Background and Perspectives Social systems don't live forever. They have their own internal contradictions, which produce systemic crises. Capitalism is no different; someday it will end. The question we are addressing is whether it will be followed by barbarism, mass death, and barrenness, or by a better world. The current crisis is not only one of greatly increased attacks on the working class and oppressed people but is also a fundamental crisis of the system itself. We cannot predict the demise of the system, something in which the working class and oppressed people must also play a conscious part. We can, however, state that this is the most serious crisis of capitalism since the 1930's--and that one was only "solved" by World War II.
From World War I to the Great Depression and then World War II, the world capitalist system went through 30 years of crisis and decay, politically reflected in revolutions in Russia, Europe and Asia, the rise of fascism in Italy, Germany, Spain and elsewhere, and the counterrevolutionary consolidation of the Marxist-Leninist bureaucracy in the Soviet Union. What we now faceFollowing the Great Recession, the state and capitalists seem to have stabilized the situation for now, preventing a collapse into another Depression. Yet nothing fundamental has been solved and the seeds are already planted for a new crisis. Speculation is rampant in stocks and commodities, and derivatives are still out of control. At the same time, unemployment is very high and likely to remain so for years. Foreclosures, homelessness and hunger continue to increase. State and local government budgets and services are slashed into the bone. Credit, even for fairly large businesses, is still tight. There will be no return to the post-World War II prosperity. Working people face long-term stagnation and increasing difficulties.ResistanceThere has been a growing polarization in the country. On the one hand, a proto-fascist movement has grown up on the right, a minority but a big and very vocal one. There has also been a turn to the left by much of the population, reflected in the http://www.nefac.net/node/2456and in a growing disillusionment in his policies by a large part of his liberal base. This is still mostly passive and electoral. For the most part, people are still in shock from the Great Recession, making do with temporary and personal solutions and taking advantage of whatever government programs exist. The union officials, liberal and moderate alike, do not have a clue as to how to respond politically to the decline in their membership and power, aside from electing more Democrats. However, we feel that popular resistance to the Recession's effects will grow. We dont know when, where or how it will break out, but it will come.Adopted by U.S. NEFAC, March 20, 2010 |

Good comic book 'events'
Now a lot of the time event comics just don't work but this is the place to talk about the events that were actually good. I'd say blackest night is a great example of an event were the stories is told in the core series and the tie-ins are just that tie-ins. Side stroies that show how the event is affecting a particular character not a tie-in that reveals important plot details outside of the main narrative yet the these plot points are vital to the main plot.

I hate plots where there arer side plots so you have to buy titles you wouldn't normally in order to know what is going on. Such as Flash Point.
I did enjoy Infinite Crisis though. |

I often hated the big summer "event" crossovers within Marvel and DC. It's why I gave up on them in the end.
It was bad enough having to buy Bat/X-Men titles I wouldn't normally buy, but when you then had to also read other DC/Marvel titles too, I said enough is enough. Saying that, though, there were some crossovers I enjoyed, such as Age of Apocalypse, Contagion / Legacy / No Man's Land and a couple of others. I never liked the "Crisis" events. I always preferred to think of Batman as separate from the rest of the DCU, and hated it when the rest of the universe intruded. |

Crisis on Infinite Earths remains the best. Even though the ending didn't really make sense and hardly any of the writers seemed to know how to deal it with afterwards. The death of The Flash and Supergirl seemed liked truly tragic events at the time.

Malpass hires Giuliani campaign manager
- Posted: 1:17 PM, March 16, 2010
Mike DuHaime, who's now with Mercury LLC, will be the general consultant for the Malpass effort, the soon-to-be-official candidate's advisers said.
DuHaime is fresh off the Chris Christie gubernatorial campaign in New Jersey, where the sizable margin of victory over incumbent Jon Corzine was a surprise.
Malpass's team already includes Jamestown Associates for the paid media piece, Eagle Point Strategies for polling and NLO Strategies, co-founded by longtime Giuliani adviser Cristyne Nicolas, for communications and press.
Malpass has been making the rounds aggressively and, by all accounts, pushing ahead on making sure he has a solid war chest for what is shaping up to be a crowded primary field.

We have several ZFP Therapeutic® programs under development. By functioning at the DNA level our technology enables us to achieve unique biologic outcomes in the treatment of unmet medical needs.
We are using engineered zinc finger DNA-binding protein transcription factors (ZFP TFs) to "up-regulate" or "down-regulate" gene expression to achieve a desired therapeutic effect. We are also using zinc finger nucleases (ZFNs) to correct or disrupt genes to address diseases caused by a defect in a single gene, so called "monogenic diseases".
We are currently developing the following ZFP Therapeutics including programs in hemophilia and Huntington's disease with Shire AG.

Mansfield University Home Page > School Library & Information Technologies Home Page > Graduates > Tammy Kay Bixler-Zalesinsky
The Mansfield University Master of Education Program in School Library and Information Technology (SL& IT) opened many doors of possibilities for me. Two aspects of the program struck me when I began taking classes in Fall Semester 2006. It is a rigorous program, and it is very practical. It was the intensity of the program and the dedication of the faculty which prepared me well for what I was later to encounter while working on my doctorate and taking on various leadership roles. The practicality of the program is particularly attractive because when one is working in such depth on assignments, it is easier to value the work when you know you will be able to put it into practice in a school setting.
Currently, I am working on my doctorate at Liberty University in Educational Leadership. I began my doctoral coursework by taking classes in residence at the university during the Summer Semester of 2008. I was amazed by the depth of knowledge I already had especially in the field of school law. While many of my classmates had worked on their master's degrees in the area of school leadership, I felt that my knowledge in this area was equal to or better than the knowledge they brought to this advanced coursework. My professors remarked that my technology and presentation skills were among the best they had taught. According to my doctoral professors, the two greatest areas of deficiency among doctoral candidates are searching and writing skills. As a result of the rigor of the Mansfield SL&IT Program, these were two areas in which I excelled both on the entrance exams and class assignments. This will also give me an advantage as I prepare to write a dissertation.
Living in Ohio, I was concerned that jobs in school libraries may not be very plentiful as school budgets are lean and keep getting trimmed more each year. It was quite astonishing to me that I was offered two positions as a school librarian within two months of graduating. I applied for neither position. One offer was a result of my internship, and the other was a school which saw my electronic portfolio—a capstone project at the end of the SL&IT Program ( http://www.yourjedimaster.com/MU_Title.html). I decided to take neither school library position because my school offered me the position of the head of my science department once I had graduated with my master's degree. This new leadership position enables me to work with all the science curriculum and teachers in grades K – 12. As I was working through my SL& IT courses, I was amazed how much practical information is readily usable for the classroom teacher and how school librarians also function as school leaders, teacher collaborators, technology gurus, and curriculum enhancers. Being familiar with all of these areas of teaching has prepared me to be able to adapt to the ever-changing world of education.

The home nine plated three runs in the first inning against David Goforth who took the loss working five innings, allowing all four runs on seven hits. Chadwin Stang went two for three at the plate in the loss. Wisconsin (34-20) still leads the Western Division by 2 games over Beloit and after one more game against the Kernals Friday night, the TimberRattlers travel to Beloit for a three game series that should decide the first half champion.

By Steve Gelsi, MarketWatch
NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — Chevron touched an all-time high on Friday on the heels of bullish analyst comments and stronger crude oil prices before pulling back at the closing bell, as energy stocks moved up with strong contributions from oil-service companies.
Chevron /quotes/zigman/289939/quotes/nls/cvx CVX +0.04% dipped a nickel to end the session at $117.80 a share. Earlier in the day, the stock touched $118.53 a share, its loftiest level ever.
The San Ramon, Calif.-based oil and natural gas producer has been drawing strength from surging crude-oil prices.
"Chevron is the most-leveraged integrated oil company to oil prices and oil prices are expected to be at a record level on average for the year," analyst Fadel Gheit of Oppenheimer & Co. wrote in an email. "It outperformed its peers of major oil companies this year and in the last three, five and 10 years."
Oppenheimer is currently projecting an average price of $104 per barrel for West Texas Intermediate crude in 2012, above the average of $97 per barrel in 2008, Gheit said.
Also on Friday, analyst Brian Purdy of Global Hunter Securities mentioned Chevron as one of several players with a presence in the Duvernay Shale, "an emerging play in Canada."
Barclays analyst Paul Cheng said Chevron "ranks the best among the super majors group for the next several months," in comments that came after analysts met with the oil company's management recently.
On Thursday, J.P. Morgan Equity Research raised its price target on Chevron to $123 a share from $120 a share.

I agree with you that the Ron Paul write-in probably won't be all that successful (even if they actually count the votes!), as much as it pains me I
believe I will have to let go of that notion and stick with my true party, which is Libertarian. I've read up a bit on Barr, and he is definitely
not as good of a choice as Ron Paul in my opinion, but by comparison of the candidates we're forced to choose from otherwise, he is hands down the
best one. The thing that worries me is that he used to be a hardcore republican and he supported one of the worst acts in recent history – the
Patriot Act. He is singing a different tune now, and regrets his ill placed support after seeing the results that the act has had on our civil
liberties. He claims to be disenfranchised with the republican party now, and feels it is no longer his party, and he has taken on the majority of the
views of the libertarian party. In other news I've done a bit of research on Wayne Root, who is his running mate, and I think he would make a
fantastic president himself and certainly adds a lot of confidence in Barr's run for me personally. I think if the Barr/Root ticket is endorsed by
Ron Paul then in the very least they may have a decent shot at turning some heads and creating a real possibility for some of the real change we all
seek in 2012. If you use the search function in the ATS main page you can read some other Barr threads with links of videos and such for him, as well
as links for Wayne Root, and Barr's campaign page is www.bobbarr2008.com
On a side note I've enjoyed reading your posts since I became a member. You add a lot of great insight to ATS. A lot of the stars you've gotten on
your posts have come from me. Keep up the good work - the world could use a few more well-informed rednecks!

Why do some of the mod names start with "vB", such as vBDonate and others are without?
Have a question that's not related to our products or services? Ask it here.
[Demo forum for vBAnswers]
Why do some of the mod names start with "vB", such as vBDonate and others are without?
That was just how the developer of the mod named it, most of the mods with smaller titles start with vB but mods with longer titles such as Threadmins and Group Moderators would not look right if it was vBThreadmins and Group Moderators.Good Answer
vBDonate has won Mod of the Month for January 2013 at vBulletin.org. Thanks to everyone who voted and made this happen.
Branding vB standing for vBulletin which the developer is indicating the Mod is for vB (vBulletin)
Also the URL index vb_donate.php
It might have been DBTDonate or dbt_donate.php
I prefer not to have vb_donate.php or dbt_donate.php in the URL index when Branding Free is purchased.
It's so early 2000's as in so last year.
dragonbytetech Threadmins and Group Moderators. php would be way to long.
Generally if a mod is a single word or two words it will have the vB prefix (except where that prefix is already in use by another mod). For longer mods we drop it.SolutionVoted 'Best Answer'

By Kathie Newell
As citizens of the United States, we relish many freedoms -- Freedom to vote -- Freedom of speech -- Freedom to worship as we choose. Now, we can have another freedom -- the right to decide, while we're alive and competent, whether we wish to die naturally by rejecting life-sustaining treatment.
Nancy Cruzan, a young woman in her 20s who suffered severe brain damage in an automobile accident in 1983, had no choice. Neither did her family -- at first. Feeding tubes were attached to Nancy, sustaining her life while she remained in a vegetative state for almost nine years.
Nancy was hospitalized in Missouri, where it was required by law that there be "clear and convincing" evidence of the patient's desire not to have life sustained by artificial means, such as a feeding tube, before any treatment can be withdrawn. The case went before the U.S. Supreme Court, which eventually denied their request, holding that there was not "clear and convincing" evidence of Nancy's desires. There was nothing written by Nancy expressing her desire, and the only evidence before the court was a statement by a friend of Nancy's that stated that she and Nancy had once discussed terminal illness and that Nancy had said that she would not want to be on life support. Eventually, the feeding tube was removed, but not before a substantial amount of time, expense and anxiety had been incurred by Nancy's family. (Nancy Cruzan died on Dec. 26, 1990, 13 days after her feeding tube was removed.)
Before the rise of medical technology, people usually died "naturally" at home. Prolonging life through medical intervention was neither a possibility nor a problem. Following WWII, with explosive growth of medical technology, death became an enemy to conquer. New techniques -- implants, transplants, kidney machines, artificial breathing, artificial feeding -- made it possible to prolong life.
This brought new problems. As medical technology and ability to control the length of human life grew, new legal and ethical questions came up.
Following the Cruzan case, the U.S. Congress passed the Patient Self-Determination Act, which went into effect Dec. 1, 1991. This act ensures that every adult patient admitted to Northern Montana Hospital, or any other hospital in the country, will receive information of their rights as a patient to accept or refuse medical or surgical treatment and their right to establish an advance directive to make their wishes known concerning the providing for or withholding of medical care.
Legally, medically and ethically, there has come to be some general agreement -- the best person to make the decision about how far to prolong life is the patient, and the best time to make that decision is in advance, while the patient is still healthy and able to communicate. The increased focus on helping patients understand their rights is aimed at improving patient knowledge about their freedom of choice and at fostering better communication among the patient, family and attending physician.
More information about and free copies of living will and durable power of attorney for health care forms can be obtained by calling the Northern Montana Hospital Social Services Department at 262-1557. If you file a copy of your living will with Northern Montana Hospital, it is made a permanent part of your medical record, and you will be designated as having an advance directive on file.

With the possible exception of that football team in Minnesota, the vikings have seen some fairly serious brand slippage over the years. Once the scourge of Europe, vikings have increasingly lost their mojo — the Wagnerian soprano in the horned hat and even the scraggly barbarians of Capitol One ads are actually Visigoths, although the Viking cruise line still proudly tours where its titular progenitors once conquered.
So the time is right for an image refurbishment, and here is History, in the midst of its own makeover, to provide just that. "Vikings," History's first scripted series, which premieres Sunday, leverages the grimy splendor, Middle-earth landscape and sword 'n' sorcery allure of "Game of Thrones" and embroiders it with just enough historical revelation to meet the network's original mandate without dragging down either plot or character — both of which are surprisingly compelling and complex. It stars a former Calvin Klein model and Gabriel Byrne, and that doesn't hurt either.
PHOTOS: Hollywood backlot moments
The story revolves around Ragnar (Travis Fimmel, aforementioned former model), a man loosely based on a character of Norse legend with the same name. Here portrayed as a farmer with a feisty wife, Lagertha (Katheryn Winnick), and a passel of fine children, Ragnar is also a doughty warrior. But he longs for more. Not, mercifully, a singing career, just the chance to go west.
Unfortunately, Ragnar's tyrannical chieftain, Earl Haraldson (Byrne), insists that the time-honored routes east are the only safe choice for a people several centuries removed from the age of exploration. Buoyed by his possession of a sun stone, a bit of early navigational technology predating the compass, Ragnar enlists some of his comrades to join him on his quest.
After the eccentric but loyal Floki (Gustaf Skarsgard) has designed a next-generation longboat (an advanced keel allowed more weight to be carried longer distances), Ragnar and his pals set out to go where Haraldson has assured them there are no lands. Eventually, they find, and sack, the monastery at Lindisfarne, a historically accurate event that kicked off the viking age.
Although many monks are slaughtered and enslaved, Ragnar is clearly more interested in intellectual advancement than blood sport. When, upon their return, the men are stripped of their booty by Haraldson, Ragnar has the presence of mind to save one monk's life by taking him as his personal slave. Athelstan (George Blagden) and his one god fascinates our hero, with the added benefit of allowing scenes in which polytheism is neatly compared and contrasted with monotheism. (How parents looking for ways to make history interesting will explain Ragnar's friendly suggestion that Athelstan join him in the marital bed is up to them, but fair warning!)
Aside from answering many FAQs — burial rites were often cruel but the women could own property — "Vikings" is the tried and true story of an open-minded upstart challenging the corrupt establishment. Byrne's chieftain constantly tests the loyalties of those around him, often with the aid of his scheming wife, Siggy (Jessalyn Gilsig, who played Terri Schuester on "Glee.")
It is also a mostly noble attempt to humanize a group of people who have been reduced to the fact of their stature (tall) and their propensity for barbarism, and this requires a delicate touch. The brutality of any era that predates "Downton Abbey" has been accepted as rote by television audiences, who squirmed their way through depictions of smallpox vaccinations in HBO's "John Adams" and, more recently, the random bloody murders of just about everyone in "Hatfields & McCoys."
But there is no getting away from the fact that the vikings supported themselves through systematic piracy and pillaging. They were also canny seafarers and craftsman who contributed technologically and socially to civilization, but they did it in a way that doesn't mesh too well with the modern sensibility.
Fortunately, creator Michael Hirst, having cut his teeth on the feature film "Elizabeth" and then on Showtime's "The Tudors," is particularly adroit at keeping the action firmly planted in its own time and creating characters with enough internal tension to evoke emotional connection if not exactly sympathy. Even the villainous Haraldson is granted the extra dimension of grief; his sons were recently murdered in a particularly heinous way, so perhaps he can be forgiven for his madness.
Historically speaking, the role of Lagertha is the biggest stretch — a blade-wielding shield maiden, she accompanies Ragnar on one of his raids and makes it clear that rape will no longer be part of the viking program. Um, well, OK.
A writer has to do what a writer has to do, and as Richard Wagner understood, in courting an all-in demographic, it's tough to beat a hot, mouthy warrior queen. Even without the crazy hat.

Album Rating: 3.0@ Deviant: Thanks a lot man! Appreciate it! =)
Great job, as per usual. Pos'd. What ever happened to prog-rock?.... Oh yeah
Album Rating: 3.0Thanks a lot Gyro! =) I think you're the only one who reads my reviews on a consistent basis ahahaha! And yay I can go back to listening to Disturbed now. LOL.
good review. It made me NOT want to listen to this, but on the bright side, it definitely piqued my interest in finally getting Neverender
Album Rating: 3.0@ Sowing: Thank you very much. Do let me know if you think there's anything that could use some improving - I've got lots to work on I feel. I've always been interested in the epic Children of the Fence edition for Neverender - pity there's only so many of them. I assume you'll be hunting down the standard two disc edition?
We all have room for improvement, but you're off to a glorious start.
Album Rating: 3.0@ Gyro: Thanks for the compliment - it's much appreciated. I'll keep experimenting with various styles of writing then - hopefully it'll help the flow of ideas get better and smoother.
great review.
What is this?
Album Rating: 3.0An EP entitled Neverender 12% by American prog rock group Coheed and Cambria - it's alright.
What's this!?
Album Rating: 4.0 | Sound Offsuch a dumb release
They do no such thing
Album Rating: 4.0 | Sound Offwell no this is fucking dumb
Album Rating: 3.0Yeah, it wasn't the best idea in the world (which is incidentally what I was trying to say in this review haha). It had so much potential though; that said I suspect the record company forced them to pump this out OR made it against their consent.
Album Rating: 3.0Also: @whywontyoudie - Thanks. Do let me know if you spot any mistakes/errors/items worth correcting. And chan...you gave it a 4. That's not a "dumb release" score LOL.
Album Rating: 3.0@ Hep Kat: HAHA! True that! That comment probably says as more than my review does lol! Conclusion: this Hot Topic Coheed and Cambria EP is an immensely inferior record.
Album Rating: 3.0I am curious...why do comments sometimes go missing?

We go out to bars around town, the movies, and restaurants for brunches and dinners. In the summertime, we hit up the best beaches in New England. Regardless of the season or …

text: Technical Abstract: From the introduction: When you finish school and are seeking employment as a skilled scientist, there are four basic choices: academia, industry, government and fast food. If you're not interested in dealing with the public and investigating the hypothesis "Would you like fries with that?" you can pretty much eliminate the last choice. This article is targeted at providing information about scientific career choices in government based on my experiences with Federal employment over the last 25 years. In many ways Government employment is right "between" academia and industry. Federal employment offers the benefit of longer- term funding for research without the responsibility of teaching or serving on faculty committees, but like academia, you can work with graduate students and employ post-docs. If that isn't enough to entice you, where else could you analyze moon rocks (NASA), be surrounded by more gold than you could spend in a lifetime (US Treasury), work on the restoration of the original Star-Spangled Banner (Smithsonian), get to analyze evidence for a famous criminal case (FBI) or have fun playing with your food(FDA and USDA)?

This year, Children's Theatre Company (CTC) is bringing back the holiday classic Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas. This is the story about a mischievous and grumpy Grinch, played by CTC Company member Reed Sigmund, who hates Christmas so much that he has decided to steal it from his neighbors, the Christmas-loving Whos down in Whoville. With the help of his faithful dog, Max, and a reality check from the tiny Cindy-Lou Who, the Grinch comes to realize that you can't steal Christmas because Christmas doesn't come from the store, "maybe Christmas...perhaps...means a little bit more."
The stage adaptation of Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas (GRINCH) has become familiar to past generations of CTC's audiences since its premiere in 1994. GRINCH has become a CTC favorite because like all of Dr. Seuss' work, it continues to be relevant to everyone.
CTC managing director Tim Jennings explains, "The story of a character moving away from the trappings of material things toward understanding the power of personal experiences makes a perfect play, and the very act of attending the theatre is participating in that shared, joyful experience with your community. Revisiting a beloved story and seeing a book come to life on stage is a hugely compelling reason to attend theatre as a family, not only because of what you see on stage, but also because you can see it through the eyes of your children."
Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas, by Timothy Mason and Mel Marvin, runs November 6 - December 30 on the UnitedHealth Group Stage. As part of CTC's commitment to programming for ages two through eighteen, Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas is recommended for pre-K and up. Tickets are on sale now from $10 to $67. Affordable subscription packages are also available. For more information, including a complete performance schedule, visit childrenstheatre.org or call the Ticket Office at 612-874-0400.
Children's Theatre Company (CTC) is the first theatre for young people to win the coveted Tony® Award for Outstanding Regional Theater (2003). Founded in 1965, CTC serves more than 300,000 people annually and is one of the 20 largest theater companies in the nation. The company is noted for defining worldwide standards for youth theatre with an innovative mix of classic tales, celebrated international productions and challenging new work.

The Headache: The demands of the banker's day just keep growing. Life is busy on all fronts and you have to take care of your customers, be they the public or, for those on support staff, your fellow bankers. It can be tough to keep your chin up, your shoulder to wheel, and all that. It helps to have reminders of good advice, good attitude, good ideas. Our Question: What advice, quotations, slogans, or other helpful messages do you keep on your desk, on your bulletin board, or under your glass desktop? Come see what other bankers think, and add your own views * * *
What reminders, words of wisdom, or inspiration do you keep around your desk? In 33 years of financial journalism, I've visited many bankers and financial officials in their offices, from chieftains of major institutions to community bankers to people very junior in their banks. One commonality is that most put something in their office to remind themselves of their moral touchstones; their goals and aspirations; or perspectives that help them keep on track, keep a sense of humor, or, sometimes, keep their sanity. Sometimes these reminders go on cards on a bulletin board. Some go on little plaques, or even screen savers.

Locke, Jefferson, and the Justices Foundations and Failures (Paperback)
America?s first question to give more power to the individual, or to a central power? set the stage for an ongoing struggle between the Feds, the States and the Citizen. The balance of power is certainly shifting as we enter the 21st century. Upcoming Supreme Court appointments are a major weapon in this struggle.

Page of Declaration of Sentiments showing Catharine Paine's name, Women's Rights National Historical Park.
A resident of Seneca Falls, a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church and educated at the town's Seneca Falls Academy, Blaine was 18 when she added her signature to the Declaration of Sentiments. Born in Amenia, Dutchess County, New York in December, 1829, Paine came from a family of two older sisters and two younger brothers. Her parents, Thomas and Louisa Paine, moved the family to Seneca Falls when Catharine was quite young. Many water-driven factories on the Cayuga-Seneca Canal, a feeder to the Erie Canal, produced cloth, flour, gin, pumps, candles and other products in Seneca Falls and Waterloo. In 1839, Thomas Paine started Paine-Caldwell Pump Manufacturing Company with a partner; he later manufactured tallow and soap. In 1850, Thomas Paine held $2000 in real estate; by 1860, he had amassed a real estate value of $10,000.
Little is known about Catharine Paine's other activities in Seneca Falls, or her reasons for signing the Declaration of Sentiments. She attended religious camp meetings and may have taught "Sabbath School" in Seneca Falls, qualifying her for later teaching positions. In her diary, she described reading "Uncle Tom's Cabin" and expressed her opposition to slavery. Her firm disagreement with the institution of slavery may have drawn her to hear Lucretia Mott and other anti-slavery reformers. Possibly she accompanied her abolitionist father, Thomas Paine, or her mother, a convert to the Methodist Episcopal Church, a reform congregation in Seneca Falls. Thomas Paine participated in the abolitionist meetings in the Seneca Falls area including the meeting where the Garrisonian abolitionist Abby Kelly spoke in Ansel Bascom's orchard in August 1843. In 1850 he also signed an abolitionist petition sent from Seneca Falls dated May 7, 1850. In the Blaine home were reform newspapers including the New York Tribune, National Anti-Slavery Standard, Advent of Moral Reform, Advent Harbinger and Genesee Farmer that likely influenced Catharine as well.1
Elizabeth Miller, early adopter of the Bloomer costume, Seneca Falls Historical Society.
In the years after the First Women's Rights Convention, Paine adopted the so-called "Bloomer Costume" advocated by Amelia Bloomer, another Seneca Falls resident. The Bloomer Costume consisted of wide "Turkish pantaloons" topped by a knee length dress. This facilitated movement but shocked many who saw it as unfeminine. In a letter to David Blaine shortly before their marriage, and move to Oregon Territory, (Washington became a separate Territory from Oregon on March 2, 1853), Paine sought his opinion on "exchang[ing] my present convenient dress for long skirts….In that new country we can hardly suppose that the same degree of odium attaches to it there as here and I think it will commend itself to the inhabitants."2
Portrait of David Blaine, University of Washington Libraries, Special Collections, UW18582.
David Blaine, educated at Seneca Falls Academy, Waterloo Academy, Hamilton College and Auburn Theological Seminary, in Auburn, New York, was the eldest son of John and Martha Blaine. The Blaines were farmers and innkeepers with real estate holdings worth $23,470 in 1850. Blaine's brother Saron worked on the farm with his father. Younger siblings from both families attended the Seneca Falls Academy in 1853.
Blaine had converted to Methodism as had Paine. Their correspondence, begun in January, 1852, led to a courtship of discovery of shared religious beliefs and desires to work in the missionary field. Shortly after their marriage in the Methodist Episcopal Church in Seneca Falls, Blaine entered the ministry in August, 1853. While Paine preferred work in Africa or Asia, the Genesee Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church promptly assigned the newly-wedded couple to a ten year appointment to the Oregon Methodist Conference. On their arrival, David and Catharine were posted to Seattle in Washington Territory.
The Blaines' letters home, saved by their relatives, offer an extraordinary glimpse into ties between central New York and newly settled areas of the Pacific Northwest. Between 1849 and 1862, the letters documented courtship and residence in the Pacific Northwest, early territorial legislative sessions, church-building, educational efforts, and the glimmerings of the impending Civil War. Thanks to the foresight of their families, the Blaine letters provide evidence that Catharine Paine Blaine carried reform beliefs with her throughout her life, endeavoring to use her work and her influence to change society for the better.
