SPRINGFIELD, Mass. – The MIT women's volleyball team ended its season with a 25-16, 25-10, 25-15 loss to nationally-ranked No. 19 Springfield College in the semifinals of the NEWMAC Championship Tournament on Saturday afternoon. The Engineers ended their campaign with a 23-11 record following their 14th consecutive semifinal appearance.
MIT captured the first two points of the match and after five ties, the last at eight all, the Pride registered the next three points to gain some breathing room. The Engineers battled back, coming within one (12-11) on a block by sophomore Kristine Bunker (Falmouth, Mass.) and senior Kelly Schulte (Riverside, Calif.). Springfield generated another three-point spurt, but a pair of errors kept MIT within striking distance. The Pride responded with a 10-3 run to end the frame.
Like the previous set, the Engineers opened the second stanza with a pair of points. A trio of errors gave Springfield a 3-2 edge, which was quickly erased courtesy of a pair of kills from Schulte. The Pride used a hitting error, two Meaghan Hart aces, and a Lauren Torvi kill to go ahead for good. A serving miscue trimmed MIT's deficit to 7-5, but this was as close as it would get as Springfield mounted an 18-5 run to capture the game.
The Pride established a 5-2 lead in the final frame, which the Engineers narrowed to one courtesy of a hitting error and a strike by junior Trinity Leonard (Mill Valley, Calif.). The hosts scored the next five points to increase their cushion. A kill from senior Cecily Joujon-Roche (Laguna Hills, Calif.) ended the run and was the first of five occasions in which MIT narrowed the gap to four, the final time at 14-10. The Pride countered by tallying 11 of the next 16 points to wrap up the match.
Schulte finished with seven kills and one block while Leonard totaled seven kills, seven digs, and an ace. Joujon-Roche posted four kills as sophomore Rachel Hunt (Arlington Heights, Ill.) contributed three kills and two blocks. Junior Alyssa Rothman (Plainview, N.Y.) dished out 20 assists while junior Katie Spielbauer (Lakeview, Mich.) and sophomore Jess Fessler (Shortsville, N.Y.) had 11 and seven digs, respectively.

Dennys Funny Quotes: Check Out Funny Business Names in Louisiana: From Denny: Of the few local newspapers left in America - before they get gobbled up and homogenized by Big Business to turn a bigger profit - there are those small papers that still retain a local flavor. Baton Rouge, Louisiana and The Advocate is one of them.
A local reporter by the name of Smiley Anders has been collecting and writing this funny column since 1979 when he first started in the business. The public write in their true stories of funny situations that happened to them. The public also pass on local Cajun jokes for good measure.
One day Smiley was calling out for readers to send in funny business names they have seen in their Louisiana communities. Some of the names are downright odd and funny crazy. Some business owners actually invested in these silly names!...
It's ALL good reminds us of the sweetness in life!

Picturing the Feminine Divine
Sometimes, I deal with the feeling that I'm not really worthy of love. Is it any wonder given the sort of messages that society feeds to women every second of the day? It can be difficult for me to feel important enough for the Creator to really be interested in my problems. I think about that line from an old movie where the narrator says, "There's eight million stories in the naked city."
Sometimes, I think about the Bible's account of Jesus and his life on earth as a man. I wonder how his life would have differed if he had spent this time as a woman instead. It can be hard for me to relate to Jesus' experiences as a man, but Mary is different. Mary was a mother. Mary was a wife. Mary was a girl-child who lived her life in a male-dominated world. Mary lived the experience of being oppressed on the basis of gender. Mary experienced being unmarried and pregnant and dependent on others in order to stay alive. Mary experienced having a secret that could have killed her if others found out. Mary is my sister. She is my mother. She is my girl-child.
I know that Christianity teaches that the Creator can understand our feelings and worries and thoughts and I believe that's true. However, sometimes it can be hard to feel like it's the truth. The Creator is so often portrayed as some sort of male person, that it can be hard for me to see beyond that on some days. Mary helps me cross that barrier. Her presence is reassuring. I know there is a divine personage who has experienced what it's like to be me.
When I think of it that way, I can understand why Mary has been portrayed in so many different ways. If Mary is my sister, my mother, and my daughter, then how could she not be a woman of color? If I am to relate to her, how could I see her as someone completely foreign from how I see myself? My Mary is black. My Mary is a single mother-to-be. My Mary knows what it means to suffer physically. This is the Mary that looks after me with the care and compassion of a mother, a sister, an aunt.
The depiction of Mary as a transgender woman seems very natural to me. I really don't understand how it is any different than the myriad ways that Mary has already been depicted. I know that some people arrogantly think that they can own the divine. They don't want others to know that Mary belongs to everyone. She is the face that we see when we think about the feminine divinity. If Mary looks like us and the Creator deemed her worthy of recognition and respect and admiration, how could we worthless? In my opinion, depicting Mary as a transgender woman only magnifies her image and I think this is something that could be quite empowering for all women.

I think it's not insignificant that one of the trans women portrayed as Mary in the calendar is a trans woman of colour. As you say, Mary as an image of the female divine is open to looking like all kinds of women.
In the old testament the Creator referred to itself as "We". In hebrew texts, the feminine part was called the Sophia... Wisdom++
- The Right Guy said...
I love you Bint, but honestly, I think you are off the beaten path a bit and I will leave it at that. As far as God and gender is concerned, it's not an issue for god as it's a petty one. God transcends gender, sex, or any other human condition, and frailty. As far as Jesus being a man, I think that the more important thing to think about is that he was a human being first that spoke to the human condition, not someone that is bound by constituencies or subcultures, but everyone. I think he understand the ties that bind us as they say. Anything else is filtering for our own reasons.
If Mary was a transwoman, then not only did she have a virgin pregnancy, but possibly an hysterical one as well... Considering Jesus had siblings, it's highly unlikely.
Sophia is a greek word...May be you mean hokhmah.
- bint alshamsa said...
The Right Guy,
I think you're absolutely right about all else being filtering for our own reasons. That was part of what I was trying to say. I think that this filtering occurs because God can feel so far blindingly perfect that our minds find it hard to get a grip on. Making Jesus or Mary look more like us, makes them more accessible, sometimes. To me, the fact that Jesus and Mary have been depicted in so many ways seems to be proof that they do not belong to one particular constituency or subculture. I think Mary can be Notre Dame D'Afrique, Our Lady of Prompt Succor, La Virgen de Guadalupe, and Madonna Della Strada all at once. I don't think that when people create these images, they are necessarily trying to make claims about what Mary actually looked like. I think they are simply showing aspects about her that they can relate to and, in the process, reflect our notions of what constitutes feminine beauty.
On a good day, I can see the bigger picture--that Jesus was a human and, as such, he is capable of understanding any human experience. However, the fact that he can understand what I've experienced doesn't mean that I can understand what HE experienced. It's just easier for me to relate to Mary, when it's an issue that is specific to womanhood.

I think that while The Right Guy is right that God does not have a sex(being pure spirit and all that), I don't think you can draw the conclusion that God is not culturally gendered (by the Bible, by just about everyone still) as male. So why do we as a culture insist so vigorously that "he" is *nevertheless* male and only male? It couldn't be to do with the considerable cultural power accrued by men in the movement from God-the-Father to men as heads of churches, households etc..
Even within the limited terms of a patriarchy it *still* is unbalanced and has a feminine absence - God the Father is protective etc, but no God the Mother for creation? Weiirrd. No wonder the Blessed Mother stepped in to cover that up. Not to mention the ridiculousness of the dominant representation of Jesus as a lily white dude.
All of this points to the politicised and selective nature of our current religious imaginary.. all *so* much more inaccurate and exclusive than any re-imagining of the Virgin Mary!
- Sean G (AKA - Papa Giorgio), M.A.T.S. said...
I apologize, my editing skills were on vacation.
I do not wish to argue or belabor the point I am going to make, just putting it out there for digestion. Typically those called "fundamentalist," people like myself who take the Bible a bit more rigidly than that of some, are one's who would support a portion of what you speak of here. Obviously there is much to be debated here, that however, is not my purpose... I am looking for agreement.
Young earth creationists (YEC) are almost unanimous in the view that Adam and Eve were of a red or medium brown feature than that the lighter and darker races (Ethiopian and Irish as two examples). The Hebrew root word for Adam means red-clay, and out of the 220-or-so peoples from around the world on all the continents separated by oceans (brown, red, yellow, white) who have an ancient story of a worldwide flood and animals, people escaping and many even having a bird being released and sacrifice (like the Hebraic story)... out of those about half have a story of the first family being red in color.
I have witnessed to many Nazi Low-Riders and skinheads using some of these evidences as well as Numbers chapter 12 where Moses marries a Cushite woman (the early originators of the Ethiopian peoples -- which is why there is a large black Jewish population from Ethiopia and why they may have the real - or the fake Ark - both of which are spoken of in the Old Testament). Miriam spoke out against this interracial marriage so God struck her with a disease that turned her medium skin ashen white until she repented from this God blessed interracial marriage.
There are other points I make depending on whom I am talking to: a Christian Identity adherent or a Nation of Islam guy; both of whom have religious explanations of the races. ("Race does not really exist, both scientifically [Scientific American for example], and Biblically [Acts 17:26 for example]).
Evolutionary thinking use to teach that the races came from three different "strains" or "offshoots," if you will. The Bible however has always taught that all of mankind/womankind came from Adam and Eve. In fact, the evolutionary model was the excuse for biological racism which says one race has evolved further than other races, and why race was even considered a factor.
(Side Note: Hunters use to track down and kill the Aboriginal man and woman (Australia), kill them, boil off their flesh, and send the bones back to the US and Britain for study as missing links in our "greatest" universities. There was even an aboriginal man put in the same cage with a monkey at the NY Zoo so people visiting could see the missing link. Well, science has caught up with the Bible due to mitochondrial evidence, and the "mitochondrial eve," that says we all came from one seed.
Similarly, just as all ancient religions taught an eternal "creation" or posited some eternal state of "things" in a Platonic understanding (pantheism) or the opposing materialistic view (polytheism)... at any rate, the Hebraic/Christian understanding has always been that the universe began to exist.
• Albert Einstein developed his general theory of relativity in 1915;
• In the 1920s using Einstein's theory, a Russian mathematician and Belgium astronomer predicted the universe was expanding;
• In 1929, Hubble discovered the Red-Light shift showing that galaxies are moving away from us;
• In the 1940's, George Gamow predicted a particular temperature to the universe if the Big Bang happened;
• In 1965, two scientists discovered the universe's background radiation -- and it was only about 3.7 degrees above absolute zero.
Almost all scientists up until the 50's likewise posited an eternal state of the universe, and hence God was not needed in their equation... that is, until the Big Bang. Again, science finally caught up.

This is a fascinating study that you may wish to understand a bit more. I will here recommend a book and some DVDs:
Darwin's Plantation: Evolution's Racist Roots (Ken Ham & Dr. Charles Ware), 192 pages.
(Free On-Line) - One Blood: The Biblical Answer to Racism --
DVDs ~ Some of my favorites:
Only One Race: The Scientific and Biblical Case Against Racism (Ken Ham).
The Real Roots (John Mackay)
The Origin of the Races (John Mackay)
I know its hard for one to spend $ on products they have no idea about. I have over 500 DVD documentaries geared towards this type of stuff (philosophy, science, politics, theology, apologetics, etc), and these are still some of my favorites.
I hope this post finds you well.
God Bless and Much Thought (the two go well together)
Papa Giorgio.

Miss Al-Bint,
You do not have to approve this post, I am merely confirming you received the edited (I neglected to actually read through my post and catch the many spelling errors) comments. I apologize profusely for re-posting them, but the newer versions made more sense when reading them.
There is an option to permanently delete the above "This post has been removed by the author," just for cleanliness of your blog.
Much Thought,
Papa Giorgio

Congratulations on finding the lace. Did you check on Etsy? Just a thought. Love you, sister dear. Onward and upward with sewing a wedding dress and little gray mice. (Do those two go together? Probably not.)

Etsy was full of beautiful lace, mostly made in China and might arrive in the next few months. I thought that might not be a good idea. The lace on EBay looked beautiful and should be here the end of this week. Plus the price was really good.

The Vendor shall indemnify Fellows and the Buyer against any loss and expense caused by any breach of this clause 4.2. 4.3 The Vendor shall be entitled to place prior to the Auction a reserve on any Lot, being the minimum Hammer Price at which Lot may be sold. Reserves must be reasonable and Fellows may decline to offer goods which in Fellows' opinion would be subject to an unreasonably high reserve (in which case goods carry the storage and insurance charges stipulated in the terms of consignment). Reserves will not be accepted on items with a bottom estimate less than 50. The Auctioneer also reserves the right not to accept items which they deem to be unsuitable for Auction. Any estimate given shall be an opinion and is not an undertaking, warranty or representation of any kind and will not have any legal effect. 4.4 A reserve once set cannot be changed except with the written prior consent of Fellows. 4.5 Where a reserve has been placed only Fellows may bid on behalf of the Vendor. 4.6 The Vendor authorises Fellows to deduct commission from any sold items at a rate of 15% (plus VAT) on any item with a hammer price of 3,000 (or under) or 12.5% (plus VAT) on items over 3,000. Loss or liability for damage will be charged at a rate of 1.5% (plus VAT) calculated on the hammer price. A Marketing fee of 10 (plus VAT) will be charged for each Lot, if unsold we will charge a nominal handling fee of 5 (plus VAT). All items below 35 are subject to a minimum fee of 5 (plus VAT) per Lot. 4.7 Fellows will pay the Hammer Price achieved for the Lot (less the commission and applicable fees in accordance with clauses 4.6, 9.2, and 9.3), to the Vendor on receipt of payment of the Total Amount Due in full by the Buyer. 4.8 The Vendor authorises Fellows in their discretion to negotiate a sale by private treaty in the case of a Lot unsold at Auction, in which case the same charges will be payable as if the Lot had been sold at Auction. 4.9 Fellows do not themselves undertake the collection of any items but may, as the Vendor's agent, instruct a contractor on behalf of the Vendor. Fellows disclaims any liability for the actions of such contractor who contracts with the Vendor direct. 4.10 Fellows disclaims all liability for items delivered to their saleroom without sufficient sale instructions, and reserves the right to make a minimum warehousing charge of 1.00 plus VAT per item per day. Unsold items are subject to the same charges if the Vendor does not remove them within a reasonable time of notification. If not removed within three weeks Fellows reserves the right to sell the items and defray charges from any net proceeds of sale or at the Vendor's expense to consign them to the local authority for disposal. Fellows disclaims any liability for default by the Buyer or for paying out the Vendor before receiving payment by the Buyer. 4.11 Subject to clause 4.9, Fellows holds all items on their premises and in their custody covered against the risks of fire, burglary and water damage on the scale of charges notified in the terms of consignment and payable by the Vendor up to the date of any sale and (in Fellows' discretion) the Buyer thereafter until collection. 4.12 The right of Fellows to bid on behalf of the Vendor is expressly reserved. The Vendor acknowledges that Lots are sold subject to the stipulations of these Conditions in their entirety and on the Terms of Consignment as notified to consignors at the time of the entry of the Lot. 4.13 The Auctioneer reserves the right to dispose of any item that in their opinion is unsaleable. Items, including electrical goods and soft furnishings, which do not comply with current legislation will not be offered at Auction. 4.14 Any items unsold after an Auction will be reoffered in a subsequent Auction at a reduced reserve to be agreed within seven days. The Auctioneer may request the removal of an item if a reduced price cannot be agreed; items not removed within 14 days will be subject to a storage charge. 4.15 A charge of 10% (plus VAT) based on the middle estimate plus any other charges incurred may be levied for any Lot withdrawn by the Vendor from offer at an Auction. If the item has to be returned by post (or any other method) the Vendor will be responsible for this charge. These charges are to be paid before the item is returned. 4.16 By submitting the item to Fellows for offer at Auction, the Vendor agrees to the Terms of Consignment and authorises Fellows to deduct the specified charges. 5. Publicity 5.1 Any catalogue and buyer guides are provided for information only and do not form by themselves form part of these Conditions. However, the catalogue and the buyer guides may contain additional terms and conditions. 5.2 Fellows reserve the right to use any photographs, background information, and research for publicity purposes both before and after the sale. 6. The Auction 6.1 Any Auction shall be conducted at the absolute discretion of the Auctioneer. 6.2 The Auctioneer shall conduct the Auction with reasonable skill and care. For example, what constitutes a bid shall be at the absolute discretion of the Auctioneer, acting with reasonable skill and care. 6.3 The Auctioneer shall have the right to refuse any bid which does not exceed the previous bid by at least 10% or by such greater proportion as the Auctioneer shall in his or her absolute discretion direct. 6.4 Where two or more bids at the same level are simultaneously received by the Auctioneer, the Auctioneer at his absolute discretion shall determine which bid to prefer.

You must sign into your My Fellows account to do this and you will receive an email confirmation for any changes made.Should a bid be placed in error on the website you must contact Fellows immediately. Failure to contact Fellows before the auction takes place will result in liability for the full payment of the item. 7.3 Subject to clause 6.3, the highest Bidder at the Hammer Price shall be the Buyer. Any dispute about a bid shall be settled at the Auctioneer's absolute discretion. 7.4 Bidders are deemed to act as principals unless there is a written prior acknowledgement by Fellows that a Bidder is acting as an agent for a named principal. 7.5 Bidders are strongly encouraged to attend the Auction in person. Bidders shall be responsible for any decision to bid for a particular Lot and shall be deemed to have carefully inspected and satisfied themselves as to its condition. Neither Fellows nor its employees or agents shall be responsible for any neglect or default in doing or failing to do so. 7.6 Bidders are given ample opportunities to view and inspect before any sale and prospective Buyers must satisfy themselves as to all such matters. Neither Fellows nor its employees and agents nor the Vendor accept liability for the correctness of such opinions, and all conditions and warranties, express, implied or statutory are hereby excluded. 8. The Buyer 8.1 Immediately a Lot is sold, the Buyer shall: (a) give to Fellows their name and address and, if requested proof of identity, and (b) pay to Fellows the Total Amount Due. 8.2 Fellows may, at its absolute discretion, agree credit terms with the Buyer before an Auction under which the Buyer may be entitled to take possession of Lots up to an agreed value in advance of payment by a stipulated future date of the Total Amount Due. 8.3 Cheques shall not be acceptable by Fellows (unless Fellows in its absolute discretion permits payment by such method) nor are third party references or credit facilities with other Auction houses. If a cheque is tendered Fellows reserves the right to instruct its bank to check the Buyer's status and account balance before exercising any discretion. Any credit arrangement must be settled at least 4 days before the relevant sale. Any permitted payment by credit card shall carry an extra charge to the Buyer of such percentage of the Total Amount Due as is displayed on the premises. 8.4 Any payments by a Buyer to Fellows may be applied by Fellows towards any sums owing from that Buyer to Fellows on any account whatever without regard to any directions of the Buyer or his agent, whether express or implied. 9. The Purchase Price 9.1 On the first £100,000 of the Hammer Price (of any individual Lot) the Buyer will pay the Hammer Price and a premium of 23% (plus VAT). The said premium payable by buyers. Value Added Tax is charged at the rate prevailing by law at the date of sale. 9.2 On the excess over £100,000 of the Hammer Price (of any individual Lot), the Buyer will pay the Hammer Price and a premium of 15% (plus VAT). The said premium not being negotiable and payable by ALL Buyers. The Vendor authorises Fellows to retain beneficially the premium payable by Buyers. Value Added Tax is charged at the rate prevailing by law at the date of sale. 9.3 Value Added Tax on the Hammer Price is imposed on all items affixed with an asterisk thus - *. 9.4 Buyers will pay a commission charge of an additional 3% + VAT of the hammer price if lots are successfully purchased online via the-saleroom.com or Fellows' live bidding facility. Buyers using Easy Live Auction can choose whether to pay a live bidding charge of 3% + VAT of the hammer price, or a fixed fee of £3 per sale. Buyers will pay a commission charge of an additional 5% + VAT of the hammer price if lots are successfully purchased online via Live Auctioneers. 9.5 Non UK or EU VAT registered buyers can have most classes of VAT refunded on their purchases - please note that auctioneers are under no obligation to provide VAT refunds, although many will offer this service. HMRC are the ultimate refunding authority. VAT refunds are subject to provision of statutory export/import documentation. HMRC have decreed that VAT on buyer's premium is always payable whether the buyer is domiciled in the UK, the EU or outside the EU or wherever the goods are to be sent. So auctioneers cannot refund VAT on buyer's premium if the goods are sold under normal VAT rules. 10. Title and Collection of Purchases 10.1 The ownership of any Lot purchased shall not pass to the relevant Buyer until they have made payment in full to Fellows of the Total Amount Due. 10.2 Buyers shall at their own risk and expense take away any Lot that they have purchased and paid for not later than 5 working days following the day of the Auction after which they shall be responsible for any removal, storage and insurance charges. Any delivery costs shall be paid in advance by the Buyer. 11. Default by Buyer or Vendor 11.1 As Fellows act as agent for the Vendor, Fellows is not responsible for default by the Vendor or the Buyer. 11.2 If any Lot is not paid for in full and taken away in accordance with these Conditions, or if there is any other breach of these Conditions, Fellows as agent for the Vendor shall at its absolute discretion and without prejudice to any other rights it may have, be entitled to exercise all or any of the following rights and remedies:(a) to proceed against the Buyer for an action for debt or damages for breach of contract; (b) to rescind the sale of that Lot and/or any other Lots sold by Fellows to the defaulting Buyer; (c) to re-sell the Lot by Auction or private treaty. If a lower Hammer Price is achieved on the re-sale than that achieved on the original sale the defaulting Buyer shall be liable for the difference (after crediting any part payment and adding any re-sale costs). Fellows will account to the Vendor for any surplus achieved on a re-sale, however, it shall only be required to account to the Vendor for any resulting deficiency in the event that it receives payment of such sum in full from the defaulting Buyer. (d) to remove, store and insure the Lot at the expense of the defaulting Buyer and, in the case of storage, either at Fellows' premises or elsewhere; (e) to charge interest at a rate not exceeding 1.5% per month on the total amount due to the extent it remains unpaid for more than 2 working days after the sale; (f) to retain that or any other Lot sold to the defaulting Buyer until that Buyer pays the total amount due; (g) to reject or ignore bids from the defaulting Buyer at future Auctions or to impose conditions before any such bids shall be accepted; (h) to apply any proceeds of sale of other Lots due or in future becoming due to the defaulting Buyer towards the settlement of the total amount due and to exercise a lien on any of the Buyer's property in Fellows' possession for any purpose. 12. Deliberate Forgeries 12.1 Subject to clause 12.2, any representation or statement by Fellows (including in any catalogue) as to authorship, genuineness, origin, date, age, provenance, condition or estimated selling price is a statement of opinion only. Prospective Buyers are given ample opportunities to view and inspect before any sale and prospective Buyers must satisfy themselves as to all such matters. Neither Fellows or its employees or agents nor the Vendor accept liability for the correctness of such opinions and all conditions and warranties, express, implied or statutory are hereby excluded. 12.2 Any Lot which proves to be a Deliberate Forgery may be returned to Fellows by the Buyer within 21 days of the Auction provided it is in the same condition as when bought, and is accompanied by particulars identifying it from the relevant catalogue description and a written statement of defects. If Fellows is satisfied from the evidence presented that the Lot is a Deliberate Forgery Fellows shall refund the money paid by the Buyer for the Lot (but not the amount of any consequential loss, damages, expenses or interest) provided that (1) if the catalogue description reflected the accepted view of scholars and experts as at the date of sale or (2) the Buyer personally is not able to transfer a good and marketable title to Fellows. 13. Limitations of Liability 13.1 All members of the public on the premises are there at their own risk and must note the lay-out of the accommodation and security arrangements. 13.2 Any indemnity under these Conditions shall extend to all actions, costs, expenses, claims and demands whatsoever suffered or incurred by the person entitled to the benefit of it and Fellows declares itself to be a trustee of the benefit of every such indemnity so far as it is expressed to be for the benefit of its employees and agents. 13.3 While Fellows endeavours to ensure that the information on the Website is correct, Fellows does not warrant the accuracy and completeness of the material on the Website.

Have you ever had contact with a deceased celebrity?
Question: Have you ever channeled a deceased celebrity like Elvis or Marilyn Monroe? If so, what did they tell you? Answer: Isn't Elvis still alive? 😉 But seriously, I have had some limited contact with celebrities who died but it doesn't happen often at all. The first was Nicole Brown Simpson, O.J.'s wife.

Yost, Paul A., Jr. (1929- )
Admiral, U.S. Coast Guard (Retired)
This is a lively, candid, informative memoir from the officer who served as Commandant of the Coast Guard from 1986 to 1990. After growing up in Indiana and Florida, he went to prep school in Washington, D.C., shortly after World War II and graduated from the Coast Guard Academy in 1951. On graduation he married Jan Worth and then served 1951-52 in the cutter Iroquois (WPG-43). During that tour of duty the Yosts became Mormons, a factor that was to play a large part in their lives. The next two tours of duty were in Guam, 1952-55, first as watch officer at the Coast Guard rescue coordination center in Guam, then in the troubled buoy tender Ironwood (WLB-297). Yost was a Coast Guard Academy instructor, coach, and company officer, 1955-59, then commanded the cutter Agassiz (WSC-126), 1959-61. In 1961-63 he was chief of the Nuclear Effects Branch in Coast Guard Headquarters and spent the following year as a student at the Naval War College. He served 1964-66 in the 12th Coast Guard District office in San Francisco and was first commanding officer of the cutter Resolute (WMEC-620), 1966-68. In 1969-70 Yost served as part of the Naval command structure in country in Vietnam. He commanded riverine attacks as part of Operation Market Time and later commanded the Sea Float Barge at old Nam Can. Back in the States, he was chief of the Bridge Division at Coast Guard Headquarters, 1970-72, and served 1972-74 on Law of the Sea issues. Next he was Captain of the Port office in Seattle, followed by various billets on the staff of Rear Admiral John Hayes, Commander 17th Coast Guard District in Alaska, 1975-78. Yost's first flag assignment was as Commander Eighth Coast Guard District in New Orleans, 1978-81. Subsequently he was Chief of Staff, Coast Guard Headquarters, 1981-84; Commander Atlantic Area, 1984-86, and eventually Commandant. In 1990 he became president of the James Madison Foundation. Key events during the 1980s for Yost were the war against drug smuggling, development of Maritime Defense Zones, emphasis on the Coast Guard as a military service, budget struggles, and overseeing oil pollution cleanup after the grounding of the tanker Exxon Valdez in 1989.

The distiller's tale
What do you do when you lose a priceless diamond? You get ticked off soundly for shoving it into a bottle of gin in the first place, further ticked off for not having the foresight to mark that bottle distinctively in any way, and finally threatened with disinheritance if you don't find it by the end of the week.
This is what happened to Jack. Heir to one of London's oldest gin distelleries, and it's most unremarkable one, Jack tried everything in his power to raise sales. He knew the product was excellent. His great-grandfather had concocted it with many exotic materials. Juniper berries. Aniseed. Orris root. Even, legend had it, virgin's tears, before London's supply of virgins dried up. But sales just wouldn't budge.
Jack got the bright idea of inserting a diamond into a bottle of his gin from the cereal companies.
He decided to slip in a diamond into one of the bottles and advertise the fact. Everyone would buy a bottle, Jack reasoned, and his distillery would be the talk of the town. Yes, Jack was not very intellectually gifted.
His father was most categorical about the disinheritance. "That bloody diamond cost more than our entire stock of gin. And finding it means breaking every single bottle. Jack, it's all my fault. I ought to have strangled you at birth"
Mother was more understanding. And, more importantly, she was practical.
"We must think, dear" she said to Jack, since Father had walked off in a huff. "And since neither of us have the requisite apparatus, we must engage someone to do it for us".
"A detective?" asked Jack, tentatively
"Oh, I think not!" said mother. "They're a mercenary lot. They'd pocket the diamond on the sly and we would end up with a whole lot of broken bottles of perfectly good gin. No, we need someone else. Someone with capacity for logical thought".
"A chess player?" Jack piped up hopefully.
"Ummm......I have a better idea". Mother's eyes were twinkling now. "Find the female Go champion. She will find our bottle"
"Go?" asked Jack
"It's a Japanese game requiring great logical and strategic skills"
"But why 'Go' of all things, and why the female champion?" asked Jack, still puzzled.
"Just do it, dear. Now! We have very little time!"
I'll spare you the details and tell you straight away that Jack, though a man of dim wit, was second to none when it came to action. He caught the next plane to Tokyo, located the female Go champion before the day was out, engaged her for a modest fee, flew her into London the next, and the morning after that, sat beaming across the breakfast table with mother.
"Mum, you are simply amazing!" Jack said. "And you saved my life! How in the world did you know it would happen this way? She just asked me for my production records, my time schedules, my storage sequence and deduced which bottle the diamond was in. First time right!"
"It's the basics, Jack. Always the basics. She was the female Go champion. A Go girl. And you do remember what they all say, don't you? A Go girl's the fastest in searching gin"

MURRYSVILLE, Pa., July 28 (UPI) -- A video of an excited dog that was uploaded to YouTube a few days ago has made more than 17 million people howl with laughter and feel warm and fuzzy.
The clip shows a 9-year-old schnauzer reuniting with a family member she hadn't seen for more than two years.
Casey, the pup, dashes up to Rebecca Ehalt, squeals for an extended period of time and then appears to pass out from excitement.
The noise Casey was making is standard for schnauzers.
"Anyone who's familiar with the breed knows they're a little higher pitched," Ehalt's sister, Rachel Abbett, told TODAY.com. "I think the video really says it."
It was the first time that anyone has ever seen the dog faint and they were concerned at first.
"The schnauzer, Casey, was taken to the vet, the vet saw the video, and everything is fine with her," Ehalt wrote with the YouTube video. "No worries."

I think that unmilled grain stored properly IE dry and away from oxygen can go 6 months to a year. Specialty grains about double that. This is just my guess from remembering podcasts I've listen to.
Keeping your grain dry (most important), cool, dark and in an airtight container are the best options to assure a longer shelf life for your grain.I use Rubbermaid containers but Vittle Vaults are also great. I also store the grain in the sack that it is supplied with.
In listening to an old episode of Brewstrong, they had a guy from Briess on the show, and he indicated if kept dry and dark, unmilled grain can last a couple years. What surprised me is when he said even milled grain is fine for a month or so. I generally mill my grain the day before brewing.He indicated the key was to keep it DRY. Moisture is the enemy.

Yaklich: Gillespie has a conflict of interest on the matter
Public safety vs. fiscal responsibility: Can the city of Kewanee provide the first while maintaining the second?
That was the topic of a sometimes-heated discussion at a City Council budget session Monday that included a charge by one councilman that another has a conflict of interest.
The issue is fire department staffing. City Manager Kip Spear has proposed that the city save about $90,000 a year on overtime for firefighters by allowing just four firefighters on a shift, instead of the minimum of five now required.
With 16 firefighters on the roster, the fire department now operates one six-man shift and two five-man shifts. When a firefighter is on vacation or sick, the practice is to call in an off-duty firefighter to cover that shift and be paid overtime.
Councilman Mike Yaklich has said he feels the council has a duty to avoid spending down the reserves in the city general fund, and that reducing the $150,000 the city paid last year for fire department overtime is one way to do that.
But Mayor Bruce Tossell and councilmen Bob Kuntz and Duane Gillespie have said they feel allowing four-man shifts could compromise the department's ability to respond to structure fires.
Spear said National Fire Protection Association standards call for having at least five firefighters present before entering a burning building.
Yaklich pointed out that the Bettendorf, Iowa fire department, which serves a town of 33,500 people, uses a mix of paid and volunteer firefighters to respond to structure fires.
Kewanee has averaged 12 structure fires a year in recent years, Yaklich said.
"I'll go along with you, if you can tell me which 12 days those fires are going to be," Tossell said.
When Gillespie started to speak on the issue, Yaklich said he feels since Gillespie is a firefighter and his income is affected by the fire department's overtime policy, he should abstain from any discussion or vote on the matter.
Gillespie asked if Yaklich feels he should refrain from voting or discussing TIF districts, which could impact his wife's real estate business. Yaklich replied that he didn't see a conflict there.
Spear said that under common law, "anyone who engages a conflict of interest does so at their own peril." So Gillespie could discuss the topic and vote on it if he wishes, and bear any possible consequences.
Yaklich said he feels the council should at least have Fire Chief Paul Shaecher contact other fire departments of similar size to Kewanee to see how they handle staffing, and consider changing the city's policy.
"If we don't at least consider it, we're not fulfilling our obligation to the taxpayers," he said.
"I did consider it. I just don't think we should do it," Tossell said.
"I would hate to have a school on fire and have only four firemen show up with all those kids in there," the mayor said.
Since Monday's meeting was merely a planning session, the council didn't vote on the fire department staffing issue.

Robert Pattinson: Short Haircut!
Twilight star Robert Pattinson says goodbye to his trademark tousled locks and shows off his new sexy short haircut as he arrives at Heathrow airport in London on Monday. (The taping for New Moon isn't for awhile, so it's likely his hair will grow back in time!)
The 22-year-old British actor, who is in a band in London, brought along his guitar for the trip. Robert has said, "I am in a band at the moment called Bad Girls. The band belongs to my first girlfriend's current boyfriend and he was having an open mic night. He invited me to sing, but it was just a bit of fun – that was about six months ago. I don't know where that's going to go."
WHAT DO YOU THINK of Robert's newly short hair — HOT or NOT?

Cobain's daughter posts heartfelt message on his would-be 50th birthday
Cobain's daughter posts heartfelt message on his would-be 50th birthday
On the day that would have been his 50th birthday, Kurt Cobain's daughter took to Instagram to remember her late father.
Frances Bean Cobain posted a picture with the words, "Today would have been your 50th birthday. You are loved and missed. Thank you for giving me the gift of life. Forever your daughter, Frances Bean Cobain."
Cobain died in 1994 and was most known for his formation of the band Nirvana. He died as a result of self-inflicted gunshot wound when he was just 27.
"I just hope I don't become so blissful I become boring. I think I'll always be neurotic enough to do something weird," Cobain told "Rolling Stone" in 1994.
