Fallible wrote:MP173 wrote:Now reading Robert Caro's "Lyndon Johnson, The Passage of Power".
This is my first reading of a Caro book. It is a well documented biography of Lyndon Johnson's life from about 1955 thru 1964. He begins the book as the "second most powerful man in Washington", a real deal maker as Senate Majority Leader ("Mr. Leader"), loses the nomination to John Kennedy for the 1960 Democratic Presidental hopeful and is then the Vice President in the Kennedy administration.
Two very interesting points are the process which led to him being asked to be the VP nominee (and then the 3 trips in one day by Robert Kennedy asking him to withdraw from the VP nomination) and the complete loathing and ridicule from the Kennedy administration during his tenure as VP.
Not only is this a great insite into the life of Mr. Johnson, but also into the inner workings of the Kennedy Administration and the hatred between Robert Kennedy and Johnson. They truly hated each other.
Right now I am at the summer of 1963 and the Civil Rights issues are front and center. I never realized Johnson's commitment to that issue. He had to walk a fine line between being a "southern Senator" and his feelings about human/civil rights.
This is a fascinating book.
The Caro book is on my library list and your comments make me anxious to get started. Being a member of the '60s generation, I well recall Johnson's battles for civil rights and how unlikely it seemed that he would be the one to lead to enactment of the Civil Rights Act. But it was fitting for the '60s, about which everything seemed unlikely.

One word more perhaps will not be out of place. I am a Mississippian. Though the veterans I knew are all dead now, down to the final home guard drummer boy of my childhood, the remembrance of them is still with me. However, being nearly as far removed from them in time as most of them were removed from combat when they died, I hope I have recovered the respect they had for their opponents until Reconstruction lessened and finally killed it. Biased is the last thing I would be; I yield to no one in my admiration for heroism and ability, no matter which side of the line a man was born or fought on when the war broke out, fourscore and seventeen years ago. If pride in the resistance my forebears made against the odds has leaned me to any degree in their direction, I hope it will be seen to amount to no more, in the end, than the average American's normal sympathy for the underdog in a fight.
In the last chapter, he caustically criticizes what he sees as the United States' laughably inadequate naval defenses of its shores. Hard to know whether he was right, as fortunately it was not tested.When you have seen the outside of a few hundred thousand of these homes and the insides of a few score, you begin to understand why the American (the respectable one) does not take a deep interest in what they call "politics," and why he is so vaguely and generally proud of the country that enables him to be so comfortable. How can the owner of a dainty chalet, with smoked-oak furniture, imitation Venetian tapestry curtains, hot and cold water laid on, a bed of geraniums and hollyhocks, a baby crawling down the veranda, and a self-acting twirly-whirly hose gently hissing over the grass in the balmy dusk of an August evening—how can such a man despair of the Republic?"
Behold now the glorious condition of this Republic which has no fear. There is ransom and loot past the counting of man on her seaboard alone—plunder that would enrich a nation—and she has neither a navy nor half a dozen first-class ports to guard the whole. No man catches a snake by the tail, because the creature will sting; but you can build a fire around a snake that will make it squirm.
The country is supposed to be building a navy now. When the ships are completed her alliance will be worth having—if the alliance of any republic can be relied upon. For the next three years she can be hurt, and badly hurt.

I remember a similar 'breath of fresh air' in reading Heinlein (true teenage intellectuals would have read Nietsche, who said much the same things).
Of course adulthood is finding out about how very much more complex and interdependent the world is. I think there is still valuable stuff in Heinlein (the juveniles, I can pretty much dispense with anything written post 1965 or so) but it's that same crashing feeling of discovering the world is not as you would like it.

Beautiful save the dates
The save the date magnets came out beautifully and exactly how we ordered them. The one problem was when we ordered, it said order today and have th shipped by a certain date, that date came and when and our magnets were not shipped. They ended up not shipping until almost two weeks after we were told they would. Luckily we ordered them earlier enough so there was no problem with getting them out too late. Just make sure you give yourself extra time for shipping because you can't predict these kinds of problems.
I was very pleased with my magnets.. They came in a nice little keepsake box with examples of other products you can order. My family and friends all loved the magnet.. Very nicely done!
save the dates
Magnetstreet was very helpful in answering any questions you have. I was given the wrong envelopes and then short a few envelopes and without any problems and deepest apoligies they were sent within a few days. Also, Very professional and polite on phone. Save the dates were beautiful. Good quality magnets, not flimsy. Shipped within a decent time and sent in a lovely blue box packaged to prevent damage. Beside the envelope incident which was perfectly okay since they gave me no problem wih sending new ones i am Very happy with magnetstreet and will let friends and family know about them. Thanks again magnetstreet for making my save the dates beautiful. Thinking about doing invitations with you also.
Beautiful Design, Easily Personalized, Quality Product!!
We LOVE our save-the-date magnets! We mailed them out last week, and we've been getting non-stop text msgs about how amazing they look. For us it was a splurge because we found other options that were more affordable, but the quality of the product and beauty of the designs made it worth it. I'll admit that I am pretty computer savvy, so I had no difficulty personalizing the magnets, but they were so simple to edit, anyone could do them. Shipping was very fast, and our magnets came in a reusable case that's been great for storage of the extras. Additionally we received a brochure with few sample invitations that we've found helpful as we continue shopping. Great Job MagnetStreet! I absolutely would recommend again!
Great Save-the-dates
The magnet came out beautiful. They also sent along a few extra card holders and magnets, but just enough envelopes. The only thing I will say is that I put on of the magnet on my fridge and when I went to take it off, my nail caught the corner and picked up the corner a bit from the magnet. Also, they came in a beautiful tiffany blue box. but overall we were satisfied!

Hopefully, you are all familiar with the Afrigeneas website for African Ancestored research. I want to bring your attention to a terrific article that resides there, albeit somewhat hidden.
From their homepage, if you click on the link that says Records, and then click Library Records, you will find a collection of articles and other submitted materials by Afrigeneas readers. All of the articles are good & should be explored, but my favorites by far are the ones by author David Paterson.
The title of this post refers to an article of his called "The 1850 and 1860 Census, Schedule 2, Slave Inhabitants" that I first read many years ago. It opened my eyes in a whole new way to the 1850 and 1860 documents because it discusses at length the political wrangling in Congress over what information these schedules should contain. To think that this is the reason why we see no names there today is just mindboggling.
I am going to quote liberally a section of his article (with permission), but only because I hope it whets your appetite to read the entire article, as well as his others. This excerpt is from a Congressional debate over two proposed census forms to use, one that did record slave names and one that did not. It is very long but I think once you start reading you won't be able to stop. ( I've only made very minor omissions because of length):
[quoted section begins]
On 9 April 1850, Senator John Davis of Massachusetts opened the Senate debate over which of version of the population forms would be used. ..
Senator Arthur P. Butler of South Carolina immediately rose with an amendment, saying: "I move to amend, so that instead of requiring the names of the slaves to be taken, the number only shall be required . . . and I now move to strike out the word 'names' and insert the word 'number.'"
Davis: "I believe that the only thing which induced the use of the word 'names' in both of the tables [free and slave], was the supposition that a greater degree of accuracy would be thereby ascertained, and any fraud be the more readily detected. However, if gentlemen have any choice on the subject, I am not disposed to object."
Butler: "The census heretofore taken has only required the numbers of the slaves, and I see no useful information the obtaining of the names can afford. On a plantation where there are one, two, or three hundred slaves, there are perhaps several of the same name, and who are known simply by some familiar designation on the plantation. It can afford no useful information, and will make a great deal of labor."
…[Davis] asked Butler: "If we are only to get the aggregate number of slaves, how are we to ascertain the owners?"
Butler: "By providing that the number of slaves owned by him shall be put opposite to the name of each owner."
David: "Then we shall lose the benefit of the classification of ages."
Butler: "Not at all. The age and sex will remain—everything but the name."
At this point, Senator Joseph R. Underwood of Kentucky rose to defend inclusion of the names…: "If you leave the age and sex of each slave, it will be perceived at once that the master and the census-taker must have his attention directed to each individual slave. Then, as each individual slave upon the plantation must constitute the subject of particular reference at the time, in order to ascertain the age and the sex, and other inquiries which the census table proposes to enumerate, it does seem to me that he must necessarily get the name."
Senator George E. Badger of North Carolina interjected a mockery of slaves' names: "What do you want of such names as Big Cuff or Little Cuff?"
Butler: "Or of Little Jonah and Big Jonah?"
Some senators laughed.
Underwood: "I have no particular anxiety to see these classical names that have been suggested, and whether it be Cicero or Cuff, it makes no difference to me. As it is necessary that attention must be directed to each individual, it occurred to me that the census taker could certainly make more progress by putting down the name, instead of being obliged to make a series of calculations. Then all that will be necessary will be, to put down the name, and to carry out the age and sex opposite to it; otherwise, the census taker will have, in the course of his examination, to take a child of one age and put him down, and make a memorandum, and then go on and take another child of another age, and put him down, and so on; and before he can make all the inquiries in regard to each on the plantation, he will have a whole sheet of paper covered with calculations and figures. I do believe the work can be done quicker and faster by making an entry of the names, and passing from one to the other, and thus save all of this calculation. This same process has been adopted in reference to the white population. The old system of proceeding was, to put down the population according to a classification of ages, as between five and ten; and ten and fifteen; and fifteen and twenty; and so on. The effect of that arrangement was, to require the census taker and the head of the family, in the calculation to which I have alluded, to ascertain the particular ages, and what class the particular individual should be enumerated under; and we thought . . . that it would really take more time and labor to make this classification . . . than it would merely to put down the names and ages—the simplest of all processes. I believe, therefore, that instead of imposing additional labor, it would save time and labor."
Senator Robert M. T. Hunter of Virginia: "Is it proposed to publish the names?"
Underwood: "Not at all; there is a total mistake on that subject. The names of the white population are not proposed to be published, nor are the names of the blacks." Only the statistical tables produced by counting the names, ages, et cetera, were to be published.
Senator David L. Yulee of Florida could not see the use of recording any names: "I wish to ask the Senator what public advantage there can be in having on the files of the department the names of all the inhabitants of the United States, white or black? What advantage can there be to know that there is a John Smith in New York, another in Kentucky, and another in Georgia? It has never been done before, and will certainly be a work of great labor and expense."
Senator Underwood patiently repeated his explanation…: "I imagined myself going about with the census taker," said Underwood, "and how he would talk with the head of a family, and how he would make his memorandums as he went along, and the conclusion was irresistible that he would do the business faster by merely putting down the name and age".
Senator Jeremiah Clemens of Alabama objected: "There is not a man in the South owning a hundred negroes who knows scarcely any more of the names of the slave children than I do. He would be obliged to send the census taker to the negro quarters himself, to ascertain the information."
Underwood shot back: "If the slave owner cannot give the name of the children, how is he to give the age?"
Clemens: "He knows how many children there are, and can tell about the time they were born. Say that he has a negro woman of the name of Eliza with four children—he can state about the time each was born. As to their names, he would not know anything about that until the children had reached the age of twelve or fourteen."
Underwood: "I cannot speak for the large negro owners in the South, but I can of that description of people and the negroes in my own State. And I venture to say that there is no plantation in my quarter, although the slaves are nothing like as numerous as they are in the South, but what the owner can tell you the name of every person on the plantation, and that without hesitation. We generally keep a record of their names and ages. And I should suppose that while the farmers of the South were recording, according to the suggestion of the Senator from Alabama, the ages of their slave children, they could put down something for their names also."
Clemens: "I did not say that they had a record of their ages, but merely that they could tell very nearly what they were."
Underwood: "Well, if there was any record of their ages I should suppose it would be connected with their names. If no record is kept of the age, then it has to be guessed at, and the name may as well be guessed at also, for it is wholly immaterial. But you must describe the children in some way, or take and put them down as child number one, child number two, and give the age of each. It will do just as well to designate them by numbers as by name, provided it secures the basis of the calculation which it is necessary to make afterwards. An oath that it is the correct name of the child is not required, and if the age of a child can be given, so can a name, and if all are given the same name it makes no difference. . . . The idea suggested, that the farmer will not know the names of his slaves makes no sort of difference. He can know as much about the names as the age; and all we can expect is, to come as nearly to what is precisely correct as possible, and that by the safest and most correct means. I have nothing more, I believe, to say on this particular subject."
Butler: "I cannot see the use of taking the names; in fact, I am surprised that the idea is even entertained. My friend from Kentucky generally has my vote; but upon this matter we see so differently that I am compelled to be at issue with him."
Senator Butler's amendment, to replace slaves' names with numbers, was then put to a vote and passed.
[end of quote]
I was struck when I read this by the racist and ridiculous thoughts about blacks evident in many of the senators comments. There is a point in the article where a senator actually says that the average slave wouldn't know how many children she had! I think of this debate every single time I look at those slave schedules.
I do hope you will visit the site and read David's article in its entirety. It gives much more detail and background and more information than I excerpted above and it will enrich your genealogy research in this area greatly.
David also has several other excellent articles posted on Afrigeneas, but two I believe are absolute must-reads: "Georgia's Slave Population in Legal Records" and "Case Study on Determining Maternity by Correlating Records of Alpheus Beall's Slaves".

By helping to relax the bladder muscle, OXYTROL® For Women helps reduce urgency, frequency and accidents associated with OAB. Get the leading prescription medicine in a discrete patch now available over-the counter.
What is Overactive Bladder?More than 20 million women in the United States suffer from OAB. OAB is characterized by a number of symptoms that can be physically burdensome and emotionally draining, including a strong urge to urinate right away and the need to urinate more often than usual, with or without leakage. The majority of women who suffer develop the condition between the ages of 45 and 64 years old. Although OAB is a treatable medical condition, most women do not discuss their symptoms with a doctor and assume it's a normal part of aging. Rather than seek treatment, many women try to manage their condition with coping strategies that include wearing pads and/or dark clothing, mapping out the nearest toilets, and avoiding social interactions outside the home.
Symptoms of OABYou may be suffering from OAB if you have had 2 or more of the following symptoms for at least 3 months:
The process of passing urine is complex, and involves many factors. Your kidneys, nerve signals and muscles work together to fill and empty the bladder. A problem anywhere in this process can contribute to overactive bladder.
Although the cause of overactive bladder is still unknown, OAB occurs when your bladder muscle contracts as the bladder is filling, leading to the symptoms of OAB.
Occurrence of OAB in WomenOAB is one of the top ten chronic conditions affecting women.
The majority of women who develop the condition are between the ages of 45 and 64 years old. Despite the fact that OAB is treatable, more than 80% of women with OAB don't seek treatment.

Product works very well! Solves the problem of excessive trips to the bathroom and annoying and embarrassing accidents. Makes a big difference in the quality of life! Needs some improvements on the packaging, as it is difficult to open using the fold and tear system on the package. The second half of the backing has nothing to hold on to and so it is difficult to remove. Perhaps because it is Summertime and hot, the patch does not stick well at all. I've used two of them so far, and both came loose within the first four hours, making it necessary to tape it to my body. I doubt it would stay on during a shower or excercise. Still, it does work extremely well! Although it seems expensive, condisering you can cut down on or eliminate buying expensive protective underwear, and have a better quality of life, it is well worth the cost. I am glad this is now available OTC, and with a few improvements, it would be perfect.

As the three-star rating indicates: It works just fine, most of the time. It's not perfecct because occasionally I'll get hit with an out-of-the-blue urge, and though the number of times I urinate during the day has been reduced, the product has not changed a thing for night time urination.The shiny, thin envelopes are a real pain to open. Fold here, pull there. It must've been designed by a youner person who doesn't have arthritis in their hands/fingers. Some days I can't get the envelope open and have to use scissors. Since most women who use this product are of an age where arthritis might be an issue, the envelope needs to be redesigned.I can't use it on my abdomen because it itches and I get a minor rash. It's fine on my hips and backside. The product "glue" leaves a residue on the skin around the edges that doesn't come off with just soap and water.Even with the above "cons," including the fact I think it is a bit expensive, I will use it as long as it continues to reduce the number of trips to the bathroom.

Follow the package directions for use and you will be rid of the anxiety of poor bladder control. If you suffer from poor bladder control, you know how good that is!The patch lasts for four days only. If you delay applying the replacement for five days, you will again have poor bladder control.

It took a short while to see improvement, it was gradual but did happen over about 2 wks. Reduction of 50% bathroom visits total, and most importantly, 75% reduction during the night.It can be tedious getting the pkg open, so use scissors. After doing it a couple times it's simple.

The patches work very well, and decrease sudden urges to urinate and accidents. Sometimes, the patches irritate my skin. When that occurs, I take it off, and replace it on another section of my skin. They replace easily, and still work well. I really appreciate this product, it has changed my life for the better.

I have been using the patch for several years; this was the only product that addressed my over active bladder. My insurance would not cover it as there was no generic version, none of the other prescriptions provided relief -believe me I tried them all. Now it's available over the counter at 15% of monthly prescription cost! Yippee!

Hambden Elementary's 90th Birthday Celebration
Help Chardon Schools celebrate Hambden Elementary School's 90 years on Oct. 23 at 6:30 p.m. The doors will be open to welcome former students and teachers, as well as current faculty, students and their families and friends, plus anyone else with an interest in history.
The district has been collecting class pictures, memorabilia and other artifacts to display. The educational journey starts with displays in the gym, from the first school organized in 1809 that was held in a log cabin near the corner of routes 608 and 6 to the current brick building and classes today.
Parking will be at the school, the Hambden town hall and the township park across the street.
If anyone has any Hambden Elementary memorabilia that he or she would like to add to the display, please drop it off in the school office. Or send an email with the subject line "Hambden Celebrates" to email@example.com.
Special thanks goes to the Chardon Schools Foundation for funding this important event.

Hey folks! We recently partnered up with Chadwick Trentham, the Visual Storyteller at Azusa Pacific University, for an 11 day filming project that took Chadwick and his team over the mountains and through the valleys of California's Yosemite Nation Park. We set him up with an Evolution backpack and a few ZipShot tripods to use and abuse on the trek, and abuse he did! We're excited to share with you the visual story of Tamrac in Yosemite and Chadwick's detailed account of the adventure! Enjoy!
11 days in the wilderness with the Tamrac Evolution 9 and a ZipShot tripod from Chadwick Trentham on Vimeo.
As a storyteller for Azusa Pacific University, my job includes producing films covering a range of topics: alumni, academics, campus events, and student life. That's a pretty diverse task for a filmmaker—you never know what you might shoot next. One week I'm in the middle of the African bush filming an alumnus, and the next week I'm running alongside APU's football team as they take the field for a home game (and trying not to get hit). As you can imagine, what I carry my gear in is very important; it has to be able to travel and function well in any situation.
My most recent project took me on an 11-day backpacking trip with students into the Ansel Adams Wilderness in Northern California. I love to hike, so I was excited about this trip. Capturing the beauty of the outdoors would be the easy part. But 11 days on the trail also presented a few challenges. No showers, for instance. No outlets to charge my batteries either, which meant packing in plenty of extra batteries. Packing light? Not really an option.
The biggest challenge was finding a bag that would hold all my gear and keep it dust free, dry, and ready to go at a moment's notice. The bag also had to fit inside the main compartment of my large backpacking pack, and be easy to use as a daypack. After researching my options, I landed on the Tamrac Evolution 9. It offered all the compartments and pouches I wanted, and looked like it was built for the rugged outdoors, including a rubber bottom to protect it from the dirt. It even came with a rain cover, and how could I say no to that? (That rain cover came in handy.)
It looked sturdy enough to hold all my gear, which included:
2 Canon 60Ds, 2 GoPro Hero2s
Canon 24mm f1.4, 50mm f1.4, 24-105mm f4, 70-200mm f2.8
Tokina 11-16mm f2.8
2 ZipShot tripods with a set of ZipShot quick release plates
Manfroto 190XDB tripod with 701HDV head
Manfrotto 561bhdv1 monopod
Audio-Technica ATR-3350 Lavalier
Zoom H1, H4n
The Evolution 9 was a perfect fit. Other than a few strap-ends being a little too long, it met all my needs and kept the gear safe, clean, and dry. I could set it down on the damp ground by a lake and know the gear was well protected. Toward the end of the trip, we got trapped in a three-day rainstorm complete with thunder and hail. As soon as I felt the first raindrop, I put the rain cover over the Evolution bag, put it in side my pack, and put another rain cover over that. When the rain stopped, I took the bag out of my pack and it was completely dry.
The pack also functioned really well for day hikes. On the day we repelled with the students, I needed to shoot from the bottom, so I used the chest and waist straps, put my tripod on the back of the bag, and repelled with all my gear on my back. Dangling about 100 feet off the ground, I knew that pack wasn't going anywhere. After traveling with this bag, I'm not sure I would trust any other bag company. Tamrac's lightweight, well-constructed bag met all my expectations. If it can survive 11 days in the wilderness, it can handle just about anything I throw at it.
I also used the ZipShot tripods, a new item for me. I needed a second option for filming but wanted something lightweight. The fact that it's so light, compact, and can be set up in about a second sold me instantly. I used them almost daily on the trip, including once for an interview when I used my second 60D. It supported the camera's weight, stabilized quickly, and got the job done. But the ZipShots really shined when I used them with the GoPros for time lapses, filming, and as a pole for a higher shot. They provided perfect support for the weight and were really easy to use with the ZipShot quick release plates. These will be a must have for any future trips.

BELMONT – When the Belmont Abbey College women's basketball team was picked eighth out of 12 teams in a Conference Carolinas preseason coaches' poll, few would've imagined where the Lady Crusaders would be early in the new year.
Following Saturday's 60-56 win at King – the Abbey's second league road victory – coach Susan Yow's team is 4-1 in the conference and 5-4 overall.
And entering Tuesday's home game against Pfeiffer, the Abbey is part of a league distinctly divided into two tiers at this point in the conference season.
Coker (9-3, 5-1) is atop the standings, but by only a half-game over Belmont Abbey, Barton (5-4, 4-1), Limestone (7-2, 4-1) and Queens (6-3, 4-1), with Pfeiffer (8-1, 3-1) and Mount Olive (8-2, 4-2) close behind in a tie for sixth-place. Eighth-place – or next in the league standings – is shared by two teams with 1-4 league records.
What it means is that the Lady Crusaders will need to keep playing well to stay near the top of the standings.
Following Tuesday's home game, the Lady Crusaders visit Erskine (0-10, 0-5) on Saturday before hosting Barton on Jan. 16, unanimous preseason coaches' favorite Limestone on Jan. 19 and Queens on Jan. 21.
Freshman Morgan Midkiff and junior Kelsey Long are leading the team offensively with scoring averages of 13.3 and 12.7 points, respectively. Junior Melisa Foures (8.3) leads in rebounding and junior Candace Fox (3.9) leads in assists.
Midkiff's season-high 26 points led the Crusaders in last Thursday's 94-46 home win over Converse.
Men's basketball
The Crusaders are in a three-way tie for seventh-place in the standings entering the week.
Coach Stephen Miss' team, which is 8-4 overall, has suffered each of its league losses to teams ranked among for the top five in the conference – league-leading King (10-1, 5-0), second-place Limestone (8-3, 4-1) and fifth-place Erskine (7-2, 3-2).
Senior Tyshawn Good leads the offense at 25.2 points per game, with Chris Davis adding 13.3 points and former Gaston Day standout Terrone Sheffey 13.1. Jay Council leads in rebounding (6.6) and Sheffey (2.9) leads in assists.
Debut this weekend
Coach Mary DeJute's inaugural men's volleyball team makes its debut this weekend in the King College Invitational.
The Crusaders will play Quincy on Friday, then will play host King as well as Rust on Saturday. The contest against King also will count as the team's Conference Carolinas opener.
Belmont Abbey's home opener will be Jan. 22 against league rival Limestone.
Spring sports
With temperatures expected to rise this week, you'll see a buzz of activity at the Abbey as spring teams prepare for their openers next month.
Baseball makes the earliest debut on Feb. 1, with softball starting on Feb. 2, the golf teams beginning the weekend of Feb. 2-5, men's lacrosse starting Feb. 16 and women's lacrosse Feb. 20.

How do you make a 10-cent gas tax increase palatable? You've got to be proactive and educate all of your constituents. That's the approach State Representative Josh Byrnes, chairman of Iowa's House Transportation Committee, says will best serve all Iowans and enable the state to address neglected and badly needed infrastructure improvements for roads and bridges.Iowans currently pay a state fuel tax of 21 cents per gallon for regular gasoline and its gas tax is lower than five of the six states along its border, (only Missouri's is less (17.7 cents per gal). But the money collected leaves an annual shortfall of $215 million. As Byrnes explained it in an interview last week, Iowa's demographics are far different...

WP flyhalf Handre Pollard will miss the rest of the U18 Craven Week after suffering a quad injury during the 47-27 loss to the Blue Bulls on Tuesday.
Pollard suffered the injury just before half-time of the day two feature match, but still finished the game. It affected his tackling ability and his goal kicking, which was evident when he miscued his first penalty attempt in the second stanza.
WP team manager Petri Stoffberg believes they should've substituted the player at the break.
'In hindsight, we should've taken him off,' Stoffberg told Schoolboy Derby. 'But the rules of Craven Week forces each player to play a full game, and we can only substitute for serious medical reasons. We didn't know his injury was that severe.
'Leaving Handre on the field cost us on defence. He played very well in the first half, and was key in securing a lead at half-time. But he struggled in the second half, and we effectively defended with 14 men.'
The match against the Blue Bulls will be Pollard's last for WP, having represented them at the U13, U16 and U18 provincial weeks. He will move to the Pretoria union once he finishes his matric year at Paarl Gym.
Excelsior flyhalf Dennis Cox is expected to take over WP's flyhalf duties for their next game. Stoffberg added that there were also other options being considered, like Paul Roos fullback Jason Worrall.
WP will face SWD on Thursday, a team they lost to in a warm-up game shortly before the tournament. Stoffberg believes a stronger defensive effort will be needed for the win.
'We need a simpler defensive structure plan in place. We just had a poor second half against the Bulls. We will improve in the next game.'

With federal Prohibition in place, a place called
Mother Earth Brewing co-founder Stephen Hill said during Prohibition,
With national Prohibition repealed in 1933, the General Assembly gave counties the power to go wet in 1935.
Lenoir County Commissioners called a vote on
And with the resurgence of craft distilleries in the state, Mother Earth Brewing is getting in on the action. Branding its liquor under the banner of Mother Earth Spirits, Hill said they plan to roll out their first products no later than Christmas.
Right now, however, experimentation is the name of the game.
"We've already started our first batch — we don't have anything yet," Hill said.
Head distiller Dan Feldman said plans are in the works to produce types of gin, grappa, rum and whiskey.
Feldman said he's developed about 50 different botanically infused types of gin, several of them stacked in glass jars in the window of the distillery.
Among them, he noted a
"The gin that we make will use all of the old world techniques," Feldman said. "So, we're going to put juniper in the still, and run the vapor over the juniper, like
"So, it's going to be like a blend of all three techniques, instead of just choosing one or the other."
For the grappa, an Italian-style brandy liquor made from distilling grape seeds, skins stems (called pomace) — which tastes nothing like brandy — Feldman said they're still searching for a winery with which to partner. They're looking at facilities in Chilton and Yadkinville.
Interestingly, the term "grappa" is protected by the European Union to only cover that type of clear spirit made in
In the
"Even though, yes, grappa is claimed as a protected alcohol named for Italian beverages the same sambuca is, champagne or
For the whiskey, Mother Earth is going with a 100 percent barley malt product.
"We played with a wheat whiskey — a soft, red wheat — and a corn whiskey, but I think what we're going to end up doing is 100 percent malt," Feldman said. "It's got the richest flavor, from the experiments that we've done. It seems to be something that's not done that much right now."
Currently, they're putting the whiskey in 5-gallon oak barrels with grooves on the inside to provide for more surface-area contact with the alcohol, speeding up maturation from five years to five months, allowing for quicker sampling.
Once Mother Earth decides on a style and it's approved by the TTB, the whiskey will go into larger barrels to age for the full four-to-five years. The federal bureau's approval process is backed up, Feldman said, because of budget cuts forced by sequestration.
On its website, the TTB lists an averaging processing time of 33 days for distilled spirits, but notes it legally can take up to 90 days to approve or reject an application.
Rum is one product that doesn't have to be pre-approved, as long as it's made from 100 percent sugar cane, and Feldman said they'll likely produce a "traditional
The distillery has been in the works for some time.
"We've been working on this for months," Hill said, adding, "We're also the first distillery to be in a LEED-certified building."
No matter what's visible in the bottle, there's a case to be made for calling each product green.
Our still runs on solar hot water," co-founder Trent Mooring said, "so we'll be the first distillery to actually make spirits made with hot water made by the sun."
Time from distilling to bottling Mother Earth Spirits:
Gin, none
Grappa, none
Rum, 1 month
Whiskey, 4-5 years

Hockey player gets a world of experience
Former Edmonds-Woodway student recently returned from playing professionally in Belarus

Katy Walker played this past season for the Minsk Panteras in Minsk, Belarus, a member of Europe's Elite Women's Hockey League. She is pictured playing in a game against ESC Planegg from Planegg, Germany.

Katy Walker, from Edmonds, played past season for the Minsk Panteras in Minsk, Belarus, a member of Europe's Elite Women's Hockey League. She is pictured at the Sport Palace in Minsk, during a team scrimmage
So when the chance came to continue her career for another season, Walker jumped at the offer -- even when it meant spending the better part of a year halfway around the world.
Before returning home in March, the 22-year-old Walker had spent the previous seven months in Belarus, an eastern European country tucked between Poland to the west and Russia to the east. She lived in the capital of Minsk, a city with a population of around 2 million people, and played for a team called Pantera Minsk (Pantera is Russian for Panthers).
It was, she said, "a great experience. I love playing hockey, but it was also a chance to go somewhere I'd never been and see a lot of countries I'd never been to."
As a recent college graduate, "I didn't really have anything else lined up," she said. "So it was like, 'Why not?' The timing was great and the experience was available."
The 22-year-old Walker attended Edmonds-Woodway High School through her junior year. By then she was playing for a top club team in Colorado, and for her senior year she transferred to a school in Littleton, Colo., where she graduated in 2008.
She then went on and played for an Elmira College team that reached the national championship game in her freshman season, and then won the national title the year after she graduated.
It was one of Walker's college assistant coaches who helped her get noticed by the team in Belarus. She was offered a contract and was soon on her way to Minsk, arriving in late August.
Right away she faced a big cultural adjustment, beginning with a major language barrier.
Most people in Belarus, including her coach and many of her teammates, speak only Russian. Some teammates knew a smattering of English words, though two teammates were fortunately fluent in English and became her unofficial translators.
"If (the coach) drew something on the board, the pictures were easy," Walker said. "Each of our (hockey) lines had a color, so I learned the colors of the four lines we had. And I learned numbers, too. But for the most part he'd talk and then I'd go ask one of the girls who spoke English, 'What'd he say?'
"But even with the girls who only spoke Russian, we still had a common thing and that was hockey. We could smile over a good pass or a nice goal. You don't need to talk for that kind of stuff. So hockey definitely helped (create a) bond with teammates you couldn't necessarily communicate with."
Her team played in the Elite Women's Hockey League (EWHL), one of the top women's pro hockey leagues in the world. There are eight teams, with three in Austria, two in Germany, one in Switzerland, one in Italy and one in Belarus.
Because the EWHL restricts the number of non-native players on team rosters, Walker was the only American on Pantera Minsk. A Canadian player, Jess Jones from Picton, Ontario (she played at Mercyhurst University in Erie, Pa.) showed up a month later, becoming Walker's roommate and close friend.
Pantera Minsk ended up qualifying for the league playoffs and went on to win the championship, beating a team from Vienna, Austria, in the title match, 6-1.
Like most other countries in the world, traces of America can be found in Belarus. McDonald's restaurants seem to be everywhere, Walker said, "and they're packed all the time. Crazy packed. Lines out the door. That was interesting."
Likewise, some American products could be found in grocery stores. Heinz Ketchup, for example. Otherwise, Walker said, "we'd go to the grocery store and have to shop by pictures. I never learned how to read the language because it's a different alphabet."
Some American TV programs were telecast in Belarus, albeit with Russian voiceovers, but many U.S. internet web sites were restricted. What gave Walker her greatest connection to home was Skype, the internet communication site that allows visual and verbal communication from almost anywhere in the world.
Walker even remembers watching the Seattle Seahawks in last winter's NFL playoffs via Skype. Her parents would position their computer next to the TV, allowing Walker and Jones to follow along.
Her salary was enough "that I didn't go in debt playing over there, but I certainly didn't make anything that would be like the pro lifestyle here," she said. "But it was enough that I could enjoy the experience and not be frantic about money."
As interesting as her stay in Belarus was, Walker has decided not to return next season. She was a mathematics major in college and figures it might be time to put those studies to work.
Looking back, she said, "I'm glad I went. It was a really good experience. There were times when things were frustrating, and then Jess and I would look at each other and it would be like, 'Oh, my goodness, what are we doing?' But then something else would happen and we'd be having fun."
And in the end, she said, "we made friendships with the girls on the team, and that was the hard part to leave. But I just kind of figured it was time for me to move on. I had a great experience, we won the championship and now it's time for me to start the next chapter of my life."

The Writing Center, located in 242 Bancroft Hall, provides a free writing consultation service to all members of the University community: students, staff, administrators, and faculty. The Writing Center's purpose is to help writers at all levels learn more about their writing through tutoring sessions. Tutors help writers analyze assignments, address audiences appropriately, improve their composing processes, strengthen the focus and organization of their writing, and improve their control of the language. The Writing Center cannot provide a proofreading/editing service or guarantee better grades; its primary purpose is to improve writing in the long term. Although operating hours may vary from semester to semester, the Writing Center is open at least five days a week. Scheduling an appointment ensures that a tutor will be available. To make an appointment, telephone 803-323-2138 or drop by the Center and speak with the receptionist. (We are not able to return calls to cell phones with area codes outside the Rock Hill area, and we cannot make appointments through e-mail.)
Center Hours for Thursday, January 22 - Monday, April 27 (Spring Term):
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday 9:00 A.M. - 8:00 P.M.Friday 9:00 A.M. - 12:30 P.M.
We are not open on weekends, and the Center closes when Winthrop University closes (for example, on snow days).
The Writing Center will be open for limited hours from Tuesday, April 28 - Friday, May 1 during exams.

Ewing sarcoma is a type of cancer that occurs in the bone or soft tissue . Areas that are commonly affected include the pelvis, thigh, lower leg, upper arm, and chest wall. Prognosis depends on the location of the tumor and whether it has spread to other parts of the body.
Risk Factors
Factors that increase the risk of Ewing sarcoma include:
- Race: Caucasians are more likely to get this type of cancer than people who are African American or Asian
- Age: More common among teenagers
Symptoms may include:
- Pain, redness, and swelling surrounding the tumor
- Difficulty moving around
- Fever
- Weight loss and reduced appetite
- Fatigue
- Paralysis and loss of bladder control (in cases where the tumor is near the spinal cord)
- Numbness, tingling, and paralysis (caused by compression of nerves by the tumor)
- Difficulty breathing if the tumor is in the chest wall
Ewing sarcoma can also weaken the bone leading to unexplained fracture of the bone.
The doctor will ask about your child's symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will also be done. Ewing may be suspected if a bone breaks after a minor injury. A sample of the tissue will be removed and sent for examination, also called a biopsy .
Images of the body may be taken to locate the tumor and determine if it has spread to other tissues. Images may be taken with:
Your child will work with a team of doctors. Talk with the team to determine the best treatment options for your child. These options include:
Chemotherapy and Radiation Therapy
Chemotherapy is the use of drugs to kill cancer cells. Chemotherapy may be used along with radiation therapy . This is the use of high-energy x-rays to kill cancer cells.
Surgery may be used to remove the tumor.
Surgery may also be done to rebuild the affected bone. A bone graft will help to replace smaller areas of missing bone. An artificial limb may be needed if larger areas of the bone are affected. There are special types of artificial limbs that expand as the bone grows. Several surgeries may be needed to make sure the limb functions properly.
Stem Cell Transplant
Stem cells grow into blood cells and platelets. The cancer and the treatments can damage stem cells which makes it difficult for the body to produce healthy blood cells. A stem cell transplant can help replace the damaged stem cells. The new cells are injected into a vein, and travel to the bone cavities where they will grow and begin work.
Rehabilitation Therapy
Physical and occupational therapy will help your child manage physical challenges including:
- Re-learnig how to do daily tasks
- Resuming physical activity
- Learning how to use a prosthesis
Other therapists or specialists will also help your child through emotional challenges of illness and treatment.

The word "genocide" did not exist before 1944. Raphael Lemkin, an international lawyer of Polish-Jewish descent, was horrified when Winston Churchill said of the atrocities being committed by the Nazis that, "We are in the presence of a crime without a name." He was especially horrified that, after the massacres of the Armenians in the Ottoman Empire during World War I, there still was no word to describe these mass ethnic murders. Lemkin wanted to give a name and legal definition to these unique crimes against humanity so that international law could be written to prevent and punish them. Lemkin created the word "genocide" from Greek and Latin roots – "geno" for a group of people and "cide" for killing. The killing of an identified group of people was to be made punishable by the new international codes being written after World War II, as well as by each country's domestic law. On Dec. 9, 1948, the "Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of Genocide" was adopted by the United Nations. This document officially defined genocide.
According to Article II, "In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group as such:
The Convention entered into force in 1951, and more than 130 nations have ratified it since then. The United States adopted this convention in 1988. The first time the term was applied by the United States government to an action was in 2004 when then-Secretary of State Colin Powell called the actions in the Darfur region of Sudan "genocide".
The definition of genocide is controversial and many scholars have sought to broaden the identification of groups that have experienced genocide. In the 20th century, a new scholarly field of comparative genocide studies was instituted. One scholar, Dr. Gregory Stanton, president of Genocide Watch, outlined eight stages in genocide. The stages are noted below; a key aspect of this framework is that preventative measures are possible at each stage. A full description of these stages can be found at Genocide Watch's Web site.
1. CLASSIFICATION ("Us" vs. "Them")2. SYMBOLIZATION (names or symbols) 3. DEHUMANIZATION (denying targeted group's humanity) 4. ORGANIZATION (formal or informal plans)
5. POLARIZATION (remove middle: "with us or against us") 6. PREPARATION (identify or separate victims)7. EXTERMINATION (murder of victims)8. DENIAL (cover up murders or blame the victims)

Sure, she's a ham — but comparing her to a pig?
Late night funnyman George Lopez took a mean swipe at Kirstie Alley on his talk show Lopez Tonight on Tuesday when he compared the Dancing with the Stars contestant to — a pig!
PHOTOS: Dancing With The Stars New Contestants Celebrating At STK
"She did a nice job," George joked on Lopez Tonight after showing a clip of Kirstie dancing with pro partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy. "Her little hooves tapping away."
He then did a play on the This Little Piggy Goes to Market nursery rhyme.
PHOTOS: See The Contestants For The New Season Of 'Dancing'
"Before the show she went to the market. And then she had roast beef. And this is her going all the way home," and Lopez played a clip of a pig squealing "wheeeee" while riding in a car.
Kirstie has been criticized for her weight gain in recent years, but she wrote on her Twitter page about her dramatic weight loss before the show and has said she is expecting to lose a lot more during the competition.
PHOTOS: Kendra Wilkinson Dances On
"Had lost 60 lbs before DWTS… Haven't weighed in three weeks but sure I've lost over 10 more…" she Tweeted Tuesday.
She has the second highest score on the season premiere of DWTS, receiving 23 points for her dance as well as high praise from the judges. Bruno Tonioli told her, "Your foot placement was the best of the night." Carrie Ann Inaba said her dance "had sizzle," and Len Goodman told her, "It was fun, it was cheeky and it made me feel good."
PHOTOS: DWTS Contestants Get Partnered
Lopez also singled out talk show host Wendy Williams, who's also a contestant on DWTS, calling her a man.

The Reds continued to pile the misery on the Sharks, winning easily in Brisbane.
The bonus point was secured by half time, scoring four tries and leading 29 – 3 before winning 32 – 17.
Four tries in the first half ended the match as a contest, the Reds able to settle into a second half and defending their lead. The Sharks scored twice in the second half, but could not get close enough to force the Reds out of first gear.
The Reds took full advantage of poor Sharks defence, Rocket Rod Davies scoring twice. One of his tries, a full 100m turnaround, could well be one of the tries of the tournament, Will Genia rounding off the movement with a kick through for Davies to pounce on. The Fainga'a brothers each crossed the chalk to complete the Reds' try scoring.
Will Genia and Quade Cooper, along with Digby Ioane, controlled all aspects of the game, making the Sharks defensive structure look silly and unorganised. Quick ball, along with the Reds playing the full width of the match, outsmart the Sharks who were falling off the tackles and losing the collisions.
The second looked much better for the Sharks, Lwazi Mvovo getting into space and having a good half. Willem Alberts bolstered the pack for the second forty, looking his usual destructive self with ball in hand. Piet Lindeque and Derick Minnie each scored in the second half, Lindeque's try thanks to some good hands from Lambie.
The Sharks' season is now definitely over in terms of reaching the play-offs, but it could be the right time to blood some youngsters and try some new combinations. The Sharks will be desperate to win the last tour match, especially as they have now lost five on the trot. The matches back in South Africa will not be much easier as they face the Bulls twice and host the Blues, amongst others.
The Reds now travel to South Africa to face the Cheetahs and then the Stormers, who would have just returned from their four week tour.
Reds: 32
Tries: Saia Fainga'a, Rod Davies (2), Anthony Fainga'a
Conversions: Quade Cooper (3)
Penalties: Quade Cooper (2)
Sharks: 17
Tries: Piet Lindeque, Derick Minnie
Conversions: Pat Lambie (2)
Penalties: Pat Lambie (1)

The official, who asked to speak on condition of anonymity, said top management believed the company would be best served through unity, China's official Xinhua News Agency reported Sunday.
Four executives at PetroChina, a subsidiary of the China National Petroleum Corp., were dismissed in August for "serious violations" of corporate principles.
Chinese President Xi Jinping has said he'd crack down on corruption in the country.
The PetroChina executive said the company was maintaining a growth strategy in the downstream natural gas business.
Xinhua said the company would look to invest overseas.
During the first half of 2013, PetroChina produced 8.1 percent more natural gas than it did in the same period last year.
The Energy Information Administration, the analytical arm of the U.S. Energy Department, said in a market report last week it expects China to become the world's largest energy consumer by next year.

"The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He has anointed me to .... proclaim liberty to the captives .... to set at liberty those who are oppressed." Luke 4:18
"But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name." John 1:12
"If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed, and you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." John 8:31-32

"Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage." Galatians 5:1
Christianity is not perceived by many people (Christian or non-Christian) as a religion of freedom, mainly due to the very poor job his followers have done. In fact, the Bible presents Christ as coming bring freedom from all the things that enslave us - from the spiritual to the physical. The subject of this thread is "Christian freedom - an oxymoron?" I will keep my initial post short and simple. I am interested in knowing how atheists with past associations with Christianity react to the concept of Christian freedom.

Realizing that your child has run away from home is filled with emotion - anger that she would do such a thing; fear for her safety; shame that others may think that you are not a "good" parent.
While some children run across city or state lines, statistics indicate that most children stay in the same general area that they live in. Some go only as far as a friend or relative. Wherever your child has gone, there are certain steps that are necessary not only for a safe return, but to protect both her rights and yours.
Notify the police and file a missing persons report. Keep records of all details of the investigation and stay in touch with authorities while your child is missing. Call the National Runaway Safeline at 1-800-RUNAWAY. NRS operates a 24-hour confidential hotline for teens and their families. Services include crisis intervention, information, referrals, and the Home Free program in partnership with Greyhound Lines, Inc. Specially trained volunteers at the hotline will help you process the situation and give you support.
Leave a message with the NRS for your child. Spread the word among your friends and your child's friends that you have done this and to encourage him/her to call. Your child can also leave messages for you.
Tell others that your teen is missing. Let them know that you are concerned and ask for their help and support. Posters can help if your teen is still in the area or contact the news desk of your local television station or newspaper.
Check any records that may give clues about your child's whereabouts. Look at phone bills, e-mail activity, pager records, credit card activity, bus or airline dockets, bank statements, and employment records.
Visit your child's school. Talk to the administration, security, teachers, or counselor for any information that might be useful. Install Caller ID or other tracing methods, if available in your area.
Contact hotlines for parents of missing children. If you think your child was abducted or you need assistance in distributing posters nationwide. NRS can provide you with national and local referrals.
Take care of yourself and your other children. This is a difficult time and you don't have to deal with it alone. Turn to people you know and trust for support. NRS is available 24 hours every day for you.

Whirlpool began making the first fully automatic dryer, to pair with its revolutionary washer, in the 1940s. Since then, these appliances, and the solidly built parts that make them work, have earned rave reviews from customers. It's not uncommon for our technicians to see dryer models that are 25 years old and still in use -- despite the fact that the National Association of Home Builders reports that dryers typically only last around a decade. We carry quality parts -- such as belts, heating elements, gas valve coils, and fuses as well as knobs and door handles -- for many Whirlpool dryer models, including those that pair with the Cabrio, Calypso, and Duet design washers.
