What A Difference A Year Makes
I got into work the other morning and began my ritual of checking my email box, (the work one) my actual mail box, walking my departments and seeing what has sold or needs to be merchandised after being off for three days. Went through the special orders, checked the signups for the upcoming classes and started to settle in to being back at work. I have a somewhat revolving schedule that goes something like; five days on, one off and back in for five then off for three…kind of drives me nutty and that third day really makes me edgy. I trust my staff completely but I just feel like there is shit I could be and should be doing besides sitting on my couch watching Law & Order or movies. Okay a little side note, I did watch It's Complicated Tuesday…dude, awesome. That movie was one of the best I have seen in a long time….great dialog and chemistry, cooking, sex, falling in and out of love. The very real connection between people that have loved, shared a life, raised kids…life, real life. Like I said, awesome.
I was just getting into my groove when Randy came in and started talking to me about how we can generate new business. I always get a knot in my gut with these conversations, I so want the store to thrive and I literally lose sleep trying to think of ways to make that happen. Fuck I even stated this silly blog hoping that I would be able to reach people, touch them and inspire them to come see us at The Wine Country. I've put my whole life, the good and the bad…my whole heart into sharing myself here in this space in the hope that people would feel my passion for wine, my whole hearted love for it…how it was able to change me. Exposed myself in order to create a connection, I have not that much to give, just me, my stories and my connection to wine. What I've learned, how wine has found a way to touch every inch of my flesh, how it speaks to me, whispers to me….purrs at me and pushes me. The way it seduces me, is always in my head and my heart…
My late night rants and ramblings are my cricket's song….me rubbing my legs together, stringing my words together trying to weave a tapestry intriguing enough for people to begin rubbing their own legs together…start chirping and paint their own story with wine. My biggest hope is that they let our store be a part of it, think of us when they think about wine and all its glorious pleasures.
"You always have something creative to say on your blog, I just wish we could figure out a way to channel some of that to strum up some excitement here in the shop" Randy said as we were tossing ideas back and forth…I was momentarily speechless. Randy and I have had our disagreements about this blog, he is not a blog guy and for the most part sees them as a giant waste of time. Matter of fact a year ago even saying the word blog induced and almost gag-looking face for him…like he was trying to say it but the sheer ridiculousness of it all caused his face to screw all up. He started coming around a bit a few months ago and seems to read, (from what I can tell) fairly regularly now. We used to kind of bicker about it, me proclaiming it an important tool while secretly being crushed that he didn't see that I spent my nights writing and spilling my guts, trying to be funny or at the very least interesting…for him, for the store. He concerned that I was spending all this time and energy for nothing. "Aside from giving us more exposure"….don't even need to finish the rest of his sentence, he was acknowledging the fact that my hours of work and nakedness had in fact done something. What a difference a year makes.
We hashed out some ideas and I started an email blast about 2007 Burgundy. A vintage I went weak in the knees for the second I tasted my first little Bourgogne and one that has the press now taking a second look at. I harvested information from the "pros" and we put together a rather exciting lineup of wines to blast our customers with. I was feeling kind of driven and focused and that is when I saw him.
We have quite a few handicapped customers at The Wine Country, people that come in and need our help filling their glass, taking their credit cards from their wallets and even one customer that requires a bendy straw in order to sip his wine. These things touch me, to have a person that has been through whatever trauma that is courageous enough to have us bendy their straw, carry their case out or dig into their personal belongings to retrieve their credit card…well I admire that kind of openness and fearlessness. I envy it in a way.
I watched as he limped in rather uncomfortably, legs wobbly, leaning heavily on the cane at his left side. I was going about my business, pricing wines, calling reps, ringing up other customers but I kept my eye on him. Baggy Dockers, cane, sweater, awkward lean. I did my thing, working as always but this cane using, sweater clad figure with the tall man assisting him were in my peripheral. He seemed to be having his needs met, staff running to retrieve wines he wanted and him taking his time navigating the sales floor with a shopping cart.
I found myself watching him, the way he slowly shifted the hearty bar on the cart. The way he seemed to will his legs to power that cart. I was admiring him from afar, proud if his strength, his drive and just when I thought I could not be more moved he swung his cart around. Cane dangling on the side, tall assistant at the ready but not interfering, a face looking back at me. Eyes I had seen many times before but encased in a body that was not the one I had last seen him in.
"Credit or Debit?" I asked in my lightest most friendly voice. "Um, it's been so long since I have answered that question I'm not sure what to say" he responded. I felt my throat get thick and I felt my eyes locked on his. "I came for some Rose. I love coming here for Rose" he said as he watched me grip the neck of his gathered bottles and drop them in a box. I laid the credit card receipt on the counter and pushed a pen closer to his fragile frame. I watched as he used his left arm to lift his right hand…the one with the curled under fingers and unnatural arch and marveled in the way he was able to rest that unwilling limb atop the receipt and sign his name with his left hand.
A stroke, one year ago this maybe fifty year old violin repairman had a massive stroke that has had him in physical therapy every single day for a year. This man spent a year re-learning how to talk, walk, brush his teeth and stand and here he was, visiting The Wine Country and buying Rose. A connection. His body may not be as able as it once was but his memory of shopping at our store for Rose was vivid and powerful enough to bring him back. "It is so nice to see you again" I said as I handed over his receipts and pushed his box of wine in the direction of his helper. "Nice to be seen" he said with a smile and slowly made his way out the door. I watched as Randy chatted with him out by his car and before I knew it I was crying. Not sad for such a strong and courageous soul, no I was touched that coming to see us was something that he wanted to do.
Vintage, watching this whole thing made me think about vintage and what it really means. One year. So much can happen in the span of a year, the good the bad, the heartfelt and the humbling and all of that becomes part of who we are. How one year can change us, add layers to the already complex creatures that we are. Each vintage leaving it little "I was here" mark on each of us. It's the same with wine really and I for one happen to find comfort in the connection to a wine through its expression of a vintage. When tasting a 2003 Burgundy, the somewhat forced ripeness, the super soft acidity, the clumsy chunkiness of it, I am reminded of record breaking heat waves and watching footage of Europeans dipping into historic fountains to relieve themselves from the oppressive heat….tasting a wine from that vintage paints a picture on my palate of what the vines had to endure and what a winemaker was able to make from that. Smoke taint from fires, overripe or under ripe fruit, hard tannin, soft acidity, plump or thin each vintage leaving its mark, its history and it is there for us to taste. I want wine to speak to me like that, share its story, its struggles or windfalls with me. Much like the way I wish to make people understand my passion for wine by retelling the story of the evening, the people or the lust that surrounded it. That's why I have never gotten too caught up in the whole which vintage is better deal, why I don't measure one against the other. Was year 34 better for me than year 38? Dunno, without that 34 I wouldn't be this 38 and any attempt to place value on one above the other seems not only silly but really missing the beauty of discovery and expression.
Now I'm not saying I want to drink, (or want other people to drink for that matter) jacked up wines and when you follow producers rather than vintages the chances of that happening are slim. A great winemaker would sooner scrap a vintage, sell it off in bulk than dump a bunch of crap wine on the market with their name on it which is why I have always been much more producer driven than vintage driven. I like that I can taste subtle differences from vintage to vintage…even dramatic difference are thrilling for me. It's all history, it's all a story and for me it is a very real connection to a place, a winemaker and that one year. The next vintage will just be one more for me to read, feel, taste and connect with and I find myself grateful for that.
Grateful to the Francois Chidaines, Dominique Lafons, the Alix de Montilles…winemakers that aren't trying to crank out some soulless, timeless, placeless "juice" they are pouring me a story, inviting me to taste what each year has given them, reaching me and adding my experience, each new experience as one more chapter in their history book…weather they know it or not.
One year ago I could not know that Randy would be proud of the work I have put into this blog and even start gathering bits of my stoopid ramblings to include in our newsletter…
One year ago I could not know that a loyal customer would suffer as traumatic a life changing event as I could imagine and still find the will and want to come shop for Rose with us.
One year ago I could not imagine that the founder of Connoisseurs' Guide to California Wine would be reading my French leaning drivel
One year ago I could not have known that my best friend would move out of state
One year ago I could not know that a brilliant comedic writer would enter my life and forever change me
One year ago I could not know that I would be travelling to Memphis to meet a couple of my readers
One year ago I could not know that a sweet American living in France would find me
One year ago I could not know that the wine writer for the New York Times would read me, understand me, find something in my buzzy late night musings worth visiting time and time again
This blog
My words
The Wine Country
Our mission
My voice
The wines that send shivers down my spine
Wines that seem to wrap their fingers around my throat and gently stroke the words out of me
The winemakers
The vintages
That make that all possible
Make this all possible
Our connection
To each other
Beautiful discovery of exploration…..

Your cricket metaphor is very very cool & spot on.
I love the story about the gentleman who had the stroke. That connection to customers is so incredible & vital & it got me a bit choked up to.

Dammit! My eyes welled up again! Cheers to that man and his love of Rosé, because it's the little things. And cheers to you too Sam, because you rock.
J'espère que vous avez un bon weekend :-)

A tear? Yes.
Flattered to be mentioned? Of course.
Honored to be part of the community that has formed here? You betcha!!
Blown away by the incredible brilliance of your writing? Not surprising, frankly, this is a regular occurrence for me, and for all of us.
Amazed that in your list of things that have happened to you over the last year, there is no mention of your growth as a writer, in your understanding of yourself? Totally amazed, because, Samantha, I have read today's essay and it is not just brilliant, it is beautiful.
Thank you.

Dag-nab-it kids...I fear I am going to labeled "The Mean Girl of Wine Blogging" as I seem to keep making people cry. I am however touched that you all seem to be able to feel me...really quite amazing that.
Charlie Love,
I intentionally tried to leave things out of my little year roundup because I didn't want to make it all about me...although as a blogger it almost always is. I was hoping to post something that didn't make people tear up...I failed.
But if it makes anyone feel better Mr. Olken made me tear up too! Thank you all for the sweet words and support, makes my heart swell and makes me proud.

My Gorgeous Samantha,
One of your many gifts as a writer is your astonishing ability to make your readers feel connected to you. We think we know you. And we feel honored to know you. Each post feels like it is written to each of us individually, meant only for our eyes. The intimacy you've built here is unlike anything else I know of in the wine blogosphere, or beyond. And you do it so effortlessly.
It is an honor to be connected with you, My Love. Samantha and Ron get mentioned together everywhere (see Alfonso's post today) and, believe me, it makes me look good far more than it does you credit. I am the luckiest man alive to be mentioned in the same sweet breath as You.
Ten months ago you reached out to me and my life changed in ways I never could have expected. I am simply a better man for knowing you. It seems to me that many of your most moving posts revolve around courage, this one included. You admire this man's courage, you speak of the woman fighting breast cancer, but it is your own story that forms the backdrop. You know courage, you embody personal courage, you recognize and applaud courage in others, and you touch us. And you touch us because we admire you.
I'm just jealous of whoever that "brilliant comedic writer" is.
I Love You!
Your HoseMaster

"I have not that much to give, just me, my stories and my connection to wine."
Dear Sam, that gets my vote for understatement of the year. Charlie nailed it, I'm late to the party but have read enough of the archives to thoroughly agree.
It is exactly your sharing of these deeply personal interactions with people that connect us all, give our passion focus, and for me context and meaning, providing perspective on how fortunate we all are as we casually and for the most part effortlessly go about sipping and socializing. I'm of the mind that these events happen to you (and us) for a reason. Brings back a distant foggy memory of Vonnegut and intersecting circles.
On a more upbeat side I'm happy to report that the tears actually dissolved the dried up nose coffee and bloogers in my keyboard caused by the HoseMaster.

Ron My Brilliant Comedic Writer,
Man the things you say...melted kid, I am sincerely touched by your comment and remarkable adoration. Not sure I deserve such gushing Love but I will stuff it down deep in my heart and hold on to as tight as I can. I saw Alfonso's post and just started laughing, there we are again...almost like one word Sam & Ron.
You sweet thing you and it is a custom around these parts to make the new kid cry so you have been officially initiated. Happy to dislodge the coffee boogers.
Thank you so much for the email this morning, really very sweet and it made my day...

Dude, this really has to stop. You gotta stop moving me to tears, I may not be able to come visit anymore if you keep making me cry! That damn Rosé story was more touching than Michael Jackson.
Wouldn't it be cool if we were like trees and we could look and see the story of a year?
Here's an interesting tidbit, I choose the same sexy wine photo and included in my blog rant today.
Seriously though, I wish I lived near you and next time I'm within a 100-mile radius, I'm coming shopping at The Wine Country! You're doing a great thing with your voice, more than merly generating traffic for your store. I look forward to lots more of your late night ramblings, keep talking to me baby, I hear you.
- April 30, 2010 at 4:55 PM
- Samantha Dugan said...
Sip My Dear,
I never intend to make people cry...matter of fact I end up feeling kind of bad when and if I do. Just sharing my stories and observations...so you must NOT leave me, I need all the chickas I can get. If you are ever in my neck of the woods baby you simply have to come for a visit, I'll drink your Pinot of you swallow my Champagne, (had to).
- April 30, 2010 at 9:41 PM
- Sip with Me! said...
Oh baby, I long for the day when you will put your bubbles in my mouth. And don't worry, my Pinot is very memorable and I'm certain you'll only be wanting more (had to too). Don't worry, you couldn't keep me away!
- May 1, 2010 at 1:13 PM
I think Ron has said it best, "most of your blogs revolve around courage." You admire what other people can do--but you do the same thing in a different way. Honestly, I do see your life bigger than the store, a store I know you love. Who knows what will be in a year from now.
- May 1, 2010 at 5:02 PM

Awe, thank you my dear friend. I cannot imagine where else I would be....well aside from here waiting for you to return.

Dude. Seriously. A year ago. Wow. So much happens in a year. It really is crazy. Just 365 days ago so much seemed different... yet, some much of the core of who we are is still the same. Just different parts get exposed or revealed. Really cool.
If you think a lot has changed in 1 year, do the exercise of looking back where you were 5 years ago. Seriously think about that and you won't believe it.
This is something I try to do all the time. It may be one of the most humbling things of all... and as we both know, ego is not something I need any extra of, and some humbling would do me some good.
All that being said, my bet is if you look back at all the "years" in your life, this past one is probably not nearly as 'changing' as some of the other ones in your life. As you said so well... we are who we are because of what we've experienced... you gotta love it all, the good, the bad, the fun and the scary. In my opinion, that is what makes life delicious.
If this past 1, 2, 3, 5, 10 years have been this interesting, just think about the decades left before us. Let's all drink deeply of that and enjoy them heartily. The ride should be fun!

"Drink deeply of that"...I love that Woo.

Sam, you sleigh me! I get you and I know exactly where you are coming from. After writing my blog, for what it's worth, my boss has told me too that he wants more of that communication at our store, and lo and behold, our store site now has a blog, and FB and Twitter and all that other stuff. And the story about the gentleman who had the stroke - these are the kinds of things you hear about from someone who cares about the people, not just as a source of revenue, but really connecting and caring about them, as you would a dear friend or family member. You do this because you care about people and of course, the wine. You aren't a widget salesperson. You sell experience, adventure, poetry, and much much more. It is that passion and generosity of spirit that pulls us all in to read your exploits and your dreamscapes. I am always and forever in awe of you.

Like I said, "he seems to be" but more than that it feels like he is really proud of me....all I ever wanted.
Dude....you give me far too much praise but thank you. I do care very deeply for our customers. That's why I commit to memory their likes and dislikes and why I melt when they come back for more of something I just knew they would love. I'm sure you know what that is like and that connection is why I still love my job.

Osgood suffered the injury during this past Sundays game against Seattle and was placed on injured reserve Tuesday. He has recorded 19 special teams tackles in 27 games over two seasons with the 49ers. The 49ers signed linebacker Desmond Bishop to fill the roster spot. Bishop, who was released by Arizona earlier this month, has 318 tackles with nine sacks and one interception in 73 games with Green Bay, Minnesota and Arizona over eight seasons. San Francisco also signed tight end Xavier Grimble to the practice squad. Stitched NFL Jerseys .

Kari Lehtonen only needed to make 22 saves to record his 23rd career shutout as the Dallas Stars defeated the struggling Oilers 3-0 on Wednesday night. The Oilers (4-14-2) have lost four in a row and gone 1-8-1 in their last 10 to slip to second last in the NHL. It was the third consecutive home game the Oilers have been shut out, setting a franchise-worst record. Edmonton has only scored two goals in its last five home games. "This is extremely frustrating, not to be able to put a puck into the back of the net," said Oilers captain Andrew Ference. "It was one of these games again that you can point to positives, but at the end of the day you have to get the job done and score. Its obviously a huge challenge for everybody to keep their heads up right now and not grip their sticks too tight." Oilers centre Ryan Nugent-Hopkins said their inability to score is almost baffling. "The last three games at home, I dont know what it is," he said. "You are not going to win without scoring. We have to find a way to get the second and third opportunities. "Its not a good sign. I thought we played pretty good in the last three games, we just have to find a way to score. This is not something you want to keep doing, putting yourself in this situation. I cant stress enough how we have to bear down in front of the net." Rich Peverley, Antoine Roussel and Tyler Seguin scored for the Stars (9-7-2), who have won four of their last five games. Stars centre Shawn Horcoff credited Lehtonen for giving his team the time to find their footing in the contest. "Hes one of the best in the league and he gives us a chance to win like that every night," said Horcoff. "I think in the first, we started real slow and we gave up a number of key opportunities and he made a couple of real, big saves that allowed us to get our feet. Once we settled in a little bit, we were able to take the game over." There was a good pace to start the game as the Stars controlled much of the early play, but the Oilers had by far the best chance to that point when Jordan Eberle got the puck in tight in front of the net, only to robbed by an impressive glove save by Lehtonen. Edmontons Sam Gagner hit the crossbar two minutes later. The game remained scoreless through thhe first with the Stars getting 11 shots on Edmonton goalie Devan Dubnyk and the Oilers responding with nine.dddddddddddd After the Oilers continued to squander power-play opportunities, including a lengthy 5-on-3 early in the second, Dallas took a 1-0 lead. Peverley got a shot away and was then able to outmuscle defender Jeff Petry to get to his own rebound and chip his fourth of the season past Dubnyk from the doorstep. The Stars came close to taking a two-goal lead on a power play with six minutes left in the second, but Cody Eakin rang a shot off the post. Edmonton survived a pair of 5-on-3 penalty kills before the midmark of the third period and even a penalty-shot attempt by Valeri Nichuskin with three minutes remaining. But the Oilers couldnt get the equalizer they needed before Seguin dumped a shot from his knees in his own zone into an empty net to give the Stars the 2-0 lead. "I was tired and I aimed for the net," Segiun said of his eighth goal of the season. "If it missed, I didnt care at that point. It was one of those shifts where we were out there for a solid minute at least. They were making some good plays and I just wanted to get it out." Roussel added yet another empty netter to ice the game. The Stars are right back at it on Thursday night as they play the second game of a three-game road swing in Calgary. The Oilers return to the ice on Friday when they host the San Jose Sharks. Notes - It was the first of three meetings between the two teams this season, with the Stars having claimed 11 of the previous 13 games they have played against each other. ... Dallas centre and former Oilers captain Horcoff made his first appearance against his old team since an off-season trade that sent him from Edmonton to the Stars in return for defenceman Philip Larsen. Horcoff played nearly 800 games for the Oilers in 12 seasons. ... Recently-signed free agent goalie Ilya Bryzgalov has yet to join the Oilers as he has been sent to the teams AHL affiliate in Oklahoma City for a conditioning stint. ... With young Oilers defenceman Justin Schultz still suffering from a groin injury, Corey Potter was called up and made his season debut. ... Stars winger Ray Whitney suffered a lower-body injury in his teams last game on Saturday and will miss at least the next two games. The veteran 41-year-old has recorded one goal and seven assists this season. ' ' '

Prior to tonight's game vs. the Los Angeles Angels, the Chicago White Sox placed right-handed pitcher Jake Peavy on the 15-day disabled list with a detached latissimus dorsi muscle in his right posterior shoulder and recalled right-hander Jeffrey Marquez from Class AAA Charlotte.
… Marquez, who has no major-league experience, will wear uniform No. 48.
Detatched lat for Peavy likely means he's out till Sept. best-case. White Sox will pursue starter on trade market.
Dan Hudson says hi.
UPDATE: Peavy's injury will probably require surgery. And that likely means the season is over for Peavy.
UPDATE #2: Will Carroll wonders if Peavy will be able to come back at all:
Injury expert Will Carroll immediately tweeted a dark diagnosis for Peavy. In a video released Wednesday afternoon, Carroll pointed to Oakland starter Ben Sheets, St. Louis starter Brad Penny and Boston ace Josh Beckett as injury comps for Peavy, but in each case, the pitchers merely had to recover from strains, not full tears.
"Can he come back at all becomes the question," Carroll said.
UPDATE #3: Mark Gonzales also wonders about Peavy's career:
The probable loss of Jake Peavy for the rest of the season cast an uncertain pall on the White Sox's postseason hopes as well as the long-term future of their marquee pitcher. …
UPDATE #4: Video of Peavy's comments (4:37).
Will Carroll agrees he's out for this year but he sounds a bit optimistic for Peavy coming back afterwards:
The question now becomes whether or not Peavy can come back at all. There are no comparables for this. Again, I went to my doctors and therapists, who think that he can come back. "It's not a cuff," said one ortho, "and putting the muscle back in place isn't difficult. It's an anchor. It's not like there's multiple structures or ways to do it really." A physical therapist put it more succinctly: "If a nail comes out of your wall, you hammer it back in place. That's all this is." We've seen players come back from detached muscles before.
And another animation of the injury, this one by ESPN's injury guru, here.

Also mustard underpants = fail.

Mix and Mold Monsters $1.88 each, I am probably still not patient enough to do these any sort of justice...
I hate to burst YOUR bubble, but I grew up in San Francisco in the '70s, and I'd be willing to bet that there was a fair bit of "standing undercomfortably close to one another for long periods of time while thrusting in their underpants" going on.
The guy on the left looks like one of my old math teachers.
Mustard underwear = protection from dribblers. Someone had to say it.
Although, if you were to purchase underwear that looked like that, and you happened up not one, but TWO other dudes with the same tastes, maybe you would be the type to stand around chatting and um, thrusting.
very american apparel.
Very disturbing
"c'mon Ted...you go first"
My eyes hurt, and my sensibilities are damaged.....but I think I've discovered my new Halloween costume!
Question: DO guys really tuck their shirts into their undies like the picture is demonstrating?!
Wow, a deleted scene from Love! Valor! Compassion!
"The early uniform redos for Star Trek: The Motion Picture weren't met with enthusiasm."
All that standing and thrusting is obviously due to the fact that they are wearing eachothers underwear. You know both the blue and green patterned numbers went together. What I can't figure out is where is the forth guy who has the mustard t-shirt and the pink briefs...or perhaps I really don't want to know!
Aqui nosotros hacemos eso todo el tiempo, de hecho, ahora mismo estoy en el living de mi casa con amigos y estamos todos en calzones!
Perfectamente natural por estos lares.
"Hey guys! Let's all get in our trendy, trendy underwear, and tell cool stories!"
Hee, hee!

Below is much of an encouragingly sane (or naïve?) take, run in the prominent UK Guardian, on NATO's Libya campaign and the range of desirable (or acceptable, or even possible) outcomes. Some rather encouraging comments (and a few frustrating ones), worth a read, also follow the piece.
Why no mention of a ceasefire for Libya, Obama?
The best way to protect desperate Libyan civilians is for Nato to reverse its mistake of taking sides
Jonathan Steele
guardian.co.uk, Friday 27 May 2011 23.00 BST
Beware ministers' claims that a military campaign is making slow but steady progress. It nearly always means the opposite. If "progress" was really being made in Libya, why would it be necessary for Britain and France to send attack helicopters? Why would General Sir David Richards, the chief of the defence staff, call for Nato to bomb infrastructure in Tripoli?On the bolded, NATO: "How dare you, sir! We never target individuals! However, if we happen to carefully target a building with him and/or his family inside it, or religious leaders seeking a peaceful resolution inside of it, it's not our fault if we then call it a 'command and control bunker.'"
Above all, why has Barack Obama used his European tour this week to abandon his public caution and make it clear that regime change is now the western objective in Libya? The more Nato escalates in word and deed, the clearer it is that the campaign has stalled. What is going on in Libya is civil war but one that is stalemated, and has been so for at least a month. Gaddafi's forces will not be able to recapture Benghazi and the other major cities of eastern Libya just as the rebels will not be able to capture Tripoli. In light of this, Nato is doing all it can to assassinate Gaddafi in the fragile hope his death will lead to his regime's implosion and rebel victory by a different route.
The word absent from Obama's remarks this week, as well as from Sarkozy and Cameron, is "ceasefire". An "immediate ceasefire" was one of the main demands of the UN security council resolution, which also authorised a no-fly zone at the start of the crisis, but it has been consistently ignored by Nato. On Thursday, almost unreported anywhere, an African Union summit called for a halt to Nato's airstrikes as well as a ceasefire and negotiations on transforming Libya into a democracy.This is nothing new, really. Many efforts have been made, but neither side has been able to meet the other's mutually exclusive demands. And the rebels and the NATO bloc has just watched these flitting efforts die, with quiet pleasure, like tiny moths in a bug zapper.
The same evening the Libyan prime minister, Al-Baghdadi Ali al-Mahmoudi, said for the first time that his government was ready to talk to rebel leaders to prepare a new constitution. Meanwhile, Abdul Ilah al-Khatib, the UN secretary general's special envoy on Libya, has been quietly shuttling between Tripoli and Benghazi, trying to broker a ceasefire and talks.
The obstacles are mainly on the rebels' side. Flushed with military support from Nato, they insist that Gaddafi must leave power before any ceasefire. Sending Apache helicopters and escalating Nato's offensive role only hardens the rebels' intransigence and further delays a political resolution.
Nato officials promptly kicked the Libyan government's offer of a ceasefire into the long grass, insisting it is "not credible". How can they know that? They claim previous ceasefire offers were shams since Gaddafi's forces never acted on them. But if they are to stick, ceasefires have to be mutual and the rebel side has never offered one. First, they wanted to be saved from defeat, and the initial Nato strikes achieved this for them. Then they thought Nato would help them win so they saw no value in stopping fighting.Fat chance. That does NOT meet the main objective - the subduction and restructuring of Libya and the looting of its wealth. Watch this effort to fail too, even if it shouldn't.
The time has come to test the latest ceasefire offer by accepting it in principle and working out a monitoring mechanism. The best way to protect Libya's desperate civilians is for Nato to reverse its mistaken policy of taking sides. It should declare support for the talks on transition that the Libyan government now says it favours.

Rot-Weiss Essen 1-1 Preußen Münster (24:10:09)
- click on photos to enlarge image -
So, thinking quickly, I decided to book up a coach and try and tackle the problem head on. Firstly, we'd travel to Essen in Germany and then onto Arnhem in the Netherlands for two games in one day in two different countries. Quite why I didn't do that in the first place, I'll never know. Especially as Rot-Weiss Essen appeared to tick every box going when it comes to the football FAN experience.
Appropriately enough - as we left from Tilburg - our coach driver for the day was named King William. William in that that was his name and King in that he'd stocked the coach full of cold beer for the day. We'd not had much sleep from the previous nights shenanigans, so it was a fine effort that we only departed 10 minutes later than the advertised 10am - club fine for Andy Walker.
The Belgian lads were the first to tuck into the onboard entertainment (beer) and the rest of the coach swiftly followed suit. King William was in for a bumper pay day.
I'd arranged to meet up with Roland Sauskat in Essen. He works for the AWO FAN-Projekt and as soon as he boarded our coach became my instant hero for a number of reasons. BISH: he handed over a bag full of RWE memorabilia (thanks mate) and BOSH: as we pulled up at the ground we were met by around twelve van loads of riot police and.....erm Roland....pal...this wasn't in the script.
As legends do, Roland took this all in his stride. Like Obi-Wan Kenobi he cast a Jedi spell on the police with a waving of his fingers "These are not the hooligans you are looking for, they can go about their business, move along...move along". And, with that, we were escorted through the police cordon at a rate of knots. Our coach went one way (to a safe parking spot) and we went the other (to the pub in the ground, above the club shop). And relax.
Despite being effectively a regional match in the German Fourth Division this had a big game feel to it. There is some history between the two teams. On the last matchday of the 2001/02 season, Essen played away in Münster. Some RWE supporters paid a visit to the local museum and somehow managed to waltz off with the city's famous sword. Just to rub it in they stuck it up for sale on a fan forum which alerted both the police and the press. Naughty but nice.
Back in the pre-match pub the 32 of us mixed with the locals and enjoyed the rather splendid service (nod to the lady delivering us beer at regular intervals). We heard about the RWE friendship with Werder Bremen and the rivalry with Sch*lke 04, Rot-Weiss Oberhausen and far too many others to mention.
Sadly - upon entering the ground - the first thing I had to report was the fact that there had been a robbery. Someone had stolen one of the stands and (more alarmingly) one of the floodlights - the first ever floodies in Germany no less. Not to worry though, the three stands that remained were rocking. The party was in full swing helped by a tremendous away following from Münster. The crowd of 10,022 was comfortably the biggest of the season. Pleasingly, topping the 10k mark by virtue of 32 members of the EFW team present.
Essen's current 'Roy of the Rovers' is Sascha Mölders. With seven goals in his last eight games he was the man and it was also he who was stoking up the atmosphere by winding up the vociferous home support. It has to be said he spent more time doing that than showing us his skills during a tepid first half performance. Cometh the hour though and cometh the Mölders as they (probably don't) say in these parts. Just after half time he notched the opening goal, sending the George Michael Stadium into raptures. That and a bout of spontaneous mooning to the fairly unhappy away contingent.
Deep into injury time and with Big Deaks cajoled into helping the ultras with their large flag display - Essen were delivered a swift kick to the Polloks. Wojciech Pollok who'd not long been on as a sub, popped in a 93rd equaliser for Münster with the very last kick of the game - ouch! You'd have thought they'd won the World Cup Final itself they way they celebrated. We'd all have done the same though and no mistake.
We returned to the EFW coach and thanked Roland and Essen for their splendid hospitality. Rot-Weiss Essen had ticked every box going: Huge banks of terracing (check), cheap as chips for a match ticket (8 Euros - check), no ban on beer (check), in fact - people walking around with jetpacks of beer in stadium (checkity-check), friendly welcome for EFW (check), brilliant atmosphere from both sets of fans (checkity-checkity-check-check-check). Full house.
When they've built their new stadium in a couple of years time - European Football Weekends will be returning to Essen. If you are thinking of going to a game in Germany you could do much worse. As for the now, we were off to Arnhem for our second game of the day. To be continued............

Live to merge, merge to live. Part III
Merge to live - Part Three - Tracking
This is the third part in the series of articles about merging I started a few weeks ago. In the first two ones I covered fear of merging and then how to handle manual conflicts and why three-way merge does make sense.
Today I'm going to talk a little bit about merge tracking.
Merge tracking, what's in there for me?
If you've never heard of merge tracking... well, welcome to a whole new world. You've probably heard about it after Subversion 1.5 has been released. It has finally introduced merge tracking. It still has some caveats but it is evolving in the right direction.
Many other systems out there have merge tracking since long ago.
Anyway, what does it mean?
Merge tracking is deeply related to version control tools. You can run a file merge in isolation, but with merge tracking you rapidly enter the field of SCM (whether you want to translate it as Software Configuration Management or Source Code Management is just your choice).
Merge tracking is also deeply related to branching, but I'll try to postpone the topic as much as possible.
Have a look at Figure 6. It represents the merge we've been running in the previous samples. We've the original file and then your changes and mine drawn as some sort of tree or graph.
After I merge your changes with mine, a merge link is created telling the system I've merged your changes on mine. Also, I would like to highlight that during this change we modified exactly the same lines of code, so it will be a manual merge... Remember it because I'll use it below.
What's the benefit? First: you know what you've done since your version control system takes care of this information. If you don't have it, it'll be harder to figure out what happened.
Figure 6. The simplest merge tracking
But, let's make another set of changes on our sample files. You can check how our tree looks like after the changes at Figure 7.
You make a new modification and I make another one, and once the two of us are finished, I decide to merge your changes back on mine again.
How does merge tracking help here? First of all, you remember I mentioned above our first merge was not automatic, don't you? So, what's the benefit of merge tracking? It will just merge the changes after the last merge happened, and you won't have to solve the same manual conflict again. It greatly simplify merging because it will let you focus on what's new and you won't have to merge all the old stuff.
Figure 7. A new set of changes and their merges
How does the merge tool know what to merge? In any three way merge you'll need a base (or original file) and two contributors. In the sample highlighted at Figure 7 the version control tool, with the help of merge tracking, will first try to find what's the base file for the two changes we've (two revisions after all).
And how does the system locate it? It will use your tree of versions and try to locate the closest parent revisions of the ones you're trying to merge. The algorithm is known as nearest common ancestor and it is about finding the closest parent of a couple of nodes on a directed graph.
In our sample Figure 8 shows the base or common ancestor for the two revisions we're trying to merge.
Look carefully, if the merge link wasn't there, the parent would be the original revision, and then the merge tool would have to ask you again about the previously solved conflict (the code would be the same at the two revisions but different from the base).
The merge arrow solves the problem allowing the underlying system to correctly identify which one is the new base for the merge.
Figure 8. The base revision or common ancestor for the merge
Well, what's merge tracking after all? As you've just seen, it's just a colorful way of describing a mechanism which ensures your merges are done right. Merging is not only about combining changes together, but identifying the rights contributors in the game. If you fail to identify the contributors, it doesn't matter how cool your three-way merge tool is, it will screw up your code!

Jon and Kate Gosselin's sextuplets — Alexis, Hannah, Aaden, Collin, Leah and Joel — turn six today.
According to Radar Online, the children will get to celebrate their birthday by seeing both of their parents today. Kate reportedly OK'd Jon to stop by and visit even though Monday wasn't one of the days he was originally scheduled to spend time with the kids.
As for Kate's feelings about today's big day, Kate hit her official blog to share her feelings about the six children, turning six.
"My six youngest children are turning six in only a few days! I'm not really sure how that happened so quickly but it makes me happy but, also … well … sad!" she wrote last week.
"To make my sadness worse, their birthday falls on the same day of the week that they were born — a Monday! And also, like the year they were born, it's the day after Mother's Day!" Kate wrote on her blog last Thursday. "I barely have to start thinking about that day and, yep, hold on, I have to grab a tissue. I gotta catch these tears before they smear my eye makeup!"
Kate went on to share what she called six "miracles" that came with her family becoming a "Plus 8."
"It always amazes me how unique and special they each are alone. But when they are all together, they're a perfectly blended garden of wild flowers!" she noted.
The mom and upcoming star of "Twist of Kate," wrote that having the babies, who were delivered via C-section, was very painful.
"As each of my tiny peewees were pulled out I felt pain and prodding and felt totally out of control (not good, if you know anything about me!), but the miracle that made it all bearable was hearing six healthy tiny cries as my six babies took their first breath of air and were welcomed by their first-ever crowd of fans," she wrote. "Although I was nothing but a fillet on a table nearby, it goes without saying that I was their biggest fan (and still am … and will always be!)"
The reality star wrapped things up by noting she looks forward to celebrating more big days with the sextuplets.
"What a miracle to be the mom of six miracles turning six! I've enjoyed every year … I can't wait to enjoy many more!" she added.

My Bike Finally Makes Aliyah
Yesterday a Nefesh B'Nefesh charter flight of 254 Olim landed in Israel. But aside from all the passengers that made Aliyah the plane held my dear bike which I left behind almost six years ago to the day when I made Aliyah. I've been mentioning it to everyone I see all week. But actually aside from the humorous part there is something very important about such an occasion.
First some history. My father bought me this bike as a teenager and I spent many wonderful summers getting it covered in mud from the Catskills. I did ride it occasionally in the City as well but as I got older my bike found its way to my parent's garage where it mostly collected dust. When it was time for me to make Aliyah that was one of the items I had all but given hope on ever making it to Israel. (Another was my large bar mitzvah shas set, which B"H did also end up making Aliyah a few years ago.)
Bringing my bike Home really represents moving the last possession I still owned in America. And today, on the six year anniversary of my Aliyah, as trivial as it may seem, seeing it parked in my machson really gives me a warm feeling of tying all the loose ends that were left open.
There's a famous medrish that explains when Yaakov Avenu was returning to Eretz Yisrael he left some small jugs on the other side of the Jabbok river and returned to retrieve them. (It was here that he fought and defeated an Angel and was renamed Yisrael, Israel.) I wonder if Yaakov too felt his Aliyah to Eretz Yisrael wouldn't be complete till everything he owned, even small jugs, were finally with him in the Holyland.

BOSTON -- A study led by researchers at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Broad Institute of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard University provides the first demonstration of a practical method of screening tumors for cancer-related gene abnormalities that might be treated with "targeted" drugs.
The findings, published online today on the Nature Genetics Web site, may help relieve a bottleneck between scientists' expanding knowledge of the genetic mutations associated with cancer and the still nascent ability of doctors to use that knowledge to benefit patients. The results constitute an important step toward the era of "personalized medicine," in which cancer therapy will be guided by the particular set of genetic mutations within each patient's tumor, the authors suggest.
"It's universally recognized that cancer is a disease of the genome, of mutations within genes responsible for cell growth and survival, and a great deal of effort has gone into finding those mutations, to the point where several hundred to a thousand are now known," said the study's senior author, Levi Garraway, MD, PhD, of Dana-Farber and the Broad Institute. "The challenge has been how to determine which of them are involved in each of the hundreds of kinds of cancer that occur in humans -- and to develop accurate, affordable methods of detecting key mutations in tumor samples. This study suggests that such a method is feasible on a large scale."
The authors took advantage of a scientific serendipity to devise a simple test to detect important cancer mutations. Mutations in oncogenes (genes linked to cancer) do not occur randomly; rather, they seem to arise most frequently in certain regions of the oncogenes. As a result, researchers didn't necessarily have to scan the entire length of each gene, but could focus instead on the sections most likely to harbor mutations.
They performed these screenings with a technology known as high-throughput genotyping, a fast, relatively inexpensive way of profiling gene mutations within cells. It involves extracting DNA from a tumor sample, copying this material thousands of times, depositing segments of it in tiny "wells" on a small plate, and mixing in reagents that reveal whether each segment carries a specific mutation. Automated equipment then reads the plates to determine which mutations are present in each sample.
In the study, the researchers scanned 1,000 human tumor samples for 238 known mutations in 17 specific oncogenes. (Those 17 were chosen because they are mostly "classic, well-known" contributors to cancer, Garraway stated.) They found at least one mutation in 298 of the samples, or 30 percent of the entire group, which was in keeping with the rates reported in scientific literature for the types of cancer examined.
"Mutations were identified in the percentages we expected," Garraway said, "which indicates this technique is on-target for the mutations we were interested in. Overall, the technique worked very well: we were able to obtain mutation profiles that were accurate, sensitive, and cost-effective." The cost of processing each sample was between $50 and $100, although the figure would probably be somewhat higher if the technology were used in cancer clinics to test for large numbers of oncogene mutations.
The scans produced some surprises as well. Mutations were found in several types of tumors where they had not been previously recognized. Researchers also discovered an unexpectedly large number of instances where the same set of mutations co-occurred within tumor cells, suggesting that oncogenes often work in partnership.
As promising as high-throughput genotyping is for cancer treatment and research, its capacity will need to be expanded so it can handle larger numbers of mutations. The next step, Garraway explained, would be to work with clinical investigators to explore whether use of the technology is feasible in a clinical setting and whether it actually improves doctors' ability to classify and treat individual tumors.
"We've shown the practical potential of this technique," observed Garraway, who is also an instructor in medicine at Harvard Medical School. "It is a step toward the day when cancer patients will routinely have their tumors scanned for specific mutations, and treatment will be based on the cancer's particular genetic profile."
Major funding for the study was provided by grants from Genentech, Inc., the American Cancer Society, the National Cancer Institute, the Prostate Cancer Foundation, the Burroughs-Wellcome Fund, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, and the Novartis Institute for Biomedical Research.
The co-lead authors of the paper are Roman Thomas, MD, formerly of Dana-Farber and the Broad Institute, and Alissa Baker of Dana-Farber, who contacted cancer researchers around the world to obtain the 1,000 tumor samples used in the study. Co-authors include Matthew Meyerson, MD, PhD, also of Dana-Farber and the Broad Institute, and researchers from Dana-Farber; the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center; Nagoya City University Medical School, in Nagoya, Japan; the David Geffen School of Medicine at the University of California at Los Angeles; Brigham and Women's Hospital; University Hospital of Zurich, Switzerland; Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine; the National Cancer Institute; National Naval Medical Center; the Medical University of Vienna, Austria; the Center of Molecular Medicine at the Austrian Academy of Sciences; the Wistar Institute in Philadelphia; the Navartis Institutes for Biomedical Research; Harvard Medical School; the Max-Planck Institute for Neurological Research in Cologne, Germany; and the University of Cologne.

One of the simple pleasures Morgan Rielly enjoys is occasionally lacing up with his dad, Andy, for pickup hockey at the Hollyburn Country Club.
For someone whom hockey called away from home at 14 to live and play in the frozen flatlands of southern Saskatchewan for the renowned Notre Dame Hounds, it's a special treat.
"I've had the opportunity to play with my dad and he's been a big influence on me as a hockey player," Rielly said, sitting in the grill at Hollyburn.
"I've seen him gradually get older and a bit slower," Rielly added with a smile, "whereas he's seen me get older and faster."
The Rielly family is heading en masse to Pittsburgh for Friday's NHL entry draft, where the 18-year-old 6-foot, 200-pound defenceman could go anywhere between fifth and 15th overall.
It's a credit to the West Vancouver teenager that he's still generally considered the second or third best defenceman in the class of 2012. Rolling along at a point-a-game pace with the Moose Jaw Warriors, Rielly tore an ACL on Nov. 6, his 18th game, and missed the rest of the regular season and first two rounds of playoffs.
He was told at first he'd be out a couple of weeks.
"At the time, three weeks seemed like an eternity. You just want to play. I told myself, 'You'll be OK, you just have to rehab a bit.'"
But then a scan done at Saskatoon's Royal University Hospital revealed a darker truth: Rielly could expect to miss up to nine months with a torn knee ligament.
"They said, 'You won't be able to play again this year.' It's hard to comprehend at the time. You just don't understand that you can't play again."
Rielly had surgery on Dec. 1 and changed mental gears, from coming back in weeks to just returning at all this past season.
Through determination and much lobbying of his coach, training staff, doctors and his parents (he pleaded to return for the first round of play-offs against Regina, then the second round against Medicine Hat, only to be turned down by one and all), he made it back for the WHL's Eastern Conference final against Edmonton, which opened on April 20.
"As a player, when you feel you're ready to play and your coach says no, it's tough," he said.
His knee was strong in the five games it took Edmonton to eliminate Moose Jaw and his performance at the NHL combine con-firmed the knee was OK.
"It was a long road," said Rielly, who like fellow Hollyburn product Griffin Reinhart was named Friday to Team Canada for a four-game series against Russia's juniors in August to commemorate the '72 Summit Series. (It replaces the usual junior team summer development camp.)
Until his rehab, Rielly can't remember taking more than a weekend off from training.
It took eight weeks before he could start to use his legs in training again, doing things like quarter squats.
"I had a lot of days when I was questioning whether all the hard work I was doing was really paying off.
"It's hard to see improvement, if you're actually healthier than you were the previous week. You just have to keep going and hope for the best, have faith."
It'll be a big day on Friday but, really, it's just a whistle-stop before the rest of Rielly's life begins.
He got some good advice, he said, from his dad - who played Jr. A for the old Surrey Stampeders - and his late grandfather Doug.
"My grandpa and my dad have always told me it's a bit like high-school graduation.
"It's a cool experience, you get dressed up, you do your thing on the stage. The next day you've got to go find a job.
"So I'm not holding much expectation about how high I go. I'm just happy to have the experience of the draft.
"I understand your career isn't made on draft day, your career is made down the road, that you have to prove yourself no matter what."

September 18, 2012 – The final game of the Canadian Rugby Championships will be played on Saturday Sept 22 at the Swilers Rugby Complex at 3pm between long standing rivals Ontario and The Rock. The National title is on the line, with Ontario in the driver's seat as they need no more than a tie or 2 bonus points (awarded for losing by less than 8 points or scoring 4 tries). The Rock is mathematically in contention but need to win by more than 50 points. In the event of the Rock winning but by a margin of less than 50 points, the Prairie Wolf Pack will win the title.
The Rock have won their last 2 games having beaten Pacific Tyee at home and the Wolf Pack away in 2 thrillers, but lost their first 2 games by small margins. Ontario have won 3 and lost one game to Pacific Tyee, with an aggregate of +35 comparing scores for and against. The Rock's aggregate difference is +1.
"We are delighted with our performances so far this year, as are rebuilding and have improved in each game" commented Director of Rock Rugby Pat Parfrey." Ten of the squad for Saturday range from 18-22 years and they will definitely benefit as they experience the tensions of what is in effect a National Final. Hopefully they will respond to the exhortations of a home crowd with a display of passion and guts".
Ontario have a strong team with Canadian players at prop (Doug Wooldridge and Tom Dolezal), flanker (John Moonlight and Tyler Ardron), scrum half (Jamie McKenzie), center (Derek Daypuck), and deserve their tag as favorites to repeat as National Champions. The Rock will be without Kevin Parfrey, Dean Blanks, Morgan Lovell, and Geoff Warden because of injury. However the Rock have been buoyed by strong performances from their younger players particularly Bob Rogers (prop), Jon Phelan (second row), Toni Wodzick (flanker), Patrick Parfrey (outhalf) and Ciaran Hearn (fullback). Consistent with their rebuilding program the Rock will start 21 year old Kyle McGuirk on the wing and include 18 year old Alex Rogers in the squad.
"We are on a development journey with our squad and will focus on playing properly," said Simon Blanks (head Coach of the Rock)."Our offense has been good but our defence is a work in progress. To be competitive on Saturday we will not only have to tackle strongly but we will need to maintain our defensive structure, which has broken down on occasion this year. Nonetheless we will continue to play the young bucks".

As many people already know, SUMO as a support web platform is built around open source software. For the knowledge base and forum, we use TikiWiki, an open-source PHP-based content management system. What fewer people might know is that SUMO is currently based on TikiWiki 1.10, which is almost two years old today. The latest version of TikiWiki is 3.1 and in only a couple of months 4.0 will be released.
This week, TikiWiki community lead/member Marc Laporte is paying me a quick visit in Eskilstuna, Sweden to discuss our current situation and to figure out what to do with SUMO. We have identified three potential plans:
- Plan A: upgrade SUMO to TikiWiki 4.x. This is what I'm hoping we'll be able to achieve. The question is how much work it means to get to 4.x and how much better things will be once we're there.
- Plan B: fork our current codebase and continue to add our own features on top of it. This is essentially what we're doing today, and it's not exactly ideal since we end up doing work in parallel with TikiWiki, and we're wasting precious resources.
- Plan C: migrade our content to another CMS, e.g. Drupal. By far the most costly effort in the short term, and not clear whether the benefits outweighs the investment cost.
Now that Marc and I have the opportunity to spend two full days working face to face, I'm hopeful that we can not only pick Plan A, but come up with a solid plan for the first few steps to make the plan a reality.
If you're part of the SUMO or TikiWiki community, I would love to hear what you think and if you think there are things we should focus on discussing!

Stil in Stockholm: Rosanna
Rosanna, 18, Works at Weekday
Weekday trenchcoat,
Inwear sweater,
Ali leggings,
H&M gloves
Mary and I often get asked in interviews what it is that catches our eye when we decide to take a photo. Since we recognize that style and taste are always subjective, we'd like to begin to provide a bit more insight into the stories behind the photos we take. Not only as justifications of why we think our photo subjects have style, but also to create a more in-depth dialogue around the looks you see on Stil in Berlin. And since style is about much more than just what one wears, we plan to give a bit more information on the personalities our subjects. Think of it as street style meets ethnography.
When arriving from Berlin into Stockholm, the first thing you notice is that the streets are in such a complete contrast to one another. Stockholm is cleaner, brighter, and graffiti-free. There's a clean and sharp quality to nearly everything here, actually, which is only accentuated by the Swedish design. That being said, it can be difficult to stand out in the fashion-obsessed Stockholm. Trends catch on quickly here, and as I stood on Götgatan searching for photo subjects, I saw the same styles repeated over and over. Although black is a constant in Sweden, something about Rosanna stood out amongst the crowd on Götgatan. The triangular silhouette of the trench coat and the perfect neatness of her pulled-back hair was what caught my eye even as she dashed into a cafe with her back turned to me. The studded clutch and red lipstick added the last bit of accessorizing that made the right contrasts to the subdued black. So, it's true: a little does go a long way.

Gorgeous. But she's a model, she gets paid to look this good
like the annotations/ethnology concept
Black is beautiful!
I LIKE IT, BLACK IS THE NEW BLACK..@ MAISONCHAPLIN.blogspot.com
it's all good
the model is already beautiful she is very lovely with her bloody red lipstick
Black is ubiquitous in Stockholm but perhaps there is some respect for world events, such as the devastating earthquake, being expressed.

I'm of the opinion that historical material needs two of three factors in order to survive for future generations: luck, money, and someone caring. Most of our collections have benefited from all three. Because of this there is less material representing working class people that survives than the wealthy; in other words, without money the material's survival relies heavily on luck. Since Hampden was a traditionally a working class community, less stuff has survived, making the manuscripts, artifacts, and photographs that much more valuable.
So what can I learn from this swiss-cheese piece of map that somehow made its way to our library years ago? For one, I learned that the history of the area represented in the map is equally full of gaps—not a coincidence. Second, I learned that the best way to fill these historical gaps is by using the resources the map lives amongst in our library. A healthy library (and the help of Francis O'Neill) can make each crumb exponentially more valuable.
There are three very striking features on this map. (1) The ornate title reading "Hampden Improvement Association; Property Baltimore County, 1857, J. Morris Wampler;" (2) it is subdivided into 250 numbered, mostly undeveloped plots; and (3) the name H. Mankin, the man responsible for giving the village known as "Slabtown" its modern name "Hampden," on a couple of the larger plots with two houses.*
Using The Baltimore Sun and the Dielman-Hayward file, we found that J. Morris Wampler was appointed Chief Engineer of the City Water Board in 1857; he most likely designed the Hampden reservoir. It appears this map was commissioned by the Hampden Improvement Association, perhaps to create the path for a pipe from the reservoir at Roland Park to another reservoir at the present day site of Roosevelt Park in Hampden.
We found references to the Hampden Improvement Association in The Baltimore Sun, but couldn't figure out exactly what it was. We did find reference to the incorporation of a similar group calling themselves "the trustees of Hampden Hall," in Chapter 222 of Laws of Maryland, 1856. This group evidently had the joint goal of forming a girls school. In the process of incorporating, they established themselves as a land company. Whether this was coincidence, an accident, or for economic reasons is unclear, and though two lots are called "College Lots" on the map, no school was ever established. The names associated with Hampden Hall are John N. McJilton, David Stewart, Samuel Wyman, Isaiah Martin, and Henry Martin. After looking up H. Mankin in the Dielman-Hayward file, I noticed that his father was named Isaiah. I am guessing this is a typo and these two "Martins" are actually the "Mankins."
General Henry Mankin (1804-1876) made his fortune in shipping, taking over the firm Clark and Kellog, when its founders retired. He was responsible for establishing the first regular lines between the major ports of Baltimore and Liverpool; his fleets became famous for the large quantity of freight that was sent overseas, and the hundreds of immigrants who arrived on his boats returning to harbor. In 1838 Mankin married Sarah Anne Foard, and they bought a country place north of Baltimore between Falls Turnpike and Stoney Run called Mount Pleasant. They planted many trees and flowers, and soon the area that is now known as Hampden "became noted for its beauty and fragrance."
Predicting that Baltimore would be forced to expand northward, Mankin left the shipping business and formed the Hampden Improvement Association (possibly through the Hampden Hall maneuver) as a business venture with the Mount Pleasant tract at its heart. Unfortunately for Mankin the expansion did not happen at the rapid rate he anticipated—it was slowed by the Civil War. Mankin passed away In 1876 a much poorer man than he had been in the 1850s, his investment never really panning out. Though the village had greatly increased in size due to an influx of mill hands and foundry workers, it never turned into the prosperous business venture he envisioned. In 1887 Hampden was incorporated into the city when Baltimore expanded northward.
(Eben Dennis)
*Outsiders originally called the village "Slabtown" after the architecture of its small houses. This name was greatly disliked by the majority Irish population of the tiny village, and they pushed to name the town Kellyville, after Martin kelly, the inn keep and man responsible for building many of these houses. Evidently he was a modest man and declined. The largest landowner in the community was General Henry Mankin (1804-1876), and thinking the name Hampden (after 17th century British statesmen John Hampden) sounded distinguished, he got it to stick.

Well, spring is here and it's finally getting warmer. The birds are singing, the sun is shining and it's time to wrap up the comments for the month for February. This month has been kind of slow on the comments part, maybe due to the enormous amount of activity happening on our recently opened forums.
You can find the winner of this month's contest along with the recap of rules after the gap. And people, I encourage you to comment more and more! The amount of digging I had to do to find a suitable comment this month appalled me! Anyway, here we go!

BARCELONA, Spain - Grimacing in pain after he nearly scored his record-equaling 85th goal of the year, Lionel Messi rolled around on the ground clutching his left knee and thought he might be headed for an extended injury layoff.
Instead, his collision with Benfica goalkeeper Artur late in Wednesday's Champions League match may only rule the Barcelona forward out for one match.
"I sincerely thought it was the last ball I would be touching for a long time because of the pain," Messi said Thursday. "I tried to go ahead and shoot but I didn't have the strength."
Messi collided with Artur in the 85th minute of the 0-0 draw while trying to score a goal that would have put him even with Gerd Mueller with the most goals scored in a calendar year. Barcelona fans at the Camp Nou then watched silently as he was taken off on a stretcher.
The 25-year-old Argentina international is trying to break Mueller's 40-year-old scoring record. He has scored 84 goals in 2012 and has four games to catch Mueller, who scored 85 for Bayern Munich and West Germany in 1972.
Messi said he could miss Sunday's league match at Real Betis, but had originally thought his career was in jeopardy.
"I feel much better than yesterday. I don't know if I will be there on Sunday," he said. "It depends on how (my left knee) progresses.
"I didn't think anything when it happened. I just believed from the pain that I would be sidelined for a long time," Messi said. "At that moment I thought the worst. Later, when the doctor examined me in the changing room and ruled out a serious injury, it was a relief."
Barcelona coach Tito Vilanova sent on Messi with about 30 minutes to play even though Barcelona entered the game with first place in their group guaranteed. In his first season since taking over from Pep Guardiola, Vilanova has led Barcelona to a record start in the Spanish league with 13 wins and a draw.
Messi said he had no regrets about playing the game.
"What happened to me yesterday could have happened to me in practice or any game," Messi said. "In the last five years, since Guardiola arrived, it has always been like this. When we weren't playing for anything I would still play a few minutes. Under Tito it has been the same."
Messi was prone to injury in his early years with Barcelona's first team after coming up through its youth academy. But Guardiola's return to coach the team in the 2008-09 season coincided not only with a leap in Messi's development as a player, but also with him becoming much more durable.
The last time Messi missed a match due to injury was in September 2010.
Messi is one of three finalists for the FIFA world player of the year award to be announced on Jan. 7. He is trying to become the first player to win the award four times.
