The AppAdvice iPad App Of The Week: BATTLESHIP for iPad, $2.99, released June 23
EA's Digital Version Of Battleship Finally Comes To The iPad
A long wait but Electronic Arts has finally released the iPad-native version of Battleship. Though similar to the longstanding iPhone and iPod touch version, Battleship for iPad is more than a simple graphics enhancement and spreading user interface elements out to best utilize the larger screen.
Indeed, Battleship for iPad has better graphics with additional animations and cutscenes, however, it seems EA used this opportunity to provide at least a couple big improvements to make the game easier to play. While it may not seem like much to some, the iPad version's more realistic and vibrant player boards help to make items and actions that much easier to see, which should reduce mistakes and speed up gameplay.
New Releases
Avadon: The Black Fortress, $9.99, released June 18
You may recall, the preview announcement of Avadon: The Black Fortress coming to the iPad. It appears we were right, and the game is now available on not just the Mac, but on the iPad as well.
This is a great buy for iPad RPG fans because the game is actually half the price of the Mac version. It is probably the only title available on the iPad that features such a full-fledged computer RPG experience with all the bells and whistles of deep micromanagement that these games usually have. There are many skills and upgrades to consider when building characters up.
FL Studio Mobile HD, $19.99, released June 21
FL Studio Releases Mobile Versions
FL Studio is now available for iOS devices. The app allows you to record, edit, sequence, and mix music. Best of all, for a limited time, the app is available for a reduced price.
Created by Beligian-based Image-Line Software, the app (which is available in separate versions for the iPhone/iPod touch and iPad) allows you to create and save complete multi-track music projects on your iDevice.
You can also export those files to the FL Studio Desktop version for addition customization. Unfortunately, the mobile versions lack support for VST instruction and the scope of the sequencer has been scaled back from 128 tracks to 99.
Roadshow, free, released June 21
Bring The Popcorn: Roadshow App Brings Offline Video Viewing To iPad
Saving videos to your iPad just got easier thanks to the Roadshow app, debuting this week in the App Store. Created by Fetch Software, the free app claims to be the first to offer "a one-stop, all-in-one solution for offline web video viewing on the iPad."
Does it measure up?
Roadshow believes saving videos to the iPad should be quick and easy. To guarantee this, its creators have implemented a simple three-step process.
Here are the steps:
- Browse favorite websites to find great videos.
- Tap the videos to save when they appear on Roadshow's found videos shelf.
- Play back the saved videos anytime, anywhere — even when not connected to the Internet.
And yes, it works.
Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing, $4.99 (universal), released June 23
Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing Comes To The App Store
Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing is finally hitting the App Store and looks every bit as good as the various console versions of the title that have been previously released. This is a full-fledged kart racing game in the vein of Mario Kart, but with Sega characters rather than Nintendo's. The game has been rated quite highly on consoles and should not disappoint racing fans on the iPad or iPhone.

Minor tweaks have also been made to the Arcade mode, meaning it's now better than ever.
Currently, Fruit Ninja (iPhone and iPod touch) is available to download for $0.99, while Fruit Ninja HD (iPad) is available for $2.99. Both paid versions of the application have received the update (1.7 and 1.3).

Nairobi — It is a new dawn in Africa. A continent once regarded as "dark" is now demonstrating intellectual capability, as affirmed by a gradual emergence of prominent Africans to key leadership positions in global institutions. One of the latest of such acknowledgement is the appointment of Rev Dr Sam Kobia, a Kenyan, as General Secretary of the giant World Council of Churches. AANA's Joseph K'Amolo profiles Rev Kobia's ascension to the helm of the world ecumenical body.
Once again, another of Africa's sons has been chosen to steer a global institution. Rev Dr Sam Kobia was recently elected the new General Secretary of the World Council of Churches (WCC), for the next seven years.
His journey to this achievement, was however, long and winding, but made possible by a consistent commitment to serve the Christian community.
Rev Kobia, thus, has a long history in the Christian faith. He was born in 1947 in some remote village in what is today called Meru North, near Mt Kenya.
His parents were among the first generation of Christians in the area.
He grew up just like any ordinary Kenyan child, carrying out domestic chores in the house and looking after his father's livestock.
After completing his basic education in 1967 in his home district, young Kobia was set to start his journey in the world of theology.
In 1969, he joined St. Paul's College in Limuru town, about 30 km from Nairobi, for theological studies. He graduated in 1971 with a university diploma in theology. To expand his knowledge in this field, he immediately joined McCormic Theology Seminary, in Chicago, USA.
Rev Kobia then decided to fine-tune his career by blending his theological knowledge with another discipline. He studied city planning at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, in the USA. This was in 1976.
In 1993, he was awarded a Doctor of Divinity by the Christian Theological Seminary in Indianapolis, USA. He completed studies for a PhD in Religious Studies in June this year, at Fairfax University in Louisiana, USA.
So much for his studies. Rev Kobia's involvement in the ecumenical movement stretches a long period. It started while he was at the theological college in Limuru, where he was involved in both the Student Christian Movement and the World Students Christian Federation.
He had the opportunity to broaden his horizon when he joined Tema Urban Industrial Mission in Ghana, under the auspices of the Christian Council of Ghana. Here, he was part of a team involved in industrial chaplaincy work, as well as in urban development work of the port city of Tema.
In 1974, the National Council of Churches of Kenya (NCCK) hired him on full time basis as the industrial advisor to the council. This marked the beginning of his full-time involvement in the ecumenical movement.
Four years later, he joined the WCC as executive secretary for urban rural mission. He did not stay there long, for in 1984, he returned to Kenya to work as director of development co-ordination at the NCCK.
Destined to climb up the ladder, he was elected the NCCK General Secretary in 1987. He served in this position until 1993, when he returned to the WCC to take up a position as Executive Director of Unit III on Justice, Peace and Creation.
He then served as Director of Cluster on Issues and Themes between 1999 and 2002, after which he became Special Representative of the General Secretary, for Africa.
With this vast experience, it came as no surprise therefore, that WCC recognised him as the most suitable for the position of general secretary, which he officially assumes in January next year.
But what does Rev Kobia say about his appointment as the new WCC leader, and what this means for Africa?
"I consider my appointment as WCC General Secretary not as an individual honour. It is an honour to Africa, since I am the first African to assume this responsibility. I hope it will be a source of inspiration for many Africans within the ecumenical movement and beyond," he says.
Indeed, his sentiments are apt. That an African has been honoured to lead the umbrella body of the faith community that comprises a fellowship of 342 churches in more than 120 countries, is a pride to the continent.
Rev Kobia now counts among several Africans holding high profile global positions, both in the secular and ecumenical fronts.
Kofi Annan from Ghana is in charge of the United Nations as its General Secretary, while in the ecumenical circles, Rev Dr Setri Nyomi, also a Ghanaian, is the General Secretary of the World Alliance of Reformed Churches. Others are Rev Dr Ishmael Noko from Zimbabwe, and Kenya's Dr Musimbi Kanyoro, who head the Lutheran World Federation and the Young Women Christian Association respectively.
Rev Kobia notes that his greatest challenge will be how to respond to the world that is becoming increasingly violent. He intends to build on the work already done through WCC's Decade to Overcome Violence (2001-2010) initiative, and blend it with his personal involvement in the peace process for Sudan, in particular, and for the Great Lake region in general.
His other challenge will be to nurture inter-religious dialogue. He concedes that religion is assuming a central role in the affairs of human beings, hence the need to use faith to create harmonious living in various aspects of life.
For him, the persistent poverty afflicting Africa and other Third World continents is of great concern. He acknowledges the huge challenge in fighting poverty, but notes that WCC will seek to promote abundant life for all.
The outgoing WCC General Secretary, Rev Dr Konrad Raiser, shares these sentiments. According to him, the growing importance of inter-religious dialogue and the response of the Christian community to the situation of religious plurality and tension are among the challenges during the decade ahead.
As he leaves office, he acknowledges that Africa will be the continent where the future of Christianity will be decided in the 21st Century.
This, he says, is because a new face of Christianity is emerging in the continent, which could have far-reaching implications for the ecumenical movement.
For this, he notes, it is important that the WCC is led into this period by a general secretary from Africa.

Challenge states attempt to freeze contract negotiations ahead of salary cap law
New Jersey school officials are challenging Governor Chris Christie in state Superior Court about using his administration's proposed salary cap to freeze current contracts which are under negotiation.
The New Jersey Association of School Administrators argued that acting education commissioner Rochelle Hendricks broke the law by telling 21 executive county superintendents that any new or renegotiated contracts must comply with the salary cap, which has not yet been formally adopted. These state-appointed county officials have the power to approve or reject local superintendent deals.
Some school boards want to get contract offers finalized quickly but they appear to be stuck. The Christie administration has proposed salary caps that would officially take effect Feb. 7. The caps would affect new contracts, and would bar almost all district chiefs from taking home more than the governor's $175,000 in base pay. The proposal must have three public hearings before becoming official; although only one has been held so far.
The Press of Atlantic City reports the proposed regulations cap superintendent salaries at between $125,000 and $175,000, based on district enrollment, with some additional payments allowed for superintendents who serve more than one district, or who head a district of more than than 10,000 students.
According to the proposed guidelines, the education commissioner "may approve a waiver of the maximum salary" for districts larger than 10,000 students "on a per-case basis."
The regulations, first discussed in July and introduced Nov. 1, would kick in only at the end of existing contracts - prompting a flurry of expedited negotiations in districts throughout New Jersey. Salaries in districts of Parsippany's size would be capped at $175,000.
The Parsippany-Troy Hills school board recently voted to circumvent the cap by extending the contract of its superintendent, LeRoy Seitz, who now makes $212,000.
According to the Daily Record, Morris County Executive County Superintendent Kathleen Serafino, who was on vacation when the board voted, informed the K-12 district on Nov. 15 that she never approved Seitz' contract as required by state law. The education department ordered a freeze on new contracts pending a review of all superintendent contracts statewide.
On Friday the Parsippany-Troy Hills board filed a motion in the appellate division of superior court, asking it to require the Morris executive county superintendent to approve the disputed contract, according to the New Jersey Association of School Administrators, which filed papers to join as a friend of the court.
Mycentraljersey.com reports that an informal survey of area school districts shows that most superintendents' contracts expire a few years after the governor's proposed salary cap is expected to take effect – and most boards of education are not planning contract talks to circumvent the Feb. 7 deadline.
Meanwhile, legislation that would require the development of a "model" superintendent contract passed the Assembly Monday. The bill seeks to have the education commissioner, New Jersey Association of School Administrators and New Jersey School Boards Association team up to write a template for contracts to save districts negotiation time and money. The model contract would address salary, health insurance, pension benefits, sick days and vacation leave.
"Superintendent's contracts should be fair, consistent and most importantly transparent," said a release from Assemblyman Patrick J. Diegnan, Jr., D-Middlesex, head of the Assembly education committee, according to NorthJersey.com.
The Department of Education is holding public hearings on the new salary cap regulations, including one scheduled for 6 to 8 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 2, at Cumberland County College in Vineland.

Bold straight back to winning ways after disappointment of first league defeat.
Bold bounced back from their first defeat of the North West Men's League season with a comprehensive victory against the Oldham side. The Bold side with 7 enforced changes from the team beaten by Halton Farnworth Hornets were determined to return to winning ways and dominated the game from the early exchanges throughout most of the 80 minutes.
Despite being faced by a much bigger opposition side the Miners pack laid the foundations for the win and led from the front to give hooker Kelvin Walkden and halfbacks Andy Dobson and Ste Dumphy the opportunity to continually launch attacks. Bold were guilty of some poor discipline to gift the opposition more posession and territory but apart from a solitary try midway through the first half the Miners defence held strong especially when having to defend close to their own line.
Bold tries came through hat tricks from both Kelvin Walkden and the returning Adam Welsby who was impressive in his first game back for a number of weeks, and a try each from Andy Dobson, Paul Johnson and Andy Lynch. Adam Welsby added 4 conversions and Kelvin Walkden with 2.
Captain Paul Johnson was once again the top tackler and he was also selected as Grundy Excavations Man of the Match in an outstanding all round display.

My Review
When I hit it correctly off the fairway, it is amazing to watch the ball leave like a bullet, penetrating straight out on a low trajectory, then kick into overdrive and change to a medium or even higher trajectory as if the after burners kicked in. Though the 3W is my toughest club for consistency, this Titleist gives me a lot more confidence from tight lies. I have hit some of my most memorable shots of last season with it. It has rivaled my driver for distance when struck correctly.

FOR every article praising the wonders of the Net, you can usually find another pointing out how unsuitable it is for sending anything but rude pictures. This is largely because many of the security systems in use just aren't good enough to trust with valuable information such as credit card numbers.
In response to this criticism, many Netizens are trying to tighten up security, by scrutinising the claims of companies selling Net connection software to make sure that their programs are as secure as they claim.
One of the first companies to come under fire was Netscape. After a couple of well-publicised hack attacks, the company's response was to offer a "Bugs Bounty" to anyone who can find flaws in new versions of its Web browser.

The Oxford public school district says registration for the upcoming school year is now available online and must be completed by all students in the district.
All students in the district must complete the School Registration form online this year and is necessary before students are considered enrolled in school.
Children who are pre-registered as new students as well as returning students will receive letters this week with their specific snapcode (a specific passcode for each student).
Each student will receive a unique snapcode. When parents receive a letter with their child's specific snapcode, the district office says they will need to visit www.oxfordsd.org/registration, enter their child's snapcode, and complete the school registration online. If parents or families do not receive a letter in the mail, they are encouraged to check in with their child's school to request their child's snapcode next week.
Students who are new to the school district and did not pre-register (students who have never attended school in the Oxford School District and who did not pre-register) will need to register online as well at www.oxfordsd.org/registration.
For new students (students who have never attended school in the Oxford School District) or students moving to a new school building (Kindergarten, second, fourth, sixth, and ninth-grade students), parents and families of these students will be required to provide important documents for their child. These required documents should be brought to the Oxford High School Commons area July 22 – July 26 between 8 a.m. and 5:30 p.m.
Required documentation for students new to the Oxford School District or students moving to a new school building include:
• two (2) proofs of residence – one which must be a mortgage document or property deed, an apartment or home lease, or a Filed Homestead Exemption Application Form;
• a current utility bill (water, gas or electricity)
• Mississippi Immunization 121 Form/updated immunization record (for students entering Kindergarten and seventh grade ONLY)
• an original birth certificate (for students entering Kindergarten ONLY)
The two current proofs of residence on file for a student to be eligible for enrollment in the Oxford School District must be updated and documented when a student moves to a new school.
Students that are entering seventh grade at Oxford Middle School must have an updated immunization record (Mississippi Immunization 121 Form) showing all required immunizations including TDaP (tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis) vaccination. The Mississippi State Department of Health requires the TDaP (tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis) vaccination "booster" for all students entering seventh grade. Recent is defined as having received an additional TDaP booster after the age of seven.
Parents or families without Internet access can stop by the School Registration event July 22 – 26, 2013, in the Oxford High School Commons area between 8 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. for assistance with filling out the School Registration Form online.

Dog Classes and Programs:
Family Dog Training is a six week course designed to involve the whole family. Family members learn to teach the same exercises using the same hand signals and words. The dogs become increasingly comfortable in the presence of other dogs and children in the structured classroom setting. Class size and instructor ratios are the key in giving each family personal attention. We focus on good house manners, such as greeting visitors without jumping up, settling down when the energy level is too high, taking walks with the family instead of pulling them down the road, and coming when called. We use humane training methods incorporating positive reinforcement and a step by step approach stressing success at each level.
Our classes incorporate canine agility equipment and a simple rally obedience course to add interest and challenge along with obstacle training and work stations. Graduation night includes off leash recalls, agility, and our own Howl-ee-wood Dog night with tricks by each family dog. Treats and prizes for participants are a special element for our final graduation party.
We have written and edited our own Family Dog Training manual that complements our class. This book provides a resource for our families long after the class has ended. It's filled with articles on common behavior issues, review for basic exercises and there's even a section teaching tricks the easy way!
NEW CLASS - American Kennel Club's Canine Good Citizen class - prerequisite - Family Dog Class
Head Start Puppy Training is a four week course designed to target puppies between 10 and 16 weeks of age. This class teaches the family how to create the ultimate puppy environment and sets everybody up for success! We even recommend this class for potential puppy owners. The class fields questions and concerns over typical puppy problems. House training and chew toy training and crate training are stressed in building a program to teach puppy everything he needs to know to have a long and happy life in his new home. Social contact with other puppies and children in the classroom environment provide many learning opportunities for each family learning how to "read body language" and participate in the play with appropriate rules. The puppies learn acceptable play with others of their species.
One-on-one behavior and training consultation is tailored to suit the lifestyle and needs of one family. We come to your home, and through a detailed behavior profile we help address the primary concerns and issues of the individual family dog. Together, we determine realistic and attainable goals within the timeframe of our scheduled visits.
Each of these programs is designed to help the family dog become more compliant. These programs are only successful with the dedication and work of the entire family. There are no magic pills or quick fixes. Success with the family dog takes the commitment of the family and a consistent program and routine. We are here to provide the skills and encouragement and sometimes nagging to help our families succeed.
As instructors, we continue to gain knowledge of canine behavior and learning theory and to enhance and improve our classes and private consultations on a continual basis. We also modify the program to suit the needs of the individual families and dogs. Children are welcome to participate in our class. We have clear rules and boundaries for their participation. It provides all of our student dogs the opportunity to socialize around well behaved kids. Our kids learn kindness and compassion and responsibility along with teaching their dogs tricks and manners.
We love what we do and wish success for each of our clients and their chosen pets. Contact us today for your FREE initial consultation!

British Ateliers/Fine Arts
My Friend and I have been searching for a serious course in Fine Arts (Painting), yet can find none really that suitable - the courses covered by the large universities are too diverse -encouraging only in abstract (which is wearing a little thin) - and none to fine practice.
Our hope is to go to a school or atelier which will prepare for entrance into the Royal Academy.
We are based near London and looking for any good schools or ateliers which will teach Fine Arts well, prefably around the area -so if all else fails, we'll be taking it up in Kingston University.
Thanks in advance.

This might be a good one: Lavender Hill Studios in London. Found it in the ARC approved ateliers list (second from bottom up).
Woke up this morning, found out my signature was gone..

I'm just wondering how its like - it seemed a bit like a public walk-in, walk-out studio where you can just go in, pay, draw and walk out.
I hope to take a full on course, although I must say, some of the stuff I say from some of the students there were pretty awesome with a real sense of the technical training I am after.

Hmm Neobot they don't seem to have a full course there indeed.. I've never been there, I wish something like this would exist here (at least it's something). I'm considering to move to some place with good education but so far I'm just trying to learn on my own..
Just found another one in London, but it seems they don't have full courses either.. I'll post it anyway: The London Atelier of Representational Art.

Mate I know exactly what you mean. The courses in the UK seem to specialise these days in favoring conceptual or abstract work which quite frankly makes my blood boil. Its like they design the courses to be attractive to talentless pseudo intellectuals who couldnt draw a stick man never mind paint in oils yet they look every inch a stereotypical artist. I've driven myself mad trying to find a REAL fine art course in the northwest of the UK.

Now I don't know if this will help or not but I had a very good friend here stateside take a semester at Burren College of Art in Ireland. She was a gifted fine art painter to begin with and she raved about her experience there. She said it changed her life as a painter and ranted about how good the program was there.
Now I'm not sure if this would happen to you but it could be worthwhile for you to check out.
Good luck.

I'm at LHS and it has great instruction, but not a full course. They are looking at getting acredited, but like all ateliers you only get what you put into it. So you'll get plenty of painting methods, but not a piece of paper that says you know something when you finish.

Knowing who the true heroes areNovember 6, 2012 by Teresa Varley
As Steelers Jonathan Dwyer, James Harrison, Doug Legursky and Brett Keisel entered one of the hangers at the Air National Guard's 171st Air Refueling Wing in Pittsburgh, you could see the excitement on the faces of those who serve this country, seeing players they cheer for on Sunday afternoons right in front of them.
But for the players, on this day they weren't the heroes, the ones people look up to. Not even close. It was the men and women in uniform who were the heroes.
"You get to see what they do to protect and serve us and give us the freedoms we have," said Harrison. "It's obvious they are the true heroes. We go out here and play a game and we consider it battle. They go out there and put their lives on the line and they don't come home. I'm going to come home after a game."
The visit, done in conjunction with USAA, was a part of the Steelers "Salute to Service" in honor of Veteran's Day. The players were there to say thank you to those who serve the country and learn a little bit more about what they do on a daily basis.
Part of the tour of the base included learning the different aspects of their job, from refueling planes in battle to helping close to home as some members were recently deployed to the New York/New Jersey area to help in Hurricane Sandy recovery efforts.
"It's a great opportunity and we are so happy they came here," said Colonel Tony Carrelli, Wing Commander at the guard base. "One of the great things about a guard unit is we are a community Air Force, we are the Pittsburgh Air Force. We are strong to our ties to the community. There is such great support. Any time we can host someone on the base it's a great opportunity because they are so supportive of us.
"As you walk around the base you see Pennsylvania. The patches have been adapted to show that. We go all over the world supporting missions and people look at us and say you are Pittsburgh."
The most obvious symbol of Pittsburgh is the Steelers logo and Terrible Towel painted on the nose of one of the KC-135 Stratotanker jets that are used for refueling missions.
"To see the picture on the jet explains it all and how much pride they have in Pittsburgh," said Dwyer, who has family that served in the military. "It's a great feeling and it motivates you more to go out and do our jobs each and every day because they fight for us to be able to do what we do every day, wake up and not worry about anything."
The players got a tour of the jet, with Harrison sitting in the pilot's seat trying to convince them to let him turn on the jets, to Legursky, Dwyer and Keisel, with his son Jacob, touring the entire plane, including climbing down into a small area and seeing how the fuel is transferred from one plane to another.
"It was awesome," said Keisel, who has family currently serving and many military veterans in his family as well. "All of these people here are our heroes. They protect us, protect all of our rights. To have the opportunity to and bring my son and show him about these guys and what they do is awesome."
The team was presented with a photo of the plane, and in return the unit was given a helmet signed by Dan Rooney, Sr., Art Rooney II, Mike Tomlin and the four players on hand.
The most exciting part for the players, though, was when they had the opportunity to sign where the logo is painted on the nose of the plane and the realization that every time that plane takes flight for a mission, their names will be on there.
"That plane going overseas and on so many missions, with that art on the nose of the plane and to have my signature on it and it continue to serve our country, it's a pretty big honor," said Legursky, whose father Wayne served in the 82nd Airborne. "Coming from a military family it's close to my heart. To come out here and hang out with people who serve is the least I can do for everything they do for our country."

Re: droid X
I would suggest the Droid X all day. Larger screen (no it's not too large, there's a reason 4.3 inches is becoming the standard on all top end phones), more free apps (75% compared to 23%), voice to text, free navigation, widgets, etc. The iphone to me just feels extremely limiting when coming from a quality droid like the X.

She lives in a world of beauty.
His life is shrouded in darkness.
When they meet, she must choose between everything she has and the one thing she has always desired.
Lulu Sterling thinks she has it all figured out: with one more year left at NYU, she's spending her summer interning at her mother's iconic art gallery, determined to overcome the long shadow of her father's suicide and prove herself to her mother. With her boyfriend, rising artist Brandt Penn, Lulu also hopes she will finally experience the love and desire that have always eluded her. But passion comes where she least expects it in the form of a brilliant, reclusive street artist known only by the tag GoST, and Lulu must decide how much she is willing to risk – and how far she is willing to go — to claim it.

A man who was pulled over by the Highway Patrol on I-26 today ran off in handcuffs.
A trooper stopped a car on I-26 near the College Park Road rest area because the driver and passenger were not wearing seat belts, Senior Trooper Bridget Wyant said.
The passenger started acting suspicious and the trooper cuffed him to run a check to see if there was warrant out for him. The man took off running with his hands cuffed behind his back.
Berkeley County and Charleston County Sheriff's deputies helped search the area, including dogs and a helicopter.
The search was called off after the man was not found, Wyant said.
She didn't have details on the status of a possible warrant.

They called him Captain Santa.
For 25 years, he sailed fresh-cut trees from the northern tip of Lake Michigan to the southwest corner of the Clark Street bridge.
For Chicagoans, his arrival meant one thing: Christmas was just around the corner.
Capt. Herman Schuenemann had used a variety of ships in the late 1800s and early 1900s — the Mary Collins, the Margaret Dal, the Ida, the Truman Moss, the George L. Wren. But it was the Rouse Simmons, a rickety, old three-mast schooner, that the public seemed to embrace.
Word would trickle along the docks, its festive message proclaiming to the streets above: "The 'Christmas Tree Ship' is here!" Thousands of stacked trees, snow still on the branches, filled the decks of the Rouse Simmons, the smell of spruce and pine wafting over the bow.
Schuenemann would tie a Christmas tree atop the main mast, trumpeting the ship's arrival on the Chicago River. He would string colored lights, a novelty at the time, to the 127-foot schooner he co-owned in 1910. His wife, Barbara, and their daughters — Elsie, Hazel and Pearl — would make wreaths and garlands. He even crammed a small cabin aboard, where people could dine and chat with the crew.
It became a social event, according to Tribune accounts.
Schuenemann knew how to sell trees. Forget the middleman — local stores — he sold his trees to the people. The Tribune reported how he would routinely hang a hand-printed sign on the dock: "The Christmas Tree Ship. My prices are the lowest."
Six- to 7-foot trees sold for 25 cents to $1. A few hotels and businesses preordered 20-foot trees and paid more. But some trees were never sold. Schuenemann would give those to poor families, churches and orphanages.
"He was an excellent marketer" and a bit of a showman, said Colleen Henry, a volunteer on the archives committee at St. Pauls United Church of Christ on North Orchard Street in Lincoln Park. The Schuenemanns were members of the church, known in those days as German United Evangelical Lutheran St. Pauls Congregation. Back then, it was on LaSalle and Ohio streets.
St. Pauls will celebrate the 100th anniversary of the "Christmas Tree Ship" on Nov. 18. In attendance will be retired Dr. William Ehling, of Streator — Schuenemann's grandson.
A jovial man, Capt. Schuenemann had a "generosity of spirit," Henry said.
That entrepreneurial and Christian spirit would ferry him to Manistique and Thompson, Mich., where he and his men would venture into the woods and help the locals cut down the trees. After loading up, they would sail home. In all, it took about six weeks. If everything worked out, he would celebrate the holiday with his family in Lincoln Park, a tidy profit in hand.
There were dozens of other tree ships, but Chicagoans trusted Schuenemann. He and his older brother, August, sailed what is believed to be the first boatload of Christmas trees to Chicago in December 1887, according to Tribune files.
But it was risky business. Winter gales and ice were a constant threat.
On Nov. 9, 1898, a storm sank August Schuenemann's ship, the S. Thal, near Glencoe. He and his four-man crew drowned, the Tribune reported.
Herman, who would have been aboard, had stayed behind to care for the family lumber business and tend to his wife, who had given birth Oct. 6 to twins Hazel and Pearl. The girls were baptized at St. Pauls less than three weeks after August died.
Schuenemann carried on the family business. Year after year, he made the Christmas tree voyage. But in November 1912, disaster struck again.
After making the 300-mile trip Michigan's Upper Peninsula, Schuenemann loaded thousands of trees aboard the 44-year-old schooner.
On Nov. 21, weather conditions were deteriorating when the Rouse Simmons started to bob home. As temperatures dropped, sheets of rain and 50-mph winds kicked up waves, some as high as 20 feet, over the deck. Icy spray coated the trees, the weight pushing the ship's hull lower into the water.

I found the article "Seeing with sound" by Daniel Kish (11 April, p 31) inspiring. Thank you for including it in New Scientist.
I was, however, struck by the sentence "What is it like to 'see' the world using sonar?" beneath the headline. It reminded me of a similar construction that appeared in the Australian Journal of Zoology years ago: "The rabbits were observed using binoculars." The dangling participle strikes again.

Floor Leveller
Hi Guys
Anyone thought about using a product like this on top of the vermiculite concrete layer?
Dunlop 5kg Floor Leveller I/N 6829515 | Bunnings Warehouse
Its a self levelling cement based compound that will fill any uneven gaps. I could then go over with a very thin layer of fireclay slurry to set the floor bricks...
Re: Floor Leveller
That stuffs a sloppy mix which finds its own level. Leveling the hearth bricks you want a moist mix of sand clay which you comb with a notched trowel ( a plastic bunnings special will do). When you lay the bricks into position its just lay into position and a coupla gentle taps on brick to level. Drop each brick into position rather than sliding to the next brick which results in the sand clay mix seperating the bricks.
Regards dave
PS if the dry insulation layer sucks the water from your sand clay mix and makes it hard to work a smear of table margarine over the insulation will help. I know you'll laugh... But it's simple available and works!
Re: Floor Leveller
Yep. Thanks.
Used the levelling stuff before was just thinking put that first to level out the divots which I didn't realise were there, let it set, then the slurry fire clay mix... Reckon it would be ok?
Re: Floor Leveller
No I don't think it will be OK. The clay and sands the fire proof leveler that you need. The self levelers for house tiles not brick that will taken to temp extremes.
Regards dave
Re: Floor Leveller
1 Attachment(s)
Fluid mixes like that are Portland based, and will degrade quickly. Leaving your form on after you pour the insulating mix will provide a surface to screed your leveling mix (fireclay/finesand) over the uneven insulation surface.
Attachment 41380
Re: Floor Leveller
yea figured that...haven't used it. was just curious as to others thoughts :)

Plumbing the mysteries of the Eastern Mediterranean [video]
Posted By Harvey Stein On May 17, 2010 @ 12:00 am In | No Comments
ISRAEL21c joined a nighttime expedition with a state-of-the-art research ship that plumbs the depths of the Eastern Mediterranean to learn more about the sea and man's effect on maritime life.
The Mediterranean Explorer is a state-of-the-art research ship owned and operated by Israeli non-profit EcoOcean.
Active since 2004, EcoOcean, which is now collaborating with the legendary Cousteau family on marine education and research, also works with many other Israeli and international organizations and universities to explore the mysteries of the ocean about 120 days a year.
One evening, in a choppy sea, ISRAEL21c joined Prof. Gitay Yahel and 10 of his students from the School of Marine Sciences and Marine Environment at the Ruppin Academic Center aboard the Mediterranean Explorer, obtaining samples and analyzing water and plankton from various depths of the sea.
Teams on the 60-foot vessel study anything from plankton, to the effects of large desalination plants on sea life and the environment. In its research travels, the ship's crew has visited and collaborated with like-minded specialists in Jordan, Eritrea and the area near the Black Sea.

Horsey latitudes or Subtropical High are subtropic latitudes between 30 and 35 degrees both north and south. This region, under a ridge of high pressure called the subtropical ridge, is an area which receives little precipitation and has variable winds mixed with calm.
A common misconception is that the name derives from the apocryphal 17th century practice of throwing a ship's horses overboard during a prolonged calm in order to conserve water. This is unlikely; fresh horse meat would have been highly desirable compared to ship's rations (usually salted meat) and eating any livestock onboard instead of rations would actually help conserve water, as fresh water was needed to make the salt pork or beef (ironically referred to as "salt horse") edible.
The term probably came from the "dead horse" ritual, a practice in which the seaman would parade a straw-stuffed effigy of a horse around the deck before throwing it overboard. Seamen were often paid partly in advance before a long voyage (see Beating a dead horse), and the "dead horse" was this period of time (usually a month or two). The ceremony was to celebrate having worked off the "dead horse" debt. As European west bound shipping would reach the subtropics at about the time the "dead horse" was worked off, the region became associated with the ceremony.
The consistently warm, dry conditions of the horse latitudes also contribute to the existence of temperate deserts, such as the Sahara Desert in Africa, the southwestern United States and northern Mexico, and parts of the Middle East in the Northern Hemisphere, and the Atacama Desert, the Kalahari Desert, and the Australian Desert in the Southern Hemisphere.

With violence continuing to unfold in Iraq, Oliver North warned on Thursday that the U.S. should evacuate every American in Iraq as soon as possible.
The retired Marine, former National Security aide and current political commentator talked about the dangers Americans could face in Iraq in the coming weeks while en route to Northwest Florida as part of a tour to promote his latest novel, "Counterfeit Lies."
"We have over 9,000 Americans still in Iraq and we need to get them out now," North said. "Waiting to do that provides too many opportunities for mischief."
While North said he believes insurgents do not have the power to take control of Baghdad, he warned they could still try to kidnap Americans.
On Saturday, North will make appearances at Eglin and Tyndall Air Force Bases to sign copies of his book.
North played a role in the Iran–Contra affair, a political scandal in the late 1980s. In recent years, he has made dozens of trips to the Middle East embedded with American troops while working as a correspondent for Fox News.
He said he is always excited to visit military bases where he said he is often greeted by lines of service members with photos of themselves posing with him during his trips overseas.
"We'll be standing there in our flak jackets and helmets in some very dusty, dirty place, smiling," he said. "I love to keep company with heroes. I'm damn near 71 and I've done that my entire life."
He noted this is the first time since the American Revolution that everyone in uniform is a volunteer — none of the 2.4 million service members who have served in Iraq or Afghanistan were drafted or conscripted.
"I look forward to meeting those who volunteer, who are putting themselves in harms way for the rest of us," North said. "They are the bravest and best and the brightest of this generation."
On Saturday, North will appear at Tyndall Air Force Base at noon and the Eglin Air Force Base exchange at 3:30 p.m. He will also appear at Books-A-Million in Pensacola on Sunday at 3 p.m.

The two Baptist pastors didn't know a soul at Gov. Martin O'Malley's big breakfast for supporters of his same-sex marriage bill back in January.
Neither had ever been in a room with so many openly gay people.
"It was a different moment," said the Rev. Donte Hickman Sr., pastor of Southern Baptist Church in East Baltimore. He had attended the breakfast in Annapolis with a colleague, the Rev. Delman Coates, who leads a megachurch in Prince George's County.

There is no meal I like to plan more than breakfast. On an average day, I start thinking about our morning dish right after I settle into my sheets. Therefore, Christmas breakfast is like a full-out orgasm of thought for me. As you already know, I don't turn down an opportunity to make pancakes. However, on Christmas morning, I so don't want to stand at a griddle flipping the things all morning. I'd rather be testing out Scarlett's new toys with her. I'm already looking forward to having a full-on dance party once she gets the disco port that lights up to the beat of her music. So I rely on little goodies like this skillet pancake to provide the same breakfast coma without all the effort.
Using pantry staples whizzed up in a blender, you really can't go wrong with this recipe. You can also freestyle this dish and top it with your favorite fruit. Scarlett is a big fan of Gala apples so it's how we like to finish our caker. I think I'll even cook up some of the blueberry maple breakfast sausage I get from Whole Foods. Obviously, we'll have some great tunes playing while I cook everything up.

Christmas Morning Skillet Apple Pancake
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large gala apple, peeled, cored and sliced into 1/4-inch pieces
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup spelt flour
4 eggs
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
confectioner's sugar (optional)
Preheat your oven to 450 and position your rack in the middle of the oven.
Place 1 tablespoon butter in skillet over medium heat and melt. Add the apple wedges to skillet and cook, flipping once, until they begin to soften, about 3 to 5 minutes. Remove apple wedges from skillet and place on a plate.
Meanwhile, melt the other tablespoon of butter. Place butter, milk, flour, eggs sugar, vanilla and salt in blender and mix until you create a smooth batter. Pour the mix into the skillet on the oven. Allow the batter to set for about a minute and then arrange your apple slices in a circular pattern on top of the batter.
Transfer skillet from stove top to the oven and bake for about 15 or until pancake is puffed and golden brown. Remove skillet from oven.
Dust with confectioner's sugar and serve. Be careful of the hot skillet at the table.

Amphibian decline in Yellowstone National Park.
Patla, Debra A.; Peterson, Charles R.; Corn, Paul Stephen. 2009. Amphibian decline in Yellowstone National Park. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, USA. 106(9): E22.
We conduct long-term amphibian monitoring in Yellowstone National Park (YNP) (1) and read McMenamin et al.'s article (2) with interest. This study documents decline in the extent of seasonal wetlands in the Lamar Valley of YNP during extended drought, but the conclusion, widely reported in the media, of "severe declines in 4 once-common amphibian species," is unsupported. This study wrongly defines sites occupied by one nonbreeding individual as "populations."

CHICAGO -- His arms stuffed with campaign signs and brochures, Ambrosio Medrano spent a recent evening knocking on neighborhood doors and telling voters why he deserves a seat on the city council in this month's election.
He'd take care of cracked sidewalks, he said, and improve trash pickup. "Besides," Medrano told one voter while standing on the front stoop, "I was an alderman here before, and I did a very good job representing the people."

In saying that, I'm glad that I can take solace in the fact that this community understands these feelings and I not only thank Ryan, but this community as well. Cheers guys.

Albright's State Deportment
Flirtatious and ferocious at the same time, Secretary of State Madeleine Albright stamps the world stage over Kosovo, threatening fire from heaven if Serbian strongman Slobodan Milosevic does not agree to peace terms. Just as over Bosnia, she may even believe what she says. Unfortunately, the Serb leader is much better informed. He knows that whatever the public differences, Belgrade and Washington are united in wanting to avoid NATO airstrikes (even if they come to pass). Albright's grandstanding is a necessary part of the charade in which the United States acts scary and the Serbs act scared.
With her ability to be stridently parochial, and insular as well, in six different languages, Madeleine Albright has been the perfect Secretary of State for this Administration. Never one to let substance interfere with a good soundbite, she has reinvented herself whenever it has been advantageous to her ambitions.
But does she really merit a biography on the scale of Seasons of Her Life? As Ann Blackman frames the problem, "What makes her, among all the other brilliant men and women in America, stand out?" Almost inadvertently, emerging from Blackman's hard work is a portrait of Albright that shows she would be outstanding mainly by dint of her mediocrity in any such gathering (thus well meriting the nickname Madeleine Halfbright, which State Department staff members gave her after her appointment as US ambassador to the UN).
However, she would also stand out for her burning ambition--and for her intensive cultivation of social and political connections of the kind available to someone of substantial wealth. (Madame Secretary benefited from a generous divorce settlement after what she has described as a "Cinderella marriage" to a millionaire.) Blackman actually writes that "Albright's greatest appeal is that she is just like us, only wealthier"! This has perhaps unwitting overtones of Hemingway's putdown of F. Scott Fitzgerald's remark about the rich--"They are different from you and me": "Yes, they have more money." But it really sums up the secret of Albright's success more aptly than any neofeminist reading of progress from the log cabin of Kinder, Küche, Kirche to political glory.
In becoming the first woman to head the State Department, Albright achieved cult status in some superficially minded quarters. People Blackman terms the golden girls--Democrats like Barbara Mikulski, Barbara Kennelly and Anne Wexler--spoke out prominently in her favor, for example. But many of us who followed the careers of Golda Meir, Margaret Thatcher and Indira Gandhi need convincing that the absence of cojones in itself guarantees wisdom, virtue or empathetic statesmanship. Even so, those redoubtable women, political warts and all, were elected despite their sex. Blackman's account makes it clear that Albright was appointed to public office by a symbol-sensitive White House because she was a woman. "Frankly, [President Clinton] wanted another woman in the cabinet," Blackman quotes a wisely anonymous but assumedly knowledgeable source as saying. In fact, cojones did help Albright directly, since her use of the word at the United Nations over Castro's downing of a flight of Cuban exiles helped lock her in the media eye as a staunch anticommunist--and an electoral asset for the President in Florida.
Blackman's bibliography cites Albright's PhD dissertation, her MA submission for Columbia, one from Wellesley and a mere quartet of memorable public speeches, significant for their carefully crafted soundbites rather than their insights. Certainly no male so thinly qualified would have even been on the short list to head State--nor would a better-qualified woman lacking Albright's social connections. Among her predecessors, Warren Christopher may not have played to the gallery, but he had a long record of public service and had been Deputy Secretary of State prior to his Cabinet appointment. Cyrus Vance had been Deputy Secretary of State as well (and LBJ's emissary to North Vietnam) before he was elevated.
Blackman's journalistic integrity rescues this book from the hagiographic gushing that it occasionally approaches. However, that creates a constant dissonance between biographical intent and delivery of the content. For example, she asserts that Albright has made sure that "women's rights are a central priority of US foreign policy" but then goes on to report that there has been no great leap forward in the number of female ambassadors on her watch. She quotes a close friend of Albright as saying, "Gender didn't hit her in any real way until she got to the United Nations. Feminism wasn't an important cause for her until recently."
Even at that, it appears mainly to be a stepping stone. For example, Blackman reports that while Albright was nominally in charge of the US delegation to the International Women's Conference in Beijing, she disdained actual attendance, except insofar as she could share Hillary Clinton's plane for the one-day fly-in visit. Significantly, the book is as silent as Albright was herself about the sexually adventurous Clinton's sacking of Surgeon General Joycelyn Elders (another, more neglected female first) for her statement at the UN that masturbation did not carry a risk of AIDS. In a more political vein, Albright's first move on arrival at the UN was to push out April Glaspie, the former chargé d'affaires in Iraq who carried the can for the Bush Administration in its confused signals to Baghdad before the start of the Gulf War. Glaspie had been serving her penance at the US Mission to the UN. In short, sisterhood may have been a force in getting Albright appointed, but it is not a concept she has put into practice much herself.

Product description
Set in Oxford in the 1660s - a time and place of great intellectual, religious, scientific and political ferment - this remarkable novel centres around a young woman, Sarah Blundy, who stands accused of the murder of Robert Grove, a fellow of New College. Four witnesses describe the events surrounding his death: Marco da Cola, a Venetian Catholic intent on claiming credit for the invention of blood transfusion; Jack Prescott, the son of a supposed traitor to the Royalist cause, determined to vindicate his father; John Wallis, chief cryptographer to both Cromwell and Charles II, a mathematician, theologian and master spy; and Anthony Wood, the famous Oxford antiquary. Each one tells their version of what happened but only one reveals the extraordinary truth. Brilliantly written, utterly convincing, gripping from the first page to the last, An Instance of the Fingerpost is a magnificent tour de force.

Review quote
"Anyone who reads this will want to tell their friends about it... This is a novel that combines the simple pleasures of Agatha Christie with the intellectual subtlety of Umberto Eco, don't let it pass by unread" Sunday Times "A fictional tour de force which combines erudition with mystery" -- P D James "The kind of book that has you reading it by torchlight under the bedclothes. An historical detective story set to rival The Name of the Rose, it provides the rare pleasure of combining an intricate plot with insight into the political intrigues of Restoration England" The Times "Pears brings to life a vibrant 17th-century world...a tour de force" Daily Telegraph "Brilliantly researched and imagined...a remarkable achievement" Sunday Telegraph
Editorial reviews
This multilayered literary thriller is nothing short of superb. Four key characters relate the circumstances surrounding the mysterious death of a fellow of New College in 17th-century Oxford: the first, a dilettante Venetian gentleman, finds himself under suspicion in the close-knit academic community. What seems in his account to be a straightforward murder case turns out to be a national religious and political conspiracy. An entertaining and learned novel; comparisons with The Name of the Rose are justified. (Kirkus UK)

Sunny & The Sunliners -
No One Else Will Do
Sunny Ozuna is the Elvis, Beatles and Sinatra of the Mexican-American music world. No singer in Tejano history has made as much of an impact or had such a long and fruitful career. He began with a group called the Sunglows, then decided to leave Sunglow records and join up with Huey Meaux's Tear Drop label, where he reformed his backing band and called them the Sunliners. After an early tweak in members, the band stayed the same line up for over 10 years. As did most Tejano groups of the time, they predominately recorded polkas and boleros, but as the doo-wop and r&b sounds became more popular, they would find ways to incorporate these sounds into their sets to please their audiences. Sunny (seen here, on the right) has made several outstanding Chicano Soul sides, but after my years of searching them out, this one still remains my personal favorite.
Little Girl
Henry & His Kasuals is another in the long list of San Antonio bands with little-to-no information about them. Their only recorded material was released on the Cobra label throughout 1965 and 1966. The record credits the producer as Abe Epstein, who owned and played a significant role in many other Tejano labels, including the successful Jox label. Henry Pena was the leader of the Kasuals, who consisted of Gordy Saldivar, Frank Lujan, and Richard Hernandez. Henry was a local DJ at KUKA, which also employed another successful Tejano artist, Jesse Vallado (aka Little Jr. Jesse) at the time.
Los Stardusters -
All Night Worker
Little is known about Los Stardusters. There were releases by a Houston group called The Stardusters on the Pic-1 label (also run by Huey Meaux), but it has not been confirmed that they are the same group. Here they cover the Rufus Thomas classic "All Night Worker" and work it out quite nicely. There is an LP with the same name, and thus far, I haven't been able to track one down. One day.
Take Me For A Little While
The Royal Jesters are one of the more successful groups to have come from the San Antonio Tejano scene. They changed members quite often, but always maintained a quality group sound. When Dimas Garza joined the group in 1962, he brought to Tejano a profound increase in the soul and harmony that was becoming widely popular in black musics. The Jesters continued to produce great Chicano Soul, while implementing the hip sounds of the times. They even have more disco influenced records that aren't too shabby. This song is a bit of an oddity, combining the beefy production of soul music with a more pop-psych edge to the writing and arrangement. It gets a little "out there" at times, but is always followed by the minimalist bass and drums that really draw me to the track.
Side Note: There is very little written trail of information about the history of Tejano soul and rock. It is quite hard to find out who the players were and what happened when. To date, the most informative resource (and pretty much, only resource!) i have found is a book that was put out about a year ago, called "Chicano Soul" by Ruben Molina. It is quite informative and has many great pictures and label scans. I recommend checking it out.
