that, in that manner. so i think often we have two sets of beliefs. if you want to hear more of this theory thing, ity -- i think that everybody identifies themselves with a status group which if its beliefs were carved in stone, would make the group -- not yourself -- the group the most important in the world. i mean, i've been, i was in a country store during the second world war, and here were these three old, good old boys from north carolina just talking, and one of them says, you know -- they were talking about the war, second world war -- he says it all seems to lead back to this guy hitler. [laughter] he said instead of saying --
7:01 pm
sending all these boats with supplies over to europe, why don't we just go shoot him? and another of the good old boys says, well, you know, i don't think -- i'm sure it's not that simple. you can't just go over there and shoot him. i said, i'll shoot him, you just get me a boat. just get me over there. [laughter] so even then it's probably, it may not be as easy to do. he says, i'll tell you what i'll do, our government never thought of this. i'll walk to the front door, ring the bell, and when he comes to the door, i'll shoot him. [laughter] and another of the good old buys said i'm sure it's not that simple. he's probably got a wall around the stuff. you can't just go barging in. okay, here's what i'm going to do. i'm going to hide my rifle underneath a raincoat, and i'm going to go around to the back of the place, and when it gets dark, i'm going to climb over and hide behind a tree. and in the morning when he comes
7:02 pm
out to pee, i'll shoot him. [laughter] .. they want to go there, shoot hitler if the government doesn't do it for them, and they think the government always is in conflict, and they are perfectly comfortable being in that rural status group, but if one walked
7:03 pm
in with a suit rather than bib overalls, that's hell to pay because you also believe in a certain way to wear, and i've discovered that i'm behind the times in miami. i turn up to places with a necktie, and, oh, i don't feel bad, but things change, and, believe me, what people wear every man and every woman thinks about it a lot, a lot. it may be just to stay in alignment with your status. you're not trying to outdress anybody, but trying to stay where you are, and anyway, i think it's the greatest subject in the world. [laughter] >> thank you.
7:04 pm
our last question. >> by the way, tom, i hear there's a will the more people wearing that in north carolina. [laughter] >> i would not be surprised because north carolina, every year, brings in so-called guest workers to pick the cotton. picking cotton is about the worst job in the world. it's always at the height of the heat of the summer, and those little bowls dried up to sharp points. it's extremely unpleasant. you cannot find innative born north carolina with any description who will pick cotton so they bring in guest workers. they are all from latin america, and they do -- they do all of the hard, all of the hard work,
7:05 pm
and most, they are happy enough to get it. >> let's go to the last question. >> i'm from colombia, live here for 20 years, and, actually, i got the idea to interview all my friends that came from different countries for a book which gladly you wrote about all the immigrants coming to miami. my question for you is if that book will be published? you have such a unique way to see it. [inaudible] >> it will be published in spanish. the hold up is translation. >> yeah. >> if i finished the book on time -- [laughter] like, six months ago, there wouldn't be this hold up. [laughter] all of my books have. printed in spanish, and i've --
7:06 pm
i've always been able to do pretty well reading -- >> right. this particular one sold, special for us because you write about our past and the impact in the city. thank you so much. >> oh, you're certainly welcome. [applause] >> yes. [applause] >> [inaudible] >> let's thank him. [applause] >> if you give us a couple minutes, we're going to set up for the autographing. if you want to buy a book, they are out that way. we have plenty of them. mr. wolff will be out there
7:07 pm
signing books. we're going to have to do away with personalization tonight if that's all right. please, please be understanding of that. anyway, thank you, all, we'll see you tomorrow night. [inaudible conversations] ♪
7:08 pm

>> what i discovered is jefferson appears to be a man of contradiction, but when you do something rather simple which is to put him on a timeline and examine all his saying and actions in an excellent chronological order, certain patterns emerge, and things simultaneously get more complicated, but a lot simpler. we're actually dealing with two jeffersons. there was the young jefferson who was a firey radical emancipationist, and there was the oldest jefferson who really
7:11 pm
embraced slavery. the younger one, oddly enough, is not studied all that much. as a newly minted member, he made a proposal to emancipate slaves in virginia. he made it on the slide shielding his identity using a relative to actually submit the bill. that's a good thing. his family member was denounced as an enemy of the country and the bill dismissed. later, under his name, as revolution approached, he had a more explicit plan, one that might have changed the course of the history. if only the country would stop the slave trade, jefferson wrote, it could proceed, quote, to the enfranchisement of the slaves we have, meaning they would become citizens. he wrote that in a document called "the summary view of the rights of british america" which he also submitted to the house of burgesses, and it was, again,
7:12 pm
summarily rejected. that led to the deck declaratiof independence, denouncing the slave trades, another clause struck. after the war, a strange thing happened to him, and oddly enough, frans is the key to understanding the transformation in jefferson. when we think of france, we think of sally and james hennings, french food, jefferson getting to know french architecture and wine, but he went there on very important national business, there as the trade representative. we were desperate for money. we owed a lot of money -- the u.s. owed enormous debts to britain, and our most important export was a slave raised crop. it was tobacco. bringing in some $30 million a year. now, jefferson had one problem.
7:13 pm
the most important and inflew enissue -- influ inissue friends were ab ligsists. they asked, when is the america going to free the slaves? he began making promises that emancipation was just around the corner, imminent, just waiting for opinions to ripen. none of this was really true, it was in our interest for him to say that, but oddly enough, jefferson really did absorb some of the radical feeling in france. before he left, set down a plan and told people about it, told thomas payne, william short, a number of abolitionists there, that when he was back in america, he'd train slaves, settle them on land as
7:14 pm
sharecroppers in the certainty they would become free citizens and free people in the united states. when he got back to the united states, things changed. >> watch this and others online at booktv.org.

from the texas book festival in austin, they discuss "american tappest --
7:16 pm
"american tapestry," this is 45 minutes. >> good morning, or as they say in texas, hi, y'all.as today, i have the honor and pleasure to be at the texas book festival serving as yourook moderator as writer and author rhen swarn.m i'll tell you a few thing hings about rachel because you came s immigration, the presidential campaign of 2004, and 2008, and first lady michele obama and her role in the obama white house. i met rachel at an event this
7:17 pm
year where i bought a book, the book she wrote, "american tapestry: the story of the black, white, and multiracial ancestors of michelle obama". after hearing her talk, i'd bought six more copies. i bought them for all my family members and to give out as christmas gifts. now after having read her book i can tell you it was a good investment. it helps me better understand my own family and many mysteries surrounding my own family. rachel l. swams's book is a compelling story that stirs deep emotions. it is also a story that would break them here and with that, let's welcome rachel l. swams. [applause] >> thank you. thank you. >> thank you for coming. in the years leading up to the presidential election, the focus
7:18 pm
seems to be on barack obama's roots and his family and the fact that he wrote his own biography. now in your book "american tapestry," you put the focus on michele obama. tell us about how you got started doing that and what inspired you. >> i was writing about the first lady and the first family for the new york times which was something of an unusual assignment. typically the first family is covered by the white house reporters who chased the president around on air force one and in the briefing room and write about the first lady or first family when they have time that there was a sense in 2008 at the new york times and other newspapers too that we might want to do things differently and this first african-american family living in this house, this white house bill in part by
7:19 pm
slave labor, with slave labor would be written about regeneration to come and we wanted it to be part of documenting and chronicling that story. in january, before the inauguration, one of my colleagues was writing an article about the president and his rainbow family and we realize that the last minute we didn't know much about michele obama's ancestry. my colleague reach out to genealogist and asked her to do some digging. we didn't give her enough time. she didn't find it very much as we read a lovely story about the president and his rainbow family and we thought that was that. but unbeknownst to us the genealogists kept digging and in september of 2009, the first year the obamas were in the white house she called us back and said i found something really interesting. would you be interested in covering it? i found myself on a plane to
7:20 pm
birmingham, alabama, where i visited churches, spent time in the archives, tried to find out as much as i could about the first lady's great-grandfather who happened to be by racial and the story ran a month later on the front page of the new york times about the office's parents, millennia, the first lady's great great great grandmother who was the slave girl valued at $475 in 1852 and the first lady's great, great grandfather who was a white man whose identity was a mystery. the day after the article ran, an editor sent me an e-mail and said that was fascinating. a little snippet of the first lady's family tree. would you think of doing a book
7:21 pm
on the old thing and that is how i got started. >> we are glad you got started on the book because it opens up a lot of information about families across america and the interconnectedness of many families. what i like about your book is it reads like a good suspense mystery or thriller. i suppose you had to be part detective and part researcher in unraveling the story. even michele obama herself was unaware of some of the people in her family tree, both black and white. there are many families in america who are experiencing that same thing or who are unaware of their family tree and what that has hidden inside of it. i found the following passage insightful and -- which is also
7:22 pm
great prose and by wanted to read it. she never discussed who he was or what happened between them. whether she was a victim of his brutality or a mistress, he treated affectionately, war whether she was loved in return. she went her way and he went his. and just like that, their families split down the middle. children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, some black, some white and some in between scattered across the country as decades past, separated by the color line and a family's fierce determination to step beyond its painful truths in slavery. obviously your research surprise and probably stunned both sides of the family. tell us about at and how michele obama's family and the white side of the family reacted to
7:23 pm
the news. >> the first lady has long suspected she had white ancestors in her family tree, like many african-americans do. but she had no idea who they were or where they lived for when they -- where and when they fit in her family's story. so i was able through dna testing to solve that mystery in her family. what i did was trace the descendants of mill the knee at's owners who lived in south carolina and georgia, irish-american families. the first lady's family. i tested them and in fact it is the most ordinary of american stories. the white shields and black shields are related. this is on the first lady's
7:24 pm
mother's side. her mother is marion shields. many americans are making these discoveries with dna testing, just finding these connections through ancestry.com, doing their own genealogy. it is a kind of discovery that many americans are making but it is not an easy one for people. on both sides of the family, this was a hard realization, even though people know these things happen. many members of the first lady's white extended family had no idea their ancestors had known slaves and while many people might like a connection to the white house, this was a most unsettling connection to the white house as you can imagine. it is not something most people expect, to have a reporter not
7:25 pm
on your door and say one of your ancestors may have owned the first lady's ancestors. and some people simply didn't want to talk about it. but some people were willing to grapple with the history and said it would not be what i would have chosen for myself but it is my history even if it is hard history. so some of the white descendants, distant cousins of the first lady went on this journey sharing their memories and records and dna as they explored what happened more than 100 years ago. it was also difficult too for the black side of the family because michele obama's uncle talked about the silence among african-americans, about him trying over and over again to get his elders to talk about what they knew about slavery and
7:26 pm
what they knew about the different colors in the family and where the white ancestry came from and over and over again people refused to talk about it and it is one of these things that is hard for people to talk about even though it resonates still, this experience -- we think it is consigned to history books but it is part of our history. so getting people to talk and wrestle with this is not an easy thing. >> i can imagine. as you say, some people were ok with it and cooperated, and some weren't okay with it. and didn't cooperate. i found that to be very interesting, reading the book, how both sides incorporated that into their histories and both sides response to that were
7:27 pm
similar and different. i enjoyed writing the new york times article that you wrote because some of the photographs were in that article and you could actually see how people on both sides of the family, black-and-white, resembled one another. >> that was one of the things before the dna test results came out. some of the first lady's distant cousin didn't know they were distant cousin then but they were appearing at the photos of the office shields and ancestors, holding them side by side saying -- they were kind of -- i didn't reveal to them the dna results until the very end but by then they were not surprised. >> do we have some photographs to show today? >> we do have some photographs. we will flip through them. >> this is the first lady as a baby with her nuclear family.
7:28 pm
term mother and her father and her brother. this is joan triples, one of the first lady's distant cousins who were willing to go on this journey and shared with me what she knew about the family and her dna as well. this is the great granddaughter of dolphins shields. [inaudible] >> this is a question that just came from the audience. when we are talking about millbeena and her biracial son, what time period we are talking about. this is pearl. nilbeena was remarkably well in life and i was able to interview
7:29 pm
two people who knew her which is astonishing but she lived until 1938 and i found two people who knew her in the last years of her life. golf, her son, born in 1959-1861, he also live the remarkably long life. he died in 1950 and i was able to find three people who knew him as well. this is his daughter who move from birmingham to cleveland, ohio. this is dolphus shields, the first lady's great great grandfather with his son willie. he was biracial as i mentioned and quite a remarkable man in his own right. he was born into slavery in george and moved to birmingham, alabama as a young man where he became quite a notable person. he became a property owner in 1900. he was a carpenter and had his
7:30 pm
own business. he was a founding member of two churches that stand today and still open and running today. when he died the news of his passing was on the front page of the black newspaper. another photo of dolphus shields, dolphus with his extended family. the tombstone of the man who owned millvinia, the tombstone of his son charles, marion shields to the testing suggest was most likely dolphus's father. this move to michelle ng obama's father's side of the family, michelle obama's and and this is steve johnson, the first lady's great-grandmother who traveled
7:31 pm
to four cities, she was a sharecropper's daughter born in 1879 and somewhere along the way she decided she did not want anything to do with the farming life and she was one of the first of michele obama's and sisters to set site on chicago in 1908. this is her husband who was a minister who also lived in chicago. this is the first lady's great great grandmother, and she arrived in illinois some time in the 1860s. the first lady describes herself as a south side girl but the family had no idea their roots in illinois go that far back. if you look at mary, you will understand why the family story says she was part cherokee. she obviously has a mixed
7:32 pm
lineage but i was never able to establish for sure whether that was true. this is the first lady's grandfather, a mislabeled slide, who left south carolina and arrive in chicago around 1931. this is millvinia, the owner of millvinia's brother. this is a photo, this is an amazing coat, there is a nice story behind this one. after the book was published and after an article about the book came out, i got an e-mail from a woman who said i think that might meet my family, my husband's family and i think we have a photograph of them and in fact they did and it was the first photograph that i was able to find of millvinia's owner and
7:33 pm
his family, the shields family. millvinia's owner, henry shields is the older man with the beard and dolphus's father is the well-dressed man with the spectacle standing looking into the distance. it is a remarkable finding. i felt privileged to see it. i will skip to the last one. this is another remarkable moment which was after the book came out clayton county, ga. where millvinia was enslaved your active a monument to commemorate her life and they invited some of her descendants and that the most -- the last moment i thought some of the shields descendants might come and they did and the descendants of a slave and slave owner exchanging numbers, sharing a meal together. i don't know if they will be
7:34 pm
facebook friends for years to come but it was something to see. >> a great slide show. all of the people you mentioned are covered in the book. they all are characters in the book and one thing i found helpful was you do have a chart of michele obama's family tree, you can always look back and say this is how that person relates back to michele obama. but another thing i find interesting about your book is when we talk about slavery in this country we often talk about it as something only of the wealthy class. in other words if you were wealthy afford slaves and if you were a working-class american you didn't really have slaves.
7:35 pm
you referenced thomas jefferson and sally hammons as kind of an example of a wealthy family that owned slaves. butting your book, you bust that miffed because millvinia was a slave of a working-class american, can you talk to was a little bit about that? >> many of us when we think about slavery think about the jeffersons, we think about gone with the wind, the grand manner, the vast plantation. michele obama's family, there were ancestors of hers who had that kind of history, the plantations of south carolina. the family story does expose the enormous variation of life during slavery when -- which is not something we often think about. the shields family that owned millvinia they were not wealthy
7:36 pm
people at all land in some ways that was astonishing to the descendants who said to me we heard those shieldses never had two nickels to rub together. they were not wealthy family. the irish-americans who came some time in the 1700s, worked the land with their own hands, all we ended up owning slaves, shields married the daughter of a wealthy man. when that man with his father-in-law died inherited three slaves. the first lady's great great grandmother and she ended up in a rough rural community in georgia, the vast majority of people were not slave voters, white men worked the fields along the slaves they own if they owned annie and it was quite a different experience than the one we often think
7:37 pm
about. >> it was quite a different experience and i really enjoyed reading about the people of that day, how she worked the fields and the men who owned her worked the fields. i know that you were not able to determine the relationship between millvinia and the men who owned her. and i also know, code of silence. she never talked about it and her descendants never talked about it. i noticed the same thing in her own family and other families as well. it is about wilkerson who wrote about the great migration, the same code of silence in her family.
7:38 pm
what is up with that code of silence? >> this is a painful chapter of american history for many families. so i think at the time, people knew. it would have been very clear to people. the people i met and interviewed who knew millvinia and knew her son knew that she was a dark skin african-american woman who was born into slavery, had these very fair skin sons and no father, no husband around. they suspected but no one talked about it. people who knew dolphus shields suspected his great granddaughter said people whispered in the family that he had a white father but it was again something people just didn't talk about and there was
7:39 pm
a sense among african americans really of trying to move forward, trying to move beyond and not burdening future generations with a painful history, of wanting to have children and grandchildren who had hopes and would find their way with that hope in this country and it is a remarkable story, generations from slavery to the white house. you can sort of understand why people wanted to keep quiet in some ways, but it is a lost art in a lot of ways. >> talking with my own family, i tried and kind of a shame too because children were born out of wedlock and as you say african-american families, trying to move forward and parts of trying to move forward is
7:40 pm
being legitimate and getting an education and making sure that your relationships, people were legitimately married. anything that pointed back words or made you illegitimate was not really something they wanted to talk about and have out there. it is too bad because it closed a lot of doors in our family and that is what you found in michele obama's family. very fortunate, you were able to help and truly open those doors for her family. >> at least with been -- within her family, there are those conversations happening. as i said americans, ordinary
7:41 pm
americans across the country are making these discoveries with dna testing so these conversations are happening around the country. when you talk about marriage and the importance of legitimacy, one of the other stories which talks about the variations of the american experience during slavery was the first lady's family had ancestors who were freed for decades before the civil war and one of the most interesting records i came across was a record which showed those members of her family who after the civil war went to the courthouse and lined up to get their marriages, their relationships legitimized and recognize under the law and the lot of people did that. >> i think that is right too. i wonder, i am curious, how did
7:42 pm
first lady michelle ng obama respond to the news when you talk to her or this was brought to her? >> one of the challenges for those of us writing about the first lady is she is not doing any book interviews at all. i didn't get to talk to her about this but when the article came out, her husband's press secretary was asked about it and said she sounded fascinating. i know her family finds it fascinating and i think it was something they simply -- simply didn't know about. i briefed her staff along the way as i was doing my research and gave her and members of the family, i hope she find it
7:43 pm
fascinating. >> one thing i did read in the new york times when your article was published, she did have a positive reaction to if, and at some point she even traveled to africa with the children to see the places where the slaves were housed or africans when they were imprisoned warehouse before they were taken in the middle passage and across the sea to the americas. it was very interesting that she was curious to follow her roots all the way to africa as well.
7:44 pm
your book has been received positively by a lot of people. harvard professor henry louis gates said that the book gives us an idea, a real true idea of our interconnectedness of all americans, the interconnectedness of all americans and we would have to agree with that. talk to us a little bit about that interconnectedness that you found as you were writing the story? >> the book is called "american tapestry" because really, her family reflects the enormous tapestry we live as americans in all of our families. she is our first african-american first lady who has white ancestry, african ancestry, hints of native american ancestry.
7:45 pm
we often think of this modern contemporary time we live in as an unprecedented period of immigration, interracial marriage, checking as many boxes as you like on the census. when you go back into .., there are whole groups of people classified as a mixed race and all kinds of labels, quadroons, a cruise, this is not new. we think of the president and his heritage, he is the son of a white woman from kansas, african man from kenya, we all have these connections in our families. >> people are interested in researching their own families and their own family trees, what advice can you give them? we may not have the same access
7:46 pm
to expert researchers but what advice can you give them? >> i like to say i am a preacher of the gospel of genealogy because it matters a lot. we often write books about our president and first lady's but what i loved about the first lady's story is her story is about ordinary people, we all have these stories and our families and we shall try and dig them up. so first thing is to try to talk to the older people in our families because we often way too long. don't wait. don't wait. collect those photos and talk to people. collect those records in boxes and old folders somewhere. there are great pools where you can find records and documents
7:47 pm
from your desktop. ancestry.com is a subscriber service which has a fee. familysearch is free. if you know where your family is from you can go to your local courthouse and search for a property records, vital records, birth certificates, marriage certificates. 4 african-americans, many people have fought it is hard and difficult to do and it is because african-americans do not appear in the census until 1870 and people say what about letters and journals and i say slaves were barred by law from being able to read and write and newspapers at the time didn't chronicle marriages and birth and things like that but even so it is difficult. from 1870 on, the census is a great fool and you can find
7:48 pm
these records. >> that is good advice. there was a question earlier about the time frame the book covers. it covers a lot of territory and a lot of events. maybe you can talk about the time frame as well as many different events that happen in the book. >> i looked at her grandparents' and tried to take them back as far as i could. it is mostly the 1800s into the 1700s to world war ii 1950. really the first lady's family had front row seats to the biggest moment in our history. there's talk among deshields family that one of the white shield ancestors fought in the revolutionary war for instance. they were there during the civil
7:49 pm
war, during reconstruction, the migration, segregation, world war ii, big moments in our history. >> there were several characters that really stood out to me. beebe was one of them. if i haven't -- if i have it right, she was born in a very small town and would have been a sharecropper but had her sights on the big city. as you say there were quarters and the lives they lead, led, some of that has been glamorized but reading your book, they worked day and night sometimes for three hours, so i got a real view of that. the other thing i liked as you pull in the different characters and put them in different places
7:50 pm
you also talked about the black newspapers of the day. tell us how important they were. >> the first lady's family ended up in chicago quite early. great migration you often think about after world war i. her great-grandmother was there by 1908. folks came in the 20s and 30s and as a resource they did live in chicago, lucky to have the chicago defender which was -- which advocated -- calls people to move north. the newspaper from that time gives you a portrait of what life was like and it was invaluable. >> i think we are going to move to our q&a at this point in time. let's give rachel a big hand first.
7:51 pm
>> thank you. [applause] >> you are welcome to move to the mike. >> hello. i don't know if this is gone. there we are. i am from a presidential family of slaveholders. i have been doing a lot of research into the families of people my family held in bondage and i become in a group called coming to the table. are you aware of this group? is an online group that seeks to connect the families of enslaved people and families of an slavers. i find it to be a powerful experience. i am wondering if you think thi.
7:52 pm
>> i hope it promotes conversation. a lot of what i found on both sides of the first lady's family, black-and-white, was a lot of silence. we should talk more about it. i am not naive to think one book even about a historic first lady is going to solve everything. if it sparks some conversation, that would be a good thing. in talking to some of the first lady's distant cousins, some people, even our conversations were i think meaningful and fascinating. some of them looked at me. i am a journalist with a new york times. what they saw was an
7:53 pm
african-american woman and they worry would i be fair to their people? 1-woman said to me michele obama has said that she is the descendant of slaves and slave owners and she embraces the history, that is her story and they said to me she is on the right side of history and we are on the wrong side of history. but even when these descendants and i were having these conversations and they were looking at me as someone on the other side, being able to talk about it was a good thing. so the website you are talking about sounds fascinating. is a great thing. >> i would like to talk to you -- thank you. >> i was wondering. does the dna testing since you were able to take it back to irish-americans, you able to use
7:54 pm
that in africa to see what region she is descended, from one area in africa? >> it is not as precise as one would like. in fact the family, the white descendants actually know the history, they know they are irish-americans and deshields were all shields at one point and the dna certainly suggest west africa but that is a very common thing. beyond that i couldn't be precise unfortunately. >> anyone else? this is your big chance. [inaudible] >> the question was how did i do
7:55 pm
this dna testing. you don't knock on the door of the white house and ask the first lady for her dna. i knew dolphus shields was her great great-grandfather. the research suggested the other's son was likely the father, she was living next to him in 1870. she continued to have biracial children after the war and so i tracked down dolphus's descendants and descendants of the shield family and there was a match. >> i'm curious in reference to you reference the civil war as one of the important events word their ancestors who possibly fought on both sides of the
7:56 pm
battle and what legacy has been left within a family? >> the shields, irish-american shields did fight for the confederacy. there -- there are a number of voters sons who fought with the confederate army. on the union's side, not a blood relative but a man who had a formative influence on her life joined the union army and was involved with some notable battles. on the first lady's father's side, there is an ancestor. sometimes making these connections is difficult. someone who i think is an ancestor who joined the union army around the time slavery was
7:57 pm
ended. kind of making that link was unclear but not an easy thing. the records are there in terms of the civil war service of those ancestors and the descendants didn't know about that. >> you talk a lot about dna testing. with a book like this and your research have been possible before dna testing? >> good question. it certainly helped. we would have had circumstantial evidence that would have suggested the first lady's white ancestors came from the shield's family that owned millvinia but there would be no way to know for sure. 20 first century technology is what helped unravel -- ten years ago i wouldn't have been able to

write this book in the way that it is now. >> any more questions? we have a little time left. i just wanted to say something about the book that made me think, but here in texas, looking at its history, particularly the history of slavery and how texas developed, i didn't know but someone shared with me that there was an incentive to have slaves here in texas among regular people because as the land was given away the mexican government giving of land away was based on how many people were in your group. if you could bring slaves, then you would get more land, regular

The New Orleans Saints elected their season captains Monday.
One won't surprise you a bit. Quarterback Drew Brees is a captain (as well as a New Orleans icon and unofficial member of the coaching staff).
But the list of captains was made up of two offensive players, two defensive players and one from special teams and I think they're somewhat telling.
Right tackle Zach Strief was selected as the other offensive captain. I think this shows how far Strief has come. He joined the Saints in 2006 and was almost entirely a backup until starting 11 games last year. Looks like Strief has done a good job of gaining the respect of his teammates.
The defensive captains are safeties Malcolm Jenkins and Roman Harper. In addition to being captains, they have one other distinction. They each went through last season without an interception. I think the fact they were elected captains shows their teammates think the safeties will take on more important roles with new defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo.
Receiver/return man Courtney Roby was elected as the captain for special teams.

What is FlexPay
FlexPay is Universal Orlando's Flexible Payment Option. This program allows you to purchase Annual Passes or a Seasonal Pass with one initial down payment and spread the remainder of your total over 11 months. (Online processing fees do not apply to Annual Passes or Seasonal Passes purchased using the FlexPay program.)
Can I order my Universal Orlando™ Annual Pass or Seasonal Pass using FlexPay online? If so, what is the process?
Yes, you can order your Universal Orlando™ Annual Pass or Universal Orlando™ Seasonal Pass using FlexPay through our online store. To order online follow these easy steps:
1. Choose how many passes you would like to purchase. (limit 6)
2. Select any add-ons you would like to add to your cart. (optional)
3. Register Passholder information for each pass.
4. Select your desired delivery method.
5. Agree to the terms and conditions in your FlexPay contract.
6. Order with the credit card you want used for monthly payments.
When does my year start? When will I be charged?
Your annual pass or seasonal pass will begin with the date of first use not the date of purchase.
After you enter into your FlexPay contract, your credit card will be charged approximately the same day every month. For example, if the first payment is taken on the 10th of the month, all subsequent payments will be charged approximately on 10th of the month. Your renewal payment will be charged on your normal monthly bill date.
What happens at the end of my 12 month term?
Flexible Payment Annual Passes and/or Seasonal Passes automatically renew at the end of the 12 month billing period. After the initial 12 month term, monthly payments are subject to change because you won't be charged a down payment when you renew. Pricing is subject to change.
In order to cancel the automatic renewal at the completion of your first year, you must submit written notification 30 days prior to the end of your contract. If you do not, we will continue your membership by charging the card you provided on a month to month basis. After your first year, you can cancel your annual pass at any point with written notification 30 days prior to your next monthly billing cycle.
Please contact the Annual Pass Department with any questions about renewal or cancellation.
Are there any finance charges for participation in the FlexPay program?
Universal Orlando does not charge any finance charges, and the price of the Annual Pass or Seasonal Pass is the same if you purchase it outright or participate in Universal's FlexPay program.
Can I change or postpone my bill date?
No, unfortunately payments can not be postponed. The bill date for your contract can not be changed.
Please contact the Annual Pass Department at 1-888-5-FLEXPAY or email firstname.lastname@example.com should you have any additional questions.

Carlsbad Caverns National Park, New Mexico
Explore This Subterranean Psychedelic World
Nick Parisse
Dr. Seuss, even in his wildest dreams, couldn't have created anything as surreal and wonderful as a natural cave formation. Entering any of Carlsbad Caverns National Park's 113 caves is like entering a larger-than-life sandcastle -- a psychedelic world where drips of sand have been transformed into a twisting, turning, myriad structure of peaks and spires.
You May Also Like
Natural Bridge CavernsGo 211 feet underground to see the deepest part of the largest caverns in Texas. Natural Bridge Caverns -- located near New Braunfels, TX -- continues to be an active and growing cavern system, with water flows causing the underground formations to retain their waxy luster. Visitors can take several different types of guided tours, including the Bracken Bat Flight Tour for an up-close view of the Bracken Cave, home to the world's largest bat colony. 960 1280
Meramec CavernsWhile camping in Missouri's Ozark Mountains, we recommend a trip to Meramec Caverns to see how an ancient limestone "Wine Table" and an entire 7-story mansion were built underground. In addition to these unique attractions, pre-Columbian Native American artifacts have also been found in the caverns, formed from the erosion of large limestone deposits millions of years ago. Every year, more than 150,000 visitors walk through the 4.6-mile cavern system. 960 1280
Caverns of SonoraHalfway between Big Bend National Park and San Antonio, TX, the Caverns of Sonora is one of the most active caves in the world, with more than 95% of its formations still growing. Outdoor enthusiasts can camp in a tent or RV nearby. You can't leave this natural landmark without tasting fresh cream and butter fudge made at the caverns. 960 1280
Moaning CavernLocated in Vallecito, CA, Moaning Cavern received its mysterious name from what some believe to be a moaning sound from the cave that lured gold miners to the entrance in the 1850s. Today, visitors can take a walking tour or rappel down a 165-foot-tall vertical shaft located in the cavern's main chamber. Moaning Cavern is home to some of the oldest human remains discovered in America; it is the final resting place for the bodies of prehistoric people who fell into its opening. 960 1280
Polar CavesThe Polar Caves were created about 50,000 years ago when a continental glacier descended over the White Mountains in Rumney, NH, creating an amazing series of caves and passageways. In addition to exploring the caves, families can go on a scavenger hunt for minerals and hidden gems at the Klondike Mine, walk the nature trails to learn about local Native American tribes and visit the Maple Sugar House and Museum. 960 1280
Mammoth CaveWith its vast chambers and complex labyrinths, Mammoth Cave National Park is home to the world's longest known cave system, which measures more than 400 miles long. The park offers a variety of guided cave tours -- including a ranger-led nature trek for kids -- as well as camping, horseback riding, biking and other activities to explore the beauty of Kentucky's Green River Valley. 960 1280
Carlsbad Cavern National ParkVisit Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico to see more than 118 known caves formed when sulfuric acid dissolved the surrounding limestone over millions of years. Most of the formations found inside Carlsbad Cavern were active and growing during the last ice age, when there were pine forests above the cave. 960 1280
Ohio CavernsOne of Ohio's most popular tourist attractions, Ohio Caverns features some of most colorful crystals in the US. It's an all-day family adventure at this 35-acre park. It's not uncommon to see visitors panning for gemstones and minerals. A limestone, tree, historic and natural wonders tour are also available for amateur explorers. 960 1280
Kartchner Caverns State ParkExplore the natural beauty of Kartchner Caverns Park in Arizona. And below, hidden from view, explore 2.4-mile passages that were discovered by local archaeologists in 1974. The Throne Room and the Big Room are the 2 major features of the caverns. The Throne Room contains the world's longest soda straw stalactites and a 58-foot-high column called Kubla Khan. The Big Room is closed during the summer each year because it is a nursery roost for over 1,000 cave bats. 960 1280
Luray CavernsMore than a million and a half visitors from around the world visit Virginia's Luray Caverns every year. This subterranean wonderland has paved pathways for people to stroll through the caverns to see Giant's Hall, Frozen Fountain, Dream Lake, Saracen's Tent, the Stalacpipe Organ and more! 960 1280
Jewel CaveSouth Dakota's Jewel Cave is the third-longest cave in the world, with over 166 miles of passages. Fun fact: The largest room discovered in Jewel Cave is called the "Big Duh," which measures 570 feet long, 180 feet wide at its widest point and 30 feet tall. We recommend the wild caving tour for experienced cavers. During this strenuous, 3- to 4-hour tour, visitors learn about low-impact caving, caving techniques, caving safety and equipment. 960 1280
Lost Sea CavernsHead to Sweetwater, TN, to visit the largest non-subglacial underground lake in the US (and the second largest in the world) called The Lost Sea. Most cavers may know this cave system as Craighead Caverns, located in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains and named after Chief Craighead, the former owner and Cherokee Indian. A wide range of Cherokee artifacts, including pottery, weapons and jewelry, are located a mile from the cavern's entrance. Don't miss seeing the tracks of a giant Pleistocene jaguar whose tracks were found deep inside the cave in 1939. 960 1280
Blanchard Springs CavernsLocated below Arkansas' Ozark National Park, Blanchard Springs Caverns offers different levels of tours for amateurs and professional cave dwellers. Tours wind through water-carved passages, including an underground river and the world's largest flowstone. The cave is often called the "living cave" because it is constantly changing. 960 1280
Ape CaveExplore the longest, continuous lava tube in the US. Washington State's Ape Cave -- a popular hiking destination with spectacular views of Mt. St. Helens – was formed from volcanoes of the Cascade Mountain Range in western North America. One popular spot in the 2-mile passageway includes a formation called "Meatball," a block of cooled lava that fell from the lava tube ceiling while lava was still flowing through the cave. 960 1280
Niagara CaveLocated in Harmony, MN, Niagara Cave has been rated one of the Top 10 caves in the US by travel media outlets. It features a 60-foot waterfall, a sluice to mine for gemstones and fossils, a 10-acre picnic area and hiking trails. And for couples looking for a place to tie the knot, this cave also features a wedding chapel. 960 1280

Imagine seeing the world from the inside out, and perhaps you've unknowingly pictured the park's caves. The classic movie Journey to the Center of the Earth was partially filmed in Carlsbad Caverns National Park. These underground labyrinths will entertain caving enthusiasts and novices alike with both self-guided and guided tours of the caves. Amateurs may breathe a sigh of relief upon seeing the elevators, electric lights and paved paths in Carlsbad Cavern's Big Room, while experts are in for an adventure with one of the park's Wild Cave Tours that takes them up rope ladders, through crevices and into rarely seen nooks and crannies of the caves. Carlsbad Caverns will delight visitors with their array of speleothems, or cave formations that include gypsum chandeliers, hairs and beards, soda straws, balloons and cave pearls.
The park's aboveground resources are no less spectacular. Rattlesnake Springs is a mini-oasis in the midst of the desert brush -- an area rich in birds, reptiles, mammals and butterflies. Also of note are the summer's evening bat flights. Carlsbad Caverns National Park is home to an infamous colony of hundreds of thousands of migratory Mexican free-tailed bats that emerge nightly from their homes in the caverns.
Geological History
Some 250 million years ago, a sea covered the region that is now the Chihuahuan Desert, and over time, a horseshoe-shaped, 400-mile-long inland reef was formed. The reef developed from layered remains of sponges, algae, seashells and calcite but was later buried under deposits of salts and gypsum as the sea receded. Tectonic forces pushed the buried rock layers up and erosion wore away softer minerals to expose the ancient reef as the Guadalupe Mountains. Deep underground, a brine originating from oil and gas deposits and rich in hydrogen sulfide was forced into cracks in the limestone. When this brine encountered oxygen-rich rainwater moving down through the rock, it created sulfuric acid. This acid dissolved the limestone creating cave passages. As the Guadalupe Mountains continued to lift up, the water drained out of the cave allowing fresh water to percolate through and leave minerals on the ceiling, walls, and floors that we know as cave decorations (i.e., stalagmites, stalactites, columns, cave pearls, flowstone).
Park Activities
Carlsbad Caverns' most popular activity is, of course, the cavern tours. A number of guided cave tours are available through the various caverns, but for a real taste of caving a Wild Cave Tour fits the bill. During these strenuous tours, participants engage in belly crawls, ladder climbs, pool crossings, tight crawls and free climbing. Two self-guided tours are also available and include highlights such as Devil's Spring, the Boneyard, Temple of the Sun and Rock of Ages.

Flagstaff students paint snowplow blades
FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. — Snowplows in the City of Flagstaff are sporting a new look thanks to some local schools.
The paint-a-plow idea came from heavy machine operator for the city, Scott Goodwin.
"I'm a retired police officer and one thing that I learned in my police career is that, if you want to establish new community partnerships and relationships, one of the best ways to do it is to start with the next generation," he said.
Goodwin enlisted the help from local schools and they were on board with the plan. From mountain scenes, to animals, to a set of huge blue eyes, the children let their creativity flow. As a result, six city snowplows were transformed into rolling, multi-ton works of art.
As the snow comes, and the plows do their duty, the artwork fades away, but this is a special program Goodwin said Flagstaff will continue in years to come.

We got a ton of email this week concerning my column about Leslie Kelly, "The Dumbest Lawsuit in Web History." (Discussion of the issue is continuing on the ClickZ Forum and I encourage you all to join it.)
As of this writing, however, nearly all the comment has gone against me.
Danny Sullivan of SearchEngineWatch.com wrote one of the longer, more thoughtful notes, saying that I "made wide ranging and incorrect statements that trivialized the real concerns that artists have" and dismissed a lawsuit "that has real implications for all web site owners, not just artists." He went on to say that firewalls are impractical, and that while digital watermarks might identify stolen art, it doesn't prevent the theft.
Other critics weren't so kind – the words "unforgivable," "shameful" and "travesty" were all used. (Here's a surprise – no one used words that couldn't be repeated in a family newspaper. Give yourselves a hand for that!) The fact is the column hit a nerve. So let's examine this pain and see what it means.
In his "Project Xanadu," a hypertext project that pre-dated the web by 20 years, Ted Nelson made protection of intellectual property rights a key feature. Nelson has also developed a format called "transpublishing" designed to protect both links and property rights online.
Unfortunately, Tim Berners-Lee's World Wide Web took form in the academic environment of CERN, where sharing is essential, and the penalty for theft is merely exile from the community. The commercial web has no such penalty, and not everyone shares CERN's academic values. So lots of people look to make money off others' intellectual resources.
When I wrote of Kelly's lawsuit, I equated it to the enjoining of links, and said his success would make the web illegal. Over the last few years many companies have tried to prevent free linking, and each attempt has made me angrier. Whether the attempt was made by Ticketmaster, Universal Studios or eBay, my response was always the same – if you don't want people linking to your stuff, take it off the public web.
Several asked how I would feel if someone stole my articles, or my entire web site, spreading my stuff for their profit. In fact this type of theft is fairly common, and site owners feel especially victimized when someone in another country "site-jacks" them. The question is, Does hosting pictures on its own web site make Ditto.com a "site-jacker"? Personally, I don't think so. I have yet to find an image on Ditto.com that was large enough to be commercial in and of itself. If you right-click your mouse button on any web image, one of the standard options is to download it (or turn it into screen wallpaper). It's been that way for five years – I haven't seen Mr. Kelly's suit against Microsoft and Netscape.
Now, there are ways to protect against that right click. The problem is these protections aren't intuitive, and it seems to many people that you can't get the protection without limiting the distribution of knowledge that makes the web work. Tomorrow I'll bring in a leading expert to propose another solution to the problem.

Three Paris walks and retail therapy
... We went past the opera house on the way to dropping our purchases off at the hotel. David and Sonya left us to visit Pasteur's house while we walked to the left bank after viewing Notre Dame. Built in the 12th century it has now been cleaned and is very impressive both inside and out. After lunch in a park we joined a Paris Walks tour of the Medieval Latin quarter. The guide was very impressive and entertaining giving details of the first to ...

The waitress will make you as many coffees as you like , it's a help yourself service for nibbles, cake ,toast as much as you can eat ,wifi for 4 euro per person and a clean loo .

Chateau Malmaison & Arch de Triomphe
... one bus group there but it weren't too many people. As you can see from the photos it's still quite a large place. It had massive grounds too. They bought it with 150 acres of grounds. It cost them 300,000 francs. Josephine bought it with Napoleon's money while he was in Egypt!! It was quite nice inside – my photos don't really do it justice I'm afraid.

The principal reason for jumping off here was not to join more queues and see the Mona Lisa.

|[jira] Created: (HADOOP-3392) Corrupted blocks leading to job failures
|Wed, 14 May 2008 21:19:55 GMT
Corrupted blocks leading to job failures ---------------------------------------- Key: HADOOP-3392 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-3392 Project: Hadoop Core Issue Type: Improvement Affects Versions: 0.16.0 Reporter: Christian Kunz On one of our clusters we ended up with 11 singly-replicated corrupted blocks (checksum errors) such that jobs were failing because of no live blocks available. fsck reports the system as healthy, although it is not. I argue that fsck should have an option to check whether under-replicated blocks are okay. Even better, the namenode should automatically check under-replicated blocks with repeated replication failures for corruption and list them somewhere on the GUI. And there should be an option to undo the corruption and recompute the checksums. Question: Is it at all probable that two or more replications of a block have checksum errors? If not, then we could reduce the checking to singly-replicated blocks. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.

Jeffco Public Schools could be turning to voters as early as next year for a tax increase to offset recent declines in state funding.
A citizen panel tasked with evaluating community support presented the school board Sept. 2 with a tentative plan for a bond issue and mill-levy increase. The panel said about $500,000 in private funding would be needed for the campaign to win approval for the measures.
A man who shot, killed and gutted an elk in his front yard near Chief Hosa Lodge on Saturday morning had an elk-hunting permit and violated no laws, although some neighbors were upset that he was shooting so close to nearby houses.
"It was a legal hunting area. He had the license to take an elk. Everything was on the up and up," said Jennifer Churchill, a spokeswoman for the Colorado Division of Wildlife.
Still, some neighbors were upset.
Evergreen resident Dan Maes announced Friday afternoon that he will stay in the governor's race as the Republican nominee, despite pressure from the party and others to drop out.
Maes, who upset Scott McInnis in the GOP primary in August, has been under fire for a growing list of problems. He faces Democrat John Hickenlooper and Constitution Party latecomer Tom Tancredo in the Nov. 2 election.
Maes said in a news release that he decided to stay in the race after consulting with supporters and detractors.
Groups backing a community garden in Buchanan Park have permission to start digging up turf and preparing the soil this fall to be ready to plant in the spring, if they can work out a contract with the park district by the Sept. 28 board meeting.
The Evergreen Park and Recreation District board gave preliminary approval for a scaled-down version of a community garden of about 12,000 square feet, or one quarter of an acre.
All Jeffco libraries normally open seven days a week, including the Evergreen Public Library, will be closed on Mondays beginning in 2011 as administrators try to reduce the operating budget by about $3 million over the next two years.
Library officials are forced to cut the budget because of increased employee benefit costs, lower county tax revenues and an expected 7 percent reduction in assessed property values beginning in 2012.
An eclectic selection of serious Colorado wineries was on hand for the first Bootstraps Western Winefest on Sunday at the Evergreen Rodeo Grounds.
The event attracted 17 wineries and 33 art, retail and food vendors, said Rob Potrykus, the volunteer event director and board member of Bootstraps Inc., which provides mountain area high school graduates with college scholarships. The Evergreen Rodeo Association donated use of the rodeo grounds to Bootstraps for the day.
Ahh, September in Evergreen. Warm sunny days, cool fragrant nights, amorous elk bugling at all hours, and summer's largely untouched to-do list demanding immediate satisfaction.
Sure, you could blow these precious weekends changing furnace filters and mucking out gutters, or you could do the sensible thing and, on Sunday the 19th, grab September by both crisp lapels and head over to the second annual Oktoberfest at Evergreen Lake.
Some 1,120 riders took to the windy mountain roads of Conifer, Evergreen and Kittredge early Sunday as the inaugural Deer Creek Challenge bike ride got rolling at 5:30 a.m.
The riders were greeted civilly, if not happily, by local residents, with few outward signs of the contentious, longstanding battle between motorists and bicyclists over use of narrow foothills roads. But the controversy was never far below the surface.
If it's September, it must be time for OktoberPets, the major annual fund-raiser for the Evergreen Animal Protective League, which finds foster homes and provides veterinary care for abandoned animals.
This year the nonprofit is auctioning a special weekend vacation and private log cabin for two at the 7D Ranch near Yellowstone National Park, 50 miles northwest of Cody, Wyo.
OktoberPets will be at 5 p.m. Friday, Sept. 10, at the Evergreen Elks Lodge, 27972 Iris Drive.
The 19-year-old Evergreen man accused of murder in the death of his 24-year-old sister Elizabeth on Hilltop Drive on April 8 pleaded not guilty to all charges in Jefferson County District Court on Monday.
The not-guilty plea paves the way for a trial, which is scheduled to begin at 8 a.m. Jan. 21 with jury selection. A pretrial conference was set for 10 a.m. Nov. 15 in District Judge Margie Enquist's courtroom.

When I renovated an old peony bed on my mom's old property, the peonies
were buried in weeds and needed dividing. This was early spring, not
the time to transplant peonies, but I needed to make a new bed for
spring arrivals! I removed every other peony in the row of about eight.
I replanted or gave away the extra plants. Most were so large that I
divided them in thirds first. For the remaining peonies, I had weeded
as many of the weeds and grasses that were growing in between the
enormous roots systems. Every time I saw some new weds emerging, I
pulled them out. Then I placed mulch as close to the plant crown as
possible in order to help keep a new crop of weed seeds from sprouting.
All of the transplanted peonies bloomed the same year! The old peonies
looked beautiful after given some TLC! Also, I kept some in pots for a
month or more until I got around to planting them. Just don't bury the
roots in too much soil or they may rot.
