A History of Covent Garden's Hidden Shopping Village
Seven Dials was originally laid out by Thomas Neale, MP in the early 1690's, who cleverly laid out the area in a series of triangles to maximise the number of houses as rentals were charged per foot of frontage and not per square foot of interiors. The then fashion for squares would have meant far less houses and thus less frontage.
The names of the seven streets were chosen with the intention of attracting well to do residents, however some of the names have subsequently been simplified or changed because of duplication with other streets in London. They were originally: Little and Great Earl Street (now Earlham Street), Little and Great White Lyon Street (now Mercer Street), Queen Street (now Shorts Gardens) and Little & Great St. Andrew's Street (now Monmouth Street). Some of the original street signs can still be seen attached to buildings in the area.
The original central monument was designed and erected at the same time. Neale commissioned England's leading stonemason, Edward Pierce, to design and construct the Sundial Pillar in 1693/4 as the centrepiece of his development in Seven Dials. The Pillar was topped by six sundial faces, the seventh 'style' being the column itself. It was regarded as one of London's 'great public ornaments' and the layout and identity of the area revolves around it.
Neale aimed to establish Seven Dials as the most fashionable address in London, following in the footsteps of the successful Covent Garden Piazza development earlier that century. Unfortunately, the area failed to establish itself as Neale hoped and deteriorated into a slum, renowned for its gin shops. At one point each of the seven apexes facing the Monument housed a pub, their cellars and vaults connected in the basement providing handy escape routes should the need arise.
In 1716 John Gray observed that the area was renowned for ballad printers and singers. Dickens, in "Sketches by Boz" wrote "The stranger who finds himself in the Dials for the first time...at the entrance of Seven obscure passages, uncertain which to take, will see enough around him to keep his curiosity awake for no inconsiderable time..."
Later, his son Charles Dickens Junior further noted the poverty into which the area had descended: shops selling second and third hand goods, a bizarre cluster of shops selling "every rarity of pigeon, fowl and rabbit, together with rare Birds such as hawks, owls and parrots, love birds and other species native and foreign".
He noted that children played in the streets together and unsupervised, their parents quite possibly in one of the seven public houses which faced the monument for "it is evident whatever there may be a lack of in the Dials, there is no lack of money for drink".
The 19th century saw an influx of Irish workers into the area, attracted by cheap, although overcrowded lodgings. Henry Mayhew observed in "London Labour & The London Poor", 1861: "In many houses in Monmouth Street there is a system of sub-letting among journeymen. In one room lodged a man and his wife, (a laundress), 4 children and 2 single young men. The woman was actually delivered in this room while the men kept at their work - they never lost an hours work!"
This continuing influx of residents precipitated the development of the surrounding area, Endell Street was followed by Charing Cross Road and Shaftesbury Avenue in the 1880s which gradually eased the pressure on the area and allowed gradual gentification as craftsmen and larger businesses moved in.
However, despite some demolition and redevelopment in the 19th and 20th centuries, many of the original buildings still remain and retain original features.
The Thomas Neal's centre, previously at times, a banana, cucumber and book warehouse retains the name of the original developer, whom Neal Street was also named after. Comyn Ching Triangle, a quiet square lying between Monmouth, Mercer and Shelton Streets was named after a local architectural ironmongery business. There has been a flower market on Earlham Street for many years, an offshoot of the more famous Covent Garden flower market. Neal's Yard, which is home to a number of vegetarian cafes and homeopathic remedy stores, has been the home of alternative medicine, occultism and astrologers since the 17th Century, all of whom were attracted by the sundial and the symbolic star layout of the streets.
More recent milestones in Seven Dials heritage include two blue plaques, which mark two great landmarks in Seven Dials colourful history. Above 13 Monmouth Street, a blue plaque highlights the location where former Beatles manager Brian Esptein ran his successful management company NEMS. The plaque was officially unveiled in September 2010 by Liverpool's darling and entertainer Cilla Black, who was also signed with Brian's company back in the day and became his only female vocalist. In Neal's Yard, Seven Dials' other blue plaque identifies the location of the Animation, Editing and Recording Studios of Monty Python, which read as: "Monty Python, Filmmaker, lived here, 1976-1987".
Certain parts of the Seven Dials have changed little since Thomas Neale designed them in the 17th Century - and the area continues to offer a quirky mix of shops, entertainment and residences.

Morgan High School's varsity baseball team kicked off its 2012 season against the Roy Royals on March 6th. The Trojans donned an all-senior outfield (Landon Carter-LF, Colby Skinner-CF and Josh Duncan-RFf), mostly-junior infield (Braden Brown-1B, Cameron Jarrett-2B, Lantzen Toomer-SS and Cameron Skinner-3B) and battery comprised of senior hurler, Braden Daniel and sophomore catcher, Kade Carrigan). Tanner Hale (junior) was slotted as the DH.
Last season, the Trojans were shut out by the Royals, 1-0. This year, however, the game took a different direction, as the Trojans plated three runs in the top of the first inning. Skinner reached on an error, then Toomer and Jarrett walked with one out. Skinner and Toomer scored on wild pitches, and Jarrett advanced home on a wild pick throw from the Royals catcher. The Royals notched a run in both the second and fourth innings to narrow the Trojans' lead to 3-2.
Daniel scattered five hits and collected five strikeouts, giving up just two runs (one earned) over four innings. The Trojans' ace survived a scare when he was knocked down by a line drive off the bat of the Royals 4-hole hitter in the third inning. The ball hit Daniel in the back of the leg, and after five minutes, he was able to stand up and resume pitching. The Trojans benefited from excellent defense, with Carter and Skinner making difficult catches in the wind and snow and Carrigan routinely blocking balls and throwing out a runner at third.
Jarrett, a junior transfer, collected both of the Trojan hits, including the final blow--a two-run single to left field in the fifth to provide Morgan a 6-2 cushion. At that point, the snow was falling hard and the umpires called the game. The Trojans avenged last year's heartbreaking defeat in decisive fashion by rocking the Royals' world.

Old Homestead Records was founded
in 1971 by John Morris, a pharmacist, deejay, Appalachian migrant, and resident
of Brighton, Michigan who loved traditional old time and bluegrass music. John
started the label initially as a means to issue both old and newly recorded
material by Wade Mainer, a country music star of the 1930s and 1940s who had
relocated to Michigan in 1953 and sang at the time only in churches. After Wade
retired from his day job at General Motors in 1972, he re-entered the musical
world and went on to record many albums, cassettes, and compact discs for Old
Homestead. The earliest two releases bore the name "Homestead," but since there
was another Homestead Record label, John altered the name to "Old Homestead" and
it has so remained for four decades.
addition to Wade Mainer, John soon taped into the rich
source of Appalachian migrant bluegrass musicians who
had moved to Michigan. He also began to record bluegrass
musicians from other regions and soon recorded several
albums by Larry Sparks and his Lonesome Ramblers. Sparks
had recently struck out on his own after having served
an apprenticeship with Ralph Stanley's Clinch Mountain
Boys. Larry went on to become a major figure in
traditional bluegrass music and his early efforts on Old
Homestead played a significant role in his ascension up
the ladder of success. Another major figure in bluegrass
music often recorded by Old Homestead was the late
Charlie Moore who died in 1979, but left a rich legacy
of traditional music in the Old Homestead archive. Of
course, Sparks and Mainer were only two of the many Old
Homestead artists. By the nineties, the Oklahoma-based
duo of Bill Grant and Delia Bell perhaps ranked as his
leading active artists, along with original bluegrass
songwriter-vocalist Emma Smith.
Perhaps even more significant than the bluegrass series
were the numerous recordings of old-time music from
pre-World War II era. Old Homestead's initial foray into
this field began with a reissue of the early recordings
of Molly O'Day and Lynn Davis. Over the next fifteen
years, John not only reissued all of her early
recordings, but two albums she had done in the sixties
as well. Old Homestead eventually did re-issue albums by
such key figures from the early days of country music as
Uncle Dave Macon, Ernest Stoneman, the Callahan
Brothers, Bradley Kincaid, the Delmore Brothers, the
Dixon Brothers, and of course earlier efforts of
Mainer's Mountaineers. Some of the material had
originally been on radio transcriptions-such as Lew
Childre, Charlie Bailey, Bluegrass Roy Freeman, and the
Bailes Brothers-and not generally available to the
record buying public.
Ultimately, Old Homestead started two other labels,
Broadway Intermission for jazz music and Rutabaga for
more contemporary bluegrass. Old Homestead, in addition
to the "90,000 main series" and this "100 reissue
series", had an "80,000 series" for custom recordings
and a "70,000 series" which included both traditional
and contemporary gospel music. A "300" series reissued
material primarily from the 1960's.
No record
label was as important for bluegrass in the midwest as
Old Homestead Records. Still one of the rare
recording companies that puts out country music form the
1920's, the ongoing legacy of Old Homestead is its
dedication to making old time music accessible for the
current and future generations.

White Horse Hill
This section of the page features an image gallery, so if you're using a screen reader you may wish to jump to the main content.
Ancient rolling downland, home to an enigmatic chalk hill figure
The internationally-renowned Bronze-Age Uffington White Horse can be seen for miles away leaping across the head of a dramatic dry valley in the Ridgeway escarpment.
The horse is only part of the unique complex of ancient remains that are found at White Horse Hill and beyond, spreading out across the high chalk downland.
The Manger, a dramatic dry valley has steep rippled sides left from the retreating permafrost during the last Ice Age. These ripples are known as the Giant's Steps.
To the east of the Manger lies Dragon Hill, a small roundish hill with a flattened top. It is said to be the site where St. George, England's patron saint, slew the dragon. The blood poisoned the ground and left a white chalk scar for all to see.
Crowning White Horse Hill is an Iron Age hillfort known as Uffington Castle. A simple design of one rampart and ditch, the castle at 860 feet (262m) above sea level forms the highest point in Oxfordshire, with views for miles around over six counties.
Across the property Burial Mounds can be spotted. These date from the Neolithic period and have been reused up to the Saxon age. The largest contained 47 skeletons and this can be seen as you walk up to the Horse from the car park, if you look carefully.

Superintendent Sherrie Raulerson said Mr. Davis, formerly the assistant superintendent of curriculum and instruction, approached her about filling the vacancy left by Jamie Johnson, who took the job last summer only to abruptly resign from it citing personal reasons in mid-September.
"He's a good leader and has had success in the past at the middle school and the district level," said the superintendent, who announced the news to Keller faculty and staff on September 29 to a round of applause.
She said the assistant superintendent of curriculum and instruction position will remain vacant and other district personnel will pick up those responsibilities as needed.
"We'll just have to work overtime," said Mrs. Raulerson, adding that it will be challenging, "but I felt like Keller needed him."
The superintendent described Mr. Davis as someone who is well known and trusted by Keller's faculty and that he leads by example.
Mr. Davis has been an assistant superintendent since 2010. Before that he served as the middle school's principal for seven years and an assistant principal and dean at the school for the seven years prior.
He joined the district in 1987 as a teacher's aide before becoming a middle school teacher two years later.
Mr. Davis holds a bachelor's degree in business management and finance from Brigham Young University and a master's degree in educational leadership from Florida A&M.

-- Sunday marks what would have been late Doors frontman Jim Morrison's 70th birthday. It's difficult to gauge just how much the iconic singer has influenced music and popular culture, thanks to his charismatic and edgy persona, his powerful vocal style, his exploration of dark themes and his trail-blazing talent for combining poetry with rock music.
Morrison had a fascination with pushing social and cultural boundaries that, unfortunately, coincided with a penchant for excess that included a serious alcohol dependency. He died of an apparent heart attack in July 1971 at the age of 27.
This past Thursday in Los Angeles following a special event dubbed "An Evening with The Doors," the group's surviving members, drummer John Densmore and guitarist Robby Krieger, chatted with Rolling Stone about their late band mate.
Asked how he thought Morrison might've celebrated his 70th birthday, Krieger said, "I'm sure by this time he would want to forget about his birthday. He'd want to forget how old he was."
Densmore, meanwhile, said that, had he lived, Morrison undoubtedly would have continued to make music with The Doors.
"He loved the blues," the drummer declared. "We would've made more blues, more 'L.A. Woman.'"
The "Evening with The Doors" event marked the first time Krieger and Densmore have amicably appeared together in public in many years. Their rift, of course, stemmed from the much publicized legal battle Densmore fought with Krieger and late Doors keyboardist Ray Manzarek's over use of the band's name and music.
In addition to taking part in a planned Q&A session at the event, the two band mates delivered a surprise four-song performance that included renditions of the Doors classics "People Are Strange" and "Love Me Two Times." It was the first time they'd played together live in more than 15 years.
Commenting about the performance, Densmore told Rolling Stone, "I had a lot of fun. I would do this again a few times, maybe."
Krieger also said he'd be interested in playing again with his old band mate, while noting, "If we did this again, it would be for some charity."
Robby added that he and John still are hoping to organize a tribute show for Manzarek -- who died this past May -- that would take place on February 12, the day Ray would have turned 75.

Landlord, tenant in television dispute
A $15,000 settlement was the outcome in a matter against a landlord who has been accused of damaging several television sets belonging to his former tenant.
Ruel Rainford, who has been charged with malicious destruction property, told the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court, on Thursday, that he has paid for the damage.
No evidence was offered in the matter and Rainford was told by the court that the matter was dismissed.
It is alleged that Rainford threw seven TV sets belonging to the complainant down a staircase during a dispute.
Rainford said that he didn't know that the TV sets were in good working condition.
"Your Honour, I spoke to him on several occasions and told him that I was gonna throw the TV sets away and he said go ahead. I gave him $15000 as settlement, but I didn't know that the items were good," the accused said.
" I got notice in May and he said I should remove the TV sets and I didn't move them. Your Honour, he threw them down the stairs," the complainant told the court.
The complainant wanted more money for the damage to his electronics, however the RM said that the TV sets were not brand new. <

Flying from Karlsruhe
Book flights from Karlsruhe with airberlin and fly from Baden Airpark (FKB), which is located 35 kilometers southwest of the city.
Baden Airpark Information
Baden Airpark is the second largest airport in the region, servicing over a million passengers each year. While waiting for flights, passengers can use the business facilities to work, or take a break and enjoy the golf course or ice skating rink in the recreation center.
This airport has one terminal and 20 check-in counters to make the departure process as streamlined as possible. Due to the design of the airport, passengers are shuttled to their flights by bus.
Getting to the Airport in Karlsruhe
The best way to use public transportation to make your flight is to take the bus to Baden Airpark, with a travel time of approximately 30 to 45 minutes. If you want to take a train to Baden Airpark, you will need to transfer to a bus at Baden-Baden train station. Many travelers, especially those with a lot of luggage, choose to hire a car or take a taxi to Baden Airpark, which takes approximately 40 minutes.
Arriving in Munich
Find flight deals to Munich with airberlin and experience a city that welcomes the future while still remembering its past. Walk the streets among iconic historical buildings and charming local shops to get a taste of the city's inviting atmosphere.
First Time in Munich
Bicycle tours are a great way to get a feel for the city the first time you travel to Munich. Ride through winding medieval streets and sunny plazas, and admire the architecture that has stood there for centuries. Take a break along the way for refreshments at one of the cafes or beer gardens.
Your Munich
Many tourists book tickets to Munich to take part in Oktoberfest, the annual beer festival that runs between September and October. Oktoberfest offers carnival rides, ceremonial parades, and of course plenty of local brews to sample.
Making the Most of Your Munich Holiday
A city at the foot of the Alps, Munich is prone to rainfall and colder winters. The city stays cool from December through March, but will only see snowfall for a couple of weeks.

|Amrinone, a phosphodiesterase III inhibitor, and arachidonic acid metabolism in humans.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 9890409 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Amrinone-a phosphodiesterase III inhibitor-is used in the treatment of acute heart failure. In addition to its hemodynamic effects, amrinone has been shown to inhibit thromboxane synthesis in vitro. We investigated the effects of amrinone on thromboxane, prostaglandin, and leukotriene synthesis in humans. Eight healthy male volunteers took part in this single-blind study in which either amrinone (a 1.5-mg/kg bolus in 30 min and after that 10 microg/kg/min for 1 h 30 min) or placebo (0.9% NaCl) were infused. Amrinone infusion increased systolic blood pressure but had no significant effect on diastolic blood pressure or heart rate. Amrinone did not modulate thromboxane B2 synthesis stimulated by either spontaneous clotting or calcium-ionophore A23187 in whole blood. Amrinone had no effects on prostaglandin E2 or leukotriene E4 production in A23187-stimulated whole blood, nor did it affect urinary excretion of 11-dehydrothromboxane B2 or 2,3-dinor-6-keto-prostaglandin F1alpha, the index metabolites of thromboxane A2 and prostacyclin productions, respectively. We conclude that amrinone has no effects on eicosanoid production in humans at the dose level used in this study, and that the hemodynamic effects noticed are not mediated via cyclooxygenase or lipoxygenase products of arachidonic acid metabolism.

The Bellows of My ThroatDec 4th, 2011 Posted in Quotes | Comments Off
Everything we do mixes
in the ground of the self.
Slowly, slowly, I tended
the bellows of my throat,
and the light inside grew
and filtered out through
the dark, so that within
even it, I saw the truth.
-from Naked Song by Lalla
A Living PrayerNov 19th, 2011 Posted in Prayer | Comments Off
May your brilliance be reflected in the eyes of all you meet.
May the blessings of Life be felt in thought, word and deed.
May you drink deeply from Wisdom's cup.
May you see the gift in every challenge, the sacred in every step.
May laughter roll your belly as you delight in Creation's mystery.
May you breathe freely, Love deeply, rejoice wildly and
create passionately.
May you be at peace, whether your bowl be empty or full.
May the Light of Love shine brightly upon your soul.
May you listen deeply within, faithfully heeding the guidance of Spirit.
May you wake to dream each day, remembering NOW is all there IS.
May you feel the energy of co-creation flowing through each hand.
May you remember to honor and give thanks for our country!
May you experience the bliss of a well-lived day…
…forgiving ignorance, releasing regret, guilt or shame.
May you be authentic, and to your own Self be true.
May you remember each person makes a difference…
…especially YOU!
God Bless us One and All.

Very pretty
A very pretty blouse. I bought it for a special occasion. Wish it would come in white, instead of ivory, but it was fine. Looked good on. Fit fine.
Round Rock. Texas
Well-made and fits well
Blouse was well-made, fit well and was sized right. The only issue I had with it was that the pink champagne was much too blah. I was hoping it would be more pink than it was. It was like a pinkish beige.
Miami, FL
Just what I wanted
I was looking for a lace top that looked good and was a reasonable price. I bought a blue and ivory one and I am well pleased with the quality and the fit
Sandy, Utah
Works even for a funny shape
I have broad shoulders and no neck so I have sent many tops back to many stores. This one works! There is enough room so that I don't feel like the Hulk. I bought two colors and love them both.
Rochester, NY
Great value
I'm ever disappointed with my Chadwick purchases. This blouse was no exception. The fit was perfect and the color gorgeous.
San Antonio, Texas
Beautiful top
The top fits beautifully and looks great! Love it!
Southern Belle
Milledgeville, GA
Love this top!
I love this top! It is so soft and comfortable. I also love the length, and the fit is perfect. Be careful if you're wearing jewelry (watches/rings/bracelets), because the lace gets snagged easily. Other than that, it's wonderful!
Dayton, OH
Fabulous in every way!
This top exceeded even my picky perfectionist preferences. The size is a perfect fit and the quality is excellent. It looks like it's more expensive than it actually is. Very elegant, classy and five star! I'm ordering another one right now.
Bel Air MD
The top is beautiful and fits great. I've paired it with pants and a skirt and both look wonderful.
Scottsdale, AZ

Great under suit jackets. Fits true to size. I bought medium which is what I usually buy in shirts. Washes well, line dry. Received many compliments.
I ordered all the colors and was very impresses. they felt and looked like high dollar blouses. they fit and looked awesome on this plus size gal. also, they were so soft to the touch and to your skin.

Beautiful lace top. Love the color and the fit.
Grants Pass Oregon
Classy Lace Top
I bought all colors to wear with my office suits. Material is soft, comfortable, cool on the skin. Tops have stretch and covers the tummy and hips with no binding or tightness. Long and smooth around the waist and hips. I bought petite small for 34 Chest. Fits perfect. I wash on gentle cycle with Woolite and hang to dry. I recommend this Lace Top.
New Orleans, LA
Versatile Lace Top
Loved the top! Ordered it in Navy but I will also order the ivory!
Staunton, VA
I ordered the ivory. I would prefer it in white, this is definitely ivory. Still it fits beautifully, the length is great..not quite as long as it looks in the picture. It is dressy enough to wear with a skirt or slacks but still cute with jeans. Very versatile. It is kind of stretchy, so it is flattering without being tight.I wanted to try the "lace trend" and not spend too much. Glad I ordered this top.

text: Dharma Yoga Studio is a beautiful, homegrown yoga school in the heart of Miami's historic Coconut Grove that began as a mere dream of two local yoga teachers, both women. We opened our doors in January of 2010 with just a dozen classes a week, and we've become a quaint little enclave, celebrated for many things besides our talented team of 20 teachers. The warmth and passion which kindled our beginnings can be felt the moment you step inside. Not only do we offer 38 classes a week at our boutique studio on lively Commodore Plaza, we also host three weekly outdoor classes, which are free to the public, and held under the swaying palms off the bay in Peacock Park. Everyone is welcome: we offer classes for students of all ages and backgrounds, and every weekend we host compelling events including classes with live music (Dharma After Dark) on select evenings. Our progressive schedule includes classes that range from the traditional to the eclectic, from challenging, fast-paced yoga to therapeutic and gentle-stretchy yoga, from pre-natal and "Baby & Me" classes to yoga for athletes. We invite the community at large to experience the far-reaching powers of yoga, by offering weekly classes to support a different charity each month, and by hosting free "chair yoga" classes twice a week, for seniors and the mobility-impaired. Dharma Studio is the Grove's friendly neighborhood yoga sanctuary, where you are always home.

The interactive meeting will be held in Grand Haven Central Park at 7 p.m. Monday. After talking about the life and history of Adams, Chrystal said he will answer any questions people have on historical or contemporary subjects.
"So if you wanted to ask John Adams about the bad economy, I would make a real attempt to answer that question as John Adams," Chrystal said. "I would anchor it in something that he did or knew or said, but then I would talk about the event today."
The meeting is a part of the "John Adams Unbound" exhibit at Loutit District Library, which runs June 27 – Aug. 5. The American Library Association Public Programs Office and the Boston Public Library organized the exhibit, which is traveling to 20 libraries throughout the country. Loutit is the only library in Michigan to display it.
"It says that we're top notch," said Larry Halverson, public relations for the library. "We're really one of the elite libraries in the country to get this."
The exhibit, which is on display on the main floor of Loutit, was made possible through a $2,500 grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities. Every library to receive the grant and exhibit is required to present at least two adult programs and two children's programs. Loutit is presenting 14 throughout the summer.
"We had such a great community response from all segments of the community," Loutit Library Director John Martin said. "So we felt it was important that we do all these different types of programs."
Chrystal was booked separately from the exhibit, as are all of the programs. Halverson said the entire exhibit and programs total about $18,000. He said the library used some of its own funds, along with an $8,000 grant from the Grand Haven Area Community Foundation and a $4,000 grant from the Hauenstein Center for Presidential Studies.
Beginning on Monday, a town crier will walk up and down Washington Avenue at 6 p.m. every weekday throughout the exhibit. He will proclaim John Adams Unbound events as well as the "news of the day," which Halverson said library officials researched to have period-correct news.
Historian, re-enactor
Also on Monday, historian and re-enactor Ernie Marvin will present "Living in Grand Haven from 1735 to 1826," at 10 a.m. in Loutit's program room A, where he will explore what the city was like during Adams' lifetime.
Colonial Tea
Historical Interpreter Wendy VanWoerkom of Norton Shores will host "Colonial Tea with John Adams" at 2 p.m. on Monday in the library's program room A.
Residents who wanted to meet Adams (Chrystal) over tea were required to sign up for the event. There is currently a waiting list, Halverson said.
VanWoerkom said after a period-accurate meet and greet, she will talk about the history of the refreshments.
"Coffee and tea and chocolate, they had a lot of other things attached to them besides just the fact that they're food," VanWoerkom said. "I think people are fascinated by it, and why not know the history of a beverage, of a food or where things come from? I think it satisfies the curiosity that people have about it."
Halverson said they have spent countless hours researching every detail to ensure they are entirely accurate. The food and drink served at the colonial tea comes from recipes they received from George Washington's home at Mount Vernon.
"The library is full of information, and we want it to be as truthful and as accurate as what we can make it," Halverson said. "We love to go back and re-visit how we got to be to where we are today."
In keeping with this accuracy, there will be no sound system at the town meeting and Chrystal will be standing on crates reflective of the time period.
Hauenstein Center director presentation
Also next week, Gleaves Whitney, executive director for the Hauenstein Center for Presidential Studies, will present "John Adams' View of Fame" at 7 p.m. Thursday at Loutit.
Chrystal said it is important not to overlook what history has given us.
"I believe the study of history makes us a lot smarter in how we deal with the present and the future," he said.
Chrystal, who has three master's degrees in education, divinity and American history, said he has "spent years and years reading everything that I can."
He said he has written articles and books on historical themes, and currently has four in the works. He became involved in historical interpretations about 20 years ago.
"I think for a lot of people it's a lot more interesting than reading a book," Chrystal said. "Frankly a lot of people will never read a book about him. This is the way they're going to get to know more about John Adams than they would have otherwise ever known."

Changing The Face Of Storage
Oct 21 2015
3:00 pm
60 mins
Peter McCallum and Steve Ahlgrim
Join Pete McCallum and Steve Algrhim, long-time infrastructure architects, for a frank discussion on the changing face of storage networking and design. "Storage networking" implies both the interconnected nature of storage resources and their need to communicate over varied distances and topologies. Designing a storage network for a datacenter is a concept usually reserved for greenfield deployments. This is extremely rare as most datacenters, if not all, are already running well-established storage environments and network infrastructures.
In this session, Pete and Steve will run through their past experiences and customer stories to help define the present and future state of storage and the role it plays in infrastructure design. Topics will range from:
- greenfield versus brownfield deployment strategies
- how disaster recovery has evolved into business continuity
- how the software application layer is changing how we perceive storage

Data Preparation For Fast Insights Right From the Start
Oct 8 2015
64 mins
Dr. Kirk Borne, Principal Data Scientist, Strategic Innovation Group, Booz Allen Hamilton
Data preparation is occasionally referred to as data plumbing, suggesting that it is dirty grunge work that is an unglamorous necessity. We will see how this point of view misses entirely the discovery potential, value, and "thrill of the chase" that data preparation can offer. Data prep includes the all important first step in any analytics project: "Know Thy Data" (which is one of the fundamental principles of data science). We discuss data profiling, data transformations and normalization, feature selection and engineering, and more data prep approaches that empower you to begin learning from your data right out of the "starting gate" on your analytics project. Learning from Data (i.e., data science) doesn't begin after data prep, but right from the start.

In the third episode of HBO's Hard Knocks featuring the Cincinnati Bengals' 2013 camp, we heard linebacker James Harrison's on-camera reasoning on why Hard Knocks doesn't deserve to be there.
That's exactly when Hard Knocks decided to show the "blood, sweat and (no) tears" that Harrison puts into being a scary, successful NFL defensive player.
MORE: Rookies key to playoff push | Preseason All-Pro team | Top 32 Fantasy sleepers
We expected to see Harrison power through his weightlifting session with his arms as big as thighs. But it was much better. Harrison goes through acupuncture twice a week—shattering the Curtis Martin NFL record of 232 " needles." This proves Harrison is even a little tougher than we thought. Once Harrison wanted and hit 300 needles, he set a mark none of his teammates could bear.
The acupuncturist's response? "He's one of a kind."
You're not kidding.
A Burfict relationship
The Bengals ignored all the on- and off-field flags to sign linebacker Vontaze Burfict in 2012 as an undrafted free agent. They were rewarded with an outstanding rookie season and Burfict is bound for bigger things. We are reminded that wouldn't have been possible without the "tough love" of defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer. While Burfict is still fighting to earn Zimmer's respect, Zimmer says he's always "got his back." That's a pretty ideal NFL coach.
Rookies got other game
During the rookie show, we see the kids show off some acting skills through their various skits. Defensive end Margus Hunt has a little R-rated fun with his version of coaches' chalk, but it's wide receiver Roy Roundtree who steals the scene with a mockery of metrosexual defensive back Taylor Mays.
Maybin's last chance?
Aaron Maybin was eventually released by the Bengals in camp—we see the not-so dramatic cut to close the episode but before that, we learn the NFL first-round bust also is intense about his side hobby (and talent): painting. After the Bills' No. 11 overall pick in 2009 couldn't stick with his third team, let's hope he still sticks with the canvas.

TOKYO (MarketWatch) -- Already suffering from weak profits, steel-makers in Asia have their work cut out for them as price negotiations with the major miners look set to result in a hefty hike to iron-ore costs.
"The Big Three global iron-ore miners -- Brazil's Vale and Anglo-Australians BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto -- are seemingly making money hand over fist," energy and metals information provider Platts said in an analysis report issued late last week.
But the steel mills, specifically those in top producer China, "are lamenting leaner profits for 2009, and even losses for several of them," Platts said.
'The Big Three global iron ore miners -- Brazil's Vale and Anglo-Australians BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto -- are seemingly making money hand over fist.'
Media reports last week said Chinese mills may agree to a 40% rise in iron-ore prices from major miners. A mining executive familiar with the annual contract talks told Platts that China's steel makers indicated a willingness to pay to the provisional hike and an agreement had been reached with at least one of the iron-ore producers.
Hu Kai, a senior analyst with the Chinese steel industry research house UC361, told Dow Jones Newswires on Saturday that BHP Billiton Ltd. BHP, +3.30% (BHP) had reached an interim price deal with some Chinese steel mills for a 40% price increase over 2009-2010 iron-ore benchmark prices.
But Kai emphasized that the deals were short-term contracts and not a final agreement on the 2010-2011 benchmark price, the report said, and negotiations on annual benchmark pricing terms continue between mining companies and steel producers in South Korea and Japan.
Chinese steel mills produce more than a third of the world's steel, and that makes the country the biggest consumer of iron ore on the planet, according to Platts.
Given that, negotiations pitting China Iron & Steel Association and Baosteel Group Corp., which jointly lead the discussions for China, against key miners such as Rio Tinto Ltd. (RIO) RIO, +7.48% BHP Billiton and Vale SA VALE, +6.78% are closely watched by the industry.
Among the big miners, Rio Tinto fell 1.9% and BHP Billiton lost 0.8% in Monday afternoon in Sydney.
Steel makers weren't faring any better. Australia's BlueScope Steel Ltd. (BSL) dropped 3.1%. Japan's JFE Holdings Inc. (5411) JFEEF, -1.06% was 0.8% lower, Nippon Steel Corp. (5401) NISTF, +4.83% fell 0.9% and Kobe Steel Ltd. (5406) KBSTF, -8.38% lost 0.6%.
Weakness among the miners and steel makers coincided with broader market weakness in Asia, although Hong Kong, China, South Korea and several other markets were closed for the Lunar New Year holiday.
The Nikkei 225 edged 0.3% lower, and Australia's A&P ASX/200 and New Zealand's NZSX 50 each fell 0.5%.
Hikes hurt
The expected hike in prices the world's steel makers will pay for iron ore to build their products may be even worse than it seems.
A 40% increase over the 2009-2010 benchmark price means that Australian iron-ore fines would be $84 per dry metric ton, free on board Australia, for 62% iron, while from Brazil they would be $83 FOB Ponta da Madeira for 66% Carajas iron-ore fines, according to Platts.
