Click here for the text of the Bill of Rights.
The Bill of Rights derives from the Magna Carta (1215), the English Bill of Rights (1689), the colonial struggle against king and Parliament, and a gradually broadening concept of equality among the American people. Virginia's 1776 Declaration of Rights, drafted chiefly by George Mason, was a notable forerunner. Besides being axioms of government, the guarantees in the Bill of Rights have binding legal force. Acts of Congress in conflict with them may be voided by the U.S. Supreme Court when the question of the constitutionality of such acts arises in litigation.
The Constitution in its main body forbids suspension of the writ of habeas corpus except in cases of rebellion or invasion (Article I, section 9); prohibits state or federal bills of attainder and ex post facto laws (I, 9, 10); requires that all crimes against the United States be tried by jury in the state where committed (III, 2); limits the definition, trial, and punishment of treason (III, 3); prohibits titles of nobility (I, 9) and religious tests for officeholding (VI); guarantees a republican form of government in every state (IV, 4); and assures each citizen the privileges and immunities of the citizens of the several states (IV, 2).
Popular dissatisfaction with the limited guarantees of the main body of the Constitution expressed in the state conventions called to ratify it, led to demands and promises that the first Congress of the United States satisfied by submitting to the states 12 amendments. Ten were ratified. (The second of the 12 amendments, which required any change to the rate of compensation for congressional members to take effect only after the subsequent election in the House of Representatives, was ratified as the Twenty-seventh Amendment in 1992.) Individual states being subject to their own bills of rights, these amendments were limited to restraining the federal government. The Senate refused to submit James Madison's amendment (approved by the House of Representatives) protecting religious liberty, freedom of the press, and trial by jury against violation by the states.
Under the First Amendment, Congress can make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting its free exercise, or abridging freedom of speech or press or the right to assemble and petition for redress of grievances. Hostility to standing armies found expression in a guarantee of the people's right to bear arms and in limitation of the quartering of soldiers in private houses.
The Fourth Amendment secures the people against unreasonable searches and seizures and forbids the issuance of warrants except upon probable cause and directed to specific persons and places. The Fifth Amendment requires grand jury indictment in prosecutions for major crimes and prohibits double jeopardy for a single offense. It provides that no person shall be compelled to testify against himself, forbids the taking of life, liberty, or property without due process of law or the taking of private property for public use without just compensation. By the Sixth Amendment, an accused person is to have a speedy public trial by jury, to be informed of the nature of the accusation, to be confronted with prosecution witnesses, and to have the assistance of counsel. Excessive bail or fines and cruel or unusual punishment are forbidden by the Eighth Amendment. The Ninth Amendment protects unenumerated residual rights of the people, and by the Tenth, powers not delegated to the United States are reserved to the states or the people.
After the Civil War, slavery was abolished, and the Fourteenth Amendment (1868) declared that all persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to its jurisdiction are citizens thereof. It forbids the states to abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States, or to deprive any person of life, liberty, or property without due process of law. After 1924 the due process clause was construed by the Supreme Court as guaranteeing that many of the same rights protected from federal violation were also protected from violation by the states. The clause finally made effective the major portion of Madison's unaccepted 1789 proposal.

"Let Me See You Adopt One Of Those Ugly Black Babies"
One of the deeply ironic, dirty little secrets of liberals in this country is that they view black Americans as inferior.
So, why do they support Affirmative Action, then? Because they think black people are too stupid and incompetent to compete with white Americans on an even playing field.
Why do they oppose voter ID? Because they think black people are too stupid and incompetent to handle getting ID.
Why do they favor abortion? In part, because they believe it reduces the number of black Americans whom they see as inferior.
Eugenics was embraced by liberals; Margaret Sanger, the Founder of Planned Parenthood, explicitly advocated using abortion to reduce the number of black babies. The attitude on the Left hasn't changed much since then.
If you want to see it on display, here's abortionist Ron Virmani going back and forth with pro-life Christians and he says, "Let me see you adopt one of those ugly black babies."
Conservatives fight to keep black children alive. Liberals believe they're doing society a service by killing those same children in the womb.
Draw your own conclusions.

National advisory committees on immunization
The majority of industrialized and some developing countries have formally established national technical advisory bodies to guide immunization policies; other countries are working towards or contemplating the establishment of such bodies. These advisory bodies are often referred to as National Immunization Technical Advisory Groups (NITAGs). A NITAG is a technical resource providing guidance to national policy-makers and programme managers to enable them to make evidence-based immunization-related policy and programme decisions.
Information on NITAGs by country is available through the Observatory of the NITAG Resource Center. The Resource Centre is maintained by the SIVAC Initiative (see below) and its partners, and provides information, tools, and briefing materials for NITAGs and the global immunization community to improve evidence-based decision-making on vaccines and immunization at national level.

TVA proposes to retire Memphis' Allen coal plant
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — The Tennessee Valley Authority began seeking public comments Wednesday on a proposal to retire the coal-fired Allen Fossil Plant in Memphis and replace it with a natural gas facility.
The TVA said it has completed a draft environmental assessment looking at replacing the Allen plant. TVA spokesman Chris Stanley said the proposal is a step in the process of replacing the coal plant with a natural gas plant.
"It's the best way we can provide reliable, low-cost power in a diversified portfolio," Stanley said.
In May, TVA president and CEO Bill Johnson said the utility would make a decision on the future of the Allen plant sometime this year. The final decision rests with the TVA's board, which could vote on the proposal at an Aug. 21 meeting, Stanley said.
TVA committed to install emission controls or retire Allen's coal units by December 2018 under a 2011 agreement with the Environmental Protection Agency to reduce emissions across its coal-fired generating fleet.
The Allen plant generates about 4.8 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity a year, enough for 340,000 homes. The TVA says the plant consumes about 7,200 tons of coal daily.
Environmental groups say the Allen plant causes an air pollution hazard and it should be shut down and replaced with a facility that generates cleaner energy.
One of those groups, the Sierra Club, said it supports the TVA's proposal to retire the coal facility, while encouraging the utility to replace it with wind or solar power rather than natural gas.
"Investments in clean energy will protect the health of our families, lower energy bills, and create high paying jobs in Memphis," said Scott Banbury, conservation program coordinator with the Tennessee chapter of the Sierra Club. "TVA doesn't have to trade coal for natural gas, another expensive fossil fuel which pollutes our air."
The public comment period runs through Aug. 5. An open house will be held next Tuesday in Memphis.
TVA is the nation's largest public utility, supplying power to about 9 million people in Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, Kentucky, Georgia, North Carolina and Virginia.

There is a reason why Jackie O is still considered a major style icon today. More
A historian just posted 60-year-old self portrait by Jackie Kennedy, and we think it could well be one of the most stylish selfies ever taken. More
Did you read the interview with Jackie Kennedy's hairdresser where he told all? He actually told very little to Page Six. He told some basic stuff you might have expected, which, frankly, is less scandalous than the time Karl Lagerfeld claimed Jackie wore fake Chanel. According to Page Six, hairdresser Edgar Montalvo said
"She cursed just like anybody," he said. "I once told her, 'Jackie, there's a photographer behind your house,' and she'd say, 'That son of a bitch!' There was one particular photographer who I think she had a court order against."
I mean, that was the famously invasive Ron Galella, who Marlon Brando once punched directly in the face. He dressed up as a greek sailor so he could take pictures of Jackie O in a bikini so, yeah, I think it's understandable that she was not crazy about him.
Cursed. Cursed just like anybody.

Boy Scouts will be all over the community over the next several weeks, selling popcorn to raise money for scouting.
"This popcorn sale helps fund the council and the scouts," said Nolan Reynerson. "It keeps Camp Binachi alive and well and running. And also gives the scouts an opportunity to go on trips and camps and all the different things that they do. "
Popcorn will also be on sale at every location of Citizens National Bank. Local scouts have set a goal to sell $175,000 worth of popcorn this year.

Press Release 14-023 2013 International Science & Engineering Visualization Challenge winners named
Visualizations connect scientists with citizens, nurture popular interest of science
"Spherical Nucleic Acids" is a People's Choice winner in the video category.
Credit and Larger Version
February 6, 2014
Today the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the journal Science named 18 winners, honorable mentions and People's Choice awardees in the highly acclaimed International Science & Engineering Visualization Challenge.
The challenge, in its 11th year, was created to exemplify the old axiom: A picture is worth a thousand words. It celebrates the long tradition of using various types of illustrations to communicate the complexities of science, engineering and technology for education and journalistic purposes when words aren't enough.
"We asked contestants to provide visualizations that illustrate powerful scientific concepts," said Judith Gan, NSF's director of Legislative and Public Affairs. "We were delighted by this year's entries. These visualizations are both beautiful and captivating; they connect scientists with citizens in a way that excites popular interest of subjects normally reserved for academic rigor."
"The winners offer a feast for the eye and the mind, making complex science vivid and beautiful," said Tim Appenzeller, Science's chief news editor.
NSF and the American Association for the Advancement of Science, which publishes Science, sponsored the awards.
Visualization challenge awardees were selected from 227 submissions from 12 countries, including entries from 17 U.S. states and Canadian territories.
A committee of staff members from Science and NSF screened the entries and sent finalists to an outside panel of experts in scientific visualization to select the winners. In addition, nearly 2,000 votes determined the public's favorite images as People's Choice awardees.
The competition was conducted in 2013.
Winning entries feature the Earth and planets sitting in the crosshairs of multiple streams of solar power, a game that allows users to map the brain, wearable energy storage to power future generations of electronic clothing and other compelling visualizations.

John Bozeman's unhappy ending
For our final 150th Montana Territory anniversary post here's a little bit about John Bozeman . Yep. That Bozeman. Along he had a town named after him, turns out, he wasn't in Montana too long:
From Jesse Zentz:
John Bozeman only lasted in Montana for five years, but this "character" played an important role in Montana's early territorial days. He arrived in Montana in 1862 and died in 1867. It remains unclear whether he was killed by Blackfeet Indians or partner Tom Cover. Before his death, he helped plan the Bozeman Trail – a route from the Oregon Trail to Bannack – and he founded the city named after him in August of 1864.
"He's a son of Georgia. He's clearly in flight from an unhappy marriage and an unhappy life down south. He's in flight from the Civil War. He seems to be very good at promoting himself and he's very good at finding schemes to pursue. In the end, he does not have a happy ending. He ends up getting shot in 1867 and one can only guess what happened there, but he may have been partly responsible. I'll leave it at that," said Ken Egan, executive director of Humanities Montana.
Just because we're done celebrating, doesn't mean there's not more to see. First, check out this 365-day historical facts project from the Missoulian. Also, if you want to take part in an "official" celebration, the 41st Annual Montana History Conference, presented by the Montana Historical Society, will take place Sept. 18-20 in Helena and focus on Montana Milestones as in commemorates 150 years of Montana arriving on the map. For more information, visit www.mhs.mt.gov/education/ConferencesWorkshops.asp.

Montana history buffs, this list is for you
We've only started scratching the surface this week during our celebration of Montana's history in the 150 years since it became a territory.
There's plenty more to learn. Once again, writer Jesse Zentz (have you checked out his story in our May/June issue yet?) has an awesome list of sources where you can find out more about Montana.
It begins with the wonderful Montana Historical Society:
Montana Historical Society
Founded only a year after Montana became a territory, the Montana Historical Society is an unrivaled historical resource. Located in Helena, the Montana Historical Society Museum is home to an incredible collection of fine art and historical artifacts. You can visit the museum throughout the year. Learn more online at www.MontanaHistoricalSociety.org.
Humanities Montana

Pictured in History: Montana of the early years
We love featuring historic photos of the faces and places of Montana inside the pages of the print editions. Most come for our readers, who share sentimental and rare images of their families and friends that have been passed down through generations. They're special pieces of the state's history.
We've compiled a few of the "Pictured in History" shots here to help continue to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the Montana Territory. Many of the photos here are taken in the 1930s to the 1940s.
As we found when researching the story of the 150th anniversary of the Montana Territory, there weren't many cameras or photographers present in the west during the 1860s. Portraits were much more common than candid shots or scenic shots. With the help of the Montana Historical Society we were able to run some shots of early territory towns, such as Virginia City.
Inside our May/June issue, we also have a portrait of Calamity Jane.
Turns out that Calamity Jane may have had a long history in Montana. This is from writer Jesse Zentz:
Known mostly for her time spent with Wild Bill Hickok in Deadwood, S.D., Egan said he found newspaper evidence in the Montana Post placing Calamity Jane – then Martha Jane Cannary – in Virginia City in December 1864. He said an article in the December 31, 1864, issue of the Montana Post indicates she was only 8 years old and begging on the streets of Virginia City.

'All things mountainous': How Montana became Montana
The simplest Spanish translation of the word Montana is "all things mountainous."
But just how did the Montana of today get its name 150 years ago? The wonderful Kim Briggeman, a reporter for the Missoulian, has a great story on the naming of what is sometimes also called the Big Sky State.
We're celebrating the 150th anniversary of the Montana Territory this week (it was May 26, 1864, when President Abraham Lincoln signed the legislation creating the territory).
Since, of course, a lot has happened.
We've included part of the story in our May/June issue. If you want to know more, writer Jesse Zentz put together a list of books that delve deeper into a wide variety of Montana history subjects.
Montana history recommended reading list:
Montana 1864, by Kenneth Egan (due out in September 2014), explores the year Montana became a territory in detail, giving special attention to tribal nations.
Montana: High, Wide, and Handsome, by Joseph Kinsey Howard, is a history book about Montana, but often reads like a novel and provides readers with detailed descriptions and a unique take on this state's past.
The Last Best Place: A Montana Anthology, edited by William Kittredge and Annick Smith, features a compilation of some of the very best writing about Montana, which is home to a surprising number of true literary artists.
Montana Territory and the Civil War, by Ken Robison, introduces readers to many of the people touched by the Civil War who populated Montana, demonstrating the incredible impact the events in the eastern United States had on the territory and state.
Montana: A History of Two Centuries, by Michael P. Malone, Richard B Roeder, William L. Lang, offers a general but comprehensive textbook-style history of Montana.
Territorial Politics and Government in Montana 1864-89, by Clark C. Spence, offers a close look at Montana's early political landscape that eventually led to statehood in 1889.
Montana: An Uncommon Land, by K. Ross Toole, provides another take on Montana history that's as enjoyable to read as it is informative.

Help us celebrate the 150th anniversary of the Montana Territory
There was no Memorial Day holiday to celebrate 150 years ago, but the early settlers of the place we now call Montana did have something to cheer on May 26, 1864: The day when President Abraham Lincoln signed legislation creating the Montana Territory.
The land – and more what was underneath it – was an important commodity for the nation suffering from the Civil War. As writer Jesse Zentz explains in his feature (in the May/June issue of Montana Magazine) gold was an all-important factor to many of the settlers who came to Montana around 1864.
Gold was king in bustling mining communities like Bannack and Virginia City, which pulsed with activity; while today's larger cities were in their infancy or were simply nonexistent.
Vigilantes played the role of judge, jury and executioner. In a span of less than two months bridging 1863 and 1864, the Montana Vigilantes hanged 24 men as they ruthlessly wiped out Bannack Sheriff Henry Plummer's gang, which killed more than 100 people and robbed countless others.
Next week on MontanaMagazine.com, we'll be posting about the 150th anniversary of the Montana Territory each day. Look for facts, slideshows, and upcoming event information. On Tuesday, we'll have a recommended reading list for all Montana history buffs.
You can also find us on Twitter (@montanamagazine) and Facebook.com/MontanaMagazine for more about Montana Territory at 150.

Whiskey-loving grandpa inspires creation of distillery, brewery
If you live in Great Falls or Missoula you've probably tried Bowser Brewing Co.'s craft brews (Great Falls) or Montgomery Distillery's craft spirits (Missoula).
Bowser and Montgomery boast one-of-a-kind Montana made drinks and both are steadily growing as more and more people discover their stuff.
As writer and photographer Jessica Lowry tells us in the May/June issue, for the founders of the businesses, the connections goes a little deeper. The founders of the businesses are cousins who've used their grandfather's Montana, legacy, love of a good drink and hard working attitude to make their businesses thrive under the Big Sky.
Evan Bowser, 29, as the owner of Bowser Brewing Company in Great Falls, and his cousin, Ryan Montgomery, 36, as the head of Montgomery Distillery in Missoula, operate businesses pouring finely crafted brews and spirits created from ingredients mostly found in Montana.
But what exactly can you drink at Montgomery and Bowser? Lots of good stuff.
At Montgomery, one of the house cocktails favorites is the Go Gingerly (pictured in the May/June issue). It includes the distillery's Whyte Ladie gin, muddled ginger and basil, grapefruit and lemon, ginger syrup and grapefruit bitters (I've had it, it's great).
At Bowser, one of the most popular brews is the Farmers Daughter Strawberry Blonde – a German ale with a strawberry twist. Bowser is known for its prolific brew list, which you can explore on the website. If you get a chance to go to Bowser, you can try a sampler served on trays handmade by Evan's father, Rich.

Meet the toughest kid in Montana
Koni Dole is a pretty inspiring (and tough) kid.
Dole, the subject of our Big Sky Spotlight for the May/June issue, lost his leg after a football injury in 2012. But as writer Jim Gransbery tells us, during the first game of the 2013 season, Koni was on the field.
With a pair of very intense brown eyes, Dole is the walking definition of focused. In a private interview after a strenuous workout accompanied by his best friend, Tanner Miller, Dole described his thought processes leading up to his decision that the way forward was to cut back his damaged leg.
"I was stuck in bed for a week," he said. "Everything was OK. One day my parents (Nancy and Fualelei Andy Dole) came into the room. They were upset. There was a look on their faces.
"Everything that controls the foot was gone. I had a non-functioning foot. It was depressing. I had worked my (butt) off. I had goals. But the choice lit a fire in me. Actions speak louder than words, so I had to accept it. It was my best chance of coming back."
The work to get back onto the field was painful and intense. Jim told me he'd never come across such a tough and determined kid. And in 2014, Koni will walk on to the Montana State University football team.
His answer to the question "What three words describe Montana?": Close-knit communities.
Check out Koni's full story on our website. We post our full Big Sky Spotlight from each issue, including the Q&A section. Check out past BSSs here and here.

Even though I intellectually know this, I am finding watching my food intake more formally (using WW online) is really making me aware of my choices.
In the past I would think or this little splurge won't matter, but it does.
Case in point:
Didn't bring lunch today, which is more desirable because I know exactly what is in there. But didn't beat my self over this.....good not perfect.
Off to cafeteria: choice is Chicken Bacon Ranch dressing wrap or Chinese Chicken wrap. Almost grabbed the bacon ranch...but then did a quick analyze of what is int it: Bacon, Ranch dressing vs the other: oriental dressing
So Chinese Chicken it was. It hit me that this is what I have to 90% of the time or more, if I want to lose the weight, while still not getting stessed if I have a once or twice a week splurge (within reasons of course....a quart of ben and Jerry's is not a spluge :) )
happy friday

Receiving a 30-days-left-to-live prognosis, Woodroof does not take the news sitting down, literally bursting in and out of hospital rooms (or at least to great dramatic effect onscreen). In the film and in real life, he fought like hell, researching all he could about H.I.V. and AIDS and finding means outside the medical establishment for survival (or as McConaughey reflected, "A guy with a seventh grade education and he became a damn scientist of H.I.V. He studied that and knew more than a lot of the doctors did and did his own research."). Inadvertently, he helped many people along the way by dealing healthier, FDA-unapproved medicine through the legal loophole of a buyers club (hence "Dallas Buyers Club"). In the film, Woodroof befriends Rayon, an A.I.D.S.-infected homosexual transvestite (played by Jared Leto in a transformative performance), a relationship that does not deviate from Woodroof's stock character as McConaughey clarifies that its progression is "on a business sense first, and then on a more human level where they give a damn about each other."
The role of Woodroof is remarkable not only in that his story dealt with contracting H.I.V. from a staunch heterosexual, let alone bigoted, point of view during the earlier days of the AIDS epidemic (the film starts with the news Rock Hudson's death), but also that the character never feels some sort of grandiose epiphany to change his ways (an obligatory Hollywood trope) or a greater character arch beyond self-preservation, remaining a real down-right jerk until the end. Identifying these two elements as what drew him to the role, McConaughey explained with the latter that there was never "that third act turn of 'woe be my ways,' 'I'm sorry,' 'I need to be the white knight and do good now,' " and that such a turn "would have been false, it would have been bullshit."
In approaching this character's story, McConaughey (a co-producer on the film) said, "Stay with the anarchy of this guy. Stay with the bigoted bastard. Stay with the guy's who is out for self-preservation. Stay with the guy as a businessman. The guy wants to be Scarface, man" and that then through this man's humanity and without shoving a saint-faced turnaround down the audience's throat, "the cause, and the crusader, and the activist will be revealed." Comparing the role to one of his all-time favorite films "Hud," McConaughey continued to share, "Whether you like him or not, you respect him at the end of the story because you're like, 'I can't believe somebody has the courage to be that much of an ass and can still sleep at night' … This is a character who, like him or not, you're like, 'Well, that's just who he is.' And if you can go 'that's who he is,' then you get the human. And if you've got the human, he can be a bastard, a homophobe, a bigot, whatever."
Tuning into Woodroof's driving force of rage, McConaughey gives a commanding, sometimes chilling, warts-and-all performance, fully encapsulating the really awful, politically incorrect elements of the guy while also shedding a light on his deeper core. Rather than assuming an attitude or blending together a few key characteristics, McConaughey became Woodroof, an undeniably unique and heavily flawed character. As an actor, McConaughey stuck to his gut in following the basic crux of this man's story to the end. In another's hands, Woodroof most likely would have been intolerable, let alone unlikable, and/or fallen into the trappings of self-righteousness. Instead, McConaughey and his unique combination of earnestness and charisma enabled this performance to bring forth an unadulterated conviction that rises beyond the character flaws. In so doing, the character strikes the audience to their own most human core, that of self-preservation and survival, turning it into an admirable quality and the character into a true anti-hero.
In the role of Ron Woodroof, Matthew McConaughey took on the bravest role of his career, with the challenge being due to more than just character complexities. Dallas Buyers Club tackles issues ranging from H.I.V. and AIDS to homosexuality to big corporations to the medical establishment, with McConaughey as the de facto face of the project. A small independent film years in the making (after a few team changes, director Jean-Marc Vallée joined in 2010 and filming started in 2012), it was shot in New Orleans over the course of 6 weeks with an estimated $4 million budget. In 2012, the production became international news due to tabloids picking up images of a very gaunt McConaughey. With that, anticipation began to build and Oscar buzz began to swirl even before the film hit the editing room. This combined with McConaughey's recent upswing meant that "Dallas Buyers Club" could either cement him as a serious dramatic actor in an echelon he had yet to reach or leave him in the dust of a few smaller, low-profile (outside of the film world) successes.
The risk has already begun to reap a few rewards with McConaughey winning a Hollywood Award for Best Actor and a pending nomination for the Gotham Award for Best Actor. It's not even Halloween and many have begun to declare McConaughey a frontrunner in the Best Actor Oscar race, including our own Peter Knegt. Whether or not McConaughey wins the bald-headed golden statue, his performance has earned a spot amongst film's bravest performances and this role will go down in history as a career-defining one for the actor.
McConaughey himself looks at this three-year upswing simply as "a really healthy time in my career." After being pigeonholed in the system for a decade, he took his work in his own hands and changed course towards more fulfilling roles -- "I'm enjoying and loving acting more than I ever have and I'm getting an experience from my work." With Martin Scorsese's "The Wolf of Wall Street" being released next month (Nov. 15th) and Christopher Nolan's "Interstellar" lined up for 2014, it looks like McConaughey is on track for even more success both commercially and critically along with his probably Oscar nomination.

Between November 1 and November 3, the paper appealed to its readers to contribute new clothes, blankets, chocolates, candles, crackers, etc., which were distributed among the needy and underprivileged.
Elaborating on the thought behind the campaign, Prashant Kalyani, VP – Brand Marketing, Dainik Bhaskar Group, stated, "We believe in enabling socio-economic change across every strata of the society through inclusive programmes.

This philosophy guides many of our initiatives with our readers and Sarthak Diwali is an example of it. We were enthralled by the support received for the initiative and look forward to many more such initiatives in future."
Readers from 32 centers across nine Bhaskar states joined hands to contribute 2.32 lakh units of various items. These items were collected over 13 days at collection centers established at Dainik Bhaskar offices and points of high-footfall.
The group reached out to the audience via editorial articles and print ads under the theme 'Aayeih iss Diwali karein kuch chehrey roshan' (This Diwali let's bring a smile to some faces). The items thus collected were distributed in old age homes, orphanages and slum areas.

23/08/2007/2:57 pm, LaHave, Nova Scotia
After a quick dinghy ride ashore to make a posting on the web, we let go of our Lunenburg mooring ball and headed out of the harbour. The Bluenose II had gone out a bit earlier, followed by a big blue dragger. I was struck by the image of two fishing boats from different eras moored a wharf or two apart, and leaving the harbour at the same time. The working day for one crew, of course, would be filled with entertaining tourists, while for the other, the fish would be the prime concern. While I was sitting on a wharfside bench making my blog posting, Jim and I watched a couple of women, clutching the hands of little children, walk away from the wharf just after the fishing boat left. Were these the families of fishermen saying goodbye? I expect so - just as they have done for hundreds of years from this same waterfront.
We had heard that Strathspey was headed for Brooklyn (just across the Mersey River from Liverpool) that day so we reluctantly decided to bypass LaHave and hustle on to meet them. What a delight it was to get a call on the VHF radio, with new information that our buddies would stay at LaHave another night and we could connect with them there.
We cruised along into the river past Fort Point until we could see the big red building with LaHave Bakery and Outfitters painted on the end. Sure enough, there was Strathspey! Peter Brown, our genial host, came along with a warm welcome, and amid all our "hellos" and "good to see yous", Blair and Mary were just brimming over with "Ya gotta see this!" exclamations. This was our first opportunity to try our hand at tying up on a (non-floating) wharf in tidal waters, so we took some time to carefully tie our bow and stern lines, and then arrange spring lines so that as the tide rose and fell, we would too.
The LaHave Bakery, famous in these parts for breads, buns, and all things yeasty, operates from the basement of the building. Main floor front is the charming café where we could pick up these yummy items, and sit to enjoy them or take them away. Main floor back is a wonderful co-op art/craft store where I certainly wished I had money to spend and space to store things. The quality was superb. Also on main floor back is a boat maker's shop. Unfortunately I never did get in there since he was away, and returned only as we were leaving the next morning, but we heard from Blair and others that Kevin's craftsmanship is also superb. Upstairs is the laundry area, office space - for the bakery as well as a couple of lovely rooms available to rent for visiting business persons. (Hmm, my mind was racing a couple of years ahead - wouldn't this be a nice spot to do some work from sometime down the road...) The third floor houses the shop where a young entrepreneur designs and builds skateboards - and high quality ones they are too! This whole building hums with creativity and appreciation for beauty.
It took me most of the evening to do a much needed laundry job - we discovered that our towel/sheet locker had a leak so practically all the textiles on the boat had to be washed. In fact, the kind bakery people put my last load through the dryer in the middle of the night!
We could happily spend several days here, but unfortunately, we had to move on the very next day. There was a spell of rough weather coming and we wanted to be further along the southwestern shore before then.
Madcap will definitely be back here. This is one of those places where we feel a certainty that there are more conversations to be had, sticky buns to share, and exploring to do.
23/08/2007/7:11 am, Lunenburg
We had another in our series of engine "clouds" on Tuesday. Jim and I went ashore for an early morning walk, readied the boat for a sail to Lunenburg where we planned to meet Peggy and Glenn, our Halifax neighbours, and headed out of the harbour under cool, clear and windless skies.
Within ten minutes, that horrible old engine alarm started wailing. We last heard it in Riviere-au-Renard, Quebec and hoped never to hear it again!! Jim uttered a few mild curses, went below to see what was up, and after opening the engine compartment, increased the voltage on his language considerably. There was engine oil everywhere except where it should have been. We turned the engine off, turned the boat around and spent the next 40 minutes floating back to our mooring. With a few gentle nudges from the dinghy, Madcap sidled right up next to the ball and we were secure again.
It was really one of those excellent silver lining experiences. This could have happened when we were out on the ocean in rolling waves and strong winds. It could have happened when we were far from the services of a mechanic. It could have happened when we had no way to contact our friends and would have the added worry of leaving them wondering where we were. Instead, we were just a few minutes away from a dock. We were in a seaside town where a phone call confirmed that a well-regarded marine mechanic was on a job nearby and would stop in to troubleshoot the problem. We had a cell phone to call our friends and invite them to meet us in Mahone Bay instead of Lunenburg.
Jim cleaned up the worst of the oil spill and did some troubleshooting of his own. Peggy and Glenn arrived at noon and we had a fine lunch on board. We called an intermission before digging in to Peggy's delicious apple pie because Ken Knickle, the mechanic with a thousand stories arrived on the launch. (That was one of the perks of this marina - Mason offered launch service to and from the boats on moorings. Wifi and showers were also available.)
Ken confirmed that the problem was with a faulty oil filter installed in Halifax. He replaced it with a new one and had us all in stitches as he recounted some of his past escapades in the best tradition of Maritime storytellers. The fact that he knew Peggy's sister, and one of his stories involved a colourful judge whom Jim had appeared before during his years in Nova Scotia courtrooms, added to the head-shaking synchronicity of the day. The problem got fixed and Jim's engine maintenance skills have increased; we had an extra day in this lovely town, a fabulous visit with friends, and another story of our own!
On Wednesday morning we headed out once more for Lunenburg - successfully this time. The wind didn't pick up till we got here so we motored all the way. We discovered the perils of housekeeping while underway and the value of keeping a written record of course changes. As I finished doing up the breakfast dishes, I noticed that the wall around the bank of switches near the galley was grimy and decided to wipe it clean. Unfortunately I flipped the house battery switch, momentarily knocking out all our instruments. We were in a narrow passage at the time and it was due to Jim's quick grasp of what had happened and what to do that we came through without any trouble. The switch got flipped on again, the logbook was consulted, and we got back on course. Whew!
The view of Lunenburg as we rounded Battery Point was picture perfect. Lunenburg is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and remains a working town. It was settled by German, Swiss and French colonists in the mid 1700's, and the architecture of the town reflects that heritage. The houses are colourful, the waterfront busy - and not just with touristy things. There are draggers and trawlers, dry-docks and warehouses, sail lofts and a foundry. We were delighted to see that Bluenose II was here, and so was the Picton Castle. Visitors were moving on and off the Bluenose II, and I took a picture of a fellow working high in the rigging of the Picton Castle. I visited the Fisheries Museum while Jim visited marine stores. We ate a fabulous lunch at Magnolia's Grill - justly famous seafood chowder, chicken satays, spinach salad - and picked up Lunenburg sausage and Tancook Island sauerkraut for dinner on board. "Some good!"
We're off on Thursday to LaHave and hope to catch up with Strathspey before too long. They have been a couple of days ahead of us and we haven't seen them for over a week. Jim and Blair sometimes make a connection on single side band radio, so we keep in touch, and we are all looking forward to sharing an anchorage one day soon. Oh - the stories we will each have to share!
I'm back in Ottawa now. Take care

STFU Parents Offers Gift Buying Advicetoddler-times
We here at Babble have a confession to make – we're parents who like reading STFU Parents. Hey – being a parent doesn't mean you've lost your sense of humor does it?
If it has, here's a gift of one back. The head of STFU guest blogged for Lemondrop this week to give the non-parenting perspective on how to holiday shop for those parental archetypes.
There's the "environmentally-obsessed parents" who get cloth diapers, butt wash spray and fleece wipes; the hip parents who get anything that looks like it's been owned by Gavin and Gwen; and the over-cautious parents who need only a guide to food allergies to make them kvell.
Yes, you know that parent don't you?
Or are you that parent?
Reading like a list of what not to ever buy unless you're one of those parents (ding, ding, ding), it's worth seeing how the other half lives just to make you straighten up and fly right this Christmas. And maybe invest in a LEGO camera. . .

Cadillac or competing brand model ? Why ? Discussion, STS/SLS v. ETC/Eldorado v. Mark VIII in Item Specific Cadillac Discussion; OK so after driving that '99 ETC today, I know I want either a Northstar Cadillac or a Mark VIII ...
STS/SLS v. ETC/Eldorado v. Mark VIII
OK so after driving that '99 ETC today, I know I want either a Northstar Cadillac or a Mark VIII next. I'd prefer to get the SLS or Eldorado because the LD8 has more usable power in the lower end of the power range, the L37 (atleast the 1999 version) is too high strung for me, not enough low end power. But I've been told that the '93-'97 versions feel faster, and that would probably mean more low end power. Is the '93-'97 L37 a more robust motor?
While I initially like the LD8 Northstar more, I like the looks of the STS more than the looks of the SLS, the hood ornament doesn't really do it for me. Plus, I've heard that the STS/ETC handles a bit better than the SLS/ Eldorado. Is that true? I thought the ride that the '99 ETC offered was fine, I wouldn't want a smoother riding car, so the SLS/ Eldorado's softer ride really has no benefits for me, but that isn't a big strike against it or anything, it's really quite trivial.
As much as I'd like to stick with Cadillac, I have to wonder if the VIII has any major advantages over the Eldorados. If I remember correctly from looking at that '95 Mark VIII a while back, it doesn't have the high beltline that the Eldorado has, which will give it a more airy feeling, which I really like. Also, I think that the VIII has the smoother ride, which is really not something I'm looking for in a performance coupe. But the VIII doesn't have that high quality feeling that the Eldorado does.. it uses cheaper materials and such, and I don't recall the seats being anything spectacular..
All input is appreciated!
Re: STS/SLS v. ETC/Eldorado v. Mark VIII
Well the price difference is quite substantial between a Mark VIII vs an Eldorado or Seville. A '98 Mark VIII will set you back $6000-$7000 while a '98 or '99 Eldorado will be closer to $11,000-$13,000. Nearly double the price which might be a deal breaker.
I don't know if the older Eldorado's have more low-end torque but does it really matter? I mean the engine is powerful enough. I like my Eldorado and it gets plenty of compliments, in my opinion they are MUCH better looking than the Mark VIII's. The interior are a higher quality with better materials used throughout.
If it were up to me I'd pick the Eldorado.
Re: STS/SLS v. ETC/Eldorado v. Mark VIII
ok out of everyone i can give about the best opinion i think because i have all three at my disposal
the LD8 is in my moms 96 Deville off the line shell chrip them and lay tire better than my ETC, when im going about 70-80 i can drop the hammar and i swear to god the whole front end lifts up cars thrown back and your off but the speedo doesnt show it....
The 93 Northstar in my dads 93 ETC which i learned on (Reason i got my 97 ETC) had alot more road feel to the point that it was down right like my WS6 Trans AM (though having 2 blown struts in the front probably didnt help), I swear to god that car had more power stock to stock than my 97 ETC even though mine has 5 more hp. I assume that to be due to added weight of mine with the stability and other added things along with my stereo and other things
My 97 ETC stock i agree i had that nail it no go issue at 60-70, my exhaust stoped that perminantly it was like it was bogged down and my stock exhaust was the cork on it, i drop the hammar now on the car and she gets up and GOES (also keep in mind a clean tb deff helps that too the one on the 99 you drove prob was never clean). It handels firmer than my moms floaty Deville (omg i HATE how floaty that car is you can cut the wheel left and right and theres sooo much body roll)
Also my dad had a 91 Mark i believe (not 100% on the year)
Not too bad a car but it has major downfalls
1 pray to god you dont have any airbag issues
2 good luck in the snow
1 stang motor many mods
2 aftermarket so you can always tweak what you dont like
Re: STS/SLS v. ETC/Eldorado v. Mark VIII
Personally I like Eldo's I wouldn't be able to tell you about the Marks. Jay would, his father has a Mark back in the day and also a blue Eldo. He would be able to tell you the input on both very throughly. Eldos to me have more power, they are a fun little cars hehe.
Edit: yeah I spoke too late ^^^^
Re: STS/SLS v. ETC/Eldorado v. Mark VIII
I am experiencing a similar thought
process; in that I am contemplating
those exact vehicles for my next
winter car.
I suspect that you have answered your
own question.
You're not Chadilincoln; You are The
I would drive an ETC over any other
Coupe; nonetheless, a splendid Mark8
is easier to mod and cheaper to fix;
if desired ;or, required.
Re: STS/SLS v. ETC/Eldorado v. Mark VIII
Wasn't the only Northstar powered Cadillac in 1993 the Allante?~Steve
Re: STS/SLS v. ETC/Eldorado v. Mark VIII
1993 the ETC STS and Allante all got the N*
believe me im 100% about the year and engine in that car
I was driving it when it threw a rod and being a N* it was cheaper to sell the car then fix it something my dad has never let me forget

Re: STS/SLS v. ETC/Eldorado v. Mark VIII
Re: STS/SLS v. ETC/Eldorado v. Mark VIII
My Seville is 2 inches longer than my mom's Escalade
Re: STS/SLS v. ETC/Eldorado v. Mark VIII
Pre '96 Mark VIII = serious mods.
Re: STS/SLS v. ETC/Eldorado v. Mark VIII
Yay for super long Cadillacs!!! My Eldo is longer than our minivan.
I love the Eldo, but the parts + labor thing kills me sometimes. I would imagine, but never had experience with, that the Mark would be cheaper to deal with because they would be lots more things that could be done.
Are there any around you that you could look at?
Re: STS/SLS v. ETC/Eldorado v. Mark VIII
Re: STS/SLS v. ETC/Eldorado v. Mark VIII
So after reading your responces (thanks all, especially Jay)
I have a few more questions:
1- Are the early (93-95?) Northstars more suceptible to head gasket problems than the newer ones? I'd prefer a '93-95 Eldorado/SeVille because they're cheaper to buy, and DRASTICALLY cheaper to insure if I go with Progressive. And, while the dashboard/ instrument cluster on the '96+ models may be nicer to look at, the '93-95 models have the better seats, and the DIC is easier to use, but not as easy to look at...lol, and the interior design is still good, but not as good as the 96+ models.
As for the Mark VIII, does it have any real advantages over the Eldorado other than the aftermarket (not a huge deal for me) and ease of access under the hood? But, Lincoln's labor prices will be as high as Cadillacs, and I work for a GM dealer, so they're more familiar with the Northstar (even though ALL of the techs HATE that motor), and I could get discount prices on parts and labor.
Between the '93 ETC you describe Jay, and the '99 ETC I drove, the '93 takes the cake. More power, better handling, more road feel. Is the powerband any wider on the '93? Did your father have any HG issues with it? Personally, I like the exterior styling on the '93-94's more..cleaner lines, better wheels, less "bling blingy", etc, etc.
You describe the ride in your mom's '96 as floaty, it's probably pretty close to the ride in my '92 deVille..it's only floaty to you because you're used to the Eldorado. Does the '96 have the same sort of struts as your Eldorado? I can't remember right now.
And yes Speedy, a lack of low end torque is quite important to me. I hate having to wind out the motor to get anything out of it. Maybe I've been spoiled with the torque laden 4.9 and LT1 350, but it's what I'm used to.
There's really very little chance I'd ever go with a Mark VIII, but I haven't test driven on in over a year, so I remember very little, but from comparing pics and reviews, the Eldorado takes the cake!

I think it's time the Eastenders OMG style of writing the Archers script writers have adopted of late needs to STOP.
Let's get back to the more old fashioned "parochial" style not fashionable I know but it worked for years and many liked it as the BBC's decision to shut the message board in response to the listener's complaints about the Eastenders OMG style of writing.
It's been ages since we have a good disaster in Ambridge, so rather the listeners having to suffer a long drawn out decent into adolescent debauchery for Pip why not have her knocked off in a road accident she is clearly not the daughter of David and Roof just listen to her accent and diction so best she is got gone IMHO!
