The Word Carrier. VOLUME XXIX. HELPING THE RIGHT, EXPOSING THE WRONG. NUMBER <5. SANTEE, NEBRASKA. MARCH, 1900. FIFTY CENTS PER YEAR. OUR platform. For Indians we want American Education! We want American Homes! We want American Rights! The result of which is American Citizenship! And the gospel is the Power of God for their Salvation! THE GROWTH OF THE REMNANT. The history of God's Chosen People is an inexhaustible source of wisdom, of warning and promise, for all other peoples in these after ages. We often fail to make the right application because of our wrong point of view; we are looking for the wrong thing. But some lines of revelation through history run so plain that they cannot be mistaken. The doctrine of the survival and growth of The Remnant is one of these. Time and again the prophets have shown that the greatness and strength of the people was not in its lusty pride of numbers, of commercial schemes, or ot martial display. The real life of the nation was with a few. They were its conscience; conserved its morals; gave it spiritual existence. To give this spiritual germ opportunity to assert itself, it was often necessary to strip and peel the nation down to the core. This was the Divine Remnant. Yet this remnant was not looked upon as the last forlorn hope of the nation, but as full of promise, as bound to develop its potential forces now unfettered by the limitations of the bestial and ungodly nature. Thus after every great national downfall there is a quick up- springing recovery, and for awhile the dominance of a better life. And there is ultimate victory for The Remnant because it bears in itself the Divine Life. "It shall take root downward and bear fruit up ward." The hope of our Indian people does not lie in their universal salvation. Naturally and inevitably a large proportion of them will perish. They belong to the carnal mass which is unspiritualized and is without the germ of life. The same conditions exist in all communities and among all races. Only, when revolutionary crises come, then the destructive forces governing the un- spiritual mass have free play, until the inbred corruption is sloughed off. Generally the conservative forces of society carry all along without catastrophic break. The evil material drops out quietly as it is self-consumed. So also with the Indian tribes. In their aboriginal condition their life had its continued ebb and flow. For a period, under favoring conditions of health, abundance of food, and quiet, they would thrive, and their numbers and tribal force would increase. Then again the forays of enemies, famine, epidemic disease or a severe winter, and the weak and the aged first and then the young and strong would be cut off and numbers would dwindle and tribal existence be endangered. Nor in those days were the youth always wise and strong. Some were wilful and disobeyed the exhortations of their elders; and they paid the penalty. The difference between then and now is mainly in the speed- iness of their destruction. Our work is for the Remnant; but as we cannot certainly know who belong to it we must work for all. And our object must be the incoming and developing of the spiritual life on which the vitality, endurance, and recreative force of the Remnant depends. It does not consist in educated habits, ecclesiastical order, or political franchises. It is a divine vitalization. And with this there is abundant hope for the future of the Indian as well as other races. a new thought! "Does God say he will forgive me? Yes, that is true, He does help me when I ask him," she says; and my faith grows stronger, my heart lighter as I see the joy and peace God's word brings to this poor woman. Every night and morning she, and her husband, gather their children about them for prayers, and she tells how her heart is gladdened because even the tiny girl just beginning to talk will utter (?)

Since our Miss Brown died a little over a year ago, her former pupils have, with the assistance of Miss Voorhees, secured a large picture of her which now hangs in the parlor of the Birds' Nest. It is a water color portrait 14 x 17, made from a photograph by Mr. A. McFarlan, at Elmira, N. Y. It is a remarkably good likeness. The artist has caught her expression and made it more natural and lifelike than the original portrait. Twenty-three of her former girls contributed to the expense of the picture, taking eighty-seven of the one hundred and twenty shares. Others will no d<jubt take shares as they have opportunity. We rejoice that we have such an excellent and fitting memorial of our beloved Miss Harriet A. Brown. (?) * (?) * (?) * (?) * (?) * (?) -k (?) -tc (?) f (?) (?) * (?) (?) * (?) •k (?) * (?) TAWAC1NWASTEWIN. . When I hrst saw this woman she was sitting on the ground pounding cherries to make a paste which the Indians dry in the sun and afterward stew as we do dry fruit. Such a dirty, forlorn specimen of humanity as she sat there in her dirty Dakota gown, with her dirty,. pretty, black-eyed baby tied on her back. Tawacinwaltewin, or Lucy as we call her in English, is a natural leader, full of ambition. She was very guarded about accepting help at first or acknowledging that she did not know everything. This lack of confidence gradually disappeared and she came seeking more and more help. Her desire to know more of God's word became awakened; she studied it and pondered it. Hearing a verse read at prayer- meeting, she will go home and hunt for it. Sometimes failing to find it, she will come to me with her Bible wrapped carefully in a piece of cloth and ask me to find the verse. How her face lights up as she gains a sentence prayer, and the little boys will ask the blessing at the table. She has been the president of the woman's society during this last year. At every week's meeting she selects a few verses and explains them. Her prayers are talks to the Father, and the tears will come to our eyes as she asks for deliverance from the many temptations that surround us, for strength to cast away heathen customs and worship, and then she will piteously add : "0 God, our Father, strengthen us, for we of ourselves are not able to do anything." A year ago she began to fail very rapidly. We feared that she would not recover. As physically she lost, so spiritually she made marked progress. Finally, she grew stronger and she thanks God for answering her prayer and sparing her to her family. She has since then with increasing energy tried to lead her children in God's path, and plan and work that our women's society may be stronger and more efficient in Christian work. D. THE LITTLE ONES AT OAHE. The children seem to enjoy the class room work. I always enjoy teaching, especially when, as now, it seems but a direction of force. Since the first of the year I have been trying Ward's Rational Method of Reading. Superintendent Ward of the Brooklyn schools, an old friend of mine, sent me the books. I am every day surprised and delighted at the enthusiasm and progress of the first class in reading, both as regards recognition of words, expression, and almost unconscious mastery of spelling. I don't have to expend nervous force to enthuse them. But I have to let them whisper to me what they have discovered, so that each has a chance to make an individual discovery unaided. It is amusing to see these little slow, unemotional children jump up and down in delight and eagerness to tell what they know. They enjoy Speer's blocks too; and this is a great aid in making them talk. They don't whisper answers to me now. All our reading, language, spelling and writing is in connection with science work. We have good times and I think are learning something, oahe. s. n. j). B. Dodge. THE LITTLE ONES AT SANTEE. At the opening of school in October, the first grade room was of peculiar interest. Seventeen little people, ranging from six to ten years of age, with wide open eyes, full of wonder,were experiencing,the greater part of them, their first day at school. For the first few weeks, each one used his eyes and ears to good purpose, absorbing everything which came within their range. But the mouths ! They were sealed, to the teachers, at any rate. As time went on, however, tne children grew accustomed to hearing English, and began to pick it up themselves, with surprising quickness. Then were their tongues loosed, and no more urging was needed to persuade them to talk. After a few weeks, the first wonder and strangeness wore away, and we were ready for work. I have been surprised to find these ohildren as responsive as they are. When they came to Santee, by far the greater majorityof the first grade pupils knew absolutely no English. This is of course the great difficulty in the work with the youngest children. They are making very good head-way in this direction however. Their struggles for the right words are often amusing and at the time encouraging. As the days and weeks go by the gress of the children and their improvement in different ways are apparent. This is proof that they are becoming awake to the world about them,and is abundant reason for our hope that the outlook for their future is being made brighter and broader. Josephine M. Merrill. Miss Lydia Hartig visited Santee March 20-26 as the representative of the Vermont Ladies' Home Missionary Union. Her wide experience with all phases of missionary work makes her quick to see the significant points and she has fine success in catching them in her Camera.

I'm currently in Juba, South Sudan, and I want to share with you some of the amazing things I'm seeing and hearing from participants in our programs here.
As women in America, we can take so much for granted. We know how to count. We know how to read a street sign. Can you imagine what your life would be like if you could not do these basic things?
Yesterday, I was sitting in on a group meeting and watching as women wrote words like "chicken" in the dirt. The facilitator was drawing pictures, and the women were spelling out words that identified those crude drawings.
This may seem like a small accomplishment, but when a woman learns to count, read, write and save money, something shifts in the foundation of her household: The woman finds her voice, and the entire family benefits.
One man told me of the changes that have taken place in his own home since his wife has begun participating in the financial literacy and savings program we've established with our local partners.
"I want to sell a goat to buy some nails for building, but she [my wife] has to agree first," he said, adding, "Now you have to ask your wife even if you want to sell a chicken!"
What a testimony to the transformation that is taking place in households and communities all over South Sudan!
When a woman can read, write and count, she can know where she is going on the road. She can write her own name. She can follow directions on medicine packages. She can weigh in on financial decisions.
And she can learn how to save money and run very small businesses.
Ringing in my ear are the words of joy and hope from women with whom I have spoken.
"I can read a sign now, so I know where I am going."
"I can write my own name."
"You have brought us love and understanding at the same time."
As one man told me, "Change has come to the community." I can't wait to see more of this transformation in the coming days.
Our program director, Suzanne Schultz Middleton, is currently in South Sudan, and last week she e-mailed this photo of a child in a cattle camp near Malakal, in Upper Nile State.
In this area of South Sudan, families traditionally keep a permanent home in a small village-like setting and grow some crops nearby. Cattle are typically relegated to the plains and kept in cattle camps. In order to protect the animals from predators and raiders, herders and their families band together. These rough, temporary settlements are full of dust, cattle, dung, and insects. But they are not also without hope and joy.
Five Talents and its local partners, including the Diocese of Malakal, are overseeing the development of savings and financial literacy groups made up of women and men who live in or near the cattle camps.
Children, like this little girl, benefit when moms and dads are taught to read, write and count. Eventually, many of these adults graduate to savings groups, where they learn to manage money and develop a micro-enterprise that can help them provide for their family. One cattle camp has even seen the formation of a small church!
This photo of a gentleman carrying his savings group's blue "locked box" was featured in our brand new infographic, which we posted to the blog last week. The shot was taken by David Middleton for Five Talents shortly after a savings group wrapped up one of its regular meetings near a market in Lietnhom, South Sudan.
According to a recent survey of our savings group members in the village, 44 percent are involved in trade. Another 30 percent have a farming business. Savings groups like this one enable micro-entrepreneurs to safely build up cash reserves, access microloan capital, and receive training in basic business skills, like marketing and accounting.
Whether you are slinging coffee at the corner Starbucks or pouring hot tea under a tree in South Sudan, good customer service is crucial to success.
Teresa, a 45-year-old mother of five in Western Bahr el Ghazal State, South Sudan, learned this principle while taking a leadership course with one of our partners in South Sudan, World Concern.
Teresa runs a tea business in the shade of a tree near the Eastern Bank Market. Beyond building a loyal customer base through good service, she's also fulfilling her calling as a Christian by showing love and compassion for the people that God brings to her business.
Teresa first launched her tea shop with the help of a loan of 150 South Sudanese Pounds, or about US $50. Every customer who stops by gets not only a good cup of tea, but also a reminder that they are loved by God.
In one case, Teresa befriended a woman named Akec. Like many relationships, theirs started with some small talk and a few funny stories. Then, one day, Teresa invited Akec to attend a church event with her.
The Rev. Peter Garang, an ordained priest in the Episcopal Church of Sudan and an Economic Development Officer with World Concern, recalled what happened next.
"Mrs. Akec got convicted from a speaker who was preaching on God's love, and, as the result, she accepted Jesus Christ as her personal Savior," said Peter. "A few weeks later, she got baptized with her four children in Eastern Bank Parish. Five months later, one of her daughters became a Sunday School teacher in the Parish."
Around the same time, Teresa also began reaching out to a woman nicknamed "Anger" who was known in the community to have a struggle with alcoholism. This woman's behavior in the market was becoming a public spectacle. This broke Teresa's heart, so she began to speak with "Anger" about her problems.
Over time, the woman warmed to Teresa's advice and started attending church with her. Now, she and her five children have been baptized, and others in the community are marveling at her transformation.
Of course, besides reaching out to others – and serving tea – Teresa has needs of her own. She hopes to expand her business in 2013, and at the end of her conversation with Peter she offered up this prayer, which we want to share with you so that we can all join together in praying for Teresa and the women she has touched and will continue to touch through her business.
"May the Lord our shepherd who sees people's needs," she prayed, "bless my small business to grow well in the Eastern Bank area so that I can become a living example for my fellow workers and teach them to start their own businesses in our respective counties in Western Bahr el Ghazal State, South Sudan."
Perhaps you already have 5 books on your must-read list for 2013. Or maybe you have more like 50. Either way, we hope you'll read at least a couple of the following picks over the next 12 months. We're recommending titles that approach poverty from a variety of perspectives. Whether you are a development specialist or someone who simply loves a good story, we have you covered.
The Dragon's GiftIf you're interested in Africa and would like to learn more about the aid and investments that are flowing into the continent, then Deborah Brautigam's The Dragon's Gift is a must-read. The author has spent decades studying China's investment and aid packages to African governments. Besides offering a timely and ground-breaking analysis of China's activity on the continent, Brautigam also provides context so that we can understand how China's approach to aid and investment differs from that of the United States and other Western nations. For a great review of the book, click here.
Where China Meets IndiaIf you'd like to learn more about one of the countries where Five Talents works, we recommend this book about Myanmar (Burma). Last year, the Burmese government made news by launching a series of reforms, including a loosening of media controls and an embrace of democratic elections. What was once one of the most closed societies in the world was suddenly opening its doors to the West and inviting investment to help spur development. Where China Meets India, by Thant Myint-U, is an engrossing travelogue that shows just how fast Myanmar is changing.
A Free ManIf you want to read a profile of an individual who is struggling to escape a world of poverty, look no further than Aman Sethi's A Free Man. The author, a correspondent for The Hindu, focuses his non-fiction narrative on the life of a homeless day-laborer in Delhi, India. The fast-paced story takes the reader into a world that few of us in the West have ever seen. Esther Duflo, co-author of Poor Economics (another great book that we have written about), calls Sethi's book "a beautiful work of journalism," adding: "What starts as classic ethnography becomes a gripping story, and ends as a homage to a lost friend."
Through the Eye of a NeedleIf you enjoy history and would like to learn more about the early church and Christians' view of wealth and poverty, read Peter Brown's acclaimed Through the Eye of a Needle: Wealth, the Fall of Rome, and the Making of Christianity in the West, 350-550 AD. Brown, a respected historian, excels at evoking the life of the ancients through colorful prose and through profound readings of saints like Ambrose, Augustine and Jerome. As Christianity Today puts it, Brown lets us "hear the heartbeat of late Roman and early Christian civilization."
When Helping HurtsIf you'd like to learn about how the Christian church has helped – and hurt – the cause of the impoverished around the world, then pick up Steve Corbett and Brian Fikkert's When Helping Hurts: How to Alleviate Poverty Without Hurting the Poor...and Yourself. The book was re-released in 2012 with a new foreword and two new chapters. Readers interested in learning more about the philosophy that informs Five Talents' approach to micro-enterprise development will find this book particularly helpful.
Last week, we shared the story of Adon (middle), a micro-entrepreneur in Kuajok, South Sudan who adds value to the ground nuts she grows by roasting them, grinding them up and turning them into paste. Adon is putting her children through school by selling this peanut paste, and she has become a model for others in her savings and loan group.
Here, Adon is attending one of the group meetings in Kuajok.
When Five Talents Program Director Suzanne Schultz Middleton spent some time with Adon earlier this year, she came away feeling delighted about her story.
"When I see someone who is doing tailoring in the market, who is adding value [like Adon], it makes me smile," said Suzanne. "They see the value in what God has given them. And they're doing something with their own hands, as opposed to getting second-hand clothes from Uganda or food from Kenya and just changing the location of that good. There's nothing wrong with those businesses. But, to me, there's just something really hopeful about working hard and making something from what you have."
If you were to travel with one of us on a program visit, we would inevitably take you to a local marketplace to meet a few of our micro-entrepreneurs. As we walked past market stands, we'd tick off the types of products being sold: bananas, potatoes, second-hand clothing, cups of tea.
Many micro-entrepreneurs sell products that have been purchased in bulk or grown on their own plot of land. Some, though, take an existing product – or a discarded one – and refashion it in some way in order to add value.
We've written about Reech, a micro-entrepreneur in Wau, South Sudan who takes old mosquito nets and turns them into rope.
We've shown you the children's sweaters that Marta sews in Peru.
During Program Director Suzanne Schultz Middleton's last trip to South Sudan, she met Adon (R), a woman in a Five Talents savings and loan group who was selling peanut paste at a market in Kuajok.
"In South Sudan, a lot of people are bringing goods in. That's how they add value -- just by transporting things. But this woman had cultivated some ground nuts, what we call peanuts, and she'd turned them into paste (peanut butter) and sold it," said Suzanne (L). "Through her own work she had added value."
The end of the year is fast approaching. But the road out of poverty is long and hard.
In order to continue meeting our commitments to micro-entrepreneurs in places like Bolivia, South Sudan and Myanmar, Five Talents needs your support.
For an example of how your generosity can change a whole community, look no further than this project in Malakal, South Sudan, where over 10,000 participants have been given what is often their first opportunity to become literate and numerate.
For stories of individual lives transformed, look no further than those of Rosma in the Philippines, Narcisa in Peru, and Roda in Sudan.
Here are five ways you can make a tax-deductible donation and help us keep these women – and tens of thousands of others – on the road out of poverty:

Post subject: Will McCammon's Starline 2500 Minis Workbench
Since I am finally getting my workshop room and benches set up, it's time to get my plans in-order for what I'm going to do on my Starline 2500 minis.
One ship that didn't quite hit where I personally wanted it to was the DW war destroyer. It's a great mini, but there were some niggling things that bugged me and I decided to choose my battles and stop carping about them, during development/reviews.
Now, with my own copies on my own bench, I can do anything I want.
My main issue is that the bridge dome is too small.
It's in proportion to the "B/C deck / command decks" teardrop (the bulge beneath the bridge) that are similar to the tv ship cruiser.
However, the DW is a much smaller ship. People (and the fairly standardized size of a Federation bridge) don't scale down. The bridge can't be that small (and wasn't on the FF frigate). So, I'm going to file it off and make new ones sized more like those on the FF.
I haven't decided how I'll fabricate these yet. I might turn them out of styrene rod, using the Dremel as a small lathe. I might also 3D print them, but they are so small they're below the size the printer I have access to is good at.
The "neck" for the center engine was the other thing I just feel the need to change. The prior art and the Starline 2400 mini show a much longer "strut/dorsal-neck". The SL2500's is kind of stubby and puts the center engine's bussard collector behind the sensor dish.
With it pulled in so tight to the main saucer hull, the ship looks too much like the NCA new heavy cruiser.
So, I'll cut the existing neck off at a convenient panel line and replace it with a new one fabricated from styrene bar stock, with brass pins to reinforce the connecting joints to the ship and the engine.
For both the struts and the bridge domes, I'll probably be making one master of each and then gang-casting copies in resin (along with a deckhouse enlargement piece for the Klingon D5W and a replacement deckhouse for the F5W).

Thanks, guys.
This is the weekend where I get the workbenches assembled. Hopefully I can start cutting on minis before running out of weekend.

Got my box of goodness from ADB.
All in all, the new batch of Starline 2500 minis turned out really well. The Feds all look uniformly great. Love how the DNL and BB turned out - tickled to see "my drawings" made reality in metal. Sandrine really hit a home run with these two.
The Klingons also turned out nice. The E-5 is far and away superior to the Starline 2400 version. I had some good ideas in my suggestion drawing and Mongoose chose to follow it, but also added some details (like the "winglets") that really made the ship work. For such a bizarre design, it actually looks really, really cool. Also, SURPRISE!, it's a one-piece mini!
The F-6 also turned out really well and again, I'm quite happy that Mongoose chose to stick very close to my drawings. I love the extended deckhouse. So much so, that I really wish I had stuck to my guns more on doing the same thing on the D5W. It really needed it and it looks great on the F-6.
The only (slight) bummer with the new batch is on the F5W, which is the mini closest to my heart (I did the original "sculpt" for the Starline 2400 version).
Something went wrong, somewhere along the line, and the deckhouse geometry is too small. It has different details than the E-4 or F-5 deckhouses, but is definitely smaller, rather than exactly the same size as the F-5's, as it should have been.
Most folks won't notice or care. It's really only noticeable when you put the minis right next to each other.
Me, I'm a detail-nut, so I'll fix it on mine by cutting and filing it off and replacing it with new ones cast from a mold I'll pull of an F-5.

Colorado defenseman Jan Hejda sparked the scoring sequence with a drive from the left point that caromed off of Niemi in front at 12:13.
The two teams failed to convert late power plays during a period in which San Jose outshot Colorado 16-11.
NOTES: Jason Demers replaced injured defenseman Brent Burns on San Jose's blue line. Rookie defenseman Matt Irwin was recalled from AHL affiliate Worcester, but was a healthy scratch. Tommy Wingels did not dress as well as the Sharks' checking forward nurses an undisclosed injury sustained in the final game on Sunday in Dallas of San Jose's 1-4-1 road trip. ... Forward Ryane Clowe served the first of a two-game suspension. He will miss Thursday's visit by Detroit and will be eligible to return on Saturday against visiting Nashville. ... Colorado was without leading scorer Matt Duchene, who sustained a groin injury Sunday in Anaheim. ... Colorado came into the game winless in its previous 12 during the regular season against San Jose (9-0-3). ...

Reality TV show, Chuck Zito breathe new life into Clifton bar
CLIFTON HEIGHTS — The bar formerly known as Tailgaters has been in the spotlight before, but not for the reason it wanted.
The spotlight was shining on it and in it this week and this time the attention was quite welcome.
The bar has changed its name to 60 East as it sits on the corner of 60 East Baltimore Pike. And while the bar was in the midst of changing its inside appearance in recent weeks, it got some unexpected good news.
Philadelphia TV company Stage 3 Productions is developing a reality series based on the concept of the 1989 movie "Road House." Only instead of "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition," this will be something more like bar makeover, though no official title has been given to the show.
As it turned out, 60 East is the first bar for the potential show and will be on the pilot episode. The TV crew finished shooting scenes there earlier this week and the show's star is celebrity tough guy Chuck Zito, who has been in several TV shows and movies and has been a body guard for celebrities.
Now, 60 East may get a little time in the spotlight for the right reason.
"I was totally shocked," said bar manager Shannon Murphy of hearing the news about the show coming. "I thought it was great opportunity for us."
That opportunity will be to showcase how the bar has changed. It was about 5½ years ago that the bar was part of a major undercover drug bust operation, so much so that the bust was called Operation Tailgater by county police.
"We want everybody to know this place is not what it used to be," Murphy said. "We have new people in here now and like our sign says, it's a whole new attitude. This is something to have Chuck Zito here this week. He's been super nice to us."
Zito's role in the show will be similar to Patrick Swayze's in "Road House." Continued...
"Stage 3 is in Philly and they wanted to use a Philly-area bar," Zito said Friday afternoon. "I've had a nice time in Philadelphia this week. We had the history of this bar and we decided to come here and to help turn it around. We found in a place in transition and we decided to choose this place."
Some of the inside changes include moving the pool tables into the back of the bar, and making the pool room into a music room with a stage. Also, the wall between the bar and what is now the music room is mostly gone. Murphy said bands can call the bar if they are interested in performing and that she's particularly looking for a country band on occasion.
Also, for sports fans, there are now 13 TVs throughout the bar, including about a 130-inch screen in the music room. The plan is to show big sporting events such as the Super Bowl and Flyers games on the big screen, now that the NHL is back after a 113-day lockout.
While the setup is different, Murphy says so are the people.
"We have a different clientele now," she said. "If we find you with drugs, you are gone. We will call the cops."
The hours for 60 East are 3 p.m. to 2 a.m. Monday-Wednesday and 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesday-Sunday.

Intel's The Creators Project Brings Tech, Art, and Music to San Francisco
The Creators Project, a revolutionary partnership between Intel and Vice magazine, invaded San Francisco's waterfront Fort Mason Center this weekend with an extravaganza of tech-driven art, film, music, artist talks, panel discussions, and creative workshops. Dedicated to supporting artists in realizing their creative visions through technology, the event was an astounding showcase of mind-tripping, interactive installations that entertained geeks and art lovers alike. And since no good fest is complete without dance-demanding, fist-pumping beats, much-anticipated LCD Soundsystem alumni James Murphy, Pat Mahoney, and Nancy Whang, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and Squarepusher also headlined a 10-act musical lineup. The project, which has united more than 150 artists from around the world in its three-year history, drew more than 25,000 attendees over two days.
Didn't make it to the event? Watch out for it this year when it returns to Paris, São Paulo, Beijing, Seoul, and New York. But first, experience it all vicariously with a few awe-inspiring photos and glimpse some of the impressive artwork that was shown.

Of all the menswear advertisements in the media these days I like the Polo Purple Label ads best, for their use of color and pattern if not for the extreme cut of the clothes themselves. The pocket square in the first photo is a spectacular choice.
The stylist(s) who did the campaign were well grounded in the past. In the photo, a brown dinner jacket a la Noël Coward.
The once common scarf worn in lieu of a necktie on less formal occasions, though I could do without the shirt collar.
And my personal favorite, a leather jacket and cardigan combination that recalls a portrait of the late Prince Serge Obolensky.

This is a video for the contest "I love korea, because..." Thanks for this opportunity. 안녕하세요 반갑습니다 제 이름은 안젤리크입니다 저는 푸에르토리코인입니다. Hello everyone, my name is Angelique and I'm from Puerto Rico. Why I love korea so much? well, I love Korea, because... Since I was little I loved asian culture but how I came to love Korea? many people ask me that question, Why korea? What do you love so much about it? Well It all started with k-dramas a couple of years ago when a friend told me to watch a korean drama that was on TV. (thank you michael if you are watching this) and when I get to my house and saw the beauty of this drama, I fell in love. It was so different from what I was used to see on TV, so romantic and beautiful. And so I became addicted to k-dramas.. Then I was interested to learn more about the culture, It was so different but when I started to study the culture, I felt identified with koreans. my way of thinking about life was almost the same as them and I was smiling, happy that in this same planet there're people so respectful and nice. And of course the beautiful language, the first time I heard that language it sound good to me ears so I was interested to learn that language and when I start to study I found that korean have different ways to say things like the formal and the casual form... and I don't know why but I loved that. so I learned all the Hangeul and its story . I started to take online courses of basic korean (well I'm ...

In a surprising pre-season, pre-camp article published yesterday in the weekly Cheesemaker supplement of the Green Bay Press-Gazette and Sheep Husbandry Journal, Packers Head Coach Mike McCarthy announced that the Green and Gold have asked the NFL to cancel both 2012 games with their long time rivals the Chicago Bears.
Coach McCarthy was quoted as saying, "They have an offense now and by God we were barely able to beat them when they didn't. We just feel that now it will be impossible to do so. For the sake of salvaging the rest of our season and to spare our players the damage that two embarrassing losses will do to their already fragile psyche's we've just sent a telegram to the NFL offices in New York informing them of our desire to forfeit both contests ahead of time. Those guys are gonna be just too tough to beat and we only want to play teams we know we can win against."
The Packers have also asked that the Giants be eliminated from their schedule until 2034.
It's expected that the NFL will reschedule those weeks for the Packers either with games against Miami and Arizona or with two more NFCN games against the Lions and the Vikings. Word out of Green Bay is that the Packers prefer playing Miami and Arizona since they're not even sure they're good enough to beat the Vikings and Lions more than once this year and will only play them a third time if those games are played in Lameblow Field where homer officiating is usually the norm.
In other Packer news it's been rumored that Packer GM Ted Thompson was seen meeting last evening in the bar of Kroll's Restaurant with former Packer great Brett Favre in an attempt to induce the future HOF QB to un-retire one more time and lead the Pack back to their former glory.
Ted was overheard telling Brett that he just didn't feel that Aaron Rodgers and his guys had what it takes to overcome the Bears offseason resurgence and in the event the NFL won't reschedule those Bears games the services of that "Bears Killer" of old may be needed.
"There's $25 mil for one year in it for you and you don't even have to show up for camp or throw one ball during the preseason if you don't want to. Aaron and his backups can handle that for you. We just want you to play the Bears games for us if the NFL won't cancel them like we asked them to and you know, maybe show young Aaron how it's done."
"Between those Bears games you can take a rest, grab some pine and flash your pecker at Erin Andrews on the sidelines for all we care but we're desperate Brett and this is a very solid offer." "So get back to me on this as soon as possible OK?"
I swear to God it went down just this way.

text: Willie Vogt Archives Email Author Follow @Willie Vogt Towers, Towers Everywhere RTK is getting more commonplace these days, should you consider it? Published on: December 18, 2009 Tweet Post to Your Wall. Email Blog RSS Permalink Print As automatic guidance systems gain in popularity, a lot of readers may find they want more precision and repeatability. In that case, most will tell you that RTK - for real-time kinematic - is the way to go, and the price is falling. Many of you have probably heard of the RTK tower networks that have been popping up? Set on the highest spot in an area, these network towers usually have a 12-mile radius range and provide the differential signal so that you can be very precise running equipment. In the past, the portable antenna provided that fixed signal. While those could be expensive, they still have their place. Yet as tower networks grow in number and coverage, more producers are likely to sign up for a subscription. Oh, yes, there's a subscription charge. GPS is a great tool, but nearly worthless on the farm without a differential signal (we even used to call on-farm systems DGPS or differential). That signal comes for a fixed-location source - like a geo-stationary satellite or a coast guard antenna or a Wide Area Augmentation System tower. For RTK, the precision is higher because that fixed signal is no farther than 12 miles from your machine, and the receiver on the farm gets a better reading. To get that differential signal - and all higher-precision signals have a fee (WAAS and Coast Guard signals are free, but not as precise) - you pay a subscription for each receiver you have on the farm. Most dealers and service providers with an RTK differential tower network have a fee structure that offers a discount for multiple receivers on one farm. And if you set your receivers up so they can be moved easily, that helps too. As the winds of winter whip across your farm (and for my warmer-climate readers, as the cooler days appear) it's probably time to consider how you want to maximize GPS technology on your farm. If it's time to move to higher precision equipment operation - for steering or other specialty operations - RTK may be the way to go. Whether you get that differential signal from a free service, a satellite or the local tower network, start with your dealer first. Service remains an important part of keeping these tools working on your operation and the major-brand dealers have systems in place.

Recommended Education & Classes by Groupon Customers
Led by linguistic anthropologist Dr. Jill Bishop, Multilingual Chicago's international staff of instructors immerses 6–10 students at a time in one of more than a dozen foreign languages, including French, Arabic, Spanish, and Mandarin. During each session, classmates master a new vocabulary through a host of activities that transcend rote memorization. They might role-play, or translate snippets of movies. They might read excerpts from a country's great works of literature or unusually lyrical parking signs. The instructors delve even further into each language's respective culture by always making time to converse about specific foods, holidays, and folk traditions. Students can loosen vocal cords before class with sips of complimentary tea, coffee, and wine in Multilingual Chicago's café. Check the schedule for available courses—not all languages are offered every session.
Give a guy a fish, and he'll eat for a day (assuming it's one ginormous fish); teach a guy to make perfect sushi rolls, and he'll still mooch all your fish, but hey, free sushi. Today's Groupon can save you from embarrassing Thanksgivings, disastrous dinners with in-laws, and foolhardy tamale-making face-offs. For $45, you get $85 toward a cooking class at Kendall College on Goose Island. Though most classes cost $85, you can also use it toward one of Kendall's pricier classes or for you and a friend to attend a lower-cost class; just pay the difference (you must use your Groupon all at once).
With baskets full of hand-plucked, wild blueberries, Vincent Colombet and his cousins happily crammed into their Alsatian grandmother's tiny kitchen. In that quaint room, equipped with only a wood-burning cast-iron stove, Vincent learned over the years how to tuck berries into pies, prepare meats sourced from neighboring farms, and eventually produce elaborate meals for his entire family.
Driven by his passion for French family-style cuisine, he traveled to Paris before a longing for experiences abroad tugged him across the pond and into the arms of the Windy City in 2004. The following year he opened Cook Au Vin, where he leads three-hour BYOB cooking classes centered around classic techniques and organic ingredients. Patrons may also enlist the Cook Au Vin team to cater special events, or swing by Colombet's Logan Square bakery, La Boulangerie, for butter-infused inhalations, freshly made crepes, and crusty baguettes.
Big City Swing's mantra is to be fit, be fun, and be social, and it conquers all three of these goals by teaching dance styles that stem from the social clubs of the Prohibition era. Within the spacious ceilings and exposed brick walls of the studio, instructors delve into swing dance and Lindy Hop styles characterized by twirling, leg kicks, and lightning-fast rhythms.
Courses are taught in a four-week series or single-session workshops that also cover styles such as Balboa, the Charleston, and blues. Students seeking more individualized attention can schedule a private lesson or eschew the tradition of the post-nuptial hokey pokey by enrolling in the wedding-dance program. In addition to studio and onsite instruction, Big City Swing's professional team also performs choreographed numbers at special events. Free street parking is available near the studio.
At The ComedySportz Theatre, audience suggestions keep an all-ages, family-friendly and fast-paced vortex of scenes, games, and songs spinning in competitive shows that pit two improv teams against each other. Inside the intimate, 149-seat theater, spontaneity rules as a referee moderates the all-ages-appropriate hilarity pitched between the Chicago Bosses and The Evanston Express. At the end of each comedic duel, the points and audience votes are tallied to determine the winning team, sentencing the losers to feed the doves that live inside the winners' top hats.
ComedySportz's seasoned instructors also host regular workshops to teach aspiring yuksters the art of improvised hilarity and the essential virtues of spontaneity, risk taking, and engagement with the moment. Through scene work, ComedySportz games, and short- and long-form improv, students learn to keep audiences roaring in order to jump-start a career or become a more affable bank robber.
Chicago Photography Academy hones photographic eyes and bulks up shutter-snapping fingers through a host of short-term and intensive classes geared to all skill levels. Students can gauge their education by personal interests and schedule, hunkering down for a one- or two-day crash course or leisurely learning during a six-hour compact-digital class that frees cameras from the yoke of automatic settings. Instructors impart a working knowledge of photo-editing software during lightroom classes, whereas introductory video sessions teach how to shoot realistic video of faked moon landings. Students can build the skills necessary to snap stunning wedding photos, or immerse themselves in the CPA's colorful curriculum with a one-year certificate program in photography, which combines all of the school's classes into one linear progression. Classes include all necessary supplies for printing images, and do not require shutterbugs to purchase additional lenses or retro fedora hats.

Another week down... Time moves too quickly. I wont have a new comic for a few days. I spent this last week working on the next short, which was very successful. Not to build it up, but I think it looks fantastic. Ha! I'm sure that makes all the people waiting for the next release real happy. "Hey it looks great, that's wonderful, just release it already!" The answer is, all in due time. It's not finished yet, and too many things are in motion right now to even talk about specific release dates. But at least you can be happy knowing lots of work is going into current progress. Other News: I got some practice painting in this weekend as well. I don't know if this is final or not, but I like the way it turned out so far. [url=http://simplecap.deviantart.com/art/Staircase-114374636][img]http://th08... [/url] that's all I've got to report for now. Watchmen will be out soon, which we will be sure to give our report on when it's here. I am very excited to see the movie myself.

Of course Tommy still doesn't exsist. He's the Brad Pitt to Daniel's Edward Norton.
Of course we are still Watsons... this is our home. We are Watsons... hear US roar!
You don't have a Little Red Death Action Figure? I got the mommy ninja version with Baby Jack included just before it's discontinuation. ;P
Been off for a week. Just saw the announcement (and supercool trailer)
Congratulations. Yay starz... Congratulations to you too.
And the trailer is so awesome. Shia double feature, huh (transformers and indy)... i can't wait. He's got it coming...
Congratulations HISHE!
What i'm afraid of is that you guys will run out of ideas (which is impossible because there is tons of movies and you guys are great at making these things up) Must be hard trying to make up new ones every month.
Fantastic news, HISHE! Congratulations. I've been in 'lurker' mode for the summer, basically just popping in to see if your mysterious news had been unveiled, and then popping out again (hard to stay inside when the sun is shining... especially when it only really shines like this 2-3 months a year! ;)
SO looking forward to seeing what you've hinted at - I have every confidence it's going to be great! Enjoy this new chapter (HISHE full-time, that's gotta be fun!), and keep up the good work.
Hey everyone, this has been a very busy last 3 weeks and I just wanted to take a second to thank you all who have been sticking with us throughout this whole ordeal! This changeover process has been extremely slow, but even before all of this ever started you all have been here with us through thick and thin. And that means the world to me.
Thank you for being such great people!
When I read comments on our vids and catch some of the negative feedback like "you guys never make videos!" or "one a month is all you got???" or thanks for nothing" it always cuts me a little. But when I come here and see the people who have been around since almost the beginning and even the people still new but are contributing despite the lack of content I've been able to produce in the last year, it really makes me feel happy.
The announcement has had severe positive feedback on YouTube, and that makes me extremely excited to finally get our next video online because I KNOW HISHE people are going to love it, but you guys here are the true involved fans. You guys actually come to the website and reach out to us. And I don't think you'll know how much that encourages us. me especially.
It's been quiet around here lately I know. but that is because we've had our nose to the grind. seriously.
My plan is once Starz releases Terminator, and I'm further in the zone with the new production schedule, that I can begin act two (if you can call it that) of the zombie series and have comics again like we used to along side our animation.
It will happen, I'm just having to learn to be patient and do things one step at a time. which again, brings it all back to the HISHE family. or Fanmily. is that too dorky to say? Fanmily? yeah, that's dumb. back to the WATSONS, I mean! Thank you again for staying with us and being such great contributors.
I'm taking this job very seriously, and I don't want to let yall down.
That's the update :)
I know what you meant deathtime. I just thought it would sound funny.
three cheers for danile!!!
.................sssssppppppssss..........hey animal...............who's danile? :wink:
Tina is actually going to be a guest voice for the Twilight HISHE, so we had to work around her schedule and travel plans in order for her to record. It all worked out great making her voice debut virtually painless, but she is the first person to actually fly in from out of state to be a voice in our short.
She is the first person to actually fly in from out of state to be a voice in our short?
One of these days ... one of these days...
It's true. I like to joke that I waited 22 cartoons to do a voice just so I could say I came in from out of town to do it. But I don't know...I still own a house in Dallas, so it's not nearly as cool as if someone else from out of state did a voice. You are closer now right? ;) Someday...
Yep, that's pretty cool - congrats! And here's hoping you win - it would be much deserved.Not only are you guys working pretty hard, but I'm guessing Starz is working hard for you behind the scenes, getting the word out, too! ;)

Last month Westminster Fibers/Free Spirit sent me this stack of Loulouthi voiles to play with (thank you!), and I happily whipped up a quilt with them.
For the front, I used an almost whole cloth method as I loved that citrusy floral print and the way the pale blue solid framed the field of flowers.
The back became a crazy, improv patchwork of pattern. I must admit, I changed my mind plenty of times before settling on this. The back is BUSY but kinda fun and in the end, it was liberating to slice and dice and sew back together different pieces of the puzzle.
A little free-motion quilting and wha-la!
This quilt is the perfect summer weight as it is so light and airy. No matter what the weather, I like a cover when on the couch or reading on my bed and this is the perfect quilt for doing just that.
But this quilt is not for me. I made it with my lovely Grandmother in mind for her 95th birthday. 95 y'all! That's impressive. She's a fabulous lady, still very sharp, and I am happy to say she loved it. It's her summer quilt (she has a winter one from me) and it's already getting lots of use and love. We had her 95th birthday party last week, and I was pleased as could be to give it to her in person. I love her dearly.
I loved sewing with voiles so much that I have ordered a stack of Little Folks voiles for a quilt for me. I think it would be perfect on the end of our bed.
Here are some thoughts and things to know about sewing with voiles:
- Voiles are buttery soft, a little sheer and very light-weight.
- They would make heavenly pillowcases, and I am thinking of using voile for my Tova tunic.
- I didn't find that I needed to pin any more than usual when piecing, which was a relief. Pinning = not my fave.
- It did seem a bit slippery when sewing on the binding but that was it.
- I quilted as I normally would but did change to a new needle first.
- You can read more about voiles from Anna Maria Horner.
So what about you? Have you sewn with voiles before? What did you think? If not, have I convinced you yet?

Or so the graffiti on the wall at my local Borders advised when I visited yesterday.
Actually, it couldn't have been more fitting (the quote, not the graffiti) as interesting quotes had been on my mind. To explain - when I was in a waiting room last week, I had happily settled down with an old edition of GQ when I stumbled across an article about the '100 best things ever said'. I was so engrossed in the article I asked if I might be able to borrow the magazine for a bit. Luckily, I was kindly advised that I could keep it.
After pouring over all of the marvellous quotes, it occurred to me that all of these quotes had similar themes, as they were, in some form or another, all about the joy of life, dreams and the road to success.
As someone who has recently started my own business, reading these quotes was more than interesting – and in many ways, I believe if I had read these quotes two years ago, they would have had a totally different meaning to what they have now.
Surprisingly, I had no comprehension of how starting my own business would change every aspect of my life. Naïve yes, but the ensuing life change has been a happy windfall on my part.
I have found myself looking at the whole world with new eyes. An interesting concept, considering I had never thought that there was anything wrong with the way I viewed the world to begin with. But suddenly it has become larger, more interesting and less intimidating. Maybe all I have done is to simply grow up, but whatever it is, I'm rather enjoying it.
But now – back to the quotes. Whittling down my favourite quotes from this list of 100 was quite a challenge. I tried to reduce it to the three, but I felt the following six quotes were the most poignant. Well, for me, anyway.
"Only those who are to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly."
Robert F. Kennedy
"The true fruits of successful living are not material. They are contentment, the joy of usefulness and growth through the development of our own particular talent."
Conrad Hilton.
'My brain is the key to setting my mind free.'
Harry Houdini
"You have to find something that you love enough to be able to take risks, jump over hurdles and break through the brick walls that are always going to be placed in front of you. If you don't have that kind of feeling for what it is you're doing, you'll stop at the first giant hurdle."
George Lucas
"Everything you can imagine is real."
"Continuous effort – not strength or intelligence – is the key to unlocking our potential."
Sir Winston Churchill

The Coming Shifts and California Prediction, given 9/11
The morning of Sept. 11th, 2011 I received a prophetic vision at approximately 7 a.m. (MST), the same time of day and exactly 10 years to the day of the events now known as 9/11. I am going to share this vision with you and end with the significant confirmations that followed.
It all began at an extraordinary underwater lake where I believe my vibration level was being prepared to receive the communications that follow. It was a pristine environment unknown to all but a very few, underneath another body of water that seemed like somewhere in the United States. From this hidden location I was then taken to a scene in the near future. It was an urban location where I met a race of extra-terrestrial beings who had the appearance of humans on earth, only a bit small. These beings communicated to me a number of things. First, they explained that soon they would be living among us on this planet and would be inter-mingled with earth humans. Our races would mix.
The vision continued, and at this point I was able to gain a number of insights without anything needing to be explained to me. I believe that I was brought into a vibration level where I was able to access greater knowing.
One understanding was about the people who I had seen perish. I understood that the earth is on the path of advancement and no one who tries to interfere will succeed, even if it means they have to leave the planet via the loss of their physical body. No individual will be allowed to stop or otherwise deter the changes that are coming. This is apparently what these particular individuals had intended to do: essentially attempt to carry out ulterior agendas that were not in accordance with what is making its' way to earth energetically.
What is coming is also something I was able to assimilate. The advancement we are already now experiencing and will continue to experience at an accelerating pace means advancement on every level. No level left behind. We are reaching a level of "evolution" that means we will love each other, take care of each other, possess new abilities and a heightened experience of peace and well being, plus the technology to accomplish it all. We cannot imagine the level of sophistication and bliss on the way, but we will be able to!!! This is all part of a new vibration .
The feeling I had from these beings who are helping to usher our planet in to this coming time is a kindness the depth of which I have rarely experienced on this earth. It does remind me, however, of something familiar, something my soul recognizes and that is intrinsic to who I am: something before birth.
Next, I got a glimpse of some kind of record of events in future. A list. Not like predictions, but like a record of history, only future. I could not see what was written and for some reason it did not seem important to me at the time. Funny, because prediction is my occupation here on earth! Nonetheless, as the communications were ending and I was returning to my more or less regular state, the following words came strong and clear:
"Thirty thousand souls will languish at Laguna Beach." It is either within the next year (1 year from Sept. 11, 2011) or it is sometime in 2012. I got the message of "next year," not being able to discern from the two time lines mentioned. My feeling is that it will be somewhere between Jan. 2012 and Sept. 2012.
I am sorry to have to say this and realize it will not be pleasing to many. It was given to me. I have the responsibility to let it be known. I trust it will help the people who need it.
⢹ ⢸ ⢫ ⣖
The following confirmations occurred regarding the above vision:
- The vision occurred on the morning of the 10-year anniversary of 9-11. From what I can deduce, it actually occurred at the same time as the crashes occurred.
- Of all mornings, it happened to be the morning that my pre-taped predictions for the coming age were being aired on the radio. I woke to my interview with Allan Hutner, Transitions Radio 98.1 out of Santa Fe, NM. Directly following the interview, my own pre-taped weekly forecast, "Oracle Speak" came blasting out of the stereo. The forecast was derived from the Queen of Clubs (Queen of Vision.) Not more than a couple of hours after receiving the vision, I listened to my own voice telling myself, "Pay attention to your dreams and learn to look beyond your current reality. Use the power represented to envision what is possible."
- As I sat at the computer writing the vision down, my husband and mother-in-law called frantically from the kitchen window where a large hawk perched not more than six feet from our kitchen sink. We watched this marvelous creature at close range for probably 2 or 3 minutes before it flew off, leaving 2 feathers as a gift. In indigenous cultures, hawks are messengers from the invisible Spirit realm, bringers of vision and psychic knowing.

My wife and I are considering a trip to Morocco in October or November. May or may not happen, depending on several things.
In any case, I wonder about the glowing reviews that all Morocco tour operator and guides receive her on Fodors and TripAdvisor. Most of them are obviously bogus.
What we'll do is write several, feel out the vibes, ask for references, things like that, but wonder if any experienced Morocco travelers have advice on choosing an agency?

Have a look at boyrus Morocco Trip Report - Family of 7 for 7 days. Whatever co. they used seemed to be awfully good and reasonable.

Reading others trip reports is an excellent idea and contacting the travelers directly can also help you feel comfortable about your choice. We were in Morocco for 8 nights (Marrakech, Ouzarzate, Merzouga/desert, Fez). We used BlueMenofMorocco.com and really loved our driver/guide. Can highly recommend.
Here is a link to my trip report along with pictures:

We went on a trip in 2010 planned by Journey Beyond Travel - I chose them after doing a lot of research here and on tripadvisor. They have some suggested itineraries or you can customize your own. We really loved everything about the trip.
Here's my trip report if you're interested:

Haha, a brief look. I re-read mine yesterday and can't believe how I droned on and on. World's longest trip report probably.

I would recommend Morocco Unplugged.
Jalil benlili is the proprietor and I not praise him highly enough.
Do, do you research but the best way is to seek recommendations from people who have experienced.
Should you wish for Jalil's number and e-mail address let me know.

If one of you is over 50 I can recommend Eldertreks. Small accompanied groups plus local guides and drivers, comfortable accommodations, reasonable cost and enough activity to make it interesting without undue strain. Theirs was my first experience on a non-Europe trip and I've been back to Morocco now a number of times on my own as a result.

Thanks MmePerdu. We are over 50 and that Eldertrek tour looks like a nice itinerary. For now we have selected an outfitter who has been working with us on a customized tour, Morocco Explored.
We are very happy with their responses to our questions and setting the trip up. If we decide to go to Morocco (not certain yet) then we will use them.
But I'll make a note of Eldertreks for future consideration. -

If i was you i would not choose any of this companies, i would only work on my trip by myself and plan to hire a car and take a guidebook and a map enjoying the real Morocco by myself, and experience it much better and the driving too.
Have fun. Comments have been removed by Fodor's moderators

Nelson, did you finalize your trip? My husband and I (maybe with our daughter) are planning to go in Nov. also. Will appreciate any info you have. If our daughter decides not to go,maybe we can join to share the expenses? We have been travelling independently for the last 15 years and are from the east coast.

Our first choice destination on this trip was Egypt. Initially we decided to drop that due to current events but have decided to take a wait and see approach for the next few months. So currently Egypt is still first choice and Morocco is on on the back burner for the moment.
Morocco Explored was our first choice for an outfitter. Note that a long camel safari was a major part of the trip for us, not necessarily for everyone!
Good luck with your trip. -

there is so many highly recommended tours on TA other than Morocco Explore, read more on Tripadvisor Tours, and about this ones recommended here, they have other reviews there to make sure you have the right decision for your destinations.
