What was your impression of the other tribe? Jonathan: We from the Favorites had no idea what the hell was going on. We couldnt figure out why they were voting the way they were voting, what the dynamic was, who was running the show there, and it seems like nobody was. They were at a tremendous disadvantage because we had this years worth of experience between the ten of us. So we hit the beach and had fire within a day. Yau-Man used his glasses. I wasnt there, and I came back and there was fire going. It was incredible we found a cave! We built two shelters before we found the cave. Blah, blah. So we were rested, we were fed, whereas they werent. And it sounds like from what Chets saying that two hours on the beach, they were saying, Okay, youre the old folks. One of you is going first. You decide which one its going to be. This is not how you win the game of Survivor. They may be fans, but we would literally come back to our beach and say, Fans of what? They watched three episodes and they called themselves fans? Anyone who had really watched the show would not have conducted themselves that way, I believe. Chet: I agree. I was on that tribe and I didnt know what the hell was going on. They never bothered to find out anything about any one of us what our abilities were, what our negativities were. They just decided right away who was going to go. I think they were so caught up into Survivor and in their mind Survivor was only who was getting voted out. Not who was going to live and stay on. We won the flint in the first day, but we never had fire because they wore the flint down to the point where there was no flint left. (Jonathan laughing) We still didnt have a fire. It took them four days to build a floor to the shelter. They didnt realize a floor will keep you dry a floor goes underneath you. So Tracy, Kathy and I built the shelter, which they turned into, We pulled ourselves from the tribe. Jonathan: Tell them what you were telling me about the machete and the water and the insanity that was going on over there. Chet: They would sometimes hide the machete so people couldnt use it. Certain people were like the machete police if they didnt see it in their vision all the time they wondered who had the machete. The water Tracy, Kathy or I would get it together or go separately because we had to get away from that group sometimes. It wasnt necessarily Joel or any one group. Natalie and Alexis were not involved in that whatsoever. They may have been with their alliances but they werent the ones who were openly doing it. Jason, Mikey B, Joel to an extent. People were afraid of Joel. For Gods sakes, look at him! (Jonathan laughing) Whatever he said, people thought that was the way it had to go. But if people had just opened up their minds, and watched what was going on. Its like when I coach my pageant girls, I say you can tell who wins the pageant if you sit back and watch the pageant. You can tell whos going to win. And they would not sit back and watch the game.
Despite talk of blindsiding Ozzy at that nights tribal council, Chet said that it never would have happened as his fate had already been sealed. It was a done deal, he admitted. I wouldve been pulled off by the medical team because of the infection in my foot. I couldve gone through with everyone and hope that they were trying to vote out Ozzy but I didnt want to just disappear from the game. Im one of the few Survivors in history who can say, The tribal council that I got voted out was probably one of the most beautiful days of my life.Jonathan may have had to leave the game early due to reasons beyond his control but he is still proud of the way that he played. His best strategic move, in his mind, was winning as many challenges as I did. I was part of eight winning challenges and that helped solidify my position as a leader and a strong player on my tribe. His parting words with BuddyTV were for the readers not to count the fans out just yet. Its a long game, he said.
Reality TV World: What was going through your mind when you met with Dr. Jessica Sartini following the Reward Challenge? Jonathan: Well I've got to tell you what happened because it didn't get on camera. She unwrapped my leg -- which she had wrapped two days before -- and puss just poured out of my leg. Reality TV World: Geez... Jonathan: She just said, "Nope. That's it. You're done." Reality TV World: So there was no scenario where you might have been able to remain in the game at that point? Jonathan: No. I certainly fought them on it until she just said -- and this is what they did show on camera -- I said, "Look, I'm not quitting the game. I don't want to leave the game." She said, "Jonathan, you are going to go to the hospital. You can either go on your own two legs now, or you can wait about 12 to 24 hours and this will go into your bloodstream -- it will be sepsis -- and we will take you out of here on a stretcher because that's the only way you're going to be able to get out of here. Then you will really be in serious, serious trouble." That was the deciding factor. Reality TV World: What happened once you were evacuated? Did you immediately go to the hospital? How long did your recovery take? Jonathan: I was immediately taken to the hospital, operated on the next day. I was put on IV antibiotics for a week. Then I was operated on again later. The whole thing took about... Oh gosh I don't know. Probably 20, 21 days. Then I came home and I've been under a doctor's care since then. My leg is feeling better.

Some of you may have seen this piece in The Chronicle by Rachel Wagner, discussing her struggles as a single mom from an impoverished rural community trying to make it in academia.
To put it mildly, it stuck a chord with me. Enough to get me to un-mothball the blogge and post something, obviously. Her experience is mine. She discusses how financial troubles are one of those things you just don't speak of in academia, and describes how things as basic as finding money to go on an interview can be humiliating:
Here's what happens when you are living close to the financial edge as a single parent in academe: You need to attend an academic conference to interview for a job, as your current position is a one-year temporary position for someone on sabbatical. So you have to buy a plane ticket. Sure, you'll be reimbursed from the college's travel allowance for about 80 percent of the trip. But how will you buy that plane ticket in the first place, in order to be reimbursed a month or two later? Credit card? I'm afraid not. That was closed out last year because you couldn't pay for it while you worked as an adjunct for $15,000 a year.
Well, ask your parents for a loan. Weren't you listening? OK then, ask a colleague to help you. I could, but that violates all standards of friendship, especially the one where you aren't supposed to tell anyone affiliated with your job that you don't have enough money to go on an interview. And your nonacademic friends? They don't have any money, either. So why not ask the college for an advance? Because it doesn't give advances. And you have just violated the unspoken standard that stipulates you should never reveal your financial struggle if you are in academe.
This is all too familiar. To interview for my current position, I was offered travel expenses--but like the author, to be reimbursed at a later date. After college (where I worked 3 part-time jobs just to pay for books, rent, and food), grad school (raising Progeny and trying to pay student loans with almost all of my salary going toward daycare), and my post-doc (more income for me, but also more daycare, and I had to quit my part-time waitressing gig), the bare minimum of credit cards that I carried were close to maxed out. No way could I pay for a $400+ flight, so I drove instead (~$150 worth of gas for the round-trip drive in my hideously teal 1995 Dodge Neon).
Professorship made it better, right? Ah, but with that came divorce, single-parenthood, and a crushing amount of legal bills.
Yes, these are all due to my choices. I recognize that and am not asking for sympathy, or pity, or whatever. Thing is, life happens. Like the author, I come from a community where it was not weird at all to get married and have a child in my early 20s, no matter what my career trajectory. Hell, many in my graduating class already have children of their own graduating from high school, and one who graduated a year ahead of me is a grandma to a one-year-old at age 36. This is my normal. It's a different world in the Ivory Tower. A fellow graduate student (who also had a child) confided in me once that a professor had told him that "students who have children aren't serious about their studies. Might as well quit now." I've had other student-parents tell similar stories. It is a difficult road, but not insurmountable--and any bit of support helps.
As Dr. Wagner mentions, it's also difficult to discuss all of these issues in academia, especially pre-tenure, when your senior colleagues are also your judges and jury. Colleagues seem to assume you're on equal footing financially, perhaps forgetting that they're married to a surgeon and I (was) married to a blue-collar worker, and now am a single parent. The fact that I attended a pricey private college further serves to disguise my lower socioeconomic status, both currently and by upbringing--they only know the name on my diploma, not the fact that I worked my way through there waitressing, working in the dining halls, and calling alumni for donations (yes, I was that person, sorry--it paid $12/hour and allowed me to work evenings). They don't know that my dad worked third shift in a factory and my mom couldn't work, or that I started driving myself to extra-curriculars in my uncle's old beater on the rural backroads at age 14 just so I could participate in music and athletics. It's as if that background should just have evaporated now that I'm Professor Montague, replaced via the Pricey Degree University diploma with a person of a more privileged pedigree.
But it doesn't go away. My parents weren't university professors, doctors, lawyers, businessmen. I didn't really even comprehend academia as a career until after I started my PhD program. Yes, I knew I wanted to do research, but I didn't yet understand all that it entailed. I couldn't even tell you which was a higher rank--assistant or associate professor. The horrors! Ah, the depths of my ignorance and naïveté.
In any case, I realize that academia is not the only area where many of us from rural/impoverished backgrounds feel out of place, despite years of training and the trials of "bootstrapping." But to be good mentors and colleagues, it's important to keep these things in mind. So no, I can't attend your pricey golf outings. I can't go along on your extra side-trips at conferences to explore the wineries. And yes, I realize that you will likely "talk shop" on these outings and then leave me out afterwards, and I will think you're an asshole. So mentors, please don't assume that students, postdocs, or even junior faculty have the means to simply pay for interviews, conferences, even social lab meals. If there are ways to have things paid in advance, or supported by the department in some way, help them do so. If you will be discussing work on outings where they can't attend, don't be a dick and exclude them just because they don't have the financial means to tag along. Or, don't assume they don't want to attend and are uninterested--they may just be too humiliated to admit that they're broke. Just as you wouldn't discriminate against someone due to race, gender, sexual orientation, etc., don't let economics be a segregating factor either, as much as you can help it.

AIDING FUTURE TERRORISTS: While it appears immigration reform isn't going anywhere fast in Congress, our country still needs to slow down and scrutinize closely the projected impact that such reform may have. That analysis must consider the weaknesses inherent in our current immigration policies. Exactly how widespread is our practice of allowing immigration by folks like the Tsarnaevs who spawned the Boston Marathon terrorists, people whose primary contribution to America was collecting welfare and food stamps? Do we need such immigrants? Surely there were many far more talented and hardworking immigrants who were turned away so people like the Tsarnaevs could enter the U.S. Of course, immigration authorities had no idea some of the Tsarnaev family would learn to hate America while eagerly accepting the bountiful benefits our taxpayers bestowed on them. Follow-up monitoring of the family's activities and terrorist leanings was notoriously and inexplicably absent. One thing any immigration reform bill must contain is an improved policy that ensures those granted entry will not have to rely on the public dole. Providing immigrants such public assistance gives some the leisure to become radicalized and the time to build bombs. The vast majority of immigrants are hardworking, law-abiding people, but let's make sure that our immigration policies don't put us in the position of inadvertently aiding future terrorists.
LIBERALS TAKING SECOND LOOK AT OPEN DOORS? "Radical Islam provides fragile male egos a class of inferiors to feel superior to. That would be women." Froma Harrop, a syndicated columnist for the Providence Journal, hit the nail on the head when she described why Tamerlan Tsarnaev, the dead Boston Marathon bomber, like many other male Muslim immigrants, couldn't assimilate into the American culture and, instead, turned to radical Islam for an ego boost. Harrop continued, "It is not America's duty to give such troubled individuals talk therapy and a pile of Lexapro. It is to keep them out of a country that they can't fit in." Though Harrop is usually pretty far to the left, in this case she is spot on.
A SURE SIGN TAVERAS IS RUNNING FOR GOVERNOR: Providence Mayor Angel Taveras presented his budget proposal for next fiscal year to the City Council last week. He proposes to keep at current levels the tax rates for commercial property but wants to hike residential property rates by 6 percent. This seems to be a clear signal that Taveras plans to run for governor in 2014. If he intends to run for reelection to the mayor's position, he would not be ramming a hefty tax increase down the throats of Providence residents who constitute the voting bloc that would reelect him. However, if he intends to run for governor, it makes sense that he is protecting businesses from a tax increase to show that he would be, in his words, "an economic growth and job creation" governor. Yes, he is busily establishing himself as a statewide candidate. Unfortunately, his tax increase on homes shows he is willing to abandon the Providence voters who elected him to his current office.
A CHILLING EFFECT ON PUBLIC SERVICE: It seems serving as an elected public official is becoming very costly, especially if you were elected by the citizens of Central Falls. Three members of the Central Falls City Council who used their elected positions to resist state-imposed financial receivership, have been billed over $50,000 each to pay for the cost of legal services and arbitration that resulted from their council votes. We should all be outraged about this! The citizens of Central Falls elected these council members to act on their behalf; to vote their consciences on issues affecting their city. That's exactly what they did. They voted to resist receivership; and when the state imposed it anyway, they took the matter to court. That's what they were supposed to do; protect the citizens' financial interests as best they knew how. And now the state wants to bill them for doing what they were elected to do - represent the citizens of Central Falls. This is wrong on so many levels!
Elected officials sometimes make stupid decisions and vote for unpopular positions. Does that make them liable for the costs that result from their votes? If that were the case, no one would ever run for public office. Should the legislators who voted to approve the program that guaranteed the now-defaulted $75 million loan to 38 Studios have to repay the money to taxpayers or bondholders? Should the U.S. representatives and senators who voted for the Iraq War have to personally repay the country for the war's cost to taxpayers?
Requiring elected officials to shoulder financial responsibility for their good-faith votes will have a chilling effect on our democracy. Only the super-rich who can afford such potential liability will be able to run for office. And, once penalizing elected officials for their votes becomes commonplace, the next logical step would be to imprison them for such votes. Starting to sound like a banana republic or a totalitarian state yet?
Penalizing elected officials for their votes should remain the sole province of the voters. We can penalize them by throwing them out of office at the next election if we think their votes were stupid and costly to taxpayers. Penalizing them is our job, not the job of state officials.
DEMOCRACY OVERRIDE IN COVENTRY: Our state legislature is contemplating overriding the votes of Coventry residents who overwhelmingly rejected the Central Coventry Fire District's proposed 64 percent tax rate increase. Voters rejected an increase from $182 to $299 per thousand dollars of property value. Now, a bill passed by the House that is headed for the Senate would force Coventry taxpayers to suffer an increase from $182 to $286 per thousand - virtually the same rate increase voters rejected by a three to one margin. This is totally wrong! The voters have spoken through the democratic process. Politicians should not be allowed to override the ballot Yes, central Coventry needs fire and ambulance protection. However, the voters have told the fire district that it must find a way to function in a more streamlined way to keep its expenses within acceptable limits. The bill passed by the House must be amended in the Senate to reflect the voters' mandate while still allowing the fire district to continue temporary operations until district and municipal leaders can cobble together a replacement fire protection plan. Keeping tax collections at the previously approved rate of $182 per thousand dollars of property value would be an acceptable approach. It would honor the voters' rejection of the tax increase while giving the district enough money to continue operations at a reduced level until the end of the fiscal year, by which time a permanent plan should be in place - a plan that should include privatizing ambulance service and reducing the number of fire personnel.
QUOTE OF THE WEEK: "I really think I'm going to be able to live my life in a normal way." That statement by Boston Marathon bombing survivor Heather Abbott of Newport, whose leg was amputated last week, reflects two things. First and most noteworthy is the tremendously positive attitude and strength of character Heather displays as she confronts what many would find totally devastating. Secondly, the fact that she foresees a life of normalcy with a prosthetic leg is a tribute to advances in limb-replacement technology that have resulted from the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. While war is perhaps mankind's most despicable invention, at least some of the results are salutary. Heather's attitude not only sets a perfect example of how all of us should approach severe personal setbacks, it delivers a message to terrorists everywhere - you can't defeat us, no matter what you do. Rhode Island is very proud of you, Heather!

Its bad what is happening atm, but in saying that its not our worst bushfires, Bushfires seem to happen here on a annual basis whether it be act of Nature or from some Bigot that can't control is Firelust. We have had worse fires in the past. It's amazing to see how people pull together in time of hardship. But it also amazes me the amount of low lives that take advantage of home that has been fled and loot them.
Hopefully the Family's that have lost their homes to this Disaster had Insurance. It's always disheartening seeing a family that has nothing left. But as I said some of the most amazing things happen in the times of hardship.
I was in work Detail from the Government when we had our Recent floods a year or so ago. Made me happy seeing everyone helping in anyway they could.

Australian Bush fire is normal. The local Flora evolved around them. Really, we worry only if a flaming tornado develops and burn whole towns down. Until then, a bushfire is just as natural as rain.

The heat has been crazy... was at a wedding the other day in Newcastle, weather was forecast at 23C to 35C, actually temp, 46C... standing in blazing sun with wind that felt like it was out of a furnace on a headland overlooking a beach in a suit, was two seconds away from ripping my gear off and jumping off the cliff into the ocean.

Nearly 1,300 people marched quietly through Hood River Monday in one of the largest demonstrations ever in Hood River County.
"We are here. There are many of us. Make legal the illegals," said Rafael Vasquez, a Mexican national who is himself an "illegal."
Taking on the very term "illegals" was one thrust of the May Day march to protest immigration law reform and to call for normalization of residency and work status rights for illegal residents around the country. Hood River's march joined hundreds of other demonstrations of its kind around the country.
"No human being is illegal," read Melissa Trejo's T-shirt.
Marching with his wife and children, Mario Barragan of Hood River, said, "We are the manifestation of the problem that we have to be classified as illegals. Everyone has been an illegal one time or another."
They were among the front portion of a nine-block throng of people — young and old, Hispanic and Anglo — who quietly filed from La Clinica on Pacific Street on the Heights downtown to Overlook Memorial Park.
The march caused no problems other than some traffic congestion at 12th and May streets, according to Capt. Kevin Lynch of Hood River Police Department.
"I have a lot of family that are illegals. I am here for them," said Chris Ponce of Hood River, a naturalized U.S. citizen.
Asked what effect the march would have, Ponce said, "They're hearing us. They're seeing us. We are getting the attention we need at this time."
Antonia Gonzalez, a Mt. Hood Community College student, said, "I'm here to fight against the injustice that people need to know is going on. We are here to work, not to take jobs away."
Daniel Ward, director of La Clinica Del Cariño Family Health Care Center, said about half of the clinic's 97 employees arranged in advance to participate in the parade.
"Because of our mission to serve the community, we stayed open and had staff here to take care of people," Ward said.
Ward said he was moved by the parade, and having it at 4 p.m. was a good idea so no children had to miss school to participate.
"It was inspiring, peaceful, powerful and a wonderful opportunity for people to get to know each other, too," he said.
About 20 members of the Columbia Gorge Fellowship For Peace helped to keep the parade peaceful and organized along its way. Fellowship member Mark England said other than some minor traffic backups, the parade went smoothly and people stayed in good humor.
"Our local migrant population is a pretty invisible group of people, and to see everyone out in public and not hiding was very powerful," England said. "I enjoyed it and was inspired by it."
There were no reports of large walkouts from workplaces, though the Hood River County School District reported that 1,139 students were absent Monday — about 29 percent of the total school population.
A typical daily absentee rate is six percent, according to superintendent Pat Evenson-Brady.
About one-third of Hood River Valley High School — 465 students — were absent Monday, and absentees totaling around 30 percent of enrollment were reported at Parkdale and Pine Grove schools, which have large concentrations of Hispanic families. The other elementary schools and the two middle schools had absentees totaling between 10 and 20 percent; in Cascade Locks it was less than 10 percent.
Some of the high school absences may fall into the "explained but unexcused" category used by the school.
"We know we have parents who were fearful of sending their students to school (Monday) out of fear they would be snatched up, or that they themselves would be snatched up and their children would have no one to come home to," said Evenson-Brady, referring to reports that Immigrations and Customs Enforcement officers are in the area, taking away people classified as illegal residents. "We know they are fearful of this because they have told us," Evenson-Brady said.
Students missing en masse complicates instruction, according to the superintendent.
"It makes it tough," she said. "You know if anything is being taught in those schools the reality is you are going to have to re-teach it and the students who were there will already have heard it," she said.

With the last few days of autumn ahead, it was about time I got down to sharing this seasonal specialty. It's wonderful and warming and just like taking your first bite of spiced pumpkin bread after the first chilly day in October, especially when shaken with a bit of maple syrup over apple cider.
Plus, it's so easy, it's practically infused cheating.
The details on Pumpkin tea spiced whiskey follow…..
Pumpkin Tea Spiced Whiskey, the breakdown:
- Just less than 1 bottle of whiskey (or ya'know, bourbon)
- 6 pumpkin spice tea bags > I used Zhena's Pumpkin Spice Gypsy Tea, picked up from New Seasons
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- 1 vanilla bean, scored
- optional: whole nutmeg, whole cardamon seeds
Pour everything into a large bottle or jar. You can easily use the actual whiskey bottle, just make sure someone drinks a bit first – or put aside to add into a sauce or marinade before you get started. Let sit one week, shaking occasionally. There is no real need to strain the final product. It will simply become even more flavorful as time goes on.
Incorporate into your favorite seasonal cocktails and hot toddies. For me, that begins with the F*ck yeah, it's fall!
Tah dah.
Soon to come – creating some type of salted caramel apple pie cocktail. Right?!

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. – Zach Etheredge, who played in the Chicago White Sox system and has worked as an assistant coach for the Cape Cod League's Cotuit Kettleers, has joined the UC Santa Barbara baseball team staff as a volunteer assistant coach.
Etheredge was a two-time team All-Southland Conference pick as a catcher at the University of Texas San Antonio and was twice named the team's team captain. In his junior and senior years Etheredge helped lead UTSA to Southland Conference titles. After graduating in 2008 he signed a contract with the White Sox organization.
"He's been a team leader everywhere he's been and Zach is really well thought of and respected," UCSB head coach Andrew Checketts said. "He will really help us from a catching standpoint. He's an experienced catcher who played in pro ball. He is a terrific motivator and leader."
Etheredge has served as a head coach in the Texas Fury summer league organization and has been an instructor at UTSA's summer camps. As a junior at UTSA he hit .313 with a .359 on-base percentage, nine home runs and 45 RBI. He also played in the Cape Cod League with the Yarmouth-Dennis Red Sox. Etheredge left UTSA ranked among the top 10 on the school's career charts in at-bats (third), doubles (fifth), games started (sixth), RBIs (sixth) and home runs (ninth).
"I'm very excited to have this opportunity to go to the West Coast and learn everything I can and better myself as a coach," Etheredge said. "I feel blessed to have this opportunity and learn from this coaching staff."

1870 US Census
1870 United States Census
The 1870 United States census was the ninth census in the United States and is the third census to include and name all persons living in each household. The official enumeration day was June 1, 1870. Unfortunately, as in the 1850 and 1860 census, the census questionnaire did not indicate the relationships between each member of the household. There could therefore be brothers and sisters-in-law, nephews, nieces, etc., living with the families that would not be readily identifiable.
Images used in these transcriptions were originally copied from National Archives and Records Administration microfilm, number M593, RG29 (1761 rolls). 1870 images and index were provided by Ancestry.com.
Items included on the 1870 census form included the following: name, age as of the last birthday, sex, color, birthplace, occupations of those over 15, real estate value, value of personal estate, and whether the father and mother were foreign born. Dwellings and families were numbered in the order of visitation and included the name of every person that was living with the family.
The 1870 census included a total of 4433 Titus and possibly related family names. Images of Minnesota family numbers 5 and 8 contained in the index could not be found.

Pissing on the floor. I work in a professional office building brimming with lawyers, doctors, and assorted corporate types. I find it hard to believe somebody clearly still can't hit the head. The puddle of piss under the far urinal in the 6th floor men's room is now a common biohazard, and totally unnecessary. Are we shooting for distance rather than accuracy now? Step closer to the toilet, watch your aim, use both hands if it'll help, and by all means clean up after yourself. You're a big boy now.

2009 Manning Award Watch List Additions
NEW ORLEANS (Oct. 22, 2009) – The Manning Award, sponsored by the Allstate Sugar Bowl, announced 10 additions to its 2009 Watch List on Thursday. The winner will be announced after the bowls in January and will be honored at a February banquet in New Orleans.
The Manning Award was created by the Allstate Sugar Bowl in honor of the college football accomplishments of Archie, Peyton and Eli Manning. It is the only quarterback award that takes into consideration the candidates' bowl performances.
After announcing 38 quarterbacks to watch during the preseason, the Manning Award opted to increase its focus players based on the many outstanding performances during the first half of the year. While these players have been added to the Watch List, every quarterback in the nation remains eligible to win the honor.
"There have been many young quarterbacks as well as some veterans who have really stepped up this year," said Archie Manning. "We have decided to add 10 players who have really stood out, both individually and through team success. But I want to stress that every quarterback in the country remains eligible to win the Manning Award. We still have half of the season to go and we all know that the second half is where most stars truly make their mark."
Ten finalists will be determined by a selected panel of national media covering college football, as well as each of the Mannings. That list will be released on Monday, Nov. 30. The winner will be announced on Thursday, Jan. 14.
The first five winners of the Manning Award reads like a Who's Who list at the quarterback position. USC's Matt Leinart was the inaugural winner of the award in 2005, followed by Texas' Vince Young in 2006. Both went on to be top 10 NFL draft picks. In 2007, LSU's JaMarcus Russell earned the award and was the NFL's No. 1 draft pick. Boston College's Matt Ryan claimed the award in 2008 and was drafted No. 3, quickly becoming the starting quarterback for the Atlanta Falcons. Last season's winner was Florida's Tim Tebow, who is making his bid to become the first two-time winner of the honor this year.

China and US establish dialogue between armies
BEIJING (AP) — China and the United States moved Friday to establish regular dialogue between their armies as part of efforts to build trust and understanding amid rising regional tensions.
Relations between the two militaries, which have progressed by fits and starts, are now "headed in the right direction," visiting U.S. Army Chief of Staff Gen. Raymond Odierno said.
"I have a very positive opinion on our future relationship as we develop the army dialogue," Odierno told the People's Liberation Army's Chief of the General Staff Gen. Fang Fenghui at a meeting at the Defense Ministry in western Beijing.
"I believe these discussions are important to continue our dialogue. We have many common objectives," Odierno said.
Fang and other Chinese generals with whom Odierno met said a consensus had been reached on holding regular meetings and boosting cooperation between the U.S. and Chinese land forces on topics such as peacekeeping and educational exchanges.
Fang said China agreed with Odierno's suggestion that relations between the two armies should advance on the principles of engagement, sharing and balance.
"I think that is quite a constructive idea," Fang said.
If successful, the army-to-army engagement could prove a boon to American officers who have long attempted to draw the People's Liberation Army out of its traditional culture of secrecy and mistrust of the U.S. military.
Though no details were given, the sides had also said they planned to discuss regional security matters, a nod to bitter disputes between China and two U.S. allies — Japan and the Philippines — over territorial claims in the East and South China seas that have raised alarms over the possibility of armed conflict.
The director of intelligence for the U.S. Pacific Fleet, Capt. James Fanell, said last week that Chinese war games held last year were engineered to ready forces to snatch away the uninhabited islands from Japan, a move that almost certainly would trigger an American military response.
China also sparked U.S. concerns late last year when it unexpectedly announced an air defense zone encompassing a large swath of the East China Sea, including islands controlled by Japan but claimed by Beijing.
Washington has refused to recognize the zone or follow China's demands that its aircraft file flight plans with Beijing's Defense Ministry and heed Chinese instructions. China has warned of unspecified retaliatory measures against aircraft that do not comply, but has so far taken no action.
Odierno's visit began hours before a scheduled meeting later Friday in Washington between President Barack Obama and the Dalai Lama that drew a strong protest from China. Beijing accuses the exiled Tibetan Buddhist leader of being a separatist agitator and opposes any meetings between him and foreign leaders.
Despite tensions between them, the two militaries have pushed ahead with limited steps to reduce longstanding mistrust. They have held simulations aimed at cooperating in humanitarian relief operations, and China's navy later this year is to take part in multinational naval exercises off Hawaii.
Earlier Friday, Odierno, the former commander of U.S. forces in Iraq, was welcomed with full military honors, visited the headquarters of the Beijing Military Region and held a dialogue with scholars and students at prestigious Peking University.
Odierno will travel north on Saturday to tour the headquarters of China's Shenyang Military Region.

Black Magick
Posted 17 April 2004 - 10:17 PM
I've conversed with quite a number of people who have practiced what is typically known as 'black magick' and, to be honest, it's not all that it's been hyped up to be. It doesn't necessarily suggest cursing people and Black Mass and so forth and so on. The practice of a darker brand of magick is just that... darker. Sometimes, especially in the modern Pagan community, we've fluff-bunnied the traditions. Everything is bright and happy and carefree. Even the holiday of Samhain is sometimes taken with a light heart, when it should be a time of respectful remorse.
Of course, I prefer the term Gothic Paganism, but what is your take on Black Magick?
Posted 18 April 2004 - 09:21 AM
I think perhaps that modern Pagans are forgetting the balance. As a Pagan following a Celtic Path (as best as one can, given the way what little information has come down to us...), I understand this darker side. In Morrigan is one perfect example. She's a much darker Goddess than say, my own Matron Diety, Brighid (although Brighid has her own darkness as well...). But I respect her (you'd be a fool not too!). She embodies War, among other things, in several of her aspects, and yet also can be percieved as Fertility as well.
I think the Fluffy Bunny aspect of much of modern Wiccan and Neo-Paganism stems from an attempt to steer away from such backlash and stigma as say, Satanism and the perceptions that found solid root during the Burning Times.
I do an occassional glimpse into 'Black Magic', but do not yet have what I feel to be a firm understanding of it. But I see no reason why we should turn our backs on the darker aspects of our various Paths. It's all about balance and respect.

As for the fluffy bunny approach to the more darker aspects of paganism, I do agree wtih ana. There are certain times that a somber tone is needed in order to show respect...although I won't rule out any opportunities to get free candy! ;D

Plus, I had hardships LONG before I ever began doing spells of a darker nature. If I'm going to have hardships, at least I can occasionally make something happen for myself, others be damned, and say "So there!" lol.
Posted 22 April 2004 - 10:42 AM
When I think of magic that's just plain bad, I think of working magic that will cause serious harm to an enemy. That's where I myself draw the line if I can help it. But doing things selfishly (as in...bringing energy/luck/love/money....whatever) to myself then I'll do it.

Buying a smartphone without a contract can be expensive, but it's nothing compared to the cost of the Vertu Signature Touch. This alligator leather-encased phone will set you back $22,000.
Continue Reading Below
If $22,000 is too expensive, skip the alligator and Vertu will charge just $10,000 for plain leather.
The company says the phone's sapphire crystal screen and "seamless titanium-chamfered rails" create a "crisp, yet warm feel," which make the phone so valuable.
Launched earlier this month, the Vertu Signature Touch runs on the Android (NASDAQ:GOOG) operating system. "Envisioned as an unmistakable statement piece, each Signature Touch is a powerful expression of our uncompromising standards," the company touts on its website.
The Signature Touch has a 4.7-inch screen and a 13-megapixel camera. It has 64GB of memory and a 2.3 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor.
British manufacturer Vertu has been designing phones since 1998. The company was owned by Nokia before it was sold to private equity group EQT VI in 2012.

Steve4000 needed a new web page design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 64 designs submitted by 24 freelance designers.
Design home page and one inside page for a new health and fitness website. Design only, no coding. We are looking for a modern, clean design and are open to imaginative ideas. The site will use a logo created from a recent 99designs logo contest.
This is a design contest for a home page and one inside page for a new fitness, diet and health web site. Layered PSD file to be delivered, no coding.
The key focus of the site is in creating a community where people can support each other and get help and ideas for exercise, diet and healthy living with an emphasis on long term support, rather than quick fixes. The design should reflect a friendly, supportive group environment. It is not an aggressive 'pump the abs' type fitness site or a quick fix "drop 20lbs in 3 days" diet site. There is a slightly stronger leaning towards a female audience, but not exclusively female.
As a general style think curves and not straight lines, complementary colours and not contrasting, clean clear space and not too cluttered. However we are open to imaginitive ideas.
We have recently had a logo designed through 99designs and this should be used as the basis of the colour scheme for the site.
Logo is available here in a variety of formats:
We have also created a simple mock up for the site. This is intended to highlight key elements and is not a design that you have to follow:
Within this mock up we have:
Logo and top banner. On the home page the banner (assuming you choose to have one) should have an interesting design, but for the inside pages it will normally be replaced by a 768x90 leaderboard advert.
Main menu (shown in the mock up as tabs). The tab headings are not what we will be using so please just use dummy text for now. The number of main menu items will expand over time so allow some space for expansion. We will also have a javascript flyout sub menu for each menu item on the coded site.
Main area has two parts. In green there is a BMI calculator with some text about it and results displayed using AJAX.
In lilac there are three areas for some introduction / welcome text, a list of recent articles and a small tabbed area for recent comments, blogs etc.
At the very bottom there is an area for including general links, discliamers etc.
This is intended to give an idea of the content rather than dictate design.
Page width should be fixed and optimised for 1024 screen.
For the inside page there will be a sub menu list, probably along the left side and space for a 160x600 advert along the right side.

The Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra was one of 19 American orchestras to be honored with a 2012-13 ASCAP Award for Adventurous Programming at the League of American Orchestras 68th National Conference in St. Louis. The BPO was selected for the Adventurous Programming of Contemporary Music award because it featured works of such contemporary composers as Michael Daugherty, Christos Papageorgiou and Giya Kancheli in its 2012-13 season, and because it presented two world premiere pieces: the Triple Trombone Concerto by Eric Ewazen and the Flute Concerto by Geoffrey Gordon. Both composers were on hand for the world premieres to speak to audiences about their works.
The BPO won this award previously for its 2010-11 season.
The LAO and ASCAP present the awards each year to orchestras of all sizes for programs that challenge the audience, build the repertoire, and increase interest in music of this time. Approximately $725,000 has been bestowed on orchestras since the awards were established in 1947.
"The Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra has had a deep, longstanding commitment to new music, and it's a commitment that the musicians and I share," said music director JoAnn Falletta. "It's a great joy to showcase modern composers and to help audiences understand that classical music is a living art form that continues to evolve. We're honored that this commitment has received national recognition."

In a former emergency bunker four floors under the City Hall annex, traffic engineer Cynthia Leong sat at a "Star Trek"-esque console, peering into her computer.
Above her, closed-circuit TV screens flashed video of silhouetted figures driving and walking through intersections: Alpine and Broadway, Flower and Jefferson, Figueroa and Marmion. To her right, another engineer studied a red and green colored graph showing congestion building up and then dissipating again.
Leong was in charge of the command post for a $410-million project to remotely control the city's stoplights — all 4,398 of them.
Every second electronic sensors in the ground record traffic speeds and congestion at each of the city's intersections, then alert a computer, which adjusts how long the green lights should last to drain the streets of traffic with maximum efficiency.

Mayor Bloomberg and Borough President Markowitz Break Ground on Restoration of Historic Loew's Kings Theatre in Flatbush
Largest Indoor Theater in Brooklyn – Vacant Since 1977 – Will Be a Centerpiece of Revitalized Flatbush; Final Agreement Included Host of Partners Including Goldman Sachs
ACE Theatrical Begins Construction Now, Theatre Expected to Open in Beginning of 2015
Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg and Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz today broke ground on the restoration of the historic Loew's Kings Theatre in Flatbush, Brooklyn. Originally constructed in 1929, the 3,200-seat Loew's Kings Theatre is the largest indoor theater in Brooklyn. Its design was heavily influenced by the Palace of Versailles and Paris Opera House, and features ornate architectural details in the French Renaissance Style. In 1977, the theatre closed and has remained vacant since, suffering decades of neglect and deterioration. Today's announcement represents the culmination of the City's efforts to revitalize the theatre. Following preliminary work untaken by ACE Theatrical over the last three years, New York City has executed a 55-year lease with the Kings Theatre Redevelopment Corporation – a consortium of ACE Theatrical, Goldman Sachs and the National Development Council – to begin the full redevelopment and rehabilitation of the theatre. The project was financed through funding from the City, Marty Markowitz, the Goldman Sachs Urban Investment Group and United Fund Advisors. The Mayor was joined at today's announcement by Borough President Markowitz, New York City Economic Development Corporation President Seth W. Pinsky and Council Member Mathieu Eugene. Renderings are available at www.flickr.com/nycmayorsoffice.
"Once the largest and grandest indoor venue in Brooklyn, Loew's Kings Theatre was a major attraction for hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers and countless visitors," said Mayor Bloomberg. "Soon it will be again. This massive restoration project will be great for the Flatbush community, for Brooklyn's booming cultural scene, for local artists and cultural groups, and for New York City."
"Under Mayor Bloomberg's leadership, Brooklyn has become a magnet for private investment and job creation, particularly investments centered around arts and culture," said Deputy Mayor Robert K. Steel. "The groundbreaking of the Loew's Kings Theatre is the latest example both of confidence in Brooklyn's future and of the leading role cultural institutions can play in economic development."
"Bravo to the entire 'cast of actors' who have made this possible, especially Mayor Bloomberg, EDC President Seth Pinsky and the entire EDC team, Councilman Eugene and ACE Theatrical," said Borough President Markowitz. "Restoring the glory of the Loew's Kings Theatre into a combination of the Beacon and the Apollo all rolled into one has long been a dream of mine and the Flatbush community—and now it is time for the theater's triumphant 'encore.' Not only will the new facility be the largest indoor theater in the borough—hosting everything from concerts and plays to special events and graduation ceremonies—it will be an engine of economic growth along Flatbush Avenue and for all of Central Brooklyn. The Loew's Kings Theatre will play a leading role in the arts' next great act, right here on Brooklyn's big stage."
"Thanks in part to the federal New Market Tax Credits we fought so hard to preserve, the glory of the palatial theatres of days gone by will make a roaring return with the refurbishment of the Loew's Kings Theatre, right here in the heart of Brooklyn on Flatbush Avenue," said U.S. Senator Charles E. Schumer. "This glorious theatre will give Central Brooklyn the grand stage it needs and deserves; I am grateful for the hard work of Mayor Bloomberg, NYC Economic Development Corporation, Borough President Marty Markowitz and Councilmember Mathieu Eugene for their continued efforts in refurbishing the theater and I will continue to fight for federal support to create jobs, spur growth and bring back the grandeur of old Brooklyn."
"For too long, Loew's Theatre has sat vacant, but today, we've cleared the final hurdle for this historic project that will restore the site to its former glory," said New York City Economic Development Corporation President Pinsky. "By clearing the way for construction to begin, this agreement will help bring a brand new cultural center in the center of Brooklyn, helping to revitalize this bustling neighborhood and create jobs. I want to thank Mayor Bloomberg, Borough President Markowitz, ACE Theatrical and all our other partners in government and the private sector for their hard work and generous support of the project."
"Loew's is an incredible example of the extensive impact that public private partnerships can have on neighborhoods like Flatbush," said Alicia Glen, Managing Director and head of the Urban Investment Group at Goldman Sachs. "We are excited to have collaborated with such strong public and private partners to bring this much anticipated restoration to fruition. Especially in the aftermath of the recession, Loew's is an important model for economic development projects that not only create hundreds of jobs, but also bring important entertainment amenities that both residents and new visitors to the community can enjoy."
"The restoration of the former Loew's Kings Theatre will allow citizens of Brooklyn, and the entire region, to once again experience the splendor of this magnificent entertainment palace," said President and CEO of ACE Theatrical David Anderson. The project will accomplish three important goals: it will rescue and restore an important architectural masterpiece for future generations to enjoy; it will create jobs and re-energize neighborhoods; and it will provide a broad range of entertainment programming, serving the vibrant and diverse communities which comprise Brooklyn. It is truly a rare and exciting opportunity, and ACE is grateful for the chance to be a part of the team which has made it possible."
"The Loew's Kings Theatre is a great example of the private and public sectors working together in order to serve the common good," said Councilman Mathieu Eugene. "This theatre is part of Brooklyn history and will continue to be part of its future as a great social and cultural institution that uplifts, and unites the community."
"It is with great pride that I was able to allocate capital funding for this historic arts space," said State Senator Kevin Parker. "I am thrilled that the rehabilitation and restoration of the former Loews King Theater is finally complete. This project created hundreds of construction jobs for individuals who were unemployed and it is projected to create over 50 permanent positions right here in Flatbush."
Originally designed by the renowned firm of Rapp & Rapp, Loew's Kings Theatre, located at 1027 Flatbush Avenue, opened in 1929 as one of Loew's five Wonder Theatres. Its French Renaissance style architecture was inspired by the Palace of Versailles and the Paris Opera House and features high, curved ceilings, ornate plaster walls, wood paneling, pink marble, and a glazed terra-cotta ornamental façade – elements that once made it a classic, early 20th century movie palace.
Vacant since 1977, the theater has fallen into substantial disrepair. Since the City acquired the property in 1983, the City has repaired the roof and worked to repair the structure. In order to revitalize the space, NYCEDC, in cooperation with Brooklyn Borough President Markowitz, issued a Request for Proposals in 2008 for a developer to lead the full rehabilitation and operate the venue going forward. ACE Theatrical Group, LLC of Houston, Texas, was selected in 2009 due to their specialization in historic restoration and theater operation. ACE's many projects include the Boston Opera House, the Chicago Theatre and the Warner Theatre in Washington, DC. ACE works with local organizations to include them in theater activities, and works across all entertainment genres that will serve all aspects of the community.
Over the last year, the Bloomberg Administration and Borough President Markowitz have worked to finalize the terms of the project to allow full construction to begin. The agreement announced today enables construction on the project to begin this month. The $93.9 million project is estimated to create more than 500 construction jobs and 50 permanent jobs. In addition, each performance will create additional temporary jobs for theatrical freelancers. As part of the project, the theatre will be expanded from its original approximately 68,000 square-foot space to approximately 93,000 square feet to enable it to be used as a live performance venue, with a suitable backstage area not originally part of the movie theatre. Once renovations are complete in late 2014 the theatre is expected to host between 200 and 250 performances a year.
The rehabilitation and restoration of the former Loew's Kings Theatre marks the rebirth of a marvelous historic arts space. The Theatre will serve as both a cultural hub and catalyst for economic growth along Flatbush Avenue and throughout Central Brooklyn. The project includes investments from partners in both the public and private sector, including contributions from New York City, Borough President Markowitz, Goldman Sachs through equity and debt financing, Council Member Eugene, and State Senator Kevin Parker. This project is only the latest in a series of City projects meant to revitalize the booming arts scene Brooklyn. The City is currently in the process of developing the Downtown Brooklyn Cultural District, groundbreaking development plan that will invest more than $100 million in new facilities for the arts, create public space, and provide much-needed affordable housing. Anchored by the world famous Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM), the district will include new performance and rehearsal space, as well as office space for a diverse group of local arts organizations.
"The rehabilitation and restoration of the former Loew's King Theatre marks the renaissance of a marvelous historic space dedicated to arts and culture in Brooklyn," said Robert W. Davenport, President of the nonprofit National Development Council. "The Theatre will serve as both a cultural hub and catalyst for economic growth along Flatbush Avenue and throughout Central Brooklyn. National Development Council is honored to be partnering with the City of New York, the Office of the Mayor, the Borough of Brooklyn and the Brooklyn Borough President's Office, NYEDC and ACE Theatrical in its rebirth."
"At UFA, our goal is to provide financing for projects and businesses that dramatically improve the social and economic landscape in hard hit communities, said Cam Turner, Principal at UFA partners. We are proud to add Loew's King Theater to our portfolio of mission driven investments. The financial and cultural importance of the theater cannot be understated. We are also honored to have partnered with New York Economic Development Corporation over the past five years. The theater is our 16th collaborative New Market Tax Credit investment."
"We recognize the importance of this project to the community, the EDC and to the revitalization of Brooklyn," said Bill Gilbane III, vice president of Gilbane, the construction manager undertaking the project. "We are proud to be part of this historic project which will enrich the community and provide a state-of-the-art performing arts venue for all to enjoy."

Cisco IOS Voice Troubleshooting and Monitoring -- Frame Relay Troubleshooting Tasks
From DocWiki
To troubleshoot and resolve Voice over Frame Relay configuration issues, perform the following tasks:
- If no calls are going through, ensure that the frame-relay voice bandwidth command is configured.
- If VoFR is configured on a PVC and there are problems with data connectivity on that PVC, ensure that the frame-relay fragment command has been configured.
- If data is not being transmitted but fragmentation is configured, ensure that Frame Relay traffic shaping is turned on.
- If the problem is with the dial plan or the dial peers, use the show dial-plan number command with the argument dial string to display which dial peers are being used when a specific number is called.
- If there are problems connecting an FRF.11 trunk call, ensure that the session protocol command in dial peer configuration is set to frf11-trunk.
- If FRF.11 trunk calls on the Cisco 2600 or Cisco 3600 series routers are being configured, verify that the called-number vofr command in dial peer configuration is configured and that its number matches the destination pattern of the corresponding POTS dial peer.
- Ensure that the voice port is set to no shutdown.
- Ensure that the serial port or the T1/E1 controller is set to no shutdown.
- Toggle the voice port by first entering shutdown and then no shutdown every time the connection trunk or no connection trunk command is entered.
Check the validity of the Voice over Frame Relay configuration by performing the following tasks:
- Enter the show frame-relay pvc command to show the status of the PVCs.
- Enter the show frame-relay vofr command with the arguments interface, dlci, cid to show statistics and information on the open subchannels.
- Enter the show frame-relay fragment command with the arguments interface number and dlci to show the Frame Relay fragmentation configuration.
- Enter the show traffic-shape queue command to display the traffic-shaping information if Frame Relay traffic shaping is configured. The queue option displays the queueing statistics. For more information about traffic shaping, refer to Frame Relay Traffic Shaping for VoIP and VoFR, document 14073.
