Summer lends itself to reading and vacations, so why not combine the two into a literary trip?
The homes and studies where many great writers toiled over their prose have been preserved. See original manuscripts, often in the author's own handwriting. Walk about the communities where they strode, often so preoccupied with their plots and characters that they didn't even speak to the neighbors they met. Travelers can do that and more on a trip to the places where ideas became literature.
Printers Row Journal presents six trips for literature lovers of all genres.
This piece first ran in Printers Row Journal, delivered to Printers Row members with the Sunday Chicago Tribune and by digital edition via email. Click here to learn about joining Printers Row.
Several 19th century American literary giants made their homes in Massachusetts, including Louisa May Alcott, Emily Dickinson, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Herman Melville and Henry David Thoreau.
Concord, Mass., was home to Alcott, Emerson and Thoreau, and is a 45-minute car ride from Boston, making it an easy day trip from the city. The first stop for many literary travelers is Walden Pond; much of its land was saved from development, and visitors can walk the same woods that inspired Thoreau's "Walden." The Thoreau Institute at Walden Woods contains not only manuscripts and other documents related to the writer, but many other special collections, including that of the Ralph Waldo Emerson Society. A replica of Thoreau's home is also on the property.
From Walden Woods, take the Emerson-Thoreau Amble trail to Emerson's home and see where Emerson wrote most of his important works. Guided tours take visitors through the house, which is much as it was when he lived there. While the furniture in the study is a replica, the original furnishings are in the Concord Museum across the street.
Emerson hosted many meetings on Transcendentalism, and Alcott often joined the discussions. Known for "Little Women," Alcott's home is where she wrote and set her story of the March family, based on her own kin. The house itself dates back to 1690.
For those with more time, a trip to Dickinson's home in Amherst and Melville's farmstead in Pittsfield is worth it. Docents lead guided tours of both Dickinson's residence and her brother's family's home, with the focus on her life, family, and other influences on her writing. Most of the houses are open to tours, including her bedroom, and the "Emily Room" at her brother's home.
West of Amherst and located in the Berkshires is Arrowhead, the 45-acre farmstead where Melville wrote "Moby-Dick" and spent his most productive years. Several parts of the house are open to visit, including Melville's study, piazza and the barn where he and Nathaniel Hawthorne would discuss their work.
Suggested reading: "Walden" by Thoreau, "Nature" by Emerson, "Little Women" by Alcott, "The Poems of Emily Dickinson" edited by R. W. Franklin and "Moby-Dick," by Melville.
Oxford and Jackson, Miss.
No writer captures a town like William Faulkner. The author lived and died in Oxford, Miss., and his fictitious Yoknapatawpha County is a stand-in for Oxford and the surrounding area. Faulkner lived at Rowan Oak for more than 40 years and did most of his writing here. The home is now owned and maintained by the University of Mississippi, which allows self-guided tours of the property. A favorite room of visitors in Rowan Oak is his study, where on the walls he wrote out the draft of "A Fable." He's buried in St. Peter's Cemetery where visitors still leave him bottles of whiskey. But Oxford is more than just Faulkner. The J.D. Williams Library at Ole Miss has a treasure trove of archival material of not only Faulkner, but other famous Mississippi writers as well as an extensive blues music archive. Stop in one of three locations of Square Books and you might see other Oxford-based writers, such as Richard Ford and John Grisham.

2oth Annual
Madison County Hop Fest
September 18-20, 2015!
Don't forget to like Hop Fest on
The Madison County Hop Fest surpasses all of the other fests out there because it is the only one of its kind that can proudly declare that it celebrates over 200 years of hop heritage that began right here in Madison County! It was right here in Madison County that James Coolidge from New England planted the 1st commercial hop yard on acres of farmland in Bouckville. It was also right here in Madison County where James Coolidge was the first to transport hops to the New York City market in 1816. Thus, establishing a commercial agricultural connection between the hop fields of CNY and the agricultural commodity marketplace. (Cultural Resource Survey of Hop Heritage Sites in Madison County. Nell Ziegler, 2007. Survey funded by Preserve New York, a grant program of the Preservation League of New York State and the New York State Council on the Arts.) Many Madison County farmers followed in Coolidge's footsteps turning over their fields into commercial hop yards as did the farmers from neighboring counties- Montgomery, Schoharie, Chenango, Otsego, Herkimer and Oneida. The Madison County Hop Fest is a signature event for Madison County and New York State for that matter, as there are no other fests that can make the historic claim that New York State's Hop Heritage began in their county.
The Madison County Historical Society's Annual Madison County Hop Fest will be held on the third weekend in September. (September 18-20). In our 20th year, the fest will continue to offer: programs about hop culture in NYS; home brewing demonstrations; exhibits on the history of hops; exhibitor booths from hop suppliers, hop farmers and beer clubs; Taste of Hops: food and beer pairing; paired beer dinner at Ye Olde Landmark Tavern in Bouckville; sampling of regional craft beer; crowning of Hop King or Queen and a Hop Tour. The Hop Tour on Sunday will take visitors to historic hop houses, related hop heritage sites, craft breweries, and a restaurant within Madison County.
Stay tuned for further event details!

The 'social building:' using social media to save energy
By: SGN Staff
By Conway Irwin
Smart Meters are amassing reams of data that, when effectively analyzed and applied, can help energy consumers at all levels - residential, commercial and industrial - cut down on both their consumption and their bills. And social media, backed by strong analytics, may prove to be an effective tool for delivering efficiency improvements.
Using the Data
Managers of large buildings, campuses or other facilities can significantly reduce operating costs by cutting down on their energy consumption. While Smart Meters are now providing data that can allow consumers to pinpoint prime targets for energy efficiency measures, making sense of all that data is not as simple as collecting it, which could pose an obstacle to consumers' ability to use it effectively.
"A massive amount of data has become really accessible, for the first time, to us," said Paul Bardon, Honeywell Building Solutions Vice-President of Global Marketing, at the Honeywell Users Group (HUG) conference in Phoenix, Arizona this week. "How do you use this data to actually either make a building more efficient or make the operators more effective so they can make the building more efficient?"
"Managing that information and that data is the next big frontier for this industry," Bardon said.
The Social Building
HBS plans to bring social networking products to market in the next 12-18 months to help manage that information flow and deliver it in a way that enhances both the speed and efficiency of identifying and responding to opportunities for on-site energy efficiency improvements.
HBS' solutions seek to transform a "smart" building into a "social" one - one that provides real-time, accessible information on operational performance. The idea of Facebook-style status updates from a building or an energy-intensive piece of equipment might raise some eyebrows. But it also may represent a practical means of helping facilities to manage their energy consumption.

White and Gold Abria Flat-Woven Wool Rug 2 2
lovely rug It's a beautiful rug but the background color is not as white as I expected...it looks beige in my house. August 12, 2013
Different color from image This rug looks whiter in the images than it really is. It's really more of a jute / burlap color, which isn't what I was expecting. I now need to return it to get another rug that matches my stuff. April 10, 2014

The Fix
We failed to blow the fuse using all the switches available. One by one we tried them all since that would be the easiest way to find the problem. No luck.
Figuring (hoping) it was probably some obvious fault, we then removed the front plastics to take a look.
We disconnected and reconnected everything just for fun as we inspected all the wires, looking for anything unusual. A couple of minutes into it, we found some tape-wrapped wires that weren't original. Unwrapping the wires, we found
Why the hand brake switch would cause the problem is beyond me, but somebody replaced the connectors and wrapped them tightly together either causing or trying to fix the obvious short circuit evidenced by the melted plastic. Separate wrapping is better.
So we buttoned it up since we couldn't find anything else, fixing and improving the little things along the way. The cylindrical fuse was replaced with a modern bladed fuse holder and placed for easy access. The positive battery connector was not original and too flexy for my liking so we replaced that too, testing the bike at every step along the way.
The test rides were fine. We bled the front brakes and adjusted the rear. Now I'll lead him on some longer runs to see if he can learn some of the main routes and eventually go out by himself.

The following post comes to us from Fabien Carruzzo, partner and head of the derivatives practice at Kramer Levin Naftalis & Frankel LLP, and is based on a Kramer Levin publication.
September 22, 2014 (the "Implementation Date") will mark a new chapter in the credit derivatives market with the implementation of the new 2014 ISDA Credit Derivatives Definitions (the "New Definitions"). The New Definitions constitute a major reform of the terms governing credit derivatives products and address numerous issues identified this past decade with regard to credit and succession events and in the context of the Eurozone crisis. Most new credit derivatives trades entered into after the Implementation Date will follow the New Definitions, which are expected to ultimately fully replace the 2003 ISDA Credit Derivatives Definitions (the "Old Definitions") in the market. Market participants will also have the opportunity to adopt the New Definitions for their portfolio of existing trades.
This post provides an overview of the most significant amendments made to the Old Definitions and describes how the market will migrate to the New Definitions.

Got a minute?
Got a minute?
Most career paths are less super-highway than long and winding road. As a result, most of us have a few twists and turns on our resume, which can make it look like we're less committed to our present career goals than we actually are. The trick? To make those unrelated gigs work as well for us in the present as they did in the past.
Tough times come to us all, especially in these days of extended unemployment and dwindling job security. The good news is that how you deal with a crisis can sometimes make the difference between a disaster and a learning experience.
Over 2 million people voluntarily quit their jobs each month, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, even though the unemployment rate is at 6.7 percent. Why would anyone leave their job when new gigs aren't exactly growing on trees?
The Bureau of Labor Statistics doesn't attempt to guess at how many careers we'll have in our lifetimes, and for a good reason: the definition of what constitutes a career change is hard to determine. Most of the time, roles evolve, becoming gradually very different over the course of many years. But what about when you're planning on making a real jump to something totally different?
Job counselors tell us that the best way to build a successful career is to keep learning and adding skills to our resumes. But education isn't cheap -- for the most part. Fortunately, there are plenty of totally free sources online that will help you develop the skills you need to get hired, be promoted, and keep those raises rolling in.
Blame TV shows featuring underage hackers or our post-Facebook culture for equating innovation with college kids who will drop out when they make their first million. Whatever the reason, it's a fact that many companies fill their IT jobs with folks who seem barely old enough to drive. But what if you're a slightly more experienced candidate?
There are a lot of reasons to apply for a job for which you're overqualified. Maybe you're making a career change. Maybe you've been stuck in internshipland, and you're trying to make the jump to full-time employment. Or maybe you just plain need a job, because life costs money, and the rent isn't going to pay itself. Whatever the reason, there are a few things you can do to make yourself a more attractive candidate.
Real people get paid to play and test video games during development. Next time you think you are wasting your time playing video games, consider putting your hobby to work.
Getting laid off isn't fun, but at least you have the comfort of hearing "it's not you, it's me," and collecting uncontested unemployment for a while. But what about when you lose your job under different circumstance? When you get fired, your first thought will be to panic. Don't do that -- or any of these things:
"Layoff" is arguably the scariest word in the English language for most workers, and never more so than during the past few years, when cuts abounded and new jobs were hard to find. But getting laid off can also be one of the best things that ever happened to you. It all depends on how you react in the days and weeks following your pink slip.
Thanks! We'll send you a welcome newsletter as soon as we can.

scrounging mateirals - wire mesh substitute
Any reason why I shouldn't use an old piece of non rusted chain link fencing in place of wire mesh in my foundation and hearth pour?
Just have a some lying around....
Re: scrounging mateirals - wire mesh substitute
When we demo'd the slab in our backyard to make our foundation, we found that chainlink fence was used as rebar.. If the difficulty it took to remove it was any indication, it works. We re incorporated it into our foundation, along with some rebar we found for the perimeter trenches. As far as the hearth slab goes, it's gotta be rebar. Whoops.. just re read your post and realised you werent planning on using it as rebar after all.. Wire mesh.. That'll work.
Re: scrounging mateirals - wire mesh substitute
Hey Christo,
Do you still have five more projects before you start your oven?:) It's sounding pretty close.
Re: scrounging mateirals - wire mesh substitute
1 Attachment(s)
Yup!!! James you are correct!!!
I've been scrounging materials and cutting trees down over the last year to get ready for this momentus occasion. Doesn't look like we will have any more deep frosts - so it's time to get started.
I got started cutting triangles and they are spread all over the driveway. It could only mean two things.... The oven is now offically one of my projects - and I'm going for Dmun's Geodesic Dome.
My bricks are larger than Dmuns - so I'm going for a 38" GeoPom oven. With all the detail from Dave - it made it very easy to scale up.
I'm trying to learn from some of his minor difficulties and will make forms for the pentagons and hexagons to see if I can make them really exact when I bond them together.
Re: scrounging mateirals - wire mesh substitute
Hey, that's great.
Just one note: If I were doing it again, i'd only pre-assemble the pentagon for the top, and lay the rest up as triangles. I had to re-cut a bunch of my polygons, and they didn't fit together as well as I hoped.
Re: scrounging mateirals - wire mesh substitute
Very exciting. I'm looking forward to this.
When you do think you might be ready to start firing your oven (have I missed something)? I am very interest in hearing how it behaves, cooks, holds heat, etc.
Re: scrounging mateirals - wire mesh substitute
March is supposed to go out like a lamb:
It's not the end of march yet, but last weekend we got three inches of granular snow that froze solid. Not quite masonry weather yet, but I'm still hoping it's soon.
Re: scrounging mateirals - wire mesh substitute
A minor detail? :rolleyes:
Looks great in the snow though.
Re: scrounging mateirals - wire mesh substitute
Dmun, James,
The saying goes that March "comes in like a lion and out like a lamb." Well, bull. In Ontario during the last week or two, we've had high winds, low temperatures, blowing snow over the ice that already had formed during one warm day. Generally dismal. The saying should read: "in like a demented lion, out like a snarling tiger." Geesh.

Top 14 round-up
Last Updated: 25/01/13 10:17pm
Late drop for Perpigan: David Mélé
Perpignan stayed in the race for the Top 14 play-offs thanks to a hard-fought 26-19 win over Clermont on Friday.
The result is only Clermont's fourth loss in all competitions this season and allows Toulon to move seven points clear at the summit of the standings.
But the league leaders didn't have it all their own way on Friday either as they failed to pick up the expected bonus point against lowly Mont-de-Marsan.
In the capital, Stade Français also kept their play-off hopes alive with a big win over Grenoble.
Elsewhere, Montpellier climbed to fourth thanks to their win in Agen while Racing Métro picked up valuable points away from home against Bordeaux-Bègles.
USA Perpignan 26-19 ASM Clermont Auvergne
Stade Aimé Giral, Perpignan
A great result for USAP, who produced one of their best performances if the season to keep their play-off ambitions alive.
Clermont led 12-6 at the end of an intense first half thanks to the boot of Morgan Parra, as they dominated possession but couldn't unlock the Catalan defence.
The second half was a different story however and the hosts took the lead in a barnstorming ten minutes after the break highlighted by a try for lock Romain Taofifenua as the USAP pack rumbled over the line.
Clermont regained the lead around the hour mark when Julien Bardy scored at the back of a rolling maul but the visitors' discipline let them done in the final quarter, allowing James Hook, who finished with 18 points, to kick Perpignan to victory.
SU Agen 9-13 Montpellier Hérault Rugby
Stade Armandie, Agen
Montpellier were made to work very hard, but got the job done and leapfrogged Grenoble and Castres in the standings as a result.
Despite being reduced to 14 men after the sending off of full-back Ben Seymour for taking François Trinh-Duc out in the air in the 20th minute, Agen put up a real fight and only trailed 7-6 at half time.
Montpellier should have put the game to bed in the second half but struggled at scrum time and were regularly penalised while on the attack.
Union Bordeaux-Bègles 15-22 Racing Métro 92
Stade André Moga, Bègles
Racing-Métro keep their hopes of the knock-out rugby alive with an invaluable win on the road despite the absence of suspended leaders Dimitri Szarzewski and Fabrice Estebanez.
Bordeaux-Bègles led 9-6 at half time but conceded 13 unanswered points during the sin binning of captain Mathew Clarkin, with Racing centre Alexandre Dumoulin landing the killer blow just before the hour mark.
A losing bonus point for UBB leaves them level with Agen on the edge of the relegation zone.
Stade Français Paris 36-6 FC Grenoble
Stade Charléty, Paris
A timely bonus-point win for Stade Français, who remain unbeaten at Stade Charléty this term.
Grenoble led 6-0 early on but it was one-way traffic their after as the Parisians scored two tries in each half.
The result sees stade move to within striking distance of the play-off berths, five points behind Grenoble.
Rugby Club Toulonnais 15-9 Stade Montois
Stade Felix Mayol, Toulon
After defeat to Racing in the Top 14 and Montpellier in the Heineken Cup, Toulon needed a good result to steady the ship, but this will not be considered a huge success.
A narrow win against the bottom side in the league - who also coughed up two yellow cards - is not what was expected as RCT flattered to deceive.
Toulon led 15-9 at half time but were unable to trouble the scorers after the break.

There are some skills in GW2 that require a target to work properly however, that needs to be noted. For example, mesmer spells that create clones or illusions require a target for those illusions to attack, and when that target dies they shatter. What's interesting though is that this doesn't take away from the actiony feel, instead it adds specific levels of tactics to your casting as a mesmer.

If you are on the ball it is possible to dodge any projectile. Though as you can only roll twice before the bar needs a recharge, you will likely get hit by the ones that are too fast to get out of the way of in time.

I've Tera from CBT 1 -5, the combat is aim and point but different from games like dragon's nest in the sense some of the animations/skills are rooted for a reason (the reason being, there are consequences for spamming skills which causes the player to think about what skills he should use before using it).
It will also depend on your class, some classes such as the Ranger at first will have rooted animations for some specific skils but later on as the player hits higher levels and is able to unlock glyphs, they can use skills while running. Additonally with almost all classes there are some lock on skills but these are usually DOTs, Curses, debuffs, buffs and heals. Early on the ranger will have a step back which will give him more distance
With the healer he can heal while running but will have to aim his heals to target lock players, addtionally he has AOE heals that require him to place a targeting radius on the ground for players to step into. The healers attacks are mostly frontal, some short range but slow, he has evasion skills which propel him backwards away from danger and freezing/stunning enemies in place.
but in General almost all skills require aiming, positioning and strategic planning of cool downs and not skill spamming as that leaves the player vulnerable. Of course that is from my experience of the game so far.
hope that helps

That's why you learn to watch the caster animations. You can tell from the animations, or at least you'll be able to learn, what's about to be cast, so you can preact accordingly.

Whether something hits your or not depends on if the projectile or attacl would have hit your character (with some allowances made for online play of course, but any game that doesn't factor in this kind of thing fails as a game).
So yeah, TERA has the crosshair aiming and root to attack, which sucks, and GW2 has target nearest or in front of you if you don't already have a target when you use a skill. Very few skills require being rooted. Both games have a hotbar, but TERA has their first (basic attack) skill set to the L-mouse button. GW2, sets their first (basic attack that is different with each weapon) skill to 1 and they have the option to have the game autocast a selected skill on recharge. Oh, BTW...GW2 has no target ally skills....just thought I would add that.
TERA was appearently made to be playable with a console controller, but I really didn't like that control setup when I tried it. Basically TERA is going for action rpg combat in a traditional MMO and GW2 heavily incorporated action RPG elements into MMORPG combat, making something of a hybrid that I find works quite nicely.
BTW in GW2 you can dodge in any direction with double tapping your WASD keys or whatever you have your movement set to.
I used to TL;DR, but then I took a bullet point to the footnote.

You can see the benefits of weapons swapping, dodging, watching the enemy, etc. This video REALLY demonstrates GW2 combat quite nicely.

The projectiles move fast, but there are usually 'tells" in the mob's animation, which an astute player can pick up on so they can trigger their dodge in time. I understand that most, if not all, of the heavier hitting skills are telegraphed in some way.
This is one of the reasons why players will be expected to be paying attention in combat, rather than just spamming off cooldown. Saving skills for when they'll be most useful is what will set apart poor players from successful ones, as will recognizing when to trigger them. The enemies themselves will tell us when that is, *if* we're on the ball.

This is not a game.

I have played both games and have bought both games as I like them both, but their combat is quite different. I will not add to the already thorough list of GW2 combat, except to say it is half old school MMO tab targetting and half action based combat.
There does seem to be a myth that TERA's combat is not movement orientated, which is just not true. Most combo and skill attacks have a movement element built into them, moving you in a direction during the combo attack. The problem seem to stem from the collision detection, and people stand directly in front of the mob and do not get any movement giving a very fixed and immobile feel to the combat.
If I can link you to a video of how warriors are meant to be played here. You can see if you just watch a few minutes of just how much some classes do move around, it just takes a while to get used to the fact you need to aim in a direction not necessarily at the mob. All classes have movement like this even the more fixed classes like lancer and Beserker. As said before, alot of skills can be movement unlocked with Glyphs giving even greater movement versatility, and alot of mana regenerating skills can be used whilst moving.
Also people seem to say there are not many skills like GW2, I would like to point out you only get 5 skills with different weapons and off hand items in GW2 at one time. There are alot of combinations available which is nice, but you only get 5 per combination, plus 5 utility skills like heals. I see alot of people also knock TERA because it has limited skills which is also not true. You get skills every few levels and probably only have half your skills at level 24, plus alot of more movement oriented skills are unlocked at higher level, this gives the impressions of a lack of skills at low level.
Also skills in GW2 can be used cross class like arrows and fire wall, so you can combine skills or weapons. TERA is very fixed in this and each class has very fixed skills, but they can be adjusted with Glyphs which helps tp a degree.
Looking forward to both, and i will probably play TERA until GW2 comes out. Just wanted to clear up a couple of things about TERA, people seem to be giving it a hard time. In truth it is a very well finished, fantastic looking MMO.

Someone post video proof that projectiles won't curve and hit someone who's targetted. I don't mean if they use dodge. I mean if they are just running or strafing and someone fires at them, it should miss if the distance between them is great enough.
Further, does the game have area effect spells/abilities that 'explode' when they hit something? If so, you should be able to hit the ground in front of someone to keep from whiffing against a moving target. If such a situation cannot occur, then it's still the same old auto target stuff.

We all breathe and we all die.
Evil is correct I played both however in GW 2 if you do move and stay active you can dodge attacks if the don't touch you. I think there is some auto aim but it can be avoided due to it being hot key action and not mouse it'd be hard to aim with hot key I mean least a bit more difficult than mouse so it makes sense that in GW 2 attacks have a tad but if follow. Though seriousely if you zig zag you won't get hit, that show you avoid getting hit if you run out of energy and block.

I can state for a fact that you can avoid projectiles by changing direction if you time it correctly however.

Former Arkansas Lottery Commission employee Remmele Mazyck pled guilty to crimes related to the theft of lottery tickets worth more than $478,000.
The charges allege that between November 2009 and October 2012, while employed as Deputy Director of Security, Mazyck used his position of authority to steal lottery tickets and cash them undetected. Mazyck cashed 22,710 tickets for a total $478,073.
Lottery Director Bishop Woosley said he first learned that the illegal activity occurred on October 26, 2012. He placed Mazyck on administrative leave that day and terminated Mazyck's employment on November 14, 2012.
The commission's insurance will cover the costs of the theft and losses and lottery officials were quick to state that "no Arkansas student will be denied the opportunity to have their college education paid for through use of Arkansas Scholarship Lottery funding."
Lottery officials said they are evaluating and will continue to evaluate and strengthen security processes and procedures "as necessary to ensure that this does not occur in the future."

Fannie Lou Hamer
, sharecropper, fieldworker for the Student Non-violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), and founding member of the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party (MFDP), was born on a plantation in the Mississippi hill country in 1918, the last child in a family of 20 children. She went on to become one of the most outspoken activists of the civil rights era, first gaining national notice in 1968 when, with the MFDP, she succeeded in unseating the all-white delegation from Mississippi to the Democratic National Convention. That year, Hamer turned her efforts to the Freedom Farm Cooperation (FCC), an organization that leased land to African American farmers and provided social services, scholarships and assistance to minority-owned businesses. Hamer continued to work for the welfare of African Americans until her death in 1977 from cancer.
The following excerpts are from an interview conducted in April 14, 1972 by Professsor Neil McMillen for the Mississippi Oral History Program of the University of Southern Mississippi. This interview is part of USM's
Civil Rights Documentation Project
Mrs. Hamer, why don't we begin with something about your childhood life? Where were you born and what was your life like when you were a little girl?
Well, I was born 54 years ago on a plantation in the hills, the kind of place that's something similar to Hattiesburg, the place where you are from. In fact I was the last child of 20 children, six girls and 14 boys. I'm the twentieth child of a very poor family, sharecroppers [who] never had anything . . . [We] didn't hardly have food to eat.
My family moved to Sunflower County when I was two years old. . . so I was mostly raised here in the Delta. In fact, from two years old up until now, I've been in the Delta. My family moved here, and we moved on a plantation; the landowner was named Mr. E. W . Brandon. So we lived on his place until I was grown, but it was just hard. Life was very hard; we never hardly had enough to eat; we didn't have clothes to wear. We had to work real hard, because I started working when I was about six years old. I didn't have a chance to go to school too much, because school would only last about four months at the time when I was a kid going to school. Most of the time we didn't have clothes to wear to that [school]; and then if any work would come up that we would have to do, the parents would take us out of the school to cut stalks and burn stalks or work in dead lands or things like that. It was just really tough as a kid when I was a child.
So how did you spend your life then from when you were finished with your six years of school?
Well, that was just in and out of school--in and out of school, until I was grown. I'd just have some months I'd be in school and some I wouldn't.
Then you worked, of course?
Did you work in the fields?
Yes, I worked in the fields. In fact, all the kids around in this Delta worked in the fields. Wasn't no other work to do. They didn't have no such thing as factories; these factories are something new. . . This time of year, well, when there was no cotton to chop, we would be raking corn stalks or doing something like this. But there was never, never a time in April that kids would be in school when I was a kid. . .
Let's move forward in time, Mrs. Hamer. When was the first time you really wanted to vote?
That was 1962.
Tell us about your efforts to vote.
Well, I didn't know anything about voting; I didn't know anything about registering to vote. One night I went to the church. They had a mass meeting. And I went to the church, and they talked about how it was our right, that we could register and vote. They were talking about we could vote out people that we didn't want in office, we thought that wasn't right, that we could vote them out. That sounded interesting enough to me that I wanted to try it. I had never heard, until 1962, that black people could register and vote.
Never heard that in your life?
I'd never heard that. We hadn't heard anything about registering to vote because when you see this flat land in here, when the people would get out of the fields if they had a radio, they'd be too tired to play it. So we didn't know what was going on in the rest of the state, even, much less in other places.
When you were a child at school, did the books you have say anything about voting or democracy?
Never! I'd never even heard that that was in the Constitution. I never heard anything about it. In fact, the first time I was aware that Mississippi had a constitution was when I tried to register to vote, and they gave me a section of the Constitution of Mississippi to write, to copy, and then to give a reasonable interpretation of it. I didn't know that we had that right.

One of the cooler medical devices invented in the last 30 years has to be the MRI machine. Introduced in 1977, it represented a huge leap forward in body imaging, allowing doctors to create greatly detailed maps -- in two or three dimensions -- of an injured knee, a shattered wrist, even a patient's brain. And while MRI scans are nearly free of side-effects, they're not completely free of dangers -- mostly because the main component of an MRI scanner is an insanely powerful magnet.

Alright tributes, the long wait for the arrival of the "Hunger Games" Blu-ray and DVD is almost over. We have less than a week to get our hands on one of the biggest blockbusters of the year, and as we found out via a early screening of the Blu-ray/DVD, there are several versions from which to choose, depending on which special features you want most with your home viewing experience.
MTV News has a special treat for you in the form of an exclusive clip from the Blu-ray in which the principal castmembers, Josh Hutcherson, Jennifer Lawrence, Liam Hemsworth and Elizabeth Banks signed autographs for the children who served as extras for the emotional reaping scene in District 12.
"This is Liam, he's very handsome," Banks says to an enthusiastic extra about her co-star seated next to her, as she signs an autograph.
"This is Elizabeth. She's also very handsome," Hemsworth adds with a smile on his face.
The cast and crew endured extreme temperatures while filming the reaping, and in the clip, we see that the stars and the extras were set up in a tent to keep them in the shade. Everyone seemed in good spirits and the castmembers had no problem joking around with one another.
"It was the least we could do," Lawrence said of the experience, during which we see her explain to a young extra that she is Katniss, after which Hutcherson introduces himself as Peeta. "It was so hot, and so many of them had driven for so many hours to be there. It was the least we could do to sign autographs and kind of thank everybody."
"The Hunger Games" is available August 18 at 12:01 a.m. on a two-disc DVD (plus digital copy), a two-disc Blu-ray (plus digital copy), VOD and a digital download with three hours of previously unavailable bonus materials that include the eight-part documentary, "The World is Watching: Making of The Hunger Games," a sit-down conversation with director Gary Ross. Numerous featurettes examine the global success of the books, the creation of the control room in the film and the filmmakers' motivation behind creating new scenes that were not in the book, plus much more.

The benefit: Shape up your swimmers.
Cigarette smoke, air pollution, and other toxins in the air can damage your sperm, altering the DNA inside your cells and possibly increasing your child's risk of birth defects. Your best bet for fighting these pollutants? Call in the Brazilians. Brazil nuts are a top source of selenium, a vitamin that helps keep sperm cells healthy while also helping the little buggers swim faster. When researchers in the United Kingdom had men with fertility problems increase their selenium intake, the men produced hardier, more viable sperm cells.
"Brazil nuts are also a good source of vitamin E, an antioxidant that helps protect sperm cells against free-radical damage," says Keith Ayoob, R.D., a spokesman for the American Dietetic Association.

Columbus, Ohio - Two road games, two improbable losses.
Can you say Hail Mary déjà vu?
Yes you can.
The result? A Wisconsin team that two weeks ago was in position to remain in the conversation for a berth in the Bowl Championship Series title game now might not even make the Big Ten's first football title game.
Now that is quite a freefall.
This loss to a resurgent Ohio State team Saturday night was cemented when freshman quarterback Braxton Miller escaped pressure and heaved a 40-yard touchdown pass to freshman wide receiver Devin Smith with 20 seconds left to give the Buckeyes a 33-29 victory.
That play came just 58 seconds after UW scored on a 17-yard touchdown pass from Russell Wilson to Jared Abbrederis and added a two-point conversion pass for a 29-26 lead with 1 minute 18 seconds left.
UW fell to 2-2 in the league and 6-2 overall. Ohio State improved to 2-2 and 5-3.
"They are going to be tested in the most unbelievable fashion after these last two weeks," said UW coach Bret Bielema, whose team suffered a 37-31 loss on a 44-yard touchdown pass on the final play of the game one week earlier at Michigan State. "The opportunity that we have in front of us is there's four more games on our schedule that we're guaranteed."
Beyond that nothing.
UW appeared to have done enough to escape with a critical victory but as it had in the final minute one week earlier at Michigan State, UW's defense wasn't able to make a critical stop.
Ohio State, which had a bye week to prepare for UW, now has life in the race for the Leaders Division title.
"Ultimately it comes down to us taking care of our own business," Ohio State coach Luke Fickell said before the game. "Whether you need help, there's always a light at the end of the tunnel.
"We have a lot of things to play for.
"Whatever it is, it still comes down to us handling our own business and taking care of what we need to take care of."
Trailing, 29-26, Ohio State's Jordan Hall ripped off a 40-yard kickoff return to set the Buckeyes up at their 48.
Three plays put the ball at the UW 40, where Miller danced to the sideline, saw Smith uncovered in the end zone and heaved the ball to the sky.
UW cornerback Marcus Cromartie closed on Smith but was too late and the freshman made the catch.
The play was reviewed, but the officials ruled Miller did release the ball before he crossed the line of scrimmage.
"I wasn't on the backside of the play," UW free safety Aaron Henry said. "I was on the front side. I was just reading the QB. . . . We work on it every day.
"When the quarterback breaks contain you have to find the closest guy in your area. . . . I don't know what was going on on the other side.
"I just saw the guy streaking wide open and he caught it."
UW struck first Saturday, on its second offensive possession, with a 69-yard touchdown drive that featured Wilson's arm.
Wilson (20 of 32 for 253 yards, three touchdowns) completed his first three passes on the drive - for 8 yards to fullback Bradie Ewing, 19 to wide receiver Nick Toon and 14 to Ewing - to move the ball to the Ohio State 25.
Two plays later, on third and 7, Wilson dumped the ball of to tailback Montee Ball in the middle of the field. Ball reached back to make the catch, snatching the ball away from safety Christian Bryant.
Ball turned up the field, stepped away from linebacker Keith Sweat at the 10 and sprinted to the end zone to help UW take a 7-0 lead with 6:58 left in the first quarter.
It was one of the few big plays for Ball, who was held to 85 rushing yards on 17 carries.
With the Ohio State defense stoning UW, the Buckeyes' moribund offense finally put together a scoring drive in the second quarter.
The Buckeyes marched from their 47 to a first down at the UW 28. The key play was a 14-yard run by Miller on third and 10 from the UW 42.
But after three plays netted 6 yards, the Buckeyes settled for a 39-yard field goal from Drew Basil with 2:55 left in the half.
UW had a chance to pad its lead in the final minute of the first half after the defense recorded a three and out, but the offense was stoned once more.
After a 39-yard punt, the Badgers took over at their 47 with 32 seconds left and no timeouts.
Wilson hit Abbrederis for 9 yards on first down but then missed Ball circling out of the backfield on second down. Sophomore Adam Bellamy tracked Wilson down from behind and sacked him for a 7-yard loss on third down.
UW let the clock run out and took the tenuous 7-3 lead into the locker room.
The first-half numbers for the UW offense were not pretty: 10 rushing yards on 12 carries, 0.8 yards per carry, three sacks allowed and 127 total yards.
"They have great athletes, big guys on the front line," Ewing said before the game.
The second quarter killed UW in the loss at Michigan State and the third quarter was UW's undoing Saturday night as the Buckeyes scored two touchdowns in span of 1:14.
That allowed the Buckeyes to take a 17-7 lead and energize the crowd of 105, 511.
Tailback Dan Herron (33 carries, 160 yards) got the crowd stirred by ripping off a 57-yard run to the UW 18 on the Buckeyes' first offensive play of the half. He gained 18 yards to the 1 two plays later and the Buckeyes finally scored on fourth and goal thanks to the footwork of Miller.
The freshman ran a bootleg to the right, which Kelly recognized immediately. Kelly was in position to bring Miller down at the 7, but Miller cut inside Kelly and strolled into the end zone with 12 minutes left in the quarter.
"He might not be as fast as Taylor Martinez but he has better cutting ability," UW linebacker Chris Borland said before the game, referring to Nebraska's quarterback. "He is really talented."
The lead grew a few minutes later.
UW faced a fourth and 3 from its 26 and the punting unit came on. Just as Michigan State had one week earlier, the Buckeyes came off UW's right side and blocked Brad Nortman's punt.
UW's Robert Burge, lined up on the right side of the three-man shield in front of Nortman, again allowed the defender to blow past him.

High school students get credit for jobs
CORPUS CHRISTI - As the father of a 4-month-old baby, 17-year -old Scott Huerta looks forward to the weekend as an opportunity to work extra hours and provide for his family.
To some, he may be working just to earn a dollar, but the skills and lessons he is learning are priceless, according to Miller High School Principal Delia McLerran.
He is among many students in Corpus Christi who have part-time jobs in addition to taking advanced placement courses and participating in sports. Though he isn't getting school credit for his part-time job, many students in the Corpus Christi Independent School District are.
According to district spokeswoman Lorette Winters, about 300 students are involved in the Family and Consumer Science Career Preparation program.
In the career preparation program, students receive three high school credits for their classroom work and time spent at a work site. Students must secure employment by the second week of school and are required to work a minimum of 15 hours per week to receive credit for the class.
Huerta, a Miller High School senior, works at a local Stripes convenience store as a cashier and stocker.
"Having a job while going to school is not for everyone," Huerta said. "You have to learn to prioritize because school comes first."
Huerta, who also is on the track and football teams, said juggling a busy schedule as a teenager will help when he is in college. He plans to attend the University of Houston and study architecture.
Since turning 16, he also has worked at Bill Miller Bar-B-Q and La Mexicana Restaurant. Huerta's story resonates with his classmates.
John Lawson, 18, is a football player at Miller and waiter at La Bahia Restaurant.
Lawson said the money he earns, about $250 a week, is going quickly because being a high school senior is expensive.
"I want to buy a class ring, go to prom and have money to buy things I want," Lawson said. "There are times when it is hard to go to work because I want to hang out with my friends, but the paycheck is worth it."
As a waiter, Lawson said he has had the opportunity to sharpen his people skills.
"I hear all kinds of stories from people," Lawson said. "It's a great way to meet new people and learn from others."
At work, Lawson is known for being dependable and friendly. Whenever he meets people who graduated from Miller, it is not uncommon for him to start a conversation about their experiences.
"The conversation usually starts with, 'When I was at Miller in 1972, I also played football,'" Lawson said. "Then people start asking me about how I think we will do this season."
Sara Sanchez, who sometimes supervises Lawson at La Bahia, said he also gives management plenty of notice when his schedule changes.
"He told us from the beginning that he was a high school student and that he played football so his schedule would be different each week," Sanchez said. "That allowed us to prepare and be flexible when scheduling his hours. During the summer, he asked to work longer hours."
Lawson didn't get school credit for working during the summer, but the income from the additional hours was worth it.
Shelby Smith, 16, is a junior at Miller who participates in volleyball, basketball, track and softball. She works at Whataburger by the Bay.
For Smith, working has taught her time management and the value of a dollar.
While she used to rely on her mother to buy her clothes and things on her wish list, she now is paying for most of those things herself.
"I've bought a DVD player, an iPod, clothes, shoes and everything I needed for school," Smith said. "It was hard to take the money out of my own pocket to pay for these things."
Smith said she sometimes loses sleep to plan her schedule and make sure she isn't late to work or practice.
"I have to sacrifice sleep to do the things I do, but it's worth it," she said.
McLerran, said she is proud of her students.
"I don't know how they do it," McLerran said. "They are excellent students and already have learned so many skills such as saving money. It will get them far in life."

It will be an extra special night for a trio of Starkville Academy Lady Volunteers.
As Anna Lea Little, Maggie Proffitt and Tiffany Huddleston step onto the court tonight, it will be the last time for all three players to compete on the Starkville Academy hardwood.
Matthew Christiansen already knows what to expect tonight.
When Starkville Academy's basketball teams hold senior night, it won't be an entirely knew for Christiansen because he experienced it just a few days ago with the soccer squad.
There were two surprises for the Mississippi State softball team during its season-opener Thursday night.
