Today we continue with Lide Plowman's memories of her father and life in the Plowman household. If this is your first visit to this blog, you will want to read part one of this autobiographical story of life in the mid-1800's in Michigan. The family tree chart is at the end of today's post.
Before I can remember, father built a large log house to accommodate the increasing family and used the old one for tools and black salts. They used black salts to make soda and the like. A shed on the east end of the house was a work shop.
The first chimney was built of narrow flat split sticks, laid in plaster and plastered inside and out. The jambs or sides of the fireplace, built of large stones, were about five feet apart, and spread out toward the front, which made a nice large place for the family to sit around. The back of the fire place was laid up of stone. The first hearth I remember was of brick, but at first it was likely of stone.
The wood we burned would be a wonder to children now. The body of the trees were drawn to the house by hooking a chain around the larger end, and the other end of the chain hooked into the ox yoke. A 12" to 16" log chopped into four foot lengths served for a back log, while a log 6" or 8" thick served for a top stick. This made the foundation of the fire, after which kindling was placed under, and smaller sticks piled between.
You will wonder how these large logs were brought in. We were never without a stout large home made sled with four posts. The large log was rolled on to it and the stakes put in place, with one boy drawing and one behind pushing, it was brought in before the fire place. Then with a boy at each end it was put in place. Then another load for top and fore stick.
The kindling was placed on "live coals" and the small wood put on top. We never let the fire go out, for in those days we had no matches, and the only way to start a fire was by the use a flint or to borrow from the neighbors. I myself remember going over the crick to Uncle Sammy's with a little shovel to borrow fire.
You who have never seen such a fire have no idea of the heat and light it afforded. A candle was not needed to read by and we were all comfortable, if we were not too close. I wish I could tell you the pleasure we had in watching the fire, seeing the flames and the sparks fly up and coals fall, and the many queer and fanciful shapes fashioned by it all. It would take a post to do this justice, and we'll let Till and Sate help us out.
The great bed of coals served to cook our meals. A long shovel was used to draw out enough coals to fry a large spider of meat. The spider had three legs and set over the coals. A crane hung and swung in the chimney supplied with iron hooks on which to hang kettles, for vegetables, meat and an iron tea kettle, when the fire was low the hooks were hooked in to each other to bring the kettles near the fire.
Bread was baked in a tin oven set before the fire, and over the coals. This oven looked something like a leanto, set back from the house, with a place for the dripper where the upper floor would be. The bright tin of the roof helped to brown the top of the bread, while the coals browned the bottom. This dripper must have been about 10" by 24" and was the one grandmother Plowman (Emily Crane's mother) used for pumpkin pies for the boys, when Father and Mother went to Oakland. I have heard Ezra and Charlie and Saron say they asked for a pie thick enough that when they bit into it it would touch their noses.
I can just remember when father brought home the first stove. I must have been about 6 or 7 years old. This stove was never a good baker, so our bread was still baked in front of the fire or in the outdoor oven until the elevated oven came in to our home, when I was maybe 12 or 14. Even after that, mother during harvest would bake 15 loaves of bread and pies in the outdoor brick oven, which had taken the place of the mud oven. I wonder if George or Lute remember splitting oven wood for mother? It was not a job the boys liked.
Bringing in of the night wood was a job for two boys and the sled. We had a shut-in stairway which was an unusual thing in the new country, as a hole in the chamber and ladder running up to it was the usual thing. Between this stairway and the fire place was a space about 4 feet wide at the bottom and running up narrower. I have no idea how many sled loads of wood it took to fill this space, likely one fourth cord.
The fireplace was a cheerful, comfortable place for the family to gather to talk over the days doings, with mother and sisters knitting (mother did not spin and weave much after I can well remember, although Till and I helped her some.) Father reading or finishing off an ax helve, of which each of the boys had their own, some righthanded, and some left, to suit the boy. They were first shaped with a draw shave, then smoothed with a pocket knife, then scraped with a piece of window glass and rubbed with fine sandpaper until smooth as a piece of glass. No one could make a better one than father.
Can any of you remember our brothers sitting facing each other straddle a flat iron shovel handle, placed on their chairs, with a bushel basket between them, shelling corn (on the handle)? Not for the chickens and geese. Oh! No. That was a daily job for the smaller ones; but to make meal for food for the family, and some of the animals. (How I should like some for my Christmas present, we never have any now so good).

While tricky, it's possible to achieve that delicate balance between weight loss and optimal performance.
Losing or maintaining weight is usually a goal that ranks pretty high on a runner's priority list. Whether it is for optimal performance, general health, or even the reason they started running in the first place, weight is a critical issue for runners. Unfortunately, despite how close the relationship may seem, losing weight and running at your best aren't easy to do in conjunction.
If you understand the basic principles of weight loss, you recognize that the most critical factor in weight loss is incurring a calorie deficit. To do so, not only do you have to measure portion sizes, but you have to control the quality of the foods you consume; specifically, limiting your intake of simple carbohydrates. This is why low-carb diets are effective.
However, on the opposite spectrum, to train hard and recover quickly from difficult workouts, a runner must consume adequate calories and fuel with complex carbohydrates — and even simple carbohydrates at the right times. Being in a constant caloric deficit and not providing the muscles with the right type of fuel will leave you tired, struggling to recover, and will derail your performances.
So, what's the solution if you're a runner who wants to balance hard training and solid race performances with losing weight? Perhaps we can look again to bodybuilders for an answer. By modifying the time-tested bodybuilding strategy of carb-cycling to the specific metabolic and training demands of runners, it's possible to achieve that delicate balance between weight loss and optimal performance.

I was recently challenged to rethink my public-schools paradigm.
Allow me to explain. You see, in recent years, and probably more this year than any other, public schools have been used as a political volleyball. They seem to be the legislative hot potato that generates the most news from inside the Beltline. They also play a large part in determining which politicians get elected – at all levels.
Between school budgets, charter-school caps, teacher tenure and Common Core, educational issues are daily headlines.
Working inside the school community for nearly 40 years, and listening to politicians – many of whom have little (or no) connection with public schools – discuss the "best" course of action for our students, I often shake my head and wonder how we got to this point.
However, this political paradigm has to change. While we do have a clear responsibility to advocate for our schools, we must not get too caught up in the politics.
To that end, I have accepted the challenge to shift my thoughts about public schools – from politics to consumerism.
Consumerism is surely not a new concept. In fact, when it was presented, I quickly dismissed the notion. After all, a high percentage of school-age children residing within our school district are already attending our schools. Yes, we have competition from private schools, charter schools and home schools, but Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools has enjoyed tremendous success and public support for decades. The school district has a sterling reputation, even beyond our community.
So, with all that success, and with the majority of children already attending our schools, one might question why we need to view our schools through the lens of consumerism?
The answer is two distinct reasons.
First, our public schools are, and have been since inception, a community hub. Strong schools drive our economy, our commerce, our kinship, and our quality of life. Thomas Jefferson suggested an educated citizenry is the basis of an indispensable democracy. Thus, it is vital that we maintain a focus on healthy and vibrant public schools.
Second, the support of our community – via both student attendance and tax funding – is crucial to the existence and well-being of our schools.
We do not want to wake up five years from now and wonder why thousands of our students have decided on other educational alternatives. This has been the reality of many of my superintendent colleagues from other parts of our state and nation. That scenario would devastate our school district and severely impede our community.
So, before that happens, we need to make sure that, as a school system, we instill confidence in our consumers. We also need to tell the stories of our schools. Amazing things happen in classrooms throughout Carrboro and Chapel Hill on a daily basis.
The school district's unrelenting focus on instructional excellence, which emphasizes thinking, problem solving and student engagement, is making a difference. Our teachers are to be commended for their willingness to implement new instructional strategies that are aimed at reducing achievement gaps and providing rigorous learning challenges for all students.
Children graduating from our schools are prepared for future challenges. They appreciate diversity, work collaboratively to create, embrace technology, willingly take risks and welcome the notion of hard work.
I want our parents and our community to know how much I appreciate them entrusting their children's education to our team. We are grateful for the victories of the past school year, indeed it was cause to celebrate, but we are eager to roll up the sleeves and begin the new school year on August 25.
The 2014-15 school year promises to be a dynamic learning season for all involved. I appreciate all consumers of our schools, and I am honored to be your superintendent.
Tom Forcella is the superintendent of the Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools. His column appears monthly in The Chapel Hill News.

Former Montana Sen. Conrad Burns, a former cattle auctioneer whose folksy demeanor and political acumen earned him three terms and the bitter disdain of his opponents, died Thursday. He was 81.
Burns died of natural causes at his home in Billings, Montana Republican Party Executive Director Jeff Essmann said.
"He was a colorful figure who loved people, politics and to serve," Essmann said. "He brought a common-man, common-sense approach to his work in the Senate, and returned to his home in Billings when his work was done."
As a Republican senator, Burns used his influence on the powerful appropriations panel to set the course on energy...

My Favorite Non-Christmas Christmas Films
Most film columnists start writing their Christmas pieces around August, churning out their memories of It's a Wonderful Life (which is a story in itself – this generation has no idea that the film was considered an oddity and a flop until Jimmy Stewart mentioned it on The Tonight Show and, as it was in the public domain and available for cheap airings, it has since been considered a "classic") and other routine movies that just happen to tell a Christmas like story. Movies like Miracle on 34th Street and Christmas in Connecticut still hold up and there are others I'm sure that do as well, but few movies that are singularly about Christmas float my boat. I've seen them a million times and most are creaky. Here are my favorite Christmas movies, a list my successful and thoughtful brother calls Christmas Movies for People Who Aren't Enamored with Christmas Movies. [Read on here…]

MU Prison Program Strengthens Family Ties
University of Missouri Extension's 4-H program, 4-H LIFE, helps both inmates and their children.
Prison isn't normally thought of as a place to nurture family growth, but one weekend each month dozens of sons, daughters, mothers and grandmothers travel across the state for that very reason.
The program works to help both inmates and their children learn skills that will help them succeed in life, both inside and outside of prison walls.
"4-H LIFE just opens up the door to communicate, to be able to address issues that we wouldn't be able to address in another setting," said Judy Henderson, an inmate at the Chillicothe Correctional Center. "It lets me see a different side of them that I wouldn't normally have the opportunity to see because of the kind of sentence I'm serving."
That experience is one of the goals of 4-H LIFE, which stands for Living Interactive Family Education. Inmates meet weekly to tackle topics like anger management, parenting, communication and other life skills. They discuss their values as well as how their life decisions led them to where they are today. When their families come once a month, they have the opportunity to be a positive influence on them.

Close up of my Dicentra (Bleeding Heart). It's another small one, but seems happy.
These Spanish Bluebells are flowering their socks off a day after I took these photos! I'll have to update. They are gorgeous and look great. I'm hoping they will naturalize!
Tulips, Daffodils, and Tree Peony are all done blooming. The Azaleas are very nearly done.
That's all for now, but I see several things that I hope will bloom in the next couple of weeks!

LITTLE ROCK Windstream says growth in total business and consumer broadband revenue helped it make a profit in the fourth quarter.
The Little Rock-based telecommunications company said net income was $10 million in the fourth quarter, rebounding from a $35 million loss in the same period a year earlier. The company had total revenue and sales of $1.54 billion in the quarter, up more than 27 percent from 1.21 billion a year earlier.
Operating income, meanwhile, jumped from $96 million in 2011 to $172 million in 2012, a 79 percent increase.
Under "pro forma" results, total revenue and sales were down 2 percent in the fourth quarter and 1 percent for the year. The company said pro forma results include its acquisition of PAETEC Holding Corp. and "exclude all merger and integration costs related to strategic transactions."
The company said total business and consumer broadband revenue grew in the quarter such that they now represent 70 percent of total revenue.
"Windstream continues to produce substantial free cash flow that enables us to invest in our business and reduce our debt while continuing to pay our $1 annual dividend," Jeff Gardner, president and chief executive officer, said in a statement. "Our management team and the board of directors unanimously support continuing the dividend at its current rate because we believe it is the best way to create value for our shareholders.
Windstream's goals for 2013 include "investing in the business channel to increase revenue and profitability, completing the fiber-to-the-tower and broadband stimulus initiatives and further deleveraging the balance sheet" to support the dividend.
"We plan to make targeted investments in the business channel this year to drive sales, profitability and improve the customer experience," Gardner said in the statement. "We expect to substantially complete our capital investments related to our fiber-to-the-tower projects and broadband stimulus initiatives. We also expect to further improve our balance sheet by directing excess free cash flow — after our dividend — to debt repayment."
A conference call is set for 7:30 a.m. Interested parties may listen by dialing (877) 374-3977 about 10 minutes before the start time and entering the conference ID 86395871.

The Real Housewives Of NYC Analyze 'Bethenny Ever After' Episode 3
After watching episode three of Bethenny Ever After, I think Bethenny seemed to be arguably more relaxed and happy. She seemed to be very uptight and a little hostile in the first episode, when she was dealing with Jason's family, and stressed out and worrisome in the last episode, as she struggled to balance career, marriage, and motherhood. In this episode, she seemed to be more in her element, working and cracking wise-jokes. But, enough with my analysis. Check out what the Real Housewives of New York City had to say.

Beaumont/Port Arthur
The suspect in yesterday's shooting in Fannett has been identified as 35-year-old Matthew Earl Smith of Hamshire. Smith was charged with murder and is being held on a $1 million bond in relation to the death of 51-year-old Cole Dupuy of Fannett, according to a news release from the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office.
While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth.

Our Services
Our Organization
Our Upcoming Events
Overcoming language barriers is crucial as our city and nation become more multi-ethnic and multilingual.
The Equal Access Office ensures limited-English-proficient citizens equal access to government services so they may actively participate in all levels of government. Our office oversees language assistance services in City departments and agencies.
How Our Office Came About
We're proud that on May 8, 2001, Oakland became the first city in the nation to pass an Equal Access to Services Ordinance to remove language barriers that limited-English speakers encounter when using City services. The Equal Access Office was established after the Ordinance was enacted.
What We Do
The Equal Access Office ensures that City departments comply with the Equal Access to Services Ordinance by:
- Offering bilingual services and language interpretation when a substantial portion of Oakland citizens using a City service are non-English speaking or limited-English speaking
- Taking an active role in staff development, screening and on-going monitoring of City departments
- Consulting with Department of Human Resources Management to recruit employees that sufficiently represent the number of limited-English speaking constituents
- Overseeing professional and citizen training programs to increase the participation and achievement of underrepresented groups.
For more information: Contact Us.
Languages Most Needed in Oakland
The Equal Access to Services Ordinance targets languages spoken by 10,000 or more Oakland residents with limited English speaking ability. According to the 2000 US Census report and the 2008-2010 American Community Survey data (from Global Information System), Spanish and Chinese residents meet the criteria: 12.68% of Oakland residents speak Spanish, and 5.56% speak Chinese.
Oakland's need for language access is growing: In 2010, 40% of Oakland residents spoke a non-English language at home, compare to 37% in 2000 and 30% in 1990.
For related Oakland census charts, please go to Census Information.
Annual Reports
Each year the Equal Access Office presents an annual report to inform the City Council of its accomplishment over the prior fiscal year. The reports are informal in nature. Recent reports are available below. For reports prior to FY 2007-2008, please use the City's Legislative Search feature.
File a Complaint
The Equal Access Office allows people to provide feedback or file complaints on suspected violations of the Equal Access to Services Ordinance. Visit here for details on how to File a Complaint.
Language Assistance
The Equal Access Office provides many kinds of language assistance to Oakland residents. Click here for a list of Language Assistance accommodations.
Translated Documents and Resources
Translated Documents
The Equal Access Office provides translation services to City Departments. To see documents and City services previously translated in various languages, visit Translated Documents.
Other Resources
To better serve limited-English-proficient citizens, the Equal Access Office will continue to gather translated non-City documents in different languages, visit here for Other Resources.

Wait... are they screening a non-3D 48FPS version someplace? I thought all the 2D showings were 24FPS.
There's a decent article over on The Daily Beast pointing out 19 changes from the book to film. I think the writer is nitpicking on a couple of them, meaning yes, they are changes, but they're so minor I probably wouldn't think to point them out, and I think she missed the point on at least one of them...still a good article, though. E...
but I don't like the insertion of Radagast, the Elf-Witch, and the Necromancer. Those characters only merited fleeting references in the books. (Well, Radagast and the Necromancer anyway) To say nothing of whatever Evangeline Lilly is supposed to be doing there.
I'm sure that I'm going to be in the minority for saying this, but I wasn't overly impressed with this one as I was with the LOTR trilogy. Yes, the scenery was great and the costumes were great, and it's great that they finally brought the Hobbit to the big screne. But other than Andy Serkis' performance (which was the best part of the movie IMO), that's about it... It just didn't have the same affect on me that the LOTR trilogy did when I watched it. There just wasn't that 'real' feeling to this movie. There was a lot more CGI feeling to this than I was expecting.

One look at a new behind-the-scenes video from "Strike Back" and its easy to see why star Philip Winchester says, "I love my job."
In the video "Recon" piece, provided exclusively to RedEye by Cinemax, star Sullivan Stapleton takes viewers through a day on the show's South Africa set where they blow the crap out of a car "in true 'Strike Back' style."
But what's this about the brave members of Section 20 robbing the Bogota Stock Exchange? Have Damien Scott (Stapleton) and Sgt. Michael Stonebridge (Winchester) gone rogue? They don't rob places! They fight terrorism around the world.
A larger plan must be in the works, but we'll have to wait until this summer to discover what it is. Another mystery the exclusive photo above and first video below is who the female fighter is behind Stonebridge (not to mention what actress is playing her). Get ready for some surprises.
As I previously reported, Dougray Scott, Robson Green and former Chicagoan Milauna Jackson will appear in the third Cinemax season of the action series. They join Winchester, Stapleton and cast members Michelle Lukes and Liam Garrigan. Rhona Mitra is reprising her role as Maj. Rachel Dalton, the MI-6 spy who took over leadership of Section 20 last season.
The upcoming season will see Section 20 pursuing a deadly terrorist network from Colombia to Beirut to Europe, uncovering deadly plots that reach to the West. The production is currently filming in Budapest, Hungary, after filming in and around Johannesburg, South Africa earlier this year.
I've including a second Recon video below in which Winchester explains how to comandeer a boat. Obviously, it involves diving into dirty waters.
"I smell slightly of poo," Winchester says. "But I think that's normal in wild rivers like this."
Check out the very cool early trailer for the new season and learn more about the new cast members at my previous post here. (If you are on an archived page of this story and can't view the videos, please click here.)
Are you excited for the new season of "Strike Back?" If so, please comment so Cinemax sees how much fans love the show.

After breaking her pregnancy news with PEOPLE Wednesday, Anna Chlumsky debuted her bump on Watch What Happens Live later that evening.
Clad in a fitted animal-print dress, the Veep star — who had planned to keep the sex of her baby under wraps — fell victim to host Andy Cohen's charms.
When asked if she knew what she was having, Chlumsky replies, "I do, I do. We'll be dressing her up, let's put it that way."
On the program with designer Christian Siriano and Decades co-owner Christos Garkinos, talk quickly turned to fashion and designer baby duds.
"My plan is to get as [many] cheap, crazy-looking things as possible," Chlumsky, 32, explains.
"I went on an H&M rampage the other day and bought these crazy leggings with leopards on them — not leopard-print, but leopards. I'm taking advantage of this time to be kind of insane."

WASHINGTON (AP) — Here's what some Republicans want to know: If Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius thinks the new health insurance marketplace is going to be so great, why doesn't she get her own coverage from it?
As a Medicare beneficiary, she can't.
But her response to Republicans who pressed her Wednesday to sign up under a health insurance exchange was problematic. She said that because she's part of the federal employee health plan, she's not eligible to switch to the exchanges.
In fact, Americans who have workplace health insurance, as most with coverage do, can drop it in favor of individual policies offered by the exchanges. But doing so would not make financial sense for most.
A look at the back and forth at a House hearing, with underlying facts:
REP. CORY GARDNER, R-Colo.: "You're in charge of this law, correct? Why aren't you in the exchange?"
SEBELIUS: "Because I'm part of the federal employee health benefit plan. ... I'm not eligible for the exchange."
GARDNER: "You can decide to drop your coverage of your employer. You have the choice to decide not to choose ..."
SEBELIUS: "Not true, sir."
GARDNER: "I would encourage you to be just like the American people and enter the exchange and agree to find a way ..."
SEBELIUS: "It's illegal."
GOP Rep. Billy Long of Missouri also tried.
LONG: "You're architect of the whole program and you won't go into it with the rest of the American public."
SEBELIUS: "I did not say that, sir. I think it's illegal for me to."
LONG: "If you can, will you?"
SEBELIUS: "I will take a look at it."
It would be financially nonsensical for most with federal employee health insurance to step away from it in favor of an individual policy in the exchange. Doing so would mean losing the employer contribution to the health plan. It's also unlikely they would qualify for subsidized coverage available to many who seek insurance in the exchanges because they don't have access to workplace coverage.
But Sebelius' point that she can't do it because her federal employee insurance disqualifies her doesn't hold up.
What does block her from enrolling in an exchange is her status as a Medicare beneficiary, which she did not mention at the hearing. Plans offered by the exchanges cannot be sold to people on Medicare, and her department said in a statement that "the secretary is a Medicare enrollee."
Gardner told the hearing his family chose to have a private policy in Colorado "so we could be in the same boat as every one of my constituents."
But individual private policies are not the norm. Employer-based group coverage is. In that sense, Sebelius is already "just like the American people," as Gardner implored her to become.

VATICAN CITY — Breaking developments that update the post below: Vatican spokesman Father Federico Lombardi today issued a written commentary that rejects accusations of a Vatican cover-up on priestly sex abuse and says efforts to personally involve Pope Benedict XVI in questions of abuse have clearly failed.
Father Lombardi's note makes three main points:
1. The German bishops' conference has taken the right approach to discovering and dealing with abuse cases, in a way that might serve as a model in other countries. One point underlined by the bishops is that the issue of celibacy has no connection with the issue of pedophilia.
2. An interview with Msgr. Charles Scicluna, who deals with sex abuse cases at the Vatican's doctrinal congregation, shows that far from trying to hide such cases, the congregation — under the leadership of then-Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, now Pope Benedict — has made a far-reaching effort to discover and punish these crimes.
3. The Archdiocese of Munich has made it clear that the pope, when he was archbishop of Munich, was unconnected with decisions involving a priest who relocated to the archdiocese and later committed abuse.
"It is evident that over recent days some people have sought — with considerable persistence, in Regensburg and Munich — elements that could personally involve the Holy Father in questions of abuse. To any objective observer, it is clear that these efforts have failed," Father Lombardi said.
The note was titled "A clear route through stormy waters." Here is an English translation released by the Vatican Information Service:
At the end of a week in which a large part of the attention of the European media has been focused on the question of sexual abuses committed by people in institutions of the Catholic Church, we would like to make three observations:
Firstly, the line being taken by the German Episcopal Conference has shown itself to be the right way to face the problem in its various aspects. The declarations of the president of that conference, Archbishop Zollitsch, following his meeting with the Holy Father, recap the strategy laid down in the conference's recent assembly and reiterate its essential operational aspects: recognition of the truth and help for victims, reinforcement of preventative measures and constructive collaboration with the authorities (including the judicial authorities of State) for the common good of society. Archbishop Zollitsch also unequivocally reiterated the opinion of experts according to whom the question of celibacy should in no way be confused with that of pedophilia. The Holy Father has encouraged the line being followed by the German bishops which – even taking account of the specific context of their own county – may be considered as a useful and inspiring model for other episcopal conferences that find themselves facing similar problems.
Furthermore, an important and wide-ranging interview given by Msgr. Charles J. Scicluna, promoter of justice of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, gives a detailed explanation of the significance of the specific canonical norms established by the Church over the years to judge the heinous crimes of sexual abuse of minors by members of the clergy. It is absolutely clear that these norms did not seek, and have not favored, any kind of cover-up of such crimes; quite the contrary, they initiated intense activities to confront, judge and adequately punish the crimes in the context of ecclesiastical legislation. And it must be remembered that all this was planned and set in motion when Cardinal Ratzinger was prefect of the Congregation. The line he followed was always one of rigor and coherence in dealing with even the most difficult situations.
Finally, the archdiocese of Munich has replied, with a long and detailed communique, to questions concerning the case of a priest who moved from Essen to Munich at the time in which Cardinal Ratzinger was archbishop of that city, a priest who subsequently committed abuses. The communique highlights how the then archbishop was completely unconnected with the decisions in the wake of which the abuses took place. Rather, it is evident that over recent days some people have sought – with considerable persistence, in Regensburg and Munich – elements that could personally involve the Holy Father in questions of abuse. To any objective observer, it is clear that these efforts have failed.
Despite the storm, the Church clearly sees the route she must follow, under the sure and rigorous guidance of the Holy Father. As we have already had occasion to observe, it is our hope that this torment may, in the end, help society as a whole to show ever greater concern for the protection and formation of children and adolescents.

It's Christmas card time and I have only one this year.
And it goes to the Detroit Lions.
Dear bankrupt, sorry, toads of the NFL,
Thank you for your disgusting, lackluster attempts at football this season.
While real football franchises such as the Packers and Bears struggled with injuries, you had none. You had the division title given to you on a silver platter, and you were not man enough to take it. Ridiculous losses against the Eagles and Ravens have lowered you to butt clown status.
My friends in Detroit call you "SOL." That means "Same Old Lions." You have Matthew Stafford, Calvin Johnson, Reggie Bush, a defensive line any team would die for … and you're in third place!
My friends from Michigan call and leave me voice mails. FYI: I'm not a suicide prevention hotline. Quit calling me!
But mostly, I just want to say thanks for being in our division. Without you guys, we'd have no shot at the playoffs! So, Happy holidays and go someplace warm in January. You won't be playing football.
P.S. spread your sickness to the Red Wings and Tigers, please.
Unfortunately, the fall of the Lions brings up a frightening scenario. The ghost of Christmas present has appeared again—and they are the Green Bay Packers! You've seen this before, say, 2010. I say Aaron Rodgers comes back for the final game of the season against the Bears, and the Packers somehow win the game and the NFC North title. And somehow win the Super Bowl. We'll be home watching! Yay!
Look, Bears, two more wins! You (we?) can do this! Lance Briggs is back! Cutler is already back! It's like the old days!
Here's what I know: Offense is clicking, running game coming along, defense starting to become watchable. Take us home!
Strangely, there's another Chicago tem keeping me warm. The White Sox? Hey, Rick Hahn, enough! Again, the guy has silently retooled like 80 percent of the starting lineup, gotten younger and gotten faster, all in the last six months.
All this while the Cubs … next to nothing. Note to Theo: YOU DON'T NEED CITY COUNCIL APPROVAL TO MAKE IMPROVEMENTS!
Happy Holidays.

Common Law Marriage Explained
One of the most common misunderstandings about Texas family law involves informal or "common law" marriages. Many people believe that after you live together for a certain period of time you automatically become married, even if neither party wants to be. This is not true in Texas, nor in any other state that I am aware of.
How Can You Get Married Without a Wedding?
It is possible to become married without the usual requirements of obtaining a marriage license, waiting at least 72 hours and then having a wedding ceremony. Continue reading

Dragon Wrap Ring
Tiny Metallic Dragon
- Adjustable ring can be worn on different fingers.
- Set with four, jet black Swarovski crystals.
- Bring him to meetings with you to keep you company. And breathe tiny fire on stupid people. (Note: tiny fire not included.)
This little dude is so cute. We couldn't resist his draconic charms. He reminds us of that unit on chameleons in middle school science class. Where you'd hold one, and he'd curl up around your finger lookin' at you like, "You gonna write your observations in that lab book or what?" This little guy does not change color, but he does curl his tail around your finger and look adoringly at you, which we think is enough to expect of him. It's hard being a tiny dragon.
Dragon Wrap Ring is an English pewter ring that (yes) wraps around your finger. As such, it adjusts to a certain extent to fit your exact needs, hence the size ranges. We recommend you warm the metal in your hands before adjusting it. Unless you can convince the little guy to give you a light. Also note that he has not grown wings yet. Presumably he gets around under slither-power alone. And, of course, on your hand.
For our customers with nickel allergies: the dragon is made of English pewter, which is a mixture of tin, antimony, and copper. The metal is free of both lead and nickel.
Dragon Wrap Ring
- English pewter ring with a four, jet black Swarovski crystals set along the spine of the tail.
- Comes in three sizes (see below).

He was 69. Considered the most recognizable ambassador of the BC Lions Football Club, Ackles was an integral member of the Lions for 40 years, with his most recent role being president and CEO of the Canadian Football League franchise. He died Sunday morning after suffering a heart attack. Having started out as the Lions' original water boy in their first-ever season back in 1953, Ackles rose through the ranks to become the club's director of football development in 1966. He was then promoted to assistant general manager in 1971 before becoming the Lions' general manager four years later. In 1985, Ackles helped the club to their first Grey Cup championship in 21 seasons. In 1986, Ackles moved south to join the Dallas Cowboys of the National Football League (NFL), thus temporarily ending his relationship with the Lions after 34 years. In his six years with Cowboys, Ackles held the roles of vice president of pro personnel and vice president of player personnel. Though he left Dallas in 1991, the team he helped assemble went on to win Super Bowl titles in 1993, 1994, and 1996. He joined the Phoenix Cardinals in 1992 as director of college scouting before receiving a promotion to assistant general manager in 1994. His next NFL stop was the Philadelphia Eagles in 1995, where he was named director of football administration. A year later, Ackles was reunited with former Cowboys head coach Jimmy Johnson at the Miami Dolphins, where he served as director of football operations for five years. In 2000, Bob was named vice president and general manager of the Las Vegas Outlaws. The appointment put him in the history books as the only man to hold senior executive positions in the CFL, NFL and XFL. With the XFL only lasting a single season in 2001, Ackles found himself out of football for the first time in decades. The opportunity allowed him to further his education, as he enrolled in the Fine Arts program at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV). In 2002, Ackles' return to the Lions was capped off with his induction into the Canadian Football Hall of Fame as a Builder. In an effort to return the club to its proper place in the community and the CFL, he recruited one of the league's most successful coaches of all time in Wally Buono, and named him head coach and general manager in 2003. In 2004, Ackles was inducted into the BC Sports Hall of Fame. Accolades for Ackles' work continued in 2005 when he was honoured with the Jack Diamond Award by the Jewish Community Centre as Sportsman of the Year. He was also a Schenley Award of Excellence winner. In 2006, the Lions captured their fifth Grey Cup championship - the first since his return to Vancouver. In September 2007, Ackles' highly-anticipated memoir 'The Water Boy' was published. The candid and personal account of his life - including his more than 50 years in professional football - received rave reviews across North America. In addition to his work with the Lions, Ackles also served on the board of directors for the Vancouver YMCA, the Canadian Tourism Commission, and for the Burnaby Mountain Sport & Medical Centre. Whitecaps president Bob Lenarduzzi expressed his shock at the sudden passing of the highly regarded sports executive. "Given the fact that he has been an integral part of the sporting community in this province since the Lions started up, it's a real shock to hear of his passing," Lenarduzzi told whitecapsfc.com on Sunday. "He's been pretty much a constant since the beginning of the Lions, and he had virtually every job possible with them on his way up to the top of the organization. It's a massive loss, and not just for what he has done for the Lions and football in general. He gave back to the community and the Lions are an extension of him in that regard. That kind of embodied the way that he was." Lenarduzzi admired Ackles' efforts in making the Lions a top CFL club. "Anytime I did meet him, Bob struck me as someone who understood what it took to be a success in the profession that he was in," he said. "He pretty much re-established the franchise prior to going to the NFL, and since coming back to the Lions, he took them from being on their deathbed to being a very solid franchise. His passing is a tragedy and his loss will be a significant one. Our thoughts go out to his family at what has to be a very difficult time for them." Ackles once summed up his life and career in professional football in the following words. "I look back on my life and my career and feel like the luckiest man in the world," he once said. "Few people get to spend their days doing something they love with those they love." Ackles is survived by his wife Kay, sons Steve (Sherri) and Scott (Teresa), and grandchildren Robert, Ashley Kyle, Kasey and Robyn. Previous Next

Boscawen man accused of waving gun at driverBy Ted Siefer
New Hampshire Union Leader
May 27. 2013 1:01PM
HOOKSETT - A Boscawen man has been charged with felony criminal threatening and driving while intoxicated, after he allegedly waved a gun at another driver while traveling north on Interstate 93 on Sunday.
State police arrested Stephen Jackson, 28, in Boscawen, after they were able to locate his vehicle based on a description from the other driver.
The driver called police after observing Jackson allegedly driving erratically and brandishing a handgun. The caller said Jackson waved the gun in a threatening manner and then pointed the gun at him.
State police, aided by the Boscawen Police Department, interviewed Jackson, and during the investigation, troopers recovered a loaded 9mm pistol from Jackson's car.
Jackson was arrested and transported to the state police barracks in Concord. He has been charged with felony criminal threatening and driving while intoxicated, subsequent offense.
Jackson will be arraigned June 15 in Hooksett District Court.

Posted on 01/11/2013 6:21:20 AM PST by mykroar
Stepping aboard a school bus will soon be the same as taking a seat in class for some students in the North Kansas City schools.
In January, the district will begin wiring four school buses that are used for longer trips with Wi-Fi access. Its believed to be the first such effort locally.
The innovative move is just one more example of how local districts are adapting to keep up with technology and use it for the benefit of students.
We are living in a digital age, said Eric Sipes, information technology executive director for the district. We are at that point where we have to embrace it.
The idea to wire the buses with industrial grade wireless 3-G Internet systems was initially proposed several years ago by Lon Waterman, assistant director of transportation.
Waterman wanted to recoup instructional time lost to travel.

The lottery proceeds must be working. /sarc
I mis-read that as North Korea.
Bus full of kids on one 3g card? oh ya.. that'll work. Who is the brainiac who thought that one up?
3 kids streaming netflix can bring a 3g card to it's knees.
Anything to keep the little darlings sedated.
They have several routes that are an hour long, looking for a way to recoup dead time. District is also looking to implement BYOD like many districts.
Upscale district, to be sure.
I guess the kid's smart phone won't cut it for 20 minutes.
It will keep them quiet and focused on tweeting.
Still no seat belts ?
Follow the money
Is this area so thinly populated kids need to be on the busy for an hour?
How bout sending the kids to a closer school or.. gasp.. give them a book to read.
The answer to every question with the word 'school' in it is home school.
No, no, no. Read the article. They're going to all be doing homework. /rolleyes
It depends how it is used. Although it will probably be wasted by most kids, the smart ones will use that time to work on their homework.
Stepping aboard a school bus will soon be the same as taking a seat in A GAME ROOM.
"Anything to keep the little darlings sedated."
correct they "could" lock out facebook and the like but.... what do you think the chances are that they will? Next to nil I am sure. hmmm a reasonable price? what is a reasonable price to the taxpayer who has to provide food, clothes and shelter to their family and is already going to see increasing taxes and inflation.
doesn't seem reasonable to ask the taxpayer to pay up so that little Johnny can tweet and like things on Facebook instead of taking out a good novel.
What a well-conceived idea.

"World of Warcraft" fans may not have to fantasize about what a big screen version of Orgrimmar will look like for much longer. Duncan Jones ("Moon," "Source Code") has been tapped to direct the live action version of the massively successful MMORPG.
The long-gestating "Warcraft" film has seen its fair share of ups and downs, mainly with a Sam Raimi version that was in development for what seemed like an eternity before losing steam. After Raimi backed out of the film in late 2010 in favor of directing the soon to be released "Oz: The Great And Powerful," Jones, an admitted Blizzard game fan, expressed interest in helming the bound-to-be-massive epic. It looks like he will get his chance.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the film is slated to begin production in late 2013 for a 2015 release. The long wait for the film probably isn't a surprise to many avid Blizzard fans, as the company has a history of delaying computer projects. It somehow seems fitting to have a bumpy road while waiting for the film version.
I've had many sleepless nights playing "World of Warcraft" since it was first released, and I can't wait to see what Jones does to bring it to the screen. Jones' gamer background gives me comfort in knowing that he will be as faithful to the games as possible.
So whether you are Horde or Alliance, PvP or PvE, in a Guild or a lone Orc Rogue, I think this film will have the ability to please all classes. I'm looking forward to seeing what Tier 6 gear looks like on real people while they slay some angry boars.
Which element of the "Warcraft" universe do you hope to see on the big screen? Let us know in the comments below and on Twitter!

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A think tank with ties to the Obama administration laid out a deficit-reduction proposal on Tuesday, urging the president to go bold and seek more concessions from Republicans on tax hikes.
The plan emerges as the White House and Republicans remain at loggerheads over averting some $600 billion in tax hikes and federal spending cuts set to start taking effect early in 2013 known as the "fiscal cliff."
The $4.1 trillion deficit-cutting plan from the Center for American Progress seeks $1.8 trillion in new revenue, compared with Obama's call to raise $1.6 trillion.
It also calls for a 28 percent tax on capital gains income for high earners, whereas Obama has called for about a 24 percent tax rate, including new taxes from the healthcare overhaul.
Further, the proposal calls for taxing income from the wealthiest Americans at 39.6 percent, the default rate if the parties deadlock on a budget deal.
The think tank was founded by Democratic strategist John Podesta, a former chief of staff to President Bill Clinton. Its current president is Neera Tanden, Obama's top domestic policy adviser during his first campaign and a healthcare adviser during his first term.
Other Democratic luminaries who signed onto the Center for American Progress paper include former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers, who was an economic adviser to Obama during his first term, and Bill Daley, who served as Obama's chief of staff. Roger Altman, a Clinton-era deputy treasury secretary and co-founder of investment firm Evercore Partners, also signed on.
It is unclear what sort of impact the proposal will have on the tense negotiations. It is certain to fall flat with Republicans, who have called Obama's first offer an insult.
Republicans on Monday put their first bid on paper, calling for $800 billion in new revenue through a revamp of the tax code - but sticking to their pledge not to touch tax rates.
The Center for American Progress plan calls for replacing current standard exemptions and deductions with a "standard credit," and turning popular tax deductions into tax credits that would be limited.

Hello, I have a newbie question here. How do I convert the char and String data type to an integer in Java so that I can perform arithmetic operation?
like this?
char crap = 'a';
int othercrap = (int)crap;
othercrap would have the ascii code value of 'a' then.
The above sentences are produced by the propaganda and indoctrination of people manipulating my mind since 1987, hence, I cannot be held responsible for this post\'s content - me
If you want to decode them in decimal, use the Integer.parseInt() method (IIRC)
something like
String mystr = "42";
int theAnswer = Integer.parseInt(mystr);
String mystr = "42";
int theAnswer = Integer.parseInt(mystr);
I strongly recommend keeping a link on hand to the api documentation on http://java.sun.com . A quick run through there before coming here would probably save you time.

Integer.parseInt will do the job nice
Thanks, Integer.parseInt works.
Will Integer.parseInt convert the String datatype to int? :P
j/k, I just thought it was funny that it was mentioned 3 times. the java API owns j00.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The United States and Japan have agreed to make it easier to import each other's organic products.
The Agriculture Department is planning to announce Thursday that organic products certified in Japan or in the United States may be sold as organic in either country. The agreement will allow producers to sell in both countries without going through the lengthy process of getting certified twice.
Japan imports a wide variety of organics from the United States, including soybeans, specialty crops like cauliflower and nuts, and processed products like frozen meals. The main Japanese imports to the United States are organic green tea, sake and mushrooms.
In agreeing to the deal, Japan dropped its objections to two substances allowed in U.S. organic foods that are not allowed in Japanese organic foods.
While most of the two countries' organic standards are the same, Japan has not allowed its organics to be produced with ligonum sulfonate, a substance used in post-harvest fruit production, or alkali-extracted humic acid, a fertilizer used to help grow a variety of organic crops. The United States allows those substances.
Annual organic sales to Japan from the United States now total around $80 million, and USDA estimates the new agreement could more than triple that amount to $250 million a year over the next 10 years.
"This partnership reflects the strength of the USDA organic standards, allowing American organic farmers, ranchers, and businesses to access Asia's largest organic market," said Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack.
