I have been intrigued lately with the topic of runaway slaves. I research the Prather family in Montgomery County, Maryland and recently discovered that one of the Prathers I am tracking ran away and was picked up in DC in 1858. I guess that started it all. I pulled out my copy of "Runaway Slaves: Rebels on the Plantation" by John Hope Franklin and Loren Schweninger, which is probably the most complete study to date. I also purchased a book recently called "Blacks Who Stole Themselves" (what a great title, right?) that I first saw at the Library of Congress. This book features advertisements from the Pennsylvania Gazette for runaways from 1728-1790. Many of the runaways are from Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey & Virginia. I have a good friend who has a doctorate in African-American History and we talk alot about this. He opened my eyes one day–we were talking about Lincoln "freeing" the slaves. And he said to me, "NO, the slaves freed themselves. They ran away in such large numbers during the Civil War that they forced the issue to be confronted." I was (and still am) fascinated by this perspective.
I keep thinking about what it must have been like to run away and have no concept of where to go. No maps. To risk your life over and over again (many of the runaways have a history of running away). To go into the woods with your baby. To leave your children. To not be able to read or write, or have anything else than the knowledge that you were born free and have a right to freedom, and will do anything to attain it. I wonder constantly if I could have done that. I think about how awful it must have been. I don't know how they survived. Nothing but the grace of God.
As I read over these runaway ads (which are a terrific source for finding slaveholders) I want to share some of the things that stood out to me. In general, in each ad, there is a listing of where, when and who they ran away from,the slave's age and name, a detailed description of their clothing, usually comments about their personality, physical looks and perhaps occupation. The ads are very telling on several levels, especially the view of the slaveholder or white majority society's impression of blacks/slaves. Here's a list of things and specific ads that resonated with me:
- the large number of runaways who are described as having what are likely African or African-inspired markings: holes in their ears and noses, scars on their faces and foreheads
- the description of many that are "new to this country", "country-born", "lately arrived from Barbados"(or Angola, or Guinea, or Dominica) and many who " do not speak English"
- many are described as "Spanish negroes" or "Spanish mulattoes"
- the description of their personalities as: cunning, sly, complaisant, sour, impudent, bold, artful, smooth-tongued, surly, sour, sensible, talkative, shy, well-spoken, lusty (what in the world does that mean?)
- many are described as having "been much cut" on their backs, by "often whipping"
- some ran away in groups of 2-5 people, comprised of women and men, sometimes even with white indentured servants
- several ads discuss the runaway having Indian blood, one even saying "he can talk Indian very well".
- many of the ads mention the slaves having brass or pewter buckles on their shoes, which I assume would have stood out because that was a rare commodity
- several of the slaves could read and write, and the ads talked about how they are "pretending to be free" ,"will pretend to be searching for a master", "is almost white", and could easily "write themselves a pass"
- the fear of freed blacks (particularly in Philadelphia) is evident in that many ads purport that the runaway is "being hidden by freed blacks
- "'tis' supposed he is being harbored by some base white woman, as he has contracted intimacies with several of that sort"
- "the said negroe is named Jupiter, but it is thought he may likely call himself by his negroe name, which is Mueyon, or Omtee"
- "he is a short, thick fellow, limps with his right knee, and one of his buttocks is bigger than the other" (I'm just trying to picture that;))
There are a few websites which have undertaken the goal of documenting runaway slave ads. There's Maryland's Underground Railroad website, which includes runaway ads, and the University of Virginia's project. There's also a site for Baltimore County, MD and The Geography of Virginia website. Check them out if you get a chance. My friend Michael Hait did a good article on the genealogical value of runaway slave ads awhile ago. I love this short article at Yale University about analyzing runaway slave ads, which was really interesting.
Let me know your thoughts, family, if you found any relatives you are researching in runaway ads, or if you just found something interesting worth sharing.
I am so proud of the fact that slaves constantly resisted the system of slavery, with dedication and perseverance. I dedicate this post to a slave who ran away in 1759: "…a negro man named Caesar, he has both his legs cutoff and walks on his knees."
Can you imagine? That one took my breath away. Caesar demanded his freedom so badly he would run way with no legs. Simply astounding.

Nothing like it's pictured
This wig looks nothing like it's pictured. There's no way you could ever get it to look like the picture. It's way too short to get the bang and volume that it shows.

It was shorter than I had anticipated.
By LD
from Indianapolis, IN
I rue the day that Sabrina was discontinued. Manhattan has that annoying spiral cowlick that seems popular in wig styles currently. It usually stands straight up like Alfalfa. I would order Milan, but color choices are too limited. I also entered the $10.00 off code, which appeared on my statement online but was charged to me with my accompanying statement.

Comments on Manhattan wig

About Me Beauty Conscious
The color had more red than the picture of Honey Blond, but looks ok for me. I was able to curl the cowlick center so it does not show, however the rest of the wig does not curl well. Not exactly what I had hoped for but looks fairly well.

By Foxie lady
from Brampton, Ontario, Canada
color was not as advertised in book. It was far too dark. I liked the style and fit but color did not suit me at all. Delivery and taxes almost as much as the wig and takes far to long to do an exchange. Other wigs that I have bought I have had much better luck with and wear them every week. althou the taxes charged are high. The Canadian governments no longer have a PST and a GST tax they have been combined as a GST @ 13%

Looks Nothing Like Picture
By Judy
from Cincinnati, OH
I took this wig to my hair sylist along with the picture and she said there is no way to make it look like the picture. Way to short and can not be styled at all. I thought once I washed it, it would look better but did not. I will not even wear it...total waste of my money and I am very sad because I have bought many wigs from Paula Young and by far this has been the worst.

I have to wear a wig as a hair replacement and have been buying from Paula Young for many years the last wig was a waste of money even the stylist could do nothing with it so there went my money for nothing. I have ordered two more wigs in the last week lets hope they are better than Manhattan.

The ASPCA is offering a $1,500 reward for information leading to an arrest in a shocking cruelty case in Kinston, North Carolina, involving rabbits. The victims were allegedly skinned alive, and one was also decapitated. This reward is in addition to the $1,000 currently being offered ($500 by the Lenoir County SPCA and $500 by a private donor).
"This is an unconscionable case of violent abuse that was committed with an extremely high level of depravity," says Stacy Wolf, Senior VP of the ASPCA's Anti-Cruelty Group. "While our ultimate hope is that these types of heinous acts never occur, we hope that the rewards being offered serve as a message that cruelty toward animals will not be tolerated in our society. We thank the Lenoir County SPCA and local authorities for their commitment to finding justice for these two innocent rabbits."
Anyone with information on this case is asked to call the Kinston Public Safety Tips Line at (252) 939-4020.
Please be vigilant in your community and report suspected animal abuse. Visit our Fight Cruelty section to learn which agencies are responsible for investigating and enforcing anti-cruelty laws in your area.

awh these poor bunnies... id like to point out that they do the same thing in the fur industry to dogs bunnies and minks and seals ..... it sickens me that we as humans dont find this grotesque abuse and ban it from any practice in our culture
I know these 2 fur babies are hopping around Rainbow Bridge Happily & Healthy now. Hate the fact that they did have to suffer & Pray the ignorant abusers are brought to justice. If not on this earth...... they will be Judged !
Be wary. people (if you can call them that), they are really monsters, will mostly grow up to do similar or worse things to humans!
People like this do not deserve to be on this earth.I will NEVER understand why people hurt defenseless animals. I guess it must make them feel pretty big .They are scum,and should stay in jail for the rest of their life!
I think the world is full of sick freaks, we are living amongst them. I hope karma strikes these weirdos with some kind of slow painful cancer or there are die a slow painful death in a horrific car accident. Jail just isn't enough for these psychotic losers.
I pray they find this / these serial killer minded people. I'm sorry for these poor animals.
I agree with Angel. I had a pet rabbit and they are so gentle and fun, his name was Rusty-Rabbit. He died years ago but I still think of him every day. I picture someone doing this to my Rusty-Rabbit that had the chance to die of old age and it makes me sick. What is wrong with the world !!!!!
Its is freaking crazy
But .... We should start with fur producers !
Breeders for fur animals do that all the time -alive skinned meand better loooking fur !!!!!!! No holes etc!!!! Close all fur factories !!!!
there really needs to be something done to enforce strict penalties on animal cruelty, a slap on the wrist and a fine does nothing to these sick "people" who insist on hurting animals of all species for there enjoyment. any person who hurts a animal needs to die, they are a waste of space, air and food.... get rid of them!!!

Is very important to invasion in the list of restricted, because it is a very unbalanced card…
Played with ancient map has a high chance of burning an area immediately…
Combining this with a fast deck, the game ends in three shifts…

It's a good card, but it doesn't need to be restricted. Put a unit on it. Orcs don't have a lot of ways to take it off.

The card Snotling Invasion has to be put in restricted as soon as possible. As now it's too hard.

Lobber Crew, Blood Dragon Knight, Smash 'Em!, Troll Vomit? No, really, we're sure that Orcs have no removals?
In Invasion, units have 1 (or 2) P and 2 (or 3) Hit Point on average. In 4 turns (if unit have 1 P) or 3 turns (if unit have 2 P), you can't remove a unit?
People, this Quest must become Unique.
Posted 29 March 2013 - 06:58 AM
Single quest against an opponent with good draw achives nothing and Orcs don't have other cards to benefit from hand destruction. It's funny how people weren't posting formal petitons when Orc could win on 2 or 3 turn using infinity indirect damage loop, but are now about quest that can be ever considered broken only if you get 2 on 1 turn.
Posted 29 March 2013 - 07:57 AM
A similar thread is kicking around here somewhere about how Forest Dragon is an extremely powerful card. Sometimes cards seem strong and it just isn't true. The orcs can be a pain in the ass, they have a lot of weapons, but Snotling Invasion is not the best of those weapons. This doesn't help you at all, since you're probably seeing a ton of Snotling Invasion's being played and feeling sad, so here's one solution:
Play Orcs all the time, play War Boar, play Pillage/Burn it Down on the Snotling Invasions. Put high power orcs on the Snotling Invasions. Play developments in the zone with the Snotling Invasions.
That way, in a meta that's crazy about Snotling Invasion you have an answer. There are other answers since Snotling Invasion isn't actually that threatening.

Virgo: You are a designer? or have close relationships with designers?
No, I'm not. I'm admin of polish forum.
If you mostly play orcs and orc rush decks on top of that you may come to the conclusion that: omg snotling invasion+spider riders is just OP. I've played games where I dropped 2 snotling invasions on turn 1-2 and still lost them. Or I only won because of them. Against HE once Mage of Loec comes out you are generally screwed. You can't trigger actions and only thing you can do is just rush flooding battlefield with units. If you only have to burn one zone (the first was destroyed by two early snotling invasions) you may succeed, otherwise it's almost impossible.
Do what HappyDD suggested. Play other races and you will find out that meta right now is almost perfect.

HUH?!? Didn't Worlds come down to HE vs. HE? I know changes have been made since then…but to say that HE's don't have viable decks is a bit on the loony tunes side. No?
Posted 01 April 2013 - 08:53 PM
Wensdeil, so far you have two persons on your side. Probably they are from around your area It has been argued with Orc removal effects: Nobody plays Smash 'Em!, Blood Dragon Knight is difficult for its cost and also counters with Mob o' Hutz and Lobber Crew is not targeting. Except for Troll Vomit it really is kind of difficult for Orc to safely remove a unit from Snotling Invasion.
It has been argued for restriction of Snotling Invasion: There have got to be 2+ cards on the restricted list in order to achieve some kind of balance. What other Orc card could be restricted? Somebody wished Troll Vomit on the list once, but it does not solve your personal problem wensdeil. I could still build a deck with 3x Invasions, 3x Spider Riders and 3x Ancient Map. So, maybe Spider Riders should be on the list or even Ancient Map aswell, but the first one would be too a big nerf for orc and the second one would be unfair for the other races. Conclusion: Restriction is not a real option. If this problem was a real thing (which it is not according to experienced players that have answered this thread…), making the card uniqe would be the right choice.
Why it should not be uniqe: Because such a deck, that has been described now multiple times, but has not been shown to us (deckbox link) a single time, would be absolutely 100% sure beatable and balanced. I have once tested a deck a couple of times, that enterily focused on the use of snotling invasion. It had Long Winter and also 3x Ancient Map in it, aswell as some rush components to support a real quick damage output. It did not work… Because, in fact… You will not believe what iam saying to you right now: There were Hands with no Snotling Invasion and no Ancient Map on it either, even after Mulligan. But also hands with 2 Invasions for a start got beat down some times. The deck had a normal win/loss ratio.
Dwarves for example (ok, it is the best example): They beat the hell out of rush and snotling invasion. Simply bulding up a strong economy and throwing out some early demolitions, they can quickly recover from troll vomit and other orcish control elements, come out on top and just overpower your forces. By throwing down additional developments and being able to put down units with 3 power on snotling invasions they can really be a pain in the ***. Dwarves have everything to care a **** for snotling invasion.
Want another example? Sure, here we go with dark elves: Rushing? No way… Temple of Spite will instantkill every 1hp unit and this way block your hand. Pleasure cults will then go ahead and allow your units to rest one turn before starting an attack. A whole round of relaxing does not seem so bad at first, but within this one turn your battlefield units are undergoing an additional risk of getting murdered, abducted, raped, corrupted and sacrificed. So what else do Orcs have to counter Pleasure Cults? Do i have to play with War Boar and Pillage in order to get rid of a cost 1 quest by paying 5 with this combination? I could still attack with Rip dere 'Eads Off! but it is difficult to say if 2-3 attacks with one single unit will be sufficient. Chillwind is out there aswell as Sacrifice to Khaine and other crazy stuff. Seriously: If Orc would not have Snotling Invasion, they would probably do less then a **** against Dark Elves with fast pleasure cults. So this seems fair to me.
You always have to see such problems in the light of the whole meta. Don't think of a counter for a single card, but think of other strengths and weaknesses to use against it. Otherwise there would be a ton of imba cards. Some are just damn good.
Before i will give you my final answer on this, again: We can offer you to take a look on the Orc deck or the deck you want to beat it with (best both) and give some useful hints.
Restricted/Uniqe Snotling Invasion?
Posted 02 April 2013 - 12:40 PM
Posted 02 April 2013 - 08:21 PM
So, what do you want?
1) Do you think Snotling Invasion is too strong as a single card and building decks with it is too easy?
2) Or do you think a deck with Snotling Invasion, Ancient Map etc. is too strong?
If 1), let me tell you that orc deck building in general might be one of the more difficult things in this game, at least when it comes down to control decks. Let them have the simple way with rush decks and Snotling Invasion, there is nothing wrong with giving beginners some strong deck. Besides, there are many other simple but strong decks possible with the other races too. And there will be a gap among beginners and professionals still. With single cards being too strong… just search this forum and find tons of petitions and whines about too strong cards. Everyone has his favourites
If 2)… well, just no! Such a deck is too focused on rush and also depends too much on having snotling invasion on the starting hand. And as already described, dwarves will deal with it just fine and i think dark elves too.

Here is an Odd/Even orc deck running Snottling Invasion that was the number that went undefeated before top 8. It was built by Adam Daulton and ran by Patrick Olmstead. It lost in the first round of top 8 to Adam with his Brayherd Chaos deck.
Some of us were talking durring the match about the card and most that played against it ageed it should be unique or limited at the very least. I personally didn't go up aganst it, but after hearing a lot of the stories about how easy and devistating it was to get 3 of them going at once (especially with the addition of ancient map), I think I lean toward it being limited now.

When he's offered a job as private investigator to re-open the case of a painter due to be hanged for a murder he didn't commit, Sandman readily acceptsas much for the money as for a chance to see justice done in a country gone to ruins.
Soon, however, he's mired in a grisly murder plot that keeps thickening.

Re: Guilty Pleasure Bands
I don't have any guilty pleasures when it comes to music. I wave my flags proud because I'm very eclectic when it comes to music, and I nor any of you should be ashamed of any of the bands/artists you've listed.
I happily listen to Britney Spears and Fall Out Boy :)

Re: Guilty Pleasure Bands
Yep I have no guilty pleasures either. I love fall out boy.
Re: Guilty Pleasure Bands
Oh the list for me would take up too much space lol! I'll just name a few.
Lady GaGa(hehe)
Black Eyed Peas
Elton John
Duran Duran(that shouldn't surprise anyone that knows me)
The Dixie Chicks(lol..are still together?)
Skid Row
Justin Timberlake
There's way too many to name and they're all on different spectrums on the music line. That's what I don't understand about some people. How they can be so closed minded on music. They automatically HATE everything, but maybe a couple bands or certain members of bands. *scratches head.
Re: Guilty Pleasure Bands
Justin Timberlake
LOVE JT! lol we should go to a show. hahah

You know, I DO like Justin Timberlake. I didn't want to LOL but when he came out with his solo stuff I couldn't help it. I think he's hysterical, too. I haven't seen everything he's done on SNL, but I love the Omeletteville skit....
Re: Guilty Pleasure Bands
Well i have to admit my musical tastes have varied over the years, from rock to country to classical to...it goes on and on, so there are many "guilty pleasures" but one song i really like when I am about to give up on this life:
The Notting Hillbillies (Mark Knopfler Band) - Feel Like Going Home
If you don't listen to the words you're only hearing half the music!

I'm really not one of those who dare not to admit to liking music, I was until I hit adulthood and then didnt give a fuck what people thought of me) a lot of these were from vinyls back in the day and 45's and I could go on and on really but I've just had a brain fart and can't think of anyone else right now. I'm sure more will come to me right after I submit this.
If these are guilty pleasure bands or not, I don't care who judges them. They're stiil good bands to me.

I wouldn't call any music that I like a guilty pleasure, it just shows how open-minded I am with music! :) I like all kinds of music. I love indie, rap, metal, rock, classical, oh there's not much I won't listen to.. I hate country though, that's the one genre I just can't stand. Something about it makes me want to cut my ears off.

This is the 6th time I've ordered from magnet street and would not go anywhere else! Flawless work every time. I will definitely be back.
Beautiful Birth Announcement
The Announcements that I ordered for the birth of my first grandson were beautiful. The color and texture of the cards were very good quality and they came in a very reasonable amount of time. And the picture we submitted was very clear. I have ordered Bridal Shower Invites, Wedding Invites, Baby Shower Invites as well as the Birth Announcements and everyone raved about how beautiful they were. I'm not usually one to order things on line, but I have been very pleased with everything I ordered and will definitely order from you again.

9/5/13 Lamar Odom in Rehab
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Thursday, September 5, 2013
ALYSSA MILANO dropped a fake SEX TAPE for Funny or Die.com, in which she accidentally kicks the camera while she's trying to film herself getting it on with some dude . . . and it ends up facing a TV on which a newscaster is discussing the conflict in Syria.
CLINT EASTWOOD'S impending divorce just got a little more complicated. His estranged wife DINA is reportedly back together with a high school boyfriend, and Clint is nailing the guy's ex-wife. It's not clear which relationship started first.
"In Touch Weekly" says that 43-year-old -GWEN STEFANI is pregnant again. If this is true, the child in her paper-thin womb will be the third for Gwen and her husband GAVIN ROSSDALE, who's 47.
LAMAR ODOM has reportedly entered rehab. Details are scarce, but a source says, quote, "He realized he needs help." We have no idea where he went or how long he plans to stay . . . but he was seen in public this past weekend, so he must have just gone in within the past few days.
No big shocker here: KANYE WEST and KIM KARDASHIAN are already spoiling their newborn daughter North. According to "OK!" magazine, the kid already has twenty $800 cashmere blankets, a 1,300-square-foot nursery and a photographer who comes to take pictures of her twice a week. Oh, and she also owns a tiara and a $200,000 ruby pendant.
Forbes.com has put out their list of The Highest-Paid TV Actresses. "Modern Family" star SOFIA VERGARA is #1, with $30 million in earnings over the past year. KALEY CUOCO and MARISKA HARGITAY were a distant second, with $11 million apiece.
9/4/13 Miley Says She Made History
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Wednesday, September 4, 2013
SIMON COWELL has been talking lately about feeling "paternal" and being excited for the birth of his baby. But he's not excited about EVERYTHING. One thing he's not looking forward to is diaper changing. He says, quote, "I'm not doing that, 100% absolutely not going near that!"
MILEY CYRUS claims everyone is overreacting to her "VMA" performance, and says she "didn't even think about it" when she was doing it. But she totally contradicts herself when she says, quote, "You're wanting to make history. Me and Robin [Thicke] the whole time said, 'You know we're about to make history right now.'"
According to a new poll conducted by "60 Minutes" and "Vanity Fair", PRINCESS DIANA is the celebrity we'd most like to bring back from the dead. And actually she was the runaway winner. Diana got 35% of the vote, followed by STEVE JOBS with only 14%. MICHAEL JACKSON and WHITNEY HOUSTON tied for third with 11%. HEATH LEDGER got 9%, KURT COBAIN got 6% and JAMES GANDOLFINI got 3%.
KOURTNEY KARDASHIAN did a meet-and-greet at the Mirage Hotel in Las Vegas over the weekend. But what a lot of fans didn't know when they showed up was that they had to pay $150 PER PERSON to meet her. In fact, they were already in line for HOURS before someone came out and handed them flyers informing them of the fee. Those who actually paid it said they were rushed in and out so quickly, it was barely worth it. One woman who took her two kids to meet Kourtney was NOT happy. She claims she even called the day before and was told she didn't have to pay to meet Kourtney. She says, quote, "Don't they have enough money? . . . I'm not a fan anymore."
A drug dealer in New York City says Lamar Odom spent $50,000 on cocaine in three years. The dealer says he witnessed Odom use the drug on 10 occasions since 2010 when Lamar visited Queens in New York where he grew up. The man says Odom likes to party and his drug problem is getting worse.
9/3/13 Kim K Posing Nude?
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Tuesday, September 3, 2013
KIM KARDASHIAN may be ready to take her clothes off for us again. On an upcoming episode of "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" . . . filmed while she was still pregnant . . . Kim says, quote, "As soon as I pop this thing out, I want to do 'Playboy' or some nude shoot." Kim posed for "Playboy" in 2007 . . . and when they re-printed the photos in 2010, she wasn't happy. At the time she said, quote, "I'm sorry I did 'Playboy'. I was uncomfortable." On a related note, KRIS JENNER admits in a future episode that she and her husband BRUCE made a SEX TAPE.
The website Hollyscoop.com has put together a list of Stars Who Used to Be Strippers. Some of them might surprise you. The list includes . . .
Channing Tatum
Brad Pitt (As a student at the University of Missouri, he was a member of a group called the DANCING BARES.)
Lady Gaga (She was stripping at the age of 18.)
Catherine Zeta-Jones (She did it briefly, and only to earn enough money for a nose job.)
Javier Bardem (He did it once, when he was 20.)
Just days after the news came out that CLINT EASTWOOD and his wife DINA were divorcing, Clint was seen with a "mystery woman." Sources say she spent the night at his house, and he drove her to the airport the next morning. But yesterday Dina Tweeted, quote, "I don't like reading negative things about Clint. He is a wonderful, good natured, brilliant person. No matter what, I attest to that."
JUSTIN BIEBER and his crew are still under investigation for a nightclub assault. But over the weekend, Justin was the VICTIM of an assault at a Toronto club called Uniun. Sources say a guy tried to bum-rush Justin and tackle him as he was walking to the dance floor. He got a hold of Justin's shirt before the chaos was broken up. Justin tried to go after the guy, but he was being held back, too. The attacker was kicked out of the club, but he left with a souvenir . . . one of Justin's gold chains.
12/2/13 Lamar Odom Arrested for DUI
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Monday, September 2, 2013
Lamar Odom's meltdown is continues in a big way. Odom was arrested for DUI Thursday night in Los Angeles after cops spotted his car driving only 50 miles per hour on a freeway. According to TMZ, Odom initially refused to acknowledge the cop's signal to pull over and drove past three exits until finally coming to a stop. He then failed several sobriety tests and was taken to a nearby police station, where he refused to take any chemical tests. Reportedly, Lamar's wife Khloe Kardashian is at the end of her rope and has once again kicked him out of the house until he can get clean and get his act together.
Kris and Bruce Jenner have been living separate lives lately but their relationship has reportedly hit a new low. According to reports, Kris hasn't been wearing her wedding ring and the couple hasn't had sex with each other in years. One source says, quote, "They've had problems for a long time and have been separated for months."
Amanda Bynes' doctors are recommending that she needs to be in the hospital long term to treat her mental illness. Amanda is being treated for a serious mental health disorder at the UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles. Sources say doctors have been observing Amanda, and there has been some improvement but they say her diagnosis is complex. They believe she would benefit from prolonged treatment at UCLA for at least the rest of the year.
8/30/13 Clint Eastwood Separated
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Friday, August 30, 2013
Maybe JAMIE FOXX isn't seeing Katie Holmes after all. But it's not for lack of trying. At that party in the Hamptons last weekend, the two of them WERE working up a sweat on the dance floor. But apparently, Jamie over-estimated his mojo. A source says, quote, "They danced, and after a hug he grabbed her butt and tried to seal the deal. She was flattered, but not interested."
CLINT EASTWOOD and his wife DINA RUIZ have separated after almost 17 years of marriage. Dina told "Us Weekly" that she and Clint have been living apart for some time, but they "remain close". Clint is 83 . . . Dina is 48. They have a 16-year-old daughter together, and Clint has seven other kids from previous relationships. Clint and Dina appeared together on the E! reality show "Mrs. Eastwood and Company", which aired last year.
FERGIE and JOSH DUHAMEL welcomed their baby boy yesterday. They named him AXL JACK. Fergie had a C-section, by the way.
STEVE CHMELAR, the inventor of the foam finger, doesn't approve of how Miley used it at the "VMAs". He says, quote, "I would say that it certainly misrepresented its intent to encourage team support. She took an honorable icon that is seen in sporting venues everywhere and degraded it." However, he thinks the foam finger will endure . . . and he hopes Miley will do the same.
16-year-old KYLIE JENNER caused a three-car accident in Calabasas, California on Wednesday . . . just 18 days after getting her license. Witnesses say Kylie rear-ended someone in her brand new $125,000 Mercedes SUV . . . causing that car to smash into the back of the vehicle in front of it. It was a pretty minor accident and no one was seriously injured. Sources say Kylie immediately jumped out of the car to make sure everyone was okay, and everybody exchanged insurance information.

Great quality at a great price!
I spent hours and hours scouring the web, trying to find beautiful + unique + affordable wedding invitations. I was SO thankful to stumble upon Magnet Street. Their designs were super customizable with the color picker, fonts, sizing, etc. I also loved their "Just One" option, where you could buy a sample to be sent to you, and then put that amount spent as a credit towards your full order at a later date. Their prices were SO reasonable, compared to all other sites I had come across. Lastly, shipping was extremely speedy and the invitations came in this adorable sturdy box, which ended up doubling as my stamp/address label/envelope work station. :) So impressed with the entire experience!
Awesome quality
I was a little hesitant when I saw the website about how thick the magnet would be and the picture quality. I ordered the sample and everything arrived in an awesome kit along with an actual magnet. After I ordered mine and they were delivered, I was so HAPPY with how they turned out. Not too bulky and the picture quality was great. It came in a cool box with a whole packet about invitations too. Everyone loves them! Can't wait to get my invitations from them. This company is amazing and makes me confident in anything I'll order from them.
Fun choices, speedy delivery, good pricing
Love it!!! Recommend to anyone. My husband to be is incarcerated so it was hard to find a website anymore without wanting to use couple pictures. It was very fun to find magnet street that let us put our faces and two bodies
Pretty save the dates
I was very much impressed with the save the dates, the price and the customer service. I think it is great that they called me to make sure I was ok with the picture because it was a bit grainy. Some would just order them and say sorry about your luck. I was also lucky enough to get a coupon emailed to me. My fiance and I are definitely on a tight budget so that helped a whole bunch. Great work!
I'm so happy I decided to shop around and look at other websites for Save-the-Dates. I have been in love with the mustache and lips for a long time and I love that they are coming back in trend. I found a mustache and lips magnet with no picture and I really liked it but wanted one with a picture. I searched some more and found one! I love that we could personalize it with our own wedding colors. We used a rustic save-the-date sign in our engagement pictures and the part of the design that normally has the date printed I changed to read "We mustache you to....". It all came together perfectly. The price was decent and the size of the magnets is perfect, not too big and not too small. I will definitely come back to Magnet Street for future needs.

Jo for your finals
JK Rowling was in New York today lighting up the Empire State Building to mark the launch of Lumos, her children's charity, raising awareness for kids living in orphanages around the world. Lumos, if you know your Potter, is the spell that lights up your wand. She's been the light for a lot of people, young and old, for many, many years, including those of you in university writing finals this month. Full Story
Draco Malfoy, Disappointing Everyone
There's a new story bit about Draco Malfoy on Pottermore, and a rumination from J.K. Rowling on the character. I had to change my Pottermore password three times before I could actually access it, which I am convinced is part of the goal – to make it difficult for you, to make it worth it when you finally unlock the story you're looking for and give you a sense of achievement. Full Story
"I must not tell lies"
OMG. Dolores Umbridge is back. For Halloween. It was announced on Pottermore today that JK Rowling has written a new Harry Potter story to be posted on Halloween and it's about Umbridge and her backstory – how did she get so pink and catty? The last time Jo gave us some new material – from the Quidditch World Cup – her site crashed. Full Story
Harry Potter dragons x3
Last year, Warner Brothers announced their intention to make a Harry Potter spin-off film based on a text book mentioned in the series, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them by Newt Scamander. Now, Warner Brothers CEO Kevin Tsujihara tells the New York Times that the Fantastic Beasts spin-off will in fact be three "megamovies" and are described as being neither prequels nor any linear relation to Harry's story. Full Story
Dear Gossips,
The big movie release this month is Catching Fire. There was a time however that November belonged to the Harry Potter movies. The first and second films in the franchise came out in November. Out of the series of 8, a total of 4 of them were November opens. So I associate November with Harry Potter, and London too, since I was sent there for junketing several years in a row, both for the theatrical releases and the DVD launches.
It felt right then to see these pictures of JK Rowling with Emma Watson this November at a fundraiser for Lumos on Saturday at the Warner Bros Harry Potter Tour. The event raised over a million pounds in support of orphans around the world. You know who else was there?
And Emma tweeted Read Full Intro
Sexism and the single parent

Getting to know Newt Scamander
J.K. Rowling announced yesterday that she would write the script for Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them, a movie set in New York, some 70-odd years before Harry Potter, and starring Newt Scamander. You've had 24 hours to process the following information: - Yes, there is wizarding activity in North America. Full Story
Mother Magic at Centre Court
Our Mother of Magic, JK Rowling, isn't a carpet whore. She keeps a very, very low profile, even at her own movie premieres. So it's exciting when she goes out. And she seems to be really into Wimbledon. She and her husband were seated in the Royal Box and watched Serena Williams and Novak Djokovic win their matches today. Full Story

Big news in the publishing world today: JK Rowling will release a new novel for adults with a different publisher and not with Bloomsbury which published all the Potters. That's the only thing we know. More details are coming later this year including exactly when the book will come out, what it's called, and what it'll be about. Full Story

And of course the blog works in reverse chronological order so the earliest posts will be further down. We'll report on BAFTAs first, then move into Grammys. After this, there's only one awards show to go, and it's the big one: the Oscars on February 27th. I'll be in LA the entire week working for etalk and our annual live red carpet telecast. Still haven't decided on hair, dress, nothing. Fittings are this week. Will you help me choose? Check my Twitter at http://twitter.com/LaineyGossip Read Full Intro
On Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows Part 1
Please note that the following post is heavy on spoilers. Do you re-read them before you see them? I always do. Because I'm a nerd that way, yes, but also because it's fascinating to see how even the smallest details are interpreted for the screen. I loved for example how Voldemort completely emasculates Lucius Malfoy when he takes his wand. Full Story
The best is generous
Love her so f-cking much. There's a reason why Stephen King, and so many J.K. Rowling fans, took such offence to those early dumbass comparisons between Harry Potter and Twilight. One is gold, the other is ass, and it's incredibly insulting to Jo's great talent and her legacy to put her in the same sentence as that silly Stephenie Meyer. Full Story

Best Uses
Comments about Hayes CX-5 Mechanical Disc Brake:
These work really well. Only the outside pad travels, just like with the Avid BB7s. The body is stiff and they are easy to install and set up. I haven't had any squeeling, either, which I will admit I was worried about.
The inside pad is stationary. You need to use a hex wrench to adjust the position. Out on the road, this might be a slight pain, but it's been fine for me.
The amount of caliper travel per amount of cable pulled is the highest with these brakes between Shimano, Avid and Hayes. That's why I went with them. I use them with SRAM levers and they work great. The power is good. Pretty much like a pair of road calipers.
They work well in all weather, and I like that I am not grinding my rim down when riding in bad conditions. Easy set up, and they are very reliable.
These are my first set of disc brakes. I'm a roadie/CX person. So I have no comparison with hyrdos, which I'm sure are better.
The only thing I don't like is both pads don't move. Centering with multiple wheelsets is kind of a pain. Maybe it's like that for any disc brake setup.

Comments about Hayes CX-5 Mechanical Disc Brake:
I am impressed how well these disc brakes work. I've had the Avid BB7 Roads brakes before but I switched them out because I like the look of these. I thought I would loose some quality in braking but I was wrong. Brakes work really well.

Pfeiffer signs 6'9" player
May 7, 2009
Misenheimer, NC Pfeiffer University head mens basketball coach Dave Davis joked around as he announced the signing of Antonio Kalpic by saying, Stop the presses! Pfeiffer mens basketball signed a tall person! Coach Dave Davis received a commitment from Antonio Kalpic, a 6'9" 220-pound inside/outside player from Croatia, who has played the last two seasons of high school basketball in North Carolina.
"Pfeiffer University has a great individual in Antonio Kalpic," said Wesleyan coach Tim Wilson. "He is an extremely hard worker on the floor and in the classroom." Kalpic was recruited by several Division I schools and received a great deal of attention from bigger schools before deciding on Pfeiffer.
"We are very fortunate to land Antonio," said Davis. "He is very skilled and agile for a guy his size. It is widely known that we will not take big kids if they cannot move and Antonio can do this, as well as shoot from deep and pass the ball. He has a high basketball IQ."
Kalpic follows a tradition of Antonios, who had incredible careers at Pfeiffer including All-Time North Carolina College Scoring leader Tony Smith who just finished a 14 year professional playing career; Antonio Harvey, who played in the NBA for seven seasons and is now the radio voice for the Portland Trailblazers; and Antonio Bailey who led Pfeiffer to the only undefeated (18-0) conference record in Carolina's-Virginia Athletic Conference history.

Flexible annuities combine many of the advantages of traditional annuities such
as an income for life, with some of the advantages of drawdown such as
and the option to invest in the stock market. Most flexible annuities have the
following advantages:
Collectively these annuities are also known as 'Investment Linked Annuities' or
'Asset Backed Annuities'. The most well-known annuity in this group is the
'With-Profit Annuity' which as its name suggests is invested in a with-profits
fund. Included in this group is the 'Fixed Term Annuity'.
When a traditional (non-profit) annuity is set up, the options selected cannot
be changed a later date even if the circumstances change. For instance if
it is a joint life annuity and the partner dies first the annuity cannot
be re-priced to reflect the higher rates for a single life annuity. Or if
your circumstances changed and you wished to alter the level of income,
you cannot change your income.
However a Flexible annuity gives you income flexibility, investment control and choice of death benefits.
There are three types of flexible annuity
Potential for income growth
Future annuity payments may be lower than expected if investment returns are
lower than projected
Increases in future life expectancy can be passed on to the policyholder through
changes to survivor bonuses
Income flexibility
If too much income is taken in the early years it may result in lower income in
the future
Investment control
Investment returns and survivor bonuses may not be sufficiently high to
compensate for mortality drag
Joint life options
Before explaining how these annuities work, it is helpful to consider why you should consider investing some of your pension pot in these policies.
Most people need a pension income which has the potential to increase over time in order to meet a rising cost of living and life expectancy but find inflation linked annuities too expensive. The starting income from an inflation linked annuity is some 40% lower than a level annuity and it takes over 14 years to overtake the level annuity and over 25 years for the total payouts to be the same.
Many people retiring now simply don't know how much income they will need in future years or when they will need it. Nor can they be confident that their personal circumstances will not change.
Therefore it is helpful to have an annuity offering flexibility.
Providing you understand and accept the risks, investment linked annuities allow you to benefit from future growth if future returns are higher than anticipated and to have flexibility over the amount of income you receive. The risk is that in certain circumstances the level of income could fall.
Whilst there are obvious advantages to guaranteed annuity payments, the disadvantage is that the spending power of a fixed income will fall over time as inflation takes its toll. For instance, inflation at 3.5% per annum will halve the spending power of a fixed annuity after 20 years. So investors buying a level annuity may think they are not taking any risk but they are exposed to the real risk that their income will buy a lot less in the future.
This results in what we call the 'Risk Paradox'. Put simply, many retired investors might have to take some risk with their annuity income in order to end up in a less risky position. Investing in investment linked annuities means taking some risk but if by doing so the future level of income increases in value to help offset the effects of inflation, this might be less a less risky strategy in the future.

If you have read my last post, A Pleasant Distraction, you will understand why October Passing of the Pioneers just got in by the skin of its teeth. Thankfully I had the bones of the post done before "Hamilton Fever" took hold. This month there are the obituaries of a bricklayer, a Gaelic preacher, a disgraced crewman from the General Hewitt and a member of the Henty family.
David HUTTON – Died October 9, 1875 at Mount Rouse. David Hutton was born in Greenock, Scotland around 1809. He was an engineer by trade, and left Scotland in 1833 for Hobart to follow his brothers. One brother, William, saw opportunities in the new colony of Victoria, and David later followed, arriving at Portland in around 1844. He took out a lease on land at Mount Rouse and established Cheviot Hills. David Hutton was a foundation member of the Mt. Rouse Board and served for seven years. A Presbyterian, he was one of those behind the building of a church at Penshurst. He was buried at the Port Fairy Cemetery with other members of his family. Hutton street in Penshurst is named after David Hutton. Another obituary, published in The Mercury of Hobart, has more on David's story
Ewan McDONALD – Died October 13, 1891 at Warrion. Ewan McDonald was born around 1808 and first went to the Colac district when he settled on land at Dreeite around 1866. Ewan was a Presbyterian and at one time gave services at the Larpent Presbyterian Church in Gaelic.
John H. DUNN – Died October 29, 1914 at Hamilton. John Dunn was born in Geelong around 1860 and arrived in Hamilton, with his parents, two years later. Like his father, John was a bricklayer and together they built some of Hamilton's larger buildings. A search for Dunn's bricklayers found a reference on the Victorian Heritage Database. The home mentioned, in the Church Hill area of Hamilton is well-known to me and was built by William Dunn, when John was still a baby, In later life, John was a member of the Independent Order of Rechabites and the Methodist Church. He married Miss H. Luxton of Macarthur and they had nine children.
James DUNCAN – Died October 8, 1916 at Balmoral. James Duncan was born in Inverness, Scotland in 1837 and he arrived on the Flora McDonald to Portland in 1855. He went to Rocklands, near Balmoral, working as a shepherd. He left the district for Serpentine before returning to Glendinning station as overseer. He later took up the carpentry trade in Balmoral. He married Emily Rogers in 1876 and they had six children.
Elizabeth LEAHY – Died October 15. 1916 at Cavendish. Elizabeth Leahy was born in Adelaide around 1849. Her family came to Victoria to the goldfields of Bendigo and Ballarat, before returning to South Australia, taking up residence at Mt. Gambier. Elizabeth later moved to Lake Bolac and met her future husband, J.H Wallis. They married at Ararat. The couple farmed in the Wimmera, moved back to Ararat before settling at Mooralla around 1910.
Samuel BROWNLAW – Died October 13, 1917 at Tyrendarra. Samuel Brownlaw and his wife, Mary Ann Speechly, arrived on the Severn to Portland in 1856. They first went to Yambuk, before settling at Tyrendarra were they remained. In 1875, Samuel donated land for the Tyrendarra School. Samuel left three sons and three daughters at the time of his death.
John Stevens ANDREW aka John FORSTER – Died October 5, 1918 at Merino Downs. I have touched upon the obituary of John Andrew/Forster before, in the post The General Hewitt. John's obituary gave me some clues to the names of the crew members that caused unrest during the voyage and those that deserted. John was one of those crew members, explaining his alias. Unfortunately, his obituary speaks of nothing else but that voyage that hung over his head, even after death,
Christina McGREGOR – Died October 1925 at Hamilton. Christina McGregor was born in Inverness, Scotland around 1835. and arrived in Melbourne around 1847 on The Indian. Aboard the schooner The Wave, Christina travelled to Portland. Her next destination, on horseback, was to "Satimer Estate" near Casterton, owned by her uncle Alexander Davidson. Station life must not have been proper for a young lady as Christina returned to Portland to attend the ladies school run by the Misses Allison. It was in Portland she met her future husband, Archibald McDonald, from Condah, where they remained for the rest of the lives.
Phillip Henry THEISINGER – Died October 1942 at Portland. Geelong native, Phillip Theisinger, moved to Portland as a small child and remained there for the rest of his life. He worked as a storeman and was a secretary of the Portland Waterside Worker's Union. Phillip was also a member of the Portland Citizen's Band for 45 years and was a member of the Portland Masonic Lodge. He married Sarah Ann Surrey and they had 12 children, but only three still survived at the time of Phillip's death.
Henry COWLAND – Died October 21, 1942 at Portland. Henry Cowland was born in Brixton around 1847. He arrived with his parent to Portland aboard the Severn in 1856. He attended the Butler's School in Portland until he was 12 and then he obtained work as a contractor at Sandford. He also worked as a fencer and a carrier, carting sleepers for the railway line between Hamilton and Portland.
Annie DAWKINS – Died October 2, 1942 at Hamilton. Annie Dawkins was born at Glencoe, South Australia around 1866 and travelled to Victoria as a girl with her parents and they settled near Condah. Annie married Henry Dyer Rundell at Condah in 1890. She was a supporter of the Red Cross and did her bit during the two World Wars. She left a family of five children,
Agnes Cecil HENTY – Died October 30, 1945 at Nelson, New Zealand. Agnes Cecil Henty was the 6th daughter of Stephen and Jane Henty and she was born at Portland in 1850. In 1877, she married Edward Stafford Coster in New Zealand and they resided at Canterbury on the South island. Twenty-five years later Agnes and family moved to Nelson and she remained there until her death aged 95.
Robert Henry HOLLIS – Died October 1946 at Portland. Robert Hollis was born in Tarragal around 1863. His parents moved to Gorae when Robert's father began work as a stockman for the Henty's. After some time working as a butcher, Robert turned to farming and at the time of his death he "had a fine dairy farm and orchard property".

Like it or not, Silva's taunting was garnered attention for him while he was knocking off the competition that came in front of him. His style attracted tons of new fans whenever he fought.
Yes, this gladiator's time as champion is over but that does not diminish his legacy one bit. A single loss does not wash away an entire career.
Savour the moment. Champions fall. There are a select few that have that special something that allows them to stand above the rest. I am grateful that I was able to witness Anderson's prime, it will be something we will talk about for years to come.
