"A good journalist always asks the Who's, What's, Where's, et cetera. It was the checklist recipe that formed the basic broth of any decent story. To this concoction Candace liked to sprinkle in her own spice: the What the Fuck's. It was a natural question, given her beat: covering the comings and goings of the New Gangs, those happy syndicates, made up of and targeting the key 15-19 and 75-85 year-olds demographics, that did dealings almost entirely in Shanghainese Patois and trading in spirits, souls, body parts, auto parts, transistors, televisions, Teletubbies, and, of course, dreams. Candace's two year stint chasing leads and squirreling facts was about eighteen months longer than the careers of most reporters who found themselves in this part of town, and about twelve months short of when she figured she would find her own dreams excavated from behind her blonde and blue locks and on sale on the back of some New Gangs van."

I flew both freakin legs on a super 80 which is like a vista crusier of the sky. Old shitty and cramped. It was really bad. It was like flying in a car with out AC too. I came home to a rather grubby house, so I have my work cut out for me these three days that I have off. I don't know what I'm doing for new years, most likely drinking some apple cider with the bird and crashing at 9, because is seattle thats when the ball drops and that is pretty much new year for me. I have tons to unpack and a fridge full of crap to throw out. I plan on eating at Micky-d's tomorrow just to get that craving for grey meat out of my system. I have two seasons of pete and pete to watch plus invader zim, it will be good. Ok take care everyone. I'll be posting some pictures now that I have a camera and such.

When at work, do you drop your g's, or broaden your a's? Should it matter?
Whether it's so-called pidgin English, a foreign inflection, or a distinctive, regional way of speaking, heavy accents get noticed at work.
Historically, speech has been a marker of social status, however inaccurate. And in today's highly competitive and increasingly multicultural workplace, accents are receiving added attention as a "soft" business skill - and in some cases as a target for employment discrimination.
A study conducted earlier this year by two researchers showed that a strong regional accent can hurt you at work.
Two University of North Texas officials - Patricia Cukor-Avila, an assistant professor of English, and Dianne Markley, director of Cooperative Education - sent identical recorded passages of text, each spoken in a different regional accent by 10 different white men, to 56 human-resource executives in large companies and institutions. It turned out to be a a very telling experiment.
Among other things, interviewers were asked to identify the accent, speculate on the personal characteristics of the applicant, and then place him in a hypothetical job.
The result: Job-seekers with marked accents, such as Southern drawls, were frequently stuck in lower-level jobs with little customer contact, while those with less identifiable accents like those of "actors and national broadcasters," says Ms. Cukor-Avila, tended to land higher-contact, higher-profile gigs.
A heavy New Jersey accent was the most disliked in the study, followed by a Georgia accent, while a rubbed-down California and Midwestern accent scored highest. Notably, the two accents most disfavored belonged to the two most highly educated candidates.
"It is a form of discrimination, but it's one that's always been there," says John Challenger of Challenger, Gray & Christmas, a Chicago-based human-resources firm. "It's no different than when George Bernard Shaw wrote about it in 'My Fair Lady.' If you had a Cockney accent, it meant you were lower class. While things are less class-oriented these days, strong accents, whether they're regional or foreign, often cause discomfort between employee and employer."
In Britain, observers say, the old high-brow standard long perpetuated by the BBC radio service has lately given way in business to a more neutral "estuary English," first noticed in southeast England on either side of the River Thames.
In the United States, speech therapists aiming to help soothe accent discomfort are moving to sand down regional speech in the workplace. These "pronunciation consultants" say that while many people seek their services to lose drawls and twangs, clients tend to be highly skilled foreign workers, many of them on H1-B visas, who simply can't be understood by customers and co-workers.
"In a tight job market, people are having no problems getting jobs, whether or not they have a foreign or regional accent, but that will change," says Nancy Hayer, a pronunciation consultant with Wisconsin-based Hayer-Vuyk Consulting. When it does, expect accent-reduction programs to expand.
Notable companies and institutions are already in the game. The University of Connecticut, for instance, offers an accent-reduction service geared primarily to nonnative speakers of English.
"Heavy accents can hinder a person's ability to communicate with people in their personal and professional lives," reads a university press release that says the hospital's 13-week program "typically yields a 50 percent reduction in ... accent."
And while Texas Instruments, for example, has included accent reduction as part of a cultural orientation program for some foreign employees, most companies send their employees to pros like Diana Canant, a Silicon Valley-based accent therapist and founder of Staff Enhancement Business Services.
Ms. Canant charges about $80 an hour for her services and says her clients, typically from Asia and India, are usually employed at software consulting firms.
One client, Kiran Chaudhary, a business-systems analyst from India who now works for a California-based company, says she sought to reduce her accent after a job interviewer several years ago belittled her.
"In general I felt nervous whenever I had to communicate at work," she says. "Now I have much more confidence."
Though accent reduction is growing in popularity, some experts say swapping a regional accent or, say, "Black English," for a "neutral" American accent (the so-called standard American English) is both linguistically improbable and ethically suspect.
"For a company to tell someone they have to change their accent is like saying that a part of you, where you come from, isn't good enough," says linguist and author Rossina Lippi-Green. "It's like saying, 'Gee, if only you were a couple of shades lighter.' Besides that, accent, like skin color, is an immutable part of background and personhood that most people can't change."
Even the Texas researchers say their study is not a call for employees to erase accents. The burden of change, they argue, is on the listener. "Our study should make employers aware of the fact that they are discriminating," says Ms. Markley. "When I'm at work, I can be judged by what I say and how well, but my pronunciation pattern itself should not be considered."
But Daniel Dato, a retired linguistics professor in Rockville, Md., who has trained more than 2,000 speech therapists to apply their skills in the workplace, says such outlooks are "narrow." Dato says accents can offend prospective clients and employees can choose to switch their accents on and off when appropriate. It's akin to the use of "high" German, rather than a local dialect, among some Germans and Austrians in business settings.
"We call it 'code switching' when a person uses business English during the day and then reverts to their normal accent around friends and family," he says. Dato says he has coached employees of IBM, GE, the World Bank, and the US Department of Immigration, among others.
In the vast majority of cases, however, experts say companies turn to accent reduction when an employee can't be understood, not because their accents are markers for stereotypes.

Okay, you know that I'm the kind of badass that makes Chuck Norris look like a japanese school girl skipping home after a tiring day at school drawing pikachu over and over again. But then there are things in this world that can make even me screw up my face in terror. Last week I came face to face with such a terror.
It was vicious. It was menacing. It was a finely tuned killing machine intent on my destruction. I came out of the encounter just barely alive enough to sing "I've got soul but I'm not a soldierrrrhhh" while stumbling away. Last week I met the spawn of the devil. The kind of thing that spends its free time outside primary schools, luring little kids in with toys and candy, then teaching them to listen to Justin Beiber. It was a terrible beast.
It was a mop.
Well a mop handle. And it had this plastic ring-thing on top that made it extra sharp.
See, this is what happened:
I race into the bathroom to shave. I'm in a hurry. I drop the shaving cream. I knock over the mop leaning against the wall trying to pick up the shaving cream.
I pick up the mop, throw it against the wall.
Slow motion.
I bend down to pick up the shaving cream again.
*cue dramatic violin music*
As I'm on my merry way down, I see the mop rebounding off the wall, and heading back towards me, out of the corner of my eye.
Have you ever tried stopping in the middle of an almost automated action like that? It's impossible. Like getting a woman to be logical. It should be called the Logic chromosome, not the Y chromosome.
But back to our story.
To my slow-motion dismay I notice that my face is traveling on the perfect vector to intercept the mop handle.
*dramatic violin music reaches crescendo*
And it does. The mop handle, pivoting on its base, has rotated just so that its pointy top is right under my face, and my vertically traveling face impales itself on the handle. Right below the left eye. Ouch.
*cue clatter of pots, pans, galaxies and entire universes banging against each other*
Thankfully it just gave me a bruise under my eye for a day, which affected me only in that people on the bus kept staring at my face. Even hobos turned to look at me. I had forgotten to shave that day too, meaning I probably looked like a homeless rapist or something.
And now it's just slight evidence of a cut under my eye. Most of it has gone the way of the dodo, or most twitter users' sanity.

A woman in Germany delivered a 13-pound bundle of joy sans cesarean section on Friday, easily breaking the record for the largest baby ever born in that country.
Jasleen, who measures in at 13.47 pounds and 22.6 inches long, is currently in the neonatal intensive care unit of the University Hospital in Leipzing, Germany being treated for an undiagnosed case of gestational diabetes.
Jasleen stole the record-setting title from a baby boy named Jihad who was born in Berlin – also the natural way – and weighed an even 13 pounds.
Surprisingly enough, Jasleen isn't even the biggest baby to be born this year.

text: Supporting regional collaboration on tropical disease research Joint media release Minister for Foreign Affairs, the Hon Julie Bishop MP Minister for International Development and the Pacific, Senator the Hon Concetta Fierravanti-Wells 7 October 2016 Today we announce further support towards fighting multi-drug resistant malaria and tuberculosis (TB). The Australian Government will provide $2 million over two years to Darwin's Menzies School of Health Research to advance research into the prevention, detection and treatment of multi-drug resistant malaria and TB. The Menzies School will work with the Burnet Institute as well as partners in Indonesia, Malaysia and Papua New Guinea. Drug resistant TB and malaria pose a threat to health security in our region and carry a high burden for our Indo-Pacific neighbours. More than half of all global TB cases occur in our region, and it kills more people in Papua New Guinea than any other infectious disease. The Australian Government is committed to advancing research and science in Australia and bolstering our health security. We are also working to build strong and resilient health systems across the Indo-Pacific to help combat these devastating diseases and build a healthier, safer and more secure region. This initiative was developed through the Coalition Government's White Paper on Developing Northern Australia. Media enquiriesMinister's office: (02) 6277 7500DFAT Media Liaison: (02) 6261 1555

The Magic Melter
The patent pending Magic Melter is a portable, human-powered device that can be used to keep liquids warm or to melt snow into drinking water in an emergency. It is a cup with a sealed heating element, powered by a hand-crank generator. It could be used by everyday consumers to keep beverages warm. People who live in extreme climates, as well as extreme sports enthusiasts, could use the Magic Melter for personal safety.
Magic Melter Elevator Pitch
The Magic Melter, patent pending, was designed as a compact survival tool that melts snow into drinking water in the case of an emergency. It is a reusable double walled cup with a heating element wound helically in the sealed chamber between the two cup walls. This life saving device is human powered, and uses a hand-crank generator for power. The turning of the hand crank gets the consumer moving as it melts snow into drinking water, keeping the user warmer. This not only prevents dehydration, but also hypothermia, which can result from eating the snow directly. By powering the device manually, a car does not need to be running, eliminating the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. Our device could be used not only for emergencies, but also for individuals interested in sports where one might be exposed to blizzards or situations of extreme cold. While the Magic Melter can melt snow, it can also keep other beverages warm, and can therefore be used in a more everyday setting.

Flash forward years after, as well as the standoffish child who had been hysterical over a puzzle piece that is lost is now a strip mall tax advisor helping local farmers optimize their tax write-offs. He is more talented than his lowly place indicates, nonetheless, along with a popular new technology startup headed by philanthropic roboticist Lamar Black hires him to go through the publications in order to find out whether a disparity seen by a chitchatty junior accountant is a bellwether to get a bigger cash bleed. Fiscal ledgers or jigsaw puzzles, they are all the same to Chris - but when the firm cuts on his fine toothed investigation short once they have seen enough, before it is all figured out, he will not drop the case.
Meanwhile, the Treasury Department is about the trail of a mysterious figure nicknamed "the Accountant" - a remarkable fiscal forensicist hired by criminal organizations to ferret out sales leaks without bringing the law. The Accountant is slick, proficient at combat, and preternaturally gifted with amounts, and he covers his courses impeccably - until rookie Treasury analyst Marybeth Medina, working with Treasury manager Ray King, pecks the first little chance in his complex selection of disposable identities when she understands the aliases "Carl Gauss," "Louis Carroll," and "Christian Wolff" share something in common.
It is hip to stack on Ben Affleck, an action which has been movie criticism's favourite all-season sport for over two decades, but with The Accountant he reminds us again that he's a gift that is true. Affleck can also be encompassed by such great performers as Jean Smart, and Lithgow, Simmons, in a sequel of the refreshing tendency of casting the net wide for worthy yet nearly forgotten old ability of 2016. The key hiccup with The Accountant is the fact that exposition and flashbacks moves forward much of its own storyline. There is no joy in seeing a fascinating character like "The Accountant" be stymied by comparative dummies.
What's otherwise a fascinating mixture of action thriller and character study ends up using exactly the same issue as Breach, the dramatization of the Robert Hanssen FBI scandal, when the clever and fascinating baddie played by constantly a treat Chris Cooper was more intriguing compared to the bore of a protagonist delegated to tail him. The film's quirks while the outcome is flawed, getting there's filling enough that you will need to find out whether rookie screenwriter Bill Dubuque does the next time outside, and are tantalizing. See your job Dubuque, to finish.

FOXBORO – Wes Welker was jogging back to the line after running a route during the New England Patriots' first training camp session Thursday when owner Bob Kraft arrived on the sideline and pointed in his direction.
FOXBORO – Wes Welker was jogging back to the line after running a route during the New England Patriots' first training camp session Thursday when owner Bob Kraft arrived on the sideline and pointed in his direction.
Wasting no time, the Pro Bowl receiver immediately approached Kraft, the two sharing a quick embrace and a handshake before parting ways.
At least on the surface, everything appears to be just fine between Welker and the Patriots despite the two failing to agree on a long-term contract this offseason.
"Everyone tried. I tried, they tried, and it just didn't work out," said Welker, who signed a $9.5 million franchise tender on May 15. "It's in the past and we're moved onto this season, which we expect to be a good one."
Welker is now resigned to playing out his one-year deal after both sides couldn't come to terms on a longer contract before July 15, the deadline to sign franchised players to a multiyear pact.
Coming off one of the greatest seasons of his career, when he had a league-high 122 receptions for 1,569 yards and a career-best nine touchdowns in helping the Patriots reach the Super Bowl, Welker knows it's a new year, and proving yourself, he said, comes with the territory.
"There's no year where you don't need to prove it. It's like any other year," Welker said. "The contract and everything else is out of my mind. It's really just going out there and focusing on playing good ball."
Welker, who tweeted after signing his tender that "hopefully doing the right thing gets the right results. #leapoffaith," said Thursday that it wasn't difficult not to take it personally. While he clearly feels he's deserving of a long-term deal, he also understands the business side of it.
"You always kind of think it's going to happen and then, I don't know. I think you just get excited," he said. "But at the same time, you're very fortunate the position you're in and I look forward to really playing out this year and playing some of the best ball I can play."
The Patriots seem intent on doing just that, too, joining a slew of former faces with familiar ones in hopes of bouncing back from a 21-17 loss to the New York Giants in the Super Bowl.
Offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels, who guided New England's record-setting offense in 2007, is back calling the plays for quarterback Tom Brady and the offense after serving as head coach of the Denver Broncos and offensive coordinator of the St. Louis Rams.
Receivers Jabar Gaffney and Donte' Stallworth, both members of that 2007 squad, also have returned, and receiver Brandon Lloyd, who played for McDaniels in both Denver and St. Louis, adds a much-needed deep threat to an already high-scoring offense.
"We have a lot of good players on our team and everybody really working together and understanding that we all work off each other," Welker said. "The more guys we have out there doing the right thing, the better off we're going to be as an offense. It's exciting to see and we still have a lot of work ahead of us and we look forward to it."
Admitting that "this is home for me and it's great to be back," McDaniels' relationship with Brady appears to have picked up right where it left off.
"Every year you reestablish all those connections ... you really work hard to recreate those relationships," he said. "Each one of our relationships probably grows and matures a little bit each year and I think that's where Tom and I are, but we'll always try to get better and communicate better as we go forward through camp."
McDaniels wouldn't comment on Welker's contract situation, saying only that he doesn't believe it will play a role in his season.
"Wes has got a great attitude and has worked extremely hard in the offseason, had a really good day today," McDaniels said. "I'm going to coach him hard just like I always have."
Some fans may have forgotten the consistent contributions from the dependable receiver during his five seasons in New England, instead choosing to remember the ball he didn't catch, a crucial second-and-11 pass from Brady with 4:06 remaining in the Super Bowl that likely would have sealed a victory for New England.
He wasn't asked Thursday about dropping that pivotal pass, though he insinuated there's a lot left for him to do.
"I look forward and think that I have so much more that I can prove and conquer out there," Welker said. "I plan on working hard and doing what it takes to go out there and do it."
And what if he has another stellar season this year and then lingers through a similar contractual dispute next summer?
Not a concern.
"That's a great situation," Welker said, "so not too worried about that."

President of RINA, the Italian classification society that certified the Costa Concordia for seaworthiness and safety, Gianni Scerni resigned Tuesday amid controversy over comments he allegedly made to the Italian media. Mr. Scerni disputes the accuracy of the comments but he has decided to resign in order to distance RINA from any association with the alleged remarks.
The comments in question were made in an article posted to Il Secolo XIX, an Italian paper, titled "Scerni: Ma l'armatore non poteva non sapere", or "But the owner could not know", translated.
In the article Scerni attacks the owners of the Costa Concordia, who have publicly placed blame solely on Captain Francesco Schettino, for failing to know about the practice of "bow'ing", or "showboating", that we have seen in video and AIS plotting from previous voyages of the cruise ship.
Scerni tells the paper (translated from Italian to English): "It is madness such a thing could happen with calm seas and the starry skies. Going so close to the coast is a sailor bravado, but it can not be done by those who lead a ship of that size."
Scerni is then quoted as saying that the "prank" by Capt. Schettino was an error "that I could do myself sailing a boat."
Again, Scerni disputes the accuracy of the comments and RINA has publicly stated that it "acknowledges the important contribution which Mr Scerni has made to the company during the past ten years." Regardless, his resignation is likely to be the first of many from high-level people connected to the incident.

Part 1
Part 2
A very interesting article by Jessica Diemer-Eaton about traditional Native American foods that are known throughout the world.
Some excerpts:
"Jumping right into our world food tour, let's start with the cuisine of northern Europe. You may be surprised to know that the Irish potato is actually South American in origin. All potatoes came from the New World, all varieties having roots to the Americas, and most cultivated potatoes came from the fields of Native farmers."
"However, peppers may have had a larger impact in Indian and eastern Asian cuisine. Indian curry owes its red spice to New World peppers. Cayenne and hot peppers served as the base of curry, replacing Old World black peppers previously used in curry. Chilies were adopted into local Szechuan and Hunanese sauces, while the Chinese in general mixed chilies with oil that created a condiment that would preserve for use at any time of the year."
"No Fourth of July barbecue would be complete without roasted corn on the cob, nor would a New England clambake be considered fitting without cob corn steamed with the clams and lobsters. What's more is both cooking methods – barbecue and clambake – are Native American cooking techniques (the term barbecue is accredited to Caribbean Natives)."

As the world's most notorious possessed pussycat, I FEEL LIKE ONE COOL CAT getting to work with horror icons. For episode 9, I got to add Michael Berryman to that list of guest stars who I've worked with on set that include Lee Meriwether; Nina Hartley; Barbara Nedeljakova, and Ashley C. Williams. You may know Michael Berryman from the cult classic horror film The Hills Have Eyes but I know him as the mysterious dude that popped up on my doorstep while I was trying to have a romantic dinner. Still – the host of guests that come into my life because Nick decided to do a web-series about me is pretty funny. But have no doubt…Michael Berryman's face is going to look scarier than ever if I ever get my claws on him.
If you have no clue what I'm talking about check out Episode 9 "Blood Bath" from the world's greatest comedy horror web-series Hell's Kitty!

We are a 97 acre farm in the Pyrenees Ranges of Central Victoria.
We grow food that is sustainable and regenerative.
Our Chooks
Nestled on the foothills of Mount Cole in the Pyrenees region of Victoria, live the happiest chickens to roam the land. Guarded by friendly alpacas and a maremma dog, they are free to explore as far as their little hearts desire. Their mobile houses keep them warm and safe at night and takes them to fresh pasture. Moving across the land, the chickens are an important part of our regenerative system improving the soil, helping to plant forests and sequestering carbon for a better future.
We believe that food is the best medicine and that is why we give our hens the best natural food to ensure that each egg is nutrient dense just like nature intended.
Happy chooks. Happy soil. Happy people.

Our garden
We grow veggies, herbs and flowers with care and love. We don't use chemicals in our garden. We'd rather grow everything naturally, alternating perennials and annuals as well as using companion planting. Diversity is the key.
We try to grow as many varieties of herbs as we can to offer you a diverse range of herbal teas and culinary herbs to use in your favourite recipes. We're planting various kind of flowers and medicinal plants all around the veggie patch for us as well as for the bees and other pollinators.
We encourage our plants to seed as we want to save seeds and propagate them on the pasture or the veggie patch.

The School of Jewish Music at Hebrew College brings together a richly diverse group of students, engaging them in rigorous and fulfilling programs leading to cantorial ordination and Jewish music certificates.
Jewish Engagement and Identity
As a pluralistic school, we do not have prescriptions for how you should live as a Jew. Rather, we support each other in a search for a meaningful and authentic engagement with Jewish tradition. For prospective COSEL students, cantorial school should not be the beginning of your Jewish learning but a continuation. The time before cantorial school is an opportunity to deepen your Jewish knowledge and practice. We expect our students to be in an ever-deepening relationship with Jewish life, and to have spent some time involved in the Jewish community:
Applicants to the COSEL program must be Jewish by birth as recognized by at least one major rabbinic body, or by a conversion process that is recognized by at least one major rabbinic body. Hebrew College admits qualified students without regard to age, sex, disability, race, color or national origin. We do not admit or ordain cantorial students with non-Jewish partners. We warmly welcome applicants whose partners have undertaken a process of conversion and are committed to supporting them through that process.
who are married to or in committed relationships with non-Jews will not
be considered for acceptance to this program. - See more at:
Applicants must have a bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university and a competitive GPA. We do not require applicants to have taken the GRE.
Candidates for cantorial ordination must have previous music training. All applicants will be required to take a musicianship test which will assess proficiency in reading music, sight-singing and music theory.
At Hebrew College, we seek the wisdom that emerges when we deeply engage sacred Jewish sources in the original text. Your authentic interaction with the text demands significant study of the Hebrew language to enable you to reveal the layers of wisdom within. Generally, applicants must have completed at least two years of college-level Hebrew to start the COSEL program. This does not apply for admission to certificate programs.

(Showtime, Sun., Sept. 29, 8 p.m. ET)
This is the latest in a series of films designed to pique young people's interest in the classics they are based on. Attention, kids: If the original Prisoner of Zenda had been this bad, it would never have become a classic. William Shatner plays an evil executive who kidnaps his nephew and replaces him with a perfect lookalike, who agrees to go along with the gag only because Shatner promises his dad a job. Jonathan Jackson (General Hospital) is by no means terrible in the dual role of Rudy Gatewick and Oliver Gillis, but Shatner, as is generally the case when he takes roles set in this millennium, is.

Thank you for visiting our past auction result archives. If you have an item identical (or similar) to this auction lot, please call, write or contact us to discuss. We will be able to help you.
Lot # 396 (of 1743) < Previous Lot | Next Lot >
1910 T209 Contentnea Cigarettes Photo Series Near-Complete Set (210/224)
Starting Bid - $10,000, Sold For - $44,063
Near-complete set of 210 different (209 of the 223 in set as checklisted in The Standard Catalog plus one not checklisted) 1910 T209 Contentnea "Photo Series" Tobacco cards. One card (Steinbach) included is not listed in the 2011 Standard Catalog checklist but is known by advanced collectors. Missing just fourteen cards for completion of all subjects listed in The Standard Catalog (Armstrong/Wilson, Bowen, Crockett, Doak/Wilmington, Dobard, Fulton, Guiheen, Hyames, Irving, Munsen, Schrader, Swindell, Wolf, and Wright). 11% grade Vg-Ex (includes a couple Ex), 42% range from Gd to Vg, and 47% are in slightly lesser grade. Images of all are featured online. To the best of our knowledge, this is an unprecedented offering, at least in modern times! We have never before seen a set or near-set of T209 "Photo Series" presented for sale or auction, and large collections or near-sets of this rare issue are virtually unheard of. (In fact, to the best of our knowledge, no one has ever completed the T209 Contentnea "Photo Series" Tobacco set. With 210 of the 224 cards, of course, this collection is very close.) The 210 cards presented here represent more T209 "Photo Series" tobacco cards in total than we have handled in the past forty years, our entire history in the hobby. This is an incredible offering! This set (minus fourteen cards) was assembled over a period of over thirty years, and interestingly (and perhaps not surprisingly) were collected in precisely the area in which these rare tobacco cards were issued (Virginia).
The T209 "Photo Series" set is comprised of 224 different players from the Virginia League, Carolina Association, and Eastern League. T209 Contentnea "Photo Series" are one of the rarest and (in large part because of their rarity) most overlooked of all tobacco-card issues. Although there are no Hall of Famers in this set, there are numerous extreme rarities, almost all of which are included here. (Additional note regarding the number of cards in the set: It appears that some cards currently checklisted have not been confirmed and may not exist; this collection may therefore actually be closer to completion than even suggested by the current Standard Catalog checklist.) This lot consists of the following: Abercrombie, Andrada, Armstrong (Norfolk), Averitt, Baker, Banner, Bausewein, Beatty, Bentley, Beusse, Biel, Bigbie (Raleigh), Bigbie (Richmond), Blackstone, Bonner, Bourquin, Boyle, Brandon, Brazell, Brent, Brown, Busch, Bussey, Byrd, Cefalu, Callahan, Chandler, Clapp, Clarke, Clemens, Clunk, Cooper, Corbett, Cote, Coutts, Cowen, Cowell, Cregan, Cross, Dailey, C. Derrick, F. Derrick, Doak (Greensboro), Dobson, Doyle, Drumm, Duvie, Ebinger, Elridge, Evans, Fairbanks, Farmer, Ferrell, Fisher, Flowers, Fogarty, Foltz, Foreman, Forque, Francis, Galvin, Gardin, Garman, Gastmeyer, Gaston, Gates, Gehring, Gillespie, Gorham, Griffin (Danville), Griffin (Lynchburg), Gunderson, Hale, Halland, Hamilton, Hammersley, Handiboe, Hannifan, Hargrave, Harrington, Harris, Hart, Hartley, Hawkins, Hearn, Hicks, Hobbs, Hoffman, Hooker, Howard, Howedell, Hudson, Humphrey, Irvine, Jackson (Greensboro), Jackson (Spartanburg), Jenkins (Greenville), Jenkins (Roanoke), Jobson, Johnson, Keating, Kelley, Kelly (Anderson), Kelly (Goldsboro), "King" Kelly, King, Kite, Kunkie, Landgraff, Lane, Lathrop, Lavoia, Levy, Lloyd, Loval, Lucia, Luyster, MacConachie, Malcolm, Martin, Mayberry, A. McCarthy, J. McCarthy, McCormick, McFarland, McFarlin, C. McGeehan, D. McGeehan, McHugh, McKevitt, Merchant, Midkiff, Miller, Missitt, Morgan, Morrisey, Mullaney, Mullinix, Mundell, Murdoch, Newton, Noojin, Novak, Ochs, Painter, Peloguin, Phelan, Phoenix, Powell, Pressley & Pritchard, Priest, Prim, Pritchard, Rawe, Redfearn, Reggy, Richardson, Rickard, Rickert, Ridgway, Roth, Salve, Schmidt, Schumaker, Sexton, Shaughnessy, Sharp, Shaw, Simmons, A.

T209 Contentnea "Photo Series" Tobacco cards are among a small selection of elite sets that have long captured the imagination of many of the most legendary collectors, from the earliest days of serious collecting, perhaps more so in years past than even in recent times. The reason many great early collectors prized these cards so highly is twofold: 1) These cards could not (and cannot) simply be purchased in set form. They are rare! They have to be collected. They are a challenge. 2) Ultimately, cards are about the players that are featured. Many of the players in T209 "Photo Series" are featured in few or no other sets. These characteristics make the real-photo T209 Contentnea set especially significant to the game of baseball and to the world of baseball cards, and especially appealing to the most sophisticated collectors. T209 cards also have a very distinctive design with striking player poses unique to this set. This set (minus fourteen cards) has been locked away in the collection of one of the hobby's great pioneer collectors (who passed away in 2009) for decades. It has always been one of the most prized of the extraordinary and rare sets in his collection and is being offered by his family. Total: 210 cards. Reserve $10,000. Estimate (open). SOLD FOR $44,063

Howdy everyone! Merry Christmas this upcoming week! I am super stoked to see you! Speaking of how I was chatting with Dad so Facetime at 2:30 my time so whatever that is for you. I am super excited to see you!
So I go to go on exchanges with Sister Major on Monday night! It was definitely a weird time to do exchanges especially because Sister Cluff (her companion) found out she was getting ETed (emergency transfered) the next day so it was just a weird exchange. But I sure love being companions with Sister Major! It's just so easy! She really is a kindred spirit! We had a lot of fun and I learned a lot from her she is amazing!
So we've met some crazy people this week and had some random experiences so I will tell a couple stories. Also we have some really cool stories from this week!
We met this guy one night and asked if we could share a short Christmas video and he said yes and something like "OH. I KNOW Jesus' so we showed him He is the Gift. Afterwords he said "You know that his birth hasn't actually happened? It's just a prophecy." Then he goes off talking about all sorts of things in random thought chains like Zeus and who knows what else. Luckily we escaped that in only a couple minutes. When we left he said "I'll see you later" in a way that made we thankful we weren't returning home immediately. But... I think he's just crazy.
On Saturday night we were out knocking doors and this older gentleman answers and tells us that him and his wife are in the middle of prayer hour and says we can join. We didn't and as we were walking away we were like... "wait. Did you want to join? Me too! Let's go!" So we joined them for their last bit of their hour long rosarie prayer. Then he starts trying to explain something (still unclear what) to us and starts reading from the Virgin Guadeloupe book. We ended up talking some and we were able to share the He is the Gift video and the Family Proclamation. It was an awesome experience!
Then we were tracting this one night and this lady flipped out! She was so mad at us for knocking on her door when she had a 'no soliciting' sign. We moved on and then she came back in and asked for a number to call from our organization to report us. We went back and talked with her telling her we only have our number to giver her. We are from such and such church. Not selling anything. We are just trying to spread a Christmas message. Well as we were talking she said she had had a little to drink so that is why she has been so upset. And she has been through some bad stuff lately. It was a good lesson to me on not judging and on loving everyone.
So last week at church we started greeting people right before the meeting started and there was a lady I didn't know and Sister LeDoux didn't know her either. After talking a bit before and after Sacrament meeting it turns out she isn't a member! She walked into some church in Hazeldell the other week and the Bishop sent her over to her ward to talk to Bishop Butterfield. So she walked right into church looking for him. Well we set up an appointment with her. Her name is Carolyn. She is AMAZING! We got to see her on my birthday (best day ever!). She had definitely searched religions in her time. She has already raised 4 kids and now adopted 2 little kids from a bad family situation in her extended family. Now she works crazy hours trying to support them. We are really excited to work with her! She is amazing!
We were out knocking doors (which happened a lot more this week) and we ran into this lady who said she didn't have time so we asked if we could come backFriday and she said yes but didn't seem to set on having us come back. Well we went back and not only was she actually home but she invited us right in and had been expecting us! Well she was doing some major reorganizing and her house was a whirlwind so we told her we would share a message and then help her clean for an hour. So we shared He is the Gift and then...(drum roll) build a book shelf! We're pretty pro now! Her name is Mary and she is awesome! I feel super at home being around her! Hmm... seems like she is a kindred spirit! And she somehow knew we needed a ride and gave us a ride to our next appointment. She really is great!
So I should say I had a great birthday! Sister LeDoux did some secret texting and the Fallons came and picked us up and fed us second lunch:) and a big cake. And she had Sister Fallon buy me some milk because mine got taken from the church on Monday... and then I left it there and didn't get it till today! Super sad day! Ah well. And get this! I even got lasagna for my birthday dinner without asking!
We are stoked for Christmas this week! Well actually... I am. Sister LeDoux is really dragging. She just wants to get the holidays over with and ignore them because she really will be missing her big family and lots of traditions. But I'm trying to think of lots of ideas and stuff to keep us busy with a super great holiday! We've decided to have a couple sisters in the ward help us make a bunch of ornaments on Christmas Eve that we can take to the people we are teaching. We've got a couple people in the ward who are going to go caroling with us Christmas Eve evening. On Christmas the zone is doing stuff from 10-2 is what I last heard. Then in the evening we are going to go carol at the old folks home in the area. And we want to try Lauranns singing Christmas cards as well. So hopefully we will have plenty to do to keep us busy and make this a memorable Christmas!
This week when I was studying I was reading in Preach My Gospel about my purpose as a missionary and a couple versus really stood out to me. "And thus we see the great call of diligence of men to labor in the vineyards of the Lord..." (Alma 28:14) This scripture is proceeded by a couple versus that talk about how there is a great inequality among men because of sin. And so and thus we see we need people to declare the gospel! The next verse is talking about how Christ is the stem and we are the branch. "Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he PURGETH it, that it may bring forth more fruit." (John 15:2) I loved the word purgeth. How true is that! I feel like on my mission I have tried to bring people to Christ and yet I definitely feel like he has been purging me because things sure have been hard. I really love that.
I was also reading in Alma 29 and the word 'allotted' stuck out to me. He is talking about how he wishes he were an angel and could declare repentance to all people and then says that he is sinning in his wish "for I ought to be content with the things which the Lord hath allotted unto me." Within these few short verses is profound truth. I am guilty of the same thing. I have often wished my lot was different and that I could have been able to learn a language or something else. But that is not what the Lord has 'allotted' to me. The Lord has given me all that I have and this is the lot that he has decided best for me. I have to be diligent with the allotment he has given me. It doesn't matter if it is big or small. I found a really good conference talk that literally talks just about this line. "Content with the things allotted unto us" Elder Neal A Maxwell in April 2000 General Conference. In it he talks about how many situations in life are different. Some people pass through trials, some have trials they have to live with. Some are poor, some have health challenges. Each of us has our allotment. He tells us that by judgement all will be worked out. He said the only social cast that stays is ones caused by sin. Each of us must learn to find contentment working within that allotted to us. I definitely invite you all to check out this talk. It is amazing. https://www.lds.org/
general-conference/2000/04/ content-with-the-things- allotted-unto-us?lang=eng
Anyway things are really wonderful. I am grateful to be on a mission this holiday season. I've learned a lot from my studies this past week and a lot from observation. I won't lie and say that we are having an amazing time teaching people right now because we have like 2 lessons set up this whole week. But I am learning a lot. I am so grateful for this season to celebrate our Savior. I love you all so much! I hope that you have really safe and good travels tonight! Enjoy every moment in Honduras. I am excited to hear about it. I love you all! Merry Christmas!
Sister Kaitlyn Beard
Here's a cool poem I found.
"The woman was old and ragged and gray
And bent with the chill of the Winter's day.
The street was wet with a recent snow,
And the woman's feet were aged and slow.
She stood at the crossing and waited long,
Alone, uncared for, amid the throng
Of human beings who passed her by
Nor heeded the glance of her anxious eye.
"Down the street, with laughter and shout,
Glad in the freedom of 'school let out,'
Came the boys like a flock of sheep,
Hailing the snow piled white and deep. …
[One] paused beside her and whispered low,
'I'll help you cross, if you wish to go? …
'She's somebody's mother, boys, you know,
For all she's aged and poor and slow.
"'And I hope some fellow will lend a hand
To help my mother, you understand,
If ever she's poor and old and gray,
When her own dear boy is far away.'
And 'somebody's mother' bowed low her head
In her home that night, and the prayer she said
Was, 'God be kind to the noble boy,
Who is somebody's son, and pride and joy.'"
