Kites will soar as Brunswick celebrates its Cuban connection
BRUNSWICK — Nestor Gil is admittedly conflicted about 1959, Fidel Castro and the Cuban Revolution.
On the one hand, Gil, an artist doing a two-year fellowship at Bowdoin College, can appreciate Castro, who for 50 years has thumbed his nose at the United States, holding on to power despite assassination plots and coup attempts.
But Gil's rebellious romanticism changes when he considers his mother and father. Carmen and Nestor Sr. initially supported the revolution, but ultimately joined the diaspora of Cubans who left the island nation as Castro's despotic ambitions became more apparent.
"To my parents, and others who left, Castro is the devil," Gil said.
Gil's ambivalence about the revolution will be reflected on Sunday, April 11, when he and other members of the community gather on the fields at Farley Field House to fly 59 handmade kites made of paper, cloth, wire and wood.
The kites' design is something of a family heirloom, passed down from Gil's father and grandfather. On Sunday, weather and user permitting, each of them will take to sky.
The event for all ages runs from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sunday as part of Brunswick's Cuba Week. The week of activities is part of the town's sister-city exchange with Trinidad, Cuba. It begins Friday and runs through April 17.
Although the number of kites is meant to be symbolic, Gil said he isn't aiming for a particular message.
"It's about wanting to grab something, a detail, a spark plug in itself," he said. "The year 1959 is cause for great mourning for people like my parents. For some people it's the opposite. ... I'm not interested in saying 'yes, the revolution was good,' or 'no, it was wrong.' It's about this one detail, this one moment, and living in it."
That moment has particular meaning to Gil and his parents, who were courting in 1963 when they left Cuba. Nestor Sr. went to Mexico, while Carmen, a devout Catholic, was sent to a convent in Spain.
Although the two communicated while apart, Carmen considered devoting herself to a cloistered life. She changed her mind when, six years later, Nestor Sr., who had joined the U.S. Navy after migrating to Philadelphia, sent her a picture of himself posing alongside a 1957 Chevy.
"I love Carmen" was engraved on the door.
Nestor and Carmen ultimately settled in Jacksonville, Fla., where they had six children.
The couple has never returned to Cuba. Their children have never been there. Although Gil has a desire to visit the island nation, he knows doing so would anger his parents, who believe in America's strict adherence to a trade and visitation embargo that has existed for nearly 50 years.
"It's interesting, I was raised believing I belonged in a place I've never been," Gil said. "Yet where I was raised I'm sometimes considered an outsider."
"Maybe that's why I make things that aren't permanent, that go away, " he added, noting that many of the kites that will fly on Sunday probably won't take to the air a second or a third time.
Although Gil attaches a larger metaphor to the kite flying – kites fly through resistance and wind, yet must be attached to a "grounded" individual to remain aloft – he doesn't want participants to get too burdened by it.
"I just like the idea that I can do this project, and that people will come," he said. "I want this to be fun, community event, and for people who come to live in that moment. This project doesn't need for me to say something."

too big for us, but great quality
Great product but we should have measured our grill first because this was much too big for us.Read More
Big, heavy and does the job
Size wise - WOW! Needed a really big skillet to do four steaks at once and this one can handle it with easeRead More
Nice but big
This is a very large pan, I would not recommend this for your stove at home but I would for a camp fire, this pan takes up about most of our campfire grate. These are not pre-seasoned but this pan does barely fit in my oven at home but can also be seasoned over the camp fire. Good and sturdy this pan will be in our family for years to come, maybe even generations.Read More
It's bigger than you think.
This thing is HUGE! Which is good, because that is what I wanted when I bought it. I primarily use it under the broiler to make neapolitan style pizza and it's great. Pay attention to the directions for seasoning it which is very important for any cast iron cookware, if you don't want it to rust. Yes, it is exactly the size it says it is here, but just realize that might be bigger than you think it will be when you get it. It's also VERY heavy, which is to be expected with a massive cast iron skillet. So, be careful. If you drop this on your foot, you'll end up looking like a pirate when you get a peg leg.Read More
Great for big outdoor cooking
This is really huge. Can cook 3 whole chickens at same time and it is deep enough for making gravy too. Great gift!Read More

Showing a little appreciation, for all they do
May. 17, 2013 @ 09:22 PM
On May 7 and 8, West End Baptist Church served lunch to the Henderson Police Dept., the Henderson Fire Dept., Vance County Fire/Rescue, the Vance County Sheriff's Dept. and the N.C. Highway Patrol to show their appreciation for the services they provide to the Henderson community. These luncheons were sponsored by the Baptist Men of the church: (from left) Pastor Ralph McGowan, Arthur Ray Paynter, Leon Dillard, Bill Best, Bob Flowers, Jerry Parrish and V.W. Watkins Jr., among others. For more information, contact Decie Harper at (252) 438-8330.

Ive tried this place 4 times and every time the service is poor and the food subpar
Posted by Victor on 03/23/2010
love their lunch buffet; tasty food, good selection, very good price
Posted by anonymous on 12/07/2009
I used to work at the deli, and I remember that we would be open every day of the year including holidays. (I worked holidays) The food is good around lunch from the buffet section after lunch they don't cook anymore for there. the deli section is the best bet though, although i don't really like the new cashiers that work there (very childish and kinda slow) the familiar faces in the deli always bring me back. It feels good coming back to somewhere in new york where something stays the same.
Posted by Jay on 09/22/2008
Be careful at this place. If you don't watch it they will not even put the right ingredients in your sandwich. They will use less expensive cheese, not put all the meat ingredients in, etc. I only go here if last resort because I no longer trust them.
Posted by Anonymous on 06/15/2006
I just recently moved into the neighborhood and was told to try this place. I've tried their sandwiches on random drunken nights and my friends and I have to say, their the most reliable around. You can try something new and it still tastes just as good as the last. Try the Spicy Chicken Cutlet on a Hero.
Posted by Very Good on 07/10/2005
I am extremely picky when it comes to reviews, so when I say very good, I guarantee that you WILL BE PLEASED. I have ordered 6 sandwiches, delivery only, so I cannot comment on the atmosphere. The order takers need a little more training, but it is worth the extra couple minutes on the phone. Roast beef, turkey, pastrami are excellent. Get two bags of chips or sides, and you will easily have two meals. Hands down, best value I've encountered in NYC to date.
Posted by Anonymous on 12/04/2003
Great food. Creative sandwiches that are absolutely amazing tasting. Best sandwhich place in downtown ny. I should know, i tried them all while working there for 4 years.

The Sound Archive's world and traditional music collections include music from Australasia.
Collection overview
Unpublished recordings from Oceanic/Australasian in the Sound Archive comprise 21 separate ethnographic collections, including 12 wax cylinder collections. Published material include early recordings on 78rpm discs primarily of Maori choral music issued on the Columbia label. Later periods are represented by an array of western labels as well as the regional Kiwi and Larrikin publishing companies. We also hold full runs of the detailed publications issued by the Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders Studies.
Published recordings
Published recordings of music from the Oceania/Australasian region include a number of examples of Maori traditions issued as 78rpm discs on Columbia label and as LPs on the Kiwi label. In October 2003 we received a copy of a CD from the National Library of New Zealand of classic concert party recordings of the Ngati Poneke Young Maori Club with solos by Witarina Harris, founder member. These recordings, dating from the late 1930s are accompanied in their own right by wonderful texts and photographs and the publication as a whole is produced in association with the book The Silent Migration: stories of urban migration, Ngati Poneke Young Maori Club 1937-1948 (Huia Publishers).
The majority of our holdings of Australian Aboriginal musics are on cassettes, LPs, CDs and videos produced by the Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders Studies. These publications are presented regionally with several issues of 'Music from the northern territories', 'Songs from the Kimberleys', 'Songs from Yarrabah', etc.
Other Oceanic and Australasian material appears on the Larrikin label that publishes Aboriginal and European music from Australia and music from Papua New Guinea. The Dutch label Pan Record's publications of some 16 CDs in their Anthology of Pacific Music is notable in this context, particularly for its coverage of music from Tonga.
Unpublished recordings
The very earliest ethnographic recordings in the Sound Archive come from this region. These were wax cylinder recordings (C80) made by the first anthropological expedition, led by A.C. Haddon, that set out from Cambridge for the Torres Strait in 1898. The expedition resulted in some 100 recordings recorded among a number of communities on Murray, Saibai, Mabuiag (Jervis) and Yam islands. In fact the Oceanic region is well represented in the rest of our wax cylinder holdings, with recordings made in Australia, Papua New Guinea, Vanuatu, Solomon Islands and New Caledonia.
The remaining ethnographic collections date from the early 1950s to the late 1980s and cover Fiji, Kiribati, the Solomon Islands, Australia, New Britain, Papua New Guinea and New Zealand. The collections are briefly described below.

Young Spanish right-back Antonio Barragan is hoping to make his Anfield debut tonight as Liverpool aim to book their place in the group phase of the Champions League.
The summer signing from Sevilla has been named in the squad for the visit of CSKA Sofia and, with Rafael Benitez hinting that he will be making changes for this 3rd qualifying round second leg tie, there is every chance that Barragan could feature.
Benitez is a well known admirer of Barragan. On signing him, the Reds boss described the 18-year old as 'the best young right back in Spain', and he had no qualms about handing his new young defender a senior debut in Sofia a fortnight ago.
Speaking exclusively to Liverpoolfc.tv Barragan says: "I have to say I can't wait to play at Anfield. I have watched the two games at Anfield so far this season against TNS and Kaunas and I was very impressed by the atmosphere and I can't wait to experience it myself soon playing in the red shirt of Liverpool.
"I was delighted to make my first team debut in the Champions League. It was an unforgettable experience for me and it came earlier than I expected.
"Rafael Benitez was a big factor in me coming to Liverpool but just to play for the European Champions is special. I'm so proud, in fact I can't describe in words how proud I am to play for Liverpool.
"After the match in Bulgaria the manager told me I did very well and I just have to continue working hard in training and fight for a place in his first team."
Barragan was born in Pontedeume, Galicia, in Spain and is an under-19 international. From the tender age of six he has always wanted to be a professional footballer and is a great admirer of the Juventus and France right back Lilian Thuram. Barragan says he has tried to copy Thuram and likes his style of play.
Coming to Liverpool has also given Barragan the chance to play with another one of his modern heroes and that is the Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard.
Barragan adds: "I am very happy to be a Liverpool player and I can't believe I am training and playing alongside one of my favourite players in Steven Gerrard.
"I am an attacking right back and love to get forward. I really admire Lilian Thuram as and have tried to model my game on him. I will keep working hard and keep improving my game."
The player admits that having other Spanish players at Anfield has helped him settle quickly into life in a new country.
"There are a few Spanish players at Liverpool and it does help you settle in better as they speak your language but I have been made to feel very welcome here by everyone," he says. "I am learning English and can speak a little bit and interact well with the other players.
"I really like the city of Liverpool, it is a nice place. I am staying with a lovely family who have made me very welcome and I am really enjoying it."
Before completing his dream move to Anfield Barragan watched Liverpool's dramatic Champions League win in Spain with his family and admits to cheering loudly for the Reds.
"Everyone in Spain was supporting Liverpool and I was shouting and screaming for Liverpool, especially when Xabi Alonso scored," he explains. "I couldn't believe it and to come back from 3-0 down in the way they did was amazing!"

I just started EC'ing today with my DD and I'm already loving it! She's almost 7 months old and I've caught 2 poos and 6 pees, all before 1 pm. We've only had one miss, and I "knew" she had to go to the bathroom, but was eating breakfast and got to her too late. I've wanted to start for awhile and just never actually did, but today we haven't had access to a W/D and ran out of diapers.
I'm so glad she still signals; I thought I had missed the boat!
A'ing, ,,, Momma to one DD 1/1/12 . Trying to and hoping for a next time!
I started at 6 mos with DS1 and he was out of diapers completely by 15 mos. Totally not too late!!
Congrats on your successes!!
Laurie, wife to DH (Aug/04), mom to DS1 (Nov/05), DS2 (June/12), DD (May/15).
I need some tips! My little boy is just at 4 months, and I started reading about this today and gave it a try. I tried twice to have him pee over the toilet (once right after his nap and once right after nursing) and both times he peed RIGHT when I got his nappy back on. In fact, the second time, he peed when I got it back on, and then when I went to change it he peed again on my bed! haha.
Anyway, PLEASE give me any "starting out" tips that you can. I did the "pss" noise and really would like to get into EC but I got a bad start! : )

Day 1/WO 1
- Most of these Wo's are strip sets while super setting. I am essentially using the 13 week fat burning program. Last night in the gym, the first half of the workout felt awesome, was lifting great, and then all of a sudden, just over half way through my energy levels dropped off, and I felt like a life sized version of Gumby. I will definately need to make some adjustments to my portion sizes and add in an pre wo shake.
On these workouts, there are no real resting periods, basically enough time to set up the weights, grab a swig of xtend and keep going. All chest excersizes are super setted with a back excersize to keep the blood moving.

As you can see, I was not concentrating on moving big weight to start. I wanted to make sure my form was good, and that I would be able to keep up a good pace throughout the whole work out. Even with my energy levels dropping, I still was able to bang it all out. Today I feel good. This morning I was a bit more hungry than normal.

Auckland Fringe 2013
Directed/Written by Markus Hofko & Karin Hofko
presented by Auckland Fringe Festival
at The Basement, Lower Greys Ave, Auckland
From 24 Feb 2013 to 10 Mar 2013
[Sundays only - 45 mins]
Reviewed by Anna Stillaman, 24 Feb 2013
The musicians and performers of Mr Sackman have put together a visually intriguing performance that lives up to its reputation as surreal and bizarre.
Written and directed by Markus Hofko & Karin Hofko, this musical play takes us on a journey that jostles between reality and fantasy – blending our world with another strange and metaphorical world that Mr Sackman inhabits.
The play begins before the audience enters the room, and before the lights are down. As we meander to our seats, the play's Ringmaster is greeting us, jamming with his musicians, chatting about riddles, prancing and dancing, so that just as you start to wonder when they are going to start, you realise that it has already begun.
There is no story in the traditional sense; rather we are taken on a metaphoric journey through some of life's questions and tragedies. Just as we think we might be gaining some kind of understanding about what is going on, the play shifts tack and we are thrust into something even more bizarre.
There is much expectation surrounding the arrival of Mr Sackman. When he does appear, he is an isolated and uncertain creature. Notably, he speaks in gibberish that not even the other characters understand. Ultimately we never discover who Mr Sackman is. The sense is that he represents Everyman, journeying through the world, picking up bits and pieces, and struggling to be understood by those he encounters. Along the way, he inadvertently affects the lives of those around him.
As a performance, Mr Sackman blends music, movement and theatre, making it difficult to ascribe any particular genre to it. Musically, it is alive with tension. The seven-piece ensemble work cohesively to create a distracted and 'disorganised' sound, but always blending together to remind us that there is order in their chaos.
The set is simple, with striking use of a screen where silhouettes, colour and scenes are played out. Elizabeth Wilson's truly excellent costumes evoke a sense of 'ragbag fiesta' in their design with no unnecessary fluff.
The play concludes with a moving dance by Sarah Houbolt eliciting release, surrender, freedom and elation.
Despite everything Mr Sackman does so well, the performance doesn't quite deliver on the tension and anticipation that it so expertly inspires. While one could argue that this is yet another metaphor about life, I found myself wanting more. The play hums along, but lacks real dramatic shape, and the performances and script feel a little loose at times.
That said, if you can abandon yourself (for about 45 minutes) to a visual and aural journey, and are happy to make of the imagery what you will, you'll certainly enjoy yourself.
As I watched the audience emerge from the theatre, they were smiling, and I heard one woman comment that it was "quite cool".

90s time was Brad Pitt's time; it still is but a little less than that. Brad Pitt is seriously a hotness standard and then he has Angeline Jolie around; both of them look like the most awesome couple one can ever think of.
Other than the looks and hotness, he is such a skilled and remarkable actor! So here we have the tip top 10 movies of him in which he performed really well. All the roles he chose worked awesomely as Brad Pitt managed perfectly the transitioning for all these roles.
Thelma and Louise
This movie was released in 1991 it was Brad Pitt's first movie and was rate R for strong language and for violence and sensuality. Its estimated budget was $16,500,000.

Does Homeowners Insurance Cover Water In Crawl Space?
- 37387 POINTSDavid G. Pipes, CLU®, RICP®PROowner/agent, Rooney Pipes Insurance Agency for the Horace Mann Insurance Companies, Fresno, CaliforniaThere are significant exclusions in homeowner's policies regarding water. The company is pledged to pay for damages and the existence of water under the home might fail to meet that definition. If the water is there because a water line inside the house suddenly burst, your company might pay for removing the water that collects beneath the house. If the water under your house came from some other source, coverage will likely be denied.Answered on March 13, 2014+0

Finding Family in Pre-1850 Censuses, by Juliana Smith
While the U.S. Censuses for 1850-1930 are among the most popular resources for family historians, the pre-1850 enumerations are among the most overlooked. While they may not provide the same detail as later enumerations, they can still help place your ancestors in a particular location during the census year. The tough part is determining which family is yours.
I was recently searching for my Kelly family in New York in pre-1850 censuses and to help figure out where I need to look, I employed the use of a few charts.
First I created a chart that projected how old each person in the family would be for a particular census year. I used a spreadsheet, but this could easily be done on a sheet of paper by hand with a grid.
Across the top I listed each family members name and the estimated year they were born. Along the side of the grid were all of the census years. Beginning on the line for the first census year that they were alive for, I listed how old I thought they would be in that year. Then I just added ten years to each of these and filled out all the years in which they were alive. Now I had a handy chart to work with for my second step. (I've copied a portion of it below.
Next I printed out a blank census form for 1840 from Ancestry and put the initial of each family member in the appropriate age bracket based on the census chart I had created. Using my grid chart made it easy to go across the form and figure out which of the family members fell in each age category. Then I just had to tally them up.
A Couple Things to Consider
- There may be children listed in the census that died young and that I'm not aware of so if there are extra young children, I shouldn't dismiss a record. There may also be more than just the one family living in the home. Additional adults may be other relatives or the spouse of one of the older children. For these reasons, I didn't rule out families who had "extras.â€
- Older children may have moved out. To designate, which children might not be still at home in a particular census year, I circled the tallies for children that would have been twenty or older. I did the same for children who would have been in their upper teens. Since some families lived together even after the children were married, I didn't want to rule them out, but still want to remind myself that one or more of them may have moved out. It was also a reminder that additional adults of the opposite gender could be spouses.
- For a person whose birth bridged two categories (e.g., a fifteen-year-old might have fallen in the "ten & under fifteen†category, or in the "fifteen and under twenty†category, depending on when his birthday fell and when the census was taken.), I drew a line across the two categories to remind me that I could be flexible with that one.
Using this template, it was much easier to compare my family to the census records as I browsed through all of the James Kellys in New York. Despite the exceptions to the template, by looking at the individuals who would have most likely have been in the house—typically parents and young children—I was able to rule out most of the James Kellys in New York. Now I will turn to other records, like directories and possibly religious records, to see if I can discern if one of the remaining Kellys is my family.

Taking a Step Back to Review, by Juliana Smith
In a world where we can click and add a record to our tree, it's easy to lose track of all the details we find in a record. As we continue to gather records, a lot of clues get lost along the way. Periodically it's important to go back and do a comprehensive review of what we have accumulated. If we look at the big picture, we're going to spot a lot more opportunities for further research and we may find that the clue you've been searching for has been sitting in your files all along. Here are some tips for reviewing what has been found for an ancestor.
Take some time to step out of the search mode and gather all the information you've found on an ancestor. Grab a pad of paper or open up a blank document on the computer to take notes. (If you're like me and are tempted to run off and investigate the first item you find, you might want to stick with the pad and paper and leave the computer off. Many a review session of mine has gone unfinished because I saw "something shiny in the distance!â€)
Inventory the records you have collected on the person, and go through and re-read them, taking notes on any thoughts that come into your head. Make to-do lists as you find things you'd like to follow up on.
I use charts liberally in my reviewing. For example, if I have an ancestor whose age is inconsistent in multiple records, I'll create a chart of all of the places where I have an age for that person, and estimate the year of birth. When I look at the big picture, sometimes it's easier to figure out what record or records are more likely to be correct. I've also created lists of sponsors for families and have often found relations within these lists.
Once you've completed a thorough review, you're sure to have a healthy to-do list. Now it's time to power up that computer again and start tackling whatever you can online. With the information fresh in your mind, your chances for success are very good!
Tips from the Pros: The "Maybe Relateds ,†from Loretto D. Szucs
When you're working on common surnames, it doesn't take very long for things to get awfully confusing. This is especially true if you are working in big cities where there may be hundreds of unrelated people sharing the same last name. And in our case, those families with common surnames had no idea of how they would deepen our frustration by giving their children common first names like John, James, William and Mary. Fortunately, when I took my first genealogy class (way back in the last century), the instructor wisely taught us to keep track of all findings – even when the people found in the records appear not to be related to your family. She suggested keeping a "Maybe Related" file and I can tell you it was one of the best methods I ever learned. Â
Before we had the wonderful convenience of indexed census records on our home computer screens, we had to go to a library or an archive and tediously search through page after page of names. Frankly, I was impatient to zero in and copy only information that pertained to known relatives, but I'm glad I followed the instructor's teachings. I'm not sure I'd have the patience to do it now, but I made an index card for every Dennis, Dyer, Kelly, Miller, Muller and Nelson that I ran across in census schedules, books and other records. It wasn't feasible to copy every piece of information on every record, but I did copy names, ages, occupations, birthplaces or other identifying information, along with the name of the record in which the name was found, the page number, the name of library or archive in which it was found and the date it was found. In that way, I'm able to go back to a record if I ever need it again. It sure beats trying to remember where I saw something and wasting precious time wading through collections for a second or third time. In recent years, I've transcribed these index cards into lists and spreadsheets on my computer. I've also learned to keep track of people who may or may not be related when I search records on Ancestry.com and other internet sites. This file has helped me more than once to figure out who is, and who is not mine.
Keeping track of same-named ladies and gentlemen turned out to be enormously helpful when I went to the Family History Library in Salt Lake City earlier this month. As I looked for our James Miller in vital records, I found several possible candidates, but looking back on my "Maybe Related" file I was able to see how most of my new finds couldn't possibly be him because of significant discrepancies in age, birthplace, family composition, or death dates. There's one James Miller who looks pretty suspicious, however. His age matches, his wife's name is right, but everything we have says our ancestor was German born. The enumerator noted that this newly-found fellow was Irish born. I copied relevant information anyway and hopefully one day soon, we will be able to sort it all out and know which one might be our ancestor.
If you have common name mysteries in your family, I highly recommend the "Maybe Related" filing system on your computer or even the index card method. Call me "old fashioned" but I still love to pull out the index cards and move them around and analyze them in different ways. As we add to these files, individual and family patterns will emerge and those hidden behind common names will finally reveal themselves. At least sometimes they do!

I open Google Earth at the same time I log on to Ancestry.com. That way, I can place push pins in the map of places in the archives, and get a feel for the terrain. Those little 360 degree photos also help you get an idea of the locale. There is a measurement device on Google Earth that will compute mileage "as the crow flies" right down to hundredths of a mile. (e.g., 35.21 miles)

The Year Was 1881
The year was 1881 and the assassination of Tsar Aleksandr II and rumors of Jewish involvement set off waves of violence against Russian Jews that went on for four years. In addition the the pogroms, the "May Laws" restricted Jewish employment and education, and prohibiting them from living in towns with populations less than 10,000. It's estimated that more than 2 million Jews fled Russia as a result of the violence and the May Laws.
More than six hundred people were killed in a fire at the Ring Theatre in Vienna, Austria. The fire started when a stagehand accidentally set some hanging stage props on fire. The fire quickly caught the curtains and spread. To make matters worse, management cut off the gas to the theatre, which extinguished the lights and crowds quickly filled the stairwells. Those caught in the upper decks were trapped and many began jumping from the balconies, killing not only themselves, but those below.
Fire also claimed more than two hundred lives in the "Thumb†of Michigan. (The Thumb refers to the part of Michigan just above Detroit that resembles the thumb of the mitten-shaped Lower Peninsula.)
The Thumb wildfires were the result of a drought that affected much of the United States in 1881. Extending from New England through the Midwest and into Western states, it severely impacted the corn growing states and drove up prices on many types of produce.
A hurricane struck Georgia and the Carolinas in 1881 left more than seven hundred people dead and completely submerged several of the barrier islands.
On July 2, the President James A. Garfield was shot by a lawyer who had worked on his campaign and had been rebuffed in his attempts to land an ambassadorship to Paris. Although Garfield survived the initial shooting, doctors probing the wound with unwashed hands trying to locate the bullet brought on an infection that killed him two and a half months later.
The "Wild West" of America was living up to its name in 1881. A gunfight in an El Paso saloon, sometimes called the "Four Dead in Five Seconds Gunfight" was brought on over the investigation of cattle rustlers and the murders of two Mexican farmhands.
Cattle rustling along the U.S./Mexican border had become a growing problem in recent years and the Mexican government was fighting back. As it became harder for rustlers to steal cattle from across the border, crimes on the northern side increased. In Tombstone, Arizona, tensions over recent crimes between the Earp brothers and Doc Holliday, and the Clantons and McLaurys erupted in one of the most famous gun battles–the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral.

WASHINGTON - Constitutional arguments that seem as dry as dust can have momentous consequences. On Monday, the Supreme Court's nine fine minds will hear oral arguments about the meaning of "the" and "happen." What they decide could advance the urgent project of reining in rampant executive power.
"The president," says the Constitution, "shall have the power to fill up all vacancies that may happen during the recess of the Senate" (emphasis added). Monday's case concerns whether Barack Obama made recess appointments when the Senate was not in recess, and made them to fill vacancies that did not happen during a recess.
In 2012, the National Labor Relations Board rendered a decision adverse to a soft-drink bottler in Yakima, Wash. The bottler asked the court to declare the NLRB's intervention unlawful because the board did not have a legitimate quorum, three members having been installed by Obama when the Senate was not in recess as the Framers understood this term.
Republicans, wanting to block some Obama nominations, used a practice Democrats used in 2007 when they controlled the Senate and wanted to block some George W. Bush nominees. Operating under a unanimous consent agreement - no Democrat objected - Republicans conducted pro forma sessions Jan. 3 and Jan. 6 of 2012. Obama declared the Senate in recess Jan. 4 and made his NLRB appointments, thereby disregarding the Senate's determination of the rules of its proceedings, and the settled practice both parties have used to remain not in recess even when most senators are away.
The Obama administration argues that the word "happen" is a synonym for "exist." And it rejects the argument that an intra-session Senate break is a synonym for "adjournment," not "recess." This, however, ignores the reasonable reading of the definite article: Recess appointments fill vacancies that "happen," meaning come about, during "the" recess of the Senate - the one break that occurs between sessions, which until the Civil War usually lasted only three to six months.
The first president made the first recess appointment in the first year of his first term, in 1789, when travel was slow and arduous, and Congress was usually not in session. The Recess Appointments Clause was written when conditions made such a power crucial. Obama, however, contends that in today's world of instant communication and easy travel, he deserves a much larger - almost unlimited - recess appointment power.
His administration argues that "at least 14 presidents have, collectively, made at least 600 civilian appointments (and thousands of military ones) during intra-session recesses." But Obama's action regarding the NLRB is characteristic of his aggressive expansion of presidential power. He is the first president to make recess appointments when the Senate was convening pro forma sessions every three days, and he has articulated an anti-constitutional defense of his aggression: "I refuse to take no for an answer. ... When Congress refuses to act ... I have an obligation as president to do what I can without them."
If he really can refuse a "no" answer, then the Senate's role in the appointment process is vitiated. Now the court should apprise him of what he cannot do without Congress. Which means a Madisonian dialectic is occurring: The executive's usurpation of power has provoked the legislature, precipitating an overdue judicial intervention to clarify constitutional boundaries. The Constitution's text, and perhaps its original meaning, may be at odds with historical practice.
Because the ability to defeat by filibuster some presidential nominees has recently been restricted, perhaps not for the last time, presidents will have less need to resort to recess appointments. Nevertheless, were the court to uphold Obama's action, two of the Senate's constitutional powers would be substantially reduced - the power (which the House also has) to "determine the rules of its proceedings," and the power to reject presidential nominees.
Many presidents have chafed against limits to their power, but in progressive presidents normal political ambition is alloyed with a validating ideology. Woodrow Wilson provided the progressive template by disparaging the separation of powers as an anachronistic impediment to the presidential power requisite for the modern age.
Monday's argument will be another manifestation of America's intermittent efforts to tame executive power, efforts that predate nationhood: The Declaration of Independence is a menu of complaints against "a long train of abuses and usurpations" by "the present King of Great Britain."
The present president's cavalier approach to statutes (as with his unilateral rewriting of the Affordable Care Act) and the Constitution (see four paragraphs above) make Monday's argument important.

- Evolution and paleontology
- Classification
galliform (order Galliformes), any of the gallinaceous (that is, fowl-like or chickenlike) birds. The order includes about 290 species, of which the best-known are the turkeys, chickens, quail, partridge, pheasant and peacock (Phasianidae); guinea fowl (Numididae); and grouse (Tetraonidae). Lesser-known members of the order are the megapodes and the chachalacas, guans, and curassows. Although the hoatzin is treated here with the Galliformes, most taxonomists have assigned it to the family Opisthocomidae (order Cuculiformes).
General features
Size range and diversity of structure
Most galliforms are medium-sized birds, from the size of a pigeon to that of a domestic chicken, 40 to 60 cm (16 to 24 inches) long and 500 to 2,500 grams (1 to 5.5 pounds) in weight. The smallest members of the order are the sparrow-sized painted quail (Excalfactoria), about 13 cm (5 inches) long and about 45 grams (about 1.5 ounces) in weight. The heaviest galliform is the common, or wild, turkey (Meleagris gallopavo), wild specimens of which may weigh up to 11 kg (about 24 pounds); the longest is the argus pheasant (Argusianus argus), the male of which reaches 2 metres (79 inches) in breeding plumage, including wing and tail feathers, whose length exceeds one metre.
The majority of gallinaceous birds are heavy-bodied, with short, rounded wings and strong, four-toed feet, adapted for life on the ground; a few, such as cracids and the hoatzin, live mainly in trees. The bill is short and slightly downcurved. The flight is fast but rarely sustained for long distances, most galliforms being sedentary, nonmigratory birds.
Some members of the order are found in virtually every habitat in subarctic, temperate, and tropical regions of the larger landmasses, and a few species (such as the ptarmigan, Lagopus) live within the Arctic Circle. The phasianids, the 178 species of which constitute by far the largest family, have nearly the distribution of the order. The cracids, with about 34 species, are restricted to tropical woodlands of Central and South America. The 18 species of grouse are found in northern temperate and Arctic regions of both hemispheres. The remaining groups are more restricted in distribution. The 10 species of megapodes inhabit forests from the East Indies east to the Fiji Islands and south to central Australia. Guinea fowl are restricted to Africa south of the Sahara but have been widely introduced on other continents. The two turkeys are native to North and Central America; the common, or wild, turkey in temperate woodlands of eastern United States and Mexico; and the ocellated turkey (Agriocharis ocellata) in Guatemala, Belize, and the Yucatán Peninsula of Mexico. The hoatzin (Opisthocomus hoazin) inhabits wooded river edges in northern and eastern South America.
Importance to humans
Gallinaceous birds are unquestionably the most important avian group from the human standpoint. The chicken (Gallus domesticus) was domesticated in southern Asia at least 4,000 years ago from a parental stock of one or more species of jungle fowl (principally G. gallus). Selective breeding has produced well over 100 varieties, most of which are specialized for the production of either eggs or meat. In North America and to a lesser extent in northern Europe, the turkey is raised in numbers second only to those of the chicken. Domestic breeding of the turkey has been primarily for rapid growth and high market weight, the birds being raised solely for meat. Mature toms (males) may reach 23 kg (about 51 pounds). In many parts of the world, guinea fowl are an important barnyard species and are valued for the readiness with which they give alarm at the approach of a predator. (For a complete account of domestic gallinaceous birds, see poultry farming.)
Galliform birds constitute the large majority of land game birds, in number both of species and of individuals. Populations in North America and in western Europe are often carefully managed through habitat manipulation, supplemental feeding, and artificial rearing to ensure maximum hunting yields. The common pheasant (Phasianus colchicus, called the ring-necked pheasant in the United States) was introduced in North America late in the 19th century and has become widely established. Several species of quail (especially those of the genera Coturnix and Colinus) and partridge (Perdix and Alectoris) provide much sport hunting. A widespread tendency in game bird management has been the introduction of species to areas where they have not been found previously.
The North American wild turkey, once nearly exterminated by overhunting, has responded to careful management and is now taken in fair numbers in the hardwood forests of the eastern United States. Grouse (including ptarmigan) are hunted throughout their range.
Natural history
Habitat selection and food habits
As an order, the galliforms inhabit a wide variety of vegetational types, including dense and open forest, open grasslands, scrub and second-growth forest, and flooded riparian (river) forests. Megapodes live in dense jungle, some appearing in the open only to lay eggs on sandy beaches. The mallee fowl (Leipoa ocellata) is an exception, inhabiting the eucalyptus thickets that characterize the arid interior of Australia. The majority of galliforms roost on elevated perches at night, even those species that spend the daylight hours foraging on the ground. Virtually the only ones that live in treeless regions are certain of the grouse, such as the tundra-inhabiting ptarmigan, the prairie chickens (Tympanuchus cupido and T. pallidicinctus), the sage grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus), and the sharp-tailed grouse (T. phasianellus). The Eurasian black grouse (Tetrao tetrix) occurs in open country and in forested regions. Most of the true pheasant, including the peafowl, are residents of open forest with clearings. Guinea fowl of the genera Guttera and Agelastes and quail of the New World genus Odontophorus inhabit dense tropical forest. The hoatzin is closely associated with water and is almost never found far from it.
The food of galliforms is varied, most species being basically vegetarian, but they also take large numbers of insects, worms, and other invertebrates. Many use their feet to uncover food in leaf litter. The hoatzin feeds on leaves and fruit, especially those of arums (Araceae), rarely descending to the ground but occasionally entering the water to take small crabs or fish.

COLUMBIA - The South Carolina men's basketball roster continues its offseason makeover this month.
Jaylen Shaw, a rising sophomore, will transfer from the program, according to multiple reports. Shaw, a 6-foot guard from Hartsville, averaged three points, a half rebound and fewer than 10 minutes per game as a freshman.
Between sophomores Sindarius Thornwell and Duane Notice, South Carolina has a young and talented group of guards clogging its backcourt depth chart. That left Shaw stuck on the bench, behind them.
Shaw is South Carolina's second player this month to transfer from the program. He joins sophomore forward Desmond Ringer, who will play next season at Mercer.

Mining Publication: Regional Bumps: Case Studies from the 1958 Bump Symposium
Original creation date: January 2010
A variety of dynamic failure cases with regional impact were described at a bump symposium held in 1958. These types of events, while rare, are of particular interest because their ability to impact a large area has disaster potential. These cases can be grouped into two broad classes of events by mechanism. These are (1) a slip along steeply dipping faults and (2) the fracturing of strong strata above or below the coal seam. Both failure modes produce dynamic or "shock" loads on the perimeter (roof, rib and floor) of mine openings. Special consideration should be given to these failure modes in the planning of deep coal mines, since their occurrence is not within the professional experience of many contemporary workers. In addition, their potential is not evaluated by many of the analysis tools commonly used to evaluate hazards in coal mine plans.

Dumbo the Flying Elephant has been capturing the imagination of children since August 1955 when the first person received a black feather (those at the head of the line who will get on with the next loading get black feathers) to help them fly. Though not running on the park's first day, it was part of the original construction for Fantasyland. As part of the 1983 redesign of Fantasyland it was moved to its current location. The ride is popular with young children since the Dumbo ride vehicle allows a parent and child to ride together with the kid controlling the rise and fall of the elephant.

Filed Mar. 31, 1971, Ser. No. 129,859 Int. Cl. H01l 7/34 US. Cl. 148-188 15 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A method for providing a controlled degradation of minority carrier lifetime in a silicon semiconductor crystal body employing H P, [OH] as a source of platinum. One gram of H 1, [OH] is dissolved in 130 cc. of anhydrous acetone. Approximately 0.05 cc. of this solution is placed on the surface of a silicon semiconductor crystal body. The solution is dried and the body is then heated to the platinum diffusion temperature for a time sufficient to have platinum atoms uniformly distributed throughout the active portion of the silicon crystal.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Field of the invention The field of this invention is for a method to control the minority carrier lifetime of a semiconductor crystal body employed in an electrical translating device and more particularly to an improved method for providing a source of platinum atoms as a lifetime control agent.
Prior art It has heretofore been known to employ certain lifetime control agents such as gold to be diffused into a semiconductor crystal body. It has also been known to employ platinum for such a purpose. Heretofore, the technique for providing the source of the lifetime killing atoms has generally involved the deposition of gold onto the surface of the semiconductor crystal body whose minority carrier lifetime is to be controlled. Likewise, platinum and other lifetime killers have also been similarly so used. The technique for depositing the lifetime killer onto the surface of the semiconductor crystal body by such prior art techniques is generally expensive and time consuming and also does not provide as controlable a source of lifetime Pt as is desired. Additionally such prior art methods re quire the use of expensive equipment such as evaporators, sputtering chambers, or plating equipment.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a simplified and reliable process for providing a source of platinum atoms for diffusion into a semiconductor crystal body to control the minority carrier lifetime thereof. It involves the preparation of a solution of a platinum bearing compound dissolved in a solvent having a concentration of platinum sufficient to affect the lifetime of the semiconductor upon the subsequent diffusion therein of platinum.
In accordance with the presently preferred embodiment of the invention, a dilute solution of hexahydroxy platinic acid (H P [OH] in acetone is employed as a source of platinum to carry out the invention method as follows: One gram of the acid is dissolved in 130 cc. of anhydrous acetone. Approximately 0.05 cc. of this solution is dispersed, as by spraying, on the surface of a semiconductor slice which contains a PN junction. The semiconductor is dried in an oven at 50 to 100 C. and then baked at a high temperature causing the acid to decom pose and the platinum to diffuse into the semiconductor material. Maintaining the temperature for some time allows the platinum to diffuse evenly throughout the body of the semiconductor wafer. As one typical example, a
high voltage fast switching planar silicon diode was made using the presently preferred mebodiment of the invention in which a temperature of 960 C. for 30 minutes was used in the diffusion step.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a new method for introducing platinum as a lifetime control element in silicon semiconductor electrical translating devices.
A further object of the present invention is to provide an improved method for providing a source of platinum for use as a lifetime control element for semiconductor electrical translating elements.
The novel features which are believed to be characteristic of the invention both as to its organization and DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING In the drawing:
FIG. 1 is a greatly enlarged across-sectional view of a silicon wafer during an intermediate step in the production of a high switching speed, high voltage planar diode, to be processed in accordance with the presently preferred embodiment of the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the wafer of FIG. 1 during a subsequent step;
FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view similar to FIG. 3 during a later step, employing the present invention method;
FIG. 4 is a graph showing a typical reverse currentreverse voltage cure of a fast switching diode constructed in accordance with a prior art lifetime control method;
FIG. 5 is a graph showing a curve similar to FIG. 4 for a diode constructed in accordance with the present invention method; and
FIG. 6 is a graph showing a family of curves showing the capacitance vs. reverse voltage characteristics for several diodes constructed in accordance with the present invention method and prior art methods, as well.
Referring now to FIGS. 1-3, there now will be described the steps involved in producing a certain type of semiconductor electrical translating device which is but one of many semiconductor devices to which the present invention method may be advantageously applied. For purposes of example only it will be assumed that the present invention lifetime control method is being applied to a high speed, high voltage planar silicon diode of a type well known to the art.
As shown in FIG. 1, a slice of 1 /22 inch diameter single crystal of n+ conductivity silicon 12 has deposited on one of its surfaces a layer of n-type conductivity epitaxial silicon 11. The parent crystal 12 has a thickness of from 10--14 mils, while the epitaxial region 11 is typically on the order of 1 mil in thickness.
Next, the wafer 10 of FIG. 1 is treated in accordance with well known prior art techniques involving masking and photo exposure, depositing a layer of silicon dioxide (SiO 14 over the surface of the wafer, the layer having numerous openings or windows 15 therein as shown in FIG. 2. Through the windows 15, a dopant such as boron is diffused into the epitaxial n-type silicon layer 11 forming regions of P+ conductivity 16. At the same time that P+ regions 16 are formed a P+ region 17 is formed on the opposite face of wafer 10. The source of boron for this step is commonly called di'borane (B H The back surface of the wafer 10 is then sandblasted removing the P+ region and exposing surface 20 of n+ conductivity silicon. The wafer is then ultrasonically cleaned and dried.
Hereafter a solution of platinum is prepared as follows: One gram of hexahydroxy platinic acid (H P [OH] is dissolved into 130 cc. of anhydrous acetone at room temperature. Two drops of this solution (approximately 0.05 cc.) is dispersed on the n{ surface 20 of wafer 10.
The wafer is then allowed to dry. Placing the wafer in an oven maintained at 50-100 C. will facilitate the drying.
Next the wafer is heated to a temperature of 960 C. for 30 minutes. At this temperature the acid decomposes into platinum, water and oxygen and the platinum reacts with silicon on the wafer surface to form platinum silicide. Platinum atoms from the platinum silicide then diffuse into the body of wafer 10. If an excess of platinum atoms are available, that is if more than a certain minimum amount of hexahydroxy platinic acid is present, the number of platinum atoms which diffuse into the silicon wafer 10 is dependent only on the temperature since the solubility of platinum in silicon is a function of temperature.
After the platinum diffusion step the surfaces of the wafer are cleaned and prepared so as to receive contacts utilizing well-known prior art procedures.
The large wafer is then cut into a number of small wafers each containing one of the windows 15. The masking material 14 is removed from each small wafer as by sandblasting and contacts are attached to the P+ regions 16 and 11+, regions 12 of each small wafer by using prior art methods. The resulting semiconductor device is completed by being put into a protective housing.
FIG. shows the reverse voltage characteristics of a typical device made in accordance with the described method. For comparison FIG. 4 shows the reverse voltage characteristics of a similar device except that gold is used as the minority carrier lifetime control agent. The gold was introduced in this device by prior art methods. It can be seen that the knee in the device made in accordance with the present invention is much sharper than the prior art device. The sharp knee is of great advantage in certain types of circuits as is Well known to those skilled in the art.
It has been found that the reverse breakdown voltage is increased substantially in a device which has been doped with platinum by the method of this invention as compared to undoped devices. For example, in the specific example described above the breakdown voltage was about 150-200 v. higher than it would have been had no platinum been diffused into the device at all. The resistivity of the parent wafer was approximately 8 ohm cm. and the resultant breakdown voltage is 260 v. An undoped parent crystal processed in the same manner except for the introduction of the platinum minority carrier control agent would be expected to result in a device having a reverse breakdown voltage of 150-170 volts.
The reverse recovery time (t of a device made in accordance with the procedure of the present invention using a diffusion temperature of 960 C. is about 65 nanoseconds. Lower values of t can be achieved by using a higher diffusion temperature and conversely higher reverse recovery times result from lower diffusion temperatures.
FIG. 6 shows a comparison of the applied voltagejunction capacity characteristics of undoped (curve 21), platinum doped (curves '22 and 23), and gold doped (curve 24) devices. The platinum doped devices are made in accordance with the present invention while the undoped and gold doped are prior art devices. It can be seen that control of minority carrier lifetime by the method of the present invention does not destroy the voltagecapacity characteristic as does the prior art method (curve 24). It is thus possible to make a variable capacitor suitable for high frequency operation by the methods described herein.
The method of this invention has been described using a particular example for ease of explanation and clarity but it will be understood by those skilled in the art that other platinum bearing compounds, other solvents and semiconductor materials other than silicon, as for example, germanium, may be used as Well as different temperatures and different diffusion times all within the scope of the present invention. The platinum compound used should be one which decomposes on heating forming platinum and preferably gaseous products or products which do not react with the semiconductor material being used in such a way as to interfere with the operation of the completed device. Some examples of suitable platinum compounds are: P O P O P O, P [OH] -2H O, PmOHzO, Pt O '3H2O.
The solvent used may be selected mostly on the basis of convenience. The platinum compound should be soluble in it and should evaporate at a relatively low temperature. Examples of suitable solvents are: acetone, methanol, isopropyl alcohol, and methyl ethyl ketone.
The concentration of the solution should be such that a convenient amount of solution applied to the parent wafer will contain a sufficient number of platinum atoms to achieve the desired lifetime killing effect. If H P [OH] is used approximately times the number of atoms needed should be supplied. 0.05 cc. is a convenient amount of solution to cover the surface of a 1 /2 inch diameter wafer so that a satisfactory solution concentration would be 0.0005 gram/.05 cc. or 1.00 gram/100 cc.
The method of the present invention has been described using by Way of example, a silicon diode; however, it will be obvious to those skilled in the art that the same method can be used for the manufacture of transistors or other semiconductor devices wherein it is desirable to reduce minority carrier lifetime. The method may be carried out either before or after junction formation. The process may also be carried out on a slice of semiconductor material, as described, or on a large crystal before slicing. The time required for platinum atoms to diffuse through a large piece of semiconductor material will of course be greater than is required of a thin slice.

It definitely seems as if "educational" facilities and day care are becoming the nail salons and dry cleaners of a decade ago. Along with Kiddie Academy "child care learning center" opening soon downtown, here we have MathWizard now open at 13th & Grand Streets.
"MathWizard Learning Centers offer instruction for students in grades Pre-K through 9th grade. The classes cover a rich set of customized study material. Each center is like a small school that teaches Math and English, where class size does not exceed 8 students. In addition, we do not mix children of different grades or subjects in the same class."
A couple things. Why is it named "MathWizard," and not "Math Wizard?" They're already teaching kids improper spacing! It's not like they're teaching trademark and copyright law. Hmmm.
Also – what the heck ever happened to parents helping their kids with school work? Is everything involving raising kids now just outsourced? And what is wrong with our educational system that kids need so much help? (Forget it, I already know the answer…)

I did not care for this recipe. Tangy and strange. Also looks unappealing. I did not write that and do not appreciate having my original review shortened to just a few words. I did not use the word "unappealing" in my original review. If you thought it (the review) was inappropriate in some way, you shouldn't have included it at all. You should have sent an email with a request to change it if I still wanted to submit it. What's the point of submitting a review if it's going to be changed by you, allrecipes.com?

Cooking in college can be difficult on account of time/money, so this recipe was just too easy to pass up. My friends absolutely loved it! I added an extra clove of garlic and used a full tsp of Italian seasoning. I only had cream cheese, but it still tasted great! I'll be making this again soon!
SUPER EASY! I wanted to make something easy with some ground beef and this was it! I didn't have bow tie pasta so I used shells, used cream cheese like the others, and I used frozen onion (because I didn't feel like chopping an onion ;) ). It still turned out great! I toasted some bread to eat along with it too. Next time I'll probably use an actual onion though. Again, great recipe definitely a keeper!
My family loved this! I made it exactly as directed and even my 3 and 6 year old boys gobbled it up. I'm so happy to have found a new yummy, EASY recipe for those I-don't-feel-like-cooking nights!
*Definitely use MILD Picante Sauce if you'll be serving it to kids!
I followed the recipe but used what I had on hand which was a can of Rotel instead of salsa and Philadelphia Cooking Creme Roasted Garlic flavor instead of the regular cream cheese. I halved the recipe using 1/2 pound of ground beef. It was good and a quick lunch. Thanks!
This was really delicious!!! Both my husband and my 5 year old loved it! So easy and fast, too!
My husband loved this, and so did I. I followed the recipe exactly, except I used regular cream cheese, as my husband hates low fat anything. It was quick, easy, and delicious!
