Research Guide: Information for University Relations Staff, Student Employees, and Volunteers
The University Archives is the official repository for the records of Wesleyan's departments, offices, and administrative units. In addition, the Archives is responsible for maintaining and adding to Wesleyan's institutional memory by documenting its people, places, and activities. The staff of Special Collections & Archives (SC&A) in Olin Library are available to assist researchers of all levels of experience who are working on Wesleyan history-related projects.
This brief guide is intended to answer frequently-asked questions about the services we provide, how we can assist you with research projects, and the types of materials available for use in SC&A and at Olin Library.
Should we refer people to SC&A directly?
When you receive questions from alumni/ae, relatives, or other interested parties about Wesleyan history, please forward them directly to us. Questions we regularly answer for alumni/ae and other outside researchers include: biographical sketches of alumni/ae and faculty members; campus buildings and architects; and student organizations and activities.
When will I need to come in to SC&A to do research?
For brief questions or for editorial fact-checking, you can phone or email us and we'll gladly answer your question. We can also send you a few photocopies via campus mail or fax.
If you are researching several individuals or an event that will likely require looking at multiple sources, it's best to come in to SC&A to do research. If you let us know what you're working on in advance, we can have a number of collections and sources waiting for you to examine.
If your project requires the selection of a number of items such as photographs or clippings related to a particular subject or class, we prefer that you make the selection of items from the available sources, rather than our doing the selecting. Depending upon your topic, we should be able to provide you with a wide variety of choices.
How far in advance do I need to request assistance?
If you have a brief question, we are normally able to give you an answer within 24 hours. For in-house work, items that are requested by researchers are normally ready for use within 24 hours. If you're working on a larger project that requires research in SC&A, we appreciate having a few days. notice so we can identify and locate all the sources you'll need for your work. Frequently-consulted items, such as most runs of university and student publications and our entire subject files, are housed in our Reading Room, and are thus available for easy use whenever we're open. We also realize that a lot of publication work can be time-urgent, and we're happy to assist in these situations as much as we can.
What materials should I examine to research a specific Wesleyan class?
Most archival records are organized by topic or subject, so finding information on an entire class's members and activities may require examining a number of sources. University publications are the best starting points for researching an entire class. Plan to look at examples of the following for the particular years you're interested in: Commencement programs, the Olla Podrida, the Argus, Hermes, and other student publications, the frosh facebook, and student and faculty directories.
What types of reproductions can be made from archival sources?
For documents in SC&A, we will (condition permitting) copy the items for you. Photocopy charges are $.10 per page. Our standard limits for reproducing materials are 50 copies per archival box or 15 openings per book or bound periodical.
We have a flatbed scanner and digital camera for imaging and can arrange for standard photography of archival documents. Please consult us for costs of these services. We can provide every resolution from web quality to offset litho reproduction quality, depending upon the document's ultimate use. We also allow researchers to use their own cameras to photograph documents with advance notice.
For university-produced documents and publications, we will grant permission for copying and reproduction of images in other documents or websites. For documents in which we do not hold copyright (such as honors theses), we will assist you in requesting permission for copying and reproduction.
Types of documents found in Olin
The Olin Library stacks hold a number of university and local publications that can be checked out, photocopied in the library, or scanned at any computer lab on campus by you or your students. (During the semester, Olin is open weeknights until 2am!) The following publications can be found in Olin:
- The Argus from 1868 to the current issue.
- The Olla Podrida from 1862 to the current year.
- The Alumnus/Wesleyan magazine from 1916 to the current issue.
- Bulletin/Course Catalog from 1831 to 1998.
- Complete runs of the Middletown Press and Hartford Courant (on microfilm).
- The Alumni Record, alumni/ae directories, and class reunion books.
- Student and faculty directories from 1831 to the present.
- Frosh facebooks from the class of 1959 to the present.
- Faculty facebooks from 1959-1974 and 1984.
- GLSP faculty and student directories/facebooks from 1961-1972.
- Commencement programs from 1833 to the present.
- Undergraduate and graduate theses.
- Department and office annual reports.
The archives has over 30,000 images of Wesleyan people, places, events, and activities dating from the first class daguerreotype in 1849 to present-day digital photographs.

http://tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=322287The city of Glendale and the NHL have come to an agreement to keep the Coyotes in Phoenix for at least the 2010-11 season.
Glendale has agreed to cover all losses up to $25 million if the NHL still owns the team, but the league is looking for local ownership. This is great news for Phoenix fans and bad news for the fine folks in Winnipeg.
That sucks, guess their playoff run made em stay.

NASA watching Hurricane Paul, warnings up for Baja California
Tropical cyclones seem to love forming over weekends, Rafael formed over the weekend in the Atlantic, Anais in the Southern Indian Ocean and Hurricane Paul in the eastern Pacific Ocean. NASA's Terra satellite kept on top of Paul, however, and provided forecasters with a visible look at the newborn storm.
Paul formed on Oct. 13 at 5 p.m. EDT about 660 miles (1,065 km) south-southwest of the southern tip of Baja California, near 14.0 North and 113.6 West.
The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) instrument aboard NASA's Terra satellite captured a visible image of Paul on Oct. 13 at 18:25 UTC (2:25 p.m. EDT) just before it was officially designated a tropical storm off the west coast of Mexico. The visible imagery showed powerful thunderstorms in a large, wide band wrapping around the storm from the north, around the western side and into the center from the southern quadrant. Paul has since strengthened into a hurricane.
On Monday, Oct. 15 at 11 a.m. EDT Paul strengthened into a hurricane and a Tropical Storm Warning was then posted for a part of the western coast of Baja California, Mexico.
A Tropical Storm Warning covers the west coast of the Baja Peninsula from Santa Fe northward to Puerto San Andresito, Mexico, and a Tropical Storm Watch is in effect from north of Puerto San Andresito to El Pocito.
Paul had maximum sustained winds near 90 mph (150 kph). It is located about 495 miles (800 km) southwest of the southern tip of Baja California, Mexico, near 17.3 North latitude and 114.7 West longitude. Paul is moving to the north at 13 mph (20 kph) and is expected to continue for a day or two before turning to the north-northwest and away from land.
The National Hurricane Center expects Paul to bring dangerous surf and heavy rainfall to the Baja and tropical storm conditions by the afternoon hours on Oct. 16. Rainfall is expected between 2 and 4 inches with higher isolated totals.

Find out what Wall Street analysts had to say about Boeing, Apple, Yum Brands and Tiffany in this CNBC.com Stock Blog Roundup.
The Boeing bulls are undeterred by recent mishaps with the long-awaited 787 Dreamliner.
Carter Copeland, an analyst at Barclays Capital, said he thinks the plane is seeing the sort of "teething problems" that are normal for new planes. So far, there haven't been any signs that Boeing's production would be slowed down or interrupted to address concerns about the new plane, Copeland added.
"The central bull thesis for Boeing shares is about the large amount of cash that the company's going to generate over the course of the next three, four years with production rates as high as they are and with the 787 ramping up to very high levels to meet customer demand," he said.
While Apple bears have knocked a quarter off the company's market cap since September, R.W. Baird senior analyst Will Power remains bullish due to "very good" demand.
"We continue to like Apple," Power said Monday. "That's our top pick and, really, I guess our refrain has been the more things change, the more they stay the same. We like Apple on the weakness."
There may also be reason to be more bullish on Tiffany as it turns around the business after a weak holiday season.
Brian Nagel, an Oppenheimer analyst, told CNBC, "My view, and I've said this for a while now, I think Tiffany is suffering through a fashion miss."
Nagel said he was encouraged that Tiffany is now recognizing that it needs "to do something to pump life into that lower-end business." But Nagel thinks problem is fixable and once the company solves it, he forecasts that investors will see "sales improve rather quickly."
Yum Brands has seen its shares and China sales hurt by "adverse publicity" from a Chinese government review of the country's poultry supply. One analyst wonders whether this is a one-time event or something that is masking weakening demand.
Rachael Rothman, an analyst at Susquehanna Financial Group, said "I think when they report fourth quarter now they're likely to lower that bar and investors will probably be cautious about the sales trajectory in China for the balance of 2013."
In health care, biotech stocks may be a good place to invest in 2013, Les Funtleyder, president of the investment advisory arm of Poliwogg, an asset manager.
He cited biotech firms Gilead Sciences and Celgene as "interesting names," and said traditional drug companies like Merck and Pfizer could be potential buys.
Funtleyder said that dividend payments and pharmaceutical pipelines from Big Pharma "are actually starting to come around now" that they've started overcoming a massive wave of patent expirations called the "patent cliff."

Wonder what you think Barca are going to look like next year?
They've been linked with both Coutinho & Dele Alli, but both players play in a different position and aren't a like-for-like replacement for Neymar. I thought they wanted Countinho as Iniesta's long term replacement.
If they're after a LW I'd go for Mane myself.

Pirates' prospects remain strong in new Top 20 list
With 2013 Draftees signed and entered into their respective clubs' pipelines, MLB.com has re-ranked its Top 100 Prospects and each club's Top 20 Prospects.
With 2013 Draftees signed and entered into their respective clubs' pipelines, MLB.com has re-ranked its Top 100 Prospects and each club's Top 20 Prospects.
Facing the long-term task of providing a solid foundation for the revival of the franchise, the Pirates met that challenge for years by focusing on the acquisition and development of high-ceiling prospects. As a result, the club's farm system has consistently enjoyed rankings among the Major Leagues' Top 10, even while the parent club's struggles continued.
Today, the Bucs have turned over that new leaf, solidly contending in the National League Central. And, as confirmation of the organizational commitment to nurturing the farm system as the lifeline to continuing success, the prospect pool remains as respected as ever, with no drop-off despite the ongoing migration of homegrown talent to Pittsburgh.
Although the front office lately has purposefully imported veterans seen as important finishing pieces on a contender, there is an unmistakable link between the successes on the farm and at the big league level. The current 25-man roster includes 10 homegrown players, plus others who had been acquired early in their pro careers and essentially developed in the system.
As they head down the stretch, the Pirates figure to continue to depend on that system for support. Catcher Tony Sanchez (No. 12, up four places from preseason rankings), who recently made his brief Major League debut, right-handed reliever Vic Black (No. 17) and southpaw Andy Oliver (No. 19) -- all could play prominent roles this season.
Twenty percent of the Pirates' preseason Top 20 is now in the Majors -- a whopping statement of both the team's development system and, if you think about it, the accuracy of these rankings. While Black recently made the jump and thus has yet to make an impact, the three other pitchers have greatly influenced the Bucs' title run.
Lefty reliever Justin Wilson (No. 9) has been in Pittsburgh's bullpen all season, righty Bryan Morris (No. 13) joined in to stay at the end of May, and star pitching prospect Gerrit Cole (No. 1) merged into the rotation during the second week of June.
Through the first week of post-All-Star break play, those three had 15 wins among them. Impactful, indeed.
Dropped off
None. In the Pirates' case, the normal shakeup of the list flowed in a natural way: Newcomers to the midseason list simply replaced those who have advanced to the Majors. In other words, there was no dramatic regression among any of the Bucs' top prospects.
New faces
The Pirates' top picks in the 2013 First-Year Player Draft -- both first-rounders -- have broken in with spots in the top eight. Outfielder Austin Meadows (the overall No. 9 selection) zoomed to No. 4 in recognition of his strong professional bow, and catcher Reese McGuire (the No. 14 Draft pick) debuts on the list at No. 8. McGuire took a little longer to sign, so he got off to a late start but was batting over .400 in his first 15 games with the Gulf Coast League Pirates, splitting time behind the plate and at DH.
The only other new face, at No. 20, belongs to Jin-De Jhang, a 20-year-old catcher from Taiwan who is batting .306 at Class A Jamestown and has thrown out 52 percent (12 of 23) of runners attempting to steal.
Rising/falling stock
Outfielder Gregory Polanco's mid-year jump from Class A to Double-A now ranks as only his second-most impressive move of the season: The 21-year-old Dominican rose from No. 65 to No. 15 in the Top 100, and the 50-place jump is the second biggest among the new Top 100 (excluding June draftees debuting on the list).
The still-maturing 6-foot-4, 170-pound left-handed swinger has found the Eastern League challenging, but he deserved the promotion to Altoona after hitting .312 in 57 games with Bradenton, where he was also successful on 24 of 28 stolen-base attempts.
While the rises of righty Jameson Taillon (No. 15 to No. 12 overall) and shortstop Alen Hanson (No. 54 to No. 44) were more modest, the real significance there was that none of the Pirates' prospects in play declined in the Top 100 rankings, certainly the overall trend you want to see from an organization working its way back to respectability.
Narrowing the focus to the team Top 20, a pair of pitchers hit skids due to injury and mound inconsistency: Righty Kyle McPherson, a prime preseason candidate for the Bucs' rotation before elbow woes surfaced, underwent recent Tommy John surgery and fell from No. 7 to No. 16; Oliver slipped from No. 12 to No. 19, despite a solid 3.97 ERA for 20 starts in Indianapolis.
Top 100 representation
As a bottom line, the Pirates' system maintained its industry standing, despite "losing" three of its preseason chips to the Majors, an outstanding sign of organizational depth. With newcomers Meadows and right-hander Luis Heredia joining the incumbents, the Bucs have a quintet in the Top 100.
Delve deeper, and their relative situation becomes even more impressive. The Pirates are one of two NL clubs with two prospects among the Top 15, but while both of the high-ranking Mets are right-handed pitchers, Taillon and Polanco lend diversity to the Bucs' elite.
Overall, in an inverted-value system wherein points are credited according to rank (No. 1 equals 100 points, No. 2 equals 99 and so on), the Pirates rank No. 6 with 276 prospect points. That is exactly the same rank (with 261 points) with which they started the season.

1. The grantor's covenant of title in a warranty deed is not breached without the grantee's disturbance of possession and eviction under an adverse title existing at the time of the conveyance.
2. The grantor's covenant of title in a warranty deed is limited to lawful claims. K.S.A. 58-2203.
Appeal from Sedgwick District Court; D. KEITH ANDERSON, judge. Opinion filed August 11, 2000. Reversed.
Keith E. Martin, of Smith, Shay, Farmer & Wetta, LLC, of Wichita, for appellant.
Kurt A. Harper, of Sherwood & Harper, of Wichita, for appellees.
Before RULON, P.J., KNUDSON, J., and TIMOTHY E. BRAZIL, District Judge, assigned.
KNUDSON, J.: John W. Roe appeals a money judgment entered upon the claim of Richard W. Lewis and Linda J. Lewis that Roe breached the warranty of title in a warranty deed. The controlling issue on appeal is whether a warranty of title is breached when the grantee (Lewises) must bring a forcible detainer action to evict a third party who asserts an honest but unfounded claim of a possessory interest in the property conveyed. The district court held that it made no difference whether the third party's claim was valid or invalid--the covenant of title was breached.
We reverse because there can be no breach of the covenant of title in a warranty deed unless the third party's claim is superior to the title or possessory rights of the grantee.
The Lewises purchased an 18-unit apartment house from John Roe by warranty deed subject to easements of record. In the basement of the apartment house, Jetz Service Co., Inc., (Jetz) maintained washers and dryers for the use of tenants. Upon taking possession, the Lewises requested Jetz remove its machines from the laundry room. Jetz refused, producing a long-term written lease executed by Roe's predecessor in interest.
Ultimately, the Lewises brought suit against Jetz for forcible detainer and against Roe for breach of the warranty of title. On the morning of trial, the Lewises settled with Jetz, paying the company $1,814.12 to buy out its lease. At trial, the district court found neither Roe nor the Lewises had knowledge of the lease; the lease between Jetz and the previous owner of the apartments was not valid; and Roe had breached the warranty of title in the deed. The court ordered Roe to reimburse the Lewises $1,814.12 and pay their attorney fees of $1,305.78 plus court costs.
Neither party to this appeal contests the district court's findings of fact and law that Jetz did not have a valid lease. Consequently, the issue left before us is one of law and our standard of review is unlimited. See Heiman v. Parrish, 262 Kan. 926, 927, 942 P.2d 631 (1997).
A grantor's covenant of title in a warranty deed is limited to lawful claims. See K.S.A. 58-2203. In Bedell v. Christy, 62 Kan. 760, 763, 64 Pac. 629 (1901), the Supreme Court, speaking under the assumption that covenants of warranty and quiet enjoyment are "mainly identical," held a breach does not occur without a disturbance of possession and eviction under an adverse title which existed at the time of the conveyance. The court stated: "An entry by an intruder, or by any one else, without lawful right and superior title is not a breach of the covenants, and in such case the remedy of the grantee is against the wrong-doers and not the covenantor." 62 Kan. at 763.
The holding in Bedell appears consistent with the prevailing view throughout the country. In one of the more respected treatises, the author states:
"The general effect of a covenant of warranty is that the grantor agrees to compensate the grantee for any loss which the grantee may sustain by reason of a failure of the title which the deed purports to convey, or by reason of an encumbrance on the title. In the typical wording of such a covenant, the grantor covenants to warrant and defend the title conveyed by the deed against the lawful claims which may [be] asserted against it. The covenant may be either expressly stated, or it may be implied by the words used or type of deed employed." (Emphasis added.) 14 Powell on Real Property, § 81A.06(2)(d)(i), p. 81A-121 (1999).
In the case now before us, the district court mistakenly relied upon Burchfield v. Brinkman, 92 Kan. 377, 140 Pac. 894 (1914), for support of its award against Roe. Burchfield is distinguishable from the case before us because the tenant occupying the property did so under a valid lease. Here, the district court specifically found Jetz' occupancy was not based upon an enforceable claim.
We conclude that under the district court's findings, the holding in Bedell precludes recovery by the Lewises. As a matter of law, there has been no breach of the warranty of title by Roe. The judgment of the district court is reversed.

Google is paying homage to Swiss math genius Leonhard Euhler with an interactive Google Doodle on Monday to celebrate his 306th birthday.
Euhler, born in 1707, is deemed one of the greatest mathematicians of all time. He published close to 900 books - despite going blind in his 50s - and made important discoveries in astronomy, optics, fluid dynamics and mechanics.
The renowned mathematician got into Switzerland's University of Basel at 13 and earned his master's degree by the time he was 16. He was also the first person to use Venn diagrams to show the relationship between two sets or numbers.
The Doodle is an image of a piece of scratch paper with math notes and geometric shapes. It pays tribute to some of Euler's famous findings like Euler's formula for Polyhedra and Euler's number.
Google has a soft spot for tech and science geniuses. In December, the world's first computer programmer Ada Lovelace received her own Doodle. "Hitchhiker's Guide" author Douglas Adams was immortalized with a Doodle in March.

This is a picture of the Unknown Soldier to me. His picture was in my fathers family photo album. I know it is circa World War I. Of course, as usual, there is nothing on the back.
This is the wedding picture of my mother Gerda Schridde and my dad Thomas Dowd before he shipped out to Europe. It was taken Feb 1943.
This is a picture of my dads brother Richard Dowd,he also was in WWI. I do not know where he was stationed. He died in 1951-1952.
This is a picture of my fathers step brother William Graham. He was a paratrooper and got his ear shot off during the D Day invasion. He returned to the states and had an ear reconstruction and became a police offices for the East Pittsburgh PA Police Department. He cheated death in about one to two inches. He died of an MI at an early age. His father Peter was my grandmother Ellen O'Rourke Dowd's second husband, he also died at an early age from an MI>

Two-way trade between Japan and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), its top oil supplier, soared 75 percent in the first six months of 2000 on the back of the surge in crude prices, an official report said Tuesday.
Total trade in the first half of this year amounted to $8.284 billion, up 74.1 percent from $4.758 billion in the same period in 1999, said the Japan External Trade Organisation (JETRO).
"The driving force behind this steep increase was mainly the rise in the price of mineral fuels that Japan imports from the UAE," JETRO said.
The value of exports from the UAE, which remains Japan's leading crude supplier, almost doubled to $7.001 billion in the first six months of 2000 from $3.584 billion the previous year.
Japan imported 204.14 million barrels of Emirati crude in that period, down slightly on 1999, but the value of imports surged on rebounding crude oil prices, whose barrel average JETRO said stood at $26.70 in 2000 against $13.13 the year before.
The UAE was also the third largest gas provider to Japan over the six-monthly period, cornering 12.2 percent of the market with imports to Tokyo worth $1.019 billion.
After shrinking last year, Japan's exports to the UAE rebounded to reach $1.283 billion, up 9.2 percent from $1.175 billion in the first six months of 1999.Machinery and equipment, including cars, buses and trucks accounted for most of the exports.—AFP.

Justice served in Zimmerman trial's verdict
When George Zimmerman was doing his duty as a volunteer watchman in an area that was plagued with crime, he saw a suspicious person. The person was wearing a hoodie, and it was dark with some distance between them. There was no way of knowing the person's skin color, so race was not a factor and no one was being "singled out" or profiled.
As things progressed Trayvon Martin chose to physically confront Zimmerman. He was a strong youthful teen and physically superior to Zimmerman. He was getting the best of the encounter as evidenced by the injury on the back of Zimmerman's head. A possible concussion, permanent brain damage or death may have happened. Zimmerman had to protect himself from further injury. The jury listened carefully to all the testimony and heroically issued the correct verdict. They did not cave in to the biased media and faulty public opinion. The jury is on record that they believe Martin was partly to blame. His indiscreet actions contributed to his demise.

United States can't afford ObamaCare
The Sunday SRVT article by Steve Butler makes an argument that ObamaCare will lessen personal bankruptcies due to the negligent few who fail to buy insurance.
In considering bankruptcy, Butler seems to totally ignore that we are bankrupting the entire United States. We have to borrow or print $46 out of every $100 the feds spend! ObamaCare, according to the Congressional Budget Office, will cost an additional $100 billion per year. To suggest adding another vast entitlement to such a desperate situation is unbelievable.
A great way to bankrupt private insurers is to require coverage of "pre-existing conditions." Should we require insurers to insure the house that has already burned? How about requiring issuing auto liability coverage even after an accident? Lastly, who actually believes adding a layer of government will do anything but cause the cost of insurance to skyrocket (like it has since ObamaCare)?
Mark Fernwood
ObamaCare in violation of Constitution
ObamaCare is a tax bill (the Supreme Court said so) that originated in the Senate (using the fraud called "gut and replace") and as such is un-Constitutional (Article 1, Section 7, first sentence).
Send it back to the Supreme Court, have "gut and replace" and the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act declared un-Constitutional and, like dominoes, all the follow-on laws, rules, regulations and executive orders implementing it rendered null and void. For the Senate to fraudulently replace a House bill with a tax bill is unethical, immoral, un-Constitutional and has as much validity as replacing the contents of a box of Cheerios with lawn clippings, resealing the box and then trying to sell it as genuine Cheerios! Defend the Constitution!

Pressing for highest price how it works
I believe the writer has just awakened to reality. In the state of California, all real estate agents, regardless of who contacts them for service, work for the seller. That fact is in every contract and offer they have a buyer sign. Since the seller pays both real estate agents and the real estate agents work on commission, that has to be the case.
"Your" real estate agent wants you to find the house you want and to buy it, but also wants the sale to be for the highest price possible. This is not "shady". It's reality (or realty). As to the idea that I should have to take the first offer that meets my asking price, that is not the way bargaining works.
If you have only a single interested party, you must sell for less (assuming the buyer is a good bargainer). If there is a line of people who want what you own, you have every right to take the best offer. I own something. You want it. As the owner, I decide whether and to whom I want to sell. This has always been the case. the "asking" price is nothing but a starting point for the negotiation.

GOP, tea party want a failure of government
I believe that you do the country a great disservice by posting letters that don't consider the facts. The most recent example is the letter that claims that the tea party is the only hope against Obama.
As I understand it, the desires of the GOP/tea party include the willingness to diminish the country's financial standing by forcing us to default on the bills we've already accumulated, The desire to further diminish the middle-class by shifting even more money to the top, the desire that we continue to allow those who can afford health care to have access without paying their share to maintain that system, the unwillingness to see that domestic energy is at an all-time high and finally that our "pathetic skinny socialist" president is at fault for the tea party folks' actions and desires that we fail at everything because they hope to benefit from that failure.
Let's hope that they don't succeed because we've already seen what they stand for and the extreme desires that drive them and their primary news source.

Nuking Japan was necessary
A recent letter about the use of atomic bombs on Japan during World War II is nonsense. The Japanese Empire invaded Manchuria in 1932, China in 1939, French-Indo China in 1941 and attacked the United States in December 1941 because we did not support their war in Asia.
Imperial Army troops were war criminals who murdered 10 to 20 million civilians including 750,000 Chinese killed by bioweapons. These bioweapons were developed by the Japanese Army and tested on 10,000 prisoners, many of whom were dissected without anesthesia. Allied prisoners of war were used as slave labor and worked until they died; hundreds of thousands of women were raped and many of them forced into sexual slavery.
I believe that the United States was morally obligated to end the war as quickly as possible and that using atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki saved the lives of civilians and American troops. Every Aug. 6 we should remember the innocent lives lost or ruined and not those of the nation that started the war and committed countless war crimes.

Dakota Wood is a retired Marine Corps Lt. Col. After graduating from the Naval Academy in 1985, he served in the Marines for 20 years.
Following his retirement from the Marines, Wood provided support to the Department of Homeland Security, serving as Operations Officer for the National Biosurveillance Integration System, an initiative intended to provide warning of a potential biological threat to the country. He then served as a Senior Fellow at the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments (CSBA) in Washington, DC, where he specialized in studying the evolving operational challenges of land warfare, irregular warfare, and complex contingencies.
Now, Wood is running for Congress in Oklahoma's Second District. The seat is currently held by Dan Boren, a conservative Democrat who is retiring from Congress. The district was redrawn slightly in 2011. Both Larry Sabato and Charlie Cook have it "leaning Republican."
The Republican primary will take place on June 26.
Although he is Oklahoma born and bred, Wood must overcome the fact that he has been away from the State throughout his adult life. Like Tom Cotton, though, Wood has been away from Oklahoma because his quest to serve his country took him away.
Wood is one of America's most respected analysts of defense-related issues. As such, he would be a huge asset in Congress, especially at a time when the resources being devoted to defense will be shrinking – perhaps radically so.
You can visit Dakota Wood's campaign website, and watch him debate the issues, here. If you wish to contribute to the campaign of this patriot, you can do so here.

Solstice Stars Series ~ A Finished Quilt
This post feels so good to write! Last winter I hosted a quilt along on my blog called the Solstice Stars Series (see tab at the top of my blog). I wanted to make a quilt that focused on traditional stars, but arrange them in a non-traditional way. I purposely only made 5 stars so we would all be a bit forced to think outside of the box regarding the quilt layout.
My quilt top has been sitting finished for months. I wasn't sure how I wanted to quilt it...I had some dreams of hand quilting. But last week I decided to face reality, it was not going to happen. I feel like every second of my day is filled up and I really wanted to finish this quilt. So I decided to try one of the free motion quilting techniques in Angela's new book, a double loop.
I'm really pleased with how the quilt turned out. I love the colors (the fabric is Secret Garden by Sandi Henderson). The scrappy part of the quilt is similar to my Good Folks Scrappy quilt. You basically just cut strips of varying widths and sew them in columns. Then you sew the columns together until you have your desired width of quilt top.
The back is a mixture of a solid I had around the house and left over fat quarters from the Secret Garden line. The binding is Free Spirit Designer Solid Flamingo.
The final quilt measures 54" x 60". You can find links to all the star tutorials as well as more layout ideas on the Solstice Stars Series tab at the top of my blog.

Third Place CTC National Volunteer of the Year and CTC Voluntary Group of the Year – Sue Blaylock
Third Place CTC National Volunteer of the Year and CTC Voluntary Group of the Year – Sue Blaylock
Sue has overseen the growth of the club from using a handful of borrowed bikes to owning over 170 adapted cycles. Around 450 riders with disabilities regularly attend cycling sessions. The success of the Wheelers has led to two similar groups being formed in South Manchester. Sue has stepped down from her PE teaching career in order to commit even more of her own time to her passion. Her dedication, and that of her colleagues, was recognised with the Queens Award for Voluntary Services in 2011.
Sue told CTC: "People often ask why I volunteer – it's hard to explain but it's so rewarding. To see a child with brain injuries riding a bike and loving it – there's nothing better. Starting Wythenshawe Wheelers is one of the best things I've ever done – I'm so proud of what we've achieved."

BBstone necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 85 diseños de 20 diseñadores freelance.
BBstone Collection, http://www.bbstone.etsy.com
Hello! I have been designing jewerly for about four years. I love doing it. I have a passion for all the amazing stones and gold! My jewelry is pretty bold, I have statement pieces as well as dainty everyday wear jewelry. The average price of a piece would be around 80-100 bucks. I need to create a logo that portrays the following: fun, cultural, rich, simple, natural, organic, formal and casual, for ages 25-50. I have a good idea of what I want, but there is definately room for creativity. I do not want a boring corporate looking logo.
Women, ages 25 to 50. Affluent enough to spend money on nice things. Classy and fashionable.
What I am looking for:
-Font: I love a font called Port Credit, it can be found on http://www.dafont.com. I am open to see other fonts, but this will at least give you an idea of what I like. I want it to be feminine, but not curly/swirly font. Nothing too girly or over the top.
-Overall look: I want the logo to be simple and easy to read, but not boring.
-The brand is BBstone Collection. I would like the word stone to tie into the logo somehow. I thought about making a stone shape around the words in a subtle way; stacking rocks in front of the word BBstone; putting a gem in as the "o" in stone; I am open to ideas.
-Feel: The pictures of BBstone jewelry on the website will have a natural backgrounds like stone, grass, tree roots, tan skin.
-Setup: I want the word BBstone to be in all caps, but I want the BB to be larger that the rest of the word. "Collection" can be more subtle, small, and understated, but legible.
-Color: The colors I am playing around with are dark brown, greys or black. The logo needs to look good in black and white as well as in color. A dark charcoal grey might be nice. I want to be able to apply it to my website as well. Any accent color, like a gemstone or something should be green or blue-green.
-Size: The logo needs to look good small or blown up large.
-Ownership: I want to own the artwork once it is designed.

Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 112 diseños de 23 diseñadores freelance.
We are looking for a logo to promote our Church mission statement:
- Connecting with God
- Connecting with each other
- Connecting with the community
We'd like a logo to reinforce our aim on letterheads, newsletters and powerpoint presentations.
The Salvation Army Tea Tree Gully
The Salvation Army already has an organisational logo (http://www.salvationarmy.org), but we are interested in complementing this with our church direction – building closer relationships with God / Christ, with each other / our Church / our congregation, and with our community.
- Christ – The Salvation Army is a Christian organisation, so Christ can be represented by God, Jesus or the Holy Spirit – we aim to learn more about God, have closer communication etc;
- Church – People associated with the faith, families attending the church – we aim to connect, teach, strengthen and encourage each other;
- Community – People living in the area surrounding our Church (http://www.teatreegully.sa.gov.au/p…typen=html), people who come to us for help/welfare, people our congregation has contact with at work, school, sports etc - we aim to reach out to our community to build relationships with them, share our lives/experiences with them and share our love for God with them;
- Ability to grayscale without impact for print material;
- Vector (.eps, .pdf, .ai) or Layered (.psd, .tiff) formats so we can use in different mediums;
- Words are not necessary if mission is presented clear enough, however can have words if they are suitable;
- No need to mention "The Salvation Army" or "Tea Tree Gully" at all as we'll likely include the organisational logo with it on most mediums;
- No cartoon characters;

Product Details
Oceanlily's Deep Halter Maternity Tankini takes the tankini to a new level of fashion style. The close cut tankini top provides more of a form fit from below the bust to partway below the belly.

Side drawstrings allow fine adjustment of the length although this maternity cut tankini is generally designed to stay below the belly with little or no belly exposure. You may pull it down really low if desired. The deep V-neck and contrasing bands of color highlight this maternity swimsuit's style cues. Soft padded built in bra for support, comfort, and modesty. Bikini bottoms are a moderate cut with 1" waistband. Flat seams throughout. The stretchy nylon / lycra fabric is tight woven and grows with your changing body. Our testers loved the feminine styling and the comfortable fit of this suit.

Reconnoitering Trips Northern Nevada, Southwestern Idaho (and a Blip of Southeastern Oregon Thrown in for Good Measure) June 19 - 28, 2001 This is the trip that I consider to be my favorite trip I have ever undertaken. It had been in the planning stages since the previous December. Originally, quite a number of people were invited and had semi-committed themselves to come along. Over time, however, eventually the number of people whose semi-commitments became firm commitments to this trip narrowed to four. And I was one of them. Between June 19 and 27, 2001, I undertook a trip throughout northern Nevada, southeastern Oregon and southwestern Idaho in search of ghost towns, adventure and to enjoy the wide open spaces that the Great Basin is known for. Beside myself, there was Alan Patera, of Oregon; Graham, of the California Bay Area; and Gil, of southern California. Since we were coming from different points on the map, we elected Midas, Nevada - located in the far western side of Elko County northeast of Winnemucca, as a meeting point. Gil was originally going to drive to my primary home, then at Ridgecrest, California, and ride with me. However, at the last minute, he changed his mind and drove his car the entire trip. Graham and I chose to meet at Hawthorne, Nevada or at Mono Lake, depending on the circumstances of our first morning travels. Alan was to meet Graham and I in the evening at Midas on our first day out. Gil planned to meet us at noon the following day at Midas. My 4x4 rig at the time was my 1996 Chevrolet S-10. It was bone stock, with standard suspension. It was powered by the 4.3 liter V6 with the higher power option; a 5-speed manual transmission; standard, lever activated 4x4 transfer case. The interior sported the LS option package, which included upgraded interior materials; but the truck still had manual crank windows, no tilt steering wheel; and had an aftermarket cruise control installed. Other options were bucket seats and console. The truck had nearly 100,000 miles on it when we started. It turned over the century mark during this trip, on a dirt road in the wide open spaces of north-central Elko County. Graham drove a 1990 Chevrolet ¾-ton 4x4 pickup with a low profile, pop-up camper. The truck is scarcely optioned, running a 350 cubic inch V8 and a 5-speed manual transmission. Graham has equipped the truck over the years for expedition and is well equipped to tackle everything. However, his truck became problematic over the course of the trip. Alan Patera drove his bone stock 1997 Ford Explorer. It's the most stripped Explorer I've seen, virtually no options. It's well used off road and the lack of fluff has suited this rig well. Gill tagged along in his 1990 Pontiac Grand Prix. He slept in it, ate in it and drove it over miles of dirt roads. The car would have escaped unscathed, if not for his hitting a deer on the dirt road between Tuscaurora and Midas after he split from our group on the last day we all were together. He continued to drive his wrecked car for a couple more days, until he stopped to visit friends in Reno. My camera at the time was one of the original Sony Mavica digital cameras, with a resolution of 640x480. For storage of photos, it used standard floppy disks. The Mavica was in its dying stages at the time, I had owned it about three years. It started acting up on the second day of the trip; completely quit, inexplicably began working again, then died completely on the last day of this adventure. I took a 35mm Pentax camera along as a backup, but had taken along a roll of old film. None of the photos I took with the Pentax came out, I had shot one roll. When processing the many disks of digital photos, I found that about ten or eleven disks had been corrupted by issues with the camera, so that I was not able to extract the images from the disks, loosing around 200 images. Many of the lost images were of ghost towns, such as in the case of National, Nevada; so that I have no images whatsoever of that location, others few. My written documentation for each day of the trip will be in a rather paraphrased format, but includes all travel and most experiences. You can gather the rest of the trip from the video and photos. I will break the six plus hours of edited video taken and cut down to videos for each single day, along with a photo slide show at the end. This thread will contain all content from this trip from start to end. In a break from my past custom when presenting video on this forum, and due to the volume and number of ghost towns visited, I will not write up a history for the ghost towns or historic places visited. That is far too time consuming and labor intensive. There are plenty of written and web resources if one wishes to pursue their quest for knowledge of these sites. Below, a list of historic locations we visited – in the order that we visited them: 1. Bodie & Benton Railway, California. 2. Stillwater, Nevada. 3. White Cloud City (Coppereid), Nevada. 4. Unionville, Nevada. 5. Midas, Nevada. 6. Spring City, Nevada. 7. Paradise Valley, Nevada. 8. Buckskin, Nevada. 9. National, Nevada. 10. Delamar, Idaho. 11. Silver City, Idaho. 12. Rio Tinto, Nevada. 13. Pattsville, Nevada. 14. Aura, Nevada. 15. Cornucopia, Nevada. 16. Edgemont, Nevada (from a distance – on private property) 17. White Rock, Nevada (from a distance – on private property) 18. Tuscaurora, Nevada. 19. Dinner Station, Nevada. 20. Metropolis, Nevada. 21. Charleston, Nevada. 22. Jarbidge, Nevada.

Boeing is developing a simulation technology that places pilots at odds against real aircraft and computer-generated enemy threats simultaneously.
The technology is being developed under a $6.3 million, three-year contract with the U.S. Air Force Research laboratory for the U.S. Air Force F-15E and the U.S. Navy F/A-18E/F aircraft. The training environment generally features an actual combat aircraft, networked with ground-based simulation computers that produce computer generated virtual threats.
"The integrated training environment can generate warfighter readiness and make aviation flight training much more effective," said John Schwering, business development leader for integrated live, virtual and constructive training at Boeing. "Training can be significantly enhanced by increasing the overall threat density with the use of more sophisticated constructive adversary aircraft and ground-based electronic warfare threats."
Boeing recently completed flight tests with the new technology featuring two F/A-18Es and two F-15Es in simulated combat between two live F-16s and 12 virtual aircraft.

This book leaves Cookie and his chuck-wagon stove in the dust and sets a whole new standard for cast-iron. Educating the reader on everything from how to buy cast-iron to how to season and care for it, the book covers all the necessities of cast-iron cooking. Instead of just showing you how to cook your everyday skillet dishes on the iron, the book moves beyond conventional and teaches whole new ideas and skillet paradigms… This book is an absolute requirement for the kitchen.
San Francisco / Sacramento Book Review
Is there anything that can't be made in a cast-iron skillet? We pull ours out any chance we get for Baked Mac and Cheese, Pull-Apart Rolls and Tarte Tatin. We're looking forward to testing out the Tamarind-Glazed Crab, Sizzling Shrimp with Smoked Paprika and Apple French Toast Bread Pudding recipes in the cookbook, Cast Iron Skillet Big Flavors. Sharon Kramis and Julie Kramis Hearne have developed over 90 recipes for flavorful yet simple home cooking in one of the best kitchen pieces of equipment we've ever owned.
Leite's Culinaria
These aren't just some skillet devotees. Kramis studied with James Beard and has written several cookbooks, and her daughter, Hearne, hails from the Herbfarm, the renowned restaurant just outside Seattle. The new book offers 90 recipes for a wide variety of cast iron-perfect fare, from smoked salmon hash with tricolor potatoes to skillet-roasted mussels, frizzled kale, cornmeal cobbler and more. And the breakfast (or breakfast-for-supper) chapter may send you
straight to the kitchen.
