They introduce themselves politely in restaurants or diners, in a movie lobby or at some civic event, even in front of the Little Rock gate in Atlanta, which has become a kind of Arkansas crossroads. ("You don't know me, but . . .") Then they thank me for remembering Robert E. Lee every January 19th with a column on his birthday.
They don't tarry, and I may never see them again. Then they fade away, much like the Army of Northern Virginia (R.E. Lee, General). They have a look about them, or rather a manner. They come in different shapes and sizes, but they all have the same, diffident way about them -- as if they were used to dealing with people as persons, rather than en masse as customers or readers or voters or some other impersonal category. They know how to visit with others. It's a Southern thing, no matter where it happens.
Let's just say they have a shared understanding. They may be older, genteel white ladies or young military cadets. Sometimes they're aging black men, usually with roots in the Deep South, who mention that they had a grandfather or great-uncle named Robert E. Lee Johnson or Robert E. Lee Wilson, much like their white counterparts. Whatever the differences in their appearance, they share a distinctive quality that is never imposing but very much there.
Sometimes they'll let you know they don't make a habit of this sort of thing, that they're not interested in reliving the past or anything like that. They're the furthest thing from the bane of such discussions in these latitudes, the professional Southerner. ("I'm no Civil War buff or big Confederate or anything -- I do well to tell Gettysburg from Vicksburg -- but I just wanted to say . . .")
They're never intrusive. Indeed, they are concise almost to the point of being curt for Southerners, a voluble breed. It's clear they wish to make no display. It's as if they just wanted to . . . enroll. To go on record, that's all, and leave it at that. They know The War is over and, like Lee, they would let it be over.
The quality they have in common may be deference -- not only to others, and certainly not to the general himself, for deference would not in any way approach their feeling on that subject, but a deference to the human experience, with all its defeats and losses. Maybe that is why so many of them are middle-aged or older, as if they had encountered some defeats and losses of their own -- losses and defeats that can never be erased, that will always be a part of them, but that they carry almost with grace. The pain will always be there, but now it is covered by forbearance. They have learned that there are certain hurts that, in order to be overcome, must be gone through. Continually. Till it is part of their ongoing character.
The name for the kind of deference they exude, unmistakable for anything else, a deference to fact and to sacrifice, is maturity. They have discovered that duty is not only burden and obligation but deliverance. They would never claim to understand Lee, and they certainly would not presume to praise him overtly. They just want to indicate how they feel about the General, to let us know the bond is shared, and go on. For where Lee is concerned, there is a silence, a diffidence, that says more than words can. Or as Aristotle said of Plato, there are some men "whom it is blasphemy even to praise."
Ever hear a couple of Southerners just passing the time, perhaps in some petty political quarrel, for we can be a quarrelsome lot, when the name Lee is injected into the argument? The air is stilled. Suddenly both feel ashamed of themselves. For there are some names that shame rhetoric, and when we use them for effect, the cheapness of it, the tinniness of it, can be heard at once, like tinkling brass. And we fall silent, rightly rebuked by our better selves.
To invoke such a presence, to feel it like old music always new, invariably gives pause. The young officer in Stephen Vincent Benet's "John Brown's Body" pauses before he enters Lee's tent to deliver his dispatch. Looking at the shadow of the figure within bent over his papers, knowing that The War is inevitably winding down, the messenger can only wonder:
What keeps us going on? I wish I knew. Perhaps you see a man like that go on. And then you have to follow.
The Lost Cause still has its shrines and rituals, dogmas and debates. For four exhilarating, excruciating, terrible years, it had a flag of its own -- several, in fact -- and an army and even something of a government. But in the end all those proved only transient reflections of what endures: the South, the ever-fecund South.
What held that disparate, desperate concept called the South together, and holds it together still from generation to generation, from heartland to diaspora? After all our defeats and limitations, why do we yet endure, and, in Faulkner's words, even prevail? What keeps us going on? I wish I knew. Perhaps you see a man like that go on. And then you have to follow. If there is a single name, a single syllable for that shared bond and depth and grief and aspiration, it is: Lee.
. .
No brief outline of the general's career can explain the effect of that name still: After a shining start at West Point, our young officer spends 12 years of tedium on the Army treadmill, followed by brief renown in the Mexican War, then a two-year leave to attend to matters at home. Returning to the service to put down a fateful little insurrection at Harper's Ferry that cast a great shadow, he declines a field command in the U.S. Army as a far greater insurrection looms, one he will lead. He accepts command of the military of his native country -- Virginia. Then there comes a series of brilliant campaigns that defy all the odds, at the end of which he surrenders. Whereupon he applies for a pardon, becomes a teacher, and makes peace.
What is missing from such an abrupt summary of the general, his life and career, is everything -- everything inward that made the man Robert E. Lee. His wholeness. His integrity. His unbroken peace within. There was about him nothing abrupt but everything respectfully direct -- in his manners, in his leadership, in his life and, when he finally struck the tent, in his death.
Yes, he would fight what has been called the most nearly perfect battle executed by an American commander at Chancellorsville, defeating an army two and a half times the size of his own and better equipped in every respect.
Even in retreat, he remained victorious. One single, terrible tally may say it better than all the ornate speeches ever delivered on all the dim Confederate Memorial Days that have passed since: In one single, terrible month, from May 12th to June 12th of 1864, from after The Wilderness to Cold Harbor, Grant's casualties on the other side would total 60,000 -- the same size as Lee's whole, remaining Army of Northern Virginia, poor devils.
In the end, it is not the Lee of Chancellorsville or of Appomattox who speaks to us, who quiets and assures us. It is not even the Lee of Fredericksburg and his passionate dispassion atop Marye's Heights as he watches the trapped federals below, poor devils, being destroyed. He was no stranger to pity. ("It is well that war is so terrible," he murmured, looking down at the carnage he had engineered, "or we should grow too fond of it.")
It is not even the Lee of Gettysburg who speaks to us, the Lee who would meet Pickett after it was over -- all over -- and say only: "All this has been my fault." And then submit his resignation as commander of the Army of Northern Virginia. Jefferson Davis may not have had much sense, but he had more sense than to accept that resignation.
In the end, it is the Lee who saw through all victory as clearly as he did all defeat who elevates and releases us, like one of the old Greek plays. It is the Lee who, for all his legend, could not command events but who was always in command of his response to them. Just to think on him now is catharsis. That is why his undying presence, just the mention of his name, was enough to lift men's gaze and send them forth again and again. It still does.
And this description is largely spin.
Why did Davis' lawyers fight his indictment in the courts for four years if what he really wanted was to go to trial?
Okay — get lost.
Correct. His first command was in West Virginia and the confederates were pretty easily routed. Davis then sent Lee to build coastal defenses in Georgia and South Carolina. After that, he was assigned as a military aid to Jeff Davis and only after Joe Johnston was wounded at Seven Pines a full year into the war did Lee replace him as commander of the Army of Northern Virginia, a move that was criticized at the time by the Confederate press who called him "Granny Lee."
In Citizen Sherman, Michael Fellman describes how Shermans chief engineer, Captain O.M. Poe, advised that the bombing of Atlanta was of no military significance (the Confederates had already abandoned the city) and implored Sherman to stop the bombardment after viewing the carcasses of dead women and children in the streets. Sherman coldly told him the dead bodies were "a beautiful sight".
Union artillery, under Sherman's supervision, carried out the bombardment orders.
Here are a few examples of Union troops executed for just that:
"Preble James, 22, b.Batavia (NY), pvt, co K, 12 NY cav., shooted at Goldsboro (NC) 31 march 1865 for attempted rape on Mrs Rebecca Drake (23) and Miss Louise Jane Bedard, her cousin (17) and rape of Miss Letitia Craft her aunt (58) near Kingston (NC) on the afternoon of 16 march 1865."
"Catlett Alfred, 20, from Richmond (Va), farmer, pvt, co E, 1st heavy Art. USCT / Colwell Alexander, 26, farmer from NC, pvt same unit / Turner Charles, 18, farmer from Charleston (SC), pvt same unit / Washington Jackson, 22, farmer from NC, pvt co K same unit / The four was shooted at Asheville (NC) 6 may 1865 for the gang rape of "a young white woman". (in OR S1 vol XLIX part II).
You said: "That can be easily denied, since he ordered the burning of precisely one city - Atlanta."
Not only can your contention be denied, but proved a canard.
Scores of towns and villages in Georgia and South Carolina were torched by Sherman's troops. If you want to assert that he did not order any further burning after Atlanta in Sept of 1864, the word had not reached his officers by February of 1865. Here is documentation from a post by Rustbucket: the burning and destruction of those listed SC towns and villages.
Hardeeville: "[SHERMAN'S MARCH THROUGH THE CAROLIINAS] Confederates skirmish at Hardeeville and federals burn the town all night/1865" Link
Barnwell: "The town of Barnwell was burned as was part of Orangeburg and Winnsboro." Link
Grahamville: "Most of the buildings in the town were burned by Gen. Shermans troops in 1865." Link
Gallisonville: "burned and left in ruin" Link
McPhersonville: General Logan (Union) to General Howard (Union), January 7 - March 31, 1865 report: "In accordance with your Field Order, Numbers 29, I moved the corps from McPhersonville to Hickory Hill, breaking camp at 7 a.m. Before the rear of my column passed through McPhersonville I regret to inform you that the village was in flames. This was doubtlessly induced by the desertion of their houses by the entire population, for on our entrance into the village not a human being was to be found." Link
Barnwell: "The town of Barnwell was burned as was part of Orangeburg and Winnsboro." Link
Blackville: "On February 12th the army marched out of Blackville, leaving a trail of smoke behind them. A few homes and other buildings survived due to the vigilance and fast work of the villagers." Link
Orangeburg: "Sherman's men push back the Confederate forces at Orangeburg and begin to destroy the railway there and set fire to the town. By the end of the day nearly half the town is destroyed by the fire." Link
Lexington: "The town suffered tremendous loss of buildings in 1865 under the occupation of forces under the command of Gen. Sherman (Lexington was under control of the army guarding the Western Flank of Shermans troops.) Most businesses and homes, the county jail and courthouse and St. Stephens Lutheran Church were all burned." Link
Columbia: "The city of Columbia surrenders to Sherman. Union troops occupy the city. A fire breaks out, and by the next day, nearly two-thirds of the city has been destroyed." Link. And: Union Captain George Whitfield Pepper reported in his 1866 book that he met crowds of soldiers returning from Columbia "waving gold watches, handfuls of gold, jewelry, and rebel shinplasters [rb: paper money] in the air, and boasting of having burned the town."
Winnsboro: "During the Civil War, it was looted and partially burned by Union troops in 1865, but many older structures remain." Link. And: "On his march north from the capital city of Columbia in February 1865, General William Tecumseh Sherman had stopped just long enough to burn most of the town, an act that was not soon forgotten." Link. And: ""There were about thirty buildings burned, including dwellings and stores. The Yankees did not seem to care whether a building was occupied or not, but picked out-houses where, in their burning, they would communicate the flames to other premises. Every particle of property burned belonged to private individuals. No public property was destroyed. ... The Yankees also set fire to, and destroyed, the Episcopal Church, situated in the northwestern portion of the town; and while it was burning they took the organ, played upon it, and sang blasphemous songs. Many of the citizens were plundered; wedding rings and mementoes of deceased husbands or parents were stolen as ruthlessly as gold coin would have been. Watches and jewelry were cut from the persons of ladies, and, in some instances, their shoes removed on the pretence of searching for rings." Link
Camden: "Ultimately, like so many other towns in South Carolina, Camden did not escape the wrath of Sherman's men. In February 1865, many of its buildings were once again burned." Link. And: Most of Camden escaped the torch Link. And: "On the 24th of February 1865, during the Civil War, a part of Gen. W. T.Sherman's. army entered Camden and burned stores of tobacco and cotton, and several buildings." Link. And: "In Camden, the Federals burned the railroad depots, a bridge, two thousand bales of cotton, food warehouses, and a flour mill." Link
Cheraw: "Outlying plantations and summer homes are burned, but no in town dwellings or churches are destroyed. Valuables are stolen and there is much vandalism. The official headquarters is the Matheson House. Sherman himself stays on McIver Street. When they leave the town will be destitute, and without food for more than a day or two. Almost the entire business district is destroyed by an accidental Yankee explosion." Link
Williston: "The Union forces then tore up railroad tracks and burned many of Willistons homes." Link
That is a vast misrepresentation of the truth. In his memoirs Sherman boasted that his army destroyed more than $100 million in private property and carried home $20 million more during his "march to the sea."
From The Augusta Chronicle [Georgia] as reported in an 1864 issue of the New Orleans Daily Picayune:
In their route they [Sherman's troops] destroyed, as far as possible, all mills, cribs, and carried off all stock, provisions, and negroes, and when their horses gave out they shot them. At Canton they killed over 100. ... All along their route the road was strewn with dead horses, Farmers having devoted a large share of their attention to syrup making, there is a large quantity of cotton ungathered in the field, which was left by Federals, but there is not a horse or ox in the country, hence the saving of corn will be a difficult matter. At Madison, they broke open Oglesby's office and carried off all his medicines. ...
On going to McCradle's place he [a Georgia legislator] found his fine house and ginhouse burned, every horse and mule gone, and in his lot 100 dead horses, that looked like good stock, that were evidently killed to deprive the planters of them.
...No farm on the road to the place, and as far as we hear from toward Atlanta, escaped their brutal ravages. They ravaged the country below there to the Oconee River. The roads were strewn with the debris of their progress. Dead horses, cows, sheep, hogs, chicken, corn, wheat, cotton, books, paper, broken vessels, coffee mills, and fragments of nearly every species of property strewed the wayside.
...They gutted every store, and plundered more or less of everything. ... Many families have not a pound of meat or peck of meal or flour.
A couple of points:
I averred out that crimes are committed by soldiers in every army - the quality of a commander consists in whether he permits or forbids such crimes to be committed and whether he punishes such forbidden crimes when discovered.
Your posts show that Sherman did not approve of such activity, and that he punished it when discovered.
Also, Fellman's quotations of Poe are interesting - in light of the fact that Poe was tasked with burning down the remainder of Atlanta and that he did it.
I highly doubt that Poe, a trained engineer, was stupid enough to believe that a city that was a core railhead in the center of the South was "of no military significance."
Sherman informed the mayor that when he surrendered the city, the bombardment would end - and the mayor surrendered and the bombardment ended.
Finally, your list of towns that were partially burned underlines the fact that they were not ordered to be burned. Some fires began as deliberate acts of sabotage by Confederates who - intelligently - wanted to deprive the Union Army of stores. Some fires began accidentally - posting troops who are building literally thousands of campfires is going to start a large quota of fires in residential areas.
And then there are the fires set deliberately on Sherman's orders: Atlanta.
Stay classy, lg.
We have a saying down here. "Do the South a favor put a yankee on a bus".
Luckily, I know the South well, and I know that its people are far better than the example several of their self-appointed representatives are setting on this thread.
reference please.
And, of course, this has been the common practice of armies for centuries.
Moreover, what is with all this talk of "aggression"? Did the Union fire on Fort Sumter?
The Army of the Tennessee was ordered TO plunder. Conversely the Army of NoVa was order NOT TO plunder. Of course some in the AofNoVa violated the orders and when caught were PUNISHED.
Bless your little pea picking heart.
Case of Davis, 7 F. Case 63 (C.C.D. Va. 1867)
C. Ellen Connally did a lengthy piece on the case in the 2009 University of Akron Law Review.
This was the appeal that Davis brought to the Federal Circuit Court in Virginia - the history of the case is extremely complex, and he fought it in court for close to four years.
You are doing your cause no favors.
The Army of Northern Virginia was ordered not to requisition anything without the empty formality of offering worthless Confederate government IOUs first.
So, clearing aside the technical language, both armies were ordered to take whatever they felt like taking. And they did. With both hands.
Davis motioned the court three years post war.
But let's say the clerk was wrong and Wikipedia is right: how does that change the fact that Davis, rather than welcoming the indictment, appealed it?
Davis' desire to go to trial magically appeared only after it was certain that he would not be put on trial.
I guess like any human he wanted to be put on trial or freed, the cowardly Yankees couldn't make up the widdle minds. They were skirt of Massa Davis.
I suspect Lee's in for a lot of "debunking" -- a general who goes against the country he once swore allegiance to and makes the conflict much bloodier than it would otherwise have been -- especially after so many decades of reverence.
At least we should consider that there are two sides to the controversy. I'm not saying the Civil War is still going on, but we're not quite at the point where the English -- who can look back on Cavaliers and Roundheads and bless them both equally and without distinction -- are with their Civil War.
It'll be rural vs city - yes some places will be less so such as Texas where Austin I'm sure will be quickly taken out, but here in Ohio it'll be the five city enclaves vs 1/2 the suburbs and everyone else. Illinois will be Chicago and e St. Louis and Springfield vs farm country. Indiana may be mainly north vs south ... Even New York has its folks who wills seek out redress from the burden of NYC and Albany.
I see cordons around the cities and channels between the cities.
Perhaps when FreeRepublic gets back on its feet again I can see what foolishness the Lost Cause Losers have posted this time ;-)
The Coven has descended....
The Coven has descended....just as soon as you posted.
Yes it is a myth. Sherman sure did destroy a lot of stuff... railroads, cotton gins, factories, anything that might have military value. And his foragers sure made off with a lot of food and livestock (and I'm sure silver tea sets and other things of value.) That's what armies living off the land do and what Lee did in his northern campaigns. Sherman also did burn the homes of known rebel leaders or places where he encountered organized resistance, and he did hang a few bushwhackers his men caught.
But Shelby Foote looked for years for evidence of the Southern lore he was raised with of vast raping and killing of women and children that the Lost Cause Sherman myth insists upon, and he could find no evidence for any of it.
Sherman was very effective in breaking both the ability and the will of the Confederates, but he was not the mass murdering Gengis Kahn that the Lost Causers Myth crowd invoke.
Sherman probably saved tens of thousands of lives both North and South by bring that war of attrition to a conclusion a year or so before it would have ended otherwise.
Thanks for posting the article.
My great-grandfather's oldest brother was in Lee's Army of Northern Virginia, with the 13th Mississippi. I believe wardaddy's wife is related to his commanding officer at Gettysburg.
Like you would know? Feh.
"At least we should consider that there are two sides to the controversy. I'm not saying the Civil War is still going on, but we're not quite at the point where the English — who can look back on Cavaliers and Roundheads and bless them both equally and without distinction — are with their Civil War."
The composition of differences that began in the 1890's and continued up to about 1960 was criticized, and then overthrown, by liberal and Prog pols interested in splitting the conservative middle in this country and driving Midwestern and Western conservatives away from Southern conservatives, as a way to destroy the GOP and introduce a single-party, "one-armed democracy" that would be the vanguard dictatorship that Fabians and Communists have been laboring to achieve for 100 years.
Rush discusses the political aspect of the steady demonization of the South by the Alinskyites around Clinton and Obama that began in 1991 with Ray Garganus's scalawaggy article in The New York Times, advocating public banishment of the Confederate Battle Flag, in this recent transcript posted to FR:
He was unsuccessful - every court that reviewed his indictment upheld it. It was through the magnanimity of his former foes - Ulysses Grant and Salmon P. Chase - that the charges were dropped. Grant did not want to open old wounds.
It was only after he was assured of his freedom, and when he began holding court at Beauvoir with his admirers, that he started claiming that he had wanted to go to trial.
This was an obvious falsehood - he had fought his indictment in court for years rather than face trial. He did one thing, but said another.
I invite any disinterested observer to compare our respective posts on this thread and then judge for themselves.
You can believe any fairly tale you want. Civil War "History" as it is POPULARLY understood is so much reconstructed BS to make an unjust war waged by Northern Industrial forces against a tariff hating South palpable to the masses. I cant blame you - for the truth is hard to take.
Nolu chan hasn't posted in years...wish he still did.
man...he destroyed the Klowns at Posse once they turned on him...their mistake
i bet some of these south bashers were klowns...that was our first refuge from here for those sorts and their race card antics

William Barksdale was my wife's great great uncle.
His sister Virginia Barksdale Wade was her great great gandma and the wife of State Senator Levi Wade who owned a large cotton plantation southeast of Nashville between Smyrna and Murfreesboro called Bellevue...not to be confused with another Bellevue home in West Nashville which still stands.
My wife's family home was razed by the Federals during the Stones River and Tullahoma etc campaigns that ran up and down the Old Nashville Highway where it was located.
Levi had voted for Secession at the last moment as a state senator and was a colonel in the CSA away in Virginia and the Yankees pillaged the home and foraged the crops and appropriated all the male field slaves for labor. The family (women and children) with the house slaves and women and girls and younger boy slaves fled to kinfolks in the hills to the east in Smith county near what is now Center Hill lake. Virginia Barksdale wrote quite a bit on this in her journal which my wife's aunt has to this day.
Ironically...all of the descendents I know today are Republicans...it would be hard to explain to them if you could today how the parties have sorta switched as to who is now the progressive.
But we still have the same pickle whereby a transformational progressive time and again gets elected President of the USA without a majority of the vote,
Though Obama got 10 points more than Lincoln.
* all that stands of the old homeplace is the graveyard which some of us try to keep up...their family never recovered economically...they did keep the land and sharecropped out to the older slaves who stayed and they even built a small farm house in 1868...which burned down in the 1970s under new owners...the foundation of the original plantation still exists
We are not discussing fairy tales, but hard facts.
Fact 1: Davis was indicted for treason.
Fact 2: Davis publicly claimed that he wanted to stand trial.
Fact 3: Despite his public claims that he wanted to stand trial, he fought the indictment in court to prevent a trial.
All three facts are a matter of public record, and I even specifically cited case law for you.
Civil War History as it is POPULARLY understood is so much reconstructed BS
There are three main popular versions of Civil War history, all of them specifically partisan. I avoid all three.
an unjust war waged by Northern Industrial forces
The war was initiated by the Confederacy. That also is a historical fact.
The Constitution also gives the Federal government supremacy of legal jurisdiction over all states that adopted the Constitution. That's another fact.
You are working with a definition of "unjust war" that is simply contradictory to the entire tradition of Western public law.
against a tariff hating South
The North was far more agricultural than it was industrial. It only seemed industrial compared to the South. And the war was not about tariffs. If it were, it would be a war unjustly waged by the South on that account alone. But tariffs had almost nothing to do with the statements and motivations of the secession movement.
The nullification crisis was about tariffs. If the Civil War was about any legislation, it was about the Kansas-Nebraska Act.
palpable to the masses
I assume you mean "palatable."
I cant blame you - for the truth is hard to take.
Your comments on this thread indicate that you have done very little independent investigation of the matters under discussion.
You have completely bought into the "Lost Cause" version of events. This is not about truth for you, in my opinion. It is about confirming yourself in your unexamined personal convictions.
I know I don't have all the answers. But I try to ask the right questions.
In today's program, Rush noted that although 65% of Americans think that the 2nd Amendment is intended to protect their freedom, the current liberal meme seems to be that only whites and only Southerners support the 2nd Amendment. Thus, it must be racist and Southern and anti-civil rights like what happened in the 60s to support the 2nd Amendment.
Projecting again, ain't you Reb? Funny thing is Lincoln didn't have Lee hung, isn't it?
General Sherman ''raped women and children''? Really? I suppose you have proof that William Tecumseh Sherman did exactly that?
I suppose you should read all of the posts and replies before you comment.
I'm looking at yours. You said General Sherman ''raped children and women''. All I'm doing is asking you for proof of that.
"Projecting again, aint you Reb? Funny thing is Lincoln didnt have Lee hung, isnt it?"
He might have had a problem accomplishing that in the brief time he was still alive. Although I doubt that he even considered such an idea.
April 9th Lee surrenders at Appomattox Court House
April 15th, Lincoln assassinated by John Wilkes Boothe
Hanging Lee and Jeff Davis is a fantasy cherished only by modern loonies who spend more energy hating the South than they do celebrating whatever virtues they imagine that they possess.
Neo-yankee chauvinism is something new that grew up post 1960s and it now flourishes like some parasitical mold, spreading its hateful poison wherever it lodges. I can understand it coming out of Hollywood but it is curious to see it at conservative forums. Must be a sign of the times.
There is no "Neo-yankee chauvinism". Certainly not on these boards. However, there is southron bigotry writ large here and it is thick~n~chewy. The difference is that we just consider the source and shrug it off.
You should try it some time.
I didn't catch today's show but I heard him mention something along those lines yesterday or the day before. It had to do with the left attempting to isolate the southern states in their continuing agenda of divide and conquer.
And of course the reason why they are doing so is because the south is more unified in its opposition to Øbongo's agenda than any other geographic area.
Perhaps it is becoming a reoccurring theme on his show?
Your myths and delusions are even harder to take.
I never thought I would meet a crazier loon than Stand Watie on this forum, but I think you are right in his league and about ready to pass him up.
Rather, Lee should have been tried for having southern soldiers murdered when they wouldn't continue in treason.
Actually, the revisionists are the lost cause losers.
They pretended for years that Lee never owned slaves.
Eventually his will was found, and it was revealed that he did. he was another slave owner, fighting to further the institution of slavery.
Except that Lee was a slave owner, and a person who served as slave overseer for a slave plantation.
A shameful thing that. One that the worshipers at the alter of Lee pretend didn't happen, or worse yet, pretend it didn't matter.

web design: form follows function
note: this is an article from the monthly newsletter i send to my clients
What makes a good site and what are the basic steps you and your designer should follow in order to get there?
R Buckminster Fuller once wrote, "When I'm working on a problem, I never think about beauty. I think only how to solve the problem. But when I have finished, if the solution is not beautiful, I know it is wrong."
Ask the right questions
A good design provides the solution to a problem or is the solution you arrive at after asking pertinent questions. An elegant design is a simple solution to a complex problem.
If your project is a public facing web site then some very important questions might be:
* Who is (are) your target audience?
* What message(s) do you want them to receive?
* What action(s) do you want them to take?
* How can the site contribute directly to increasing your business, easing the burden on your staff or both?
The most important step is to ask the right questions and to know what problems you want to solve. Perhaps the problem is simply that your site has become stale and needs a fresh look. Then again you may have decided you want more interactive components, the site may not be attracting and retaining the traffic you had hoped or you want something that can be updated in-house. A larger company or organization will be dealing with additional issues such as changing management priorities, shifting market requirements, a new focus by one or more stakeholders or wanting to increase the strategic use of technology to meet fundamental business goals.
Build your site to support your original objectives
Every decision regarding your site should be made after the fundamental questions, and business problems you hope to solve have been considered.
The design and architecture (how people navigate through your site) should support the site mission by making the important areas easy to find. Site layout should be clean and focus on ease of use.
Page coding should adhere to current web standards. You may not know the difference but your web developer should. This will speed download times, increase accessibility and improve the ability for search engines to index your site. Accessibility is simply good practice. If your site was developed a few years ago chances are it is all table based.
Programming and back end decisions should be made based on the current needs of your business, the requirements of your site and your budget.
Hosting decisions should be made based on what will best support the sites needs including the size of your site, the security it will require, any legal compliance issues you need to consider and the traffic you expect to receive.

From Our Editors
When most people think of Chicago-style pizza, they probably imagine a dense, deep-dish pie weighed down by an inches-thick layer of cheese. But the chefs at Nicolo's Pizza point to a different definition offered up by famed Chicago film critic Roger Ebert. In an interview with Vanity Fair , Ebert estimated that as much as 85 percent of Chicago's pizza is built upon a thin crust, and that what really sets the city's pies apart is the homemade sauces and crusts cooked up by Chicago's abundant Italian population.
That's exactly the type of Chicago-style pizza that Nicolo's has been dishing up for more than 30 years, using recipes born generations ago in Italy. Each thin or hand-rolled crust is made fresh every day, topped with a choice of sauce such as traditional red, alfredo, or garlicky extra virgin olive oil, then baked in an authentic stone-bottom oven. Patrons can choose their own ingredients––which range from artichoke hearts to green chilies––or choose one of the shop's specialties such as Buffalo Pie, a ranch-based pizza topped with chicken, celery, carrots, and mozzarella, or the Besto Pesto with Chicken, featuring chicken, black olives, artichoke hearts, and provolone cheese with a pesto sauce. Beyond the pizza pan, chefs painstakingly assemble layers of fresh noodles, ricotta, and sauce into classic meaty or vegetarian lasagna and slather chicken wings in a variety of sauces, including pomegranate chipotle and thai peanut.

Modern-Day Makeover With Antiques
To keep a modern-day kitchen from appearing too cookie cutter, it can pay to look to the past. "Antiques offer such one-of-a-kind beauty," says Fifi O'Neill, who wrote Romantic Prairie Style and helped design the space shown here. Anchored by a stock island customized with oversize corbels, the room features almost entirely second-hand (or third- or fourth-hand) finds, from the freestanding pine dish cabinet to the painted breakfast stools. A soft palette of white, cream, and gold brings out the faded patina of these furnishings—and ties in the few new pieces, including bronze cabinet hardware and a home-center pendant lamp.

+1 on Ralph's comment -- it's not on the trunk. Perhaps the CMR didn't properly remove it from v1.5, but that explains why it's not in the v1.5 Makefile.am.

Aurora bans doctors from giving free drug samples
Medical group joins University of Wisconsin Hospital and Clinics and Froedtert Hospital
About 900 doctors affiliated with Aurora Health Care clinics no longer will dispense free brand-name medication samples as Wisconsin's largest hospital system joins the growing number of health care providers around the nation to spurn a long-standing pharmaceutical industry tradition.
The decision, which takes effect Aug. 1, affects Aurora Medical Group doctors at about 160 clinics, which log more than 3 million patient visits a year.
Aurora joins the University of Wisconsin Hospital and Clinics and Froedtert Hospital, which already have policies severely limiting the use of free samples.
The practice of providing free samples has come under fire in recent years because it is believed to add cost to the health care system by encouraging the use of expensive brand-name drugs instead of cheaper and often more proven generics.
There also have been concerns about safety because the practice requires doctors to act as pharmacists.
"It's a marketing tool," said Lee Vermeulen, director of the Center for Clinical Knowledge Management with the UW Health System. "We felt it was systematically driving care toward more expensive new medicine. Very few times do we really get different, better drugs."
UW first implemented restrictions on samples in 2000 and extended it to all of its clinics in 2009.
Tossed samples
The switch had a visible impact.
Even though clinics had six months' notice of the change and plenty of time to clear out samples, the policy resulted in 20 garbage bags of samples that had to be thrown out, he said.
Some argue that eliminating free samples harms poor people and those without prescription drug coverage.
However, Vermeulen said it makes no sense to start people on an expensive drug they won't be able to afford. He noted that financial assistance programs exist for those who can't afford their medication.
Often the samples don't go to the most needy, said Lee Shapley, a spokesman for the American Medical Student Association, which ranks the conflict-of-interest policies of academic medical centers. One of the ranking criteria is whether the center has a policy restricting free samples.
Shapley said samples often go to people with higher incomes who can afford to stay on the drug once the sample runs out.
"We feel it inflates the cost of medical care," said Shapley, a fourth-year medical student at Oregon Health and Science University and director of the association's PharmFree Scorecard.
Jeff Bailet, a senior vice president with Aurora Health Care, said the decision to stop dispensing free samples was primarily prompted by safety concerns.
Concerns about whether the practice was driving up health costs played a lesser role, he said.
Difficult for doctors
The new policy has met some resistance among doctors, he said.
"There is a lot of emotion and history for physicians," he said. "This is something they have been doing in their practice for years."
A few exceptions will be allowed, such as in cases of a patient who has to learn how to inject a drug or use an inhaler or eye dropper.
About 175 doctors in community-based clinics affiliated with Froedtert Hospital stopped dispensing free samples in 2006, said Mark Lodes, chief medical officer of the Froedtert & Medical College Clinical Practice Group.
"We felt the pressure of pharmaceutical reps in our clinics was driving prescribing practices of physicians," he said.
Two years after the ban was implemented, use of generics jumped 15%, Lodes said.
Several years ago, a policy restricting free samples also was implemented at the main Froedtert campus in Wauwatosa, said Todd Karpinski, director of pharmacy at Froedtert.
Samples are allowed only as a temporary bridge for self-pay patients trying to get financial assistance or as a trial to see whether the drug works, he said.
He said the goal is to keep patients off more expensive drugs because once they have been on them for a prolonged period, it is hard to switch them to a cheaper drug.
"That's the marketing scheme behind samples," Karpinski said.

"No need to worry the government will take our guns and then the young will kill all the old folks."
Soylent Green is Old People!
Didn't these same people pay into SS for the last 40 years? What's the problem? SS is a Ponzi scheme scam and it might well sink us.
Obamacare has a solution for this problem
I get by on less than that.
I could reduce that further if the local shakedown/protection racket would reduce the property taxes.
I is old people, enjoy me with milk.
Honey, I'm pregnant!
we don't have nearly enough saved...we've had two weddings and a house payment and two colleges to help pay for...
I want my Ss...I'll work some piddly job for the extra money....guess I'll be forced to.
I'd be happy to get that much SS, mine is around half
Looks like most of these problems would disappear if we could re-educate people that "retirement" is an old fashioned concept, like the Constitution or "Rule of Law". Work 'till you die. It's Patriotic! Like paying taxes!
I just want to point out that you can die within 8 hours in Death Valley, apparently without suffering to much. You won't really even notice the heat, because there is often a nice breeze blowing through there.
That was exactly the point, by the way. From Henry George's Single Tax to the income tax to counterfeiting (the Fed) to the death tax, gubmint has, especially since the progressive era, deliberately attempted to make it impossible for you to support yourself. Nevermind their reasons, which I never understand anyway. They don't like "unearned income," they wanna head off plutocrats from stealing democracy, poverty in the midst of plenty is morally anathematic, we gotta spread the wealth around, blah, blah, blah. Mostly it's because they live to spend money, and you can only find it where it is.
The result is very little culture and sheeplike people. But, hey, at least we have McDonalds and gang wars.
Suckling on the government teat is not a liberal vs conservative issue. There are plenty of conservatives, many on this forum, that rail against it on one hand and enjoy the fruits of it on the other.
I'm pretending that there isn't any safety net, and that I'm on my own until Jesus takes me to his bosom.
What is so surprising about this data. The country celebrates debt and interest payments and the baby boom has no concept of hard times.
Get yourself out of debt, stop paying interest and watch your savings grow quickly.
Spend tomorrows money today and you will have no money tomorrow.
the young will kill all the old folks.. well yes that too when video games get boring.
Not to worry..
The 1960s Marxist-Alinsky campus radical, spoiled brats and their ideological issue (the Establishment) can be gruff but honest when it comes to the old and useless eaters. The progressives' future rests on finding the right solution.
President Obama: At that age just a pill might be better than expensive cures.
Former Senate Majority Leader Democrat Tom Daschle has praised Europeans for being more willing to accept "hopeless diagnoses" and "forgo experimental treatments," and he chastises Americans for expecting too much from the health-care system.
Former Governor of Colorado Democrat Richard Lamm: Seriously ill old people have a duty to die and get out of the way.
and then there's the Democrats' Pelosi..
Palliative End of Life Optimum Serenity Initiative (PELOSI).
"Obamacare has a solution for this problem."
Obamacare IS a solution for this problem.
But there is certainly a point of diminishing returns for health care. Where that point will be drawn AND BY WHOM(!), I have no idea.
as long as Obamacare covers Viagra, they'll be happy...
Didn't these people ignore this for the last 40 years.....? Fruits of the 60's generation and chickens coming home to roost? What should have been saved was instead used to grow a large parasitic population.
For most of history, several generations lived together. The younger generation is not going to like it, but Mom and Dad will be arriving soon with their luggage.
Don't trust anyone under 48, I think that used to be a slogan.
Civil war is a solution for this problem..... That's the Obama plan.
"No one ever said life would fair, son"
—Everybody when I was a kid
I have been doing some research on the SS issue. It seems that in 1983 (Reagan admin), Rs and Ds got together to try to save Social Security. One thing they agreed on was that the salary cap at 90% was reasonable. However, the cap apparently has been increased at the cost of living rate, while incomes at the upper levels have been increasing much faster. Thus since some time in the 1990s the cap has drifted down to hover around 85%. I think last year it was even as low as 82%. All we need to do is insist that Congress or whoever sets the cap return to the bipartisan cap rate of 90%, then to make up for the 15 years when it was much lower, it should be increased by 1/2 or 1% to the 95% level and held there until SS is solvent again. Since by that time the baby boom elderly bulge will have gone by, then it could be lowered back to the 90% level.
Also in 1983 it was agreed that for the first time SS income should be taxed (whatever happened to no tax Republican ideals). A complex calculation formula was developed that included a deduction for $25,000 for single people, and $32,000 for married couples. Unfortunately, this figure was NOT indexed, so now we have a problem similar to the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT). If this deduction had been indexed, the single rate would be over $57,000, and the married rate over $74,000. I would love to marry the fine man I have met since my husband died 6 years ago, but we really cannot afford it at the 1983 rate. We could if Congress would index that deduction to today's value and index it permanently as they apparently have done with the AMT. It is ironic to think that widows and widowers are feeling compelled economically to "live in sin" by this oversight.
...or BE fair, either!
You post some entertaining stuff.
Promises? Who made those?
Some guy dishing out others money now long retired?
Sadly Reagan joined in on this scam but at the time 30 years ago it looked workable.
And here I thought a significant number of the 'Peter Pan' generation still lived with Mom and Dad.
Sorry. No room for parking coffins in the front yard. I'm an orphan.
And I'll be dashed if I move in with my kids. After I got hurt bad in 2009, I did have to stay with someone, and that lasted for about a week until I could actually get out of bed by myself in about a half hour.
How did the media succeed in turning a continuous, permanent, uninterrupted program from the 1930s, into a "boomer" program.
One would think that all the old people used to do was defeat Nazis, and that the boomers created SS when they were children and teenagers in the 1960s, and starting the Vietnam war.
You're fos.
What they pay every month or two for a home mortgage, was the greatest generations *full* price for their brand new homes.
Think about that for a second.
Dad said, gimme a bucks worth of regular and people jumped up to check his oil and clean his windshield...And spoke English...
The great generation had very secure jobs, worked 25 years or so and retired....on good pensions with good medical benefits....The private sector boomers have none of that. zip...
That great generation bought brand new homes, had secure jobs, and great medical benefits all on ONE income...one income....lol
Try that in today's America...You'd last about 2 weeks.
It's my opinion that "Great generation" had it made in the shade, and went thorough some of the best times in U.S. history...This isn't even debatable.
My folks bought a brand new home for what many boomers pay every two months in their freaking mortgage...And *both* are force to work into their 60s, 70s and beyond, as they work harder for less money each year...
Ya think things have become better and better each year for boomers in the past 25 years? Think again slick.
agreed, my three adult kids and husbands struggle like we never did.
The only way I could live with my DIL is if I'm suffering from Alzheimer's.
A factor I've not seen discussed is that people have waited longer to start their families than our generation did. By the time we were 40, our kids were grown and almost through college or had jobs and were out of the house. We were entering our peak earning time and so had at least 20 years to stash money for retirement. Our kids, on the other hand, didn't even start their families until they were 40 and will be pushing 60 or older when their kids' expenses start eating up every penny of their income with nothing going into savings for their soon-to-be retirement age.
> Obamacare has a solution for this problem
Take your shot, SIR! Yes it IS mandatory when reach retirement age. Here's the address. Why yes it is secluded but you can find it easily. It's located right next to the crematorium...: )
"So what do you think? Do you believe that there is a solution to our retirement crisis? Do you think that we can actually keep all of the promises that we have made to the Baby Boomers?"
What promise did I make to baby boomers? Did anybody ask me whether I wanted to be paying social security taxes? No?
Then it's not a promise. What this is - is theft. Is there a way to steal enough money? Absolutely.
> we don't have nearly enough saved...we've had two weddings and a house payment and two colleges to help pay for...
I want my Ss...I'll work some piddly job for the extra money....guess I'll be forced to.
I hear ya. I've been talking-to a LOT of people that have told me their savings is bleeding trying to keep up with the increased cost of everything (btw - I don't believe those Obama administration released inflation figures; my own personal experience and others tells me its skewed and full of crap). I don't think you'll be alone on the poor farm. I'll be there right along beside you...as will a lot of others
The way it is going now, it will be the younger generation never packing their luggage and leaving Mom and Dad.
If it's not a boomer program, why did the boomers insist on keeping it? You've had 24 years of boomer presidents to get rid of it.
Compared to my folks generation, most boomers have been left with a derailed country, lost jobs, lost homes, lost medical insurance, bankrupt retirement plans, lost investments, lawless borders and a corrupt government...Then their told government looted Social Security, it's bankrupt and they might have to work till they drop dead....
My mom would have never been able to deal with what millions are dealing with today...She was one of the millions of stay at home moms, who never had to work a day in her life outside the home..She and much of her generation went though the late 40s, 50s, 60s and 70s living pretty damn easy...I'm not hold that against her, I'm just telling it like it is..
Don't really sympathize. Imagine you're trying to get married for the FIRST time but you're shelling out SS Tax.
I'm sorry you don't love your partner enough to sacrifice for them.
One of the best moves I ever made was joining the Air National Guard when my active duty time was up. An extra $2000 a month and full use of any military base amenity for life. We buy most of our food at the commissary at a 40 percent savings over the civilian economy. And I can fly space A for nothing. Yeah, best move I ever made.
A-Men. A-Men.
I get by on half that!
Boomers have never known hard time - good thing they are teaching us!
What a goofy post.
Boomers seem to be the generation that is trying to fix it, challenging it, yet again, people like you associate it as a "boomer" program.
"millions of stay at home moms, who never had to work a day in her life outside the home"
That sums up the boomer perspective perfectly. Yeah, stay at home moms contribute nothing.
"Boomers seem to be the generation that is trying to fix it, challenging it, yet again, people like you associate it as a boomer program."
Right. When did Clinton fix it? When did Bush fix it? When did Obama 'fix' it?
You've had 24 years already since 1992 to fix it. What, are you going to get it right now?
It is a boomer program - you've had your chance to fix it and you all failed.
I've read your posts...Your full of cheet.

If they work it out, fine, otherwise the roommate needs to take over the lease herself. Or, make the guy an offer he cant refuse. If the roommate puts up with him hitting her and still lets him be her boyfriend, then nothing that the sister says to the roommate will do any good.

A really delicious combination. I brushed the eggplant with olive oil before broiling and added tinned mushrooms minus the juice. I used mild cheddar cheese (didn't have Montrachet). The leftovers were put on a pizza base, excellent. Thanks for posting this.
I liked this recipe. It was easy and tasty. I didn't have capers and it came out just fine. I sprinkled the top with feta cheese, which blended well with the dish. I served it with toasted french bread, it was great. I highly suggest it.
My kids ate this! I minced the mushrooms and capers in a foodprocessor before adding them so nobody noticed the mushrooms. I used regular hard cheese as I don't like goat cheese, and halved the amount. This is a keeper.

Hello guys!
There is a problem, some of my mp3 files are getting indexed by other websites, and i can not find a way to avoid it.
For example, a track (3 mbytes) is played almost 2000 times per daym, that is 6000mb, or 5GB! No way to keep it safe.
I know that some websites found a way, but i dont know how to do it. Do you?
That's all. Thank u so much.

Hi, I've noticed that, when moving domains of a site, all CFI data is disappearing.
I'm in the process of uploading from a local host. My normal technique for moving wordpress is to export an .sql, look for "http://localhost/mysite" and replace with "http://www.mydomain.com" and then look for the full path, "applications/MAMP/www/mysite", for example, and replace with the new full path.
This tends to work for everything I've moved in the past. But with CFI, the moved version of the blog has all CFI fields as empty. The images they used to link to are still present in the media library.
Any clues as to why this is happening would really make me relieved. I can't get my head around it, and I'm moving a site with about 1000+ thumbnail CFIs! *gulp*
Thanks in advance.

Vented Enclosure Design Using Computer Simulation
The prolific amount of theoretical papers on the subject of closed box and bass-reflex loudspeaker enclosure design has proved to be invaluable in the understanding of the operation of these systems and it has simplified the procedure by working toward a particular type of response. However, by adding the useful technique of computer simulation, one can reach the final results in a much shorter period of time and at the same time have the flexibility of being able to vary parameters for optimum performance.

Location:� Home
Style:� Water, Bradley Method
Child's Name:� Michio Alexander Q.
Length: 20 1/2in
Weight:7lbs 3oz
Head Circumference:
Birth Story:
I had made my decision from the beginning of the pregnancy to pursue an all natural home birth, I felt that for many reasons, this was the best for me and my baby.My husband and I decided to take Bradley method childbirth vlasses and not only did we recieve invaluable information we made lifetime firiends.
Baby was due on Oct 14th that day came and went with out anything happening. Everyone around me was getting anxious! Saturday morning I was determined to keep active. I went to the bank took several walks, ate half a pineapple! Then around 11:30 in the morning the hubby and I decided to get it on one last time. Seems as though the Reverse Cowgirl is the perfect position to break your water! We all got excited but nothing happened for the rest of the day and the excitement died down. Around 11:30 at night I started to feel consistent contractions. They started out at 15 minutes apart. i called my midwife and doula who both wanted me to call them when contractions got closer together or more intense. My husband kept track of my contractions while playing video games in the other room with his friend and brother. This would have been something that would have gotten me mad but he timed them perfectly where he would come in the room right before the contraction started to give me support. He put pressure on my back (i was having intense back pain) and reminded me not to tense up and to breathe through it. (Bradley Birth training was invaluable). Around 2 in the morning my contractions jumped to 6 minutes apart. and were killing my back. My mother put hot compresses on my spine. I called my Doula to tell her she should come because I started to feel overwhelmed and confused I couldn't really make decisions like whether i wanted to move to the living room where I planned to give birth, or if I wanted to take a shower or not lol.
My doula arrived and I decided to go down stairs around 3:30. I labored in different positions as I received counter-pressure on my back. Instead of just breathing through my contractions it became necessary for me to vocalize through them. I kept my voice low and basically moaned like a Buddhist monk. We called my midwife to give her an update and she listened to a contraction over the phone, She was at another birth ( that lasted 3 days!) and said she will try to get over to me in the next half hour. At this point I start feeling an urge to push at the end of each contraction! I was thinking It can't be time already! I was so confused.
My midwife arrived around 5:30. She could not find the baby's heartbeat because it he was so low into my pelvis. She saw me go through one contraction and asked if I had been in the pool yet. My doula told her No and that I was waiting to get the okay from her first (If you go into the warm water too early it can stall your birth). My midwife checked me and I was praying that she would say I was dilated enough to go into the water, I just knew it would feel so much better. After my midwife checked me she said okay you can push whenever you feel the urge. We were all so surprised! my mom asked her "you mean shes fully dilated?!" She said yes shes at 10! I said can I get in the pool? and before she could say yes I pulled of my clothes and got into the pool! the time was 6 in the morning. Ladies I kid you not that was the best thing I could have felt at that point. Its like the heavens opened up! I no longer felt significant back pain it was just the contractions and the intense urge to push.� I was excited to push but soon started to feel discouraged as I felt I was pushing so hard without feeling any change. Thank God for My Husband, Mother, Doula, and Midwife who continuously encouraged me that I was already doing it and I was in the home stretch. I was able to continuously change positions in the water and get to whatever felt comfortable at the time. I kept feeling for the head and couldn't feel anything! but they kept reassuring me that I was doing great. I hummed hymns in between contractions which turned into buddhist moans then some out of the world banshee call by the height of each contraction. Tiredness started to set in and i no longer had the strength to get into any position than sitting my midwife coached me through the last pushes instructing me to cough low and to push down into my tail bone. When everyone around the pool started cheering cause they saw the crowning a power came over me and I was determined to get the head out. I pushed through each contraction until I lost all the oxygen in my lungs. I felt the ring of fire along with my midwife strentching my perenium to help the baby out. Now THAT hurt! Once the head was out I was ready to hold my baby, one more push and he was floating in the water. I reached down and pulled him to my chest. I thanked God a couple of times and looked over to see my 13 year old brother and mother with tears in their eyes. I was so happy he got to experience such a magical thing at such a young age. I got out the Pool to birth the placenta and he nursed right away. I did tear but had a Plastic Surgeon and my midwife there to give me a first class fix . We were quickly surrounded by family and support. I would not do anything differently. Baby Michio was born on 10/16/11 at 7:27 in the morning. 8 hours of active labor and 1 1/2 hours of pushing. Any questions feel free to ask. Dunno If I missed anything.
Thank you ladies for the support and the opportunity to read your birth stories while i was pregnant they gave me inspiration and strength

Fixed PriceBudget: $10
Start DateJuly 31, 2013
I need someone who can create a wordpress plugin that will remove outbound links in every post of my wordpress install (ie links to external websites).
For example if I have this in a post on mywebsite.com :
here is an example  of text that could be in one of my posts  on my website and that I want to clean
I need to get at the end:
here is an example that could be in one of my posts  on my website and that I want to clean
Sometimes outbound links don't have quotes like " so you would need to take into account this case too:  as well as this case
This plugin will be applied on *every* post (I don't need to select individual posts) so keep the plugin simple.
If you can create this plugin RAPIDLY (in the next 24h it would be great, I think it's just a matter of a regex search and replace on the post database so it should not be that long), please apply to this job with your price and delay to execute the job. I will get back to you in about 10 hours to start the job.

I need to clean the content of a wordpress site where the client has used the visual editor to style content across hundreds of pages resulting in a mess of nested span and style tags that need replacing with a simple class.
For example - I need to replace:

Page Heading

with the

Page Heading

I am using the regex search:
@
(.*?):
@
This works but the replace
@
(.*?):
@ does not - it just renders
(.*?): instead of leaving the content between the tags intact as I want.
Many thanks.

You're 'wright', Mary Louise, it doesn't say anything.
Both parties bash one another just the same. Not one is better than the other. Hopefully people will be out there shouting again! 4 MORE YEARS! 4 MORE YEARS! Romney and Ryan make a good gay couple, that is about it!
No doubt, Wright was an influence on Rand. I'm sure the Mormons have already baptized both Rand and Wright.
An earlier influence, however, according to Rand's notes, was the sadistic child killer, William Edward Hickman. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Edward_HickmanHide replies
You're going to rile up the Luddittes again, John.
In the past, the Mormons have baptized Jews. They may have baptized your dead relatives, too.
FLW did, in many ways, borrow some from Japanese wood blocking and organic building style. To say his body of work is "entirely our own" is close but not technically true. I love FLW, he has been ripped off by almost everyone and very few get it close to right, or "wright" as the case may be. Kind of reminds me of the FLW miracle homes home. Gag.
Since many right-winged, ultra-conservative evangelical types blamed Katrina's devastation of New Orleans on the sinful ways of that city, will the same be said for Hurricane Isaac and the methods of the RNC?Hide replies
conventional wisdom would say........................yes.
How silly this all is. The Republicans are always pretending to be something they're not. They should just give it up.

At Alliant, we love giving back. Over a decade ago, we founded the civic affairs program, which organizes charitable initiatives designed to serve worthy causes and help the community. Each year, hundreds of enthusiastic Alliant employees dedicate their time and resources to help others.
Each year the Civic Affairs committee organizes charitable initiatives including:
A day full of fun includes a chili & hot dog lunch, raffle, and a chili cook-off. To participate, Alliant employees donate to raise money for Bears Care — a Chicago Bears charity that helps disadvantaged children and their families in the Chicago area.
The civic affairs committee regularly organizes food and clothing drives — leading to the donation of thousands of items each year! Alliant donates all food and clothing collected in these drives to Chicago residents in need.
Every year we host the Alliant Employee Volleyball Tournament and select a particular charity to support. Thousands of dollars are raised every year through Alliant employee donations and fundraising. Past charity participants have included the Red Cross, Special Olympics of Illinois, and more.
We're proud recipients of the Companies That Care award for three consecutive years. The award recognizes our socially responsible workplace practices and active community involvement.
Dedicated Alliant employees work with Operation HOPE to teach young students about financial topics they will need to know to succeed. To date, over 4000 students in the Chicago area public school system have taken these financial literacy classes.
Every year we award five scholarships of $2,000 to Alliant member who are attending an undergraduate program. To enter, students submit a statement of goals and an essay on "What Belonging to Alliant Credit Union Means to Me."
Each year we award nine gift certificates totaling over $5,000 in value to help Alliant member students purchase a computer to use in their studies. To enter, a student from age 5-7 can use any format they like to describe what they want to be when they grow up and how a computer would enrich their education.
