by fraternal history???
I identify fraternal societies through their past or present use of coded regalia, secret passwords, ritual and signs, and by their use of a philosophy, a mix of self-help and mutual aid, often called \\\'brotherhood\\\'. The equivalent term for females, \\\'sisterhood\\\', is rarely used when these societies are discussed, despite women\\\'s presence and influence. I group them into four categories, or strands: the first three being Freemasonry, trade-oriented, and friendly (or benefit) societies. The fourth group involves all those societies which meet the definition but which don\\\'t fit into the first three categories, eg, the Loyal Orange Lodges, the Buffaloes, the Sons and Daughters of Temperance, and so on. Neither the practices of fraternal societies nor the actions of individual members have always been in line with the avowed theory. Fraternal societies, set up to be support vehicles for the life journeys of their members, were often curtailed through human foibles and failings, or through the impact of larger outside forces. The first tasks have been to document the existence of the mostly invisible societies, while protecting the surviving evidence.

is a retired schoolteacher, hippy farmer and Public Servant. He completed his PhD in Australian History in 2004. He is Convenor of the Australian Centre for Secret Societies, Fraternalism and Mateship. He is an initiate of the UAOD, two Orders of Odd Fellow and of Freemasonry. None have inspired.
BY \\\'benefit societies\\\', in general terms, is meant societies which collect membership contributions into a central fund, and make payments out of that fund to members at times of hardship or distress. They were therefore mutual aid societies. BY \\\'fraternal societies\\\' is meant societies which have or have had rites and regalia, initiation oaths, secret passwords and signs, a degree structure, and a philosophy of mutual aid, ie, concern for ones \\\'brothers\\\'. THESE two groups once overlapped to a very large extent, less so today. It is possible, today, to find fraternalism without the benefit structures, eg, English Freemasons (see extra note below), and benefit societies without the secret lodge workings, eg trade unions, but historically, the origins of both kinds of societies are in the mediaeval gild (sometimes \\\'guild\\\'). IN recent times, the societies closest to the gild model have been the Affiliated Friendly Societies. They have been both fraternal and benefit societies. Since the late-20th century, while continuing to be disguised as member-oriented \\\'benefit societies\\\' the surviving \\\'friendlies\\\' are largely indistinguishable from commercial companies. FRATERNAL societies, whether benefit societies or not, were run by their members in their own interest, eg, to safeguard trade secrets, to ensure employment for members, to provide a social \\\'club\\\' or a kind of secular place of spiritual warmth. \\\'Benefit societies\\\' were run specifically by members for their own benefit, to ensure sickness, accident, funeral, strike, and other payments. Both were therefore examples of self-help and mutual aid at the same time. They were also often in a position to assist non-members, and did so as part of their community-building ethos. SOME societies known as \\\'friendly societies\\\', \\\'benefit societies\\\', and the like, were run by better-off people for the benefit of poorer people, and were therefore charities, not \\\'mutuals\\\'. They show none of the \\\'fraternal\\\' characteristics. Co-operatives were neither \\\'benefit societies\\\' nor \\\'fraternal societies\\\', but were more like member-run welfare agencies. They often had a strong community-building ethos and advocated grass-roots solidarity. Credit unions and building societies are neither fraternal nor benefit societies but may be \\\'mutuals\\\' with a strong community-oriented ethos. THERE have been a number of important fraternal societies which are not, or have not been a Friendly Society, a Trade Union or \\\'Masonic\\\'. Examples are the Loyal Orange Institutes, the Ku-Klux Klan, the Boy Scouts, the Theosophical Society and the Women\\\'s Christian Temperance Union. There have been many other fraternals, often dismissed simply as \\\'secret societies.\\\' An example is the Order of the Golden Dawn, with which Aleister Crowley, Maude Gonne and WB Yeats were briefly involved. Another would be the Rosicrucians. First up – the gilds: The gild had 5 aspects: conviviality…… as in celebration/community/parades/dinners trade defence…..secrets/oaths/politics fraternity……..solidarity/discipline/brotherhood welfare………..benefits/charity/health funds religion……….virtues – \\\'light-enlightenment\\\'/morality/symbolism; faith in \\\'The Great Architect\\\' or similar IN other words, the gild was, simultaneously, a drinking society, a trade union, a benefit society, a secret society and a religious society, but without \\\'modern\\\' forms or concepts which now attach to these terms. (Co-operatives were not intended to be any of these.) The gild\\\'s great strength, if it attained strength, resulted from these functions being inter-connected and indivisible. These aspects survived and help identify the gild\\\'s successors but, as time has gone on, in increasingly have become difficult to \\\'see\\\'. The historical treatment of benefit or fraternal societies explains their fate and/or the forms they have taken in industrial society. EACH of these 5 distinct functions depended on and helped to shape all the others, and each of the functions was important to the overall structural integrity. The gild came about as a means of defending the standards and the working conditions of a certain trade or occupation within a strongly \\\'Christian\\\' Europe. Members had to swear an oath to keep secret the practices within a trade and within lodge which therefore protected the various levels of skill and made possible a hierarchy of expertise and status within the trade. Thus, the degrees which were recognisable and profound indicators of life and work achievements were both reward and an acceptance of the burden of responsibility. THE insistence that a youth was first an apprentice and learnt the trade properly with a registered \\\'master\\\', before becoming a \\\'Craftsman\\\' or \\\'Journeyman\\\', and then a \\\'Master\\\', were the keys to protecting the trade from shoddy workers, to limiting the numbers of artisans in the trade and therefore wages and working conditions, and to protecting society generally against cheap and nasty imports or dangerous shortcuts, or the trade against \\\'forrins\\\'. THE gild was male-oriented only because society was male-oriented. There were female traders and artisans, and there were repeated struggles over their place and status, as part of the endless and every-day rounds of power struggles. The gild member was \\\'his\\\' family\\\'s representative, whether married and having children or not, and in certain circumstances \\\'his\\\' trade\\\'s and/or \\\'his\\\' community\\\'s representative. THE degree structure, reflecting a level of skill and preparation for the next, was often publically visible in \\\'his\\\' dress, and less publically in the arrangement of furniture within the space where teaching, testing and practicing of the skills took place, often called \\\'the lodge\\\'. The responsibilities inherent in the degrees was manifest in individual rights and responsibilities within the gild and within the community. The term \\\'masterpiece\\\' derives from this time, as do terms such as \\\'Tour de France\\\'. It is not accidental that many terms we use today, such as \\\'trade secrets\\\', \\\'trades hall\\\', \\\'secret men\\\'s business\\\', \\\'art-isan\\\', \\\'crafts-man\\\' or \\\'journey-man\\\', \\\'chapel\\\', \\\'arch-bishop\\\' or \\\'temples of labour\\\' have both work and religious or symbolic significance. These words all have fraternal significance. A \\\'Master\\\' had specific non-work-related roles, in dispute-resolution, in elections, and local skirmishes and in \\\'foreign relations\\\'. The apprentice, equally, had \\\'his\\\' roles. It was not a game, or a charade, fraternalism was the very stuff of every-day life and death. EACH trade had its special \\\'Days\\\' and at least once a year celebrated its religious responsibilities, distributed charity, elected its new \\\'officers\\\' and settled long-standing trade-disputes. Within the gild or each local \\\'lodge\\\', every \\\'brotheren or sisteren\\\' was expected to learn the duties and responsibilities attached to \\\'his\\\' particular level of attainment. This is akin to the members of a sporting team, today, say a five-eight, goal attack or centre forward, learning the skills and the tasks associated with their position. But the values taught \\\'in lodge\\\' and which were to permeate all labour were moral/religious/spiritual – particularly honesty, tolerance, and acting fairly or \\\'on the square.\\\' A person\\\'s reliability, strength of character and a willingness to accept responsibility were what was emphasised. On the other hand it was also expected that opportunities to advance would be available to all. The historical facts rarely accorded with theory, of course. EACH trade had periods of high and low employment since daily reality included attempts to at least influence the politico-economic climate. Providing a bed, some food and enough money to bide a travelling workman over until the next job, were the marks of a well-run, financially-strong organisation. Tramping-networks later became the basis of national organisation and the target of government suspicion since the unemployed \\\'tramps\\\' could easily be carrying anti-government or anti-the status quo messages, and often were. Codes, cyphers and \\\'intelligencers\\\' all come into this story. Second – the industrial revolution: The most-obvious time of social upheaval for us is the Industrial Revolution. The three major types of \\\'benefit societies\\\' with their origins in the gild, \\\'Friendly Societies\\\', Speculative Freemasonry and \\\'Trade Unions\\\' date their \\\'official\\\' histories from events in the 18th and 19th centuries. Whether one accepts the gild-based history or not, the implications of a common 18th century heritage would seem to be unavoidable. All three \\\'strands\\\' boast of having begun as tavern \\\'clubs\\\' and of progressing to their own \\\'halls\\\'.. IT is not surprising that the major forces that we associate with industrialisation caused these societies to differentiate, one from another, while continuing to have common features: nation-wide organisation, using a representative democracy form of government, often in a federated form; an emphasis on \\\'scientific\\\' methods, accountability, adherence to statute, discipline, an emphasis on individualised life-styles, personal health and welfare. NEITHER is it surprising that benefit societies should have been caught up in the struggles between opposing claims of how best to achieve social and personal \\\'improvement\\\' in response to these forces – such as Catholicism vs Protestantism; religion vs secularism; socialism vs capitalism; and community vs the individual. INDUSTRIALISATION has eroded social \\\'glue\\\' and separated communities into individual \\\'atoms\\\', so that knowledge of the practical reasons for the 5 gild aspects have been largely lost. Advocates of \\\'modernism\\\', rationalism and secularism have derided the degree rites and regalia, in particular, as quaint anachronisms or superstitious nonsense. It is not accepted that conviviality has a community-strengthening aspect, while secret oaths, handshakes and passwords have been outlawed, and so on. Third – the academic treatment of benefit societies: Few \\\'official\\\' histories of \\\'Friendly Societies\\\', (Speculative) Freemasonry and \\\'Trade Unions/ism\\\' provide reliable accounts of either their ostensible subject or their broader context. Most have been selective, narrowly-focused and usually written by \\\'insiders\\\', ie, authors whose intention has been to boost the claims of the one type of fraternal society over that of the others, quite often by ignoring the others, or by portraying one strand of fraternal society as unique and deserving of attention on its own – it is, they say, a special type, which is necessarily best understood, as a theoretical abstraction, out of its historical context. \\\'FREEMASONS\\\' have based their claims of uniqueness on the replacement, around 1717 in London, of operative stonemasons\\\' practices with symbolic rites derived from the stonemasons trade. This \\\'creation myth\\\' is happily increasingly under de-constructionist pressure, as is that of \\\'Trade Unions\\\' which have based their claims to uniqueness on workers resistance to threats to their livelihood. \\\'Capitalist\\\' work practices have denied long-standing work customs, such as the need for apprentices to learn their skills over xx years before being employed and taking the place, and therefore the bread, of a qualified craftsman. Women have often been disregarded. There has never existed a theoretical \\\'F/freemasonry\\\', or \\\'trade unionism\\\', each form, \\\'English Freemasonry\\\', \\\'Scottish Trade Unionism\\\' have reflected local conditions to a greater or lesser extent. FRIENDLY Societies have based their claims to uniqueness on a \\\'grass roots view of history\\\', that \\\'ordinary\\\' working people were forced together to work out day-to-day survival strategies in the face of neglect by \\\'big business\\\', \\\'big government\\\' and \\\'big unions\\\'. They have claimed looking to the future was everything, looking back was unnecessary. HISTORICALLY, insisting on one\\\'s uniqueness and mentioning the others only in negative cliches was another strategic response. It was a necessary part of the: competition between fraternal strands for resources, including members, the struggle for community dominance, and for political leverage and thus \\\'special interest\\\' protection. THAT we today see these \\\'strands\\\' as unique and as carrying out distinct and different functions is one result of this strategy. The general invisibility of fraternal societies, even within the societies themselves, is another. COMPETITION within strands for ideological dominance, control of resources, or for \\\'special treatment\\\' by the authorities has blunted the movement\\\'s understanding of its own broader context and of the significance, strengths and weaknesses of each of the strands. Trade unions and Freemasons each have a flawed, heroic understanding of themselves, while friendly society members know almost nothing of their own heritage. Communication between the \\\'chiefs\\\', even practitioners of the strands is virtually non-existent. Competition between strands has helped produce anti-literature (anti-masonic, anti-trade union, anti-friendly society) alongside the very partisan \\\'insider\\\' literature. This pro- and con- literature has, at times, played a key historical role, that is, the literature, itself, is part of the history. The ways in which this has happened are sometimes the most difficult parts of the whole dynamic to see. FRATERNAL memorabilia has been neglected or deliberately destroyed because of the perceived associations considered no longer relevant. Individual memories are extremely problematic guides to historical accuracy. In the short-term, just bringing the strands together, conceptually or physically can have a great therapeutic as well as educational role. There remains great pressure from vested interests, including many who claim to already know \\\'the truth\\\', eg, professional scholars, museum \\\'custodians of the past\\\'. Fourth – A guide to practice: Once the common elements are \\\'sighted\\\' the profusion of regalia can be seen as variations on a single theme. Some \\\'fraternals\\\' were totally local, and some have spread around the world. Some have lasted hundreds of years, while some expired at birth. Some were Catholic, some Jewish, Islamic, or Protestant, some were radical socially and politically and some were deliberately patriotic, exclusive and conservative. Some were female-only, some were mixed, and many have been fiercely male. INTERNALLY, \\\'lodge\\\' behaviour and member\\\'s carrying out of duties were once closely scrutinised. The personal backgrounds of intending candidates were explored and could result in their being \\\'black-balled\\\', ie prevented from joining by a current member placing a black rather than a white ball in the ballot box. Such results, the internal fines system and expulsions from lodge altogether were methods designed, in theory, to prevent inappropriate behaviour and prevent discussion of religion and/or political subjects. Lodge Rules were and are extensive. They reflect a history of conflicts, often personal. FRIENDLY Societies have been least well known, Trade Unions have probably been the most vigorous in seeking public attention, English Freemasons probably the least obvious, the most \\\'under ground.\\\' All \\\'strands\\\' have been deeply involved in political controversies and have received abuse and praise at different times. All have suffered severe declines in numbers, resources and influence in recent years, but all have had their obituaries read prematurely. BECAUSE of their common heritage, all have included in regalia and degree-structures, as in their rites, visual, biblical language: the EYE of Providence (God/the supreme Architect of the Universe/the Creator); angels, heavenly light or fire indicative of a Supreme Being, usually located at the apex of the symbolic hierarchy; symbolic and concrete temples, most particularly columns topped with a triangular shape; dove, heart in hand, cornucopia, bee hive, ark, symbols of time or death such as \\\'skull & cross bones\\\'; square and compass; woman as nurturer, often presented bare-breasted, in long, flowing garments. THESE symbols appear in the creation myths of each organisation, and in whatever artefacts were produced including banners, ceremonial items, members\\\' cards, certificates, lodge furniture and decorations. Each lodge required a Charter or Dispensation to legitimate its activities. Honour Boards incorporating this document are now often the only sign of a lodge\\\'s existence. Where Minute Books and other paper records survive, these provide insights into business practicalities, sociability and ritual. MASONIC authors, and some outsiders, have claimed fraternal similarities are a result of the primacy of \\\'Freemasonry\\\', from which all others have \\\'borrowed\\\'. I\\\'ve seen no credible evidence of such borrowings, while there is credible evidence of non-Masonic brotherhoods insisting that \\\'they\\\' had borrowed nothing. However, as the Masonic recruitment strategies gathered momentum, most particularly in the later-19th century, it is very possible, especially in the United States, that a number of \\\'brotherhoods\\\' took inspiration from what they knew of \\\'Freemasonry\\\'. The label \\\'masonic\\\' or \\\'pseudo-masonic\\\' has been applied without much thought. The presence of known initiated Masons at the foundation of a new \\\'brotherhood\\\' is insufficient evidence of a borrowing.\\\' Other, unacknowledged influences would appear to have been taken up, and research remains necessary into the possibility of at least three distinct lines of fraternal evolution. For brevity\\\'s sake I refer to these as: the operative line, the cabalistic line, and the real-politik line. Dr Bob James, 90 Henry St, Tighes Hill, 2297. Revised March, 2014.

Long weekend for me. I have Monday off. No plans, except to hang out here at the house, grill a few good meals. Right now, I am off to mow the yard, between the rain that has been happening and expected again tonight. So, what are your plans? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I have the weekend off too, the kids and I are going to see a movie tomorrow afternoon and maybe eat out. Then they're going to their dad's for the 4th. I'll be watching rented movies and dyeing my hair. lol! |
My routine will be similar to yours Walks, but still not sure if I have monday off or not....will find out on Sunday....such is the life of air conditioning business....if it's quiet, I will...if it's crazy, I won't...but I do plan on eating good food regardless |
I have the weekend and all of next week off. I'm only working the week after because I volunteered. Slept till noon today when my cat Yoko woke me to play. Drank warmed up coffee, surfed the net, and wondered what to eat for a couple hours. Drove into town and bought a load of softener salt and hit the grocery store. They had some nice ribeye steaks with a lean center and just enough fat around the outside to make good grill meat. Then I went home and had mashed potatos because I was suddenly struck with a craving for them... the steaks went in the fridge for another time. Washed a few loads of laundry and played with the cats for awhile. A sister just flew into town today so I went to meet her and another sisters house just in time for dinner. My dad was there working on her house and mom showed up later. Two little nieces were in high spirits so dinner was a rock & roll show. After dark we lit off some cheap fireworks and the kids cooked marshmallows with graham crackers and chocolate. We sat around drinking some coffee and Sangria until midnight and then I went home. Supposed to go to the bar tomorrow and visit a female friend. Went to a bar last night to visit a female friend but a different one in another town. It sounds like I have girlfriends and a love life but no they are just friends... but maybe someday... you never know. About as close as I get to planning these days. : ) |
Well, I had planned for a quiet night alone...the kids aren't going to the ex's afterall. Not sure what that is all about. One kid says they were never going, the other had big plans. Oh, well... So, I thought it would be the three of us, went and got a few little fireworks for tonight and then this afternoon, a friend called to invite us to her mom's for a cookout and fireworks. They live out in the country. So, I guess we'll go out there for a little bit. |
I'm staying home and trying to make the dog comfortable with all the fireworks and thunderstorms.... Barbara_Tampa |

Punkt ES 01: Reduce Your Cable Squid by 75%
How big is your cable squid? Mine is pretty big, and threatening to take over more and more space on and around my desk. It's never been easy to organize cables, but Switzerland's Punkt seeks to change this by simply hiding away all of your cables in a sleek box.
The Punkt ES 01 was designed by Georges Moanack, and it allows you to tuck away cables under its rounded lid. Chaos becomes organized, and it's good looking enough that you won't be worried if people see it in your home office. Its neutral colors blend in with most interiors. It's got a soft white LED that indicates its power status.
The ES 01 has 5 sockets, a removable lid, and a central power button to power all of the outlets off simultaneously. The way that the sockets are positioned is supposed to allow you to plug in power supplies that cover two or three sockets.
The ES 01 comes in red, white or black and will be available shortly. Unfortunately, it looks like it's only going to be available with European sockets for now.

Look at technical specifications. There it says that 5 different sockets are available. I think this covers most if not all countries.

How to approach PT3
I'd like to kick off this round of speculation and see if there might be a consensus on how to approach PT3. In case you missed it:
http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/03/...ease-announced In case you live under a rock and are too lazy to click on the link, here's what we know:
I did not attend PAX and I haven't read anything more than that, but based on the above, here's some few important questions that still linger. I welcome any source supported answers.
At first glance, it doesn't seem like GB did much to avoid the pitfalls inherit to a PT{x} and PT{x.5} setup to my dismay (although overall, I am very happy with yesterday's news). It seems very likely that a 3.5 is going to occur where players will need to wait until they are at cap level to do sidequests and difficulty spikes will persist not because of a level disparity but because of the loot level difference. So community, any preliminary thoughts? |

Re: How to approach PT3
I am very excited! I play this game with a friend and we beat Playthrough 1 & 2 together on Borderlands 1 & 2. We were both pretty bored with Borderlands 2 after doing what we could in Sir Hammerlock's Big Game Hunt, but now there's stuff to do. I know we will have to get out gear back to top tier, but thats part of the RPG experience.
To answer your question, I honestly don't care how they do it. I am thinking that they will just lock out the side stuff and just put you on the main quests because that sounds reasonable if it scales. When you beat the DLC, you get to do side quests. As long as I get more skill points, inventory, ammo and some cool new guns, I am happy. |

Re: How to approach PT3
My thoughts:
In order to make UVHM work properly for both people who are stuck at 50 due to not paying $5 as well as people whose cap is 61, UVHM will completely scale to the player's level. Any quests accepted will be accepted at the level of the highest party member as well as enemies encoutered. What this means is that you won't have to wait until you defeat the Warrior before you start farming unique quest rewards. As soon as you hit 61, you can start accepting quests and building your unique collection. |

Re: How to approach PT3
I generally don't bump, but with ChrisF's update on how UVHM works, I think it's worth doing (besides I have a question now).
With this update, here's what we know: UVHM enemies scale to your level at any given point in it. You can reset UVHM's overall mission progress at any point and repeat them. You skip tutorial missions. Enemies will have 4 times more health, and slag now lasts longer and multiplies damage by 3. Given all that, it would seem that with the way UVHM is set up, being overleveled while carrying underleveled guns is just about the worst thing in the world. To me, it seems the best thing to do is go to UVHM immediately after hitting level 50 and beating the Warrior. Anyone else agree? What's your thoughts? |

Re: How to approach PT3
You're assuming 2.5 no longer scales, which would be stupid and I hope they don't do. If it scales, I'm grinding Warrior (which will level with me) to 6-. If not, I'll quest PT3 until I level, then reset and do it again. Unless they've really, really, honest to God fixed the scaling anyway.

Re: How to approach PT3
I still think the best bet is to play the new playthrough until your gear is obsolete THEN if you have them turn in your quests. Makes no sense to jump to 51 (or higher) immediately making your gear immediately worthless. |

TORONTO – Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne says she was never part of a discussion to cancel a Mississauga gas plant in the middle of the last provincial election despite being the Liberal campaign co-chair.
"I was not part of any meetings on the decision to move the gas plant," Wynne said Wednesday. "I was part of the campaign team but I was not in any of those meetings."
Wynne said she is prepared to attend and answer questions if asked to testify at a government committee looking into the cancellations.
Former energy minister Chris Bentley told the legislature's estimates committee in July that the decision to cancel the Greenfield South Power plant in the Liberal riding of Mississauga South was made by the Ontario Liberal Party in response to overwhelming opposition from local residents.
The Ontario government had already cancelled another gas plant planned for Oakville, and the combined cost to taxpayers is estimated at least $230 million.
Wynne has agreed to re-strike the estimates committee after the legislature returns Tuesday.
Tory MPP Jim Wilson said the Liberals are trying to control the committee by attempting during a House leaders meeting to set limits on members.
Wilson said the government does not want to deal in committee with contempt motions or missing documents.
Wynne said the committees will be fully functioning.
"They can deal with the matters that they choose to," she said.
Wynne attended her first full cabinet meeting as premier Wednesday.

City: 'Not entirely clear' how Prov. avoids bankruptcy, tax hike
February 11th, 2012 at 4:29 pm by Ted Nesi under Nesi's Notes, On the Main SiteBy Ted Nesi
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) – The Taveras administration acknowledged Saturday that Providence has no clear plan for closing the $22.5 million shortfall in the city budget, amid warnings of bankruptcy and with less than five months left in the fiscal year.
"Since taking office the administration has worked to close the gap on a $110 million structural deficit that was identified," Taveras spokesman David Ortiz told WPRI.com. "Despite how far we've come, there is a $22.5 million shortfall remaining that is not within our ability to fix without help."
"We are in conversations at the State House and with the City Council about the crisis that Providence is in, and at this point it's not entirely clear how we get into the next fiscal year without facing the possibility of a supplemental tax increase or bankruptcy," he said.
Brown University President Ruth Simmons, who's been at loggerheads with Taveras since December over the school's payments to the city, said in a statement Saturday there are "now productive and positive discussions with the city and state leadership to determine the exact nature of the University's contributions."

Following last nights announcement of the second-degree murder charges being brought against George Zimmerman, the parents of Trayvon Martin discussed the outcome of the case and their thoughts with MSNBCs Rev. Al Sharpton during Hardball with Chris Matthews.
The full transcript and embeddable video from MSNBCs Hardball' were sent to Monsters and Critics.
When asked by Sharpton what hed say to George Zimmerman if he had the opportunity to speak with him, given the verdict/situation, Trayvon Martins father, Tracy Martin said this:
· I would ask him did he have any regrets, did he realize he destroyed a life, he destroyed a family and that had he second guessed it, would he just stayed in the car. Most certainly, I have no hatred towards him, but I would just like for him to look into my eyes and feel my hurt, feel my family`s pain.
How he felt after they got the call with the news that George Zimmerman would be charged with second-degree murder:
· Tracy Martin (father of Trayvon) said: [I feel]Trayvon is looking down on us and saying thank you, Dad.
· Sybrina Fulton (mother of Trayvon) said: For the last 44 or 45 days, I have not felt peace . maybe I will get a good night`s rest tonight.

TRANSCRIPT: MANDATORY CREDIT TO MSNBCs HARDBALL
CHRIS MATTHEWS, MSNBC HOST: My colleague, the Rev. Al Sharpton is with the parents of Trayvon Martin in Washington, D.C., right now -- Rev. Sharpton?
REV. AL SHARPTON, MSNBC HOST: Thank you, Chris, and I`m sitting here at the Washington Convention Center with the parents of Trayvon Martin, and we just finished a press conference with Attorney Ben Crump after they spoke with the special prosecutor, who informed them that she was getting ready to announce to the world that she was, in fact, charging Mr. Zimmerman with murder two. And I said at the press conference, and I`ll say it publicly, that I did not have a lot of faith in what would happen, but I believed it was the right thing to say that we need an arrest and see where it would go. And it has crossed partisan lines and ended up with a very serious charge. Let me start here with Attorney Crump, so people will understand, that he can face life in jail if he is convicted as charged on murder two, is that correct?
BEN CRUMP, MARTIN FAMILY ATTORNEY: Yes, he can, and it is one of those situations where I think the minimum is 15 years if he is convicted. So the judge will have some discretion there. And I did want to say, Reverend Sharpton, it was Governor Scott and Pam Bondi, the attorney general, who weighed in first and then got the special prosecutor involved, as I share your sentiments that we were really concerned whether anything was going to happen, because they didn`t intend on arresting anybody when Tracy Martin called us.
SHARPTON: Now let me go to the parents for a minute. I think that what people need to have a sense of, Sybrina, is that you lost a son. It was a movement toward an unjust ruling of no arrest for many of us when we got involved and wanted to just bring attention. But it was personal to you. Forty-five days ago you lost your son. As you listened to the prosecutor tonight tell you on the phone that she was in fact arresting the killer, after you heard the police say that he would not be arrested, how did you feel as a mother?
SYBRINA FULTON, TRAYVON MARTIN`S MOTHER: I felt overwhelmed. I was just glad for the first time that Zimmerman was going to be held accountable for what he has done to us as a family. It not only took one life, but it affected all of our lives. And I was just glad to know that at least he`ll be brought to justice.
SHARPTON: You, Tracy, as a father, you told me a story about your son, Trayvon, had once saved your life, and you felt you owed it to him. And you were overwhelmed when you heard the news as well. But tell us as a father, and with that feeling that you wanted to do something for the son that had made it possible for you to keep living, how you felt tonight. Do you feel you`re closer to evening the score with what Trayvon did for you?
TRACY MARTIN, TRAYVON`S FATHER: I feel that him saving my life and not being able to save his life, I can never even that score. It`s very -- I was very emotional when I got the call, when we got the call from Ms. Corey. But I feel that we`re putting a lot of pressure now, and that Trayvon is looking down on us and saying thank you, Dad.
SHARPTON: One of the things that was impressive to me is when we first talked, and you were saying you were not trying to get revenge. You started explaining to me that you worked for government, you`re very religious -- I`ve now been to your church, home church, and that you wanted no hate in this. You said, Reverend, we don`t want any violence and no hate and we don`t even want any hate at Mr. Zimmerman. We want to show what happened to our son. And are you feeling now, since there has been no violence, and has been no -- on the side of all of the protests, all over the country, not only the ones with National Action Network, the kind of behavior that you wanted, how do you feel tonight in terms of the expectations you have of the people and how they behaved?
FULTON: I feel at peace right now for a long time. For the last 44 or 45 days, I have not felt peace. But just to know he has been arrested gives me peace, just to know that people have not started being violent against one another or property or anything like that, it gives me peace. So maybe I will get a good night`s rest tonight.
SHARPTON: You said that you hadn`t had a good night`s rest since this happened. You think tonight might be your first night to get a good night`s rest?
FULTON: I`m going to keep my fingers crossed, I`m going to say my prayers before I go to bed, and hopefully I`ll get a good night`s rest tonight.
SHARPTON: Let me ask you, Tracy, if you -- you heard tonight that Mr. Zimmerman is in custody, you said that you`re glad he is off the streets, but you`ve also said you didn`t want to have vengeance, you just wanted justice. If you sit in a courtroom and see George Zimmerman, and had an opportunity to say something to him, as the father of the young man whose life he took, what would you say?
MARTIN: I would ask him did he have any regrets, did he realize he destroyed a life, he destroyed a family and that had he second guessed it, would he just stayed in the car. Most certainly, I have no hatred towards him, but I would just like for him to look into my eyes and feel my hurt, feel my family`s pain. A seed has been taken away from us that can`t be given back to us, but at the same time, I just would want to know how he feels about taking our son`s life.
SHARPTON: Before going back to the legal monitoring that we`re going to -- because he said we`re only on first base, this is not the end. But you have Trayvon`s brother, and Trayvon`s brother is here with us at the convention. He has been quietly around, but around everywhere, around you and trying to keep you guy strong, and it was him that Trayvon was going to give the iced tea and all. What have you been able to say to Trayvon`s brother and his siblings? How do you explain to the younger members of the family to have the strength and civility that you had, I mean, that you`ve kept stressing we want justice, but we want to have peace at the same time, how do you get them to understand that? It`s got to be hard.
FULTON: A lot of things I didn`t hide from them. When I cried, I wanted them to see my tears, because I wanted them to see that I was in pain, because I wanted them to see God bring me through this. I did not have any answers as to why the person who shot and killed Trayvon had not been brought to justice. I really didn`t have an answer for that. But I just told them that we`re going to pray about it and we`re going to continue to pray. And we`re going to continue to pray until we get justice.
SHARPTON: And how as you, a father, talking to Trayvon`s brother and the relatives and those around his age that now have lost a brother or cousin, how do you make young people understand why you`re operating with such dignity?
MARTIN: I just try to let his younger siblings know that he is -- he is not going to die in vain. We`re not going to let his name go like that. We`re going to protect the integrity of his name, our family name. They knew Trayvon as a loving individual. And it`s very hard for them to start dealing with the loss of him, but at the same time, they realize that we`re going to keep the movement going and keep his name going on and on, and they`re starting to cope with it a little bit better now.
SHARPTON: Attorney Crump, the legal steps from here, is what happens? He`s -- we`re told that Mr. Zimmerman is in custody, I believe, Prosecutor Corey said he is in custody in Florida, what happens next?
CRUMP: Well, there`s going to be a bond hearing to determine whether he is going to be bonded out of jail. There`s going to then be what we call first appearance, where he`ll be at an arraignment hearing, a plea of guilty or not guilty, and then the big crucial thing coming around to second base, Reverend Sharpton, is this "Stand Your Ground" hearing that is the law now here in Florida. And the judge has a decision to make, based on his defense, if he accepts this defense, the judge can dismiss the case. However, once the judge rejects that defense of "Stand Your Ground," then you get to third base and it`s what evidence can come in and so forth. And then the home stretch is when you present it to the jury. And it`s no easy stretch getting past that second base, but I feel confident once we get to third base, then we`re coming on home.
SHARPTON: So the next big hurdle is to make sure a judge, based on "Stand Your Ground," does not dismiss the charges.
CRUMP: That is it. That is the big hurdle. That`s why we have to look at this "Stand Your Ground" law really hard, Reverend Sharpton. And I do want to say thank you publicly again, because you getting involved and so many other national leaders, Reverend Jackson, Reverend Bryant, so many people brought attention. We have seen what has happened with ALAC (ph) and the corporations saying we can`t stand for laws like this "Stand Your Ground" that will let an unarmed teenager be shot in cold blood, an armed vigilante who killed him not even be arrested, because that`s how bad that law is. It has to be amended. Trayvon`s legacy is going to mean a lot, but that`s one of the important things it has to mean.
SHARPTON: Tracy, the Trayvon Martin law, which will deal with this "Stand Your Ground," we`re seeing people now, today, here in Washington, here at our convention and other places dealing with this law. You, as parents, would both want to see the partly (ph) legacy of your son dealing with this law and the Trayvon Martin law would really deal with this whole "Stand Your Ground" situation?
FULTON: Yes, we want to the support the cause.
MARTIN: Most definitely. We want to support the cause, and we want to see the law repealed.
SHARPTON: Attorney Crump, the reputation of Ms. Corey is that she is tough. And I was just hoping she`d be tough in the right way. Do you expect her to come in and strongly present the case before the judge to get by a dismissal and then head into trial?
CRUMP: I certainly do, Rev. Sharpton. I expect it for a lot of reasons, for her integrity, I want her to be a tough, good prosecutor, but also because she knows the whole world is watching. That`s the one thing, when you get a petition where over 2 million people sign it, those people have done something now. So they`re engaged, and, you know, through your vast experience and stuff, be the hardest thing is getting people to stand up, it`s easy to stay silent. I have to say this, everybody says when we get justice for Trayvon Martin, that`s will be our finest hour. I disagree. I think our finest hour was when Tracy Martin called, when nobody knew of Trayvon Martin, and you stood up for somebody who was unnamed, who the government said was unimportant, but you said this is what our education, our talents, this is what we`re trained up to do, to stand up for the least of ye, to stand up for good people. Trayvon was only a child, and if we don`t stand up for him, who will we stand up for?
SHARPTON: Was there ever a time that you had doubt that you could get an arrest, that you could turn this around?
FULTON: Initially, I did doubt, because I didn`t have much faith in the Sanford police department, so there was some doubt there, and then it was passed to the state attorney`s office. There was a level of doubt there, but I guess once it got to Ms. Corey`s office, I felt a little more comfortable, even though she did not give us any information that would lead give us -- that would lead to an arrest, she never said that to us. But I just had a good feeling about it once that -- once we met with her. And I just prayed. I just prayed every day, and I just leaned on God to lead the way.
SHARPTON: And you, Tracy, did you ever feel that this was hopeless? Did you ever feel that you were going to just try but you didn`t think it was going to go anywhere?
MARTIN: Yes, after all the smearing of Trayvon`s name, and just -- there was a doubt in my mind.
SHARPTON: How did you react when they started castigating -- he was coming up with stuff that was not true about your son.
MARTIN: Yes, as a father, I just swore to my own integrity that I would not let them smear my son`s name, I wouldn`t let them assassinate his character. And I think it was at that point when they actually started trying to smear his name, I just said, I have to just put everything that I have in my body to put forth the effort, to keep it going and not stopping until we get justice. But there was a doubt when the Sanford police department had the case. Let me ask you this -- and I`m going to close on this. I wanted to ask you, Sybrina, as a mother, and I want to ask you, Tracy, as the father. This case has received a lot of publicity. Twenty, 30 years from now, what do you hope people will think when they hear your son, Trayvon Martin`s name? What do you hope history will record him as and what his meaning would bring to this country?
FULTON: I hope they remember that he was an unarmed teenager, he was a minor, and that he was shot and killed by an adult, and his parents fought to make sure that justice was served. I also hope that the laws are changed under Trayvon Martin`s name, and that this does not happen to any other child or an adult. I just hope that this also brings people closer together, and for people to stop looking at the outside of a person`s character and look at the inside.
SHARPTON: Tracy?
MARTIN: Twenty years from now I hope that the school systems can open the books and Trayvon`s picture is in there, and the heading is, "The kid that brought racial tension to a head, that made the world see that we can get along together, that made the world see that justice is for all."
SHARPTON: As a lawyer, what do you hope his case will end up meaning, in terms of the whole fight for civil rights and equal justice under the law?
CRUMP: I think you hit it on the head, Reverend Sharpton, equal justice under the law. As the social engineers for change, we got to make sure that it`s equal justice for everybody. It seems so conveniently easily that they were ready to sweep Sybrina and Tracy`s son under the rug, and just say nobody is going to be held accountable, like it didn`t even matter. The legacy has to be that there can be no more Trayvon Martins, not on our watch, and we got to teach our children to stand up and pass the baton and say, yes, everybody matters. Justice matters for everybody. And that has to be the legacy. And Reverend Sharpton, this Trayvon Martin law, we got to work on the "Stand Your Ground" law . It is killing lot of innocent people.
SHARPTON: well, I thank you Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin, Attorney Ben Crump.
SHARPTON: -- back to you, Chris Matthews and HARDBALL.
MATTHEWS: Thank you so much, Rev. Al Sharpton. Well, there`s a lot of humanity in those interviews with the parents, especially. Thank you so much for doing that.

I bought a month old baby pygmy. He was fine Thursday when I brought him home. Today is Saturday and he seems very weak and lifeless but still crying and breathing. I have tried giving him Ultra start Milk Replacer. I have given him so Gatorade. I don't know what else to do. Is it because he is homesick? Thank you for your help. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Does he have a runny stool? If not-I would switch to whole vit d milk (the stuff you buy from the store) and or pedialite-this will help balance electrolytes. Check chest and makes sure its clear. He may also be in shock-keep warm and quiet. Try to make bottles of Pedialyte to keep him hydrated. Hope this helps |

A few years back, the editors of Guitar World magazine compiled what we feel is the ultimate guide to the 100 Greatest Guitar Solos of All Time.
The list, which has been quoted by countless artists, websites and publications around the world, starts with Richie Sambora's work on Bon Jovi's "Wanted Dead or Alive" (Number 100) and builds to a truly epic finish with Jimmy Page's solo on "Stairway to Heaven" (Number 1).
To quote our "Stairway" story that ran with the list, "If Jimmy Page is the Steven Spielberg of guitarists, then 'Stairway' is his Close Encounters."
We've kicked off a summer blockbuster of our own — a no-holds-barred six-string shootout. We're pitting Guitar World's top 64 guitar solos against each other in an NCAA-style, 64-team single-elimination tournament. Every day, we will ask you to cast your vote in a different guitar-solo matchup as dictated by the 64-team-style bracket (which we will share soon!).
Note that you can vote only once per matchup. The voting for each matchup ends as soon as the next matchup is posted (Basically, that's one poll per day during the first round of elimination, including weekends and holidays).
In some cases, genre will clash against genre; a thrash solo might compete against a Southern rock solo, for instance. But let's get real: They're all guitar solos, played on guitars, by guitarists, most of them in some subset of the umbrella genre of rock. When choosing, it might have to come down to, "Which solo is more original and creative? Which is more iconic? or Which one kicks a larger, more impressive assemblage of asses?"
Voting started Monday, June 10, 2013. Today's matchup is Steve Vai's "For the Love of God" (29) vs. Yngwie Malmsteen's "Dark Star" (36). Get busy! You'll find the poll at the bottom of the story.
Yesterday's Results
Monday's winner: "Surfing with the Alien" (66.3 percent)
Monday's loser: "Cemetery Gates" (33.7 percent)
Round 1, Day 2: "For the Love of God" Vs. "Dark Star"
29. "For the Love of God"
Soloist: Steve Vai
Album: Passion and Warfare (Epic, 1991)
"The song is about how far people will go for the love of their god," says Steve Vai. "When you discipline yourself to quit smoking, to run faster or to play better, you have to reach deep down into a part of you. That is a profoundly spiritual event. That's when you come into contact with that little piece of God within you. That's what I was trying to achieve with 'For the Love of God'—I was trying to find that spot."
36. "Black Star"
Soloist: Yngwie Malmsteen
Album: Rising Force (Polydor, 1984)
"I've been playing that song, or variations of it, since I was a teenager in Sweden," Yngwie Malmsteen told his fan club. "I used to play really long, uninterrupted improvisations when I played local shows in Stockholm back then, and it developed from that. I didn't sit down and actually write out the notes for it; when I'm feeling inspired, the music just flows out of me. It's in my head and my ears and flows out of my fingers."

Norfolk State University nursing program in jeopardy
Jordan Crawford | 8/7/2013, 4 p.m.
Norfolk is one of just four divisions statewide whose school nurses are employees of the public health department rather than the school system. Chesterfield, Arlington and Fairfax are the others.
With state funding for Norfolk's school nurses steadily shrinking, the School Board is debating whether it could save money by substituting less-expensive health care providers for the registered nurses currently in place.
This already provides the Norfolk State University nursing program with a grim outlook. Sadly, there is more to the department's woes.
The president of NSU's accrediting body has sent a request to the school asking for more information on its delayed auditing process and a recent ruling on one of its nursing programs.
According to Belle Wheelan, president of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, the request is standard after the organization receives "unsolicited information." In this case, that would be recent news articles highlighting NSU's failed attempts to complete financial audits for 2011 and 2012.
The university is also burdened with enrollment concerns surrounding uncertainties over interest rates on student loans.
Furthermore, the Virginia Board of Nursing recently ruled that NSU cannot admit any new students into its two-year associate degree nursing program for a year due to passing rates for its students on the NCLEX, a national licensing exam, diving below 80 percent during each of the past three years. The rates were 76 percent in 2010, 47.8 percent in 2011, and 54 percent in 2012.
Dr. Bennie Marshall, professor and chair of the Nursing and Allied Health Department at NSU, said that while the associate's degree program has come to a halt, the bachelor's degree program is accredited and continues to thrive and the department has added a new track for freshman students.
"Healthcare practices are steadily changing. Incoming freshman and those who were in the associate's program before will be able to feed into the bachelor's program. Those who may have been specifically seeking the associate's program can get general education for two years, then come back and get their Bachelor's."
Tackling the school's enrollment issue, NSU Provost, Sandra DeLoatch, said the university has a target enrollment of 71,000 for fall and currently 5,600 students have preregistered. Registration is highest during late August. The nursing board order will not affect current students in the associate program. Approximately 230 students were enrolled in the program last year and 92 registered so far for the upcoming fall semester.
According to Thomas Chewning, NSU rector, the university plans to deliberate whether to continue the associate's program because the market now requires four-year nursing degrees.
NSU alumnus, Rakeia Manley, believes that people hearing this news may use it to confirm their views of NSU being a below average school, mainly because it is an HBCU, and that the university should make strides to shed that fallacy.
The school's image is rooted in a long history. NSU opened during the Great Depression, functioning as a local arm of Virginia Union University in Richmond. Classes were held in rented rooms in a local YMCA. NSU's doors were opened for blacks who did not have the money to study outside the city but were barred by segregation from the college across town, now ODU.

Steeping to Slow Down | How to Make Your Own Medicine
The art of making your own medicine through the use of herbal remedies allows you to take your health into your own hands, literally.
To learn to trust your body, your feelings, your intuition. You are an expert in knowing exactly how you feel and when you are capable of making remedies to soothe ailments instead of running to the Doctor you are participating in ancient traditions.
Today, let's take a look at the power of herbal teas, herbal infusions. As we prepare batches of different herbal elixirs, we are forcing ourselves to slow down and intentionally involve ourselves with self care.
You can purchase dried or fresh herbs either at a local herb store, or most health food stores. Herbs are generally stored in glass jars and I recommend taking the lid off, smelling your herbs before you decide whether or not you want to buy them. Choose your herbs very much like you would produce. Make sure there is some color to them, a slight scent, some vitality. You want to consume rich and happy herbs!

The shorts are screened and the filmmakers are recognized during this special program. Each award is accompanied by a $1,000 cash prize.
Rick Jackson –

And she has been a longtime supporter of the Cleveland International Film Festival, always promoting the use of public transit to and from Tower City Center.

Her grandmother worked for Continental Lithograph on East 72nd Street in the 1950s. They produced movie posters for theaters throughout the country.

This juror position is probably the first time Rob has ever been associated with the word "short" because he is six feet, seven inches tall.
