At the recent meeting of the World Evangelical Alliance's Mission Commission I presented a 25 minutes overview of several of the main features of Europe that we have been researching and which impact the mission of the Churches. One of those concerns work on the generational impact of the 20-29 year olds on trends relating to secularisation.
Six questions from the European Values Study (1980 and repeated in 1989, 1999 and 2008, the latter including 47 countries) form the basis for our 'Nova Index of European Secularity':
- Do you believe in God?
- How important is religion in your life?
- Are you religious, non-religious or atheist?
- How often do you attend religious services?
- How much confidence do you have in the church?
- 6. How often do you pray?
From these measures we believe that the 2008 data points to a 'developing post-Christendom identity', characteristic of people who have previously been, or who remain, 'Christian' but who presently have no institutional affiliation (or a very diluted form of it). The data represents a shift from 'Christendom' religiosity to 'post-Christendom' spirituality, rather than from 'Christendom' non–religiosity towards 'post-Christendom' spirituality. The newly 'spiritual' are not on a journey towards faith but instead are on a journey away from church affiliation. Whether this data represents a deepening of secularity or a mutation of religiosity deserves closer and more rigorous attention and debate.
The EVS data indicates a markedly irreligious generation of 50-69 year olds, best characterised as 'ideologically hostile' to religiosity. This generation is now beginning to retire from influential roles in the media, politics, education, and the arts. The havoc that these 'lost generations' have wreaked – in constructing a narrative of hard secularism – may finally be waning.
Our initial analysis supports the findings of other social scientists who suggest that the current generation of 20-29 year olds is reportedly less hostile to religion and religiosity but that this may be little more than a generation best characterised as 'benignly indifferent' to religiosity. This more 'open generation' may prove to be more amenable to creating the space necessary for a discussion of religion and religiosity within the media, politics, education, and the arts.
Where post-ideological commitments like this are held relatively lightly there may yet be scope for a considered exploration of the public value of religious belief and practice.


text: Dade Posted August 27, 2009 Dave Biography Dave Ball (38) Hometown: Los Angeles, Calif Occupation: Fitness Instructor "Danger" Dave Ball grew up in a family full of preachers but don't be fooled because he is not your typical "son of a preacher man." After he earned a degree in opera from Oklahoma State, this "rock and roll rebel" took many odd jobs to stay afloat including one as a flight attendant at a major airline. Although Dave's fiery personality may have gotten him into hot water more than once, he has a knack for reading people which has helped him through the rough spots. His innate intelligence has been honed through years of playing strategy games and his body benefits from the martial arts, biking and hiking he enjoys in his spare time. Dave is currently teaching fitness and nutrition to people who want to lose weight and improve their health. "It took me a long time to sort out my own health issues and if I can help others get healthy, then it will be worth it." Dave is the most physically fit he has ever been and he is counting on the element of surprise to propel him to the top of this game. After spending 10 years on the road, this journeyman says, "I've never been terribly concerned with money. I've always been more interested in making my life a rich experience. Having said that, I can do anything for a million dollars because that will set me up for life." Dave is single and currently resides in Los Angeles, Calif. His birth date is August 13th.

Setting the Record Straight
Unfortunately, years of misinformation from the fossil fuel industry have helped to generate several common myths about the benefits of biofuels. This anti-renewable energy campaign is designed to pit voters against clean energy and hide the real climate benefits of biofuels. We're offering the real truth behind some of the least credible myths about biofuels. To make an informed decision, it's important to understand the facts.

New York's 2012 hunting season was safest on record
The Associated Press
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — State officials say last year's hunting season in New York had the fewest number of shooting incidents on record with 24 people shot.
The Department of Environmental Conservation says two people died in hunting incidents, each when they were shot by another member of their hunting party. Of the 24 shooting incidents, just over half were self-inflicted.
There were no hunting-related shooting incidents during the first youth hunt for deer over the Columbus Day weekend.
The number of New York hunters has declined about 20 percent since the 1960s. Over the same period, the number of shooting incidents per 100,000 hunters has fallen more than 70 percent.
Over the past five years, the annual average is 5.3 incidents per 100,000 hunters, compared to 19 per 100,000 in the 1960s.

Genital Warts
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is one of the most common causes of sexually transmitted disease (STD) in the world. Experts estimate that as many as 24 million Americans are infected with HPV, and the frequency of infection and disease appears to be increasing. More than 60 types of HPV have been identified by scientists. Some types of the virus cause common skin warts. About one-third of the HPV types are spread through sexual contact and live only in genital tissue. Low-risk types of HPV cause genital warts, the most recognizable sign of genital HPV infection. Other high-risk types of HPV cause cervical cancer and other genital cancers.
Like many sexually transmitted organisms, HPV usually causes a silent infection, that is one that does not have visible symptoms. One study sponsored by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) reported that almost half of the women infected with HPV had no obvious symptoms. Because the viral infection persists, individuals may not be aware of their infection or the potential risk of transmission to others and of developing complications.
Genital Warts
Genital warts (condylomata acuminata or venereal warts) are caused by only a few of the many types of HPV. Other common types of HPV infections, such as those that cause warts on the hands and soles of the feet, do not cause genital warts. Genital warts are spread by sexual contact with an infected partner and are very contagious. Approximately two-thirds of people who have sexual contact with a partner with genital warts will develop warts, usually within three months of contact. Scientists estimate that as many as 1 million new cases of genital warts are diagnosed in the United States each year.
In women, the warts occur on the outside and inside of the vagina, on the cervix (the opening to the uterus), or around the anus. In men, genital warts are less common. If present, they are seen on the tip of the penis; however, they also may be found on the shaft of the penis, on the scrotum, or around the anus. Rarely, genital warts also can develop in the mouth or throat of a person who has had oral sexual contact with an infected person. Genital warts often occur in clusters and can be very tiny or can spread into large masses on genital tissues. Left untreated, genital warts often disappear. In other cases, they eventually may develop a fleshy, small raised growth with a cauliflower-like appearance. Because there is no way to predict whether the warts will grow or disappear, however, people who suspect that they have genital warts should be examined and treated, if necessary.
A doctor usually can diagnose genital warts by direct visual examination. Women with genital warts also should be examined for possible HPV infection of the cervix. The doctor may be able to identify some otherwise invisible changes in the tissue by applying vinegar (acetic acid) to areas of suspected infection. This solution causes infected areas to whiten, which makes them more visible, particularly if a procedure called colposcopy is performed. During colposcopy, a magnifying instrument is used to view the vagina and uterine cervix. In some cases, it is necessary to do a biopsy of cervical tissue. This involves taking a small sample of tissue from the cervix and examining it under the microscope.
A Pap smear test also may indicate the possible presence of cervical HPV infection. A Pap smear is a microscopic examination of cells scraped from the uterine cervix in order to detect cervical cancer. Abnormal Pap smear results are associated with HPV infection. Women with abnormal Pap smears should be examined further to detect and treat cervical problems.
Depending on factors such as their size and location, genital warts are treated in several ways. Although treatments can eliminate the warts, none eradicate the virus and warts often reappear after treatment. Patients should consult their doctors to determine the best treatment for them.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved imiquimod cream, which the patient can apply to the affected area, to treat genital warts. Other treatments include a 20 percent podophyllin solution, which the patient can apply to the affected area and later wash off, and a 0.5 percent podofilox solution, which also is applied to the affected area, but is not washed off. Pregnant women should not use podophyllin or podofilox because they are absorbed by the skin and may cause birth defects in babies. The doctor may also prescribe 5 percent 5-fluorouracil cream, which also should not be used during pregnancy, or trichloroacetic acid (TCA).
Small warts can be removed by cryosurgery (freezing), electrocautery (burning), or laser treatment. Occasionally, surgery is needed to remove large warts that have not responded to other treatment.
Some doctors use the antiviral drug alpha interferon, which they inject directly into the warts, to treat warts that have recurred after removal by traditional means. The drug is expensive, however, and does not reduce the rate of recurrence.
Low-risk papilloma viruses cause warts but not cervical cancer. High-risk viruses, however, cause cervical cancer and also are associated with vulvar cancer, anal cancer, and cancer of the penis (a rare cancer). Although most HPV infections do not progress to cancer, it is particularly important for women who have cervical dysplasia to have regular Pap smears. Potentially pre-cancerous cervical disease is readily treatable.
Genital warts may cause a number of problems during pregnancy. Sometimes they enlarge during pregnancy, making urination difficult. If the warts are on the vaginal wall, they can make the vagina less elastic and cause obstruction during delivery.
Rarely, infants born to women with genital warts develop laryngeal papillomatosis (warts in the throat). Although uncommon, it is a potentially life-threatening condition for the child, requiring frequent laser surgery to prevent obstruction of the airways. Research on the use of interferon therapy in combination with laser surgery indicates that this drug may show promise in slowing the course of the disease.
The only way to prevent HPV infection is to avoid direct contact with the virus, which is transmitted by skin-to-skin contact. If warts are visible in the genital area, sexual contact should be avoided until the warts are treated. Using a latex condom during sexual intercourse may provide some protection.
Researchers are working to develop two types of HPV vaccines. One type would be used to prevent infection or disease (warts or pre-cancerous tissue changes); another type would be used to treat cervical cancers. Clinical trials are in progress for both types of vaccines.

Cookies-and-Milk Party For Boy-Girl Twins
A Cute Vintage Cookies-and-Milk Party For Twins
A Cute Vintage Cookies-and-Milk Party For Twins
"Having boy/girl twins, I wanted to create a party that had touches of masculine and feminine to represent them both but wasn't too strong in either way. This can be very tricky!" says mom and interior, floral, and event designer Kimberly Francom. Kimberly started with a gender-neutral cookies-and-milk theme and added in both girlie and boy-friendly elements. "I used small doses of ruffles, lace, fresh florals, and coral, balanced with burlap, neutral tones, and distressed crates," she says. The result is a vintage, rustic party full of DIY details that would appeal to any cookie-loving child (e.g. all children)! Keep clicking for all the details.

In recent times a lot of controversy over environmental impact assessments, such as the ones concerning the Miramar Resort and the fourth-phase expansion of the Central Taiwan Science Park, have become a focus of civic groups, with large numbers of people getting involved.
The same is true of other controversies with environmental implications, such as the campaign to preserve the Losheng Sanatorium and opposition to the proposed construction of a freeway between Suao (蘇澳) and Hualien. These issues often point to a single clash of values.
The question is, between economic growth on the one hand and the environment and culture on the other, which should get top priority? Perhaps the question should be what is economic growth really for?
Taiwan is a country where economic language crops up all over the place. President Ma Ying-jeou (馬英九) even talked about the economy during the celebration of the 350th anniversary of a Taoist temple.
In his speech, he predicted that the nation's economic growth this year would be higher than last year. He also said that the stronger the religious atmosphere in a country, the more helpful it would be for economic growth.
While watching a hot-air balloon take off during the chilly New Year's Day flag-raising ceremony, Ma was moved to say that he was full of optimism for Taiwan's economic prospects, and that he hoped that Taiwan's happiness index and economic growth would soar up high just like the hot-air balloon.
In economics, a country's growth rate is often expressed in terms of changes in the GDP or gross national product (GNP). That is part of the ABC of economics, but is economics no more than a game of imperceptible numbers? Are things like the environment, culture, labor conditions, employment and education merely cost factors that stand in the way of growth?
Former US attorney general Robert Kennedy's remarks in a speech given not long before he was assassinated show that he clearly understood the limited significance of measures such as GDP and GNP.
"Our gross national product ... if we should judge the US by that — that gross national product counts air pollution and cigarette advertising, and ambulances to clear our highways of carnage. It counts special locks for our doors and the jails for those who break them. It counts the destruction of our redwoods and the loss of our natural wonder in chaotic sprawl. It counts napalm and counts nuclear warheads, and armored cars for police who fight the riots in our cities ... Yet the GDP does not allow for the health of our children, the quality of their education, or the joy of their play. It does not include the beauty of our poetry or the strength of our marriages; the intelligence of our public debate or the integrity of our public officials … it measures everything, in short, except that which makes life worthwhile," Kennedy said
Even Simon Kuznets, who pioneered the measurement of GNP and was awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics in 1971, repeatedly cautioned people not to read too much into the numbers.
"The welfare of a nation can scarcely be inferred from a measurement of national income" and "Distinctions must be kept in mind between quantity and quality of growth," he said.
Even if Taiwanese keep on talking about economic growth at every possible opportunity, please let the nation learn how to achieve the kind of growth that allows everyone to really feel the benefits. That will permit society to develop in a sustainable way.

The death of Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist just days before Senate confirmation hearings for John G. Roberts Jr. set off a scramble in Washington yesterday and presented President Bush a historic opportunity to put his stamp on the Supreme Court for decades to come....What will be more important to Bush, appointing someone who will shape the law for decades or using the appointment to affect his current political standing? Obviously, the effect on the law is far more important, and, in fact, to make the decision he wants and let the chips fall where they may is what Bush usually does.
As they sift through names, White House advisers are weighing whether it would be better to announce a nominee quickly or to wait until after the situation in the Gulf Coast is better in hand and the Roberts confirmation process is finished. With his poll ratings at an all-time low, gasoline prices at a longtime high and U.S. troops suffering rising casualties in Iraq, Bush confronts a perilous point in his presidency.
As to the timing, what is the political advantage of waiting? Is the theory that he will be more popular in a month or two, so he ought to drag his heels and leave the Court without a Chief Justice? He might as well make the announcement quickly, while there are so many distractions keeping opponents from getting much attention. He's already been through the list over the Roberts nomination, and I can't believe he wasn't fully prepared to have this second appointment this soon.

Wow! That was a fast month! With the boys going back to school, USM classes beginning, and football season starting, we have had a full month. I did get some stitching accomplished as well. I have been working on the same few patterns, but my progress is great.
First, don't you just love the Anniversaries of the Heart series by Blackbird Designs? The first and second block are finished. I added my Mother-in-law's info to the January block. February is a big month in our family. Let's see, my son's, grandmother's, and grandfather-in-law's birthdays are all in February. And, of course, so is my birthday. I had to limit this project to just the immediate family, parents and grandparents. I also have a sister-in-law and two nephews that have February birthdays.
I am also making great progress in the Bent Creek Snapperville series. This is an old series, but I just love the theme and colors. Just two more blocks and the border to go...
And, my favorite project this month has been Shakespeare's Peddler Jenny Bean Humble Servant Sampler. I just love the colors in this one. To be honest, it was slow going at first. The upper left corner took me longer than I expected. But once I got to the letters and bee, I was hooked. Just a little work on the border and the lower right corner to go. This is such a sweet piece. I think I will frame it and hang it in my guest room.
I did have a complete week off this month. I didn't have classes to teach, fish to videotape, children to entertain, etc. So , I signed up for two sewing classes at our local quilt store. The first class focused on applique quilting. I have never done this, so thought it would be a great class for me. I had the best time. We were working on a quilt named Hooterville. It is so cute. These are my first two blocks, so forgive the lack of technique. But I am hooked. I have finished all of the tree squares and am working on the 16 owl squares. It is actually a lot of fun, but I can only do one square a day. Can't wait to finish this quilt.
The other class was a "Chubby Charmer" class where we learned to make a large bag. I used a bunch of scraps from some other projects. The best part is that I learned to machine quilt. So my week off was a great time.
Have a great weekend and thanks for stopping by.

CES 2012 is set to be the year of the television.
But not just any television, the annual consumer technology conference is set to see the launch of ultra-thin televisions and ubber-intelligent ones -- or smart TVs.
Details of the new version of GoogleTV were already released this week when it was reported that the Mountain View-based search company was trying to revive its once defunct project by partnering with Samsung, Sony and Vizio on a new set box.
Google will reportedly partner with Marvell on a new ARM-based chipset for its new box instead of continuing its relationship with Intel.
The new box will be cheaper, faster, capable of decoding 1080p HD video and even be 3D ready.
Meanwhile Apple will be avoiding CES like Google but the Cupertino-based company is also a hot topic in the smart TV rumor mill.
LG is scheduled to show off a Google-powered television at CES. Sony and Samsung will join LG in showing off smart TVs.
Apple's Senior Vice President of Industrial Design, Sir Jony Ive, reportedly already has a 50-inch AppleTV set sitting in his private office at 1 Infinite Loop.
Many expect that Apple will announce a television later this year. But TV makers at CES will have Apple on their mind.
Meanwhile at CES, several companies will also once again be showing off 3D television sets. Some of the smart TVs being shown at CES, like LG's, will also include 3D capabilities.

Chuck Is Reading In Seattle, WA Tuesday Night!
UPDATE: Here is the website for the event with more info!
It seems Chuck is doing a reading event in Seattle tomorrow (Tuesday) night at the University of Washington.
Tuesday night, July 29th
7 pm at Kane Hall
The University of Washington campus
The event is free, but limited tickets are available at the University Bookstore. (I'm not sure what that means exactly). I'm in contact with the woman planning the event now, so I'll try and post more details as they become available to me.
In the meantime, apologies for the last notice on this one. We were never given any information about it. Probably because I don't think it has anything to do with Chuck's 'Snuff' tour. Chuck is teaching there this week for Clarion West Writer's Workshop. This reading must be part of that event.

5 stars who won't be playing at the World Cup
PARIS (AP) — They are some of the biggest names in soccer, or on the verge of becoming a star, but they won't be playing at the World Cup next year.
These are five players whose absence will make the tournament in Brazil a poorer spectacle.
There is no point watching the World Cup because Ibrahimovic won't be playing in it — at least that's what he says.
While the striker has always been his own biggest fan, he does have a point that the tournament will not be as exciting without him.
The 32-year-old is in the best form of his career and has shown his full repertoire of spectacular goals: martial arts-style volleys, overhead kicks from 30 yards out, dipping shots from all angles. In the last calendar year, he has scored 47 goals for Paris Saint-Germain and Sweden — including four hat tricks. He has also set many up with his clever flicks.
The Welsh winger will be hoping he doesn't follow in the footsteps of his illustrious countryman Ryan Giggs — who won everything with Manchester United but never played in a World Cup.
The 24-year-old Bale is starting to find his best form with Real Madrid after his world-record $132 million transfer from Tottenham at the close of the summer window. Last season, he scored 21 league goals for Spurs, and his combination of power, searing pace and an incredibly hard shot make him a nightmare to play against. Defenders in Brazil will be thankful that they won't have to deal with him.
The Borussia Dortmund striker burst onto the scene during last season's Champions League when he outshone Cristiano Ronaldo to score four goals against Real Madrid in the Champions League semifinals. The 25-year-old Pole has 63 goals in 110 league appearances for Dortmund and is widely recognized as one of the best forwards in Europe. But he is crying out for a chance to showcase his talents — strength, close control and a poacher's instinct — on the international stage. Unfortunately, Poland had such a tough qualifying group that it ended up finishing fourth behind England, Ukraine and Montenegro.
With over 100 international caps, the Chelsea player has long been established himself as one of the top goalkeepers in the world and has proved a veritable rock for his country. At last year's European Championship, he kept the Czechs in the game with a series of stunning saves against Portugal in the quarterfinal — until Ronaldo beat him with a late goal. His reliability, strength coming out on corners and set pieces, and his stunning reflexes mean that when you score against him, you have really earned it. Strikers will be happier that he's not around in Brazil.
Major tournaments usually reveal a rising star: the 20-year-old Enzo Scifo for Belgium and Denmark's mercurial Michael Laudrup in 1986. Laudrup was 21 when he shone in Mexico, the same age as Christian Eriksen is now. His silky skill and quick-thinking brain have drawn comparisons to Laudrup, and Eriksen is seen as the future of Danish football. But a qualifying group with Italy and the Czech Republic meant that Denmark was always going to drop points, and it failed to make the playoffs as one of the best second-place teams. Eriksen will never know if he could have emulated Laudrup.

Gracie is a name I've known for a long time but have only rarely been treated to spending time with and observing. It is indeed always a treat. She blew the doors off at the naming ceremony. Fantastic.
Anen is played well. Sticks to the character, but knows how to flex where needed to interact with others without breaking his character.
Though it was really early in the month when we spoke, Miranda's enthusiasm about necromancy has been infectious!
With Sasee it feels like there's been something new to be learned with every meeting - good, bad or sometimes just wtf?
Yanyu for being the epitome of steadfastness to Gorethar.
Telina for being the awesomeness that is Telina!
I cast a vote for Koral the nixie!
Splash the bone goblin!
Kynes. Can't remember what his first name is, because it doesn't matter. But his RP ... that's memorable.
T. Esmond D. can make it high epic fantasy or nuts-and-bolts real. Don't see that kind of range very often.
Braq - Chiefy's put so much effort into getting the tribe off the ground it's impossible not to want to give him a pat on the head an nudge him encouragingly towards the next tribe in need of slaughter...
Tybalt has been a great help in developing sides of my character I hardly realized were even there!
Alielle's attention to details have made me examine spells a bit more closely, and research has been very fun to help with.
The childish look about everything of Koral is amusing.
Earang has had a big influence on Tor back when they first met til now. Always fun RPing with her, no matter what is going on.
Arcadia just confuses the crap out of Tor! One moment a nice nice calm picture of innocence.....the next moment swearing like a sailor and shooting lightning bolts from her eyes! Never know what to expect a lot of times with her. Whole lot of fun and confusion rolled into one!
Earang has been a complete delight to RP with recently - leading to some wonderful character growth and many, many hours of fun.
Gracie Dane is a rare gem who exemplifies class and sophistication.
Geris maintains a firm foothold in the darkly terrifying corner of Avlis and although it seems old Annihilators can be taught new tricks it hasn't made him any less formidable. Gulp!
Tor is an absolutely great character whether raging in battle or relaxing telling great stories of Tyedu and past events in the overly warm 'southlands'.
Thorfinn - always the hero.
Arcadia - she has heart a true follower of Cha'reth.
Everyone who went North that was epic.
Darius - want some candy little girl?
Istrin - quick wit!
The trade fair was great! Welcome back to all those who have returned Avlis missed you!
There have been so many people I have enjoyed roleplaying with in October, it is a shame I cannot vote for them all - so I shall just say a huge thankyou to everyone who has been around on Wilderness, you are all amazing.

There were many pseudo-hippie, jam-oriented blues rockers in New York during the early '90s, but only the Spin Doctors made it big. And they made it big because not only could they immerse themselves in a groove, they also had concise pop skills. "Little Miss Can't Be Wrong" and "Two Princes" were cleverly written singles, full of clean, blues-inflected licks and ingratiating pop melodies. Pocket Full of Kryptonite had been around for nearly a year when MTV and radio began playing "Little Miss Can't Be Wrong," but once they started playing it, they couldn't stop. The Spin Doct...

Blackout Blinds & Shades for Room Darkening
- Best choice for complete darkness
- Blocks 99% of incoming light
- Great for bedrooms and home theaters
- Tight-fitting inside mounts block the most light
- Many styles to darken your space
- Watch our video on blackout shades
Blackout shades and blinds block nearly all incoming light with cellular shade, roman shade, roller shade, woven wood, pleated shade, panel track and skylight choices. Although sometimes called Blackout Blinds, a light blocking blackout effect is best achieved with shades, as they block the most light with a tight-fitting inside-mounted opaque shade. Blackout Shades eliminate maximum light seepage with specially woven material or with the addition of a liner to create a darker space than the subtler Room Darkening Shades. Custom blackout blinds provide the darkest blackout experience available.

For all the back and forth between Democrats and Republicans over why budget talks broke down, the clearest political message from the negotiations is: we don't give a damn about younger Californians.
That message was sent clearly by both parties. Democrats, without much debate or visible consternation, took an axe to higher education opportunity, cutting $1 billion from the University of California and the California State University. And Republicans successfully fought off temporary tax extensions that would prevent further cuts to higher education and K-12 schools.
Gov. Jerry Brown promised to enact an all-cuts budgets if he couldn't get the tax extensions. If he surrenders as promised, the community college system has made plain that it will be unable to enroll 400,000 students, according to today's Los Angeles Times.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Yes, 400,000. That's not a misprint.
Before the parties complain that this wasn't a choice, look at what both sides were not willing to do. Democrats refused to go along with changes in the pension system for public employees -- a plain choice of the old over the new. Republicans refused to even go along with asking today's voters -- who are mostly older people (average age approaching 60) -- to pay for a better California future.
One often hears complaints in Sacramento that a particular policy will drive people or businesses outside the state. But there seems to be a bipartisan consensus that young Californians who want to educate themselves should leave.

TAMPA — Oaklawn Cemetery contains the graves of a governor, cattle barons and mayors, along with servants, pirates and victims of yellow fever. Yet for all its seeming egalitarian sentiment, it still reflects the rigid race and class divisions of its era — gentry over here, riffraff over there.
Tombstones of Confederate veterans line the main path like sentries. Epitaphs drip with Old South melancholy: "Death, like the dew from Heaven, fell quickly yet gently on this drooping flower.'' Some say more by what they omit: "Adam, A Black Slave Lynched 12/16/1859.''
But no epitaph is more intriguing than this one:
Here lies
Wm. Ashley and Nancy Ashley,
Master, and Servant,
Faithful to each other in that relation
in life, in death they are not seperated.
Stranger consider and be wiser,
In the Grave all human distinction,
of race or caste, mingle together
In one common dust.
To commemorate their fidelity to each other
this stone was erected by their Executor.
John Jackson, 1873.
Those are 63 astonishing words. A white man and former slave share a grave in ground reserved for Old South bourbons. What a bold testament to the human spirit and the power of love. The more you learn, the more remarkable it seems.
In the book Tampa, Karl Grismer wrote that Ashley, a Virginian, came to Tampa in 1837 and sold supplies to Army troops. In 1856, he was elected Tampa's first city clerk. Nancy was a slave from Georgia.
The assumption has long been that they lived clandestinely as husband and wife. Historians have called them "sweethearts,'' and Tampa's official guide to the cemetery says as much.
Some have been skeptical, though. In Afro-Americans of Hillsborough County, 1870-1890, Julius Gordon said Nancy was William's "concubine.'' Indeed, this relationship didn't start with chocolates and roses.
Was this exploitation cloaked in the oft-repeated euphemism that the servants were "like family"? In the spirit of the epitaph, let us consider.
The censuses of 1850 and 1860 list only William in his household. No wife, no children. Slaves were inventoried like livestock in the Slave Schedule, catalogued by age, sex and color — black or mulatto. We find Nancy here. The 1850 Slave Schedule showed Ashley owned one slave, age 40, female, black.
Seven years later, Nancy is cited by name in another, albeit private, document — William Ashley's will.
He ordered a plot be purchased for himself, along with "the body of my servant girl Nancy when she may die,'' and that, upon his death, she receive "all my real and financial estate'' and her freedom. That was generous at a time when a dead owner's slaves were routinely sold or handed down like heirlooms.
This was explosive stuff in 1857. Tampa was coming apart at the seams as the nation moved inexorably toward war. Amid the peril around them, William thought of Nancy and how she would fare if he were gone. He took steps to provide for her and ensure she would be free. What's more, he made it plain that he wanted them to be together for eternity.
In Real Women of Tampa and Hillsborough County, Doris Weatherford gives William credit for being monogamous, unlike some of his married neighbors with slaves on the side. "Neither law nor custom allowed such emotions to be openly acknowledged, . . . and courageous men such as William Ashley were extremely rare. He speaks to us from the grave about what truly matters.''
Why didn't he just free Nancy in 1857? If they were lovers, freeing her would have destroyed what they had, and possibly endangered them. Marriage was illegal, and the community, though it probably knew about them, would never have tolerated Ashley living openly with a free black woman. Slavery offered cover.
The war freed nearly half the state's population, Nancy among them. Yet she stayed with William, perhaps daunted by the prospect of starting anew in her 60s in the post-war turmoil.
Something happened five years after the war that must have been bittersweet indeed. The 1870, the U.S. Census counted Nancy by name, as a citizen, not property. It noted she was a cook and could read.
William died the following year, on Oct. 30, 1871, and Nancy's health began to fail. She wrote a will on Aug. 8, 1872, leaving everything to her nephew and other relatives. She asked for "a respectable burial,'' evidently something she felt she needed to demand amid the intensifying racial strife and oppression.
John Jackson was executor of both William and Nancy's estates. A former mayor, Jackson had known William for years; in 1847, he had surveyed Tampa streets and named Ashley Drive after William. Jackson had been a lieutenant in the Silver Grays, a home-guard of men too old for the Confederate Army. Canter Brown's Tampa in Civil War and Reconstruction says he was allied with opponents of Reconstruction.
Nevertheless, probate records show he scrupulously carried out his friend's wishes, paying for doctor visits and 19 months of "attendant'' care for Nancy until May 31, 1873. Then he paid for her coffin and her burial.
With a post-war power struggle raging, Jackson had a lot to lose by helping bury a black woman in a white man's grave. And yet, he did it. Not only that: He had it carved in stone and signed his name.
The 11 lines bear a trace of remorse, as if written by someone realizing, too late, the ruinous consequences of past decisions. He was circumspect — as a man grappling with mixed emotions would be — but his words ring true. And they point toward love.

When the Sisters of St. Francis of Philadelphia opened the doors of Our Lady of Angels College in September, 1965, the total enrollment was 115 female students. Today, as Neumann University (NU), the college educates nearly 3,000 co-ed students, engages over 13,840 alumni, and is one of the largest employers in Aston Township, PA.
Since 1965, the College has met the needs of its students, even beyond its initial traditional undergraduate programs. In September 1971, a program for adult women was initiated-this program is now known as the CAPS degree accelerated program allowing adult students to earn their bachelor's degree faster by utilizing six-credit courses in an online or evening format meeting one night per week. Also in 1971, the administration responded to the need that women needed safe, professional daycare for their children while they attended classes. A child care center opened on the third floor of the main building and quickly evolved into the current Child Development Center (1973) accommodating pre-school aged children. In 1980, the Board of Trustees approved the name change from Our Lady of Angels to Neumann. The name Neumann College seemed fitting given the significant role that then Bishop John Neumann had in assisting the Sisters of St. Francis of Philadelphia in the early days of the Congregation. Also, in 1980 Neumann formally accepted its first male undergraduate students. In 1985, the Thomas A. Bruder Jr. Life Center, housing the Bruder Gymnasium and the Meagher Theatre, became the third building on the Neumann College campus.
Expanding undergraduate degree programs and initiating graduate programs became the goal to ensure academic growth. In 1982, the College was granted approval to award a Master of Science degree in Pastoral Counseling, followed in 1987 by permission to grant an Associate of Arts degree in Liberal Studies. Master of Science degree programs have since been developed in the areas of Accounting, Education, Nursing, Physical Therapy, Sport Business, and Strategic Leadership. In 2004, the College was granted approval to offer its first doctoral program, the entry-level clinical Doctorate in Physical Therapy (DPT). In 2006, approval was granted for the College to offer its second doctoral program, the EdD in Educational Leadership. In late April 2009, the College received approval (the certificate of authority) from the Pennsylvania Department of Education to become Neumann University. According to former President Rosalie Mirenda, "University status is the culmination of Neumann's transformation. It is a catalyst for enhancing scholarship, research and service to our community. At the same time, Neumann's commitment to its mission, core values and personal attention to our students remains the same." In 2013 Neumann was granted approval to offer a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) program in Pastoral Counseling.
For Neumann to provide a holistic experience for its undergraduate students and to assist with the growth goals, a residential program was approved by the Board of Trustees. When the first residence hall opened in 1997, the building housed 177 students and transformed campus life. There are now three Living and Learning Centers on campus, and an adjacent apartment complex (Buoni Building) leased for student housing, all together having capacity to house students.
In 2004, Neumann University acquired a 46,434 square feet office building located at the Concord Road entrance of the campus from the Sisters of St. Francis of Philadelphia. The newly named Rocco A. Abessinio Building now houses additional classroom and office space. Neumann University opened the Mirenda Center for Sport, Spirituality and Character Development on October 17, 2009. Located on its main campus in Aston, Pennsylvania, the Mirenda Center features more than 72,000 square feet of space including an arena, classroom, meeting and event rooms, exhibits, offices, and athletic facilities. This new, state-of-the-art facility was named in honor of Dr. Rosalie M. Mirenda and her husband, Tony, by the Board of Trustees in acknowledgement of the Mirendas' many years of hard work, dedication, and commitment to the Catholic Franciscan identity and mission of NU.
Seeking to unify an ever-expanding campus, the St. John Neumann Circle was created to connect the original Bachmann Building and the Bruder Life Center on one side of Convent Road with the Mirenda Center and Student Living and Learning units on the other side of the road. On April 1, 2010 two commissioned statues were placed in the circle. The most prominent, on a high base and at the Circle's center, is of St. John Neumann, the namesake of the University. The second, at ground level and facing the students who walk from the Living and Learning Centers and the Mirenda Center, is a representation of a Sister of St. Francis of Philadelphia, the sponsoring Congregation.
In 2014, the focus on academic excellence and student learning continued. A two-phased library renovation was completed. The first phase of the project was completed in 2012 with the addition of new learning and study commons areas on the third floor, the creation of a media-enhanced classroom designed to seat ninety, and offices to house the Neumann Institute for Franciscan Studies, endowed in 2000 by the Sisters of St. Francis of Philadelphia. The final phase of the project was completed in time for the start of the fall 2014 semester, as the University's fiftieth anniversary celebration began.
In 2016, a new $5million, 10,000-square-foot addition to the Bruder Life Center was completed. The addition, named the John J. Mullen Communication Center, was built to support students in the Communications and Digital Media (CDM) major and students who join Neumann Media to explore their creative talents. The Mullen Communication Center houses two TV studios with the latest camera, broadcasting, recording and editing technology; Wenger rooms with sound isolation for recording and editing; a student meeting room; a green room; and a multipurpose hall with theatre-in-the-round capability, smart board TVs, giant projection screens, and more.
In spring 2017, Forward with Faith, a special campaign, was begun to honor the legacy of former President Dr. Rosalie Mirenda, and her husband, Tony, for their years of leadership, vision, and commitment to students and the University's Catholic Franciscan mission. The campaign has three components. A 25,000-square-foot Student Life and Health Sciences Center, an addition to the Rocco Abessinio Building, will be built to facilitate the education of nurses, physical therapists, athletic trainers, and exercise and nutrition specialists. The Campaign will also enhance the endowment for the Institute for Franciscan Studies, ensuring Neumann University's Catholic Franciscan character and identity through integration of mission into the University's academic instruction. The third Campaign component will enrich the endowment for the Institute for Sport, Spirituality and Character Development (ISSCD), founded in 1999, to ensure its unique and distinctive ministry that supports the practical application of the role of sport in the spiritual, faith, character and leadership development of student athletes.
(Last Update: 8/25/2017)
Neumann University is sponsored by the Sisters of St. Francis of Philadelphia. The educational mission of the University is shaped by the tradition that inspired the lives of St. Francis and St. Clare of Assisi. Neumann University seeks to provide an education that balances the liberal arts with the professions in an environment which promotes the development of men and women who will embody the Franciscan values of reverence, integrity, service, excellence, and stewardship. These values are evidenced through relationships that recognize the uniqueness and dignity of others, and through a sense of responsibility and stewardship as a citizen of the local and global community.

University Goals
Always and everywhere, Neumann University strives to:
- Demonstrate a firm commitment to the Catholic Franciscan tradition.
- Nurture a campus community which lives the values of Reverence, Integrity, Service, Excellence and Stewardship.
- Challenge its students to achieve personal, academic, and professional excellence.
Seal and Motto
In anticipation of the opening of Our Lady of Angels College in 1965, Sister M. Theresa Clare, Sr. St. Joseph and Sr. M. Everilda Flynn, along with others, worked with Livingston Publishing Company in Narberth, PA to create the motto and seal of Neumann University which aptly demonstrates Neumann's ideals.
Veritas-Caritas: To Live the Truth in Love
The motto Veritas-Caritas receives its origin from Paul's admonition to the Ephesians: "Rather let us profess the truth in love, and grow to the full maturity of Christ the Head" (Ephesians 4:15). It expresses a dedication to principles formative of mind and heart.
The concept is likewise found in the seal which is highlighted by the Gospel Book surmounted by the Chi-Rho, representative of Christ, the Source of All truth and Truth itself.
The Tau (Greek letter "T"), supporting the Gospel Book was often used by St. Francis of Assisi. For him it was a symbol of the cross and salvation; for us, it becomes a challenge to live a life rooted in Christ.
The Crown, encircling the Tau, symbolizes Mary, Queen and Mother, placed before us as a model of the virtues embodied in the mission of Neumann University.
The Globe is significant of the scope of influence possible to those involved in the educational process at Neumann University, founded in 1965.
The whole is enclosed in the traditional Franciscan symbol, the Knotted Cord, expressive of the vowed dedication of the Sisters of St. Francis of Philadelphia, the founders of Neumann University.
In early notes, circa 1964-65, we find suggestions for elements to be included in a seal. The inspiration appears to be the phrase from Ephesians 4:15 noted above: "It embodies the total Christian program of life; meets the Scriptural and the Apostolic emphasis of this age." The motto, Veritas, Caritas is noted as "distinctively Franciscan insofar as St. Francis made the Gospel his way of life, and declared to his brothers: 'A man has only as much knowledge as he puts into action.'" Other Franciscan elements: the Tau, was used extensively by St. Francis in his writings; the Cord "while distinctly Franciscan, is also a uniquely universal sign since the Franciscan way of life is the Gospel Life." (This is why the Gospel rests on the Tau). The final Franciscan element, the Crown, recognizes Mary as the "Queen of the Franciscan Order."
Code of Conduct
The code of conduct is a general statement of behavioral expectations built on the values espoused by the Neumann University community. Specific policies follow from the code. Because the Neumann University Community affirms the uniqueness and dignity of each person, any conduct that violates the dignity of another person, including threats of violence, verbal or physical; assault or abuse of any kind; hazing or harassment, including sexual harassment; lewd, obscene, or indecent language, behavior, or representations found offensive by others; or discrimination against another based on race, color, creed, sex, age, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, or disability is a violation of the Code of Conduct.
Because the Neumann University Community values a scholarly, supportive, and caring environment, any conduct that violates the pursuit of a scholarly, supportive, and caring environment including obstruction or disruption of institutional activities or of the individual pursuit of learning; the damaging, defacing, destruction, of the property of another; the theft of the property of another; or the unauthorized entry into or use of University property is a violation of the Code of Conduct. Because the Neumann University community reflects the spirit and values of Francis by developing a sense of responsibility, any conduct that violates the stated mission and values of the University or local, state, or federal law; the forging or altering of University records; the furnishing of false information to the University; failure to respond to the instructions of University personnel in the pursuit of their duties; or disorderly, irresponsible behavior of any kind is a violation of the Code of Conduct. Neumann University reserves the right to take disciplinary action against anyone who violates the Code of Conduct up to and including the addition of twelve points to the disciplinary record (dismissal) from the University.

The telecommunications industry is creating and funding front groups which pose as consumer organizations and aggressively lobby to kill net neutrality, journalist Lee Fang revealed in an article published in Vice on Friday.
"We've known since the beginning of the net neutrality debate that the phone and cable industry has been willing to spend limitless amounts of money on public relations firms, think tanks, and 'astroturf' groups who will then do their bidding," Timothy Karr, senior strategy director for media justice organization Free Press, told Common Dreams in response to the report.
Industry front groups have led the drive to overturn net neutrality and block a grassroots push to reclassify the internet as a public utility—a designation that could bolster efforts to protect the open internet, Fang's article revealed.
The American Consumer Institute, a professed consumer organization, has aggressively lobbied the FCC against such reclassification. As it turns out, annual tax returns reported by Vice show that this organization is financially backed by an internet service provider lobby group.
If you think a better world is possible, support our people-powered media model today
The corporate media puts the interests of the 1% ahead of all of us. That's wrong. Our mission? To inform. To inspire. To ignite change for the common good.
If you believe the survival of independent media is vital to a healthy democracy, please step forward with a donation to nonprofit Common Dreams today:
Broadband for America, which describes itself as an organization of 300 members "ranging from independent consumer advocacy groups, to content and application providers, to the companies which build and maintain the internet," has also opposed naming the internet a public utility. $2 million of the organization's $3.5 million budget comes from the National Cable and Telecom Association, according to a disclosure obtained by Vice.
The Heartland Institute, also working to kill net neutrality, receives major funding from Comcast, AT&T, and Time Warner Cable, the reporting revealed.
"The groups exposed in the Vice report have been known to take industry money and then generate press releases, studies and others reports favorable to the phone and cable industry's positions, and they are not alone," said Karr.
He added that grassroots media justice advocates are not fooled by industry "astroturfing." According to Karr, "This has been a classic battle between corporate money and grassroots organizing. Whereas our power is derived from building broad and diverse coalitions of a lot of people, their power comes from the checkbooks and their ability to influence the debate inside the Beltway."

Finding Affordable Health Insurance in Long Beach
Here are some tips to be used as a guide for shopping for health insurance:
Compare Benefits: All plans are not created equal. It is best to conduct a side by side comparison of each of the plan benefits. Look to see if the benefits provided by the plan meet your needs. Review any limitations to the number of doctor office visits. Check if the plan includes both generic and brand drugs. See if the plan includes extra added benefits such as dental and vision coverage. Be especially aware of the annual deductible and out of pocket maximum. Some plans include the annual deductible in the out of pocket maximum and some plans treat this as a separate amount. Remember the out of pocket maximum is the maximum amount you would pay in one calendar year (may be in addition to the annual deductible) if something catastrophic happens (like hospitalization and\or surgery). Review other out of pocket expenses such as coinsurance percentages, co-pays and excess charges when provider charges are higher than the plans allowed amount.
Check Drug Formulary: Most plans offered now use a drug formulary. This is a list of drugs that will be covered by a plan. Be sure that the plan you choose covers any medications (brand drugs and\or generic drugs) you may be taking.
Check Provider Directory: All companies have a network of doctors and hospitals (including specialists and other health care facilities). These providers are specifically contracted with the insurance company called "in-network" providers. Make sure any providers or medical facilities that you would likely visit are a part of the network to avoid "out of network" charges or charges that are not covered. Calling a provider and asking them if they accept and HMO or a PPO is not good enough. More importantly ask if they are specifically contracted as an in-network provider with the particular HMO or PPO that you have.
Underwriting Eligibility: Underwriting eligibility guidelines vary between companies. Some are more lenient than others. If you have a pre-existing condition, you could be approved at a standard premium, approved at a higher premium, offered an alternate plan or declined. It may be worth your time discussing your particular pre-existing condition with your insurance professional before you apply. They can tell you about the general guidelines for your specific condition and how it could affect your eligibility.
Application Processing Times: Processing times can vary between companies. Online applications can be processed more efficiently provided all necessary information is received. Applications can take anywhere from a few days to several weeks depending upon your medical history.
Compare Premiums: Monthly premiums are based on your age, health history and where you live. The more benefits that are included in a plan, the higher the monthly premium.Plans without maternity coverage or those that offer generic only prescription drug coverage or that have a limited number of office visits per year are less expensive. Plans with higher deductibles and higher out of pocket maximums and higher copayment percentages are also less expensive.
Coverage Out of State or Country: If you travel out of state or out of the country, check with the plan guidelines carefully. Most plans will only cover you out of state (within the United States) during an emergency. Most plans will not provide coverage to you outside the country. Out of country travelers should seek travel medical insurance.
Exclusions and Limitations: All plans have exclusions and limitations. Contact us for a complete list of common exclusions.

Eckhard Beger-Labyrinth Chest of Drawers
At Design Interviews
Interview with Eckhard Beger : Frank Scott: What is the main principle, idea and inspiration behind your design?. Eckhard Beger : The main idea was to design a vertical chest of drawers with a clear outline and to emphasise its appearance with unconventional drawers and a veneer combination reminding the streets of a city. .Frank Scott: What are your future plans for this award winning design?. Eckhard Beger : Labyrinth is currently being manufactured in Italy. Labyrinth can be ordered through my company ArteNemus. .Frank Scott: How long did it take you to design this particular concept?. Eckhard Beger : It took six months to finalise the project. .Frank Scott: Why did you design this particular concept? Was this design commissioned or did you decide to pursuit an inspiration?. Eckhard Beger : After designing horizontal chest of drawers, I wanted to design a chest of drawers using mainly the vertical dimension. The specific configuration is a result of my own inspiration (the work was done for the collection of my company ArteNemus). .Frank Scott: Is your design being produced or used by another company, or do you plan to sell or lease the production rights or do you intent to produce your work yourself?. Eckhard Beger : Labyrinth is being manufactured by a partner company. It can be purchased through my own company, ArteNemus. .Frank Scott: Where there any other designs and/or designers that helped the influence the design of your work?. Eckhard Beger : In a broad sense, Labyrinth's shape is influenced by the Bauhaus aesthetics. .Frank Scott: Who is the target customer for his design?. Eckhard Beger : The target customer is a person looking for an outstanding aesthetic object with very high craftsmanship level and at the same time searching for the functionality of drawer. .Frank Scott: What sets this design apart from other similar or resembling concepts?. Eckhard Beger : The drawer mechanism is remarkable given that it allows the extension of the drawer and thereafter the rotation of the vertical compartment. .Frank Scott: How did you come up with the name for this design? What does it mean?. Eckhard Beger : The special design combination of the black (ebony) and white (flamed maple) veneer and their contrast remind of streets of a city on a map. .Frank Scott: Which design tools did you use when you were working on this project?. Eckhard Beger : The two tools which I used while working on the project are the CAD software and especially the Rendering software to assess the aesthetic impact of different veneer combinations before the final choice. .Frank Scott: What is the most unique aspect of your design?. Eckhard Beger : The two most unique aspects of the design are the veneer combination (ebony and maple) as well as the specific vertical drawer mechanism with a rotating compartment. .Frank Scott: Who did you collaborate with for this design? Did you work with people with technical / specialized skills?. Eckhard Beger : I collaborate with a partner company for the manufacturing of Labyrinth. The two biggest challenges being the veneer combination (ebony and maple) as well as the extension mechanisms for the drawers. .Frank Scott: What is the role of technology in this particular design?. Eckhard Beger : Modified industrial linear guidance technology components are used to build mechanisms for the drawers (as opposed to commercial drawer mechanisms). These were chosen because they are made from massive metal as opposed to bent sheet metal. .Frank Scott: What are some of the challenges you faced during the design/realization of your concept?. Eckhard Beger : Two of the challenges during the design and realisation process are the combination of veneers (how to combine ebony and maple as veneers while avoiding cracks) and the appropriate drawer extension mechanisms (allowing smooth extension and being aesthetic). .Frank Scott: How did you decide to submit your design to an international design competition?. Eckhard Beger : I regularly submit my designs to international design competitions on to asses their evaluation by professional juries. Besides the Silver A'Design Award, Labyrinth also obtained a Finalists Award at the London International Creative Competition 2014 and a Third Prize at the International Design Awards 2014 in the USA. .Frank Scott: What did you learn or how did you improve yourself during the designing of this work?. Eckhard Beger : I learned how to accentuate the appearance of an object with an understated shape through the veneer design. .

The absolute star of the show for me during May has to be the Cowslip. One of the first wild flowers to emerge on the common this year, it has created a lovely burst of yellow flowers, which have stood up spritely to attention all month. Found in the meadows where cows graze, the name Cowslip, is said to derive from the old English word for cow dung!..... my Mum, who was brought up playing and roaming around on the common around Coventry in the Midlands used to tell me this was her favourite wild flower. And I can see why, it's a cheerful little thing! When I was a little girl my bedroom curtains were green meadow grass with wild flowers on them. And as I walk across the common and can see why she choose those curtains.
|'wild garlic'
My walks have taken me through moist damp woods, where the wild garlic likes to grow. The air has been filled with the deep scent of wild garlic, and a magical carpet of pretty white star flowers have greeted me. So pungent. The leaves can be used in salads and are quite strong tasting, strong enough to make a pesto with .
|'wild garlic woods'
|'apple blossom'
In my quest for the perfect 'bluebell'! I found this one in my garden. Such a pretty mauve colour. Just like little magical fairy hats, I think, possibly with little tinkling bells in!
|evening in the cotswolds
Can I squeeze in this one of where I live. Everything is so full and green right now. This is my view of the valley where I live, taken in the evening, from the woods. We seem to be having our April showers now at the end of May!
|flowers from the garden
At home my may quilt has found it's place for now on the back of my bench, and every few days I will find flowers for my table in the garden. There's lots of blues and purples in may!
June will no doubt herald it's own stunning parade of colours. Me and my camera are ready! The Cowparsley growing under the apple trees has reached shoulder height, at least for a 5ft 3 person! and will need to be strimmed. There's a huge amount of mowing going on here at the moment, the grass just keeps on growing! I think of it as my green gym work-out! But this half-term week has been a creative one, thanks to the rain. More sewing to show soon.
The sun is trying to squeeze it's way through today. This week has been a difficult one my friends. The challenges of the teenage years are hard for this single Mum. I learn more each day really. Try different things. You have to try and then sometimes you have to leave alone. Hoping we will bump through to happier less challenging days soon.
So come on June, we are ready for you. I know you will bring your challenges and decisions to be made. I know I need to act on some things. I can't sweep everything under the carpet. But please bring some happy sunny feel good medicine too! oh and slugs please don't eat my lettuce, at least not all of it!

(visited by Hans Augdoppler)
21-Jun-2001 -- On our way to the
High Tatras Mountains we decided to go to 49°N 18°E as second visitor. We crossed the border to the Slovak Republic on the route from Brno to
Trenčín with some delay due to sluggish dispatching by the Slovakian border officials.
Via the White Carpathians [Biele Karpaty] we passed trough the valley of Horná Súča and finally our journey ended at the outskirt of the mountain village of Repákovci. We could already see the clearing in direction north west (pic#3). The passable road ended at a weekend house at the boundary of a beech forest. From there on we had to walk a few hundred meters (pic#4).
We left the beech forest and walked up the meadow (pic#5). As we came close to the confluence we saw fresh footprints in the high grass. We were sure, that somebody else visited the place just on this day. We located the exact position about 10 m inside a small birch forest.
We are still looking forward to the 2nd visitor – a secret?
Then we continued to the east, to High Tatras, to
49°N 19°E. See more pictures at

Houston Zoo in shell shock over rare baby turtles
A visitor to the Houston Zoo on Friday asked what several employees were doing in the lemur exhibit's moat.
"Oh, we're looking for big-headed turtles. We had some hatch last week, thought we saw another one," answered Lynn Killam, an assistant curator at the zoo's primate section.
"Y'all getting ready for turtle soup, then?," the visitor asked.
She responded with a glare.
"Turtle soup," Killam shook her head.
Such jokes about the Madagascar big-headed turtle are a serious matter for Killam. The turtle has nearly been hunted onto the endangered list of the Turtle Conservation Fund by hungry residents of Madagascar and other nations along the Indian Ocean. The turtle - known to scientists as erymnochelys madagascariensis - is also said to be prized for its alleged medicinal value.
So when five babies appeared last Saturday at the zoo, staffers were elated. The zoo on Friday announced the births.
As part of a breeding program, the zoo's lemur exhibit has housed three male and four female Madagascar big-headed turtles since soon after the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service confiscated them in 2005. Zoo officials said they weren't certain the turtles, which prey on each other when aggressive, would breed.
The zoo created an environment that included underwater shelters with brick flooring, which allow the turtles to hide and escape from one another during aggressive behavior.
Officials thought they saw nesting behavior in May, but never saw a nest.
When a baby was spotted last week, staffers gently dug around the sandy soil until three more baby turtles - each no larger than a quarter - emerged, Killam said. A fifth baby surfaced on Sunday, and other unhatched eggs were spotted.
"You're lucky if one of those grows to an adult in the wild," herpetologist Christopher Bednarski noted.
Zoo officials said they're the first non-private entity to breed the turtles in North America.
"Nobody had ever done it. They're rare. They're aggressive," said Dr. Joe Flanagan. "In a place where they're set up to breed them in Madagascar, they keep them separate so they don't kill each other.
"I go over and look in that moat at least once a week in disbelief that it's working," Flanagan said.
Bednarski said the baby turtles would take another eight to 12 years before they could produce offspring, but that other conservatories would take them in order to discourage inbreeding.
"The babies won't go back in the moat," Bednarski said.

The Shogun team collecting bluefin moved into the second half of the trip focused on tagging bluefin and collecting bluefin and yellowfin tuna. They searched the ocean on the US side of the border and moved back and forth between the waters south of San Clemente Island and Mexican waters. During the day they connected with a large school of bluefin tuna that Captains Aaron and Cole were able to put the team on. Once there tagging commenced and approximately 30 fish were released. A new load of bluefin was collected with fish that were just ranged from 14-25 lbs. 40-50 lb fish were also mixed with the school. It was a great day of fishing, and an enthusiastic crew working together with the scientists managed to get all the tags out- and collect a load of fish for scientific study.

Scioscia's challenge erases Ethier
Angels' Aybar ruled to have made forceout after review
ANAHEIM -- Andre Ethier was called out at second base in the fourth inning of the Dodgers' 2-1 win over the Angels at Angel Stadium on Wednesday night after a video review overturned the safe call on the field.
With no outs and Ethier at first, Justin Turner sent a comebacker to Angels pitcher Matt Shoemaker, who turned and hesitated before throwing to second base. Shortstop Erick Aybar was late covering and appeared not to touch second base as Ethier slid in safely.
Angels manager Mike Scioscia challenged the call and initiated the review. Officials at the Replay Command Center at MLB.com headquarters in New York ruled that Aybar's foot touched the bag and Ethier was erased.
Scioscia said he was getting clarification from the umpires about the "neighborhood play," where an infielder can take a good throw at second without touching the base and still earn the out, before challenging the play.
"If he was called out, you can't go out and challenge that if it's a good throw," Scioscia said. "Once he's called safe, then it has to become a challenge."
Turner reached first on a fielder's choice. The Dodgers led, 2-0, at the time of the review and the Angels escaped the inning unscathed.
