My dearest Friend
I left Paris on the Eighth of March, expecting to find the Alliance, at Nantes and embark immediately for home, but when I arrived there I found the Alliance was still at Brest. I went to Brest 200 Miles from Nantes, and after some Stay there the Alliance was ordered to Nantes. I returned to Nantes, and when every Thing was ready to sail for America, an order came from Court for the Alliance to go to L'orient, and for me to go home in one of the Kings ships, with his new Ambassador to the united States, Le Chevalier de la Luzerne.
It would fill a Volume to give you an History of my Adventures. My Son has accompanied me wherever I have been and is treated with more Attention than his father, tho that is as much as he wishes.
Dont think hard of me for not writing. I have wrote as often as I could. But there are Letters of mine still in the Ports of this Kingdom, which were written I believe 9 Months ago-many many others are in the Sea.
When you come to know how few Letters I have received from America, you will be surprized. There seems to be no Communication of Intelligence between the two Countries or worse than none.
What the Sentiments or Intentions of Congress are concerning me, I know not. Shall find out in Time, I presume. But it seems to most People a little misterious that I should be sent here, and so soon forgotten, so entirely as neither to be ordered to stay, go or come. However, there are Reasons probably that We know not here.
You may form an Idea of the Tenderness with which I expect to see you and ours, in the Course of five or six Weeks.

Postgame thoughts from YSU-Indiana State (updated)
by Joe Scalzo - "A blog about YSU Penguin athletics, not the insides of penguins." | 155 entries
UPDATE: As feared, YSU missed the playoffs. Three MVFC teams make it in: North Dakota State, Illinois State (both got first-round byes) and South Dakota State.
1. Before I get to the playoff stuff, I want to say a few things about Saturday's game.
I thought YSU played its best overall game of the season, and maybe of the Wolford era, on Saturday. And I'll start by praising the special teams, which has been criticized this season but played a key role in the 27-6 win over Indiana State.
Michael Wheary had two kickoff returns for 81 yards, including a 56-yarder that set up YSU's second field goal, a 47-yarder by David Brown. That was Brown's career-long. He also had a 20-yarder.
Nick Liste had three touchbacks and pinned four of his seven punts inside the 20. Only one of his punts got returned. The Sycamores started but two drives inside their own 30.
"Pretty good day, obviously," said YSU coach Eric Wolford.
2. YSU's defense made plays all over the place.
The most eye-popping stat was attached to Shakir Bell, who ran for a season-low 54 yards on 18 carries (with a long run of 11). He didn't score a touchdown and was, basically, a non-factor. Considering he ran for 256 yards and four TDs last year against the Penguins, you can understand why DT Aronde Stanton took a look at the stat sheet and did a little dance at the podium in the postgame press conference.
Julius Childs had a team-best seven tackles and had an interception. Donald D'Alesio picked off Bell on a halfback option (and had another interception called back due to pass interference). Dom Rich had a monster sack.
"It was a great group effort today," Rich said. "We're definitely a team that's progressing."
3. Offensively, YSU scored 27.6 points on a team that entered the game giving up just 13 points a game — second-best in the country. The Penguins piled up 394 yards on a team that was giving up just 286.6 yards per game (sixth-best in the country).
If it was Jamaine Cook's last game, well, he went out in style, carrying 30 times for 124 yards and a TD. He also became YSU's all-time leader in all-purpose yards (ahead of Tamron Smith) and became just the second YSU running back to pass 4,000 yards for a career. (Smith still holds that mark.)
Kurt Hess, meanwhile, completed 20 of 28 passes for 248 yards and two TDs and looked like the guy we all saw against Northern Iowa. He entered the game tied with Tom Zetts on the school's career passing TD list and now holds the record all by himself. He could put it completely out of reach by the end of next year.
Christian Bryan had five catches for 84 yards and Andrew Williams (who has just gotten better and better) caught four passes for 91 yards and both TDs.
Plus, YSU controlled the ball for 36 minutes and 36 seconds. You're going to win a lot of games doing that.
4. Afterward, Wolford was confident YSU would make the playoffs but, well, he's a confident guy. And even if he wasn't, he's certainly not going to let the playoff committee see any quotes that aren't confident.
I wish I was that optimistic. I think the loss to Illinois State, in which the Penguins blew a 28-7 lead, is going to end up costing them a playoff berth. A 4-4 record in the conference -- which puts them sixth in the standings -- just isn't good enough.
Wolford has argued that "money game" wins (like YSU had against Pitt) should count as two, but by that logic, wins over partial-scholarship teams (like Albany) and non-scholarship teams (like Valparaiso) should count as half a win. Add in conference wins over Western Illinois (which stinks) and one-win South Dakota (which came by 3 points at home) and I just don't think YSU's resume is strong enough. Maybe next year, when the field is expanded to 24 teams, but not this year.
We'll find out what the playoff committee thinks when the results are announced at 1:30 p.m. today on ESPNU.
5. Wolford has been adamant this season is a failure if the Penguins don't make the playoffs. His players said the same thing afterward.
I'm not so sure. I think 7-4, with a three-game win streak to end the season, might not be a success. (Particularly after a 4-0 start.) But "failure" seems too strong a word. I think it was a step forward in a year when YSU was hoping to make a leap.
In his postgame press conference, Wolford talked about how this was the first year he was really able to redshirt recruits, rather than force-feeding them into the lineup. He talked about all the promising young lineman in the program and how he's building a foundation. These are things he should have been emphasizing all season.
As I wrote a few weeks ago, Wolford set the high jump bar at seven feet, then got frustrated when he was criticized for only jumping five. On Saturday, I think the Penguins made it up to six.
They'll have to wait until 1:30 p.m. today to see if they got to seven.

Brits celebrating Oscar nominations
Mirren, Mulligan, Firth among the U.K.'s honoreesLONDON -- There ain't nothing like a dame, and Helen Mirren's best actress Oscar nomination for her role in "The Last Station" proved that once again.
While Mirren's name went missing when nominations for the Orange British Academy Film Awards were announced last month, it resurfaced Tuesday in the Academy Award noms. Her turn as Leo Tolstoy's wife in the film, which opens Feb. 19 in the U.K., gives her a chance at her second Oscar.
All the other Brits scoring major noms for this year's Oscars also are nominated in the same categories for the BAFTA film shindig, which takes place Feb. 21, before the final Academy ballot deadline.
However Oscar's best actress race plays out, Carey Mulligan is considered the favorite at the BAFTAs for the youngster's turn in the British drama of manners "An Education."
"An Education" is the only movie flying the Union Jack in this year's best film Oscar list, and few here would argue that it didn't reap benefits from the extension to 10 nominees this year.
When Colin Firth's name was announced as a best actor nominee, whoops of delight were broadcast from BBC News 24's studio. Firth is nominated for his performance as a grief-stricken gay English professor in "A Single Man."
"I thought I was managing my expectations, but on hearing the news, I discovered new and unfamiliar vocal tones. Perhaps I should do another musical," Firth quipped.
British writers figure in the adapted screenplay category at the Oscars as well.
Nick Hornby's screenplay for "An Education," a movie on which his partner Amanda Posey was one of the producers, received an Oscar nomination. And, in a heartening development, the political satire "In the Loop" also cinched a nom.
Iannucci told THR that his Oscar nom is satisfying because "for a first film, and a comedy at that, to get recognition like this is amazing."
He said he called his mother to give her the good news but she had someone in the house "dealing with her boiler," so she would have to jump up and down and celebrate her son's success later.

08 September 2014
Pretoria - Each year the Ranger Odyssey off-road challenge sees 10 finalists tackling some of Southern Africa's toughest driving challenges in an action-packed cross-continent adventure, driving specially-equipped, locally built Ford Ranger bakkies.
In September, this year's Odyssey competitors will face the most testing terrain that Namibia has to offer over 12 days, 13 stages, and 2500km - and one team of two people will each win the opportunity to drive an Odyssey Ranger for a year.
This year, however, for the first time Ford is building more than just the dozen or so 'Odyssey specials' required for the contest.
From now until the end of September, off-road enthusiasts will be able to buy their own Odyssey Ranger.
It's based on the recently released 'mine-hardened' XL-Plus version, which is specially beefed up for heavy-duty mining and construction work with a corrosion-treated, up-rated frame that allows for a 3500kg towing capacity, special front drive-shaft joints designed to cope with extreme mud environments and stone protection for the rear suspension.
But wait, as they say, there's more…In addition, the limited-edition double-cab Odyssey Ranger comes with an accessory pack that includes a snorkel, allowing drivers to cross deeper bodies of water without endangering the engine, a steel bull-bar to protect the front end, a differential guard to shield the drive-train from marauding rocks, a rubberised load box and black 17" alloy rims.
Power is provided by a 2.2-litre Duratorq engine - built at the Struandale Engine Plant in Port Elizabeth - rated for 110kW at 3700rpm and 375Nm from 1500-2500rpm, mated to a six-speed manual transmission with a transfer 'box for high and low-range all-wheel drive and a lockable rear differential.

Identification of the oldest preserved pieces of Earth's crust in southern Greenland has provided evidence of active plate tectonics as early as 3.8 billion years ago, according to a report by an international team of geoscientists in the March 23 edition of Science magazine.
The finding pushes back the date of continent-forming processes previously determined as 2.5 billion years ago to a much earlier era considerably closer to Earth's formation some 4.5 billion years ago. Geochemical analysis of rocks has previously suggested an earlier date for plate tectonics, but this is the first study to find physical evidence of tectonics among Earth's oldest known rock structures, according to Hubert Staudigel of Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego.

An international team of American and Chinese paleontologists has discovered a new species of mammal that lived 125 million years ago during the Mesozoic Era, in what is now the Hebei Province in China. The new mammal, documented in the March 15 issue of Nature, provides first-hand evidence of early evolution of the mammalian middle ear--one of the most important features for all modern mammals.
Named Yanoconodon allini after the Yan Mountains in Hebei, the fossil was unearthed in the fossil-rich beds of the Yixian Formation and is the first Mesozoic mammal recovered from Hebei. The fossil site is about 300 kilometers outside of Beijing.

Snail-racing is an action-packed spectator sport compared to watching the drift of Earth's continents, which usually move just a few centimetres a year – about as fast as fingernails grow. But occasionally events quicken dramatically, and become interesting enough for a "desk-bound geophysicist" like Dr Tim Wright to pack his bags and go camel-trekking across a desert.

A wedge of sediment, pushed up by glacial movement, may be a buffer against moderate sea level rise, pointing to ocean temperature rise as the key factor in glacial retreat, according to two papers published today (March 1) in Science Express.
"Sediment beneath ice shelves helps stabilize ice sheets against retreat in response to rise in relative sea level of at least several meters," says Richard Alley, the Evan Pugh professor of geosciences, Penn State.

A decade ago, Shuhai Xiao, associate professor of geosciences at Virginia Tech, and his colleagues discovered thousands of 600-million-year-old embryo microfossils in the Doushantuo Formation, a fossil site near Weng'an, South China. In 2000, Xiao's team reported the discovery of a tubular coral-like animal that might be a candidate for parenthood.

National liquidators Hudson Capital Partners and Tiger Capital have bought struggling electronics chain Tweeter, and the Canton merchant will likely be shuttered in the next four to six weeks, according to store employees.
A liquidation sale on the merchandise is underway, and the company will stop its installation services on Nov. 14th.
Tweeter's assets were purchased by the New York investment firm Schultze Asset Management in July 2007 for $38 million after Tweeter initially filed for bankruptcy protection last year. Schultze, which continued to operate Tweeter's roughly 100 stores, declined to comment. Jim Schaye, president of Hudson Capital Partners in Newton, confirmed the liquidation of Tweeter.

Jason Segel Is Writing a YA Trilogy
Just as long as it's not about a dystopian future.
Jason Segel has written a series of young-adult books, he says. He mentioned last night at a Q&A that the books are based on the first script he sold, back when he was just 21. "It's about kids facing their biggest fears, that's about all I can tell you," he said, according to VH1. Segel actually bought back his script from a studio in 2011, and at the time he said the film was a "kids' adventure movie in the style of Goonies or Labyrinth," which would make for a perfectly fine trilogy. Which will obviously then be made into a movie. And the cycle continues.

"Through our University Program we aim to facilitate collaboration between MSC.Software and leading universities, researchers and students to rapidly bring advanced, leading-edge technologies to industry."
MSC.Software has partnered with UCI since 1985. This gift represents the company's continued contributions and commitment to education by preparing the next generation of engineers with a practical skill set they can apply in the workplace.

For me, the New Year meant a much-needed relocation to sunny Sacramento, where I settled into a dilapidated art palace full of rowdy bohemians. Upon first entering the foyer, I almost jumped back when I saw a pointy-eared dog staring me straight in the face. I normally wouldn't have been fazed (I love dogs), but this one wasn't running around with its tail wagging. It was dead.
I'd always thought taxidermy was a sick game played by sick men who hunted animals for sport and mounted their carcasses as trophies. I gagged at the majestic deer turned decoration at every ghost town bar, wept for the thick bear pelts strewn across ski lodge parlor floors. I hated looking into the flat eyes of a sorrowful eagle and thinking how it belonged in the sky, not on a mantle. So you can imagine why I was confused by my hippie roommate's stuffed animal collection.
But it turns out that many animal lovers see taxidermy not as a cruel hobby but as a spiritual memorial, as was the case with my roommate, who had her dog taxidermied in remembrance. There is a whole faction of vegan and vegetarian taxidermists who only use the carcasses of animals killed by natural causes or accidents. As vegan taxidermist Nicola Jayne Hebson said in a recent interview in Vice, "I would never kill or harm another animal for the purpose of my art. My only intentions are to preserve the beauty of animals that would otherwise be discarded and labeled as waste."

In a way, taxidermy draws on the Native American tradition of respecting the animal by using every single part of it. Some taxidermists feel that bringing an animal "back to life" through taxidermy is a way of restoring its dignity.
That said, there are more than 75,000 taxidermists in the U.S. according to community sites, and I'd venture to say that most of them are more worried about aesthetics and bragging rights than the spiritual well-being of the animal. Not to mention those who do hunt and kill game for both food and commercial purpose. Apparently, those wishing to create and sell taxidermy pieces are supposed to possess Wildlife and Countryside Act General Licenses, which regulate the ethics and procedures surrounding the sale of taxidermy. But that's not to say there aren't weirdos holed up in rooms full of poached animal carcasses ignoring the rules entirely.

It's a tough line, and one that most vegans probably don't even want to approach. But next time you enter a home or establishment flaunting a taxidermy mount, it might be worth it to ask for that animal's story. Because maybe it's not all bad.

I've talked about raptures in some other thread of mine. There is more than one rapture. And of them there are ones where the body vanishes as well as ones where just the inner person is taken/removed.
If you have an open mind then I give you a truth. Someone was already taken. The inner person, not the body though. The body left in the particular case is not how the other bodies will be left when their inner persons are taken later.
You wanna know more look in Matt 24 and Luke 17 about "the" carcase/"the" body. The inner person is temporarily deleted. The body left, or carcase rather, is an eletronic negative worked like a remote puppet. You see the body usually on T.V. like the world does without knowing surely. Let me give you a clue... Many think they see G.W.B. still when they see his former body.
The rapture is not the taking so much depending on how one should see it. The first rapture has to do with one male body here vanishing in thin air. This one is the anti-Christ body Satan is the person in. Satan shall depart here and the Anti-Christ body because He (Satan) is the Lord as many least expected. After that event then is the devil (not Satan) taken out all the human bodies. Those bodies shall fall for decomosing. After that event, then are the worthy some raptured just like Satan was without a trace of a body. Then after that event are the left ones (not the devil) taken. These are the betrayors of our Lord us. They dont make it to life and paradise. Both the devil and the betrayors go to seperate hells.
Any person deleted shall be brought back by memory the Lord has in His throne. Any body deleted shall not be brought back and nor does the body enter life and paradise. Persons recieving life and paradise get new better preferred bodies to work.
G.W.B. the Lord shall put in death and hell which is the fate of the rest of our betrayers. The devil shall be put in death and hell 1 they can exit only to enter death and hell 2 where it is their torment turned on them in full. Right now the devil's memory is kept from having knew it's kingdom of torment. It shall remain that way till the devil exits death and hell 1. The devil shall find out which is worst.

Maybe the evidence the guy in the video presents is just one of the signs?

I agree, Yeshua will drop by after the tribulation, I've seen enough evidence that conviences me to be post-trib, no matter what though, what matters here and now is that we are living right and encoraging others to do the same, to take on the likeness of Yeshua. It's not about saying a prayer to get a free ticket to heaven, it's about the life you live and about your relationship with God.
We should live like there's no tomorrow.

A whole lot of people take the parable of the fig tree figuratively, when it should be taken literally. A sign is meant to point to God. The rainbow is a sign, circumcision is a sign, etc, etc.
What happens to a fig tree in the spring right after those tender leaves appear? Don't at some point figs appear? You know, the fruit....
Anyways, Jesus was once hungry and he went up to a fig tree and there was no fruit on it. He blew on it and told it to never produce fruit again.
'The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it's going.'
I'm 100% positive - that the anointed Messiah, Jesus is the master blower.

Possibly true! But its also very important to allow scripture to interprete your belief and to believe what scripture says! Not parts of it you choose! "No one knows the "DAY" "HOUR" That doesnt mean you will not know what week! He was basicly saying, 'keep your eyes open, be ready!
He said to keep watch, so you are ready!

Supernatural characters make New Year's resolutions for 2016
The new year is almost upon us, which means it's time to set those New Year's resolutions. Seeing as some TV characters have had a tough 2015, why not come up with some resolutions for them? If their 2016 can be a bit happier and a lot less stressful, that will surely make for a better year.
More:Supernatural: 6 Thought-provoking questions Amara brings up about God
Take the Supernatural characters, especially Sam and Dean Winchester. They definitely haven't had the easiest of years. I mean, when do they? From Dean bearing the Mark of Cain to Sam helping release the Darkness to free his brother of the Mark to losing loved ones along the way, 2015 hasn't been too kind to the Winchesters.
Here's hoping 2016 goes smoother for the boys. Seeing as the show is titled Supernatural and Sam and Dean are hunters who are trying to make the world a safer place, well, that probably won't happen. But, hey, you never know.
That said, here are some resolutions for each Supernatural character based on everything that's happened in Season 11, because they need all the help they can get during the new year.
1. Sam Winchester
Resolution: Get out of Lucifer's cage, stat.
At this moment in time, the only thing Sam needs to worry about is getting out of the cage. I mean, if he's stuck in there for a while, he may just succumb to Lucifer and agree to become his vessel. That only spells very bad things for Sammy's future.
2. Dean Winchester
Resolution: Escape Amara's pull, but decipher their connection.
Similar to Sam and Lucifer, Dean needs to break free of Amara. Their connection is strong. Here's hoping in 2016, Dean can finally figure out why he shares such a tight bond with Amara, all while escaping her intense pull.
3. Castiel
Resolution: Stop binge-watching Netflix and become a badass angel again.
I need more Castiel this season. First, he needs to stop binge-watching Netflix. Then, he can hopefully turn back into the badass angel he once was. It's time for Castiel to shine again.
4. Crowley
Resolution: Continue being the King of Hell, but don't die in the process.
Anyone else feel like Crowley's days are numbered? He's lasted this long as the King of Hell, but I have a bad feeling he might not make it out of Season 11 alive. Let's hope 2016 means more King of Hell Crowley and not a dead Crowley because of the Darkness and/or Lucifer.
More: Supernatural: Will Sam once again become Lucifer's vessel?
5. Rowena
Resolution: Form that Mega Coven and go on a date with Lucifer.
Seriously, what is it going to take for Rowena to get her Mega Coven? Is it too much to ask? That might not bode well for Sam and Dean, but Rowena deserves some happiness, too, right? Hey, maybe she can also go on a date with Lucifer. Come on, I know I'm not the only one shipping these two.
6. Amara
Resolution: Find her brother and settle the family score.
It's time for Amara and God to come face to face. She'll continue to wreak havoc if it doesn't happen. Also, maybe that means her dark plan can be put to a stop and/or come to an end. You know what that means? A hopefully brighter future for Sam and Dean.
7. Lucifer
Resolution: Break out of the cage with Sammy as his vessel — but not permanently.
Lucifer is one of the greatest additions to Supernatural, so let's hope he isn't in that cage forever. I know, I know, this would mean terrible things for both Sam and Dean. By no means do I want Sam to be Lucifer's permanent vessel, so maybe they can get around that somehow. Either way, you know this is partly what Lucifer wants for 2016 — and knowing him he'll probably get it.
8. God
Resolution: Finally show his face.
God had better show his face in 2016. It is long overdue. Plus, if Chuck really is God, then that means the return of Rob Benedict, which would be spectacular.
Supernatural returns on Wednesday, Jan. 20, at 9/8c on The CW.

The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass Chapter 10
On January 1, 1833, Douglass goes to live with Mr. Covey. Within a week, Douglass gets a severe whipping because he is unaccustomed to being a field hand. On one errand, Douglass undergoes two near-death experiences while driving oxen. Upon finishing his task, Douglass is punished for his incompetence. Mr. Covey takes Douglass out to the woods and beats him with switches. For the first six months of the year, Douglass is beaten regularly. Mr. Covey works his slaves to the point of exhaustion. A hard-working man himself, he gets the slaves to work hard at all times by sneaking up on them. Thus the slaves refer to him as "the snake." Mr. Covey's most prominent characteristic is to deceive. Douglass believes that Mr. Covey deceives himself into believing that he is a sincere worshipper of God. But his actions speak differently. In one instance, Mr. Covey purchases a slave named Caroline, an able-bodied woman, as a breeder. He hires a married slave to shack up with her for the purpose of getting her pregnant. She gives birth to twins and he regards them a welcome addition to his wealth. As for Douglass, he experiences his darkest days of slavery in the first six months working for Mr. Covey.
"I was broken in body, soul, and spirit. My natural elasticity was crushed, my intellect languished, the disposition to read departed, the cheerful spark that lingered about my eye died; the dark night of slavery closed in upon me; and behold a man transformed into a brute!" Chapter 10, pg. 105
Topic Tracking: Dehumanization 7
Douglass is broken to the point of wanting to take his life and that of Mr. Covey. But a flicker of hope keeps him going. Douglass looks longingly at the vessels on the Chesapeake Bay, with their white sails and their swift mobility. He contrasts his condition of bondage to the freedom of the noble ships. It produces in him an overwhelming desire to escape from slavery or die trying. He convinces himself to endure because a better day is coming.
After six months of dreadful treatment, Douglass tells of an incident with Mr. Covey that turns him from a slave into a man. One hot day in August 1833, Douglass and three other slaves are put to work on fanning wheat. Douglass, seized by a sudden failure of strength, falls down from exhaustion. On hearing the fan stop, Mr. Covey comes over and gives him a swift kick in the side. After trying unsuccessfully to get up, Douglass lies on the ground expecting the worst. Mr. Covey strikes him on the head with a hickory slat and it causes blood to run down freely. Douglass takes a great risk and takes to the road, hoping to get protection from Master Thomas Auld at St. Michael's. After some five hours covering seven miles, Douglass finally arrives at his master's store, looking like a man who has barely escaped death. Douglass tells him what happened, but Master Thomas commands him to go back or else. The next morning, Douglass makes his way back, disappointed and without hope. On coming back, Mr. Covey wastes no time in trying to beat him again. Douglass manages to hide in the cornfields. That night, Douglass runs into a slave named Sandy Jenkins. The old slave invites Douglass to his house and in hearing the story of Douglass's dilemma, advises him to carry a certain root that would protect him from harm. Although hesitant at first, Douglass agrees to give it a try. The next morning, following Sandy Jenkin's instructions, he carries the root upon his right side. To his surprise, Mr. Covey speaks to him kindly as he goes to church. The next morning, however, while Douglass is working in the stable, Mr. Covey comes in to beat him. As he is being tied up, Douglass fights back. After nearly two hours of struggle, Mr. Covey relents. Douglass feels that Mr. Covey has gotten the worst of the fight. Afterwards, Mr. Covey does not raise a hand against Douglass. This incident is an important turning point in Douglass's life.
"My long-crushed spirit rose, cowardice departed, bold defiance took its place; and I now resolved that, however long I might remain a slave in form, the day had passed forever when I could be a slave in fact. I did not hesitate to let it be known of me, that the white man who expected to succeed in whipping, must also succeed in killing me." Chapter 10, pg. 113
The only explanation Douglass has as to why Mr. Covey does not have him publicly punished for the crime of raising his hand against a white man is to keep his reputation as a first-rate overseer and "nigger-breaker." Douglass's service to Mr. Covey ends on Christmas day, 1833. The days between Christmas and New Year's day are holidays for the slaves. Douglass feels that the slaveholders give these days as an outlet for the slaves' otherwise dreary existence. It is not due to the kindness of the slaveholders. They use clever tactics such as encouraging the slaves to get drunk. In experiencing the negative excesses of freedom, the slave is then more tolerating of slavery. This principle of disgusting the slaves with the very things they desire is a common practice among the slaveholders.
Douglass goes to work for Mr. William Freeland, a fair and respectable slaveholder who is devoid of religious pretensions. Of all the slaveholders he has known, the worst are the religious ones. He describes the conduct of one reverend, Mr. Rigby Hopkins, whom he considers the greatest religious hypocrite. He relishes beating his slaves and even considers the whippings his religious duty.
Mr. Freeland owns two slaves: Henry Harris and John Harris. Within a short period of time, Douglass rounds up a few slaves who want to learn how to read. They call it the Sabbath school because the meetings are on Sundays. Soon, over forty slaves, some from the surrounding farms, attend for the sheer joy of learning. Douglass regards teaching the slaves the most rewarding time of his life as a slave. He is overcome with emotion when he thinks about the slaves shut off from learning. In addition to the Sabbath school, Douglass teaches the slaves at home. The year passes without Douglass having received one blow. He gives credit to Mr. Freeland, whom he considers the best master he has had before becoming his own master.
Douglass is hired for another year, but he resolves to not let the year pass without attempting an escape. Douglass expresses his sentiments with wordplay: "But, by this time, I began to want to live upon free land as well as with Freeland; and I was no longer content, therefore, to live with him or any other slaveholder." Chapter 10, pg. 122 Douglass recruits several other slaves to escape with him. They are Henry Harris, John Harris, Henry Bailey (his uncle), and Charles Roberts (uncle-in-law). After much planning, they finally decide upon a plan to take a boat up the Chesapeake Bay during the Easter holidays. Douglass has to devote much of his energy into reassuring and encouraging the other slaves. The day of their intended escape, Douglass is overcome with a feeling that they are betrayed. It proves to be correct as Douglass and the others are rounded up.
Henry refuses to be tied up and there is a scuffle before he is eventually subdued. During the scuffle, Douglass is able to get rid of the pass that he has written for their escape. Before they are taken away, Mr. Freeland's mother, Betsy Freeland, hands Henry and John some biscuits. She rebukes Douglass for corrupting their minds to run away. On the way, Douglass tells Henry to eat his pass and he spreads the word to own nothing. They are taken to the Easton jail where they spend a couple of days. Slave traders come by like vultures to see if the slaves will be put up for sale. Mr. Hamilton and Mr. Freeland come and take the others home, leaving Douglass in jail all alone. After a week, Captain Auld comes to take Douglass home, intending to send him to Alabama. But instead, Douglass is sent to Baltimore once again to the home of Mr. Hugh Auld.
After being away for more than three years, Douglass returns to Baltimore. He is immediately hired to learn how to calk. But first, Douglass is put to work in assisting the shipbuilders. This requires Douglass to heed the orders of about seventy-five people; he is always at the beckoning call of someone needing help. For eight months Douglass endures the work until he gets into a fight with some white men who are against working with colored people. Douglass fights back, but is eventually badly beaten. Douglass's condition and story garners the sympathy of Master Auld. He goes to a lawyer, but the law states that without the testimony of a white man, nothing could be done about the incident. Master Hugh sends Douglass to another shipyard and he finally learns to calk. Within one year, Douglass earns the wages of the most experienced calkers, at times bringing in nine dollars per week. As Douglass's condition improves, he finds that his desire for freedom increases. During his leisure time, Douglass once again thinks about a possible path to freedom.

As simply as I can, this is what happened:
- The car overheated because all the water fell out of the radiator so fast it didnt register on the temp gauage
- i stopped the car when I heard a funny noise (maybe tappets?) and noticed the oil pressure was low (had to top it up with over 2L!)
- I left it off the road for 2 months while I used another car, then I changed the rad
- I had it booked in for a head gasket change because the water level visually rises even when engine is cold and the coolant looked bubbly
- While driving to the garage the car broke down after 1 mile!! I switched it off for a long set of lights and it wouldn't start again. The starter motor worked but the engine wouldn't kick into life. It sounded like at least one cylinder was trying to fire, but I suspected cylinders were flooded.
- The garage took the head off and they said the gasket hasn't blown as their aren't any visual signs on the gasket of blowing. I looked and saw only one spot on the block to suggest its blown. See pics. (At the time it overheated it had only water without coolant in the rad).
I'm afraid that if I pay him to skim the head and put it all back together, there's still a chance that it wont work because I dont know why the car would refuse to start. Only thing was there was quite a bit of rust on the bores, I guess because I left it for two months. I cleaned most of it off in the pics but cylinder 3 has a big lump of rust caked on there.
I'm not sure what to do

Few things are more heartbreaking than watching your baby suffer with a cold. The mucus (so much mucus!); the tiny chesty cough; the little glassy eyes. It's so sad! And since many of us are reluctant to use any kind of medication on our babies -- and, let's be honest here, there really isn't anything out there that cures a cold -- what to do?
There are a few natural remedies that can help alleviate baby's congestion, cough, and fever. No, none of them will eradicate the nasty sickness altogether, but they'll definitely help shorten it a bit.
Here are 5 natural remedies for baby colds.

Writing this blog has made me braver. How? Well, not only am I sharing my life experiences with those who read it, but it also has me actively looking for activities that would make for an interesting post. I'm always asking myself, "What's something fun I can do, while covering this particular team? What's something I can write about later?"
Last week, it was Gassers with Coach Matt Rhule at Temple, this week it was attempting to ride a hoverboard (or otherwise known as an electric scooter).
Let me set the stage: Every week, as part of my game preparation, I request to talk with one Defensive and one Offensive player. Most of the time, these conversations take place over the phone, but if I have the chance to meet with the player in person, I take it. I had this opportunity on Thursday.
After landing in Tallahassee, I made my way to the FSU athletic facility to have a quick meeting with the team's Left Tackle, Roderick Johnson, and Cornerback, Jalen Ramsey. Johnson came into the meeting room first, and we chatted for about 15 minutes. As we were wrapping up, Ramsey entered the room "gracefully" riding THIS contraption.
Now, I was raised in the 1980's and back then Marty McFly's hoverboard was something every little boy and girl hoped would become a reality!
Whatever Ramsey was on looked really cool, and the conversation that followed went something like this:
Me: "Is that a hoverboard?"
Ramsey: "Yes, sort of."
Me: "Is it difficult to ride?"
Ramsey: "No, not really."
Me: "Can I try?"
Let me stop there for a moment. Remember what I just said, how writing this blog has made me braver? Well, this was one of those moments because when I told my husband I asked to ride a hoverboard, he immediately said "Oh no." You see, balance and coordination are not my greatest assets. Despite that, I thought: How difficult can this really be? After all, I run triathlons and marathons. I can do this!
Note to self: You can't!
That's right, it took me approximately five seconds to go from an upright standing position on the board to the ground, and the trip down was anything but graceful!
Unfortunately, no one captured the moment on video, but it went something like this: Two football players, the Director of Football Communication and football SID gasping and rushing to help me up as I laughed and said, "I'm ok, I'm ok."
So a big thanks to Jalen Ramsey for allowing me test drive AND test crash his hoverboard, and thanks to all four of the guys for being complete gentlemen when I busted my "you know what" in front of them.
I'm really sorry I don't have the video of me falling, we all could have had a great laugh reliving that moment, but I did take the below video of Ramsey hoverboarding through the halls of the Athletic department. No doubt about his coordination!

Welcome to this HP 22-3140 review. This new all-in-one desktop from the house of HP targets light and mid-range users who prefer a clutter-free solution to their everyday computing needs. If you are interested in getting yourself an all-in-one desktop computer under $500, then this one is something you should consider.
But how good is this thing? We hear you. We've discussed every aspect of this computer below and also tell you if this new desktop is worth your time and money. Read the full review and see if this one is cut out for you.
Click Here to read User Reviews!
The HP 22-3140 carries an excellent design language. It looks good, feel premium and everything you would want in a neat desktop computer. The desktop comes in a combination of black and silver. There is a stand that holds the display, and it does a fair job. One disadvantage here is that there is no way to tilt or adjust the height of the display.
The keyboard and the mouse are standard ones. They are wired and not wireless. The desktop should fit in your room nicely as it won't take up a lot of space. The weight is also not that much which means you can move it around easily.
HP 22-3140 Specs
Let's talk about the things that matter the most; the specs on this machine.
The first thing you are going to see is the beautiful display. We have a 21.5-inch screen that comes with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. This is a full HD resolution and the pictures on the screen will be sharp as ever. Yes, there are quad HD monitors on the market right now, and they are better, but at this price point, you can't get anything bigger than this.
This display is a perfect fit for both work and play. The widescreen display can be handy when you need to do your official work. You can run two things side by side using the split screen function and shoot up your productivity. The display is also suitable for watching movies and TV shows in all their glory.
Another useful addition to this display is the touch functionality. You can now touch and interact with the on-screen elements with just your fingers. With an OS like Windows 10, this will be a very promising feature in the coming days.
The HP 22-3140 desktop is powered by an AMD A6 6310 processor that clocks at 1.8GHz. This is a quad-core processor that comes with a maximum clock speed of 2.4GHz that can be achieved with the help of the turbo functionality.
The processor gets a CPUMark score of 2375, and that puts this in a mid-range category. But there are 4 cores on this chip, and they help in a lot of things. You can do all your day to day activities like browsing the web, running office applications, playing casual games and other stuff as well.
There are four gigs of RAM in the memory department. This is not a lot in the current scheme of things. But if you are a light user, then this should be enough memory to get through your day. If you are a mid-range user, this memory might test your patience at times, but that's all we've got here.
Gaming is not the best point of this HP 22-3140 desktop. It comes equipped with only an integrated graphics card in the name of AMD Radeon R4. This GPU is fine for casual games and even some mid-range ones. But for anything more that, you will have to go elsewhere.
There is a 1TB 7200RPM hard drive for storage purposes. This is a spacious drive that can help you to store all your precious data. The drive is also not that slow, but still is leagues behind when compared with solid state drives. The drive also comes with Windows 10 pre-installed. It is the latest and the greatest piece of operating system you will get on a Windows machine.
Connectivity is not a problem in this desktop. You get all the necessary ports that you will need on a daily basis like USB ports, HDMI port, and even a media card reader. The HD webcam will take care of your video calling needs. You can connect to the internet wirelessly as the desktop wireless LAN 802.11b/g/n featuring 2.4GHz 1×1 technology.
HP 22-3140 Review: Verdict
For a desktop in the $500 range, the HP 22-3140 does an excellent job. You get a beautiful 21.5-inch screen that is touch enabled. There is also enough processing power for users like students, business people, and other light users. If you are searching for a neat all-in-one desktop computer, this one is an excellent choice.

Free Lunch on Jesus (FLOJ) is an initiative established by 'The Redeemed Christian Church of God: Holy Ghost Zone, Coventry'. This 'people-centered' initiative allows the church to have a striking impact within the local community in which we reside; we do this by providing Christmas food hamper for families who may not be able to afford a Christmas meal particularly during the Christmas season.
This initiative is very close to the heart of the church as the Church is proud of the many successes of Coventry as a City through the various initiatives and the great work being done in providing tailored support for families and the innovative use of resources for the advancement of the local community. The FLOJ initiative is definitely a worthwhile initiative to help mitigate the sad effects deprivation may have on many households within our City this Christmas. Our mission is simple but passionate, the mission is set to: "Having Compassion, Making a Difference and Alleviating Poverty" within our City.
The initiative which is in its sixth year has in the past covered some of Coventry's most deprived neighbourhoods including: Binley, Hillfields, Willenhall, Wood End and Stoke Aldermoor. For some of the inhabitants of these areas, the warmth and thoughtfulness delivered to such areas with negative reputations through 'Christmas Food Hampers' have truly been a humbling experience for the inhabitants and a rewarding experience for our committed volunteers. Every year we receive messages of gratitude from those who have been impacted by our gesture of generosity, especially where the hampers have provided the only means of a Christmas Dinner for some families. Year on year we have increased the number of hampers we distribute; we recognise and pay particular attention to the changing demographics and population within the City.
This year, the 'Free Lunch on Jesus' 2015 committee is determined to make this outreach mission reach a wider pool of individuals and families. In 2012, 350 hampers were distributed to the inhabitants of Stoke Aldermoor. In 2013, 450 hampers were distributed to the inhabitants of Willenhall. In 2014, 500 hampers were distributed to the inhabitants of Binley. This year, our aim is to distribute 600 hampers to the inhabitants of Foleshill on the 19th of December.

I recently played this course and had a very enjoyable time. They are in the midst of restoring the course (all work being done in-house) and they have a ways to go but they are headed in the right direction.
Hole # 12 a 210 yd. par 3 is just fantastic!! Evidently they recently removed trees in front and behind the green -- now the hole is the best one on the course. It looks so natural --like it has been there for 100 years -- which it has!!
There are several other really good holes on the course -- If you are in upstate New York, I would recommend playing the course.
It is also very close to Turning Stone Resort.

I fell in love.
Solidly, completely.
I love pureed soups to begin with but this... this was something special. It was smooth, creamy, sweet and slightly tangy. I could have licked the bowl.
Usually, I only lick bowls that have chocolate in them.
I found a recipe that looked temptingly good and, one evening, sent the Husband to the grocery store for parsnips. They languished in the fridge for a week, then a few more days. We worked hard on the back mudroom and bought a barbecue that called out for hamburgers. And yet, I kept thinking about parsnips.
Yesterday was a gorgeous day. As I ran my half hour cardio workout after work, I could smell the barbecue on the air. It was not soup weather. Not even close.
But I insisted.
And I was well rewarded.
Apple Parsnip Soup
From the Foodess, not adapted at all
Since I didn't touch the recipe in the slightest, I'm not going to share it here. You should probably be reading Jennifer's blog if you aren't already anyway.
Go here to get the recipe.
With the soup, I served a simple biscuit, light and crumbly, the perfect match.
Rosemary Cheddar Biscuits
2 cups all purpose flour
1 tbsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 tsp dried rosemary
3/4 cup cheddar cheese, finely grated
2/3 cup milk
1/3 cup oil
Preheat your oven to 450*
Mix together the dry ingredients. Add the cheese, followed by the milk and the oil. Mix until just wet and the batter is pulling away from the side of the bowl.
On an ungreased baking sheet, drop the batter in biscuit sized pieces. Pop into the oven for 10-12 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown.
Serve with Apple Parsnip Soup.

Someone looking to be hired in an airport security position will undergo several background checks including those for criminal history records, criminal history verification, air carrier records checks, drug and alcohol history, motor vehicle and national driver registry checks, Social Security tracing and verification, professional license and certificate verification, 10-year application review, worker's compensation history and a professional reference check. After the 9/11 terrorist attacks, a more thorough screening process is required to work in airport security or any position within the airport.Continue Reading
The criminal history records check and verification includes being fingerprinted and cross-referenced with the FBI database and Terrorist Watch list. This check also includes searching for any felony or misdemeanor violations within the county, state or federal courts. Five years of education, employment and unemployment history are also researched, and with some positions, as many as 10 years of history might be checked.
An airport security applicant's drug and alcohol history will be searched for the two years prior to application, and records are searched for any past motor vehicle violations such as accidents, suspensions or revocations. The employment history is also thoroughly reviewed and verified for any gaps in employment or work-related injuries or accidents. An applicant must also provide professional references, which are verified during the background check.
An applicant's Social Security number is used as an identification measurement, in addition to being used to perform a credit check and residence check.Learn more about Geography

Ah, February...the coldest and bleakest month of the year here in New England. Last year, in the midst of a deep seasonal affective moment I wandered into a LYS which had a sale on all their previous summer yarns. In an impulsive move, I purchased an orange ribbon yarn flecked with gold with which to make a macrame-esque tank to wear in my fantasy of approaching warm weather. I have never worn the tank. This year, in a surprisingly sane-for-February way, I purchased a bunch of my new favorite frivolous yarn...AURA (Trendsetter). I had heard rumors of it being DISCONTINUED (NOOOOOOO!!!!), and so quickly purchased an entire crayola spectrum of colors...among them this brilliant sparkling Pink. Now, I have 3 sons, and before that I had 3 brothers. I, myself, was a tomboy and went on to be a physician. I have never owned anything pink, and certainly have never KNIT anything pink. Suddenly, in the shadowy chill of February, I HAD to knit something...ANYTHING...pink.
Then the conundrum...what to make? My sons won't wear pink. All their friends are boys, who also won't wear pink. My husband, brothers, etc, won't wear pink. Even I won't wear pink! I hugged the little pink sparkly ball like a Tribble...I let my love for it flow through my fingers in an attempt to channel ANYTHING pink from my childhood memories...and then it came to me: PEEPS. Remember those ubiquitous classic American Easter candies, small rows of yellow chicks and pink bunnies lined up and closely packed in loving marshmallow rows?!? I recalled how the pink sugary coating sparkled in the Easter sunlight, giving them a magical quality...as though they had been sprinkled with fairy dust and might actually have found their way to my Easter basket on their own, bouncing on their springy marshmallow tails.
Scanning the web, I managed to find a bulky wool suitable for felting in a similarly saccharine shade of pink (Crystal Palace Yarns, ICELAND in Strawberry Pink). Holding a strand of each yarn together, I was off. I rapidly designed a giant pink PEEP. So that you might delight the little ones in your life...or maybe just find your "way back" inner child in the dark of February, I have shared my pattern HERE.

CMU Baseball Headed to NAIA World Series
FAYETTE, MO - The 37-year drought is over. Central Methodist's Mike Wagner turned a game-ending double play Sunday at Estes Field against Culver-Stockton (Mo.) to give the Eagles their second-ever Heart of America Athletic Conference baseball championship and first since 1975.
The Eagles also clinch an automatic berth in the 57th Annual Avista-NAIA Baseball World Series, which starts with Opening Round play May 9-13.
Central Methodist won the league outright in the first contest on Senior Day by a score of 15-4 on the strength of four homeruns, two by Jesse Zellner. The Green and Black scored the final 15 runs of the game after falling behind 4-0 in the top of the first inning to Culver-Stockton.
Sunday marked the appearance at Estes Field for the Eagles' Drew Greiwe, Shane Lowe, Colby Stack, Dustin Ray, Travis Tompson, Daniel Peters, Neal DeMartin, Mike Allen, Bobby Murmolow and Carter DeMay. The triumph was also bittersweet for Fred Smith, coaching in his last go-around in the regular season after announcing in March his retirement effective at the end of this season.
After the Wildcats scored the first four runs of game one in the first, it was all Central Methodist. The Eagles cut the deficit to one in the bottom half-inning before taking the lead for good in the next frame when Peters scored on a fielder's choice.
Zellner started the homerun parade in the third inning, hitting the first of his two towering shots to left to make the score 7-4. Leading 8-4 in the fifth, the Eagles exploded for three homeruns in the bottom of the frame, including two three-run blasts by Kyle Poynter and Wagner. Zellner belted his second dinger of the game, a solo shot, to end the scoring barrage.
Zellner finished game one 3-for-4 with four RBI and two runs scored. Wagner (4) and Poynter (3) combined for seven RBI. Lowe drove in two. Peters, Wagner, Lowe and DeMartin each had two hits.
After allowing four runs in the first inning, Central Methodist's Tyler Paule (4-3) blanked the Wildcats in the final six to finish the complete game on the mound. He gave up nine hits and had two strikeouts.
Pitcher Brock Kartheiser (4-3) lasted only two and two-third innings and took the loss in game one, allowing eight earned runs on 11 hits.
In game two, Culver-Stockton used two RBI singles in the fifth by Jason Schwartz and Gene Nanny to halt the Eagles' three-game win streak.
Ray, in his first at-bat of the second affair, recorded his 100th career hit in an Eagles' uniform. His double down the right field line in the bottom of the first was one of the Green and Black's four hits in the game.
Zach Engelbrecht (3-3) earned the win in game two on the mound, tossing a seven inning, four-hit shutout.
The Eagles worked a staff game in the final contest of the regular season, using six pitchers overall. Mike Wagner (7-3) suffered the defeat, allowing two unearned runs on three hits in an inning of relief. Tompson, Alex Hunter, Stack, Aaron Schuster and Zellner combined for six innings of one-hit, scoreless ball.
Before heading to the World Series, Central Methodist plays in the 2013 HAAC Tournament and enters as the top seed. The double-elimination tournament between the top six overall teams in the league is set for May 1-4 at Phil Welch Stadium in Saint Joseph, Mo.

Get started today
If you're already a New Zealand based Airpoints™ member with an online account, you're ready to go. Just follow these easy steps:
- Sign into your Airpoints account
- Go to My Balances
- Click the Shairpoints™ tab
If you're not an Airpoints member, you can join today. It's free.
When you create a Shairpoints account you become the 'Enabler'. Each year* you can invite up to four people to join your Shairpoints account. Two of those people can live at a different postal address within New Zealand to you. The maximum number of members a Shairpoints account can have is five and a person can only belong to one group at a time. The invitations to join your Shairpoints account will be valid for seven days.
TIP: If someone lives at the same address as you, make sure their Airpoints™ address is written exactly the same as yours. For example, if yours has 'Road' and they use 'Rd' it won't be recognised as the same address. You can update your Airpoints details at any time by signing into your Airpoints account and visiting your My profile page.
*The year is calculated from the anniversary of the Enabler's date of joining Airpoints. Each year a new allocation of four invitations will be given.
The Enabler controls which members are Spenders or Non-spenders of the Airpoints Dollars™ in the Shairpoints™ account. The Enabler can change a member's role at any time.
Everyone's Airpoints Dollar balances will show as a combined total in the Shairpoints account. To view the balance of the Shairpoints account sign in to your Airpoints™ account and go to My Balances and then the Shairpoints tab. Only the Enabler and Spenders can see this total balance and spend Airpoints Dollars from the Shairpoints account. When spending Airpoints Dollars, the Airpoints Dollars earned first by any member of the Shairpoints account are used first, regardless of who earned them.
Non-spenders can still sign in to their own Airpoints account to view and spend Airpoints Dollars they have personally earned.
Anyone can leave a Shairpoints™ account at any time. When someone withdraws, their personal Airpoints Dollar™ balance is removed from the Shairpoints account total. If the Enabler has used their annual allocation of four accepted invitations, they will have to wait for the next allocation before inviting someone else. When the Enabler withdraws from a group, the Shairpoints account is closed and each member retains any remaining Airpoints Dollars they have earned.

An Italian friend of mine had an Italian restaurant and used this recipe for over 30 years. When he retired, he graciously consented to passing it on to me. I will share it with you. It is excellent as meatballs, in spaghetti sauce, hamburger patties, or on pizza. This Recipe was prized by him and revered by many. We are lucky to have gotten this Recipe.
As an old school Italian, there isn't nearly enough spice for 20 lbs of pork. Surprised you can get any flavor at all. I've modified several times and I'm getting close to what I consider real Italian hot sausage from the neighborhood. Good spices, just needs a little help. Try this: * cut back to 3-4 lbs of pork (grind your own) * 1/2 tsp salt, * 1 tbs garlic salt, * 1/2 tsp pepper, * 1 tbs paprika, * 1/4 C olive oil, * 1/2 tbs anise , * 2 tbs fennel seed, (fennel is porks best friend) * 1 tbs red pepper Trick: after is sets overnight, fry up a meatball of it and check its flavor. Add what you think it needs and set it overnight again. If it's fresh you should be able to do this several times before you have to freeze it or cook it. Vinnie - 05 Feb 2011 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
Well, what can I say but awesome hot Italian sausage. I worked in Italian restaurants for 7-8 years and ours was never this tasty (although we would buy it in from local Italian butchers/deli's. I scaled down this recipe to 4 servings (1lb pork) just to see, I will buy 2-3 pounds next time and freeze in individual portions. I could not find the anise seed so simply left it out and was fine without. I compared this recipe to a few others I saw and could not believe the amount of peppers fennels used in theirs, way too hot, you want a nice hot taste you can enjoy while still tasting the pork like this recipe gives, perfect! you don't want to blow your head off, what for? might as well just cover a plain burger/sausage in tobasco!! I also just had this plain on a portuguese roll(can't find good Italian bread here apart from ciabatta) no butter no onions or peppers, with sausage this tasty you don't need anything else really. Thanks (UPDATE) I just scaled this recipe to 12 portions(3lb pork) don't do it, the ingredients are all wrong! the pork says 3 pounds which is 3 times the original recipe I made(1lb porkbut all the salt and rest of ngredients has been multiplied by 4!! way too salty, couldn't believe it. So, scale down the recipe to 4 or 8 servings but not 12 as it is all wrong. - 23 Jul 2005 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
Okay this recipes ROCKS!!! It's super easy and it taste sooooo authentic. I live in Europe and I even like it better than the meat market sausages here. I made sausages and made sandwiches with them....YUMMY!!! This one's a keeper. - 01 Apr 2002 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
