Coming Out As A Trump Supporter Caused This Drag Queen To Be 'Black-Balled' From Gigs
Photo: Instagram
A Florida-based drag queen who goes by the name Elaine Lancaster says she's lost work after coming out as a Trump supporter.
From Raw Story:
In yet another fascinating conversation with supporters of President Donald Trump, CNN revealed that his support even among his own voters is slipping quickly. Other ardent supporters, however, are still managing to hang on, loving each of his antics the others disavowed. James Davis, a female impersonator in Florida, said that after coming out as a Trump supporter he was "black-balled" from performing.
H/T: Joe My God
Poor Elaine.... she hasn't just lost work because of her vote. She's lost work because she's vile when she's drunk and she's a racist bitch. Telling an African American patron in a bar they had no restroom there for them and telling them to go out into the alley to piss? She's a bitch and she deserves every fucking bit of shit that's coming back to her. You reap what you sow, Republicunt!
We've seen her several times on our trips to South Beach. Each time she looks more weathered and gin-soaked. Each time in tattered drag with a nipple hanging out, a wig hanging off, or speaking with slurred speech as if she's either ready for Betty Ford or a stroke rehabilitation center. Each time she's been loud and obnoxious, and I'm referring to her drag style. Her personality is worse.
I met Elaine back in the late 90's and she couldn't and can't be more pleasant. The amount of hate from a so called supportive group is what's wrong with this country. She'll be fine at hetrosexual gigs where evidently they pay more so all you buttthurtt lifeless STD, EBT/Social Security Traps should be grateful your gutts are full. I can't wait for you all entitled worthless eaters to be bunched up in FEMA Camps. For the record if you morons would get a clue IT DOESN'T MATTER WHO WE VOTE FOR BECAUSE OUR SO CALLED PRESIDENTS ARE MERELY PUPPETS FOR THE PUPPETEERS LIKE THE ROTHCHILDS AND OTHERS WHO OWN US, so please have more booze and spend your money on BS crap while she is trying to make nice with our current puppet.
"Supportive group"? Who said gays had to be any more "supportive" to backstabbing traitors than straights? And if there are "heterosexuals" who want to book this has-been drag queen, let them! Outside of Vegas I don't know of any "heterosexual" bars or clubs hiring old drag queens. Hey, maybe you should get her a job? Spend your own money! You're so rich that it only can you insult every person who receives public assistance (including all those white republicans) that you should hire her to perform yourself. Go for it. Be a "supporter". Until then, STFU!
She was blackLISTED (though, I heard she likes being blackBALLED). You don't get to vote for the person who wants to dismantle your very rights and freedoms (directly or indirectly) and think you can still work in the gay establishments his groups want to eradicate. We do not support a fame hungry, racist, drug addicted traitor.
The only reason she's republican is because her under-stall work with the wealthier individuals paid for that face, and opened doors that would've normally been slammed on her. She wouldn't be anywhere without Republican "My Wife Is Out Of Town" Money.
Ok this is Elaine Lancaster. I'm at the bar TWIST SOBE and bartender comes to me to ask what I wanted Elaine literally pushed out the way I said excuse me but I'm ordering she says and your nobody I said really I snatched her wig off and said and your bald. (Mind you I just moved to Florida from CT) Got my drink and told her if you ever... she stops me mid sentence by saying oohh I like you and I said but I don't like you! Tells you who she thinks she is so plenty in common with the Dumpster himself full on Sh!!+!€ trash!
I support Elaine's right to vote for whoever she wants, & her right to talk about it wherever she wants, but I never have pay money to see her perform, and I never have to spend money at any bar or club that would hire her. Her free speech rights do not require me to sign on to her opinion, or spend my hard earned money to keep her in wigs and evening gowns. Conservatives are always crowing about the power of free markets and Elaine Lancaster is learning first hand that if you use your vote and speech rights to screw over your customers they'll use the free market to refuse your services.
So in other words, she says she supports somebody who stated he would appoint judged
to harm the people the bars she woke in cater to. Why are you wording the headline as if it's a simple difference of opinion? Trump stated he would appoint Judges to undue marriage and other lgbt rights. He stated he would harm lgbt civil rights. She supports that. A club cannot stay in business hiring people who publicly support those who want to harm their customers.
Well, I don't know about his work ethic, but he's a Trump supporter and that's A-OK by me. All you Obama snowflakes throw out that Trump supporters are what you actually are! The left just wants your votes, Trump's been around gay people for a long time, he knows there's nothing in the world wrong with them. Can't you see that? The gays, the Mexicans or illegals, the blacks...all they want is their vote and to keep them down - they don't give two shits about them in reality!
And yet he supports them and ANY minority Ssssooooo much he chose NOT to re-enact the law that provides protection from companies that like to discriminate! If he supported minorities as he claimed, he would've re-enacted this law no question as it only hurt companies that were discriminating as only they couldn't prove they weren't discriminating against: the disabled, LGBTQ, people of different racial backgrounds, Vets, etc etc. So, to use your claim that he "supports" the LGBTQ community.... why is he choosing not to support a law that helps support not only the LGBTQ community, but all minirities? Hmmmm sound like the complete opposite to me. I want to here the Trump supporter twisted rationalization on this though, so please, try to defend. Cause this is a point blank, black-and-white, clear as day, Trump choosing NOT to support minorities.
Yea, he just doesn't reenact laws that protect ANY minirity, disabled, LGBTQ, race, vet status etc on a Federal LEVEL. The law that required companies prove the weren't discriminatory towards ANY minority was NOT re-enacted complements the Chump. So you say, oh he likes minorities. Well, then you would have re-instated this law. Why? Because the ONLY companies this law hurt were the ones BEING DISCRIMINATORY!
If Trump is such a big supporter of the LGBTQ commUNITY then why on day one of his administration he remove the LGBT content from www.whitehouse.gov ???
Get your truth challenged self to a library and read. You have been read. Trump is an enemy of civil liberties. Stop being a fool and see this disaster of an administration for what it is con game run on the poorly educated and deep red voters at the expense of the moderates and middle and working class.
OMG he is delusional and just says the standard line. All this great economy, gas, jobs etc are because of Obama, not Trump.
I love that they are torn, but would vote for him anyway. That is why America is in the position it is. Hey abuse me and use me, but I still support you is messed up.

We were raised in families with strong connections to the land and nature and resolute expectations that we would be good environmental stewards. Over the years we've tried to responsibly manage the natural resources of our property along the Okatie River and since May we've had visits from a pair of beautiful river otters on four separate evenings.
Although the S.C. Department of Natural Resources reports that river otters should be commonly found along the waterways of the Lower Coastal Plain, these semi-aquatic mammals are now a threatened species because of pesticide poisoning, waterway pollution, habitat loss caused by destruction of wetlands and riverside buffers, and illegal harvesting.
Because of their dietary requirements of abundant supplies of fish, frogs, crabs and aquatic plants and their habitat needs of access to reliable levels of minimally polluted water and sufficiently vegetated river banks or old tree hollows near water's edge to support a burrow in which to den, river otters are considered an indicator species whose presence or absence reflects the overall health of an entire estuary ecosystem.
According to friends who remember times past when river otters were plentiful around here, otters breed in the late winter to early spring and after 60 days of active gestation give birth to litters of one to five young ones which are called pups. Although otter pairs are thought to be monogamous, males usually don't help raise their young so family units of mother and pups will stay together until another litter is born. Otters are highly mobile and reportedly are able to cover as much as 20 miles of their home territory in a single day. These are social animals and they communicate with others using a variety of vocalizations that range from quiet chirps to almost shrill whistles or by leaving scent markings and dropping spraint.
River otters are omnivorous foragers who do not store food so they kill only what they can consume at that meal. Because they are crepuscular the best chances to see otters happen around dawn or dusk and our two have always stopped by in the early evenings.
During their usual half hour stays on our pool's coping, we've had wonderful opportunity to observe how perfectly constructed and adapted they are for living both in water and on land. Their coat has two layers of specialized fur: A short dense oily under fur layer which traps air for insulation and warmth and long glistening guard hairs on the outer fur which are water repellent.
Because they've few fat stores, proper coat conditioning is essential and their flexible spines allow river otters to groom their skin oil evenly on all body areas. Their vertebral design, just like a cheetah's, allows for undulation on a vertical axis that results in fast motion. Sleek smooth long tubular body shapes allow for quick turns and efficient movements when hunting prey. Muscular, flat-bottomed tails about one-third the length of their bodies help with propulsion and steering in the water and balance when standing on the hinds legs while on land.
Furred webbed feet help otters swim as fast as 5 to 7 mph because the webbing allows them to push a large volume of water behind them with sufficient force to lift their bodies higher above the water line. Their acute senses of hearing and smell help alert them to danger and location of food while on land while their nearsightedness helps them see better under water. According to a wildlife biologist friend, within otters' nostrils and ears are specialized skin valves which protectively close during submersion where otters have been known to hold their breath for as long as 4 minutes. And, finally, otters have several types of whiskers on their head all of which are sensitive to touch and movement of air but the exceptionally thick, stiff long whiskers on their cheeks probably are used to locate prey.
Our two river otters often will have a small drink of water before starting grooming activities that require considerable time. The bond between them is palpable and among ways they show their great affection is by the rubbing of heads and lying closely together. Few animal behaviors are more fascinating to us than the exuberant play of these animals. The pup will suddenly romp through our riparian buffer, then crouch low and then pop his head up to initiate a game of peek-a-boo or he'll toss a small stick up in the air, watch it fall and then bound over and retrieve it. Wrestling is also a popular sports entertainment and it's usually accompanied by yelps and grunts. Purposeful play to hone predator skills is how we'd explain these activities but when they leave our yard to return to the Okatie River by taking a running start to sliding down our vegetated riverbank it seems as if they're doing it just for sheer fun.
All of our collective efforts to clean, restore and protect our rivers benefit our wildlife as well as our communities and hopefully one day river otters will once again be plentiful.

There's been a notable growth of interest in First World War Genealogy in recent years. I think there are probably two reasons for this – programmes such as Who Do You Think You Are, and the prominence that they give to military history; and also the recent passing of the last veterans of the Western Front. Therefore this book by Paul Reed is most timely.
Many military genealogy books seem to follow a structured but disjointed route – this is how you do this, this is where you go to do this, etc etc. and by the way, you can find this out from here because etc etc. But here Paul Reed has followed a different model, by purely writing about 12 individuals, and THEN explaining HOW he found out about them. I think this approach works, as the reader can become fully immersed in the story without being interrupted with details of musems, archives and suchlike. I think its a much easier approach for the layman in particular.
Reed has chosen a broad but well-balanced range of individuals to write about. We find out about a Field Artillery subaltern who was killed in action but whose body was brought home to England; the village of Wadhurst (a timely counter to the perception that all Pals units came from 'oop north'); The Royal Naval Division at Gallipoli; A Greek man on the Western Front; A Tunneller VC winner; A man who died in a base hospital; A Vicar's son who fought in three theatres; A Royal Marine at Passchendaele; A 'Great War Guinea Pig'; An Officer who was dismssed from the Army for striking a French woman, but then re-enlisted as a Private; A Black Flying Corps Pilot and a little-known War Poet.
Plenty to get stuck into, and plenty to inspire too. I've found it useful and inspiring for my own Portsmouth WW1 Dead research.

Unheated porch
Author: Keith LEE
Date: 9/19/2008 5:34 pm EDT
Can I install Avaire tile in an unheated porch? I would install heated underlayment, but it would not be on all of the time. Here in Wisconsin the temperatures can drop below -30 on occasions, and stay below 0 for weeks at a time. What is the lowest temp room that this floor and be installed?
Thanks in advance.

I was told that it would work outside on my unheated porch here in MN. I am worried that it will hold up. I've already installed the tile without heating pad.
My fingers are crossed and I'm really hoping that I wasn't lied to - I did see warning in the instructions not to use it below 32 degrees.
Author: Jonathan
Date: 9/27/2008 10:52 am EDT
Our warranty and instructions require Avaire tile to be installed in indoor areas where the temperature does not fall below freezing. However, we have recently completed a round of intensive testing where we exposed Avaire test floors to extreme temperature cycling (-12F to +85F), as well as prolonged exposure to -12F. We have also had a number of test "3 season porch" installed for nearly two years. So far, we have not seen evidence of problems as a result of low temperature exposure.
While we don't anticipate any issues with exposure to low temperatures (each component is engineered to handle low temps), we would like to collect additional lab and field data before we give the "all clear" for outdoor applications. We also need to develop more specific guidelines for what constitutes a suitable outdoor application: For example, someone might want install Avaire tile on an outdoor patio in northern MN which is submerged in ice/snow for 4-5 months per year.
For those who want to try a covered/protected porch application, you definitely want to install the product while the weather is warm - the grout should be cured for 7 days before being exposed to freezing temperatures (again, based on our current instructions and warranty, Avaire tile should officially be used only in indoor applications where the temps are controlled).
Is your porch protected from rain and snow? While neither would necessarily damage Avaire tile, you want to make sure moisture doesn't get between the tile and the subfloor as you could develop mold/mildew issues (as you could with any other flooring surface).
Again, I do not anticipate any problems with your application. Please let me know if you observe any issues by sending me email at email@example.com.
Thank you for buying Avaire tile!

Apax Partners Completes Takeover of rue21
By Ryan Dezember
Private equity firm Apax Partners said Thursday that it completed its takeover of teen-fashion retailer rue21, capping a rocky beginning for a deal that has already cost a trio of big banks about $100 million.
Apax agreed in May to buy publicly traded rue21 for $42 a share, or a total of about $1.1 billion. To fund the deal, J.P. Morgan Chase & Co., Bank of America and Goldman Sachs Group agreed to provide about $780 million of debt to pair with $283 million in cash U.K.-based Apax put toward the buyout.
Between the time the deal was agreed upon and the debt was pitched to investors, rue21 saw a steep decline in its results, which appeared to scare off would-be investors.
The banks tried unsuccessfully to sell about $530 million of loans in August and launched another push to sell them late last month at a steep discount, the Wall Street Journal reported at the time. The banks eventually sold $538.5 million of loans at 81.5 cents on the dollar, according to people familiar with the matter.
That discount equates to a loss for the banks of about $100 million. Investors who bought the discounted loans have fared better than the banks, as the paper has already traded up to about 85 cents in the secondary market, according to a person familiar with the matter. The remaining debt financing consists of a bridge loan the banks will eventually seek to replace by selling bonds.
It's unclear exactly how the loss will be divvied up among the banks, though a securities filing says that J.P. Morgan and Bank of America each committed to providing 45% of the deal's total debt, while Goldman is on the hook for 10%.
It's unusual these days for a leveraged buyout to find such a chilly reception among credit investors, who've flocked to such deals lately, as less risky investments, such as sovereign and investment-grade corporate debt, offer historically low returns
Based in Warrendale, Pa., rue21 has been undergoing a period of rapid expansion, opening about 125 stores in the past year. Those new stores helped net sales rise to $229.3 million during the fiscal quarter ended Aug. 3 from $202 million for the comparable period a year earlier. But income from operations fell to $1.7 million, from $13.7 million, as its costs rose even faster and profit margins shrank.
Same-store sales fell 5.9% in the period, a slide that followed a 4.6% year-on-year decline for the period that ended May 4. And in late September, the company told investors that the "soft sales pattern seen in fiscal August is continuing," with same-store sales down 9.5% through Sept. 24.

ATLANTA (Feb. 1, 2012) – After a tough opening weekend in Lexington, Ky., the No. 58 ETSU men's tennis team continues its stretch of five-consecutive ranked opponents to start the season, as it travels the Peachtree Tennis Center in Atlanta to take on No. 69 Georgia State on Thursday at 1 p.m.
ETSU (0-2) opened its season as part of the ITA Kickoff Weekend, playing for a spot in the Round of 16 at the 2012 National Team Indoor Championships. The Bucs stumbled in their Friday match, falling 4-1 to No. 22 Tulsa, and found no luck in Saturday's consolation with a 4-0 defeat at the hands of No. 57 NC State. Sophomore Jeremy Bonnevalle (Keerbergen. Belgium) walked away with ETSU's only victory of the weekend, defeating Tulsa's Lucian Gheorghe 6-2, 6-4 in Friday's opener.
The Bucs have now started 0-2 in each of the last three seasons, but have gone on to win the Atlantic Sun Tournament at the conclusion of each year.
Georgia State (3-1) began its season nearly two weeks ago, defeating both Lipscomb and Old Dominion by a score of 6-1. Last weekend, the Panthers traveled to Columbia S.C. and defeated Elon 6-1, but were handed their first loss of the season on Sunday with a 6-1 defeat to South Carolina.

West Brom boss Steve Clarke rejects Shane Long Liverpool link
West Brom boss Steve Clarke has denied suggestions striker Shane Long may join Liverpool in the January transfer window.
Last Updated: 04/12/12 7:28pm
The Republic of Ireland international has scored seven goals in 16 appearances for the Baggies this season, leading to speculation he may become a transfer target.
But Clarke insists there is no truth in the rumours linking him with Liverpool, despite a lack of firepower in Brendan Rodgers' side.
"Liverpool need a striker, Shane is playing well, so a lazy journalist puts it together and makes a story out of it," Clarke told the Birmingham Mail.
"Shane is not for sale. And I'd be very surprised if Brendan Rodgers wanted to take Shane anyway.
"People are merely looking at connections and making stories out of it."
Meanwhile, Clarke also confirmed goalkeeper Ben Foster is recovering well following his groin operation, although a sickness bug is causing him problems.
Yassine El Ghanassy was forced to sit out West Brom U21s victory over Bolton while a number of other first team players have also been struck down.
"Yassine is sick, we've had a sickness virus at the club," added Clarke.
"Boaz Myhill was also sick last week. He didn't travel with us to Swansea. He actually came down on the day of the game.
"Billy Jones was also sick overnight on Friday - he wasn't even in the stadium - and now Yassine is unwell. Ben is improving (from his operation) which is good news for us. We will see how he gets on."

In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is a medical procedure where a woman's eggs are removed from her ovaries and fertilized in a lab with sperm from her husband, partner or a selected donor. The embryos created from the fertilization are returned to her uterus, or the uterus of a surrogate mother, in hopes of creating a pregnancy. The success rate for this procedure for a woman of 35-years-old is between 30-35% assuming that the eggs are fertilized. If the sperm provider suffers from infertility issues such as low sperm motility or movement, then intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) may be necessary. ICSI is a delicate procedure requiring the lab technician to inject a single sperm into the egg, and is performed at an additional cost.
The cost of IVF varies across Canada, but in Ontario a couple can expect to pay;
Between $4,500 – $7,000 per cycle, $6,000 – $8,150 if ICSI is required and between $2,000 – $7,000 for medication. Additional costs may include fees for initial consultations and/or registration with the fertility clinic, other recommended services and procedures such as assisted embryo hatching, legal fees for egg, sperm or embryo donor contracts and surrogacy contacts, and other miscellaneous expenses such as travel costs and lodging as needed.
As the model currently exists, IVF is not affordable for everyone.
My good friend Moses and his wife have two wonderful children conceived through IVF. He described the journey towards becoming a family as stressful, confusing and frustrating at times. Throughout the process, Moses became a cofacilitator at an infertility support group and he helped encourage men to take an active role in the support group. He says it's very important that both members of an infertile couple understand it's okay to be unsure of what will happen down the road.
Moses also explained that when facing infertility and uncertainty it is very common that both husband and wife feel puzzled. Getting past the misconception that infertility is primarily a female problem and that separate or together, there should not be any embarrassment that they are unable to conceive. There is a ton of information available on websites, but the most meaningful information comes through discussions with couples who have experienced, or are experiencing the same issues.
In a previous post, I highlighted how many couples who are unable to conceive first begin to investigate the issue with their doctors and with specialists well before sharing the results with family and friends. As a result, they endure the frustration of having to answer as to why there do not have children yet, or when they do inform family of their fertility issues, they have to sit through uninformed, yet supportive, comments such as; "it's going to be all right", or "relax, and it will all work out". Without having time to learn about infertility and IVF those are the most supportive comments many parents and close friends can come up with.
In Moses' case, he realized there was a plethora of information available online, but having to sort through and decide what was reputable, and applicable to their specific situation was difficult and more specifically, he found that there was very little information available to assist men in dealing with infertility and even less geared towards men surrounding IVF.
Once Moses and his wife found a support group through their hospital, Moses noted what that some couples were very open and engaging, while others preferred to just sit back and listen. He noted that the men, unless directly engaged, tended to observe more than participate and being the kind of person he is, Moses spoke up during these sessions – asking questions, stating facts and citing sources – which provided a forum for other men in the group to participate more actively.
As a result, Moses was asked to co-facilitate some of these support groups and provide the male perspective in order to assist men in the group to understand what they were feeling and that it was okay to be unsure of what would happen down the road or that their spouses were also puzzled, confused, frustrated, angry, and sad and it was okay if they were too. I learned that the average number of years that couples are full of stress, blame, resentment and self-doubt is 2.4.
I also learned from Moses that during this period of time in which the woman has to come to grips with the fact that she may not be able to conceive a baby. The father needs to play a huge part in this life-altering realization beginning with listening and ending with supporting.
Here are the 4 key pillars of support men need to offer during infertility, according to Moses:
1. Listen – with your eyes and ears. Don't wait for your wife to come to you to talk. Sense when she needs your support, whether it's just to have you listen or for her to vent at. You know she's have a really tough time and it's the time you need to be hyper aware of her needs. By failing to step up at this point could cause irreparable damage to the relationship which she may never get over.
2. Acknowledge that you are not able to sort through this by yourself. As men, we have this tendency to try to solve problems regardless of whether there is a solution available or if our opinions are needed at that moment. But there is not a solution available and with infertility being the serious problem that it is – tensions are already high – and our offer of a solution is not helpful. Instead, we need to seek the help of professionals who deal with infertility and who have first-hand experience with the next steps and we need to speak with them, with others in the same situations and with organizations who are there to assist, in order to make sure that we can learn, educate ourselves and support our wives.
3. Seek out opportunities to speak with like-minded people. Briefly touched on in the previous point, you cannot underestimate the importance of speaking with like-minded people who have either gone through this with success or who have not had success as it provides a window into where your mindset could be in six-months, a year, or two-years. In addition, these couples may have tried something different or picked up a trick or technique which might be beneficial down the road or at the very worst case, these couples may be able to offer up support or hope which can help you down the road as the going gets tough.
4. Educate yourself – this is huge – give yourself power. As in every situation, motivated people do their homework and continue to keep up the pace on the current goings-on in every facet of their lives. In the workplace, they continue to educate themselves because they want to learn more, know more and get a higher degree which can help them get a better position and in life, people who want to stay healthy stay up-to-date on the latest trends and reports. Researching and learning about infertility, treatments, IVF, risks and rewards helps prepare couples for the decisions they have to make and what their future will look like.
It makes sense that couples who want families so bad that they are willing to give up their bodies and their life savings remain on top of the latest trends in treatment of infertility, drugs, and the side-effects on the woman and the potential babies and on IVF and risks, rewards and expected length of time.
When asked whether or not he felt that each province should cover the cost of IVF treatments in order to reduce the cost to taxpayers of multiple births, Moses adamantly responded that "YES!" Not only does the funding of IVF reduce the costs to taxpayers but it also helps couples who want children more than anything else in the world not have to lose everything in order to have them. Having to pay for multiple treatments, without any government intervention, made it perfectly clear to Moses that IVF is not available to everyone and it should be.
In this day and age where society worries about the breakdown in the family unit, it is refreshing to see couples who are trying their hardest to become families knowing the importance of this family unit to them and that their child(ren) would be supported and nurtured through thick and thin.
It makes sense to fund IVF in order to keep premature babies and mommies out of the hospital and keep that costs off the taxpayer. It also makes sense to help couples who want children more than anything else in the world, try to realize that dream.
Please follow @OHIP4IVF on Twitter or the hashtag #OHIP4IVF to support government funding for IVF. Help other couples become parents, without the financial burden that comes with infertility.*I am sharing my story as a member of the Conceivable Dreams blog team, and have been compensated for this post.

Just wanted to let everyone know, as of today we are now advertising SA on the Pittsburgh Tribune Review and Trib Live Radio. I've been working on this for quite awhile now and it's finally come together. Our ads both images and radio spots will be in the daily rotation in the Trib's sports section as well as on their Radio show, weekdays from 9am-5pm, EST.
We will do this periodically during the 2011 NFL Season. The Trib is a great resource for Steelers news and their insider reports from guys like Scott Brown, Ken Laird, Mark Kaboly, Dejan Kovacevic, and others always great reads.
This is a great partnership that I'm really excited about for SA in our efforts to continue to spread the word about the best Steelers fan site on the web!!!
Listen every Monday at 3pm EST as either myself or Steeldad will be doing a show with the afternoon hosts, usually Mike Grau, to talk Steelers football.

Sarah Smith was a young woman when she married Martin Smith, a widower aged about 42. He brought her to Deerfield, Massachusetts, in 1693 where he had lived since 1674. In October of 1693 he was seized by Native Americans, tribe unknown and taken to Canada. His wife continued living in the south part of the town, an area known as Wapping. The Native American raids meant that a permanent guard was appointed. On the night of July 31, 1694 John Evans, a longtime resident of the town, forty years old and married, stopped by Sarah's home on his way home from his watch duty. There he raped her; it was only stopped when the guards who had relieved him came to investigate the disturbance. Five days later she swore a charge against Evans. Oddly, given that this was a Puritan community, Evans was never arrested or excommunicated. But Evans had a wife and children to support and they would have become wards of the town if he had been publicly disgraced. Sarah eventually moved into a nearby home with another couple. Three years later she became involved with one of the soldiers, became pregnant and bore the child in secret. The child died and she was convicted and hung for its murder. The Rev. John Williams, the town leader, preached a famous sermon about her just before her execution.

(Reuters) - New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton, who was suspended for a season for his part in a pay-for-pain bounty scandal, has been reinstated, the National Football League said on Tuesday.
"We had a very productive discussion," NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said in a statement. "Sean fully complied with all the requirements imposed on him during his suspension.
"More important, it is clear that Sean understands and accepts his responsibilities as a head coach and the vital role that coaches play in promoting player safety and setting an example for how the game should be played at all levels.
"We are committed to delivering football that fans love and the safety players deserve. Coach Payton agrees and I look forward to working with him going forward to do that."
Payton can resume his coaching duties immediately, although the Saints have finished for this season, which ends with the Super Bowl, in New Orleans on February 3
Goodell and Payton held a meeting on Monday at which time the Saints coach acknowledged his responsibility for the actions of his coaching staff and players.
Payton's reinstatement closes one chapter in the ugly scandal that hung over the Saints the entire season.
During Payton's absence, the Saints went from a 13-3 team that won the NFC South division title to a 7-9 team that missed the playoffs altogether.
Payton, along with members of his coaching staff, general manager Mickey Loomis and several players were handed varying suspensions for their roles in the team's bounty scheme that saw players given cash rewards for injuring and knocking opponents out of games from 2009-2011.
"I am thankful today commissioner Goodell has granted me reinstatement," Payton said in a statement released by the Saints.
"As I stated back in March, 'I, along with Mickey Loomis, take full responsibility for all aspects of our football program.'
"I clearly recognize that mistakes were made, which led to league violations. Furthermore, I have assured the commissioner a more diligent protocol will be followed.
"I am excited to be back as head coach of the New Orleans Saints!"
A former Super Bowl-winning coach, Payton signed a five-year contract extension last month that will run through the 2017 season.

What part of your game are you looking to improve? I may be able to help you.
What courses do you live close to?
Cool. I work up near Rosedale and play it after work quite often, though usually at 330 or 4. Here's a tip I wish I would've had when I started: Throw a Roc, throw it often, and learn to control it. Many modern drivers mask throwing errors which impedes your ability to associate particular actions with specific results. If the disc you're throwing exposes your mistakes you are more likely to learn from them and to get better faster.

Nelson Comerer has in his store a piece of wooden pump stock taken from the well of F. McN. Johnston at Workington Farms. The well is 23-feet deep in solid limestone rock. The pump stock was in two sections, split 4 or 5 feet below the surface. The lower portion, which stood in the water, is 24 inches in circumference and perfectly sound. The upper section, 1-foot square, stood 5 feet above the platform, and has decayed. The iron handle is 3 and 2/3 feet long. Mr. Johnston had the pump put in about 1883 by a mechanic from Path Valley. He went to the woods, cut the pine, bore a large hole in each section, spliced them together, inserted an iron rod with a sucker at the bottom and hooked in the handle at the top.

Don't let sticker shock get in the way of your chance to study abroad. With financial aid, good budgeting and a little saving, study abroad can be very affordable. In addition, the returns on your investment — academic learning in an intercultural environment, broadened horizons and new cross-cultural skills — will prove invaluable for decades to come.
The type of program you select will affect your financial aid package. It is very important to meet with a financial aid counselor before studying abroad so you are aware of the financial impact of your decision.
Each program's info page lists the program type indicating financial aid availability. To search the program list by financial aid availability, log in to the Study Abroad System and click on "Advanced Search" to search by program type.
Marquette Programs
Marquette scholarships, federal and state financial aid apply
External Approved Programs
Only federal and state financial aid apply
Other Non-Marquette Programs
Only federal and state financial aid apply
Additional paperwork required; see the Petition Policy for Study Abroad through Non-Marquette Programs for more information
If you are a full-time Marquette student planning to study abroad through a Marquette or external approved program, the financial aid application procedure is the same as if you were studying on campus.
However, it is particularly important that you complete your financial aid application early so funds will be available to you before you go abroad. The amount and type of aid will vary depending on the program type and your individual aid package.
If you are a Marquette student participating in the dependent tuition remission program, please review the policy on tuition remission for study abroad to understand how it applies to study abroad.
Before You Leave
While You're Away
While studying abroad, make sure you have someone maintain your financial aid records. If you are away during spring semester and plan to return to school in the upcoming academic year, you must make arrangements to have someone file your financial aid application for the next academic year. The form should be filed in January for priority consideration. This person will also potentially need to provide additional paperwork in your absence (e.g., federal tax returns).
Dropping below full-time status or completely withdrawing from your program will have an adverse effect on your financial aid package. Therefore, if your enrollment status changes, notify the Office of Student Financial Aid immediately.
The Office of Student Financial Aid can help you understand the impact studying abroad will have on your aid package and verify that you have done everything you need to have your aid reinstated upon your return to Marquette. Any questions about financial aid can be referred to:

Your Global Resource
Catalyst seeks a world that supports and encourages every woman in her career aspirations and places no limits on where her skills and energy can take her. This is our vision and goal. And it knows no numeric, stereotypic—or geographic—boundaries. Yet, we are mindful of cultural sensibilities.
Definitions of gender and inclusion must be interwoven with issues of regional and global diversity that include race and ethnicity, cultural norms, religion, sexual orientation, and more. That's why, at Catalyst, we combine global reach with regional relevance.
Through our research and Consulting Services, we see opportunities to provide cross-cultural and region-specific insights to our member organizations, which often operate around the world, and to the women they employ or will employ. And as the economy grows more global in scope, so does Catalyst's membership, research, consulting services, and on-the-ground operations, with offices now in the United States, Canada, Europe, India, Australia, and Japan, and partnerships in many other parts of the world.
We invite you to explore the intersections of business and women through our regional lens. As the extraordinary challenges of the global marketplace impact our mission and expand our reach, we believe that successful companies will be those that enable the full potential of women—no matter where on the globe they are located—and value their many talents and contributions.

Queues/Topics are known as administered objects and in jboss they can be deployed through ServiceDotXml files. Let's name our file, myapp-destination-service.xml. The contents of the file should look like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!--My queue, named: myAppQueue -->
<mbean code="org.jboss.mq.server.jmx.Queue"
<depends optional-attribute-name="DestinationManager">jboss.mq:service=DestinationManager</depends>
<!-- My topic, named: myAppTopic -->
<mbean code="org.jboss.mq.server.jmx.Topic"
<depends optional-attribute-name="DestinationManager">jboss.mq:service=DestinationManager</depends>
Place this file in your %JBOSS_HOME%/server/default/deploy directory and start the server.
(Note: If you are using the 'all' configuration or the 'minimal' configuration then you will have to place this file in the %JBOSS_HOME%/server/all/deploy or %JBOSS_HOME%/server/minimal/deploy directory, as appropriate).
The above queue/topic will be bound to the jndi name: queue/myAppQueue and topic/myAppTopic respectively.
1) The above file is meant for JBoss-3.2.3. Though there might be slight changes to later versions of JBoss, the basic configuration mechanism remains the same.
2) JBoss also comes with preconfigured queues/topics. These configurations can be found in the jbossmq-destinations-service.xml file which is present in %JBOSS_HOME%/server/default/deploy/jms directory
For JBoss AS 6.x see this FAQ for more details on how to configure JMS queue/topics

As the gravcar hurtled through the streets of the Andromeda City, Ral struggled to keep his grip on the seat—a task made much more difficult by the fact that the vehicle was turning so sharply that it was riding sideways along the wall. Of course, as tall and cluttered as the city was with bridges and stairways, it was a wonder people still knew what a street technically was. The normally vivid lights that covered practically every facet of the city passed him by so quickly that they blended into what he could only describe as a vomit-like blur of color. But he merely grinned, perhaps a side effect of the adrenaline that pumped through his veins or perhaps just because he was half-mad. His driver was a lot more focused, and that was just as well since she was guiding vehicle at shy of 200 kilometers an hour.
Then there was the accompanying party behind them. Ral wasn't sure what they were supposed to be celebrating, but whatever the case they seemed to think that the best way to do so was to fire off a three-gun salute.
Aimed at him.
With automatic weapons.
But that was no biggie: he was a master level controller, and this was nothing but a warm-up for him.
"Aym, think you can level us out? It'll make my job a little easier!" He was shouting because anything less was garbled by the rush of the cold night air.
He knew she hated or him to abbreviate her name like that, and her agitation showed. "Easy for you to say! You're not the one dodging bullets!"
"Well, my friend, That's the thing I'm telling you!" Stop dodging bullets and let me deal with the seat of the problem!"
"Screw you, Ral! The last time I nearly got a bullet in my shoulder!"
He snapped in reply, "Well you didn't, and you won't now!"
"We've been teamed on various occasions over the past three years and I trust you less now than I did then! No, I know damned well that you don't need my help to use your skills, so stop bitching and get these guys off of me!"
"Us," he corrected.
"I'll die before I compare myself to you! NOW DO SOMETHING, DAMMIT!"
He held his hands up, although "up" no longer was itself, and then waved at the pursuers as if parting a curtain. Tiny metallic objects began to appear in front of him, although the truth of the matter was that they were just moving too fast to be seen until he stopped them. Three seconds was his limit, but that was a monumental feat already and more than enough to do what he needed to do.
He clenched his fists, and the wall of bullets which hovered in front of him suddenly vanished again. Sparks glittered from the underside of the following cars as lead slammed into their engines. One exploded, and another carried its dead driver and less fortunate passenger into a nearby wall. That left one, who wisely backed off. Amy was probably responsible for another car or two, well before. But that made five, which meant that Lehoux was ramping up his efforts.
"Good enough?"
"Yes, and it only took you ten minutes to expend five seconds of effort!"
Amy was his favorite other controller to work with because she was so uptight and was so easy to drive mad. When they'd first met, he'd learned that she was a little upset when people called her Aym instead of Amy, because she was very fond of her name and found it a little offensive that people would go out of their way to shorten it as was custom in Andromeda City. They'd clashed from day one (really, more of her clashing against him than the other way around). Since he always got the job done, it was all just a game to him. So with a short laugh, he went on, "Please, don't flatter me so much. You know that even I can't do it for that long. I'm glad you think the world of me, though."
She slammed on the accelerator and hit what was practically a ninety-degree turn, again nearly flinging him from his seat. He was used to it by now…somewhat. But despite himself, he silently acknowledged that while no one was as good a controller as him, she was a damned good driver. And now that Lehoux's men were dead or gone, they could slow down and relax, at least to where they didn't have to shout at each other.
"So, Ral. Did you at least get the drive?"
"What do you take me for? I always get the job done."
"Of course you do. So let me see the blasted thing."
"Impatient, aren't you? I wasn't aware you wanted me that badly."
Disgusted, she sputtered, "Wh-what are you talking about?"
He grinned and unzipped his jacket, pulling out a small metal object which constituted a hard drive. The data contained within was what they wanted, of course. "Where else would I have hidden it?"
She groaned and turned to the navigation system which, in her eyes, was far more sufferable a companion. Ral decided to give it a rest and plopped into the passenger seat. He started to think on about the job, to satisfy a faint nagging at the back of his mind that something was wrong. He'd taken a job to get data from one businessman and into the hands of another. Nothing out of the ordinary. Naturally, it was a lot more difficult what with Nelson Lehoux cracking down on the city's population of controllers who weren't under his thumb or otherwise harmless and powerless, but that was just a new addition to the job. So what was different this time?
Just a harmless metal box full of electronic data, right?
It had been far too easy. And something told him that it was all a trap.
Immediately, he started ripping at the drive, trying to look inside. Amy seemed oblivious to his panic, as all she saw was a strange, twenty-eight year old man trying to destroy what she'd worked hard to safely recover and transport. That also constituted ripping up her paycheck.
"What are you doing?" she screamed at him.
He paid her no mind. If his gut was right (and it often was), the whole thing had been a setup from the start. But it was no use, because the screws were not only smaller than his fingernails would fit, but also because they had been welded in place. That was also a sign that something was wrong, as far as he was concerned. But there was no communicating that in a fast moving car with an irate and now thoroughly flabbergasted driver while holding a stolen portable hard drive, when he didn't even know had been done to it.
He should have just copied the data. But that wasn't quick enough for him though, was it? Why take the safe route when he could take the easy route?
Amy was now trying to get the data, sensing an immediate loss in pay. She already hated working with him (which was partially his fault, he admitted in retrospect), and when he was taking away the only reason she ever still bothered…well, what would anyone do, really? And as she reached for him, she accidentally tilted the car, which was very hard for her to do. In that moment of utter confusion, Ral's past choices compounded on his present panic, and he stopped drawing himself to the car with his "all-powerful" psychic energy. This caused him to slip from it altogether and hurtle through the air away from his now ex-partner's grasping hands and through the city, hard drive still clutched in one of his hands. It looked like he was about to die. Was that so bad? He wondered.
Then he wondered what the hell he had just been thinking, as he put his hands in front of him and focused on slowing his descent. He was about to crash into the rooftop of a restaurant, littered with outdoor tables. Controller or not, this was going to hurt. The only thing he could change was how much. If he forced himself to put out a hundred and ten percent, it'd be like falling six meters and scraping up his body. If he did nothing, he'd be dead. He concentrated with all his might, and braced himself for impact.
Boy, he was going to be bruised later. But mostly, he regretted breaking his arm. At the same time, although he wouldn't know until much later, his pain caused him to let out an electrical impulse which disabled the hard drive altogether. And likewise, it would not be until much later that he would find out the hard drive was actually not a data storage unit at all, but rather a bomb.
But that was all a moot point at the moment, as he took one look at the thing, and passed out in pain, unaware of a solitary table of stunned onlookers who eventually called for an ambulance.

Te Aroha, town, northern North Island, New Zealand, on the Waihou (Thames) River.
The settlement, established in 1880 as a river port for a new gold find, was known as Aroha Gold Field Town, Morgantown, and Aroha. It derives its present name from that of a nearby extinct volcano rising 3,126 feet (953 metres) in the Coromandel Range; the term means "the loved one" and refers to an ancient Maori legend. Te Aroha was constituted a town district in 1886.
It is linked to Auckland (115 miles [185 km] northwest) by road and rail via Hamilton and is the business centre of the Waihou-Piako basin, a dairying district. The town has joinery, bacon, concrete products, clothing, leather preparation, and engineering works; there are also sawmills and agricultural storage facilities. Mineral springs have made it a popular health resort. Pop. (2006) 3,768; (2012 est.) 3,870.

IRVINE, CA -- Actors playing rugby players in the new movie "Invictus" used Power Plate vibration technology machines to alleviate sore muscles on the set, the company said.
In the movie, Nelson Mandela, played by Morgan Freeman, attempts to use rugby and the 1995 Rugby World Cup to unite South Africa after apartheid.
"While shooting the movie 'Invictus,' we weren't acting; we played full-tilt rugby every day, all day," Grant Roberts, celebrity trainer and actor in the movie, said in a statement. "The Power Plate machine was an important tool that kept me functioning. I used it daily, pre- and post-rugby, to pre-activate my muscles before filming and at the end of the day to stretch and promote active recovery."
Roberts said Freeman and director Clint Eastwood also tried out the Power Plate machine during the movie's filming.

NIXON | THE WEIRD HAWAII from Nixon on Vimeo.
Getting Weird On The North Shore With Nixon
Encinitas, CA- Nixon took its unconventional and homespun surf contest to the North Shore of Oahu with THE WEIRD, a regional surf contest that evens the playing field for all who compete.
THE WEIRD's third invitational event took place in chest-high, fun waves at Ehukai. 18 surfers assembled on the shore for this one-day event including John John Florence, Dusty Payne, Zeke Lau, Nathan Florence, Paul Fisher, Christian Fletcher, Dustin Barca, Finn McGill, Cheyne Magnusson, Josh Kerr, Daniel Jones, and Kamalei Alexander. The contest consisted of three six-man heats judged by fellow peer participants, with the top two of each heat advancing.
Unlike most typical surf contests THE WEIRD is held with a strange, odd, eccentric, quirky—call them what you will—quiver to choose from. Shaped by Hawaii local, Jon Pyzel from Pyzel Surfboards, boards ranged in a variety of different shapes and sizes, including everything from a Simmons twin fin to a mini bonzer. Pyzel shaped the boards with only the criteria—make them weird but contestable. Surfers then had to draw straws to see what board they would surf.
THE WEIRD took place in the midst of the craziness surrounding the Billabong Pipe Masters and was Nixon's alternative to the norm fusing fun and no pressure into a competition format.
In the finals of the event were Finn McGill, Cheyne Magnusson, Dustin Barca, Josh Kerr, Daniel Jones, and Kamalei Alexander. Barca came up on top, judged by his own peers as being the absolute best at shredding THE WEIRD boards, and took the first place prize of $1,000.

Families that home school their children are invited to a Lincoln City Libraries event Monday, November 19 in conjunction with the exhibit The Wartime Escape: Margret and H.A. Rey's Journey from France. The event is from 10:15 to11:45 a.m. at Bennett Martin Public Library, 136 S. 14th Street.
The free exhibit is on display through November 21. It tells how the creators of the "Curious George" series escaped from the Nazi invasion of Paris at the start of World War II. The Jewish couple stashed a few belongings and manuscripts in their knapsacks and bicycle baskets and fled Paris in June 1940, starting a five-month odyssey by bike, train and boat that would eventually bring them to the U.S. A month after their arrival, they received a new contract from Houghton Mifflin for "The Adventures of Fifi," later re-titled "The Adventures of Curious George," a series about an irrepressible brown monkey enjoyed by children for decades.
Families will be given a tour of the exhibit followed by a special Curious George storytime for preschoolers. Parents and older children may participate in a discussion of the book on which the exhibit is based, "The Journey that Saved Curious George: The True Wartime Escape of Margret and H.A. Rey."
Refreshments will be served. To register, call 402-441-8503.
The exhibit is being toured by ExhibitsUSA, a national program of Mid-America Arts Alliance.

A 'Transference of Joy' as the Peking Acrobats Return to Popejoy Hall
But the Peking Acrobats' astonishing display of aerial stunts, feats, and sheer athletic prowess has established it as a favorite with Albuquerque audiences. "Every time we bring them, people rush to get tickets to this show," says Terry Davis, marketing director at Popejoy. "We've had one show we've done every year for the past fourteen called Mariachi Christmas, but I can't think of any other shows where we've brought back literally that show from year to year."
There's good reason for that popularity: Employing highly-trained athletes and artists from all over China who specialize in varieties of contortionism, juggling and body balancing, the troupe puts a remarkable panoply of skill on display. The acrobats tumble, somersault, and commit other feats of precision gymnastics while interacting with traditional props on beautiful sets rich with Chinese silk and brocade. As each act unfolds, flowing from one performer to the next, audiences can expect to see acrobats engage in daring, often breathtaking stunts that appear to defy both gravity and human physiology. The extravaganza is accompanied by live music and lighting effects. The show reveals "what the human body can do beyond its normal expectations," says Davis, providing "an incredible number of options we haven't seen before."
Since their inception in 1986, such showmanship has made the troupe highly sought after in the U.S., Canada and Central America. They're perhaps most widely known for their appearance in the 2001 movie Ocean's 11. The film and its sequels also feature troupe alumnus Shaobo Qin. In 1999, the Peking Acrobats captured a world record when they stacked six people onto six chairs in a 21-foot chair tower on the Guinness World Records: Primetime show.
With decades of appearances in public and on television, the troupe works continuously to update their act. Fresh material is added every year under the leadership of artistic director Ken Hai, who regularly recruits new talent from China's many schools of acrobatics. Though loathe to describe recent innovations to the show in detail, co-producer Cynthia Dike-Hughes is especially excited about what she describes as a "beautiful and artistic" equilibrium act in which two performers balance off each other onstage. To those who may have seen the Peking Acrobats perform in the past, she hopes to convey the message, "You haven't seen this show!"
In keeping with this mission, musicians are a key part of the 30-person troupe. The acrobatic spectacle is enhanced with traditional Chinese instruments such as the yang qin, reminiscent of a hammered dulcimer, and the er hu, a two-stringed instrument played with a bow. The musicians even come onstage during certain parts of the show, a demonstration of their importance that sets the Peking Acrobats apart from other Chinese acrobatics shows, according to Dike-Hughes.
Two thousand years of culture, tradition, and expertise come surprisingly cheap for Albuquerque audiences. Tickets start at $20, making it possible for even a family of four to attend affordably. Terry Davis encourages families to bring children to the evening performance at Popejoy Hall, since the next day is Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, a school holiday. Cynthia Dike-Hughes is also enthusiastic about the show's popularity with children. Part of the troupe's mission, she says, consists in "cultivating our audiences of the future...they go and have a fantastic time and remember, and [eventually] bring their own kids." The show will certainly also appeal to adults, concert-goers and fans of classical and world music.
During a performance, there's a "transference of joy from performers to audience," says Dike-Hughes. "When you see what these performers are capable of, and you know how hard they work…it's really awe inspiring to see what they can do." The Albuquerque public will have just two chances in 2013 to determine whether she's right.
