A Revolutionary Challenge - Following Judy's Lead
A week ago Photo Detective Maureen Taylor and Verissima Productions initiated a Kickstarter campaign to provide seed money for an ambitious project. (For those of you who don't know what Kickstarter is read a quick description from their website.)
Maureen Taylor wants to bring the face of the Revolutionary Era to a documentary.
Check out this video to see what it's all about:
Not long after, Judy Russell, CG, author of the Legal Genealogist blog, presented a challenge offering to match the donation of the first 50 contributors with a $5 pledge of her own. Please read Judy's post to learn her story and why this was so important to her.
Judy reached her goal!
I don't want that momentum to fade!
I am willing to provide a $5 match, just as Judy did, for the first 40 people who become a backer for the Revolutionary Voices Kickstarter project. All you have to do is donate $1 minimum and I will provide a $5 match. Then leave a comment on this post or send me an email and let me know about your pledge. After 40 people contribute at least $1 to the kickstarter campaign I will contribute another $200 to the project.
Some people have been having fun with their pledges. Maureen mentioned that she had received a pledge for $17.76 and another for $1776. Now that's getting into the spirit!
Why am I doing this?
Do I have the extra money just lying around to do this? No, not really. But this kind of project is important to me. Life is a participation sport and this is the kind of legacy I want to leave behind. I want people to say "Marian helped with that!" and "Preserving history is the kind of thing that Marian got passionate about!" Add in a mix of old photographs and the Revolutionary War and what could be more perfect and meaningful?
I hope you'll follow Judy's inspiration and help me contribute even more to this project!
Foot note:
Is there anyone after me who will take up the mantel after my pledge drive is done? Let's keep the momentum going!

Homophobia in France: Homeless for being gay
Issued on: Modified:
Antoine was only 17 when he was kicked out of his home in Picardy for coming out as gay. On the occasion of the International Day Against Homophobia, read our report on Antoine's plight.
Two years ago, Antoine was forced to leave his home in a town in the northern French region of Picardy after coming out as gay. He was 17 at the time. The young man remembers the night when his stepfather looked at his mother, and gave her the ultimatum, "It's him or me."
At the time, Antoine (not his real name) did not see his stepfather's words as a reason for concern. Up until then, everything at home was "going well". "What's more," Antoine said, "They had been seeing each other for barely three months, and I was her son."
Le Refuge is an organisation that provides housing and support to young men and women between the ages of 18 and 25 year old who have been the victims of homophobia.
Le Refuge exists in the Paris region as well as in the major French cities of Marseille, Lyon and Montpellier. The organisation's programme in Paris houses a total of 21 people, each for a period of around six months.
To reach Le Refuge's emergency hotline, call: +33 (0)6 31 59 69 50.
But the revelation that Antoine was gay came as an unwelcome shock to his parents. Although the young man had always known that he was gay, he had taken pains to hide it, explaining that in Picardy "people are not as forward-thinking as they are in [the capital] Paris".
"It was better to hide the fact that you were gay," Antoine said, "because it wouldn't have been well viewed".
From the moment his mother confided in her partner that her son was gay, though, everything changed.
"My stepfather wouldn't speak to me anymore, the atmosphere became very strained," Antoine said. His daily interactions with his mother's companion were peppered with insults, whether it was during a cigarette break or at the dinner table.
"One day, I touched his fork. He yelled 'Don't touch that!' as though I were contagious," remembered Antoine. "There were lots of other insults. Lots..."
Then, one morning, the young man's mother made up her mind. Antoine had to go.
"As time passed, I realised that my days at home were numbered," he said, explaining that somehow, he had known for some time that he would be the one to leave, and not his stepfather. "The worst part of it all was that I have two younger brothers who I knew I would never see again."
Cries for help amid debate over same-sex marriage
Since a bill legalising same-sex marriage and adoption in France was introduced last year, organisations like SOS Homophobie and Le Refuge, which provide support to victims of homophobia, have noticed a significant hike in cries for help from young people like Antoine.
According to SOS Homophobie's president, Elisabeth Ronzier, the organisation has received a 30 percent increase in calls during the year 2012 – a number she said has only continued to grow since the beginning of 2013.
"During the debate we received calls from people who told us they just couldn't take it anymore, but then we also got calls from people who had never been victims of homophobia before in their lives because they had always been accepted by their communities. The debate was the first time they had ever felt it," Ronzier told FRANCE 24.
Le Refuge, which gives housing to victims of homophobia between the ages of 18 and 25 who have been kicked out of their homes, has experienced a similar influx of demand for their services. Clio Léonard, who runs the organisation's programme in Paris, said that they received 200 calls in the month of December alone, or six times the monthly average.
"In Paris, we have 21 places and they've always been full, but we now have a waitlist for the first time," Léonard told FRANCE 24.
'I didn't know where to go'
Like so many of those who have called SOS Homophobie or Le Refuge in recent months, Antoine said he too just couldn't take it anymore. He couldn't imagine that his situation could possibly get any worse.
After being forced from his mother's home, Antoine headed to Paris where he said he discovered "a little earlier than most," the harsh realities of living on your own. There was finding a place to stay, food to purchase and rent to pay... After struggling to get by for several months, the young man decided to turn to his father, who also lived in Picardy.
"He welcomed me with open arms," Antoine remembered. The transition to living with his father went smoothly, and Antoine began to take comfort in the thought that the worst was behind him. Then, suddenly, it all came crashing down around him.
"One day, I was on the phone with my boyfriend when my father interrupted our conversation," Antoine said. The young man tried in vain to explain the situation, but his father wouldn't hear of it. Instead, Antoine remembered him shouting, "You have five minutes to get your things and get out!"
Another door slammed in his face, Antoine found himself in the streets once again.
"I had to sleep outside, it was really hard. I didn't know where to go," he said.
A slow recovery
The young man turned to his boyfriend, Tim (not his real name), who entreated him to return to Paris where he was staying at one of Le Refuge's sites. By "complete chance", the organisation had an extra space free at an apartment in the city's central 2nd arrondissement, where Tim just happened to be living.
After all he had lived through in recent months, however, Antoine was severely depressed.
"I thought about committing suicide. It's true, I just couldn't do it anymore," the young man said. "If I didn't have my boyfriend at my side, I wouldn't be here anymore."
While Antoine, who is still living at Le Refuge, knows that the organisation is only a temporary solution for now, he sees it as key to his survival.
"Things are going a little bit better these days even if, paradoxically, I miss my mom and my brother the most now," he said. "I will not go back, but I've learned to forgive. I am no longer angry with my family or society. It's the way things are. Anger has never helped anyone move forward."
"The law on same-sex marriage is a good thing," Antoine said. "One day I would like to get married too. And have children. My boyfriend and I joke around about it, but I would really like to."

(PDF Format).
The main Extravaganza field opens at 10:00 AM on Thursday. If you are coming on Thursday you may want to arrive early. The Indoor Antiques Market opens at 8:00 AM. The permanent merchants always bring in special merchandise for the Extravaganzas. At 10:00 AM the field opens and all exhibitors may begin selling. The buyers will rush in followed by trucks and cars of exhibitors to the non-reserved spaces. Many of the dealers are meeting customers for whom they have made special purchases. Unlike internet selling, customers will get to touch and closely examine merchandise they are interested in purchasing. Although customers have been in mind for certain merchandise dealers will sell to anyone. You are encouraged to ask questions and learn about the merchandise. Most antique dealers have a passion for what they are selling. Although you may see many people rushing about from dealer to dealer you may consider taking your time. So much is missed in the rush.
If you are looking for specifics, by all means, ask. Most exhibitors have merchandise in many other locations and cannot carry all their items with them. Also, many dealers may have different merchandise for different shows. Don't underestimate the vast network of antique dealers. They are not opposed to referring you to someone else. The hours for Friday and Saturday are 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Don't worry about missing everything by not shopping Thursday. Many dealers don't even put some of their items out until Friday. Saturday morning usually starts with an addition of 100 to 200 new exhibitors, replacing some that have moved on. Each day is a different and unique experience.
Dress for all weather. The show runs rain or shine. Pack a bag so you can shed or put clothing on. And above all, wear comfortable shoes. You will be doing a lot of walking.

|This article is about Meredith Sorenson, a TV character. You may be looking for Meredith Gates (Book Character).
|Meredith? Her name's Meredith? Ew. That's not even a cute-girl name- I'm seeing big pores and mousy roots.
— Hanna about Meredith
Meredith Sorenson was Byron Montgomery's ex-girlfriend and a former substitute teacher at Rosewood High School that he had an affair with. She was portrayed by Amanda Schull.
Meredith is seen in a flashback kissing Byron when they are seen by Aria and Alison.
Meredith re-appears in the Montgomery's life when she seeks out Byron again, ostensibly seeking "a recommendation." Byron introduces her to Aria and she asks Byron if he received her message. After chatting with Byron she tries to make conversation with Aria, but Aria coldly cuts her short. She smiles intensely at Byron and he smiles back. She leaves before Ella returns.
Meredith then befriends Ella. Ella introduces her to Aria but Meredith says that they already met. Ella invites Meredith to the opening that night. When Ella is out of earshot Aria confronts Meredith about her affair with Byron and tells her to find someone else because her dad is unavailable.
Meredith still shows up at the opening to Aria's dismay. Aria asks her if she forgot what they talked about. Meredith tells her no and that this isn't high school so Aria doesn't have a say in this. She tells Aria that she can do whatever she wants, takes Aria's glass from her hands then approaches Byron and Ella.
Meredith appears in Aria's flashback when she catches her kissing Byron.
Aria visits her father's office at Hollis College. She is about to leave a note for her father, when she sees Meredith lying barefoot on the couch of her father's office, lazily reading a book. Aria is not very suspicious, though she finds the woman's behavior odd. When Byron returns to his office, he expresses his surprise at seeing Meredith there, but acts coolly. Aria attributes Meredith's presence in his office to her father being so cool in the eyes of his students.
In this same episode, the footage of Aria discovering her father's affair is replayed, meaning that the precise date was just before Halloween 2008. When Aria returns home, Byron lets Aria know that he had tried to call her numerous times, obviously trying to prevent Aria from ratting out his affair. He announces that Meredith is dropping his class, implying that their relationship is ending.
Meredith appears, once again, in the second episode of the season, where she goes for a job interview at the same school as the Liars, much to Aria's dismay. It is later revealed that Aria and Alison went back to the office of Byron to try to find evidence about whether Meredith and Byron were still together. An earring is then found, leading Aria to become shocked and upset, and Alison to then suggest they trash the office, and making her father think it was Meredith's work. Alison finds a second earring.
In the present, Aria admits to Byron that it was really her and Alison that trashed his office. This leads to Byron telling Aria to meet up with Meredith and apologize. While Aria and Meredith are talking, Aria hands the earrings to her, explaining that she found them underneath her father's couch cushions in his office. However, Meredith tells Aria that the earrings do not belong to her.
Byron tells Aria that Meredith got the teaching job at Rosewood High, which unsettles Aria. This worries Ella as well.
Meredith is seen watching Aria and Ella through Ella's class room window door, indicating she thinks Aria told her mom about her involvement with the fire. She confronts Ella about it, but Ella tells her to stop jumping to conclusions. Meredith and Byron have a fight, which becomes physical when he grabs her burnt arm, and she leaves. She reveals to Aria that Byron gave her the page, that was in Aria's room, and that he visited her on the night Ali "died". Meredith tried to talk him out of seeing Ali, but he left. She is last seen helping Aria, since she has the flu, and asks her to keep what she said to her a secret.
Meredith is taking care of a sick Aria. She is acting friendly, but is revealed that she has been slipping drugs into Aria's tea and secretly searching for the diary pages. After Aria finds out, with Ali's help through a dream (or was it?), what Meredith is doing to her, she tries to get out of the house. Aria learns Meredith locked her in her room when she tries to leave. She goes back to sleep, holding a piece of a sharp mirror piece for protection, but when she wakes up, Meredith is standing over her with the mirror piece in her hand. When Aria escapes and ends up face to face with her, Meredith knocks her out and places her into the basement. When Emily and Hanna go looking for Aria, Meredith leads them to the basement but locks them in as well. When Byron arrives home, she tells him that Aria knows about him and Ali. She presumably leaves Rosewood, as Byron stated everything in her apartment was gone by the time the police got there.
Out of the Frying Pan, Into the Inferno
Meredith is mentioned by Byron that she has a long history of issues and hasn't been taking her medication and is currently getting help.

Romantic Relationships
Byron Montgomery
1st Relationship:
- Started: Before The First Secret
- Ended: Before Pilot
- Reason: Alison and Aria trashed Byron's office and Byron believed it was Meredith.
2nd Relationship:
- Started: Blood Is The New Black
- Ended: Misery Loves Company
- Reason: Meredith hurt Aria in a twisted attempt to save Byron.
Book - TV Show Comparision
- Meredith's character in The Pretty Little Liars book series goes by "Meredith Gates," rather than Meredith Sorenson. For some reason, the television series producers chose to change the character's last name, similar to the shift from Lucas Beattie in the books to Lucas Gottesman on television.
- After Meredith was introduced on the show, she was not seen again for one season, then returns after Ella and Byron divorce, while in the books, she gets together with Byron right away and gets pregnant.
- Meredith turns out to be mentally unstable in the show. She sedates Aria so she can freely look for some papers that could link her and Byron to Alison's death. She also punches Aria and later locks her and her friends in the basement. That event never happened in the books.
- Meredith never became a teacher at Rosewood High School in the books.
- In the books Meredith has dark hair, but in the show she is blonde.
- Meredith is the only female character in Pretty Little Liars who has a mental illness but is not A, or associated with A.
Aria [about Meredith]: What's her story?
Hanna [about Meredith]: Meredith? Her name's Meredith. Ew, that's not even a cute girl name. I'm seeing big pores and mousy roots.
Meredith [to Aria]: Listen, sweetie. I'm not in high school. You don't have a say in this.
Aria: What are you doing here?
Meredith: I'm applying for an open teaching position. Oh, don't worry, hon. I won't put you down as a reference.

Praise for Catch Rider
"Powerful writing propels a well-plotted horse story in Lyne's impressive debut...Everything comes together here—setting, dialogue, horse details and, most impressively, voice—so that the near–fairy-tale ending works; like the rest of the book, it feels absolutely true. A standout." [Starred review.]
— Kirkus Reviews
"For many girls, it isn't truly summer without a great horse book - Jennifer H. Lyne's Catch Rider fits that bill."
— Newsday
"Lyne delivers a thrilling and moving novel that is a fantastic story for anyone with a big dream and looking for the courage to keep trying."
— The Richmond Times-Dispatch
"Riveting, fast paced story..." (4 stars)
— Common Sense Media
Chosen by The Atlantic for the 2013 Summer Book Guide: "In this update on the classic girl-and-a-horse story, 14-year-old Sid is from the wrong side of the tracks, but she can ride with the best of them. She wants to be a "catch rider," or show rider, a dream that takes her to a very important event at Madison Square Garden."
"Girls and horses never go out of style. . . . Lyne fills her story with details about various breeds, horsemanship, and horse-riding competition, immersing readers into this very specialized world. The setting of a small town that is hard to escape rings just as true."
— Booklist Online
"Great dialogue...solid writing...there's plenty of rich, accurate show circuit detail to make the storyline ring true. (Readers) ...will be swept up by the challenges the resilient Sydney faces in the tack - and out of it."
— The Chronicle of the Horse
"I'm no horse expert, but this tale sure feels and smells like the real deal. It was a real page turner for me. Perhaps you know a book where there is resolution to the story but you are so into the characters that you are not ready to say goodbye...I'm sure hoping to see another book out of this debut author."
— Richie Partington, www.richiespicks.com
"There is a delight one can only get from writing that is authentic in all its aspects. The Virginia horse world, its rigors, rhythms, social mores, and strange beauty are all effortlessly conveyed in Jennifer Lyne's novel, the characters so true we can hear their breath."
— Chandler Burr, author, The Emperor of Scent

Jeffey Malone - I've an interest and a car that seats 4 passengers.
Revision as of 03:26, 16 November 2008
There is some interest in a field trip to a shooting range to shoot guns in a Safe and Orderly manner. If you're interested, list your name below, along with any time restrictions and whether you are able to drive a carpool. The nearest range to 83C is, to the best of my knowledge, Jackson Arms in SSF.
No previous knowledge or experience is required. If you always wanted to try shooting a gun, this is a good opportunity for that.
Date & Time
??? a weekend? Someone look up ranges and their hours, also whether they require a training course or not.
Interested Parties
Rachel (have access to shared cars so can drive one carful)
Meredith (I own a handgun and can teach fundamentals)
Daniela - would prefer to not drive
Cristina - I am free during the week after 5:30; I do not drive nor have a gun but I am more than happy to use one. I call shotgun!
skye (i have shot previously but only with a rented handgun. more experience would be fantastic.)
Jtfoote Been meaning to do this for YEARS!
Al - Can I bring my Taurus 9mm?
Al - I will bring my Soviet-era M44 unless otherwise directed :)
jim - jackson arms does not require previous training. they have a policy not to rent guns to people who come in alone without a gun. solos with a gun or parties of two or more are okay. there's a reason. i have a car that can seat four (including me).
quinn - i'm interested, and have shot at jackson arm a bit as well, but i don't have my own gun. i have trained a n00b there.
Mikael - Interested, but never did anything ever. No car, no guns, no experience.
Matt - Uh huh uh huh uh huh. Count me in.
jof - Have only done prone target shooting with .22 rifles.
Mark - I don't own any firearms, but I've shot many calibers of handguns. (At Jackson Arms) No Car, will need a ride.
Jeffey Malone - I've an interest and a car that seats 4 passengers.
Rigel interest, have no car, have no gun, but have shot them a fair bit as a lad so im not a n00b. fridays and saturdays are bad for me, but sunday or during other times of the week are good for me.

Winsted selectmen to meet tonight; revalution, public hearings on tap for discussion
WINSTED >> The town's assessor's office will not be the only department making a presentation at Monday night's Board of Selectmen meeting.
The board will hear from the assessor's office to discuss the recently released revaluation results at the meeting, as well as the process for appealing assesments. Scheduled by town manager Dale Martin, the presentation is one of three public hearings scheduled for the Monday night meeting, along with presentations by representatives for the Civil Service Commission and brownfields consultant Arthur Bogen on the status of Winsted's brownfield revolving loan fund.
The Selectmen will also have the chance to finalize a land donation on Oakdale Avenue in order to help remedy one of the town's shortcomings. Water and Sewer Board chairman Richard Nalette negotiated the donation of a parcel of land near the water booster station in order to install a backup generator. One of the generators used to support the pump had to be relocated for other town needs, leaving residents of Oakdale Avenue without electricity and water in the aftermath of Tropical Storm Sandy. Nalette's board has prepared an application to purchase another generator, but the donation is needed to provide enough land for the generator. The Planning and Zoning Commission already recommended that the town accept the parcel, which is 3,350 square feet in area, at their Nov. 26 meeting.
The board will also be asked to schedule a special town meeting on Jan. 7, 2013 to vote on Phase II of the Main Street improvements. Since the Board of Selectmen authorized the town manager to sign an agreement with the state to formalize funding, project cost overruns have pushed the final total to $1.65 million, which is above the agreed-upon $1.3 million state allocation.
Although the state has committed to fund 80 percent of the excess costs, Winsted will still be responsible for approximately $71,000 in overages. These funds will come out of Winsted's $90,000 allocation from the Local Capital Improvement Program. Since the additional allocation is above $15,000 and exceeds the amount provided in the budget, though, Winsted's charter dictates that the expenditures canot be approved until a town referendum. If voters reject the project, Winsted will have to refund approximately $200,000 in state funds.

Actress Raquel Welch last week got a pat down at O'Hare International Airport after her black-satin bustier set off the metal detectors.
The Chicago-born actress, in town to tout her new book, "Raquel: Beyond the Cleavage" couldn't get beyond security because of metal in her Dolce & Gabbana lingerie.
"It was hilarious," Welch's publicist, Julie Nathanson, said Tuesday, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. "Every alarm in the hemisphere went off."
The New York Post, which broke the "news" Monday, said that Welch was patted down by a Transportation Security Administration agent for several minutes in a clear, square box in full view of waiting passengers.
Welch later changed her clothes and caught her flight to Los Angeles.
"It was a little embarrassing. She probably isn't going to fly in a bustier any more," Nathanson said.

|Outlaw Audio Special "Sonic Boom" Offer
|Home Theater News - Subwoofer News
|Monday, 03 December 2007
the Holiday Shopping Season well under way, it's time for the Outlaws
to get into the swing of things with our December Flash Promotion.
Since everything seems to move at supersonic speed during the last
month of the year, we've decided to give Santa's sleigh a special sonic
boom that will come not from the speed of his sleigh, but from the deep
bass power of our LFM series subwoofers.
For two weeks only, between now and midnight on Friday, December 14th, we're giving the sound of Santa's sleigh a Sonic Boom with dramatically reduced prices that also put more boom in your budget:
The Outlaw LFM-2 Subwoofer
For powerful bass in small rooms, the LFM-2 is the clear choice. Its 8" driver and150 watt amplifier deliver performance well beyond what you would expect from a modestly sized cabinet. Now, the best gets even better with a 20% price reduction that lets Santa (with some help from Federal Express) bring you an LFM-2 for only $239. That's $60 off the everyday price!
The LFM-1 Compact Subwoofer
"Compact" describes the price and size of our LFM-1 Compact, but its performance is anything but small. Thanks to a 10" driver and 225 watt amplifier, you'll be shaking the tree down to 25 Hz for only $339, a $60 discount from the normal price of $399!
The LFM-1 EX Subwoofer
Thanks to dual ports, a 12" driver and a 350 watt amplifier the LFM-1 EX delivers accurate bass performance down to 16 Hz, but don't worry, as with all Outlaw Audio subwoofers it is down-firing, so you won't blow out any holiday candles! Between now and December 14 th, you'll save $100, bringing the LFM-1 EX to your door for only $549 plus shipping! This is the greatest price ever for our best subwoofer.
This year, Santa's boost comes from more than milk and cookies, thanks to these incredible Sonic Boom discounts on what are already the best subwoofer values on the market.

Ajuntament de Palma. IMTUR
Courtyard in the Palau March building
Ajuntament de Palma. IMTUR
San Pere i San Bernat Hospital
Ajuntament de Palma. IMTUR
Ca'n Solleric
Ajuntament de Palma. IMTUR
Ca'n Vivot
Palma, capital of the Balearic Islands, is a bright city, always full of surprises. Its has a maritime atmosphere and a wealth of cultural heritage. A good example of this heritage are the patios to be found at stately houses that abound in the old town. These are large houses with beautiful architecture that reflect Palma's identity. Come and discover them on a very special route.
Majorca is a privileged destination with close to 550 kilometres of coastline where you will find some of the most beautiful beaches and coves in the Mediterranean. It is also noteworthy for its artistic heritage with monuments such as Bellver Castle and Palma Cathedral. Here we suggest some other, more unusual, but equally charming sites to discover: the patios to be found around the city, which have led many to call Palma the city of patios. You can discover them on a walk through the old town or with the special route that is organised to celebrate Corpus Christi.
More than 40 patios
The beauty and unique nature of Palma's patios once captivated Jules Verne, who made them the setting for his protagonists' adventures in "Clovis Dardentor". There are more than 40 patios to be found around the centre of Palma. Many are located at public institutions such as the Museum of Contemporary Spanish Art, the Palau March Museum, the High Court or San Pere i San Bernat Hospital. Others, such as Can Oleza and Can Sureda, are private houses and their patios can only be seen through the gates, except during the Corpus Christi celebrations. They all offer rich architectural heritage that is a faithful reflection of Palma's history. They are also sometimes the setting for classical music concerts.
The origins of Palma's patios go back to the Roman period, but they took on more importance from the 13th century. At the beginning they were austere-looking, in Gothic style, but with the economic prosperity of the 17th and 18th centuries came far more luxurious, refined decoration in Renaissance and Baroque styles.
Special route during the Corpus Christi celebrations
During Corpus Christi, a religious celebration that takes place in May and June, a special guided route is organised that brings together Palma's 40+ patios on a walking route through the centre of the city that takes barely two hours.
Another option is to visit them without a guide. Here we suggest some of the patios not to be missed on your route: Can Berga, home to the High Court, is the largest of Palma's patios, and special mention should be made of the imperial staircase that links its three storeys. The patio of Oleza Palace, one of Palma's most beautiful buildings, and Can Vivot, with its red-coloured marble columns, are both fine examples of Baroque style. Can Pásquela, meanwhile, presents a mixture of styles with its 20th-century staircase, neo-Gothic windows and Baroque columns. Ca la Gran Cristina, setting for the Majorca Museum; Can Marquès, with clear Modernist influence; Can Lladó, of medieval origin; Marquès del Palmer, with a stunning Renaissance façade; along with Can Catlar del Llorer and Can Alemany, whose patios display their Gothic origins, are all recommended stops for your route.
To organise your visit, contact Palma's tourist offices. They will give you all the information you need about the most important patios and the best route to follow. In just a few hours you will be captivated by these charming patios.

Round Ocean Blue Chrysocolla Stone Ring in Sterling Silver Ring Sz 9 a Handmade Gift for Her
Stones First, Metal Second
What is that? Turquoise?
Nope! This deep mesmerizing blue green stone is called chrysocolla and the chrysocolla from the Inspiration Mine is particularly rare and special. The Inspiration mine was located near Inspiration, Arizona and was well known as a copper mine until this captivating gem was located. While the mine operated, chrysocolla was removed as they could. We are so lucky to have come across this gorgeous teal blue mineral.
While most Chrysocolla is soft and is stabilized with resins (ewww), this chrysocolla has a high opal content, making this gorgeous stone almost as hard as a quartz crystal and great for daily wear and adds a touch of nature to your outfit.
Do you love to wear jewelry but your work prevents you from wearing stones that stick up off your skin or could get stuck on things? Love looking at stones & jewelry but most settings have too much BS on em and look too delicate?

Stone name: Chrysocolla (chris-oh-cola) This chrysocolla is not a definite chemical compound but a hydrogel containing mainly SiO:, CuO and H2O, and minor amounts of Al2Q3, CaO and MgO. A cryptocrystalline phase is present in the chrysocolla, but its composition has not been determined. What this means is that chrysocolla is made of cryptocrystalline quartz (chalcedony), water and copper with traces of other minerals, making it similar to a jasper or agate in composition.

New roller coasters continue a lifelong love
Though there are few constants in life, one thing has remained with me since childhood: A love of roller coasters. While I now avoid such stomach twisters as those doggone Tilt-a-Whirls and the newfangled swing rides that spin so very very fast (Luna Park's Brooklyn Flyer will not see this backside again), roller coasters new and old never disappoint. Or make me sick.
My dad gets credit for this conditioning, taking me and my sister to our hometown Kennywood Park, in Pittsburgh, Pa., on multiple occasions as well as scheduling many vacations around amusement parks. One memorable fifth grade trip to Florida saw us hit thee parks there in a week: Disney World (my first time on Space Mountain), the departed Circus World (with an amazing wooden coaster) and Busch Gardens. (Where, incidentally, we three were trapped in a tiny car for what felt like hours in the hot sun on a broken octopus ride.)
To this day, my dad is always ready to hop on a boardwalk ride or revisit Kennywood, as we did last summer. No nudging was required to again ride oldies but goodies like the Thunderbolt, which bounces riders around much like Coney Island's Cyclone, and the much newer Phantom's Revenge, which I rode multiple times because this guy goes 85 miles per hour.
While I'll be at Six Flags Great Adventure in New Jersey later this summer, the perfect vacation would find me continuing from there to hit up some of the amazing new roller coasters that have debuted, or are about to, this year. One new trend are hybrids, wooden coasters that take advantage of steel tracks to take an old technology new places. You'll find these via Outlaw Run at Silver Dollar City in Branson, Mo., which park officials say features the only double barrel roll on a wooden coaster. Other hybrids are new to California's Great America in Santa Clara and Six Flags Fiesta in San Antonio, Texas.
Hydromagnetics are also becoming popular at theme parks to create water attractions that pull riders along a liquid "track." New Yorkers can head to Splish Splash in Calverton for Bootlegger's Run. Open Memorial Day weekend, that ride features four-person rafts and an initial ascent of 235 feet.
Take a look at all four of these rides (mobile users, head to newsday.com/travel), and have a summer filled with that amazing roller-coaster feeling.

Wallaby 0.16.0, which updates the Wallaby API version to 20101031.6, includes support for authorizing broker users with various roles that can interact with Wallaby in different ways. This post will explain how the authorization support works and show how to get started using it. If you just want to get started using Wallaby with authorization support as quickly as possible, skip ahead to the section titled "Getting Started" below. Detailed information about which role is required for each Wallaby API method is available here.
Users must authenticate to the AMQP broker before using Wallaby (although some installations may allow users to authenticate as "anonymous"), but previous versions of Wallaby implicitly authorized any user who had authenticated to the broker to perform any action. Wallaby now includes a database mapping from user names to roles, which allows installations to define how each broker user can interact with Wallaby. Each method is annotated with the role required to invoke it, and each method invocation is checked to ensure that the currently-authenticated user is authorized to assume the role required by the method. The roles Wallaby recognizes are
WRITE, or
ADMIN, where each role includes all of the capabilities of the role that preceded it.
WALLABY_USERDB_NAME is set in the Wallaby agent's environment upon startup and represents a valid pathname, Wallaby will use that as the location of the user-role database. If this variable is set to a valid pathname but no file exists at that pathname, the Wallaby user-role database will be created upon agent startup. If
WALLABY_USERDB_NAME is not set, the user-role database will be initialized in memory only and thus will not persist across agent restarts.
Standard authorization
When Wallaby is about to service an API request, it:
checks the role required to invoke the method.
checks the authorization level specified for the user. There are several possibilities under which a user could be authorized to invoke a method:
- the user is explicitly authorized for a role that includes the required role (e.g. the user has an
ADMINrole but the method only requires
- the user is implicitly authorized for a role that includes the required role (e.g. there is an entry for the wildcard user
*giving it
READaccess and the method requires
- the role database is empty, in which case all authenticated users are implicitly authorized for all actions (this is the same behavior as in older versions of Wallaby)
- the invocation is of a user-role database maintenance method and the client is authorized via shared secret (see below)
- the user is explicitly authorized for a role that includes the required role (e.g. the user has an
if none of the conditions of the above step hold, the method invocation is unauthorized and fails with an API-level error. If the API method is invoked over the Ruby client library, it will raise an exception. If it is invoked via a
wallabyshell command-line tool, it will print a human-readable error message and exit with a nonzero exit status.
if the user is authorized to invoke the method, invocation proceeds normally.
Authorization with secret-based authentication
This version of the Wallaby API introduces three new methods:
Store#del_user, and
Store#users. These enable updating and reading the user-role database; the first two require
ADMIN access, while the last requires
READ access. Because changes in the user-role database may result in an administrator inadvertently removing administrator rights from his or her broker user, Wallaby provides another mechanism to authorize access to these methods. Each of these three methods supports a special
secret option in its
options argument. When the Wallaby service starts up, it loads a secret string from a file. Clients that supply the correct secret as an option to one of these calls will be authorized to invoke these calls, even if the broker user making the invocation is not authorized by the user-role database.
The pathname to the secret file is given by the environment variable
WALLABY_SECRET_FILE. If this variable is unset upon agent startup, Wallaby will not use a shared secret (and secret-based authorization will not be available to API clients). It this variable is set and names an existing file that the Wallaby agent user can read, the Wallaby shared secret will be set to the entire contents of this file. If this variable is set and names a nonexistent file in a path that does exist, Wallaby will create a file at this path upon startup with a randomly-generated secret (consisting of a digest hash of some data read from
/dev/urandom). If this variable is set to a pathname that includes nonexistent directory components, the Wallaby agent will raise an error. If you create your own secret file, ensure that it is only readable by the UNIX user that the Wallaby agent runs as (typically
The Wallaby agent's authorization support is designed to prevent broker users from altering Condor pool configurations in excess of their authority. It is not intended to keep all configuration data strictly confidential. (This is not as bad as it might sound, since Wallaby-generated configurations are available for inspection by Condor users.) Furthermore, due to technical limitations, it is not possible to protect object property accesses over the API with the same authorization support that we use for API method invocations. Therefore, if concealing configuration data from some subset of users is important for your installation, you should prevent these users from authenticating to the broker that the Wallaby agent runs on.
Getting started
Here is a quick overview of how to get started with auth-enabled Wallaby:
- Stop your running Wallaby and restart your broker before starting the new Wallaby (this is necessary to pick up the new API methods). Set
WALLABY_USERDB_NAMEin your environment to a path where you can store the user-role database. Install and start your new Wallaby.
- If you're using the RPM package, it will create a "secret file" for you in
/var/lib/wallaby/secret. If not, you will need to set
WALLABY_SECRET_FILEin the environment to specify a location for this secret file and then restart Wallaby. The Wallaby secret is a special token that can be passed to certain API methods (specifically, those related to user database management) in order to authorize users who aren't authorized in the user database.
- Try using some of the new shell commands:
wallaby set-user-role,
wallaby list-users, and
wallaby delete-user.
- Make sure that you have a secret in your secret file. Make a note of it. Try setting the role for your current broker user to
NONE(e.g. "wallaby set-user-role anonymous NONE") and then see what happens when you try and run some other Wallaby shell commands. You can recover from this by passing the Wallaby secret to "wallaby set-user-role"; see its online help for details.
The default user database is empty, which will result in the same behavior as in older versions of Wallaby (viz., all actions are available to all broker users), but only until a user role is added, at which point all actions must be explicitly or implicitly authorized.

Even the Wiggles have been bitten by the Suarez bug, it seems.
The popular children's entertainers released their take on the Uruguayan player's recent World Cup antics.
Suarez is alleged to have bitten Italian player Giorgio Chiellini during a World Cup clash in which Uruguay beat Italy 1-0.
In a YouTube video entitled The Last Suarez Supper!, which is strictly for adults only, the Wiggles changed the lyrics to the Toreador song from Bizet's opera, Carmen.
Emma, Simon and Lachy the Yellow, red and Purple Wiggles, are seen in the video with towels placed over their arms like waiters.
As Simon sings "If Suarez is feeling hungry at the World Cup, He takes a bit," Anthony, the blue Wiggle, pops up miming with a fork as he pretends to eat a football.
Simon continues: "If his tummy starts to rumble at the World Cup, He takes a bite."
The parody continues and the Wiggles even name check the Italian player Suarez is alleged to have bitten on the shoulder.
"He loves the tasty dish of Italian Chiellini, A dash of salt and pepper on the shoulder, Oh yummy," Simon sings.
The Wiggles then replace the operatic refrain with the lyrics "Suarez! Suarez! Italian you will eat, Suarez! Suarez! Chiellini such a treat.
"Italian you will eat even if it's on two feet".
The clip ends with the three Wiggles brandishing red cards and with Simon holding aloft a trophy that resembles the World Cup.
The Wiggles are enjoying getting in on the current sporting action. Recently they performed their own version of the Red Hot Chilli Pepper song, Under the Bridge, ahead of the State of Origin II game.
The question now is, what will their next sporting parody be? perhaps Wimbledon?
One thing's for sure, they're not just singing about that Big Red Car any more.
Sorry we are not currently accepting comments on this article.

|Image from here. Actual boat!
A friend of ours turned 40 and through a series of connections we ended up being invited out on the most amazing boat for a night on Sydney harbour.
The glorious summer weather on Saturday created a beautiful canvas for the sparkling harbour. It was dazzling as we motored around on our party boat, exploring pockets of the intricate shore line. The spectacular sunset did not disappoint either.
The natural beauty of our landscape contrasted somewhat with the debauchery on board.
There was endless Moet served by a heavy-handed and overly attentive waitress; canapes that melted in your mouth; pole dancing demonstrations (with optional lessons) from a woman with an enviable body and guests dressed in sexy sailor attire (mine, acquired via eBay, was so slim-fitting that I had popped some of the press-studs off it by the end of the night! Talk about wardrobe malfunction!! Fortunately they were not 'crucial' buttons).
There was music and dancing and chatter and laughter and moments soaking in the atmosphere. Sigh.
It was a night to remember and one we will be hard-pressed to forget. Always nice to learn how the other half live.
Have you ever had a 'celebrity' moment? Tell us about it.

Introduction by Jane Farver
The Idea of the Moral Imperative in
I would like to start by quoting something I wrote some years ago. It
applies to the subject under discussion, but my interest in it here goes
beyond the content of the statement. The quote is "We live the alienating
myth of primarily being artists. We are not. We are primarily ethical
beings sifting right from wrong and just from unjust, not only in the
realm of the individual, but in communal and regional contexts. In order
to survive ethically we need a political awareness that helps us understand
our environment and develop strategies for our actions. Art becomes the
instrument of our choice to implement these strategies."
Though I believe it is a neat statement, I am not using it just to satisfy
my own presumptuousness. I am interested in what happened to the statement.
It appeared, at the time, on the cover of The New Art Examiner, with
big white letters on a violently red background, looking like a piece
by Barbara Kruger.
The use of positive euphemisms for words with negative connotations is
more often than not a sign of hypocrisy. In this case, the hypocrisy helps
hide the fact that we are organizing and prioritizing information so that
the consumer shares with us not what there is to share, but that which
we want to be shared. The shift of the action from ethics into aesthetics,
propitiates and confirms the delusion that it is only those decisions
pertaining to content which have an ethical quality. Ethics thus become
something literary, a quality frowned upon by visual aesthetics, which
can be dismissed.
Commercial marketing procedures of consumer products are much more straightforward
and honest. Their mercenary quality is upfront. A market is defined and
a product developed (or vice-versa) and the packaging is developed accordingly.
What, why, and for whom, are the leading questions, and only then comes
the appearance. We may not agree with the motivation, but there is an
ethical consistency. Any mistake in the answers to those questions ensures
economic failure, so they had better be correct The adoption of the same
questions in art would help to place ourselves in our society and clarify
when we are attempting to make a profit, affect society, or when we are
limiting our work to act as self-therapy. It is a clarity we gingerly
employ to dismiss (mostly the motivations of) schlock art and other marginalia,
but we are more careful when we address other cohabitants in the space
of our elite orGod forbidourselves.
This is not to say that ethics have no role in art today. But when issues
connected with ethics appear, unlike what happened in the pas', they do
so marked by the absence of an awareness of posterity. Speculation about
art issues leaves out a previously existing aim at atemporality. Doomsday
has abandoned the signs carried by the cartoon crackpots of The New Yorker
and marked a potential and credible end of history. As a consequence much
of the art being made has short term goals. Some art is produced to transform
artists into commercial and self-profiting icons, rather than to create
icons to serve cultural enrichment. Other art is produced to denounce
the end of history, rather than to create an environment where that termination
becomes an impossibility.
But, whatever the an historical interpretation of our present may be,
our art tradition has always been far from being drenched in ethics, even
in the cases where the concern is at present prone to catastrophe. As
artists we are easily enchanted by effects which may appear during work
and we do not have any scruples about pursuing them no matter how much
the subsequent results may contradict our original intentions. We rarely
challenge in depth the parameters which define art or the technical constraints
offered by art history. Though there are occasional ruptures, for the
majority of artists art has been an evolutionary process with much taken
for granted. But in the specific case of ethics even Walt Disney had surpassed
the notion of them being constrained to content. He forced symbolic values
onto form. In his work, things drawn with curves are cute and good. Things
angular are dangerous and evil.
If we really want to deal with ethics in art we will have to anchor all
the questions pertaining to the art-making processwhat, why and
for whom, with a later how? on a solid ethical foundation.
In certain environmentsfor instance those urged by a political crisisit
is conceivable that the act of taking a brush into one's hand, to restrict
production to accepted artistic techniques, may condemn all the decisions
following to be spurious and invalid. Only with a total ethical inquiry
covering every step of the art-making process, an inquiry not yet seriously
addressed by artists or art educators, may we have a chance of developing
a truly valid aesthetic for our time and environment.
"The Idea of the Moral Imperative in Contemporary Art" was delivered at a panel at the 1989 College Art Association Meeting held in San Francisco. Other panelists were Mel Perkarsky, Amy Baker Sandback, John Baldessari, Suzi Gablik, Jeff Koons and Robert Storr.

MONTGOMERY, Ala.—No. 24 Birmingham-Southern held off a late-game surge by Huntingdon to clinch a 45-38 win on the road in the fourth-annual Wesley Cup Game.
The Panthers move to 2-0 on the season, while the Hawks fall to 1-1. Today's game was nearly a replay of the end of last year's Wesley Cup face-off, but reversed, with Huntingdon having a chance to tie things up as the clock wound down. BSC scored on the final play of the game last season to tie it up, and eventually won in the second overtime. Today mark's BSC's third-straight win against the Hawks in the last four seasons.
The Panthers scored first in today's game when sophomore Michael Cowan caught a 46-yard pass from senior quarterback Jimmy Stainback at the 9:53 mark of the first quarter. Junior kicker Ryan Laughlin's extra point was good to put BSC up 7-0.
Huntingdon got on the board early in the second quarter on a 31-yard field goal by David Ballard to cut it to 7-3, and then took the lead with 2:17 left in the half on a one-yard run by Trevor Manuel, going up 10-7.
BSC answered less than two minutes later with a six-yard run by senior tailback Shawn Morris with 20 seconds left. Laughlin's kick was on the mark again, putting the Panthers up 14-10 at the half.
The Hawks took back the lead two minutes into the third quarter on a four-yard Manuel run to go up 17-14, but the Panthers responded on the very next play with a 69-yard run by Morris to go back up 21-17 at the 12:41 mark.
Laughlin connected on a 26-yard field goal at the 9:03 mark of the third quarter to increase the lead to 24-17, and junior Joseph Moultrie made a four-yard dash into the end zone with 1:01 left in the quarter to put BSC up 31-17 after another Laughlin extra point.
Huntingdon cut it to 31-24 with 12:45 left in the game on another short run by Manuel. On the next play, BSC answered with a 67-yard pass from Stainback to sophomore Sam Vermilyea, putting the Panthers up 38-24 with 10:44 left to play.
The BSC defense came up huge on the next play, as the Hawks advanced to the Panther one-yard line and ended up turning the ball over on downs. On the second play of the ensuing drive, sophomore Joseph Moultrie made a 99-yard run - a new BSC record - to the Huntingdon end zone to put the Panthers up 45-24 with 7:14 left.
The Hawks were able to score on the next possession when Neal Posey connected on a six-yard pass to Ephraim Johnson, cutting it to 45-31 with 5:02 left. After a BSC turnover, a 13-yard pass from Posey to Johnson cut it to 45-38 with 2:59 left in the game.
The Panthers were unable to score on their possession and punted with 1:20 to go. The Hawks advanced steadily down the field to the BSC 35-yard line, where a pass from Posey to Johnson was knocked down by senior Jordan Culliver as time expired to clinch the Panther victory.
Stainback was 11-of-16 with one interception for 265 yards passing, while Morris led on the ground with 123 yards and Moultrie added 111. Senior Aaron Sherrill led with 97 yards on four catches.
Posey passed for 388 yards with 26 completions on 42 attempts and no interceptions. Manuel led with 154 yards rushing, and Johnson had 173 receiving yards.
Laughlin was key for the Panther win today, going 6-of-6 on extra points with a field goal on top of that for nine points.
Senior Andrew Shannon led the BSC defense with nine tackles (five solo, four assisted), including 1.5 for losses of nine yards. Seniors Jake Robertson and Zack Lambert each had a sack. Senior Nick Gordon also recovered one of Huntingdon's three fumbles.
The Panthers return home next weekend to face Ave Maria University at 12 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 15, in Panther Stadium.

Tutorial: Recycled, Repurposed Ruffles (Scrap Embellishments)
A funny thing happened...the post about making envelopes from magazine pages? It got a pretty wildly unexpected response rate. Glad you seemed to like it! Here's a fun idea for a next-step: ruffles! If you are using your repurposed envelopes for gift giving or hand-delivered mail a little embellishment can go a long way.
While usually I have an aversion for all things needle and thread, this couldn't be easier, faster, or more simple - and adds a great touch to envelopes, bags, or other packages.
You'll need:
Magazine pages, paper bags, old maps or other paper waste
Tape, glue, or staples to secure your final ruffle/bow
1) Gather paper you wish to make ruffles from.
2) Cut paper into even strips - in this case about 1 inch each.
3) Thread your needle and tie off a knot at the end. In this case I used a thick embroidery thread because I like the look and sturdiness. To achieve a solid knot I knotted three times in the same place.
4) Sew evenly the length of the strip. For a smaller ruffle sew more closely together, for a larger, more wavy ruffle, sew further apart.
5) Once you've sewn the length of the strip of paper begin to gather the paper by pushing down, along the thread, toward the knotted end.
6) Determine how long you want your ruffle by measuring against your envelope or package. Knot off the other end of the string at that length. Trim sting ends and space paper ruffle evenly on the thread.
7) Attach your newly completed ruffle to your envelope or package of choice. Secure with glue or tape.
For a smaller ruffle: sew more closely together.
If you've already made magazine envelopes try using grocery bags to make a contrasting ruffle.
To make a layered embellishment try making ruffles of various lengths and layering them.
Of course, if you happen to have fabric scraps you could use them as well - there aren't any rules so as long as you're having fun you're doing it right!
Enjoy all your repurposing craftiness!

Best Accessories for the Samsung Galaxy S III
Many consider the recently introduced Samsung Galaxy S III to be Android's answer to the iPhone: it's big, bright, well-reviewed, and popular, winning an Editors' Choice Award from PCMag.
In fact, IHS iSuppli found that the S III's display is of higher quality than the renowned "Retina display" of Apple's iconic smartphone. Samsung has also confirmed that it will be bringing Android 4.1 Jelly Bean to the S III in the U.S., and users shouldn't have to wait too much longer for it. Is it any surprise that S III sales have risen an average of 9 percent per week, and actually spiked during the patent dispute between Samsung and Apple?
"The new flagship smartphone from the world's number-one mobile phone company, Samsung's Galaxy S III ($199.99-$249.99 with contract) for Verizon Wireless is literally a huge achievement," Sascha Segan wrote in his review of the Verizon model. (Note: although some aspects of the phone's wireless performance will be dependent on carrier, the reviews are virtually identical for AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, and Verizon.) "If you love big phones with lots of options, the GS3 will deliver state-of-the-art performance with bonus sharing and media features that you're likely to continue discovering a year from now. "
Like any phone, however, the experience can be augmented by key peripherals and accessories: a good speakerphone, a Bluetooth headset, and even a cable to show off the phone's pictures and video directly on your HDTV. And don't forget to check out our roundup of Cool Cases for Your Samsung Galaxy S III.
