The interesting stories and events behind them are significant and well-known, yet they aren't the most popular historic sites visited by Mormons.
Gary Boatright Jr. and Emily Utt, historic site curators for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, recently compiled a list of 10 significant spots they recommend every church member make an effort to see and experience at least once in their lifetime.
"When I go to a church history site, I go to the visitor's center and take the tour, but these are the places I make a point to see because they have an impact," Utt said. "Something else I would say for all these places is we rush too much. As you visit historic sites, stop, sit, look and wander."
Relish the sense of just being there, Boatright said.
"When you read or hear about something your whole life, then you are actually able to go and stand at the location where it happened, there is something special, almost sacred, about it and you get a better understanding of the event," Boatright said. "It can be a special experience for families."
The Witness Trees
Everyone is familiar with the 38-and-a-half-foot granite monument in that marks the Vermont birthplace of the prophet Joseph Smith, but what many miss are the witness trees. One, the "Joseph Tree," is a massive oak that dates back to 1776. The other, the "Patriarch Tree," is not quite as old but was also there when Joseph was born. Seeing and touching these age-old trees will help you connect to the place, Boatright said.
"To have these two living parts of the landscape that date back to time the Smiths were there on the Mack farm, for me, is intriguing," Boatright said.
LDS missionaries at the birthplace visitor's center can provide directions for hikes to the trees. One hike up Patriarch Hill offers a beautiful panorama of the Vermont landscape.
The Sacred Grove
The serene woods, just west of the Smith family farm in Palmyra, N.Y., are known as the Sacred Grove. This is where 14-year-old Joseph Smith knelt to pray and beheld the First Vision of God the Father and his Son, Jesus Christ, in the spring of 1820. The Sacred Grove is one of the few tracts of pristine forestland in upstate New York that has remained undisturbed.
While the Sacred Grove is very popular place to visit, people don't spend enough time there, Boatright said. With a network of trails, visitors should forget their Disneyland itineraries and plan to spend a day at the Smith farm, the curator said.
"This is where one of the most significant moments in the history of the earth occurred, and the Spirit is so strong there. The reason why we are all members of the church is because of what occurred in that grove," he said. "Take time to enjoy it, soak it in."
Early morning walks through the grove are strongly encouraged.
Susquehanna River
The Susquehanna River is located in the Oakland Township (formerly the town of Harmony), Penn. This is where Joseph Smith met and married Emma Hale in the late 1820s. He began translating the gold plates in their small home near the river. While translating, Joseph and Oliver Cowdery prayed near the river to learn more about baptism. Their prayer was answered when John the Baptist appeared on May 15, 1829, and conferred the Aaronic Priesthood on the two men. Joseph and Oliver then entered the river and baptized each other. Soon thereafter, Peter, James and John appeared on the banks of the river and conferred on the men the Melchizedek Priesthood.
The LDS Church is in the process of restoring buildings and monuments near the present-day town of Susquehanna, but Boatright and Utt recommend walking the river.
"I don't think a lot of people go down there now because it's a challenge. It's a chore to get there, but if you are going to be there, you can't miss the river. It's a beautiful spot," he said.
"We don't know the exact spot, but we know Joseph walked along that river. Being in that landscape helps you connect with Joseph in a way," Utt said.
John Johnson farm
The home of John and Alice Johnson is located in Hiram, Ohio.
Joseph and Emma Smith lived in the home in 1832 when Joseph and Sidney Rigdon received the revelation that became Doctrine and Covenants 76. Joseph also worked on the Joseph Smith Translation of the Bible in this home. It is also where a mob of apostates and anti-Mormons severely beat and tarred and feathered Joseph and Sidney.
"Everyone goes to Kirtland, but most don't feel it's worth the 40-minute drive to go to the Johnson home. Personally, it's my favorite church historic site," Utt said. "My favorite spot in the home is the section 76 room. I also like standing on the porch because the morning after the tar and feathering, Joseph gave a sermon from that porch. You overlook the yard, out into the fields, and I can really imagine those events taking place."
The landscape is still very much what it would have looked like in 1832. The home has been restored to its original beauty.
Three spots in Missouri
Most people go to Missouri to visit sites in Independence. But it you head north for one of the following, you might as well visit all three.
"All these are literally in the middle of nowhere. I think there are a couple of markers. But once again, it's worth it," Boatright said.
The first Missouri stop is the Far West temple site. In the late 1830s, Far West was once home to more than 3,000 Saints. A temple site was dedicated and the corner stones were laid. The saints were eventually driven out in the winter of 1838-39 and relocated in Illinois.
Adam-ondi-Ahman, a quiet, picturesque valley located near Gallatin in northwestern Missouri, is the second spot. A historic marker indicates the valley where about 1,000 Saints settled in 1838 before being expelled. The valley is also significant because three years before Adam died, he called his righteous posterity into that valley and blessed them (Doctrine and Covenants 107: 53-56). Before Christ's second coming, Adam and his righteous posterity, which includes Saints of all dispensations, will again assemble in this valley to meet the Savior. An ideal time to visit is late spring/early summer, the curators agreed.
"There is that feeling that something happened here," Boatright said. "And that something will happen here."
From Gallatin, drive 45 minutes southeast to Haun's Mill, the sobering site of a massacre on Oct. 30, 1838. On that day a mob of about 250 men attacked a small settlement of Mormon families, killing 18 and injuring 13. The grounds are owned and maintained by the Community of Christ.
"You really have to want to get there to get there, especially if it has been raining," Boatright said. "But this was a bustling community where a horrific and tragic event occurred. To contrast the peaceful setting you find today with the event that gave it its place in church history is just surreal."
Two spots in Nauvoo, Ill.
First, the Smith Family Cemetery is located on the south end of Main Street in historic Nauvoo, near the Red Brick Store, the homestead and mansion house, on the banks of the Mississippi River. This cemetery serves as the final resting place for Joseph Smith, Emma Hale Smith, Hyrum Smith, Joseph Sr., and Lucy Mack Smith, as well as many other Smith family members and friends.
"Here lies the prophet of the restoration and last dispensation. If you are going to Nauvoo, pay your respects to the prophet and his family," Boatright suggested.
The Hiram and Sarah Granger Kimball Home is one of many historically restored homes visitors can tour. During the construction of the original Nauvoo Temple in the early 1840s, Sarah Granger Kimball contributed by sewing shirts for the workers. She played a role in the establishment of a women's charitable organization that eventually became the Relief Society. The white home, one of the oldest in the city, is secluded from other homes, and as a result, few take the tour.
"What is so interesting about this home is as you finish your tour, your are talking about building the temple, then you walk back outside and you see the temple from her house," Utt said.
Winter Quarter's cemetery
The cemetery is located next to the Winter Quarters Temple and across the street from the Mormon Trail Center in Omaha, Neb.
Mormon pioneers built a temporary settlement at Winter Quarters with more than 800 cabins during the winter of 1846–1847 while they waited for better conditions for their trek westward. While witnessing a glimpse of the "Mormon Migration," visit the one remaining headstone and approximately 300 unmarked pioneer graves in the cemetery.
"It's a nice way to conclude your time there and take a moment to reflect on their experiences as they were preparing to come to Utah," Utt said.
Devil's Gate, Wyo.
Most people go to Martin's Cove to experience the story of the Martin handcart company rescue. But what many miss is the trail near the visitor's center that turns east (away from Martin's Cove) and follows a short hike a narrow gorge in the mountain with cliffs that stretch 400 feet above the rushing Sweetwater River. Devil's Gate was a major landmark on the trail west.
"Anyone who came, whether they were going to Utah, Oregon or California, walked past Devil's Gate," Utt said. "You can go there, dip your feet in the water and have a moment with the trail."
Cardston Alberta Temple
The Cardston Alberta Temple, built from 1913 to 1923, was the first temple built in Canada, as well as the first built outside the United States. Mormon settlers founded Cardston, located just 15 miles north of the US-Canada border, in 1887. The Cardston area tells part of the story of pioneer Mormonism after Utah.
"We have the famous pioneer temples of Utah, but the Cardston temple is one of the first modern temples the church has built. The architecture and craftsmanship are very unique," Boatright said. "It stands out … as one of the gems architecturally that the church has."
The pulpit of the St. George Tabernacle
There are several historic sites in St. George, but for Utt, one spot that stands out is the pulpit of the St. George Tabernacle. Tours of the pioneer building conclude at the pulpit, where multiple prophets have spoken, from Brigham Young to David O. McKay, including Lorenzo Snow's famous 1899 tithing revelation.
"The tabernacle is right in the center of town, so that building has been a landmark in that city since construction started in the 1860s," Utt said.

beta-oxynaphthoic acid lake, calcium salt
Ruby Red is a common name used for the calcium salt of beta-oxynaphthoic acid (BONA) lake pigment PR:48. It is substantially bluer than other shades of PR:48. BONA pigment lakes have high tinting strength.
Beta-oxynaphthoic acid (BONA) lake pigments are more lightfast than their beta-naphthol counterparts. Although their lightfastness makes them the pigment of choice in many applications, they may shift slightly in color or lose intensity under some conditions.
Ruby Red is a lake pigment of beta-oxynaphtholic acid, a dye that resembles the common beta-Naphthol pigments. Beta-oxynaphthoic acid may have been synthesized as early as 1887. Commerical use of BONA lake pigments began in the 20th century. Ruby Red is used in printing and plastics.

Korean language, language spoken by more than 75 million people, of whom 48 million live in South Korea and 24 million in North Korea. There are more than 2 million speakers in China, approximately 1 million in the United States, and about 500,000 in Japan. Korean is the official language of both South Korea (Republic of Korea) and North Korea (Democratic People's Republic of Korea). The two Koreas differ in minor matters of spelling, alphabetization, and vocabulary choice (including the names of the letters), but both essentially endorse the unified standards proposed by the Korean Language Society in 1933.
Linguistic history and writing systems
General considerations
While much is known about Middle Korean, the language spoken in the 15th century (when the script was invented), information about the language before that time is limited. Several hundred words of early Middle Korean were written with phonograms in the vocabularies compiled by the Chinese as far back as 1103. A still earlier form of the language, sometimes called Old Korean, has been inferred from place-names and from the 25 poems (called hyangga) that were composed as early as the 10th century and reflect the language of the Silla kingdom. Written with Chinese characters used in various ways to stand for Korean meanings and sounds, the poems are difficult to decipher, and there is no consensus on the interpretation of the content.
Nor is there general agreement on the relationship of Korean to other languages. The most likely relationships proposed are to Japanese and to the languages of the Altaic group: Turkic, Mongolian, and especially Tungus (-Manchu-Jurchen).
Writing and transcriptions
When Korean words are cited in English and other languages they are transcribed in a variety of ways, as can be seen from the spellings seen for a popular Korean surname: I, Yi, Lee, Li, Ree, Ri, Rhee, Rie, Ni, and so on. For English speakers the most popular transcription is that of the McCune-Reischauer system, which writes words more or less as they sound to the American ear. Despite its clumsiness, McCune-Reischauer is the system used in this description, and following that system the common surname is written Yi; it sounds like the English name of the letter e. In citing sentences, many linguists prefer the Yale romanization, which more accurately reflects the Korean orthography and avoids the need for diacritics to mark vowel distinctions. For a comparison of the two systems, see the Table.
The writing system dates from 1443, and for many years it was known as Ŏnmun 'vernacular script,' though in South Korea it is now called Hangul (han'gŭl; or Hankul in the Yale romanization) and in North Korea Chosŏn kŭl(tcha), Chosŏn mun(tcha), or just Chosŏn mal 'Korean.' Very simple symbols are provided for each of the phonemes. Words can be spelled by putting these symbols one after another, as most writing systems do, but Koreans have preferred to group the symbols into square blocks like Chinese characters. The first element in the block is the initial consonant; if the syllable begins with a vowel, a small circle serves as a zero initial. What follows, either to the left or below (or both) is the vowel nucleus, which may be simple or complex (originally a diphthong or triphthong). An optional final element at the bottom (called patch'im) writes a final consonant or a cluster of two consonants. The 15th-century script had a few additional consonant letters that became obsolete in the following centuries and an additional vowel distinction that survived in the spellings until 1933; that vowel is usually transcribed as ă. On Cheju Island, where the distinction is maintained, the phoneme is pronounced [ɔ], very close to the modern Seoul version of the vowel transcribed ŏ, which in many parts of the country is still pronounced [ə]. That accounts for the first vowel of the usual spelling Seoul (= Sŏul), based on a French system of romanization, and for the use of the letter e to write ŏ in the Yale system.
The earlier language had a distinctive musical accent. In the far south and the northeast, the accent is still maintained as distinctions of pitch, vowel length, or a combination of the two. In the 15th century, low-pitched syllables were left unmarked but a dot was placed to the left of the high-pitched syllables and a double dot (like a colon) was put beside syllables that rose from low to high. The rising accent was maintained as vowel length in central Korea after the other distinctions eroded, but it, too, is vanishing in modern Seoul, even in initial syllables, where it has persisted longest. Like French, Seoul Korean no longer uses accent to distinguish words. The few apparent exceptions are due to intonation: nu-ga wassŏ (spoken with a rising pitch) 'Did someone come?', nu-ga wassŏ (spoken with a falling pitch) 'Who came?'.
Koreans began putting spaces between words in 1896. As in English, judgment varies on what constitutes a word rather than a phrase. Earlier, Koreans wrote syllables as distinct blocks but failed to separate words. That was the Chinese tradition, which is still alive in Japan, where the mixture of kanji (Chinese characters) and kana (syllabic symbols based on kanji) helps the eye detect phrase breaks. The Chinese comma and period (a hollow dot) are commonly used, and modern punctuation marks have been taken from English.
Korean borrowed many words from Classical Chinese, including most technical terms and about 10 percent of the basic nouns, such as san 'mountain' and kang 'river.' The borrowed words are sometimes written in Chinese characters, though that practice is increasingly avoided except when the characters are used as aids in explaining technical terms.
Korean spelling is complicated. Words are usually written morphophonemically rather than phonemically, so that a given element is seen in a constant form, even though its pronunciation may vary when it is joined with other elements. For example, the word for 'price' is always spelled kaps though it is pronounced /kap/ in isolation and /kam/ in kaps-man 'just the price.' From the 15th century on there has been a steady trend toward ignoring predictable alternants.
Digraphs and separators
All transcriptions of Korean include digraphs of one kind or another and use separators to distinguish a string of two letters in their separate values from their single value as a digraph. When no other mark (such as a hyphen or space) is in order, the McCune-Reischauer system uses the apostrophe to distinguish such pairs as hangŏ (= hang-ŏ) 'resistance' and han'gŏ (= han-gŏ, usually pronounced as if hang-gŏ) 'a cloistered life.'
Linguistic characteristics
The vowel nucleus consists of a simple vowel, which may be preceded by y or w. The McCune-Reischauer romanization puts a breve (˘) over the letters u and o to distinguish the originally unrounded vowels [ɨ] and [ə] (= Seoul [ɔ]) from their rounded counterparts [u] and [o]. (Unrounded vowels are said with a tight smile; rounded vowels with pursed lips.) The Yale romanization uses the letter u for the unrounded [ɨ] and writes [u] as wu but encourages the omission of the w after p, ph (= p'), pp, m, and y, where the rounding has become nondistinctive in modern Korean. The front vowels transcribed as e = [e], and ae = [ε] or [æ] were originally diphthongs, as shown by the complex Hangul symbols reflected in the ey and ay of the Yale romanization. The vowel ae is no longer kept distinct from e in southern Korea and the distinction is virtually lost in modern Seoul, though it is maintained in the spellings. Another old diphthong, originally [oy], is transcribed oe (Yale oy) and sometimes pronounced as a front rounded vowel [ö], though it commonly sounds the same as the less common diphthong we, which is often simplified to just e; the surname Ch'oe may be said as if spelled Ch'we or Ch'e. The old diphthong [uy] became modern wi [wi] and is so pronounced by most speakers, but some people use a front rounded vowel [ü]. The old diphthong ŭi [ɨy], into which ăe [əy] merged, was largely replaced by [ɨ] (initially) or [i], but it is maintained in spelling certain words of Chinese origin such as ŭiŭi [ɨ:i] 'meaning' and in writing the particle -ŭi [e] 'of' (but not the homonymous particle -e 'to' or 'in'). The older version as a diphthong has regained popularity in modern Seoul in words such as ŭija 'chair' (said as three syllables), probably as a result of "reading" pronunciations.
When they are initial, the simple stops p, t, and k are pronounced much as in English (pie, tie, kite), with light aspiration. When final, they are cut off with no release, as in one way of saying English "Up! Out! Back!". The affricate ch occurs in the word chip 'house,' which is pronounced with a sound intermediate between English chip and cheap; some speakers, especially before the back vowels, pronounce the affricate as a nonpalatalized [ts], and that is thought to have been its 15th-century pronunciation. Between voiced sounds (which include the vowels and y, w, m, n, ng, l, and r), the stops acquire voicing, and that feature is noted in the McCune-Reischauer romanization (but not in the Hangul spelling or the Yale romanization): ip 'mouth' but ib-e 'in the mouth,' mat 'firstborn' but mad-adŭl 'eldest son,' ak 'evil' but ag-in 'evil person.' Final -p sometimes represents a basic p' (ap 'front' but ap'-e 'in front') or ps [pss] (kap 'price' but kaps-ŭl 'the price [as object]'). A final t sometimes represents a basic t' (mit 'bottom' but mit'-e 'at the bottom'), j (nat 'daytime' but naj-e 'in the daytime'), or ch' (kkot 'flower' but kkoch'-ida 'it's a flower'); more often, however, a final t represents a basic s (ot 'garment' but os-ŭl 'the garment [as object]'). Some speakers regularize the basic forms of nouns (but not verb stems) so that for them the nonfinal t always represents basic s; they say pas-ey for the standard pat'-ey 'in the field.' The single liquid phoneme has two predictable pronunciations: a clear (and sometimes palatalized) lateral [l] when it is at the end of a syllable or doubled [-l:l-], otherwise (and also before h) the flap [r]. The McCune-Reischauer transcription writes l or r in accordance with the pronunciation, which is ignored by the Hangul spelling and the Yale romanization: il 'one' but ir-wŏn 'one Wŏn,' nal 'day' and nal-lo 'by the day' but nar-e 'on the day.' There are problems involving initial r and n that are reflected in newspaper references to "President Roh (pronounced No)." The Korean language borrowed some Chinese words beginning with a liquid ([l] in Chinese), and Koreans tried to pronounce them with an r, but they were generally successful only when the element was not initial in a word; when the liquid was initial they used an n instead. The second syllable of toro 'street' is the same element as the first syllable of nosang 'on the street' (which is spelled with an n- in South Korea but with an r- in North Korea). There is an added complication: in the south ny- and ni- (whether from original n- or from r-) dropped the nasal, and that is when the common surname borrowed from Chinese Lĭ became Yi. The name is still pronounced [ni] in parts of North Korea, though the reading pronunciation [ri] has spread in P'yŏngyang since 1945. In modern times, loanwords from English, Japanese, and Russian have brought in an initial [r], and that is usually pronounced as a flap.
The spoken syllables are fairly simple in structure. Each ends either in a vowel or in one of the voiced consonants p, t, k, m, n, ng, or l. When two syllables are put together, various changes may take place where they join. When a syllable that ends in a stop is followed by one that begins with a nasal, the stop assimilates: chip 'house' + -man 'only' sounds just like chim 'burden' + -man [čimman], and kung-min can mean either 'the people of the nation' (when the first syllable is kuk- 'nation') or 'the poor people' (when the first syllable is kung- 'poor'). Hangul spelling distinguishes such pairs by writing the basic forms. Before a velar (k, k', kk), the dental n is usually pronounced like the velar ng so that kan'go 'hardship' sounds like kanggo 'stable,' but that assimilation is ignored in both the spelling and the transcriptions. Both -n + l- and -l + n- are pronounced like -l + l-, so for the sound [-l:l-] one must know what is in the word to decide which of the three Hangul spellings to use.
Aspirated and reinforced consonants
English makes a two-way distinction of voiceless and voiced stops (pip, bib; tat, dad; kick, gig). In Korean, voicing is automatic, so that [p] and [b] form a single phoneme and are written with the same Hangul letter. Korean distinguishes two other kinds of obstruents (stops, or fricatives): heavily aspirated p', t', k', and ch' and reinforced (tense) pp, tt, kk, and tch. The standard language also has a tense sibilant ss in contrast with the lax (and somewhat aspirated) s, but many speakers maintain this distinction only at the beginning of a word or ignore it entirely, despite the spelling. Both kinds of s are palatalized before i or y, and the lax s sounds like English sh, so that the Silla kingdom is sometimes referred to as the Shilla kingdom. (The Yale transcription for this name, Sinla, shows the Hangul spelling.) The reinforced consonants, now written as geminates (duplicate letters), probably became distinctive through the reduction of clusters, such as Middle Korean st, pst, and pt, and in many words the heavily aspirated consonants seem to go back to earlier clusters with h or k. The clusters, in turn, were reduced from disyllabic strings by syncope (omitting the vowel). The simple aspirate h is often murmured or dropped between voiced sounds: si(h)ŏm 'test,' annyŏng (h)ase-yo 'How are you?' That accounts for the [r] in words like sir(h)ŏm 'experiment.' Before i the velar nasal is often reduced to no more than nasality: annyŏng (h)i kase-yo 'Good-bye to you who are leaving' is usually pronounced [annyɔĩgas].
When p, t, k, ch, or s is preceded by a stop, it is automatically pronounced as reinforced (tense), but that sound feature is ignored both in the Hangul spellings and in the transcriptions: ip-to 'the mouth too' = /iptto/, ot-kwa 'with the garment' = /o(t)kkwa/, kuk-poda 'than the soup' = /kukppoda/, hakcha 'scholar' = /haktcha/, iksal 'joke' = /ikssal/. After the adnominal ending -(ŭ)l there is reinforcement unless a pause is inserted: pol kot 'the place to look' sounds just like pol kkot 'the flower to look at,' but they are spelled and transcribed differently. Other cases of reinforcement are less predictable and are variously treated or neglected in spellings and transcriptions. In some cases the reinforcement goes back to the Middle Korean particle s 'of.'
When a Korean syllable that begins with a vowel is added to a syllable that ends in a consonant, that coda moves over to fill the empty onset slot of the second syllable: chip 'house' + -e 'to' is romanized chib-e but pronounced /či-be/, pap 'rice/meal' + -ŭl (direct object) is spelled pab-ŭl but said as /pa-bŭl/, and tong-an 'interval' is heard as /to-ŋan/.
Korean sentences are very similar to those of Japanese, though the words sound quite different. Modifiers always precede what they modify. The unmarked order is subject + indirect object + direct object + predicate. Only the predicate is essential, and other information may be omitted. Actions are expressed by processive predicates (= verbs), such as mŏgŏ '[someone] eats [it]' and anja '[someone] sits,' characteristics by descriptive predicates (= adjectives), such as tŏwŏ '[it] is warm' and cho(h)a '[it] is good' (or 'I like it'). A special kind of descriptive, the closely attached copula (linking verb), predicates nouns, as in ton–i(y)a 'it's money' and ch'a–'ya 'it's tea.' The descriptive predicates can only make statements or questions, but the processive predicates can also make commands and suggestions, so that (depending on intonation) anja can mean 'I sit,' 'Will you sit?', 'Sit!', or 'Let's sit!'; tŏwŏ means only 'It's warm' or 'Is it warm?'. The predicate is an inflected form consisting of a stem + an ending: mŏgŏ consists of the stem mŏk- 'eat' and the infinitive ending -ŏ, which takes the shape -a when the preceding vowel is a or o, as in anja from anch- 'sit' and cho(h)a from choh- 'be good/liked,' and also (when the infinitive is sentence-final) in the copula i(y)a from the stem i-. A final particle -yo is often added to the infinitive to show friendly politeness, as in mŏgŏ-yo and cho(h)a-yo; the copula takes the shape ie-yo or '(y)e-yo, as in ton–ie-yo and ch'a–'e-yo. Nouns attach particles to show their roles in the sentence. The subject is marked by -i after a consonant or -ga after a vowel (but in the 15th century -y was used), and the direct object is marked by -ŭl after a consonant or -lŭl after a vowel. These case markers are often omitted or are masked by particles of focus such as -do and -to 'also, even,' used to highlight a word, and -ŭn (after a consonant) or -nŭn (after a vowel), used to background a topic. The indirect object is usually marked by (h)ant'e or (less casually) ege, as in ŏmŏni-ga ttar-(h)ant'e ton-ŭl chue 'The mother gives the daughter money.'
The negative copula expression converts [noun] + i- into [noun]-i/-ga + ani–(i)-, as in ton-i ani–'ya 'It isn't money' and ch'a-ga ani–'ya 'It isn't tea.' In short sentences verbs and adjectives can be negated by preposing the adverb an(i), as in an mŏgŏ 'I won't eat it,' but a more versatile device permits negation of even long sentences by converting the verb to an inflected form that ends in -ji or -chi (pronounced ch'i), followed by the auxiliary anh- 'not do/be,' a contraction from ani ha- (the negative adverb + the dummy verb ha- 'do/be'): mŏkchi an(h)a 'I don't eat it,' chuji an(h)a 'I don't give it,' choch'i an(h)a 'It's no good.' Predicates can be conjoined with endings meaning 'and' (-go/-ko, -ŏ/-a–sŏ) or 'but' (-na/-ŭna, -ji/-chi–man) and subordinated with endings that mean 'when/if' (such as -myŏn/-ŭmyŏn) or 'even if' (-ŏ/a–do).
The Korean language also has endings that adnominalize a predicate (make it modify a following noun), operating in the same manner as an English relative clause: uri-(h)ant'e ton-ŭl chun saram 'the people who gave us the money,' saram-i uri-(h)ant'e chun ton 'the money the people gave us,' saram-i ton-ŭl chun uri 'we to whom people gave money,' saram-i uri-(h)ant'e ton-ŭl chun chib-i man(h)a 'There are many houses where people gave us money.' Often the predicate marks the subject as someone special ("you" or "the teacher") by inserting the honorific marker -(ŭ)si-, reduced to -(ŭ)sy- before a vowel as in chusyŏ-yo. There are also ways to mark the predicate for tense and aspect.
The examples given here are all in an informal style, but there are several other styles. The formal style marks a statement with -(sŭ)mnida, a question with -(sŭ)mnikka, a command with -(sŭp)sio, and a suggestion with -(sŭ)psida. The forms in the plain/impersonal style are -da (or processive -(nŭ)nda) for statements, -na or -ni or -(nŭ)n-ya/-ka for questions, -(ŭ)ra or infinitive + -ra for commands, and -ja/-cha for suggestions. Instead of -ŏ(-yo) Koreans sometimes use -ji(-yo) to assert the speaker's involvement.Samuel E. Martin

Surgery is over and I'm pleased to report that it went as well as any surgery I've ever had, starting with the nurse hitting the vein on the first try when starting my IV. (That's never, ever happened.)
The surgery was more complicated that anticipated. The Hoffa pad was grossly enlarged behind the knee cap. The doctor said he problems just getting into the knee because the Hoffa pad was so "huge" (his words). But beyond that, there were two tears in the meniscus that didn't show up on the MRI that needed to be repaired. I think this is good news because there was something definitive going on that the surgeon could address and hopefully this will make a major difference in how my knee feels.
I felt pretty good the afternoon after surgery and until about noon the day after surgery. Then the anesthetic that had been injected in the knee wore off. It was absolutely horrible pain. I took all the hydrocodone I could take and then when that didn't work, I broke into the oxycontin. That finally calmed down the pain until I could get some sleep. Today, things are better, but I did wake up "hung over" from all the drugs.
Today I had my followup with the surgeon and he and I are both pleased with the results. I'm still very sore today, but it's when I put weight on the knee, not all the time, so I think I'm getting better.
So all of that is good news.
The bad news happened Monday afternoon before the surgery on Tuesday — right when I'm freaking out trying to get everything done so I can take a few days off for surgery.
I get a phone call from my PCP's office. My visit to him the previous week was not only my pre-op, but also my annual check up. They were calling with some disturbing test results. It appears that my thyroid tests came back very low. Rather than take it at face value, my physician wanted me to redo the test.
The most common cause of hypothyroidism in the US is Hashimoto's disease. In Hashimoto's disease, also known as chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis, your immune system attacks your thyroid gland. (Does this sound familiar?) Some of the symptoms include fatigue (check), high cholesterol count (check), as well as muscle aches, tenderness and stiffness, especially in your shoulders and hips, and pain and stiffness in your joints and swelling in your knees or the small joints in your hands and feet (check, check, and check).
I'm not saying that I have this. What I really don't need is yet another diagnosis. But on the bright side, if I do have it, then there are proven treatments that can help it. Maybe all the "stuff" that's wrong with me is not just RA. Maybe I have another condition that can be successfully treated and improve my overall health.
So the labs are in the same building as my surgeon and my PCP's offices, so after I got done with my follow-up with my surgeon, I stopped by the lab and had them draw another round of blood to check my thyroid levels. [Sigh.] The good news on this is that I'll know in pretty short order what the results are.
And tomorrow is my root canal.
Wow. The hits just keep on coming.
Hope whatever comes your way is good news. Thanks for checking in.

A Little Bit Of News On My Crazy LifeHey guys, I know I haven't written in a while but thats only because I have been incredibly busy!
Just last weekend I graduated from highschool! I was actually very surprised to learn that I would be graduating as the salutatorian of my graduating class with a 4.5 GPA. Walking up on stage to get my diploma as the salutatorian felt very good. On top of all of that I graduated a whole year early! It was a lot of hard work but it all paid off. Now I can get back into the normal groove of things like racing more often! Although I have been out of highschool for a short time, I have kind of thought about the good things I've done and the mistakes I've made. Looking back, I think I would have focused a little bit more on getting my work done instead of making sure I trained like a maniac. I was no doubt a procrastinator most of the time because the only thing in the back of my mind was something with two wheels. Yes, racing kept me a little bit pre-occupied but like I have said before, it has kept me out of trouble. Riding my dirtbike was one of the only escapes for me and still is. I have never had the urge to drink or do any type of drug. In my eyes, they will only put a handicap on my riding capabilities so why in the world would I want to deal with that? At times, I may not have had a bus load of friends because I didn't go with the flow but I am way better off now!
Besides highschool, something even cooler that happened recently was my house on MTV Teen Cribs! It aired for the first time back on April 22nd and has been re-airing almost every week. MTV shot the house for their new spin off of the original Cribs called Teen Cribs. It was so much fun to do a tour of the house and to have MTV at my place. Hopefully you all watched it or are going to watch it. Soon I will post the video or a link to it.
You might be asking so Jessica since you're out of school, what are your next plans? Well for now, I am trying to get into Rollins College down here in Florida. I want to major in journalism and TV broadcasting. I was also offered an internship with Research Media Group out of Alexandria, VA to cover political news. For those of you who aren't familiar with the group, they are the watchdog for the media and help keep the politicians in line. The internship would give me the opportunity to cover news on Capital Hill, the pentagon, the White House and any other major political spot. It will be a very educational and amazing opportunity.
I just saw that Jorge Lorenzo took the pole position today at Mugello; very surprising to me! tomorrow's race should be more than exciting!

Well, it beats "no comment."
When Redskins cornerback DeAngelo Hall was approached by reproters yesterday asking about his $30,000 fine for berating an official, he replied as only he can.
"Back up off me, bro," Hall said, via Mike Jones of the Washington Post.
That was as he came off the practice field, after he didn't welcome questions during open locker room earlier in the day. He apparently stayed on his cell phone, before walking past reporters without any statements.
Hall said previously that he thought the official was "equally at fault," but so far there's been no indication the official has been sanctioned in any way.
"The NFL came in here and talked to a number of players and got their opinions of what happened out on the field," Redskins coach Mike Shanahan said. "[Hall] had a chance to talk to a number of people from the NFL. Merton Hanks, [the NFL's assistant director of operations], was here. It's always good when the NFL steps up and comes over here and gets a chance to hear a player's side of the situation."
Hall's official fine letter said he was fined "for flagrantly violating league rules prohibiting abusive conduct toward game officials," and said he could be suspended for future incidents.
"Your abuses in the October 28 game were captured on tape and witnessed up-close and repeatedly on national television," the letter said. "It was bad enough that you were vulgar with the officials, but it was particularly disturbing that after the first encounter with the officials, instead of separating, you repeatedly went back towards the officials to continue your tirade. . . . You should clearly understand that any type of future abusive conduct toward game officials will result in escalated discipline, which may include suspension for conduct detrimental."
Hall has three days to appeal the fine, and you wonder if he'll ask the league to "back up off" its harsh punishment.

The Home of Fashion Film and Live Fashion Broadcasting
Report by Lou Stoppard on 11 January 2013.
Given that they're all about attitude rather than great clothing, Kitsuné were wise to avoid a conventional fashion show format. Fashion was presented on a selection of the labels new music talents like Say Lou Lou, Citizens! and Yelle, who all performed live. While this was entertaining to watch, it made analysing the clothes somewhat tricky – it's hard to focus on a look when it's obscured by a guitar or keyboard.

People also go around and say "Islam is a very peaceful religion, you have just missunderstood the religion. Muslims will laugh at you because of your ignorance". I am fully aware of how the Quran is a plagarism and how offensive it is to women, science and basically humanity. But what I lack is enough details and exact quotes from the Quran that can strengthen my argument. I read a lot of Dawkins and Hitchens, but unfortunately, their criticize is more focused on Christianity and Judaism, than Islam itself.
Can someone provide some valuable information from the Quran that shows how atrocious it really is. Give me some tips of writers that has analyzed the religion so I can become more educated about the scriptures.
If you have your own viewpoints on Islam do not hesitate to express them.
Also, I would like the context that they are written in.
Views: 2321
In no way am I defending the Qur'an. But a command to kill those people (the Meccans) with whom one is at war prior to 632 should hardly be read as a command to kill Western Christians or Jews in 2012. The OT recounts complete destruction of one's enemies, including the slaughter of infants and the taking of women as slaves, but no Christian leaders advocate this policy of total war today.
Christians, too, seem to feel persecuted by the slightest criticism of their beliefs, so there is very little rational discussion, but what can we expect from adherents to irrational belief systems? Organized religions profess exact knowledge of the desires of supernatural beings and have quite often shown themselves more than willing to destroy human life so as to avoid offending said supernatural beings. It's crazy.
Question: If later verses in the Qur'an supersede earlier ones, how does one determine any sort of order for the suras? They are currently, with the exception of Sura 1, arranged in descending order by length. It makes absolutely no sense to assume that a particular sura is theologically correct by virtue of being shorter. A chronological arrangement would be more logical; a later revelation might reasonably override an earlier one. Have Islamic scholars determined a chronological order? Where can if be found?
Hello, Ex-Muslim here :)
Well, I simply accept that Islamic world in the middle ages was relatively superior to Catholics of the so called "Christian Dark Ages". As time went by Christians started questioning their beliefs and the advanced as a culture
It should be noted that "Islam at its best" was tolerant to people like Omar Khayyam !!
That is not Islam at its best, that simply Middle Eastern world at its best, and thanks to Islam they lost that soon enough....
"Islam at its best" was Imam Al-Gazali claiming that Avicenna (an important Muslim scientist that contributed to medicine) was a heretic because he was doing philosophy (Avicenna was not even against Islam) and no one caring about it.
"Islam at its worsening" is when people start to listening the likes of Al-Gazali...
"Islam at its worsening" is when people like Omar Khayyam who criticise religion are no longer allowed to be...
Islam at its worst = Islam itself as it was meant to be :)
The reason that the Islamic world was better at that time was because they were going to through a "renaissance" of their own - while they were still Muslims, (just like the people of renaissance Italy were Christians) that speaks nothing about Islam. I think tow events are similar because they both involve city-state setting (lack of an unopposable central authority) and good trade income.
It did not last very long with the Islamic world though...
Islam was never toward advancement but in a certain peroid of history Catholics were racing their intolerance with Islam and winning ....
atheists never submit. to any god!
The Qur'an is not nearly as long as the Bible, and I was able to read it in its entirety. There are parts which are horribly unjust, which justify all of the describtive terms used in the OP. I see these accusations come from Christians more often than nontheists. However, I do not see how the Muslim holy book is one bit worse than the Bible. For every repulsive piece you can comb out of the Qur'an, you can find one equally or more severely unjust in the Bible.
When I read the works of Muslim apologists and scholars like Reza Aslan who defend Islam against accusations of promoting violence, they tend not to re-interpret the verses to appear civil as the Christians do, but instead show the Bible to be just as disgusting so they may claim, correctly, that Islam is judged by a double-standard. They think it hypocritical that people, mostly westerns, pick apart the Muslim holy book while ignoring their own sacred texts.
It appears this aspect of Middle-Eastern and Muslim culture is to be blamed for violence among Muslims, just as much as the text itself. The problem with Islam is not that its texts are exceptionally violent, but that many Muslims have not learned to ignore their sacred texts as many Christians have.
I agree with your post fully, but I do not believe that Muslims learning to ignore their texts is going to be a stable solution....
Islam is not Christianity- and that is not about the texts, but in the historical development... Like the relation of siblings even if they are genetically very similar, just because one of them came later they end up being entirely different people.
Christianity was never forced to content with Islam back during the reforms as Islam is contending with Christianity. Christians -with their own dynamics- changed religion, so they had no trouble accepting change.
Today in the Muslim world an important percent of change is being mediated by these "dialouge between religions" thing, and many Muslims see that as an atrocity - because to them it is Christians who never stop bashing their beliefs, and now it is Christians who ask them to ignore some of their texts.
Even one of the moderate Muslims of Turkey (Yaşar Nuri Öztürk) who is against fundamentalists, is not happy with changing education of religion because Christians want them to.
So long as Islam is "standing against oppression & double standard" (in their eyes) Muslims will not care how atrocious or ridiculous it is....
Ideally, anti-Islamic propaganda should be perfectly secular, and not Christian/Western.. I don't see why some seculars are blind to this and actually support Christians against Islam. Against non-religious criticism (preferably ex-Muslims) Muslims will defend their texts comparing them against up-to-date human morality and not the old testament expansion pack....
Since that ideal is out of the table, I don't have any hopes that Muslims will grow more benign. As of now, they grow more extremist by the day (Turkey is a big exception to this; the reasons behind that would be too long to explain now, sufficient to say that I believe those reasons are not reliable, so Turkey is not going to be a solid fortress for moderate Islam in the long run either)
This difference about Muslims standing in the world only adds to the general moderate religion criticisms by Dawkins and others...
These are the reasons why I don't think we should try to re-enact Western secular development in Muslims countries, or expect it to develop that way.
A lot of Muslim scholars historically are convinced that the Quran is far better in its promotion of gender equality that either the Christian Bible or Western society generally, especially as it was before the sexual revolution. Granted, one can also use the Quran to promote misogyny. I don't dispute that. I am writing a paper right now on Arab (mostly Egyptian) feminism at the turn of the 20th century, and all the pro-feminist (they did not use that term, of course) writing is based at least in part on an idea of Quranic equality of the sexes. The hard-line, oppressive, insular point of view is primarily a reaction to western imperialist efforts to westernize the Middle East. The veil is a prime example. No one gave it much though until Western powers tried to ban it. There's a book called Invented Tradition (I forgot the authors) that describe how the Scottish kilt was an 18th century invention and was never seen as traditional Scottish clothing until the English tried to ban it.
I'm sure we'll have quotes for you, but just read the koran. It's in the library. I'm sure it's on the internet.
they eat each other just like the fundy xitans fail times what? .. centuries I'm sure..

Lucy Wyatt and family live on an unspoilt farm by the east coast of England. The farm was derelict but had 600 year-old oak trees, woods, hedgerows and old buildings. The Wyatts restored it using mostly eco-materials and now share this special place with many animals. Lucy, studied International Relations and Italian at Sussex University. As well as researching the ancient past, Lucy is also interested in Earth energies and now leads local Gatekeeper Trust pilgrimages on equinoxes and solstices. She is the author of Approaching Chaos which examines an alternative, an ancient archetype dating from the Bronze Age that helped cities exist in harmony with nature. This archetype influenced the ancient Greeks and Romans, often mistakenly admired as examples of civilized societies. In the first hour, we'll explore the origins of farming, domestication of animals and cities. She explains the intention of the original civilizations, in contrast to the Roman way. Lucy challenges the accepted view of progress since the end of the Ice Age. We'll also touch upon migration, catastrophe and the shadow version of cities.

Ciliary body tumor in a dog
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
My dog is only 4 years old. I have learned that my dog has an "epithelial tumor of the ciliary body" in the eye itself, a"ciliary adenocarcinoma". I am concerned about metastatic rate for this type of tumor, and the recommended best way to monitor on a continuing or long-term basis. My local vet suggested a chest x-ray. Any suggestions or information would be greatly appreciated, as I want to be informed and proactive.
Lili Duda, VMD, Section Editor of the OncoLink Veterinary Oncology Menu, responds:
The ciliary body is a structure that sits within the eye just behind the iris. It is responsible for producing the fluids that nourish the eye, as well as containing muscles that allow the lens to focus.
Primary tumors of the ciliary body are uncommon in dogs, and even less common in cats. They tend to occur in middle-age to older animals. Because these tumors are uncommon, there is a limited amount of information in the veterinary medical literature. However, metastasis of ciliary body adenocarcinomas seems to be uncommon, and tends to happen as the tumor gradually becomes larger and more invasive. If the tumor was not invading through the surface of the globe of the eye at the time it was removed, both metastasis and recurrence of the tumor locally is unlikely. The draining lymph nodes and the lungs should be periodically evaluated for tumor spread by physical examination of the lymph nodes, fine needle aspiration if abnormalities (such as increased size or firmness) are detected, and chest X-rays.
If you or your veterinarian have not already done so, please consult a qualified veterinary oncologist to further explore the treatment options for your pet.

Serj Tankian Unveils Music From His Various Solo Projects
System of a Down singer Serj Tankian has not only been busy wrapping up his latest solo album, 'Harakiri,' but he's also got three other projects in the works, as well. Now fans can hear the diversity of the music that he's been working on with a handful of newly posted tracks.
First up, Tankian has given his track 'Uneducated Democracy' over to RecordStoreDay.com, where it's currently streaming ahead of the singer's July 10 'Harakiri' album release. The track fits in perfectly with what audiences would expect from Tankian. The thoughtful lyrical content takes on the education system and its effect on the world. Tankian belts in rapid-fire frankness, "Without an education there is no democracy / Without an education there is only hypocrisy."
But where 'Uneducated Democracy' fits comfortably within his oeuvre, the three other tracks that have surfaced all show him taking a few risks. Fuktronic is Tankian's electronic side project, and the song 'Chase' is filled with guest vocalists. When Loudwire recently spoke with Tankian, he said, "Fucktronic is a project I did with Jimmy Urine from Mindless Self Indulgence and it's a bunch of electronic tracks with actors talking on them and basically enacting a British gangster film."
The untitled track from Tankian's Jazziz Christ project takes yet another turn, with its deep bass, jazzy piano playing, soothing horns, and groovy beat providing the perfect chill out instrumental piece. Tankian told us, "For 'Jazziz Christ,' it's a jazz record I put together with three amazing jazz players. We're gonna put that out hopefully through a jazz label and do a couple of cool events – again after 'Harakiri's cycle."
The final track to surface comes from Orca, Tankian's more orchestral project. Only a sample of 'Act 1′ has made it online with a moving horn and string section soaring into the orchestral vision that the musician has been enthralled with over the last several years. The singer says it's his hope to eventually combine 'Orca' with his 'Elect the Dead' symphony work for a tour at some point.
As for the three side projects, he adds, "They're not all like record/album/tour/press, that kind of record – some of them are more conceptual and have other components, but they'll all be coming respectively down the line." Read Loudwire's recent interview with Serj Tankian here and listen to the new songs below.

Joe O'Donnell made a small but significant cystic fibrosis victory possible
With his Joey Fund and his experiment in venture philanthropy, the father kept his late son's memory alive.
JOE AND KATHY O'DONNELL could have done many different things after their first child, Joey, drew his final, labored breath and succumbed to the disease, cystic fibrosis, that had plagued him all 12 years of his life. They could have cursed their fate, then and forever. They could have banished the very name of that dreadful illness from their vocabulary. They could have simply become different people, harder people, and moved on.
But they didn't. It's not their way. Even before Joey died in 1986, Joe O'Donnell began raising money to battle cystic fibrosis, not so much to help his son, but to help those he didn't know. After Joey died, he launched the Joey Fund, bringing in many millions of dollars at annual movie screenings, hot dog festivals, and bowling nights.
Joe O'Donnell is an unusual guy. He wears his working-class Everett roots like a favorite sweater, yet he has two degrees from Harvard, unspeakable wealth from a concessions company he founded, the Boston Culinary Group, and has been the casual confidant to governors and presidents (the Bushes).
In 2003, Robert Beall, the widely respected president and CEO of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, asked O'Donnell for a favor. Beall had a novel, risky plan, in which his nonprofit foundation would invest tens of millions of dollars in for-profit bioscience companies to spur scientists to aggressively seek a cure for the disease, a strategy that would come to be called venture philanthropy. Would Joe O'Donnell raise the money — $175 million, to be exact?
So the Boston businessman traveled to every corner of the country. He dialed up wealthy friends and business leaders. He pleaded for a cause that had touched him deeply and touches him still. In the end, he raised $176 million, two years ahead of schedule, by getting, as he once said with a soft laugh, "five million here, ten million there."
Cystic fibrosis is caused by a defective gene that results in abnormally thick and sticky mucus in the air passages, lungs, and digestive system. Patients choke down dozens of pills a day and withstand painful physical therapy, but ultimately, unable to breathe and process food, they typically die by the time they reach their mid-20s.
Fueled by the flow of foundation cash in the early 2000s, scientists in San Diego and later at Vertex Pharmaceuticals in Cambridge performed backbreaking, then groundbreaking work in pursuit of a cure. They found the compound that became Kalydeco in 2004. By 2008, a critical phase of testing bore stunning results. A clinical trial of the twice-a-day pill that began in 2009 was so successful that the FDA then approved the drug in half the typical time. Patients were breathing easier and gaining weight. The drug, which works on about 4 percent of cystic fibrosis patients — those who have a specific mutation of the disease — was shipped to market this year. Scientists are making progress on additional drugs that are expected to address the vast bulk of those with cystic fibrosis. "Joe O'Donnell is instrumental in all of this," says Beall. "We told him we didn't have the money, we needed his help, and it was that first $175 million that allowed us to push the frontiers."
O'Donnell, 68 and living in Belmont, is back at it, in another fund-raising campaign. His time with Joey was painfully brief, but his commitment to the cause will never die.

Yahoo willing to reopen talks, was just kidding around about $37Written by JOJY on May 6, 2008 – 4:02 pm -
Yahoo willing to reopen talks, was just kidding around about $37
After the beating the company is taking in the stock market, and with several prominent investors stepping forward to express dissatisfaction with how things were handled, Yahoo CEO Jerry Yang says he was willing to discuss things further if Microsoft hadn't turned its back on the offer. "We did not say it was a take-it-or-leave-it number in the sense that we would never negotiate any more," he said, referring to the $37 figure. "We were totally willing to do a transaction, and they walked away." Deep down we know he's just miffed to be missing out on sleeping bag to sleeping bag discussions with Ballmer about adding an exclamation mark to Microsoft. Dream on, Yang.

Please reply to this topic in 'Sound' forum
ANy time anyone wants to book and event I always tell them, read the guidelines on the front of the events dairy and MAKE SURE YOU HAVE EVERYTHING YOU NEED WAY BEFOREHAND - DON'T ASSUME WE WILL HAVE EVERYTHING YOU NEED.
Then they do read the front of the book. If it comes to the night and they panic, it's their own fault and I warned them.
PLEASE put something on front of the events book about sound. Maybe someone would like to redo the guidelines in general and make sure the info is still relevant.
(skip to the end to miss out the rant)
When people come to do events and panic, I panic. And the Nachos are burning under the grill. No one's serving the customers. And I'm still trying to find a Night Manager. And this guy/chicks pissed off with me because I don't know the code for the Cave because there's not enough cymbal stands and seem unhelpful and I'm wondering if we're really being as clear as we can about what they have to do. Or I want to tell him/her that they are stupid and should know better.
Oh, wee rant. I'm going to post this up in Cave and Events too. I think we could maybe be a lot clearer about how much we are/ are not able to help people when doing events.
Maybe we don't need to, and they should just know better.
But the KM can't deal with it when thinking of so many other things.
Basically, I'm asking in a roundabout way if someone can make sure the front of the Events book is ultra clear, relevant and accurate.
Shears, Alex*

I cannot get enough of Tarte's Flower Child Natural Eyeshadow Palette. The colors are perfect for spring and the combinations are endless. With names like Peach Tulip, Vibrant Forest Grass, Ecru Hibiscus and Soft Daffodil, it even sounds springy. Which is exactly what Tarte sought to evoke with this palette, designed by makeup artist Tina Turnbow. It's all about saturated pigments of earthy hues with subtle pops of color. And in true Tarte form, it's free of all of parabens, talc, preservatives, GMOs and other un-natural ingredients.
It also comes with a double-ended eyeliner, brush and a sample of natural eye primer. Really, what's not to love about this palette? I highly recommend you give this a second look on your next trip to Sephora!

Discover a Whole New Way of Seeing the World Around You
Clare Walker Leslie & Charles E Roth
Foreword by Edward O Wilson
Softbound, beautifully illustrated in pen and ink drawings and watercolor
Clare Walker Leslie's work is so invaluable in the field of nature study, for all ages everywhere. We use it in our Roots & Shoots program to help young people sharpen their observation skills and deepen their connection with nature.
– Jane Goodall
Founder, The Jane Goodall Institute
For many years now, both Bob and I have felt strongly that there was a need to offer 6th, 7th and 8th grade students (and high school students, for that matter) more direct contact with living nature than the conventional Waldorf curriculum calls for. In our view, our modern world has become so very separated from the Life of the world, that it has become a pedagogical need to balance that reality with something more.
Keeping a Nature Journal offers a beautiful, lively way to do just this – and to do it in the contexts of Steiner's phenomenological approach to science, drawing & painting, and upper grades composition writing. Whether in a classroom or homeschool setting, this book opens doorways to really seeing our world and in the process, also really seeing ourselves and each other. It is simply a gifted work of art, something anyone who teaches will want to discover for themselves. There is even an entire section devoted to ways of teaching this to both children and adults.
Our hope is that the offering of this book will lead many more adults to travel the seasons with their students, and to share the love for nature that grows from such a journey.
1 Review
Since I first saw this book seven years ago I have daydreamed about creating an entire curriculum around the themes outlined here. Clare Walker Leslie lays out both the whys and the hows of keeping a nature journal and provides her own beautiful illustrations, as well as those of children she's worked with. It is user friendly and easily accessible, but so deep and rich. Every family, homeschooling or not, should own a copy.

Alena Antonovna Tsvirka, the daughter of Ina and Anton Tsvirka of Gorodeya, Minsk, Belarus, was married to Henry Charles Uihlein of Amagansett on Dec. 22 at the Montauk Community Church. The Rev. Bill Hoffman officiated, and a reception followed at Gurney's Inn.
Mr. Uihlein owns Uihlein's Marina in Montauk and is a former high school athletic director at the Shelter Island School. He attended the Montauk School, East Hampton High School, and the University of Tampa, and then earned a master's degree in education from New York University. His parents, Charlotte and Henry Uihlein, are deceased.
The bride studied at the Belarusian State Economic University. She came to Montauk on a seasonal work visa. While walking by Mr. Uihlein's marina, she heard two women speaking Russian and stopped to talk, then met her future husband.
For their wedding, which the bride described as "a perfect Christmas wedding," she wore an ivory Casablanca dress and carried a bouquet of ivory roses and crystal-centered white stephanotis. Janeen DeFina of Montauk was her maid of honor. She was also attended by Bailey Thompson Somero of Montauk and her sister-in-law, Maryia Semianchova of Toronto. They wore black dresses and red shoes and carried bouquets of red roses and white stephanotis.
Mr. Uihlein's best man was Thomas Dolan of Montauk and Oyster Bay. His groomsmen were his son by a previous marriage, Henry Christian Uihlein of Amagansett, and the bride's brother, Victor Tsvirko of Toronto. Also at the wedding was the couple's 1-year-old son, Alexander Charles Uihlein.
The reception included a performance by Mr. Dolan, an original song by Lenny DeFina of Montauk, and illusions by Joe Garsetti.
After a wedding trip to Miami and Key West, the couple are back at home in Amagansett.
