There was still a large expanse of open country to be explored by an avid adventurer on two wheels following Johnston's trails.
Adventurist "Liver-Eating Johnston" roamed the Indian country of Montana and Wyoming long before Indians were two-wheel motorcycles. I spent nearly 30 years hunting the truth behind this bigger-than-life, notorious adventurer. His trail through life led me from Colorado to Wyoming, and then Montana to California and back, often well away from paved roads and friendly people.
The full truth is still out there somewhere in the Big Horn Mountains of Montana, or on the prairies of Wyoming, blowing in the wind. If he were alive today, I suspect he would be roaming the world on a motorcycle, adventuring through unsafe countries, living off his wits and experiences, likely using a fake name and being a motorcycle agnostic when it came to which mount he chose to ride. That he was an adventurer there is no doubt, but as to whether he was a good man, or bad, has yet to be determined and frankly I do not care.
In 1972 film director Sidney Pollack brought Liver-Eating Johnston to the general public in a movie titled Jeremiah Johnson, staring Robert Redford. The film told the story of a man, soured by the civilization of eastern American society in the 1840s, who braves his first wilderness winter battling the hostile elements of Montana and Wyoming as a newbie mountain man. His adventures ranged from facing grizzly bears, surviving numerous Indian attacks and living off the land, one man against the toughest elements a harsh environment could throw at him. Today it could be likened to traveling by motorcycle through remote and hostile places like Burma or parts of Brazil, stopping and spending time while trying to make the money needed to move onward.
The film was a box office winner and after seeing it had me wondering about the life of this man. How he was able to go from a newbie, literally fresh off the boat, to a wandering adventurer in the true "wild west." It is a geographical area I had grown up in, but never heard of Jeremiah Johnson.
My adventures riding motorcycles started 100 years after Jeremiah Johnson was depicted in the film covering the same ground. Instead of using a horse, as he had in the film, I was using a 1945 Indian Chief, then a Honda 305 Super Hawk, to explore the thousands of miles around my home in Montana. After seeing the movie in the 1970s, I could not remember ever hearing of Jeremiah Johnson, but did know of many of the places purportedly depicted on the screen. I was also familiar with some of the Indian tribes Johnson encountered, as well as several of the locations in the film like the Musselshell River and the Montana and Wyoming Rocky Mountains.
Open range was still along the edge of the Big Horn Mountains where once Johnston hunted and trapped.
My personal motorcycle learning curve was still quite steep in the late 1960s. On my Indian Chief and
Super Hawk
I really knew no limits, so would often ride off-road until trails dead ended or my strength or the motorcycle gave out. These early days found me following trails, then paved, along the Yellowstone River like the Bozeman Trail, or dirt roads that crossed the Crazy Woman Creeks in Wyoming at the edges of the Big Horn Mountains - places referred to in the film. I knew the names, knew where they were, but those areas shown in the film did not match. For instance, I could not recall seeing many Aspen trees where I had been riding, yet in the film there were many. The same with red sandstone rocks, again aplenty in the film. Sometime in the late 1970s I learned the reason was because the film had been shot entirely in the state of Utah where Aspen and sandstone were more prevalent.
Flags started to go up in my acceptance of what had been portrayed in the film. I stopped to ask questions at Crow Agency in Montana, the central government of the Crow Nation - the Indians in the film Johnson was shown as having fought and killed after they killed his wife and foster son. I was told by a Crow elder that the film was a fictional movie, the man was not named Jeremiah Johnson, and that the character depicted was in fact a friend of the Crows, never an enemy. I can remember being chagrined when the Crow elder said to me, "Son, you watch too many movies. Quit believing what Hollywood shows you."
In the early 1980s I found a fascinating book in a souvenir shop in Sheridan, Wyoming, about a man known as "Liver-Eating Johnson," purportedly the basis for the film's Jeremiah Johnson. The book recounted tales of a man known as John Johnston (Johnston spelled with a "t") who had lived as a frontier adventurer, tried gold mining, hunted and trapped animals to survive, and killed many Indians to become known by the moniker of Liver-Eating Johnson for having eaten raw, the liver of a Crow Indian he had killed. Who was I to believe, a Crow tribal elder or a published author?
My personal hunt intensified. Rides on more modern motorcycles to destinations like Sturgis, South Dakota, or Cheyenne, Wyoming, had me vectoring off the paved highways to follow dirt and gravel roads, sniffing out leads to where the adventurer might have left his mark 100 years before. Sometimes the roads or trails would end at a stream I could not cross with my motorcycle, but I could see how Johnston on his horse would've easily managed the fast-moving, deep water. To get across these streams I would often have to ride back to the pavement, use a modern bridge, and then try to find a way back to where Johnston and his horse

would have crossed.
Johnston's trail led me from Fort Laramie, Wyoming, to Fort Fetterman, along the Bozeman Trail. A small marker along the route told of how Fort Laramie, the city of Laramie, Laramie Peak, and the Laramie Rivers were all named after Jacques La Ramie, a "free trapper" who was in the region around 1815 and "met an unknown fate, probably at the hands of Indians about 1820." It was an interesting sidebar to my hunt, and pointed to the arduous and risky environment of the territory Johnston had passed through later.
I rode the gravel and two-lane paved roads from Fort Fetterman to Fort Phil Kearney along what are now Interstate 25 and Interstate 90. It was from Fort Phil Kearney that John "Portugee" Phillips made what some historians called "The Greatest Ride in History," by horse December 24 and December 25, 1866. Phillips literally rode his horse into the ground over 236 miles in two days, through a blizzard with the temperature below zero, to report the death of Colonel William F. Fetterman and all 80 of his men, leaving Fort Phil Kearney unprotected. The horse died from exhaustion soon after arriving at Fort Laramie. Some wild tales were that Liver-Eating Johnson accompanied Phillips for much of that famous ride to help Phillips, but those are, like many other stories surrounding Johnston, tall tales and likely not the truth.
From Fort Kearney the Bozeman Trail, and likely much of the ground covered by Johnston, took me to Fort C.F. Smith on the banks of Big Horn River, at the base of the Big Horn Mountains. This trail was hard to follow as much of it was across privately owned lands, but in places I could see ruts from the settler's wagons using this route 100 years earlier. Johnston had worked as an Indian scout, freight hauler, trapper and hunter for many years along this route, likely having traversed it more than once. The route from Fort Phil Kearney to Fort C. F. Smith would have taken him three to four days by horse in the 1860s. By motorcycle, on pavement, I managed it
Some of the Bozeman Trail Johnston followed was still passable by road but some crossed private lands where I could not ride the motorcycle.
easily in three to four hours.
My hunt for the truth about Johnson took me to what was once the small Montana town of Coulson, now known as Billings, the largest city in the state. Johnston left his mark in this area for having been hired as County Deputy in November, 1882, and served there until he joined the Hardwick Wild West Show and traveled east in 1884.
Billings was a comfortable stop on my hunt for Johnston. My motorcycles were serviced in Billings, and the town had provisions for my pursuits ranging from computer repair shops to an Army/Navy surplus store for camping supplies. In between were ATMs and a modern library for research.
The wild west show Johnston joined went out of business while he was on the road with them somewhere east of the Mississippi River. He was left to find his own way home, which for him was anywhere he could survive by living off the land and his wits back in the area around Billings. He did so with the help of a small pension for having been wounded in the Civil War, trapping, and at one time even growing cabbages. At age 64 he accepted the job of sheriff of the new town of Red Lodge, Montana. He lived in a small cabin he had built three miles south of town, which has since been moved and restored in downtown Red Lodge. Today the town is a popular stop for motorcyclists riding the famed Beartooth Highway from Yellowstone Park or on a day ride out of Billings.

VA apologizes to whistleblowers facing retaliation
WASHINGTON (AP) — A top official at the Veterans Affairs Department says he is sorry that VA employees have suffered retaliation after making complaints about poor patient care, long wait times and other problems.
James Tuchschmidt, the No. 2 official at the Veterans Health Administration, the VA's health care arm, apologized on behalf of the department at a congressional hearing Tuesday night.
"I apologize to everyone whose voice has been stifled," Tuchschmidt said after listening to four VA employees testify for nearly three hours about VA actions to limit criticism and strike back against whistleblowers. "That's not what I stand for. I'm very disillusioned and sickened by all of this."
A federal investigative agency said Tuesday it was examining 67 claims of retaliation by VA supervisors against employees who filed whistleblower complaints — including 25 complaints filed since June 1, after a growing health care scandal involving long patient waits and falsified records at VA hospitals and clinics became public.
The independent Office of Special Counsel said 30 of the complaints about retaliation have passed the initial review stage and were being investigated further for corrective action and possible discipline against VA supervisors and other executives. The complaints were filed in 28 states at 45 separate facilities, Special Counsel Carolyn Lerner said.
Instead of using information provided by whistleblowers as an early warning system, the VA often "has ignored or attempted to minimize problems, allowing serious issues to fester and grow," Lerner told the House Veterans' Affairs Committee hearing. Worse, officials have retaliated against whistleblowers instead of investigating their complaints, she said.
Lerner said her office has been able to block disciplinary actions against several VA employees who reported wrongdoing, including one who reported a possible crime at a VA facility in New York.
The counsel's office also reversed a suspension for a VA employee in Hawaii who reported seeing an elderly patient being improperly restrained in a wheelchair. The whistleblower was granted full back pay and an unspecified monetary award, and the official who retaliated against the worker was suspended, Lerner said.
The VA said earlier Tuesday it was restructuring its Office of Medical Inspector following a scathing report by Lerner's agency last month.
Acting VA Secretary Sloan Gibson said the department would appoint an interim director of the medical inspector's office from outside the current office and was suspending the office's hotline immediately. All complaints would be referred to the VA's Office of Inspector General.
The head of the medical inspector's office retired June 30 following a report by the Office of Special Counsel saying that his office played down whistleblower complaints pointing to "a troubling pattern of deficient patient care" at VA facilities.
"Intimidation or retaliation — not just against whistleblowers, but against any employee who raises a hand to identify a problem, make a suggestion or report what may be a violation in law, policy or our core values — is absolutely unacceptable," Gibson said in a statement. "I will not tolerate it in our organization."

The British Airways (BA) has caused enough stress to renowned musician Ustad Amjad Ali Khan after losing his sarod.
For musicians, their instruments are often dearer to them than their own lives. Khan has conveyed his pain of being separated from the instrument saying it is priceless and is eagerly awaiting for the Airlines to trace it and secure it to him in good condition.
BA would be wise to put Khan's worries to rest and reunite him with his his sarod as past instances have proven that one has to pay dearly for angering musicians.
When United Airlines (UA) broke Canadian guitarist Dave Caroll Taylor's guitar, they couldn't have foreseen that musicians can take sweet revenge too.
Taylor did what musicians do best, compose a song on it! He wrote a protest song on about the screw up by the Airlines and put it up on YouTube. Not only did the song get 150,000 hits, the Airlines share tanked 10% with shareholders losing $180 million.

Sold Out $64.99
2009 vintage is available for $58.99
Produttori del Barbaresco Barbaresco Ovello 2008
Nebbiolo from Piedmont, Italy
Winemaker's Notes
Ovello is a ruby red color and has a bouquet that is rich and ripe with red fruit notes. Full-bodied and intense with youthful tannins on the finish.
Pairs well with fresh egg pastas, risottos, white meats, red meats, venison and cheeses.
Critical Acclaim
The Wine Advocate - "The Produttori's 2008 Barbaresco Riserva Ovello is a reference point wine for the village, even if, in truth, Ovello is a fairly diverse zone with many exposures. Firm, steely tannins support a core of expressive fruit in this vibrant, energetic Barbaresco. The 2008 is going to require considerable patience, but it is striking, even today. Sweet floral notes reappear on the vivid, utterly breathtaking finish, adding lift, precision and vibrancy. This is a stunning wine from the Produttori. The style is built on tension, energy and focus; in other words, all the qualities Ovello is known for. Anticipated maturity: 2018-2048.
Rating: 95+"
Wine & Spirits - "Produttori's members control 16 of the 21 acres of Ovello, a southwest- and west-facing cru that produced a quiet Barbaresco in 2008. The meaty tannins hint at high tones of mushrooms and vibrant cherry scents, with powerful fruit tones riding underneath. This is approachable after several hours in a decanter, and will benefit from cellar time."
Wine Spectator - "The bright cherry core is surrounded by tobacco and spice in this well-structured red. Tightens up, but ends with a sweet and savory licorice chewiness."

Produttori del Barbaresco Winery
Before 1894, Nebbiolo grapes were sold to make Barolo wine or simply labeled Nebbiolo di Barbaresco. But in 1894, Domizio Cavazza, headmaster of the Royal Enological School of Alba and a Barbaresco resident, created the first cooperative, the Cantine Sociali, by gathering together nine Barbaresco vineyard owners to make wine in the local castle that he owned. He understood well the differences between the same grape, the Nebbiolo, grown in the different areas of Barolo and Barbaresco and, for the first time, recognized it on the wine label. The Cantine Sociali was closed in the 1930s because of fascist economic rules. In 1958, the priest of the village of Barbaresco, recognizing that the only way the small properties could survive was by joining their efforts, gathered together nineteen small growers and founded the Produttori del Barbaresco. The first three vintages were made in the church basement, then in the winery built across the square where the Produttori is still located. United once again, the small growers continued the work started by Domizio Cavazza, producing only Barbaresco wine and enhancing both the reputation of the wine and the village.

About PiedmontView a map of Piedmont wineries (PEED-mont)
Notable FactsNot just regulated to red wine, Piedmont also produces some notable whites, particularly those near the district of Gavi and Asti. Gavi produces still white wine from the Cortese grape. The wine is dry with a crisp, citrus-like acidity – fairly neutral but pleasant. Arneis is another grape/wine made in the area, creating a fuller wine that displays some nuttiness in the aroma and taste. Asti is well known for its sparkling wine – in particular Asti Spumante and Moscato d'Asti. Asti Spumante is typically higher in alcohol, sweetness & fizziness, while its higher-class cousin, Mostcato d'Asti, contains lower alcohol levels, a few less bubbles, and a more restrained and delicate representation of Moscato fruit.
About Italy
A little ditty about Italy...This country has about as many wines as its had governments. With 20 different regions, hundreds of DOCs and even more indigenous varieties, the amount of wine made in Italy is mind-boggling. Most of the juice, however, remains in the country for thirsty Italians. Wine is food in Italy and its rare that a meal is consumed without a glass of vino. That said, it's not common to find many folks drinking wine without food either. In turn, it's a match, and a mighty good one at that. In fact, it's safe to say that Italian wine is a foodie wine – one that goes on the table for a myraid of meals.
For regions, the most popular are Tuscany (home of Chianti), Piedmont and the Tre-Venezie, which includes Veneto, Trentino Alto-Adige and Friuli. Other communes of note are in Southern Italy, and a few good wines are made elsewhere in the country. The islands of Sardinia and Sicily are members of the Italian winemaking community as well.

Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Crisp
- Light to medium bodied wines that are high in acid and light to medium fruit. Typically no oak.
Fruity & Smooth
- Light to medium bodied wines with lots of juicy fruit, typically medium acid and medium oak.
Rich & Creamy
- Full bodied wines that have typically undergone malo-lactic fermentation and/or spent time in oak.

What a girl wants … is some pants?!?
Christina Aguilera was snapped with her beau Matt Rutler leaving Hollywood restaurant Off Vine Monday night, and something looked to be missing … her bottoms!
The fishnet-clad crooner wore high heels, a leather jacket and a long shirt with avant-garde, Andy Warhol-inspired art patterns on it.
Aguilera, 30, made headlines last week after she took the stage at a Michael Jackson tribute concert at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, wearing an ill-fitting leotard and fishnet stockings.
PHOTOS: Christina & Matt — Hellacious In Hollywood!
For the concert fashion faux pas, Aguilera was ripped on E!'s Fashion Police Friday, where longtime rival Kelly Osbourne said she was "never [as] fat" as Aguilera is now, while Joan Rivers chirped, "Lady Marmalade got into the peanut butter again!"

text: Western blotting, also known as immunoblotting, is a widely-used technique that utilizes antibodies for the detection of a specific protein within a sample. The process involves separating protein samples by electrophoresis and then transferring to a membrane, typically nitrocellulose or PVDF. Detection often involves the use of primary and secondary antibodies where the secondary antibody is conjugated either to an enzyme, such as HRP or AP, or to a fluorescent dye. The target protein can then be visualized using chemiluminescent or chemifluorescent detection reagents, or directly using the fluorescent tag. When purchasing supplies for Western blotting, the type of sample to be analyzed should be taken into consideration. Requirements for a small, relatively pure sample will be very different than those for a crude lysate or other complex mixture.

Size of civilian federal workforce increases, but more feds eligible to retire
Thursday - 1/30/2014, 2:03pm EST
The number of civilians in the federal workforce increased from 1.88 million in 2004 to 2.13 million in 2012, with three agencies — the departments of Defense, Veterans Affairs and Homeland Security — accounting for 94 percent of that growth.
These are some of the findings in a new report from the Government Accountability Office entitled Federal Workforce: Recent Trends in Federal Civilian Employment and Compensation.
"At DOD, officials said that converting certain positions from military to civilian, as well as the growth of the agency's acquisition and cybersecurity workforce, contributed to this overall increase," the report stated. "At VA, officials said the increased demand for medical and health-related services for military veterans drove most of the growth in personnel levels. DHS officials said the increase in employment was due in large part to the nation's border security requirements."
Across the government, the majority of the increases from 2004 to 2012 were in areas of employment that required a higher skill and education level, such as professional or administrative positions, rather than more blue-collar type jobs, which remained stable.
GAO also found that retirement remained flat — at about 3.5 percent — from 2004 to December 2007, when the recession began. Retirement rates then dropped off to around 2.5 percent during the recession in 2009, followed by a return to pre-recession rates in 2011 and 2012.
"With respect to retirement eligibility, of the 1.96 million permanent career employees on board as of September 2012, nearly 270,000 (14 percent) were eligible to retire," the report said. "By September 2017, nearly 600,000 (around 31 percent) will be eligible to retire, government-wide."
As in earlier reports, GAO pointed out that large numbers of retirement-eligible employees in the federal government could be a cause for concern in the future.
"Strategic human capital planning that is integrated with broader organizational strategic planning will be essential for ensuring that — going forward — agencies have the talent, skill, and experience mix they need to cost- effectively execute their mission and program goals," the report said.
Governmentwide spending on compensation for full-time equivalent (FTE) positions grew at an average rate of 1.2 percent per year, starting at $106,097 in 2004 and ending at $116,828 in 2012. GAO credited much of that growth to an increase in the cost of personnel benefits at a rate of 1.9 percent per year.
"In terms of employee pay per FTE, spending rose at an average annual rate of 1 percent per year (a 7.9 percent increase overall)," the report said. "However, as a proportion of governmentwide federal discretionary spending, spending on compensation remained constant from 2004 to 2010 (at 14 percent), with slight increases in 2011 and 2012."

Agencies fight uphill battle to retain critical knowledge and skills

Thank you so much for all who have liked and shared my videos, and joined me on Facebook/Instagram/Youtube, etc. I love your feedback, it really is what keeps me motivated and pushes me to draw and create. Many of you have followed my YouTube channel since I began 6 years ago...wow, has it been that long? Time flies when you are having fun!
Sometimes I don't have the time to answer all of your comments (homeschooling, kids, you know how it is!!) but I want you to know that I read everything and I appreciate every word. I feel bad sometimes that I don't have the time to create videos for you every week. Some people have even asked me to make a book of drawing tutorials, and I would so love to do something like this for you.
For some time, I have been considering starting a Patreon campaign (a place where people could pledge an amount each month to allow me to pursue artistic projects...sort of like a patron of the arts), but I am not sure if it is something people would be interested in supporting, so I need your feedback. I have three questions for you:
1. If I started a Patreon campaign, would you be interested in supporting it?
2. If you answered 'YES', what would you like to see me achieve (eg: more regular videos, a 'how to draw' book, projects in other media, a comic strip, printed goods, videos with better visual and audio quality, art classes in the real world...any other ideas?)
3. If you answered 'YES', what sort of rewards would you like to receive for your monetary support? (You can see what other artists are offering on Patreon for ideas)
This is just a spark of an idea at the moment, but I would truly appreciate any feedback you could give me at this stage. Here is more info about Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/
Thank you for taking time out of your day to spend time on my little blog :)
Happy drawing!
Miraculous Mosquito.

The last few days New York Giants star defensive end Osi Umenyiora ha been in the training room, getting treatment for his "sore knee" during his holdout for a new contract, but CEO of the New York Giants John Mara believes the 2 time pro bowler will be a Giant this upcoming season.
Umenyiora is supposed to make $7.1 million in base salary over the next two seasons, but Osi believes he is worth more, current and former teammates agree.
Former New York Giant defensive end and captain Michael Strahan wrote on his twitter account "He's underpaid so what is there to talk about? RT @JeffroBartlett: @michaelstrahan Can u please talk some sense into Osi for us #Giant fans?"
In a recent interview with New York Post's Steve Serby, Strahan stated, "He's been underpaid for a long time. Be fair. I made more in the sixth year of a seven-year contract — a throwaway year — even after paying $200,000 worth of fines than Osi will make this year and next year. That's ridiculous."
Despite Umenyiora's season ending injury in 2008, Osi has played all 16 season games in 2007, 2009, and 2010, showing that he is durable and can play week in and out. Last season, Osi had 11.5 sacks with 10 forced fumbles. Thats deserving of more then $3.5M a year.
Umenyiora has claimed in a sword affidavit that his been filed in a federal court, that Giants' general manager Jerry Reese prior to the 200 promised if Umenyiora outplayed his contract (which he believes he as) Reese would reconstruct Umenyiora's contract or trade him to a team that would.
ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that the Giants have offered Osi incentives that would increase his 2011 salary if he recorded 13.5 sacks this season (2 sacks less than last season). Umenyiora has asked that the Giants get rid of his last year on his contract (2012) if he was to accept the offer.
He is an elite player at the position, and Mara knows that. That's why Osi hasn't left the Giants for a trade. Mara wants to keep him and wants to resolve the issue.
"Yes. I think it will be resolved and he'll be a Giant this year," Mara said to the Star Ledger. "It's something we can work out. We're already talking to his agent to do something incentive wise with his contract to make him happy."
Umenyiora was a key piece in the 2007 Giants run to the Super Bowl, working alongside Michael Strahan and Justin Tuck. The Giants know if they don't make him happy, they would be losing a big part of their once (and can return to) dominant defense.
We want him on this team," Mara continued. "He belongs here. He's had a great career here. He adds a lot to this team. I always say, the reason we were able to win Super Bowl XLII was that they couldn't block our front. That was the first time all year Tom Brady faced that kind of pressure. That, to me, is the heart of our team. We're hoping we can work it out soon."
The Giants could have Justin Tuck, Osi Umenyiora, Mathias Kiwanuka, and Jason Pierre-Paul on the defensive line if the Giants and Osi can work something out. Now that's a good line, with a great secondary (even though Prince Amukamara broke his foot).
The Giants need Osi Umenyiora, he has done so many good things for this team in the past 4 years. He is a great pass rusher, and even better at smacking the ball out of his opponent's hands.

Chaldeans In Metro Detroit
August 11 2011
2 comments
They are an ethnic group that is defined by geography, religion and language. But here in the United States, many of us categorize Chaldeans by their frequent profession — merchant.
Martin Manna, Executive Director of the Chaldean American Chamber of Commerce says, "Of 84 supermarkets in the city of Detroit, about 75 are owned by Chaldeans. 61% of Chaldeans own at least one business. 39% own two or more. Selling is part of the heritage of Chaldeans — it is a heritage that goes back to ancient times."

Chaldeans have a history spanning about 5500 years and dating back to Mesopotamia, which is the land between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers. It includes present day Iraq. But what separates Chaldeans from other Iraqis is their religion and language
Manna says, "Chaldeans are from the Arab world, but they are not Arab." Chaldeans are defined by their language, Aramaic, which is the language of Christ. Manna also told us Chaldeans are defined by their religi, "They're Eastern Right Catholic which means they have their own right within the Roman Catholic Church.
The first Chaldeans came to southeast MIchigan in the early twentieth century. The majority came in the late 1960′s as Saddam Hussein's Baath Party came into power in Iraq.
There were three main reasons they chose Detroit. First — proximity to Canada, because there was already a Chaldean community in Windsor. Second — there was a Lebanese Maronite Catholic community here that Chaldeans could relate to and Chaldeans could attend their Masses. Third — the availability of jobs in the growing auto industry.
Since many Chaldean immigrants did not speak English they were not able to get jobs in the auto plants. So they turned to the business they knew.
Manna told us,"Historically Chaldeans have always been merchants and understood that industry." So when major supermarket chains moved out of the city, Chaldeans took over.
Shirley Stancato, President and CEO of New Detroit, explains, "They found that vacuum. They made a decision to fill it because they felt they could be profitable in that area."
Eventually there were clashes between merchants– some Chaldean, some Arab–and their African American customers.
Toni McIlwain, President of Ravendale Community, Inc., said after a couple of shootings and some beatings, she knew something needed to be done. Members of the community had other complaints about some of the store owners. They repeated the myth that Chaldeans don't pay taxes the first seven years they're here — a common belief that is completely false. Community members also believed store owners were talking about them when they didn't speak English. And they complained that store owners wouldn't hire African Americans.
Store owners had complaints too. There was theft and loitering. According to Manna, 100 Chaldeans have been murdered in their place of business.
Members of the Ravendale Community and Chaldean store owners have begun a dialogue. Over a nine month period they met to discuss how each side could help the other. They came up with a set of principles that each side could abide by. For instance, store owners agreed to speak English in front of customers. Customers agreed not to use vulgar language in the stores.
And store owners became more involved in the community. The owner of Harper Food Center in Ravendale donated paint, and young people from the neighborhood painted a wall by the store that had been covered with graffiti. The store also donated scrubs for students in the community's medical assistant program.
At Mike's Fresh Market on Detroit's west side, the owner has received numerous awards from the community. The store is recognized for a number of gestures, including donating everything the community needed for a neighborhood cookout a few days ago.
The Chaldean community in southeast Michigan is expected to continue to grow. But the younger generation is interested in a much wider variety of careers.

Message: I'm glad that Chaldeans are making a difference. I want to see a Chaldean open a fashion stores here in Downtown Detroit, where, people who live and work, can purchase while they are on their lunch break or just shopping. This would be definitely be helpful for the downtown; because, when visitors from out of this state come, they can take something home to their families from state.

Closing Time: Anthony Ranaudo, Mike Napoli help Red Sox sweep Reds
|08.13.14 at 3:37 pm ET
On a day when he didn't have his best stuff, Anthony Ranaudo gave a glimpse of a pitcher who is willing to compete and grind through innings to give his team an opportunity. On Wednesday, his performance was good enough to allow the Red Sox to fashion a 5-4 win.
The big right-hander, making his second big league start, attacked the strike zone even on a day when he elicited few swings and misses. The result was some hard hit balls en route to an eight-hit yield that included a pair of homers, a double and a triple, but an ability to limit the damage to four runs while walking one and striking out one. He threw 61 of 91 pitches (67 percent) for strikes.
Ranaudo has now given the Sox six innings in both of his first two big league starts, offering a suggestion that he hasn't been overwhelmed by the initial challenge of competing at the highest level. He became the first Red Sox pitcher to win each of his first two big league starts since Justin Masterson in 2008.
The Red Sox went 5-3 on the road trip, finishing with three straight victories.
— Mike Napoli slammed a two-run, opposite-field homer and drove in three runs while going 1-for-4. The homer was Napoli's third in August, a mark that leads the team, and his 15th of the year. Napoli is hitting just .206 this month but with an .870 OPS.
— Yoenis Cespedes went 1-for-3 with a run-scoring single, giving him eight runs batted in over his last four games.
— Jackie Bradley Jr. went 1-for-3, with a single up the middle in his first plate appearance that snapped an 0-for-35 stretch.
— Junichi Tazawa had a perfect eighth inning that included a pair of strikeouts, his first multi-strikeout game since July 27.
— For the 10th time in 11 games, Brock Holt collected at least one hit, going 1-for-3 with a double (his first extra-base hit since Aug. 1) and a walk. Wednesday marked the third time in August that Holt has reached multiple times in a game.
— Cespedes had to leave the game for a pinch-hitter due to what the team described as a right hand contusion. Manager John Farrell told reporters that Cespedes jammed his hand and was taken out for precautionary reasons.
— Dan Butler went 0-for-4, and he's still looking for his first big league hit. The 27-year-old is 0-for-7 in his two contests.
— Will Middlebrooks punched out in his only plate appearance after entering the game as a pinch-hitter. Since Saturday, he's 1-for-15 with seven strikeouts.

Hi ladies, with my new breast changes (they didn't change much in the first trimester but are making up for it now) I am remembering how it was to establish breastfeeding the first time around. My daughter and I enjoyed a happy, healthy nursing relationship until just before she turned 13 months, but those first couple weeks were hard. Until this week my memory was of the effortless, painless nursing that was most of the first year. But now I'm remembering the beginning. For those of you who have breastfed more than one baby, how was the beginning for you the second time around?
Breastfeeding the second time around
2nd child, latch was impossibly painful, pumped for a week, toughened up and nursed til 10 mos.
3rd child was a barracuda and made me bleed at every session, pumped for 3 mos until I was able to switch to nursing only. Nursed 18 mos.
So basically just got worse for me, a little scared!!

So quiet down cobwebs. Dust go to sleep. I'm rocking my baby and babies dont keep.
I'm glad to hear all the positive comments!
I didn't have a horrible time with DS, but he wasn't a great latcher. My nipples were cracked and sore for about 2-3 weeks, but luckily my DH bought the gel pads and kept a spare in the fridge! I didn't really get engorged ever, but I think my milk came in the day I left the hospital... the LC said she thought it was b/c they were so heavy (I think they were just big), but when I got home my BBs felt like they were on fire! I had to sit there with cool compresses on BBs and was sweating my A$$ off b/c it was 90° outside! Then for about 4 or 5 months, I would get clogs that hurt so bad, I think I got a few minor infections from it (fever, but no antibiotics)... started taking Lecithin and the clogs stopped! I guess I have sticky milk.
At least we'll all know what we went through before and be prepared for it all the second time around!

I have a friend who ebf all of her 6 kids. She told me that the first month is painful and difficult no matter what. She thought it would be easy and painfree the second time around, but it wasn't.
sahm to DD b. 4/2011 and DD b. 6/2013
I had a horrible time with breastfeeding. We had severe latch problems, by the time we left the hospital Claire was refusing to go near the breast. She would fight and scream and wanted nothing to do with it. But a few days later she was stuck to me non stop. But I didn't have enough milk for her, she would nurse and then pull off and cry because she was hungry and not getting enough. I was supplementing with formula but turned out she has a milk protein allergy. We switched to soy formula but I still never had enough milk, and we had to use nipple shields for a while because she refused to latch directly onto the breast. She ended up getting most of her nutrients and calories from the formula. She comfort nursed until about 4 months old and then one day decided she didn't want the boob anymore. I think part of the reason she quit was because my mom and sil were giving her pacifiers when I was at work. She is a big sucker. She just really likes to suck and would have complete meltdowns while I was gone and they had to give her a pacifier to quiet her down. She would scream for hours on end if she coudn't nurse or have a pacifier.

Awesome post! I BF'd my DD until I went back to work at 6 month and then I pumped/BF'd and supplemented with formula until 12 mo. All with one boob! Other than a couple blocked ducts I think it went pretty well so I'm hopeful for number 2!

Flour Bluff grad 'no doubt' a leader on soccer field
Slow start not a problem for McClymont
CORPUS CHRISTI - Far away from home and unable to step foot on the soccer field, Kaitlin McClymont found herself in a frustrating situation after arriving to Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, N.J.
The former standout goalkeeper for Flour Bluff High School showed up for her first practice with the Ducks' soccer team in 2008 and was quickly sent back to her dorm after it was learned she was experiencing a relapse of mononucleosis.
"I thought I was over it," McClymont said.
But after rejoining the team two weeks later, McClymont became a fixture in net and has compiled a 30-14-1 record for the NCAA Division III Ducks.
Earlier this month, McClymont was named the Empire 8 Athletic Conference Defensive Player of the Week after posting shutouts against Eastern University and Ursinus College.
"Kaitlin is one of the best goalkeepers in Division III," said Stevens head coach Jeff Parker, who recruited McClymont after seeing play in tournaments in Texas. "There may be more physical goalkeepers with cleaner and softer hands and more imposing size, but her greatest strength is her determination. She will do anything to keep the ball out of the net."
The 5-foot-8 McClymont had to adjust to watching much of the games her freshman year, but still posted a 7-2 record.
"I only played about a third of the time," McClymont said. "It was kind of weird after coming from high school where I was used to starting every single game and playing every single minute."
"It was really tough for her," Parker said of McClymont's freshman year. "She was out for a full two weeks before we found out what she was capable of doing."
McClymont was 4-6 as a sophomore, but enjoyed a breakout season in 2010 when she compiled an impressive 15-4-1 record while helping the Ducks win their first-ever Empire 8 title and reach the second round of the NCAA Division III Tournament.
"My sophomore year, I was able to show more of what I can do," said McClymont, who received All-Empire 8 honorable mention last season. "I got to the point where I could start telling people what to do."
"She's our team leader," Parker said. "I don't think there's any doubt that she's in charge. She's one of the most competitive people I've been around."
McClymont was rewarded for her 2010 performance by being named a team captain this season. She has a 4-2-1 record and is allowing less than one (0.90) goal per game. She has a .872 save percentage and has allowed six goals in 599 minutes.
"Not only have I improved as a player over the years, but I have improved with my teammates," McClymont said. "I can trust them and they can completely trust me."
McClymont is majoring in mechanical engineering and taking 21 credit hours of classes this semester. She has also worked as an intern for the New York City Transit Authority while at Stevens.
"It's busy, but I wouldn't have it any other way," McClymont said. "Soccer is definitely what keeps me sane."
McClymont said she would like to either design mechanical devices for orthopedic surgery or go to medical school to become an orthopedic surgeon. She would like to first finish her soccer career with another conference title, a trip to the NCAA tournament and possibly play her final game in her home state.
"I'd put this up against any team I've played on here," McClymont said of the Ducks, who are 4-3-2 and 0-0-1 in in Empire 8 play. "I think it's reasonable for us to win the conference for a second year in a row and I think we can make it at least to the Sweet 16. I have my sights on coming back to Texas and the Final Four (in San Antonio)."

Great game, I understand you put a lot of work in this, but I just can't give it 10/10. It just didin't have something other games have.
Jan 28th, 2014 0 people agree 0 people don't
Great graphics for a free indie game, balanced, fun gameplay, nice level design, intentionally easy to mod (skin and map creation is encouraged) and overall just a cool game.
If this had a story mode or somesuch I would give it a perfect score for being a perfect game!
Jan 25th, 2014 0 people agree 0 people don't
Es un juego entretenido, tiene buenos graficos y efectos, seria muy cool un modo arcade con historia, pero por ahora le dare 10 puntos por devolverme las ganas de jugar un videojuego

Part of concert under the auspices of the Brahma Gana Sabha
Chennai: A live concert DVD of Devi Kshetra Kritis by M. Lalitha and M. Nandini has been released by S.A.K. Durga, ethnomusicologist. The programme was part of the concert held under the auspices of the Brahma Gana Sabha.
Dr. Durga said that the sisters, who give violin duet performances, had always maintained their classical base.
"Novel idea"
D.S. Ramanujam, Secretary, Karthik Fine Arts, where the performance of the Devi Kshetra Kritis was staged, said that with Dr. Lalitha's research background as a Ph.D. in music, the project on Devi Kshetra Kritis was a novel idea.
Wide variety
The album contains compositions on the different Devi deities in Chidambaram, Pudukottai, Kancheepuram, Tiruvaiyaru, Tirunelveli, Madurai and Thirumayilai.
Visuals of the deities and the temples are also featured in the DVD.
The compositions of Gopalakrishna Bharati, Harikesanallur Muthiah Bhagavathar, Subbaraya Sastri, Thyagaraja, Muthuswamy Dikshithar and Papanasam Sivan find a place in the album. The DVD release was followed by a concert by the violin duo with Kumbakonam Ramakrishnan on the mridangam and G. Ravichandran on the ghatam.
The album is brought out by Santhananda Soundscapes. It is priced at Rs. 150 and is available at the Sankara Hall. Details: 98401 22729.

I'm a scientific and research computing specialist by day and a modder by night. My modding career started with mutators for the original Red Orchestra: Combined Arms, winner of the inaugural Make Something Unreal Contest. When Tripwire Interactive released Red Orchestra: Ostfront I join the Sandstorm Productions team and worked on Mare Nostrum. That effort culminated in Mare Nostrum being the first ever non-Source engine mod to be released over Steam. This time around I formed Pop Smoke and started work on In Country: Vietnam, a mod of the upcoming Tripwire Interactive title Red Orchestra: Heroes of Stalingrad.

Beyonce covers April's 'Shape' mag. / Shape
Beyoncé didn't give herself much time to shed her baby weight.
As the cover girl for the April issue of Shape, the superstar shares that she gained 57 pounds during her pregnancy. "I didn't have a lot of time to lose the weight because I scheduled a show three months after I gave birth, which I would never do again!" she says with a laugh.
Beyoncé says a healthy diet and dance workouts helped her reclaim her pre-baby body, which sizzles in the photo shoot.
"Talking about weight can be a very touchy subject for women, but Beyoncé was willing to do it because she wanted to make every woman out there feel like she too could achieve what she did," says Tara Kraft, Shape editor in chief.
"I am not a person who is naturally very thin. I have to work to keep my body in shape," Beyoncé says in a behind-the-scenes video from the shoot. "Everyone is not supposed to be the same. Be healthy, but be happy with the beautiful things that make you you."
