Solomon Eyster of Barry Township – Died at Mower General Hospital, Philadelphia
Posted By Norman Gasbarro on March 2, 2013
The discovery of veterans who have previously not been included in the Civil War Research Project is now happening on an almost daily basis. To the list of veterans must now be added Solomon Eyster of Barry Township, Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania, whose name was discovered in a book honoring veterans of the area around Valley View, Schuylkill County.
In the Valley View area veterans' book, it is stated that Solomon Eyster was believed to be the son of Rev. George Eyster, who was the first minister of St. John's (Kimmel's) Lutheran Church, Barry Township, serving from 1816-1826. However, no documentation was given for this information.
Solomon Eyster has also been found in records as Solomon Oyster and Solomon Eister.
At Pottsville, Solomon Eyster enrolled in the 48th Pennsylvania Infantry as a Private in Company D, on 23 August 1861 and was mustered into service at Harrisburg on 16 September 1861.
The Pennsylvania Veterans' Index Card from the Pennsylvania Archives (shown above) indicates that he was 22 years old, had a light complexion, stood 5 foot 8 inches tall, and was a farmer who was residing in Schuylkill County.
Solomon Eyster was wounded twice while serving in the 48th Pennsylvania Infantry. He was first wounded at Antietam in 1862 and after recovering, he returned to his regiment. The second time he was wounded was at Petersburg in June 1864, after which he was sent to Mower General Hospital in Philadelphia.
The death record (below) notes that Solomon Eyster died of exhaustion from a gunshot wound in his left shoulder. The record was obtained through Ancestry.com.
The historical marker (below) describes Mower General Hospital, which was razed following the Civil War.
The web site of the Library Company of Philadelphia has a photographic exhibit of Mower General Hospital. Eighteen photographs of the hospital, which were taken by John Moran are found in the on-line exhibit.
Designed as a pavilion hospital by Philadelphia architect John McArthur Jr., the large facility was composed of a central enclosed complex of administrative and utility buildings. The complex was surrounded by a central corridor from which forty-seven patient wards radiated to theoretically better control the spread of infection. Strategically located opposite the Chestnut Hill Depot of the Reading Railroad, Mower received and treated over 17,000 injured soldiers transported directly from the battlefield between January 1863 – May 1865. Patients were received at the entrance, assigned to a bed in the hospital, and treated by a staff of nearly 200 surgeons, nurses, and ward masters whose work was facilitated by tramways within the wards and specially designed carts to provide medical supplies and food.
The print shown below is from Wikipedia and shows the physical arrangement of the hospital, with the administrative buildings in the center and the central corridor, from which the 47 patient wards radiated.
After his death on 20 August 1864, the remains of Solomon Eyster were returned to his family in Barry Township, Schuylkill County, for burial.
The mother of Solomon Eyster, Sarah [Merkel] Eyster, applied for pension benefits in 1879, about the same time as her husband George Eyster died (Solomon's father). She was able to receive a pension based on her son's service (Pension Index Card shown above from Ancestry.com).
Solomon's place of burial is noted on a Pennsylvania Archives Burial Record Card (below) which are available through Ancestry.com.
The grave marker of Solomon Eyster is located in a small, private cemetery in Deep Creek Valley, Barry Township, Schuylkill County, and is shown above (from Findagrave).
Deep Creek Valley, the part of Barry Township where Solomon Eyster lived and is buried, crosses the township from east to west and can be seen on the 1855 map above (the words "Deep Creek" appear just above the "RR" in the word "Barry). To the left (or west) is Hegins Township, a part of which touches Dauphin County.
If any readers have additional information about Solomon Eyster, his family or his military service – particularly stories and pictures – the submissions would be gratefully received. Contact: e-mail.
Pennsylvania Veterans' Index Cards are from the Pennsylvania Archives. The map of Barry Township from 1855 is also from the Pennsylvania Archives and is cropped from a larger map of Schuylkill County. The initial information about Solomon Eyster was obtained from Our Veterans, Our Local Heroes.

BEIRUT, Lebanon — An Ethiopian maid who was filmed being abused in Beirut has committed suicide, Al Jazeera reported.
Alem Dechasa, the maid, was filmed being dragged by her hair and beaten by Ali Mahfouz outside the Ethiopian consulate in Beirut. Mahfouz then is seen shoving the struggling Dechasa into the back door of his BMW. The video sparked a controversy and threw light onto a persistent problem of abuse faced by some of the estimated 200,000 migrant workers in Lebanon.
The 33-year-old woman hanged herself this morning with the bed sheets of Psychiatrique de la Croix Hospital bed she was staying in, according to The Daily Star.
More from GlobalPost: Lebanon: Filmed abuse of Ethiopian domestic worker sparks outrage (VIDEO)
Ethiopia banned economic migration to Lebanon in 2008, according to The Daily Star, after it "probed the human right violations and domestic violence Ethiopian migrants face behind closed doors in Beirut while employed as maids." But many women still travel to Lebanon to look for work because demand remains strong. Scores of domestic workers have died, committed suicide, or been killed by their employers in Lebanon over the past decade.

Ethiopia's consul general in Lebanon, Asaminew Debelie Bonssa said he had seen Dechasa on Sunday and she seemed well. He told the Star he was "deeply shocked" by the news.

Firefox uses Google's Safe Browsing API to protect users against visiting malicious and phishing sites, Safari also uses the same API to offer malware and phishing protection to their users where Chrome browser uses Safe Browsing API 2 which even protects users from malicious downloads.
How malware and phishing protection in Firefox works
If you're interested to know how Firefox protects rather warns when you visit a malicious or phishing site , here is the explanation in in brief: when you visit a site Firefox generates hash value for that URL and sends first part of the URL to Safe Browsing API. Safe Browsing API then responds to Firefox by sending list of bad site hash values that matches the first part, Firefox checks whether hash value of user visited site is in the list send by Google then it warns the user.
Stop Sending Google's Cookie with SafeBrowsing API requests
With phishing and malware protection turned on by default, whenever Firefox sends requests for SafeBrowsing API a Google cookie will be set, this cookie is sent with each update request to Google's server where privacy complications may arise. This cookie contains track usage of the browser by particular user like at what time user visited the site, how long he stayed, his IP address and other details which Mozilla don't wants now.
Sid Stamm, Security and privacy guy@ Mozilla is now working with Google to use that Cookie for quality of service than for tracking you around the web.
"The most straightforward way to do this is to split the Firefox cookie jar into two: one for the web and one for the Safe Browsing feature. It's not there yet, but with a little engineering work, in a future version of Firefox that cookie will only be used for Safe Browsing, and not sent with every request to Google as you browse the web." sid notes in his blog.
Google's cookie can be turned off by disabling third party cookies in Firefox or turning off malware and phishing protection, later one is not recommended for Firefox users.
Recently Google added download scanning protection to Chrome 17 which protects users from malicious downloads, Mozilla is also looking into this as Firefox needs to send more URLs to Google. Mozilla considers adding these features only when Google shares significant gain in protection encountered by their pilot deployment in Chrome.

Suppose you're writing a scrolling game for very limited hardware. You have a frame buffer which is larger than the visible screen, but smaller than the entire level. So when the screen scrolls upwards (for example) you may need to plot a new set of tiles into the frame buffer just above the current screen position, so that the correct image will be displayed when the top of the visible screen overlaps the space where those tiles are plotted.
Now suppose that the hardware is so limited that there is not enough CPU time to plot an entire row of tiles each time you pass a tile boundary - perhaps you can get 60fps normally, but every time you pass a tile boundary you drop a frame or two while the new row of tiles is drawn into the frame buffer.
To avoid this glitch, instead of drawing all tiles at once, we can just draw one or two each frame. Suppose there are N tiles horizontally across the screen, and it takes M frames to scroll upwards by the span of 1 tile. Then we can draw N/M tiles each frame, and by the time the top of the screen gets to the bottom of a particular row of tiles, all of those tiles have been drawn.
Now we need to keep track of which tiles have been drawn and which haven't. The obvious way to do this would be to just have an array of bits, 1 for "tile has been drawn" and 0 for "tile needs to be drawn". Now, each frame when we draw a tile we can iterate through the array to find the first tile that hasn't been drawn and draw that one.
But what if there are rather a lot of tiles? Iterating through all those slots to find a "needs to be drawn" one could take a while, especially if all the undrawn slots are all the way over to the right. So we've turned a O(N) operation (N being the number of tiles drawn) into a O(N2) operation. Oh, and did I forget to mention that this is a 2D scrolling game? So we'll have a similiar list for each side of the screen, and each time we pass a tile boundary going vertically, we'll have to shift the left and right lists one tile.
How can we get rid of this quadratic behavior? Well, I think a data structure that should work well is a linked list. If we put the information about one tile slot in each node of the list, that makes it O(1) to shift the whole list one tile forwards or back for lateral scrolling, but doesn't fix the O(N2) search behavior. However, notice that we only need to store 1 bit of information about each tile slot. So what we can do is apply a run-length-encoding transformation to the list. Each node stores a pair of numbers - the length of a run of drawn tiles and the lengh of a run of undrawn tiles immediately following it.
Now all the operations we need are O(1). For the "top of screen" list, scrolling left or right by one tile just involves adding a slot to one end of the list and removing one from another. Finding the next tile to be drawn just involves looking at the first element of the list. We need two more operations: throwing away the entire list and replacing it with an "all drawn" list (for scrolling downwards) and throwing away the entire list (hopefully a single "all drawn" entry) and replacing it with a "none drawn" list (for scrolling downwards). Throwing away a list with potentially many entries sounds like it could potentially be an O(N) operation, but as it's a linked list we can move all the nodes to a "free nodes" list just by modifying the ends.
As always where performance is concerned, be sure to actually benchmark this before using it - depending on the hardware and the number of tiles in question, all that pointer chasing and cleverness may actually be slower than the naive bit array method. This is especially true if you're not in a hard-real-time situation, and the average case behavior matters more than the worst case behavior. Constant time algorithms have a definite appeal from an the aesthetics pespective, though.

Round 4 Quarterfinals Are Set!
Week 1 Winners: The Spin Wires
Week 2 Winners: The Heavenly Chillbillies
Week 3 Winners: Mon-Byrds
Week 4 Winners: Like a Parrot
Congratulations to the four bands that have won a slot in our live Battle of Original Music: The Spin Wires, The Heavenly Chillbillies, Mon-Byrds, and our most recent winners, Like a Parrot!
These four acts will square off in person at Nietzsche's on Friday, May 23 (beginning 10pm, $5 at the door, ages 21+ strictly enforced). Folkfaces, Pine Fever, and the Naturalists earned their spots in the finals through the first three rounds, and once again in Round 4, the band that collects the most ballots from concert-goers that night will win a slot along side them in the BOOM Grand Finale on June 6th at The Tralf. There, one talented act will be crowned the Artvoice BOOM Grand Champion and walk away with $5000 cash, plus some other perks from our friends at 107.7FM.
Recent B.O.O.M. Grand Champions include local notables TypeRelevant, Photos of Wagons, The Etchings, The Tins, and last year's winners, Randle and the Late Night Scandals.
Since 2006, the Artvoice Battle of Original Music has provided exposure to hundreds of area artists, through our weekly online contests and our live shows. We couldn't have done it without the generous sponsors who've supported our contest with their time, talent, and treasure over the years. We've given away everything from musical gear, to recording time, to packaged CDs, to tattoos! Plus over $25,000 in cash. But the thing never would have lasted a week without all the musicians who are out there working to create their own unique sound, and craft their own sincere message to share with us. And of course, it would all be for naught were it not for the great, enthusiastic local music fans who've visited our Web site and packed the venues at our live shows. We're lucky to have such a happening scene, and Artvoice is proud to play a little part in it.
So we'll see you all at Nietzsche's on May 23rd, where one of the bands above will win a coveted slot in our BOOM Grand Finale (coming June 6th!) Come out and let your voice be heard. And as always, may the best band win.
We're nearing the end, and the Grand Finale is coming on June 6th. Visit the BOOM website for more information, and to catch up on the contest so far.

Truly excellent tomatoes are a rare thing, indeed. Your average grocery store tomato is a sad ghost of a proud garden tomato. I have had several tomato encounters that have stopped me in my place, elicited a moan of joy and understanding, and bonded me to the pursuit of great tomatoes. That's not to say that I am a connoisseur. My status is more like the great Supreme Court quote about racy pictures, "I know it when I see it."¹ Or, rather, I know it when I taste it. But, truly excellent tomato needs nothing, save perhaps a sprinkle of salt. But, insalata caprese is a good and simple further adornment of fine tomatoes. Simple but high quality additions of mozzarella, garden fresh basil, olive oil, and a fine balsamic vinegar don't so much elevate the tomato as they are fitting orchestra mates. In sum, they create a bite to be appreciated. They create a bite to be experienced more than a bite of mere sustenance.
So this is really nothing more than insalata caprese. It is an antipasti more than a salad, actually. I found a container of mixed grape and cherry tomatoes at Whole Foods and couldn't walk past them because, frankly, they were pretty and I wanted to play with them, and photograph them, and make a dish around them. An old college friend from SMU, Heather Conklin, sent me a note saying, "I bought those too!" So I know that if I'm crazy I'm in excellent company. I still have a few drops of an incredible Balsamic vinegar of which I used about 12 drops for the entire dish. With a great vinegar, that is enough. But this was a gift from the maker, and you need not purchase anything this grand. However, I would encourage you to treat yourself to something more special than the Balsamics that are on the shelf at the grocery store. This is just one of those things. If you want to know what excellent balsamic is, you do not need to pay a fortune…but you must seek it out from a fine foods store and taste for yourself.²
But, I have made one addition here with which you might not be familiar. I added sliced Coppa. Coppa, also called Capocolla, is a cured meat that comes from the neck or collar of the pig. It is a cured whole piece of meat that is thinly sliced. It is a fine salumi. This is opposed to salami which is a chopped meats mixed with fats and cured. So, as I stated in my Fig, Salami & Stilton post, all salami is salumi but not all salumi is salami. Got it? But this was a great discovery for me, because as I ate a slice of this delicious meat, I instantly remembered having eaten it in Italy some 20 years ago on a little post-college jaunt. I had it then and loved it, but had no idea what it was nor what its name was. I never came across the same thing again but clearly it had made an impression on me. In an instant, last week, it all came back to me. I also found this Coppa at Whole Foods. It is an Applegate Organic and Natural Meats product. I wish I understood all of this better. But I really do not like Prosciutto all that much. But, I love Coppa.
I also found the cheese at Whole Foods and it was Crave Brothers "pearl size" Mozzarella. I bought it because it was cute and matched the tomatoes. Fortunately, it was also very good. So much for sounding knowledgeable.
I make dishes like this on "pick and choose" nights which I guess is my Texas version of an antipasti course. We have a plate of sliced fruit and warm bread with good butter and honey. It makes for an easy and delightful dinner on these nights that are still quite hot.
|Insalata Caprese with Coppa
- 12 ounces mixed grape and cherry tomatoes
- 8 ounces "pearl" balls of mozzarella cheese
- 3 ounces Coppa, thinly sliced
- fresh basil leaves
- 1 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon fine Balsamic vinegar
- a pinch of kosher or chunky sea salt
- Rinse the tomatoes and slice any large ones. Place the tomatoes, cheese, and sliced Coppa on a platter surrounded by basil leaves. Place torn basil leaves on top of the other ingredients. You can vary the amounts of each component of this dish according to your taste. It is entirely up to you.
- Drizzle with olive oil and a few drops of fine balsamic vinegar. Season with sea salt or Kosher salt.
¹ Justice Potter Stewart concurring in Jacobellis v. Ohio, 378 v. Ohio, 378 U.S. 184 (1964) stated about obscenity with regard to a French film called Les Emants or The Lovers, "I shall not today attempt further to define the kinds of material I understand to be embraced within that shorthand description; and perhaps I could never succeed in intelligibly doing so. But, I know it when I see it, and the motion picture involved in this case is not that." I'm not here trying to bore you with the law, but this is just one of those cases that every person who has ever stepped foot into a law school knows…kind of like the hairy hand case and the case of the good ships Peerless. But "I know it when I see it" has become short hand for knowing something that is somewhat indescribable.
² The lovely vinegar I used here is called Traditional Aceto Balsamico of Monticello. It is organic and thick and lovely. But I also like Aceto Balsamico of Modena which you can get at Sur La Table. And, if you live in Dallas, Artizone will deliver a number of fine vinegars and olive oils.

EliZe is a Dutch singer-songwriter.
Growing up in Bussum, EliZe shared her mother's passion for singing. As an eight year old she was selected to sing in a children's television show, "Kinderen voor Kinderen" ("Children for Children"), in which she performed for six years. From this period she is best known for singing "Het tietenlied" ("the tits song"), about a girl getting into puberty.
After Kinderen voor Kinderen, she joined 'Non Stop', a teenage choir, and participated in two amateur productions of the musicals Chicago and Les Misérables.
For the last couple of years, she has been active as a background singer in a song contest for children, and has completed a training college program for executive secretaries.[citation needed]
In 2004, EliZe recorded an album in Denmark. The songs were written and produced by Peter Hartmann and Jan Langhoff, who also worked with Aqua. The first single, "Shake", was released in 2004 in the Netherlands. Though the song received the title "Dancesmash!" by Radio 538, the single was a modest hit by peaking at number 32 on the Dutch Top 40. "Automatic (I'm Talking to You)", the second single, was released in 2005 in the Netherlands and also earned the title "Dancesmash!" shortly after its release. The song became her signature song, peaking at number 7 there and becoming her best-selling single to date. It is also the first song that has ever charted outside the Netherlands, charting in Finland and Belgium amongst others in the top 20. Her third single, "I'm No Latino", was released in August 2005, and became a TMF Superclip shortly after its introduction. The song didn't perform as well as "Automatic" did, but still managed to peak at number 14 on the Dutch Top 40 and remaining in the chart for 6 weeks.
EliZe has signed a contract at CMM and placed her management activities under AT Productions. Her latest single "Into Your System" was released on July 2nd 2006 and it debuted at number number 33 the week after its release in the national Top 40. The following week, it superstipped itself to number 23. Following the latest two singles, also "Into Your System" reached the top 20, peaking at number 18. Following the success of the singles, she released her long awaited debut album In Control on September 29, 2006. Of the album, which was released in the Benelux too, rumors were circulating it to be named Rhythm of Love. The album peaked at number 66 in the Dutch Mega Album Top 100. Many critics have the opinion the album should have been released after the success of her second single "Automatic." Possibly due the fact the fifth single "Itsy Bitsy Spider" flopped in the Netherlands, the album did not do well either. However the original song "Itsy Bitsy Spider" did not chart on the national Top 40, it did chart on the Mega Single Top 100, one of the two other official singles chart, only composed by legal downloads and physical single sales. The single debuted at number 100 on that chart and peaked at number 54 the next week.
Since 2007, EliZe became yearclub mother of CERTUS; Nyenrode Heeren Jaarclub '07.
In 2008 she released the first single of her forthcoming album, Lovesick. This single wasn't very succesful in the Netherlands but charted at #1 in Bulgaria. The second single of her new album will be Hot Stuff, a cover from Donna Summer.

Villa v Liverpool Match Report
Villa Park
Attendance: 41 647
Well, I must admit I'm confused...! I thought we drew against a team who have finished in the top four for the last ten odd seasons. I thought we'd battled and in patches looked by far the more likely to win. I thought we cancelled them out and snuffed out most of the threats from them and I also thought that most of our players gave their all today to compete against a club who are regulars in the champions league and who have spent millions and millions of pounds more than us assembling their team.
How wrong I must have been as listening to the Tom Ross phone in on the way home, it all seemed doom and gloom with some of the players being slated and many fans whining about all sorts.
When did the memo go round that Villa have a Paul McGrath (God) given right to win and why didn't I get a copy?
From start to finish today Villa competed, we definitely gave as good as we got and I'm sorry, I don't care that Steven Gerrard wasn't playing, they aren't a one man team are they? Their players are worth millions, they have plenty of world class and international players but rarely if ever did you feel that they would get the better of us. Villa are still building, today although we could have won a draw is not exactly a disaster, hopefully the players will have got a bit more belief from today and will keep building up so they really do realise they are a match for any team on their day and that they don't need to fear any opponents.
I say we could have won and sorry to point fingers but John Carew had the best chance and just 'passed' it towards Liverpool's goal. That chance was far easier than the great goal he scored against Stoke, so why so tame? That proved to be our main chance and unfortunately our star striker fluffed his lines. That said, I'd rather see someone fluff their lines rather than the other - Gabby Agbonlahor - just strutting around, usually totally out of position and mostly ten paces behind where he should have been. The supply might not have been great today but he did not help the midfield one bit by not running into decent positions and threatening.
That is the only criticism I can come up with, the one striker was pretty much a liability - which is such a shame after the great hat trick to start the season - and the other tried and tried but missed his best chance. I guess you can say he just flicks the ball on all day but then, if the likes of Michael Owen (hint hint Villa, go get him!!!) was on the pitch he would feed off those flicks all day long.
I really enjoyed the game, I thought it was one of the best 0-0's I've seen in years, maybe I'm just in a chilled mood and having a laugh with he people around me at Villa, but I don't think so, I think it is just that the belief is returning and whereas in previous years Liverpool would have come and been guaranteed 3 points, today we walked out disappointed not to have taken maximum points ourselves. Is that not progress in itself?! Some seem to forget just how good Liverpool's defense is.
Some have said that both teams played for a draw. I don't see that and especially Martin O'Neill tried to shake things up and made changes. Both full backs were brought off with Nigel Hokey-Cokey - who had a storming game today, what a difference a new right sided midfielder makes ! - and Gareth Barry, who wasn't as bad as some would have you believe, moving back to make way for Craig Gardner and Milner. Some have asked why the full backs were brought off? Well, Shorey was only just back from injury and Young is only just getting to know the team. It might have been a slightly confusing change but at least MON was trying things and bringing on James Milner was a sign that MON was trying to win the game.
I've just eaten three packets of sweets and now feel sick. I digress...
The only thing I'd question is why Gabby wasn't brought off to give Harewood 10 or 15 minutes to give the Liverpool defense something to think about. But then I'm sure MON, who knows a little bit more than me about his players, would point to the Hare's no show on Thursday in the UEFA cup game. That said, he is an impact player and Gabby wasn't exactly doing anything. Again, it just shows how much we do need another striker, just over 24 hours to find one, tick tock, tick tock! I reckon we'll get one you know.
So some see this as a wasted opportunity, maybe it was, but to come out of Villa Park disappointed that we'd not got all three points against Liverpool is a sign that Villa are on the way back and you have to applaud the fact we kept a clean sheet. So whilst others aren't happy, I've thoroughly enjoyed the day, I'd obviously have loved to see us win it, especially if we'd knicked it right at the end, but hey ho, things are on the up and I'm loving it!

Title: Shadows
Author: Paula Weston
Published: Tundra Books, September 2013
Source: bought a copy
Links: [goodreads][amazon.com][the book depository]
It's almost a year since Gaby Winters watched her twin brother die. In the sunshine of a new town her body has healed, but her grief is raw and constant. It doesn't help that every night in her dreams she fights and kills hell-beasts. And then Rafa comes to town. Not only does he look exactly like the guy who's been appearing in Gaby's dreams, he tells her things about her brother and her life that cannot be true, things that are dangerous. Who is Rafa? Who are the Rephaim? And who is Gaby? The truth lies in the shadows of her nightmares.
After taking almost a year to recover from her trauma and grief, Gaby thought she could start over. But when people showed up, attacked her and demanded answers that made her doubt her own sanity, she was given no other choice but to work with a stranger named Rafa. Could she find out the reason behind why she was being attacked?
The story seemed a bit confusing at first. Our main character, Gaby, had holes in her memories. When people showed up and offered evidence that contradicted with what she could remember, she didn't know what to do. It was quite devastating to watch her feeling torn, learning and realizing why she couldn't trust her faulty memory. Since no one knew what had happened to her, we were all in the dark. I was eager to find out what might have happened and I sped through the pages without pausing. And when I didn't get the answers that I hoped to seek, I got hold of book two – although book two was awesome, I still haven't received the answers that I wanted – bet I have to wait for the next installment. *sigh*
What really stood out for me was the friendship between Gaby and her roommate Maggie. Maggie was such a supportive, non-demanding friend that I could see why Gaby valued the friendship and felt protective of her. I enjoyed reading their dialogue and it was fun to see how Maggie helped to add some fashion sense to Gaby's outfit.
Honestly, I don't know if I could trust Rafa. Because Gaby couldn't remember Rafa, she assumed he was a stranger, but we could all see that Rafa was holding back a lot of stuff. It was quite annoying to see him only offer bits of info as he saw fit. As of this stage, I think it's still too early to say whether or not he was altruistic but at least I liked that he was helping Gaby.
If you like sword-fighting scenes, you must add this series to your read list – Shadows and Haze (book two) have some of the best sword-fighting scenes that I've ever read and I absolutely loved the heart-pounding moments when Gaby wielded her katana!!
Personally, I'd like a bit more reference to back up the bit about the Rephaim, the Fallen and the demons but overall, I'd say Shadows offered a well-thought-out mystery with strong characters and addictive plots. I'll eagerly await the release of the next installment.

C&L Welcomes Jared Reynolds To The LNMC: 'A Man, A Spoon, And His Guitar'
Hello folks! My name is Jared Shade Reynolds and I am honored to be the 'new guy' here at LNMC. For my inaugural post I want to introduce you to a man I call 'Spoon Guitar Man', mainly for the fact that all I know about him is that he is a man who plays guitar with a spoon in his mouth. Everything about this video makes me pretty dang happy and I hope you feel the same after watching. What songs make you feel that all is well in the world, if only for a moment?

I am so thrilled to have Jared helping us here at the LNMC. He's a terrific musician who Ben Folds told me was da bomb. Here's a little bio of our new maestro so you get to know him better:
Jared Shade Reynolds grew up in places as exotic as Honduras, Costa Rica and South Carolina. He has spent the last 11 years of his life touring and recording as a bassist/vocalist for various musical acts, most notably Ben Folds and Brendan Benson.
He lives in Nashville with his wife Laura and their children, Belle and Shade. His love of food and books is only overshadowed by his obsession with distance running, and he hopes to have a masters in Social Work within the next five years.
Please welcome Jared to the site.

I do both of those
Sometimes you just have to look down. And I have it on 5 (stated before)
That's the lowest I'm comfortable going without colors being washed out

I bought a Quickfire Rapid on the spur of the moment with spare Paypal cash.
I don't think I made too bad a choice, so let's see what it's like.
Bought a Logitech G510.. more useable than whatever I had before (That was a cheap thing, this cost me like 80 but its got media controls and a load of macro keys and a full size layout..)
Still, wish I could be on a mech...
When I get my own house... one day..
hell you could have gotten the Blackwidow for $80
I've got a Black Widow.
Mum err, doesn't allow me to use it.
I've just aquired a QPad MK-80. Best keyboard I've ever had.
How does the Das compared to the model M for loudness? I'm probably going to buy one for my next build, but I can't decide on the silent/loud or letters/blank keys. I do rather enjoy having a loud keyboard, but it'd be nice if it didn't keep others awake at night.
Too bad my father threw away a perfectly working Model M a few years ago.
Whats a good mechanical keyboard for 50-80$?
I picked up a Black Widow for 89.. Next cheapest I saw was Steel series 6gv2 for like 92
I'm not an expert but I think you're budgets a little low.
That is, for buying retail
I've always used Logitech keyboards, G15/G19/510 (have 4 of those). Those macrokeys and LCD means lots for me because I use every key very efficiently.
Anyway, I came up with a great plan which is. I'm gonna buy a Logitech G13 which have the screen and macrokeys and then a Corsair K90 as a mechanical. It looks like a G510 but without a screen.
Sooo the question is, can anyone vouch for K90 or should I look at another keyboard?
If you live in Europe I reccomend going with a QPad MK-50, their cheapest model, however it has no macro keys nor back lighting.
Money is not a problem for me so I guess K90 it is. Yea I know, I use them for Windows/software/games so its a must for me. Even the LCD which may seem like a gimmick to most is valuable for me. Mostly because of "Aida64" that shows temps and everything about your comp WHILE you're gaming/other stuff.
Something that I would like to have on a mechanical.
I tweeted @Logitech and they replied that they are looking into a G series Mech board and that I should post in a particular topic. So i did. Though it's not too active. A post every few days.
I think I'd only be satisfied from a feature point of view if they made a MX black G510 or G19.
Post in it and we'll all talk back and forth to make it more active.
Am I the only one that spent a lot of money on my computer so I wouldn't need to worry about checking temps/fps.
I got over the overclocking/statistic nut phase aaages ago.
I do moderate overclocks, not enough for me to want to check temps 24/7 but enough to get a nice result with stable temps.
It's not so much that I am worried, but it gives me more convenient access to system information.
Enjoying typing on it so far, but I'm not a very good touch typist averaging 45 WPM. Any enjoyable games or programs to help besides Typing of the Dead?
my S key got really wobbly lately, any idea how to fix?
Cherry blue, I have a plate mounted board so I had to desolder it to open it, the stem was broke. :( So I'm switching it with pause break, but I'm still wanting another key, if anyone has one for sale I'll buy it.
I see that they're on sale on some sites for cheap. I'll just order like two.
I tried using my Model M for gaming but it cancels the commands when I press two keys down at that same time. Example: If I move forward and I want to jump while moving forward I press the spacebar. Once I press the spacebar I stop moving after jumping. I feel like having two buttons down at the same time cancels both of the commands. Its kinda weird and has made gaming with my Model M impossible. I was wondering if it is a hardware issue which means its broken, or that it is a known issue with the keyboard.
Obviously if you get them wholesale set up selling thread on Geekhack/Deskthority.
Just deep-cleaned my das mx brown keyboard, soooo worth the 1 1/2 hours.
I'm thinking about modding my Das keyboard to have white LED cherry switches with some laser etched key caps for the light to shine through. It's going to take alto of tedious work getting each and ever switch out.
woah woah, what's this?
I wonder if these are any good

Last Tuesday, former president Clinton gave his support to altering the 22nd amendment so that it only limited the number of consecutive terms a person could serve as president, allowing people to leave office and serve again later:
I've always thought that should be the rule … I think as a practical matter, you couldn't apply this to anyone who has already served, but going forward, I personally believe that should be the rule.
How should we think about presidential term limits? Five points.
1) The presidency is different than other offices. I'm totally against any term limits for Representatives or Senators or other officeholders. For all the usual reasons.
But the presidency is far more politically powerful and, more importantly, more ripe for highly-consequential abuse. As Jonathan Bernstein noted while thinking about this a while back, presidents are in a unique position of influence across all policy areas, with lasting effects on the systemic power structure. Someone who could build even a modest House-like incumbency advantage would gain a whole lot of discretion without much of a check from popular elections. And that could have long-term consequences, for both the presidency and for the relative power of the presidency within the system. It's not clear what kind of incumbency advantage first-term presidents gain — for what it's worth, David Mayhew thinks it's pretty significant, and Larry Sabato's shop has hilariously calculated it at 4.4% — but it's hard to imagine it's nothing.
But the thing that scares me about a four-term president isn't that he might be winning the elections due to an artificial incumbency advantage. It's that the lack of rotation in the most powerful office might have a seriously corrosive effect on the democratic character of the system itself. The American system does not differentiate between the head of state and head of government, and the fusion of those two roles creates a presidency that not only embodies the nation, but also comes to define it. Ever been in the same general vicinity of a president who you didn't vote for and really don't care for? It's not uncommon for people to just start spontaneously clapping. That sort of gut-patriotism alone is enough to creep me out when I think about undoing the 22nd amendment; then I imagine someone turning 18 who can't ever remember anyone else being president.
2) The 22nd amendment has some negative consequences. Despite everything said above, there's little doubt that the 22nd amendment (or the norm that preceded it) has a few serious negative consequences, which can be broadly placed into three different buckets. First, second- term presidents have no electoral incentives to constrain their actions. Sure, public opinion polling matters and presidents certainly prefer to be in good standing over bad. And people like to talk about "legacy" as the constraint. But the observable actions of 2nd term presidents —like proposing politically-risky policies (like Bush re: SS privatization) or making inexcusable pardons — point toward these alleged constraints being quite different than the electoral connection. You might, of course, think these are good things, and it's true that they would be available to any president who knew he wasn't running again, but my instinct is that a higher percentage of presidents would leave office due to electoral defeat absent the 22nd, and so there would be an overall aggregate mitigation of these concerns.
The second issue is that the lame-duck status of the president tends to hamper his political effectiveness during his second term. Especially by the second Congress of his second term, the president begins to lose public attention and standing as the competitors for the nomination in both parties — as well as their policy prescriptions — arise. Similarly, the various tools of political leverage — patronage appointments, campaign assistance, greasing the skids for specific legislation — become less valuable and less effective, because presidents can't make future guarantees about anything that happens after the are out of office, and because they tend to run out of chits before then anyway. This point (as well as the first) is not a specific function of the 22nd amendment — it would be true of any last term president who made his intentions known prior to nomination season — but the amendment guarantees that half of any re-elected presidency will function under this cloud.
Finally, there's the crisis issue. It's a silly political saying, but there's a lot of merit to the don't-change-horses-midstream logic. I think FDR's decision to run in 1944 was quite justifiable. Much more so than in 1940. Roosevelt was managing a global war and had personal relationships with the leadership of our allies. It was a tough enough transition when he abruptly died; to crate 2+ months of lame-duckness followed by a change in command might have seriously impacted our global strategy and prospects. The point is that I think it would be a tough situation to be trapped in a long war or crisis situation and be constitutionally required to change leadership. This was one of the key minority arguments against the amendment in the committee report that came to the House floor with it.
3) We never really got to see the post-two-term world. When you stop and think about it, there was a very strange dynamic at play when the amendment was ratified in 1951. In effect, a constitutional amendment was passed to enforce a norm. But that raises the question: if the norm was so widely believed, what need was the amendment? And if the amendment was popular enough to pass, why wasn't the norm good enough? The answer, of course, is somehow related to FDR and/or the depression and the war. But it's an open question as to whether 3rd terms — or even presidents seeking 3rd terms — would have become commonplace.
It's true that the approval ratings of Eisenhower, Reagan, and Clinton were high enough during their last Congresses to plausibly have made reelection possible (Bush 43's were not). But there's too much endogeneity to know for sure, and 2nd term presidents might benefit from good feeling once they are out of the electoral game. But even though the norm had been crumbling for the better part of a century — Grant sought a non-consecutive nomination in 1880, TR ran for what would have more or less been a non-consecutive 3rd term in 1912 — it would still have had an impact, judging from the fact that the amendment was ratified. So it's far from clear that FDR would have opened the floodgates to 2nd term presidents automatically standing for re-election the way 1st term presidents do.
In effect, we've had four historical phases regarding the terms. First, in the patrician era there was strong elite opinion against the 3rd term, stemming from some combination of political theory, Founding thought, and Washington's example. Following Jackson's presidency and the onset of the powerful mass political parties, there was an institutional constraint on the 3rd term — the parties were loathe to nominate candidates even a second time, out of fear that the president could build his own patronage system and come to dominate the party, rather than be beholden to it. Later, in the later 19th and early 20th century, there existed a popular norm against the 3rd term, even as the parties warmed to the idea of multi-term candidates. Finally, beginning with the Eisenhower presidency, there is the constitutional rule.
4) Clinton's plan does not strike me as an improvement. There are two distinct ides in the 22nd amendment. The first is that no one should be president for more than 8 consecutive years (or 10 in the case of inheriting the office). The second is that no one should be president for more than 8 years (or 10) during their lifetime. Clinton's proposal is to scrap the second idea, and allow former presidents to stand for the office. There's an intuitive appeal to this; it certainly mitigates the incumbency-advantage issue. But it doesn't do anything to address the problems of the 2nd term president or the changing-horses-midstream problem.
And I think it comes with it's own problems. Former presidents in the modern age are not, by and large, political animals. They are around as statesmen and such, but they don't hang huge shadows over the political parties. If they were allowed to run again, but not run for a 3rd term, you might end up in a situation where they very much were shadows. That might not be a bad thing, it's pretty fuzzy. But my intuition is that presidents are quite influential in shaping the party ideology these days, and when combined with the open possibility of running again but having to sit on the sidelines, might create a mess. Could it work out well? Sure, I think Clinton in 2004 might have been a good and winning candidate. But we don't really know what a Clinton shadow over the party would have meant from 2001-2004.
5) On balance, I think it's a very close call on repeal. I'd probably end up opposing a straight repeal of the 22nd amendment, because I'm both risk-averse and very much an opponent of expanded presidential power. And that's what really worries me, the worst-case scenario: someone developing a personal cult, serving for seven terms, and then having his son elected to the office upon his death. It's farfetched, but in the age of the runaway executive I think any move that expands the power of the presidency has to be approached with an eye toward the worst-case scenarios. It's naive to think that a contemporary four-term president wouldn't develop a personal power that went beyond anything we've ever seen. And that's very troubling.
Still, I would be pretty torn about it. The problems with the unlimited system are, like the above hypothetical, almost completely theoretical, whereas the problems with the limited system are well-known and consistently evidenced in two-term presidencies. On this I agree with Bernstein; the best world would be the post-Jacksonian and pre-FDR world, where the norm was either culturally strong among voters or institutionally enforced by political parties jealous of the power multi-term presidents might acquire at their expense. And while the latter is unlikely to ever be coming back, the cultural/electoral norm could theoretically be resurrected.
Still, the ship has sailed on a two-term system held together by norms. Not because I don't think the norm exists in the modern mindset, but because the only plausible situation in which the 22nd amendment could be undone is one in which there is a groundswell against both the amendment and the norm. Nor do I think there are other workable solutions. I don't like Clinton's plan. I think a three-term limit would be completely counterproductive, embodying the worst of both an unlimited system and the 22nd amendment system. And you don't have to live in Virginia to know that all the proposals for a single 6-year term are insane.

There are twelve study units in this module.
In the first two, you'll revise and extend the basic mathematical knowledge and skills in basic algebra and graphs that should mainly be familiar to you. This revision material should help you identify and fill any gaps in your previous knowledge, and develop your basic mathematical skills to the level that you'll need in the rest of the module. Much of the material in these two units will be available online, so you can make a start on your revision even before the module begins, if you wish. The first two units also teach you about communicating mathematics, and introduce you to the mathematical software that you'll use in the module.
In the remaining study units you'll cover these topics:
You'll work mainly from the module books, which are available in various electronic formats as well as in print. You can view many of the worked examples in the books in an alternative video format, in which tutors work through and discuss the examples. You'll also use specially-designed software applications to help you understand the concepts taught, and you'll learn to use a mathematics computer package to solve problems. There are many online interactive practice questions to help you consolidate your learning.
The module includes a large amount of online study material, and requires you to use mathematical software frequently, so you'll need regular access to a suitable personal computer.
Samples of the study material, including example assessment questions, are available on our MathsChoices website.
Successful study of this module should begin to develop your skills in:
Essential mathematics 1 is designed to be taken either as your first university-level mathematics module or following on from Discovering mathematics (MU123).
Essential mathematics 2 (MST125) is designed to follow on from Essential mathematics 1. Normally, you should have completed this module first. However, if you have plenty of study time and a high level of confidence and fluency with algebraic manipulation you could study both modules in one year.
Alternatively, if you are considering progressing to Mathematical methods (MST224), normally you should have also completed this module.
This module may help you to gain membership of the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications (IMA). For further information, see the IMA website.
You will have a tutor who will help you with the study material and mark and comment on your written work, and whom you can ask for advice and guidance. If you are new to the OU, you will find that your tutor is particularly concerned to help you with your study methods. We may also be able to offer group tutorials (online or face-to-face), that you are encouraged, but not obliged, to attend. The locations of face-to-face tutorials will depend on the distribution of students taking the module.
Contact us if you want to know more about study with The Open University before you register.
The assessment details for this module can be found in the facts box above.
You can choose whether to submit your tutor-marked assignments (TMAs) on paper or online through the eTMA system. You may want to use the eTMA system for some of your assignments but submit on paper for others. This is entirely your choice.
Essential mathematics 1 (MST124) starts twice a year – in February and October. This page describes the module that will start in October 2018 and February 2019. We expect it to start for the last time in October 2021.
See the satisfaction survey results for this course.
This is a key introductory OU level 1 module. OU level 1 modules provide core subject knowledge and study skills needed for both higher education and distance learning, to help you progress to modules at level 2.
Although many of these topics are revised, consolidated and extended in the module, we recommend that you have a working knowledge of:
A mathematical A-level, or a high grade in GCSE mathematics (or the equivalent), would normally provide this. If you are not familiar with the majority of the topics listed above, we recommend that you study our OU level 1 module Discovering mathematics (MU123) before this module.
Before registering for the module, we recommend you attempt this self-assessment quiz to help assess your prior knowledge and to help you decide if Essential mathematics 1 is the right module for you.
If you have any doubt about the level of study, or about choosing the most suitable mathematics module with which to start, please speak to an adviser or look at our MathsChoices website.
The first two units of the module help you to revise, consolidate and extend the basic mathematical knowledge and skills that are required in the rest of the module. Much of the material in these first two units will be available online before the module begins, and it would be a good idea to start working through it as soon as you can, to make sure that you're as well prepared as possible for the main work in the module. Working through this material will also help you confirm whether this is a suitable module for you: if you find that most of it is unfamiliar to you, we recommend that you consider taking Discovering mathematics (MU123) first.
If you wish to do some extra preparation before starting on the study material, then we suggest that you work through a GCSE Mathematics Higher Level, or equivalent, text book, which may be available online or in a local library. You could also use a book or website to familiarise yourself with the first core module (C1 – the first pure maths module) of AS-Level Mathematics, or equivalent. This will contain some topics which you are not expected to have studied before you start this module but, if you can do some work on those as well, it may help you to get a head start with your studies. The MathsChoices website contains further suggestions for help on topics you may need to practice, for example algebra and trigonometry.
Registration opens on 21/03/18

My ex never wore his to work, and really only wore it when we went out together.
How about your hubby. Does he wear one?

No. His got all bent up due to work. I keep it in with my jewelry.
by Platinum Member on Sep. 27, 2013 at 2:55 PM
He does now. He used to work a job that jewelry of any kind wasn't allowed for safety purposes. Now he's the boss and doesn't work with the equipment very often.
No. He hasn't worn it in years. His original band was uncomfortable, his new band got way too big. He gave up. LOL.
I am thinking about getting him a new wedding ring for our Annviersary.
Yes we both do and never take the off.. well I do if when im cooking and dont want gunk getting all over it.
by Bronze Member on Sep. 27, 2013 at 2:58 PM
He wears his all the time except when it doesn't make sense. I rarely wear mine. Only when we are going out together to an event or something.
He wears his most of the time. He takes it off occasionly.
Neither of us do. Our jobs are hazzardous with stuff like that. But when we go out we wear them. No big deal.

Yup. He loves his ring, black titanium.

Richard Dawkins has commented since this debate that he was disappointed in his performance, blaming partly his jet lag, but also "… the astonishing bias of the audience and, second, the interfering chairman."
During the debate, Dawkins repeatedly asked some members of the audience with credulity: why is that funny? He really ought to have been able to answer his own question without thinking about it too much.
