Ever since I've been using a Mac, I enjoy using Sparse Encrypted Disk Images for a variety of tasks, for instance securely storing data that can be backed up somewhere else, say on a hosting server.
In fact, most of my project/personal data on my Mac sits on sparse encrypted disk images that are regularly rsynced to an external storage service, Strato's in particular.
The beauty of this solution lies in it simplicity:
Sparse encrypted disk images show up just like any other hard drive. But on the back end, they translate into a bunch of flat files that store all the data in an encrypted manner. By rsyncing the backing store, sparse encrypted disk images can be easily backed up across the net, while ensuring privacy and convenience.
Here's how to do similar things with Solaris and ZFS, including some extra data integrity magic:
So what we're looking for is a solution that is:
Encrypted, so data remains private,
Robust, so data survives even if the transmission/rsync/backup process is flawed,
Convenient, so data can be written or read easily on the home server side,
Finely-grained, so we can make our storage as big as we want, without worrying about file sizes.
The solution is to leverage a couple of Solaris mechanisms. Notice that this has not been blessed by Solaris Engineering, but it works for me and is fun to play with:
mkfile, we can create individual files of 1GB of size to store our data in.
We will mount these files using lofiadm as encrypted block devices, so they can be accessed by the system just like a regular disk would be accessed.
We can then combine a bunch of such lofi devices into a zpool using any of the redundancy schemes (RAID-Z2 in this particular case) to turn a bunch of files into a regular ZFS zpools
Later, we can either backup or rsync our backing store files to some cloud service without worrying about security (since all data is encrypted at the block level) and data integrity (since we leverage ZFS RAID-Z in an end-to-end manner). Even if our cloud storage service or whatever we use to backup out stuff with screws up the occasional file, we can get our data back since it's being RAID-Z2 protected.
Here's what to do:
Create a bunch of 1GB files to serve as backing stores:
mkdir /export/szpools cd /export/szpools mkfile 1g szpool_1 szpool_2 szpool_3 szpool_4 szpool_5 szpool_6
lofiadmto turn those files into encrypted block devices:
lofiadm -c aes-256-cbc -a /export/szpools/szpool_1 Enter passphrase: Re-enter passphrase: /dev/lofi/1 lofiadm -c aes-256-cbc -a /export/szpools/szpool_2 Enter passphrase: Re-enter passphrase: /dev/lofi/2 lofiadm -c aes-256-cbc -a /export/szpools/szpool_3 Enter passphrase: Re-enter passphrase: /dev/lofi/3 lofiadm -c aes-256-cbc -a /export/szpools/szpool_4 Enter passphrase: Re-enter passphrase: /dev/lofi/4 lofiadm -c aes-256-cbc -a /export/szpools/szpool_5 Enter passphrase: Re-enter passphrase: /dev/lofi/5 lofiadm -c aes-256-cbc -a /export/szpools/szpool_6 Enter passphrase: Re-enter passphrase: /dev/lofi/6
Create a zpool out of those encrypted block devices:
zpool create szpool raid-z2 /dev/lofi/1 /dev/lofi/2 /dev/lofi/3 /dev/lofi/4 /dev/lofi/5 /dev/lofi/6
Now you can access the pool through regular ZFS means and at the same time backup or rsync the backing store files to some cloud/web hosting service.
We can now create more devices and add them to the pool to grow its capacity and set up a regular cron job that rsyncs all data into an external service for backup.
Should your local system go up in flames, you can restore the data on a new system, recreate the lofi devices and import the pool.
A few questions and answers:
Why not use ZFS encryption? Yes, ZFS encryption would work as well, but I prefer to use block encryption in this case because it more effectively hides the structure of the pool to the backup service. They should not know what's on the files, not even that they're being used as virtual block devices.
Can the asynchronous nature of rsync and other mechanisms compromise data integrity? Yes and now. As long as there's a regular rsync process running that backs up all block devices, data can be restored reliably. There are a couple of mechanisms in ZFS that help import the pool even if the underlying devices have been backed up/restored in an unknown order.
Why go through this trouble if you can also use zfs send/receive for backup? zfs send/receive is fine, but it creates very large files, which are unwieldly for your typical hosting service. They're also not encrypted. This is a much more compatible solution because all it does is map ZFS magic onto a bunch of 1GB files.
Shouldn't this be scripted? Yes, it should.

Good morning, loves! Hope the week is treating you well.
Ever since I attended by cousin's bridal tea this past weekend, my mind has been consumed with thoughts of throwing a tea party. There was something so quaint, easy and elegant about it.
My tea fantasy would take place in a stunning villa and it would include the most gorgeous china, scrumptious tea sandwiches, scones, macarons, tarts and cream puffs and and array of the most delicious tasting teas.
Care to join the party?
Have a wonderful day, sweets!

April 26, 2007
Two students' dreams are now realized by an NCAA Choices Alcohol Education grant. The grant was awarded Wabash College and — coupled with matching campus funds — will be used for peer education about alcohol use.
Chris Ogden '06 and Brandon Clifton '06 began "Students and Wabash Athlete Responsibility Mentors" (SWARM) four years ago. The concept was to have at least one member of each athletic team and living unit join forces to promote good decisions.
This year students came together wanting to increase the group's visibility on campus. The WAR (Wabash men Act Responsible) Council is linked directly with the offices of the Dean of Students, Student Health, and Student Activities.
"This has validated our efforts over the past few years to promote responsible decision-making and alcohol awareness," said Jason Simons of the WAR council. "We are very excited about the opportunity to host bigger and better events that promote and raise awareness of our cause."
The NCAA grant is for $27,489 over a three-year period with a campus match of $51,619. The program will be known as LITTLE Choices Have GIANT Consequences.
The students will be delivering their message at NCAA events, all-campus social activities, Homecoming, and Pan-Hel. Additionally, the WAR Council will create other fun activities throughout the year where alcohol is not present.
Athletic trainer Mark Colston has been working with the group and helping recruit student athletes from each Little Giant team. "This group has been struggling with finding itself with limited funding and trying to educate Wabash men about alcohol," Colston said. "Now with funding, the education events and activities should be enhanced."
Colston and Associate Dean of Students Mike Raters will coordinate the grant.
"I'm excited for our students, who will be able to use the grant funds to better design activities that are creative and fun and, more significantly, that will enable students to model responsible behaviors," Raters said. "By putting faces and activities with the social norm, students will be better able to see responsible, gentlemanly behavior modeled – and, thus, will feel compelled to model it themselves."
The coordinators were quick to credit the increased student involvement and the help of Nancy Doemel, Senior Advancement Officer.
"This is our third try, and it had the most student involvement," Doemel said. "We think it dovetails nicely with other leadership training efforts on campus, and we're eager to see the guys in the WAR Council involved in those activities, as learners, and later, as peer educators."
The WAR Council has nearly 40 students, representing athletics and living units, signed up. The students involved include: Kevin Andrews '10, Bryan Arnold '09, Yousuf Bahrami '10, Tyler Benbow '08, Aaron Brock '10, Jay Brouwer '09, Eric Carroll '08, Sean Clerget '09, Robert Fozkos '10, Brock Graham '10, Wade Heiny '09, John Holmes '09, Cole Jeffries '10, Charles Johnson '09, Cody Johnson '10, John Kasey '08, Bill Kneapler '10, Geoffrey Lambert '08, Ben Lampkins '10, Joshua Lopez '10, Devin Moss '09, Ryan Nuppnau '08, Adam Petro '10, Matt Potasnik '08, Tim Rickard '08, Richard Roomes '08, David Rosborough '10, Nathan Schrader '10, Mike Schultz '08, Erick Shaver '09, Sabir Shrestha '09, Simons '08, Mark Thomas '10, Jared Tribbett '09, Jordan Vice '09, Trayton White '08.

The United States risks losing the business and job opportunities of an expanding global economy, as well as the security that flows from promoting American values abroad, if America's role in the world falls prey to the budget battle now gripping Washington, Secretary of State John Kerry said Wednesday.
In his first major policy speech as the nation's top diplomat, Secretary Kerry said the US must resist the same urge to turn inward that tempted it after World War II. Instead, he said, it should lead in the global causes of the 21st century, ranging from economic prosperity and expansion of democracy to the addressing of climate change.
Speaking at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, Kerry said he wanted to open a conversation with the American people about the essential role of US diplomacy in the world before setting off next week on his first overseas trip in his new post.
He started his remarks by cautioning that "our engagement with the rest of the world begins by making some important choices, together, about our national budget." It is "imperative," he said, that the US not cut back on what he characterized as an already minimal investment in diplomacy.
Kerry cited a recent poll that found most Americans assume the US spends about a quarter of the federal budget on international affairs – while they thought the right level of spending would be about 10 percent of the budget.
"Would that that were true! I'd take 10 percent in a heartbeat," Kerry said, "because 10 percent is exactly 10 times greater than what we invest."
Kerry said he chose the University of Virginia as the venue for this speech because it was founded by Thomas Jefferson, the nation's first secretary of State and a leader who understood the role that education would play in securing a young nation's place in the world.
"Let's remember that the principles of Jefferson's time – in a nation that was just getting used to its independence – still echo in our own time, in a world that's still getting used to our interdependence," he said. "America's national interest in leading strongly still endures in this world."
Kerry did not use his speech to offer a laundry list of the pressing crises he plans to address. He made no mention of Syria's civil war, the Middle East peace process, or the challenge of a rising China, although he did speak of the importance of "making sure Iran never obtains a [nuclear] weapon that would endanger our allies and our interests."
Instead, he focused on the broad global challenges that he said actually present "opportunities" for international cooperation and American leadership. Such challenges include "a dramatically changing climate," demographic changes (defined most starkly by countries in North Africa and the Middle East, he said, where about half the population is under 20 years old), human rights, and global stability and security.
Kerry received some of the longest applause of his speech when he included "gender equality" among the values the US must be promoting. "Countries are in fact more peaceful and prosperous when women and girls are afforded full rights and equal opportunity," he noted.
His second major theme was the opportunity presented by an expanding and globalizing economy – and how the US risks missing that opportunity if it focuses too single-mindedly on domestic economic and budgetary challenges.
Citing the implementation of the Marshall Plan after World War II, Kerry said the US must have the same "foresight" today to assist those developing countries that have the same promise that Europe's destroyed economies did then of becoming America's partners down the road.
"After the war, we didn't spike the football; we created a more level playing field," he said, "and we're stronger for it today."
Kerry also warned that other major powers are not standing idly by as the US considers its domestic budgetary challenges, noting that China "is already investing more than we do" in Africa and its growing economies. "Developing economies are the epicenters of growth, and they are open for business," Kerry said, "and the US needs to be at that table."
Kerry closed his speech by telling how, as the 12-year-old son of a Foreign Service officer living in a divided Berlin, he ventured one day across to the communist part of the city "that hadn't received any help from the United States and its courageous Marshall Plan."
Even a "12-year-old's eyes" could see the difference between the hope and freedom that people expressed in the "recovering western half of Europe" and the despair and oppression witnessed that day in Berlin's eastern sector, he said. Back on the western side, Kerry said he remembers feeling proud of America's role in rebuilding economies and offering people freedom.
Kerry had already told that story once in his new role, to a throng of employees the first day he arrived for work at the State Department. It seems likely he'll tell it again next week – when he visits old stomping grounds in what today is a unified Berlin and when he sits down for a discussion with German youths.
Kerry's predecessor, Hillary Rodham Clinton, had her own story she recounted many times as she traveled widely and spoke about America's role in the world. She told audiences in nascent democracies the story of how, once the political adversary of Barack Obama, she had put rivalries aside to serve him – and America – as his secretary of State. That, she said again and again, was the essence of democracy.
In a similar way, Kerry's story seems likely to serve him repeatedly as he works to explain and advance America's role in the world.

Areas in Warwick such as Apponaug, "the place of the shellfish," have been uncovered by archeologists and give us some insight into Indian culture. Apponaug was the place where two main Indian trails, the Pequot and the Nooseneck, met. The Narragansetts allowed all travelers not at war with the tribe to gather shellfish and feast there. Layer upon layer of clam and quahog shells testify to the use of the area.
About 10 miles south of Apponaug, on the Pequot trail, was Cocumscussoc, the main camp of Canonicus, the tribe's ruling sachem when Roger Williams came to the area. It was here at Cocumscussoc, just north of present-day Wickford, that Williams and Richard Smith were allowed to set up a trading post in 1636-39. Cocumscussoc was a thriving village known for its agriculture and trade. Wampum-peage made hare could be found 600 mile away from the ocean. All along the coast, fields of corn, squash and beans were an indication of the tribe's early ability to supplement hunting and fishing with agriculture.
Due to a great deal of prejudice on the part of the early settlers, the accomplishments of these Indians and their gifts to our heritage have often been minimized or ignored. Much of the reason for this was due to misunderstanding, fear, resentment and religious beliefs. The Englishman regarded farming as a means of not only feeding his family but of amassing wealth and gaining possessions he felt necessary to a proper lifestyle. It was his "duty" to clear the land and farm it. The Indian, it appeared, left most of the planting and other aspects of agriculture to the female, as well as the tedious tasks of shellfishing. The Indian male, on the other hand, engaged primarily in hunting and fishing, areas the English regarded as supplemental or even recreational. The Indian male seemed to spend most of the summer months taking his ease or playing, occupations that many Calvinist settlers regarded as "sinful." All along the shore in the summer, especially in the Wickford area, the Narragansett tribe played a game not unlike our football. The "ball" was made of deerskin and was filled with moss or other soft material. Rival tribes came from many miles around to play in the games and brought along their followers. There was a great deal of yelling, shouting, cheering and gambling in much the same manner that accompanies our college and Super Bowl games. Other contests, including a contest much like lacrosse, plus foot races, tomahawk throwing and exhibits of skill and endurance brought the Indians from as far away as Maine and South Carolina.
These contests served as an important occasion for trade. The Narragansetts excelled in the making of "peage," skillfully rounded shells that could be used for the exchange of goods. By trading this peage, as well as agricultural products, fish and meat, the Narragansetts were able to obtain goods they needed.
When the English first came into contact with the Narragansetts, hunting and fishing was the basis for the economy, but trade and agriculture were being developed to a satisfactory degree of sophistication. The Narragansetts were already very proficient in growing corn, squash and beans and were willing to share their knowledge with the 17th century European settlers. The Indian males worked hard in clearing the fields, removing boulders and breaking up soil. Land ownership was based on a tribal rather than individual ownership, and a great deal of cooperation was necessary. Often, 30 to 100 people would gather and work all day breaking up soil, using crude "hoes" that were little more than sharp sticks or tools made from stones and large animal bones. At the close of the day, the workers would eat or "feast upon" the food prepared by their females and often engaged in singing and dancing, pastimes frowned upon by the Puritans.
Among the crops planted were corn, beans (forerunners of kidney, lima and scarlet runners), squash )crookneck and winter) and pumpkins. The main crop was corn, which was planted in hills, each of which was fertilized by fish such as herring. The hills of corn were in rows, with the other crops planted between the rows. The female hoed the area with flat stones and for many years it was easy to tell the Indian fields from the English, as the Indian ones were free of weeds.
Fact, fancy and folklore as it was written circa 1980 will be continued.

Cooperstown Collection Series 2Thursday, April 26th, 2007
March 16, 2005 -
|Willie Stargell
|Willie Mays
|Catfish Hunter
|Babe Ruth
|Mike Schmidt
|Cal Ripken Jr.
Spring brings out the best in sports. March Madness takes off, the NBA's true season — the playoffs — kick pro hoops into overdrive and baseball begins its marathon season. Though some may known McFarlane Toys best for its Spawn and movie toys, the successful toy company is also the premiere source for sports collectibles. To commemorate the start of the baseball season, McFarlane Toys is releasing a new Cooperstown Collection series. Six of the greatest players in baseball history are included this year.
The six-inch figures are highly detailed if not highly-posable. Each comes with a molded stand painted and textured to look like infield dirt. The only notable flaw in packaging is a lack of info on each players. These are Hall of Fame superstars, they deserve to have their historic numbers noted on the packaging. Otherwise, there's really nothing but brilliance here. But which one's best? Check out our breakdown of each baseball star.
Willie Stargell #8
McFarlane Says: He was Pittsburgh's hero, but everyone's friend. The man known as "Pops" was one of the most endearing players in baseball history. Willie Stargell earned a nation of fans with his earnest smile and fearsome power. The patriarch of the "We Are Family" Pirates clubs, Stargell was named the National League MVP in 1979 at the age of 39! Willie led Pittsburgh to World Series titles in 1971 and 1979 and brought a jovial presence to the park rarely seen since.
We Say: Stargell is probably the least interesting of the figures. He may be family, but he's also the only one posing before the action. This is Stargell watching as the pitcher begins his windup. Who thinks of Willie Stargell waiting for the pitch? The figure looks great, but compared to the others, this is the least impressive pose.
Willie Mays #24
McFarlane Says: If there are five "tools" in baseball then Willie Mays must have been a carpenter. The Giants' star outfielder excelled in all facets of the game — hitting for power and average, stealing bases, fielding and throwing with brilliance. He was the National League Rookie of the Year in 1951, played in 20 All-Star games, earned 12 Gold Gloves and two National League MVP awards. Mays played the game at a higher level and helped turn a generation of wide-eyed kids into baseball fans.
We Say: One of the top three greatest players to ever stop on the field, Mays is best-remembered for an over-the-shoulder catch. However, just like the statue that immortalizes him outside SBC Park, Mays is shown following his slugger's swing. Mays looks great, uniform dirtied muscles strained, his entire body thrown into the swing. Still, this cat did field, ya know?
Catfish Hunter #27
McFarlane Says: It's hard to remember the name James Augustus Hunter, but no one forgot how "Catfish" pitched. The star pitcher for the Athletics, "Catfish" won 21 or more games five seasons in a row and recorded a perfect game in 1968. Hunter won the Cy Young award in 1974, and finished his career on Broadway — pitching under the bright lights of Yankee Stadium. Though injuries ended his career at age 33, Hunter won 224 games and five World Series titles.
We Say: Oakland's man with the magic 'stache is mid-windup on the mound. The only pitcher in the set, Catfish is a great addition to the Cooperstown Collection. Of course, I'm an A's fan, so what would you expect me to say? Head down, ball gripped to throw a breaking ball, Catfish looks in his element. This is one of the best figures in the set.
Babe Ruth #3
McFarlane Says: George Herman Ruth remains as one of the most dominant sports figures of the 20th century. "The Babe" brought unparalleled power to the game of baseball, often out-homering other teams during his early career. After winning 89 games as a left-handed pitcher for Boston, the Red Sox shipped him to the Yankees in exchange for a curse and some cash. Ruth led the American League in homers 12 times, crushing 714 longballs while leading the Yankees to seven pennants and four World Series titles.
We Say: Wow. The Babe sure was an ugly man. The unattractive yet loveable slugger is captured at the end of his classic home run swing. The pose is spot on and the '20s era Yankees uniform is extra baggy, as it should be. The Sultan of Swat chased Carlton Fisk from this set. Oh, Babe, you still find a way to curse Red Sox fans.
Mike Schmidt #20
McFarlane Says: Baseball fans had high standards for defensive play at third base following Brooks Robinson's marvelous career, but Mike Schmidt showed fans a defensive clinic while also putting on a fireworks display. Schmidt hit 30 or more homers in a season ten times, en route to 548 career dingers. His determination at the plate and in the field brought him 12 All-Star selections, ten gold Gloves and three National League MVP awards. Schmidt was a tough guy in a tougher town, but even the nastiest of the Philly faithful tip their caps to the redheaded monster at the hot corner.
We Say: The best figure in the series, Schmidt is captured at the moment of contact. You can practically hear the crack of the bat. Not to be critical of Schmidty, but that pine tar on his bat is riding a little high.
Cal Ripken Jr.
McFarlane Says: Cal Ripken Junior was born in Maryland, played 20 seasons for the Orioles, and retired to start a developmental team in their minor league system — it's safe to say that when cut, he probably bleeds orange. Cal won the American League Rookie of the year award in 1982, and the A.L. MVP award one year later while leading Baltimore to a World Series championship. His unbelievable career is actually overshadowed by one singular record. Ripken shattered Lou Gehrig's record for consecutive games played — breaking the old mark of 2,130 games (JSM) and setting a new standard with 2,632. The record is impressive in and of itself, but the timing of the chase was perfect. Baseball had alienated much of its fan base with the players' strike and the cancellation of the World Series in 1994, and it was the dogged determination of Cal Ripken chasing Lou Gehrig's record that brought thousands of fans back to the game.
We Say: The modern day Iron Man is pictured circa the early '80s, when the Orioles were hot stuff. Ripken was all about the fundamentals, so it makes sense he's about to snag a routine grounder to short. Bonus points for the dirt on the left ass, a sign that Ripken must have slid into second in a previous inning.

Postgame quotes after the Revolution fell to Morelia in the SuperLiga 2010 Final at Gillette Stadium on September 1, 2010.
We had done well in the first half, but we hadn't generated a ton of shots on goal. But in the second half, we were a little bit more precise in the final third of the field. And our first goal opened their defense and (Miguel) Sabah's goal – he is an unpredictable goal scorer who can score any type of goal. After that, [New England] scored a very good goal that put us in a real fight. They risked everything will almost five forwards, like you would expect for a final. But in the end, we were able to weather the storm of their attack.
This group for me, is a very good group. We've been coming together over a long period of time. So for me, it is extra special to win a championship with this group. We have almost 12 guys who are under 22, and with the collective personality that we've developed it makes me very happy and is a good sign of things to come.
I think that the level in MLS has improved considerably. … We enjoy playing against the North American teams. They motivate us and they are capable of establishing a good rivalry.
I don't know about the other teams. Maybe for the big teams with big names, maybe [SuperLiga is not as important]. But for a team like ours that cannot always draw the highest talent … for us, it's very important. For at least 10-14 clubs in Mexico, they really see the value in this rivalry.
I like this format [for SuperLiga]. I understand that some would like to change it to a more compact tournament, but this way we are able to plan better and use it in our preparation. But maybe for the public, they lose a bit of the emotion between games with them being spread out, but this way with a group phase like UEFA Champions League, is good.
I very much appreciate the kind words of some of the other coaches about our style of play. … the MLS clubs play a very tactical game, sometimes a rigid tactical game, but they know how to take advantage of opportunities and it's not easy to play against them. … I think they're not far away from reaching an even more competitive level.
Estamos muy contentos obviamente porque hicimos un gran torneo desde el primer partido que participamos en este torneo. Lo tomamos muy en serio y en el final tomamos una gran actitud, una gran personalidad y creo que por eso lo mereciamos.
We are obviously very happy because we played well in this tournament from the first game in the tournament. We took it very seriously and brought a great attitude and personality to the final and I think that because of that, we deserved it.
Como delantero es importante, es importantisimo aparecer en los momentos complicados. Tienes la presión encima, pero uno tiene que saberla llevar. Estoy muy contento por los goles pero creo que mucho más contento por todo el trabajo que hicimos dentro de la cancha.
As a forward, it is important, extremely important to appear in the complicated moments. You have the pressure on you, but you need to know how to take it. I am very happy about the goals, but I think I am happier about all of the work that we did on the field.
Vas midiendo la jugada. Se te presenta el balón en el aire y sin pensarlo, lo intentas. Tiras al gol. No sabes adonde puede salir el balón. Le pegas queriendo que entre donde sea, asi fue, no?
You start measuring the play. The ball presents itself in the air, and without thinking about it, you try for it. You don't know where the ball can go. You shoot on goal and strike it (the ball) wanting it to go in anywhere (in the net). That's what happened.
The game hinges on two things. Kheli Dube has a great chance that could put us ahead, then obviously the mistake for the penalty and the goal. That's the difference. They were better on the ball than we were, but saying that, the only thing that caused us problems were our errors from bad play, which there were too many. We kept at it. But those two things are huge in the outcome of the game. If we can get a nose ahead, it's a different ballgame. Instead we make a mistake and get a penalty and it changes the whole game.
We hadn't cleared it, and to be honest, from where I sat, I can't really see much. The was pulled down. Had it been in the other penalty box, we would have been rooting for it, as well. Sometimes you get them, sometimes you don't get them. On this occasion, they got it … A lot of the good things they did boiled down to basic errors we made and they capitalized, including the penalty.
I think Shalrie (Joseph) kind of bypassed me and found Ilija (Stolica). I just kind of peeled off and got the ball facing goal and saw Kevin (Alston). The whole thing happens because he makes a great run. He's aggressive getting out of the back and finished it well.
I thought we looked like we were a little more energized after that. I thought we were going to get the second one in. To be fair, we had some chances – it just didn't fall for us.
It's tough. I think it's always tough when you feel like one mistake here, one mistake there and we could correct it and get the victory. We've just got to keep focusing on those little things and just try to get those better.
It's a penalty that, if it happens to us, you're calling for a penalty and if it happens against you, you're not. Darrius (Barnes) fell down and the guy just kind of fell into him and fell over. It's unfortunate, but that's the way it goes.
It's always going to be tough and especially the way we're playing right now. We're usually only scoring about a goal a game. In order to [win tonight], it was going to take something special and we got close, but not close enough.
It's tough because guys at this level can kind of go anywhere and they can lead and see where you're going. So I try to stay big as long as possible and get a read on it. But he went right up the middle … They can go up, low, high and they're just reading the situation and a good forward can wait until you fall down and pick either side.
At that point, it was still 0-0 and we weren't playing the best. We played well in the beginning – probably the first 25 minutes – and then the second 20 minutes of the first half we didn't play very well. We're trying to just get our shape right and making sure we didn't give up too many chances.
We have a handful of games left and we're pretty far out of the playoff picture but we really ought to hunker down and get some results. We're probably going to have to win 90 percent of the games left.
(Scoring my first goal) feels good, but we lost and it doesn't really mean much. So it goes both ways.
It was one of those things where the ball's coming to me and the first person I see is Zack (Schilawski) so I figure I'd lay it off and try to open up. They teach you that – to lay it off and try to find the space, so that was my first instinct and it worked out.
I thought we were decently organized. Any time you play a team like that where they like to possess the ball, you can pressure them but it's playing into their game because they want to move the ball – they want to make you run, so we tried to stay organized. The first goal was tough but the second goal was an amazing goal; you can't do too much about that.
Even when we were down two, we never gave up. We always believed that we could come back. We had chances – Cory (Gibbs) had that chance in the end, Kheli (Dube) had a chance. There were just chances all around, so it's tough that we couldn't do more.
You can't dwell on it. We know that we have a tough task ahead of us. We need to start getting points, the playoffs start now. That's all we're thinking about now – forget this game.
We talked about how in the first half – for maybe 20 minutes – we were playing our game and then the next 25 minutes we were kind of playing to their game, just chasing and not staying focused, letting them make runs off the ball. We weren't staying with them. So we just talked about coming out into the second half, we needed to come out with a little more intensity and a little more focus and organization and start playing our game.
We had chances. I had a header, and then Kheli (Dube) had a shot. Then Khano (Smith) had a shot too. We were just trying to push to find the equalizer, but it didn't come for us tonight.
Defensively, we made two mistakes. Darius (Barnes) should have cleared that first one, but he got fouled. It didn't go our way with that call, and then the second goal was just a brilliant finish. It caught Matty (Reis) off… And then the game was more about defending. We were trying to create chances. I thought we played well, but we just didn't score the chances we had.
I think with playing a Mexican team, they teach us about organization, they teach us how to defend well as a team. They keep the ball so well and possess it. And then Saturday, we've just got to worry about creating more chances and trying to be smarter and getting back into the MLS season. We did our best in SuperLiga, and we've just got to look forward to the MLS.
I think we started really slow when we came out and we didn't put enough pressure on the ball and they move really well. We were giving them way too much space at times. They were cutting us off and in the second half, we tried to limit their space, limit their chances. And that would help us if we do that a little bit more in the first half. I think we just need to create more chances and just put them more on the backs of their heels. Start bumping balls forward a little bit more, and we did that in the second half.

Huskers Fall in Home Finale
Lincoln - A 19-hit performance by the Wichita State Shockers spoiled the 2012 home finale for the Nebraska baseball team (32-20, 12-9 Big Ten) on Tuesday night at Hawks Field. The Shockers got out to a 2-0 lead in the top of the first and never looked back, as they coasted to a 13-2 win.
Juniors Chad Christensen and Josh Scheffert each had two hits on the night and Richard Stock hit his team-leading 16th double of the season, but three Shocker home runs and a 5-for-5 night from Johnny Coy proved too much.
After WSU took a 2-0 lead in the first on a two-out, two-run homer by Coy, the Huskers looked to score a run in the bottom of the frame on a line drive by Stock, but shortstop Erik Harbutz made a leaping catch to snag a ball that would have easily reached the gap in left-center field.
The night didn't get any better for the Huskers in the bottom of the second when Scheffert led off the inning with a blast to right-center-field. Right fielder Don Lambert robbed Scheffert of his ninth home run and held onto the ball after crashing on the wall.
Nebraska cut the Shockers lead to five, 7-2, in the bottom of the sixth, but could get no closer as WSU piled on six runs over the final three innings.
The Huskers will be back on the field in less than 48 hours when they open a three-game series at Michigan on Thursday night at 5:05 p.m. (CT). Freshman Kyle Kubat is scheduled to get the ball for the Huskers as they look to secure a spot in the Big Ten Tournament.
With three games remaining in the regular season, NU sits in a tie for fourth place and is one-game out of second place. The series with the Wolverines continues on Friday at 5:05 p.m. and concludes on Saturday at 12:05 p.m.
Greg Sharpe and Jeff Culhane will have the call of all three games on the Husker Sports Network and each game will be streamed live on BTN.com (subscription required).

Shrubsteppe Ecology
Big sagebrush-bunchgrass community, Horse Heaven Hills near Prosser.
Sage sparrows are one of several sagebrush-obligate birds in Washington.
Current (bottom) and historic (top) extents of shrubtsteppe/steppe habitats in eastern Washington. Green=forest; darkbrown=shrubsteppe/steppe; tan=cropland.
Sagebrush-steppe and rimrock along the Columbia River near Vantage.
Wheat fields now dominate the historic grasslands of the Palouse Prairie in southeast Washington.
Shrubsteppe communities form the iconic, western landscape of open sagebrush plains, rimrock, and tumbleweeds. Described as vegetation communities consisting of one or more layers of perennial grass with a discontinuous overstory layer of shrubs, shrubsteppe historically dominated the landscape in eastern Washington. Some of the many species of wildlife that inhabit shrubsteppe can only be found in these semi-arid communities. Greater sage-grouse, sage sparrows, sage thrashers, and pygmy rabbits are among an elite group of species that depend on sagebrush and are termed "sagebrush obligates". A host of other birds, mammals, reptiles, and insects are found primarily in sagebrush-steppe or other shrubsteppe communities.
Today, less than 50% of Washington's historic shrubsteppe remains (Fig. 1), and much of it is degraded, fragmented, and/or isolated from other similar habitats. Conversion to cropland has resulted in the greatest loss of shrubsteppe in Washington, leading to a fragmented landscape and a differentially high loss of deep-soil communities. Across the Intermountain West, shrubsteppe communities have been lost or degraded by conversion to cropland, extensive energy extraction, and alteration of the vegetation through over-grazing, invasion by exotic plants and changes in fire frequency.
Anthropogenic changes in these unique habitats have caused severe declines in species like the greater sage-grouse and have led to the extirpation of the pygmy rabbit in Washington. Other shrubsteppe-associated species that are likely on the decline include the Washington ground squirrel, Brewer's sparrow, and burrowing owl. Conversion of shrubsteppe to cropland and other uses is responsible for much of the observed declines in native species; however, the pattern of habitat loss and how remaining habitat is configured on the landscape likely plays a significant role in determining use by wildlife.
Since the 1980s, WDFW scientists have been studying how changes in the landscape in eastern Washington affect shrubsteppe-associated wildlife. Our research has focused on providing information that can be used by land managers to minimize effects of development on shrubsteppe-associated wildlife.

Panagiotis Madamopoulos-Moraris
Athens, Greece
Class Year:
Prior Education:
Democritus University of Thrace Law School, LL.B
What I Did Before Law School:
Before Penn, I worked as an in-house associate for an investment group. In addition, I have been active in the chapters of the most prominent Hellenic-American organizations and served as a liaison with legislators, the State Department, and educational institutions. I advanced the best interests of the U.S. on issues of importance to Greek Americans. Furthermore, I promoted the most important pillars of both Greek and American societies—freedom and democracy—namely through forums and conferences.
Why I Chose Penn Law:
I was looking for an LL.M that would allow me to focus on the interconnection between the spheres of law, public affairs, and business. Due to the interdisciplinary nature of the school, I was fortunate enough to have access to and interact with faculty and students from Wharton, Annenberg and FELS. Moreover, Philly's proximity to Washington, D.C. and New York enabled me to often visit these cities, which accommodate anyone who desires to work at the intersection of business and government.
My Best Experience at Penn Law:
It is difficult for me to choose one specific memory. The whole year was a life-altering experience! It's fair to say that after Penn Law I am a different person in the sense that I have developed both academically and personally.
My Favorite Course
Negotiations with Professor Stuart Diamond. He explained the irrational world we operate in through his theories about decision-making. Essentially, he provided the tools necessary to "expand the pie" in every business or personal negotiation and thereby "get more" out of life. Naturally, lawyers love getting more, and coincidentally, Greeks love getting more as well. Oh, wait a minute – everybody loves getting more! You'll love the course—If you're lucky enough to get in. If not, try to negotiate for a seat in the class. If successful, you definitely possess talent for this coursework!
My Favorite Philadelphia Moment:
Spring Sundays chilling at Rittenhouse Square. If you don't live it — you cannot feel it.
What I'm Most Proud Of:
Being a member of the Penn alumni family: an extraordinary group of people committed to improving the state of this world.
My Extracurricular Activities at Penn Law:
In an effort to support Penn Law students of Greek descent and share our vibrant and unique culture with our fellow Penn Law classmates, I established the Penn Law Hellenic League ('HL'). The HL still exists as a student-run organization that fosters community among its members and participates in a variety of school-sponsored activities to allow its members to give back to the local community. HL also lent its support to student pro bono projects such as the Immigrant Rights Project and participates in a number of other pro bono activities. Moreover, the HL organizes various "firm tours" where members visit some of the world's most prestigious firms, network with alumni during sponsored lunches, and strengthen our ties to the greater Greek American community. It is our goal to establish strong communal bonds that will serve our members over the course of their lives.
Last but not least, since day one, I was heavily involved with our class soccer and basketball team.
My Favorite Place or Activity on the University Campus:
I enjoyed jogging by the river towards the Art Museum while the sun was rising. This picturesque route should be a graduation prerequisite for every student on campus.

I am so happy Friday is finally here!
Although I am currently on holiday and I really don't have to worry about deadlines or studying at all..I had to pack all my stuff in less than 12 hours in order for them to be shipped back to my home country where I am finally going on Wednesday! It was very stressful but now I can relax and enjoy some UK shopping for the next few days:)
I am a heel junkie as you can probably tell by my outfits but when I have a long day ahead of me, I like to wear more comfortable shoes! I was in the hunt of the perfect pair of trainers and I finally found them it I was in Prague, I love the colours and they are the comfiest shoes I own! Wearing a pencil skirt with trainers is definitely out of my comfort zone but I am more than happy with the results even though I got plenty of weird looks at some points:)
I am wearing:
Top - Primark
Skirt - New Yorker
Trainers - Deichmann
Bag - Primark
Watch - D&G
Bracelets - Souvenir & Born Pretty
Ring - Primark
How do you style your sneakers?
Wishing you all an amazing weekend!
Thanks for reading:)

If you have read my articles here at the Canucks Army for the past few months, you are aware of Vancouver's collection of unheralded college prospects. Back in October, I profiled 2011 draft pick Joseph LaBate, even going so far as to compare him to David Backes. LaBate's freshman season at the University of Wisconsin has gone according to plan – he is playing a top six role for a strong college program, and his regular season recently wrapped up. He finished with five goals and 20 points in 34 games for the Badgers.
The University of Wisconsin has churned out some impressive NHL talent in recent years. The notables include Derek Stepan (Rangers), Craig Smith (Predators), Brendan Smith (Red Wings), Jamie McBain (Hurricanes), Jake Gardiner (Leafs), Ryan McDonagh (Rangers), and they currently have the best skater in college hockey in puck-moving defenseman Justin Schultz (Ducks). Coach Mike Eaves has done a great job preparing these guys for the NHL, as the majority of them have spent little to no time in the AHL. Leading up to the 2011 draft, LaBate was pegged as a bit of a project pick (as most 6'4" 18-year-old skaters are), but his overall improvement this season is extremely encouraging.
I have seen bits and pieces of his games on television and the internet, but to get a more thorough picture of how his game has developed, I decided to reach out to Chuck Schwartz from Bucky's Fifth Quarter, a blog covering all things related to University of Wisconsin sports.
Give Chuck a follow on Twitter (@UWChuckSchwartz).
Angus: How has Joseph's season gone so far? Is his play improving?
Schwartz: Joseph has had a fine freshman season. He finished the regular season (34 games) with 20 points, which is around where most had projected him this season. I checked back on my projections and had him at 18 points through 37 games before the regular season started.
He's clearly improved. While he was impressive out of the gates, he's started to play at both ends of the ice which can be demanding in the Mike Eaves system. He's played big time minutes at times and has hung in there in arguably the best college hockey league in the country.
What role does he currently fill with the Badgers? Where do you see him playing next year and beyond?
He's been shuffled around recently as the coaching staff looks for balance throughout the top few lines. At times he's played on the top unit with Mark Zengerle, and at other times he's played on some lower lines but he's widely considered a top six forward on this roster. He's also on the second power play where he is the big body out front screening the goaltender.
Next season he'll fill much of the same role. Wisconsin returns everyone up front, and LaBate will be looked upon to add to his game in all areas. He's played both center and left wing this season, but it's clear that his future is on the wing. He will play in that role on one of the top two lines for the Badgers as his career progresses.
What current or former NHLer (or Badger) does he compare to in terms of playing style?
I'm atrocious at player comparisons, so I'm not even going to make an attempt. In my view it isn't fair to pigeonhole LaBate, I just don't want to contribute to the development of an unfair reputation, good or bad. I will say that he has a projectable NHL frame and the requisite skill set to play in the league.
How far away is he from the NHL? Does he need the full four years at college?
It's always hard to answer this type of question as players respond to strength and conditioning programs differently. There are a few things holding LaBate back right now, and it starts with his strength. He's got that frame that I mentioned, but he needs to fill it out with muscle. Wisconsin has one of the best strength and conditioning coaches in the country with Jim Snider, and it would be best to see him in that program for at least three seasons.
I don't know if he needs all four seasons at Wisconsin, but I don't think he'll be in the NHL until after his four years of eligibility expire. Players in his mold tend to take a little bit longer to develop as they are growing into their bodies. I think he's about three years away from making the NHL. I'll take a guess and say he'll stay at Wisconsin through his junior season (year three), turn pro and spend a year in the AHL before cracking the Canucks lineup.
Does he have NHL upside? What type of player would he become at the high end? How about the low end?
No question he has NHL upside. LaBate has scouts drooling when they look at the skill set that he has given his size. At the high end, he's a second line left winger in the NHL. I think he's got the package to play in the top six eventually down the road, although he's going to have to improve his overall speed. On the low end, I think he can be a dime-a-dozen forward who is up and down between the NHL and AHL.
I really like the future of this kid.
Any other thoughts on LaBate?
I was talking with a scout this weekend in Minnesota who noted that he feels like LaBate is going to be a force in the WCHA. To be fair, he's stuck on a pretty mediocre team this season, so he's not getting the level of publicity that some of the other freshmen on better teams are. LaBate is going to be a dominant player at Wisconsin very soon.
The thing that should be exciting for Canucks fans is to take a look at the players that Mike Eaves is producing at Wisconsin. The Badgers are consistently in the two or three college programs in terms of numbers of alumni playing in the NHL. Wisconsin has had 21 former players play in the NHL this season. They are basically their own farm club to the NHL. Eaves has played and coached in the league and there isn't a college coach in the country that prepares his players for the rigors of professional hockey like Eaves does.

San Diego Lifeguard Services sergeant and union spokesperson Ed Harris said San Diego lifeguards are good at spotting emergencies and capable of treating all types of medical situations, but the massive crowds make it harder during the hot summer months.
"The more crowded it is, the more challenging it becomes for us to spot people in distress," Harris said. "As it gets more and more crowded, more things happen. So when you talk about medical aid especially, everything that happens to humans happens on the beach."
Many emergencies have nothing to do with the water or sea life. Harris said every year lifeguards make a few cardiac-arrest saves, which is why each lifeguard vehicle is equipped with shock devices.
"We literally have millions of people going to the beach every year. We deal with a wide range of medical aid, everything from seizures to strokes. In fact, people have babies on the beach," Harris said.
In the water, lifeguards deal with everything from rip currents to stingray stings. Harris said rip currents are of biggest concern in the spring, after heavy winter surf digs holes in the sand. Harris said the rip currents tend to ease throughout the summer as the holes are filled in by south swells.
During the winter, Harris said more experienced people are in the water and — whether it's big surf or a medical emergency — rescues are serious.
"In the summertime it's just the volume. It's more the standard rip-current rescues. Due to the numbers, you get more often people going to dive into the water and hit their head on the bottom. They're not as experienced," Harris said. "We get it all the time. We get people that take surfboards to the head or they cut their leg with the fin of the board, or run into each other or over each other."
As the water warms, stingrays come closer to shore and stings become a common injury too.
"It's not uncommon for us to have a couple a day, but I'm sure you've seen in the past where we have people lined up in buckets all the way out the door, and we could do a hundred in a day or 50 in a day," Harris said.
While many medical emergencies at the beach are handled by lifeguards, who are all emergency medical technicians, San Diego Fire-Rescue medics are called for more serious emergencies.
"Fortunately for us, San Diego Fire has a very good medic program," Harris said. "Medics are always pretty close for us. We get medics on the scene usually within five minutes."
For low-level issues — like a wound that requires stitches or a sprain — Harris said lifeguards direct people to local hospitals and urgent-care facilities.
Anderson Medical Center, located at 1945 Garnet Ave., is one urgent-care facility with a lead physician who has more than 20 years of treating beach-related injuries — be it surfing injury or sea-life-inflicted wound.
With a background in sports medicine and as SeaWorld's medical director, Dr. Ken Anderson has treated everything from surfers with dislocated shoulders and fin cuts to animal trainers with stingray stings and seal bites.
"I got a call from University of San Diego the other week because they had a student who had been bitten by a seal, and they were like, 'What do we do with this?'" he said. "So we talked about that type of thing. It's a different type of thing to be exposed to, but I have developed experience with that over the years."
A physician with experience like that is invaluable to the beach community, especially in the summer.
"A big focus of ours is urgent care and open access," Anderson said. "That's why we have the extended hours and why we don't make appointments. It's because we want to take care of injuries and minor emergencies, and we do very well at that."

Is anyone using an Ikelite housing setup with the Fisheye, and if so, how are you mountin the torach to the rig.
I've go an Ikelite housing, with ikelite tray and dual strobe arms. Does anyone know if there is some kind of bracket to connect the bubble arm segments (that hold the fishey) to the Ikelite strobe arms?
Thanks, Damien

The Mini-Hartenberger can be purchased with an optional wide-angle reflector, It has 25% 50% 75% and 100% power settings, all can be dialled in by rotating the disk at the back of the light. I attached mine using a ULCS ball fitting bolted to the Hartenberger handle, which is then attached with a clamp to a ULCS shoe on the top of the housing. Works great.

its not as difficult as it sounds. It is a halcyon explorer type of 50w halogen (i can change the bulb if i like) light that can be focussed (quite narrow) or widened. It has a goodman handle, so i sits just on the back of my (right) hand, i can still use the hand and all the fingers for control of the camera
my 50mm macro lens hunts considerably in low light conditions, with this setup at least the focus is not that much of an issue

And the UKSL4 works well when fitted on its ULCS bracket attached to the camera with a similar ULCS ball/clamp set-up as Frogfish uses. Interestingly the light costs less than the ULCS ball/clamp.....

Thanks for the reply.
Although i think that i will have to do something different for my D70 housing as the internal setup is a lot simpler than the A300 as there is no iTTL board. I have emailed blake at Aquatica to see what he says.

It took me a little while to get the D100/Subal and Inons working together properly. The issue was getting the correct plug connectors (there are four which lead to the two bulkheads) plugged into the correct PCB sockets in the housing. Once that was done, and I choose the correct switch setting on the actual strobe, I have never had a problem.
With the Subal for the D100 the 4 sockets are in two pairs on the housing PCB. One pair for each bulkhead. One socket of each pair is wired for 5 connections; the other for 3. I can't remember now if the Inon focussing and laser worked properly off the 3 or 5 wired socket - but I can open my system up to check if it would help you.
They do work really well and both the laser and focussing light are cut off when the shutter is fired. I have had no intermittent problems. Lucky me eh?

Also a note for photographers on certain animals at night -- one big favourite in particular, the beloved ghost pipefishes. At night these cuties get really disorientated with bright lights and strobes in their face. To get the best images of ghost pipefish best to leave them at night, go back in the day and shoot them, if you hassle them to much at night they may not be there the next day?
Another big favourite are those microscopic little beauties the pigmy sea horses. With these I would suggest not using mega bright lights for too long. As Scubadru found out on a night dive on the outer islands of Wakatobi island group -- they don't like bright lights for too long and have been known on quite a few occasions to let go of their grasp and simply fall down till they touch bottom, on walls, this may be a long way down and these little beauties can easily be eaten, never to be photographed again... If you are photographing pigmies try not to shoot them too much continuously, I have seen a group of 3 all fall to the bottom -- ahhhh!

Seem's that most folks here have decided in favour of Fisheye aiming light.
But since it cost's allmost as much as my P&S or Ike housing for it, it really is a bit much (obviously it might be the best choise for DSLR setup's).
Anyone had any experiences with Fantasea Line LED Nano Focus Light?
It costs only like 40 $, but does it give any light at all for that price?

For everyone: Sunday at midnight is the usual deadline for payroll submissions. Get your things together. This is an important deadline, as it's the last one which will provide a paycheck while you're still around campus. Especially if you won't be around Burlington, but generally for everyone, take special care in making sure to get all of your hours in with no issues. If you do any work next week, and you don't have direct deposit, you'll need to make arrangements to get your check.
For tutors returning in the fall: you should make sure to communicate to professors shortly after final grades are in about faculty recommendations for the fall. It's a lot easier for instructors to talk about you immediately after the class finishes, as opposed to after a long summer. Professors forget things too, so make it easy on them and send that link to them in May instead of September.
Remember, we are all done tutoring after Wednesday, May 1st. Tutoring will continue as usual through Wednesday, but we will not do any more tutoring during finals. That includes weekends and reading days.
Good luck on those early finals!
Many thanks,

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Israel on Sunday revealed that its security forces recently captured a Hamas terrorist cell operating out of Jerusalem's Temple Mount.
The five-man cell had been behind a string of recent stone and firebomb attacks on and around the Temple Mount. Nine Israeli police officers were wounded last month in one of the firebomb attacks.
Materials to make the firebombs were smuggled onto the Temple Mount by Arab children, whom the terrorists knew were less likely to be searched by Israeli security.
The terrorists said they were motivated by alleged Israeli efforts to "Judaize" the Temple Mount (hint: it is already Judaism's holiest site for well over 3,000 years).
They also took issue with so-called desecration of the Koran at the Temple Mount. The incident they were referring to involved an Israeli police officer who last month moved a chair, causing a Koran to fall onto the floor. (That last sentence is not a joke.)

Dustin Lance Black – The Advocate cover
If you've seen Milk, you know his work. If you watched the Oscars, you heard his speech. Dustin Lance Black, 35 years old, won the award Best Original Screenplay and stood up and delivered the following message:
"If Harvey had not been taken from us 30 years ago, I think he'd want me to say to all of the gay and lesbian kids out there tonight who have been told that they are less than, by their churches, by the government, or by their families, that you are beautiful, wonderful creatures of value and that no matter what anyone tells you, God does love you."
The award ceremony is over but Black's mission is not. He addresses his fight, The Fight, and discusses his post-Oscar experience, how his father's Mormon family reacted with shame, how the writing community has embraced and supported him, and what he's working on next.
It's a great read. And The Advocate's annual Pride issue featuring the list of "40 under 40" hits newsstands on May 19th.
Click here for the full article on Dustin Lance Black. He's dreamy.

(spoiler alert!) As I try to write these chapters about young Elizabeth English, my mental image of her gets confused. After my research trip to South Carolina, when I knew her as an old maid aunt of colonial Camden, I pictured her as tall, aloof, light brown hair always tucked neatly under her bonnet. The sailors on the Hitchcock would have noticed her high cheekbones and lovely face.
I somehow forgot that vision during my research trip to Ireland. When I found out that a very young (14-15) Elizabeth ran away and married either a Catholic or Church of Ireland member, I pictured her as petite, with long, black, wavy hair and green eyes.
About this point, my friends usually say, Oh, you know everybody got married young back then. Not my family. Elizabeth's parents, grandparents and aunt didn't marry until their mid-20s at least! That may have been the Quaker influence and not necessarily what the general population did. I gather from the records that Quakers believed in choosing one's own mate as opposed to arranged marriages - but that mate had better be a Friend, and everybody and their brother had to approve the match, a very lengthy process.
Back to my conundrum. I can't seem to write these new scenes without my petite, raven-haired beauty. But practically, those features do not run in my family (except the green eyes), and she would have worn a modest bonnet all the time. Will that image fit into the second book, when she lives the hard life of an American pioneer?
