i put my batteries on storage mode.it discharged lipos to 3.91 and 3.92 per cell(didnt finish my fun ,so had to discharge a bit).64% of capacity it says on my battery checker.is it still ok or a little too high?help pls
3.9V is fine, it's really not that critical to hit the exact 3.85V that is commonly used as storage voltage.
Here's a question: Is it Ok to run a lipo battery after charging to "storage" voltage? In other words, let's say I charged my lipo in storage mode a few days ago. Today I want to run it but don't want to wait to charge it fully. Is it OK to run the battery at 3.8 volts or is it going to take valuable cycles off my battery if I don't charge it up to a full 4.2 volts per cell before using it?
RC to have fun!
its fine. it just wont run that long
Thanks Panamon. So this brings up the next question: Since my initial motivation for using the battery in the stored state was lazyness and instant gratification, what constitutes a "short balance charge"?
My charger is a Hitec X4ACplus which is fully automatic in all modes of charging and generally take about 3 hours to balance charge (after the last storage charge) at 1C rate (5 amps on a 5000 mAh). So... how would I do a "short" balance charge. Would I simply stop it in the middle of a balance charge at some point? If so, when?
RC to have fun!
With a short balance charge I mean to have all cells balanced out to the same voltage since they may go out of balance during storage ( usually not a problem with new good quality LiPo with well matched cells). Hmmm 3 hours for a full balance charge is long. Your charger has 50 watts per channel so it would charge at around 4 amps max with a 3S LiPo but if cell voltages are out of balance it would reduce the charge current to equalize the cells (0.8 amps or so). Long balance charging times could indicate a cell mismatch problem.
you say storage between 3.8-3.85.i charged mine to between 3.806 and 3.809.one is 2S the 0ther 3S.both are 5600mah 60C my battery checker hyperion eos sentry.it also shows precentage.it shows 34%.yet my battery mfg says to keep it at 50-60%.that would be a lot more than 3.80 i guess around 3.90? im guessing.these are spc batteries.am i hurting them by keeping it at 3.806?
No you can even keep them above 3.9
I personally store at 3.7 to 3.9
All ok
also why is there a difference in reading battery voltage on my hyperion super duo charger and my hyperion eos sentry battery checker?during charging i can see individual cell voltage lets say it shows 3.85.when i connect it to my battery checker it shows 3.78 .which one should i trust???i tend to trust battery checker ,because when i got my batteries it showed 3.82 to 3.85 on each cell.any help would be appreciated....
Is the charger reading while charging? If so, it should read higher.
Alt-248 on the number pad = °
I think it should read lower. During charging it shows each individual cell and what voltage it currently has. Let's say it shows 3.85 at which point I stop charging. When i connect it to my eos battery checker it shows 3.78
What's your charge rate set at? With high charge rates you'll get a larger reduction in cell voltage after it stopped then if low charge rates are used.
I charge at 2C
Since starting this hobby about 8 months ago (I know... complete nube!) I've tracked my NiMH and my lipos for each and every charge since new. The NiMH batteries always show a lower tester voltage, on avg 0.6 volt lower than the charger displays at the end of the charge cycle. With lipos on the other hand, readings between charger and tester always show within 0.05 volts of each other and sometimes the tester voltage is higher.
My guess as to why would be that I use the Balance Mode of charging so each lipo cell is truly fully charged.
I also find it interesting that while being stored a NiMH will drop in voltage very quickly compared to a Lipo which if checked several days after storage charging will be within a couple 1/100ths of a volt to what it was when it came off the charger. Ahh.... the miracle of Lipo technology!
RC to have fun!
Just for grins & giggles I charged one of my 2S 5000/40Cs on storage mode at 0.1 amps. It took 20 hrs, 45 minutes to finish! Both cells measured within 0.1 volt of each other at start. When done the charger read 7.60, my meter read 3.81/3.81 & 7.62. I'd say they're balanced!
RC to have fun!
One more question about nimh batteries my truck came with.do they need to be charged little bit when i don't use them? So far i just charge them and run my truck till it stops,then i just put them away and charge again when i want to play next time.is that the way to do it?thx
I've been doing this with mine for months now and it doesn't seem to hurt them, in the sense that they give me the same run time now as they did when they were new.
You mentioned you run your NiMHs till the truck stops. I've heard this is not good for the NiMHs. I run mine till I see a noticeable decrease in "punch" or acceleration response then charge them (after they cool of course!)
RC to have fun!
NIMH are far less sensitive to charge levels while stored than LiPo batteries are but I'd keep them charged when putting them away. They should be cycled every couple of weeks in case they are stored for extended periods of time otherwise they'll get an internal crystal build up that significantly increases the self discharge rate (often misinterpreted as "Memory effect" which has been eliminated in modern day NiMH and NiCd batteries) and a low discharge conditioning is required for the crystals to dissolve.
NiMH are sensitive to high temperatures and running them down until your car doesn't move anymore may heat the battery significantly up thus is not recommended.
how do you check nimh batteries for voltage levels if it only has traxxas connector to charge them?
ok thx.hyperion eos sentry battery checker says it can check nimh batteries.how?anybody knows?
Hi all. I am new so please keep me right. So when I purchase my traxxas rustler xl -5 I put the battery on charge. Right? Once it's charged do I plug it into car and run it or let it cool off for 30min 1 hour? And if I decide time to stop playing what do I do? 1 let it cool and then trickle charge or 2 let it cool and storage charge. And then if I want to play aging do I charge it again or can I plug it in and run? Sorry but it's all new to me and needing help
Charge it and run it. Once done for the week, then let it cool and storage charge. When you are ready to play again, charge it and play.
Just what would come with the RTR rustler xl -5
That would be a NiMH battery
Please post your question in the Traxxas NiMH forum since this thread and forum is specifically for Traxxas LiPo batteries.
I have traxxas ID charger, does it mean it automatic set to certain voltage when I set to Storage mode?

Celebrity is so cheap and tawdry these days that it is difficult to appreciate the adulation accorded Charles Lindbergh in 1927.
Upon returning to the United States from his daring solo flight to Paris, Lindbergh enjoyed the largest ticker-tape parade in American history, and embarked on an 80-city, 48-state tour. It was estimated that one in four Americans saw him in person.
"I don't think we've ever had any parallels — maybe the Beatles in 1964 — but we're talking about a national hero," said Brian Horrigan, a Minnesota Historical Society curator who is writing a book on Lindbergh and American cultural history. "I can't overstate it. Everyone wanted a piece of this guy."
When Lindbergh's 2-year-old son was kidnapped and murdered in 1932, coverage of the event reached to every corner of the nation and much of the world. Radio came of age as a news source. Newspaperman H.L Mencken called the crime "the biggest story since the Resurrection."
The tragedy, the circus and the subsequent trial that convicted Bruno Richard Hauptmann in 1936 are the subject of "Baby Case," a musical by composer Michael Ogborn that opens Saturday at the History Theatre in St. Paul. The subject matter sounds fairly dark — maybe something Kander and Ebb might have tackled — but director Ron Peluso is not deterred.
"We've had a lot of patrons say, 'Really? A musical about a kidnapping?' " Peluso said. "But you look at the subjects of 'Chicago,' 'Rent,' 'Les Miz' — those are serious pieces. Michael's take is stirring and compelling and fascinating."
A dazzling icon
Lindbergh's transatlantic flight and the kidnapping took place while he was still universally idolized. His pronouncements on "the white race," the discovery of children and lovers he kept secret in Europe and his admiration for Nazi Germany would later tarnish a once-gleaming hero.
Plus, books and media in the past 30 years have challenged Hauptmann's guilt and suggested conspiracies that implicate Lindbergh and his relatives of complicity in the crime.
For these reasons, the farmboy from Little Falls, Minn., who imagined he might become a mechanic working on planes, has not weathered history well.
"Baby Case" deals not with Lindbergh's legacy. It is focused on the four-year ordeal that fixed America's attention on its fair-haired hero and the ghastly crime.
Charles A. Lindbergh Jr. was taken from his crib on the night of March 1, 1932. Within hours, police and media had descended on the New Jersey home. The famed aviator took personal control of the investigation.
"His ego was enormous," said Horrigan. "He would have said, 'I'm Charles Lindbergh, and I'll tell you what to do.' "
His involvement and susceptibility to scams that were perpetrated did not serve him well. At one point, he delivered a huge ransom to a sketchy character who promised the child was alive. Lindbergh had to admit later that he had been fooled. On May 12, the 20-month-old child was found dead.
Hauptmann was not arrested until 1934, and the media caught its second breath in sensationalizing the case.
"The coverage was so out of proportion to anything that had gone before," said Horrigan. "Radio coverage and the idea of breaking news is a phenomenon that is tied directly to the kidnapping and trial."
Hauptmann, a German immigrant living in Brooklyn, was convicted largely because ransom money was found in his garage and boards from his attic matched those used to build a crude ladder allegedly used in the kidnapping. He professed his innocence even to his demise in the electric chair.
Horrigan believes Hauptmann was probably guilty, but he did not receive a fair trial and did not act alone.
Playing the media circus
Peluso heard of "Baby Case" in 2003 and inquired about the rights. He lost interest when he heard there were 24 actors in the play. A trimmed version was presented at the New York Musical Theatre Festival in 2012 and received mostly positive reviews. Ogborn's music and lyrics and director Jeremy Dobrish won festival awards and the production was named "Best of the Fest."
The play is as much about the media and the criminal case as it is about Lindbergh. "It is wickedly satirical about how the media treat crime," Peluso said. "William Randolph Hearst put up the money for the defense and he owned 28 papers at the time."
Peluso's cast includes Peter Middlecamp, who plays both Lindbergh and Hauptmann. Kendall Anne Thompson plays Anne Morrow Lindbergh and Anna Hauptmann. Jon Hegge is the famous radio broadcaster Walter Winchell, who is presented as the ringmaster for the circus.
Minnesota innocence lost
The Lindberghs withdrew to Europe after the kidnapping to escape the public hysteria, and returned to the United States in 1939. Despite the retreat, Horrigan said, Lindbergh was able to surmount the tragedy almost immediately.
"He and Anne went on one of the world tours, and he got on with his life," Horrigan said. "From 1930 on, he wrote about his life and his thoughts and there is almost no scrap of writing that is about the kidnapping."
If Lindbergh was deeply affected, Horrigan said, it was in his attitudes about the media.
"He went to his grave blaming the media for the death of his son," Horrigan said.
Lindbergh was a complex individual — although many of the contradictions and unsavory proclamations stemmed from his inability to fully understand early in his life the implications of being a media star.
Horrigan, who curated the exhibit at the Lindbergh historic site in Little Falls, said Charles wanted to be a mechanic, something that was not possible once he achieved a fame he could not possibly have foreseen.
The Little Falls center, which includes Lindbergh's childhood home, has an elegiac quality when a visitor considers the life that awaited a lanky kid who woke up every morning with the Mississippi River in his back yard, and who was more comfortable with machines than he was with people. Lindbergh made one of his last public appearances at the dedication in 1971.
"Reeve [Lindbergh's daughter] has said it is that home on the river that helps her to understand her father better than any other place," said Horrigan. "That was the only time in his life that he had that innocence."

My efforts to liveblog my reading of Dead Aid have run aground on the reality of my life – I have a full-time job and a couple of things from my academic life that require my attention. That, and I admit to such frustration with the book that I start to question the purpose of my efforts – I saw this exercise as an effort to provide a detailed, reasonable critique of the book as I was reading it, and to offer redress as best as I could. However, as I have gone deeper and deeper into the book, I have come to realize that a serious effort to address and correct the numerous issues in this book was likely to consume another short book's worth of space. I have another book or two worth of writing in me, but not on this topic. So, I will finish with this post, which covers the remaining chapters of the book in a more abbreviated fashion . . .
Chapter 6
p.80: Yes, emerging markets seem to offer higher returns on investment – and they are often countercyclical to economies of developed countries. But this does not automatically make them useful hedge tools. Moyo seems to ignore the fact that most emerging economies have a limited capacity to address shocks, which means that a minor event for a diversified economy can lead to horrendous outcomes in a smaller, less diversified economy. For example, concerns over how the Europeans were going to define chocolate, which might have changed global demand for cocoa, wracked Ghana's economy in 1999-2000 because cocoa was such a huge part of that economy. This makes bond offerings inherently risky, even for well-governed developing countries like Ghana – even a well-governed country can't do much about global market fluctuations in their primary commodity. So these markets are quite a bit dicier as hedge instruments than Moyo seems to want to admit. There's a reason money isn't pouring into these places . . .
p.81: Moyo's discussion of credit ratings for countries is amusing . . . in that she has chosen not to discuss how much of a disaster the rating agencies turned out to be in the US market for real estate products. Credit rating agencies are not arbiters of truth.
p.82: Good, she notes that these economies are indeed quite fragile and subject to unique stresses. However, she does not offer any real way to address these challenges – the idea that we are "over" the sorts of panics that lead to contagion (when problems in one place lead investors to question their holdings in other places), and therefore any big shock to an economy won't trigger wider problems within that economy or surrounding economies, is empirically problematic.
p.87: Moyo addresses the issue of default, but it's a whitewash that makes it sound like bond markets won't really mind. Even if this were true, she fails to grasp that many causes of default will not be addressed by reform issues in markets – as long as developing countries are natural-resource dependent and not particularly diversified, they will be at risk from default . . . and defaults will keep them from diversifying away from natural resource dependence. This is one of the many reasons why aid is important!
Chapter 7
This chapter strikes me as completely divorced from reality. Her treatment of concerns over the surge in Chinese interest in Africa casts them solely as short sighted concerns with China's lack of conditionality on its loans – that is, people who object to Chinese engagement in Africa do so because China does not demand certain kinds of political or market changes along with its loans (some term these reforms, but the history of structural adjustment makes that term somewhat farcical). She dismisses the idea that many Africans are mistrustful of the Chinese, casting these concerns as a continuation of longstanding paternalistic attitudes toward Africa. She shores up this very thin argument by citing poll data to argue that the residents of many countries view the Chinese in a positive light. First, I would love to know the source of these data – she does not point to a source in the text. The reason I am interested is because I work in two countries where the view of the Chinese is not at all positive – Ghana and Malawi. I'm curious why the mistrust and concern I see in those countries is not manifest elsewhere. Second, assuming these poll numbers are valid, just because people have a positive view of China (or, at least a relatively more positive view of China than the US) does not mean that they are benefiting from Chinese involvement in their economy. This still has to be demonstrated. Moyo makes no effort to address this issue in her argument.
Finally, how can she talk about Chinese involvement and not address the issue of agriculture? This is where the real land-grabbing is going on. It is absolutely clear that the Chinese are investing in countries with arable land, and helping to build infrastructure to access that land. They are setting Africa up as China's farm of the future – and that is not going to diversify African economies. It will simply perpetuate the challenges that Africa is already trying to address, and that Moyo seems to believe Chinese investment will solve.
Chapter 8
I must say that this was one of the better chapters in the book – well, the first half. Pages 114-119 are a good, concise review of trade barriers that hinder African development. Then Moyo lapses into pro-Chinese argumentation that suffers from the same problems I saw in Chapter 7 – a sort of "the-Chinese-will-save-us" attitude. Interestingly, while she recognizes the serious challenges that Africa's limited infrastructure poses for industrial development and economic diversification, she completely ignores the role that aid might play in building out such infrastructure. Instead, she seems to think that African countries should take out much higher interest loans in the private markets (because this would improve the country's reputation on global markets, which would enable future loans . . . but does nothing to really explain why anyone should take a higher-interest loan and turn down aid in the first place), or trust external investors to work with them to build the infrastructure they need . . . which is something of a return to colonialism – after all, mother countries did build infrastructure in their colonies – just the infrastructure needed to ensure the continued export of valuable resources. Incidentally, anyone paying attention to Chinese investment in Africa can see exactly this sort of behavior taking hold . . . but Moyo is either willfully blind to it, or does not know her history very well. This is another example of a recurrent problem with this book: in the end, it is a political argument that selectively mobilizes its data to support those politics while ignoring anything that might contradict the argument. The real challenges of African development are much more complex than she presents, and the likely solutions are going to require more than just capital investments.
Chapter 9
The first part of the chapter focuses on microfinance. It lays out the basic concept, and goes through the usual Grameen example. It also lays out an interesting Zambian adaptation of the idea. However, she dismisses a growing body of work that criticizes microfinance in a really shallow paragraph on 129-130, arguing that excessive interest rates will be reduced by competition (but doesn't discuss where competition will come from, or if there is even room for competition in many microfinance-sheds – margins are pretty tiny in microfinance, even at high interest rates) and that borrowers forced into Ponzi situations (using one loan to pay off another, instead of productively investing it) will eventually go away as better information about their repayment rates becomes available (without discussing where that information will come from, or what to do about the honest farmer caught by an environmental or economic shock). It is distressing that she completely ignores the very large literature on microfinance's failures in sub-Saharan Africa.
The discussion of remittances is interesting, but ends with a really weak recognition that they are really aid in another form – and they are justified because they reach the poor don't increase corruption (but again, no substantiation of this).
Yes, Africa needs more savings – but this is a long-term problem in development that many have wrestled with. Acting as if this is revelatory, and failing to address the efforts to enable and spur savings that have and have not worked, does little to further the discussion. In this discussion, and that on the Grameen Bank, I find myself wondering (as I have many times in this book) whether the problem is that she really doesn't know about these critical literatures, or she is strategically ignoring them to make her work seem more new and important. Either answer speaks to deep intellectual irresponsibility.
Chapter 10
p.140: I find it interesting that Moyo thinks private loans would not be stolen, because any corruption would lock down future loans. This may be true (though I have my doubts), but if it is a large enough loan, and enables a single act of massive theft, a corrupt leader might make a calculated decision to steal a lot out of that loan even if it leaves their country in the lurch. Private markets might not encourage repeated theft, but if they cannot prevent the first act of theft (which guarantees an unrepayable loan) and then, after that theft, cut off all outside sources of revenue for the country, the net impact on that country's economy is more or less the same – unrepayable debt and no new sources of income to build productive projects to generate revenue and pay that debt. I just don't buy the "private markets solve governance issues" argument at all.
p.147: Here it becomes clear that labeling Moyo the "anti-Sachs" is a joke. All along, she's suffered from the single greatest failing of Sachs – staggering intellectual hubris. On this page, she says something that echoes the words of Sachs: "Development is not a mystery; each of the elements of the Dead Aid proposal has been tried and tested and yielded success – and governments and policymakers know it." This is the same argument, more or less, that Sachs made in The End of Poverty and subsequent work: we know how to do development, we just choose not to. This is an awful ad hominem attack on a lot of good, smart people trying to further development around the world. The fact is that there are not tried and tested methods of bringing development about – if there were, WE WOULD USE THEM! But neither Sachs nor Moyo really understand development as a discipline – its history and theories – and so they are free to make staggeringly arrogant statements. Of course, the failure of the MVP is giving Sachs his comeuppance . . . who knows what will bring Moyo around.
p.149: Wait, did she just suggest that the average African wants to overthrow aid regimes, but are held back by the force of the state? Are you joking? Anyone who has spent time studying recent African history (or the old discipline of peasant studies) knows that starving the population is never sufficient to generate revolt, so the persistence of deep poverty is not evidence for the coercive force of the state.
p.151: Good lord, she's othering her own continent – really, she's referring to the "four horses of Africa's apocalypse – corruption, disease, poverty and war." I feel like I am reading a travel narrative from the late 19th Century, or most anything written by Robert Kaplan. Why not just start quoting Heart of Darkness and get it over with?
And, in summary, her plan seems to be: turn off aid over a five year period, and the problems will work themselves out. It's really that easy!
Oh wait, it's not.
Well, that's that. Having spilled many thousands of words on this book, and having tried to read it with an eye toward constructively reworking it, I find very little recoverable here. It is, in the end, a short, semi-coherent work of staggering intellectual hubris that sees little need to take seriously the history of development efforts, the talents of those working in development, the wide range of evidence for and against her proposals, or indeed any of the complexity of the real world. This, in sum, is what happens when an investment banker decides to tell development and aid experts how to do their jobs.
I now have much greater sympathy for those in the markets who get angry and frustrated with development/aid worker misreadings of speculation in food markets to argue that all speculation is bad and should be banned – here we have development and aid specialists presuming to lecture the markets on their behavior. If nothing else, we should take a lesson from this book and make sure that when we do engage with market actors, we are informed enough to make intelligent arguments that contribute to the conversation. Dead Aid, in the end, is not a contribution to conversations about development for those of us who actually do the work – it is a non-sequitur that does not deserve the attention it has received, or any further attention.

In a recent post I mentioned that I was buying reverse convertibles to capture yield. Of course the question of risk arose—What happens if the price of the stock falls below its buffer?
Unfortunately, it happened. In fact, it landed about 10% below the buffer price. One positive here is that the term of this particular issue has another four and a half months until maturity.
I am hopeful the price of the stock will finish above the starting price, in which case, the client will receive the full principle back at maturity. However, even if the stock's price does not finish above its strike price, as long as it's close, and since the client will receive shares of stock in lieu of principle, if the loss is small enough, it may be offset to some degree, or fully, due to the 18.65% rate of interest this particular issue is paying.
That said, for future investments in this type of vehicle, I came up with a a way to protect the client against this risk. If you are buying or considering investing in reverse convertibles, you'll want to tune in. If you are not familiar with how these investments work, you should read my post from Feb. 11 on the subject.
Here's how the protection works. At the time of issue, let's assume you invest $10,000 in a reverse convertible and the underlying stock has a price per share of $20. Hence, at the time of issue your $10,000 investment would be equivalent to 500 shares of the stock. To protect your investment, you would buy a put option. In essence you would buy five option contracts since each contract is equal to 100 shares. If the stock price declined and your option was "in the money," and especially if it fell as far as the buffer price, you would exercise the option, and the client would be made whole. Conversely, if the stock price rose, the reverse convertible would not need protection. Hence, if the stock price remained above the buffer price during the term, then at maturity, the client would receive their initial investment.
Of course, there is always the possibility that the stock price could fall, but not breach the buffer, and the put option could be in the money. Then, the client could exercise the option and suffer no loss. Again, if the put option was never exercised, the client would be out his premium, but the cost of the premium would be offset by the interest on the investment.
For this to be viable, the cost of the option premium would need to be much less than the interest earned on the investment. In fact, if it were possible for the issuing bank to incorporate this into their reverse convertible offerings, I expect they could corner the market, as it would be a riskless, high interest investment vehicle.
Have a great week and thanks for reading!

You've probably run aground of Facebook's new Timeline format somewhere. Maybe you already opted in. If you haven't, click around to a few of your friends and you're bound to see someone's timeline (unless, that is — gasp! — you're not one of Facebook's 800 million or so users). If you like it, well good! You're about to use it. If not, well, uh… Well…
If you're already using Timeline, you can skip this paragraph. For the rest of you, it's going to become Facebook's default. Up front, it will make the back-catalog of your time on Facebook immediately available, organizing your activity by years and months. For the present, it'll suddenly look like you have two Facebook feeds presented willy-nilly, but there's a little line running up the center of the page — your timeline, if you will — but this is more or less a cosmetic change.
So, full disclosure, I haven't opted into Timeline yet, nor have I been asked to by Facebook. Not because I don't like it or anything, it just hasn't really grabbed me. If you want to get in early, you can head over to Facebook's timeline page and start customizing yours now. Or you can just wait until Facebook forces it on you in the coming weeks. Or you can just quit Facebook entirely. Whatever; the power is yours!
Bonus: If you're hoping to dodge some of the early hassles Timeline will present, CNET's Sharon Vaknin put together a nice little primer here.

In the 17 minutes it takes for Wise Blood's These Wings EP to tornado into and out of the atmosphere, it's possible to piece together Chris Laufman's premonition of what the future may hold. And it aint a pretty picture.
Beneath the Pittsburgh's songsmith's synthesized, ear-grating, scuzz-soul melodies is a deep-seated sense of absolute hopelessness, his own pre-emptive sketch of an inhospitable world that holds no sense or reason. Lyrically, it's perhaps not quite as obvious as it sounds - Laufman instinctively prefers to get down to more basal matters, honing in on his inability to hold down steady relationships.
Yet step aside from the emo-heavy subject matter of tracks like 'Darlin' You're Sweet', a trumpet-parping shuffler that finds Laufman sweetly cooing "I need someone who won't fade when I go insane and I can't stand, I know that you can", and you'll find a dark, clever off-piste pop collection fused with bleeps, beats and despair. He may be 21, but these songs have been penned with the air of kid who's seen and heard way too much tragedy in his years.
From the off, huge skyscraping beats punctuate the record's skyline, turning 'Penthouse Suite's ambient keyboard groove into a wonky android-ballad that recalls the burned-out sonic junkyard of Sublte. Less abrasive, but no less affecting, 'The Lion' is two minutes of parping brass cobbled over a gyrating rhythm that has Laufman spitting "Baby I ain't no man, I've got to confess, I'd probably kill you just to try on your dress" with all the funk of Prince, only without the high-heels and inflated sex drive.
For all its virtues, what These Wings fails to do is map out just where Laufman goes next. Instead, what it serves up is a taster of its maker's class, crossing borders with more ease than a passport-less traveller going through UK immigration. But with cuts as essential as 'Loud Mouths' - a piano-looping, hip-hop-spitting, beatbox-blasting, body-popping contender for song of the year - it matters not; Laufman proves he's blessed with enough duality and brilliance to appeal to even the most toughened ear canals.
As premonitions go, Chris Laufman can rest assured: the future is very much Wise Blood's.

$1.4M in cash, guns found in home near High Rock Lake
Search warrant executed during drug investigation
Multiple weapons, body armor and more than $1 million in cash were found inside a home after a search warrant was executed during a drug investigation.
The discovery was made at a home in eastern Rowan County in the area of High Rock Lake, Rowan County deputies said. No arrests were made due to the nature of the ongoing investigation, deputies said.
Along with $1.44 million, investigators also found four guns, two sets of body armor, ammunition and two vehicles. The money was believed to be the proceeds of "large-scale" narcotics trafficking, deputies said.
The search warrant was executed based on probable cause that the home had a large amount of cash, weapons and drugs, deputies said.
The money was taken to a Charlotte bank and will be forfeited to the government.

Five years ago I alluded to this, but I've just seen concise discussion of it from no less than the Father of the Church St. John Chrysostom, and from certain Old Testament prophecies 'in its Light.'
It also makes me think of how some non-Orthodox "got saved" by God…. The Apolytikion (a hymn) given on this page brings home the point. The Magi are commemorated as Saints on Dec. 25. (Recall that Orthodoxy commemorates the Magi's Adoration of the Incarnate YHWH not on Jan. 6 but at Christmas; our Great Feast of Theophany [Epiphany] focuses on His Baptism in the Jordan by St. John the Forerunner [Baptist].) OrthodoxWiki mentions the memory of their eventual baptism by St. Thomas the Apostle to the Indo-Iranians, and service to The Church as Bishops.
What about the mentions of an angel? Readers of this blog may recall our discussions of the uncreated Logos-Angel from many Old Testament theophanies … highlighted in the writings of Greek-American theologian Fr. John S. Romanides (†2001) … so this need not be a problem, especially because Orthodoxy reminds us that the Divine Hypostatic Logos is not circumscribed by His Incarnation, ie, not 'completely contained' in or limited by His Human Body. Could He appear as Infant and "Angel" at the same time? Unusual perhaps, but I don't see why not, although I must confess I haven't seen this explicitly discussed anywhere yet.
One Web source I read said Western European pagans, even before Christianization, appreciated this, as it were their 'cameo' appearance at the very beginning of Christianity's New Testament. Similarly, I can say that even as a blond Western Catholic child here in the States, I was fascinated by and appreciated my family's small wood-and-hay(?) Nativity set featuring non-Mediterranean-looking "kings": a blond, an African, and an East Asian!* I also read that extracanonical accounts 'internationalizing' them are quite old indeed. Well, they do "represent the Gentiles," and foreshadow many more of our ancestors' conversions to the Faith…. For some reason I thought of the "White" one as some aged King of England — I didn't know then that that title and State didn't exist during Christ's life on Earth!
I couldn't leave this off without a plug for Bethlehem, Pennsylvania's "Christmas Star" (or another picture of it). One night during college, around 1985-86, I was driving around town lost (though sober)** and someone told me I almost knocked it down or something! It sits atop Wyandotte Hill/South Mountain, one of Penna.'s many long, skinny, relatively-low,*** ridge-like mountains, that divides the Lehigh Valley from the main Philadelphia area, as well as from my undergraduate school campus just south of Bethlehem.
And, twelve "kings"? Catholic priest / sociologist / novelist Andrew Greeley's Russian (Orthodox) lay student / artist / mystic / beauty / love interest in his 1997 Christmas / spiritual classic Star Bright! (available here) alludes to a 12-magi tradition, without many details except to say something I haven't encountered personally in Orthodoxy yet, that "We Russians know there were 12 kings" (or words to that effect). But an English translation of the apocryphal Syriac Revelation of the Magi has recently come out, and it names twelve. Furthermore, if one Amazon reviewer reports correctly, if you have any Western European ancestry, you may have one or more Magi in your family tree. How's that for Gentile foreshadowing?! Other reviews lead me to doctrinal caution about the Revelation [Apocalypse??] of the Magi, but also hint (seemingly unknowingly) at o/Orthodox Uncreated Energies Theology perhaps. But some of the kings named by the Armenian reviewer have names or associations I might have encountered a long time ago while tracing my Norman Irish ancestors (Hibernicized McCoogs) into traditional medieval West European royal and noble genealogies … the kind today's experts say are dubious, but were part of our cultures for most of the last thousand years if not longer … and geneticists now say we might all share in some way. (Something like some Assyrian kings back there too, being Semites, traditionally then Kin of God!) (This is another review I saw of it, from a Catholic perspective.)
PS: Many Years to Fr. Greeley! Glad to see he's doing better some! Thank God!
(*–The one with the wind-up music box playing "Silent Night.")
(**–If you can read and comprehend this without getting a headache, you're a better driver than I was!)

Discussing the current economy condition within the United States and the world, my husband and I talked about how blogging and social media can help so many impacted by today's financial crunch. Imagine my delight while reading the September 16, 2008, issue of Women's Day Magazine in a waiting room about the number four tip for their "Solutions Your Money" column: Start a blog:
There are millions of them on the Internet and they come in all shapes an sizes. You can write about nearly anything – from what it's like to be a mom to politics. It's free to set one up, and once you do, you can place ads, using an easy program like Google Adsense. Each time a visitor to your blog clicks on an ad, you earn money. And once you've earned #100 you'll get a check in the mail for the money you've earned.
…You probably won't replace your paycheck by blogging, at least not at first, but it's a good way to make extra money.
The example they give is of a second-grade teacher who blogs about coupon savings tips and plans and makes $80 to $100 a month. While few do even that well, it is an additional way to bring in a few bucks to your life when the financial crunch is on, if you play nice and right.
So the number one way blogs can help you survive the current economy is to help bring in a little extra spending cash.
That's not all a blog can do for you during this economic downtime. Have you thought about all the benefits a blog can bring while the economy dances in the wind? [Read more…]

Health is worth more than learning.
Your Key to Great ResultsBy Steve Edwards
One of the most important topics when it comes to exercise is how to recover from it. No matter how hard you train, you're only going to see great results if you do the things that enable your body to recover from the exercise you do. Let's take a look at how to make the best use of your time when you aren't bringin' it.
Recovering well is dependent on two variables: physiology and nutrition. In order to keep this as simple as possible, let's break your day down into time slots related to your workout. You'll see that by following a few simple rules you can greatly enhance your body's ability to recover quickly and get the most out of your exercise program.
Nutritional considerations
Your body uses different types of foods for different actions. For this reason, having an eating plan that supports your exercise program is the most important variable of your day.
Before we get started, let's first look at the very basics of your diet. It consists of mainly three things: proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. Proteins and fats, in the simplest sense, make up our body tissue. Carbohydrates, which break down into sugars, are used to fuel our body. Since carbs aren't stored, we need to burn them off, meaning that how many of them we eat should be directly proportional to how much exercise we are doing.
Post-exercise. When it comes to eating for exercise, the most important time slot is immediately after your workout. Your body will only store up enough glycogen (blood sugar from carbohydrates) to get you through about an hour or so of hard exercise. At the end of a workout, our glycogen stores tend to be extinguished and need to be replenished. The quicker we can replenish these, the faster we will recover.
This aside is to warn you that this is the toughest part to understand for most people.
Since protein makes up muscle tissue and muscle tissue is what's broken down during exercise, it makes sense to think we need to consume protein after a workout. But this isn't how the process works. Protein is absorbed by the body very slowly, whereas sugar is utilized very rapidly. The longer it takes to get nutrients after a workout the slower our bodies are able to recover.
Because of this, sugar immediately after exercise is the body's preferred fuel source. In general, we don't need any sugar at all and are much better off eating complex carbohydrates that include fiber and make our body break them down into sugar. However, post-exercise, the quicker we can replenish our lost blood sugar the faster our body will begin to recover. So a small amount of sugar after exercise is essential for efficient recovery. We've known this for a long time, which is why most "sports" drinks tend to be sugary. So essentially what would be a bad nutritional strategy most of the time is a good strategy after exercise.
During the 1990s science unlocked another key when studies showed that sugar with a small amount of protein—a 4:1 ratio being optimal—could enhance recovery around 25 percent over sugar alone, and up to 400 percent better than protein alone, when consumed within an hour after a workout. Again, fat and fiber are left out of this equation. While very important components of our diet, both fat and fiber interfere with rapid digestion, which is our goal after finishing a workout. This is the reason that our P90X® Peak Recovery Formula is designed the way it is.
During exercise. With the correct fueling strategy we won't need to eat during a normal workout lasting less than an hour and a half. However, if you find yourself low on nutrients and need to eat, you'll want to follow the same rules as you would after a workout. Again, glycogen replenishment is the goal, so we want to consume easy-to-digest carbohydrates with very little fiber and fat and little protein.
It's also important to note that your body can only utilize about 250 or so calories in a given hour, so it almost never makes sense to take in more than 250–300 cals/hour of sports foods during exercise. Of course, you can burn far more than 250 calories in an hour. This is why what you eat over the rest of the day is so vital.
Pre-exercise. It's best to exercise on an empty stomach, but the realities of life can make this difficult. Try using a three-hour rule for meals, meaning that you should not work out for at least three hours after a full meal. If you need to eat within three hours of your workout, begin to follow the rules of eating during a workout and start to minimize the amount of fat and protein you eat, and certainly the amount of calories. If you need to eat an hour prior to a workout, a 4 to 1 carb/protein sports meal of less than 300 calories is best because your body will be able to utilize it during the workout. If you eat a full meal an hour prior to exercise, most of it will be undigested in your stomach during your workout and you won't be able to train nearly as effectively.
Between workouts. This is where your diet should reflect what you generally hear about nutrition. You want to eat nutrient-rich foods with plenty of fiber, good fatty acids, lots of protein, and very little, if any, sugar. As you can see from the above scenarios, you should eat a carb-heavy diet during and around the time you exercise. This means that for a balanced diet, you don't want a lot of carbs at other times. This is where your diet should consist of plenty of fruits, veggies, meats, nuts, and seeds.
Physiological considerations
This is a little simpler than the nutritional aspects because, well, it's pretty clear when you're exercising and when you're not. There are still a few tips that can help you recover, especially when we begin to look at the phases of exercise.
Post-exercise. After you've finished a workout your body is warm and your muscles are tight because they've been contracting over and over. Stretching immediately after a workout is the best time to lengthen your muscles which, in turn, will reap you huge benefits on the recovery end.
During exercise. In general, you want to exercise as hard as your body allows. If you've properly fueled your body with nutrients and liquids, it should respond well. However, if you've slacked on these factors, you may bonk (run out of blood sugar) or become dehydrated. No matter how fastidious we are, these things will happen to us at some point. Learning to recognize the signals that your body is in trouble can help you decide when it's better to push on or when it's best to back off.
Both bonking and dehydration can feel similar. The first signal is generally a lack of energy and the inability to push a given weight or exercise as well as you normally can. If you have a heart rate monitor, the inability to achieve your normal high readings is a sign. And if your workout keeps getting worse, chances are it's due to one of the above-mentioned factors. Shaking and lightheadedness are also things to be aware of. If you can't control your form, you're done. Basically, once you've determined that your body is lacking nutrients, you're always better off ending a workout early. Causing further breakdown in an unfueled state will do a lot more harm than good and could set your program back up to two weeks, or longer if you get injured.
Pre-exercise. When your body is at rest it "stiffens" up, a condition called thixotropy. You have bodily fluids that lube your joints as you exercise. Easy moving warms your body temperature and makes these fluids more viscous. A thorough warmup includes joint manipulations and ballistic stretches that get your body ready for the rigors of exercise. A thoroughly warmed-up body can endure a lot more stress during a workout, meaning that you'll get more results from the same amount of effort.
Between workouts. There are all sorts of things that help your body recover better between workouts, but none of them is as important or as effective as sleep. When you sleep, your body's recovery hormones get to work overtime and learning to sleep better or making time to sleep (or taking naps) is just about the most effective way to ensure you recover well. The power of sleeping is so vital that five-time Tour de France winner Eddy Merckx once said, "The Tour is won in bed."
Between workout phases. The most effective way to train your body is in phases. You work on something for a given amount of time and then you focus on something else. All of the Beachbody fitness programs work in phases that generally last from three to 12 weeks. The time of each phase should vary depending upon the time and intensity of the training involved. What never changes is that you should also have a rest or recovery phase as part of your plan.
We generally schedule serendipitous "recovery phases" around our social calendars. These are times when we give up trying to work out because we know we'll be too busy. Recognizing that having a recovery phase is an important part of an exercise program can help you get the most out of these periods. A recovery phase generally involves doing low-intensity exercise and avoiding intense work that causes a lot of muscle tissue breakdown. When we plan recovery phases ourselves, they often contain no exercise. While this works, it's better if we were to do some light exercise designed to enhance our body's natural ability to recover.
When we train hard we cause a chronic condition called cumulative microtrauma. For a variety of reasons it can't be avoided because it's caused by some of the natural byproducts of hard training, like lactic acid build-up and high-threshold muscle cell motor unit recruitment. Therefore, recovery cycles are designed so that you exercise in a way that doesn't let these things happen. You end up doing more easy aerobic work and stretching that oxygenates your blood and builds up capillaries, which has the effect of building your body's capacity to handle more intense training during the next round of your given program.
A good recovery program will include things like easy aerobic work, yoga, simple resistance exercises, and lots of stretching. Beachbody has a lot of examples, such as Ho' Ala ke Kino, Slim Series® Cool It Off, Power Half Hour® Power Stretch, and Yoga Booty Ballet® Master Series - Pajama Time, to name but a few.

What to Eat for Beautiful SkinBy Denis Faye
We always hear from our customers that even their skin is looking younger since they started to exercise. It's not their imagination—they have improved the health of their skin by living a healthier lifestyle.
Nowadays, there seems to be a lotion or cream to cure just about any skin ailment. While there are indeed some wonderful elixirs out there, I ask you, if you want to tend to your liver, will you put Lubriderm on it? If you want to make sure your heart will stay young and vital, will you slather on some Oil of Olay?
Of course not. But get this: the skin is an organ just like your heart and your liver. In fact, it is the largest organ on the human body. So, if you do the math, it seems obvious that you should keep it healthy the same way you keep all the rest of your organs in shape: through diet and exercise.
Of course, every organ is different. While diet and exercise are universally beneficial, they affect each organ in diverse ways. Here's a breakdown of how your outer casing benefits from a health-filled regimen.
Eating for your epidermis
All kinds of vitamins and minerals do all kinds of things for your skin. Zinc and protein speed healing and reconstruct damaged tissue, as does vitamin C, by aiding the production of collagen, the protein-building blocks vital to all your connective tissue.
Vitamin E helps with circulation, which flushes out toxins.
Both vitamins C and E deliver antioxidants, which are believed to fight against sun damage, smoke, and the dreaded hole in the ozone layer, although they are by no means a substitute for sunblock and a good hat—or for giving up smoking.
All these damaging effects create free radicals, nasty little oxidized molecules that are believed to cause tissue damage at the cellular level. Among other things, free radicals contribute to the development of cancer. The best way to neutralize them is with antioxidants, like the ones you get from many fruits and vegetables, including oranges, berries, leafy greens, and beets. You'll also find antioxidants in green tea. And to make sure you're getting all the nutrients you need, but don't always get, take a premium multivitamin like ActiVit®.
You'll hear talk from time to time of the antioxidants in chocolate, but keep in mind that chocolate also overstimulates oil production, so you wouldn't be doing your skin any favors by plowing through those M&Ms. Click here for much better ways to zap those free radicals!
And then there's water. As with everything else having to do with your body, H2O makes all the difference. Eight glasses a day will hydrate your skin, flush out toxins, and regulate your oil glands, which is great news for your complexion. Water is also excellent for skin elasticity. Unfortunately, stretched skin often won't completely shrink to fit, but keeping hydrated will definitely help. For more reasons why you need to drink water, click here!

Test Your American Food Invention IQ!By Joe Wilkes
Put these great American innovations in food technology in chronological order.
- Coca-Cola – 1886. Coca-Cola was invented in 1886 by a pharmacist named Dr. John Pemberton. The original recipe was sold for medicinal purposes and included extracts of cocaine and the kola nut, giving the drink its name. In its first year of production, only $50 worth of product was sold, not covering the initial $70 investment. In 1905, cocaine was taken out of the recipe, and it began to be marketed as a soft drink.
- Double Bubble bubble gum – 1928. The first bubble gum was invented in 1906 by Frank Fleer, but was never sold. In 1928, Walter Diemer updated the formula, creating the pink chew we enjoy today. Chewing gum was invented in 1848 from spruce sap. Later, Thomas Adams realized chicle was a better gum ingredient as he investigated its use in tire production.
- The commercial metal lunchbox – 1950. The first lunchbox was produced in 1950 by Aladdin, and featured Hopalong Cassidy. Many more lunchbox tie-ins followed, although metal lunchboxes began to be phased out in the 1970s over parental concerns that schoolchildren were braining each other with them on the playground. Plastic ones sprung up to replace them. The last weapons-grade metal lunchbox, appropriately enough, featured Rambo in 1985.
- The Pez dispenser – 1952. The Pez dispenser was invented in 1952. Pez itself was invented by Austrian Eduard Haas in 1927. Its name was short for pfefferminze, the German word for "peppermint." The peppermint candies were designed to help people quit smoking. In 1952, to boost lagging sales, the candies were reformulated in fruit flavors to appeal to kids, and in a masterstroke of marketing, a dispenser was invented so kids could enjoy candy which came from a hole in the throat of their favorite cartoon character.
- The TV dinner – 1954. Gerry Thomas invented the Swanson TV dinner in 1954, as the boob tube was beginning to assume its dominant position as the centerpiece of American family life. In the 1960s, as shame over TV addiction began to set in, the term "TV dinner" was replaced with "frozen dinner." In 1986, the aluminum trays were replaced with microwaveable trays, so the product could be enjoyed using both of America's favorite electronic boxes.

Nicole Springer batting fourth in first game with Puerto Rico's women's national softball team.
Follow Live Puerto Rico vs. Brazil
Nicole Springer will cap a successful junior season with the Blue Devil softball program by competing with Puerto Rico's women's national team this summer. Springer and her Central teammates posted a school record 31 wins during the 2012 season.
Puerto Rico's women's national team will take the field for their first tournament this week in Oklahoma City, the World Cup of Softball, which will run from June 28 to July 2. On July 3, the team will travel to Vancouver for the Canadian Cup, which goes through July 11. The team will wrap this summer's schedule at the Women's World Championships July 12-22.
"I am beyond honored and blessed to be given a chance to represent my country in the sport that love," Springer said. "I'm ready to go out and play against the best players in the world and compete for a title we all have dreamed about since we were little girls."
Springer earned second team All-Northeast Conference honors during her first season at Central. She matched school records with 10 home runs and 49 runs batted in on the year. She was one of the conference's most powerful hitters during her first season in the NEC.
"This is a tremendous honor for Nicole to get to play for her country. I'm sure Nicole will represent Puerto Rico very well," head softball coach Jeff Franquet said. "I am so happy for her to have this incredible opportunity and it is a huge honor for our program as well."
Franquet added, "It will be fun to follow Nicole this summer as she gets the chance to face the best pitchers and teams in the world."
Puerto Rico's second game of the World Cup, against Team U.S.A., will be broadcast live on ESPN 2 and ESPN3.com, Thursday night at 7:00 p.m.
"I am looking forward to the travel and being on my own because I have never been away from home by myself," added Springer.

Looked at it last year, but could not make my mind up .
Was it two laps the same - cant remember.
ECN - take it you did the full, so was it any good ?
I'm in...slightly worried about lack of Isotonic of course, but have roped Daddy in to provide such services.
Might even get him to set up a little table for the fellow runners (subject to checking with race organiser...)
yeah have done the 1/2 twice and the full last year, it is two laps with a little bit of a funny little loop, however i did mention this to the organisers last year and they said they would look into it.
it is a good run, well.... i quite enjoy it
Did it last year
Enjoyable race
coming back to kick pure arse
we ran 4:41 last year followed by Robin hood the next week in 5:07
Hi All
Did the full last year and looks like I will do the same this year. The course is gently undualiting of what I can remember one or two climbs but nothing to fear. Can get a bit lonely on the second lap.
Fell in a heap at the 20 mile point at Stratford due to the heat (suffered with cramp). So plenty of long sunshine runs for me this time around.
yes Stratford was hell
gave in at 17
Stratford was supposed to be my one and only attempt at a full, but really enjoyed it so I have the bit between my teeth to go for another this year (did 4.28 and did not mind the heat too much but the second lap was a bit of a killer and a little lonely).
This sounds a little similar, so pondering .
Does it fill up quick (sure I read somewhere that 400 ! did it last year - that cant be right can it ?).
Did a 7 miler this morning which was glorious.
are you playing again Mr Mick n Phil;?
may actually catch up this year? are you playing at the Ellenborough 10k at Maryport in August again?
what about Langdale?
Am thinking of doing this one as part of a mental month in Sept....
What's the crowd support like? I've heard stories that marathoners are left to run alongside buses on the second lap - that can't be true can it?
Hi all,
Thinking of doing this marathon or Nottingham the week after.Anyone know which is the better course for a PB?I've heaerd Nottingham is to crowded.
Hi All
Vixx76 - Thats one way to make your mind up. Respect to you,
Paul - last year it was in bottles. Don't know about this year though.
Will have to start a training plan though keep telling myself its ages to go untill I count the weeks. Have a couple of halfs to warm up with the Wombourne and the B&BCHM. Anyone got some other races planned?
Another hill - have just entered both races
Is Wombourne next weekend? Can you still enter now?

Have you ever thought about what paradise might look like? You may well find it on the Mecklenburg Lake Plateau pilgrimage route from Friedland to Mirow, with its breathtaking unspoiled nature, forests, meadows, lakes, gently rolling hills and rare wildlife. It is a serene idyll that deeply moves visitors.
There is plenty of pristine nature for a route that was only opened as a pilgrimage trail around six years ago, with lakes that dominate the cityscape in places such as Neubrandenburg or the water city of Fürstenberg. There are also forests, meadows and parks that seem to go on forever, as well as a plethora of ancient sacred buildings, including churches that have been saved from ruin, such as the church in Roga between Friedland and Neubrandenburg, now one of the hidden gems along the route. Take pause, reflect and heighten your senses for the magic of the moment. Be at one and in step with nature. Take time to reflect at memorials, for example in Alt Rehse near Neubrandenburg, which was once home to the Reichsärzteschule (Reich Doctors' School) or at Ravensbrück near Fürstenberg, the largest women's concentration camp during the Nazi era. No matter which section of the route you chose – be it from Friedland via Neubrandenburg and then from Neustrelitz to Mirow (approx. 100 kilometres) or from Neubrandenburg via Burg Stargard and Fürstenberg to Mirow (approx. 120 kilometres) – you will find witnesses to the past still with us today, making us aware of the importance of mindfulness in life. Not to mention time. If you have this, and are nimble on your feet, you can embark upon both routes (approx. 220 kilometres) for a more intense experience.
Total length of route: approx. 220 km
Pilgrim hostels along the route?: Yes
Starts: Friedland or Neubrandenburg
Ends: Mirow
Arrival options: change at Berlin Central Station for regional express trains
Departure options: Neustrelitz
About the route: for detailed descriptions of the route and accommodation information (in German), visit: www.pilgerweg-mecklenburgische-seenplatte.de
Book accommodation before setting off on the pilgrimage (mobile phone signal is not always available) with a pilgrim's passport (request from www.pilgerweg-mecklenburgische-seenplatte.de) special prices often available for accommodation

Then I got some excited e-mails from Chris. I'll let her finish today's post:
As so often happens in my genealogy research, I go searching for one thing and find another. It's happened again!! My Swedish Great-grandfather, Carl Johan Augustinius Carlsson, aka John C. Carlson, somehow found his way as a 14 year-old boy to Gaylordsville, CT from Ödeshög, Sweden in the late fall of 1858. He knocks on the door of the tanner Eric Helsten, himself a Swede. According to my family records John is then bonded to Eric for 7 years and learns tanning and shoemaking.
After an unsuccessful attempt to find a family connection between young John and Eric, I posted the "tree" I had created on Eric's family on Ancestry.com and I was soon contacted by Eric's great-great-granddaughter, Erica. This ultimately led to the most fascinating discovery to date as far as my genealogy. Erica discovered deposition testimony of John and Eric over some as yet undetermined dispute between them. The insight into my John's 7 years in Connecticut is priceless!
Now to the most unusual discovery of all. At some point during the dispute between John and Eric, John runs away and ends up at the door of Rufus Beeman near Gaylordsville. According to Beeman's testimony in the deposition, John then stays with him for 4 years.
In trying to determine what Rufus's occupation was, I decided to research his family tree a little. I ended up on Roots Web and printed out his ahnentafel. I immediately began recognizing names!! Turns out Rufus is my 4th cousin 4X removed!! Good grief!! Rufus and I are both descended from Nathaniel Parke and Sarah Geer. This is through my dad's mother's side – the Quaker connection in my tree. I amazingly report my unbelievable discovery to Erica – who then relates that she, too, is descended from the very same line of Parke's!! We are distant cousins!!!
I just love genealogy!!!!

Book Review - Deity by Steven Dunne
This one sat at the bottom of my reading pile for a while, but what a treat when I finally got to it. Another debut novel. It is an intricately plotted combination of two investigations; one into an unidentified corpse in the river who unaccountably is missing some internal organs; and another into several missing students. The usual suspects are included, the young intelligent female, the maverick brilliant loner with poor interpersonal skills, the supervisor with an eye on the budget and the political realities. The writing is fresh however, and this is another new author to add to my list of ones to look out for. Recommended. Wendy
