Authors: Armstrong, Lucy B.
Date: March 8, 1858
Lucy Armstrong wrote from Wyandotte, Kansas Territory, to Gen. William Brindle at the Land Office in Lecompton, regarding her request for land entitled to her as the widow of John M. Armstrong. Armstrong listed the number of documents she had sent to the Land Office in order to prove herself an heir of John M. of the Wyandot nation, which would show her entitlement to a "float". She had not seen any action on the matter, and wanted to secure a land claim in the Shawnee lands before they were all spoken by white settlers. Armstrong expressed great distress over this matter, having fought to claim her land entitlement for over a year.

Legal document, Request for Law Directive from Margarite Skicket
Authors: Bartley, Mordecai ; McLaughlin, William ; Skicket, Margarite
Date: March 26, 1858
This document, directed to the Senate and House of Representatives of the U.S. Congress, described the experience of Margarite Skecket, herself part Osage Indian, who was granted land under a treaty of June 1825. Because she had married, she left that land for that of her husband, a Delaware Indian. Upon his death, she returned to her own land but found that her half-sister had sold it back to the government, having given none of the monetary returns to the land's rightful owner, Skecket herself. This document requested that a law directive be created, which would require Skecket's half-sister to turn over the $1280 to her.

Letter, Lucy B. Armstrong to C. E. Mix
Authors: Armstrong, Lucy B.
Date: July 23, 1858
Lucy Armstrong, widow of John M. Armstrong, a Wyandot Nation leader, wrote to Charles E. Mix, Commissioner of Indian Affairs. Armstrong wrote that Commissioner Lawrence, in the service of Indian Affairs, had threatened that, because she was such a bother in the matter of obtaining her land entitlement, he would revenge himself to her. She countered to Mix that she had not been a bother, but was upset because the land finally granted her was in three separate pieces, one below the high water mark, and alluded to Mix that she thought Commissioner Lawrence was assigning these poor claims to the Indians in order to leave the better ones for themselves.

Letter, Samuel C. [Smith] to "Dear Dr." [C. Robinson]
Authors: Smith, Samuel C.
Date: December 7, 1858
In this letter, also from Lawrence, Smith went into some detail about developments with respect to the Delaware lands, apparently connected to a railroad promotion scheme. The Indians "know that [Robert S.] Stevens is connected with the R. R. enterprise and this action of his . . . Has excited their mistrust and caused obstacles to rise in the way of such a treaty as you [Robinson] desire."

Letter, S.C.S [Samuel C. Smith] to Dear Doctor [C. Robinson]
Authors: Smith, Samuel C.
Date: December 19, 1858
The focus of this letter from Lawrence to Robinson in Washington, D.C., was the effort underway in Lawrence and Douglas County to attract a railroad and to have it built south of the Kansas River. Leavenworth, Kansas City, and Lawrence were obviously in the midst of their battle to gain advantage on the transportation front, and the decisions being made in Washington at that time with respect to land grants were vital to their future interests.

Empty Sunflower Seeds?
in Plants
I cut a head off one of my Mongolian Sunflowers to collect its seeds. But most of them were just empty husks. Have a tried too early or am I just unlucky?
waterbutts Posts: 1,221
The little flowers in the centre didn't get pollinated. Did you see bees on them?
Like the secateurs. They are good aren't they? Rather symbolic in this photo, unfortunately.0
Yes there were bees on them. Ill have a look at another flower an see what that's like.0
Welshonion Posts: 3,115
I can't see exactly from the photo, but empty husks either mean low pollination or the birds got there first!
The middle flowers are the last to develop and be pollinated.0

The St. Louis Cardinals could not quite make it without former manager Tony LaRussa and All-Star first baseman Albert Pujols. The Cardinals fell one game short of defending their 2011 World Series title by losing game seven of the NL Championship Series to the San Francisco Giants. St. Louis led the series three games to one before San Francisco stormed back to win three straight.
LaRussa had managed the Cardinals for 16 years. In that time he took them to the post season eight times. St. Louis advanced to the World Series in 2004, 2006 and 2011. They won it all in 2006 and 2011. LaRussa stepped down at the end of last season and turned over the reins to coach Mike Matheny.
Pujols was simply the Cardinals best player from 2001 to 2011. In that time he won everything from rookie of the year to most valuable player. In 11 years with St. Louis, Pujols batted .328 with 445 home runs and 1,329 runs batted in. He fell just short of becoming the first NL Triple Crown winner since 1937 in 2010. That season he led the league in home runs and RBI, but fell short in batting average.
Pujols' October numbers are .330 with 18 home runs and 52 RBI. His most memorable game was a three home run performance against the Texas Rangers in the third game of the 2011 World Series.
Pujols became a free agent at the end of last season and signed with the Los Angeles Angels. This left the Cardinals without their future hall of fame manager and best player going into 2012.
St. Louis played well enough without LaRussa and Pujols to earn a wildcard under the new playoff format. The Cardinals finished fifth in the NL standings which earned them the last spot and a play-in game with the Atlanta Braves. St. Louis won that game and a five game divisional series with the Washington Nationals.
In the play-in and divisional series, LaRussa and Pujols were not missed. They may have been in the NLCS.
The Cardinals hitters never really got on track against San Francisco. They did score six runs in game one and eight in game four, but were held to three or less in the others. St. Louis was shut out in games five and seven. In the final three games of the series they scored one run. This probably would not have happened with Pujols in the lineup.
Matheny managed the ball club well this season. He got them back to the playoffs though many counted them out after a slow start. Matheny did a good job in getting St. Louis one game away from the World Series. Though, one could make a case that LaRussa would have closed the deal against the Giants we must remember that he had Pujols and Matheny did not.
No one can say for sure that LaRussa and Pujols would have carried the Cardinals back to defend their title. The Giants may have won anyway and deserve credit for a tremendous comeback.
However, one can not help but feel as though St. Louis got as far as they could in 2012 without LaRussa and Pujols. That was one game short of where they wanted to be.

Dear compatriots in the Thai-Meo Autonomous Region,
For one year now, the North-West area has been completely liberated. This is owing to the close unity among all nationalities and their enthusiastic participation in the Resistance war, to the valiant struggle of our army, and to the clearsighted leadership of the Party and Government.
Now, upon the proposal of the Party and the decision of the Government, the Thai-Meo Autonomous Region is established.
The aim of the founding of the Thai-Meo Autonomous Region is to enable the brother nationalities gradually to run all their own activities so as rapidly to develop their economy and culture, and realize equality among nationalities in all respects.
The Thai-Meo Autonomous Region is an integral part of the great family of Viet Nam, making with other brother nationalities a monolithic bloc of unity. It will always enjoy the education and leadership of the Party and Government and the assistance of other brother nationalities.
The Thai-Meo Autonomous Region is at present under a democratic regime, with the people as masters. It is completely different from the faked "Thai Autonomy" previously founded by the enemy with a view to dividing and repressing the nationalities.
Today we celebrate the anniversary of the great victory won by our army and people in Dien Bien Phu; at the same time we officially found the Thai-Meo Autonomous Region. Therefore this is a very glorious historical day for the compatriots in the North West and for the whole Democratic Republic of Viet Nam as well.
The compatriots in the North West have the particular honour of having their autonomous region established first. Hence, they have the particular task of striving to set an example to other autonomous regions which will be founded one after the other.
To deserve that great honour and to fulfil that lofty task, the compatriots in the Thai-Meo Autonomous Region should:
— Ensure close unity among all nationalities, love and help one another as brothers and sisters.
— Emulate in increasing production so that everybody will be provided with enough cloth and food.
— Keep constant vigilance and be ready to help the army and the security service in frustrating the enemy's plots of sowing dissension and of sabotage.
As regards the cadres, there should be sincere unity between old and new cadres, between cadres of the locality and those coming on duty from other places, between army cadres and cadres of the Party and Government; they should all wholeheartedly serve the people and resolutely fight against bureaucracy, commandism, corruption and waste.
On this occasion, the Government again earnestly calls on those North Westerners who have gone astray, to right their wrong without delay and to return to their honest life among the people. The Government and the people are always lenient with those who have repented.
The Party and the Government have confidence in the patriotic spirit and the struggle of the compatriots in the Thai-Meo Autonomous Region and hope that all of them will remain single-minded and unite their efforts to develop and improve the autonomous region day by day so as to make valuable contributions to the struggle for peace, national unity, independence and democracy in the whole of our beloved country.
My greetings of affection and of determination to win.
May 7, 1955

truly a sight for sore eyes, am i right? sigh!
but hard to believe that the berry brigade is just around the corner, waiting to march forward and unroll its riches before us week by week. where has the year gone to?
it's been a busy week around here, between trying to get our yard in shape and keeping up with work in the office. i've got a couple of secret projects on the needles but plenty of public knitting to share as well. and new stuff we've been playing with—let's get started.
the honeysuckle along the back fence is in bloom and i see it from the kitchen window first thing each morning.
of course it lured me out to take a walk in the garden—it has been so nice to pick this habit back up; i missed it last year, when we didn't have a vegetable patch.
what i saw amazed me—pea shoots just coming up out of the earth from seeds i planted on tuesday. wow, just WOW. we had some good rain over the last few days, which must have made them very happy.
and teeny little potatoes from spuds i planted last saturday.
nearby, at the side of the garden is a much bigger volunteer growing from leftovers of a previous year; i thought we'd pulled them all out, but we must have missed one, haha.
ok, i could not get a good photo of this because the camera just didn't want to focus on the right thing but i've got baby bell peppers growing already; these plants went in the ground on memorial day.
but my favorite discovery of all is this sunny smile
i thought i saw buds the last time i was out there but i wasn't sure. now i know. and there are bees hovering about as well, making sure the pollination gets done, so we should soon see some tiny squashes. and hopefully, we'll see them before any invaders get in there.
isn't it amazing how fast it all takes off, once the plants are in the ground? we've been eating from our asparagus patch pretty regularly for the last month; we collect a few or six stalks each day and store them up until we have enough for a meal; they are so good grilled and added to eggs with mushrooms. mmm-mmmm
the tomato plants are also growing like crazy; i can even see some improvement in the too-tiny roma tomato plants we bought, though they seem sluggish in comparison; hopefully they'll catch up. david got the trellises up and rigged a climbing system for the plants similar to that you would use for peas. some of these tomatoes will need pruning soon, yikes.
the climbing hydrangea is so heavy with flowers that they are literally laying on top of one another in layers. when i think of all the years we waited for it to grow to climbing height (five) and then for that first single flower to appear (another two), i can hardly believe the size and fecundity it has achieved since then.
it bloomed this week, spewing heavy pollen dust from each of the thousands (or maybe millions) of tiny buds that make up its lace cap flower heads. it's quite astonishing in total size, actually.
but the truly amazing thing is its thickness. we never prune it back because it always seem very full and healthy; now when it's in full leaf, it completely obliterates the trellis that supports it, creating a nice bower over the entry to the back yard.
well, apparently this year it has caught the eye of the robins, which normally nest up in the eaves of our front porch. a couple of weeks back when it was just starting to bud out, i saw them scoping out the back yard all week for a nesting spot. after poking around in every nook and cranny, in the end they took a fancy to the deep leafy cave at the top of the bower.
one day in a chilly, pouring-down rain, i noticed the male and female pair carting nesting material into the cozy hide hole while the squirrels scampered through the garden ferreting out the last of their nuts and acorns.
but not directly—every time they'd approach with a load of dry grass or twigs, they would first land in the tree just outside the kitchen window in full view of all the other creatures, standing there with mouthfuls of nesting material, not doing anything at all.
then they would quick dive into the cave.
and repeat.
it was hilarious—i'm sure the squirrels were laughing all the way to the oak tree "hey, get a load of those robins, won'tcha!" in fact, they no sooner had their nest built than the cardinals moved in for a fight. for one whole day the robins fought them off and eventually won out—now they seem to be living a more or less undisturbed life there. i can't see the nest at all, but i'm pretty sure there are eggs; one bird is always on it and the other goes in and out with food.
hopefully the squirrels will leave them alone.
the iris are gorgeous throughout our neighborhood this year, including the small patch we have—huge, showy dark purple flowers came out and i couldn't be happier, though none of my photos from that day were very well focused.
my autumn fern has finally opened though
it's a bit more brilliant than it appears here—this fern is orange, gold, and burgundy in the spring; it really stands out against all the bright green now. then toward fall it greens up and stays that way all winter. it's nice to have one plant with a reversed color pattern.
it kind of matches the mohair lace scarf i've been working on with sweet georgia silk mist in the woodland colorway. i admit this project is moving rather slowly but that's ok with me. it's my current traveler project; it folds up teeny tiny into a little purse sized project bag and weighs just one ounce—less than my sunglasses. i memorized the pattern during the first repeat so i can whip it out anywhere and work on it wherever. perfect.
in contrast, the raglan cabled jacket i'm knitting in our confection worsted is much to large to bring anywhere at this point—i don't even like to cart it up and down stairs (well ok, that might be my laziness in play). but if i keep it upstairs where we watch TV, i get lots more done on it. it's perfect for that time of night when i'm tired but i still want something to do—i really don't have to think or even look at it to get a few rows done. that's my kind of late-night project.
as you can see, i've now got past the underarm and have joined the sleeves on.
that means that i'm working all around the yoke as it circles my upper arms—the rows are as long as they get in this garment and yet, they still seem to fly along. that's the beauty of worsted weight yarn. i am on my fourth skein with about half of that left; i'm thinking i just might get away with using only five total skeins, but it's really too soon to tell.
AND i've been swatching and playing with our new romney/mohair/silk blend, cabécou and can i just say? it's stunning.
i have much to tell you about it but i need to wait til next time—david has not added it to the store yet and i want to be able to give you links for it. suffice it to say that if you've been waiting for us to restock the chévre worsted, this could be the answer to your prayers—only better. i'll tell you all about it as soon as david organizes a yarn page for it.
until then, please check out the other two new things we announced this week. first, signups are open now for our rhinebeck after party, a fun followup to the wool show festivities, specifically designed for participants to kick back, play with their purchase, and do some fun investigative work into new knitting knowledge. click here to read more and to join us.
and then, inspired by last year's summer of cotton knitting (which really went far to soothe the frayed nerves from a house-wide summer renovation project)
our newbie knitter sarah is hosting a cotton KAL in our ravelry mothership, kicking off with a group cast on for the summer solstice (you can PM sarah for more info).
we'll be stocking some deliciously cool organic color grown cottons in our online shop and featuring them in both rejuvenated designs from our back catalog as well as some new ones that are percolating in my head. and of course you can BYOY; we don't discriminate—we just wanna have fu-un.
small, soft accessory knits make for excellent summer projects—they travel compactly and are wonderful conversation pieces, yet totally easy care enough to knit at the beach or a barbecue if you feel like it.
and with sarah at the helm, this one promises to be tons of laughs and little stress—so please join the fun!
i think that's it for today—hope you have a great weekend. i'm running two races (i know, crazy, but they are for good causes); one is a night glo—a 5K at 9:30 pm this evening and the other is a 10K first thing tomorrow morning. on sunday we're having company and i'm going to cook something yummy—ciambotta, a fresh summery vegetable stew that was one of my grandma's specialties. and a strawberry rhubarb pie, because i've had a craving for too many weeks now.
pictures will be taken and shared, i promise (beckie, please make sure i do!).

ORLANDO, Fla. — October 20, 2015 — Independent developers n-Space and Digital Extremes announced today that Sword Coast Legends™, the award-winning, party-based RPG set in the Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) Forgotten Realms universe from Wizards of the Coast has launched for PC, Mac, and Linux.

An apparent gas explosion that leveled a Park Avenue apartment building and killed two people halted all Metro North Railroad service just as the morning commute was winding down on Wednesday.
For the Wednesday night rush hour, Metro-North is running limited service with combined trains. The railroad said late Wednesday afternoon that riders should expect delays and crowded conditions tonight.
Normally, the stretch of the railroad near today's explosion site has four tracks open and a speed limit of 60 mph. Right now, there are two open tracks and they have a speed limit of 30 mph.
About 14 people were injured in the morning explosion, officials said, and an adjoining building was heavily damaged.
Kate Morris, who lives at 118th Street and Fifth Avenue, a few blocks away from the blast site, said she thought a bomb had gone off.
"I heard a huge boom at about 9:30 and my mirror and the walls shook,'' she said in a phone interview with Hearst Connecticut Media. "I heard sirens and choppers overhead almost immediately, and when I went outside there were tons of cops and fire department (members).
"Some of them were climbing on piles of debris that must have been two or three stories high, moving the debris wirth buckets. I saw M.E. (medical examiner) trucks, ambulances and ConEd.''
Morris said that the air was thick with dust and smoke, and many people were wearing masks. "It kind of ebbs and flows; when they move some of the debris there's more smoke,'' she said shortly after noon.
But despite the rubble, smoke and the heavy police and fire presence at the scene, Wednesday morning's blast didn't feel too much like 9/11, she said.
"There's no terror or fear. Nobody is running around scared,'' Morris said.
Metro-North halted all trains because some debris had fallen onto the elevated tracks, which run alongside the blast site, at 1652 Park Avenue. Patchwork service was gradually restored, with the New York subway system, also operated by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, honoring the railroad's tickets and passes.
At the Stamford station between 11 a.m. and noon, commuters waited for expected trains to carry them to the Woodlawn-East 233rd St. station in the Bronx where they could transfer to subways to Grand Central Terminal.
Darren Jahncke of Westport said that he needed to get into work and would use the substitute service. "It's very inconvenient but there really isn't a choice," he said.
After hearing about the service disruption John Altieri of Fairfield decided to buy a ticket for an Amtrak train to Newark,N.J. that would take him to Penn Station in order to reach a court hearing in Manhattan by 2 p.m.
"Lawyers have to show up at hearings," Altieri said.
Bob and Jean Meyer of Stamford decided to play it safe and take a raincheck on their field trip to the Museum of Modern Art.
"We're retirees so this isn't an essential trip," Bob Meyers said. "Going into the city you have to worry about getting back out if they don't get this resolved this afternoon."Read Full Article
A Con Edison crew was en route to the five-story building on a report of a gas leak, a utility spokeswoman said. The report came in at 9:13 a.m. and the crew arrived shortly after the explosion. They remained on the scene to assist.
The National Transportation Safety Board which has five ongoing investigations into Metro-North derailments and worker fatalities, is also launching an investigative team to look into Wednesday's possible gas line explosion. The NTSB has regulatory oversight of the nation's pipelines and transmission networks.
Sidewalks for blocks around were littered with broken glass from shattered storefront and apartment windows. Witnesses said that the blast near Park Avenue and 116th Street was so powerful it knocked groceries off the shelves of nearby stores.
Staff reporters Martin Cassidy, Frank Juliano and Wes Duplantier and the Associated Press contributed to this report.

Police: Stolen car was torched
Published 8:39 pm, Monday, October 8, 2012
STAMFORD -- A car found burning in Cummings Park early Sunday morning was taken from its owner hours earlier, after he was held up at gunpoint and forced to withdraw money from an ATM, police said.
Lt. Diedrich Hohn said the Nissan Maxima firefighters found at about 4:30 a.m. Sunday was claimed a few hours later by a Bridgeport man who said it was taken from him. Hohn said gasoline may have been used to set the fire.
The 21-year-old man came to police at 7 a.m. Sunday to report that as he was walking into Cove Road Mini-Mart at 12:30 a.m., he was approached by a man armed with a handgun, police said. The man forced him into the car and made him drive to Bank of America on Shippan Avenue to withdraw money.
After giving the gunman the money, the robber took his wallet containing his license, telling him he would kill him if he went to police, Hohn said. After dropping the man off on Myrtle Avenue, the gunman drove off with the car.
The man then walked to the Stamford railroad station and took a train to Bridgeport. After thinking about it for a while, the man decided to go back to Stamford and report the robbery, Hohn said.
Hohn said even though the man did not report the robbery right away, he was cooperative with police and since there have been two armed robberies of Cove Road Mini-Mart, police are taking the carjack report seriously and are reviewing security video to substantiate the incident.
"It is still under investigation," Hohn said.
Cove Road Mini-Mart was robbed by gunman on Sept. 6 and on Sept. 23.

The Golden Bough A study of magic and religion
Page: 455In Slavonic countries, also, the midsummer festival is celebrated with similar rites. We have already seen that in Russia on the Eve of St. John young men and maidens jump over a bonfire in couples carrying a straw effigy of Kupalo in their arms. In some parts of Russia an image of Kupalo is burnt or thrown into a stream on St. John's Night. Again, in some districts of Russia the young folk wear garlands of flowers and girdles of holy herbs when they spring through the smoke or flames; and sometimes they drive the cattle also through the fire in order to protect the animals against wizards and witches, who are then ravenous after milk. In Little Russia a stake is driven into the ground on St. John's Night, wrapt in straw, and set on fire. As the flames rise the peasant women throw birchen boughs into them, saying, "May my flax be as tall as this bough!" In Ruthenia the bonfires are lighted by a flame procured by the friction of wood. While the elders of the party are engaged in thus "churning" the fire, the rest maintain a respectful silence; but when the flame bursts from the wood, they break forth into joyous songs. As soon as the bonfires are kindled, the young people take hands and leap in pairs through the smoke, if not through the flames; and after that the cattle in their turn are driven through the fire.
In many parts of Prussia and Lithuania great fires are kindled on Midsummer Eve. All the heights are ablaze with them, as far as the eye can see. The fires are supposed to be a protection against witchcraft, thunder, hail, and cattle disease, especially if next morning the cattle are driven over the places where the fires burned. Above all, the bonfires ensure the farmer against the arts of witches, who try to steal the milk from his cows by charms and spells. That is why next morning you may see the young fellows who lit the bonfire going from house to house and receiving jugfuls of milk. And for the same reason they stick burs and mugwort on the gate or the hedge through which the cows go to pasture, because that is supposed to be a preservative against witchcraft. In Masuren, a district of Eastern Prussia inhabited by a branch of the Polish family, it is the custom on the evening of Midsummer Day to put out all the fires in the village. Then an oaken stake is driven into the ground and a wheel is fixed on it as on an axle. This wheel the villagers, working by relays, cause to revolve with great rapidity till fire is produced by friction. Every one takes home a lighted brand from the new fire and with it rekindles the fire on the domestic hearth. In Serbia on Midsummer Eve herdsmen light torches of birch bark and march round the sheepfolds and cattle-stalls; then they climb the hills and there allow the torches to burn out.

Brad Cure was tending a vegetable patch 20 years ago when he had a spiritual revelation he began seeing auras around the plants and feeling their vibrations.
Already practiced in meditation, the Juneau carpenter said he began "communicating with nature and the plants" after he took a gardening job at a rural California ranch in the late 1970s. The job required him to spend many hours alone outside he said that's when the auras appeared.
"The plants would actually be glowing. I would see their auras, I would get this feeling from the plants of a certain vibration level," said Cure, whose name is pronounced Cure-ay. "It was a loving vibration level the plants were giving, and because I was quiet and perceptive, I was able to communicate back on the same level to the plants. It was beyond words."
Cure said he doesn't see the auras anymore because he is more focused on family and his career. He owns a carpentry business, The Perfect Fit, and is raising three children with wife Pam, whom he married after he moved to Juneau in 1980 to find a "more wild, pristine nature." Even though the perceptions have gone, he said the experience profoundly changed him.
"In nature I have discovered the essence of life, and it has opened my eyes to some beautiful, wonderful experiences that have helped me to maintain focus and sanity in a crazy world."
Cure describes the auras as a white-and-green energy field visible to people who are "sensitive," a state he said he achieved after years of meditation and a couple of months alone in nature tending the vegetables and hiking the Sierra Nevadas. He said the ability to see auras is a "byproduct" of being quiet and in touch with yourself.
"For me, it was a very deep spiritual experience that sometimes brings tears to my eyes of real joy," Cure said. "It allowed me to live on a higher level of existence and to be able to see these auras and communicate with people on a much deeper level."
He said the experience continued for six months, culminating in a "deeper level of awareness" that is more accessible to people who are not distracted by work, family and other diversions.
"It was like being in an IMAX 3-D theater and life just opened up doors and worlds that are right here, right in front of us that you don't see when you're busy," said Cure, adding he was not on drugs, which he calls "a forced door, not the same as when you open doors naturally."
It seems doors in the earthly realm have opened naturally for Cure, too. He has owned his own companies most of his career, and money has come "easily" to him "probably because I really don't give it that important of a status in my life." He made his first venture into business as a child when he sold walnuts door-to-door in Walnut Creek, Calif.
"Because I was this little, blond towhead who would charm the housewives, I was able to sell walnuts, even though they had them in their front yards," said Cure, laughing. "People want to do business with people who they enjoy being around, that's what I learned then."
Cure first learned carpentry as a teen-ager and opened The Perfect Fit shortly after moving here. He said he likes to work for himself because it allows him the chance to do only his best quality work, and "that's not always the business philosophy of other people."
His work as a carpenter means he relies on loggers to cut down trees the very thing he holds dear. But he said people need timber, and it can be used with respect in a way that honors the trees. Cure said he also tries to use recycled wood; a building on Willoughby Avenue he constructed is faced with old-growth redwood, which he salvaged from a defunct city water tank.
What does the future hold? Hopefully a photography business and a gallery, he said. But ultimately the future will test his spiritual conviction that death is a passage into "another world, just on the other side."
"My soul will continue, I know that. When I die, it's not just going to be the end. There is continuance."

As Beyoncé once sang, "Who run the world? Girls.
And it's true, especially in the case of the upcoming Boy Meets World reboot, Girl Meets World.
Everyone's favourite television OTP, Cory Matthews and Topanga Lawrence (returning stars Ben Savage and Danielle Fishel), are officially back and with some new family members in tow. But instead watching them raise a family in New York City, fans will be following their daughter Riley's (Rowan Blanchard) growing pains.
In our first look at the reboot, Riley and her friend Maya (Sabrina Carpenter), a.k.a. the Shawn Hunter to her Cory Matthews, try to sneak out of Riley's room through the window and down the fire escape. Little did they know that Riley's dad, good ol' Cory, made the same daring move before and catches them in the act.
"How long do I have to live in my father's world?" Riley asks.
"I'm telling you: make it yours," Cory responds in a sly nod to the passing of the torch.
And just like his parents, Amy and Allen, he and Topanga promise to be there for Riley as she and Maya go through the epic highs and lows of growing up.
If that wasn't enough to get you excited over this reboot, GMW has some epic cameos on the way.
Shawn Hunter (Rider Strong), and Amy and Allen Matthews (Betsy Randle and William Russ) will appear in the special holiday episode, according to E!. Mr. Feeny (William Daniels) will briefly return to the BMW-verse in the show's pilot episode.
The brainy know-it-all and Topanga's scholastic rival, Minkus ( Lee Norris a.k.a. Mouse on One Tree Hill) is also slated for a cameo.
Girl Meets World is scheduled to debut this summer on the Disney Channel. Will you be watching?

Acid Reflux & GERD
Acid Reflux, GERD, and other disorders
Sometimes, the feeling of really bothersome heartburn can actually be acid reflux or a medical condition called GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease).
What is Acid Reflux?
Acid reflux is the term used when the acid in your stomach backs up or 'refluxes' into the esophagus where it doesn't belong.
Acid Reflux Symptoms
The most common symptom of acid reflux is heartburn — but it isn't the only one. In fact, you may not even experience heartburn when you're suffering from acid reflux. Another common acid reflux symptom is the feeling of acid backing up into your throat. This can cause a sour or bitter taste in the mouth. You may also experience a 'wet burp' or even throw up.
Heartburn 2X or more a week.
What is GERD?
Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease or GERD refers to chronic or recurring acid reflux. Reflux by itself isn't unusual. GERD, on the other hand, develops when acid reflux happens two or more times a week and produces troublesome symptoms. If left untreated, GERD may lead to some serious health problems. Only your doctor can tell you if you have GERD.
How serious is GERD?
When your esophagus or throat are regularly exposed to stomach acid for a prolonged period of time. It can cause pain, inflammation of the esophagus and tissue abnormalities. This could affect your quality of life, ability to swallow, breathe and even speak. Unmanaged, this damage could increase your risk of developing certain types of cancers.
Talk to a healthcare professional if:
- You experience heartburn or acid reflux more than once a week
- You still suffer from heartburn even after taking over-the-counter or prescription heartburn medications
- Your heartburn symptoms become more severe over time
- Your heartburn symptoms start lasting longer or become more frequent
- You experience severe hoarseness or wheezing
- Swallowing food or pills becomes difficult or painful
Always read and follow the label and use as directed. TUMS is for the treatment of mild to moderate heartburn. This site is not intended to diagnose your medical conditions. Consult your doctor if you have any questions.

Moto X will be announced on August 1
OK, it's finally over. The endless speculation game about when Motorola would finally unveil the Moto X has concluded. That's because the now Google-owned company has finally decided to come clean, and let everybody know that August 1 is the big date. So go, write that down somewhere.
This also clears up a misconception – namely that Google's July 24 event may have anything to do with the Moto X. It may be owned by Google, but Motorola is a separate company, and Google has been trying very hard to show the other Android device makers that there's a 'Chinese wall' between the Android division and Motorola. How believable would that have been if Google's VP in charge of Android were to announce a new Motorola handset?! Exactly.
So August 1 it is – one week from next Thursday. Oh, it's not July 23 either – that's when Verizon will unveil its new lineup of Droid-branded Motorola smartphones, neither of which are the X.
So now we can all stop speculating on these dates, and start speculating on everything else there is to know about all of these awesome upcoming smartphones. It was about time, really.

Stone's Fall (Paperback)
On Our Shelves Now
At his London home, John Stone falls out of a window to his death. A financier and arms dealer, Stone was a man so wealthy that he was able to manipulate markets, industries, and indeed entire countries and continents. Did he jump, was he pushed, or was it merely a tragic accident? His alluring and enigmatic widow hires a young crime reporter to investigate. The story moves backward in time--from London in 1909 to Paris in 1890 and finally to Venice in 1867--and the attempts to uncover the truth play out against the backdrop of the evolution of high-stakes international finance, Europe's first great age of espionage, and the start of the twentieth century's arms race. Stone's Fall is a tale of love and frailty, as much as it is of high finance and skulduggery. The mixture, then, as now, is an often fatal combination.
About the Author
Iain Pears is the author of the bestsellers An Instance of the Fingerpost and The Dream of Scipio and a novella, The Portrait, as well as a series of acclaimed detective novels, a book of art history and countless articles on artistic, financial and historical subjects. He lives in Oxford, England. From the Hardcover edition.
Praise For…
"When I read Iain Pears' An Instance of the Fingerpost years ago, I thought it was so brilliantly plotted, so compulsively entertaining, so utterly engrossing that I gave it to my father and said, 'This is the new Dickens.' Stone's Fall is better."—Malcolm Gladwell
"Mr. Pears's assured command of period history, language, lore, and attitudes is formidable."–The Wall Street Journal

I love how yesterday's Post had an article against the WSJ's front page image of Elena Kagan. It is a black and white image of her holding a bat ready to swing. The Post suggested that WSJ was trying to imply that she is a lesbian (when really the article metaphorically spoke of her "stance"). But even if it was about her lesbianism, I am much more comfortable with that than with the fact that we had a president leading this country claiming that he spoke to God.Read More →

I love this country because of the freedoms we are allowed. Samuel Johnson said: "Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel."

The Metropolitan Transportation Authority pays a consultant (Accenture) $115 million dollars to help them save money. A five year contract was signed in February 2009 and one of Accenture's first suggestions was to cut $49 million in jobs. That covers the first two years of their contract! It's moves like this that explain why the MTA is running at a $400 million dollar deficit. Doesn't this upset anyone!? Who are the dunderheads that run this organization? If they need to pay that much money for a consultant then they shouldn't be running the MTA. Hello Tea Party members: Please stage a protest against these idiots!Read More →

Mumbai, Jan. 5 -- Ajay Devgn spent a quiet New Year's Eve with his family - wife Kajol, kids Nysa and Yug and his cousins - at their farmhouse in Panvel but little did he know that he was in for a chaotic experience upon his return to the city.
The actor was shooting for Prabhu Dheva's next, Action Jackson on Saturday (January 4) when an unruly crowd put a spanner in the works. "Passers-by spotted Ajay shooting on the streets in Oshiwara and gathered to catch a glimpse of the star. People blocked the road in their attempt to reach Ajay," says an eyewitness.
The source goes on to reveal that Ajay was shooting a scene where he was travelling in an autorickshaw. Onlookers were excited to see Ajay in the autorickshaw and tried to approach him," says the eyewitness.
However, the mob got out of control and Ajay's bodyguards were not able to manage the situation on their own. That's when the makers had to call the traffic police to help them out.
"The police came after half an hour. Ajay's personal guards tried their best to keep the crowd away from the actor, as much as possible. However, once the police arrived, things came under control and after a while the makers could resume the shoot," says the source.

*List Entrance Requirement*: Any combatant wishing to enter into the Dies Fortunae tournament must have the following to do so.
- The favour of someone they are fighting for.
- Some form of banner to fly (Note: though we hope for as many heraldric banners as possible any form of "flying item" will suffice for this requirement).
*Armour Inspection*: 10am
*Invocation*: The hard suit tournament will begin with an invocation of the day at 11am. This invocation will involve each competitor introducing the gentle who has inspired them to take the field in order to test their favour with the Fortunes. Each fighter, after giving their introduction, will have their seed drawn by the Oracles of Fortune.
*Tournament Seeding*: As mentioned above, all tournament seeds are drawn by the Oracles of Fortune. These seeds will determine the position that a combatant competes at throughout the day on the tournament tree. The tournament will be double elimination.
*Tournament Weapon Style*: This tournament has no weapon style restrictions other than what are dis-allowed by the current conventions of combat within the Kingdom of Atenveldt. It has been said that heroes know what weapon style to bring to the field in their own hearts.
Flora Tourney -- Rapier Combattants
Though the Dies Fortunae Tournament is restricted to hard-suit fighters, Mistress Sely Bloxam has agreed to bring the very popular Flower Tournament to the field for any Rapier fighters that might wish to take part in honourable combat throughout the day. This tournament will begin at the first pause in rounds during Dies Fortunae and will continue between each round until the Finals of Dies Fortunae.

text: Good stuff, actually learned something about beer. It's nice to know more about beer. But you gotta know, I'm pretty conservative, kind of a benevolent redneck. So oriented, it was easy to detect underlying 'redneck' inclinations in spite of organic attempts to mask said inclinations: "slow food, conscious people and artisanal beer." Obviously large amounts of hoop cheese, consumed by "people" downing liters of fancy beer to do something about the "conscious" descriptor. My kind of folks. It's good that the owners are encouraging "human-powered arrival." Whoever delivers their kegs should consider also, that encouragement. The owners are refreshingly honest about their fare (although my only real interest is their beer). "We're trying to offer, when possible, a flavorful dish ..." said they. Will they inform clientle as to the day's "Possible" and "Not Possible" flavor quotient? Amanda is fun to read, a "triple" threat. Witty. whimsical, most importantly, she's smart. (Hmmm ... did he say "triple"?) But then, I'm a tad prejudiced (not, however, in the "redneck" sense). The next time I'm in CS, I'll make it a point to drive --I don't believe in walking-- to your brewery and engage in some beer jamming. I'll bring the little woman, she can drive me home. Good Luck! Oh...one other thing. Consider revising your bottom line. If you put "profit" first, you will probably be around long enough to do good stuff for "people" and the "planet." You seem like the kind of people who can handle profit without the pollution. Remember, "green is good." Money is not the "root of all evil," it's the "love of money" that's cancerous. According to the Trinity. Aloha, Ron W.

I had a customer service represenative contact me awhile ago, she scheduled a ride-along with a tech from one of the dealers I went to. Tech didn't notice any of the problems as "serious", and that my brake squeaking sound was from "water being boiled off of the rotors. Once all the waters gone it'll stop. I promise." That's verbatum by the way, that answer just didn't make any sense to me so I wrote it down. I'm happy to email you all of the notes I have from this whole process too at your request. Sorry, side note. Eventually my problems got escallated to the GM executive office department. They gave me a really nice package that gave me free maitance for a year, which I love and greatly appreciate. Downside to all that is that my rep there didn't help fix my problems, just told me to come back when they were more serious. In all honesty Pete, I don't want to cause trouble. I just want what is essentially a brand new SS not to have problems that my 98 wrangler would have. If I have to follow up on lemon law and get a lawyer then I will, I just don't want to things to come to that. Thanks again for all the help.
Ah, now I remember. Thanks for jogging my brain. There are some really good people at GM who are trying to make sure that every customer is as happy as possible. I am glad that they at least extended you a nice package. I will do some more checking and see if anything else can be done. Go ahead and send me your notes to my email and we will see what happens from there.
EDIT: Stieger, did you see this:
? I don't see anything in the
TSB search
, but you may want to PM the OP in that thread and see where the dealer got that info.

AfriGeneas Free Persons of Color Forum
Re: The Crokers of NC
In Response To: The Crokers of NC ()
I am searching for information on William Croker, free colored of Orange County NC. His youngest son, John Nelson Croker was bound out in 1847 to Solomon Allen, a doctor in Orange later Alamance County. John Nelson married a free woman of color from Chatham County upper regiment, Sarah Lineberry. Sarah's mother was Caty Lineberry. Sarah also had siblings named Caty and Harrison. John Nelson had two siblings that I am aware of: Tempy Croker Archey (she married Larkin Archey of Chatham County) and William Croaker (he married Cornelia (Niely) Archey of Chatham County). Information on any of the above named individuals would be greatly appreciated.
This is what I have...
Sarah "Sally" LIMEBERRY/LINEBERRY/LINABERRY (possible parents, James & Anna LIMEBERRY)(living next door in 1850 Chatham County, North Carolina census) married Zachariah ARCHEY, son of John and Rebecca MNU ARCHEY (needs further verification), 12-25-1843 in Guilford County, North Carolina. They had at least ten (10) children namely; Larkin H. ARCHEY, John F. ARCHEY, Luvina ARCHEY, James M. ARCHEY, Malacha ARCHEY, Albert F. ARCHEY, Cyntha A. ARCHEY, Sarah S. ARCHEY, Zachariah ARCHEY Jr., and William Eldridge ARCHEY.
Tempy/Tampa MNU married Larkin ARCHEY, also a son of John and Rebecca MNU ARCHEY (needs further verification). Larkin and Tampa had at least one child, William ARCHEY.
William F. CROKER married Cornelia Ann "Nelly" ARCHEY, daughter of John and Rebecca MNU ARCHEY, 12-20-1851, in Chatham County, North Carolina, by Solomon STEWART. William and Nelly had six (6) children namely; LucyAnn Elizabeth CROKER SAIN/SAINE/SANE, John Wesley CROKER, Larkin Henderson CROKER, Simeon H. CROKER, James W. CROKER, and Albert Francis CROKER. William F. CROKER served in the Civil War; Company A, 45th USCT. He died in Camp Casey, Virginia 01-02-1865. Nelly later married William T. GAINES, 10-19-1880, in Wayne County, Indiana.
Sarah and Zachariah, Tempa and Larkin, and William and Nelly, and a John CROKER I can't place, all moved to the Greenville Settlement in Darke County, Ohio/Randolph County, Indiana.
I don't know where William CROKER and his son John Nelson CROKER fit, in the above scenario. This is obviously a different but still connected Sarah LINEBERRY??? I do have a John CROKER, born about 1836 in North Carolina that seems to match up with "your" John Nelson CROKER. However, I have his spouse as a Lucelia MNU and children as Reuben CROKER, James CROKER, and Mary CROKER. I have not been able to take this John CROKER past 1860. I don't know where this John belongs but he is on the same generation level as William F. CROKER and Tempa CROKER ARCHEY and is living along with William and Tempa in the Greenville Settlement (not in the same household).

mumma boo: do the List like a charity fundraiser. Canvass your neighborhood for donations to the "get me laser eye surgery" fund.

along: thanks :}

swirl girl: I have indeed been a dashboard troller, and that's a great way to find random blogs. With the List, though, I was pretty sure I was going to come across a bunch of people who shared my sense of humour.

loralee: OMG, you zapped? I could never let a blog post go unread....no, I lie. Sometimes I'm just too damned tired, ya know?

madwomanmeg: I hate it when life gets in the way of blogging.

jo: You won't need much spare time :}

nicole: you're welcome

mp: I really liked your review of Iron Man, and I tried to go see it. My daughter had other ideas though.

andrea: now I'll have to!

amber: thanks!

theneatos: you keep the arabian quotes coming.

bretcb: hooray! I knew my child-neglect would pay off!

sandi: there is no way we can be friends now. I can't be friends with a fan of a team that has never won a Stanley Cup. That's right. You guys didn't win the Cup in 1999. Hull was in the crease, the refs and the league blew the call and stole the Cup. It's no different than someone actually stealing the Cup and driving off with it. Morrow is going to get concussed by Kronwall.

Enfocus Upgrades Product Line for Adobe Acrobat 8
Plus: Technology partners announced new plug-ins for PitStop Automate.
Enfocus has announced that it is readying Adobe Acrobat 8-compatible versions of its product line that will include new functionalities. These new features will include a new Navigator, which allows users to more easily identify and interactively correct errors reported in preflight; another new feature: Place PDF, which simplifies building a page from multiple PDFs.
Release of Adobe Acrobat 8-compatible versions of all PitStop-based products, including PitStop Professional, PitStop Server, and PitStop Automate, is anticipated within 90 days of Adobe"?s Acrobat release date (Adobe announced Acrobat 8 in mid-September). Free upgrades will be available to current customers, depending on their time of purchase.
In other Enfocus news, various company technology partners have announced plug-ins for PitStop Automate, Enfocus"?s Certified PDF automated preflight and editing solution:
"? Alwan Color Expertise announced its CMYK Optimizer plug-in, which can create PDF files that are not only fully checked, preflighted, and certified, but also compliant with chosen color and print standards specifications, ready for proof and print.
"? ICS announced its Remote Director virtual proofing plug-in. The Remote Director plug-in allows creative professionals to generate color-controlled, collaborative virtual proofs without leaving the PitStop Automate software environment. All those involved in the approval cycle can be invited to view the proofs, and are assigned permissions to comment, annotate, and confirm signoff.
"? PerfectProof"?s ProofMaster v3 now offers a fully integrated plug-in. This software suite for color-accurate digital proofing, printing, and cutting already includes Certified PDF functionality for those not using PitStop Automate.
"? Ultimate Technologies has integrated a new Hot Folder interface into its Impostrip On-Demand Digital product that goes directly to Enfocus Automate. Production designers can take the files they create all the way through print, whether on a Mac or Windows platform.

The edition that is out now is newer than the one we used a few years back, but I thought it was a pretty decent, quick, helpful read.
Remember, you are going to ride some great coasters, so that should be your focus. The non-coaster rides (other than a few newer, extreme midway rides like the maXair ride mentioned by Jake in his post) are pretty much the same midway rides found at most amusement parks. Build your touring plan around the coasters and hit the other rides when you can.
Jake, Derek, Ben, Steve, those guys are Cedar Point gurus, though, so they should be able to tell you anything you need to know!
Have fun and don't forget to put out a trip report when you get back!
There are very few bad rides at Cedar Point. Most of the coasters are worth a ride. The best ones have already been spoken for, my choice picks are Millennium Force, Dragster, Maverick, and Raptor. Lines are long during the weekends, so if you are going on Sat/Sun, be there when the park opens and go to these rides.
As far as food goes, I have two words...Famous Daves. It's right by the marina. Eat there.
2.Top Thrill Dragster
3.Millennium Force
4.Sky Hawk
6.Magnum Xl 200
7.Wicked Twister
8.Mean Streak
11.Iron Dragon
Devil's Spit BBQ sauce.....yum......
You get to enter the park an hour earlier and that in and of itself is reason to stay in someplace like the Breakers Express. Caution: there is not a wireless internet service in the rooms and you will have to go to the lobby to log-on.
While some of the rides may be fun they are not for a large fellow. I was over 250# last year and had trouble strapping in on some of the rides (a couple of them were no-rides because I used to lift weights in college and post-college).
It nearly ruined my trip.
We were able to catch Maverick on opening day - it was worth the wait and the ride!
Eat at Chic-Fil-A and get water. It is the best priced food in the park.
Last thing to note is that their is a pizza restaurant about 10 minutes from the park called Chet & Matts that is by far the best pizza I have ever had in my life and is very reasonably priced. Enjoy your stay and you will not be dissapointed.
