On immigration, hurry up and wait
The Senate finished its first week of debate Thursday on a massive immigration reform bill — with almost nothing to show for it.
Senators delivered hours of speeches and filed dozens of amendments. But they never figured out a way to begin casting votes on all of those proposed changes.
Story Continued Below
The most anticipated policy fight in years got off to a slow start because Democrats and Republicans deadlocked over process. The world's greatest deliberative body was forced to do just that — deliberate — while its leaders quarreled over how to perform its most basic function: vote.

The lack of any serious progress this week means that the Senate will need to make up for it over the next two weeks, raising the likelihood of weekend voting sessions and a late rush to finish the bill before the July 4 recess.
The risk of delay is that unless the voting starts soon, senators who have been waiting months to get a chance to shape the legislation can argue they've been cut out the process and potentially oppose the bill because they're not securing changes they need.
"I was hoping we would move faster because everybody agreed we should have votes; maybe it will pick up next week," said Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), a leader of the Gang of Eight. "One senator can block progress in the Senate — proven again."
( PHOTOS: At a glance: The Senate immigration deal)
The Senate is a body in which everything operates under the concept of unanimous consent — meaning any one senator can object and effectively bring the Senate to a halt if the lawmaker disagrees with something. That means scheduling votes on amendments requires the hyperpartisan body to agree.
Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) can get around those objections by filing for cloture, but it takes 60 votes and days of waiting to overcome each objection. He would rather work out a series of vote agreements with Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) to dispense with bundles of amendments at a time.
It's possible Reid can move to table — or kill — amendments as he did Thursday with a border security proposal sponsored by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa). But there's a peril to that: Proponents want to make modifications to appease concerns of fence-sitting senators not simply to keep the bill intact.
Reid hopes to get an agreement with McConnell for the first major series of votes by Monday and then repeat that process until senators don't have any more amendments to offer.
The dispute this week boiled down to the terms of passage.
Reid wanted the amendments to have to clear a 60-vote bar. Grassley argued that it should be a simple majority.
It was a political role reversal: Republicans, as the minority party, usually demand the higher threshold. But in this case, the lower bar could help them pass key changes to the bill.
"How many times have you heard the Republican leader say on the floor and publicly that the new reality in the United States Senate is 60?" Reid asked Wednesday from the Senate floor.

I just installed RedHat 6.2 with the KDE desktop on a 1995 Pentium 100
with a 14 inches monitor. It deteted the hardware all by itself, but
now when I try to open the most of the programs (GIMP, for example)
their windows go outside the desktop so that I actually can't use
them. I tried to find a place where I could change the resolution (I
think that it's a low-resolution problem), but almost any control
panel had the same problem and I could neither find nor use any panel
where I could eliminate my problem. Does anyone know how can I fix
this problem? Maybe with a consolle application.
Thanks in advance.

Kirksville Community Chorus Concert
One week from today, on Monday, Dec. 10th at 7:30, Kirksville Community Chorus will present their fall/Christmas concert at the First Christian Church at the corner of High and Harrison Streets. No admission is charged for this concert. This chorus of about 55 singers will present a concert of really beautiful choral music that is sure to inspire all who attend.
I am the director of this chorus, so it's near and dear to me. It represents most of what I do year round. The chorus has two concerts every year, usually the second Monday in December and the second Monday in May. For me, the end of one concert finds me already halfway into the next. I have to make sure that we have copies of all the music for our singers, which number between 50 and 60 singers. This is my ninth season as director of the chorus. The singers are people from the area who just like to sing. We gather every Monday night from September to December and then again from mid-January to mid-May. .
A sub-group of eleven women, called Grace Notes, will also perform at the concert. These ladies rehearse every Sunday afternoon in addition to the Monday evening rehearsals.
Our accompanist is the very classy and lovely Sara Beth Fouch. Sara lives in La Plata and is an amazing pianist and accompanist. It is here that I usually comment that not all piano players are capable accompanists. Sara Beth has so much talent, outdone only by her charm.
In addition, Dr. Jesse Krebs and his wife, Katherine will both be on hand to add magic to this concert. Jesse plays clarinet with a warm tone and flawless execution. He is also extremely gifted at improvisation. We don't often get to feature his improvisational skills, but at this concert, he will add his interpretation to an arrangement of "Just a Closer Walk with Thee." He will also accompany the moving advent tune "O Come, O Come Emmanuel" in a hauntingly lovely setting. Katherine Krebs will add her flautist talents to "I Wonder as I Wander," an Appalachian Carol and "Still, Still, Still." Two vocal soloists from the chorus will also enhance the performance.
On the classical side, the Chorus will sing Beethoven's "Hallelujah" from "Mount of Olives," "And the Glory of the Lord," from Handel's "Messiah," and "May God Smile On You" from Bach's "Wedding Cantata."
At the time that I write this, my octogenarian aunt will drive from Lebanon, MO, to grace us with a couple of solos. In her part of the state, she is well known. She has an amazing ability to reach an audience. Auntie "Vee" is my only remaining aunt, and her participation depends greatly on the weather and her health, but with only one week to go, it's looking pretty good that she will make it here.
Kirksville residents might be surprised at the number of people who come from considerable distance to hear these concerts, but we also have tremendous support from the community with a full house for nearly every concert.
The chorus and Grace Notes occasionally have additional performances. Grace Notes sang for a class reunion in September. The chorus and Grace Notes will sing at the Church of the Latter Day Saints at 2000 E Normal on Friday, Dec. 7th at 6:30 along with several other choirs and musical ensembles from the various church wards. That concert is organized by Thelma Zimmerman.
Obviously, I have not listed the entire repertoire for this concert, but there need to be some surprises, and isn't that a good enough reason to attend?

Rich Lowry: Alpha Girls and Child Men
Hymowitz, Lowry repeats, laments that today's Alpha female does not have a match for her high achievement. Well, duh. Women find status, power, social dominance, along with physicality, sexy and attractive in men. They are the necessary conditions for any sex, let alone romance, to happen between a man and a woman. The man MUST have higher amounts of status and social dominance than the woman. He must be more aggressive than the woman. He must be more attractive than the woman. This makes female selection very, very choosy. And women are at their most choosy when they are in their teens and twenties. Selecting only the man with the most margin of social status over themselves, the men with the most margin of social dominance over themselves, the men more attractive and aggressive than themselves.
Basically, Brad Pitt, or George Clooney, or NFL Quarterbacks Tom Brady and Mark Sanchez. These are the standards of most young, professional urban White women. Obviously they won't be dating these famous men, but generally compete for the few rock climbing, BASE-jumping, Venture Capitalist types so expertly parodied in "the Wedding Crashers."
Women fundamentally don't get it. Their high achievement is a turn-off to most men, who understand the basis of female selection well. Women find men their own status and social power, well either repulsive or sexually invisible. Women are not now nor have they ever been, interested in a marriage of equals. Or even a romance among equals. The man MUST bring something "more" to the table than the woman: looks, social status, dominance, aggressiveness, and so on.
The pool of such men is vanishingly small. Most men know that they will be going nowhere with their peers in their twenties. At best, a "mistake" soon regretted as the ladies discover the lack of more dominance, or social aggressiveness than themselves. The men who DO possess these qualities have their pick of the most beautiful women. All the credentials, income, and achievement mean nothing to these men, only sheer physical beauty.
By increasing their status to higher levels, all the women Hymowitz and Lowry commiserate with have done, is price themselves out of the market. Ordinary men won't approach them (a lament I've heard often among women I knew in the workplace) because they are essentially, their equal, and know from experience they have no real shot. Those that do approach, tend to be the "Jersey Shore" jerk, the guys who have figured out total obnoxious and total aggressiveness can carry the day, in compensation for being totally average and equal in status, earnings, and social status to their female peers.
In short, by making women equal or superior to most men, those men instantly became unsexy. About as desirable for women as a cold bowl of oatmeal. This is the problem.
The "schleps" that Hymowitz derides, played in movies by Adam Sandler or Seth Rogen (or Matthew McConaughey, "Failure to Launch") know very well that they will not be husbands and fathers. They're not the equivalent of Brad Pitt or George Clooney. Which is exactly what it takes to be a twenty something professional woman of average looks prospective husband/fiancee. So for all those men not devastatingly handsome and with chiseled physiques (against "average" female bodies by the way), or enormous amounts of charisma, or not trustafarians, or felons, or tattooed bicycle messengers, or hip-edgy guitarists in indie bands, or artistic hipster drug addicts (often also trustafarians), well there is no point in maturity.
The "best" that awaits is a sexless, loveless marriage to their age peers in the mid to late thirties, after a parade of said trustafarian hipster drug addicts, felons, hip-edgy guitarists, and so on. Who will always be first and foremost in the hearts and minds of their very "settling" wives. Followed no doubt by a quickie divorce when the revulsion of their wives against their beta male selves becomes too much.
The feminists were in fact correct. Much of Western society DOES rest on controlling, limiting, and coercing the free expression of female sexuality. Limiting it in fairly significant ways. Of course, the few Alpha men (those deemed sexy and desired by nearly every woman) are also limited in significant, though lesser way, in the free expression of their sexuality. Women in the West were forced to marry, and marry relatively early (compared to today), in their early to mid twenties, in order to have children. Though women often worked outside the home, and often side by side with men on farms, cottages, villages, and cities, their status though BETTER than that of contemporary women in other societies, was lesser than their male peers. This had the social function of making their male peers at least minimally sexy.
Lesson: women find loathsome and unsexy men who are their equal. They want men who are superior to them in some way.
Therefore, the rise of the "Child-Man." Why bother with responsibility when all that is available is a shadow of the family life that their grandfathers mostly had and their fathers partially had? What is really all that attractive about a mutually loveless desperation marriage at age 36 between an aging, used up cougar and a Beta Male?
Lowry agrees with Hymowitz that men (basically White men) are not that important. That a family is a single mom and the kids by various bad boys, or "hot" sperm donors. That's a pretty heavy bet. I don't see women being capable of defending the nation, or securing vital resources (like oil, for starters). Much less working drilling rigs, or power lines, or construction projects. Much of the idiocy of so-called conservatives like Lowry and Hymowitz is "magical thinking" -- the infrastructure of the modern world "just happens" and "dirty things" like oil production and refining and transportation, power generation, sewers, just magically happens. With "hopefully" a compliant, serf-class group of non-Whites. If not the "Aunt Jemima" and "Uncle Ben" image of smiling and subservient Black cooks, then perhaps one equally subservient group of Mexican laborers. [This process is inevitable once writers/thinkers cease having had to work for a living, and become bloodless and removed semi-aristocrats, without the hunting and military experience to bring to mind the bloodiness of life and death.]
Alpha women made their own bed. They like all women, disdain men their equals. And they advanced so that nearly all men are very distinctly, either their equals or worse, gasp their inferiors. In status if nothing else.
There is a solution, but one that deserves another post.

I don't think this is a new phenomenon, spinsters have been around forever. Its simply a case of picky women waiting too long which stuffs up the sex ratio.
Considering that most women are married by 35 it is little wonder these women are left with the dregs as by then most guys are also married off.

Lowrey's comments explain why I'm not a "National Review" subscriber any more. I have yet to see that the crop of juveniles that Buckley brought in in the mid-1990's knows anything about anything. Derbyshire and Andy McCarthy are the only guys there who ever has anything useful to say, and they alone are not worth the price. NR in it's current incarnation is a second rate circus, and Lowrey the head clown.

I don't know, I haven't had much trouble finding a woman to marry in the US. I think I lucked out, though and I'm also not entirely white (my fiancee is white though).
I got into a good engineering school and got a full ride through a merit scholarship and now work at one of the world's largest software engineering firms. I'm also in grad school and serving on a non-profit board, while planning a wedding and 1 lb from setting the state power lifting record in squat.
Whenever, I hear this oh poor betas whitey is getting pushed out by the unclean hordes BS, I just shake my head. America has hated "intellectuality" since I was a kid. I remember white guys bragging about how they didn't read. I remember white guys saying why would you ever take calculus you'll never use it and it won't make you rich. I remember white guys focused on being cool and getting drunk. I remember the white guy from my high school who got drunk and high and decided to go shooting people from his dorm room (http://dailyitem.com/0100_news/x691265784/Ex-Bucknell-student-charged-in-slaying). Yeah, I know the article is about a black guy committee a crime, but Joshua Carr was a white guy whose rich dad bailed him out after he thought it was a good idea to shoot people with pellet guns.
Even in college it was always the white guys that were biggest d-bags and a-holes. There's only room for so many of those at the top. In fact, the most disagreeable people on campus were Pi Kappa Alpha frat jerks. The only exceptional white guy I met was the track team captain who is currently dating *gasp* a black woman. Of course, he was an idiot and would try to woo women by baking them cookies, but that's beside the point.
Making lumberjacks sexy again will not change America's competitiveness and allow us to retain or quality of life compared to the rest of the world. We need to invest in technologies that will shift everyone's standard of living up. No, I'm not talking about "green" tech non-sense. I'm talking about practical technologies like nuclear recycling, nuclear powerplants, high speed rail, public transportation, etc. We need to stop wasting money on electric cars that depend heavily on rare earth metals and lithium batteries from Japan, which eventually need replacing and solar power / wind power that will never scale. We'll have to use the petrol we have left over to maintain our farm output as we switch over to more sustainable farming practices.
Either we find a way to progress forward together or the dystopian future of whitey fighting a war with the multi-cultural hordes will coming to pass.

There isn't really a way forward together -- we're too divided at this point. It will be interesting to see how this plays itself out, though -- and perhaps even entertaining, from a macabre point of view.
Nuclear power plants won't happen en masse due to the environmental lobby which is powerful and dead-set against them. High Speed Rail is a boondoggle that will never be cost-effective in a country laid out like the United States -- we're not Japan and we're not the size of a European country. Public transportation? It's not how we live. We can try to force everyone into urban arcologies so that they can all use public transportation, but good luck with that -- most people still prefer suburban living in houses with backyards -- a lifestyle that can't really be well served by public transportation, but which is nevertheless the lifestyle most people want to live when they are raising families.
None of this progressive pap is going to happen, really. Decline is going to happen, almost inevitably. Fine with me, really -- I am not heavily invested in this culture at the moment.

"akin to the Catholic Church's belief in a Geocentric universe."
Catholic Church and Galileo disputed 3 things:
sea flows as caused by Moon (CC) or by movement of Earth (Gali)
a geocentric universe (CC) or sun-centric universe (Gali)
and comets and stars as physical objects (CC) or optical phantoms (Gali).
Modern science proved that Catholic Church was right twice.
And the 3rd was a tie. The movement is relative so we are at the same time sun- as geo-centric or neither. It depenends on reference point.
Anyway Catholic Church wins over Gali by 3 to 1.
"Ask Galileo how that went."
How it went for Galileo?
He was buried in Basilica di Santa Croce church. Quite big honeur for him from Catholic Church.

I've grown tired of these gender stereotypes and hurtful generalizations.
It seems as though Hymowitz et al paint all unmarried males with a broad brush, as if to suggest that any man/guy/male (choose your term) older than 30 who is still unmarried simply MUST be out "playing the field" or "sowing his oats" or whatever other sickening phrase is used. She seems to think we're all like the character portrayed on television by [sigh] Charlie Sheen, moving from one "hot babe" to another, free of commitment or marriage and family aspirations. It does not seem to occur to any of you that some of us have just been alone (romance-wise) throughout our lives.
Many of us have never found a romantic partner, let alone a spouse. I myself have always wanted a very G-rated, non-sexual romantic relationship with someone, but it just hasn't happened, though I'm now well into my 30s. (I'm not looking for sex of any kind.)
I hate my birthday and cannot watch films or plays with romantic themes without feeling miserable. I have difficulty sleeping at night. And now, on top of the loneliness and despair, I have people like Hymowitz suggesting, without ever having met me, that I must be some frat-boy lothario or Good-Time Charlie. Such words are hurtful — insult upon injury.

Note: There was/is no such thing as "the Catholic Church's belief in a Geocentric universe." The Church is a corporate body; it does not hold beliefs as individuals do. It was established solely to pass on what Jesus Christ and His apostles taught. Since our Lord did not express or imply an opinion regarding the geocentric model of the universe, the Church teaches nothing definitive on that topic.
While it is true that some members of the Church -- including popes and bishops -- have expressed their opinions on geocentricity or other scientific topics from time to time over the past two millennia, it must be noted that these were each and severally the private theological opinions of the men expressing them, not dogmatic teachings of the Church.
It is an error of category to assign to the Church "opinions" on scientific topics. The Church is a spiritual and theological organization, infallible in the areas of faith and morals. It is not a scientific research body. Its purpose is to explain the "why" of the universe, and of man's place in it. The Church wisely leaves the details of how the universe works to those who labor in the field of natural science.

That's because you're not on the radar screen for women.
When women complain about there not being enough good men, what they are really saying is that "there are not enough good men that we are attracted to". If you're not in the "attracted to" category, they're not talking about you, and they don't care if you're good or bad, because you're just a blank screen to them.
Women experience attraction very differently to how men do -- we're attracted to many more women than women are to men. Women are just not attracted in a relationship/romantic/sexual way to the vast, vast majority of men they meet. So when they're complaining about a lack of good men, they're not talking about the vast numbers of men they find unattractive (so it doesn't matter if they are "good" or not), but rather the experience they are having that the men to whom they *are* attracted are not behaving the way they want. In other words: they're not talking about you, because you're not on the romantic radar screen, like most men.
It's becoming fashionable on the internet to bash men like you for failing to be the kind of man who is on the radar screen. The theory seems to be that you are not "manned up" or "alpha'd up" enough to attract women, period, which is bad for you and for them. I am skeptical of these theories, however, because the basis of hypergamy is that women will find a way to distinguish among men regardless of whether they are all manned up or not -- it would just mean that another criterion would be used to separate the "better" men from the rest, even if all men were "alpha'd up". Nevertheless, a season is underway in which men who are not "alpha'd up" are to be bashed left and right by men and women alike.
- March 9, 2011 at 11:12 AM
The vast majority of men by any definition aren't "alpha'd up".
I predict a huge backlash if that happens.
No, I predict society will do what its already doing or what feminism does: pretend the average man is "alpha", or ignore the average man altogether. They might even drop the "stupid male" commercials because they are starting to get backlash about that in large numbers.
Don't get me wrong: in a way I HOPE you are right. If this happens it will bring things out in the open in a major way and help hasten the collapse of this rotten society.
P.S. I'm interested in Whiskey's solution, though I've always thought he makes TOO MUCH of women's hypergamous impulses.

I have for many years wondered as you state "most conservatives don't have a clue about what is reshaping our society"
Particularly disturbing for me is the constant admiration for Ronald Regan. Yet it seems that many very destructive trends that have effected our culture came from legislation passed by Ronald Regan as the Governor of California.
I find that no fault divorce has had a profound and negative effect upon our culture. I'm sure we have all witnessed great harm done to innocent spouses and children by marital betrayal; with the betraying partner being rewarded. The effect of no fault divorce has been destructive nationally as well.
Likewise how could Ronald Regan write a book such as the "Conscious of a Nation" after passing legislation as a governor that became the model for Roe vs Wade. Then after writing this book nominate a supreme court justice (Sandra Day-O'Connor) who was an abortion advocate. I am also amazed by the number of very liberal Supreme court justices who were nominated by conservative presidents and later pursued liberal causes.

From Lowry's article:
"But is it good for him, or for us? If nothing else, the alpha girl has to date the child-man, and should she still aspire to become a mother in a nuclear family, marry him."
Such rational slackerhood is good for him, at least in the short term, so why wouldn't he do it? Society has yet to incentivize him acting any differently; indeed, it punishes him acting in the very way Hymowtiz suggests.
Second, Lowry "doesn't get it" because he suffers from far too litttle imagination. Or isn't sufficiently read. Take your pick.
The alpha girl doesn't have to date the child man. She won't date the child man. The child man isn't even on her radar. She'll chase the man who is more than she is.
And as for being a mother in a nuclear family, how many alpha girls honestly aspire to be June Cleaver? Choice mommy, sure. But a marriage to a man less than her is very likely to fail.
It's not her fault, really. She hasn't been trained any differently and, like Lowry, lacks imagination too.

Precisely correct. That Ronnie Ray-Gun is the idol of the conservative movement these days tells me all I need to know about said movement.
The libtards are correct about one thing: a conservative is someone who was a flaming liberal 30 years ago. That is why conservatives are so feckless--they are defensive-minded, standing athwart history yelling "stop!". They need to be offensive and take the cultural initiative, for once.
Instead we get Reagan worship.

Reagan passed the IRCA bill, which basically gave Amnesty and opened the floodgates to illegal aliens from Mexico. Though he talked tough he failed to punish Iran or Hezbollah.
He was better than Carter. But that's a low hurdle.
Bush did the absolute minimum against AQ and did nothing to secure the border, instead pushing his own Amnesty. He was minimally better than Al Gore would have been, but that's also a low barrier.
Both Reagan and Bush were nice men, who could not fathom that the US does not have unlimited margins or unlimited social, political, and cultural capital.

Decline is happening RIGHT NOW.
However like with most things in life it's not evenly distributed. Some people are getting hit harder than others and there's even some people not decling at all but instead moving up!
Not to sound like a jerk but, It's my job to make sure I'm moving up even though society in general is going down. Remaining single is a very important part of my financial stratgey.

Most 'conservatives' these days are either libertarians, capitalists, neoconservatives or right-liberals. Enough said.

"how most conservatives don't have a clue about what is reshaping our society: the female preference for sexy over reliable men. It really is that simple. But would require Lowry to believe the evidence, instead of his deep-set social conditioning akin to the Catholic Church's belief in a Geocentric universe. Ask Galileo how that went."
Whiskey not only do you give a liberal interpretation of liberalism's perceived scientific credentials but you also stupidly believe that conservatives don't know what is shaping society. They DO know. They are just I don't know STARTING on the PLAN on how to TURN THINGS AROUND and STOP this.
You can't really expect for traditional conservatives and reactionaries to have a magic wand and stop things? Especially when they have liberals infiltrating or having infiltrated conservatism? What about fighting their own right-liberal infection huh?

Public transportation? It's not how we live. We can try to force everyone into urban arcologies so that they can all use public transportation, but good luck with that -- most people still prefer suburban living in houses with backyards -- a lifestyle that can't really be well served by public transportation, but which is nevertheless the lifestyle most people want to live when they are raising families.
You are missing the point here. Lawns and picket fences have very little (if anything) to do with it. The lifestyle people want to live when they are raising families is around people like themselves, read: few to no NAMs.
(Toxic, somewhat evil) SWPL culture has infected mainstram culture to the point where most people could be relatively easily persuaded to live in much denser communities as long as they could be assured of good schools and very low crime.

Well, Novaseeker, once at HUS I argued that there will always be a "cap" on the % of men that women find attractive even if men start to learn Game en masse. You disagreed, but now you're saying the same thing.

It is cold here right now. Temps for the last few days have been in the high 50's, low 60's. The squirrels, though, have apparently been busy. Two of my most accomplished squirrelologists were out with the telemetry gear and took a lunch break. During their break they saw squirrels quickly copulating on concrete steps only to get interrupted by another squirrel. An extra-pair copulation perhaps? Excitement in the squirrel world indeed!

The queries section of OGSPI includes Name Game entries and responses from the Ontario Genealogy Society publication Families.
OGSPI is organized by family SURNAME as 26 clickable Initial Menus like you see at the top of this screen. M is subdivided into M and Mc. X entries are included with W. Choose Mc if your family surname starts MAC.. or Mac..
Those of us who use public libraries expect signs at the end of each aisle or row to indicate the call number range. OGSPI Initial Menus work like these familiar signs to choose a row of library shelves. Links within a Initial Menu are like scanning the shelves by title or call number to pick a book. OGSPI Local Folder links work similar to choosing another book or volume within an encyclopoedia set.
Most people expect an index to be organized by SURNAME and Given Name like a data base or telephone book. This works for individuals but not for families so OGSPI takes a different approach. It takes some getting used to.
Genealogy research normally follows the pattern: self, 2 parents, 4 grand parents, 8 great grand parents, 16 great great grandparents, 32 great great great grandparents, etc. This doubling pattern applied to Ontario history means that most research action is in the 1850-1900 time period. It was a time when life was primarily rural and most people ( and documents ) refered to their location by county or by township. Please also realize that much of the information was spoken by one person and written by another. Names and places were written down phonetically - according to the ear of the listener. OGSPI uses a semi-soundex grouping to allow for this so JONSON=JOHNSON=JOHNSTON=JOHNSTONE and FILION=PHILLION.
The Ontario Genealogical Society is organized as 30 Branches with Branch territories corresponding approximately to the Counties of Ontario. OGSPI is deliberately organized to give you these county and Branch links for most families in the index.
Data in OGSPI is arranged as simple text paragraphs with blank lines between. There isn't a rigid records and fields structure and we don't try to squeeeze names and places into rows and columns. SURNAMES are always CAPITALIZED so the computer can pick them out as it scans each line to set up the links and cross references.
Strays in a census family, witnesses at a wedding, bride, mother of groom, mother of bride, godparents at a baptism, etc are all handled by cloning the data paragraph for each SURNAME that the computer finds.
We use the SURNAME and the location and the year to build an indexing header line at the start of each paragraph. All paragraphs within the file are sequenced according to the header line. Locations are alphageographic as @ca.on.northumberland.hamilton, @ca.on.wentworth.hamilton, @us.mi.wayne.detroit so you always know the county. Census families have a multi line header with the first line deliberately coded so families with the same SURNAME appear on your screen ( or printer ) in the same sequence as the original microfilm for easier research. The OGSPI program logic uses @ca.on.county addresses to link each data paragraph to an OGS Branch you can contact for further information.
A left to right sequence like: f 1891-7 - dtr Ont Que Ire RC in the 1891 census means female, age 7 in 1891, single, daughter, child born in Ontario, her father born Quebec, her mother born Ireland, religion Roman Catholic.
The general policy of OGSPI is to reduce confusion by minimizing use of
local abbreviations. Provinces and States are abreviated but never
Counties. Less popular religions like BibleChristian are spelled
out in full. You will find, for example, in the World War 2 group that
DFC and RCNVR do not index as SURNAMES but auto-expand to
Distinguished Flying Cross and Royal Canadian Navy Volunteer Reserve.

A cult. You go to the dorm expecting to jam out on guitar, and all of a sudden, you're swallowed in by much mischief that at first seems fun...but you know what they say about first impressions. The members are called Shangonauts. General admission requires some sort of 'initiation' hidden under the guise of 'operations'. They follow their ten commandments, and dis frats, cults, and hipsters, but love communism and anarchy. They're quite contradictory. You will become one with Shango. Be careful. You'll miss the weed once you leave, but nothing else.
As for their motto? Fuck it, it's college.

Woollen wonders: how shearling jackets are making a comeback
As the weather gets cooler and the need to rug up becomes more important, we look to an incredibly warming, rugged and masculine jacket option for winter – the shearling jacket. Shearling is often negatively associated with not-so-stylish ugg boots or generally dressing for functionality over fashion. However, when shearling is when styled well, it can help to marry fashion and function when it comes to dressing for winter. Here, we break down three key looks featuring shearling jackets so you can stay stylish and snug in the cooler months.

The macho man
This look, designed for the more masculine of men, combines a few staple items in any man's wardrobe and demonstrates how you can style them effortlessly for this daytime look. Something that appears quite basic can be easily styled up with some hair products and a uber-cool pair of vintage sunglasses.
Pictured, clockwise from left: R.M. Williams jacket, Ray Ban sunglasses from Sunglass Hut, Cotton On beanie, Uniqlo shirt, Timberland boots from Myer, Nudie jeans, Country Road bag.
The metro man
The classic look is pulled into the trendy category with the introduction of a seasonal shearling bomber. Ideal for the more metro streamlined gentleman, slim trousers are dressed down with a pair for casual white sneakers, a grey tee and a great smile.
Pictured, clockwise from left: Zara jacket, SABA pants, Clinique For Men Tinted Moisturizer from Sephora, Tag Heuer watch, Tom Ford cologne from Sephora, Reiss t-shirt, Lacoste sneakers from Myer, Oscar Wylee sunglasses.
The muted man
This look, perfect for the low-key gent, demonstrates how you can stay incognito and fashionable at the same time. Layer on layer of black is made slightly more playful by introducing a subtlly printed button-down to the mix.
Pictured, clockwise from left: Saint Laurent jacket, The Horse watch from Universal Store, Oroton wallet, Country Road jeans, Nike sneakers, Connor shirt, Persol sunglasses from Sunglass Hut, fallenBROKENstreet hat from General Pants.

How about writers to Steve Kelley and KJR: chill!
Seems the biggest hype for the arena is coming directly from local sports radio and local sportswriters. Have you listened to KJR lately? They can't go five minutes without mentioning the arena or having an NBA team here. Heck, 710ESPN even went so far as to create a mock news update for an NHL and NBA franchise in Seattle.
It is very obvious that the local sports media are combining forces to bring an arena and NBA/NHL to Seattle.
It's almost like they have a major interest in more sports coming to the area. How deep does this go?
This was the most even-keeled practical discussion about a new Seattle arena among local sports media people I've seen/heard since Chris Hansen's name first came up. I was expecting the usual "break out the pom-poms" rhetoric you hear from the hacks at KJR (until I saw Art on the screen at least), but these three guys seem to understand the big picture. A special congrats to Jerry Brewer for returning to Realityville after spending time on the bandwagon.
Someone in the NHL or NBA will want to move (or sell) their team to Seattle someday, but just not right now.

To the Editor:
An immediate and major issue in our country is the unemployment rate among our veterans.
There currently are more than 900,000 unemployed former members of our Armed Forces who have served during the past several years in various areas of the world. The unemployment rate far exceeds the national unemployment rate.
Under the Vow To Hire Heroes Act of 2011, provisions were established to help give the men and women employment upon honorable discharge from the armed forces. This Act also gives our veterans extensions up to one year on their military benefits pending employment in high demand sectors.
Businesses are allowed tax credits up to $5,600 for hiring veterans based on their months/years unemployed after returning from the service. This is a major incentive that needs to be publicized across the country.
Additionally, disabled veterans receive Veterans Administration Rehabilitation and Employment Benefits. At the same time, employers who hire "Wounded Warriors" that are unemployed for six months or more receive a tax credit up to $9,600.
The Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment Vet Success Program assists veterans who have service-connected disabilities to prepare for, find and keep suitable jobs. The program provides vocational counseling and rehabilitation services.
In March of 2011, the United States Chamber of Commerce National Foundation launched a non-profit program entitled "Hiring our Heroes." The Chamber of Commerce has hosted more than 230 hiring fairs in 48 states and more are being planned. They offer traditional hiring fairs as well as virtual hiring fairs for "in person" and computerized applications and information. To be eligible for participation in the Hiring our Heroes Program, veterans must have been honorably discharged.
What everyone must remember is that these men and women returning from active duty have endured hardships in the field that are difficult for civilians to imagine. They have lived a military lifestyle away from loved ones for prolonged periods of time. Many of them entered the Armed Services directly from high school and have had no education in resume preparation or interviewing skills. They need counseling in the possible areas where their service-acquired skills would be valuable to employers. Most of them are well prepared to work under stressful situations and to multitask – two important skills most employers are currently looking for in those they consider for employment.
With the above resources and with constant dissemination in the national press, television and computer information sites concerning the resources and job fairs that are available, let us look forward to more aggressive hiring of the defenders of the United States.

Four mosquitoes trapped in Bridgewater have tested positive for Eastern equine encephalitis, a rare but potentially deadly illness spread by infected mosquitoes, Bridgewater Board of Health Agent Eric Badger said Friday.
The Bridgewater mosquitoes, which were collected on July 15, are the first of the season statewide to test positive for EEE, according to the Massachusetts Department of Public Health.
"It used to be something that would occur every few years, but it seems like it's something we can expect to see every summer now," Badger said.
Mosquitoes with the West Nile virus were found in Canton on July 8.
The four Bridgewater mosquitoes that tested positive were all mammal biters — as opposed to the less worrisome bird biters — and were all collected from the same pool near the West Bridgewater line, Badger said.
Badger said the DPH's EEE alert level for Bridgewater was raised from "low" to "moderate" for the time being — but could be raised to "high" if more mosquitoes test positive.
The adjacent towns of West Bridgewater, Easton, Raynham and Middleboro were already on moderate alert based on last year's EEE activity.
As a result of the "moderate" rating, Bridgewater has not imposed an early closing time on public parks and recreation areas, he said.
But Badger strongly urges residents to consider rescheduling outdoor evening activities and to "take extra precautions" — including using bug spray and wearing long sleeves, long pants and socks — if they must be outside at dusk.
Badger said the DPH will be conducting additional testing over the weekend in the vicinity of the pool where the EEE-positive mosquitoes were collected.
"They will be checking more in the same area to see if it's an anomaly or more widespread," Badger said.
The DPH has not yet announced when those results will be available, Badger said.
And Plymouth County Mosquito Control will begin ground spraying in Bridgewater on Monday, particularly in areas around ponds, lakes and other wetlands, Badger said.
The spraying will begin near the West Bridgewater line where the infected mosquitoes were trapped, he said.
"They will do some adulticiding to get the ones in flight and follow it up with larviciding," Badger said.
There are currently no plans for aerial spraying, Badger said.
Badger said in the past couple of years, infected mosquitoes were found in late June or early July.
"This is actually fairly late compared to prior years," he said.
DPH State Public Health Veterinarian Catherine Brown said in a statement released Friday, "EEE is an annual occurrence in Massachusetts."
"These were mammal-biting mosquitoes and the findings should remind residents of the area to cover up and apply insect repellent when outdoors," Brown said.
