A Bunch of Good Apples
Nebraska Appleseed's Good Apple Awards recognize the successes that they and their partners have been part of over the last year.
Becky Gould, Executive Director at Nebraska Appleseed, says this is an opportunity for Nebraska Appleseed to also look forward to what lies ahead in terms of working for justice and opportunity for all Nebraskans.
Rachel Jacobson, Executive Director for Film Streams, received Nebraska Appleseed's Emerging Leader Award. Gould says the award recognizes those creating new things in Nebraska that draw attention to important issues.
"And so we are really recognizing Rachel's work in setting up Film Streams and the efforts they make to create community dialogue around important issues. For example, they've shown a number of films related to Immigration issues and the impact Immigration issues have on our state and our community and had some really productive discussions around that."
Other recipients included State Senator Kathy Campbell and The Nebraska Indian Child Welfare Act Coalition.

There were a number of errors in your article on Ted Crisell (Commie Girl, May 11):
1. Ted Crisell is not a leftist. Ted Crisell is a businessman and former president of the student bodies of Orange Coast College and Chapman University as well as a Rotary International graduate scholar. Ted Crisell has more than 30 years in the real world of business.
2. Ted Crisell supports protecting the environment, helping our schools and reducing taxes.
3. Ted Crisell was the official Democratic nominee for Congress opposing [Representative Dana] Rohrabacher, the long-time incumbent who was [not] proven guilty of campaign fraud, having had his campaign manager indicted and convicted of campaign fraud along with his treasurer. He has not been a friend of the environment, of education, the arts or working men and women. He has done a very poor job over the past 12 years. No press coverage was given to the debate at Orange Coast College, at which Ted Crisell defeated him on every point and Rohrabacher showed up late and was booed by the students and community members present.
4. Ted Crisell supports the Artists Village in Santa Ana and believes the City Council and Mayor [Miguel] Pulido have done a great job putting the Artists Village together. Ted attended an event in the Artists Village with a white shirt and black slacks. He did not wear a cape.
5. Ted Crisell loves to dance and comes from a family of dancers. Ted Crisell's mother was raised in a Catholic orphanage, and she was a tap dancer and ballerina. In the dance world, Ted is called Theo. He was part of an 11-member dance troupe. One of the student members was gay, but not all the dancers were gay. The Fiesta Latina troupe was led by Professor Jose Costas of Orange Coast College and performed before hundreds of students and members of the community.
[Hey! What happened to 6?!]
7. Latin dances were performed and well-received with clapping, shouting and standing ovations. Ted did a fine job dancing, and at age 54, he did quite well in keeping up with those half his age. He did not faint, fall down or vomit.
[Oh! Here it is.]
6. The tone and misinformation in the article written by your reporter is truly sick. How about reporting on some real things. I feel you should not have on staff a person who cannot report facts. Calling people in the community names, not reporting the right facts and twisting the facts is not good reporting. Please bring your paper and reporters to a higher level.
I want the owner, editor and community to know I am disappointed by what this reporter is trying to do to people in the community. Report the truth about the dishonest and corrupt [Scott] Baugh, Rohrabacher and [Dave] Garofalo. It is time we remove these crooks from Orange County! And next time I campaign to remove Rohrabacher, how about giving the campaign some coverage?
Ted CrisellIDLE WORSHIP
Joey Ramone dies Joey fuckin' Ramone and all you print are irrelevant, bullshit quotes from a bunch of ignorant wankers who could hardly give two fucks ("Joey Ramone, 1951-2001," April 20). A monumental piece of shit that makes the pigeon-fart articles Chris Ziegler usually writes seem infinitesimal. Congratulations. Why would you waste the ink to print such a worthless and insulting article trivializing the life of such a rad human being and musician? Next time, go fuck yourselves instead of fucking corpses.

I am indebted to Alison M. Rosen for pointing out that a cucumber resembles a man's penis ("VeggiePhallus," May 4). I don't know how my three-year-old son would have turned out had he continued to watch Veggie Tales movies with a large dick as the main character. I think it's time for you to move on to Pok�mon and Rugrats.
Linda DreilingAlison M. Rosen responds: Linda, Linda, Linda. Clearly you misunderstood myVeggie Tales story. The point wasn't that Larry the Cucumber "resembles a man's penis" but that Bob the Tomato resembles his balls.
Re: Alison M. Rosen's story on Thomas Kinkade ("Aaaiiiiiiiiieeeeeeee!!!!" April 6): First, we antagonize Europe by scuttling the Kyoto Accords. Then we panic them with Missile Defense. And now this! The first two can be laid at the door of George W. Bush and his corporate overlords. But you, my friends, must shoulder the blame for the latest atrocity. According to the UK paper The Independent, Thomas Kinkade, Painter of Light™, is about to gain a major foothold in the British Isles. Mad Cow, Foot-in-Mouth—haven't these people suffered enough? Apparently not. Is it just a coincidence that this big, international push for the Painter of Light™ comes just after you ran that cover story on why he does not make some people gag?

Floyd JohnsonUpstate NYAge: 55-65Gender: male5 Stars Out Of 5Fifth Edition Only Gets BetterMay 10, 2012Floyd JohnsonUpstate NYAge: 55-65Gender: maleQuality: 5Value: 4Meets Expectations: 5This review was written for A Survey of the New Testament, Fifth Edition.Though Gundry has been the subject of some controversy within the Evangelical church, I have appreciated his contributions to the reference literature. This fifth edition of his widely used A Survey of the New Testament is no exception.
I first used Gundry's Survey while in seminary over 30 years ago. The book has only improved with age. The addition of color images, insets explaining and illustrating technical terms, and the availability of audio-visual aids to support the text make the new addition a valuable addition to the Bible student's, lay or professional, library.
The new edition will include both a traditional book, e-book, and enhanced e-book versions. The enhanced e-book version will include video introductions, animated maps and illustrations. Faculty and students will also have available supplemental study material to help with classroom presentations and study.
The writing style is inviting, the text address the major questions surrounding the authorship of each book. For example, in discussing the authorship of the Gospel of Matthew, Gundry writes:
The skillful organization of this Gospel agrees with the probable interests and abilities of a tax collector such as the Apostle Matthew had been. So also does the fact that this is the only gospel to contain the story of Jesus' paying the temple tax (17:24-27). The account of Matthew's call to discipleship uses the apostolic name Matthew rather than the name Levi, used by Mark and Luke (see the lists of apostles in 10:2-4; Mark 3:16-19; Luke 6:13-16; Acts 1:13), and omits "his," used by Mark and Luke, in describing the house where Matthew entertained Jesus at dinner (9:9 —13; compare Mark 2:13-17; Luke 5:27-32). These incidental details may well give telltale indications of Matthean authorship and thus support the early church tradition.
The book is written for use in a New Testament Survey college course or as a supplement in a seminary course on New Testament Introduction. It would also fit well into the local public or church library. Though the size of the book might suggest otherwise, the use of color images throughout would also allow this book to fit well on a coffee table as a conversation starter.

Abstract | Participants were given information for and against the decriminalization of marijuana and discussed the issue in groups. Factors affecting rated importance of information after the group discussion were examined. Participants did not rate information that was mentioned during the discussion as more important than information not mentioned, and participants did not rate shared information they mentioned as more important than unshared information. Participants did rate shared information other group members mentioned as more important than unshared information others mentioned. Participants did not rate their own information as more important than other's information, and information that was repeated was not rated as more important. Participants did perceive information supporting their individual position as more important than information against their position, and this confirmation bias was lessened in groups containing an opinion minority. A comparison of minority and majority members in minority-containing groups found that minority members were more open to information than majority members. |

The children have been painting houses with their dad since they were little. Not in the photo are Paul and John Douzat and Marcelle Gautreaux. Photo provided by CLAIRE WILLIAMS -- Sara Douzat, left, and sister Claire Williams make a bank deposit after a painting job this summer. Advocate staff photo by HEATHER MCCLELLAND -- When Philip Douzat was a boy, just starting to paint houses with his dad, Philip painted this picture of a house on the tailgate of father Jerry Douzat's truck. Photo provided by CLAIRE WILLIAMS -- Philip Douzat, about 10, got pointers from his sisters on one of his first painting jobs about 10 years ago. Photo provided by MARCELLE GAUTREAUX -- Marcelle Gautreaux paints a room in a Marine Corps family's house near Camp Lejeune, N.C. Gautreaux's husband is a Marine pilot. Photo provided by CLAIRE WILLIAMS -- Jerry Douzat, above, began hiring his children, some of them as early as grammar school, to help him paint houses. Advocate staff photo by HEATHER MCCLELLAND -- Jerry Douzat wears his painter's caps until they start to fall apart. He keeps them, he jokes, so that each of his eight children will have a cap when he 'kicks the bucket.' Jerry Douzat taught his kids a lot while teaching them how to paint houses ED CULLEN | Advocate staff writer Feb. 19, 2013 Comments When teacher and house painter Jerry Douzat's children were small, Douzat took them on painting jobs. It let him spend time with his children, and the work, he thought, was good for them. "We've all worked with him from time to time," said daughter Claire Williams, 32. The children, eight of them, used their painting gigs with dad to buy things they might not have been able to buy otherwise and to pay for school. "We're proud we got four through college, three still in and one about to start," Douzat said. "Once they're all through school, I can kick the bucket." "He'd show us how to do something, then he'd come back to check," said Joe Douzat, 30, a Home Depot paint department supervisor. Williams paints to supplement her family's income. Sometimes, she hires her dad who turns 70 in March. "He took all the helpers," said Douzat's wife, Nicole, laughing. "I had the diaper babies." Jerry Douzat fell in love with Nicole Hanikenne, a French-language exchange teacher from Belgium, when he saw her photograph in the Clinton Watchman newspaper in the fall of 1976. "I saw her picture in the Watchman and thought, 'What a beautiful woman,'" said Jerry Douzat, who's 12 years older than his wife. She liked his "honesty, his gentleness. He's a very kind man. He was not one of those brash, macho guys." Jerry Douzat taught with two of the Belgian teachers who'd come to Louisiana with Nicole. He arranged an introduction. "Dad told us momma married him for his money," said Sara Douzat, 26. "I knew he didn't have any money," Nicole Douzat said. Jerry and Nicole Douzat started their family of eight children when he was 36. "He had this whole other life before he started having kids," Williams said. "He tells everyone he's our grandpa. It's his joke." Because Jerry Douzat was older than the fathers of his children's friends, his painting crew looked upon him as an exotic. He was a demanding teacher on the job when the children were small, but he paid well and the hours passed in storytelling and conversation. "His stories start, 'One day, when I kick the bucket,'" Williams said. The children knew their dad abhorred the use of masking tape on the job. "No tape," Jerry Douzat said. "No matter how close you get the tape to the wood (painting trim) paint always gets in there." When he let the children do detail work like painting window sills, they knew they'd been promoted. "If Dad gave you the caulk gun on a job," Williams said, "you knew you were in The Big League." "I like his stories," said Sara Douzat, who's studying graphic design and sculpture at Southeastern Louisiana University in Hammond. Sara Douzat crews with sister Williams and their dad to help pay for college. "Everyone feels their dad is special, but our dad's stories are different," said Sara Douzat. "He said his family was so poor that one Christmas his dad gave him a beautiful piece of wood. That was his Christmas present. I love that." Jerry Douzat was born in Alexandria, the son of Herley Douzat who supervised the construction of saw mills around the state. "I learned to paint painting the houses he built when he was between saw mills," Jerry Douzat said. Jerry Douzat taught for 20 years in Baton Rouge and Clinton. "I had to quit teaching," he said. "We needed the money. I painted in my free time when I wasn't teaching. I made more money just painting." "Always, always, he was in painting clothes," Williams said. "Even around the house. Even when he was teaching, he painted after work. He retired from teaching when I was 9, in about 1989, so I think of him mostly as a house painter." "Working with my kids was a way to spend more time with them," Jerry Douzat said. "I enjoyed being with my dad," Williams said. "Even if it was in the yuckie painting truck. He wouldn't turn on the air conditioner because that used more gas, and you had to listen to AM radio and baseball." "I got pleasure from the camaraderie," Jerry Douzat said. "I knew it would give them something to talk about ... " "When he kicks the bucket," Sara Douzat and Claire Williams chorused. His father's painting standards never dipped, said Clint Douzat, 24, who has a bachelor's degree in business and is studying for his CPA exam. "Parenting? Yes, he changed. The first ones couldn't get away with much. Marcelle and Claire got into trouble for telling someone to shut up. By the time Paul and Philip came along, those weren't such bad words." Like his brothers and sisters, Clint Douzat feels he has something to fall back on should times get tough, but he thinks his painting days are over. Painting houses with his father taught Clint Douzat how to work. "Painting in those hot Louisiana summers teaches you a lot about waking up early and going to work," Clint Douzat said. "When I run into accounting problems," he said, "I know I'm the one who has to make it work. There's a lot of that in painting. You've got an awning way high up, and the ladder only goes so high. That's true in accounting, too." Marcelle Gautreaux, 33, her Marine pilot husband, Brad, and their four children live in North Carolina where Brad is stationed. "My degree's in mass communications advertising," Gautreaux said. "It's hard to have a career when your husband moves around." So, she paints houses. "Someone always needs a house painted," she said. "I provide that service to Marine wives who don't know how to paint or can't paint because they're pregnant." "We all went through our little phases with Dad," she said, "but we wanted to please him because we love him very much. "He doesn't fuss about much," she said. "And he still tells me, 'DFYP' (Don't forget your prayers) when we get off the phone." Brother John Douzat, 28, lives in Lafayette and works for Haliburton in the oil fields. "I started painting with Dad professionally when I was 14," he said. "Before that, I painted when I was really small. I'd take him tools." Later, a big part of painting was staying close to his parents, brothers and sisters. "We'd be going to school or living in different towns. Painting was when we got together as a family," John Douzat said. "It wasn't a relationship where you went in the backyard to throw a baseball," said Paul Douzat, 23. Paul Douzat is in his last year at Our Lady of the Lake College where he's studying surgical technology. "What did I get from painting with him?" Paul Douzat said. "I took on his standards. I want to do things right." Philip Douzat, 21, is studying graphic design at Baton Rouge Community College. "He paid me, so there's that," Douzat said. "And I got a better relationship with him. I learned to cut in trim." Going to school, Philip Douzat needed work more dependable than painting, so he doesn't work with his dad that much, now. "I'm thinking about working with him this weekend," Douzat said. "It depends on whether or not I want to get up that early." Get The Advocate in your inbox Subscribe

TV's Bleak But Bright Future
Reihan Salam links today to a post by UCLA sociologist Gabriel Rossman on the future of television if the cable universe moves to a la carte pricing. Long story short, simple economics suggests that we'll all cut back on the number of channels we subscribe to, which in turn means that we'll end up with both (a) fewer channels and (b) channels with lower production values. I've long thought this was pretty obviously true, and it's what's made me sort of a mushy supporter of a la carte pricing. Still, a supporter I am, and Reihan suggests what will happen if/when this comes to pass:
But this could mean that U.S. viewers will consume more entertainment that is peer-produced, produced overseas, or by institutions that otherwise work outside of the WGA and SAG structure. Quality writing is of course very important, but perhaps quality writers will attach themselves to hyper-realistic animation projects, etc. No more actors! Or rather a somewhat smaller cadre of actors who focus primarily on screen-capture work, and who make middle-class wages rather than outsized sums. There are many, many ways this phenomenon could play out.
Italics mine. For what it's worth, this is what I think is going to happen in the medium term. I'm not sure just how distant this is, but I don't think we're too far away from an era where a single person — or perhaps a small team — can create high-quality, 100% CGI shows that are virtually the equal of what you see today on network TV. Think xtranormal.com but with supercomputers and a crack creative team. Basically, you'll need some good scriptwriters and a few good designers and that's it. Brave new world, eh?

Amway faces boycott over donation to anti-gay group
LGBT rights activist Fred Karger announced Thursday a global boycott targeting the direct-sales giant Amway over its founders contribution to an anti-gay group.
Tax records obtained by Karger show that Amway president and owner Doug DeVos donated $500,000 to the National Organization for Marriage (NOM) Education Fund through his Douglas & Maria DeVos Foundation. I have been closely tracking NOM for over four years, Karger said. NOM always tries to hide the names of its donors and often breaks state election reporting laws in the process. NOM is currently under active investigations for election law violations in Maine and California I imagine NOM leaders Maggie Gallagher and Brian Brown thought that no one would uncover the huge Amway contribution which appears to be the largest family donation to NOM in its history. Only the Catholic Churchs political arm the Knights of Columbus has given more to the Hate Group NOM. http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/08/02/amway-faces-boycott-over-donation-to-anti-gay-group/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+TheRawStory+%28The+Raw+Story%29

2. Amway's owned by right-wing extremists.
They're controlled by the DeVos family.
NEVER do business with AmWay, Quixtar or any of the other MLM scamster pyramid businesses - any money you spend ends up in the pockets of right-wing billionaires. |

3. Besides the fact that scamway is a pyramid scheme, this is another reason
to boycott them. About 15 years ago, someone tried to sell me, as he called it, "the plan" and "the dream." He gave me some audio and video tapes of their rallies. I lost count as to how many times a speaker would say "wives, submit to your husbands when doing this business."

12. the Amway name became hard to sell as so many people caught on to the scam
that they took their name of a lot of their products
those 'products' became something like a separate business or corporation in their own right. also, 'Quixtar' is their online business, ISP, etc. supposedly separate in it's own right as well |

11. Most people boycott Amway because it's overpriced crap
The $250 set of saucepans (you get two--a 2-quart with lid and a 3-quart with lid), $58 dog food (40-lb bag), $9.35 quart of dish soap, $49.79 gallon of diesel engine cleaner (this isn't actually all that outrageous...you're only paying the minimum-wage slave $3.71 to drive to the nearest truck stop, buy four quarts of Howes Meaner Power Kleener, dump it into a gallon jug and stick an Amway label on it)...shall I go on...are proof no one buys Amway shit unless they're in someone's downline or they have a friend they're trying to keep Amway from bankrupting.

13. I joined up around 1998/99
When a friend in the biz had mentioned that they were launching an online web-based biz, (Quixtar) & I was about to enter college.
Him & his higher ups had told me that some of the partners involved would be IBM, Microsoft, etc. (turned out to be lies & half truths..they possibly had a hand in the building and/or managing of the equipment that would host the sites, but never sold products through Amway) Because of college coming up, I had visions of helping to pay for it by being the go-to guy for Microsoft Office at discounts, etc. for my fellow students...nice gig if they had been truthful. I eventually figured out it WAS a MLM pyramid scheme..but also pretty much a bait & switch operation as well. You see..you are NOT buying their stuff wholesale, as much of it is overpriced crap to begin with, so folks don't make a whole lot of money for themselves JUST by selling the products (unless you convinced a gullible army to sign up with you & you get a percentage back from what they buy & sell themselves monthly).. ...the bait & switch scam where the real money was made was by convincing people to go to all the 'business workshops' (that you had to pay to see) & buy all the 'inspirational' tapes, books, videos, etc. from all the 'successful' millionaires in the biz. Needless to say..I got out within a year without losing too much. (helped that I was a struggling student without a whole lot of money to begin with!) Scammy bastards...grr... |

It's A Dry Heat
Don't you love it when a "best-case scenario" actually happens?
That's what happened for the Royals, wrapping up this roadtrip taking two out of three from the Diamondbacks and going four for six overall.
I refer to it as a best-case scenario for two reasons. Entering this roadtrip it was generally known that:
1) Lima would start one game. (Expected loss)
2) J.P. Howell would make his major league debut (Could have been a loss, but was a win.)
Unfortunately, the Royals non Lima-related loss came from the inability of Zack Greinke to get anyone out on Friday night. There has been much speculation over the weekend as to what is happening to our young pitching prodigy. Is it injury? Is it stuborness? One of the more plausible theories comes from Clark at the excellent OP-ED Page who is convinced Greinke is tipping his pitches. Entirely possible. But the problem is, if young Zack has been tipping his pitches, it didn't begin on Friday night. Check out his numbers from his last five starts:
Date | Opp. | IP | H | ER | BB | K |
5/20 | vs. StL | 5 | 9 | 6 | 1 | 3 |
5/25 | At TEX | 5 | 6 | 4 | 3 | 4 |
5/31 | Vs. NY | 5 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 2 |
6/05 | Vs. TEX | 4.1 | 10 | 7 | 0 | 3 |
6/10 | At ARI | 4.1 | 15 | 11 | 2 | 2 |
Totals | 5 starts | 23.2 | 43 | 31 | 9 | 14 |
That's an 11.79 ERA.
I don't know what's more troubling. That Greinke is tipping his pitches or that it will have taken the Royals braintrust at least five starts before they figured out that's what he was doing.
Lost in all the fuss over our young prodigy was a potentially epic comeback Friday night. Down nine runs and all but left for dead, the Royals once again gallantly battled back to tie the game and force extra frames. We will remain stubborn on the issue of Buddy Bell, but we will acknowledge this team has shown more fight over the last two weeks than we have seen in the previous two years. And that is a very good thing.
Before the Buddy Bell hire, we had used this space time and again to speak of our admiration for Royals General Manager Allard Baird. But frankly, since the Bell decision, some of the luster had gone. The latest criticism coming from the decision to option (and possibly lose via a waiver claim) Ryan Jensen and the call up of J.P. Howell to start on Saturday.
Well, apparently Allard does know best.
Jensen clears waivers before ultimately returning to the big club due to an injury to Steve Stemle. He goes to the bullpen as a reliever.
But best of all was the debut of Howell. We have to admit, we were skeptical with the latest decision to rush a prospect through the minor league system. Lacking a single, dominant pitch, Howell is, by all accounts, a pitcher who relies on control to get batters out. Obviously, the margin for error is much less the higher you progress and he had only made one start at Omaha for crying out loud.
Tip of the cap to J.P. Howell for making us look the fool.
Howell was awesome in his major league debut, throwing five innings, allowing four hits and best of all…striking out eight batters. It seemed the Diamondbacks were having troubling picking up his pitches. It probably didn't matter since his pitches were dancing on the corners, never seeming to catch the heart of the plate. If you are a Royals fan (and if you're reading this, you probably are) I hope you were in front of the television or your computer on Saturday night. It was, as they used to say, "Must See TV." Oh, if you didn't get to see Howell in action, his next scheduled start is next Friday, against another UT alum…Roger Clemens.
Don't you just love happy endings?
There was another happy ending on Sunday when the Royals scored six runs in the 12th to take the game 9-4. Three times in extra innings, the Royals got their leadoff man on base. And three times in extra innings, the Royals took the lead. Yes, it was frustrating that Jensen couldn't hold the lead, but credit to him for maintaining his composure after giving up the leadoff homerun to Craig Counsell in the tenth and the tying triple to Quinton McCracken in the eleventh.
And we would be remiss not to take note of yet another strong starting performance from the current ace of the staff, D.J. Carrasco. Carrasco got into a bit of hot water in the fourth and wiggled out of another jam in the sixth. You just had a feeling after the last two nights, Sunday's game would turn into a pitching duel. Carrasco and Diamondback starter Brandon Webb did not disappoint.
After a wild weekend of baseball check out some of these offensive numbers posted by the Royals:
28 Runs
46 Hits
Yes, the Royals bats were warming up, out in the desert.
The Royals return home this week for three against the Dodgers and three against the Astros.
And be sure to check back Tuesday for some more analysis of the Royals hot bats.

The problem is not that easy to solve genreally within MySQL. If MySQL did some rounding when doing comparisons you will get problems with queries like: SELECT * from table_name WHERE floating_point_value > 0 and SELECT * from table_name WHERE floating_point_value = 0 The same row will be found in both of the above queries ! (This is even more serious than the original problem) Note that if you declare your column as: amount decimal(10,2) This means that the stored value will be exact. This doesn't guarantee that the sum() of the values will be exact or even that a comparison of type: select * from table where amount = 10.95 will find any rows. This is because 10.50 is here given as an floating point value, which is not an exact value for a computer. (MySQL for example calculates sum() with double precision) I shall add to crash-me a test how different databases solves this, but I fear the result is as it's in other languages: You should never compare a floating point value with = Regards, Monty PS: If anyone can give me a set of rules that solves this and will ALWAYS work, I am more than happy to implement these. I have thought about defining the comparison for fixed floating point values to: floor(value1 * 10^decimals) op floor(value2 * 10^decimals) but this will only shift the precision and give other problems with larger decimal values.

Erie CanalEdit This Page
From FamilySearch Wiki
United States Migration Canals New York Erie Canal
The Erie Canal in New York allowed boats from New York City on the Hudson River to reach rural upstate New York and Lake Erie. Eventually the Great Lakes were also connected to the Ohio River and Mississippi River systems by other canals. As canals developed in America settlers were attracted to nearby communities because the canals provided access to markets. They could sell their products at distant markets, and buy products made far away. If an ancestor settled near a canal, you may be able to trace back to a place of origin on a connecting waterway.Contents |
Historical Background
The construction of the Erie Canal began in 1817 and in 1819 the first 15-mile (24 km) section, Rome to Utica opened. As more Irish laborers arrived the pace of construction picked up and overcame significant barriers. For example, during summer construction in a marsh, 1,000 workers died of swamp fever, so survivors were moved to another part of the canal until winter when it was safer to work in the frozen marsh. Sections of the canal opened as follows:
- 1819 Rome to Utica
- 1820 Utica to Syracuse
- 1823 Brockport to Albany (Champlain Canal connecting the Hudson River to Lake Champlain was completed at the same time)
- 1824 Lockport locks
- 1825 Onondago Ridge finishing the entire canal.
The Erie Canal contributed to the wealth and importance of New York City, Buffalo, and New York State. It increased trade throughout the nation by opening eastern and overseas markets to Midwestern farm products and enabling migration to the West. New ethnic Irish communities formed in towns along the canal, as Irish immigrants were a large portion of labor force involved in its construction.[1] ((|FHL181733|title-disp=Family History Libary Catalog))
Canal Route
The Erie Canal connects the the Hudson River (and New York City) with Lake Erie. It follows the Mohawk River Valley west from Albany, New York to reach toward Buffalo, New York. Some of the communities on the Erie Canal from east to west include:
- Albany
- Troy
- Schenectady
- Fonda
- Herkimer
- Utica
- Rome
- Syracuse
- Lyons
- Palmyra
- Rochester
- Albion
- Lockport
- Buffalo
Counties east to west:
Settlers and Records
Because so many immigrants traveled on the canal, many genealogists would like to find copies of canal passenger lists. Unfortunately, apart from the years 1827-1829, canal boat operators were not required to record or report passenger names to the New York State government. Those 1827-1829 passenger lists survive today in the New York State Archives.[2]
Prior to the building of the Erie Canal the settlers in upstate New York were often from New England, especially Vermont. Once the Canal was finished, setters along the canal and farther west into Ohio would have reached the Erie Canal from New York City, or from along the Hudson River in New York, or from Vermont via the Champlain Canal. Most of the men who labored to build the Erie Canal were from Ireland and many of them settled near it.

Diamond Princess Cruise Review by JMR_46: Amazing Cruise Vacation

Compare Prices on Diamond Princess Australia & New Zealand Cruises
Amazing Cruise Vacation
My husband and I had an amazing vacation on the Diamond Princes. A week or so before our cruise, we were notified that the Norovirus had struck about 60 passengers on the ship and that a full cleaning of the ship would take place before we embarked. That was probably a blessing, as when we embarked, we were impressed on how many "Prell" dispensers were around and as our vacation began, we were happy to see that the crew was dishing out our meals at the buffet. Great start to solving the spread of disease. Good prevention measure. Prell dispenses for everyone to use as plates and silverware were handed to us individually by a crew member.
I will not go into great detail as to our everyday activities, as cruising to us is the ideal vacation, and we take advantage of all the ship has to offer.
We met some wonderful people. We were treated with the utmost respect and kindness by every single crew member, and were given updates as needed as far as time, weather, ports, More
One of the things that really impressed us was the decision the Captain made to avoid a storm at sea and as a result, we missed a port, but in the end, we sailed with the least impact from the storm as possible. Even traveling 150 miles north of the storm, we had 27 foot swells, so we could only imagine had we hit the storm head on. I did feel ill after dinner, but never actually got sick. People all around were so helpful and suggested we call Medical. We did and the came to our room immediately. Turned out I was suffering from Vertigo, and lying down took care of it all. But the response was amazing and I greatly appreciated it.
The big screen TV on deck was one of my favorite things, as well as the Casino. We enjoyed Bingo, but I was a bit disappointed when the next number that would have been called had not someone won the $2200 jackpot would have been mine, and the fact that my husband lost a $500 tournament by one chip, but the fun of the games and the entertainment by the crew was wonderful.
The atrium entertainment was relaxing and we loved every minute we spent there.
Of course, pictures and internet are there to make money, however, I think they were a bit overpriced. I believe that lower the price, sell more, make more, but that is just our opinion.
All in all, we were thrilled with our vacation, with the activities on the Diamond Princess, the food was sensational, the service divine and we would not hesitate to book with Princess for our next cruise.
Our room steward was the kinds, friendlies young man and showed concern when I was not feeling well. He was so pleasant and the room was kept spotless all the time thanks to him. Less

Cabin review: E622
Room was great. Spacious with enough room for our clothing and luggage and we did not regret getting the obstructed view room as if we want to see out, we go out on the deck anyway. The window gave us plenty of light and we were happy with the size for the price. Mattresses were ok, though I have had better on another cruise line.
Disappointing experience
Well we enjoyed it

AutomationPeer.GetNameCore Method
When overridden in a derived class, is called by GetName.
Namespace: System.Windows.Automation.Peers
Assembly: System.Windows (in System.Windows.dll)
You can think of this value as a string that UI Automation clients can use to explain or describe the control they are referring to. This property is used by UI Automation clients such as Narrator to tell the user what the control is. For example, a button where the text content is "OK" should return "OK" as its UI Automation Name. A ListBox control that lets users select a color might return "Colors".
Silverlight has default behavior that walks into the automation tree of a control and attempts to find plain text strings in the content, which are then forwarded as the name for UI Automation. However, this behavior is not implemented at this level. For more information, see Silverlight Accessibility Overview or FrameworkElementAutomationPeer.GetNameCore.
As part of general application support for accessibility, make sure that you have a valid UI Automation Name for all controls in the graphical user interface (GUI) so that accessibility tools such as screen readers can refer to each control in a localized manner. In some cases, a UI Automation Name can be composited by the control's peer behavior, but in other cases it is necessary to specify instance values for UI Automation Name by applying the AutomationProperties.Name attached property.
Notes to InheritorsThe initial implementation is empty.
For a list of the operating systems and browsers that are supported by Silverlight, see Supported Operating Systems and Browsers.

All disease is defined by its symptoms.
All symptoms are defined, produced by biological functions.
All functions are produced by biological structures (organs, glands, bones, blood, etc.).
The body digests, transforms food, nutrients into blood into structure into function, into health or disease
Disease> symptoms> functions> structures> blood> food
Plantar Fasciitis is a common disease that usually occurs after age fifty.
It's major symptom is excruciating pain in the heels and is sometimes associated with heel (calcaneus) spurs. The plantar fascia are the ligaments and other tissues (fascia) that hold the heel to the the foot, including its two balls. The foot is not one bone but many. The tibia, lower leg bone connects to the foot via the talus, which is connected, attached to the calcaneus (heel) and navicular bones. The lower part of the calcaneus is also attached to the navicular. The navicular bone connects to the rest of the foot's bones.
Ligaments connect bone to bone. Tendons connect ligaments to muscles. The contraction and expansion, relaxation of the muscles tightens and loosens the tendons, which in turn, move the bones.
When the plantar fascia become inflamed or loose, intense pain in the heels, occurs usually worse after rising, especially first thing in the morning. It is sometimes associated with heel spurs, mineral accumulations that may or may not produce pain, depending on the severity, size and location.
I personally suffered from this disease, at age 54. Excruciating pain, especially first thing in the morning or after sitting or laying down for any extended period of time. I had it in both heels. It took me 7-8 months to suffer, figure it out and 2-3 additional months to cure, as in 100%, no pain, no recurrence, just long satisfying walks (I walk 2-5 miles per day).
You have to know the whole before you can cure the part (symptom, disease).
The body digests, transforms food, nutrients into blood into structure into function.
FOOD> digestion. absorption> BLOOD> structure> function> health or disease
The bones, tendons, ligaments, nerves, etc. are built, fueled, cleansed and moistened by blood. Blood carries nutrients (building and cleansing) to all the cells, tissues (organs, bones, etc.). Protein and fat build and fuel. Water, sugar, minerals, etc. reduce, cleanse, cool and moisten. The correct amount of blood, building and cleansing nutrients builds and maintains the correct amount of structure (tendons, ligaments, bones, etc.) and function (movement, support, etc.) where the body mind can thrive (health, longevity, pleasure, etc.). The incorrect amounts, too much or too little, in the extreme, weaken, reduce movement and support, holding, etc.) and sicken, pain the body mind, tendons, ligaments, bones, nerves, etc.
Too little, blood, protein and fat deficiency tends to weaken, dry, loosen and inflame the joints, bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments, etc. Blood builds, fuels, moistens, cools, etc. Blood deficiency is generally caused by:
1. Low protein and low fat diets, in the extreme
2. High carbohydrate, vegan and or raw diets, in the extreme
3. Hemorrhage (includes menstruation)
4. Chronic illness, drugs, medication
5. Clogged liver, heart, arteries
Blood, protein and fat deficiency tends to dry, weaken and or loosen the tissues (ligaments, tendons, muscles, organs, etc.) causing pain, heat, inflammation, coldness and numbness, especially in the extremities: head, arms and legs.
Many arthritic (inflammation of the joint) type diseases (Plantar Fasciitis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Fibromyalgia, etc.) can be caused by blood deficiency, which is common among women. Women tend to eat low protein, low fat and high carbohydrate diets. They also tend to menstruate, the combination of which, tends to produce blood deficiency (anemia, thin skin, hair, nails and bones, infertility, miscarriage, short term pregnancy, pain and many autoimmune illnesses. Coffee, caffeine can also be a contributing cause as caffeine is very drying.
Blood stagnation (high cholesterol, arteriosclerosis, cirrhosis, etc.) can also be a cause. This was my case, pathology. Typical male: High protein, high fat, high starch and not enough fruits and vegetables. Despite my "good" diet, it was not good enough to clear the arteries. veins, etc.
All blood passes in and out the liver. The liver stores, cleanses (removes excess protein and fat) and distributes the blood. Protein and fat are thick, sticky nutrients. High protein and high fat diets, in the extreme, clog the liver reducing its functions. More protein and fat, cholesterol, fat pour back into the bloodstream, arteries, veins, heart, liver, etc. More blood (protein, fat, water, minerals, sugar, etc.) passes into the liver (causing it to swell and harden) than out. Blood circulation, especially to the extremities: hands, feet and head is reduced producing pain, weakness, inflammation, Plantar Fasciitis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, etc. in addition to high cholesterol, arteriosclerosis, high blood pressure, etc. Clogged arteries and veins naturally reduce blood flow to the extremities.
Liver pathologies, cures are tough but doable.
1. Reduce protein and fat, especially animal, red meat, eggs, chicken, fish, etc. I ate turkey once a day. Otherwise it was beans (tofu, aduki, etc.), nuts and seeds in addition to rice (white), bread, noodles, 3-5 cooked vegetables (cabbage, raw or cooked, broccoli, kale, cauliflower, celery, onions, carrots, with tops, etc.), spices, especially fennel, fruit (apples), tea (peppermint, chrysanthemum) and herbs (golden seal, gentian, etc.).
Meal plan, two times per day, preferably breakfast and lunch. Dinner no later than 6P.M.
1/3 Protein and fat: beans, nuts, seeds, reduce animal protein and fat (1x per day, turkey)
1/3 Grain: white rice, noodles, bread
1/3 Cooked and or raw vegetables, 3-5, cabbage, celery
Bitter herbs (golden seal), fennel, cumin, turmeric
Fruit: apples
Peppermint tea, water
NO potatoes, tomatoes, eggplant, etc. The nightshade family has been known to exacerbate the symptoms of arthritis.
2. Eat less, smaller meals. Skip and or space the meals. Go hungry. Drink water.
I cured in 2-3 months. Initially I thought I was doomed, getting older (50's), par for the course. The I reasoned it out since my pain wasn't fixed and did seem to get better with movement but still wouldn't cure. Diet was the secret.
Poor diet created poor circulation, clogged liver, arteries, etc. Proper diet corrected, improved circulation, blood pressure, etc. Plantar fasciitis is a function of blood, structure and function and therefore a function of diet, nutrition.

Once everyone is inside area 10:
Beyond the double doors, the large chapel remains just as Kast left it; pews of darkwood lie tipped over and covered in dust and at the far end sits a large ceremonial anvil, but its surface is defaced and ruined. The ceiling soars up at least two stories, though whatever windows there were seem to have been bricked in. Aside from the light of your spells and torches, the room is dark.
Suddenly, like a blanket smothering a fire, something drops from the sky, plunging the room into shadow dim light and darkness.
Kast, whatever dropped seems to also fall upon you, slamming into you from above before sliding off.
Chrystosm, you too are hit from something heavy and leathery falling from above. It nearly wraps you up, but slips off before you can be too tangled in it.
Both: The leathery things have strings or thongs attached, that whip about nearly (but not quite)wrapping around wrists and ankles and necks before they fall away.

Dorial shouts her warning out to Kast and Chrysotsm, but it seems like it's already too late. Now in darkness, she attempts to bring back what light there was.
Unable to see the targets, she prepares herself mentally before casting.

Othoe hesitates for a second surprised to see such a creature so close to the surface.
"They're called darkmantles. They are able to see while we cannot but silence will blind them just as we are. Unfortunately I have no silence spells. These will be very tough opponents in this darkness!"
Unable to see the creature clearly, Othoe moves to his left and casts Ray of Frost down the line.
Ray of Frost 1d20 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (6) + 2 - 4 = 4 (in combat) (touch) with a miss chance 1d100 ⇒ 76 for 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 damage.

Round 1, Darkmantle 1, Init: 14
The flapping, whapping tentacled darkmantle soars up past a startled Kast, then falls upon him again with another slamming attack. This one comes from an angle, as it tries to avoid the now wary and steel waving Chrystosm, but the safety costs him his prey, as he misses Kast to flop onto the floor at his feet (B7).

Round 1, Init 14--
"By Sarenrae's Glittering Teats!!! Not again!!" Kast curses in a fury, before regaining his poise...like a soldier.
Dropping his longspear and drawing his morningstar, Kast strikes at the darkjerk who hit him.
1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10 to hit;
1d8 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12 damage;

Round 1, Darkmantle 2
Dorial thinks quickly, beginning to cast a spell that goes on and on.
Chrystosm stabs wildly, but connects with the greatest luck,stabbing deep into the second Darkmantle's head, making it flop and wobble before it can strike again.
Othoe tries to help, but his magic misses in the dark.
The first darkmantle thwaks and whacks at Kast, but misses him.
Nimeon follows Chrystosm's example and stabs at what passes for the first darkmantle's head, seriously wounding it.
Kast tries to do the same, but falters in the darkened room.
Simon readies to attack if either of the darkmantles comes near his precious friend, but doesn't get an opening to use it.
The second darkmantle flies up, seeking easier prey than the steely stabby Chrystosm, but misses Dorial with its wild flailing.

Dorial finishes casting her spell as a Dire Rat appears in A7, providing a flank for Kast. Her spell finished, she swings her club down on top of the Darkmantle by her side.

Chrystosm wrote:Who wants to coup de grace the darkmantle?Better do it before Simon decides to adopt it. :)
So far he's adopted an animated cauldron and a dwarf skeleton, I don't think wearing a dead darkmantle as a cloak is out of question.

Round 2, Darkmantle 1, Init 14.9
The other Darkmantle lets out a keening cry, reverberating at the top of a human's hearing range. It lashes out at the closest to hand, striking at Kast again. The attack goes wild, a flurry of tentacles with no power behind them.
Slam Attack on Kast: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 51d4 ⇒ 4
Nimeon |
Round 2 Init 14
Weapon Equipped = Longsword

Pity for the creatures loss fails to stay Nimeon's hand as he lashes out.
Longsword Two-Handed: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 81d8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
Distracted by the keening his swing goes wide.
Kast Phaer |
Kast spits and rubs his injured shoulder.
"Damn! What were those things again? Nasty little buggers," Kast says while look for a way to wipe off the darkmantle ichor from his morningstar.
Kast stows his morningstar and retrieves his longspear.
"Well, that didn't go terribly. Let's continue our search of this room and then see if we can make camp here."
1d20 - 1 ⇒ (16) - 1 = 15 Perception

Obviously a meeting hall of some sort, the darkwood pews and the ceremonial anvil have been defaced with crude paint and carvings, but otherwise seem to have stood the test of time well.
The anvil in particular seems well made, and glows faintly with magic. On its top are five oval depressions.
The double doors behind you seem to still be in working order, though there is no lock to them. They open outward, in to the hall. There is another door on the South wall.
GM_Verdigris |
Dorial watches as the Dire Rat disappears from sight.
Soon I will be able to have them stick around longer. Soon...
"Yes, let's finish searching the room."
Dorial helps search the room, keeping an eye towards the ceiling for any other unexpected guests.
Perception: 1d20+8
Though keep a keen eye open for danger, none seems to fall from the sky just now.
Othoe |
Othoe cleans up the darkmantle and puts them out in the hall. He casts Prestidigitation on the heavier areas of gore so that none will roll over into it as we rest.
Then he'll take a look at the magic on the anvil and search the hall.
Detect Magic with Knowledge, Arcana for the school 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10
Perception check 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18
"Maybe we can wedge these pews up against the southern door at least."
Kast Phaer |
1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16 Know (religion)
Kast prods around the anvil.
"This is Toragian...though that shouldn't be a surprise, should it? It's a shame the dwarves had to leave here. This was probably a home to many of them."
Kast pokes around more.
"This place seem secure, right? Them doors open out and we can set watch. Let's get a watch schedule set and make camp. My leg is killing me...not to mention my shoulder. On the morrow, we explore the rest of the place and maybe the storm will have passed."
Simon Shrewsbury |
Simon, sporting his new darkmantle cape complete with hood and eyeholes, volunteers for the first watch.
"Thanks, Othoe, these cleaned up real nice! I'll take the first watch, no one can see me in my special new cloak!" Simon steps about with exaggerated stealth.

laughing....tooo...hard..don't...know what...to...say...
Kast Phaer |
"Yeah, so let's review the watch schedule again, shall we?
Nimeon and Kast, first watch.
Simon and Chrystosm, second watch.
Othoe and Dorial, third watch?"
Kast continues to inspect the altar, finally turning around...
"So, Nimeon and Iiiiiiii...." Kast voice trails off as he sees Simon's new 'cloak'. "Uhm...as I was saying," Kast's eyes flicker to Simon, "As I was saying..." Kast's eyes flicker to Simon again, "Uhm...Simon, maybe you should lie down for a bit."
Kast rubs his forehead with his hand, his words and train of thought lost.
Soldiers worry.
Simon Shrewsbury |
"Well, I suppose I have been a bit tired and would welcome some sleep." Removing the cloak and switching it to a blanket, Simon curls up on the floor with Llwynally curled up in his arms.
Just before he drifts off, his eyes pop back awake. "I still have a healing spell left, Kast, did you need some healing after that battle?"
Simon will use his last healing spell of the day on whoever needs it, CLW: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9
Kast Phaer |
Kast accepts the healing from Simon and spends a few moment testing out his healed shoulder.
"Yeah, thanks Simon, that's much better."
Well, as long as he can do that, he'll be useful. Of course, there is the matter of his free fall into insanity, but one problem at a time.
* * *
Just going to do a bit of during-my-watch RP, feel free to continuing your worry over Simon or working on the altar.
During his watch, Kast will break out one of his half-used journals and continue to describe the events of their quest so far. Starting with the work in the well, to helping the healer, to the mess in the attic, to the hobgoblin hunter (and resultant fox), Simon's progressing illness, the hag's hut, the cauldron of doom, and their first few rooms of this dwarven sanctuary.
Every interesting detail is included and includes some blow by blow accounts of the combat deeds by everyone as Kast remembers them.
Scholars record.
On the 2nd part of his watch, Kast will look through the dwarven books and the books from the hag's den and try to learn and research as much as he can, occasionally getting up to stretch his leg and limp about while his mind works on what he just read.
Scholars read.
Before he turns in for the night and after waking Simon and Chrysto, he will lay his hands upon Chrysto and ask Irori for healing.
Irori, make this one perfect in body so that he might follow your lead.
Cast CLW on Chrystosm. 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9 healing
Kast will also lay his hands upon the fox.
Irori, make this fox perfect so that it, in turn, may help heal Simon's mind and soul.
Cast CLW on the fox. 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9 healing
Othoe |
Weapon Equipped = Dagger
Conditions = none
Arcane Bond = infernal healing
Force Missile = 1/6
Wizard Spells Remaining:
0) Detect Magic, Prestidigitation, Ray of Frost
Before bedding down for the night, Othoe stands a little away from the others and quietly casts Infernal Healing on himself to heal the last of his injuries. He does so using his arcane bond.
"Good night everyone. Rest easy."
