Today welcome to the blog, Henry Whitter.
According to "Wikipedia", Henry Whitter started playing guitar at a young age and later went on to learn how to play piano, fiddle,banjo and harmonica. The song in the link is not his own but an old time railroad ballad. However this song and recording is what boosted Henry's fame by a hefty majority. One of the earliest folk musicians to quit his job as a cotton mill worker to pursue his passion for music, Henry Whitter was a true believer in the pursuit of happiness.
Take a listen to this one. No really. Do it.
This song has been on repeat for me for days. Jackson C. Frank came out with one incredible, indelible folk album in 1965, but is sadly not widely known. He is a powerful singer and song writer. Listen to his music, you will not regret it.

Artist Bio: Ben Howard (born 24 May 1988) is an English singer-songwriter, born in London. He moved to Totnes Devon in his teens and is currently signed to Island Records[1][2] and Communion Records[3]. Howard was raised by musical parents who exposed him to lots of their favourite records from singer-songwriter artists from the 1960s and 1970s, such as Joni Mitchell and Bob Dylan, which were a big influence on him.
After attending King Edward IV Community College and Torquay Boys' Grammar School and then a short stint studying Journalism at University College Falmouth, Cornwall, Ben decided to focus on making music full time, making melodic rootsy folk music, with progressively darker lyrics. He began to build up a reputation not just around Devon, but elsewhere in the UK as well. After a month of sold out dates across Europe and the UK Howard was eventually asked to sign to Island Records.
Because of the label's history of UK folk singers, including Nick Drake and John Martyn, Ben decided to sign. With singles "Old Pine", and "The Wolves" released already in 2011, he has recorded an album entitled Every Kingdom for the label, which was released on 6 October, 2011.
In 2012 Ben will launch his music in America with 'Every Kingdom' finding a release on April 3rd, with appearances at SXSW in Texas and a US tour already confirmed.[4]
His song 'Promise' was featured at the end of S08E12 of the T.V show House
Ben Howard is confirmed to play at the 2012 Bonnaroo Music Festival in Manchester, Tennessee. [5].He has also been confirmed to be performing at this years T in the park music festival in Perth & Kinross shire Scotland.

Artist Bio:Øye and Bøe were both born in 1975 (Øye on November 21 and Bøe on October 25) and have known each other since they met in the same class at school. Their first musical collaboration was a comedic rap about a teacher.[1] At sixteen, they played together in the band Skog ("forest") with two other friends, releasing one EP, Tom Tids Tale, before breaking up and later forming the Kings duo.
The duo were signed to the American label Kindercore after appearing in European festivals during the summer of 1999. After a spell living in London in 2001, they released their debut album Quiet Is the New Loud. The album was produced by Coldplay producer Ken Nelson. The album was very successful and even lent its name to a small movement of musicians in the pop underground (including acoustic contemporaries such as Turin Brakes) which took Elliott Smith, Belle & Sebastian and Simon & Garfunkel as their inspiration and focused on more subtle melodies and messages.
Versus, an album of remixes of tracks from Quiet Is the New Loud, came out shortly after. After this breakthrough year, not much was heard from the band. Øye spent the next few years living in Berlin and doing solo material, releasing music under the DJ Kicks series as well as a solo album titledUnrest. He also has a side project named The Whitest Boy Alive.
It was not until 2004 that the Kings' follow-up Riot on an Empty Street was released. The video made for "I'd Rather Dance With You," the second single from the album, topped MTV's European list as the best music video of 2004. The album also featured contributions by Feist.
The band had a period of inactivity, which led to speculations that they had stopped working together. On March 7, 2007 however, the duo played a one-off concert in Mexico City. There was also a concert scheduled for March 6, but it had to be cancelled, because Øye had a problem with "Montezuma's Revenge" and was not feeling well. They played two concerts on March 7 and announced they were going to start work on their new album in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. In January 2008 the band played concerts in the Northern Norwegian cities of Tromsø, Svolvær and Bodø, and Swedish cityUmeå along with a concert in August in Stockholm.
Most recently, the band toured North America, Latin America and Europe, including stops in Boston, New York, Toronto, Detroit; Latin American stops in Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, Brazil and Chile. European stops include Italy, Switzerland and Spain. On some of their American tour stops they appeared with the band Franklin for Short who joined them on stage for a few rousing numbers.
The third album, called Declaration of Dependence, was released on October 20, 2009.[2]
Impressions: I love the laid back style these guys have. Just like they were jamming and enjoying every moment of it.
Click the Header to hear "Barton Hollow"
Artist Bio:In some ways, music doesn't get much more modest or minimalist than it is in the hands of The Civil Wars, a duo comprised of California-to-Nashville transplant Joy Williams and her Alabaman partner, John Paul White. They travel without a backup band, and on their first full-length album, Barton Hollow, the bare-bones live arrangements that fans hear on the road are fleshed out with just the barest of acoustic accoutrements. Each song is an intimate conversation, and no third wheels or dinner-party chatter are going to interrupt that gorgeous, haunting hush. On the other hand, there's been something distinctly loud about the duo's introduction to the world, even prior to the album's release. Their signature song "Poison & Wine" was heard on Grey's Anatomy—in the foreground, in its entirety, over a key climactic montage, prompting hundreds of thousands of viewers to Google the mystery music. And they got a wholly unsolicited endorsement when America's biggest pop star gave The Civil Wars a seal of approval. After first tweeting her love for the duo, fellow Nashvillian Taylor Swift included "Poison & Wine" as a selection in her official iTunes playlist, saying, "I think this is my favorite duet. It's exquisite." Swift took the words right out of the folk-country-Americana world's mouth. If it looks like The Civil Wars' appeal might cast a net that extends well beyond the typical audience for acoustically based music, that may be due to the inherent sensibilities Williams and White bring to their collaboration, which are quite disparate, if not necessarily warring. Both were gigging and recording on their own prior to teaming up a year and a half ago, neither solo career quite suggesting what their conjoined sound would turn out to be. "I do naturally bend pop," says Williams, who adds that she "grew up on Billie Holliday and The Beach Boys." White, meanwhile, was raised on Kristofferson, Cash, and Townes Van Zandt by his retro-country-favoring dad. "Somehow we're pulling from each other what we crave and what our strengths are," he says. If the music ultimately leans more toward White's native South than Williams' northern Cali roots, he says, "I think Joy's got some hillbillies in her ancestry or something like that. There's a song on our record called 'My Father's Father' that we wrote on the day of the inauguration down in Muscle Shoals, not long after we got together. I started playing the guitar figure and she starting singing this amazing Appalachian kind of melody, and I'm like, 'Don't even pretend that you're the pop girl and you come out with shit like that!' I don't know where this stuff is coming from, but she's drawing it from somewhere, and it's amazing." "Poison & Wine" isn't just The Civil Wars' breakout song. It's also a thematic declara-tion of intent for this utterly complementary odd couple, encapsulating everything suggested in the duo's name when it comes to exploring the conflicts that arise as part of couplehood. Speaking of which: They aren't, that—a couple, that is. But they're far from insulted if you mistake them for An Item in the storied tradition of the Swell Season, Richard and Linda Thompson, or other famous duos whose on-again, off-again relationships offstage complicated their stage relations. "A lot of people think that we're married, and I think that's actually quite flattering, to be honest," says White. "Because we don't want people to think that we're up here acting and feigning the emotions that we write and sing about and show on stage. But one of the things that really make this special in our eyes is that if she and I were in a relationship together, it'd be a totally different act. We would write totally different songs. I don't think we would be able to go on stage every night and sing 'I don't love you.' I don't think a healthy relationship could withstand that every single night. There's areas we can delve into that wouldn't make sense for somebody that's till-death-do-us-part. I think there's also a tension there that wouldn't be there if it was something that was just rote, something that was an everyday relationship. We try to use that to our advantage." "Poison & Wine" fits the paradigm of subject matter too true to be spoken, as opposed to sung. "That song probably does sum us up—The Civil Wars, the name of the band—as well as any song that we've written," White says. It's the one song on the album written with an outside collaborator, their friend Chris Lindsey. "We're all married, and we were all talking about the good, the bad and the ugly, and just felt like: What would you say to someone if you were actually brutally honest—the things that you could never say because it would turn them away or let the cat out of the bag or reveal yourself to be weaker? What would you actually say if you had this invisible curtain around you and could just scream it in somebody's face and they'd actually never hear it? We were all being very painfully honest, because we're all very comfortable around each other and know that things like that never leave the room, except in a song. I'm pretty proud of that song, to be honest." When "Poison & Wine" was heard in its entirety on Grey's Anatomy—versus in the background, for a few seconds, as Williams and White had expected—they knew that if the show's audience liked what they heard, it would put their search skills to the test. The title only pops up in a verse, not the chorus, so it involved some ingenuity or intuition to track the tune down. Fortunately, viewers proved up to the test of finding, and choosing, their "Poison." At last count, the song's official YouTube video had been viewed 400,000 times. White and Williams met in 2008 on what he describes as a "blind date, getting stuck in a room together, not knowing anything about each other." This was a strictly professional blind date. As Williams recalls, "I got a call for what's called a writing camp, where several writers were called together to work on trying to write several radio singles for a particular country band. Though I live in Nashville, I worked mostly in L.A. and came more out of the pop world, so I was like, why did they call me? John Paul definitely wasn't bringing a Music Row sensibility in when he was coming into the write, either, but neither of us knew that about each other. In that room, it was almost 20 writers, basically drawing straws and getting to know each other a little bit. And when he started singing, I somehow knew where he was heading musically and could follow him, without ever having met him before. And that had never happened to me." "I've done lots of co-writes and collaborative situations, but I'd never felt that weird spark," agrees White—"that weird familiarity like we'd been in a family band or some-thing most of our lives. The beautiful part of it was that neither one of us would let on, so we both played it cool for a while, saying 'That went well, we should write another," and so on. I worked up enough nerve to—so to speak—ask her out. But there was a lot of scuffing my heel on the floor and 'I don't know what you're doing for a while, but I've got this guitar, and you sing pretty good, but you probably don't want to. You're so much better than I am. Never mind. I'm just gonna go.' Luckily she felt the same way." Months later, they did their first show as The Civil Wars at the French Quarter Café in Nashville—where their future producer, Charlie Peacock, was in attendance and definitely taking notice. Their second show was at a club called Eddie's Attic in Decatur, Georgia, and it was attended by roughly 100,000 fans. At least, that's how many people have downloaded Live at Eddie's Attic, a free digital album, from their website. The set included eight originals plus a cover of Leonard Cohen's "Dance Me to the End of Love." "We didn't even rehearse that much for that show, and we were flying by the seat of our pants," recalls White. "But the sound guy at Eddie's is legendary for doing really great board takes, and we listened to the tape on the way home and were pretty amazed at the quality of the recording. So we thought, 'What the hell, let's see what other people think about it.' The beauty of putting that thing out as early as we did is, we could always fall back on: 'Well, it was our second show'," he laughs. "Looking back, John Paul and I can't believe we put out our second show ever," Williams says. "Hopefully you can hear the growth from then to now. But I'm really glad that we did. To get emails now like 'A buddy of mine in South Africa just sent me Live at Eddie's Attic,' or somebody coming up to us and saying 'Yeah, my friend in New Zealand was the one that told me about you guys'—in Alabama, where we were doing a relatively local show—that really took us by surprise, the way it started a conversation nationally and internationally." The Live at Eddie's Attic release also had some other happy, unintended consequences. Williams feels that the loose chatter between songs helped establish that, as personalities, the two of them aren't always (or even usually) as somber as their breakout song might suggest. More importantly, it established them as a fully functional duo that might be harmed more than helped by the addition of a slew of hired hands. When it comes to keeping "the band" to an un-band-like two people, "there's probably 10 different reasons for that," explains White. "Some of it is logistics. It's so much easier for two people to get into a car. But it just felt like releasing that record with just the two of us also put that stripped down, more organic, more raw kind of sound in people's minds. And we felt like it was more emotional and told the story a lot better. It's just she and I and a guitar and piano. If there's something that is lacking, it's gonna be painfully obvious. So the song's guts have to be strong, at least for us, from front to back." No frills means no distractions from the quality of their blended voices. "It's the strangest thing when I sing with her," White says. "Even the things we do with vibrato, typically, they're the same—we speed up and slow down at the same pace. She'll ad-lib something live, and the next time around, I'll sing the harmony to it. But if I sat and thought about it, I couldn't do it." For Williams, who's sold hundreds of thousands of records recording on her own, sharing the vocals is "one of my favorite things about The Civil Wars, because when you're a solo artist, you can't harmonize while singing the lead. To me, all harmony is active listening." There's something circuitously satisfying about the fact that "active listening" is taking place on-stage at The Civil Wars shows as well as among the audience, heightening the sensation that it's a conversation being eavesdropped on, not just a performance. So much synchronization to go around… but also so much delicious tension, as the duo hardly shy away from the conflict that gives them their moniker. Harmonious discord, thy name is The Civil Wars. White and Williams are never going to forge a complete meeting of the minds. "You'll be a redneck once I'm through with you," he tells her, teasingly. "Oh, just try!" she taunts him. Still a northern California girl after this many years in Nashville, she says, "I still can't say 'y'all.' I still can't say 'fixin' to.' John Paul, you say 'might could' a lot, which freaks me out. But yeah, somewhere in there, if it's only in the melodies, I'm happy to absorb all that." And to dish it back out in the form of universal narratives that are both elliptical and emotional. "After all the writing I've done for other artists or writing for TV/film or solo music," says Williams, "the ability for John Paul and I to share stories of what's happened in our lives, either current or past, and let those inform the way that we write intrinsically makes us care more about it. We've got songs that deal directly with loss that we've had in our own pasts. The opening song, 'Twenty Years,' is actually about a family secret, more on my side of the family. We love to write about these things and hint at it while not giving the whole thing away. If the stories that we're singing about and the things that we're speaking of are true, hopefully they'll draw out the stories of the people who are listening, and that can create some invisible cycle of safety and exhilaration and freedom, and of being transported somewhere else for a little moment in time." Somewhere like… Barton Hollow? Where is the titular location, anyway? "I guess it's something to do with the picturesque quality of the phrase," admits White. "It's a phrase that you're not gonna Google and find, whatsoever. I found that out the other day. There is no Barton Hollow, that I can find." But a few minutes later, he's changed his tune, de-claring: "Barton Hollow is actually a place that I grew up. It's a little geographic place close to where I grew up and did a lot of illicit activities," White continues, embellishing as he goes, while his partner dissolves into helpless laughter. "I have a soft spot for that place." Maybe the transporting Williams talks about has worked its magic on her partner, too. ~ Chris Willman
Impressions: The civil wars immediately reminded me of the swell season. Their tight harmonies and soulful lyrics struck me to the core. Once I picked up Barton Hollow, I couldn't put it down.

Artist Bio:In late summer 2009 singer-songwriter Tim Ellis had a new batch of songs he had recently written. Tim, having fronted various bands during the past ten years was keen to start something new. He just needed a guitar player and percussionist for his new acoustic direction. Once the band was formed they began work at Tim's studio at once. Throughout the recording process the band had been posting songs online, but it wasn't until the album was finished that they really noticed the impact the songs seemed to be having. To maximize this impact the band decided that their songs should be downloaded for free and they filmed a video to accompany the album's single 'Miss Emily'. Within 6 months, 'Where Lovers Die' had been downloaded over 10,000 times and all CD copies had sold out!

Artist Wiki Bio: Raymond Charles "Ray" LaMontagne (pronounced ) (born June 18, 1974) is an American singer-songwriter who lives on a farm in Maine with his wife and two sons. Reportedly, after hearing a Stephen Stills song, LaMontagne decided to quit his job at a shoe factory and pursue a career in music. He has since released three albums, Trouble, Till the Sun Turns Black and Gossip in the Grain. In the UK,Trouble was a top 5 hit, and the title track of the album was a top 25 hit. Till the Sun Turns Black was a top 40 hit in the U.S. A soft-spoken person who is known for his raspy voice, LaMontagne has won a number of awards for his music and has performed at several charity events.
Impressions: This man has a very unique grit to his voice but from gossip in the grain to "Till the Sun Turns Black" he strikes a chord of truth with each song.

Hattiesburg native Jesse L. Brown, the first African American Navy pilot, was killed in a fatal crash in 1950 in North Korea. His wingman, Massachusetts native Thomas Hudner, made an emergency landing in an unsuccessful attempt to save him.
In 1950, Hudner promised he would return to help. Now in 2013, he is fulfilling that promise.
Hudner landed in Pyongyang, North Korea on Saturday. He will travel this week to the site where Brown's plane crashed.
"It's a very good thing," says Brown's widow Daisy Brown-Thorne of Hudner's return. "This will perhaps give him some closure as to what happened back then. He's a person who I think when he makes a promise, he likes to keep it."
Brown-Thorne says her late husband always knew he wanted to be a pilot.
"He never said what plane he wanted to fly, he just wanted to fly a plane."
Brown graduated from Ohio State University in 1947, which was something that his widow says was a dream come true given the racial turmoil at that time. Upon graduation, he entered the Navy and began his service, until two short years late, he was killed in combat.
Hudner, who turns 89 next month, is traveling this week back to the Jangjin Reservoir where Brown's plane crashed. This is also the site that was one of the Korean War's deadliest battles for Americans.
Hudner is accompanied by soldiers of the Korean People's Army. The plan is to excavate the crash site, which is a sealed site controlled by the North Korean military. It is unknown whether or not remains of Brown or the planes will be found.
Brown-Thorne hopes to have a memorial service at Arlington National Cemetery if the search is successful for her late husband.
Brown was honored posthumously with the Purple Heart and the Distinguished Flying Cross. Hudner was awarded the Medal of Honor, the United States military's highest award, for his services to Brown.

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - For many stores, Black Friday will stretch backward into Thanksgiving Night.
And Madison College business and marketing instructor Betty Hurd says one reason is the latest hiccups in the economy. She says that three-fourths of shoppers will use cash and debit cards – so when the money's gone, it's gone.
As a result, Hurd says retailers are offering more deals at earlier hours, with the goal of getting first dibs on customers, for a much-needed boost in their business.
Also, Hurd believes stores will offer more bargains to attract shoppers on Saturday and Sunday – which normally aren't as busy.
A number of store employees have cried foul about having to work on Thanksgiving, and some people agree. Still, Hurd says it can be argued that shopping provides good family togetherness.
Some stores still believe it can wait until Friday. A number of TV viewers saw an ad during Sunday's Packer game in which Mills Fleet Farm emphatically made the point that it would be closed on Thanksgiving – and that it's important for employees to be with their families on that day.

Colorectal Cancer Trials Support Gene Testing for Two Drugs
A trio of new studies adds to the growing evidence that patients with colorectal cancer should have their tumors tested for genetic mutations prior to starting therapy with cetuximab (Erbitux) or panitumumab (Vectibix). Tumors with certain mutations are unlikely to respond to the drugs, and these patients should be spared the expense and side effects of the medications, the findings suggest.
Cetuximab and panitumumab are monoclonal antibodies that inhibit the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), which plays a role in multiple cancers.
The first new study was a retrospective analysis of the only cetuximab trial to show a survival benefit for patients with advanced colorectal cancer. In the CO.17 trial, the benefits of cetuximab were limited to patients whose tumors carried normal, or unmutated, forms of the KRAS gene.
As the researchers reported last year, the cetuximab group lived, on average, 6 weeks longer than those who received supportive care. But only some patients benefited, and to understand why, the researchers went back and analyzed tumor samples from 394 of the 572 participants.
Some clear patterns emerged: Among patients with normal KRAS genes, survival was nearly double for the cetuximab group compared to the supportive care group (9.5 months versus 4.8 months). The progression-free interval was also superior in the group of patients treated with cetuximab, 3.7 months versus 1.9 months.
Among patients with mutated KRAS genes, however, there was essentially no difference in survival between the two treatment groups, the researchers reported in the October 23 New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM). KRAS mutations were present in 42 percent of the tumors.
"These results represent an exciting transition in the treatment of cancer," said co-author Dr. Derek Jonker of the University of Ottawa. "Whereas in the past - and specifically in the CO.17 trial - we treated a large number of people and had a small effect, we now begin to have the ability to identify the patients who are most likely to benefit and then tailor treatment based on the unique genetic makeup of each person's cancer."
The research to date leads to the "reasonable conclusion" that all patients with advanced colorectal cancer who are being considered for anti-EGFR therapy should undergo KRAS testing, according to an accompanying editorial.
The clinical results are consistent with preclinical research on EGFR in colorectal tumors. The protein sits on the cell surface and controls a number of signaling pathways involved in cell growth. KRAS mutations can constitutively activate signaling pathways (for example, MAPK) normally controlled by EGFR. The researchers believe that because this activation occurs "downstream" of EGFR, drugs that inhibit the receptor will not affect the abnormal signaling.
Mutations in other genes, such as BRAF, may also impair the effectiveness of anti-EGFR therapy, the editorial notes. About 15 percent of colorectal cancers have disease-related mutations in the BRAF gene, which is part of the MAPK pathway.
A day after the NEJM study appeared, Italian researchers shared the results of another trial that showed that metastatic colorectal tumors with BRAF mutations did not respond to cetuximab or panitumumab. None of the patients with the mutations responded to these drugs, whereas all of the responders had normal BRAF genes.
The study included 113 patients, and KRAS mutations accounted for 30 percent of the non-responsive cases. BRAF mutations explained another 14 percent, leaving more than half of the nonresponsive cases unexplained.
Additional molecular markers will be needed to better define patients who are unlikely to benefit from EGFR-targeted treatment, said Dr. Federica Di Nicolantonio of University of Turin. She presented the results at the 20th EORTC-NCI-AACR Symposium on Molecular Targets and Cancer Therapeutics in Geneva, Switzerland.
A third new study looked at the KRAS status of 715 patients in four panitumumab trials. None of the patients whose tumors had mutated KRAS genes responded to panitumumab (defined as tumor shrinkage or no tumor growth), compared with almost 14 percent of those with normal KRAS genes who did respond. Dr. Daniel Freeman of Amgen, Inc., the manufacturer of panitumumab, presented the results last week at the second EORTC-NCI-ASCO Annual Meeting on Molecular Markers in Cancer in Hollywood, FL.
During a press briefing, Dr. Bruce Johnson, director of thoracic oncology at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, said that the results were timely, important, and "quite

Earth Therapeutics - Genuine Bristle Natural Body Brush
Genuine Bristle Natural Body Brush has a long wooden handle which makes it easy to clean those hard-to-reach places. Natural bristles provide just the right degree of friction for a thorough, invigorating scrub. Leaves skin soft and healthy looking.
Regular scrubbing is important because it unclogs pores - allowing skin to release toxins trapped inside the body. A plush matting of natural bristles gently exfoliates and stirs up circulation, while the long-reach handle gives you a helping hand to get at those hard-to-reach places.
About Earth TherapeuticsEarth Therapeutics would like to thank you for supporting them through the years. Your enthusiasm and encouragement have nurtured their growth, and they're committed more than ever to putting out the best quality natural products.
To Earth Therapeutics, "best" doesn't mean expensive. Their items are reasonably priced so that everyone can enjoy the fun, innovative, "feel good" products they have to offer. They use organic natural ingredients whenever possible. And they consistently do a "reality check" to make sure that the quest for profits does not obscure their long-term vision of promoting human and environmental well-being. Earth Therapeutics believes that ultimately, their business success must depend on how closely they adhere to the Common Good.
So in the end, they strive to make Earth Therapeutics "therapeutic" for the Earth as well as for the human beings who live on this planet. This is a simple (and some say "simple minded") philosophy. But it is one that has held them in good stead. And judging from the exciting growth they've been experiencing in recent years, it is one which they feel will keep them headed in the right direction.
In the meantime, Earth Therapeutics will be working hard to come out with more excellent quality products. They encourage you to let them know what you'd like to see from them in the future. Again, Earth Therapeutics extends a heart-felt "thank you" for your support and look forward to hearing from you.
Enjoy in Good Health!

CASCO, WI (WTAQ) - This Memorial Day weekend, one local family is reflecting on its own loss.
"It puts us on a list that most people don't want to be on. The list of honoring your own. But, it's something Dean wanted to do. He wanted to join the service, he wanted to serve his country, and he did the almighty service, he lost his life doing it," David Opicka, standing in front of a framed picture of his son, tells FOX 11. "As the saying goes, freedom was never free."
David Opicka's son, Lance Corporal Dean Opicka, was killed in Iraq. The vehicle the Marine was driving hit a land mine.
"With what, 100,000 troops there, you know you say what are the odds that it's going to be your son or daughter, that the Marines are going to be at your door, because there are so many there. But you do know that when you look out the door and the Marines were there, we knew it was not for a good thing," his father recalled.
"It's difficult to realize that your son is here," said his mother, Donna, told FOX 11 at his grave site.
Now instead of just a barbecue, Memorial Day will focus on a trip to the cemetery where Opicka is buried, less than a mile from the family's Casco home.
This year marks five years since Lance Corporal Dean Opicka was killed in action. He was actually the third Marine from Luxembourg-Casco area to die in Iraq. And with this 10th anniversary of that conflict beginning, families say they will never forget the service their sons gave.
"The large flag in the middle is the one that covered his coffin," Opicka's mother pointed out.
Pictures, mementos and flags cover the Opicka's living room wall.
A memorial in their backyard proudly displays an American flag, and statue of a Marine: The same statue that guards Opicka's grave.
As a family with a long military tradition, the Opickas say they remain like this motto: Always faithful, committed to keeping their son's memory alive.
The Opicka family gives high school scholarships each year in honor of their son. A softball tournament fundraiser is set for next weekend in Casco.

University of Strathclyde/Scottish friends
I just got an email saying my uni here in the States has nominated me to come to Strathclyde! Now I just have to apply to Strathclyde, and then I will be in.
I am hoping to live on campus, but the application says that most non-European students live in Birkbeck Court. Does anyone have information about the flats in that accommodation? I have read the information from the website, but I want to know your personal experiences, both positive and negative! I would rather have my own room with an en-suite bathroom, but what do you guys have to say about Birkbeck?

indoctrination, I noticed something interesting.
So an interesting coincidence came across me today
i was reading a Noam Chomsky article where he talks about how Adam Smiths philosophy has been butchered by the Chicago school of economics.
There are similarities between Karl Marx and Adam Smith between their philosophy on the division of labor. This seems to have been forgotten
Adam Smiths thoughts
page 4 2b) Karl Marx's thoughts
I just found it interesting that in this talk, Dan Ariely didn't notice that Adam Smith also had similar meaning to Karl Marx.
To me this sort of shows how massive the level of indoctrination and twisting of history has twisted today's society. It's even affected our intellectuals.
What are your thoughts?

Mitch SMith 100+Apr 12 2013: Hi Douglas,
Many thanks for the links - the assembly is worth looking at.
My thoughts are that the division of labour is an extension of the natural fall into specialisation required by social organisms.
For it to be properly balanced - and so not to overstep its role, one must first understand the purpose of it.
To comprehend this, I have had to form a framework by which a distinction can be made between the individual and the emergent social entity that individuals give rise to.
This framework is based on the notion of perception. An individual alone has a field of perception tied to the field of senses - perception forms a distillation of sense data into information relevant to the well being of the creature.
By this process, even though the active perception is narrowed to the "informatum" at hand, the potential perception can exceed the field of senses - this has the affect of widening the field of perception beyond the field of senses.
For an individual, I call this enlarged potential perception "the primary field of perception".
When an organism become a social organism, the primary fields of potential perception are summed through the device of communication - this gives rise to the secondary field of potential perception.
Any increase of the field of potential perception leads to an expansion of the field of potential agency - if you know more, you can do more. This is remarked as "freedom" - but is not understood outside of this framework and becomes a meaningless utterance - a tribal totem.
The balance point then becomes identified at the moment the division of labour disappears from the primary field of perception. In other words, if the task is meaningless to the worker, he is deprived of the secondary field of perception and no longer adds value to the emergent entity of his own community.
Does that make sense?
Comment deleted
Apr 18 2013: Many thanks John.
The dichotomy of positive/negative potential agency can also be cast over the self/other axis to form a measure of "morality". But in the end, the bell curve must resolve to the bias of the self - it is the self, after all, who approves or disapproves past agency - on the basis of the current field of potential agency - which in turn forms the history judged by future selves. Measurement is a retrospective activity.
Truth being the absolute energy state and the absolute causality is not available to the senses - the senses are limited to bandwidth dictated by the specific interests of the self plus a margin at the service of adaptive range. Perception extends this by the application of causality relative to self-persistence.
Darwin suggests that there is more than one self at work in these dynamics (the genome as a self), but the point(vector?) of agency defines the membrane of that self.
Here is where we can measure the beneficiary of specialisation.
Agency is key - who or what do you work for defines the entity which precipitates the agency.
Indeed, I spent a good deal of time helping corporate entities design their human machinery.
But inherent specialisation also exists - some are biologically defined .. the tribe functions because all the critical tasks are covered by virtue of age and sex. Beyond the tribe, we experiment with artifice .. but these are all tainted by the interest of the individual - which will bias the advantage.
I don't believe in laziness .. there is a better word - comfort. Understanding the mechanics of comfort will go a long way to understanding which side of the positive/negative an agency resides.
Indoctrination/propaganda/advertising/coercion is a symptom of artifice. Artifice is a symptom of biased interests. I would argue that the bias becomes less than the tribe when a tribe exceeds the biological limit to the field of secondary perception it generates. This is defined by brain capacity.
Apr 18 2013: addendum:
The field of senses is also critical - such things as measuring instruments expand our non-artificial horizon. But the critical test of any such extension of senses is "real-time".
There are a bunch of idiots out there who prattle on about the "singularity" . none of them recognise the real-time limit to artificial senses.
Instead, they create new entities - new selves .. new mouths to feed .. in short - parasites.
The singularity then becomes dependent on the quantity of blood we can spare.
This is very heartening - the parasites will replace war as the cull mechanism that draws all species back to their biological self-limit - they die with their host.
A good thing I think - no less death .. just less blame. In the ultimate long term test of morality - blame has no place.

B-teams end season on winning notes
Both Blaine varsity basketball teams had big wins last week to finish the regular season. While the girls showed what they're capable of doing as they stunned Mt. Baker by 25 points last Thursday, the boys nipped the Mounties by two, 58-56, with just two ticks left on the clock as Mike Pianki scored five points in the closing seconds to tie and then win the game.
flower finally blooms
The Lady B's were at home for their season finale to face a Mt. Baker team that had beaten them twice last month by a combined 51 points. Blaine's potential has come across in occasional spurts of aggressive and fast play but remained hidden during a 10 game losing streak that eliminated them from post-season play. Seven of the season losses were by nine points or less, indicating that with focus and motivation they could beat anyone, and occasionally they did, burning Meridian by 17 last month.
For this last game of their careers head coach Rob Adams elected to start his five seniors, guard Jaclyn McDonald and posts Chelsea Crews, Kara Stull, Aizia Lawson and Krissie Freeman. He hadn't said much to his team before the game, he said later, just that Mt. Baker would once more try to intimidate them physically as they had in the past, and the only way to go out with a win was, "to take it to them, go after it," Adams said.
did they ever, right from the opening tip. Baker got
the ball but Blaine forced a turnover, and when Crews
attacked on the ensuing possession to score they were
on their way, leading the whole game.
Blaine shut down Baker with a hustling defense that lasted the whole game. Baker coaches had no answer for this, and despite whistle after whistle they stuck with their typically rough style of play. Blaine took advantage with hot 70 percent shooting from the free-throw line that earned 35 points to go along with 32 (16 for 35 for 50 percent) from the floor compared to Baker's 44 percent from the line and a truly pathetic 19 percent (12 of 63) from the floor due to the Baker coaches stubbornly running an offensive plan that was about as effective as shooting spitwads at a tank. Blaine led by seven at the end of the first quarter and by 11 at both the half and at the end of the third quarter.
Lady B's shining
moment came when they finished the job, completely blowing
out their opponents with a 24-8 fourth quarter. Baker was
left literally crying on their bench as some of their fans
screamed for the referee's
heads, requiring the Blaine police to escort the
refs to their cars after quieting things down in the gym.
Nine Blaine players shared in the points, topped by Alyssa Hendrickson's 28. "She just took over," Adams said, happy with the way the seniors played to their potential and for the enthusiasm this created for those returning next year. This year's team began with only Hendrickson having any significant varsity experience, but next year seven will return, including all five starters. It should be a good year.
upsets Baker's stomach
Blaine's victory in Deming Friday night assured them of third place in the league and a post-season berth in the district playoffs on Tuesday of this week at Lakeside.
Though Blaine trailed early with Baker guards Derek Compton and Brandon Welch getting some long bombs to drop, eight Blaine players shared in a balanced attack aided by Blaine's depth off the bench. They helped put together an 18-8 run in the second quarter with Joe Paciorek, Ryan Goodwin and Mike Pianki all sitting down for one brief stretch. Even Baker coach Rob Gray helped out with a technical foul that Goodwin calmly converted into another point for the Borderites.
Ryan Schockey's relentlessly frenetic defense kept Welch down to single digit scoring, and Blaine's press did the rest, getting a tired and overwhelmed Welch to foul out toward the end of the game. Senior reserve guard Mike Starkovich played three solid quarters, scoring three points and helping to ice Baker's slippery Richie Elm-Hill.
Baker's defense keyed to Joe Paciorek, normally a double-double producer who still came away with seven boards and four points. His best moment came in the third quarter when he refused to be baited by a badly missed call from a belligerent ref and just walked away. That sterling bit of leadership as much as anything sealed Blaine's poise for the rest of the second half, leading to the win. Here's how.
Baker pulled ahead in the closing minutes of the fourth quarter as the teams exchanged fast-break layups, and with 2:16 left Baker led by one, 52-51. Paciorek scored a lay-up but was called for traveling, and though the call was again at least questionable and could have helped seal a Mountaineer victory, he once again handed the ball to the ref as politely as an altar boy, once again calming the rest of the team.
Baker scored on their next two possessions and with just over a minute the score stood at 56-51. Goodwin scored a layup and on the next trip down court Mike "Pancake" Pianki scored a key trey from the left front corner to tie it at 56. Baker took possession but Pete Galbraith blew a layup with 30 seconds left. The rebound came away to Blaine who called time out.
Blaine put the ball in play at midcourt with 24 seconds left and almost lost it twice, eventually getting it to Pianki who circled around from the left side of the paint into the lane and threw up a ten-foot runner that bounced high in the air off the back of the hoop before rattling down through the middle of the basket with just 2 seconds left. The ball bounced directly into Galbraith's hands as he circled behind the basket but time had run out, and as he threw the ball down in frustration the entire Blaine team ran out onto the court to pound their happy congratulations on Pianki's back.
Pianki, Goodwin and Tewalt together accounted for 32 of Blaine's points, including Goodwin's sure-handed six for seven (86 percent) at the freethrow line. Though Blaine began slowly, the team as a whole sank 18 of 30 attempts from two point range (60 percent), 16 of 25 (64 percent) from the free throw line and two of six treys.
the win Blaine finishes the season playing
.500 ball, 10 and 10 over all and
5-7 in league play for third place
ahead of Meridian and the hapless
Mountaineers, whose season ended
with Pianki's heroics.
The double-elimination district tournament began Tuesday of this week at Lakewood for the Borderites and continues at Mount Vernon high school.

Reviews for Moist Lazy Daisy Cake
Sort By :
Carrie, thanks for sharing your family's recipe---it reminds me of my Gran, too!
My husband liked this cake, but I thought the topping was way too sweet. The cake was good, but not the topping. This cake might taste good with another topping such as fresh strawberries.
We loved this! I made it for a friend who doesn't like coconut, so I left the coconut off. Next time, if I do that, I'll put 1/2 to 1/3 of the frosting on the cake, as it was a little overpowering.
Also, next time I'm making a double batch, because this cake was eaten in record time!
My cousin gave me the best advice: use real butter and poke holes into the top of the cake before applying the icing. I took it a step further and used vanilla infused turbinado sugar in the cake. Delicious!!!
Really love this cake. There is another on the site with more ratings, but i compared them and they are virtually identical apart from being for different sized pans.

Slow Fish Nova Scotia
03 May 13
Lia Rinaldo, a film festival director by day, likes to explore and write about the food that surrounds her in Nova Scotia, Canada in her spare time. A member of the local Slow Food convivium, she attended the launch of Slow Fish Nova Scotia a couple of weeks ago. Following this, the Slow Food Canada National Conference announced last weekend that Slow Fish will soon become a national campaign.
This is her account of the inspiring day, originally posted at Se7en's a Banquet, 9ine's a Brawl.
Fish are the last great wild food.
They are part of a fragile ecosystem.
So are the fishing communities.
Change the way fish lands on your plate
Good lord. What an opener. I had the distinct pleasure recently of attending the official launch of Slow Fish Nova Scotia. It was a decadent 11-course seafood brunch (they posted it at 9, but the food kept coming, seriously) prepared by Chef Dennis Johnston and the team at Fid Resto.
This really is a good news story. In Nova Scotia we have had a lot of people working hard behind the scenes for some time to put fresh Nova Scotia seafood on our plates. Here. You'd think that it would be obvious, here we are surrounded by the Atlantic ocean, seafood feels plentiful, feels like it's all around us, but honestly most of what is caught here is heading somewhere else, and in most cases, is processed somewhere else. What the? But...
Cut to Dave Adler and the crews at both the Ecology Action Centre and Off the Hook CSF. People who have been working hard setting up personal relationships with the fishermen, divers, small scale fish plants and farmers who catch and grow seafood in Nova Scotia. From what I understand, Dave has been showing up right on the docks, endearing himself to the community and interrupting a high-level foreign food chain that has been happening forever. You have to admire initiative like that.
One of the things most people who have the good fortune to attend Slow Food International's Terra Madre conference in Turin will say, is that everyone eventually has their aha! moment. The moment where you are completely overwhelmed by the amount of information and people coming at you... and somehow, you are able to process it and invoke action locally. Dave was able to not only attend the event this October, but he became very involved with Slow Fish International. This is definitely Dave's moment and I'm going to follow it... Welcome Slow Fish Nova Scotia.
It was a wonderful afternoon, with a great cast of characters from Beau the rockstar fisherman and his adventures with halibut, to the singing clammer Terry Wilkins, to fellow engaging Slow Food Nova Scotia board member Peter Darnell from Indian Point Farms. Fun, funny, charming... they regaled us with both the good and the bad issues around their individual fisheries. I don't know about you, but I want to be told by people I trust what to do around seafood, where to get it, when to get it and what to try. It's that simple.
In terms of the food itself, Chef Dennis prepared a wonderful, fresh, thoughtful meal–perfectly proportioned–this was key given 11 courses.
There will be a number of upcoming events this year for Slow Fish Nova Scotia. In the meantime, you can follow their progress on Facebook.
Slow Fish is an international campaign coordinated by Slow Food International. From May 9 -12, the biennial Slow Fish event will be held in Genoa, Italy to bring together the network of sustainable fishers, chefs, fishmongers and experts and present their products, stories and lessons to the public.

The geeks who saved Usenet
Google's restoration of digital history relied on a few heroes' packrat mentality and a mountain of decaying mag tapes.By Katharine Mieszkowski
On May 11, 1981, one Mark Horton, then a graduate student at the University of California at Berkeley, using the e-mail address "ucbvax^mark," posted this message to the Usenet newsgroup Net.general:

Horton's message was a response to a previous post, the intact original of which is now lost to history, from one "sdcarl!rusty," aka Rusty Wright. With this incomplete fragment of a cryptic exchange, the history of Usenet, as we have it today, begins.
The message is the oldest Usenet posting in the 20-year archive, now searchable on Google. It's the first of some 700 million posts that provide a record spanning the early history to the present of Usenet — the sprawling public bulletin board, composed of a vast hierarchy of newsgroups, that grew up alongside the Internet itself.
Granted, this message doesn't exactly have the ever-quotable and historic ring of Alexander Graham Bell braying on the first telephone call, "Mr. Watson. Come here. I need you." But it's not the first Usenet message ever — it's just the first one captured in this vast, yet still incomplete, archive of Usenet's 35,000 topic categories. It's an ordinary exchange between two of the first few hundred denizens of Usenet posting back in 1981.
Still, if you squint, you can see glimmers of what's to follow in this poignant gem of a fragment. What are these geeks talking about, anyway? It's a meta-post about the system itself, of course! It's part of a technical discussion of how Usenet should be administered. And catch that corny play on words, goofing off Rusty's last name: "or is that 'Rusty is Wright'?"
Geeks talking amongst themselves on Usenet about how Usenet should best be run, while having fun with homonyms: Almost 20 years later, has anything really changed?

In mid-December 2001, Google unveiled its improved Usenet archives, which now go more than a decade deeper into the Net's past than did the millions of posts that the company salvaged from DejaNews. Now on a browser near you: a glimpse of the prehistory of the Net culture we all take for granted today. The first "me too" post! The first "Make-Money-Fast" post! It's enough to make even a relative newbie nostalgic for a past she never experienced firsthand.
The debut of the archive touched off a flurry of chatter among the geeks on Slashdot, some of whom had been there back in the day. There were some grumbles. Imagine what it's like to see your flames from 15 years ago, when Usenet still had the population of a small town, now searchable by anyone on the Web.
"Glad I've changed my e-mail address since those long, (best) forgotten days. It wasn't me, I swear," joked one poster to Slashdot. Another one griped: "It's like having naked baby pictures of yourself stapled to your forehead when you walk around." (Google vows that at the author's request, they'll delete old posts; so if you want to be the Internet equivalent of a rare-book burner, go right ahead.)
Google gets the credit for making these relics of the early Net accessible to anyone on the Web, bringing the early history of Usenet to all. Michael Schmidt, 29, a Google software engineer, spent the last year and a half playing detective, trying to track down the Internet's lost history: "It was a long and painful investigative process. I was searching on the Web, calling people. There were a lot of dead ends."
But it was the geeky pragmatism and historical foresight of Usenet old-timers themselves that actually saved the early history of the newsgroups so that we can all poke around in it today. These "archive donors," whom Google thanks here, gave their copies of the millions of messages they'd saved back to the Net.
The tale of how early Usenet was saved begins with one of the Net's great old-timers: Henry Spencer. "Henry Spencer is the real hero, because his contributions are what makes this historic," says Schmidt. "Back in the Stone Age of the Internet, he was already archiving this stuff, and he was the only one doing it."
Spencer, a legendary Unix hacker — a species not exactly known for humility — is pleasantly understated about his role as Usenet's great early archivist. He's the first to point out that he wasn't really the only one saving those early messages. But the copies he kept of Usenet postings from 1981 to 1991 appear to be the only ones that still exist. "There were several other people who were archiving stuff, but all of them gave up before we did, and as far as I know none of their archiving survived," he says. For instance, legend has it that two guys at Bell Labs kept back-ups as well, but their stores of these ultra-rare posts are nowhere to be found.
"I'm very glad the stuff is finally out there, and I can stop worrying about how the only copy might get lost," Spencer says, now that Google has assured the preservation of the more than 2 million old messages he saved. "I'm just glad that this particular great mass of data is no longer my worry."
One of the early adopters of the computer language C, Spencer is known for his Ten Commandments for C Programmers, as well as for being the coauthor of C News, one of the early programs for transferring and reading Usenet messages.
Now 46 years old, he works as an independent consultant, but back in 1981 he ran the computer facility at the University of Toronto's zoology department. While the geeks over in the university's computer science department were busy with the Arpanet, the Department of Defense's system was too expensive for the zoologists.
"The zoology department may sound like a funny place for pioneering networking work," says Spencer. "But the computer science department wasn't very interested in this inferior networking. It was very low-tech by their standards. But it worked and theirs didn't. Their opinion changed fast when we started providing e-mail."
That's how, in the spring of 1981, with a 300 baud modem, the zoology department at the University of Toronto became a central distribution point for Usenet, when the network was just 2 years old.
Traffic was almost unimaginably lighter in those days. Only about 200 people had access to Usenet: "In the first few years, it was at least plausible to come in in the morning and read all the Usenet traffic that had come in, and 15 minutes later be off doing something useful," remembers Spencer. But even that low level of traffic was too much for the storage requirements of the day. "Pretty soon, it was necessary to think about expiring old stuff," he says.
It wasn't a sense of historical importance that initially led Spencer to think about creating an archive. His motivation was much more pragmatic than that: Most of the conversations on Usenet at the time were very technical, and he was reluctant to see the information in them disappear, because it might be useful to the university's geeks: "A lot of the early traffic was about things like Unix systems bugs, and it seemed unwise to just throw it out."
So the archiving began with 40 megabytes filling up a new mag tape — each reel one-half inch thick and 10 inches in diameter — every few months. In this era, messages from the outside world came in at the tortoise rate of 300 baud. ("When we got a 1,200 baud auto-dialing modem, that was just wonderful. Twelve-hundred baud was just total luxury," Spencer recalls.) As Usenet grew, this meant that Spencer and his system administrators had to be selective about which newsgroups they received and archived, keeping technical conversations but throwing away some of the more general discussions that generated a lot of traffic.
"We started dumping stuff that we thought was obviously of no future use, groups that specialized in a lot of talk and no substance, so to speak. For example, fairly early on there was a newsgroup about abortion which specialized in violent arguments."
That's why not only the very earliest Usenet posts, before Spencer started archiving in 1981 (Usenet began in 1979) but even some of the posts in the 1980s are still lost. It's too bad; today, wouldn't more of us rather see what was being said about abortion in 1984 than sift through the arcana of bug fixes in systems that have probably been long since retired? "It was perfectly reasonable from the viewpoint of stuff that we might want to use again, but a little sad from today's viewpoint," Spencer admits.
For 10 years, the nine-track mag tapes piled up, hanging in a huge rack at the zoology department's computer facility. Finally, in the early '90s, with the growth of Usenet outpacing the zoology department's budget for $15-a-pop tapes, the general archiving project ended.
In the spring of 1991, Bruce Jones, then a grad student in the communications department at the University of California at San Diego, flew to Ontario at his own expense. He was writing his Ph.D. dissertation on the history of Usenet and was eager to get his hands on Spencer's tapes.
The 141 tapes, most of which held 120 megabytes of posts, now lived at the University of Western Ontario, thanks to a road trip in the middle of the Canadian winter that David Wiseman, the university's network administrator, had taken earlier that year to unburden the University of Toronto's zoology department of them.
Jones would spend the next two weeks rescuing the data off them. Not only was the tape technology rapidly becoming obsolete — just try to find a working tape-reader today — but the tapes themselves do not have anything like a 10-year shelf life.
By now the historical import of the tapes was already apparent. But spending two weeks running tapes through a tape-cleaning machine and dumping them on disks was the prerequisite to even looking at them. "Spencer had written a program for removing data from tapes when the tapes went bad," Jones explains. "I was just the first person who was willing to invest my time and money — a lot of people wanted to see what was on them." In two weeks, Jones got through the first 105 tapes.
"Usenet has always been about arguing about itself," Jones says of the posts that were unearthed. "And the arguments that you see today are the same arguments that go way back into the early '80s, and I'm sure that those arguments will continue well into the future."
Case in point: the fact that the older parts of the archive are now available on Google has given Usenet denizens something new to argue about. "I've already gotten three letters from people accusing me of trying to make money off these archives," Jones observes wryly. All the "archive donors" gave the posts to Google for posterity.
Over the next 10 years, Wiseman got through the remaining three dozen or so tapes by wangling the time and energies of "bored graduate students." But by 1995, constrained by university budgets, the archiving project was running out of disk space.
So, Brewster Kahle, the creator of the Web's other major archiving project, the Internet Archive Wayback Machine, chipped in, donating a then-humongous nine-gigabyte hard drive to the cause.
In the end, they pulled more than 2,056,000 posts off the 141 tapes. "It took us 10 years. I got so busy and everybody else got less interested," says Wiseman, almost sheepishly. More than 2 million posts: It doesn't sound like a lot compared to the 700 million total in Google's archive, but they're the oldest remnants.
Apparently someone is still interested. Wiseman used FTP to hand off the files to Google. And just after Google announced the availability of the archive, some rogue used FTP to grab the whole archive off the University of Western Ontario's FTP server — all three gigs of it transferring in one night. "I have no idea what they plan on using it for, since if it's spam e-mail the addresses are all wrong," says Wiseman. Now, anyone who wants a full copy will have to ask politely first — it's no longer on the server.
Google filled in the more recent posts not covered by the old DejaNews archive thanks to J|rgen Christoffel of the German National Research Center for Information Technology, who'd kept his own archives in the '90s, and Kent Landfield, a network security developer and the maintainer of FAQs.org.
Landfield started archiving with entrepreneurial motives. In 1992 and 1993, while at Sterling Software in Omaha, Neb., Landfield had a side project that sold CDs of the Usenet archive. For $349.95 a year, every month you could get a CD burned with the content of Usenet. It was an attempt to cater to the user with a slower modem who still wanted access to every newsgroup.
"I realized that there was definitely a valuable historical aspect to the CDs themselves," says Landfield. "The reality is, everybody thought that. We're all just a bunch of packrats. We all knew there was a value to it, and it was a matter of how and when it would be used."
Thanks to these packrats, Google now estimates that 95 percent of the posts ever made to Usenet are now searchable from the site. But Spencer, for one, can't help thinking of all that's still been lost — not just of the other 5 percent of Usenet, but also of the other early history of online communication.
Think of the Arpanet mailing lists that were the precursors to Usenet. Spencer points out that while most of the mailing lists kept archives, a significant number of them have been lost over time. "The first flame war, things like that, most certainly dates before Usenet," he says. "And I would bet that a lot of that material is gone, because at some point, nobody thought it was worth saving."

The Starbucks Coffeehouse has handled the hordes of Fast Food Nation, becoming its own cultural emblem of North American living. However, do not base its freshly brewed success on any gemstone of a coffee bean. The Starbucks name goes further back than the company's inception in 1971, perhaps so far that it may give a few people the caffeine jitters…
The company is said to have adopted the Starbucks name from a secondary character in the 1851 novel Moby Dick by Herman Melville. The character in the novel is described as a Quaker from Nantucket Island, the first mate aboard the ship Pequod. But, what Starbucks does not mention anywhere in their supposed history is that the name "Starbuck" was indeed a real and prominent family name on the very same island of Nantucket, Massachusetts.
