"Welcome Happy Morning" is an Easter hymn familiar in several denominations and a lifelong favorite of mine for its rousing tune and joyful lyrics. It speaks to the glory of this greatest of all days for Christians:
"Welcome happy morning," age to age shall say: Hell today is vanquished, heaven is won today!
Lo the dead is living, God for evermore!
Him their true Creator, all his works adore!
Yet my most vivid memory of singing that hymn involves a gathering darkness. It stretches back 30 years to Easter morning at a downtown Jackson church. As a full-throated congregation sang about the vanquishing of hell, a version of hell was unfolding for thousands of Jackson residents. A few blocks down from the church, water crept up Capitol Street.
By that afternoon, the magnitude of the great Easter Flood of 1979 was apparent. Muddy water from the Pearl River was up to rooftops in thousands of homes. In spite of the bright sunshine, it was a day that was awfully hard to welcome, and anything but happy.
Those whose homes, businesses and churches were destroyed in the Tupelo tornado of 1936, or who had buried friends, relatives and neighbors among the 200-plus dead, may not have felt like singing "Welcome happy morning" on Easter, a week after the terrible storm hit on Palm Sunday evening. But some probably did sing it – or other hymns of Easter triumph and joy – in spite of the circumstances.
The juxtaposition of tragedy, disaster and celebration isn't always as unfitting as it may seem, certainly not for people of a resurrection faith. Remember those scenes from the beachfront on the Sunday after Hurricane Katrina, with people standing on the slabs where their churches had been, holding on to each other and God?
The overriding Easter message is that the absolute worst we can experience is never the last word. The hells that we sometimes must live through are surmountable. There is light and new life on the other side.
That includes the big stuff like disasters or the loss of those close to us. But it's also just as true for the little deaths we die each day, for the times when we feel beaten down by the ordinary bumps and bruises of life. A new day will dawn, and it will be better. Our minds and our hearts will be renewed. All is never lost, even when humanity seems at its cruelest point.
Earth her joy confesses, clothing her for spring,
All fresh gifts returned with her returning King:
Bloom in every meadow; leaves on every bough,
Speak his sorrow ended, hail his triumph now.
There's a reason that the early Christian church connected the Easter celebration with pagan rites of spring. What better testimony to the message of Christ's resurrection than the natural world, seemingly dead for months, exploding in a bright and colorful renewal of life? Bunnies and eggs aren't as disconnected from the "true meaning" of Easter as we sometimes think. The revival of all things living, after all, is vivid testimony to victory over the grave.
As for happy mornings, we have, in this day and age, a distorted or at least incomplete understanding of the word "happy." To us it connotes a feeling of cheerfulness, even giddiness. It means we're up, not down, emotionally.
But the truly happy person rarely is happy in that way all or even most of the time. He or she must struggle with life's trials and tribulations, large and small. But a deep happiness – a sense of peace, rootedness and hope – abides. We all know people like that: They're resurrection people. They know that death, literal and figurative, doesn't ultimately win.
The power of resurrection lifted the people in Jackson in 1979 whose homes were under water and full of muck. It gave Tupelo in 1936 and the Mississippi Coast in 2005 the strength for recovery and renewal. All may not have credited the One who rose, or knew that they were relying on him, but he was in the midst of them still. And so it is with us, here and now.
Loose the souls long prisoned, bound with Satan's chain;
All that now is fallen rise to life again;
Show thy face in brightness, bid the nations see;
Bring again our daylight, day returns with thee!
Welcome happy morning, age to age shall say.

Family: Ursidae, Bears view all from this family
Description A very large, white bear of the Arctic. Longer neck and relatively smaller head than other bears. Fur may appear yellow in summer. Females first breed at age 5-6, and pregnant females may weigh up to 500kg.
Dimensions 2.3-2.6m, 7-12cm, 400-800kg; / 1.9-2.1m, 7-12cm, 175-300kg
Warning All North American bears can be dangerous in the following situations: when accompanied by cubs, when surprised by the sudden appearance of humans, when approached while feeding, guarding a kill, fishing, hungry, injured, or breeding, and when familiarity has diminished their fear of humans. There have been several recorded cases of Polar Bears attacking humans.
Breeding Breeding season is April-May but delayed implantation slows gestation until fall, and cubs are born in December. Neonates are tiny (600g) but grow quickly in the den, and emerge at 10-12kg in March or April. Cubs remain with their mother for 2.5 years, learning to hunt seals on the sea ice. Only pregnant females overwinter in dens; all others remain active.
Habitat Offshore waters, Beaches, shorelines & estuaries
Range Alaska
Discussion Ringed seals are the prey of choice, but they also take bearded seals, and occasional harp seals, hooded seals, walruses, belugas, narwhals, and even sea ducks. They are able to fast for up to 8 months if food is unavailable. Threatened by melting ice associated with global warming and airborne pollutants that accumulate in polar regions. Home ranges may exceed 300km_ in areas of receding ice. Pursues fish and seal prey in pack ice and coastal regions.

As predicted, Microsoft have launched what they've branded the surface tablet at an event in Hollywood. The tablet runs Windows 8, has a 10.6" display and a full-sized USB 2.0 port (which is potentially good news for any windows compatible USB accessories). The tablet is housed in what looks to be a durable magnesium casing. Ina particularly clever touch, the tablet also includes a case whose screen protecting lid folds down to reveal a multi-touch keyboard case or what Microsoft are branding the "touch cover".
Integrated Keyboard Cover
The 3 mm Touch Cover is a clever and intriguing development that could potentially be a game changer for tablet deigns. Because it makes use of pressure-sensitive tech, Microsoft say it enables users to type faster than they normally would using an on-screen keyboard. The Touch cover will also be available in a selection of colours and clicks into the Surface tablet using a magnetic connector.
An optional 5 mm-thin Type Cover will also be made available featuring moving keys for a more traditional laptop typing experience.
New Alloy Technologies
Whilst there is still a significant amount of hype flying around just after the announcement, it is clear that Microsoft are leveraging several new manufacturing technologies in a bid to differentiate themselves from the rest of the tablet pack. Perhaps the most significant new technology embraced by the Surface Tablet is what Microsoft are calling VaporMg (pronounced Vapor-Mag), which appears to be a process that allows alloy parts to be molded as thin as .65 mm (which is thinner than a credit card), to create thin and lighter tablet designs that are not flimsy or have flex.
According to Microsoft's press release "Surface is designed to seamlessly transition between consumption and creation, without compromise." and to this end, it appears that Touch Cover technology has been complimented with an Integrated kick-stand so users can position the Surface for tasks such as watching video, making Skype calls using the Surface Tablets HD front (or rear) facing video cameras. The kickstand can also fold into the back of the Surface tablet when not needed, allowing it to be used in a more traditional tablet/laptop configuration. The kickstand is also under a millimetre thick.
Microsoft will be launching two versions of the Surface tablet: one featuring an ARM processor and running Windows 8 RT, and the other packing an Intel Ivy Bridge processor featuring Windows 8 Pro. Surface for Windows RT will be released in the US markets when Windows 8 launches, and the Windows 8 Pro model is expected to follow the Windows 8 launch within 3 months.
It's hard to conclusively give the Surface Tablet the big tick until it launches but it does have several key things going for it. Firstly it'll be running Windows, so existing apps on desktop or laptop PCs will be able to be migrated across, allowing users to tap into an already massive pool of windows apps.
With a version of Office also being bundled, users will also be able to take their office out with them, and thanks to the touch cover, using a productivity app such as office or Outlook mightn't be an exercise in frustration.
Secondly the addition of a full sized USB 2.0 port also means that the many accessories already compatible with Windows should in theory work with the tablet, meaning there is already a massive pool of hardware awaiting the Surface tablets launch. Last (but by no means least), Windows 8 might be a frustrating experience when used with a traditional PC, but as the consumer preview edition demonstrated, it works brilliantly on a touch screen and could deliver a fairly robust user experience when it launches.
Key facts are however still missing, such as the cost of the Surface Tablet and its likely availability outside the USA. One thing is certain however, the tablet game has just begun to heat up in earnest, and Windows has truly made the leap beyond the PC.

text: Campi introduced a regional realism to the Carracci Academy in Bologna and also influenced Carravaggio, who was born in Lombardy. This sentimental subject is treated formally in a strong composition of repeated shapes. From a high viewpoint the bounteous harvest of fruit and vegetables is visible, as is the woman who is as round and fresh as the fruit she displays. The painting may be an allegory of love, symbolised by the grapes in her hand.

Attention hunters or those seeking modest living accommodations amidst 100 acres: Overgrown farm in process of being fixed up for lease with small liveable 2BR 1BA cabin. It is located in NW Fauquier County, VA about 50 miles SW of Washington DC south of Marshall off I66. Land is about half open (just bush hogged) and half woods, and is LOADED with big fat whitetail deer. Lots of turkey, rabbits, squirrels, coons; occasional black bears during berry season, and resident Canadas. There is a pond and strong stream on it and some wetlands. There is another old house on the property that is not liveable and some outbuildings, including a kennel bldg. next to cabin. Not suitable for horses or livestock as there is no useable fencing left. Very rural area of large farms/estates.
Foundation that owns it wants a presence there, so they want a one-year lease @ $1000/mo./negotiable depending on if you want the cabin or not. Cabin has previously rented for $600-700/mo. They are tired of complaints about poaching/ATV riders. They'd be agreeable to a group leasing it for hunting. Could be a great deal for the right person stuck in the metro D.C. area who needs a place to hunt, shoot guns, train dogs, etc.
My husband and I manage this farm for the foundation that owns it and the fields will be bush hogged regularly and clean up will be ongoing on some of the more overgrown areas including around the pond. If interested PM me or email me at firstname.lastname@example.com. Photos to come as soon as I can find my camera!

The 2012 high school football season featured conference championships, deep playoff runs and some memorble moments for players competing for teams throughout the area. We honor some of the best local players with our 2012 all-area team.
Brian Allen YEAR Junior SCHOOL Hinsdale Central Already with five offers from Big 10 schools, this junior again was the anchor of the offensive line from his center position. His work up front helped the Red Devils rush for over 1,800 yards, averaging 5.36 yards per carry. He also added 22 tackles and 4 sacks as a defensive tackle.
Aaron Bailey YEAR Senior SCHOOL Bolingbrook Despite missing four-plus games with a sprained knee, this Illinois recruit still put up some impressive numbers. In rushing for 742 yards and 12 touchdowns, he averaged 7.8 yards per carry, and he flashed his passing ability with 349 yards and four touchdowns for the year.
Jack Beneventi YEAR Sophomore SCHOOL Benet Only a sophomore, Beneventi helped engineer the Redwings' high-flying offense that put 420 points on the board this season. An East Suburban Catholic all-conference selection, Beneventi completed 60 percent of his passes for 2,318 yards and 20 touchdowns.
DJ Deolitsis YEAR Senior SCHOOL Hinsdale South This senior was a main reason behind the Hornets returning to the postseason. This quarterback was especially dangerous with his feet, running for 1,098 yards and 18 touchdowns. Deolitsis also passed for 852 yards and five scores.
Vontae Diggs YEAR Junior SCHOOL Downers Grove North A lithe, athletic defensive lineman, Diggs wreaked havoc on opponents. He had 16 tackles for loss and six sacks, both tops on the team, and he turned in the play of the year with a punt block and touchdown against Benet in the state quarterfinals as the Trojans stormed back in the fourth quarter.
Tim Doll YEAR Junior SCHOOL Westmont An Interstate Eight all-conference selection, Doll was the engine behind the Sentinels' offense that had several baig games, including a 35-14 win over Reed-Custer in front of the home fans Sept. 21.David Edwards YEAR Sophomore SCHOOL Downers Grove North The 6-foot-6 sophomore ran the Trojans' option offense to a T. Splitting carries with backfield mates Brandon Salter and Kyle Leto, Edwards rushed for 719 yards and a team-leading nine touchdowns. He also passed for 502 yards and three touchdowns in limited attempts.
Jack Euritt YEAR Senior SCHOOL Benet An East Suburban Catholic all-conference selection, Euritt finished the season as the Redwings' leading receiver with 850 yards (more than one third of the team's receiving yards) and 10 touchdowns (nearly half of Benet's 24 touchdown receptions).
Chris Giatras YEAR Senior SCHOOL Lemont A true definition of a workhorse, this senior running back carried the ball 257 times this fall, averaging 6.2 yards per attempt. Giatras finished with 1,592 rushing yards and most importantly, found the end zone 25 times.
Kyle Leto YEAR Junior SCHOOL Downers Grove North Splitting backfield carries with Brandon Salter, the 5-foot-6, 155-pound running back could get lost behind the offensive line. But nothing overshadowed his accomplishments as he compiled 775 yards (7.3 per carry) and found the end zone seven times.
Tim McAuliffe YEAR Senior SCHOOL Lemont Behind almost every great running back is a strong offensive line, and that was the case this fall with the Indians. Headed to Bowling Green to continue his football career, this guard/center helped open up holes for Chris Giatras, who finished with nearly 1,600 rushing yards.
Connor O'Brien YEAR Senior SCHOOL Lemont With a nose for the football, this linebacker was all over the field for the Indians. O'Brien led the defensive unit with 97 solo tackles while adding 33 assists. He also registered six sacks while tallying three fumble recoveries and two forced fumbles.
Brian Owens YEAR Senior SCHOOL Hinsdale Central This senior again was the main cog in the Red Devils offense, completing 139-of-243 passes for 2,236 yards and 20 touchdowns. Owens was also third on the team in rushing with 199 yards and three scores.
Ethan Pocic YEAR Senior SCHOOL Lemont Selected to the Illinois Football Coaches Association Class 6A All State team, this offensive tackle will continue his football career at LSU. His blocking up front was a major reason why the Indians rushed for over 3,000 yards this season, averaging 6.0 yards per attempt. Also playing on defense, he totaled 19 solo tackles.
Andrew Pyle YEAR Senior SCHOOL Hinsdale Central The unquestioned leader of the defense, this senior linebacker topped the Red Devils with 75 solo tackles. He added 19 assists, one sack and two fumble recoveries.
Brandon Salter YEAR Senior SCHOOL Downers Grove North A tough runner also capable of breaking off a big, athletic run, Salter averaged a team-best 7.5 yards per carry and led the team in rushing 870 yards. He also scored seven touchdowns on the year.
Omar Stover YEAR Senior SCHOOL Bolingbrook While teammates Jaden Huff and Aaron Bailey missed some time with injuries, Stover was a constant in the backfield for the Raiders. The all-state selection led the team with 1,012 yards rushing and scored 12 touchdowns, tied with Bailey for the team lead.
Arian Toney YEAR Junior SCHOOL Hinsdale South Toney burst onto the scene this fall and should be one of the top running backs in the area next season. The junior averaged 6.33 yards per carry, rushing for 1,145 yards to go along with 12 touchdowns.
Emile Wisdom YEAR Senior SCHOOL Bolingbrook Typical for Bolingbrook football, the Raiders had several stellar athletes on the defensive side of the ball and Wisdom might have been the most well-rounded. The linebacker was a solid tackler and defensive leader who always seemed to be in the thick of the play.
Mike Zebold YEAR Senior SCHOOL Downers Grove South Probably the Mustangs' most consistent offensive player throughout the season, the quarterback got it done through the air and on the ground, especially in a highlight reel game against Morton in which he passed for 231 yards and four touchdowns on six completions and ran for 55 yards on five carries.

Miniature La Chaise
Vitra has manufactured furniture designs by Charles & Ray Eames and George Nelson since 1957. Building on this foundation, Vitra has developed a wide range of furnishings for the office, for the home and for public spaces in collaboration with progressive designers. Yet Vitra is more than just a design-oriented manufacturing company. The name also stands for the Vitra Design Museum, for a collection of modern furniture and its accompanying archive, for workshops and publications on topics of design, and for an architectural concept that unites buildings by Frank Gehry, Nicholas Grimshaw, Zaha Hadid, Tadao Ando, Alvaro Siza, Herzog & de Meuron and SANAA at the Vitra Headquarters in Birsfelden (Switzerland) and on the Vitra Campus in Weil am Rhein (Germany).
Product longevity is central to Vitra's contribution to sustainable development; short-lived styling is avoided at all costs. This can be seen most clearly in the classical pieces of furniture that have been used for decades, had several owners and have then even ended up as a part of a collection. For Vitra, the manufacture of sustainable products means intense pre-production development, where the highest-grade materials are selected and tests are carried out that simulate 15 years of use. In order to enforce and monitor sustainable development in all business activities of the company, a work group was formed in 1986 by the name of 'Vitra and the Environment'. Because of this, Vitra can proudly claim that it has been dedicated to sustainability for nearly a quarter of a century.
With a grand sense of adventure, Charles and Ray Eames turned their curiosity and boundless enthusiasm into creations that established them as a truly great husband-and-wife design team. Their unique synergy led to a whole new look with modern furniture. Lean and modern. Playful and functional. Sleek, sophisticated, and beautifully simple. That was and is the "Eames look."
Their historical impact on the modern design shift and their relationship with Herman Miller began with molded plywood chairs in the late 1940s and included the world-renowned Eames lounge chair, which is now in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
In addition to his professional career, Mark has been an industrial design professor at Pratt Institute for 14 years. In his graduate furniture design class, students are responsible for the ideation, design, and execution of an actual piece of furniture. The emphasis of the course is to encourage students to develop their own individual point of view.View other products by Charles + Ray Eames

Family: Gasterosteidae, Sticklebacks view all from this family
Description The three-spined stickleback, Gasterosteus aculeatus, is a fish native to much of northern Europe, northern Asia and North America. It has been introduced into parts of southern and central Europe.
Three-spined sticklebacks have recently become a major research organism for evolutionary biologists trying to understand the genetic changes involved in adapting to new environments. The entire genome of a female fish from Bear Paw Lake in Alaska was recently sequenced by the Broad Institute and many other genetic resources are available. This population is under risk from the presence of introduced northern pike in a nearby lake.
Dimensions Up to 4" (10 cm).
Endangered Status The Unarmored Threespine Stickleback, a subspecies of the Threespine Stickleback, is on the U.S. Endangered Species List. It is classified as endangered in California. The primary causes of this species' decline are the introduction of exotic fishes, which prey on it and compete with it for food; destruction or degradation of its habitat by urban development and water-management practices; and its intergrading with other subspecies of sticklebacks.
Habitat Estuaries, tidal flats & salt marshes, Lakes & ponds, Rivers & streams, Tidepools.
Range New England, Mid-Atlantic, California, Northwest, Eastern Canada, Western Canada, Alaska.

Mobile web developers: Your users hate it when you do this
Mobile Firefox beta releases include a "Feedback" add-on (like the one in Firefox 4 beta for desktop), which lets users tell us what they think about the new browser. Based on a sample of feedback from mobile beta testers, the most common complaints are about:
- Speed
- Fitting text to the screen when zoomed in
- Mobile vs. desktop versions of web sites
The first two are straightforward, though not necessarily easy. We're always working on performance, and we have experimental text reflow code (currently available in the Easy Reading add-on). But the last item is more complicated…
Browser detection pitfalls
Web sites can read the User-Agent header sent by your browser to see what browser and OS you are using. Some sites use that information to decide whether to send a "full" version of a web page, or a version formatted for mobile devices.
This can go wrong in several ways. If your browser or device is new, or wasn't tested when a site was developed, that site has no way of knowing whether it is "mobile." Users may also change their User-Agent to work around content restrictions or access different media formats. And some sites make incorrect assumptions, like that all browsers with "Android" in their User-Agent string are based on WebKit.
Even when the browser is known, readers and publishers might not agree about whether the mobile or desktop version is better. Based on our feedback, some users want to switch from full sites to mobile sites while others want just the opposite. And some devices, like large touch-screen tablets, combine aspects of handheld and desktop computers.
Looking through these complaints, many people are under the mistaken impression that the browser, rather than the web site, decides whether to display mobile-formatted pages. Even the New York Times' David Pogue gets this wrong in his Galaxy Tab review:
When you visit sites like nytimes.com, CNBC.com and Amazon.com, the Galaxy's browser shows the stripped-down, mobile versions of those sites. According to Samsung, there's no way to turn that feature off and no way to visit the full-size sites. You can delete the little "m." in the Web address until you're blue in the browser, but the Galaxy always puts it right back.
Web developers: your readers are begging us to display your content in their preferred format. We want to help them, but we can't do it alone.
(I wrote an add-on called Phony that lets mobile Firefox impersonate the User-Agent strings of other browsers. While this improves the experience on some sites, it breaks it on others. Masquerading as another browser can lead sites to serve non-standard markup that do not work in Firefox.)
Because browser detection is never perfect, web sites should let readers choose between mobile and full content. They can try to guess the right version by default, but please let users opt in or out.
Best practices for web developers
Here are some first steps typical mobile web sites can take to make their readers happier:
When possible, serve the same content to all browsers. You can use stylesheets and scripts to customize your layout for different display sizes, as in this beautiful site by Jon Hicks.
There are valid reasons to use User-Agent sniffing. But if you must use it, test in as many browsers and devices as possible and learn the correct way to detect various browsers. For example, you can detect Gecko-based browsers by looking for
rv:, and you can detect mobile Firefox by looking for
If a "mobile" user requests a page that isn't available on your mobile site, serve the full version to them anyway, rather than redirecting them to an unrelated mobile landing page.
Let users switch from your mobile site to your full site and back. You may remember users' previous choices for convenience, but let them change their minds again.
Further reading
For much more comprehensive development advice, see Yiibu's thoughtful and practical approach to building sites that work across many different browsers and mobile devices.
Coming from a different perspective, Andrea Trasatti (developer of the device-detection library WURFL) talks about problems in mobile User-Agent strings and how they could be more useful for device detection.

The Church Ranch Target decided to join the "no street dates" club, as I got all 12 TPM Vintage figures there today. There had been another case, though some of the figures were missing (including Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan, Ben Quadinaros, and Darth Maul, since I got a second to keep carded).
Local Walmarts kept getting in wave 8 and 9 cases, but there were no signs of the three actual new figures from those waves. If anyone could stash those, or Seripas, then that would be awesome.

"Take your shoes off, ladies."
That's how the genial doorman greeted the group eagerly gathered on the front porch of the Gaillard-Bennett house at 60 Montagu for a tour to kick off Historic Charleston Foundation's Charleston International Antiques Show Young Advocates Soirée. This small request wasn't a nod to Japanese tradition, rather once inside a quick glimpse downward reminded me that restored heart pine floors and high heels don't mix.
But throughout the tour, most eyes were focused 12 feet overhead, where some of the most immaculate period plasterwork I've even seen embellished cornices and ceilings. In the front parlor, the fireplace mantel boasted a bas-relief plaster shell motif and the dining room has an equally impressive plasterwork design featuring grapevines and other agricultural themes. Throughout the house, the Stewarts, our gracious hosts, had spared no detail in commissioning plaster restorer Dave Hueske to return the interior to its original splendor. Mary Edna Sullivan, our guide who met us in the main hall, explained, "In just one room, over 7,000 individual pieces of plaster moulding had to be removed and restored."
Outside, we ran into the Stewarts, Mary Caroline and Steve. and Steve was generous enough to conduct us through the property's latest restoration project: the carriage house. Steve, whose professional background is in construction, explained that the structure is now actually two buildings in one: the original was so out of square and structurally compromised that it now encases a new structure that supports the original while easily accommodating modern electricity, plumbing, and heating and air.
Back outside, we saw Hunter and Maggie Brett Kennedy. As we chatted, a waiter cheerfully accommodated us while Maggie and Hunter, along with the aide of my wife, Elisabeth, and I, managed, to polish off a tray of some of the best spring rolls, provided by JBC Catering, that I've tasted in a long time—a promising start. We were soon joined by Susan Waring while her hubby, Charles, who was shooting for the Mercury, went to find a place to recharge his camera (oh, the occupational vagaries of journalism).
Joining the party inside the incredible gardens, we met up with Nancy Izlar Bryson who was chatting with Trevor Weston while enjoying the cool sounds of Leah Suarez jazz trio. I was delighted to learn that Trevor, a composer and CofC professor, was recently commissioned by a Virginia choir to write several choral works that the choir will perform during Evensong at Canterbury Cathedral while on its upcoming tour of England (Kudos, Trevor!)
Under the tent, we met up with Mitchell Crosby, Randall Felkel, and Barbara Heddinger. Mitchell wondered why I wasn't out in the country helping Cousin Randolph Stafford roast a whole hog for the South Carolina State Barbeque Championship. Well, Mitchell, a blogger's work is never done.
Aiken-Rhett House manage Liz Hurley and her fiancé, Andrew Skinner, looked especially radiant, and for good reason: they're hardly a month away from getting hitched.
We became new friends with Way Way and Robertson Allen, who seemed like old friends after we played six-degrees-of-separation and then wondered how we managed to never meet before. Then we ran into our neighbors Mimi van Wyck and husband Ham Morrison, who are always hilariously entertaining (name another man you know who has the self-assurance to wear a crown and ermine-trimmed cape for his wedding but who also races modified trucks).
All told, the night was a smashing success with perfect (if slightly chilly) weather for a cocktail party in this beautiful garden. A bit of very encouraging news: this is the second year in a row, since the Young Advocates Soirée moved from it's old digs in the Carolina Yacht Club parking lot last season, that the party has netted a profit that will help support the continued work of HCF. Perhaps the best thing about growing attendance and closing in the black, though, is that both are promising indicators that the future of HCF is in good hands.

In my area there is very little as far as grounds /water for training. and I am about 2 hours minimum from any events/clubs. Firehouse has given good advise on MO dog country. Plus the Missouri river is a major flyway for ducks. Lots of hunting public and private on that side of the sate,and not to far from the "golden triangle" for ducks.
The center of the state around Columbia is a nice area,nice town and basically somewhere in the middle of KC and St. Louis.

Academic Integrity
The History Department requires that students employ the best professional methods of research and documentation. Students should work closely with their professors and should be certain that they understand the proper research procedures for each assignment. Plagiarism, like copyright law and intellectual property law, is a subject of an ongoing intellectual and legal debate in our era of digital sampling, cuts and pastes, and filesharing. Wherever this debate might lead, it is clear that a student who submits work in a history course represents that work as his or her own. The University and the Department, therefore, treat plagiarism as a very serious offense.
Students should document all written work according to the The Chicago Manual of Style, using footnotes or endnotes (not parenthetical references). History majors should consider purchasing a recent edition of A Manual for Writers of Research Papers, Theses, or Dissertations, edited by Kate Turabian, a short version of the Manual. All students should consult the Departmental guide to the Chicago style, below, which downloads as a pdf file.

Carl Tanner -- From trucker, to tracker, to world-class tenorNovember 12, 2013 11:57 PM
He curses like a sailor and sings like a virtuoso. He speaks with a slightly gruff timbre that disappears on stage. Michael Keaton is planning to make a movie about his life, but that's hardly the most interesting thing about Carl Tanner.
That would be the story of how Mr. Tanner, 51, went from poor Virginia boy to truck driver and bounty hunter and, finally, Met-quality opera singer. Last month, he made his Pittsburgh Opera debut as Radames in "Aida."
At times, his story sounds like a plotline from the television show "Glee." When Mr. Tanner was attending Washington-Lee High School in Arlington, Va., he was a star wrestler and football player. Upon hearing him sing in the shower, a neighbor encouraged him to try out for the choir. At first, Mr. Tanner wasn't interested -- he said he thought guys in the chorus were "sissies" -- until the friend told him how much Luciano Pavarotti made.
Carl Tanner sings 'Celeste Aida' aria
Carl Tanner, a former bounty hunter and truck driver who now is an acclaimed opera singer, is shown here in performance with Pittsburgh Opera. (YouTube video; 11/13/2013)
For Mr. Tanner, money was an important consideration. His father left school in the sixth grade to work in a sawmill. He eventually became a painter for the government, retiring with an annual income of $23,000. His mother had been a detective for the Arlington County police. Mr. Tanner was the youngest of four boys.
After joining the chorus junior year, he took a few lessons from his choir teacher. Out of high school, he made plans to play right tackle at the University of Maryland. He attended for only a week, deciding he wasn't college material.
So he drove a florist van instead, picking up and delivering flowers around Washington, D.C. He enjoyed the independence of the job, spending his days listening to the radio. But he was ashamed to tell his friends what he was doing, so after driving for a few more months, he decided to try singing again.
Mr. Tanner auditioned at Shenandoah Conservatory in Winchester, Va. He knew only a few songs -- "O Holy Night," "Amazing Grace" and "Arm, Arm, Ye Brave" from Handel's "Judas Maccabaeus" -- but won over the audition committee nonetheless. He became the first in his family to graduate from a four-year college. His mother asked him what he wanted to do with his new diploma.
"I said, 'I think I'm gonna drive a truck' ... Even though I was a good singer, I didn't want it bad enough."
He got a commercial driver's license and drove a truck for a picture frame company for four years. During that time, a friend told him about a bounty hunter, an aging ex-Green Beret, looking for a partner. So began Mr. Tanner's two years both truck-driving and chasing people down, from Haitian drug kingpins to old ladies operating an illegal day care center to lawyers who wouldn't pay child support. During his first year, he made $80,000. He had never seen so much money in his life.
"It wasn't easy. I wrestled people to the ground. I got punched in the face," he said.
His stories go on and on. Sometimes, his dates don't quite make sense, but you don't want to interrupt him.
In one job, he hunted down a 16-year-old delinquent hiding out in a West Virginia cabin. When he approached from the front, the teenager started firing at him with a rifle. He and his partner eventually hog-tied him in their truck.
On the ride home, Mr. Tanner lectured the teen. "You can start your life over every day when you're 16," he told him.
Years later, at a 7-Eleven, Mr. Tanner saw the young man. He thanked him for helping him get his life in order and said he was now working at a nearby Honda dealership. And Mr. Tanner?
"I said, 'I'm an opera singer.' He said, 'You're [kidding] me, right?' "
Mr. Tanner gave up his bounty-hunting and truck-driving career not long after a man he was chasing was electrocuted by a power line right in front of him. "I saw him light up like a Christmas tree. Slowly, my mind healed after that.
"I've seen much worse in opera."
He moved to New York City to pursue a singing career, taking a job as a singing waiter. After singing an aria from Puccini's "Tosca," he was approached by Richard Gaddes of Santa Fe Opera, who recruited him to be an apprentice with the summer opera company.
The gig would launch his career. He was too old, and had too mature of a voice, to do traditional opera training programs. But the tenor signed with an agent, took the occasional gig and learned technique and repertoire. He earned roles on the regional circuit and then in larger companies, from New York City Opera to La Scala.
Before his in-house debut with the Metropolitan Opera in 2010, Mr. Keaton stumbled upon a New York Times article about Mr. Tanner. Mr. Keaton, a Pittsburgh native, contacted his agent and then Mr. Tanner to discuss the possibility of making a film based on the tenor's life. Like all budding Hollywood movies, its fate is unclear, and it's too soon to tell whether it will ever make it to theaters.
"I like Carl so much, and I thought his story was so great, and he's such a decent dude," said Mr. Keaton, who plans to direct and produce the film. "[The project] has already gone a little farther than a lot of other projects I'm working on."
Stan Chervin, who wrote "Moneyball," wrote the script for the latent movie, which Mr. Keaton said will be a comedy.
"It's not a quiet study. He was a bounty hunter," said Mr. Keaton.
"As long as it doesn't make me look dumb," said Mr. Tanner, a self-described "educated redneck." He enjoyed his time in Pittsburgh and is even considering moving here with his partner and 5 year-old son.
Having numbers of Mr. Keaton and other famous Hollywood types in his phone is a little bizarre for Mr. Tanner. Then again, it's just one in a long list of surprising things about him.
"At the end of the day, I'm a poor boy from Virginia, and I'm blessed. And that's it."

I just found the 2-disc GIJoe Original Mini-Series DVD at Wal-Mart, which isn't supposed to be released until Tuesday. (I love when that kinda thing happens to me. ) I picked it up, knowing nothing about it, but planning to check and see if it's a decent buy and return it if necessary. (Turns out after a very quick search on amazon.com, I paid $10 more than I should have and will definitely be taking the unopened one back in the next day or so.)
Here's my question: I've heard that season boxes will be released at some point in 2003. Is this a precursor, not to be included in the seasonal box set? (I honestly can't remember from twenty years ago if these mini-series were considered part of the first season or not.) Or is it a cheap stab at those of us who have been waiting for GIJoe DVD's for years, hoping to get us to buy them and kick ourselves when a Season One box comes out a few months later?

By Patsy R. Brumfield/NEMS Daily Journal
HOUSTON, Texas – James M. Davis, the back-slapping chief financial officer of the now-defunct Stanford Financial Group Co., faces the rest of his life Tuesday.
Davis, 64, will hear a federal judge pronounce sentence for his part in a two-decades Ponzi scheme, which cost Stanford investors more than $7 billion.
More than just worthless certificates of deposit, the investments embodied the dreams, life savings and retirement funds of some 20,000 people worldwide.
Last week, a court-appointed receiver said investors are likely to get an "initial" repayment of one cent on the dollar for what they lost when the Stanford empire came crashing down in early 2009.
Davis, who lived in Union County during his final years with Stanford, could get 30 years in prison.
His former boss is serving a 110-year sentence in a high-security facility in central Florida.
Four others were indicted with Stanford.
• Baldwyn native Laura Pendergest-Holt – the company's chief investment officer. She met Davis in the Sunday school class he taught with his wife, Lori.
Holt avoided trial, pleaded guilty to obstructing a federal investigation of Stanford and is serving a three-year sentence in Lexington, Ky.
• Mark Kuhrt and Gilbert Lopez – chief accounting and finance executives for the worldwide company. Last fall, a jury found them guilty of wire fraud, mail fraud and conspiracies to commit those crimes. They are due for sentencing Feb. 14.
• Leroy King – former chief regulator in Antigua, where Stanford operated his CD-selling bank. Antigua's High Court authorized King's extradition to the U.S., but local legal maneuvers have stalled his return for trial in Houston.
As for Davis, who was indicted separately from Stanford and the others, government prosecutors are expected to ask Judge David Hittner for leniency.
Davis was their most important witness against Stanford, Holt, Kuhrt and Lopez. He spent weeks on the witness stand in the two trials and repeatedly admitted his culpability and transgressions as he helped perpetrate the massive looting of investments to fund Stanford's playboy lifestyle and developments in the Caribbean.
Northeast Mississippi residents may remember a fit, energetic, well-groomed Davis, who presided over investor courtships from Stanford offices in Tupelo, Jackson and Memphis.
On the stand in Houston, Texas, during the 2012 trials, he appeared gaunt and worn, almost a shadow of his former self.
But his testimony was strong and credible.
And he insisted, sometimes under witheringly hot cross-examinations, that along with his personal and professional sins, he had lived and breathed to keep Stanford happy.
After just a few years on the job by 1991, Davis said, he knew they were lying about company finances.
Friday, Davis' legal counsel, David Finn, officially asked for leniency, saying prosecutors couldn't have known the whole story without Davis' almost instant cooperation once he knew he was in the legal cross hairs.
When Davis pleaded guilty in September 2010, he admitted that his crime supported a forfeiture of $1 billion. He promised to help the government secure the billions lost through the Ponzi scheme.
Just a week before Davis' sentencing, the court granted the government's request to forego any mandatory restitution by Davis to the thousands of investors, saying it was "impractical" and better handled through an ongoing receivership process in Dallas, Texas.
Davis admitted, in testifying against Stanford, that he had lost everything with the collapse of their financial schemes.

Details obviously make me weak in the knees, but what really makes me fall in love with a couple's big day are the simple nods to what weddings really are about. The love, the families, the little moments that make them memorable. So when a wedding like this one captured beautifully by Twin Hearts Photography lands in my lap, I feel like the luckiest lady around. See why here.
From the Bride… Chad and I wanted a simple wedding, centered on the things we love the most – our families and friends, good food, and being outside. We planned our wedding in about four months on a relatively modest budget, so we did a lot ourselves with the help of our families and friends. My bridesmaids helped me assemble our bouquets, boutonnières, and centerpieces (with flowers ordered in bulk from local vendors); my mom tailored the bridesmaids' dresses, sewed the burlap table runners, and built the wooden signs; and Chad's friends played the music for our ceremony and reception. Our sweetest memories are of saying our vows under the big old tree, sitting down with everybody we love to eat our family-style fried chicken dinner, and seeing everybody from my little sisters to grandparents dance their hearts out to folk and big band music.

There are those out there that would suggest that competition is bad… Everyone is a winner.. you must make everyone feel like they won the game.
I say HOG WASH!
Boys need to compete.. its what they do.
Competition breeds success and in life, success means everything.
Now lets define that.
Success may mean many things to many different people.
Success may mean a big house and a nice car, it may mean healthy children, it may mean having the ability to backpack across Europe or annual trips to High adventure bases.
Success may mean that you have a modest house, a happy family, strong faith, and valuable relationships.
So success comes in may shapes and sizes. It is up to the individual to define his success, but one thread that remains common to all is Competition. And competition makes us stronger, it makes up better sports, it challenges us to do better, it asks of us to "DO OUR BEST".
And it also makes for fun times.
This past weekend we went up to Camp Cooper and tried competition of a different sort.
We held our First Annual Champions of the Kamping Kulinary Kraft. We held a cook off.
Patrol v. Patrol in head to head cooking.
The 4 Patrols and the TLC all participated and let me tell you what I learned.
I learned that boys love to compete. In the four years that we have been a Troop I have never seen the boys get so serious about cooking.
They were judged in 4 areas.
1. Preparation. Menus, Keeping the cooking area clean, having menus and duty roster posted etc.
2. Presentation. How the meal looked.
4. Patrol dining. The Patrol had guests and they ate together.
They had to cook Breakfast on Coleman Camp stoves, Lunch using Backpacking stoves and techniques, and Dinner in Dutch ovens. All three meals were judged.
From french toast with gourmet bacon covered in whipped cream and strawberries to perhaps the best pork roast I have ever eaten, the Scouts did a fantastic job and had a blast doing it. They really poured their hearts, skills and minds into the competition and did their very best to win.
In the spirit of competition the patrols were helpful and worked together. When it came to recipes, they were safeguarded and kitchens were "Off Limits" to everyone except the judges.
(Boys rules). They broke out with garnishes on the plates and fancy home made noodles, they really did a nice job.
And at the end of the day.. there is only one winner of the competition, but they all win because they all tried, they all learned, they all developed, and they all know what they need to do better next time.
I do not understand why some folks are dead set against competition, why they think little Johnny's feeling might get hurt and he will be scared for life. To folks that think that way I am afraid they are setting their kid up to fail.
You do not have to be cut throat to compete. Competition at the heart of it is healthy and drives us to be better. Why is that wrong? In the game of life that is how it is. Why not prepare these young men now for what lay ahead? Are we not here to Develop Character, Citizenship, and physical fitness? Are we not here to teach these Scouts to make ethical decisions? Are we not here to turn these young men into good men?
The Boy Scouts of America encourages Competition. "Patrols will sometimes join with other patrols to learn skills and complete advancement requirements. At other times they will compete against those same patrols in Scout skills and athletic competitions." (the Patrol method from the BSA Website) We have inter patrol competitions at meetings and we compete against other Troops and Patrols at Camporee. Competition is healthy, it has been a part of Scouting for almost 100 years and will continue to be a strong part of the Scouting program.
So HOG WASH to those that dislike the competitive edge. I know after this weekend, I love it.. and that amazing pork roast too.
Happy Scouting!

Today is Scout Sunday.. yes there is also a big Football Game on today.. but before kick off.. just remember that a Scout is Reverent.
"And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength. This is the first commandment."(Mark 12:30)
A Scout is reverent, he is reverent toward God. He is faithful in his religious duties and respects the convictions of others in matters of custom and religion.
Have a Great Scouting Day!

You have to wonder how far this Democratic ruse will go. It definitely shows the power of the main stream press. Since Obama is their chosen messiah...after all they are almost 100% leftists, there isn't ANY investigation happening into these scandals. And now that CBS has gotten to the only reporter that was honest enough to throw some light on a couple of these scandals, and assigned her elsewhere, it's being left up to a few in Congress to ferret out the corruption of this regime. Sadly, they seem to be spinning their wheels.
Can anyone honestly refute that the uproar would be deafening if we had a Republican administration pulling these shenanigans? For the sake of your kids, this oligarchy must be halted in 2014, or there won't be an America as we knew it, for them to survive in.
From the Daily Events conservative letter:
The IRS scandal is still growing. House Oversight chairman Darrell Issa has begun investigating the Federal Election Commission about "the prospect of inappropriate coordination between the IRS and the FEC about tax-exempt entities."
Key IRS scandal figure Lois Lerner used to work for the FEC, where she was the subject of complaints disturbingly similar to the abuse-of-power scandal that would consume the IRS. It's hard to escape the conclusion that she was brought over to the IRS because of her experience at using political power to crack down on enemies of the ruling party.
She apparently still has a great working relationship with her old FEC colleagues, because when they made an inappropriate - in fact, illegal - request for confidential IRS data about a conservative group, Lerner responded in nine minutes flat.
We've also learned that the IRS persecution of Tea Party groups never actually stopped. Three months into a scandal that calls the legitimacy of the 2012 election, and of the federal government itself, into serious question, IRS agents are still following the old protocols. They were officially rescinded, according to testimony from the new IRS commissioner to Congress... but new procedures were never put into place, so the agents of the Tax Exempt Organization division are still subjecting conservative groups to extra scrutiny. That's not the fault of the low-level IRS employees... but then again, none of this ever was, contrary to the Administration's frantic damage-control efforts.

Letter of the Week: Children honor vets
Published: Sunday, November 11, 2012 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, November 10, 2012 at 1:03 a.m.
I wish to thank Hidden Oak Elementary School for the special Veterans Day Celebration held Nov. 8, the Thursday before homecoming.
The program included so many avenues of awareness for history, our soldiers and their families. It was designed to really hit home with videos, songs and even T-shirts worn by students on the bleachers to represent the American flag!
The Presentation of Colors by Buchholz ROTC, the recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance and hearing everyone sing the "Star Spangled Banner" really touched everyone's heart. It was fitting that this celebration was held just after Election Day!
Veterans and their relatives were honored with reserved seating. The videos included the words to each picture to capture the moment. I could see as I looked down the rows of veterans, that it hit home and brought back memories.
After the presentation in the auditorium, veterans and their families were invited to the fourth-grade students for a special token of appreciation and a certificate to express gratitude. For some, this may have been the only show of appreciation since they served their country so honorably. A question and answer session was also carried out by the teachers and students.
Thank you, Principal Knowles, for carrying on this tradition. My husband and I have attended these celebrations since Hidden Oak opened its doors! We have gone from seeing our own children celebrate to our grandchildren.
One child asked "why are some of the veterans crying?"
My husband, a Marine veteran, replied, "Those are tears of joy to have made it home and remembrance for those who did not."
Lynn Rousseau,

Sculpture Garden
The Sculpture Garden at Recology San Francisco is, to our knowledge, the only existing park of its kind at a garbage company. This private, three-acre facility contains more than thirty-five sculptures made by former artists-in-residence, with new pieces added each year. All tours of the company include a visit to the garden. Please see the tour information below for details.
In 1992 under the direction and design of Susan Leibovitz Steinman, Recology San Francisco built the sculpture garden on a hill overlooking San Francisco Bay. The land functions as a buffer between the transfer station and the adjacent residential neighborhood known as Little Hollywood, and was previously a field of ivy and ice plant. In 1994, the garden was dedicated to the memory of Joseph Johnson, former director of the Solid Waste Management Program of the City & County of San Francisco. Joe was also an artist and an important advocate for the formation of the Artist in Residence Program.
The garden path is made from ground concrete salvaged from the Embarcadero Freeway when it was damaged in the 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake. Bricks that line the path came from a building on Mission Street, and many of the plants in the garden were rescued from the garbage and brought back to life using Recology compost.
Art in the Garden
The garden contains more than thirty-five sculptures, some of which are represented below.
Wild Apples for Jo
An experiment in biodiversity, Wild Apples for Jo is a bed of apple trees grown from seed. The garden installation is dedicated to the memory of Artist in Residence Program founder Jo Hanson and created by Susan Leibovitz Steinman. The installation includes five trees growing in a star shape, mimicking seeds inside an apple. The trees were planted in large oval troughs filled with rose quartz and native grasses, surrounded by five antique French doors rescued from a South San Francisco hotel. Wild Apples for Jo was inspired by Sweet Survival-Urban Apple Orchard II at the Sonoma County Museum in 2006-2008. The original Urban Apple Orchard I was commissioned by the San Francisco Arts Commission in 1994-1995 and sited on Market Street. It was located just a few blocks from Jo's house, and was a favorite destination for her. This is our memorial to Jo Hanson--to her life, her work, and her spirit.
Program tours occur on the third Saturday and fourth Wednesday of each month. Both tours include an overview of the company and recycling operations in San Francisco and a visit to the art studio and sculpture garden.
The third Saturday tour is geared toward adults interested in the Artist in Residence Program, especially those who intend on applying for an artist residency. This tour does not include a visit to Recycle Central at Pier 96.
The focus of the fourth Wednesday tour is on recycling and includes a visit to Recycle Central at Pier 96.
These tours are held at industrial recycling sites and present challenging conditions.
- Tours are physically strenuous and include up to three long flights of stairs and walking on uneven surfaces and hills.
- Certain areas of the facility may be extremely slippery.
- Tours involve loud noises, strong smells and dust. People sensitive to loud noises, smells and dust may want to refrain from attending.
- Attendees must wear closed-toe, comfortable walking shoes (no sandals).
- For safety reasons, tours are not appropriate for children under nine years of age.
- Tours are not held if it is raining.
- Tours take approximately two hours to complete; visitors must be able to complete the entire tour.
To make a reservation, please call (415) 330-9943.
Field trips for the San Francisco Unified School District are scheduled through the San Francisco Department of the Environment at (415) 355-3700.
