Configurations include 12-, 16-, 24-, 31- and 32-row units. The planter can carry liquid or granular insecticide. A heavy-duty option offers a 420-gal. fertilizer tank. Prices for the base machine range from $71,301 to $93,904.
1770NT is a 16-row planter with a narrow transport width of 12 ft. — 3 ft. less than the transport width of Deere's older-model 16-row planters. Two frame options are lightweight non-fertilizer and heavy-duty fertilizer configurations.
90 series drills (the 1895 and 1890 air drills are described below) have a new population rate control system that lets the operator change seed populations on the go from the tractor seat. The 1590 is an improved version of its predecessors — the 750 and 1560 no-till drills that excelled in no-till, heavy residue conditions.
DB series large-frame planters are the largest planters Deere has ever offered. Deere supplies the row units, seed drives, and vacuum and monitor systems. Bauer Built Manufacturing makes the frames. The widest planter is the DB80, with 32 rows and 30-in. spacing.
1895 no-till air drill is similar to the 1890 but also is equipped to accurately place fertilizer during planting in a separate band apart from the seed. It is a three-drill rank with single-disc fertilizer openers on the front rank at 20-in. spacing.
1910 air carts have a new telescoping spout that shortens fill time and makes topping off the tank easier. The design has extra lighting and has eliminated clean-out chutes by using a new, simple latch system. Capacities of the carts range from 195 to 430 bu.
1890 no-till air drill features improved single-disc openers. The relocated seed boot improves depth control, penetration and seed placement. A residue shield is now standard, and improved spring pressure between the boot and the blade helps reduce residue buildup. The 1890 is compatible with a tow-between or tow-behind 1910 air cart.
1690 soybean special drills soybeans or milo in 15-in. spacing. Less expensive than a split-row planter, the 1690 can plant at speeds up to 10 mph. Bulk-carrying capacity of 270 bu. allows planting up to 400 acres/day with the 42.5-ft. 34-opener machine.

Harvard's varsity eight is pictured March 30 against Delaware (photo Harvard Atheltic Communications).
PHILADELPHIA, Pa. – The Harvard lightweight crew's top two varsity boats collected wins for the second straight Saturday against Cornell and Penn in Philadelphia, Pa. The Crimson's second freshmen/novice eight also emerged victorious on the day.
A cross tailwind and flat water made for quick racing conditions in the early going, before the wind subdued over the course of the morning. The first freshmen/novice eight race benefited the most from the morning situation, as the freshmen crews produced faster times than the varsity eights.
Cornell took the first race of the regatta, the third varsity eight competition, which started at 10:10 a.m. Harvard was in second (6:17.1) and 11.6 seconds behind the Big Red, before the fast-paced freshmen race took to the water. Harvard's first freshmen/novice eight was edged in a photo finish for second place by Cornell in a race that Penn took in 5:50.6, the fastest mark of the day thanks to the best conditions of the day.
Next, Harvard posted back-to-back wins in the top two varsity races. The second and first varsities each stopped the clock in 5:52.0 to win by 6.5 and 2.7 seconds, respectively. Cornell put together a strong second half of the first varsity race to challenge Harvard, but the Crimson held off the Big Red to earn the win.
The final race, the second freshmen/novice eight, featured a collision in the first 10 strokes forcing Harvard and Penn's to restart from the starting line. The second sendoff went clean and the Crimson gradually built a lead to win with a small amount of open water in 6:30.8.
Harvard moves to Princeton, N.J., to face Georgetown tomorrow morning. The previously announced schedule has been changed and can be found below.

Task forces established this summer by Mayor Don Wesely today issued their reports on technology, air service and entrepreneurial growth in the City of Lincoln. Wesely formed the task forces through the Lincoln Partnership for Economic Development, a joint-public-private venture with the Lincoln Chamber of Commerce.
"Gallup's decision to look outside of Lincoln for expansion prompted us to look at the key issues involved, to see what we need to do as a community to position our city for future economic development in the 21st century," Mayor Wesely said. "I appreciate the hard work of all the task force members, who are some of the top business and academic leaders in our city."
Serving as chair to oversee the work of the task forces was Ed Paquette, Executive Director of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Alumni Association. The task forces will become a key part of a rapid response team to help ensure that Lincoln can take advantage of economic growth opportunities for established, emerging and new businesses. Mayor Wesely said technology, capital and transportation are key to our efforts, and the intention is that we can take a unified approach in these areas to attract new business and encourage expansion of existing businesses.
"Lincoln has tremendous assets among the cooperative partnership of the business community, University and City. We need to trumpet the terrific climate of opportunity that these partnerships offer us in marketing our community to potential businesses," Wesely said.
Following are summaries of the task force reports:
This task force concluded that while Lincoln's infrastructure is competitive, the community must be more responsive and have a greater vision for our future in the new economy of the Information Age. Lincoln has at times not taken advantage of emerging opportunities and stands to lose ground because we lack focus on the many key elements necessary for a vigorous technological future. Among other things, the group recommends creating a technology council to advise the mayor and the chamber and to create a culture of advocacy and support for technology businesses.
Air Service:
This task force agreed that Lincoln is at a disadvantage because many local business travelers -- key customers for airlines considering the Lincoln market -- feel they can get more destinations and flight times and better prices at Omaha's Eppley Field. Still, three-quarters of our local business people do fly from Lincoln, and more than half are willing to pay more to do it. This group recommends further exploration of six key questions about the Lincoln air market. These include further study of the Lincoln business traveler's needs, marketing opportunities and long-term strategy.
Entrepreneurial Growth:
This task force was comprised of members of the board of directors of the Nebraska Enterprise Forum (NEF). The two-year-old volunteer group brings together entrepreneurs with useful business services, capital, potential joint-venture partners, mentors and other resources. NEF is an active group that has been a catalyst for expanding venture capital opportunities and investments in start-up and high-growth companies. Its board, working with the State Department of Economic Development, last fall launched an effort to establish a sustainable framework for venture capital development. The general conclusion is that this initiative be encouraged and fostered as the basis for future entrepreneurial growth in the Lincoln community.

Years in the making, Boulder-based Lucky's Market soon will have a sister store.
Lucky's Market, which operates a grocery store, café and bakery off Quince Avenue and Broadway in north Boulder, plans to open a grocery store in Longmont in the summer of 2013, officials announced Tuesday.
The new Lucky's will anchor the Parkway Promenade Shopping Center, a multimillion-dollar refurbishment of the 120,000-square-foot Parkway Center at 700 Ken Pratt Blvd.
The 26,000-square-foot store -- double the size of the original Lucky's in Boulder -- also is expected to have a full-service liquor store.
"Those ancillary things (such as a café and bakery) that we've built around our market will come inside there," said Bo Sharon, who has owned and operated Lucky's for nearly 10 years. "Everything will be a little bit bigger."
Sharon said he has entertained the idea of a second location for a few years and came fairly close to realizing those dreams. Three years ago, Sharon entered into negotiations to buy the former Wild Oats Markets store on Baseline Road when it was put on the sales block as a result of Whole Foods Market's settlement with the Federal Trade Commission.
That sale was not completed and the market, at 2584 Baseline Road, landed in Whole Foods' hands.
Lucky's success in recent years allowed Sharon and crew to shore up cash to reinvest in the business through opening the café, the newly added creamery and bakehouse and, finally, the second store, he said.
Longmont "just makes sense," Sharon said, noting its proximity to Boulder and its growing farmers' market.
"It's unbelievably exciting," he said. "It's taken us a good amount of time and effort to get to where we are in a comfortable state to feel we can sustain and succeed with another store.
"It's perfect timing."
The Lucky's in Longmont will employ about 80 people, he said.
"Everybody inside of Lucky's Boulder is part of the team, so the ability to leverage some of the experience that we've gained will definitely be played out in Longmont," Sharon said. "It obviously generates a bit of opportunity for our guys that we've never been able to do before."
The arrival of Lucky's signals further growth in the natural and organic grocery options in Longmont. Natural Grocers By Vitamin Cottage operates a store on 1745 N. Main St. and Sprouts Farmers Market plans to open a location at 1101 S. Hover, in a space formerly occupied by the now-defunct Borders.
Sprouts has targeted a Jan. 2 opening for is Longmont location.
Steve Hoffman, industry observer and president of Boulder-based Compass Natural Marketing, noted that sales of natural and organic products continue to have a double-digit annual growth rate and the products are garnering a greater demand throughout Boulder County.
"Boulder itself has so much competition for food retail and yet it continues to be a thriving market," he said. "I think you're seeing that expand throughout the county, with Alfalfa's going into Lafayette and you're seeing Longmont now come into its own in terms of demand for healthier food."

The new priesthood implying a change in sacrifices and the covenant
Hebrews 8. The introduction of this new priesthood, exercised in heaven, implies a change in the sacrifices and in the covenant. This the inspired writer develops here, setting forth the value of the sacrifice of Christ, and the long-promised new covenant. The direct connection is with the sacrifices; but he turns aside for a moment to the two covenants, a so wide-embracing and all-weighty consideration for the christian Jew who had been under the first.
Hebrews 8 in this respect is simple and clear; the last verses only give room for a few remarks.
The sum of the doctrine presented
The sum of the doctrine we have been considering is, that we have a High Priest who is seated on the throne of the Majesty in the heavens, a Minister of the heavenly sanctuary which is not made with hands. As such, He must have an offering to present there. Jesus, were He on earth, would not be a Priest; there were priests on earth according to the law, in which all things were but figures of the heavenly things; as Moses was told to make all according to the pattern that was shown him in the mount. But the ministry of Jesus is more excellent, because He is the Mediator of a better covenant, spoken of in Jeremiah 31, which is here quoted; a clear and simple proof that the first covenant was not to continue.
The two covenants
We again find here that particular development of the truth which was called for by the character of the persons to whom this letter was addressed.
The first covenant was made with Israel; the second must be so likewise, according to the prophecy of Jeremiah. The epistle however in this passage only makes use of the fact that there was to be a second covenant, in order to demonstrate that the first was to last no longer. It had grown old, and was to vanish away. He recites the terms of the new covenant. We shall find that he makes use of it afterwards. In that which follows, he contrasts the services that belonged to the first with the perfect work on which Christianity is founded. Thus the extent and the value of the work of Christ are introduced.
Although there is no difficulty here, it is important to have light with regard to these two covenants, because some have very vague ideas on this point, and many souls, putting themselves under covenants — that is, in relationship with God under conditions in which He has not placed them — lose their simplicity, and do not hold fast grace and the fulness of the work of Christ, and the position He has acquired for them in heaven.
A covenant defined; the old and the new
A covenant is a principle of relationship with God on the earth
— conditions established by God under which man is to live with
Him. The word may perhaps be used figuratively, or by
accommodation. It is applied to details of the relationship of God
with Israel, and so to Abraham (Gen. 15), and like cases; but,
strictly speaking, there are but two covenants, in which God has
dealt with man on earth, or will — the old and the new. The old was
established at Sinai. The new covenant is made also with the two
houses of Israel.*
The gospel is not a covenant, but the revelation of the salvation of God. It proclaims the great salvation. We enjoy indeed all the essential privileges of the new covenant, its foundation being laid on God's part in the blood of Christ, but we do so in spirit, not according to the letter.
The new covenant will be established formally with Israel in the millennium. Meanwhile the old covenant is judged by the fact that there is a new one.

Now, I'm going to demonstrate some tips and uses of them.
Well, imagine the following situation...
Let's we have created VuGen script, which emulates the one user:
The problem: script runs correctly in VuGen for one user, but it fails for several concurrent users. This happens since we recorded the VuGen script for the specific user:
I marked "username" and "password" parameters and values with red lines.
Application under test (AUT) does not allow several sessions of the same user.
So, if second concurrent VuGen user logs in to application, he gets an error:
The solution: to parameterize the VuGen script.
- Right click on a value we want to parameterize (in our case this is a username - "load1") and select "Replace with a parameter" menuitem:
- Name the new parameter as "UserName" and click OK btn:
Please, pay attention to "Parameter type" combobox. It contains interesting possible types, such as: "Date/Time", Iteration Number, Random number, even XML, and others.
I will not describe them in the present post... I hope, I will have a chance to describe parameter types later. In any case, it depends on the opinion of the blog readers :)
- Wow! the value "load1" will be changed with a UserName parameter:
We have just added the new parameter! It's wonderful, isn't it, dear friend? :)
But where can we specify the real values for our parameter? How to configure it?
Let's continue...
- Right click on the just added parameter and select "Parameter properties":
By the way, this menu allows others operations with parameters. You can:
- "Restore original value (load1)"
In other words, rollback your changes
- "Replace more occurrences" This menuitem will find for the initial string ("load1") in the script and will propose to replace it with the new parameter ({UserName}).Tips: Please, use this feature carefully. For example, let's there is "http://server/load1.htm" link in the script. Here, "load1.htm" is a name of page, but user. "Replace All" will produce incorrect link - "http://server/{UserName}.
- "Restore original value (load1)"
- "Parameter properties" will be shown:
- This dialog is a "heart" of any parameter. You can here:
- specify the type of the parameter
- create the pool of values for any parameter (add new values for any parameter)
- specify, how the parameter will be changed against interations and users
- and other different settings...
Tips: You can open dat-file (UserName.dat) and edit its content in the Notepad or Excel. MS Excel is useful if file contains values for several parameters.
Tips: I recommend to read the LR Function Reference, topic "Data Assignment and Update Methods for File/Table Parameters". It contains the excellent table describing Update and Data Assignement methods ("Update value on" combobox and "Select next row" combobox correspondingly). There are explanations with examples which describes - what settings should be applied for your case.
In the issue, the filled dialog will look like:
These settings specify:
- the list of values to be used ("load1", "load2", "John21", etc.)
- update method ("Once") and data assignment method ("Unique").
The combination means: "The unique value assigned in the first iteration is used for all subsequent iterations of the Vuser"
So, that's exactly the same we need.
- After that I perform the similar procedure (steps 1-6) for "Password" parameter:
Please, note:
- You can store parameters in the one dat-file. As for me, I prefer this way. Separating test data from the code is a good idea. And using one data-file is very convenient.
- In this post I use two dat-file. Just for demonstration...
- Ooh! Everything is completed I hope. Now, we have to create a scenario, add parameterized LoadRunner VuGen script and execute it :)
Here you are:
All transactions passed. In other words, all concurrent user logged with their unique login/password combination. Each user had his own session.
The summary: Parameterizing allows simplify load/performance testing:
- Instead of writing a separate LoadRunner VuGen script for each virtual user, we added parameters for specific information (username & password) and used the one script for all users.
- Parameterizing allows decrease maintenance cost. If application under test is changed, one test should be updated for 100 (e.g.) users, but 100 tests for each user
- Supporting of tests is a real pleasure :) To add new user, a test has to update dat-files only.
All three advantages is the result of data-driven testing methodology.
I plan to describe later how to write data-driven tests, what concepts should be used, and so on.

If you're thinking about planting dedicated energy crops at some point in the future, I'd suggest keeping an eye on Ceres, Inc., Thousand Oaks, CA. Ceres launched the first multi-crop energy seed brand, Blade Energy Crops (www.bladeenergy.com), last year and is currently marketing switchgrass and high-biomass sorghum varieties as feedstocks for biofuels and biopower.
Ceres announced this week that it plans to increase biomass yields of several energy grasses (including switchgrass, sorghum and miscanthus) by as much as 40% in coming years while also decreasing the use of inputs, including nitrogen fertilizer. The U.S Department of Energy has awarded Ceres a $5 million grant to develop these grasses.
"Low-input traits developed through modern genetics can provide wide-reaching benefits to the energy and agricultural sectors as well as the environment, just the type of transformational impact energy officials are looking for," says Richard Flavell, Ceres chief scientific officer.
Ceres estimates that its traits alone could help displace 1.3 billion barrels of oil and 58 million tons of coal over a 10-year period.
