The 1874 edition of this work. Impugning John Stuart Mill's famous treatise, On Liberty, Stephen criticized Mill for turning abstract doctrines of the French Revolution into "the creed of a religion." Only the constraints of morality and law make liberty possible, warned Stephen, and attempts to impose unlimited freedom, material equality, and an indiscriminate love of humanity will lead inevitably to coercion and tyranny.

For the third consecutive season, we are proud to introduce the Deadspin Baseball Season Previews. Yes, baseball is awfully close now; it's spring training, after all.
Every weekday until the start of the season, a different writer will preview his/her team. We asked a gaggle of writers, from the Web, from print, from books, to tell us, in as many or as little words as they need, Where Their Team Stands. This is not meant to be factual, or dispassionate, or even logical: We just asked them to riff on why they love their team so much, or what their team means to them, or whatever.
Today: The Chicago White Sox. Your author is Claire Zulkey.
Claire Zulkey brings it daily at Zulkey.com. Her words are after the jump.
Well, the Sox are not celebrating their 100th anniversary of being World-Series-free, nor are any of their high-profile players starting off the year mired in the steroid scandal, so I would say they're already ahead of the metaphorical game. But the literal game? Well.
On a personal note, I didn't get the chance to follow my team as closely last year as I normally would have, which meant giving up some personal satisfaction in Jim Thome's 500th home run, Mark Buerhle's no-hitter or Bobby Jenks' tying the record for retiring 41 consecutive batters. Other than those highlights, though, I didn't miss much. But I have no excuses this season, and if I'm a true Sox fan I'm not about to stay away just because the team might not look as good as it did in 2005. Due to my mental absence last season, in addition to my own thoughts on the season, I've recruited a few friends and loved ones to assist with the prospectus, to make this ChiSox outlook as comprehensive and crabby as possible.
Last season the offense seemed pitiful despite some of the big bats in the lineup. Now, the acquisition of Nick Swisher and Orlando Cabrera plus Carlos Quentin and Alexei Ramirez means that we might not look as sad against lefties like C.C. Sabathia (who I've come to expect on opening day the way I expect the weather to bring about much glove-muffled clapping.) Plus, Pablo Ozuna no longer has that broken leg, and as much as I liked Tadahito Iguchi, he'd have a higher percentage than him if he started at second base. If given a chance, too, Jerry Owens could be a decent leadoff man, plus we need another base stealer with Scott Podsednik gone.
"All things considered, the offense should be improved, but, as my Dad always said, winning is 80% pitching," says my dad, Ed Zulkey. "In 2005, we had four really solid starters and, for most of the year a great bullpen. Last year, the starting was erratic and the bullpen was the worst in baseball, except for Jenks. This year, it should be improved with the acquisition of Scott Linebrink and Octavio Dotel. The key will be the starters. Last year Buerle was uncertain if he would be traded and now has security. Javier Vazquez looks good. Jose Contreras, our ace in '05 and first half of '06 was awful last year and he needs to return to his old ways when he won three post-season games. Then, we will start two young guys, John Danks and Gavin Floyd, who must contribute, but there are good arms available. This is all very iffy, but it is for almost all teams today." With the Sox considering Bartolo Colon, I think fans would rather look towards some fresh untested talent than a vet who's nearly out of gas, because we have been there and done that, David Wells.
Currently only nine players of the original 2005 team remain, although I'm not one to reminisce about the old times just for old times' sake. That's fine for going through the photo album but it's not practical when it comes to dealing with the season at hand. Jon Garland seems like he'll be missed personally by the organization but if the team is lucky with the new pitchers his absence won't be too painful. Joe Crede will definitely be missed but hopefully a trade can give Josh Fields more chances to live up to his potential. Mark Buerhle, who is the heart and soul of the team is still there as well as the big guy, Bobby Jenks, and my would-be husband, Paul Konerko.
"Despite your devotion to Paulie, I believe the Sox will try to trade him if the opportunity arises," says my dad's friend Randy (the two of them like to call each other after Sox games and hash out what the score should have been.) "They need another starting pitcher and the Angels have that in Ervin Santana. I am worried about going with Danks and Floyd, not to mention what we get out of Contreas. Also, Crede will be traded, most likely, for pitching. Swisher can't be an everyday centerfielder, so trading Konerko opens first base up for Nick to play. Maybe the Sox get Chone Figgins from the Angels along with Santana. Figgins brings speed, plus he can play center field."
Williams' trades or lack thereof will only seem genius or idiotic with time. "They didn't get Torii Hunter, which is probably a blessing in disguise, 'cause he's aging and overrated and plays for those damn Twins whose fans always have this giant, Scandinavian smug and pleasant condescension that drives me nuts," says my friend Joe Drogos, who has only lived out of state when he hasn't lived on the South Side. "I'm much more hurt that they didn't get Rowand back. I actually spent a lot of time writing a letter to the editor when he got traded. He, Buerhle, Jenks, Thome, A.J. Pierzynski, and Konerko could form a fan-favorite hall-of-fame, especially in Bridgeport. Instead, they got this knock-off Rowand, Nick Swisher, whose very name (and hairstyle ) suggests something considerably less manly than Thome's "I'm your dad who works at the Peoria Caterpillar plant and stars in the company 16-inch team on weekends" look.
We got a couple middle-relievers, but I just want Buerhle to have a few seasons where the team is hitting behind him, the relievers are winning the games he's setting up, and he's taking crossbow practice in the bullpen during off days. Let's give this pudgy bastard the success he deserves, you know?"
I'm can't predict whether the Sox, with the moves they've made, have any hope in the postseason and my ever-gloomy South Sideness also leads me to be cautiously pessimistic, especially with the Tiger and Indians looking good once again. But it felt like last season was full of missed opportunities and a team that did not add up to the sum of its parts. It does seem like Kenny Williams and Jerry Reinsdorf are trying, and I just want that to translate to the field. Plus, Ozzie Guillen seems to be promising that he'll be meaner, more loud and foul-mouthed than last season, which at the very least would add up to more excitement. As my friend Leonard Pierce says, "I feel like this could be a pretty good year for the boys. So many bizarre trades that make no sense have been made, I think something good has gotta happen — the last time Kenny made this many goofball trades was in '05 when we won it all."
Well, I don't know about that, but if it's a rebuilding season, I'm fine with that as long as it doesn't feel like the team has given up by the time summer rolls around.

Passenger Nick O'Donoghue was on board an EasyJet flight flying back from Austria to Cork when his fellow passengers began to point to a strange phenomenon outside the aircraft.
Mr. O'Donoghue told to the Dailymail: I was gazing out the window and was amazed to see a figure in the distance in front of us and then as we flew closer the bizarre shape of a human-like figure walking along the clouds appeared.
Despite the figure was a bit away in the distance, I was able to watch the shadow figure for about two minutes and took some images of the strange phenomenon before then the aircraft slowly passed it.

Serious Reads: Consider the Fork, by Bee Wilson
All products linked here have been independently selected by our editors. We may earn a commission on purchases, as described in our affiliate policy.
While preparing the half-dozen side dishes and desserts I was commissioned to make for my family Thanksgiving, I used the following implements: whisk, knife, cutting board, 2-quart saucepan, 3-quart saucepan, baking sheet, spatula (rubber and metal), three casseroles, measuring cups, teaspoon, far too many forks, and a wooden spoon. And all that while making a concerted effort to eyeball measurements and reduce the frenzy and mess inevitable when I'm tasked with too many cooking projects. I am very thankful that my family's kitchen is well-stocked with multiples of each of the listed tools and more. And that I have a whole afternoon to clean before everyone comes home from work.
Given my heavy use of kitchen equipment, it seemed an appropriate day to read Consider the Fork: A History of How We Cook and Eat, by Bee Wilson. Wilson, a prolific food writer, looks at the development of cooking techniques and implements around the world. She traces these devices through centuries of recorded history and up to the modern day.
Each chapter is themed around a specific cooking need: "Pots and Pans," "Measure," "Fire," "Ice," and so on. Within those topics, Wilson discusses how ancient civilizations used early adaptations of now commonplace technologies. The first bowls and pots were, unsurprisingly, hollowed-out gourds and plants. When bronze and other metals came along, vessels were made out of more permanent and valuable materials. Not much has changed in the basic construction of a pot, but the durability and conductivity of various materials has been studied closely to create the best cooking device.
Some kitchen questions remain lively debates, such as: what is the most effective type of heat for cooking? Throughout history we've used coal, wood, gas, and oil in efforts to find an effective and safe heat source. Cooks still take sides on which medium cooks most evenly and cleanly. (I think I'd choose gas, but there's nothing quite like the smell of a wood stove...)
I found Wilson's chapters on eating implements—forks, spoons, knives, chopsticks, etc.—quite interesting. There were significant changes in public opinion about these implements throughout history, for instance, in the 1600s, a man would never have eaten from a fork. But by the 1800s, forks were universal in European culture. Wilson also explores the development of the complicated rules about how to use chopsticks. She observes that while not every culture uses forks or knives, "all the peoples of the world use spoons," a truism that provides interesting reflection on human character and culture.
Consider the Fork doesn't delve too deeply into specific cultures or traditions of cooking—her lens is too broad to focus on small details. But the book provides an interesting perspective on the dozens of implements now considered commonplace in most well-stocked American kitchens. Especially during Thanksgiving week, when a broken stand mixer or Cuisinart on the fritz can create a tizzy of stress, it's wise to reflect on the centuries of technological innovation that allowed us to stock our dirty kitchens in the first place.

9 Worst Drugstore Body Lotions
See which ones, from Aveeno to Vaseline, won't be on readers' shopping lists ever again
Why: Readers thought this was much more of a sunscreen than a lotion. "It has an incredibly strong sunscreen smell," one reader says. "It's strange because their [Aveeno's] actual sunscreens smell less like a sunscreen than this," another adds. Besides their number one problem with the smell, one reader also says, "It seems really thick and pasty... I can't tell where it helped my dry skin at all."

Pizza Obsessives: Michael Berman, New York Contributor
Slice interviews with folks who are mad about pizza.
Those plugged into the pizza blog scene may already know Michael Berman from his own project, Pizzacentric. Now let's see what makes this pizza-loving man tick. —MS
Name: Michael Berman
Location: Brooklyn, NY
Occupation: Photographer, Writer
URL(s): Twitter @michaelberman; seriouseats.com/MichaelBerman; pizzacentric.com; msbphotography.com
What type of pizza do you prefer?
It depends. For a benchmark, I like to try plain tomato and mozzarella, and I usually prefer the quality of fresh mozzarella to that of low-moisture mozzarella. But plenty of places have toppings or combinations that stand out above and beyond plain.
The Pizza Cognition Theory states that "the first slice of pizza a child sees and tastes ... becomes, for him, pizza." Do you remember your first slice? Where was it from, is the place still around, and if so, does it hold up? On that note, has your taste in pizza evolved over time?
I don't remember my first slice. But growing up in the Maryland suburbs of Washington, DC, there were two pizzerias that I had often: Pizza Oven, in Rockville; and the Pines of Rome, in Bethesda. I'm pretty sure Pizza Oven is gone (they made rectangular pies with thin crust and elevated edges), but the Pines of Rome is still there—and still making great pizza, I should add. (If you go to the Pines of Rome, try both the red and the white pizzas.)
What's your favorite topping or topping combination?
Usually plain. But I like sausage when it's good, fresh garlic and basil are great, and mushrooms when they're thin and not canned. At Luigi's in Brooklyn (Fifth Avenue and 22nd Street) they bring amazing tomatoes from the father's Staten Island garden—unbelievable as a topping. I also love clams, so I am a sucker for good clam pizza.
Also, don't overlook condiments! South Brooklyn Pizza makes a couple of good ones in house (roasted garlic and marinated hot peppers). In Italy, if you ask for hot peppers, they give you hot pepper olive oil. It's great. I think Paulie Gee has that in Brooklyn.
You are in serious pizza territory with lots of great options, but do you have a go-to in your area?
My regular pizza for delivery is the "grandma" from House of Pizza and Calzone. I order it with fresh mozzarella. (I also add a side order of spinach sauteed with garlic, which gets spread onto some of the slices.) I use the toaster oven to reheat slices. It works great and requires no maintenance.
Do you make pizza at home? If so, how? What recipes do you use?
I like to make grilled pizza at home. The dough recipe I use is from Chowhound (here's the link.) I find it needs more flour than the recipe calls for. And you can make it by hand (without a stand mixer) pretty easily. The trick in grilling is to put coals only on one side of the grill (or leave one half off, if it's a gas grill) to prevent it from burning.
What one thing should NEVER go on a pizza?
I know we've seen that here on Slice before, but have you ever been in a position to try a pasta topped pizza?
I've never had spaghetti on pizza, I answered "spaghetti" because I tried to think of something that would be most ridiculous. We live in a day and age where chocolate and eggs can go on pizza (hopefully, separately). Those things aren't my cup of tea, but I'd try them if the opportunity presented itself. I think I tried a Nutella pizza somewhere sometime. It was good. But, you know, I'm just as good with a crêpe.
So, what is the most unusual pizza you've ever eaten?
I guess I don't take too many risks. Or maybe I haven't been anywhere weird enough. I like toppings to be good quality. I'd rather avoid industrial foods—which is what I suspect most pepperoni is, for instance. Maybe I'm naive about the sourcing of much of the sausage, but I like to think that it could be "homemade" by some local place, and that therefore it's a better choice in terms of meat toppings. For sure, there's more variety in sausage.
But pizza's not the healthiest food, and I'm 44, so I do try to steer clear of extra artery cloggers as much as I can. I love clams. I'd guess that 100 years ago clams on pizza might have sounded unusual. In the last decade or so, I think we've become very flexible in the range of ingredients we find okay for pizza.
What is the farthest you've traveled for pizza?
I've been to Italy a number of times but I go mainly to see friends. Pizza is of course a natural byproduct of those visits.
Here in NYC I will get it in my mind to try pizza from some place I've read about and I might drive for half an hour in a rainstorm, having already eaten lunch, because I have to know what it's like right away.
We look forward to getting the first-hand report on your impulse investigations for sure! What about places in Italy? Any favorites?
I've been to Rome several times because I have friends who live there. Several years ago my friend Alexia brought me to a place on the outskirts—it's called Angelo e Simonetta—where she said I've gotta try it because they win awards in Rome. True enough, there are trophies and certificates scattered around the place. And they make excellent pizza al taglio. I go there every chance I get. (I wrote a piece, which includes video, on pizzacentric.
There was a place on Campo dei Fiori that's not there anymore. It was a little room on the long side of the square. An older woman cut your slices to size (as is customary with pizza al taglio), and their mushroom slice was incredible. Room temperature. But that place isn't there anymore.
I haven't been to Naples, but I plan to go this summer.
What do your family and/or friends think of your pizza madness?
They all like pizza too—except for one friend I have who hates cheese. But we do need a break from pizza now and then. It gets to be a little too much from time to time.
Thanks for sitting in the hot seat, Michael! It's been a real pleasure getting to know a little bit more about you, and we look forward to having more of your pizza insights in the future!

his success in installing Windows 7 through grub4dos .iso mapping.
Same method is failing for member Demontager:
I was able to boot only and actually when setup process should started get these errors:
"A required CD/DVD drive device is missing. If you have a driver floppy disk, CD,DVD, or USB flash drive, please insert it now.
And the issue is confirmed by the sheer existence of the Chinese post/thread maanu found:
which details a workaround making use of IMDISK
I contacted triiui via PM (reproduced by permission):
yeah do it, np.
It seems like you incorrectedly posted here:
that Windows 7 install works, while it does not.
Please do confirm you actually booted it successfully WITHOUT the "missing" CD/DVD problem and/or start a new thread detailing HOW you did it.
Uhm thats so wierd, like 3 hours ago I installed it into the HDD of my school without any kind of problem. Also I formated my computer yesterday due to some problems I had with the HDD and reinstalled Windows 7 with that method.
So its actually working. Maybe it's working, because I have Windows XP installer there, on the root of the pen, so when its looking for X file or configuration, it takes the XP configuration and works anyway. Im not sure tho.
If you know surely that you get problems if you boot the .iso from grub4dos, you are free to delete it, as much more people might have problems with that too.
No , actually I would like to keep it AND provide a better solution instead of the "manual" command for IMDISK.
If you don't mind I'll start a new thread, citing what happened and your current confirmation. (can I cite verbatim your PM?)
As soon as you have an occasion to install 7 on some machine, are you willing to investigate (basically by deleting little by little anything BUT windows 7 .iso, grub4dos and menu.lst) which files may be responsible of it working?
I will try to investigate about this; im a bit busy because of school right now, but I will check why it is working for me. I might be maybe just lucky? haha
Any idea/insight/suggestion/report is welcome.
I anyway refuse to attribute the success or insuccess to
There must be a reason....

Conventional wisdom has it that heart attacks come out of the blue. We're also trained to expect a heart attack to happen a certain way: The victim clutches his chest, writhes in pain, and collapses. But for women, it often doesn't happen that way. Study after study shows heart attacks and heart disease are under-diagnosed in women, with the explanation being that they didn't have symptoms.
But research shows that's not always the case. Women who've had heart attacks realize, looking back, that they experienced significant symptoms — they just didn't recognize them as such.
In a study funded by the National Institutes of Health and published in Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Association, 95 percent of women (that's almost all!) who'd had heart attacks reported experiencing symptoms that were decidedly new or different from their previous experience a month or more before their attacks.
Even when a heart attack is occurring, women are often slow to realize what's happening and call a doctor. The reason? Women's heart attack symptoms are different than men's. This failure to recognize heart attack signs in women has led to a grim statistic: Women are more likely to die from sudden cardiac death than men are, and two thirds of women who have a heart attack don't recover completely.
To prevent a heart attack from sneaking up on you, watch for these 7 little-known signs of heart attack:
Fatigue. More than 70 percent of women in the NIH study reported extreme fatigue in the month or months prior to their heart attacks. This was not just your run-of-the-mill tiredness — the kind you can power through — this was an overwhelming fatigue that sidelined them from their usual schedules for a few days at a time.
Sleeplessness or insomnia. Despite their fatigue, women who've had heart attacks remember experiencing unexplained inability to fall asleep or stay asleep during the month before their heart attacks.
Anxiety and stress. Stress has long been known to up the risk of heart attack. But what women report is the emotional experience; before their heart attacks they felt anxious, stressed, and keyed up, noticeably more than usual. Moments before or during a heart attack, many women report a feeling they describe as "impending doom;" they're aware that something's drastically wrong and they can't cope, but they're not sure what's going on.
Indigestion or nausea. Stomach pain, intestinal cramps, nausea, and digestive disruptions are another sign reported by women heart attack patients. Become familiar with your own digestive habits, and pay attention when anything seems out of whack. Note especially if your system seems upset and you haven't eaten anything out of the ordinary.
Shortness of breath. Of the women in the NIH study, more than 40 percent remembered experiencing this symptom. One of the comments the women made is that they noticed they couldn't catch their breath while walking up the stairs or doing other daily tasks.
Flu-like symptoms. Clammy, sweaty skin, along with feeling lightheaded and weak, can lead women to wonder if they have the flu when, in fact, they're having a heart attack.
Jaw, ear, neck, back, or shoulder pain. While pain and numbness in the chest, shoulder, and arm is a common sign of heart attack (at least, among men), women often don't experience the pain this way. Instead, many women say they felt pain and a sensation of tightness running along their jaw and down the neck, and sometimes up to the ear, as well. The pain may extend down to the shoulder and arm–particularly on the left side–or it may feel like a backache or pulled muscle in the neck and back.
How to protect yourself or the women you care about
In addition to the symptoms they do have, women differ from men in another significant way — they may not experience many of the symptoms we traditionally associate with heart attacks. This, experts say, is a major reason why women's heart attacks go unrecognized and untreated. Almost half of all women in the NIH study felt no chest pain, even during the heart attack itself. Numbness is another symptom women may not experience, experts say.
If your body is doing unusual things and you just don't feel "right," don't wait. Go see your doctor and ask for a thorough work-up. And if you have any risk factors for cardiac disease, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, smoking, or family history of heart disease, mention these to the doctor. Time is of the essence, so don't count on medical staff to know your background or read your chart — tell them your risk factors right away, so your condition can be evaluated fully and completely.

Complutum was an important Roman city at the center of Spain, 50 Has large, built during Claudius reign but with a great development between the 3rd and 5th c. AD. After important excavations during Spanish Siglo de Oro, it was almost forgotten along 19 and 20th centuries. It was re-discovered in the 1980's and last years´ works. Under the management of archaeologists Sebastián Rascón Marqués and Ana Lucía Sánchez Montes, it has reached important finds about urbanism and public and private constructions. The project, supported by different grants (Alcalá de Henares City Council -Alcalá was Miguel de Cervantes born place and is also a World Heritage Site-; Regional Government of Madrid; and different Ministries of the Spanish Government) includes the research, preservation of the site and the opening of some places to the public: casa de Hippolytus, in 1999, forum in 2009 and regio II in 2012.
This year of 2013, the Day of Archaeology finds us working on casa de los Grifos, a special domus near Complutum forum, that has been dug continuously since 2004: a classic peristylum house of 900 sq meters plus porticoes, with an important collection of Roman wall painting. The house was ruined in the 3th c., maybe when they were working, and was never reconstructed. This allows us to find almost the whole house painted decorations, and lots of data about everyday Roman life, covered in the ruins of ancient roofs.
In 2013 we are carrying three different works: the main one is the excavation and restoration of ambulacrum South and ambulacrum West, in the peristylum. Plus the catalogue of wall paintings from some rooms, and specific excavations of Classics Department from Universidad Autónoma de Madrid. So, a group of about 20 people will be working at Casa de los Grifos from May to September.

You knew it would happen.
With alternative investments multiplying faster than a furry tribble, it was only a matter of time before they hit the socially responsible investing space. And that time is now.
In mid-December, the Renewable Energy Industrial Index (RENIXX) hit its lowest point ever. The index tracks 30 of the largest green energy producers. It reached its nadir just as news broke that A123, a Massachusetts-based company that manufactured electric car batteries and received a $249 million federal grant, was purchased by China's largest auto parts maker at a bankruptcy auction.
It reminds us that although it might lead to a better sense of satisfaction and self-worth, green investing still struggles to deliver greenbacks. It encourages critics of SRI, ESG and other screens to argue for chucking it all, investing for maximum return no matter the sector or industry, and donating part of the proceeds to pet projects.
Tim Freundlich doesn't buy it.
"Is investing [in general] purely economically driven, like in a really fundamental sense?" the president of Impact Assets rhetorically asked. "No. It's all sorts of stuff including ego and brand. So I just reject it as too simplistic."
Impact Assets is a donor-advised fund dedicated to the concept of impact investing, a next-gen SRI play that "takes the best of the for-profit and the nonprofit systems and blends them to yield social, environmental and financial returns." It's a spin-off from the Calvert Foundation, which is convenient, since Freundlich has zeal for the cause bordering on religious.
"It is very much oriented around creating a direct, measurable impact in the world around the issue areas in which the investors care," he said. "At its core, in terms of the vehicles, it tends to correlate more toward direct private debt, as well as equity alternatives categories."
More importantly, "it actually invests in real enterprises on the ground, real entrepreneurs and innovators who are solving some of the most intractable social and environmental problems of our times, and they're creating real, scalable businesses."
It's attracted the attention of the Clinton Global Initiative, the stable of business, entertainment and government heavies lined up by the former president. As my colleague Michael Fischer noted in December, Goldman Sachs and Bank of America have recently launched impact investing products, which means there's real money behind the strategy.
In 2011, $4.4 billion was dedicated to impact investing, which Freundlich said is the "tip of the iceberg," with $650 billion in immediate market potential "if they could figure out what it was and where to do it."
That's a major reason he's out there educating and informing.
"The tech cash-outs, they're all over this stuff. Peer-to-peer and crowdfunding—the future of the Web is going to feed massively into this. The JOBS Act is going to help impact investing a ton once Congress finally gets its act together. Millennials are just totally all over it. This is the future."
Let's hope so.

Victor JVC has today unveiled a next-generation 32-inch LCD display [PDF] that is the company's thinnest (7mm) and the world's lightest (5kg). A first prototype will be showcased during the CES at the Victor / JVC booth this week.
The company claims it takes 50% less material resources and 10% fewer LCD module parts to manufacture the display. There is no information about features or the model name of the screen available at this point (other that it offers full HD resolution).
The display will go on sale in Japan (and possibly outside Nippon) within this year.

(visited by Jens Kube)
20-Mar-2004 -- On a very nice Saturday afternoon, I was setting out for a round-trip on the Kongsfjord. I did not specifically plan to go to the confluence, but I had it in the back of my mind. The problem would be to reach it, because normally it is a point on the water. This year, we have very good sea ice on the fjord, so, there was a chance to reach this point located on the "backside" of the Blomstrand island.
On my way, I first visited the edge of the Conwaybreen (the Conway Glacier), about 10 km away from the confluence. Here I first discovered fresh polar bear tracks. Maybe this is the point to give more general information about travelling on the sea ice in Svalbard:
For getting fast from one point to another on the ice, snowmobiles are a very versatile transport method. You can go as fast as 100 km/h and drive easily several dozens of kilometers. Speed is not only fun, it also is very important for your safety. On the day of my tour, the ice was not very hard on top. Instead, some water was between the rigid ice (about 50-60cm in thickness) and the freshly fallen snow cover. That means, that walking on the ice lead to sinking down to the ice layer - a bit difficult. If the snow cover is getting too thin, the scooter could also sink down to the ice layer, which nearly happened when I was leaving Conwaybreen. Fortunately I discovered this bad ice in good time, so I gave full throttle and just drove over it.
As additional means of safety, I took with me a rifle, a flare gun, a satellite phone and a VHF radio. Equipped with GPS, binoculars, and a camera I looked very expedition-like in my red scooter dress.
Back to the track: The polar bear track was ambiguous: I found two set of fresh tracks from the same bear, but heading in different directions. Which direction had the bear been going last?
Finally, I decided to head west towards the confluence. On my way, I saw the track several times more.
When I reached the point, I was a bit disappointed that I was not the first to be there on this day: A scooter track from another group was crossing my path at exactly the confluence point! And in checking the old tracks in my GPS, I found out that I had passed the point several times before, both by scooter and boat. After walking around a bit to get the proper GPS reading, I saw some people on their scooters some hundred meters away.
I was heading to them and asked if they saw the bear tracks. They did, and in fact, they also saw the bear! It was laying on the ice only about 500m away from the confluence. So I had to set out to get a photo from this magnificient animal - a great success.
So my first conscious confluence trip was very exciting: Beautiful glaciers with grey and blue ice and a polar bear - I guess not every confluence can offer all this!

(CNN) — The United States faced violent protests outside embassies in Egypt and Yemen on Thursday, even as it was deploying warships as part of the hunt for those behind the deadly attack against U.S. personnel in Libya.
In Cairo, on the third day of protests, demonstrators threw rocks and Molotov cocktails as police tried to disperse them by firing tear gas canisters.
View photos of the violent protests of the past two days.
At least 13 protesters and six police officers were injured, Egyptian government officials said.
In Sanaa, Yemen, demonstrators breached a security wall at the U.S. Embassy as several thousand people protested outside.
An anti-Islam film, apparently produced by an American, is blamed for much of the fury bubbling over at protests in these Islamic nations.
Numerous questions surround who made the film, which has a trailer on YouTube.
But sources tracking militant Islamist groups in eastern Libya say the deadly attack Tuesday night that killed four U.S. personnel, including Ambassador Chris Stevens, was most likely carried out by a pro-al Qaeda group. President Obama has vowed that "justice will be done" after the attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi.
Six things to know about attack that killed U.S. ambassador
Warships, carrying guided missiles, and unmanned drones are being sent to help search for the killers.
A group of Marines called a Fleet Antiterrorism Security Team was deployed to Libya to help secure U.S. facilities, two U.S. officials said. About 50 Marines were headed to Tripoli and could deploy elsewhere in Libya after their arrival, the officials said.
While Libya, Egypt and Yemen were of primary concern, there were protests at other U.S. embassies as well.
The United States called on U.S. citizens to stay away from the embassy in Khartoum, Sudan, on Wednesday, amid protests.
And photos showed protesters in front of U.S. embassies in Tunisia and Morocco. Palestinians demonstrated outside U.N. headquarters in Gaza, and Palestinian men burned a U.S. flag at a demonstration in Gaza City.
One photo from Cairo depicts a Jewish star with the words in Arabic, "Remember your black day 11 September."

|Permit of Admission of Destitute Child - Kate Nunn
I have been distracted from verifying sources (read: tedious) for the Hardenbook monograph I hope to finish soooon, to provide additional information I have on St. Joseph's Home in Peekskill, NY. So I am taking the opportunity to post the form I was sent by the Franciscan Sisters archivist on my grandfather's sister, Kate (or Katie) Nunn. This family continues to be very elusive. I put them aside with the hope that sometime in the future information will be forthcoming. I post this so that those who had relatives at St. Joseph's during this time can see what the form looked like.
Kate Nunn was born 21 December 1893, the sixth child of Joseph and Catherine (Kurtz) Nunn. The family lived at 2030 First Avenue in New York City. On 12 June 1900 the Department of Public Charities took Kate and her siblings from the parentless home and the children were sent to St. Joseph's Home in Peekskill, New York. The City of New York paid $2.00/week for her care.
On May 11, 1906, Sister Margaret of the Missionary Sisters Third Order of St. Francis received the following letter:
Dear Sister Margaret:
This will be handed to you by the sister of Katie Nunn, an inmate of your institution who has applied at this office for her discharge, and after a careful examination we find she is in a position to provide for her support at home, and is willing and anxious to do so.
I would therefore recommend that said child be discharged from your Institution to the custody of her sister, Mrs. Siebert and thereby relieve the City of her care and maintenance.
Frederick E. Bauer
Supt. Out-Door Poor
Enter Elizabeth "Lizzie" Nunn Siebert, Kate's older sister, who upon getting married and winning a law suit against her neighbor, then made application to retrieve her siblings from St. Joseph's Home. Kate was discharged into Elizabeth's care on 14 May 1906, and lived with her sister in the Bronx through 1920. It is after that when I lose Kate.

Recipe from Marion Gartman of Holyoke, Mass.
1 whole loin of pork
mulling spices (I used a packet of mulling spices that would serve 12 large glasses of cider or wine)
apple cider
baking spray
1. Cut whole roast into lengths that will fit into a roasting pan. Score the fat on the roasts.
2. Rub the mulling spices all over the top. Add two cups apple cider to the pan.
3. Place foil over the roasting pan and crimp tightly. Roast at 300 degrees for 2 hours.
4. Take the foil off the pan and increase the heat to 350 degrees.
5. Return the roast to the oven and baste with apple cider every 1/2 hour until the meat is well done. Check your cookbook for exact meat temperature.
6. Baste one last time with the cider and put the roasts on a platter. Let sit for 20 minutes before slicing.
Not only is this delicious, but the cooking aromas are mouth-watering!

My Thoughts:
When A Woman You Love Was Abused is written to direct husband's on how to deal with and help their wife triumph over sexual abuse. The book proved and supported the heartbreaking facts with statistics that were very eye-opening. "One in three girls have encountered sexual abuse. For boys, the statistics are vague. Some estimates reflect numbers as high as one in three boys to one in seven boys encountering sexual abuse or unwanted sexual contact. The generally accepted figure for boys is one in six" (Page 31). It made me realized that every single day, I am most likely passing by strangers who are carrying the heavy load of sexual abuse, and I could even be friends with someone that they were victim of sexual molestation, and I had no idea of the pain they are in.
The book is written by Dawn Scott Jones and she knows firsthand the affects of being abused. Her own father molested her and he said, "I want to teach you what to do that someday you'll be able to do this for your husband" (Page 22). She was also taught how to get a Kleenex and clean up. Reading her story was shocking, unbelievable, and I can't imagine how someone could do that to their own daughter.
I would recommend this book to anybody who was sexual abused. The book is geared more towards assisting the husband's to comprehend what their wife has experienced through sexual molestation. But husband and wife should undeniably work through this book together. This book has the impact of helping marriages to vastly improve and heal if these lessons are put into practices. I am currently only 22 years old, I'm not married, and I don't have any children. I choose to review this book for three reasons. One reason was to understand how to help marriages heal after sexual abuse and the second reason was to have guidance and understanding of the throbbing pain of their childhood molestation they were going through. I also read it just in case my wife was sexual abused by someone. I pray to God that hasn't happened to my future wife and I pray it doesn't happen to anyone else! But knowledge helps me to prepare for marriage and whatever she might have had to face in her life. So if you're like me and wanted to read this book to be prepared to help someone else then this book will benefit you too!
This book is an excellence resource for husband's to understand what their wife is going through and why she struggles with healing from the past haunting memories of her abuser. It's extremely imperative to listen to her and keep reminding her that what her abuser did to her wasn't her fault and she didn't deserve to be inappropriately touched sexual or raped. Remind her that you still love her, and you always will, and tell her that you will protect her, and you will be right there by her side. Also most victims of molestation suffer from loving their bodies because they feel betrayed and taken advantage of. Because let's face it they were treated unfairly and they didn't deserve it! It's vital for husband's to repeatedly tell their wife's that they are beautiful and you love her smile, eyes, and describe a character trait that you love that she possesses.
Another aspect that I thought was helpful was letting husband's know that it's difficult for her to enjoy sexual love making experiences in a marriage. It takes time of her to heal and a touch can easily bring back a painful flashback. It doesn't mean she hates you if she says not tonight or she withdraws from you when you touch her. Most of the time she's trying to protect herself from her abuser and the painful memories. Men, you may begin to take it as rejection when you're wife get depressed and hides from you and you will likely get mad at her abuser from destroying your wife's self-esteem. The book goes through what the woman you love is experiencing and it also addresses what men are feeling. Always remember you're not alone there's a lot of people that are going through sexual abuse aftermaths and they are survivors. If you need help or someone you know needs help with overcoming sexual abuse, I encourage you to read this book!
"I received this book for free from Litfuse Publicity Group/ Kregel Publications for this review".
About the Book:
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services reports that 80 percent of childhood abuse victims later suffer from at least one abuse-induced psychological disorder. It's proven that the effects of childhood abuse follow women into adulthood. Yet few men are prepared to deal with those effects, even when their own wife is the one who is suffering. And their wife's suffering becomes their own suffering as their needs aren't being met by a wife who is powerless to control her inner turmoil.
Author, pastor, and survivor Dawn Scott Jones candidly shares her own abuse experience to help husbands understand the varied emotions, fears, distorted thoughts, and triggers that hold their wives captive. In practical and accessible language, Jones explains the stages of the healing journey (processing denial, asking for help, grieving, expressing anger, learning to forgive, and finding resolution). Building on that knowledge, Jones then moves to an honest discussion of what husbands can do to help. Whether it's creating a healing environment, understanding the need for control, building trust, or even just praying for healing, a husband plays an active role in helping his wife survive and thrive despite her past abuse.
Offering hope for a healthy marriage relationship, When a Woman You Love Was Abused answers the questions men have and offers the advice they need to help their wives finally find peace.
