It's only a short distance from the tough streets of Harlem to the front row of a New York fashion week runway show, but it's a journey that very few rappers have made. A$AP Rocky, however, managed it even before the recent release of his No.1 debut album, Long.Live.A$AP. And his appearance at last month's Paris fashion week, dressed in clothes by British designer Shaun Samson, reinforced the impression that he has come a long way from a childhood that inspired the line on his album's title track, "I thought I'd probably die in prison".
On meeting A$AP it quickly becomes obvious that if any young rapper is going to transcend hip-hop's cultural ghetto it's him, despite the fact that the 24-year-old admitted to dealing drugs in the past. Lots of MCs enjoy enough success to make the leap, but few have the vision to grasp the opportunity. Yet the way A$AP explains it, it sounds deceptively simple: "I realised that the streets were my reality, and I wanted to make another home, so I started doing positive things. Some people have it in them to get out, and some people are content to stay in the hood. You'd be kind of stupid to get stuck in a bad predicament your whole life, but I feel blessed because I know where I came from and everything I've been through."
Because they can't say that I suck, they can't say that I'm not handsome, and they can't say that my lyrics are wack, they say that I'm gay because they don't have anything on me
That "everything" includes two family tragedies. The first was the death of his older brother, Ricky, "Killed about 10 years ago", according to A$AP. "He was a gang-banger, a Blood [member], and he got killed. I wanted to be like him but when he died on the streets I realised that the streets are not the place I wanted to make home," he remembers. His older brother didn't just inspire A$AP to escape the block; he gave him the tools to do so by introducing him to rap music. "My brother was a hip-hop fan, and when I was eight he made me rap for the first time - he was beating on the table to make a beat, I started rapping and he encouraged me to keep doing it."
Much more recently A$AP also lost his father. "My Dad passed at Christmas," he explains. "I'm just getting over it. I stayed in the house but I couldn't cry because I was so hurt. He caught pneumonia on a Friday and died on the Sunday, so it was unexpected, but at least he got to see me do this." His father was also a rap fan: A$AP's real name is Mr Rakim Mayers, his Christian name inspired by the 1980s rapper behind Paid in Full and "Eric B. is President".
Central to A$AP's success is that his take on rap music is Pan-American. Since it first emerged from the parks of New York's Bronx, hip-hop has always been rabidly territorial. In the 1980s rappers from the five New York boroughs battled over the culture's geographical origins, while in the 1990s a rivalry between the US east and west coasts cost the lives of rappers Biggie Smalls and Mr Tupac Shakur. A$AP is different, in that his taste, and his sound, cover the gamut of hip-hop culture. When asked about his influences he mentions Southern rappers Geto Boys and Three 6 Mafia, Midwesterners Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, LA's Dr Dre, and New York's Ruff Ryders label. No wonder his breakthrough song, "Purple Swag", with its woozy production, is so hard to geographically pin down. This could be the result of the way that the internet enables people to abandon tribal loyalties and take a pick-and-mix approach to music, or, as The New York Times recently suggested in a story about A$AP's friend and collaborator, A$AP Yams, the result of a rather considered approach to marketing. I'd tend towards the former given A$AP Rocky's ease with the once-heretical idea of a New York rapper enjoying music from the west coast and the "Dirty South". "I don't know if it was wrong [to enjoy music from all over America]," he says, "but I can say that my brother used to do it, so I adopted it."
His taste in clothes is also unusual given his profession. On the track "Peso", which he released in August 2011, A$AP declares that it's "Raf Simons, Rick Owens, usually what I'm dressed in". The line immediately suggests a sophisticated taste in style, something he reveals goes back to 2005. "At the age of eight I started getting into fashion, brands such as Tommy Hilfiger, Nautica and Ralph Lauren," he remembers. "But in 2005 I started wearing John Richmond jeans. I was into Prada and Dolce & Gabbana at the time and that's why I started to wear tight jeans, because I wanted to be a model. I started to do freelance work for Calvin Klein so I was slim and it just stuck."
I'm not your average rapper. For us to be thugs and admire high fashion is kind of odd, but people like it
A$AP arrives at the MR PORTER shoot wearing clothes by Jil Sander, Balenciaga and Junya Watanabe, but, again breaking the rap mould, says he has no plans to set up his own fashion brand. "I don't want to. It would be disrespectful to take my stardom and bully my way into the fashion industry, because I didn't go to [fashion] school to learn about design, sketching and fabrics. I just enjoy it; I'm a consumer." Given the macho nature of the hip-hop world I obliquely ask if A$AP's interest in fashion, and the cut of his jeans, have ever led people to call his masculinity into question. He responds bluntly: "People say I'm gay sometimes, but I have a lot of bitches so why would I care? It doesn't bother me at all. You know why they say that? Because they can't say that I suck, they can't say that I'm not handsome, and they can't say that my lyrics are wack, so they say that I'm gay because they don't have anything on me."
Another way A$AP sets himself apart is by eschewing the bling aesthetic. He admits to owning a nice watch, but that's it. "I have a Rolex, but no diamonds. Rappers wear diamonds to compensate for a lack of fashion sense. I don't even have pierced ears - I'm not into that, it's too much." No less extraordinary is his taste in cars. "I don't like new cars, I'm into vintage cars - there's a Jaguar E-Type in the 'Goldie' video." He believes his taste is part of the appeal of his crew, the A$AP Mob. "I'm not your average rapper. For us to be thugs and admire high fashion is kind of odd, but people like it."

Follow Friday: Two posts that will change the way you think about your research
There were two blog posts that particularly struck a cord with me this week. I believe these two articles can make you re-think the way you approach your genealogical research.
"Learning from genealogical failure" by Michael Hait
This discusses a reasonably exhaustive genealogical search and evaluating conflicting evidence. Michael provides a very useful example to clarify his discussion showing how the birth of an ancestor was actually in one state when all the other evidence pointed to another. He then moves on to the topic of the importance of recording negative searches. This article will give you new ideas and encourage you to continue working on your difficult searches.
"Ellis Island Oral Histories- How I learned Something New!" by Heather Rojo
This post also explores the depth one should research without explicitly talking about reasonably exhaustive research. Heather talks about how she thought that the Ellis Island Oral History database had nothing to offer her because she didn't find anything directly related to her ancestors. Then a blog post from another writer got her thinking differently. By changing her approach she found a wealth of information about her ancestors that she never knew before.
These two articles will change the way you approach your research and may help you work through some challenging obstacles just by asking you to think differently.

Marian, thanks so much for mentioning my post and I'm so glad you enjoyed reading it. I really owe all my thanks to Leah Allen for helping me to see the benefit of looking at the other immigrant's stories. Isn't it fun how much we learn from reading each other's blog posts?ReplyDelete
Heather - your post proves just how much we can learn from each other.ReplyDelete
Marian, I was lucky enough to hear Michael speak at a Family Research Conference recently.ReplyDelete

Lawmakers, Local Officials Discuss Sandy Aftermath
New Jersey shore towns hard-hit by Superstorm Sandy want extra financial help from the state as they struggle with rebuilding costs and property values.
The state Senate Budget Committee invited mayors and emergency management officials to testify Monday in Toms River about their storm-recovery needs. The hearing is the first of several that will focus on helping residents recover.
Democrats who lead the Legislature have pledged bipartisan cooperation with Republican Gov. Chris Christie on storm-related issues. The superstorm is expected to financially strain hard-hit towns due to lost tax revenue.
Toms River municipal administrator Paul Shives says his town needs three to five years of extra state aid to help it rebuild from the storm, which may have wiped a third of the township's property value off the books.
Shore officials invited to attend include:
- Mayor Thomas Kelaher, Toms River
- Mayor Stephen Acropolis, Brick Township
- Mayor Dennis Vaccaro, Moonachie
- Mayor Matt Doherty, Belmar
- Mayor Paul Smith, Union Beach
- Colonel Joseph R. Fuentes, Superintendent, New Jersey State Police
- Lt. Colonel Jerome Hatfield - Deputy Superintendent, Office of Emergency Management
- Chief Michael Mastronardy, Toms River Police
- Carl Block, Ocean County Administrator
- John Bartlett, Ocean County Deputy Freeholder Director
- Walter Kierce, Jersey City Director of Emergency Management and Homeland Security
- Matthew S. Clark, Monmouth County Tax Administrator

Spied at PAX East and spec'd out in May, Gears of War: The Board Game may not have a release date but there is mounting evidence that, against all odds, this is actually a thing.
This four-minute trailer, from maker Fantasy Flight Games, gives a detailed rundown of how players' attributes are handled, how the maps are arranged, and how combat unfolds. It appears you may choose from several mission cards, configure and stock your map, and then get on with the shooting and the chainsawing. Custom dice handle the attacks and defences, and cards lay out what your characters carry and can do. There's even an overkill attack mechanic.
Fantasy Flight does not yet have a release date for Gears of War: The Board Game other than "later this year". C'mon, just ship the damn thing, you can handle any bugs with a patch post-release.

Chuck Clark describes Davon Grayson as "my dude" and "best friend." But if the pair line up across from one another in Saturday's Virginia Tech-East Carolina football game, a five-year bond will be temporarily sidelined.
Clark is a reserve free safety for the Hokies, Grayson a starting receiver for the Pirates. Both are true freshmen from Suffolk's King's Fork High School.
"If it happens, I don't think either one of us will save it against each other," Clark said Wednesday. "Even if it's one play, whether it be a run play or a pass play. … I think we'll be going for each other's head … as long as we're in the game. And then after the game we're back cool. But for that play or that series or however much it is, we'll be going for each other's head."
Clark and Grayson first met in the eighth grade, when Grayson moved to Suffolk from Virginia Beach and the two began tossing a football together.
"Words probably couldn't explain our relationship," Clark said. "Through high school we were always with each other, always joking, laughing. We had good times, bad times together like typical best friends. We know each other's families. … Everything. It just worked."
With four touchdown receptions in two games, Grayson has been a revelation for ECU — here's my Daily Press column on him. Clark expected to redshirt this season, but he's become a special teams starter, and during the fourth quarter of last week's rout of Western Carolina, he played some at free safety.
Shortly before reporting to Tech for summer school, Clark had surgery to resolve a kidney injury he sustained during a 7-on-7 session at York High School in June 2012. He still played for King's Fork last season as he and Grayson led the Bulldogs to a 7-4 record and first-ever playoff appearance.
Clark recovered quickly from the July surgery and won a spot on punt coverage for the Hokies' opener against No. 1 Alabama.
"Every time I went out there, I tried to make a play, and I did for the most part," said Clark, named Tech's special teams player of the week against the Crimson Tide. "Just didn't let the excitement of the game overwhelm me."
Playing this season "was a big change for me," Clark added. "(But) nobody really wants to redshirt. You come in from high school, playing all the time, you're the guy. …
"In high school you can remember the whole playbook Week 1. Here it's a lot different. You have to keep up with a lot more stuff."
King's Fork coach Joe Jones, a Tech tight end in the mid-1980s, attended the Western Carolina game and saw that Clark has been added to the kickoff coverage and punt return teams. He's made six tackles in two games.
"We're proud of each other," Clark said. "Like we say every time we text each other or have time to talk … 'Let's keep grinding and meet at the top. That's basically what we're trying to do."
Jones has no doubt both will get there. In fact, he told ECU coach Ruffin McNeill and Tech's Frank Beamer that Grayson and Clark would become captains before graduating.
"They're like sons to me," Jones said. "They're great young men. Handled themselves professionally, and always have, even in school. They were both honor students. …
"There were times we'd come in during the spring and open the weight room at 6 a.m., and they'd already be working out on the track before I got here. It was dark, and I didn't know how they were seeing what they were doing. …
"I get caught up talking about these two guys. They were kind of the face of King's Fork football the last few years and last year having our best season. … They brought the level of their teammates up so much. As you can tell, I won't shut up about it until you hang up on me."
Jones and several King's Fork players are traveling to Greenville for Saturday's noon game, and although he "bleeds maroon and orange," Jones will be torn as he cheers for Clark and Grayson.
To mark the occasion, Jones had King's Fork Bulldogs T-shirts made with Clark's No. 19 and Grayson's No. 85. The design includes a football that's half-purple, half-maroon.

OSWEGO – The Retired and Senior Volunteer Program, a division of SUNY Oswego's Office of Business and Community Relations, will hold a volunteer orientation for retired or semi-retired adults at 10 a.m. Jan. 22, at the Oswego Public Library community room.
RSVP staff members Ellen Wahl and Tracie Wallace will conduct the orientation, along with guest speaker Jessica Galvin, the library's technology instructor.
The Oswego Public Library is one of more than 100 agencies and programs with whom RSVP partners to bring needed services and enhance quality of life for Oswego County residents. The purpose of RSVP is to encourage older Americans and nonprofit agencies to mutually benefit from the experience of retirees.
Anyone who is retired or considering retirement and wonders, "What is there to do?" or feel that they want to give back may find this session beneficial, organizers said.
In addition to recruiting, placing and supporting volunteers, RSVP offers Mature Living, a bimonthly newsletter with information that is national and local in scope and interest to older Americans.
To sign up for this orientation session or to receive Mature Living, call the RSVP office at 312-2317 or email [email protected]
RSVP has been serving Oswego County since 1973.
In those nearly 40 years, the program has been at the cutting edge of the productive-aging movement, launching programs that answer critical needs and help strengthen Oswego County.
Those include Tax Aide, 6 Steps to Better Balance and Osteo Bone Builders, to name a few. By remaining responsive to emerging trends and using volunteers as a resource, RSVP seeks to cost effectively make a difference.
Nationally, RSVP, now part of a nationwide network of Senior Corps programs, is sponsored by the Corporation for National and Community Service.
Each of the 700-plus programs in the United States is sponsored by a nonprofit agency; in Oswego County, RSVP is sponsored by SUNY Oswego and the United Way.

The stunning, icy landscapes and charismatic wildlife of the Arctic region have captured the imaginations of humans for centuries. The word 'Arctic' comes from the Greek word for bear, 'arctos', and it is named after the Great Bear (Ursa Major) and Little Bear (Ursa Minor) constellations that appear in the Arctic sky all year round. (1).
The Arctic is not a country or continent, but rather a region at the extreme north of the planet. Roughly, it includes the Arctic Ocean (the world's smallest ocean) and the surrounding seas, as well as the world's...

King Arthur Pain de Mie
I didn't get around to baking anything this weekend, but, fortunately, as a state employee I get President's Day off. Pondering what bread to bake next, I was looking through more whole grain breads when I said to myself, Hmmph. I want white bread. So I made really white bread. Not only does it have white flour, but it also has potato flour and milk and powdered milk. All manner of white things.
You can call this sandwich bread if you want. But you can also call it pain de mie , which sounds ever so much better and more hoity-toity than white sandwich bread. The recipe is from King Arthur's website, and I chose it because I had some potato flour that I've had for a while and is probably getting to the point where I should either use it up or throw it out. Before I started baking bread, I thought flour lasted forever, so I would have had no qualms about using 20-year old flour (not, I hasten to add, that the potato flour is anywhere close to that), but now I wouldn't dream of doing such a thing.
I had to do quite a bit of searching to find my old pain de mie pan. I got the pan used on eBay.com during the period that I was buying a lot of baking equipment. I remember balking at the purchase of a new pain de mie pan. They're quite expensive, and I figured that I'd never use it again, so I could only bring myself to spend a few dollars, plus shipping. I fell in love with it when it arrived--it's heavy and tall and looks very French.
This is an easy bread to mix up, except that my friend June put a curse on me. We went out for dinner on Saturday--June and I, and our husbands too--and at some point June asked me if the bread I made with the dough hook turned out grainier than the dough I kneaded by hand. I looked at her as if I didn't know what she was talking about (because I didn't), and said I had never noticed such a thing. And, I said, it doesn't make sense because the dough hook kneads more thoroughly than you can knead by hand. But this dough turned out to have little lumps in it. Because that's never happened before, I can only think that it's June's fault, and that she must have put a hex on me or my dough hook. At first I thought there were only a few little lumps, and I tried to carefully pick them out by hand, but then I saw that there were many. If I don't blame June, I blame the potato flour for forming what looked like little mashed potato lumps.
I love baking in this lidded loaf pan! The top presses down on the bread while it's baking, so it turns out almost square. I think that the idea is that the crumb becomes more compressed this way, which is why it's called pain de mie, which means bread of crumb, more or less. I grew up thinking it was called a Pullman loaf, which is not as French or romantic. I could look up why it's called that (because it was served on a Pullman car?), but I think I'll leave that for another time.
I was feeling a little insecure about this bread, because of the lumps and all, so I decided to make up for the lumps by taking its temperature so at least the bread's lumps would be the proper temperature.
The trouble with sticking the thermometer in the middle of the bread is that it leaves a hole. I don't like the idea of a hole in the middle of the bread, which is why I don't usually do it, and it turned out to be 190 degrees on the first testing, so it was a letdown anyway.
For a plain white loaf, this is seriously good bread. The little potato-y lumps that I was so concerned about disappeared in the baking, leaving nothing in their wake but a fine, delicate crumb. I didn't make sandwiches, but it's clear that this bread would be perfect for sandwiches, and even better for grilled sandwiches. It will probably make excellent toast, a hypothesis which I will test tomorrow morning. And yet...I have to admit that this plain white bread, good as it is, just doesn't have the complexity of the whole wheat bread which I've been dissing. The lesson seems to be--enjoy the bread you're eating now.

I thought these loaves were called Pullman loaves, too...
Aha! The hippie bread is starting to grow on you! Soon you'll be eating bread made from ground-up sprouted seeds and grains like me. I'll see you on the commune.
- Melinda said...
Isn't pain de mie the bread used by the French for Croque Monsieur? I believe I had that fact from Richard Bertinet.
That is so strange that you should have a post using potato flour. I just bought some yesterday. It is not a common flour here at all. I want to make something from RLB's book. I still have to round up the vital wheat gluten, for it yet. That must have been the recipe you got the potato flour for, way back when!
I bought a pain de mie pan ages ago and haven't used it. I was planning to use a a recipe of Peter
Reinhart's. Now I have two to choose from. It might take me another year to get round to making it still! I had to special order that pan too. I am very bad!
Poor June. I am sure she will toss and turn about hexing your bread.
- Doughadear said...
This is a bread I have not tried yet and mostly because I don't have the pain de mei pan which I am resisting to buy because I am running out of space for all the bread baking gadgetry. I do not have a small kitchen yet I always seem to need more space. Your bread looks great as usual and the square shape would make perfect tea sandwiches.
- Jane Moxey said...
Thanks for sharing your bread baking adventures! I am so enjoying reading your blog. I've just got bitten by the no knead bread business. I have found the Cooks Illustrated version of the NY Times recipe which adds beer and vinegar to all the other ingredients. I actually used my KitchenAid with its dough hook for the first time yesterday and now am digging in recipe books for MORE bread to bake. I am waiting for a bread stone to arrive so I can start in on the recipes in the "Artisan Bread in 5 Minutes a Day" book. Your pain de mie looks so good! I have a batch of the Whole Wheat Sandwich Loaf dough rising from the Cooks Illustrated recipe which is well demonstrated on the Breadutopia website with videos to give me even more confidence! I am enjoying building my bread baking "batterie de cuisine." Your pan for the pain de mie is smashing!

I went through my hippie phase in the 60's--I hope I don't have to go back. Although....there's a wonderful song by The Bobs with the lyrics, "First I was a hippie, then I was a stockbroker, now I am a hippie again." So who knows? Maybe I'll start wearing granny dresses to work.
I had to order the potato flour from King Arthur--just a wee bag. I think I got the vital wheat gluten there too. Didn't you say once that they don't ship to your part of the world?
I'm sure that it's the bread used for a Croque Monsieur--if not, it should be. You should use your potato flour to make this bread! You'll still have plenty left for Rose's recipe, and you'll be able to stop feeling guilty about never using your pan.
You are exactly right about the tea sandwiches! I didn't think of that, but this bread would make lovely cucumber or smoked salmon or egg sandwiches. I know what you mean about the paraphernalia--I have to give myself a little talking to whenever the King Arthur catalogue arrives because there's always something that I must have, and then it turns out that I can do without it.
Thanks for writing. It sounds like you're really having fun, which is really the whole purpose behind baking bread--along with having delicious bread to eat, of course. I haven't checked out the Breadutopia videos, but I will now.
- Goody said...
We always called it a Pullman loaf too. Now you've inspired me to dig out the pan and bake a loaf. I wonder how raisins would work with this bread? I have potato flour that is somewhat vintage, though not in decades.
- pinknest said...
omg i love your lidded loaf pan!! i have always wanted one, but determined that i wouldn't use it enough. i still want it! your bread looks so pretty.
- jini said...
marie, you are giving me bread pan lust. you have a pan for every different loaf. jealousy is unattractive i know, but darn.
the bread looks yummy, and even though it's white, extremely unwonderbreadly. :)
- breadbasketcase said...
I finally had to look up "Pullman loaf." According to wikipedia, there are two theories of origin: 1) that the bread looked like a Pullman railroad car or 2) that it was used on the railroad dining cars because its shape made it easily stackable, hence taking up less space. I guess I go for #1.
The pan is vintage and very delightful. Every block or apartment building should have one pain de vie pan to share.
I bought all my equipment pre-Recession, when it was still cool to acquire things. You can borrow it any time.
- jini said...
wow.....that's awfully cool of you marie! thanks!
I stopped reading you blog because you never posted recipes. Glad to see you changed your mind. I can see the the traffic to your blog has dramatically increased.

Church charities in Pakistan stepped up their efforts Aug. 12 to distribute vitally needed relief supplies to some of the millions of people affected by the worst flood in the South Asian nation's history. The response gained momentum as Pope Benedict XVI expressed his condolences in a telegram to Archbishop Lawrence Saldanha of Lahore, head of the Pakistan bishops' conference. "The Holy Father commends the deceased to the Almighty" and "prays for all involved in providing assistance to the victims," the pope said in his message.
Cooking equipment, hygiene kits and bedding were being delivered Aug. 11 to severely hit areas, but workers said devastating conditions were hampering the efforts of relief workers. "Access to a lot of the affected areas is still impossible, and it's hard to organize distribution amid the panic," said John Joseph of Caritas Islamabad-Rawalpindi.
He spoke in the compound of Holy Name Church in Nowshehra, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, where distribution began after prayers and blessings from Father Amir Yaqub, the parish priest.
Caritas Internationalis, the Vatican-based umbrella agency for national Catholic charities, launched an appeal Aug. 12 asking member agencies for $5.5 million to fund Catholic relief efforts in Pakistan over the next three months. "The situation grows increasingly desperate," the appeal said, adding that more than 1,600 people had died and about 14 million people were directly affected by the flooding.
"Raging floodwaters have washed away homes, bridges, schools, water systems and medical facilities" in five provinces, said the Caritas Internationalis appeal.
The U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs launched an appeal Aug. 11 for $460 million to meet the humanitarian needs of flood victims. John Holmes, the U.N. emergency relief coordinator, said quick action is needed to bring food, temporary shelter and medicine to Pakistan.
"The death toll has been relatively low compared to other major natural disasters. But if we don't act fast enough, many more people could die of disease and food shortage," Holmes said.
"With continuing rains and floods spreading to more areas, the challenge before us is growing by the day," said Carolyn Fanelli, head of programming and acting country representative for Catholic Relief Services in Pakistan. "We have already distributed emergency relief material to 6,400 people and our target is being regularly revised upward," she said.
The devastating floods that began in late July in the mountainous north under incessant monsoon rains have claimed more than 1,600 lives and affected more than 13 million people. The United Nations reported Aug. 9 that the floods have affected more people than the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, the 2005 earthquake in the Kashmir region of Pakistan and the January earthquake in Haiti combined.
Nasrullah Khan, head of the CRS office in mountainous Besham, 185 miles north of Pakistan's capital, Islamabad, said, "Our staff have covered up to 40 kilometers (25 miles) on foot to remote areas where the people are in great suffering. Mules remain the only option for us to [get] the material to those in remote areas made inaccessible by landslides."
CRS has already started a cash-for-work program in the mountainous region to repair the drinking water supply system the agency built after the 2005 earthquake. "Ironically, though water caused all the problems, people are struggling for water now. They have to walk miles to fetch drinking water," Fanelli said.
As the flood-affected area grows, roads and bridges have been washed away and much of the country's communication network has been destroyed. An official of Caritas Pakistan said some supplies, including plastic sheeting for shelter, water purification tablets, cooking utensils and food items, have gotten through.
"The destruction and human suffering caused by the floods is colossal. Thousands have nothing left and are living in the open," said Anila J. Gill, national executive secretary of Caritas Pakistan. Gill said all Catholic dioceses in Pakistan are involved in the relief work. By Aug. 9, the agency had assisted 4,800 families with tent materials, and hygiene and kitchen kits.
"For the next three months, we will concentrate on the relief work," Gill explained. "The people are in trauma. The challenge now is to support them to survive and overcome the tragedy."
An outbreak of disease and diarrhea because of the lack of safe drinking water is affecting the population in flooded areas. "Medical personnel have not reached many areas and our challenges are increasing day by day," Gill said.

Free Books: Scotland & America on Kindle and the Internet Archive
As part of an ongoing research project, I have been reading a small collection of books on Pennsylvania and Presbyterianism in the United States. As I am reasonably certain that the library will not let me renew them for a fourth time, it occurred to me that I might find them on the internet. I mean EVERYTHING is on the internet, isn't it?
Apparently, everything is NOT on the internet as I did not find the books I was hoping to. However, I did find many others and learned about the Kindle PC reader to boot. In the interest of full-disclosure I should state, I do not own a Kindle reader. My mother got one for her birthday a few months back, but hasn't used it yet.
Apparently, one can download the Kindle Reader for PC, iPhone, iPad and heaven knows what other devices for free. I would imagine Amazon offers this service in the hopes that you will buy Kindle books, even if you don't buy the dedicated e-reader. I did download a couple of free Kindle books courtesy of Writer's Digest, and they look very much like an actual book except that they larger than life-size on my computer monitor.
On Amazon.com I found the following titles, which I was able to download for free:
Fox's Book of Martyrs Or A History of the Lives, Sufferings, and Triumphant Deaths of the Primitive Protestant Martyrs*
An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations* by Adam Smith
Celtic Religion in Pre-Christian Times
Democracy in America - Volume 1 & Democracy in America - Volume 2* by de Tocqueville
The First Blast of the Trumpet against the monstrous regiment of Women by John Knox
Scotland's Mark on America
The Journal of a Tour to the Hebrides with Samuel Johnson, LL.D.* by James Boswell
Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners by John Bunyan
The Proverbs of Scotland
Literary Tours in The Highlands and Islands of Scotland
Journey to the Western Islands of Scotland* by Samuel Johnson
A Short History of Scotland
History of the Mackenzies, with genealogies of the principal families of the name
Fians, Fairies and Picts
The Federalist Papers
The Scottish Chiefs
The Scottish Reformation*
Elements of Gaelic Grammar
The Jacobite Rebellion
The Covenants And The Covenanters Covenants, Sermons, and Documents of the Covenanted Reformation
These books were made available through the work of volunteers. When opened each looks like a PDF file, not like an e-book. Those books marked with an * are available in more Kindle friendly editions, most for as little as a dollar.
If you do not like the look of the page in the PC Kindle Reader you can change the font size, the width of the page, the brightness and the color (black text on white background or the other way round). By highlighting a word and right-clicking you can highlight the word in the e-book, add a note, look something up in the dictionary, copy the word, or search the e-book for other occurrences of that word. This is my first foray into the world of e-books and it is kind of nifty; but I'm still a fan of the real thing.
Some of these works, like those by Samuel Johnson, John Bunyan, and John Knox might have been read by your ancestors. Others, like Fox's Book of Martyrs (which does not include the illustrations) or Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations, are primary documents and having them available on your computer might be handy or an easy way to get a primary source for a research paper at two in the morning. Most of these titles are secondary texts written in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and I'm not sure how reliable modern scholars would consider them. They would be especially useful for literature review sections of research papers -you know X and Y said this in 1825 and 1903 respectively, but later scholars do not seem to support this view of Scottish Z.
Many, many out-of-copyright books are also available for download in various formats via the Internet Archive. I've not looked through their entire catalog, although they do seem to have a sizable collection of US County Histories. I did download a couple of titles in the PDF and Kindle formats. Based upon this experience, I think you would be better off with the PDF version as these are an actual scan of the book. The Kindle version seems to have put the PDF scan through and OCR program which didn't work very well. What this means in practical terms is that some sentences are perfect and others are total gibberish.
Finding public domain works is now kind of like a treasure hunt - what else will we find?
Happy Reading!

I wish I was not so poor that I could financially afford a Kindle. As it is not worth risking foreclosure of my first house (even at an otherwise affordable price my finances are bleak and I cannot afford ANY small "luxury").
Thank you for your time and research, which cost cannot be measured ! I have taken physical journeys to Scotland, although my genealogy still is stumped in the New England (U.S.A.) region about late 1700's. I hope that when my finances improve these Kindle connections will still exist : )
I will follow you through Twitter when I can. If you come across a name change Keach / MacKeachan it would mean all the world's riches to me to hear. Maternal grand-daughter of Rev. Stanley Jordan Keach, Monica MacKeachan.

Monica - thanks for the compliments, visiting and following. I will keep an eye out for Keachan & MacKeachans, I don't think its a common name. The Kindle for PC app is free - you can download it from Amazon and see if you even like ebooks. Hopefully, soon, everyone's financial situation will improve!

The heart of MLR is to serve the students and those beyond our campus with constant attention to help them promote their message in music. This label is totally not what I was used to in the industry in Nashville. It's refreshing, and I hope we can continue to build upon it.
What are your goals in your new position? I am a servant. My goal is to make this a great experience for those I work with, first of all, and then for the artists. I want this to be a place that everyone wants to hang around. I want to see artists hanging in the studio, hanging in the lounge or cafe. I want it to be a place where love and creativity meet every day.
What do you most enjoy about your work? What I enjoy most about my work is the challenge – the character-building side of things. No one just walks up and gives a person anything in the music world, so I enjoy building new relationships and walking the path of the unknown. I love it!
If you could give one piece of advice to young people, what would it be? Get a mentor, invest, apply yourself in the things that you're passionate about. Never let a down day cause you to quit. It's OK to press pause or take a timeout, but never, ever quit.

We Know What's Happening With The Greyjoys in GoT Season 7
Hi, I'm
Thankfully, filming for season seven - which is still at least a year away, sob - has finally kicked off in Ireland and those eagle-eyed fanboys/ girls over at Watchers on the Wall are doing their darndest to keep us up-to-date with all of the on-set goings-on.
So far they've spotted Lena Headey, Indira Varma, Alfie Allen and Gemma Whelan floating about Belfast city, as well as Pilou Asbæk - otherwise known as Euron Greyjoy.
Which brings us to our first spoiler of the season and, look, we're gonna give you a second chance to bounce if you don't want to ruin things for yourself, but you really shouldn't have clicked in otherwise.
Here, decide over a gif of Peter Dinklage dancing.
Still with us?
Well, apparently filming this week was all about the Greyjoys, and it looks like Yara and Theon are in trouble; their uncle, Euron, has been all up in their grill and manages to catch one of them in a sea battle.
The site also reckons that Euron's going to go head-to-head with at least one of the Sand Snakes, so it looks like we're in for a treat.
We're already giddy.

U.K. Inquiry Opens Into Stabbing Death of Reggae Artist Smiley Culture
A British coroner on Wednesday opened an inquest into the 2011 death of reggae star Smiley Culture, who was stabbed in the heart during a police raid on his home.
Police say the London-born musician stabbed himself with a kitchen knife as four officers searched his house in March 2011 in connection with a drugs investigation.
Coroner Richard Travers told an inquest jury that police would testify that the 48-year-old musician was initially relaxed but "changed completely" and became angry and violent during the visit, before plunging a knife into his chest.
Dr. Nathaniel Cary, a pathologist who carried out a post-mortem examination, said that it was possible the fatal wound was self-inflicted, but "on pathological grounds alone there is nothing to determine that this was in fact the case."
British Protesters Urge Inquiry Into Reggae Star Smiley Culture's Death
The musician's family has called the police account of events "bizarre," and hundreds of people demonstrated after the death to demand a public inquiry.
Inquests are held in Britain to establish the facts about violent or unexplained deaths.
The inquest in Woking, south of London, is expected to last up to three weeks and will hear evidence from the police officers involved, who have been granted anonymity.
Culture — whose real name was David Emmanuel — gained fame with 1980s hits, including "Cockney Translation" and "Police Officer."
At the time of his death he was facing trial on charges of conspiracy to supply hard drugs, which he denied.

The Murkowski Energy Plan Takes the 'Renewable' Out of the RFS
Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, has long been known as a strong supporter of fossil fuels in general, and oil in particular. She is the ranking member of the Senate Committee on Energy & Natural Resources. This week she released an energy blueprint, that illustrates a variety of changes she would like to see made to the U.S. energy landscape.
Unsurprisingly, her proposal would gut the renewable fuel standard (RFS). While many in the oil industry have called for an outright repeal of the program, Murkowski's plan would "reform" the RFS to provide more equitable treatment of feedstocks. The proposal, however, is not necessarily addressing equitable treatment for biomass feedstocks. It actually aims to allow transportation fuels made from natural gas and coal to qualify, which would essentially negate the "renewable" in the RFS.
The proposal encourages the development to legislation to redefine the term "clean energy" to mean energy that is "less intensive in global lifecycle impacts on human health and the environment than its likeliest alternative." In explanation, the proposal says that "too often, 'clean' is treated as an absolute, but it is better regarded as a comparison." It is unclear to me exactly what this definition could be interpreted to mean. Obviously renewable energy sources should qualify as "cleaner" than fossil fuels. However, would this type of definition somehow allow oil from some deposits to be classified as "clean" because it is cleaner than oil extracted from others?
To be fair, not everything in the proposal would be negative for the biomass industry. It does call for expanding biomass cofiring at coal-fired power plants, and encourages that drop-in replacement fuels receive a larger share of federal biofuel research and development support.
However, the proposal is overwhelmingly gives preference to the fossil fuel industry. It encourages additional off-shore drilling, new drilling techniques that have made oil deposits, such as those in the Bakken Shale formation, more economic, and other measures to increase fossil fuel production.
I encourage our readers to take a close look at the proposal, and contact both Murkowski and your state's representatives to tell them which elements of the plan would work for your business, and which elements would endanger your industry. The proposal is available for download here. http://www.energy.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/2013/2/sen-murkowski-release-energy-blueprint

WASHINGTON — Fresh off this week's last-minute "fiscal cliff" deal, President Obama on Saturday dug in as the prospect of another budget clash with congressional Republicans loomed, warning that he will not negotiate over raising the nation's debt limit.
"One thing I will not compromise over is whether or not Congress should pay the tab for a bill they've already racked up," Obama said in his weekly address. "If Congress refuses to give the United States the ability to pay its bills on time, the consequences for the entire global economy could be catastrophic. The last time Congress threatened this course of action, our entire economy suffered for it. Our families and our businesses cannot afford that dangerous game again."
Obama's stance puts him squarely at odds once again with newly reelected House Speaker John A. Boehner (R-Ohio), who told a closed-door meeting of Republican lawmakers Friday that he will insist on a dollar-per-dollar match between spending reductions and continued borrowing. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has expressed a similar sentiments.
Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner notified Congress earlier this week that the nation has already hit its $16-trillion debt limit, and Congress will be asked soon to raise the borrowing authority to continue paying the nation's bills.

The Transportation Security Administration had a busy end to 2013, offering a video for kids, expanding iPreCheck, its expedited security program, and opening new places to complete applications for that program.
The agency released a TSA Kids website with a cartoon aimed at teaching kids what to expect when they arrive at the airport. In the video (above), a young pup asks his dad: "Why do we have to stop here? I just want to get on the plane!"
Dad answers with a refrain reinforced throughout the video: "Well we have to STOP, SCREEN, GO before we get on the plane."
"This website will not only keep young travelers informed, it will make traveling more enjoyable for the entire family," TSA head John Pistole said in a Dec. 18 statement introducing the website.
TSA Kids also offers printable coloring pages, including one of an airport scanner and X-ray machine, and another that's a closeup of a TSA badge. The Parents Page provides scanning requirements for children 12 and younger (yes, they keep their shoes on) and rules about such items as baby formula and breast milk in carryon.
The TSA also introduced a Spanish-language page called TSA En Espanol that translates airport screening procedures and rules for Spanish speakers.
By December, the agency had expanded its PreCheck expedited security screening program to 113 airports and nine airlines -- and counting. Burbank, LAX, John Wayne/Orange County, Ontario and Long Beach have PreCheck.
The TSA opened 11 centers where "pre-approved, low-risk travelers" may apply directly for the PreCheck program, including centers in Glendale, Signal Hill and Carson.
It also allows U.S. military members to use PreCheck.

I Would Do Anything for Love ... But I Won't Do That
I had the vegan version of the classic retro loaf last Thursday night (yep, I'm a little behind on posting). The recipe for Diner Loaf came from The Healthy Hedonist by way of Amey's Gastronomus Maximus zine:
Oh my gawd, ya'll. This was the best vegan loaf I've ever tried! In the past, I've always made lentil loaves or hippie-like nut loaves. But this one was made with a base of Gimme Lean ground burger (the kind in the tube), tofu, oats, and walnuts. More meaty, for sure.
On the side, I had steamed kale and some local Corn with Garlic-Miso Dressing from Vegan Soul Kitchen:
I've blogged about this corn dressing before, but it's so tasty that I have to mention it again. Bryant Terry's miso-based spread is so much tastier and healthier than soy margarine. I doubt I'll ever butter my corn again when I have this option. This recipe alone is worth buying VSK for if you don't already own it.

The Ultimate Comfort Food! I love "meat"loaf and this post is great. This loaf looks so firm and substantial - and I love miso as a base for sauces! There's still corn around up here, soon to go, but I have some in the fridge.

You know, I don't think I've had a meatloaf-style vegan loaf once in the eight years that I've been vegan... I should give that a try.
Your other post on Vegan Soul Kitchen made me want the cookbook. Maybe when I'm ready to splurge again. Looking good!

FULLERTON, Calif. – Despite a strong second half effort, UC Santa Barbara couldn't close the deal in a tough 74-72 loss at Cal State Fullerton on Saturday night.
Alan Williams scored 26 points and led a second charge that saw the Gauchos (12-6 overall, 3-2 in the Big West) overcome a 12-point deficit and take a 70-68 lead with 2:20 left, but that was UCSB's only lead.
The Titans (7-12, 2-3) reclaimed a 71-70 lead with 32 seconds left on a three-pointer by Michael Williams, but a three-point attempt by Kyle Boswell with 23 seconds left went around the rim twice before popping out. Fullerton's Alex Harris came down with the rebound and was fouled immediately. He made 1-of-2 free throws to push the advantage to 72-70.
The Gauchos rebounded the missed free throw and quickly got the ball up the floor, but an Eric Childress lay-up attempt was blocked by Josh Gentry and the Titans Steve McClellan was fouled after coming down with the board. McClellan made both free throws and it was 74-70. Williams made a follow as the game ended.
The game was tied at 5-5 when Zalmico Harmon hit a 15-foot jumper with 16:20 left in the first half, but Fullerton went on a 7-0 run to take a 12-5 lead with 15:07 remaining and the Gauchos never caught up again.
UCSB set the tone for the game in the first half, making just 7-of-23 shots overall and 1-of-7 from outside the three-point arc. Fullerton was just 11-of-26 overall, but hit 5-of-11 three-point attempts en route to a comfortable 30-21 halftime lead.
"We played a sluggish first half," said Gaucho head coach Bob Williams. "We didn't play well in the second half at Riverside or the first half tonight and 18 good minutes in the second half weren't enough. We just couldn't finish in the last two minutes and so the first half came back to haunt us."
Santa Barbara scored 51 points in the second half and made 57.1% of its shots, including 4-of-9 three-point attempts, to finish at 46.3% overall and 33.3% from outside the arc. The Titans had one of their best shooting games of the season as they hit 50.0% from the field.
Williams added a game-high nine rebounds for UCSB. Michael Bryson finished with 16 points, 14 of them coming in the second half, while Boswell added 11. Harmon tied his career-high with 10 assists and he had no turnovers.
Harris led Fullerton with 22 points while Michael Williams added 19.
