Covenant alumnus and religious history professor Oliver Trimiew not only teaches history, but he lives it. While his eyes take in a certain scene, his mind's eye is questioning how the scene came to be. Acting as a detective of text, Oliver was recently challenged to expose truth in the Chalmers and Douglass dispute.
Oliver Lee Trimiew (Sr.) and his wife Oner Mae had both been raised in the South during the time of much racial concern. Oner Mae lived in North Carolina and Oliver Sr. lived in Virginia. The two never met until they both decided to move up north to Newark, N.J., where their middle child, Oliver was born along with his two sisters.
Growing up, young Oliver was encouraged to succeed academically. "My parents emphasized my education. They were only high school graduates and they both wanted something better for me in terms of my education. That was always in my world," he says.
Oliver played baseball and basketball, having a fairly normal childhood. He didn't really notice the racial issues that were going on during the 50s. Oliver was surrounded by children of various races in his public school. It wasn't until traveling South to visit family that he was awakened to his father's challenges.
Oliver Sr. had served in the military and was trained in electronics. Unable to put his training to use (as good-paying jobs for an African American were scarce) he followed his second skill in auto repair.
"I remember when I finally came to the conclusion that something was going on. On the way to see family, my father had stopped at some place along the road to get some food and they told him that he had to go around to the back. He was furious when he came back to the car," Oliver relates.
"My father could let it fly every now and then. I still remember picking out pieces of what this was all about. We didn't live that way in Newark – you could go anyplace you wanted to - so I didn't understand it, but I knew something was going on," He recognizes.
Learning in school was only part of Oliver's educational experiences. His parents took them to the Newark Museum on Saturdays and they experienced culture through exhibits and featured programs and learning the history.
"At some degree I enjoyed history. I did alright in school until I discovered girls and then I started having problems," Oliver jokes. "Why study, when I can chase girls around?"
When he went to vocational school, Oliver decided to take electronics like his father had done. He had watched his father fix things and he decided to switch his orientation from liberal arts to mathematics and science.
Oliver had visited church periodically, but it was in high school when he came to a faith experience seeking what he really wanted to become. He looked for a school where he could combine his radio skills and his faith and he found Moody Bible Institute. Oliver applied and was accepted, but he soon learned there were certain rules for his race. He would not be allowed to attend day school, but instead have to go to night school.
"I was not going to go into a place where I lived and who I had contact with, and deal with this kind of stuff – this was supposed to be a Christian school," Oliver asserts.
"So, I ran into some racial issues there and then this white guy, named Mr. Black, showed up in Newark from Covenant College on Lookout Mountain and wanted to recruit me for basketball and come to Covenant," he says.
In 1967, Oliver visited the campus and attended the next year. He had to switch his mind structure back to liberal arts. After graduating, he decided to go to seminary in Massachusetts at Gordon Conwell where he would meet his wife Anna.
"I went into seminary and worked various jobs. Actually, I had worked in the 12th Baptist Church in Roxbury. It is a historical church founded in the 1830s and, while Martin Luther King was doing his studies at Boston Theological Seminary, he had a little interim pastorate at the church," Oliver states.
In 1975, Oliver married his Jamaican wife and they moved to Chicago where he would obtain his master's degree. When the couple began to have financial problems, Anna looked for work, but had difficulty getting hired as a resident and not a U.S. citizen. She had also found she was pregnant with their first child so it was up to Oliver to work full time and put off his studies. After having another son and a daughter, Anna did start to work and taught school on west side Chicago.
Oliver had received a call from Covenant when their Bible teacher had left suddenly. The family moved to Chattanooga in 1988 and he began teaching at Covenant. He is currently marking his 25th year.
It wasn't until last year that Anna decided to become a U.S. citizen. There did not seem to be a need before and she didn't want to give up her Jamaican citizenship.
"Anna had worked for a long time and things started changing politically with discussion of immigrants coming in and maybe limiting their Social Security – it is fortunate that she became a citizen when she did," Oliver insists.
On a recent trip to Scotland, Oliver and Anna discovered the law had changed regarding necessary documents.
"On our trip to Scotland this July, Anna's sister had gone with us. I am part of an academic society and they were meeting there and I was going to give a paper. My sister in-law flew all the way there and got to Amsterdam but they would not let her into Scotland. She had gone several times before, but the law had changed in 2009. Jamaica was no longer part of the commonwealth and she would have to have obtained a visa six months earlier," Oliver explains.
They tried everything they could, but authorities would not let Anna's sister go. It was a sad part of the trip for Oliver and Anna, but they were relieved that Anna had already become a U.S. citizen and was able to enter Scotland.
Not only was Oliver delivering a paper, but Anna's mother was from Scotland and Anna had never been to her grave. The trip held special meaning and it was a blessing that it worked out for them to both go.
Oliver was looking forward to the trip for another reason as well and he gives a background that explains why.
"At Covenant College we have a place called the Chalmers Center, named after Dr. Thomas Chalmers. He was one of the most famous preachers and church builders in Scotland in the 19th century. He also had a vision for helping the poor and he organized churches," Oliver says.
Like Oliver, Chalmers was an interdisciplinary person trained in mathematics, but he also had learned theology. In teaching African American studies, Oliver had stumbled across a problem between two men named Frederick Douglass and Thomas Chalmers.
"That is what I did my paper on. Frederick Douglas was a former slave and one of the most famous orators of the 19th century. Other people could talk about slavery, but Douglass had lived it," Oliver proclaims.
Frederick Douglass shared his story to England, Ireland and to Scotland but ran into a problem as he was building a new church. He had sent a request for money through a delegation to his Presbyterian friends in America.
"Those who sent him money were from South Carolina and other Southern places which affirmed and practiced slavery. Douglas heard about that and he said, 'You can't accept money from those places.' So he goes to Scotland and starts a 'stop and send the money back' campaign," Oliver says.
"Here we are about to celebrate the 150 years of the Civil War, and the major conflict between people is 'if you were a good slave master, that it was perfectly fine' while others said, 'absolutely not, you cannot hold someone in slavery and call them your brother and sister in Christ'. You had these well-meaning Christian people but they simply did not agree on this issue," Oliver professes.
With a little detective work, Oliver's excitement grew as he learned more about the issue.
"I do what I do to expose the truth… and it was essential for me to go to Scotland to the very towns and cities that Douglass had been and then to give this paper. The truth of the matter is Chalmers was wrong on this particular issue. They had decided that they were going to keep this money and Douglass went there saying 'send the money back'. He urged them to send it back but they never did," Oliver maintains.
Researching, finding truths and speaking about them is not the only part of Oliver's personality – he also likes to have fun. Oliver decided to create an uncomfortable scenario as a joke and played it through, masterfully.
"I went to St. Andrew's University that is over 600 years old to give this paper… Chalmers had been a professor there… you feel like you are not just talking about history, you are living it…" Oliver expresses.
"The first thing I did was ask if there was anybody there from 'the free church' which is what Chalmers had started. Most people are not necessarily church related there, but some were raised in the Free Church, so one guy raised his hand and said that he was from the Free Church. I said, 'Great, I am glad you are here because I am here to pick up a check," Oliver says.
Remembering the look on the young man's face, Oliver can barely finish the story for laughing. "For several millions of dollars …for the money that was given here that was never returned… I am representing Presbyterian African Americans…" Oliver peels in laughter as he recalls the scene, yet he had followed through with his story to the young man with a straight face and had him believing him, dumbfounded.
"The guy looked at me like 'uhhhhh….' But I finally let him know that I was joking. I just couldn't resist," Oliver smiles.
Aside from his whimsical gag, Oliver's passion for history is very thoughtful.
"I guess, what it is for me is the detective nature of history. I always found out why and how things have happened. I tell people all the time, 'I know I live in the modern world, but half my brain in in the ancient world.' Here was this problem with Chalmers and Douglass… and I wondered, 'did they ever meet?' You use the text to reconstruct the truth and the passion is uncovering that," Oliver says.
"My trip to Scotland was living history to me for many reasons," Oliver says, "to give my paper and because my wife had never seen her mother's grave …and to pick up the check…. it's in the mail… still waiting 160 years later…"

91 points Robert Parker: "The 1989 Meursault-Clos de la Barre offers a wonderful juxtaposition of power and elegance. The high acidity and formidable concentration level result in a hazelnut and mineral-scented wine, with gorgeous levels of extraction, admirable purity of flavor, and a long, stylish finish. It is approachable now, but should be at its best between 1993-2005." (02/92)

OSHA fines Florida contractor $228k
Burgos Construction Corp faces penalties total US$228,690 (£129,300) after being cited by the US Department of Labor's Occupational Safety & Health Administration for working without fall protection.
The four willful, one repeat and two serious safety violations concern work at four sites in Lithia, Tampa, Riverview and Land O'Lakes. The company was hired to build a new apartment complex in Tampa and work on three new residences.
"Burgos Construction has been cited seven times in the past two years for not providing fall protection for its employees engaged in residential construction," said Les Grove, OSHA's area director in Tampa. "Company officials are fully aware of the fall protection requirements. Falls are the leading cause of death in the construction industry. Allowing workers exposure to a fatal fall or serious injury demonstrates the employer's lack of commitment to worker safety."
The willful violations were cited because the employer failed to provide fall protection systems to workers at each of the four sites where they installed floor joists and conducted framing and roofing work at heights from 2.75m to 8.5m. OSHA requires a fall protection system when residential activities are 1.8m greater. The willful violations carry penalties of $215,600. A willful violation is one committed with intentional, knowing or voluntary disregard for the law's requirements, or with plain indifference to worker safety and health.
With a US$6,160 penalty, the repeat violation was cited for allowing workers to use a ladder improperly.
The employer was also cited for serious violations, with US$6,930 in penalties, for failing to provide fall protection training for workers and for allowing employees to access a second floor stairwell that was not protected by handrails on both sides.
Burgos Construction was established in 2012 and has been inspected by OSHA eight times within the past two years. The company has received multiple citations for repeat and serious violations of the construction standards. The company has 15 business days from receipt of its citations and proposed penalties to comply, request a conference with OSHA's area director, or contest the findings before the independent Occupational Safety & Health Review Commission.

im hiv positive and my vira load is undetecteble someone told me that i can i have sex with a woman without a condom but i should ejaculate outside then the chance of hiv transmission is zero is that true?
Response from Dr. Frascino
Nope! Not true! HIV can be transmitted via precum.
Having an undetectable HIV plasma viral load for a considerable period of time decreases the risk of HIV transmission, but does not eliminate it. You can read much more about this topic in the archives of the forum on HIV prevention and safer sex. Have a look!

The twelve-year-old twins, fresh from the court at Waking Sea, had been very reserved around their king at the beginning, all wide eyes and silent tongues. They could scarce believe that one who had killed an archdemon and fought darkspawn could be a person, let alone a human being.

We were hatched only an hour ago, by a trainer who had white hair and red eyes. We smiled up at her and hugged her knees for bringing us into the world, and all she did was frown.
Her eyebrows squinched together and her mouth became a straight line, was she hurt? or angry? Had we done something wrong?
We peered up at her, whispering among ourselves.
She began to walk away, and so we followed. She turned, and said she was releasing us. We didn't know what this meant. She began to walk away again, and again we followed.
She shouted at us until we cried, and we ran away. We pondered it for a while, and we understood that she didn't want us.
We shook as the houndooms cries echoed, and we became afraid.
My tiny siblings held onto each other, crying out in fear.

A smile on my heart.
The slightest touch,
Brush of hands,
Passing each other in the hall.
Imprinted on my heart.
You were so close
So close to kissing me,
But I turned away.
So you turned away from me.
You no longer look at me,
You no longer touch me,
You no longer try and kiss me.
You have another now.
I'll regret that day forever.

WARNING:Strong language and violence
I'm lead with my hands bound and a bag over my head for what feels like hours. But with the fear that keeps growing inside me, five minutes can easily feel like five hours.
Finally, the damned bag is taken off my head. Looking around my surroundings I'm standing just outside the gates of a grand, extravagant looking Kyrat palace. As I continue to stare at this huge area before me, I feel my hands be unbound. I bring them in front of me and begin rubbing at my wrists.
I can hear the soldiers speaking in their native language. I gulp silently when they both turn to me. "Our leader, Pagan Min, has a rule that any female joining him for dinner is allowed to clean herself up before." Despite his thick accent I can understand what he's saying.

How to Pee Standing UpI recently realized there is no guide for this anywhere in our group.

1. Get over your fear. No one is looking. No one WANTS to look. Peeing isn't sexy. No one cares, no one will notice. If anything, you're confirming to people who weren't entirely sure that "I am a boy who just looks sort of female."
2. Pull your pants down to just under your butt. You don't want to do this in a short shirt, I suggest (at least until you're good at aim) wearing shirts that go down to about where your fingers are when standing relaxed. Eventually, with some work, you can pee through the fly of regular jeans without pulling down too far, but I've never managed it and I've been trying for a few months now.
3. Stand with your feet about shoulder width apart, crotch forward, shoulders back. This assists in aim, and this position helps first of

But ever since Elena spent the night at her best friends house, she has been very quiet. She isnt so sweet anymore. Elena is always looking off to the side, and her eyes arent so shiny now, she never even reads to me now, so I have to go to bed without a story, she doesnt even care when I cry.

Concert promoter Ollie Smith and star designer and horoscope nut Tony Weller have taken an old derelict Victorian pub on the Fulham Palace Road and transformed it into, something . . . well, cosmic, man.

Title: Need a tree to grow in the middle of a retention pond in Pennsylvania
Answered by: Jimmy Mills
QUESTION:I have a shallow retention pond in my yard in South Eastern Pennsylvania. The pond is used for rainwater runoff and also for natural springs that are located below the surface. If I plant a tree in the center of the pond: 1) Will it survive and grow 2) Will it absorb the shallow water that is usually retained 3) Will it harden the land where the retention pond is and 4) What trees would you recommend if this is possible? Thanks
Mr. Smarty Plants is going to begin with question four: What plants to use? I'm not going to make recommendations since I don't know the size or any particulars about the site, but let me show you how to use our Native Plants Database in order to come up with some possibilities for your yard. Go to the Native Plant Database page and scroll down to the Combination Search Box. Make the following selections; select Pennsylvania under STATE, Tree under HABIT, and Perennial under DURATION. Check Sun under Light Requirement, Wet under Soil Moisture, and click the Submit Combination Search button. You will get a list of 35 species of native plants that meet these criteria and occur in Pennsylvania. Clicking on the name of each plant species will pull up its NPIN page which contains a description, growth requirements, and images. You can select a tree that has the features and is the right size for your yard. Pay particular attention to the entries for Native Habitat and Soil Description on each page.
I gather that there is always water in the pond because of the springs, so you are going to need a tree that is adapted to growing in wet conditions. The tree will use the water that it needs, but you can't expect it to drain the swamp. You might consider using additional plants to help absorb the water. Having more plants in the area will help firm up the soil.
You can make a similar list for shrubs and/or herbs by making the appropriate selections in the combination search box.
Here are three trees that may be of interest. For help closer to home, you might contact the folks at the Montgomery County office of the Penn State Cooperative Extension.
Chamaecyparis thyoides (Atlantic white cedar)
Fraxinus pennsylvanica (green ash)

The music is the music
The Romantic German wrote a choral symphony... or did he?
Garrett Harris 4 p.m., July 31
The nation gained 171,000 jobs in October, beating economists' estimates of 120,000, but the unemployment rate rose to 7.9% from September's 7.8%. The report will probably be politically neutral: Republicans can point to the rise in the unemployment rate, Democrats can tout the jobs gain. The public normally focuses on the unemployment rate, but the increase may not be enough to sway voters much. September and August jobs gains were revised upward by a combined 84,000, but average hourly wages fell a penny to $23.58. The survey was conducted before Sandy hit.

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine have identified a new approach to treating brittle bone disease, a congenital disorder that results in fragile bones that break easily.
The study, published in the current issue of the journal Nature Medicine, showed that excessive activity of an important signaling protein in the matrix of the bone called transforming growth factor beta is associated with the cause of the disease.
"There are many genetic causes of brittle bone disease in children and adults," said Dr. Brendan Lee, professor of molecular and human genetics at Baylor and a Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator. "We have discovered many of them but clinicians still cannot easily distinguish the different forms."
Lee said the new study suggested that there may be common mechanisms that cause the decreased quality and quantity of bone in these different forms.
"This identified an important concept in bone disease that while many different genetic mutations can affect the proteins in the bone matrix (like collagen) they act in a common pathway to cause the bone disease – that is they affect how signaling proteins called transforming growth factor beta (TGF) are delivered to cells in the bone," said Lee. "We now have a deeper understanding for how genetic mutations that affect collagen and collagen processing enzymes cause weak bones."
Collagen is the most common protein in the human body, and the four most common types are found in different types of tissues including bone, cartilage, blood vessels, and kidney.
In animal studies, Lee and his colleagues showed that blockade of the TGF proteins using an antibody could restore the quantity of bone in mice with different forms of brittle bone disease.
"This treatment appears even more effective than other existing approaches," said Lee.
There are currently drugs in development to block this pathway in humans, so eventually the work can be translated into human studies, he said.
Existing approaches revolve around symptom management such as prevention of bone fractures, physical therapy and bone strengthening drugs, not necessarily medications to target the underlying cause of the disease, he said.
The study is novel because it shows a personalized approach to more effective treatment patients with these forms of brittle bone disease.
"We hope this approach will also be useful in more common forms of osteoporosis," said Lee.
Lee is also co-director of the Rolanette and Berdon Lawrence Bone Disease Program of Texas, a collaboration of Baylor, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Foundation and the Center for Skeletal Medicine and Biology at Baylor, a member of the prestigious Institute of Medicine and founder and director of the Skeletal Dysplasia Clinic at Texas Children's Hospital.
Co-authors on the report include Ingo Grafe, Tao Yang, Stefanie Alexander, Erica Homan, Caressa Lietman, Ming Ming Jiang, Terry Bertin, Elda Munivez, Yuqing Chen, Brian Dawson, all of Baylor; Yoshihiro Ishikawa and Hans Peter Bächinger of Oregon Health and Science University in Portland, Mary Ann Weis and David Eyre of the University of Washington in Seattle; T Kuber Sampath of the Genzyme Research Center in Massachusetts and Catherine Ambrose of the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston.

No. 809,351. PATBNTBD JAN. 9, 1906. E. WUTZEL.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Jan. 9, 1906.
Application filed May 24, 1905. Serial No. 262,052.
To all whom it WAG/y concern:
Be it known that I, EMIL WoTzEL, a subj ect of the German Emperor, and a resident of Zwickau, Germany, have invented a new and useful Improved Fastening Device, of
which the following is a specification.
ing devices.
In the accompanying drawings, which illustrate a fastener according to the present invention, Figure l shows a longitudinal section through the two parts, which are shown connected with one another in the position they occupy during use. Figs. 2 and 3 show, respectively, in side elevation and plan, that part of the fastener which is pinned through the material of the article of clothing or the likein question. Figs. 4 and 5 show, respectively, in side elevation and plan, that part of the fastener which serves as a socket for the reception of the other part. Fig. 6 shows, by way of example, another form in which the part shown in Figs. 2 and 3 maybe manufactured.
The head or pin portion (represented in Figs. 2, 3, and 6) is formed bymeans of aplate which is turned over.
a, upon which the resilient pins or needles 6, arranged in a circle and formed with similar inward bends b, are arranged in any de sired manner. In the case of the form of construction according to Figs. 1, 2, and 3 the pins are riveted on and the connection is covered over by means of a plate the edge of In the case of the form of construction according to Fig. 6 the plate and the pins are stamped out of one piece. The base or socket portion (represented separately in Figs. 4 and 5) consists of a plate a, with which the (at e somewhat outwardly bent) hollow cylinder or socket e is rigidly connected. Moreover, the plate 0 carries at its middle the shank or stem (1,
which is provided with a roll-shaped or bulb shaped thickened head. If now the socket e be pushed over the pins 1), the shank cl enters between the latter, and thereby forces the resilient bends b outward, whereupon the latter are again forced together behind the head (1 of the shank d, and thus render the engagement secure. On account of the form' of the shank-head d and the socket e, inclosing the pins 1), an opening of the fastener or button-pin by a lateral pull or pressure is rendered impossible. On the contrary, the connection of the two parts of the fastener can by means of a suitably-strong axial pull be unfastened without a previous release of special connecting devices being necessary.
On using the fastener the pins 6 are stuck through the material in question or through the portions f g of material which are to be held together, after which the other portion or socket of the fastener, the parts of which are designated by c d e, is pressed on.
k represents the section of a buttonhole or loop placed over the neck of the portion illustrated in Figs. 4 and 5.
The fastener according as it is to be employed for connecting two pieces of material or for fastening a buttonhole or loop is made shorter or longer.
What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. A fastening device of the character described, consisting of a head portion, comprising a plate and a plurality of resilient pins arranged in a circle and secured to said plate, each of said pins having an inward kneesha ed bend, and a base portion, comprising a p ate, a socket attached to the same, and a central shank arranged in said socket and having a head, the bends of the pins being adapted to engage behind said shank-head when the head portion is in engagement with the base portion.
2. A fastening device of the character described, consisting of' a head portion, comprising a plate, a plurality of resilient pins arranged in a circle and riveted to said plate, each of said pins having an inward kneeshaped bend, and a plate secured to the former plate and covering over the riveted ends of said pins, and a base portion, comprising a plate, a socket attached to the name to this specification in the presence of same, and a central shank arranged in said two subscribing Witnesses.
socket and having a head, the bends of the pins being adapted to engage behind said EMIL WOTZEL' 5 shank-head when the head portion is in en- Witnesses:
gagement with the base portion. WOLDEMAR HAUPT,
In testimony whereof I have signed my HENRY I-IAsPER.

We've already caught a glimpse at the performance of Intel's next-gen Nehalem CPUs, so we know they should pack a mean punch. But another big question remains: when will mainstream Nehalem derivatives come out? In an attempt to answer that question, Expreview has scavenged an Intel roadmap that lays out Core 2 and Nehalem CPUs from now until the second quarter of 2009.
Assuming the roadmap is genuine, Intel will unveil 3.2GHz, 2.93GHz, and 2.66GHz Bloomfield CPUs in the fourth quarter of this year, with the latter sitting at the same level as today's $340 Core 2 Quad Q9450. Surprisingly, the three chips will remain in the same positions until Q2 2009, while Intel shuffles Core 2 offerings and replaces the Core 2 Quad Q6600 with a 45nm Core 2 Quad Q8200. The roadmap hints at a possible speed bump in Q2'09, but no cheaper Bloomfields.
In another news post, Expreview goes on to say all three Bloomfield CPUs will have DDR3 memory controllers built in, with DDR3-1333 support on the fastest model and DDR3-1066 on the rest. If this information is also correct, it could mean even a $340 Bloomfield may cost more than a comparable Core 2 Quad because of higher DDR3 memory prices. DDR3 RAM could be cheaper in Q4, but the cheapest 4GB DDR3 kit on Newegg right now costs around $200, compared to $73 for the same amount of DDR2.

and thank god that most of my preparation is almost almost done thank Luna lol.
I will once again be attending BronyCon this year, if you haven't run across my latest photo stating I made two portraits for the BronyCon Auction and put two and two together lol. I just finished doing my vender hall cheat sheet so I know where the people I want to visit and possibly purchase keep sakes are going to be when I enter. But like all cons, I'll probably mostly there to socialize and get to know people so feel free if you see me to say hello. I promise I don't bite! Well, at least much... j/k
Anywho, unlike previous cons though I decided I won't be bringing my entire plush collection along. But if by some chance you want me to bring a specific one feel free to look over them below and request. I can already tell you for sure that the following will be going:
Stargazer ~ WhittyKitty
Faithful ~ Whitedove
Princess Luna ~ Whitedove
Small Derpy ~ Serenity
Dr Whooves ~ Serenity
Soarin ~ Serenity ( Will be given to Amy Keating Rodgers, I've been wanting to give her a Soarin for a few years now )
You can see my collection here:
I'll also bring a few printed pieces of my own art to the convention to showcase if by chance anyone wants to see my arts.
If anyone is doing a panel I might be interested in feel free to mention as well. Maybe if I've not already made plans I'll join in the crowd!
Lastly though, I look forward to having another blast at BronyCon. I hope everyone that attends has a safe before and after trip, a safe time at the con and of course plenty of fun as well!
