VANCOUVER, B.C. – A pair of strikes from Darren Mattocks on either side of halftime secured a 3-1 win for the Vancouver Whitecaps over the Houston Dynamo on Sunday afternoon at BC Place.
The home side was in control through most of the game, but it wasn't until Jordan Harvey's late insurance goal that they could be sure of the result.
It didn't take long for Mattocks to open his account on the night, turning the ball into the top left corner of Tally Hall's goal following a fine cross from Young-Pyo Lee from the right, much to the delight of the Vancouver faithful.
Mattocks added his second in the 66th minute, finishing a play masterminded by a fine pass from Gershon Koffie. The Ghanaian midfielder received the ball from Jun Marques Davidson before hitting a perfect pass with the outside of his boot for Mattocks to run onto and finish.
Seven minutes from time, Macoumba Kandji belted home a finish from a Brian Ownby cross, but it wasn't enough as Harvey scored four minutes later to restore the Whitecaps' two-goal advantage and dash any hopes of a comeback.
There were other chances too – in the 29th minute, Joe Cannon shanked a kick, hitting the ball right into the path of Brian Ching. The U.S. international was quick to react, attempting a left-footed shot, but his effort went over the bar to the relief of a stranded Cannon.
In the 41st minute, Cannon redeemed himself, stopping Bobby Boswell from close range, by getting a strong right hand on the defender's effort to ensure Vancouver went into the break with the lead.
In the 57th minute, Chiumiento had a good chance to double Vancouver's lead, as he streaked into the left side of the area. His left-footed attempt came from too acute an angle though, and the ball went wide to the right of the goal.
Moments later, Will Bruin made a good run in behind Vancouver's backline down the right-hand chanel and similarly missed due to a tight angle, firing across Cannon's goal from close range.
In the 71st minute, the ball fell to Koffie in the box after Houston failed to clear a corner and the midfielder took a touch before hammering a shot at Tally Hall. The Dynamo goalkeeper stood tall, however, parrying the strike away to safety.
In the 84th minute Mattocks had an opportunity to hit a hat-trick, running between two defenders to get on the end of a ball from Koffie, but Hall reacted well to stop the rookie's low effort.
In stoppage time, Kandji hit a dipping shot from close range as he looked for a second, but Cannon got down quickly to stop the ball, meaning the match ended 3-1.
The Whitecaps, now 6-3-4, are next in action June 16, as they host the Colorado Rapids. The Houston Dynamo, falling to 4-4-4, also play Saturday, taking on FC Dallas back home at BBVA Compass Stadium (Buy Tickets).

Russia will conduct important Parliamentary elections this weekend. Yes, elections – with all the dangers and opportunities that elections hold for incumbent parties, including Prime Minister Vladimir Putin's.
Anyone who thinks that Mr. Putin's United Russia Party will cruise to power as the first step in his inevitable rise to dictatorship (after a projected easy victory in the 2012 presidential elections) had better think again. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Putin's party and his new Popular Front initiative (a coalition of his ruling political party, trade groups, and nongovernmental organizations) have sizable support. But his United Russia party does not have a majority and certainly not the constitutional majority of two-thirds of the State Duma, according to public opinion surveys.
Two opposition parties taken together – the Communists and Liberal Democrats – are favored by nearly a quarter of the electorate, and there are other parties vying for voters, too.
Putin will have to forge a coalition government among disparate factions to have any chance of governing effectively if he retakes the presidency next March after a separate election. That won't be easy, and the messy process is sure to disprove the Myth of Putin – that the former and likely future president plans to reconstitute the Soviet Union as his own, personal plaything.
Putin stepped down as Russia's president in 2008, became prime minister, and remains the country's most popular politician. He is widely seen as a man of the people, a veteran leader with a populist touch. His image is that of a fighter for the common man who can also stand toe-to-toe with other heads of state and negotiate successfully on Russia's behalf.
His political party, however, has not fared so well. Critics have labeled the United Russia Party the "Party of Crooks and Thieves." Its missteps, mismanagement, and stultification have caused it to fall in the polls. To remain a leading voice, it was in need of a serious overhaul.
And that's what Putin has done. Without much notice in the West, Putin reached out last May to allies, including civic groups and nongovernmental organizations, to form the Popular Front. His goal was to motivate the increasingly disillusioned electorate to back a refreshed and more unified ruling party.
The switch has helped. Opponents complain that the organization puts a new gloss on the old names and old faces of the past. But close examination reveals otherwise.
The Popular Front has turned out to be, well, popular. It has energized the fading United Russia Party by bringing new ideas and lots of new candidates – roughly half of the old guard has been replaced with newcomers. The party's decline in the polls appears to have finally been reversed.
Putin is also not the same person he was when he left the presidency nearly four years ago. He is eager for a new start with a broader – and different – set of advocates and proposals, some of which will not be welcomed by everyone. In particular, like every other major government, Russia will have to adopt some painful retrenchments of its public pension plans in order to stay fiscally sound. Putin has been unafraid to say so despite a likely public backlash.
In any case, the simple-minded notion that Russia will soon be subject once again to one-man rule is ridiculous. In fact, a good case can be made that Putin will have to deal with more democracy than Russia has had to cope with in its history.
He will probably have to compromise with several minority parties before he will even know who his governing coalition is. In addition, significant opposition parties will also remain in place to heckle his every move.
Putin is a strong man, but that does not mean that he will be Russia's strongman in a despotic sense. In fact, he couldn't even if he wanted. There have been bumps in the road and ongoing issues, but Russia has been on a course toward open markets and democracy for more than 20 years. Putin not only knows that, but he will face the situation head on when Russians go to the polls next month and speak for themselves.

It is so
Say it isn't so? I wish I could. This was what many of you expressed yesterday when news broke of Jesse James's infidelity reported first by In Touch Weekly after Michelle "Bombshell" told her story to the magazine. When this happened to Josh Duhamel and Fergie, they put on a united front and condemned the accusations, forcing their happiness on top of the scandal.
Sandra Bullock doesn't front like that.
There was no publicity whitewash attempt via People.com, no asinine statement of togetherness followed by an awkward display of handholding at Whole Foods, but near the end of the day, People.com did quote a source close to Sandy who says that she moved out on Monday. Which makes sense. Not only because her husband was unfaithful but because of the timeline. Usually the magazines try to close by Monday. So her team would have been contacted at the weekend by In Touch about the story. And now of course she's regrouping in seclusion. That, on top of the cancellation of her trip to the UK to promote The Blind Side, and the statement blaming "unforeseen personal reasons", and Jesse's cancellation of his Twitter account, leaves no other conclusion, no matter how much you want to live in denial.
Needless to say, Jesse James's past is now being called into question. I don't give a sh-t about the fine print. Suffice to say, what went down with Michelle Bombshell isn't entirely out of character. In the last 24 hours, I've also heard from multiple sources who allege that 1. Bombshell isn't the only one (it never is, is it?) and 2. Jesse allegedly drinks hard and smokes a lot of dope.
As for Bombshell, well, her crew is trying to float the theory that she was only with Jesse because he told her that his marriage to Sandy was a sham. He's a gifted liar then. Oh wait, let me guess...it's sex addiction.
These are photos of Michelle Bombshell in all her glory.

Schools and districts nationwide continue to invest in mobile technologies. The EdTechTeacher iPad Summit hopes to provide educators in this country and overseas with a forum to discuss how to leverage these devices in order to further empower teachers and students as creators of their own learning. "While there are some technical sessions," explains the EdTechTeacher team, "the focus is on creating effective pedagogy, enriching curriculum, and leveraging the device in order to support students and teachers as innovators."
|Photo: Tony Wagner
The keynote speaker at the conference is Tony Wagner, Innovation Education Fellow at the Technology & Entrepreneurship Center at Harvard. Wagner, an advocate for the need to better prepare students for 21st-century careers and citizenship, collaborated with noted filmmaker Robert Compton to create the 60 minute documentary,
The Finland Phenomenon: Inside the World's Most Surprising School System
Tony's latest book, Creating Innovators: The Making of Young People Who Will Change the World (Simon & Schuster), provides a powerful rationale for developing an innovation-driven economy. He explores what parents, teachers, and employers must do to develop the capacities of young people to become innovators. What role can the iPad play in their education? What additional professional development for teachers is needed? What examples of best technology practices can we learn from around the world? Tony agreed to discuss these subjects with me.
How has the iPad made learning in education more innovative, and how can educators use the iPad to achieve significant innovation in teaching and learning?
First, the iPad has made using most computer-based learning applications far more accessible and intuitive. You no longer need to take students to a special room full of computers for that occasional experience; you don't need to pull a laptop cart around the school. And students don't need hours of training to learn how to use the device or its applications. Assuming a decent broadband connection, most computer related work - researching, writing, sharing - can happen at any time and for every student, with little or no advance preparation. Secondly, the comparative ease of creating and distributing an iPad app, versus writing a program for a computer, has given rise to a dramatic increase in the number of education-related applications being created and disseminated. In short, the iPad has enabled greater access for both the education consumer and the creator.

I seek to address a personal style crisis
Elements of style crisis:
1. Bottoms
I used to be a trousers person, then about six years ago I turned into a skirt/dress person. Then I mutated back into trousers person. Now, it seems, I do not know how to wear either. I currently alternate between (i) a pair of old and not very flattering jeans (ii) Isabel Marant sand coloured skinnies when I emphatically do not have the body shape (= thighs) for skinnies, but I bought them so now I need to maximise wear; and (iii) a grey tulip skirt from Comptoir des Cotonniers c2006.
2. Tops
They are basically all stripy and having looked at some photos recently, I do not actually think the stripe is doing my matronly bosom any favours. I am confounded by necklines too.
3. Mid-section
Oh, this is the worst. Between top and bottom there is a sort of unprepossessing sagging, sausage like mid-section that looks very middle aged. This, of course, is what sack dresses are for. I should go back to the sack dress.
Today is fairly typical, though I am leaning forward and you cannot see the lumpy bosom (trust me, it is fully present):
(I make an exception for the man-repelling shoes. I rediscovered these in a cupboard after a good ten years of neglect and I love them)
I kind of know what I want to look like. I want to look like a Margaret Howell model crossed with an uncompromising Cork Street gallerist (though without too much assymetric Japanese nonsense). Instead I look like someone's mum who had an attack of amnesia on a trip to Jaeger then lived on the streets for a month. With an ill-fitting bra (is it ill fitting? I don't think it is, yet my bust looks all .. eh. Wrong).
4. Face
My make up isn't working. I can't even quite identify what it is, just that what used to look good doesn't any more. My skin is definitely drier, my foundation isn't quite right, I can't find a lipstick colour I like. I'm "trialling" a bright pink one for Facegoop and it's nice, but it throws the rest of my scabby face into sharp and unflattering relief.
5. Other
(i) I have developed a nervous habit of picking at dry skin and tiny blemishes on my face until they turn into giant weeping sores, which is absolutely delightful.
(ii) My wig is going quite badly bald and I am too impoverished to pay another £1000 for a new one. Given that the lead time for delivery is about 4-6 months, things are going to get a whole lot worse before they get better. I will need to investigate hats, or something.
(iii) My eyebrows are fading (and when they fade they fade to a garish orange) and need to be tattooed again, but again, money, time, opportunity to go to London.
How does one turn such a personal style crisis around?
1. By devoting oneself to good works and ceasing to be distracted by the shallow blandishments of vanity. This can easily be combined with eg. growing a beard or becoming an anchorite. Possible future perk: canonisation.
2. By pouring one's energies into having a nice looking house instead (hahahahahaha fat chance)
3. By returning, chastened, to the forgiving embrace of the Cos sack dress. And possibly inventing or acquiring some form of equivalent Cos head covering.
4. Picture in attic.
5. Other? I will take any suggestions. Be kind. I am feeble and in possession of a sausage-like mid-section.

Difficult. I cling to a fairly recent interview with (marvelleously good looking) Jane Birkin whose bestet fashion advice for mature women (it's all me, not you!) is to dress like a man "because you will look infinitely better than any man anyway". Brill!
And she lines her converses with lamb fleece soles so that she needs no socks even in winter. What a role model!

I think you look very gamine chic in that photo, actually. We are all hardest on ourselves. I'm turning 40 in approx. 15 minutes and cannot stop obsessing about my appearance even though I'm pretty sure that objectively I look not-half-bad.
If it were me I'd consider a bra fitting--the right bra will fix the matronly bosom and make inroads on lumpy-midsection issues. Then embrace whatever you best love to wear (Cos sack dress?) and mentally rebrand it as your "personal trademark," suggesting that it is a choice rather than a stroke of desperation. Rhetoric is everything!
J'adore Cruella's Jane Birkin advice but then, I love menswear anyway. . .
- 15 February 2013 at 16:17
I too have an unfortunate tendency to wear nothing but (a) striped tops (alternating with jerseys in unflattering shades of grey) and (b) the same jeans over and over. Necklines a complete mystery. For you, actually the scoop neck cut off on the sides by your cardigan or whatever it is in the lipstick photo is very nice, I think. Is this replicable in a single garment?
Also, I feel that there is definitely an answer to your lipstick quandary, and that it might be more like an actual straight-up red except a bit sheer. Or maybe take a little time machine to 1995 and something in the Black Honey vein? No doubt the relics of mid-nineties now have some way of being performed that renders them, as they say, "more modern".
- 15 February 2013 at 16:27
I think you look lovely in your crouching-on-toilet photo. But I do realise I'm not a cutting-edge style icon whose opinion counts for anything.
But re lipstick - I think the Black Honey clinique gloop suggestion is a good one. I think it's hard to carry off full-on matt lipstick from your mid-30s onwards. That was my experience, anyhow, as my skin and hair tones started changing. I look better now using a neutral pencil to line & fill in, then a sort of low-key gloss. Had forgotten about black honey but may have to try it or similar again.
Finally - bras... is this a practical fitting issue, or a recurring theme that may be more in the mind, I wonder? Like, I used to have a thing about my enormous head. Once eleventy-million people had looked at me blankly or in surprise when I mentioned it, I realised no-one noticed it but me.
I ask this as I've been reading some of your archive posts recently* so I can tell you the whole ill-fitting bra riff was definitely happening this time three years ago...
*revealed at risk of casting self in role of Scottish skinflint who cannot bear to pay to download reading material onto Kindle - but honestly, it's because I've only recently started reading your blog, I am enjoying it, and the friend who recommended it suggested catching up on some of the 'back story' might be a good idea...

It's winter, it's impossible to feel good about one's style in February... This is why they put fashion week in February, to distract us from our despair with shiny wintry things that we hope will resolve all these problems *next* winter
- 15 February 2013 at 19:45
I'm with Helen. It's February, who knows WTF they are in Feb? Not anyone normal.
Also, you have been in Paris, which is enough to derail any non-French person's sense of themselves as a stylish human being. Your sack dress looks great, it will come in when you can remember who you are :-)
I can't thnk of any makeup advice, other than exactly what you think looks hideous now will probably look fine come mid-March.
You could probably do with clothes and make-up advice because, frankly, who of us couldn't, but you are lovely and entertaining and have no idea how wonderful you are.
- 15 February 2013 at 20:04
NARS Dolce Vita lipstick is universally flattering, though not as bold as your current pink. Have you tried cleaning your skin with oil, or those ROC exfoliating pads?
I am in a style rut myself, so I have no good advice to offer in that department.

Firstly, you look tres chic. Really and truly. Secondly, I shall send you a photo of me and you will know what Thighs really are. I HATE the constrictions they place on me. Thirdly, I love Jane Birkin's advice via cruella and that's the way I'm veering at age 43 (but I was thinking more Kathrine Hepburn). and finally, fourthly (fourth?), I get it, it's what we do from time to time, reassess and all that, but from the outside you really do look pretty fab.

Do you need some tough love? I will give you some anyway.
You look great on those pics - small + slim, gamine, late 80s/early 90s indie. It is a 'look', and also 'to die for'. So stop moaning on about it (is this false modesty, or do you just post the least bad photos? You should see how I look right now).
Also the jeans are great. I follow a fashion blogger who has been seeking the 'ultimate boyfriend jean' for weeks and would love yours. And, what thighs?
Your face looks fine on the pics, but you know the answer there anyway (stop attacking yourself). I like the lipstick.
Going by the photos, the main problem is the wig - it is a bit unruly. Could you have it cut/restyled to tame it and disguise the bald bits, or does it just need a good blowdry? (NB I know absolutely nothing about this sort of thing). That might keep you going for a while intil you can afford a new one.
This was not very tough actually, so I will finish by saying get over yourself already.

- Waffle said...
Thank you all for your advice and non advice you are very kind and gentle.
Cruella/Michelloui - Do you think one can do mannish with a bust? Won't I look like a female bouncer? Maybe that's ok, but it's not gamine and Birkinesque really, is it?
Braithanlithe - I think you are right, I have intrusive bust size thoughts, often. I am not surprised they recur here. Also heehehehe 'crouching on toilet photo'. Every dating profile should have one.
J - I am quite literally going to go out and try and procure me this Nars lipstick tomorrow. New lipstick makes everything ok.
Mountainear - Yes! I love her. She is wonderful. Maybe she will rock up here and give me some advice? That would be amazing.
Margot - HA, yes, of COURSE they are the least bad ones. Maybe I should post the photograph I once took for my friend of the bizarrely increased size of my post-partum nostrils.
And just to say, the thighs in themselves are not so bad, I am not specially distressed by them, I do not have thigh dysmorphia it's just the size mismatch between upper and lower leg is really exaggerated, so skinny jeans look .. odd. Hasselhof-esque. Hasselhof = rarely a good look on a woman.
- 15 February 2013 at 21:56
I agree with J - NARS Dolce Vita lipstick is excellent. Also, you look beautiful and are rocking the gamine style.
- 15 February 2013 at 22:09
- That's Not My Age said...
I think you look fine, though it's hard to see the saggy middle bit/chestal area in that photo. My advice is buy a decent tailored jacket and wear it with jeans a la Jane Birkin.

- Margaret said...
You always look so pretty in these alleged "I am a hag" photos. My only beauty suggestion is the same one I have given you before: Buy a fucking full-length mirror and stop teetering on the toilet lid! You're going to kill yourself. Did you know that 98% of household accidents happen in the bathroom? Fact.
I'm so sorry about your balding wig--that's just karmically unfair. Can your hair stylist do anything with it?

- Alison Cross said...
I think you look luffly, but rest assured you are not alone with your clothing confusions. I too KNOW what I'd like to look like, but that image is totally at odds with living in a drafty Victorian house. So, inside my head I'm all chic with glossy hair, a waistband that lies FLAT, possessor of a pair of pert bosoms (not the pair currently tucked into my knicker elastic) and a quality wardrobe that I actually look forward to wearing.
The reality is that I wear skinny jeans, thermal leggings, a thermal vest, a long-sleeved top and a fleece. I look like an ewok's granny.
Lippy - I found a lovely coral-toned Chanel lippy. Name escapes me, but I feel that my face brightens up a bit when wearing it. Red makes me look like somene who might shag Wayne Rooney for a packet of fags.

Dear Waffle,
I think you look very French gamine, toilet perch notwithstanding! (Hope that the fact that this is coming from someone who only wears jeans regardless of event or function won't discredit observation!)
And I share with you a fridge magnet found last visit to America (where even I feel almost slender!):"I wish I was as thin as I was when I thought I was fat."
(And I have the photos to prove it!)
- 16 February 2013 at 14:38
HA yes, you're so right, Waffle - obligatory crouched on toilet photo is the way forward for dating profiles. Years ago, a friend persuaded me to try online dating and I made the mistake of using a recent holiday pic in which I looked happy, relaxed, natural & attractive. I was so swamped by guys who clearly hadn't read one word of my profile that after a fortnight I freaked out and closed my account. If I ever have to do it again (heaven forfend) I will employ a toilet crouching photo. I have lots of 'man repelling' shoes and fierce glasses almost identical to yours. But frankly the rest of your outfit is way too alluring. I shall wear my grey cagoule and a pair of bobbly joggers. That'll sort the sheep from the goats.
- 16 February 2013 at 15:05
I agree with other comments - you look chic and gamine to me!
But I do commiserate with you over what to do with a large bust (my gift/cross to bear too).
V necks generally work for an ample bosom, but will be too cold in winter, so a cardigan or jacket over whatever's underneath creates that shape for you. I found that an ancient suit jacket inherited from my grandma's second husband has been surprisingly successful for me - comfortable, flattering, sort of casual-smart. It is navy blue wool in an extremely subtle self-stripe weave, 2 buttoned, and occasionaly bristly as a length of horsehair (used for padding) emerges from the lapel!
By the way, I love the manly sized watch you're rocking in that toilet photo!

To follow up on my previous comment: I've been getting drier skin too as I approach 40 (GAH), and I've found good product recommendations in a book with a terrible title: How to Look Expensive (http://www.amazon.com/How-Look-Expensive-Gorgeous-Breaking/dp/1592407234). (btw the hair recs in the book are vague and generally crap, but those wouldn't apply to you, anyway.) The recs for skin care and makeup products (especially drugstore items) have all been winners, so far. Stuff recommended from this book, plus cleaning my skin with oil as described in this article (http://www.wholeliving.com/143427/oil-skin-cleansers) has worked. I no longer appear like I've got some sort of unfortunate face dandruff brewing that I'm attempting to cover up with nude-colored Spackle.
- 17 February 2013 at 20:00
Holy cats, woman! You are gorgeous. Very chic. Love the shoes.
I don't love the pink lipstick..blue undertone, maybe?
Otherwise, you really look adorable---wait, were you going for "adorable"?
Anyway-I wish I could pull off looking adorable!
- 17 February 2013 at 22:43
Having seen both these photos and met you IRL, I agree you are tres chic and gamine and other such positive French style concepts!
When the wonder that is M&S Per Una comes to Brussels, you should find plenty of deep V neck jumpers in a variety of purples, with fetching sequins to go with the glittery highlighter. There. You're welcome.
(I am attempting to revamp my wardrobe: would like to look like Joan from Mad Men, mostly look like a member of the WI.)

- Xtreme English said...
gevalt! I agree with all the commenters who say you look tres chic/gamine/lovely/French, etc.
What you need to do is take a trip to the middle of the USA and just eat salads until you've gained 40 or 50 pounds. (not possible? hah. just try it. we don't all eat french fries and grilled cheese over here.) When you're ACTUALLY really lumpy, then you can take "before/after" photos and see just how adorable you are now.

Matronly bosom? MATRONLY BOSOM??? Oh, my darling woman. You do NOT have a matronly bosom. I have a matronly bosom and it does not look like yours.
- 19 February 2013 at 03:05
You look amazing, putting most of us to shame. I love the Breton tee, vintage jeans, old leather boots look, and babe you carry it off to a tee!, Make up good too, but I do share the same dilema. I used to wear such and such, it bloody worked and I looked all natural and glowing and healthy, then I aged a decade and it makes me look clown like. I too am trying to figure out how, why, when and where the make up situation got so bad. I have tried cheap shite, expensive stuff - all of it is wrong, is it me?, is it my old age skin? christ I'm not 40 yet (but soon), oh god, I think it is the elasticity, or stress of parenting 3 boys, or the wine and rolls ups but god, my skin does NOT hold make up like it used to. I look shite. You should take a leaf from my book, when feeling shite, go to Liberty, Oh yes, Regent Street, and buy a Frederic Malle perfume. They wrap it up so well and you leave feeling blessed, that did it for me!!
- 20 February 2013 at 23:12
I think one of the problems is living in Brussels. I'm still amazed that this scruffy city is populated by so many stylish and beautiful people. Correction – stylish and beautiful women. Having a bad hair/face/clothes day is only made worse when you're confronted by Gisele Bundchen in the metro on your way to work. I advise temporary relocation to any industrial town in northern England. You will return to Brussels feeling suitably slim, stylish and beautiful. Guaranteed. Although be careful not to return with a tattoo and a new fleece.

I'm doing the lip-picking thing too, quite badly lately. I look as though I've got highly localised face-leprosy.
No fashion suggestions alas - that would be like the blind leading the sighted, frankly.

Why do you have 2 toilet brushes?
You should stop being so negative about yourself. Seriously, you don't need to be AT ALL!!! This must stop immediately. You look lovely. Your only problem is not believing it.
Just get fitted for a bra, stop wearing stripes and embrace your shape and those awesome boots!

A Stickney Situation
The war in Florida changed little in 1863. Despite a third, brief Union occupation of Jacksonville in March most military activity in the state consisted of Federal raids on the coastal salt making industry and the continuing Union blockade of Florida ports, many of which had been occupied by Federal troops since 1862.
By December 1863, while the military situation remained calm, politics in Union occupied areas of Florida were anything but peaceful. As 1864 approached, so too did the Union presidential election. Although Florida was far from being a Union military priority, for the first couple months of 1864 it would briefly be the focus of high power politics.
President Abraham Lincoln and his most prominent potential presidential rival within the Republican Party, Salmon P. Chase, considered the possibility of bringing a portion of the state back into the Union in time for its Republican delegates to support their respective candidacies. During this political drama, the most important player on the ground in Florida was Lyman D. Stickney, a Florida Unionist whose politics began and ended with self-interest.
Stickney's prospects in Florida began in 1860, when he arrived in the state promoting a colonization scheme to bring agricultural development to largely untamed south Florida. After Florida's secession and the failure of his colonial venture, Stickney, a Vermont native, made his way to the Federal enclave of Key West, where he quickly proclaimed his loyalty to the Union. Leaving Key West with "an unpaid hotel bill of $144.00" in June 1861, Stickney moved to Washington, D.C., and insinuated himself into government circles as an "expert" on all things Florida.
A talented lobbyist, whose cause was his own fortune, Stickney acquired a potentially powerful and lucrative position in July 1862, when President Lincoln, on the recommendation of Secretary of the Treasury Salon P. Chase, appointed him one of three direct tax commissioners for Florida.
The federal Direct Tax Law was a weapon of economic warfare. Passed in June 1862, the law called for the confiscation of any real property in Rebel held territory whose owners failed to pay the tax. The Direct Tax Law created three tax commissioners for each Rebel state where Union forces occupied a portion of the state. The commissioners would access the value of the real property within Federal control and impose a tax. Given that pro-Confederate citizens within these areas had usually fled or were unwilling to pay the tax, the tax commissioners ended up seizing their property and either selling or leasing it to Unionist Floridians or recently arrived Northern immigrants.
After his appointment, Commissioner Stickney wrote a number of letters to President Lincoln supporting the appointment of various men to federal positions in Union held areas of Florida and proclaiming his loyalty and "deep interest in the future destiny of Florida, of which I am a citizen…" Stickney was an enthusiastic supporter of the Union expedition to Jacksonville in March 1863 (see "Detour to Liberty: Black Troops in Florida during the Civil War" and "Florida and the Civil War: March 1863").
By the time the expedition set sail, he had established himself as a silent partner in a general store in Fernandina and shipped goods to the store at government expense under the cover of the Direct Tax Commission. He hoped the expedition would lead to the permanent Union occupation of Jacksonville and northeast Florida. In such an eventuality, he saw endless opportunities for profit, including trade in cotton and turpentine. Even though the expedition proved short-lived, Stickney did not relent.
On December 2, 1863, as he was about to board a ship for another trip to Fernandina, Stickney urged Lincoln "to authorize the loyal people of Florida to organize a state government in conformity with the Constitution and laws of the United States." He guaranteed that "the work of restoration will be speedy and permanent" if the president would allow "every person of lawful age, and not disqualified by crime, whose fidelity to your administration and your proclamation of freedom is unquestioned be a voter…"
If feasible, the early restoration of Florida to the Union, even if it was only a small portion of the state, could serve the Union cause as a magnet for discontented and Unionist Southerners living in Florida and Georgia as well as for escaped slaves, many of whom were now filling the ranks of the Union's increasingly numerous black regiments.
At the same time, a restored Florida could make a difference in the 1864 presidential election by throwing its Republican Party delegates to either Lincoln or Stickney's benefactor, Secretary of the Treasury Chase, whose presidential ambition was one of the worst kept secrets in Washington. Finally, and most importantly for Stickney, a Florida returned to the Union held endless possibilities for his own advancement, either financially or politically, as he would doubtless be one of the key leaders in a new, loyal Florida.
The pursuit of a reconstructed Florida was one of the motivating factors in the Union decision to mount yet another expedition to Jacksonville in February 1864. This expedition resulted in the Federal defeat at Olustee on February 20th. The Battle of Olustee, or Ocean Pond as it was known in the North, ended Stickney's dream of a Florida restored to the Union. Florida would not play a role in the presidential election of 1864, which saw Lincoln's easy capture of the Republican nomination over Chase.
Stickney's summer of 1864 was considerably less fortunate than Lincoln's. In July, a treasury department report criticized Stickney for being almost constantly absent from his duties in Florida and implicated him in financial and political corruption schemes. Indicted in 1865, Stickney, slippery as ever, managed to escape punishment and restart his professional life in the postwar economy.
The quote about Stickney's Key West hotel bill comes from David J. Coles, "Far from Fields of Glory: Military Operations in Florida, 1864-1865," (Ph.D. dissertation, Florida State University, 1996). The Stickney quotes are found in two of his letters to Lincoln dated October 27, 1863 and December 2, 1863; the original letters are located in the Robert Todd Lincoln Collection, Library of Congress.
For Sitckney's role during Union military operations in Florida see Stephen V. Ash, Firebrand of Liberty: the Story of Two Black Regiments that Changed the Course of the Civil War (New York: W. W. Norton & Company, 2008). A copy of the Florida Direct Tax Commission records are located in Record Group 101, Series 161, United States Direct Tax Refund Records, 1891-1901, State Archives of Florida.

Civet Coffee Concerns Gain Ground
—In honor of National Coffee Day, we present this article by World Animal Protection (formerly the World Society for the Protection of Animals), which we originally published in 2013.
—Our thanks to World Animal Protection (formerly the World Society for the Protection of Animals) for permission to republish this article from their site.
Since the BBC and WSPA first brought the shocking truth behind Kopi Luwak, or civet coffee, to mainstream attention around the world in September, thanks to your support, our campaign has been gaining ground in the last few weeks.
Civet coffee, or "Kopi Luwak," as it's known in Indonesia, is one of the world's most expensive drinks, selling for up to $100 per cup. It's made from coffee beans, which have been partially digested and then excreted by small cat-like mammals known as civets. According to coffee connoisseurs, this unusual production method is what gives the coffee its uniquely smooth taste.
The BBC have carried out a special investigation into the animal welfare concerns associated with civet coffee, featuring WSPA's Wildlife Expert Neil D'Cruze. Take a look at the report here.
We are pleased to share the good news that that London-based department store Harrods has now withdrawn the sale of its "Kopi Luwak" civet coffee. A number of retailers in Denmark and Sweden have also removed the coffee from their shelves. This is a great start to our campaign, but we still need your help. …

In the city, a bag full of rhubarb is the secret language of people with gardens in their pasts. Our garden gates were a row of peas on one side, rhubarb on the other. I was the pea cheerleader, a watchdog of their progress up my mom's hand-made trellis, a carefully strung contraption of dowels and kitchen twine.
Thanks to my reputation for gauging the peas' growth by eating them, I was warned away from the rhubarb whose big, billowy leaves I had been told were poisonous. Frankly, I wasn't much interested in anything that I couldn't pluck or pull right from the earth and stick directly in my mouth—even carrots, after a quick shake—that having the rhubarb off-limits wasn't a much of a loss.
Now, I treasure it. Even its most skinny spring stalks can survive a day being carted around Brooklyn in this writer's purse in an attempt to have it all: rhubarb and time with a good friend in one perfect Saturday with imperfect public transit. If you tell someone what to do with rhubarb, they will think that you know something and feel as if you have given them a gift. And if, say, you put rhubarb in a donut that's something to be proud of.
Rhubarb Vanilla Bean Donuts
adapted from Babycakes Covers the Classics (via Bon Appetit)
For the cooked rhubarb:
8 ounces (scant 2 cups) thin rhubarb stalks, sliced into 1/4 inch rounds
6 T water
- Combine the rhubarb and water in a small saucepan over very low heat.
- Stir frequently, cooking just until the rhubarb is completely broken down.
- Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly while you assemble the donut ingredients. You'll use about half of this for the donuts and about half for the glaze.
For the Donuts:
1/3 cup liquid refined coconut oil, plus more for oiling the pan
1 cup cane sugar
3/4 cup brown rice flour
1/3 cup garbanzo and fava bean flour
1/2 cup potato starch
1/4 cup arrowroot
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. xanthan gum
1/2 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. baking soda
6 Tbsp. cooked rhubarb (see above)
2 Tbsp. vanilla extract
1 vanilla bean, split and scraped
1/2 cup hot tap water
- Generously oil two donut pans (6 donuts each) with coconut oil and set aside. Preheat the oven to 325.
- Combine the sugar, brown rice flour, garbanzo and fava bean flour, potato starch, arrowroot, baking powder, xanthan gum, salt, and baking soda in a large bowl. Whisk until fully incorporated.
- Make a well in the center and add the cooked rhubarb, vanilla extract, vanilla bean seeds, coconut oil, and hot tap water. Stir until fully combined.
- Using a melon baller or a tablespoon, put 3-4 tablespoons of batter in each donut mold and use a toothpick to spread it evenly.
- Bake for 16 minutes, rotating once after 8 minutes.
- Allow donuts to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then remove them to a wire rack to cool completely.
For the rhubarb glaze:
1/8 cup rhubarb juice, from the remaining cooked rhubarb
1 1/3 cup confectioner's sugar
- Put the remaining cooked rhubarb into a fine mesh strainer positioned over a small bowl.
- Stir the cooked rhubarb to help separate the pulp and strain the juice. Reserve the pulp for another use or discard.
- Measure 1/8 cup of the strained juice (You should have a bit more than that. If you're shy, you can sneak in a little water to make up the difference.) and combine it in a small bowl with 1 1/3 cup confectioner's sugar. Stir until smooth.

CBD Oil Spray in Charlotte
CBD Oil Sprays And Skin Care Products By Hemp genix
With more research underway surrounding the endocannabinoid system and cannabinoids such as CBD and THC, many new methods for infusing products with cannabinoids are being developed. One of the most intriguing is in using them within CBD Oil Spray products.
Cannabis CBD Oil Sprays come in the form of lotion, salves, balms, and oils, all of which have been infused with cannabinoids. They absorb into the skin directly upon application. CBD Oil Sprays have only grown in popularity over the years. In fact, THC and CBD has even been utilized in general cosmetic products and even personal lubricants.
CBD Skin Care by Hempgenix in Charlotte
Applying cannabinoids topically will allow them to absorb into the body quite quickly. The relief is also more focused, generally only affecting the specific area where the product was used. On the other hand, smoking or ingesting marijuana affects the entire body, and it can take up to two hours for any effects to be felt.
CBD Lotion are only mildly invasive, and they make a strong entryway for those that are curious to dip their toes into the world of medical cannabis. The prospect of smoking or ingestion is quite scary to the uninitiated.
It's also worth noting that CBD Oil Skin Care In Charlotte are not psychoactive. The endocannabinoid system is activated, and any mind altering properties are blocked from entering the bloodstream. It's worth noting that topical dosages must be quite large. Since the skin of humans absorbs cannabinoids at a low rate, a liberal application is suggested as a workaround.
That said, CBD Oil Skin Care In Charlotte can work their way into the skin much easier than THC. They're also more likely to engage the receptors of the CB2 cannabinoids. As such, they have become quite popular for cannabis topical manufacturers. CBD Oil Spray contents have much more hemp than your run of the mill variety of marijuana. CBD Oil Skin Care In Charlotte has numerous benefits, included significantly lower toxicity.
CBD oil lotion is also quite popular since there are dual purposes at play. They'll smooth out and even soften the skin of the applied area. It's not uncommon for people to become very adamant that CBD Lotion in Charlotte become a regular part of their lives after trying it for the first time. The FDA isn't keen on any particular health claims being made of course, but it's hard to deny the satisfaction rate of those that have been using CBD Oil Spray thus far.
THC is quite well known, having been included in the conversation about marijuana for quite some time now. CBD Skin Care has become more prominent as of late thanks to plenty of research and trials however. There is still much work to be done towards achieving widespread understanding and use of topical products such as CBD Oil Skin Care in Charlotte , but it's clear that we're many steps closer than ever before.

WCBD Skin Care Products
Have you ever imagined using cannabis for your skin regimen? Well you'll be surprised to know that is in fact one of the most sought after skin care products today. Although the regular Marijuana is known for its negative effects, a CBD topical proves great for skin conditions. It is surprisingly effective if you follow the proper guidelines to using it.
Cannabis Essential Oil
The components of a CBD essential oil are very powerful. It includes monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes, and other organic compounds that are also highly active. This essential oil is green liquid and is primarily distributed from France and other European countries. However, the exportation of CBD essential oils is limited because cannabis is illegal in other countries. And because of its powerful effects, you'll only need a small amount of this oil to show its benefit.
This substance comes from the cannabis plant and has become a very popular essential oil in many countries. It has a wide range of benefits for your health problems like migraines, lack of appetite, stress, and even for your sex drive. For treating cancer, it is suggested to take three doses of this oil every day. But, you have to take note that cannabis is illegal in some countries so you have to know its consequences. Also, it is highly recommended to ask your doctor first before taking this essential oil to help with your health problem.
Wholeslae CBD Oil For Your Skin
CBD essential oils are a great way to protect your skin. Take note that it can be consumed internally or externally. Don't worry, you won't have the same negative reactions from Marijuana because these oils have low THC. If you want to stimulate shedding of dead skin in your body, have faster re-growth of healthy and glowing skin, prevent wrinkles, protect your skin from eczema and psoriasis, this essential oil will be able to give you the solution that you need.
Skin Aging And CBD
CBD topicals are proven to revitalize dry and aging skins. Our body has natural endocannabinoids which responds when the skin is irritated or damaged. CBD oils will help your skin as they interact with these receptors.
CBD As Antioxidants.
Since free radicals can damage your skin, antioxidants are needed to prevent it from these damages. According to studies, CBD has more vitamin A, C, and E and it is a potent antioxidant. Fighting wrinkles and fine lines from appearing is the job for antioxidants. As you are exposed from UV rays, smoke, and more pollutants everyday, they can damage your skin and will make your skin look older. These free radicals can also cause skin cancer.
CBD oils are great anti-inflammatories. If you accidentally trip and has some swelling in your ankles, applying CBD onto the injured area will remove the swelling.
Other Health Benefits Of CBD Essential Oil
Anxiety and Stress

CBD Lotion Skin Care In Charlotte
CBD Skin Care for Psoriasis
A lot if individuals who are turning to cannabis oil creams and CBD oil have become disenchanted with pharmaceuticals, steroid creams, conventional treatments, and self-injection methods. They have been put through the ringer, then a certain person persuaded them to try a CND cram and VOILA, results of varying degrees that were instantaneous.
One of the many side effects associated with conventional treatments, one which seem to be brought up quite often is the thinning of the skin which over time leads to damaged cells and skin weakness. CBD ointment, oils and creams, even if they were not to work, will not cause thinning.
When I use the word miraculous, I am referring to the fact that if you browse through various forums, you will find countless people who experienced positive results almost immediately. Generally, after having had years with minimal and even no results from orthodox treatments.
Although there were those who experienced a complete disappearance of their psoriasis, there we other who experienced various levels of improvement, For example, the psoriasis did not completely disappear, but the itching and inflammation did.
The biggest bit of advice that those who do experiment with homemade CBD creams give to others is that if it seems as if the cream is not working for you, it is probably due to it containing a weak CBD potency. Try using a CBD or THC oil that is stronger.
Eighty percent of those the individuals you will see feedback from claim that their psoriasis symptoms improved after they experimented with CBD and THC oils: redness, flaking, soreness, itching, bleeding, etc.
There are those who experience positive effects after smoking cannabis, however other opt for using THC and those who prefer CBD oils that do not contain THC or even CBD vapes. When it comes to this there are many options to choose from and they are promising!
Yes, you will stumble upon those who claim that they did not see any improvement at all. However they seem to be few and far in between, and generally it is they who also claim to have concocted their own remedies with the use of other oils and herbs. What is confusing is that even if you were to opt for giving it a try to treat psoriasis, there are countless other amateur recipes available.
Two Studies on the use of CBD to Potentially Treat Psoriasis
After browsing through various forums and search engines, here is what I was able to find. There are a few others out there; however it is not my goal to bog your mind down. Here are the studies:
Study Number One: Human Keratinocyte Proliferation is inhibited by Cannabinoids
The results show that even though a circumstantial role may be played by CB receptors in keratinocyte proliferation, there is no significant contribution they make to this process. The results indicate that keratinocyte proliferation is inhibited by cannabinoids, therefore supporting an important role for cannabinoids to help treat psoriasis.
Study Number Two: Topical THC and Anti-Inflammatory Activity
THC that is topically applied can effectively reduce contact allergic inflammation by lowering the pro-inflammatory keratinocyte derived mediators who orchestrate the immune myeloid cell infiltration that is independent from CB1/2 receptors. This offers major implications towards the future development of strategies that can harness cannabinoids as a way of treating inflammatory skin diseases.

An event we as firefighters and a nation hope never to witness again.

Firefighters from Berkeley were on street corners to raise donations for the families of the fallen firefighters of the FDNY.

It saddens and angers me that the air quality issue is impacting the expansion of the Harrison House Homeless Shelter.
