Is the United States spending enough money on defense, and is it spending it in the right ways? In the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the money spigot was turned wide-open, pouring hundreds of billions of dollars into the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and expanding the armed forces. Now that's changing, and an [...]

Rick Perry's brain freeze during the GOP presidential debates underscores three important points: First, if he can't remember the Department of Energy, he's right, we probably don't need it. Second, momentary memory loss can happen to anyone, at any age and regardless of how well you've prepared your presentation. For starters, let's stop using the [...]

Read what other Viator.com travelers think about the Florence Airport Private Arrival Transfer. What they loved, what they liked and what they think could be improved, it's all here to help you make the most of your next trip.
Click here for tour details, schedule and pricing
Could not ask for better service
Our airport pickup was stress free and our driver was very professional. We didn't have to wait and our driver highlighted different places to eat and see on the way to our hotel. This was definitely worth it!
The driver was right there waiting for us which we needed after our long flight from the United States. He helped with our luggage and pointed out sites along the way to our apartment rental. When we got to the apartment the rental agent wasn't there yet and he made phone calls for us to speak Italian, which I didn't know how, so that was greatly appreciated. Our driver really took care of us over and above just a ride from the airport!!!
Great service, the driver was great and helped us out. Would use this again.
Very easy to book and our contact person was right there when we arrived at Florence airport. Would use again.
Changed our pickup time and they accomidated us with no problem. About 25 minuted from tourist attractions to airport. Pick up was in a brand new Mercedes.
Antonio F
Perfect. Will use them again and again.
Great way to go after a long flight and just want to get to the hotel. Our driver spoke excellent english and was giving us a mini tour guide to the hotel. Would recommend!!!
Alanna H
Driver was waiting for us with a large van. Very courteous.
Exactly what we wanted
Margaret R
Absolutely worth using this company-the driver was polite, on time and helpful. Money well spent especially after a long journey.
Great! On time with my name on sign. Waited patiently while I exchanged money, lifted bags and very couteous!

"If you like the R10 you won't be happy with the R15"
0.5 starson by ncrdavePros: They're free when you pay the shipping from DirecTV - That should be your first clue
Cons: Awful user interface
Summary: I've had a DirecTV R10 for about a year and it has changed the way I watch TV. It's great! I liked it so well, I wanted to change one of my other DirecTV boxes to an R10. I called DirecTV and found that they no longer offer the R10 but have the R15 to replace it with more recording time. I started looking at reviews and couldn't even find one positive review for the R15. Several said to get a used R10 if you could find one. I did find them on eBay for a pretty good price. I got one that works fine, but tried to buy 2 more and found that DirecTV obviously doesn't want to make it easy. If you want to buy a used R10, get the Receiver ID, the serial number, and the access card number and call DirecTV with this information to see if they will even issue an access card for it before you buy it. One was associated with an account that owed DirecTV money and they would not issue a new card. Another one, they said was aleady active on another account and wouldn't even tell me if they would activate it until I got the serial number for them. If you buy one on eBay, be sure to get those numbers, and check with DirecTV before buying.
In my talks with DirecTV they convinced me to try an R15 (hey it was almost free!). They came and hooked it up about 10 days ago. Before the installer left, the R15 was already acting up. Over the next day or two it continually would go to a blue screen and start it's 5 minute reloading proceedure. I called DirecTV and told them about it. They said that was a known issue and would replace it. They did and I have the new one which seems to work without reloading constantly, BUT... If you never tried an R10 you might be "satisfied" with the R15. But, if you have used the R10, I guarantee you won't like the R15! There is no slow motion forward. There is no way to rewind to the beginning or any other point easily and quickly. You would think it was a VCR rewinding tape to get back. The buttons on the remote seem to not work well. You press a button once and it acts like you pressed it twice. Fast forward through commercials becomes a chore when you try to stop just after them. Bottom line here - get an R10. I'm going to get another one and let DirecTV have their R15 back. If you have to have more recording time, there are upgraded R10s available with large hard drives. These seem quite pricey - I would guess that's because they work!

Building up believers into the fullness of Christ must always be grounded in who he is as much as what he has accomplished for us.
Click on the order button below to download this Christianity Today Bible Study as a PDF file.
Also, be sure to see our studies based on Christianity Today articles.
Overview Scholar Philip Harrold has noticed a problem in our evangelical churches—that too many of us don't know what we say we believe. And Harrold is far from the only one. "Twelve years ago, New Testament professor Gary Burge reported the results of a survey given to students at Wheaton College, the premier evangelical higher education institution. He found that one-third of the students tested could not put the following in sequential order: Abraham, the Old Testament prophets, the death of Christ, and Pentecost. One-third could not identify the book of Acts as the location of Paul's missionary travels; half did not know that the Christmas story was in Matthew." And the news gets worse: "Many studies since have only confirmed these findings." In addition, numerous studies have suggested that we are losing our youth. How did we come to such a pass, and what's the solution? Harrold says we must dust off an old word—catechesis—and freshen it up with some new meaning.
Table of Contents SCRIPTURE: Mark 8:31–38; John 15:26–27; 2 Corinthians 3:7–18; Galatians 6:1–10; Ephesians 1:15–22; 2 Timothy 2:1–2; 1 John 5:1–11 LEADER'S GUIDE Identify the Current Issue Discover the Eternal Principles
Teaching point one: The message of Christ is communicated first and foremost in personal relation to Christ.
Teaching point two: It takes a church.
Teaching point three: Catechesis requires a response of self-awareness and self-denial.

Teaching point five: You must be born-again.

Teaching point seven: Intake (reception) of the Truth leads to out-take (witness).

Washington Nationals players to wed in offseason
September 26, 2012 - 06:11 am
As the Washington Nationals inch closer to winning a division title, several players are inching closer to a title of a different kind.
According to the Washington Post, seven Nationals players - Michael Morse, Ross Detwiler, Craig Stammen, Jordan Zimmermann, Ryan Zimmerman, Edwin Jackson and Corey Brown – will gain the "husband" title once the playoff run comes to an end. The seven players are reportedly planning to wed very soon.
"A lot of us, we've been on this team together for a while now, our girlfriends and fiancées are friends, so maybe it's like a domino effect. Who knows," Michael Morse told the Post

DUI Pre-Trial Motions Lawyers
What Are DUI Pre-Trial Motions?
Pre-trial motions are tools used by the government and defense attorneys in an effort to set the boundaries for trial. These motions help the judge decide what physical evidence and testimony can be used and what legal arguments can and cannot be made at trial. Finally, they help the judge decide if there is any reason the defendant should not stand trial.
When Do DUI Pre-Trial Motions Occur?
Pre-trial DUI motions occur after the preliminary hearing, but before a criminal case goes to trial.
What Typical Arguments Are Made during Pre-Trial Motions?
In a DUI case there may be many motions made, but the primary arguments are as follows:
- Many defense lawyers will request that certain DUI related evidence should be excluded on the basis that the evidence found was tainted by an illegal search
- Many defense lawyers will request that a confession made in regard to the DUI arrest by a defendant at the scene or afterwards should be excluded on the basis that the police failed to advise the suspect of his Miranda rights
- A defense lawyer can argue that a Breathalyzer test result should be excluded, because the testing actions and procedure used by the arresting officer was clearly flawed

Chili Chops Recipe
"I often accompany this dish with mashed potatoes and serve the chili sauce as gravy," writes Nicole Svacina from St. Nazianz, Wisconsin. "This meal is easy to make after a long day. In the summer, I cook it in the microwave to keep the kitchen cool."
- 4 bone-in pork loin chops (1/2 inch thick and 6 ounces each)
- 4 slices onion (1/4 inch thick)
- 4 slices green pepper (1/4 inch thick)
- 1 bottle (12 ounces) chili sauce
- Place the pork chops in a greased 9-in. square baking dish. Top with the onion, green pepper and chili sauce. Cover and bake at 350° for 20-30 minutes or until meat juices run clear. Yield: 4 servings.

Meets all of my requirements for a recipe if I am to make it again: easy, inexpensive, and excellent taste. The pork chops come out extra tender if you add a touch of vinegar in with the chili sauce such as apple cider vinegar or red wine vinegar. I've made this dish numerous times for family dinner and never receive a complaint.

Sexism: Slut Shaming and Concern Trolling in Geek Culture – "The discomfort came from a constant stream of microaggressions. A constant flow of women leaning in and stage whispering in mock-concern about how short my skirt was. A constant flow of men grilling me about whether I had watched the series, and trying to trip me up on trivia." Rape Survivor Sues over "False" Accusation – One more example of our society's eagerness to see women as liars, making up false accusations of rape. The police refused to believe D.M. had been raped, despite physical evidence, and instead ended up charging her with filing a false claim. Her rapist was arrested three years later. Kickstarting/Fundraising: Launch Pad Astronomy Workshop for Science Fiction Authors – I've wanted to attend this for a while, and haven't gotten to it. Sadly, Launch Pad has lost their NASA and NSF funding, so they're looking to raise the money to continue the program. A Knight in the Silk Purse: Tales of the Emerald Serpent 2 – Volume two of a shared-world anthology that includes folks like Julie Czerneda, Howard Tayler, Lynn Flewelling, Martha Wells, and many more. Clarion Write-a-thon: The Clarion SF/F writing workshop is looking for authors to join their write-a-thon. Miscellaneous Awesomeness: N. K. Jemisin's Continuum Guest of Honor Speech – As next year's GoH, I have one year to prepare a speech that lives up to the one Jemisin gave this year. I…don't think that's going to be enough time. Delia's Shadow ARC Contest – Author Jaime Lee Moyer is giving away ARCs of her book Delia's Shadow [Amazon | B&N | Mysterious Galaxy]. I gave a blurb for this one: "Moyer creates a hauntingly real San Francisco, full of characters you can't wait to get to know better. Except for the killer, of course. He's just disturbing as heck. Delia's Shadow is an engaging debut novel, one that cost me a good night's sleep." April is Autism Awareness month–or perhaps Autism Acceptance Month is the better approach. As it happens, I'm working on a short story with an autistic protagonist. I also have an autistic son, as some of you know. Between the additional posts & discussion, research for the story, and my own ongoing personal efforts to expand my understanding, I've been doing a lot of autism-related reading lately.

Returning to a Review; Not a Spoiler Warning: After reading my review of The Dragon Slayer's Handbook, author Merrie Haskell blogged about why she chose to write a heroine with a clubfoot, and why Tilda does not get magically healed at the end of the book. The World SF Travel Fund: This project was started in 2011 with the goal of helping one or two international persons to get to a major SF/F event. As of this morning, they've met their $3000 goal, which funds the project for the next two years. But there's 10 days left, and wouldn't it be awesome to see it hit at least $4500 and provide them with a bonus year? The rewards are great, too. Donate $10, and you'll get the e-books of the Apex Book of World SF, volumes 1 and 2. Con or Bust Auction Begins Saturday, February 9: "Con or Bust helps people of color/non-white people attend SFF conventions." You can read more about the founding and history of the project on their About us page. Items up for auction includes books, critiques, Green Tea Yoda Oreo cookies, and much more. Weregeek, a web comic, talked about the Hawkeye Initiative yesterday and suggested that someone should do something similar for fantasy RPG art. Hm… What do you think of John Scalzi's new tattoo? Okay, so maybe I Photoshopped it. For background and better picture of Gamma Rabbit, see John's post here. I'm impressed and amazed at how effectively he's taken a rather irksome annoyance and transformed it into a fundraiser which has drawn international attention and brought in more than $50,000 in pledges for causes such as RAINN, NAACP, Emily's List, and Human Rights Campaign. Think we can convince him to get the tattoo for real if the pledges hit $100K? Some friends of mine are Kickstarting Glitter & Madness: The Speculative Nightclub Anthology, a collection to be filled with "Roller Derby, nightclubs, glam aliens, (literal) party monsters, drugs, sex, glitter, debauchery" and more. If they meet their fundraising goal, you'll get stories from Amal El-Mohtar, Diana Rowland, Sofia Samatar, Tim Pratt, and many more. Including a 16,000 word InCryptid novella from Seanan McGuire! Finally, Darth Maul would like you to know that he is awesome. (I've had this stuck in my head ever since we watched the whole LEGO Star Wars "Empire Strikes Out" show over the weekend.) 1. I'll be at the Westland Public Library tomorrow as part of their Local Authors Fair. At 11:00, I'm giving a presentation on "Publishing with the Big Wigs." Details here. 2. Raechel Henderson has been reviving Eggplant Literary Productions. Raechel was one of the first editors to buy my stuff, so I'm excited to see this. She's doing a kickstarter for Spellbound, a children's fantasy magazine. A pledge of $5 earns an electronic sampler that includes my story "Like Father, Like Daughter," a sequel to my Writers of the Future tale "Blade of the Bunny." 3. Whedon and the Avengers Cast discuss the need for more women on the team. Thank you calico-reaction for the link. I particularly appreciate Johansson's comments here. 4. Bechdel: Not Actually a Test. An essay by Rawles Marie Lumumba that nicely articulates some strengths and limitations of the Bechdel Test. The Fundraiser for Rape Crisis Centers raised more than $500 in the first 24 hours, which is wonderful! Our next goal is $750, at which point a book by Anton Strout gets added to the prizes. Thank you to everyone who's donated and spread the word so far! # I'll be doing a Reddit AMA (Ask Me Anything) tomorrow, April 13, starting at 7:00 p.m. CST. Having read some of the AMAs they've done with other authors, I expect this to be fun. # ARCs of Libriomancer have been spotted in the wild! Cranking up the authorial anxiety in 3…2…1… # A blog post by author Adrienne Kress: How to Write Female Characters (or as I like to call them, Characters). # Finally, because I haven't done anything LEGO in a while, have a LEGO Game Boy. That's also a Transformer. With a LEGO Tetris cartridge. That transforms into a bird, Laserbeak-style. Oh, just click the pic and check it out! This was built by Baron von Brunk. My son has been sick this week, so it's all been a bit of a blur of schedule-juggling and trying to keep him quiet and resting (because when the medicine kicks in, he feels better, so he promptly runs around … which stirs up the asthma/congestion nastiness). On the upside, I've now watched approximately six trillion episodes of the Wild Kratts, and can tell you how an owl's fringed feathers allow it to swoop down silently, or how the basilisk lizard's toes are fringed to help it run across water. Yeah, fringe is in these days. So anyway, all I've got this morning are some links. Patrick Stewart talks about growing up with an abusive father and the dangers of slashing support to domestic violence shelters and services. "My mother had no escape route. There were no refuges she could run to; no helplines to call; no advocates to speak out for her. No one came to help, even though everyone knew what was happening behind our closed doors. The small houses in our road were close together, and every Monday morning I walked to school with a bowed head, praying that I wouldn't run into a neighbour who had heard the weekend's rows." China Mieville on racism and what is and isn't "censorship." "Indeed, an astoundingly small proportion of arguments 'for free speech' & 'against censorship' or 'banning' are, in fact, about free speech, censorship or banning. It is depressing to have to point out, yet again, that there is a distinction between having the legal right to say something & having the moral right not to be held accountable for what you say." Finally, a collection of LEGO optical illusions, by Brixe63. I chatted with my editor a week or two back, and I'm hoping to get the final draft of Libriomancer finished today … which means all you get in the blog are a pair of links and some LEGO niftiness. Link the First: Today is the last day of Pat Rothfuss' Worldbuilders fundraiser, which has raised more than a quarter of a million dollars this year. The list of signed books and other prizes is like Santa smashed open the pinata of fandom, and an endless waterfall of awesomeness began pouring out. Link the Second: The Con or Bust auction, which helps fans of color/non-white fans attend SFF conventions, begins on February 11 at 12:01 EST. Details here. Finally, I present to you the U. S. S. Reliant, in LEGO. (In the Mutara nebula, no less!) The only thing that could make this better would be a minifig of Ricardo Montalban holding a cute little plastic Ceti eel. This was built by Christer Nyberg, aka Myko. Click here or on the pic for the full photo set. We're back! Got home late last night, and began working through the backlog of e-mail and comments. It looks like folks enjoyed my trio of guest bloggers. Of course, the problem with bringing three very smart people in to do those posts is that now they've gone and raised the bar, and I'm gonna have to add at least 50% more cleverness to my own posts. But not today. Today is my catch-up day, including some of the links that went by last week…
I was supposed to have a guest post for Fantasy Matters, but I blew it. I'm still annoyed with myself about that one. I hate, hate, hate missing deadlines, and I love the FM folks. They invited me to be a guest back when they were an academic fantasy convention. That's when I first got to meet Pat Rothfuss and Nnedi Okorafor and lots of other cool people. Oh, and I'm also on Google+ now, talking about things like lightsaber-wielding dinosaurs. As one does. I'll probably do a Snow Queen's Shadow discussion post this week. Any preference as to what day? I think that's all for now. Normal blogging service shall resume soon. Hope everyone's having a great weekend! I've got several authors who've agreed to write First Book Friday pieces for me, but none of them are ready yet, so today you get random link sausage instead.
A few links for your Saturday morning… Cat Valente on e-book pricing. C. E. Petit on the Google Books Settlement. A Dreamwidth post which talks about the politics behind the DDoS attacks on LiveJournal (via Sherwood Smith). Tobias Buckell on his first year of selling his e-published short fiction collection Tides from New Worlds. (Lots of data and graphs here.) Why your Self-Publishing Service Probably Didn't Cheat You, from Writer Beware. And finally, Jim C. Hines' Fundraiser for Rape Crisis Centers, which has raised more than $700 so far. If we pass $1000, I'll pick one winner and give him/her a cameo in Libriomancer. |

It seems like you installed OSX in a logical partition. Chameleon can not boot to a logical unit, only PRIMARY partition.
Since you have 2 hard drives, it would be easier if you could install OSX onto separate hard drive from your other os.
If you need help with multiple boot setup, or repair your windows, then take a look at the dual booting section.
If you still want to install OSX onto the same partition then you would need to make it a primary partition for Chameleon to boot to.

Egypt: Is the Runoff Election On or Off?
Produced by:
With a presidential runoff election scheduled for this weekend, Egypt's elected parliament was dissolved today. The remnants of Hosni Mubarak's military regime have also declared martial law. Will what's been hailed as a peaceful revolution be replaced by democracy—or a return to the past? Also, is Spain on the brink? On Reporter's Notebook, the President and Mitt Romney stage dueling events —simultaneously--in the swing state of Ohio.

Luck Duck Pedals 8-bit Duck, WMD Fatman, etched CopilotFX Cubic New thread to clean up sold stuff and add more. Prices include shipping in Canada/USA. All are in excellent or better condition with velcro on the bottom. WMD Fatman - $160 Includes original green enclosure and etched box. |
I've always been curious about the 8-but duck. How close can it get to those super Nintendo sounds. |
I think if you add a gated fuzz in front it would be perfect for those sounds! |
Hey Jeff, I know you've owned the Malekko Bit as well. How does this compare to it? Differences? I'm VERY interested. |
Differences: more ring mod-ish but still definitely a SRR based sound, no output level issues as it has a volume knob. The frequency range is a bit narrower, but between the two switch settings it's still quite variable. |
Very interested in the duck. How does it compare to the bugcrusher? |
See my comments above. IMO the Malekko Bit sounded very close to the bugcrusher but was noisier and had low volume issues. The 8-bit duck is a little less filtered/more ring mod like in nature, but sounds very good. Features and build quality are perfect. |
Another thing that came up regarding the 8-bit Duck since my asking price is higher than a new (stock) one: I asked Luke to do some custom options for me including top jacks and more notably the clean blend. That added to the cost which is why my asking price is higher than the cost of a basic one new. The clean blend is particularly useful for bass on this type of effect I find. |
Any trade interests on the Fatman? J! |
Not too many things I am looking for but feel free to run it by me... |
Proton? |
bump |
Ill take the CopilotFX Cubic |
The Fatman is all that remains here! Price drop as a result. |

I felt a little bad, but unsurprised, by the fact that she thought it was just a costume. Did she also think that maybe he was a foreigner who just spoke bad English too? =P Still funny when even Warlock gets more play than Bobby. That's an all new low for our sloppy seconds loving solar powered strong man.
Would love to see Warlock's reaction to first time with a human female: "Self is king of the world!"
Dude, I think that women would LOVE Warlock. He can change shape to look like anybody he wants and doesn't require D batteries in the bedroom.
it just hit me that dani is hooking up with the bosses son
Guess she's really bucking for future leader of the X-Men then. (Notice how they totally dropped that Zeb Wells plot, btw?)

Didn't Scott just recently offer a place to Nate on Utopia so he could get to know family? Pretty sure a scene like that happened recently. Either way, Scott's in no position to play daddy to anybody right now. He's pretty far off his rocker. And when he IS totally sane, he's kind of a mediocre dad. I mean, he left Madelyne and baby Cable the moment he heard Jean was alive. He's not going to win father of the year that way. Rachel kinda got the cold shoulder from Scott and Jean for a while too. Nate's in good company. The only way Scott could be a worse dad is if he renamed himself Magneto.

Product Type: Clinique makeup
Newest Review: ... the other. Gives a great effect and great for spreading the lashes apart. I love the Clinique range and also bought a different mascara to ... more
Ditch the eyelash curlers!
Clinique High Impact Curling Mascara
Member Name: herumi
Clinique High Impact Curling Mascara
Date: 21/07/10
Advantages: Even, thorough coverage without stickiness, excellent brush, curls lashes for a dramatic effect
Disadvantages: Dramatic effect won't appeal to everyone
It certainly sounded good; the Clinique website states that this mascara will 'coax lashes to a long, bold, upturned look, without a pinch, pull or tug. Smudge, flake, smear-resistant formula holds for up to 24 eye-opening hours.' The mascara is suitable for contact lens wearers- I'm not sure if this is the case with most mascaras or not.
This mascara comes in a silver tube, with a standard screw on cap and is available in black and black/brown (the mascara I received was black). Unlike the standard 'High Impact Mascara', this tube has a curved brush, and I was interested to see how this would affect the appearance of the mascara on my eyelashes. I tend to shy away from curved brushes like this, as I've found it harder to apply mascara evenly with them in the past. The good thing about this brush was that it looked thick and soft, with a generous covering of bristles (that makes it sound very prickly, but I can assure you it's not!).
Applying the mascara was really easy- the curved brush meant that I could cover the lashes all the way along the eyelid in one sweep. The thickness of the brush meant that it picked up quite a lot of mascara, but I was very surprised by how evenly it deposited it- the only slight clumping came from the end of the brush, where the mascara had gathered, and even this was quickly dispersed by another sweep. My eyelashes weren't stuck together, but were individually defined, and didn't need separating with an eyelash comb. I attribute this both to the brush and the quality of the mascara- it's thin consistency means that it glides over the lashes, highlighting them to their very tips without any of the stickiness that you get from thicker mascaras. The only slight problem with the mascara's consistency is that it makes the lashes quite stiff when it dries. In some ways this is a good thing- the lashes retain their shape well for a good few hours after application. But the stiffness also means that applying a second coat once they've dried makes them look quite thick and spidery, as it just doesn't blend in to the first coat.
On the curling front, I hadn't expected much- surely a mascara couldn't make that much difference to the shape of my eyelashes? Well, here again I was pleasantly surprised. A quick sweep of this brush and my eyelashes were left with an upturned, doll-like look which was similar to that which I get after using eyelash curlers. The curved brush helped to lift them, and the mascara highlighted this effect by bringing out the full length of the individual lashes. So using just a little of this gave the same results as you'd expect from using several coats of ordinary mascara, but without the heavily painted look. This is great if you're short on time- just whip a bit of this on and you've got the dramatic, open-eyed look that would normally take a while to achieve.
Personally, I'm not too keen on the doll look- I prefer something a bit more subtle and natural for everyday use, so this probably wouldn't be my mascara of choice unless I was going for a dramatic look. But I was very impressed by the fact that this mascara lived up to its claims and really did deliver the results it promised- upturned lashes that keep their look for hours on end. The quality of the product shone through, and I'm now fully convinced that mascara is one of those products that it's worth spending a bit more on. The fact that you only need one coat of this to get great results means that it lasts longer than most mascaras too; my half tube is still nowhere near finished after several months of use. Having used this product (and the standard Clinique High Impact Mascara), I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the brand to my friends, and will certainly be choosing it next time I'm mascara shopping. Clinique, doling out the freebies has paid off- you've won me over!
Summary: A mascara that lives up to its name.

Family Info
: In the early 1900�s Calvin and Eliza Jones and their 9 children migrated from Gainesville, Texas to what was then Indian Territory Oklahoma. They came there by rail with all of their children and their meager belongings crammed into a single rail car. The Batson lineage extends from the union of one of their sons, Willie �Buster� Jones, to Margie Batson.
As told by Thomas Bailey Jones to his grandchildren, Wanda and Curtis, Jr., his grandparents were originally slaves in North and South Carolina. They were taken to Texas by their owners who thought Texas would never be a free state. And as we know, Texas was the last state to free slaves giving rise to the black Texans celebrating June 19th (Juneteenth) as the day of Emancipation. What a wealth of history has passed all of us by our parents and fore parents. Yet we are grateful most for one thing, they passed on to us their belief in God.
In memory of and tribute to those of our ancestors who were kings, queens, princes, and princesses in our mother land to those who were slaves in this land, we know for sure that it was through their labors and sorrows, defeats and triumphs that the bridge was built which carries us to better days. Now their grandchildren�s children�s children will reap the benefits of their beginnings. And their unfaltering, unwavering trust, belief and faith in God, their ceaseless prayers prove that a better day was just beyond the horizon.
That day has arrived when the fruit of seeds sown by slaves sit in positions of leadership in every aspect of our society. From the plow to the pulpit, from the whip to the bar association, from mid-wife to physician, from the kitchen to the computer, from sharecropper to property developer, from the cotton field to top ranks in the military field, from illiteracy to teachers and deans of education, from ditch diggers to builders, from back doors to bankers, from mule wagons to Mercedes and on and on to only God knows where. But one thing we do know, we started years before in the name of Jesus and we are going through. And with all His blessings we are yet a humble, proud, trusting, believing and praying people knowing there is another blessing awaiting us on the other side of glory.
�Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing.� II Timothy 4:8
Thank God, family for all His benefits to us. Let our hearts and souls sing and rejoice, �Oh, my God. How great Thou art.�
"A Family is a living thing much like a garden. Effort must be made to understand it. Care must be given in tending it. Then it grows lush and provides nourishment for both the body and the soul." ~~ Maya Angelou
From the history we have been able to gather, the Jones clan originated from the union of Samuel and Jane Jones. Samuel and Jane were both born sometime in the mid 1820�s in Buncombe County, North Carolina. Their first seven children were all born in North Carolina; Mille (1844), James (1845), William (1847), Mary (1849), Laura (1851), Fannie (1853) and Calvin (1855).
Sometime before the beginning of the Civil War, they were taken to Texas by their owners who thought Texas would never be a free state. And as we know, Texas was the last state to free slaves giving rise to black Texans celebrating June 19th (Juneteenth) as the day of Emancipation. Sam and Jane�s other seven children were born in Texas; Charlotte (1857), Albert (1859), Lucy (1861), Martha (1863), Amada (1865), Donna (1868) and Phoebe (1870).
Samuel would often share the story about how he was sold as a young boy while his mother watched from the back door from where she worked. Sam remembers his mother wiping her tears with the apron as he rode away on the back of a covered wagon.
We know that Samuel and Jane had 14 children, at his point; however, we have only been able to trace the offspring of two of the 14; Calvin and Albert. There other 12 are a missing link to the completion of our family tree. If anyone visiting our site has any knowledge of the missing 12, please let us know.
The Batson clan originated with the birth of Andrew Batson. He was born into slavery in 1845 on the Batson Plantation.
Before his freedom Andrew met Johnanna Titsworth, a young slave girl who lived on the Titsworth Plantation across the Arkansas River.
Many times Andrew swam the Arkansas River to see Johnanna. They were two people in love caught up in the politics of the day. Again, another family was moved to Texas to escape the Emancipation of the slaves, Johnanna was included in this flee to Texas.
Andrew worked for one year in order to buy a mule and a wagon to bring Johnanna back to Arkansas. It was agreed that the man he bought the mule from would ride with him as his employer to Texas in order to prevent Andrew from being taken back into slavery. Andrew and Johnanna were married after returning to Arkansas. The man Andrew hired forced him to return the mule and wagon; however, Andrew did not allow this to hinder him. He and Johnanna settled in Paris, Arkansas and prospered. They bought and farmed 80 acres of land. They had ten children; Felon, Tom, Isaiah, Fannie, Ed, Mary Jane, Mattie, Benjamin, Johnson and Willie Batson.
One of Calvin and Eliza�s children, Willie �Buster� Jones, married Margriee Batson, and this is how the Jones-Batson family was born.

TEAMS: Minnesota Timberwolves, Dallas Mavericks, Cleveland Cavaliers, San Antonio Spurs
In their past three games, the San Antonio Spurs have allowed opponents to shoot 49.6% against lowly teams such as the Minnesota Timberwolves, Dallas Mavericks, and Cleveland Cavaliers.
None of those teams will be postseason bound (including the Mavericks who are trailing by four games behind the eighth seed). These are opponents the Spurs should be handling easily with their depth and versatility on both ends of the floor.
No one can explain why the team is struggling on defense, including their cornerstone player in Tim Duncan.
"It's not been great and I don't know why", said Duncan after the team's narrow win over Cleveland. "The effort is there, I think we're playing hard. I think we're just giving up too many straight drives to the rim. We have to find a way to counter that and a way to clean that up."
With the exception of Tony Parker, the team is relatively healthy.

Meet Heretic, The Bay's Newest Brewery
Jamil Zainasheff had never planned to go pro. Over the past decade, he'd carved out a niche for himself in the growing homebrewing movement, authoring books on classic beer styles and yeast and hosting a popular Internet radio show, "The Jamil Show," on the Brewing Network. "I've always said I didn't want to set up a [commercial] brewery, because they're very expensive, and it's a lot of hard work," Zainasheff says.
That is, until a too-good-to-be-true offer fell into his lap. E.J. Phair, a growing brewery in Pittsburg, offered Zainasheff the opportunity to conduct an alternating proprietorship. For a fledgling brewer, this offer can be the equivalent of Willy Wonka's Golden Ticket: with most of the necessary licenses already obtained and the brewing equipment already purchased, start-up costs are unusually low. "When you see an opportunity like that, you have to take it, otherwise you'll be kicking yourself for the rest of your life," says Zainasheff.
After a small fundraising effort for ingredients and other necessities, Zainasheff's brewery, Heretic, was born. Asked why he chose the unique name, Zainasheff offered a historical explanation: "Traditionally, a heretic is someone who doesn't follow the established norm. Galileo was considered a heretic because he believed the earth revolved around the sun. In beer, which is kind of a religion to some people, not following the established norm can make you something of a beer heretic. A lot of craft beer lovers are really beer heretics."
Heretic's first brew should be popping up in Bay Area bars in early March, with a potential bottled offering to follow. Zainasheff is reluctant to offer too many details, but says that he'll likely refrain from adhering to any one traditional style; he's hoping to make Heretic known for offering unusual and extreme beers, potentially starting with a sour.
Having changed his mind about becoming a professional brewer, Zainasheff is particularly eager to prove his mettle. "With all the buzz starting around this, I really feel like our first beer needs to be perfect. One of the advantages that we have, with our low startup cost, is that if the beer's not perfect, we're just going to dump it. I don't care if we have to dump it ten times. Making a beer that's the absolute best you can possibly produce-- I think that's really important. We have that luxury, and it's fantastic."

Spy games: A look at North Korea's covert operations (part 1)
In celebration of the latest James Bond flick (granted, it was Die Another Day that featured blatant stereotypes about North Korean goons) and a longish piece in this week's Harper's on North Korea's propaganda machine, I thought I'd give a history lesson into a period of time when North Korea was even crazier than it may seem today (for instance, did you know some 30 North Korean spies managed to get all the way to Seoul and almost assassinated the South Korean president?).
But first, some blatant plugs for additional readings. Be sure to check out former Gadling blogger Neil Woodburn's excellent series, "Infiltrating North Korea," from last year. I also reported from North Korea for The Washington Post and The Christian Science Monitor this August. And if you're truly as obsessed about all this stuff as Neil and I, check out for part 2 tomorrow.
Anyways, so the North Korea of today, with its Lone Ranger worldview and its detachment with reality, can be traced back to the North Korea of the late 1960s, when it embarked on an unprecedented military and propaganda campaigns. But while the DPRK temporarily caused a fallout in US-ROK relations, the North failed to unify the peninsula as its heavy-handed military forays, following the "Vietnam Model", only solidified South Korean anti-communism sentiments. Yet perhaps the most important detail of all rests in not what was, but what might have been. Quoted in the summer of 1968 in the New York Times, a top US official exclaimed, "Few people realize how close we came to war."
Although the period 1967-1969 saw massive turmoil in Vietnam and China, the forgotten conflict on the Korean peninsula left an equally lasting legacy. North Korea permanently escaped the orbit of its two stronger communist brothers, China and the USSR, with Kim Il Sung exploiting the momentary power and attention vacuum in an attempt to become the head of the "anti-imperialist small states."
Life is stranger than fiction. In one of the most daring covert operations of the Cold War, thirty-one North Korean agents crossed the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) on January 17, 1968, on a top-secret mission to assassinate Republic of Korea (ROK) President Park Chung Hee in his own bedroom. As Lieutenant Kim Shin Jo, the only captured agent, later explained, success "would agitate the South Korean people to fight with arms against their government and the American imperialists."
Although the commandos managed to reach within 800 meters of Park's residence in Seoul, the Blue House, they were eventually detected and a national manhunt mobilized to track down the fleeing intruders. This audacious guerrilla operation was just one of a series between 1967-1969 when Kim Il-Sung reneged on the decade-old ceasefire.
With international attention diverted to China and Vietnam, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) renewed its military offensive as a means of forcing a US-ROK split, with the goal of hastening national unification. Although Kim saw this campaign as a diversion from the country's stalling economy and an opportunity for him to be crowned leader of the "anti-imperialist small states", the reunification efforts ultimately failed because he did not anticipate the extent of anti-communist sentiment in the South.
Known as the "Second Korean War," this period of aggression is often treated as an ephemeral blip on the geopolitical radar. After all, the real war had ended 14 years earlier when the peninsula became locked into a seemingly permanent stalemate. There were, granted, the occasional clashes; statistics for 1966, a typical year, included 50 North Korean DMZ crossings, 35 UN casualties, and 19 exchanges of fire.
So why was it that the very next year, military intrusions increased ten-folds to 566, UN casualties quadrupled to 122, and exchanges of fire increased six-folds to 117? The jump in border conflicts-and a new breed of well-coordinated covert operations, from the Blue House assassination attempt to the capture of a US spyship and an attempted amphibious invasion-turned out to be part of a coordinated DPRK offensive against the ROK and US. It was anything but a blip.
The escalation of conflict between 1966 and 1967 saw the sharpest jump in casualties and clashes, and arguably marked the beginning of the "Second Korean War." One of the first major incidents was the North Korean attack and sinking of a South Korean naval patrol boat on January 19, 1967, which killed all 40 crew members.
In a trend that would continue throughout the conflict, the DPRK shifted blame to the opposing party, in this case, complaining to the United Nations Command, "Your side has used South Korean fishing boats as a shield to cover up your espionage activities ... and to find a pretext for unleashing another war in Korea." The ROK subsequently relented and restricted its own fishing boats to below the 38th parallel, a victory that emboldened the DPRK for its boldest covert operation to date.
Part 2 tomorrow!

Hi, Jerry G. you posted an interesting article.
No, have not seen the screening of "Quantum Of Solace." I might go see the movie this weekend.
Jerry you mentioned Neil Woodburn's writings on his personal experiences during his recent visit to North Korea. Very interesting read. Thanks for posting.
According to some historians, Korea has been in conflicts for a few thousand years. Somewhat, similar to the history of conflicts in Vietnam.
Some historians also suggested that Christian missionaries began in the 16th century and other traditional religions like Buddhism and Shamanism were freely practiced. However, religious studies in Korea today are a much different story. (North Korea strictly prohibits religious studies altogether.)
Korea also had a rich history of skilled artisans-architecture. Many beautiful artifacts were later discovered including agriculture tools, gems, gold, jade, pottery, writings and etc.
After World War II in 1945, Korea was divided into North and South-38th parallel. This division was meant to be only temporary until a trusteeship administration was developed.
In June of 1950, North Korean troops "suddenly" attacked the south with Russian tanks and artillery-taking control of Seoul in three days. The South Korean government then called upon the United Nations for assistance and this was the beginning of The Korean War.
The Korean War lasted approximately three years and left hundreds of thousands of soldiers from different countries dead, wounded, or missing. However, the border at the 38th parallel did not change. Unfortunately, the armistice agreement did not develop into a formal peace treaty.
The conflict between 1966 and 1967 almost started the beginning of the "Second Korean War." (One major incident; The North Korean sinking of a South Korean naval patrol boat on January 19, 1967, which killed all 40 crew members.)
1968 was an interesting period, the capture of the USS Pueblo and General Gilbert Woodward signed documents to free the crew.
During the 1970s, there were troops still stationed in South Korea and conflicts occasionally "flared up" in the DMZ- demilitarized border zone.
On August 18, 1976 a small group of nine South Koreans, two U.S. officers and four American military police made an unpleasant trip into the DMZ to prune a poplar tree – (the tree hindered a clear view between two U.N. checkpoints.) The group encountered strong resistance. The incident resulting in a bloody conflict-two American soldier were beaten then axed to death.
U.S. later sent a small military force to finish cutting down the poplar tree. North Korea's President Kim Il-sung later expressed official regret over the incident.
In 1991 Soviet Union broke into 15 separate countries which signaled the end of the Cold War and led to new political, economic and military alliances around the world. A food shortage in North Korea then followed and famine set in. "As many as three million North Koreans are believed to have died from starvation."
Kim Il-sung later sought new relations with the United States because of the growing food crisis. Kim invited former President Jimmy Carter and evangelist Billy Graham to visit the country but both declined. This started North Korea's development of nuclear programs.
In October 1994, U.S. bilateral negotiations on international Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty began over nuclear proliferation concerns and to improved commercial and diplomatic ties with North Korea.
However, a series of unfortunate events later stalled the negotiations. (Ben Aderson,Will Daws, and Douglas Foster, 2003)
South Korea over the years built a strong economic development, encouraged a healthy standard of living, and adopted a democratic western-style of government.
In 2000, South Korean President Kim Dae Jung won the Nobel Peace Prize for his work in building peaceful relations with North Korea.
In February 2006, a lot of creative ideas were shared and later developed by...the U.S.; sending The New York Philharmonic Symphony to North Korea as a friendly gesture to restart bilateral negotiations.
Proposal for the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympic Games, venues, and etc. were also developed.
Interesting article.
