and encourages us to tell those stories to really bring out with the society is about. >> do you have your either next project yet? >> i do. this is the pastor and congregation. william jernigan is a prominent minister here in washington d.c. for 46 years. he liked this is bethune was a figure. he sought to bring the idea and he's an amazing figure that is everywhere and nowhere at the same time. hopefully the past will gladly have the concept that is fair. >> thank you are a match for your time. >> thank you match. ..
10:01 am
[applause] >> good afternoon, everyone, and i'm sure you have any number of welcomes to the book fair but 're going to give you oneanay. we're very glad you're here. this is a discussion about who the most significant periods ere the -- before america first as a nation, and then the runup and the aftermath of the civil war, when america experiences near death as a nation. and bunker hill, nathaniel philbrick chronicles boston in 1775 when british troops occupied the city and engaged a patriot militia in the bloodiest battle of the revolution and the point of no return for the rebellious columnist. nathaniel lives in nantucket
10:02 am
where he is a recognized authority on the history of the island, though he told an interviewer i don't think it's possible to plumb the depths of this island's rich history, and obviously aficionado of sailing and sea-faring, his blues include mayflower, a final just of the 2007 pulitzer prize for history. in the heart of the sea he won the national book award for fiction. revenge of the whale, and sea of glory one the theodore and franklin roosevelt naval hit prize. holds a bachelor in english from brown and a master in american lilt tour at duke. at brown he was the university's first enter collegial all-american sailor. a month ago he won the new england award from the new england independent book sellers association, perhaps his passion for his subject can be demonstrated from the just 21st post from mystic seaporting when the attended the
10:03 am
launching of america as only surviving whale ship. he says the picture he posted on -- along with his blog was, quote, taken at the moment of impact as a christening bottle containing water from all of the seas upon which the more more began ever sailed was bashed against the bow. next i'd like to introduce brenda wineapple,en essayist, of ecstatic nation, a "new york times" reviewer noted that brenda takes the reader on a different road. the growing gulf between north and south, familiar scenery like the lincoln-douglass debates and suddenly the civil war. but instead of that usual ride for reviewer david reynolds, brenda wineapple takes us on a different ride, take the monaco grand prix, zigzagging and
10:04 am
hairpin turns, followed by straightaways where you reach 200. it's history in real-time, full of plans that backfired, schemes spoiled by chance. outliars who change everything, and happy endings that turn out no to be too happy after all. the size of ecstatic nation include white heat, the friendship of emily dickenson, and thomas wentworth hissenson, hawthorne, a life. she is a regular contributor to the new york times book review and the nations and editor of the select poetry of americans project project. in 2009 she received a push cart prize, a guggenheim fellowship, a fellowship from the american council of learned societies and two national endowment for the humanities fellowships among others. last year she was elected a fellow of the american academy of arts and sciences. a former director of the leon
10:05 am
leavy center for buying agraph in new york. she teaches in the msa programs of the new school glover columbia university school of the arts and has taught sarah lawrence college and union college in new yorkie she was washington irving professor of modern literary. please welcome brenda wineapple and nathaniel philbrick. [applause] >> on my way over here, nathaniel and i talked about how both of these subjects are obviously the most -- among the most notable eras of american history. how could we characterize a comparative deal between your book and brenda's when it comes to intensity, and relevance,
10:06 am
where both in the revolution and the civil war. there wasn't very much of a clear future in either era. >> i was thinking about this question when i heard about the great opportunity to be paired with brenda, and my bunker hill begins actually -- begins and ends with john quincy adams. it begins with him at seven years old, standing on a hill with his mother, then in her early 30s, on june 17, 1775, watching the battle of bunker hill from a hill about 12 miles away. and later in his life he would record in his journal that it was an experience -- an unforgettable experience. both of them were weeping as the watched the british navy unleash cannon balls on the patriots gathered on bunker hill.
10:07 am
but really what hit him the most was learning a few days later that their family doctor, dr. joseph warren, had been killed at the battle of bunker hill during the last british charge, and this was devastating for john quincy, whose father was now penning more and more time away, actually on his -- then at the second continental congress 300 miles away in philadelphia. and the death of joseph warren that moved him so deeply that for the rest of this life, he would refrain from attending celebrations of the battle of bunker hill in charlestown, and so my book begins with that, and joseph warren is a major character, one i think a lot of us don't know a lot about. we think of the other adamses, john quincy's dad and samuel
10:08 am
adams, but the book ends with john quincy adams 68 years later, on june 17, in the 1840s, with the building of the bunker hill monument, built on bunker hill, and once again he refused to attend, and yet he watches once again from the family home where he sees the smoke of a cannon go off that reminds him of that time, and at this time in his life, john quincy adams, a president, is now a lowly u.s. congressman who is taken up the fight against slavery, because what he realizes is the work that his doctor, dr. joseph warren, and his father, worked so hard for, is not over, and we segway to brenda. >> very interesting. a pleasure to be here.
10:09 am
thank you for the introduction, grate to be here with nathaniel philbrick, and especially feel like as nathaniel was saying, baton has been passed, and the baton is john quincy adams and not necessarily a name that we conjure with anymore you think of -- i don't know -- washington and jefferson and madison and later, of course, lincoln, and even later than that, grant, and going forward. john quincy adams was not really known for his presidency. he was more known for what happened, as na thannal said for his post-presidency when he actually goes into the house of representatives. and also nobody as the man of refusal, and that word is interesting to me because one of the very last words that he utterred was, no. a word of refusal. and my particular book starts with the death of john quincy adams in 1848, standing up and
10:10 am
saying, no, as a particular issue that was a vote on whether or not to give more medals to mexican war veterans, and he had been john quincy adams had been opposed to that war and he was opposed to decorating generals who fought in what he felt was a greedy war and one that was continue ringing the death knell of the union because of the issuery of slavery and was not looking good for the country. and so here was a man who had served his country well, both as president and then in the house of representatives, userring -- uttering, no, and ending his life, and that was a watershed moment, not just because of the mexican war, but because john quincy adams was the descendent of john adams and all of the founding fathers, and we entered
10:11 am
a different world now. we're not in the revolutionary era. we can't look back in the same way we're looking forward, and what we have to look forward to is a series of refusals for good and ill that come to be known as the period before, during, and after the civil war. so, it's very interesting kind of continuity in that particular way that we see history asles being embodied by humans who have such a direct and powerful response to it. >> did you looks at how thorn and witness publish whittier and other genres contribute to your decision to write this book? >> absolutely. hawthorne, i'm also interested in the fact that nathaniel hawthorne, man who died during the civil war in 1864, was also man -- we also associate with
10:12 am
salem, the early witchcraft trials, was really -- 17th 17th century american, not 19th century northwestern, yet a man who met abraham lincoln. he called abraham lincoln not one of the homeliest men he ever met as a matter of fact, and if that wasn't enough, hawthorne was president of the united states, franklin pears, and when we think of hawthorne, we think of the writer and recluse and scarlet letters and we don't think of politics and he was very involved in politics, actually, and it was a very political time. whittier, just to finish up, answering the question, whittier was the quaker poet from massachusetts. we're both from massachusetts. i grew up in the town where whittier was from so i had whittier rammed down my throat
10:13 am
as a girl. didn't like him much, and when the library of america called me to do the book of whittier, thought, oh, well, all right. and i re-read him and he -- i had been too young for him, and besides being a very good poet, he was a wonderful man in many ways, and was a long-time abolitionist, which mean he was even more than antislavery. he didn't want any gradual ending. so i was interested in these literary figures and they're role in history. >> i think it's interesting, brenda and i kind of come from history -- come to history from a similar literary place. my graduate degree is in american literature, and i live on nantucket, largely because i really like moby dick. >> he does. it's great. >> i wrote a little book about that. >> i'm a fan. >> and -- likewise, but continuing the -- i was actually named for nathaniel hawthorne.
10:14 am
>> really? >> yeah. it said that his biography of franklin pearce was the biggest book of text he had written. >> it was, and he dedicatessed -- when he dedicated a book to franklin pearce, ralph waldo emerson cut the dedication out. so it was very interesting. so we have that similar background. nathaniel's books on the essex, the whaling ship. >> and whittier, to continue with that, he wrote a poem called, the exiles, which describe otherwise thomas macy, the founding english settler of nantucket, fled puritan persecution and got on a boat with his family and imagine cloy 12 other people and fled the puritans to found nantucket. so just down the street from where we live is the house where
10:15 am
supposedly whit you're wrote "the exiles." that's interesting. nantucket has a long-standing quaker community and frederick douglass, after he -- before he was well nobody, lived on nantucket, and the american antislavery meetings were often held there, and i remember -- i don't remember -- i wasn't there -- but i feel like i remember that he spoke in nantucket. >> we're very proud on nantucket that frederick douglass, the first time he spoke before a white audience was in nantucket, and his wonderful book, the narrative of his life, ends with that scene so on nantucket we take great pride -- >> and credit. >> right. >> looking at some of the figures who were known to people as established players, when the revolution finished as well as when the civil war was completed, george washington, for example, 1775, seemed to be
10:16 am
somewhat of an out lie -- out-ly 'er. >> when i came up with the book, my concern was, washington, the walking marble man, and what us he going to really be a buzz kill once he arrives on the scene after the battle of bunker hill. anything but. i mean, it's just fascinating to see washington. a man from virginia, arriving in new england. a couple weeks after the battle of bunker hill -- and this is a new england army. these are people whose idea of diversity is, okay, i'm from massachusetts but i'm willing to serve in an army with someone from new hampshire. and then to have this plantation owner arrive, and he realizes, this is an army that, because they have grown up with the new england town meeting -- which is
10:17 am
a wonderful form of government in which basically people argue until finally they come to a decision. the soldiers in this army, when given an order, would say, fine, that's -- we understand that's what you want us to do, but we'll discuss this before we agree to do that. and this drove washington crazy because he had arrived with the miss placed hope he was going to whip these people into a professional army, and it was -- god bless him, he stuck with it. it was not pretty, but with washington you see the beginning, where this very in-grown group of new englanders begin to think of themselves not just from massachusetts or new hampshire, but begin to realize, whoa, we have to think of ourselves as americans. >> and i get a similar question for the period you cover, 1848 to 1877. there were individuals who were
10:18 am
kind of out of sight, going in -- >> right. >> the conflict. >> those figures' insight, the opposite in some ways of washington, the man of marble, what are you going to do with him? you come at him as a writer. i had lincoln, which is the opposite in the sense that he is not a man of marble, a man who is headliner in movies -- he certainly was before. he is known, quoted, beloved, and i thought to myself, he can't possibly be as good as people make him out to be. and when i'm asked one of the discoveries of the book, and there were many for me -- one of the discoveries is that lincoln is bottomless and he is brilliant, he is as much a figure of history, too as a figure of literature, because he is a wonderful stylist and in many ways i think we wouldn't remember certain things in the way we do if it hasn't been for
10:19 am
his great literary achievement. at the same time, there were those outlyers as you're calling them, people who had been forgotten from history, and like lydia child, who was an abolitionist for a long time. when i grew up in massachusetts, she was known for poems and i don't think i can quite quote, over the hill and through the woods to grandmother's mothers we go. for thanksgiving or something like that. which is something that was said and i wanted to run away from as best as possible, but i fine out that not only was she an active abolitionist, but she fought to win -- for women's rights and indian rights and actually wanted to go down to harper's ferry to virginia in 189 and take care of john brun in fact,
10:20 am
and john brown wisely told her not to come, but what she did was engage in a series of public letters with the wife of the governor of virginia, and they were published, and it was -- these were letters about slavery. and they were talking about what john brown had done in virginia and the woman in the south was saying, you know, how -- you don't care about your workers in the north, but you care about southerners and what -- aren't you a mother? she wasn't. don't you care about children? and lydia marie charles would say, i care about children, but we don't sell our children. and it went back and forth in this particular way. and find out these are people who in some sense have been lost or sidelined, and they're so very, very important, and they were so famous in their own day. which is fascinating, too.
10:21 am
>> the news obviously has been chockablock with 50th 50th anniversary and discussion to look back to the kennedy assassination. 1865, after abraham lincoln was killed, who was it that took us forth in light of the assassination, to essentially bring forward social policies that take you up to the end point of the book, 1877. >> well, one couldn't have avoided, probably didn't want, to the last week of commemorative programs about the assassination of john f. kennedy, and some of you probably have heard or have heard, the work most recent book on johnson, and one of the things he talked about i find very interesting, is the transition of power from, of course, kennedy, to johnson, and
10:22 am
the fact that was such a seamless transition because you had this horrible event, and suddenly -- and the government doesn't crumble. and of course, when that is going on, i, who lived in the 19th century, think about the lincoln assassination, and the transition at that particular time to another johnson, andrew johnson, from tennessee, who was put on lincoln's ticket in 1864 election. i don't think anyone would have thought -- maybe they did -- lincoln was always thinking more of the thought, understandably but that andrew johnson would be president, there was a great deal of talk he was drunk at the inauguration, so, there was a transition which was right after -- days after -- it's hard to imagine -- days after appomattox. days after the war, and some in the south were actually still
10:23 am
fighting. they didn't want to stop fight, and andrew johnson is the next president, and a lot of knee. congress, called the radical republicans, they looked to johnson and thought johnson would be a good guy and one of them, would actually implement the social policies that so many people had fought for, and they were sadly mistaken in him as it turned out, and in fact johnson was almost impeached, just about a couple years later. so, it was a very rocky transition in this particular case, not because the government didn't work, but because you're just coming out of a dreadful, horrific war. >> that's the theme that i came to recognize in my book as well, that all of these things we see as inevitable, whether it's the revolution, the rise of george washington, lincoln's indispensability, all this stuff. once you get in it, as i know
10:24 am
you do in your book, you begin to realize how messy everything was. there was no sense of destiny. everyone was seized with doubt and concern and anxiety, and all of these things merge in a way that is eerily reminiscent of any time, particularly our time. it wasn't a time when they were more clear-sighted and better than us. they were living in extraordinary times and they were ordinary people, doing the best they could. and i find that very heartening in that, whether it's washington, the man of marble you begin to realize, no, he was a human being, put in a very difficult situation, that challenged the very nature of who he was, and somehow began to re-enew jersey a do -- reemerge, and washington was an incredible leader because he had the unusual ability to realize, i have to change course here. lincoln could improvise in a
10:25 am
way. and then had this tremendously pragmatic sense that these -- this is the right thing, but to achieve it, we're going to have to make it work, and that's so unusual, is that you combine a real sort of ideaistic vision with a sense of, okay, people really only do things they want to do, and how do we use that to make this higher good happen? and then those kinds of leaders are so rare, and i think one of the amazing things about american history is they seem to appear just when we need them. >> hopefully. one can only hope. the wonderful word he uses, it's so useful, is improvisation, that someone like washington is. providing, and history is not static, and may flower is not static, the bunker hill is not static, revolutionary period is not static, and people are us in a sense, and we are improvising.
10:26 am
you don't know what is going to happen next, and especially in the time of the war, whether it's the revolution or civil war or battle of bunker hill or gettysburg. >> don't know how -- you don't know how it's going to turn out and you're left with a whole different political climate perhaps. i was just thinking about sherman taking atlanta, and in some sense that secured lincoln's election in 1864. it turns the tide because people suddenly feeling good, we can go forward. we don't have to negotiates a peace. >> brenda, as a fellow writer, i have a question for you. i know when i -- some of my books are about very iconic things-it's the may flower, the pilgrims, bunker hill. we know how it's going to work out. i find myself, when i'm actually writing the book, when i'm really there and a chapter when everything is up for grabs, that
10:27 am
in that i'm feeling like, my gosh, what's going to happen next? you get that kind of sense of, i'm in there, that this could go anywhere? >> yes. first of all i want to say that it's a great feeling have when i read your books. i mean it as a highest compliment in the sense we do know how certain things come out. we do know who won the war. this war, that war. we do know that washington becomes president. all of those things. so, the trick in writing history is to write it as if you don't know it, and in a certain sense when you're on the ground, and that's what i mean about my living in the 19th century -- the way in which you don't know it, and it's because you're not -- i think it's because -- i would ask you this -- because we don't think of outcomes. we think of process. we think of how we get to that outcome. so, i'm fascinated. i sit -- lunatic but i sit and i read the congressional globe,
10:28 am
which is like theater, really. it's like reading plays because this one is thaddeus stevens speaks, and sumner -- it's a lot of people speaking, and even though it's been cleaned up, it's not -- they didn't have tape recorders -- you feel that people aren't thinking on their feet so you forget about the outcome. you're involved in the way people see events in real-time. >> yeah. it's completely -- as a writer, i was trained as a journalist, and what i'm often finding is for me, in journalism, you try to come up with a sense of howl life is lived in the present, and my relationship with the past follows that kind. i'm just trying to figure out what happened? as best i can, and given the fact that sources are not always there, and there's always questions of evidence and all those things, but that's what
10:29 am
you're ultimately trying to do, is get a sense of what was it like when all of this was happening? and peel back that sense of destined people, and realize how messy it was, and how easily it could have gone another way, and i think it doesn't -- i have a -- with each book i don't come away with, oh, you know, this is how we should go in the future. we're, as myon tick and confused as they were then. the question is what you do when you're in the middle of it. >> different kinds of questions, for example, bat war for me was, i -- you know issue can tell you what happened at bull run. i'm not a military historian and that doesn't move me, but then it suddenly occurred to me, how did people know what happened at these various places? how did they get their information? who were the journalists on the ground.
10:30 am
speaking of journalism remainedded me of that. how did they dispatch their stories? what happened? did they -- were they ever captured? there were a lot of questions. was the coverage in the south the same as the north? so when you start asking those kinds of questions as well as questions about motives, i think you begin to find different pathways into the past and as i said, you begin and you certainly do this in nathaniel's book, you live there with him. >> so often, both writing at well-known topics, walt amazes me is how little i know about every topic. in fact each book is out of my ignorance i want to figure out what happened. but you find that testimony. for example in bunker hill, i was describing the day after lexington and concord, and we speak of that shot heard around
10:31 am
the world, everything is going great for the patriots, but if you go into the town of boston, everyone is terrified. so immobilized with terror that some people literally can't walk, and i found this journal of a woman who was there at the time, and that was her situation. she and her female friend, they were so terrified, they wanted to get out, anything to get away from these 9,000 british soldiers in boston. but we can't literally walk, and so finally her husband puts them in a carriage and took them out and basically left them at the door of the minister in rocks bury, and off they go. you just begin to realize, what the emotions people were feeling. a. comes to me is a real revelation, that it it isn't just connecting the dates of events. it's -- you realize that the human costs not only in terms of lives but how traumatic. look at john quincy adams.
10:32 am
70 years after the battle of bunker hill, he still sees it in his head, and that's informing what he is doing when he is looking at this challenge of slavery. >> we have approached and come upon question time from the audience. if you have any questions, please good to the microphone and identify yourself and pose a question to either nathaniel or brenda. >> we should be ecstatic today to have you two here, and to think across the street we have t.t. holmes, whose book founding florida, is brilliant, and any citizen of the sunshine state should be reading that book, as well as all of the other session waves had today. in reading your books i think there's one constant theme that struck me, and that is the theme of racism. and how deeply seated it is in our history. for example, nathaniel in the
10:33 am
mayflower, how quickly our colonial forefathers and mothers were against the indians. the number of families that owned slaves in boston, completely unaware of that. i think you do a brilliant job of tracing racism and another tip of the hat, i think your book will be recognized as landmark in history because you provide a continuity between the ante bellum civil war and reconstruction and you have done a very good job pulling that together. but again, the theme seems to be race, and we take it to one other level which i think is laudible. it's not only race but the threat of the vote. of extending the right to vote to nonwhites and to women. my question is this. do you have any thoughts in terms of what are some of the
10:34 am
root causes of that racism in our american history? and when things used to be very much alive today in terms of what we're fining in many states, including ohio, in trying to restrict that right to vote. thank you. >> briefly, you're right. i think you can generalize it to intolerance. looking back to the pilgrims. they cam not looking for religious freedom but to worship as they wanted to, and they wanted to make sure everybody else did, and ultimately that it kind of attitude -- they were bumping heads with the native americans who kept them from dying that first winter, and then with bunker hill, one of the things that -- i think if you have to look at where america becomes america, it's washington realizing that on november 5, 1775, all the officers in his army, from
10:35 am
massachusetts, want to celebrate something called poke night. it's basically an anticatholic demonstration, in which embarked in the north and south end, would have their open cart waifs -- carts with a clark tour of the devil and the pope and the point was to steal carts and beat um people. and this is what the officers wanted to celebrate on november 5th as their presiding over the siege of boston. and washington writes a resolution that says, ruff -- are you kidding? we're in the middle of the war. we want catholic france to come in on our side, and you have the audacity to pull something like this? and what he is saying is, it's those old prejudices, whether it's racial, it's not going to work, and i think looking -- and slavery is that ultimate one, and it's -- america is in the process of hopefully grinding
10:36 am
those down until we're all looking at each other as human beings. >> creating america is both a process of -- making a nation, as nathaniel nation, and also redefining citizenship, which happens in the 19th century, and you see it because it becomes more and more complicated, who is a citizen, when you emancipate the population, black population, in the south, how do you make those people citizens? what are the qualifications for citizens? then if the qualifications for citizens are extended to black men, what about black women and what about white women? are they citizens? then our native americans citizens? should they be citizens because they're native americans, after all. but i think that nathaniel says intolerance and what we have a sense of -- i've always understood the kind of racism that you're talking about is broader, is a sense of fear of the other, fear of otherness,
10:37 am
and you see that in nativism, that was in the middle of the 19th century. the political party that was called the know-nothings, and they were based on the nativism. they were based -- an anticatholic party,, so that its really kind of astonishing, and so that, yes, we hoped that these prejudices are ground down, but i think the idea of citizenship voting, voting rights, is something that we have been discussing for very, very long time, and is constantly being reconsidered and refigured, and you certainly see that in the contest after the civil war between when black men are pitted against black women and white women about who gets to vote, and it's interesting and creepy in a certain sense.
10:38 am
you see that same kind of factionalizing in 2008 in the primary when barack obama was pitted against hillary rodham clinton. they're both in some sense on the same side. people who were displeased with both of them wanted to see them as adversaries and in certain senses they were. so it's complicated and ongoing, and i think it is in every culture, bill the way. i think that -- it's certainly part of our legacy but citizenship is constantly -- france, other places, constantsly being reinvestigated. sorry to go on. thank you. >> could you discuss the role or lack thereof, among political opponents of compromise during the times you looked at, and how it relates to today, to political factions you see compromised equivalent to treason. >> i think that's for you. the subtitle of my book is
10:39 am
"confidence, crisis and compromise." and one of the white motifs, one of the themes that goes through the book, is the issue of compromise, because not only do we hear about the compromise of 1820, 1850, but the actual word was constantly being ban died about and you have people shouting in the senate, or in the house of representatives, i will not compromise. or william lloyd garrison saying no compromise with slave-holders, and so the whole issue of compromise was a contended issue in the same sense it is today, because in some sense you could argue that someone like garrison is staking out a moral position, an absolutist position, and once you -- very absolutist when its comes to abolishing slavery but absolutist positions mean you can't compromise so what about positions that are not quite
10:40 am
absolutist? where do you become practicing mat tick? that's where lincoln comes in. he was a pragmatist and was willing to compromise. that's why many men and women who are more radical than he was thought he was a little bit tardy and slow with regard to emancipation, but he was working slowly because he believed in pragmatic approach to government so you could get a real lasting peace and you could actually abolish slavery. so compromise is an interesting issue, sometimes pragmatic, sometimes works, sometimes necessary, but sometimes so flaccid and meaningless as to become terrible as in the compromise of 1876 when you have the contested election, the election of ruthserford b. hayes who did not win the popular vote. but then again, many people were not allowed to vote in the south, so this so-called
10:41 am
compromise was to get him into office as long as he pulled out the federal troops out of the south, so that it would end reconstruction. so it's not -- compromising people's welfare in that particular case. so we're debating those issues today, and i don't think there are easy answers to them. >> we have time for one more question. >> you mentioned lincoln's bottomlessness, and if wonder if you could say a little more about that in the context of the evolution of his views on slavery, and a general question for both: given the very interesting comments about how all times are messy when you look at them, in the present, as you do, an illusion we look back and think of things has having been much clearer. what kind of perspective does that give in terms of so many people feeling we have such a dysfunctional government and how do we go forward, but with
10:42 am
thetive you have from having looked at periods that seemed equally hopeless. what's the future look like? >> one of the things i'm amazed at is the dysfunctionality of times that we look back at as functional. between lexington and concord, and bunker hill, we think of them as all resolute and knowing where they want to go, but you see the provincial congress dithering, not knowing what to do, do we make an army? but, wait, we don't trust armies. but we need an army. my gosh -- all of those kinds of things. and my only takeway is when you look at -- it's so dangerous to make close parallels with the past because people had very different points of view, and whole -- their whole sense of reality was different. but the one thing i come away with, you just got to be humble about the present and not think
10:43 am
that there's anyone who has it figured out. you need to find the -- in terms of leaders you need to find the people who can do that juggling act of pragmatic include achieves things that are for a greater good, and it's not -- it cannot be this stand-off, i'm right, you're wrong. it has to be, let's begin a conversation and resolve this. as the main aim, and that's the one thing i saw with this revolution, was they had to resolve it because they were in the midst of a war, and it's a wonderful -- what it does, it creates -- requires people to come up with something. otherwise it's over, and i think that sort of is why our two books exist, is trying to make sense of that. >> absolutely. the only thing i would add in that case, about lincoln and that particular context, is that
10:44 am
one of the things he represents, seems to me, one of the things he is able to do -- two things -- they're very important -- one is to empathize, even hawthorne, who called him the homeliest man he ever met and wasn't really a republican, wasn't at all a republican, found in his brief meeting with lincoln a man of real kindness and people often said that. doesn't average come through history, kindness. it meant he was able to empathize with people from different walks of life, different color, different circumstances, and be able to see their point of view, and i think that was enlarging to him and ultimately enlarging to the country and that's very important. i think the other thing that becomes important and i think we write history or think about is, we don't have predictions of pronouncements for today, but i think what is significant is also the ability people could --
10:45 am
the interesting people, people who made the changes often are people who have the capacity to change their mines, -- minds, ad one of the thing people say about -- go back to lincoln -- was the capacity to grow, and grow means changing your mind and revisiting opinions of view you had earlier and seeing that perhaps they were time-bound, or bound by where you were, but you're willing to say, no, i think i'll move in a different direction, and i think that is what we need always. ... our time >> thank you very much and best wishes to both ofl you.

You probably think that you are better now, better now
You only say that 'cause I'm not around, not around
You know I never meant to let you down, let you down
Woulda gave you anything, woulda gave you everything
You know I say that I am better now, better now
I only say that 'cause you're not around, not around
I did not believe that it would end, no
Everything came second to the Benz oh
You're not even speaking to my friends, no
You knew all my uncles and my aunts though
Twenty candles, blow 'em out and open your eyes
We were looking forward to the rest of our lives
Used to keep my picture posted by your bedside
Now it's in your dresser with the socks you don't like
And I'm rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin'
With my brothers like it's Jonas, Jonas
Drinkin' Henny and I'm tryna forget
But I can't get this shit outta my head
I seen you with your other dude
He seemed like he was pretty cool
I was so broken over you
Life it goes on, what can you do?
I just wonder what it's gonna take
Another foreign or a bigger chain
Because no matter how my life has changed
I keep on looking back on better days
I promise
I swear to you I'll be okay
You're only the love of my life (love of my life)

Princess Amber likes to do things that confound people. She did not have any problem with this guy but she teased him and when he had fallen for her teasing, she turned on him and she used her feet to dominate him. He was shocked at the sudden change and he was scared because he did not know what would come later. The guy was shaking as she trampled him.
Trampling her slave is what this mistress wanted to do. She had tried to talk to her slave but he did not seem to change what she wanted him to change. So she was left with no other option but to punish him and make him know that she meant business. She trampled his face using her flip flops and then with her bare feet. When she was done, he was in pain, felt humiliated and swore never to ignore her again.
This hot mother and daughter have their own family foot slave. They both lie on the bed together with their old slave knelt down by their feet. One of them has bare feet and the other has stockings on her feet. They make him lick and worship their feet and shove them in his mouth while they foot slap him. He loves it because he has a foot fetish.
Two girls stand on top of a slave and it seems like it's going to be a harmless trampling session but they start getting mean. Both of them stand on him with their full weight then start facestanding and crushing his face with their bare feet. They shove their bare feet in his face making him sniff and lick them and go back to stomping all over his body.
Rosie might look like a pretty and innocent blonde but she is very cruel to her female slave Clarissa. She is not satisfied by simply making her lick and sniff her socks and lick her bare feet. She puts her sweaty socks in a glass and pours water over them then makes her cute female slave drink every drop of the nasty sock drink. It's pretty mean but it's fun to watch.
Madame Marissa and her girlfriend wear masks as they trample and stomp all over their submissive male foot slave. She starts the video wearing black high heels with sharp heels while her gal pal wears shoes with wedge heels. He groans in pain as they walk all over his bare chest and abdomen. They then trample and stomp all over him while barefooted. One of them even jumps high and lands on his bare abdomen.
Madame Marissa is sitting on a tall kitchen stool while wearing a mask. She orders her submissive male foot slave to lick her dirty ankle boots while she enjoys a cup of coffee. He starts kissing her dirty boots from tip to the shaft. He doesn't clean them very well so she spits on them to help him out. She makes him lick the dirt and her spittle from her boots. Madame Marissa does let him lick her stinky bare feet as a reward.
A brunette beauty wearing a strapless black top and light blue denim shorts shows off her brown hiking boots. She takes them off to show her dirty white socks. Finally, she shows you her smelly bare feet in this point of view video. Too bad you can smell or touch her or her smelly feet. The brunette beauty starts humiliating you by calling you names and how sick your foot fetish is.
A slender long-legged brunette bitch tramples on Murat's bare chest before she puts makeup on his face. She even crushes his balls while wearing white sneakers. Then she makes the Turkish foot slave lick the bottoms of her smelly sneakers. He takes off her shoes so he can lick her dirty white socks. Finally, Murat takes off her socks so he can lick the bottoms of her stinky bare feet.
This mistress wanted to send a strong message to her slave. She did not want to physically hurt him as in making him feel pain. But she wanted to humiliate him nonetheless. She made him lie down and she used her sweaty and stinky socks to humiliate him. She made him smell the socks and also lick her sweaty feet. She also choked him with her feet covering his mouth and nose.

This morning we spent our breakfast and our walk on the beach watching the Dolphins swim and the Pelicans fly by.
It was amazing to see the Dolphins breach the water and hear them splash in.
By the way because there were so many pictures, (what happens when you marry the daughter of a photographer) we have split them up into days. St George – Tuesday and so on. You will find that they all start in the Travel folder located here ……Travel Folder …. obviously we will fill each day as the days rolls through.

Willy Wonka
The Burtonesque Dolls have the theme "Williy Wonka" and they ask participants to "Create a new candy box, candy bag, chocolate bar, any fun and funky new candy you would find in Willy Wonka's factory." Well, I am not sure whether I hit the the theme with my card: I created some low-calorie crocheted candy in some Williy Wonka-like colours. There is also a girl bouncing around – she sneaked into the factory and ate to much candy there. And we all know how that ends!

text: This wine is a delicious representation of the vintage. Jammy fruit with tons of pepper fill the aromas. Black currant, juicy, ripe boysenberry and a touch of blackberry pie just jump from the glass. The palate is gorgeous with more fruity pie filling flavors, big tannins and a touch of spice.

I go to all this effort to bake and come out with wonderful results. That's very nice- but then I always seem to forget to take a picture of it! The thought comes right after everyone has dug into the cake, pie or whatever. I suppose I could take a picture half eaten as well- at least people could see that it is being consumed!
In any case, the pumkin-pecan pie chosen for this week's TWD recipe was lovely to look at and even better to taste. I must say, I was becoming a bit skeptical about the recipes in the book, since the last few I've made were quite unimpressive- even nasty tasting.
The crust that Dorie uses did not work at all for me. I prefer using all butter. I went ahead and tried her recipe with a combination of shortening and butter and it just didn't work for me. I had to throw it out! Ouch! It was probably a mistake of some sort that I made and not the recipe , but I went back to my old standard that has worked so well for me over and over again. The recipe comes from Marcy Goldman's Better Baking site- http://www.betterbaking.com/viewRecipe.php?recipe_id=1193
The filling was delicious. I took the pie to a staff Thanksgiving dinner last nite and it was the first to go. I will definitely make this again!
This week my youngest daughter will be entering the Israeli Army. My baby is flying from the nest! The house will seem strange with just the two of us here. On the bright side- more time for baking and another group of tasters for my baked goods. I am looking forward to sending her back each week with a box of yummies. Until next time...........

I'm glad it was a hit! I've had a hard time with Dorie's crust, though it's sure delicious when it does work out. Good luck to your daughter on her new adventure!ReplyDelete
A few people have made changes with the crust. Glad you found something that works for you.ReplyDelete
I'm an all butter crust girl myself. Glad yours worked for you!ReplyDelete
Thank you so much Yael, for participating with me this week! Sorry to not be able to see a picture of your pie, though...ReplyDelete
I'm gald it turned out so well. Welcome to TWD!ReplyDelete

On the day that I would meet my former high school teacher for the first time in decades, I commenced a journey by train from the hotel I stayed to the station of our rendezvous. I had made a detailed plan beforehand for this train trip since quite a few transfers were involved along the way and the area was unfamiliar to me. I took the first train and repeatedly looked over the note I had taken for which train of what time at which station to catch. The plan was perfect. Now that I got on the first train right on schedule, all I needed to do was just moving the rest of the way according to the note. The train arrived at the station where I was to make the first transfer. I was standing in front of the car door to get off when the train stopped. Oddly, the automatic door wouldn't open. I was waiting for a while until I heard the departure bell ring and noticed a sign saying 'This Door Doesn't Open. Use One at Opposite End of Car' I panicked instantly. The train was about to depart and I had to reach the opposite end of this long car. I dashed down the aisle like a sprinter while all the passengers were startled at my frenzied run. I was barely in time to get off. As I passed a close call of the day, I transferred to the other train line with a relief. Then, the bigger trial assaulted me on the platform of that line. An electric board that shows the upcoming trains in the green light had turned all red. It indicated that all the trains were delayed severely by heavy rain and the next train was cancelled. My jaw dropped. I didn't see that coming as it wasn't raining at all here. Plus, the next train that had been cancelled was the very train I was going to take. What are odds that the exact train I was taking is the only train cancelled among all? Taking that train was crucial because I had more transfers to make on the way ahead. Missing that train would disrupt the whole connections. A big piece to complete my journey fell off and my perfect plan came to naught unexpectedly quickly. Now I was officially in a panic mode. I tried to come up with an alternative, thinking hard about which train to take instead and where to transfer to get to my destination. When I frantically looked through information boards on the platform, a delayed, out-of-schedule train came in. Its destination was a big famous terminal that I thought would take me somewhere from. I hopped on it, and found out that the train to which I was going to transfer later would also stop at the terminal. If I had caught it there, I still could have made it on time for the planned appointment. As soon as the train arrived at the terminal, I was a dashing sprinter again, rolling down and up the stairs to move between the platforms like a cartoon character. When I zipped by a businessman in a flash in the middle of a flight, my bag somehow caught his umbrella. I found myself running dangling an umbrella. I ran down to him who gaped at me, returned his umbrella, ran up again, reached the platform and jumped in the train. Inside, I realized that the train wasn't what I had planned to take but the one happened to be there after a few hours' delay. It didn't depart on schedule, which meant I didn't have to dash around the terminal like a maniac. This unknown train turned out to go straight to my destination without transfer. In a very weird way, I made up for the disruptive schedule with each delayed train and arrived almost on time. I stepped out of the train, completely exhausted. I wondered why I had to endure great hardship like this in order just to reunite with my former teacher. It wasn't such a long distance. I simply wanted to see my teacher and bridge the decades' gap. It was supposed to be easy, but it wasn't. I saw the reason why I had never tried to see her up until now. I wasn't brave enough to show myself to her. I had believed I ought to be successful when I met her again. I hadn't had the courage to admit that I haven't achieved anything and I was still nothing. To see her, I needed to verify what I've done in my life so far and get over my foolish pride that I had held onto for a long time. In this trip, I challenged it. This trying journey to see her signified a long difficult way to accept who I am. I struggled around, but reached after all in an accidental way. Over the ticket gate at the station, I spotted her waiting for me smiling...

Bruce Wood Floor Fillers - More and more individuals are choosing wood floorings for anybody with allergies. If a physician recommends a wood flooring for your spine and joints do not be surprised. Wood is known to give a little and may be more easy . Reclaimed wood floorings and antique are an ever popular trend in flooring.
Reclaimed and Antique wood could be milled to appear to be new, or occasionally wood with bolt holes, nail holes, as well as other fastener marks which make these characteristics part of the appeal is looked for by consumer. The old lumber will have pastoral character marks from several years of use and exposure. Antique wood flooring could be reclaimed from lumber salvaged from dismantled edifices and old barns.
A rustic wood flooring will have more of the natural character including distinctive color variations, knots, possible insect marks, surface checking and changing grain patterns. Reclaimed or Antique flooring normally comes from our early American history in the old growth forests. They could still be present in floorings in old houses and historical structures in several areas of the country, today. This wood shows character unmatched by any artificial means.
This vintage lumber has unparalleled architectural quality and character, and of course beauty. Some antique wood flooring, occasionally called country hardwood flooring is made from salvaged oak, maple, cherry, hickory, walnut, chestnut, white oak and also other vintage reclaimed woods. No two floors are exactly equally and generally could be present in random widths.

The Hot Creek Fish Hatchery is just opposite the airport which you passed on your drive to Mammoth Lakes, located just off Highway 395. Since it is easy to miss, just past the airport is a small road that says airport and that leads to the hatchery. Follow the signs to Hot Creek Fish Hatchery to view trout in outdoor rearing ponds.
From the hatchery, continue east two miles to see the bubbling hot water show at Hot Creek shown above.
The Hot Creek Fish Hatchery is important as it is the life blood of Mammoth Lakes. During the fishing season over a million people come to Mammoth Lakes to enjoy hiking, golf and outdoor sports including fishing. With all this tourism, the lakes do not have enough time to regenerate themselves, so they need help from the various fish hatcheries in our area. It is all driven by the economy... if there are no fish, then there are no fisherman. With no fisherman, there is no one to stay in the lodging, eat at the restaurants, buy the sporting goods or generate tax dollars to pay for any services for any other activity. So the Mammoth Lakes "food chain" starts with breeding and raising baby trout. The tours of the ponds are quite unique and a nice lesson on keeping nature in balance.
With this driving and walking tour you are exploring the rich eco tourism that Mammoth has to offer. If you have already explored Convict Lake, you should check out the other locations listed.
On your return to town, turn right onto Old Mammoth Road just
below Lake Mary, and continue down this winding road past the area's
first mining site and historic Mill City. The Mammoth Museum
is how housed in Hayden Cabin which is just past the meadow and golf course, along Mammoth Creek.
Mammoth Ranger Station and Welcome Center
Highway 203, Mammoth Lakes, CA 93546

I waited outside the stall, when I noticed her feet had disappeared. Hey, where did you go? The door swung open. She was squatting above the toilet, both bare feet on the seat.
This is the most natural way for women to pee, she told me.
I admired her devotion to a more natural lifestyle but also had to suppress a giggle. For me, it was all too much work, the way she slipped out of her sandals, rolled up her bell bottoms so they wouldn't dip into the bowl,
then balance herself with both hands flat against the walls.
Ok let's get your luggage, I said. She would be staying for a month.
My sister held up a backpack and a small overnight case with a handle.
This is all I brought, she said.
Inside the case, small shelves and drawers filled with vitamins and packets of herbs to be placed under the tongue for desired spiritual states.
She brought no clothes except some extra halter tops.
It was clear she had become what we used to call a real freak--a bound and determined hippie.
I merely wore army surplus jackets and hairbands. My behavior didn't stray far from conventional. I was too anxious or maybe just too lazy to explore radically different lifestyles. But my sister? She was the real thing.
Tall and thin, her body was perfect for hip huggers and bra-less halter tops. She refused to shave any hair on her body, rejected makeup, was drawn to everything third world and eventually became an anthropologist. When she was 20, she had a boyfriend who was a jazz musician and heroine addict. Next came a health food specialist. Eventually she married a social activist from Columbia, then a teacher from Morocco.
Once in winter, she walked through the snow barefoot because that's how Native Americans once did it.
When we sat in my apartment in Munich, she played the first of several tape recordings her boyfriend made for her trip, mostly pep talks about staying on a macrobiotic diet, using herbs liberally, holding on to positive thoughts.
Her commitment to those youthful ideals has endured until the present time. Last summer she taught school in an African village. The summer before, she worked on a Peruvian dairy farm. Our mother thought my sister too self-controlled. Our mother, a woman with an exuberant and moody personality, considered self-control a flaw. But my sister knows that's how you change yourself and the world, and how you don't give mothers the satisfaction of seeing how they hurt you.

Apropos of two of my recent posts, a new Gallup poll finds 51% of Americans want the torture of detainees investigated, and 55% of Americans approve of the torture they've heard about so far.
So, like I was saying:
- The people who did it and now are trying to evade responsibility for it really don't have much to fear from the American people knowing what they did.
- Investigating, even prosecuting, these people would not re-establish the rule of law in this country.

Anish Kapoor, a London-based artist known for ambitious public works, said on Thursday that National Rifle Association had agreed to erase an image of his Chicago sculpture known as the Bean from one of its videos, settling his lawsuit against the group.
"We are pleased to declare victory over the N.R.A.," Mr. Kapoor said in a statement.
His 110-ton stainless steel sculpture in Chicago's Millennium Park, titled "Cloud Gate" but more popularly known by its shape, was completed in 2006 and has become a popular tourist attraction, especially because of how it reflects the city's skyline.
The N.R.A. used a shot of the work in a video last year called "The Violence of Lies." In it, a spokeswoman, Dana Loesch, delivers a straight-to-camera message excoriating liberals for "using their media to assassinate real news" and teaching children that President Trump "is another Hitler," among other statements.
A split-second shot of Chicago skyscrapers, with "Cloud Gate" in foreground, appears when Ms. Loesch says, "And then they use their ex-president to endorse the Resistance," referring to Barack Obama, a longtime resident of the city.
In June, Mr. Kapoor filed suit in Federal District Court in Chicago alleging copyright infringement.
"N.R.A. never asked Plaintiff for permission to use 'Cloud Gate' and plaintiff never granted it — and never would have granted it," his court filing said.
The lawsuit said that Mr. Kapoor had asked the N.R.A. to remove the image of the sculpture, which is owned by the city of Chicago, but that the group had declined. Mr. Kapoor said in the court filing that he had registered "Cloud Gate" with the United States Copyright Office, giving him control over how it is used.
The N.R.A. successfully petitioned to have the case moved to federal court in Alexandria, Va., near its headquarters. It said in court filings that it was allowed to use an image of a public sculpture, and that Mr. Kapoor was trying to "muzzle First Amendment-protected speech just because he apparently disagrees with the message conveyed."
In a statement, the N.R.A. said that Mr. Kapoor's lawsuit was "baseless" but that it agreed to remove the image "to avoid the cost and distraction of litigation." It also said that the settlement does not require the group to pay Mr. Kapoor any money.
Mr. Kapoor's statement did not say when the image was going to be deleted. As of Thursday afternoon, the video still featured the image.
The artist, however, took a victory lap, inviting in his statement the N.R.A. to do "the honorable thing" and donate $1 million to gun violence victims.
"They have now complied with our demand to remove the unauthorized image of my sculpture 'Cloud Gate' from their abhorrent video 'The Violence of Lies,' which seeks to promote fear, hostility and division in American society," he said in his statement. "Their bullying and intimidation has not succeeded."

This article is part of a monthly series dedicated to highlighting current trends in autoimmune disease research. My aim is to understand how research findings may affect future research, treatment advances, and technology solutions.
Italian study measures adherence to Mediterranean Diet in people with type 1 diabetes
This observational, two-center study assessed the food pattern intake of 262 people with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and 254 age/sex matched non-T1Ds in Italy. This study focused on the Mediterranean Diet characterized by a "low intake of animal fat and high intake of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, olive oil and moderate intake of fish, poultry, and red wine." The Mediterranean Diet is associated with a "reduction in 9% overall mortality from cardiovascular disease." There have been few studies that assess the Mediterranean Diet and include a control group, like this study, which aims to understand if T1Ds adhere to the Mediterranean Diet more than non-T1Ds.
The study measured a variety of clinical variables in both groups, and performed statistical analysis on the data. The results indicate that T1Ds had "healthier food intake patterns than the control group." Interestingly, T1Ds had a higher intake of potatoes, bread, and cereal – which is high in carbohydrates and counter to my own philosophy. T1Ds also had a higher intake of key nutrients and minerals. The researchers assessed that factors like location of residence, education level, and age were associated to the success of healthier food intake in the T1D group.
The study successfully addressed its purpose to understand if T1Ds have healthier eating patterns and adherence to the Mediterranean Diet than non-T1Ds. I am curious if a similar study was conducted on other dietary patterns in other regions what the results would reveal. [NCBI]
French study established recommendations for daily sugar intake
A literature review was conducted of mechanistic studies, prospective cohort studies, and randomized clinical trials. The working group sought out studies ranging from obesity and diabetes to cardiovascular disease and fatty liver disease. The aim was to assess if there was evidence in the scientific literature to link sugar consumption and health, with the intent of highlighting public health implications.
The results of the literature review indicate that there is an association between sugar intake and body weight gain, insulin resistance, and other factors. The work done by the working group was used by the ANSES Expert Committee on Human Nutrition to recommend that "total daily sugar intake should not exceed 100 g/day." It will be interesting to watch if and how policies/measures are implemented to help consumers reduced daily intake of sugar. As a note: one author received research grants from Nestle and Gatorade, while another received grants from the French Dairy Interbranch Organization. [NCBI]
Two weeks of reduced physical activity has long-term metabolic effects
Forty-five healthy adults participated in a step-reduction study in order to assess if short-term decreased physical exercise led to long term reduction in health. Sixteen of the participants had a close relative with type 2 diabetes and 29 not did. Multiple factors were measured before the participants began the study, like blood pressure, insulin levels, body fat, and body mass. Participants then had to reduce their daily step count from >10,000 to ~1,500 for 14 days. The same factors were measured after the 14 day period. Then participants resumed their daily step count at >10,000 for 14 days, at which point, the same measurements were taken.
Researchers noted that previous studies were "extreme experimental models" and "not representative of free-living individuals." Also addressed was the lack of a control group because recruitment for the study was difficult. Results of the study showed that there was no significant difference between the two groups. Both groups saw altered skeletal muscle insulin sensitivity that did not return to baseline and an increase in total body fat. Keep in mind, these results occurred after only two weeks of inactivity! [Springer]
Fast-acting insulin aspart provides improved post meal control
In a randomized, double‐blind, crossover trial, researchers addressed how-to lower post meal glucose with the introduction of new fast-acting insulin aspart. The goal is to better mimic non-T1D insulin response post meal with faster onset. The study had 41 T1Ds who underwent an initial screening visit, two dosing visits, and a follow-up visit. There were six hypoglycemic episodes, one due to fast-acting insulin aspart and five due to insulin aspart, within one-hour of dosing.
Overall, the main difference between the two control groups was insulin response within the first 1-2 hours after insulin was administered. The study concluded that fast-acting insulin aspart "provided earlier onset of exposure compared to insulin aspart," and "led to a trend towards improved 1-hour [post meal] control." I am hopeful that scientific advances will inch closer and closer to successfully mimicking non-T1D insulin response. The study was funded by Novo Nordisk. [NCBI]

Penn State Football: New Faces Step into the Spotlight as Next Chapter Begins
No matter how good you were in high school, no matter how highly recruited you might have been or how many camps you were invited to, the bright lights of college football are different.
Suddenly everything is harder: classes, workouts and the competition. Nothing comes easy, and once your freshman season at Penn State ends, the media is ready to ask about everything you do for the next few years [Penn State football policy doesn't allow for freshmen interviews.] You aren't watching interviews happen anymore, you're in the middle of them.
Welcome to the spotlight.
For different players, the spotlight means different things. In the case of Sean Clifford that means no longer being the quarterback of the future. It means being the quarterback of now. It means charity events, like Friday evening's Lift For Life. It means shaking hands, taking pictures and being the face of a program.
It means a whole lot more than what happens on the field. You were a guy, now you're THE guy.
"You really can't prepare for it, you've just got to be yourself," Clifford said on Friday. "I like to think of myself as someone who you can talk to, I love engaging with fans, I love talking to people because how I figure it, it's only going to happen for a certain amount of time. So in the end, there's going to be a day when nobody really cares who I am, so if I can brighten someone's day, that's the life I kinda want to live."
For players like sophomore tight end Pat Freiermuth, the spotlight means stepping up and doing it again and doing it better. It means going from a pleasant surprise one year to meeting even higher expectations the next. It means answering tough questions when things go poorly, and sharing the credit when things go well. And sure, there are worse things than being a team's rising star, but Freiermuth won't be the first or last player to miss the year he spent away from the cameras.
"I loved it," Freiermuth said with a laugh. "I liked it because it was a different thing off my plate. I didn't have to worry about if I'm going to say this, if I'm going to say that. I could just focus on school and football and it was cool just having it off my plate. Obviously I didn't expect that much but now I'm expecting it and I'm continuing to work for it and continuing to progress."
In the eyes of defensive tackle PJ Mustipher, getting back in front of the cameras is a reward in its own way. After a solid freshman year he's a name to watch, a player to talk to, someone fans and teammates will expect big things from.
So he too will miss that year when all he had to worry about was football, but talking to the media usually means you're doing something right. And if answering a few questions is the price for being good at your craft, Mustipher is happy to pay it.
"You've got so many things to focus on, so many things that you're learning," Mustipher said of his freshman year. "Not taking to the media, it's a good thing. You see guys interviews and you know your time will come, but I wasn't worried about that. I was trying to get the playbook down, trying to get my schoolwork down. I had things to focus on."
The attention he gets now as the season closes in?
"It's a testament for hard hard work. You work hard for stuff, you work hard to be on the field and you work hard for the recognitions. So it's just people expecting a lot out of me but that's been me my whole life. My parents instilled hard work in me and expecting big things out of me and I expect big things out of myself, bigger than anyone could expect for me. So it's noting new and I'm happy about it and it's time to go."
And for players like running back Ricky Slade, questions mean your time has come. No more Saquon Barkley, no more Miles Sanders, no more waiting, no more recruiting, no more anticipation.
So sure, he — like everyone else — enjoyed not having to face the noise, but he's also ready for his shot and everything that comes with it both on and off the field.
"It was fun, it was stress free," Slade said of his freshman year out of the media spotlight. "It was good to just not to talk to anybody. To play a game and just leave and go home. It got me ready, we had media training, so my whole freshman year when I couldn't talk I was talking to my teammates and stuff and it got me prepared for this moment, it was nice to have a break but I'm ready to come back and talk to you guys."

For Penn State, its young rising stars stepping in front of the camera is emblematic of a few things. It's a new chapter within the walls of the Lasch Building, the Nittany Lions who wrote the story of the last few years are largely on to bigger and better things. Now it's up to a new crop of players and stars to write what happens next.
Their play will speak louder than their words, but as many of them stepped in front of the camera for the first time in their Penn State careers on Friday, that new chapter began.

Earl Little's family is suing Pinckneyville Correctional Center and its former warden, claiming prison administrators know the man's violent cellmate posed a safety risk.
The family of a murdered Illinois inmate is suing Pinckneyville Correctional Center, saying they've received hitherto unknown information about the man who killed Earl Little.
Little, imprisoned on an armed robbery count, was purportedly choked to death by cellmate Daniel Mueller, 31. Mueller, a convicted murderer, may have broadcasted his intent to kill Little, according to the lawsuit.
He was transferred away from Pinckneyville the day after Little's body was found.
The State Journal-Register reports that no charges have yet been filed over Little's death.
However, Illinois Department of Corrections spokeswoman Lindsey Hess says that an investigation into the circumstances remains ongoing.
Little's family say they've received little feedback since summer. The 33-year old man left behind two sons, ages 5 and 7. The lack of background or updates from the government is proving a constant source of frustration for his sister, Dana Caley.
"All they said was he was found unresponsive in his cell," she said. "How do you find closure? You don't really know what happened. That's all his sons ask—what happened to their dad?"
Caley, notes the Register-Journal, is suing the facility and its acting warden, Scott Thompson. She says "personal sources" prompted the litigation, which suggests that Thompson and prison administrators didn't do enough to prevent Little's death.
In fact, Earl's surviving wife, Megan Little, claims that Pinckneyville staff "had prior notice, information and knowledge that Mr. Muller was an extremely dangerous and unpredictable individual who posed a high level of risk and danger to his fellow inmates."
Muller is currently serving a 30-year sentence for the strangulation murder of his then-girlfriend, Kayla Dillon, in 2012.
Little, notes WBEZ.org, is one of many who've died behind bars in Illinois. The state's Department of Corrections lists at least 166 people who've passed away under its watch from January of 2017 through September of last year.
Nearly half the fatalities recounted not apparent cause of death, with the department referring inquiries to specific prisons.
But when WBEZ says it followed up on several records requests, the Illinois Department of Corrections wasn't able to procure basic documents like death certificates and reports.
Jennifer Vollen-Katz, director of prison advocacy group John Howard Association of Illinois, says it's not unusual to hear families complain of lackluster investigations.
"Like so many other things that happen in a closed facility, the danger is abuse," she said.
Prompting the state to add more oversight and more transparency, Vollen-Katz said, "It doesn't mean that everyone is abusing power, but it means there is the potential for that to happen."
Little was, at the time of his death, beginning a 21-year prison sentence for armed robbery.

If you are the type of developer that builds for Experience Editor first and you are implementing a Twitter Bootstrap solution you will know that there are some CSS conflicts and issues in the Experience Editor. These issues don't change the functionality, but they are annoying and create a bad user experience.
In Sitecore 8, The Experience Editor ribbon is now inserted into the page rather then being in an iframe like in earlier versions of sitecore. So that means that there are javascript conflicts (talked about in another blog) and stylesheet issues if you should use css frameworks like Bootstrap.
1) The +Add here button in admin is cut off
Should Look like
2) The navigation bar doesn't show hover very well
Should Look like
3) The command buttons on admin don't have correct hover state

The solution
Until sitecore adds new css to their build there are some lines of css we can add to your css. If you add to sitecore's css, then on the next upgrade you will have to either check to see if they fixed and if they didn't then you will have to add back to css. Another way of doing it is create a new css file and add it to page when in Page Edit mode. Below is the css you need to make sure adds to the page:
/* Added to fix add this in Sitecore Admin */

Taiwan's offshore Penghu County is facing a serious oil pollution threat along some of its shores from a stranded Thailand-flagged freighter, a local official said Tuesday [Feb, 21, 2012]. The Oberon ran aground in shallow water off Mudou islet, part of the Penghu archipelago, early Sunday in strong winds. All 16 of the vessel's crew were taken off the battered vessel and the Penghu Defense Command dispatched 200 military personnel to clean leaked fuel oil from the beaches of nearby Siyu Township.More than 64 tons of oil had so far been collected, Col. Li Zi-cheng said.The contamination is "quite serious," Li told CNA in a telephone interview."We will continue the cleaning work in the coming week," he added. The Penghu Islands, also known as Pescadores, are an archipelago off Taiwan in the Taiwan Strait consisting of 90 small islands and islets covering an area of

The state of Mississippi has reached an agreement on civil penalties with one company over the BP oil spill. On Tuesday, Attorney General Jim Hood announced the settlement with MOEX Offshore. MOEX will pay $5 million to the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality's Pollution Emergency Fund. The company also agreed to pay an additional $5 million on supplemental environmental projects to promote conservation. The U. S. and five Gulf State affected by the spill jointly negotiated a $90 million settlement with MOEX. Hood says the settlement is only for civil penalties and does not cover damages.
