main index
Inara: Mal, you don't have to die alone.Being alone is bad. But dying alone is horrible. It may factor in on the scale of the Heroic Sacrifice, that you must die alone. Sending someone away, so that you die alone, is often a generous gesture, and those who leave may be deeply criticized. When What You Are in the Dark faces you, the villain may taunt you with not only dying, but dying alone. Lonely at the Top almost always carries the threat that the character will die alone. It is frequently suggested to the single and childless that this may result from their actions. Dying emotionally alone with other people physically present, as in the opposite of You Are Not Alone, is just as bad. The one exception when a character is performing a Heroic Sacrifice, particularly after More Hero Than Thou dispute: then, dying alone carries the consolation that the other characters have escaped with their lives. Conversely, characters may go to great efforts to ensure that a dying character is not alone to defy this trope, which is often explicitly invoked as the reason for staying. Particularly True Companions — a You Are Not Alone moment of particular poignancy — but The Rival, the Worthy Opponent, the Friendly Enemy may all be willing to stay with the dying Hero, and he would do the same for them. Indifferent people don't count, but even a stranger willing to respond to Please Don't Leave Me can help. They may do this even if the dying person is apparently unaware of them. Similarly, the closest friend in a group of people may insist on being the one to deliver a Mercy Kill. If death takes a long time, Unbroken Vigil may result. Falling asleep by a deathbed is not always considered failure. Dying characters may try to force the issue if the other character is clearly on the verge of collapse. When a character is Dying as Yourself, it may allow the others to prevent this. When a character dies alone, Meaningful Funeral, To Absent Friends, and Famed in Story may ensue, to ironically point out that the character actually had friends, or underscore the value of his Heroic Sacrifice. On the other hand, a funeral with no mourners reinforces the loneliness. Note that this trope is not only limited to heroic characters. If used on a villain, particularly the Big Bad, it will serve to show us just what a miserable and horrible human being they really were, to the point where even their own supposedly loyal servants won't be bothered to accompany them as they die. See also A Friend in Need, and Secretly Dying, which can lead to this. Distracted from Death (where a person may not necessarily die alone but they do die unnoticed by others around them) can be a variant.
Mal: Everybody dies alone.

November 28, 2014
Posted Wednesday March 6, 2013 --- 5:20 p.m.
Last winter was very mild and the City of Madison ended up saving almost $1 million on snow and ice removal. This year is totally different story. Right now they're about $750,000 over budget.
" I think that the total bill for this snow storm will be a little less than had it come in December because we've got a lot of warm weather on the horizon. That's going to do some melting for us and will minimize some of the cleanup work we have to do. "
According to George Dreckmann with the Streets Division our latest storm will end up costing the city about $400,000. Each year the city plans for six general snow plow events. This year we've had five and the city is about $800,000 over budget.
" If we're not able to reallocate a lot with in our current budget then we'll keep our fingers crossed," says Dreckman. " If we face additional events then we'll have to go back to the council and get some additional money."
This year the city has used about 10,000 tons of salt, 10,000 tons of sand and 150,000 gallons of salt brine. They say in a pinch they can get more but they're hoping that won't be not necessary.
The city only has enough money for one more major plow event in 2013 and they're hoping that doesn't come until December.

Persecution of Christians in Iraq
Many thanks to Ambassador Nat Howell for the information he shared with us about the persecution of Christians in Iraq.
The video of his presentation shown below.
The Baptist World Alliance has issued a call for Baptists and other Christians to provide funds to help Iraqi Christians displaced by war. The funds are earmarked for food and other urgently needed relief supplies for Christian families who recently fled Mosul and Karakosh and are now in Irbil, a city in Kurdistan.
ISIS fighters have terrorized towns in northern Iraq, amassing power and laying down harsh Sharia law. Christians were given the option of paying exorbitant taxes, converting to Islam, or fleeing. Many families fled their homes without their possessions, including clothing. Money, jewelry and other valuables were stolen or confiscated.
On August 29, the Associated Baptist Press published the article BWA allocates funds for persecuted Iraqi Christians.
Donations for this relief effort may also be made to "University Baptist Church" and earmarked for "Iraqi Christians."
You can write a check to "UBC, 1223 W. Main St., Charlottesville, VA, 22903″ or you can donate online.
All of the money we collect will be sent to the Baptist World Alliance fund for Iraqi Christians.

Weekend is here ANY PLANS?
Tonight we are meeting some old work friends and co workers, a couple are here from the states for the October Fest. The rest of the weekend will be rainy so not sure what we'll be doing. ( Donna: I'll probably be cleaning as the cleaning lady comes on Monday for the first time and I wouldn't want her to see a messy home now would I ? Heaven forbid she actually has something to clean when she gets here LOL )
Have a great weekend everyone....

The wickedly cold pow days shouldn't keep you inside, because you can slip on the SmartWool NTS Midweight Crew and make waist-deep turns in warm, dry comfort. As a baselayer, this merino wool crew keeps your inner climate just right while the worst winter storm of the year hammers your mountain.
- Midweight, next-to-skin merino wool fabric breathes when you're working hard on a mogul run, holds in heat when you're sitting on the lift, and resists the build-up of odors so you don't have to worry about stink
- Shoulder panels eliminate the need for top seams and rubbing
- Form fit brings the fabric close to your skin for better performance
- Hip length and drop-tail hem boost coverage
- Flatlock interior seams, set-in sleeves, and a crew neck prevent rubbing and chafing if you're wearinging a pack and moving fast for hours
- Contoured cuffs match your hands-forward position while you ski or skin
Share your thoughts
What do you think of the
SmartWool NTS Midweight Crew - Men's
? Share a...
absolutely sexy sheep shirt
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
I typically wear a large in shirts: I'm 6' tall, 160 lbs, 41" chest, but a medium fits me perfectly: the arms are long enough and the torso fits fairly tight. If you are bigger than a 41" chest, you will want a large as I'm right on the edge of needing a bigger size. I wash these on gentle or permanent press and then hang over a closet door to dry. When I wear this shirt, the ladies cannot keep their hands off of me :)
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
I bought this as a base layer specifically for a cold weekend in Targhee when I would not be able to warm up for extended periods of time. It exceeded my expectations and I've used it on every cold day since. I have big shoulders, 210lb 6'0. I got the L and it fits snugly but allows for as much movement as you need. Muy bueno 5 stars.
SmartWool wins!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
SmartWool wins again. This top keeps me warm, dry, and stink-free. I have owned one of these for a few years now, and it still takes a beating without fail. The fit is nice and close to the skin, without making you look like a muscle dummy. Merino wool is so nice to wear and beats my poly-pro stuff, hands down.
To increase this top's life, wash and dry gently...otherwise you will get some holes in your shirt.
That noise you make when something rules
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
I wore these all season and they lasted and felt amazing! Plus they are sexy to walk around in! Soft, like having a shirt made of kittens! They kept me warm and dry! Don't hold odor! The smartness of this product allows it to contour your body like it knows you wish you could grow a pelt. I use to swear buy all that technical base layer stuff. But these have changed my mind. Well worth the money! When you wear this you're like a Viking getting ready to conquer your mountain!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
Great base layer, and when worn under a Smartwool mid-layer and a softshell wind breaker, it will take the bite out of 0 degree temps.
Andrew Wong
Claimed weight of 9 oz. = 255g. Is that...
Claimed weight of 9 oz. = 255g. Is that the same as 255g/m^2? I'm trying to compare how warm it will keep me compared to my Icebreaker 200 (200g/m^2).
Arthur Debowski
It is a 250g/m^2 fabric so it will be a bit thicker than the Icebreaker you already have.
Vince R.
Absolutely amazing
Got to give it to mother nature on this one. Best base layer I have ever used. Super comfortable, super breathable. Unfortunately the price is a little but nauseating but they aren't to hard to find on sale.
Ryan Driver
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This is the only base layer I use when I ski.I sweat a lot and it is the only thing I have found that keeps me dry which is critical in the cold.
Albert Greiner
Warm and comfy. Good quality.
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Warm and comfy. Good quality.
Good but...
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
after two washings it gets kind of ratty. incredble function and great fit but breaks down fairly quickly. i wore it under my Norrona Jacket and was warm the whole day...also used it as a sweater at night because it looks so good...just need it to hold up a little longer
Just don't throw it in the dryer. I hang them to dry and they look great for years.
Good for Working hard in the cold
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Very nice fit and feels nice. When you sweat the thing dries you off and it goes away. No more wet cold shirt after a hard work out. 30 min later you are dry again. I love it. I wear it to work every day on the construction site at Jay Peak Ski Resort.
Tony Hawks
I agree 100%. This was my 1st experience with Merino wool...I'll never use anything else.
A little larger then previous years?
Great base layer! Use it to go cycling in the winter months. Does a great job wicking away sweat, and keeps me warm even when wet. Open the jacket and it dries fairly quickly, too. Awesome stuff.
I also have an older version of this shirt, recently purchased from BC (i.e., it's not old and shrunken). It seems like this new one is slightly larger so is not as skin tight as the previous version, which I like. But the new one does feel a little heavier and warmer. Either way, it's another great article from Smartwool!
John Barden
Warm and comfortable
- Familiarity: I gave it as a gift
I bought this for my brother and he loves it. He wore it hunting multiple times in the cold and wind and stayed warm throughout the day.

OCZ Intrepid 3600 SSD Review
The OCZ Intrepid 3600 is an enterprise-class SSD designed specifically for workloads like transaction processing, VM infrastructure, and email servers, while featuring advanced enterprise-grade functionality with a focus on performance, endurance, and reliability. The Intrepid 3000 Series also supports the industry standard 2.5-inch form factor and consists of two configurations: the Intrepid 3600 line, which takes advantage of reliable and cost-effective MLC NAND media, and the Intrepid 3800 line which features high endurance eMLC NAND media. OCZ has also put an emphasis on sustained performance and consistent I/O responses both of these SSDs.Read more

Samsung SSD 845DC PRO Review
The Samsung 845DC PRO is an enterprise-grade SSD designed to deliver high performance, especially in random write, and consistent low latency over the life of the SSD. The 845DC PRO has adopted the world's first 24-layer 3D V-NAND technology for its storage, giving it up to 10 times higher endurance than conventional NAND. The drive has a cache memory up to 1GB, uses a Samsung3-core MDX controller and in-house firmware, SATA 6Gb/s interface, and boasts impressive performance numbers: sequential write up to 460MB/s and sequential read up to 530MB/s.Read more

Samsung PM853T SSD Review
The Samsung PM853T is the latest entrant into the enterprise SSD space for the company. Like its sister SSD the 845DC EVO (they differ mostly in distribution channel), the PM853T leverages Samsung's TLC NAND and SATA interface. The result is a drive that's a capable alternative for entry-enterprise workloads that tend to be more read centric. The biggest draw however is not so much performance, though the drive excels there, it's drive cost that is the highlight. The PM853T gives the enterprise a solution that is cost effective enough with a performance profile and cost of ownership number that helps spell the end for high-speed 2.5" hard drives.Read more

Samsung SM843T SSD Review
The Samsung SM843T is an enterprise-grade SSD that is designed to offer a consistent level of performance (99.9% reliable latency and QoS) over its lifespan, and is ideal for core enterprise use cases including Big Data systems, VDI and other high-performance enterprise platforms. The SM843T is a companion to the Samsung SM843 drive, which was originally reviewed approximately a year ago. Though both Samsung SSDs use the same MDX S4LN021X01-8030 Controller, the new SM843T is architected specifically for mixed data center use cases, while the SM843 is designed to be used in environments that require read-intensive behavior like server boot drives, higher-end enterprise client workstations and certain embedded applications. The other main difference between the two is that the SM843T uses enterprise NAND (eMLC), which focuses on prolonging the reliability of the drive, while the SM843 uses client MLC NAND.Read more

Samsung SSD 845DC EVO Review
The Samsung SSD 845DC EVO line of drives are specifically designed to provide high performance and reliability--though cost-effective--solutions for today's increasing data traffic in servers and data centers. Samsung indicates its new family of SSDs will deliver a very high level of sustained performance as well as consistent low latency over the life of the drive, giving it the ability to meet demands of increasing data handling. Under the hood, the 845DC Evo is equipped with Samsung's 19nm Toggle 3bit NAND, making it the first enterprise-class SSD to use TLC NAND. This new use of NAND combined with its MEX controller allows the Samsung 845DC EVO to be one more energy-efficient drives on the market, all the while maintaining the excellent performance.Read more

Toshiba PX03SN Enterprise SSD Review (800GB)
The PX03SN is Toshiba's latest option for customers looking to take advantage of the rapidly evolving light enterprise SSD niche. The PX03SN a read-intensive enterprise SSD that leverages 19nm Toshiba MLC NAND for duties which require enterprise read performance such as host server storage and caching where write operations would total less than the PX03SN's rated one full drive write per day. The PX03SN is available in capacities from 200GB to 1.6TB and uses a 7mm 2.5-inch form factor with a SAS 12Gb/s interface.Read more

Micron M500DC Enterprise SSD Review
Micron today announced the availability of its new M500DC Enterprise SSD, a light-enterprise SSD designed and manufactured entirely in-house by Micron at a price point designed to make flash easier to adopt. Like its M500 cousin, the M500DC is built with Micron's 20nm MLC flash and is offered with a SATA interface. The big change is the new M500DC increases the endurance from the M500, guaranteeing two drive fills per day for five years and a mean time between failures of 2M hours. The endurance figures are sufficient to deliver on enterprise use cases with fewer writes that still need advanced data path protection and features like power fail protection.Read more

Samsung SSD 840 Pro Enterprise SSD Review
The Samsung SSD 840 Pro isn't a new SSD, it was released 18 months ago and targeted toward the client market. At the time, we did a complete review of the SSD 840 Pro and found it to be a very capable SSD for its targeted use cases. A funny thing has happened though over time. Web hosts and many others looking for a good SSD with moderate write endurance have been turning to the SSD 840 Pro. It's a lower cost alternative than duty-built drives designed for enterprise users and it still offers a good mix of performance and write endurance. This phenomenon isn't new, even hybrid and all flash arrays have been "guilty" of using client SSDs as their mainstay for many years. Despite the best intentions of the SSD vendors who would prefer enterprise users buy their enterprise drives, the cost equation sometimes wins out, hence the 840 Pro wiggling itself into more and more server deployments, despite its relative age and client focus.Read more

Seagate 1200 Enterprise SSD Review
The Seagate 1200 stakes a claim for the high-end enterprise SSD business as Seagate is part of the first wave of storage vendors to ship 12Gb/s SAS enterprise SSDs. The Seagate 1200 comes in 1.8-inch and 2.5-inch form factors, a 7mm z-height, and capacities up to 800GB. The 1200 series is a performance-oriented SSD the growing number of host platforms and applications which can take advantage of its 12Gb/s interface. According to Seagate, the 800GB and 400GB models can attain peak sequential 128k throughputs of 750MB/s for read operations and 500MB/s for write operations.Read more

The PX02SS and is available in 100GB, 200GB, 400GB, and 800GB capacities and offers notable write endurance among its class due to an overprovisioned Toshiba 24nm eMLC architecture. The Toshiba PX02SS is specified for 5.48PB total bytes written for the 100GB edition up to 43.8PB TBW for the 800GB SSD.Read more

Northwestern's non-conference basketball schedule was supposed to feature Butler, but doesn't, and features road games at Stanford, UIC and NC State, as well as a home game against Illinois State.
Northwestern's heading to the 2013 Las Vegas Invitational, likely to play either UCLA or Mizzou. It's probably the best preseason tourney NU has participated in of late.
Northwestern-Ohio State will be in primetime on October 5, and that means it could be prime fodder for College GameDay, everybody's favorite college football buffet starter/a show where a crazy...
Sorry, Missouri and Marquette - Drew Crawford's decided to stick with Northwestern for one last hurrah to finish his career under Chris Collins.
Northwestern will add another former Northwestern player as the third member of their staff: Patrick - not Pat - Baldwin will reportedly leave Missouri State to be an assistant under Chris Collins.
Teddy Greenstein reports that Marquette and Missouri are the two schools guard Drew Crawford could switch to for his fifth season after a redshirt allowed him the opportunity to transfer.
Brian James knows Illinois well and has tons of experience as an NBA assistant - he'll apparently swap from Doug Collins' staff with the Philadelphia 76ers to Chris Collins', which would make him...
Tavaras Hardy is responsible for the lion's share of important players on Northwestern's roster, and the highly touted recruiter will stay at his alma mater under Chris Collins, who has retained...
Two of Bill Carmody's three assistant coaches will not be retained by Chris Collins, as former Rutgers head coach Fred Hill and international specialist Ivan Vujic will not be returning.
Northwestern's commitment to Chris Collins isn't just short-term: he's under contract through the end of this decade as Northwestern gives him time to settle in.
As suspected, longtime Duke assistant Chris Collins will be the next head coach of Northwestern basketball, meaning the Wildcats got their first choice for the job.
Word is Chris Collins had already been hired as Northwestern's next basketball coach, as we wait for everything to get official.
We're still a little while from hearing anything official, but talk about Northwestern's head coaching vacancy continues to center around Chris Collins, who leads the pack by more than a little bit.
Chris Collins is the first confirmed interviewee for the Northwestern vacancy per Teddy Greenstein, while Jeff Goodman of CBS says that Collins to the Cats is "all but done".
Jaren Sina will be free to look at other programs after Northwestern fired the coach he signed up to play for. But will he actually go elsewhere?
After 13 years of ups and downs - and no NCAA Tournament bids - Northwestern has finally had enough of Bill Carmody. He's been fired, and NU begins its first major coaching search in 13 years.
Northwestern was down 11-0 in the blink of an eye, and now their year is over.
It might be early, but the Wildcats are starting spring football. What should we be paying attention to? Oh, nothing? Great.
Once again, Northwestern will reconsider Bill Carmody's position as head basketball coach after another season where his team will fall short of the NCAA tournament. (Barring a miracle, of course.)
Jared Swopshire's knee injury will apparently end his year, and probably his basketball career as the Louisville transfer was playing a graduate year.
In a weird twist, Northwestern won a basketball game against a ranked team. It's both cooler and less cool that it was a dying Illinois team.
NORTHWESTERN WON A BOWL GAME! Let's talk about how great it feels.
WELP. Bad news, as Northwestern's best player, Drew Crawford, will need shoulder surgery and miss the rest of the season, so the NCAA Tournament, maybe not so much.

The Chattanooga Lookouts played in Engel Stadium from 1930 through 1999.
"My first time out on the field, I'm the home plate umpire and the two directors are standing right next to me and Jackie Robinson's going to bat. The two directors are talking and they say the pitcher will throw the pitch and Jackie will look back at the umpire and then the umpire will make the call. Well, I tell them that's not how the sequence would go — he'd throw the pitch, I'd make the call and he'd look back at me. The directors look up slowly at me and go, 'You're a director?' ... They eventually did shoot it my way."
— Jim Reynolds, who plays an umpire
"The one big scene that I had, and you can see it in the trailer, is when Jackie Robinson walks out of the dugout and all the reporters are huddled around him. ... You can tell it's me because I have a huge, gigantic head."
— Webb Wright, who plays a reporter
"I have no idea if I'm any scenes. (He's in one of the movie's promotional posters.) One of the main publicity photos they are using features us in the the media circus so I have taken quite a bit of ribbing about that and I'm playing along with it. It's been fun."
— Billy Weeks, who plays a photographer
"It was all a positive experience. If there was anything negative, it was working with [stunt coordinator] Allan Graf. He's done all the football movies we know and you could tell he was a football guy. Baseball is different. We had a scene where we had to hit a ground ball between short and third and if you didn't hit in that exact location, Allan was yelling at you. That was some stress. He'd say things like, 'I don't know why in the world I hired you in the first place.'"
— Jamie Ruehling, who plays third baseman Johnny "Spider" Jorgensen
"It was quite humorous to turn around and see dummies looking forward with fixed stares. They could make a zombie baseball film right now if they wanted to."
— Jacquelyn Rogers, a crowd extra commenting on dummies that filled empty grandstand seats
"I just channeled my grandfather and hid my tattoos."
— Shawn Watwood, crowd extra
"There's like 100 people in there doing five seconds of shooting. We're just chilling right now. 'Hurry up and wait.' That the motto for an extra."
— Justin Hix, crowd extra
"In my mind, I almost tune out the cameras and the extras and think of it as a real game."
— Hunter Clowdus, Lookouts batboy who plays the Dodgers' batboy
"I learned so much. Harrison (Ford) told me stuff, and Chad (Boseman) and I talked all the time ... I never stopped running. I ran everywhere, I was so excited. Harrison said I was finding my way. He also told me to keep my focus."

Sanitizer blamed in hospital fire that burned girl
Feb 19, 2013
By The Associated Press
PORTLAND — An 11-year-old girl caught on fire in her room at a Portland hospital, and her parents believe the cause was the hand sanitizer she used to wipe a table after painting a wooden box as a gift to her nurses.
The Feb. 2 fire at Oregon Health & Science University's Doernbecher Children's Hospital caused third-degree burns to 18 percent of Ireland Lane's body, The Oregonian reported.
The Klamath Falls girl's father, a Navy veteran, was napping in the room. She ran into the hallway in flames, waking him. He and hospital staff put out the fire.
The hospital's rapid response team took the girl to the intensive care unit where she was treated before being transferred to Legacy Oregon Burn Center, a nearby burn treatment center.
Ireland has already undergone one skin graft surgery and a second surgery is scheduled for Thursday, her 12th birthday.
Ireland, a survivor of a rare childhood kidney cancer, was admitted to the hospital initially because she hit her head at school and lost consciousness. She was due to leave the hospital that day.
Her father, Stephen Lane, said he believes the alcohol-based hand sanitizer was ignited by a spark of static electricity from his daughter playing with her bed sheets.
"As readily available as hand sanitizer is nowadays, and how everybody sends it to school with their kids, it makes me much more worried," he told The Oregonian.
A spokeswoman for the hospital said she could not comment further because the fire is still under investigation by the state fire marshal.
"Despite an exhaustive search of the patient's room on the morning of the incident, neither OHSU's investigative team nor the fire marshal were immediately able to determine the source of the fire," Tamara Hargens-Bradley said in an email to The Associated Press.
A news release from OHSU Doernbecher noted that the hospital uses hand sanitizer that is 60 percent alcohol, the same kind that is recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to kill germs and prevent the spread of infection.
"Nothing like this has ever happened at Doernbecher," said Dr. Stacy Nicholson, the physician-in-chief at the children's hospital. "Our safety experts are working closely with the Oregon state fire marshal's office on its investigation. We anxiously await their findings and will certainly make adjustments if the cause was preventable."
The fire marshal's office said it could not comment while the investigation is ongoing.
Oregon's Occupational Safety and Health Administration said fires involving hand sanitizer are not common, and it is not aware of similar fires.

Oneida and Cayuga join the Iroquois Confederacy
Posted By Dennis On In Native American,New York | No Comments
"The Oneida and Cayuga," says Gallatin, "are said to have been compelled to join [the confederacy.] Those two tribes were the younger and the three others the older members." Zinzendorf, speaking of the Iroquois, says "the Oneidas and Cayuga are their children."–Indian tribes of North America.
"By the early French writers, the Mohawks and Oneidas were styled the lower or inferior Iroquois; while the Onondagas, Cayuga and Seneca, were denominated the upper or superior Iroquois, because they were located near the sources of the St. Lawrence. The Mohawks, who are commonly supposed to be the first nation in the confederacy and were considered the most warlike people in the land, were also styled elder brothers of the other nations, and so esteemed themselves. To [them] was always accorded the high consideration of furnishing the war captain, or 'Tekarahogea,' of the confederacy, which distinguished title was retained with them till the year 1814, when the celebrated Hoa-ho-a-quah, an Onondaga, was chosen in general council at Buffalo to fill that important station.
The political and social organizations of the Iroquois though simple in their structure were effective in their operation. They were calculated to violate as little as might be the high regard this people had for individual liberty, which they required should be the largest, consistent with the general welfare. The method by which they secured efficiency without imposing undue restraint was as unique as it was simple and happy. No light tie could hold to the harmonious development of a common interest so fierce and barbarous a people as these. The problem was eminently worthy of the genius which solved it; for while it held them inflexibly, yet unrestrainedly, to all matters relating to their federate existence, it secured the utmost elasticity and freedom in their tribal and national relations. The entire control of all civil matters affecting the common interest was vested in a national council of about fifty sachems, though in some instances as many as eighty, chosen at first from the wisest men in their several nations, and afterwards hereditary in their families. All met as equals, but a peculiar dignity was ever attached to the Atotarho of the Onondagas. All the nations were represented and each had one vote in the council. This general council was held by common consent in the principal village of the Onondagas, the central nation.[1] Thither, if the matter under consideration was of deep and general interest, not the sachems alone, but the greater part of the population, gathered; and while the sachems deliberated in the council-house, the chiefs and old men, the warriors, and often the women, were holding their respective councils apart, and their opinions, laid by their deputies before the council of sachems, were never without influence on its decisions. All questions of tribal, national and federal polity were discussed and decided in councils. They had no written constitution, and no attempt was made to coerce a nation or individual. The authority of these sachems was measured by the estimate the people put upon their wisdom and integrity; and the execution of Parkman's Jesuits. of their plans rested upon the voluntary acquiescence of those whom they represented. But the Iroquois were actuated by a high regard for personal and national honor, which ever sufficed to impress them with a deep sense of duty. Women were excluded from the deliberations of the councils.
A marked feature of the Iroquois civil polity was that which made the concurrence of all the nations necessary before any measure could be adopted. To secure this unanimity the most persuasive powers of reason and eloquence were constantly employed. Their speakers studied euphony in the selection and arrangement of their words, and their discourses were made highly impressive, if not always eloquent and convincing, by the use of graceful attitudes and gestures. In this severe school were trained those orators, whose efforts have challenged favorable comparison with the best in civilized nations, and reflected not less renown on the federation than its bravest warriors.[2]
Parkman, in his work on the Jesuits, says:
"The ease and frequency with which a requisition seemingly so difficult was fulfilled afford a striking illustration of Indian nature,–on one side so stubborn, tenacious and impracticable; on the other so pliant and acquiescent. An explanation of this harmony is to be found also in an intense spirit of nationality: for never since the days of Sparta were individual life and national life more completely fused into one.[3]
"There was a class of men among the Iroquois always put forward on public occasions to speak the mind of the nation or defend its interests. Nearly all of them were of the number of the subordinate chiefs. Nature and training had fitted them for public speaking, and they were deeply versed in the history and traditions of the league. They were in fact professed orators, high in honor and influence among the people. To a huge stock of conventional metaphors, the use of which required nothing but practice, they often added an astute intellect, an astonishing memory, and an eloquence which deserved the name.
"In one particular, the training of these savage politicians was never surpassed. They had no art of writing to record events, or preserve the stipulations of treaties. Memory, therefore, was tasked to the utmost, and developed to an extraordinary degree. They had various devices for aiding it, such as bundles of sticks, and that system of signs, emblems, and rude pictures, which they shared with other tribes. Their famous wampum belts were so many mnemonic signs, each standing for some act, speech, treaty, or clause of a treaty. These represented the public archives, and were divided among various custodians, each charged with the memory and interpretation of those assigned to him. The meaning of the belts was from time to time expounded in the councils. In conferences with them nothing more astonished the French, Dutch and English officials than the precision with which, before replying to their addresses, the Indian orators repeated them point by point."

Upscale Dining in San Diego?
I'm in my early 20's and I've been going out with this wonderful girl for a while.
Now I want to take her to a nice place for dinner, something upscale, and ask out officially.
She's from Los Angeles so I would like to show her a nice San Diego view while we dine.
I've been going back and forth between Mr. A's and the Marine Room...
How's the view at Mr. A's?
Any other sugestions for upscale dinning in San Diego that might fit the occassion?
Thank you in adance!
In answer to your question, the view at Mr. A's is spectacular.
Given your stated age, and that this is your first post on Chowhound, I'm going to guess you're more interested in the view and the ambience than the cuisine. My opinion: the Marine Room and Mr. A's are going to be a little stuffy and staid for young folks.
While not exactly cutting edge in the cuisine or "scene" departments, but with excellent water views near downtown, I'd take a look at Island Prime and Top Of The Market, both just off Harbor Drive.
re: mcgrath
Island Prime and Top of the Market have nothing to do with upscale dining. (especially if you invite somebody from LA). If you want view and good food go to Georges in La Jolla (California Modern) and ask for a table at the windows. Otherwise you have to choose between a restaurant with good food or good view in San Diego.
re: honkman
I have a number of friends and relatives who've never heard of places like Chowhound and could care less about the intricacies of fine cuisine. I suspect most posters here know folks like this.
To the otherwise wonderful people I know who fall into this category, the concept of 'upscale dining' means an expensive, fancy looking place with carpeting, white linen tablecloths and perhaps a view. Most would prefer a steak at Island Prime over George's Loch Duart salmon with fava beans and aioli, mainly because they haven't a clue what the latter is, and certainly wouldn't appreciate the difference from a culinary standpoint.
Anyway, I had a feeling the poster was more interested in view than cuisine and advised accordingly. If I was wrong, George's would be an excellent choice. And I agree that Island Prime and Top of the Market certainly DO NOT fit the definition of upscale dining most posters here go by.
re: mcgrath
"To the otherwise wonderful people I know who fall into this category, the concept of 'upscale dining' means an expensive, fancy looking place with carpeting, white linen tablecloths and perhaps a view"
I completely agree and so it might be good idea to try to help those people to be more openminded and guide them to places where upscale dining is not only about the carpeting, tablecloth and the view. (At least that's what my wife and i are doing with friends, collegues and most of them are often very interested to learn more.
re: stevewag23
How about a compromise: a restaurant with great food and, while not having a view from in-house, is in a great view location? I'm thinking Nine-Ten, one of our most upscale dining experiences, located in the gorgeous La Jolla Cove area. As I've recommended on other threads, go to the La Valencia hotel around sunset for pre-dinner drinks and either sit outside on the balcony towards the back of the lobby or in the indoor "livingroom," both of which afford great views of the ocean, then stroll over to Nine-Ten for one of the best meals to be found in San Diego.
re: SDgirl
I agree.
Nine-Ten, La Valencia and Marine Room are all good choices.
re: stevewag23
Marine Room's food is good. The only time I had anything there that was not so great was during restaurant week when they were churning out high-volume cheaper plates.
I think people need to upgrade their conventional wisdom.
No, Marine Room isn't a super-adventurous cutting edge destination - it's a classy, quiet, upscale restaurant with a great view and really well-prepared and presented food.
re: stevewag23
If George's doesn't work out, I'd suggest drinks at Mr. A's at sunset (outside on the patio) then cruise down the hill and have dinner at Starlite on India Street. It's a hip, intimate spot with great food and fantastic inventive cocktails. The food isn't fancy - but it's very good - modern,seasonal etc.
I am looking for good quality food, "the wrapping" or as a poster stated "the carpeting, tablecloth and the view" are also important but mainly I am interested in the fine cuisine the place has to offer.
That is why I am going to go with George's as my first choice.
Thank you all for your advice and suggestions.
re: DougOLis
DougOLis--what entrees have you had at Kitchen 1540? I've been once and intend to return again. My apps and dessert were good, although I have a hard time crediting the apps to the chef b/c it was a charcuterie plate (ie: get a good source and you're good to go). Entree was decent (branzino w/ shishito peppers, mushrooms and veggies) and had a creativity behind it but somehow lacked the extra "something" to make it really sing. Even a dusting of kosher salt didn't quite do the trick.
re: daantaat
I had the branzino a few months ago, and really enjoyed it. I thought it was interesting/good that the waiter went out of his way to explain that it was served on the bone when I ordered it; he mentioned that some customers are taken aback when presented with a whole fish if not forewarned.
I can't remember what my wife had (it may have been the veggie dish), but she enjoyed it too. Apps were oysters.
A few nights later (we were staying at the Auberge), we decided to just have appetizers as they all sounded so good, so we split 4 of them - the prawns, scallops, agnolotti, and risotto. We were really impressed by them all. I can't for the life of me remember what the dessert was, but it was superb.
They used to have a decent restaurant before (we have stayed there many times), but it is much better since the recent renovations. Unfortunately Champagne Cafe (which was on the hotel grounds) closed sometime before our visit; they used to make amazing brioche, which was perfect with coffee.
re: souschef
I'm glad your experiences there are consistent with my own. I've been there three times since the reincarnation as Kitchen 1540 and for my money, Chef McCabe is one of San Diego's stars.
re: daantaat
We went more app heavy on my visit there and I couldn't have been more pleased. Had the foie gras and pop rocks which was a very fun and whimsical take and tasty to boot. I've had better preparations but it was still very good and worth trying. The nettle risotto was probably my favorite dish on the night. Amazing flavors and everything was cooked perfectly. I'm not a huge scallop fan but I thought it was good albeit maybe cooked a bit long. The popcorn puree that came with it was quite tasty and reminded me of Alinea's liquefied popcorn. The bison tartare was damned good and the flavors were perfectly balanced. The pork short ribs were very tender and flavorful. I typically don't order dessert but we finished with the root beer trio and it was a nice way to finish off the meal. I'm not sure it amazed me but it was a nice finish and it may have been the best root beer float I've ever had.
I'm curious to try the burger just to finish out the never ending quest for San Diego's best burger but I don't have high hopes for a few reasons. .Naomi Wise's review. I don't care for Palomar beef, Aldersprings Ranch and Tallgrass taste better. Aged cheddar is a bad idea on a burger, you should use a young cheese that can melt and not overpower it.
re: Robey
If George's doesn't work out for some reason, I'd suggest Market (no view but excellent food), Addison (no view but it's on a beautiful resort property and again, w/ excellent food) or El Bizcocho (some views of the resort/golf course and w/ excellent food).
Make sure you ask for the downstairs dining at George's. That's where the best food is. The upper 2 levels have different and less "refined" menus. George's has the best combo of good food and view in SD.
SDgirl has a great suggestion of doing drinks w/ a view and then dinner at a good place w/ a lesser view.
I really enjoy the food that they make in-house at Whiskn'ladle at the cove (apparently they even churn their own butter). The menu there is from all local farms so the menu changes pretty often. I can't suggest any dishes, but I can tell you that the menu from their pastry chef is often an ingenious work of art. Oh, and you will like the atmosphere.
If both you and your date enjoy steak, I would dine at the the Cowboy Star in east village. this place also has a reputable bar that specializes in whiskey. With over 50 varieties of whiskey guests should prepare themselves for interesting cocktails. Plus, the bartender, Garth passionately stirs up a delicious Manhattan! if you are late eaters or want a more romantic quiet setting this is the place for you. How many places will serve both food and drink till 2 in the morning.
I will suggest that if you are willing to drive up to Escondido; the Stone brewery is a great spot for beer lovers. Especially if your date is into beer; think about bringing her for the six o'clock tour for beer education and samples. Then make your way to the dinning room for a delicious and inventive menu. By the way, when they say it is spicy, it kinda actually is! (this is coming from a guy who puts 2-3 habaneros in guacamole. Did i mention that the gardens are beautiful and would make a nice walk if you arrived before the tour right before sunset?
Those are my best suggestions; there are others that are great but these should be reserved for the most special evenings.
re: spotprawn
Addison gets a lot of love. If you enjoy wine, the Wine Spectator just awarded "best" in the nation, not bad for our sleepy little beach town, might also have been because the list was alphabetical. I need to read the article. Here is a nice write up from a while ago with a picture of the dining room.
re: stevuchan
I think Addison is the perfect spot. Great food and wine and the resort is beautiful. Your date would surely be impressed.
re: aafflyer
"Since its race season reservations might be tough to get"
Shouldn't be that hard.
Del Mar was the slowest I have seen in recent years last summer.
Should be even slower this summer.

When we were at the Auberge Del Mar in April we paid a weekday rate of $160 through Expedia; the weekday rate for August, depending upon which week you go is $395 or $450. Even more on the weekend!
Has anyone eaten at the restaurant across 15th Street from the Auberge? The name escapes me, but they specialize in spicy hot food. They are supposed to be very good, but I can't eat spicy hot.

"the weekday rate for August, depending upon which week you go is $395 or $450. Even more on the weekend!"
Not a good gauge.
Del Mar has very few hotel rooms, so they are always able to gouge in the summer during track season.
And you are talking about the top hotel with a huge multimillion dollar renovation (making it look like a ripoff of miami beach circa 1999).
In an up economy they would charge 500-600 for those rooms.

Way too young to get married.
These days 60 year old men are dating 21 year old girls.

"Way too young to get married"
...so true in this century and - you're making a lot of sense - that I concur.
BTW, who are you and what did you do with Stevewag23?
re: Sampaguita
I always make sense.
Sometimes people just don't agree with it.

NEW YORK (AP) — The tastes of the reading public are turning digital.
A Pew Internet Research Center survey released Thursday found that the percentage of Americans aged 16 and older who read an e-book grew from 16 percent in 2011 to 23 percent this year. Readers of traditional books dropped from 72 percent to 67 percent. Overall, those reading books of any kind dropped from 78 percent to 75 percent, a shift Pew called statistically insignificant.
Those owning an e-book device or tablet jumped from 18 percent to 33 percent, with much of that increase coming from last year's holiday season, when millions received Kindles, Nooks and other e-readers as gifts.
Awareness that libraries offer digital texts grew from 24 percent to 31 percent.
The telephone survey of 2,252 people aged 16 and older was conducted from Oct. 15 to Nov. 10. It has a sampling error margin of plus or minus 2.3 percentage points.
