Let me explain, I would not want to deprive anyone of the pleasure that researching a family history brings. I always encourage any researcher to do as much as they can themselves. It can be a hugely rewarding, emotional, and humbling experience.
Discovering your family history is an invaluable legacy for future generations and captures the soul of those generations gone before.
Of course, there is the time commitment, the cost, the frustrations, arguments with loved ones, late nights and so on – but hey, at least you enjoyed it. I'm kidding; it does take dedication but, the rewards can be great. And, with so many resources being made available on-line, much can be done from home. However, as many researchers come to realize, it is often how these discoveries are interpreted and what conclusions can be drawn from them that can determine the success of any research.
The pursuit of family history is born from a desire to carve out a place for a family in the larger historical picture. It is accepting responsibility to preserve one's past for those who will follow in the future and it is the self-satisfaction in accurate story telling.
Irish ancestry is thought to be more challenging than that of other nations and in some respects that is true. In part, due to the loss of so many records in a fire of 1922, Ireland does not have the same depth of surviving records. On-line sources continue to grow and assist our efforts but, it can still be a challenge and there will always be less accessible important documents.
So, when should we engage the services of a professional researcher? That will depend on each individual case and can be influenced by factors, such as:
- Time is precious and some researchers cannot commit the time to achieve their objectives or, research needs to be done for an imminent family event such as a birthday. Experienced Irish genealogists, working daily with relevant resources have developed a knowledge and skill that enables them to plan, research, discover, and report in a fraction of the time it might otherwise take.
- Cost is a major factor for many who decide to do their own research until they discover the myriad of costs involved not to mention man hours over many years. A genealogist in Ireland suddenly looks like very good value which. It can be a question of how much is your time worth.
- The location of repositories in Ireland means that, for some records and documents, a visit is necessary or, the engagement of someone on the ground. If you are visiting Ireland, it makes sense to have a professional complete your research in advance so that you can spend your vacation visiting locations of interest rather than in dusty repositories.
- Passion and getting too emotionally involved in research clouds judgment and is the main cause of roadblocks. Trying to make something fit a family story rather than finding evidence to support or disprove it or, holding a belief that "it simply must be true" are the main errors. A professional genealogist can be more dispassionate and realistic about the value of discoveries and about admitting failure. It can save a lot of time and frustration.
- Ability. Some researchers learn their genealogical skill along the way and become very accomplished. For others, regardless of their skill level, there comes a realization that the continued effort is outweighed by the benefit of engaging a skilled researcher. Their extended knowledge and expertise enables them to consider information quickly and make links that others may not see. Even for short projects or just advice on any part of your research, a genealogist can help.
Few Professional Irish Genealogy Researchers will have an extensive working knowledge of every aspect of such a broad subject. Most will specialize in particular areas such as locations, time periods, occupations or immigrant country e.g. at Irish family ancestry, we specialize in descendant research, i.e. identifying living relatives of discovered ancestors in Ireland.
The point at which to engage an Irish genealogist will vary. Some will have researched their ancestors back to Ireland but get stuck. Others will have only sketchy details that may require research to start overseas before searching in Ireland. Each project will be unique with different research objectives.
It is the standard of proof that a professional genealogist can demonstrate that guarantees the authority of your family history. It is the genealogists' ability to identify the appropriate sources to search, decide what is relevant, analyze information, collate, connect, discard, make sense of it, and present in a comprehensible format. This is what genealogists get their fee for.
So, why use a professional Irish genealogist? You shouldn't, until you are ready to.

Is it okay to break a law just because you disagree with it?
Well. well... well.... here's a nice little topic for ya to think for a little longer then 5 seconds.
- Again I found this on slickdeals
Here ya go -- Go Debate on this till everyone's mad.
Here's some rules - (that's if anyone reads this first post after the 20th post)
#1. No short answers, unless you can plainly support it.
#2. Follow rule #1
#3. Avoid unnecessary flaming.
#4. Do as rule #3 says.
#5. Enjoy this thread. ^_^
As anyone might be able to decifer the exactness of both scenarios, and the meanings that it was suppose it mean are so closely related the difference between them are nano meters apart. I personlly couldn't find much differences, so its yas turn.
ps: I'll refine this thread later. Enjoy.
If one is protesting an unjust law, and is willing to accept the consequences, it's ok to break it. This does not apply to things like bank robbery or murder obviously. I'd also say if a law is unenforced, it's also ok, as that means no one particulary cares about it. Besides, there are some strange laws on the books in many places.:heh:
What was that about copyright infringement? Hey! What's that behind you?!! *Dash* :heh:
The latter scenario degrades people's respect for the law and sets a precedent that it is fine for any speed limit to be broken. The former can cause the same effect if repeated enough.
I disagree with most of the law
i think its bullshit i got to go to school
because i should have the freedom to chose what i want to do
I think getting in a fight with someone shouldnt mean more cops
caus i have many problems with many people, and what hurt does fighting do if sum ppl r just asking for it?
thats justice, and if we could pick our fights like that it would save the law the trouble of trying to fight us.
#2. No police force means anyone can pick a fight with anyone else regardless of how they justify it, or whether they even care about justice at all. i.e. someone can walk up and shoot you for no reason. Is it justice? If they say it is, then it is because there's noone to contest it. That's the kind of logic that started the holocaust.
Laws are there for a reason, no matter how trivial it may seem. If you justify breaking a law for any reason, then it will simply continue to cascade. Even if you believe a law is blatantly wrong, there is no reason why you should believe that you can get away with breaking it as if we do not accept responsibility for our actions it will lead to an inevitably crash of the social order. The status quo is here for a reason, if a law is in place then it is in place for a reason. It's why in debate the neg side is impossible to lose if you understand the game.
The system is there to inact what is seen as the most reasonable form of 'justice' if we were all to choose anarchy it is doubtless that our current social structure would collapse upon itself.
You will always have the freedom to dissent, but in doing so it is critical to also understand that you will be punished as the justice system sees fit.
I know how to read
i dont think i need anymore learning
by now its just borin crap
and i said fight, not shooting =/
though i say if theres evidence sum1 was provoking u, and u shot them u shouldnt get in trouble.
And how do you define 'provoking'? Is calling you names provoking? Is flirting with your girlfriend provoking? Is just looking at you the wrong way provoking? If you don't have a definition of what 'provoking' is, then anybody can shoot anybody for anything.
Laws are completely necessary for large groups of people to co-exist. It would be impossible to maintain a technological civilisation without them, let alone create one in the first place.
Of course, whether you choose to obey those laws or not is entirely up to you. But by choosing not to obey them, you are placing yourself outside the bounds of your community and should expect to take the consequences of that. You have to decide whether disobeying the law you choose to is worth the possible penalty of doing so.
Personally I don't believe shooting a person could be justified if they say...gave you the finger. :eyebrow:
It's not that I'm against civil disobedience, I just believe you must accept the responsibilities. We as a whole need a reality check I think, rather then the laws themselves. Every action has a reaction, and people need to understand that, without standardized law there will be chaos. :Upset:
Of course I could be grasping what you are trying to say incorrectly and if that's the case then you have my apologies.I've had so much work dumped on me in preparation of finals and APs that I my ability to comprehend things correctly decided to take a day off. :heh:
The government will break under the weight of its people and can't make martyrs out of everyone. Not only do I believe laws you do not agree with should be broken, but you should encourage others to break this law until the injustice of this law is made absolutely clear.
I go to school in the u.s, since it says i live in CT (the poor area :(, poor as in i cant even afford to go to college so wuts the point. i dont know any1 that went anyways)
lik if sum1 talks shit about u, and u go and u jump them. Than u get in trouble. I got suspended for pushin my teacher out the way caus i wanted to leave class b4 i took out my razor i had (didnt say i had tho, and i didnt get caught with it) and slashed this kid that was pisin me off. I should have the rit to fuck that kid up, and to push people who try to baricade me.
i like anarchy =/
i work best in confusion,
i can take advantage of situations easier on my own :)
the law doesnt protect me,
the law hidners me :(
To the first, I'd call it a self-fulfilling prophecy. If you don't want to do the work to get away from it, or you don't see the paths that you can take, you won't get there. To the second ... I'd say that's both childish and morally reprehensible. But I wouldn't say so to your face, out of the pragmatic realization that you'd probably react by trying to stab me in the neck with a pencil or something stupid like that. As for the assertion that you don't need any more education, I mean no offense, but a brief examination of your writing style says otherwise :p. Regardless, I'm not your guidance counselor (nor your parole officer), and I'm probably not going to convince you of anything.
To the question at hand, I think it's your moral responsibility to break laws that are truly unjust. Particularly, it's your responsibility to break laws you feel are unjust when they involve the lives of other people in a direct way. However, there's a fine line between "unjust law" and "simply idiotic law", and it's important to pick your battles appropriately. I wouldn't give the "civil disobedience" label to someone driving 20 over the limit (in very many cases, speed limits are stupid laws -- particularly on US interstates), or driving drunk or recklessly firing a handgun in a city (both potentially very harmful to innocent people). I would, however, give it to a conscientious objector refusing to participate in military service, or a soldier refusing an order that he believes to be unjust.
The most important part of civil disobedience, in my opinion, is that you aren't harming others by with it. After all ... if the law you're protesting to prevents you from harming others, it's probably not going to meet the criteria for an unjust law.
i was gonna slash him, but i chose to leave the class.
however the teacher saying i cant leave and blockin the way just made another problem
they had popo up in there (i not afraid of them, i find it kinda funny that they think every1 so intimidated by them. "young man show sum respect, u kno wut i can do" lmao).
also as u can tell, i find it easier to type like such. I have the mental capacity to type in such an appropriate manor, however its rather pointless. I believe to disrespect someone due to their typing is quite immature, and it shows your insecurites with your esteem. Does it make you feel better to belittle me?
anyways i think that the law is a lil to uptight,
i mean its ridiculous all the things i get in trouble for =/
With that behavior and attitude I sure that you will get plenty of job skills training in prison.
but i did not try to get smart for nuthin
unlik many ppl here, i hav one goal in life
and me and my bestfriend swore on our lives to uphold this goal.
it gives me a purpose, and its probally the reason i'm not in jail now

I am on my way to Miami right now for the Cotton 24 Hour Runway Show!! As soon as I check into the hotel I have to start getting ready for the night's festivities! There will be a welcome reception on the rooftop which includes a photo shoot and video with people.com!! I think it's all starting to sink in as I sit here on the plane. I worked really hard to get to this point and I am very thankful for all of my amazing supporters for helping me along the way. I am feeling nothing but good energy right now and I have butterflies in my stomach!
Here's a quick selfie I shot in the airport bathroom :) I always love traveling with comfort and style! Although I know I will probably be sweating once I land lol. I have been so used to the cold Jersey weather though. Being in the warmth for a few days is going to feel great.
Wearing a Nirvana Tee from Forever21 (repping cotton!) I am loving this new bag I got from H&M. It's huge and the perfect carry on. I was able to fit my macbook as well as my other belongings in it. And of course, I've got my canon with me too! I don't think I have ever stressed packing for a trip as much as this one. I don't even know what's in my luggage at this point lol I hope you all like the cotton looks that I came up with for the events out here! As I mentioned in the last post it was a little bit of a challenge for me. I will be taking as many pics as I can and documenting my trip on film with fellow blogger Sazan from SpazMag! She won for the South region! When we get back from Miami she is going to do a really cool edit of the footage and I can't wait to share that with all of you. Thanks again for all of the support and I will be posting again soon!

FERPA Online Library
|MS Word (27 KB)
October 11, 2005
Brad Bartel, Ph.D.
Fort Lewis College
2500 Berndt Hall
1000 Rim Drive
Durango, Colorado 81301-3999
Dear Dr. Bartel:
This responds to your December 10, 2004, letter in which you advised this Office of an unauthorized disclosure of information from students' education records by a professor at Fort Lewis College (College). This office administers the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), 20 U.S.C. § 1232g, and provides technical assistance to educational agencies and institutions to ensure compliance with the statute and regulations, which are codified at 34 CFR Part 99.
Your letter states that a faculty member published an article in which student term papers were quoted with students identified by first name and tribal affiliation. You indicated that the scope of this violation was small in that the personally identifiable information would be apparent only to those who were in the classroom and to select individuals on campus. You explained further that this disclosure was an aberration and that the College has a standard practice of training faculty and staff on FERPA compliance on a bi-annual basis, along with various emails through the year. According to your letter, the College has also undertaken a two-part solution to avoid any further FERPA violations by adding workshops for existing and new faculty as needed, and defining and posting a list of documents that are defined as "educational records."
Under FERPA, no funds administered by the Secretary of Education shall be made available to an educational agency or institution that has a policy or practice or disclosing education records, or personally identifiable information from education records, without the prior written consent of a parent except as authorized by law. 20 U.S.C. § 1232g(b)(1) and (b)(2). While the law does not prescribe specific methods to be used to protect education records from unauthorized access or disclosure, the prohibition in FERPA against disclosing personally identifiable information from education records without consent clearly does not allow an educational agency or institution to leave education records unprotected, whether in paper, film, electronic, or any other format. We interpret this provision to mean that an educational agency or institution must use physical, technological, administrative and other methods, including training, to protect education records against unauthorized access and disclosure in ways that are reasonable and appropriate to the circumstances in which the records are maintained.
The term "education records" is defined as records that are directly related to a student and maintained by an educational agency or institution, or by a party acting for the agency or institution. See 34 CFR § 99.3 ("Education records"). This definition covers student term papers that have been collected and maintained by a teacher or other school official acting on behalf of the College. The FERPA regulations specify that a parent (or eligible student, as defined in § 99.3) must provide a signed and dated written consent in accordance with the requirements of § 99.30 before personally identifiable information from education records is disclosed, unless the disclosure falls within one of the exceptions set forth in § 99.31. The regulations define "personally identifiable information" as the student's (or family member's) name, address, personal identifier, and personal characteristics or other information that would make the student's identity easily traceable. 34 CFR § 99.3 ("Personally identifiable information"). Disclosure of student's first name and tribal affiliation in a small community, such as the College, would make a student's identity easily traceable and, therefore, is prohibited under FERPA unless the student has provided written consent.
There is no indication from the information you have provided that the FERPA violation that occurred, as described in your letter, was due to the College's failure to take reasonable and appropriate steps to protect the education records it maintains. Further, it appears that once the College became aware of the problem it promptly investigated the breach and took reasonable and appropriate steps to prevent any further unauthorized disclosures by adding workshops for existing and new faculty on FERPA issues. In that regard, the College's FERPA training should include specific instruction on the type of violation that you reported to this Office. We would also ask you to provide specific instruction on this matter to the professor who published the student information in question except that it is our understanding that this individual no longer provides services for the College. Failure to take these steps could constitute a policy or practice of violating FERPA by permitting the disclosure of personally identifiable information from education records without the required prior written consent.
In the absence of a complaint or any additional information, we will consider this matter closed. Please do not hesitate to contact this Office again if we may be of assistance in ensuring that the College remains in compliance with FERPA.

High Desert Collection (PCGS Set Registry)
Heritage 1/2012:3048, not sold
Jaime Hernandez: The 1873 Double Liberty Indian Cent is considered to be very scarce. There are approximately 300 examples known in all grades combined. About 90% of them are in circulated grades. From the coins that still exist in uncirculated grades, most of them are in MS63 - MS64 condition.
Most uncirculated examples are Red Brown in color, with brown examples being the second scarcest color in uncirculated grades. In Red, they are almost unheard of. There is one example graded by PCGS as MS64 Red and it is considered to be the most desirable example of this variety by many Indian cent collectors.

Karaoke Terror (US - DVD R1)
Gabe gets the 'Karaoke' part of the title, but the 'Terror' bit doesn't make sense...
A gang of slacker boys (the Gakis) idle away their time hanging out with extreme apathy, their sole passion in life being elaborate karaoke recreations of their favourite Showa-era songs (oldies from the 40s to the 80s). Across town, a group of thirty-something divorced women calling themselves the Midoris do much the same thing. These bored gangs cross paths when one of the Gakis kills a Midori because of sexual rejection. The Midoris retaliate, and soon a gang war like none other is under way.
"Middle-aged women…a menace to society."
I recently made a statement about tailor made Japanese cult cinema being a harsh mistress in my Party 7 review. Too often these films look better on paper (or the back of the video box) than they work on screen, and usually a badass opening and closing bookend is our only consolation. Since there are obviously going to be more entries in Synapse's 'Asian Cult Cinema' line, I'm going to have to figure out what exactly makes so many of these movies graceful failures.
There's a basic question I'm going to start asking myself before writing these reviews from now on—is it weird because it's not like anything else, or is it acting weird to cover a lack of originality. Karaoke Terror is interesting case because the 'on paper' description, though generally accurate, doesn't really resemble the feel of the final product. The film is very obviously satirical, but it also carries a sobering emotional weight. A group of middle-aged divorcees forming a gang and hatching a plan of violent vengeance against a group of teenage boys sounds invariably hilarious, just as teenage boys murdering middle-aged divorcees sounds invariably appalling, but each is handled with strange tonal dexterity. You'll hate yourself for laughing just as much as you'll hate yourself for not laughing.
Karaoke Terror deals with audience expectations and double standards in every scene. When the women kill a boy, it's funny and increasingly absurd, when the boys kill a woman it's cold and increasingly mortifying. There's never really a question as to who we're rooting for, but perhaps there should be. The novel from which the film is based was written by Ryû Murakami, who also wrote the basis for modern cult Japan's most incendiary feminist horror show, Takashi Miike's Audition.
Every time the comedic horror threatens to boil over-the-top, quiet scenes of genuine reflection bring the bizarre narrative back to reality, and from there often back into the realms of more sedated black comedy. Director Tetsuo Shinohara could've made an overtly flamboyant picture, and sloppily pushed the dark humour into wacky slapstick, but there is an inherit maturity to the film that sets it apart from the usual pie-in-the-face nature of most tailor made Japanese cult films. It's kind of like counter-counter culture.
The karaoke soundtrack is really just dressing, added for flavour, and exactly the kind of thing tailor made Japanese cult films use to cover unoriginality. Apparently this was an element of Murakami's original novel, but I'm guessing it was a minor one. Shinohara uses the music ironically, but the characters don't love the music for ironic reasons. The music works similarly to the electronic, pseudo-Muzak Beethoven Kubrick used for A Clockwork Orange. Of course A Clockwork Orange is the template for most angsty, troubled teen, social commentary comedies, and Shinohara is sure to pay occasional homage in other ways, such as the way the costumes the boys wear at the beginning of the film.
Karaoke Terror is pretty new, and like Party 7 it doesn't appear that the master cleaners at Synapse had to do much to make it look good on DVD. The print is, unfortunately, not quite as clean as one may expect. There is a reasonably heavy screen of grain throughout the entire runtime, which becomes thicker during scene shot outdoors, where lighting control is less predictable. Dark scenes loose detail, though the black levels are thick and well separated. The film is wonderfully colourful, and reds and greens shine especially bright. Ambers and blues are a little flatter, but highly contrasting colours have effective punch. I could do with more overall brightness and starker contrast, but really the grain is the transfer's only sizable lapse.
Though there isn't much wrong with this solo Japanese language track, but one might expect better then Dolby Surround for a newish release with a special focus on music. The dialogue is clear and usually centred, but other centred effects tend to bleed into the stereo channels. Louder centred sound, including dialogue does distort a bit at higher volume levels. Truthfully the majority of the film is pretty low-key, so aggressive overhauls would be a bit unnecessary, but it would be nice to have more space in which to experience the morally bankrupt world. The biggest thing missing from a lack of 5.1 enhancement is the LFE. The entire track could use with a bass bump.
The disc's extras consist of a clip-heavy making-of featurette, and a collection of trailers and TV spots. The featurette includes interviews with the cast, director Shinohara, and novelist Murakami, and behind the scenes footage, but mostly consists of vague recollections of the filming process. It's obviously meant as a selling piece rather then a deep dissection of the film and its themes. In all it runs about twenty-two minutes.
Karaoke Terror sags a bit in the middle, and is generally a little overlong, but it fulfils our Japanese cult needs without pandering to our expectations. This is an original film, comparable to deserving cult flicks like Battle Royale and Fight Club in its reach, if not its grasp, and it deserves a look. I look forward to more Asian Cult Cinema Collection releases from Synapse.

Wow, what a trip, this movie was something else! I really enjoyed it, and that has to be one of the best endingings I have seen since Miike's Dead or Alive! wow!
And you blood hounds might get a kick out of this movie since we see, very up close, everything from stabbings, throat slashings, and head shots. And thats just BEFORE the 'gangs' start using the "big guns"!

I was going to make a Dead or Alive comparison too, but I was affraid it would give away too much.

Hi, Thankyou.
I think they may have sold out although you could get away with just over a meter so they may have a remnant left.

I love everything about this dress! Because of the size of the print, the tucking details are not lost at all, which could certainly happen with other prints. The tucks "skew" the print in a whimsical way, which is just wonderful! Great fabric choice for this dress, great job matching the tucks and you have fit the dress very well. You look smashing!

The Women's History Boom
Transforming a profession from the inside.
During the summer of 1976, as the country was turning its back on defeat in Vietnam with unabashedly patriotic celebrations of its bicentennial, I took a work-study job at the Women's History Research Center in Berkeley, Calif., a choice I viewed as a minor protest against the boosterish mood of the times. The name conjures up now, as it did when I applied for the job from my college dorm room in Cambridge, Mass., a think tank where scholars pored over archival materials in a climate-controlled reading room. In fact, the place was run out of a dank church basement off Telegraph Avenue. The enterprise was presided over in absentia by its founder, Laura X, a St. Louis heiress née Laura Murra, who preferred to spend her days in the house in the Berkeley hills where she had started the organization in 1969.
In a fury after a UC-Berkeley professor had expressed doubt that there was enough material on women to fill a quarter's course, Laura X had dropped her last name, proclaiming that, like Malcolm, "I don't want to have my owner's name, either"—that is, her father's. Then she had proceeded to spend much of her inheritance gathering thousands of books, pamphlets, clippings, diaries, photographs, and oral history tapes documenting women's accomplishments around the world and throughout history in an effort to prove that professor wrong. By 1976, the feasibility of a course in women's history was no longer in question on almost any college campus—and Laura X's dizzying array of sources, most of which were strewn about her Berkeley house, had spun out of control.
I quickly learned that the WHRC's heyday had come and gone, and my summer would be spent helping close down the place. Each day I packed up more files and correspondence to be shipped off to the women's history archive at Radcliffe's Schlesinger Library. A recent check on the Schlesinger's holdings shows that the WHRC collection is still "unprocessed" more than 30 years later, but includes, along with reports, minutes, clippings, and pamphlets, "records on interns, volunteers, and staff." Quite possibly I had archived myself that summer.
Laura X's campaign had a lot more in common with Judy Chicago's The Dinner Party than it did with a movement by university-trained historians working from the inside to expand the horizons of the discipline, which gathered force in the mid-1970s and has never let up. At about the same time I was taping up cardboard boxes in Berkeley, Laurel Thatcher Ulrich, who'd graduated from her own version of WHRC—the Mormon Sisters Inc., of Arlington, Mass., which put out a feminist newsletter celebrating the accomplishments of early Mormon women—to a Ph.D. program at the University of New Hampshire, published her first scholarly article. The article, "Virtuous Women Found: New England Ministerial Literature, 1668-1735,"—which appeared in American Quarterly, the 27-year-old journal of the American Studies Association—grew out of Ulrich's desire "to know more about ordinary women." She had mined Puritan funeral sermons for evidence about women whose lives had otherwise gone unrecorded. "Well-behaved women seldom make history," she noted in her opening paragraph, in explanation of her difficulty locating sources.
Ulrich went on to write three impeccably researched books—Good Wives (1982), A Midwife's Tale (winner of a Pulitzer in history in 1991), and The Age of Homespun (2001)—each one using new and ingenious methods to document the lives of "well-behaved" women. She also became a tenured professor in Harvard's formerly all-male history department. Meanwhile, that one-liner from her first article took on a life of its own, ironically seeming to endorse an entirely different, activist style of history-making from the quiet, quotidian one Ulrich preferred to write about.
The sentence "escaped into popular culture," Ulrich writes in her new book by that title, after journalist Kay Mills used it as an epigraph in her survey of American women's history, From Pocahontas to Power Suits (1995). From there, the sentence made its way onto T-shirts, coffee mugs, posters, and bumper stickers, where it "now keeps company with anarchists, hedonists, would-be witches, political activists of many descriptions"—the spiritual daughters of Laura X—along with "quite a few well-behaved women." It is a motto that has been embraced by, among others, nurses, school teachers, women in retirement homes, and a network of quilters based in Puyallup, Wash., who, according to their T-shirt-dealing spokeswoman, "see themselves as a little outrageous and naughty and out-of-control with their hobby."
Why was "misbehavior … such an appealing theme," Ulrich began to ask, recognizing that, paradoxically, her own brand of misbehavior as a historian had been simply "to care about things that other people find predictable or boring": a New England midwife's daily diary or the provenance of a linen cupboard. Turning to history as a profession had not been, for her, a journey of self-discovery or a means of empowerment. Rather she had found "liberation in working with material that seemed opaque and alien." As a housewife pursuing graduate work at UNH in the 1970s, she had felt the burden of being "all-present, accountable to the world and people I loved," and relief when, "moving backward in time, I was able to establish a critical distance from my own life and culture. There was no point in advocacy. I had to sit back and try to understand."
Yet advocacy has always been an element in women's history, perhaps all historical projects. Whether you are Laura X proving a point to a Cal professor or Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr. writing about the Kennedy White House, there is always an argument to be made. Ulrich has liberated herself a second time to examine, with a historian's critical eye, the roots of contemporary feminism in women's historical writing. Her goal is to persuade those T-shirt wearers of the value of examining the past as "serious" historians do.
Ulrich looks at three women who experienced feminist epiphanies at very different historical moments. She begins with Christine de Pizan, who wrote the Book of the City of Ladies in 15th-century France, celebrating the lives of "worthy women—queens, princesses, warriors, poets, inventors, weavers of tapestries, wives, mothers, sibyls, and saints," after realizing that the books on her study shelves, all written by men, were filled with "devilish and wicked thoughts about women." Ulrich then turns to the United States and Elizabeth Cady Stanton. In her memoir Eighty Years and More (1898), Stanton wrote of her youthful vow to agitate for legal reform after reading, in her father's upstate New York law library in the 1820s, the "inexorable statutes" depriving married women of their civil rights. Ulrich's tour of book-inspired awakenings ends with Virginia Woolf, whose question "Why was one sex so prosperous and the other so poor?" led her to the library of the British Museum in 1928. There Woolf found only a dismaying profusion of volumes by men emphasizing that woman was "naturally the inferior" sex—and she wrote her landmark plea, A Room of One's Own, in response.
Interested to demonstrate how women's history has flowered in recent decades, Ulrich devotes the remainder of her book to showing how contemporary historians have tackled many of the questions raised by these earlier writers, employing ever more enterprising, archivally based scholarship. Important to her account, as well, is a survey of the "multiple feminisms" that arose during the women's liberation movement of the late 1960s and '70s and led to women's embrace of previously male-dominated professions, not least the profession of history.
Have women changed the practice of medicine, law, or politics by joining those games? The matter is open to debate. By contrast, how history is studied has radically changed—though not as its pioneering polemicists might have imagined. Back in the days of WHRC and the Mormon Sisters Inc., there was plenty of talk of finding our "foremothers" and of writing an alternative "herstory," a favorite neologism of Laura X. Yet it turns out that, as Ulrich's book shows, we didn't need to change the language to discover and tell the stories that Pizan, Stanton, and Woolf were searching for.
For the formative historians of women's lives whose careers Ulrich briefly describes (the founders of the field, Gerda Lerner and Anne Firor Scott), or whose work she cites—not to mention Ulrich's own oeuvre—the most traditional kind of spadework has proved essential to a revolution, in a sense, from within. Serious historians "explore the things that get left out when a person becomes an icon"; recover the all-important details from primary documents and artifacts that can tell us how obscure women and men lived in earlier times. "Historians," Ulrich writes, are "less interested in discovering universals than in tracing change over time."
Armed with new questions, women's historians have transformed a discipline that is defined by the very questions its practitioners ask, expanding the scope and texture of the field and deepening its rigor at the same time. After centuries of asking, women no longer have to wonder, where are the women in our history books? They are there, because sleuths like Ulrich saw the need to look harder at all the "unprocessed" ephemera of women's lives—which in future years will no doubt include a T-shirt or two—and "try to understand."

Farmers have been driving tractors for generations by starting the engine, gripping the steering wheel, and engaging the transmission.
Those same farmers have also been spraying crop protection products for generations by mixing water and chemicals in a spray tank, then pressurizing the tank, thus forcing the mixture through a nozzle on the end of a pipe.
Nothing really complicated about those operations. However, those two simple production practices are changing dramatically in today's high-tech farming.
Satellite GPS technology has taken the farmer's hands off the steering wheel — and computers, pulsators and air induction are making dramatic changes in how material comes out of sprayer nozzles.
A farmer who awakened from a 10-year deep sleep and listened to Ken Giles, University of California, Davis biological and agriculture engineer and Ted Sheely, Kings County, Calif. farmer at the recent technology session at the California Association of Pest Control Advisers (CAPCA) annual conference, he would have thought he was listening to men from outer space.
A decade ago satellite guided tractors would have seemed like fodder for a sci-fi novel. However, Sheely estimates that in the decade since he bought his and other early-day visionaries bought their first GPS tractor guidance systems, 100 percent of growers on the West Side of the San Joaquin Valley have purchased similar GPS systems.
Many of them saw this revolutionary guidance system using aerial maps to guide tractors at Sheely's farm, where for almost a decade he turned his spread into a giant prove-it, real life laboratory for GPS technology.
He did not stop there and has been a pioneer in variable rate technology using crop aerial maps coupled with computer manipulated meter systems and GPS tractor guidance to put in different amounts of crop production products based on mapped areas of fields.
He estimates that 80 percent to 90 percent of the farmers applying gypsum in his area are using the variable rate technology developed on his farm. Fifty percent of the cotton plant growth regulators in his area are now applied variable rate and about 5 percent are involved in the latest VR technique, applying cotton defoliants at rates dictated by aerial plant mapping. "And all those numbers are increasing," he said.
A decade ago, percentages were zero.
It has been rapidly adopted because it saves time and money just like the technology available now to achieve the three key critical aspects of agricultural spraying, according to Giles. They are off-site protection, efficacy and productivity.
"We no longer have to go out and spray the world" to protect crops, Giles told PCAs at the CAPCA technology session in Reno, Nev.
In California you could not spray the world if you wanted to.
There are too many environmentally sensitive areas for that. Buffer zones are virtually out of the question in California because there are too many people, water bodies, sensitive adjacent crops, buildings and the like.
Yet successful farming continues to flourish in the state because technology is providing the ability to create buffers to keep pesticides and other crop production chemistry away from where it does not belong.
There is probably a greater array of new and coming technology for spraying crops than in the GPS/variable rate technology, which is also a key element of Giles' work in improving application technology.
Ultrasonic air blast sprayers that automatically spray trees and turn off where there are no trees offer dramatic savings, according to Giles' trials.
"Some trials have shown 50 percent to 70 percent savings in the use of chemicals," he said. Just as significantly as reducing the amount of material sprayed on the ground and not the trees is the reduction in material that runs off orchards, especially during dormant sprays.
It is so significant, grants are available from the state for farmers to purchase ultrasonic sprayers. However, technological advancement does not stop there as Giles and his colleagues try to improve on the technology with imaging plants for sprayers to select weeds using "leaf specific" agriculture.
This uses near-infrared technology to distinguish weeds from crops. It can separate nightshade from a tomato plant with almost 100 percent accuracy. That is magic, since nightshade and tomatoes are the same species of plant.
Giles and his peers at UC Davis can also use precise micro-maps that allow the use of non-selective herbicide to control weeds like nutsedge in cotton much like a hand hoe crew would, but with more accuracy.
Giles said the time is coming when pulsating nozzles can be used to control spray rate and droplet size rather than doing it with flow rates and pressure.
He has also melded the GPS/VR/Computer systems to control and monitor individual nozzles across large booms. He can plug into that computer weather data, as well as location of environmentally sensitive areas.
He also is working with inducing air into a nozzle to reduce drift-tendency small droplets.
All of this high technology still requires the use of some old standard tools. Sheely says all the GPS/Mapping/VR technology cannot replace good old fashioned soil sampling and petiole analysis.
Giles is learning that in the world of finite spray applications, splashing is an issue and adjuvants and drift agents are needed to make sure the infra-detected nightshade is sprayed without splashing on the nearby tomato plant.
Giles and Sheely said all this new technology will not replace the PCA, but it will allow him or her to do a better job.
"Precision ag is a tool box a farmer and his PCA can use as little or as much as they want. It will allow them to do a better, more efficient job of farming," Sheely noted.

TangoGPS is one of the applications that runs on the Openmoko Phones. For a list of all applications, visit Applications
TangoGPS is a map application which can utilize Neo's built-in GPS to show your current location.
Website: http://www.tangogps.org
Running tangoGPS on Om 2008.8
|NOTE: There may be other steps because I remember it took a while before my TangoGPS started working, but these are the only things I remember installing
From the freerunner connected to the internet:
opkg install gpsd opkg install http://www.tangogps.org/downloads/tangogps_0.9.3-r1_armv4t.ipk
If opkg complains about not being able to acquire a lock, try:
pkill packagekit
To get gpsd working on the Freerunner you have to change the configuration according to Gpsd#GPS_on_GTA02. Then start gpsd by:
/etc/init.d/gpsd start
Now you must power up the GPS-chip by opening the "Settings" application and setting the GPS entry to "on". Now you can run tangoGPS and wait until it get's a GPS fix. This can take up to a few minutes.
Running TangoGPS on debian
Tangogps is a very nice GPS mapping application. The latest version is available in Debian.
Unfortunately it depends on gpsd which conflicts with frameworkd in fso-frameworkd.
# apt-get install gpsd tangogps
/etc/frameworkd.conf. In the section
[ogpsd], edit to read:
# path = /dev/ttySAC1 path = /dev/null
/etc/init.d/fso-frameworkd restart /etc/init.d/zhone-session stop && sleep 2 && /etc/init.d/zhone-session start
# dpkg-reconfigure gpsd
- Start gpsd automatically on boot? Yes.
- Device the GPS receiver is attached to: /dev/ttySAC1
- Should gpsd handle attached USB GPS receivers automatically? Yes
- not certain what this answer should be
- Options to gpsd: none
Start tangogps like this:
# echo 1 >/sys/devices/platform/s3c2440-i2c/i2c-adapter/i2c-0/0-0073/neo1973-pm-gps.0/pwron
Turns the GPS on.
# DISPLAY=:0 tangogps
- The different daemons for reading GPS data mean that both tangogps and the framework demo GPS application can't be configured to work at the same time. Reboots are probably necessary when switching between them.
- Both gpsd and the framework publish GPS data through dbus, though with different interfaces. This suggests a number of possible solutions.
- gpsd or the framework could implement the other's interface (along with their own).
- a translator could read one interface and emulate the other
- the framework could have an option to read data from gpsd.
- opgsd/gypsy could be extended to be backwards compatible with the majority of gps applications.
- Both gpsd and the framework publish GPS data through dbus, though with different interfaces. This suggests a number of possible solutions.
Downloading Maps for offline use
tangoGPS can bunch-download the map images so you don't need an internet connection while walking around. By default tangoGPS stores downloaded maps to /tmp/. This folder is lost every time you reboo the device. But you can use the "Config" tab within tangoGPS to change the "Cache Dir" location to , for example, /osm/ . So downloaded maps will be kept in the Neos flash, also after reboot. This works fine on OM2007.2 and Debian. If this config gets lost during reboot file a bug against your distro.
Once you have set the location to a non-volatile path, you can connect your Neo to the internet by USB or WiFi at home and start downloading the maps of your area. Tap the map screen and select "map download". Now on-the-road tangoGPS will be able to show you maps in different zoom levels even though you are not connected to the inet.
Downloading Maps via GPRS
I think TangoGPS may have started working after I followed the instructions to get GPRS working with GSM multiplexing here: Manually_using_GPRS#Option_1:_With_GSM_multiplexing_and_with_a_GUI
There are steps included in those instructions to improve GPS performance. The great thing is that once you get GPRS working, you can roam with TangoGPS running and have it download maps as needed over the GPRS connection!
Importing Tracks into TangoGPS
TangoGPS is able to record and store a track in its native format, and tools exist to convert this to GPX. However, TangoGPS does not support the import of tracks. You may help yourself by using this tool to import GPX trackpoints as a series of POIs directly into the sqlite database which tangoGPS uses to store POIs.
Using Google Maps with TangoGPS
Go to Config and change the url to http://mt1.google.com/mt?&x=%d&y=%d&zoom=%d and check the "Inverted Zoom" box. Press save Repository Configuration and you're ready to go.
- Automated map download will most certainly fail after a certain period of time, as Google is very keen on keeping leechers out.
- It did work for me...

Gandhara, at the foot of the Hindu Kush, was once the intersection of important trade routes. Along these trails a lively cultural exchange took place: Western antique culture reached Gandhara with the Asian campaign of Alexander the Great (356–323 BC). From India came Buddhism, and from central Asia nomadic peoples such as the Kushans. All these different influences merged into a unique Buddhist culture which flourished from the 1st to the 5th centuries. Here archaeologists have discovered sculptures which are among the earliest figurative representations of the Buddha.
In 2001 the monumental statues of the Buddha at Bamiyan in Afghanistan – once proud witnesses of Gandharan culture – were dynamited and destroyed. But this exhibition, for which Pakistani museums have loaned their treasures to the West for the first time attempts to show another side of this region.

Once again, I feel the need to write to my local MP to express my concerns over ethical behaviour of the government and it's relationship with the financial sector, the media and business corporations.
Increasingly I read about the government's dealings with other business sectors to find that they are of an inappropriate nature, and involve arrangements which the voters are unaware of, did not expressly request for, and I feel I am now discovering our government to have a thread, perhaps a vein, and perhaps, it may be found, to be a bigger cancerous proportion of corrupt, unethical arrangements with banking sectors, media moguls and business men, arms dealers, even turning a blind eye to dealing with countries which have well known human rights transgressions for the sake of business.
If Mr Cameron truly believes that the UK should become a place where 'we're all in it together' and wants the general public to adopt a more altruistic approach to life, surely it must be seen to be coming from the top first? A parent teaches a child by setting a good example themselves.
As our law makers, you are the parent in this situation, but instead of taking care of your charges, you are leaving us in the shop doorway and hoping that someone else deals with us. In fact, you're raiding the children's piggy bank to pay the milk man, the grocer and the paper shop. Your children are sick, and yet you won't take them to the GP. Your children are hungry, and you withhold their pocket money in exchange for feeding some of them, and when you do you promote junk food and alcohol over fresh vegetables, as it has more financial benefit to you. You dine and wine with your husbands and wives of media, finance and business, and allow them to raid your children's savings accounts, and never demand that they pay it back. If anyone is acting immorally, irresponsibly,and selfishly, I'm afraid to say it seems to be yourselves.
Bankers must be held accountable for the recent bail-outs. Without holding the financial sector up to proper scrutiny, and changing the way in which capitalism functions, the world will continue on it's destructive path. It seems quite blatently clear to the majority of the world that the knock-on effect of having a civilisation that functions on increasing profits yearly, is that the people below end up channeling more money into a never ending consuming machine of greed, resulting in starvation, disease and poverty not just in third worlds, but second and first ones as well. If corporate fat cats are not forced into giving something back, they end up in a situation where (as we've just seen with Apple,) they hold more money in reserve than one of the greatest world powers.
As Barack Obama intimated in his speech, the USA and the UK are long known for standing together against evil and terrorism. I'm not so sure this is the case any more, but if something isn't done to clean up our systems soon, the world will suffer a cataclysmic collapse. You are our caretakers, voted for by those who had least had a modicum of interest in how the UK and the world is run. Moral and ethical obligation can not be just a responsibility of the unemployed and disabled, because they are not worthy to be supported, (and I am one of those) but is essentially the responsibility of those with power and money.You are the only people who can make this happen. As my local representative in parliament, I have to rely on you to listen to my voice, but more importantly, to act on it.
The government has to care about the general voter, or they will lose us, as they are already doing. By not holding the financial sector to their promised responsibilities, by not admitting to discussions with Murdoch about BSkyB, by taking weapons dealers abroad with the political entourage whilst on trips to Arab states, by cutting into the very heart of the public sector, by not listening to alternative, more viable financial suggestions, as put forward by organisations such as Robin Hood, by stripping away the assistance to those in need to the extent where their human rights are affected and their ability to contribute to society is less as a result of having less support, and even more potty plans, the government is making a statement to us. That they don't care. They don't care what happens to the poorest, the sickest, the youngest. They don't care about the general voter, because it was the banks, the media and the unions which placed them in their position of power, and so now, the government is really owned by them, and not us.
Fundamental change to all of these attitudes is vital. Compulsory voting might be one way of addressing a small part of it, but I suggest Mr Cameron and his party look to their own ethics before demanding the general voter to help thy neighbour.
I apologise for the tone of my letter, my contempt is not purely for a single MP, or even for a single party. Unfortunately I address you all, and ask that you, our law makers and breakers take on this enormous task. But it has to be now, and it has to be all of you.
Yours sincerely,

UNICEF: Education under fire
In recent weeks: two schoolgirls were killed, and another three students and a teacher were injured outside a girls' school in Afghanistan on 12 June; and one student traveling to national college entrance exams was killed, and in a separate incident another was injured, in crossfire in Gaza on 14 June.
In parts of Iraq parents remain justly concerned about the risks involved in sending their children to school, and insecurity has closed schools in the Central African Republic, in Nepal and in Sri Lanka.
However this month has also provided evidence that where an education system continues to function, students will face real risks to take advantage of the opportunities that education provides. In the occupied Palestinian territory in June, some 60,000 students in both Gaza and the West Bank made it through 10 days of entrance exams, despite the current crisis.
"Children have the right to a safe learning environment at all times, even under the most difficult of circumstances," Veneman stated.

Sometimes sweet, sometimes scary, sometimes sour, "Oz the Great and Powerful" is a film that doesn't know its own mind. A partially effective jumble whose elements clash rather than cohere, this solid but not spectacular effort stubbornly refuses to catch fire until it's almost too late.
As directed by Sam Raimi, who departed from his horror film roots ("The Evil Dead") to turn out the high-grossing, family-friendly "Spider-Man" trilogy, "Oz" exhibits some of the same tonal duality that marks its maker's career. Despite the considerable amount of time, effort and cash invested in it, this film remains an unfocused fairy tale with the nasty bits left in, which is not always a good idea.
As a prequel of sorts to the beloved Judy Garland-starring "The Wizard of Oz," designated by the Library of Congress as the most-watched film ever, this version certainly has giant shoes to fill. Copyright issues prevent "Oz the Great and Powerful" from mentioning signature moments from the 1939 film, such as Dorothy's iconic ruby slippers, but the new movie does feature munchkins, a magician (James Franco) and a trio of witches (Mila Kunis, Rachel Weisz and Michelle Williams) as it fills us in on how the world order Dorothy discovered came into being.

Revised budget reduces tax hike, restores key services
NIAGARA FALLS – The public will get its first peek Wednesday at the city's revised 2013 budget.
City lawmakers said Monday they are ready to unveil substantial cuts to Mayor Paul A. Dyster's original plan, which included 27 layoffs and an 8 percent tax hike.
This time, the lawmakers say the budget will include a lot less "disaster," as the mayor originally termed the document.
"You're going to see us balance the budget, reduce the tax [rate increase] down to zero, and restore critical services," said City Council Chairman Sam F. Fruscione. "Not restoring everybody, just critical services."
Specifics on the plan have been scarce, and the council has not informed the public to this point exactly which departments will see the cuts.
But Fruscione said he and fellow Councilman Glenn A. Choolokian have proposed cuts that they said come not from large items but from roughly 140 smaller budget lines spread across the budget.
The only hint Fruscione has given about the plan is his recent frustration with the number of consultants budgeted by Dyster on some of his signature development projects.
Councilwoman Kristen M. Grandinetti said she fears more than $3 million in annual funds to USA Niagara Development Corp. also are set to be cut by the Council.
Angry residents also admonished city leaders earlier this month for proposing such a large tax hike, telling lawmakers that excessive spending and poor budgeting were more to blame for the city's fiscal crisis than a state dispute with the Seneca Nation of Indians.
That dispute has led the Indian nation to withhold more than $58 million in slot machine revenues from the city, money the city budgeted for road paving and development but also for debt payments on its police station and employee salaries.
Council leaders said their revised budget will bridge a $5 million budget gap and restore jobs to some, but not all, city employees who were set to be laid off.
All union jobs will be restored, Choolokian said, because union contracts state the city cannot legally employ temporary workers when it lays off union employees in the same budget year. The more than 80 seasonal jobs also would be restored, Fruscione said.
"It's impossible to restore all the jobs," Fruscione said. "Some are not lined [up] to the services residents expect like forestry and street paving, so those have to go first."
Dyster originally anticipated the council would approve a $13 million "spin-up" of state funds by the New York Power Authority that would help balance the budget, but leaders rejected the plan because they said the city would get less money in a lump-sum payment now than if it received the funds over 44 years.
The mayor said the city has asked the Power Authority if it would "sweeten the deal" by either providing a partial spin-up of state funds or allowing the city to approve the plan but not dip into the funds until a later date.
Dyster has budgeted $7 million in casino revenue for next year – funds that are not necessarily guaranteed but that the city believes it is legally entitled to.
"We are assuming some receipt of casino revenues next year, but would like to have some backup behind that," Dyster said.
The council will present its revised budget at 4 p.m. Wednesday at Council Chambers, City Hall, 745 Main St.

I use PMTA to relay server and now when i have configured all working as normal, POSTFIX informs that SASL authentication failed; cannot authenticate to server no mechanism available when trying to relay to another Debian setup. So my question is, what needs to be installed more on relay server to this SASL to work? I added super user on relay so those thing are working. I tested this on same setup, but i had POSTFIX installed on relay Debian server. Is this PMTA problem, or on Debian? Any advice is good, i have looked and looked around what to implement.

Derbyshire Wildlife Trust is delighted to welcome its new Chief Executive Jo Smith.
Jo joins the Trust from Yorkshire Wildlife Trust, where she was Director of Operations for the past six years, managing a team of 40 people and a turnover of nearly £2 million.
She grew up in Hebden Bridge, Yorkshire and studied Biological Sciences specialising in Ecology at Durham University where she also completed a PhD.
After starting her career in academia, in the UK and US, she decided that she wanted to have a more direct impact and switched to a career in conservation in 2001. During her time at Yorkshire Wildlife Trust she was involved in several major initiatives, including large-scale habitat creation and restoration programmes and community engagement initiatives
Jo said: "I'm delighted to be joining Derbyshire Wildlife Trust as Chief Executive – I am passionate about wildlife and love to inspire and enthuse others. I strongly believe that the current and ever increasing pressure on wildlife means it's time to think big. We need to find better and more innovative ways to persuade decision makers to work with wildlife rather than against it."
The Trust's Chair Tony Hams said: "We are delighted to welcome Jo to Derbyshire - she impressed the trustees enormously at interview and I am sure she will introduce fresh and challenging thinking into the Trust at an important and optimistic time in our history.
"Her experience in Yorkshire will be invaluable to us and we look forward very much to exciting times ahead."

September 2, 2006...
Three years ago today Dave and I got married. In celebration of our third anniversary, I thought I'd share with y'all some memories of The Big Day. To be frank, I have never been one of those women who had been planning her wedding since she was a little girl. In fact, I'd given it little thought up until Dave and I got engaged in January of 2006 and even once we got engaged, I didn't really morph into a bridezilla. All I knew was that I wanted something elegant, gracious, and personal.
After a very traditional ceremony at my childhood church, we held a reception at The Richmond House, a Southern-style plantation home situated in downtown Richmond, a once rural (and now suburban) town about thirty miles southwest of Houston, Texas. As soon as I saw The Richmond House, with its gracious wide porches, white Ionic columns and giant oak trees covered in Spanish moss, I knew it was the perfect place for Dave and I to get married. It exuded a gracious Southern hospitality that felt both elegant and warm.
Our wedding party consisted of four bridesmaids (my sister and three college friends), a junior bridesmaid (my cousin's eldest daughter) and four groomsmen (Dave's brother, high school best friend and graduate school housemates). I kept things simple with strapless a-line bridesmaid dresses in navy that were similar to the cut of my own dress. I went a bit bolder though in my flower choices, and I still love how bright and happy the bouquets turned out.
My father-in-law and his granddaughter (my niece) with her beautiful mother looking on. Who can resist a little redhead in a green Tinkerbell dress?
My flower girls were the youngest daughters of my cousin. My longtime hairstylist weaved these flowers in their hair in lieu of them carrying any and I just think they look darling. This photo is, perhaps, my favorite of all my wedding photos.
My mother and I. It's been said (many times) in my family that while I look like the second coming of my mother, my personality is 100% my father's. Both somewhat overgeneralizations, I think, but I'll grudgingly admit that they do have some merit. I actually really loved my mother's outfit here -- the color and cut were gorgeous on her and it was eminently appropriate for the occasion without being overly matronly. As for my dress, I do wish I had pressed on in the wedding dress search a bit longer as I wasn't completely in love with it. But since I don't really plan on wearing it again, I suppose it just doesn't matter that much in the end.
Dave's one request was that he not be required to dance -- and since The Richmond House is, in fact, just a house, there was little room for a dance floor anyway. As a result, we decided to hire groups of classically-trained musicians to serenade our guests on both floors.
Dave and I were blessed with friends and family coming from all over the country to spend the day with us. I was particularly touched by the high turnout of college friends I had in attendance -- many of whom were poor graduate students at the time and had precious little money and time to trek across the country for the occasion. And yet, they did it anyway.
The all-important cakes. Because our reception venue was a one-stop shop kind of place, I had to use their in-house baker. Fortunately though, the cakes were both beautiful and delicious.
My father is, without question, one of the best public speakers I know and his toast was both humorous and touching. On a less touching note, his blackberry (which he had somehow managed to get a hold of after it had been confiscated at my mother's orders) went off during his speech.
The ritual of newlyweds feeding each other cake always struck me as a bit ridiculous, but it certainly makes for entertaining photos.
After I threw my bouquet (straight at my sister, as it turned out), Dave and I made our exit, surrounded by well-wishers waiving sparklers.
Our getaway car took us to the Magnolia Hotel in downtown Houston where we spent the night before returning home the next day. Because of our schedules, Dave and I took a delayed honeymoon in early October to Banff, Alberta, where we had a wonderful time taking in the breathtaking views, hiking, and eating our weight in fondue.
I look back on my wedding fondly, though much of it is a blur. While the day marks the official date that Dave and I began our lives together, in truth it began much earlier as we became inseparable within weeks of meeting. Today, the past four and a half years together feel like a lifetime and I sometimes have trouble imagining my life before Dave -- and I hope that I won't have to live with such a future. Dave is my best friend, my confidant, my rock, and my biggest cheerleader and I am so thankful that we met. In short, he keeps me on my toes and Lord knows I need that!

Is it me, or do grilled cheese sandwiches seem to be making a move into the "It" food space? They've always been strong players in the world of comfort foods, but more and more they seem to be making moves similar to the now ubiquitous cupcake.
First, they've been springing up in restaurants everywhere. Eater recently published "New York's 12 Best Grilled Cheese Sandwiches," which highlights amazing versions of the staple found all over the city, such as the buttermilk fried chicken grilled cheese sandwich, which contains: "lots of gooey jalapeno jack, cabbage slaw, and a dollop of the restaurant's special creamy 'melt sauce.'"
In Canada, entire grilled cheese restaurants are popping up. Some are even serving up carb-and-cheese-laden versions that are stuffed with macaroni and cheese. Oh my. I bet Takeru Kobayashi -- the guy who ate 13 grilled cheese sandwiches in one minute at SXSW this weekend -- wasn't eating those.
In honor of the great grilled cheese and its rise in the ranks of the food world, here are six fantastic twists on the traditional grilled cheese sandwich that you can make at home.
1. Cheddar and Apple Grilled Cheese With Raspberry Coulis
This version from Pithy and Cleaver is an insanely delicious mix of sweet and savory with flavor popping in each bite. Bonus health points for the fruit.
2. Grown-Up Farmhouse Grilled Cheese
With pancetta, white cheddar, and slices of heirloom tomato, it's a simple, but substantial sandwich.
3. Pesto-Crusted Grilled Cheese
The pesto adds a nice punch to this sandwich, and it also makes it perfectly green for St. Patrick's Day.
Courtesy of Rachel Ray, this sandwich boasts olives, spicy Italian vegetables, and provolone. Ciao!
5. Grilled Goat Cheese Sandwiches with Fig and Honey
Who needs anything else?
6. Panini With Chocolate and Brie
A dessert and dinner all in one. Yum!
What's the best grilled cheese sandwich you've ever eaten?

This was the final film appearance for Harlow, who died before the film's completion. Mary Dees was chosen as her stand-in and had to finish many of the scenes. "Saratoga" was released just a month after Harlow's death and became one of the biggest moneymakers of the year.

Blackhawks showing they can keep puck out of net as well as put it in, lead Kings 1-0NHL.com @NHLdotcom
CHICAGO - Sure, the Chicago Blackhawks have a bunch of veteran forwards who have a history of clutch goals.
Scoring against the defending champions isn't easy, either.
The Los Angeles Kings found out just how difficult it can be during Sunday's 3-1 loss in Game 1 of the Western Conference final, whether they were being stopped by goalie Corey Crawford or blocked by one of his teammates. The best-of-seven series continues Wednesday in Chicago.
Kings coach Darryl Sutter says his team had "a lot of good opportunities" and credited Crawford after another big performance.
But it wasn't just the guy in net. Other players stepped up for the Blackhawks.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Jerry Horn
Priests for Life, one of the nation's largest anti-abortion groups, announced today that as America approaches the completion of 31 years of Roe vs. Wade this Thursday, most citizens do not accept its policies, and are learning that it is a dead end.
"The days of Roe are numbered," stated Fr. Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life and President of the National Pro-life Religious Council. "Survey after survey shows that very few Americans accept its policy of abortion-on-demand through all nine months of pregnancy. And as the numbers of women harmed by abortion continue to grow, our nation learns by the day that abortion is a dead end."
Priests for Life gives a voice to that message by co-sponsoring the "Silent No More Awareness Campaign," which will gather at the Supreme Court at 5pm on January 22 to provide women harmed by abortion to give public testimony.
Moreover, Priests for Life will help ensure that abortion policies are changed by working to bring more and more pro-life voters to the polls on Election Day later this year. "If a politician can't respect the life of a little baby, how is he supposed to respect yours?" Fr. Frank asked.
