Bassani Pro-Street Exhaust System For Harley Dyna
Bassani's Pro Street Systems are made to produce low-end grunt. Utilizing three pipe sizes, the graduation in diameter allows this exhaust to hone in on maximum torque right where most street riders need it - "downstairs" in the rev range. 1 3/4" headpipes step up to 2", and exhaust gas finally exits through 2 1/2" muffler bodies to keep exhaust velocity up and move the gases out of your bike quickly.

Madvertising: A Peek at the Real-Life Ad Campaigns Depicted on "Mad Men"
With the new season of "Mad Men" here, we started reminiscing about the ad campaigns that Don Draper and crew have worked on, from Kodak to Lucky Strike. The ads vividly evoke the early 1960s—but what really happened to those brands back in the day? When did real life trump "Mad Men"? Read and find out.

If a monster earthquake strikes off the Oregon Coast, could the resulting tsunami come all the way up the Columbia River and flatten downtown Portland? —Seismic Citizen
This is a popular misconception, possibly due to confusion in the public's mind between "a tsunami" and "Godzilla." Luckily, this is one of the relatively few things Portlanders won't have to worry about when we finally get our promised magnitude 9 superquake.
While tsunami waters may raise the level of the lower Columbia—no picnic for folks in, say, Astoria—the standard earthquake scenarios don't include a Poseidon Adventure-type wall of seawater coming to wash Portland proper into the sea.
That said, if you want to ruin your next trip to the coast, have a look at the tsunami hazard map for whatever seaside town you happen to be visiting—the one for Cannon Beach is particularly grim—and ponder the likelihood that you could get yourself and your beer cooler 100 feet above sea level (or 2 miles inland) in the 15 minutes coastal dwellers are projected to have between "first tremor" and "watery annihilation."
Thank God we live here in the Rose City, where the only liquid death we have to worry about is the melting of the very ground beneath our feet.
Say again? Well, it turns out that earthquakes can raise our underground water pressure in such a way that formerly solid ground will flow like a liquid. (Quicksand works the same way.) It's called "liquefaction," and as you might imagine, it's not good news for your favorite bridge, skyscraper or freeway overpass.
Couple this with the unique soup-sloshing-in-a-bowl effect of Portland geology (see Dr. Know No. 1, Sept. 23, 2009) and you can see that, even without a tsunami, we'll still have lots to brag about. Now, if only we had a nuclear power plant….

Women in Higher Education Leadership Summit
The Women in Higher Education Leadership Summit's (WHELS) purpose is twofold: 1) to provide higher education leaders with the tools and education to meet the challenges that they face in their workplace, 2) to address the issues specific to women and leadership and develop women's individual leadership capacity.
Summer 2016 Women in Higher Education Leadership Summit
June 5-8, 2016
Welcome to WHELS 2016. Please register here.
Women in higher education face an array of challenges given the recent economic downturn—including maintaining high-level programs in the wake of continued budget cuts, motivating and connecting with today's generation of students, balancing the demands of work life and home life, and finding time for continued personal and professional development.
Join us, as we address these issues and raise your leadership capacity in this four-day, intensive leadership summit.
How does the summit prepare women leaders?
Individualized approach
WHELS is not about giving answers to leaders. It's about developing people's capacities to respond to current higher education-related challenges. We help leaders to better understand their values and their personal tendencies when relating to others. The Summit consist of a variety of activities—including value card exercises, paper/pencil self assessments, ethical dilemmas, drawing activities, acting workshops and motivational speakers. All participants complete a Leadership Circle® 360 survey and the Meyers-Briggs Type Indicator, and receive personal coaching based on survey results. Through this approach, WHELS helps leaders to formulate their own visions for change and to implement solutions appropriately.
Leadership education
USD is at the forefront leadership education. In 1980, it founded the first doctoral program of leadership in the United States. The Summit is staffed by professors from USD's School of Leadership and Educational Sciences with research expertise in women leadership and higher education issues, as well as established experts in leadership development who many years of practical expertise in the field. Summit activities address themes such as leaders as learners, data-based decisions, integrated and strategic planning, viewing campus cultures as systems, multi-cultural aspects of leadership, student success strategies, ethics, and current college and university issues.
The learning community
WHELS brings together leaders from all sectors of higher education across the nation, and internationally, providing opportunities for interaction between leaders through small and large group activities throughout the Summit. We also have special events and workshops during the Summit in order to encourage our participants to share their experiences and insights with one another. We also encourage our participants to go on outings with other participants and to take advantage of the beautiful San Diego area to build up their networks. Many of our participants also choose to stay on our beautiful campus grounds during the conference in order to further enrich their communal learning experience.

Good luck getting your GED, Austin!
Re: GED Plus Program
They are closing it down next month in Arkansas. I do have another question, now both my recruiter and I ran into a problem, I passed my AIMS, TAPAS, ASVAB and physical, I do NOT hold a GED at this moment nor do I hold a local high school diploma. For some reason, now keep in mind the box at MEPS said "I am fully qualified to enlist." Their's this thing called a "T" score at the end of your contract that for Tier 2 applicants have to be a 103, I got a 93. I scored a higher AIMS and TAPAS then most traditional high school holders, I've made many pushes found loopholes for both my recruiter and I for the GED+ plus program. Can someone enlighten me on what this "T" score is? I complete understand tier 2 qualifications, I have them all! I understand yes, I should've stayed in school however, Florida schooling is much different from New York's. Should my recruiter get a wavier?Last edited by SF Hunter; August 23rd, 2013, 03:46 PM.

It works! It really, really works!
By Sandy in Florida ~
from Rockledge, FL
My sweet 84-year-old neighbor complained that he had to take an ice-pick to clean out his freezer, as it ices up and becomes frozen solid. It was so laborious for him to clean his small freezer. I saw this anti-frost freezer mat in my Miles Kimball catalog and purchased it for him. He tells me every day how it really works, keeping the hard, frozen ice at bay. It is a great help for him, and a blessing to me to be able to find this product, that works so well, and helps him out. Thank you so very much! We love Miles Kimball! Yay!

I'm using this mat in an extra fridge/freezer in my garage and wasn't sure it would even work, however, so far so good. I'm excited to finally find something that works (without me chipping away ice) in my old freezer. Thank you!!

What servers do you play on? I got the game installed, but don't have a clue as to what to do. I'm on the beachfront in front of the wall. What next?
Boy! oh boy! I am more addicted to that game than I ever was addicted to Counter-Strike!! Come on everybody!!!
What servers do you play on? I got the game installed, but don't have a clue as to what to do. I'm on the beachfront in front of the wall. What next?
Ok, joined a game as the Axis, I'm inside the fortress. Hey, this is cool! I just need to learn the weapons. Maybe we could start an LJR clan. ;D
Holy sh**t!! This game rocks!!! Man I can't wait for the full game to come out!
Ok, got the full version (Windows). I need to find some Linux binaries .. quick!
Well crap. They aren't out yet. But I've been playing the single player mode in Winblows. Pretty cool. Been having problems getting the multiplayer mode to work. Hoses up the system so I have to reboot ( I hate freaking Windows).
All right I'm getting pissed. Every time I join a server, within about a minute or so, the game hangs solid and I have to reset the power. Come on Linux binaries!!
I figured out I was getting flooded on port 27960 somehow,which was causing the game to hang. Saw it after rebooting into Slackware and tailing my log file. Continuous hits on port 27960. Finally figured out how to start the game in software rendering mode so the ZoneAlarm popup could come up and I could enable it for the game. Since I did that, No problems.
Never had these kind of problems with the MP test in Linux.
Linux binary for the full release is out. Only has multiplayer functionality right now though.

MGH Hotline 3.18.11
3D mammography
MGH Imaging attains a medical first
IMAGING ADVANCES: Rafferty in the breast tomosynthesis exam room/p>
The MGH celebrated a medical milestone March 7, when the Breast Imaging Division scanned the first U.S. patient using breast tomosynthesis, a revolutionary three-dimensional (3D) mammogram imaging technology.
Pioneered by the division after more than a decade of research, breast tomosynthesis recently received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The scan is performed at the same time as a conventional mammogram using the same scanner, which moves in an arc over the patient rather than remaining stationary. The process, however, produces multiple images, rather than a single two-dimensional frame, allowing radiologists to move back and forth through multiple image slices.
"Like flipping through the pages of a book, the radiologist is now able to look at one page at a time instead of seeing the whole breast reduced to a single frame, as is the case with standard mammography," says Elizabeth Rafferty, MD, director of the MGH Breast Imaging Division.
In addition to improving detection, the new technology can help rule out abnormalities that might appear suspicious in a traditional two-dimensional mammogram. This reduces the need for additional imaging or biopsies.
Breast tomosynthesis is available for annual mammogram screening as well as for diagnostic purposes. For more information, access www.3Dmammo.org.

Buyers' Guide: Wine Coolers
Is there anything worse than reaching for a nice, chilled beer or glass of wine on a warm day only to find it's warm? Yuck!
They may not appear to be a necessity but wine coolers are great if you're a vino connoisseur (or, like us, you just like a glass or six at the end of a busy week). And if you're partial to hosting dinner parties or gatherings a wine cooler is an absolute essential for showing off your impressive stash – and keeping the drinks chilled, of course.
Wine coolers are designed to keep alcoholic – and not alcoholic – beverages chilled and in a convenient place.
Wine cooler size
Will you be using your wine cooler for standard bottles of vino or will you be looking to store other drinks such as cans, magnums or champagne bottles? Consider the measurements before committing to buy.
Wine cooler shape
What shape wine cooler would work best in your kitchen? Perhaps you have space under a counter, in which case a shorter but wider built in wine cooler would be the best model for your needs.
If you're lacking in floor space you may find the best option for you is a wine chiller that's freestanding, tall and thin. Whatever shape you go for you're guaranteed to find your ideal model over on our shopping pages.

Here at Crowdstorm we have everything from cheap wine coolers to deluxe designer models so you're guaranteed to find one to suit your budget.
Wine cooler noise
Some wine coolers can make a slight noise and this can be a hindrance if you live in a small household or have an open plan arrangement. Wine cooler reviews should let you know how your shortlisted model compares with others.
Wine cooler features
Most manufacturers produce wine coolers with a two-zone feature, which means you can keep your red wines at optimum temperature whilst your rose and white vinos chill right next door!
Be sure to check out the storage and shelving within your wine cooler fridge and read some wine cooler reviews before settling on your purchase. These can let you know how others got along with their new wine chiller so you can make sure you're getting the best model for you. Ease of storage and accessibility may be an afterthought but they're factors that are really important – you'll thank us later!
Here's some other features you may find handy:

Wellness is our natural state - it is when there is some imbalance in our lives that we lose the condition of wellness. Often our hectic, fast-paced lifestyles throw us off balance. Our jobs, our families, and all our relationships are frequently strained as we manage all these areas of our lives. It's almost impossible to maintain wellness! Once we become ill almost everyone tries some "natural" or non-traditional treatment or remedy- many people don't know all of the effects of these complementary therapies.

Early years remain a mystery
We know next to nothing about Norris's life before he appeared, fully grown, in the midst of the Memphis political scene. All three census records in which he appears say he was born in Tennessee, as was his father, but no records show whether either was born slave or free. In the 1900 census Norris said his mother was born in Virginia, but in 1910 and 1920 he said she came from Maryland – either location would suggest that she was probably a slave. Present-day Norris descendants were told that Isham Norris was Cherokee rather than black, but census records always identified him as black or mulatto. Even in Oklahoma newspapers, where writers would be likely to take note of a Cherokee connection, he was always referred to as "colored" or "Afro-American." Anecdotal evidence from Memphis resident Alabama A. Howard suggests that Norris's family home was in Fayetteville (Church and Walter, 67).
The 1900 census, the first in which Isham Norris is mentioned, lists October 1851 as his birth date. Calculations based on the detailed age information provided in his death certificate (which lists 1854 as his birth year) indicate that his birth date may in fact have been October 15, 1853. The same document names his father as Daniel Norris. There is a Dan Norris listed in the 1880 and 1900 census records. Born in Alabama in 1825, he was living in Haywood County, Tennessee, with his wife, Pleasant.
Anyone attempting to follow the complex trail of documents regarding Isham F. Norris will face a labyrinthine quest. Not only did Norris move his family to several unexpected locations, but he also used two different first names: Isham and Isaac. He himself tended to use the name Isham on such personal documents as census surveys and his children's birth records; most Tennessee General Assembly accounts called him Isaac; Memphis city directories were more arbitrary in their choices, using both names in an unsystematic manner. His present-day descendants have always known him as Isaac.
Norris's first appearances in Memphis city directories came in the 1870s, when he was listed as a porter (1874, 1876) and a laborer (1878, 1882); none of the directories mentioned that he was elected to the General Assembly during the 1881-1882 term. For the next several years (1883-1892) he was listed as a grocer and dealer of wood and coal, along with a variety of partners. First J. (John) Harris joined him in the wood business. In 1885 he opened a grocery store, where he also sold medicine, at the corner of Calhoun and Hernando streets. A year later he became a partner in a grocery business at 155 Beale Street with Thomas J. Turner (a teacher at the Winchester School), and the Rev. Mr. Taylor Nightingale (pastor of the First Baptist Church, 155 Beale Street, and part owner of the Memphis Free Speech newspaper, which would soon hire Ida B. Wells as a writer and editor). In 1887 he bought a half-page ad in the Memphis City Directory for "I. F. Norris, Dealer in Staple and Fancy Groceries at 141 Beale Street."
Election to Tennessee General Assembly and a losing bid for re-election
In 1880 Norris, along with fellow Republican Thomas F. Cassels, was elected to represent Shelby County in the 42nd Tennessee General Assembly (1881-1882). The two Memphians, along with John W. Boyd (Tipton County) and Thomas A. Sykes (Davidson County) were the first African Americans elected after the end of Sampson Keeble's term in 1874, and they focused much of their legislative energy on trying to overturn Tennessee's first Jim Crow law, Chapter 130 of the Acts of 1875. This bill, which permitted discrimination in admitting people to public events and vehicles, was enacted during the first House session after Keeble left office, and it foreshadowed the voting restrictions that would become law in 1889 and 1890, after the last African American legislators of the century ended their terms in office.
In the 1882 election the Democratic party made a concerted effort to pilfer black votes from the Republicans, placing black candidates on their own ballots for the first time. Among the African Americans convinced to join the Democratic fusionist slate, which supported General William Brimage Bate (1826-1905) as their candidate for governor, were legislative candidates Isham F. Norris (referred to throughout the election period as I. F. Norris) and William F. Price, a Bartlett farmer. The Democratic press praised the two as "men of fine practical sense and good judgment," unsullied by "personal political ambitions," and well able to represent both the interests of their white constituents and "the wants of the 35,000 colored people in Shelby County." The Memphis Daily Appeal produced a daily stream of articles encouraging white voters not to scratch out the names of the black candidates on their ballots. However, the Nashville Banner called Price and Norris "unprincipled Republican Negro characters" who could not speak for the "respectable, honest, fair-minded colored man in the state" because they were "too disreputable to do the dirty work of the Republican administration." As it turned out, many white Democrats were unwilling to vote for a black candidate, however reputable or disreputable he might be. Tennessee Democrats under Bate won a resounding victory, as did other Democrats across the county. The states of New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Indiana, Michigan, and Kansas went Democratic, several for the first time in their history. Every Democratic candidate on the Shelby County Democratic ticket won handily . . . except for Norris and Price, who were decisively defeated. Ironically, the nearly unknown Leon Howard, one of two blacks who had remained on the Republican ticket, was the only African American from Shelby County elected to the Tennessee General Assembly that term, winning more votes than even Thomas F. Cassels, who was much better known. Howard would join John W. Boyd (Tipton County, in his second term), Samuel A. McElwee (Haywood County, in his first of three terms), and David Rivers (Fayette County). Embarrassed Democratic party leaders started a movement to have Norris appointed doorkeeper of the House, but there is no evidence that their plan was successful. The Daily Appeal expressed its annoyance by continuing to add to the guilt trip: after candidate Price wrote a gracious thank-you letter to the newspaper for its efforts on his behalf, an editorial said the letter was "pervaded by a spirit so generous and appreciative that we feel more than ever regretful that the writer, with Norris, was not elected. Mr. Price is a hard-working, intelligent and successful farmer, a representative of the best elements of his race, and we very much regret his defeat." (November 12, 1882)
Isham Norris attended the 1884 Tennessee Convention, at which, as the March 15 New York Globe pointed out, "Most of the prominent colored men of the State were present," including his fellow legislators Thomas F. Cassels (elected chairman of the convention), Samuel A. McElwee (elected secretary), and Thomas A. Sykes. The group issued a number of resolutions on various issues, including jury selection, lynching, and persistent prejudice against blacks.
Marriage to Stella R. Butler
In July 1886 the Huntsville Gazette, which would announce Norris's marriage to Miss Stella R Butler later in the year, commented on his candidacy for a local office in Memphis: "I. F. Norris, the candidate for Circuit Court Clerk, has been in the Legislature, and represents his race with fair intelligence, and will be apt to secure a rather full colored vote."
Stella Butler had moved to Memphis about 1883 with her cousin Ida B. Wells. The two young women boarded together at Mrs. Hill's house on Tate Street. When they first arrived, Stella worked as a seamstress, but by 1886 both women were teaching school.
Ida B. Wells referred in her diary to Wednesday evening, November 23, 1886, as the "day of days, the night of Norris and Stella's marriage." Wells, who was maid of honor, wrote enthusiastically about the event, which may also have been attended by Samuel A. McElwee:
The church was crowded & the house was packed, and the presents were many & beautiful. There were three bridesmaids each, of which I was the first. Everybody said we looked "sweet" & I guess we did. The bride was simply lovely.... Sunday (today) I wrote to Mr. H & then went again to see Miss Shappard where I met Mr. McAlwee [sic]. From there I went to Stella's & remained all the afternoon. Had a pleasant time.
Middle-class African Americans in Memphis took part in what Miriam Decosta-Willis calls a "continual round of visits, teas, parties, and entertainments. In February 1889 the Norrises, along with Ida B. Wells, Samuel A. McElwee, and other "aristocrats of color," attended a banquet at the Live Oak Club. Church & Walter quoted the Memphis Watchman, which described it as
. . . the most successful social occasion that Memphis has witnessed in Colored society. The event was held at the Natatorium Hall. The reception began at 8 p.m., dancing at 9, and refreshments were served at 11 p.m. Elegant cards of invitation tied in satin ribbon were issued, and the menu consisted of turkey, ham, oysters, salads, ice cream, fruits, and wines.
Stella Rose Butler, according to her descendants, was said to have Chickasaw blood, and "she looked like a little squaw with braids down to her waist." (Jack) Her son Carl Love said that she had Jewish blood, as well. Her death records list her mother's name as Butler (no given name is indicated), and her father's as Samuel Levy.
The move to Oklahoma
There were no entries for Isham Norris in the Memphis city directories after 1892. A story naming him as an emigration agent for a railroad company appeared in the Langston City (Oklahoma) Herald in February of that year, and a note in the same newspaper in April reported that he had moved his family there on April 14 and was preparing "to build at once." Church & Walter suggest (p. 66) that "because of a misunderstanding about his grocery store with white citizens, [Norris] learned his life was in danger, and he and his family had to leave Memphis very suddenly, at night, to avoid any confrontation." However, Ida B. Wells' autobiography, Crusade for Justice (Duster), describes a calmer departure:
Hon. I. F. Norris, a former member of the state legislature, whose wife was a relative of mine, suggested that I go out to Oklahoma to find out the truth [see next paragraph] for my paper. He had been closing out his business affairs and was now ready to leave with his family.
The horrific lynching of three African American grocers in Memphis in March 1892 had alarmed local black residents and undoubtedly had much to do with the Norrises' decision to leave the city. Wells began to publish a powerful series of anti-lynching editorials in her newspaper, the Free Speech and Headlight. Among other things, she urged African Americans to leave Tennessee as quickly as possible. Oklahoma was just opening its territory to new settlers, so it became a promising destination for people fleeing Memphis, but stories had come back warning of hostile Indians, drought and starvation, and other hardships. When a mob destroyed Wells's newspaper office on May 27, she agreed to go to Oklahoma with the Norrises in order to determine how safe the new territories were and to write letters back in which she continued to encourage people to move there. After a few months she moved to Chicago, where she embarked on the speaking tour that made her a national figure.
By September 1892 Isham F. Norris had settled his family in Logan County, Oklahoma, and announced his candidacy for county clerk. Although he seems to have been widely expected to win that seat, he lost the election to a white opponent.
Census records show that the Norrises lived in Oklahoma for close to ten years. In fact, it is census records that provide the most significant insights into Norris family life. In 1900 the family was living on a farm, which they owned mortgage-free, in Rock Township, Payne County, Oklahoma; Norris (48) listed his occupation as "farmer." By 1900 he had been married to Stella R. (née Stella Rosa Butler) for 13 years. Stella (33) said that she was born November 1866 in Mississippi, and that by 1900 she had given birth to four children, all still living. She reported that her father was born in Germany and her mother in Mississippi. Although the children were still quite young, the two older boys, both born in Tennessee, were employed as farm laborers: Ira Franklin (12), born November 17, 1887, and Percy Fernandis (10), born July 15, 1889. The other two boys, both born after the move to Oklahoma, were still babies: Carl Love (2), born August 13, 1897, and little Claudius Daniel (10 months), born August 11, 1899.
A newspaper advertisement from November 1892 shows Norris to be a grocer, with a lively trade in liquor. In May 1893 "Hon. I. F. Norris" was part of a board appointed to oversee aid to victims of a destructive tornado that had caused havoc in the region.
An 1892 advertisement in the local newspaper suggests that Norris was not active in the temperance movement, as so many of his colleagues were. The ad for his grocery store reads, in part, "Everything fresh and sold at the lowest prices. If you want a pint, quart or a gallon of the best Kentucky Rye or Corn WHISKY, call on I.F. Norris. The man who drinks my whisky once, will always come to buy it again. – Corner Oklahoma and First Street. Guthrie, Oklahoma."
Locating this record of Isham as a liquor dealer is especially interesting in light of this story, shared by a Norris descendant in 2011:
There was a great story about Isaac's tee-totalness. He forced all his children to be tee-totalers and, with the exception of Wendell, I believe they all were. Isaac was at a wedding in Oklahoma where the guests got into a barrel of rum. They all became quite excited and started to shoot their guns off. The mother of the bride got shot, as did some guests, and that was the end of Isaac's drinking life!
A comment in the Perry (Oklahoma) Journal provides an amusing glimpse into the year the Norris family left Oklahoma: "I. F. Norris, the colored politician of Payne county, has migrated to Honolulu where he expects to reside. We wish he had paid his back subscription to the Sentinel before he left." Family members believe that fears about local vigilante violence may in fact have convinced the Norris family it was time to move on. They did originally intend to move to Hawaii, where their darker skin would have caused them fewer difficulties.
The Norris family settles in Seattle, Washington
News articles beginning in 1905, along with the 1910 census, show that the Norris family had made the surprising decision to move to Seattle, where they quickly became involved in the life of this active community. Other Norris families lived nearby, according to the census, so it was possible Isham's family was joining relatives in the Northwest. Norris (59 by now) owned a transfer (trucking) business called the Southern Transfer Moving Company and also operated a livery stable. He had already paid off the mortgage on their house at 535 Federal Avenue, so he was obviously making a comfortable income. Stella (40) reported in this census that her father had been born in the United States, but she did not name a state. Ira (22) and Percy (20) were working as an auto repairman and a transfer driver, respectively. Carl (12) and Claudius (10) were in school, and the fifth Norris son, Wendell Bryant, was a toddler, born October 29, 1908, after the move to Washington. Also living with the family at that time was a niece, Ellen Harris, age 13, a Tennessee native.
Norris continued to participate in political activities after the move to Seattle. He presided over a Republican voter rally in February 1908 and was elected president of the Afro-American Club for at least two terms. In 1911 he ran for city council, "the only Negro in the race." He was on a committee to entertain "colored sailors in the Pacific Fleet" during World War I, and he helped organize dances, a rodeo, ball games (at least two of the Norris sons played in a Negro baseball league), boxing matches, and street carnivals. He chaired the Colored Roosevelt Memorial Association, a committee raising funds for a monument to Theodore Roosevelt, and he was often seated on the dais at important community events, including the annual Emancipation Day celebrations. He survived a 1915 automobile accident with a jitney bus that injured four people and demolished his "big touring car."
The World War I registration cards of all the Norris sons except Wendell (who was only ten years old in 1918) provide some interesting information regarding their employment and physical descriptions. The three oldest sons were all working in the transfer business. Ira (30), who said he was self-employed, was tall and of medium build, with dark eyes and black hair. Percy (27), a chauffeur with Southern Transfer, was tall and slender with hazel eyes and black hair. The registration card for Carl (21), who was working for I. F. Norris Jr. at the same address as the Southern Transfer Company, listed no physical details except for blue eyes and dark hair. Young Claudius (19) was still a student at Broadway High School. He named his mother as his nearest relative, and was described on the card as tall and stout with dark hair and eyes.
Final years
Two years later, as recorded in the 1920 census, Isham Norris (68) was working as a stockman for the Black Mfg. Co., a remarkable enterprise founded in 1914 by George G. Black to manufacture Black Bear overalls. "Concerned for the health and welfare of his employees," Black rejected the all-too-familiar sweatshop conditions of the traditional garment industry and hired Andrew Willatzen (1876-1974), a student of Frank Lloyd Wright, to design a building that would be functional, attractive, and employee-friendly. [It featured large windows and skylights, a roof garden, and a cafeteria that sold food at cost to the workers. In 1987 the city council designated the building a Seattle Landmark.] It must have been a very comfortable place for Norris to work in his later years. In 1920 Stella (60) still had three big sons to feed: Carl (22) and Claudius (20) were both truck drivers for the transfer company and lived at home; Wendell (11) was still in school. Photos show them to be tall, sturdy young men. Ira F. (32), the oldest Norris son, was working for an auto transfer firm in Seattle; his wife Octavia was a stenographer with the same company. Ira later became sheriff and was active in Republican politics. In 1936 he was a delegate to the Washington Commonwealth Federation state convention, where he was appointed to the legislative committee.
In the 1930 census Stella, now widowed, appeared in two separate households: she was listed in Percy's household, but also in Carl and Wendell's, who were sharing a residence. Carl and Claudius were Seattle policemen; Wendell and Percy were stevedores. (Ira's name was missing from that census.) Stella Rosa Butler Norris died in Seattle on June 10, 1946, almost 20 years after her husband. She was 73 years old. Her death record names her father as Samuel Levy, but gives only the surname Butler for her mother.
According to Washington state death records, Isham F. Norris, son of Daniel Norris, died in Seattle on September 23, 1928, at the age of 74 years, 11 months, and 8 days. After a funeral service conducted by Bonney-Watson Funeral Home, his body was cremated. Having moved far away from the crushing effects of Southern Jim Crow laws, I. F. Norris and his family seem to have lived busy and productive lives in the American Northwest. KBL 11/09/2012

Norwood-Norfolk hockey coach Paul Durant provided his team with a simple game plan and knew that it would take diligent execution to implement the plan in Saturdays NAC Division II game at OFA.
The Icemen methodically carried out every facet of the plan, shift by shift, gaining their second 4-0 win of the season and third straight shutout over the Blue Devils.
The only other NAC game of the day saw Canton outscore Tupper Lake 5-3.
This is just a tough place to win and it is tough to score against their goalie Dave Prudhomme. We stressed all week that we had to control the neutral zone, work hard at cycling the puck low and keeping a man back to slow their breaks, said Durant after the Icemen scored three third period goals in a span of 2:44 in taking over the Division II standings at 3-1.
Our line of Kaden Pickering, Zeb Brown and Austin Cousineau is really quick and they had a big game. But overall it was a nice road win from a team effort. Everyone did what they had to do, our guy in goal Brandon Richards made some good saves early.
Pickering (2 goals), Brown (2 assists) and Cousineau figured in three of the four goals with Pickering netting the game-winner from Zeb Zagrobelny at 6:21 of the first period where Prudomme made 15 of his 47 saves.
Cousineau triggered the third period burst sweeping out of the corner and scoring from Brown at 5:40. Cody Munson followed at 5:40 tipping home a shot from Shane Cryderman on a cycle play started by Tristan Harvey.
Pickering completed the scoring at 6:13 on a rebound in a scramble where Brown and Tyler Fobare drew assists.
Norwood-Norfolk is a very quick and skilled team. We did a good job of hanging in there for two periods and Dave Prudhomme made a lot of tough saves to keep us in the game, said OFA Coach Jon Frederick who have his team (3-4, 3-3 NAC) on the road Wednesday to Tupper Lake for an NAC Division II game.
We needed to score the first goal but we didnt and it is just tough where you arent scoring goals.
Canton 5 - Tupper Lake 3: Matt Mende and Mike Huber scored in the final five minutes of the third period as the Golden Bears (2-0 NAC, 4-4) broke away from a strong effort from the Lumberjacks (0-7-1,0-5-1 NAC) and goaltender TLs Derek Kope (32 saves) to gain an interdivisional win.
The Bears answered two TL rallies in the game.
Tanner Sanderson scored his second goal of the game after TL tallies by Thomas Sexton (1 goal, 1 assist) and Josh Fowler created a 2-2 tie.
The late Bear goals came in response to a Hudson Sparks 3-3 equalizer.
Sanderson scored off two Huber assists in the contest, Cody Moore finished with one goal and one assist and Nate Gibson and Josh Huiatt also passed out assists.
Jake Facey stopped 13 saves for the Bears.

text: Well, not really versus...has anyone compared the two? I've got an HB1 with piezo, and I really love the guitar...love the piezo and the ability to blend the sounds. Part of me looks at the p22 and says "I've got the piezo thing covered." another part says, "solid body...and you know you need another guitar!" I can imagine some differences, but would love to hear from people who've had both in their hands.
