Some may wonder why I write this column under the heading "Coogan's Bluff." It stems from a family connection to one of my relatives who at one time actually owned that piece of real estate in New York City.
That was my great-great-great uncle James J. Coogan. Born just about a century before I was, the life and career of this member of my extended family was pretty much unknown to me until I was well into middle age. The Coogan family split into two branches after arriving from Ireland in the mid 19th century. My father's side settled in Boston. The other branch ended up in New York City and by the second generation there wasn't much contact between the two offshoots. I do, however, remember hearing references around the dinner table about the well-to-do New York Coogans.
Great uncle James was born in 1845. There is some dispute as to whether he was born in Ireland or in New York City. Regardless, he spent virtually all his 70 years in New York, rising to great wealth and political influence in that thriving center of commerce. In the years after the Civil War, Uncle James operated a furniture business at 123 Bowery St. Coogan Brothers became a major mercantile enterprise in that section of New York. The 1880 census recorded the business as "upholstering," but the company also made, refurbished and sold furniture, employing over 20 workmen. The lure of "easy terms" attracted many buyers and Coogan Brothers did very well.
Uncle James probably would have remained a solid member of the growing middle class – moderately wealthy and respected – had he not married 22-year-old Harriet Gardiner Lynch in 1883. She was one of the Gardiners of Gardiner's Island. The Lynch side of her family was one of the largest landowners in Manhattan. Included in the family holdings was a piece of property on Hamilton Heights, a long valley edged on the west by a high rock outcropping that eventually became known as Coogan's Bluff. Later, with the building of the Polo Grounds, the property became the home of the New York Giants baseball team. With his new wealth, Uncle James moved to a brownstone at 564 Fifth Ave/ and became more active in city politics. In 1886 he considered himself a worthy candidate for mayor. He worked to secure the nomination of the Central Labor Union party but lost out to "single taxer" Henry George. In the three way mayoral race, George and a young Teddy Roosevelt were beaten by Democrat Abram Hewitt.
Two years later in 1888 Uncle James again made a bid for the mayor's office. This time he was nominated by the United Labor Party and ran as one of seven candidates against Tammany Hall's candidate, Hugh Grant. On the day before the election, a group opposed to Uncle James' candidacy removed all of his campaign signs in the city. Grant won the mayor's office. Uncle James got 10,000 votes – less than 4 percent – and ruefully reflected that each vote cost him about $10.00. Out of spite, Mayor Grant later renamed Coogan Avenue as Bradhurst Avenue, effectively erasing his foe from the map.
In 1899 Uncle James finally succeeded in winning an election and it was as President of the Borough of Manhattan. This time he had the backing of Tammany Hall. He was the first to hold this office. It was never revealed how much each individual vote cost his for that race. When he died in 1915, his funeral was held at St. Patrick's Cathedral presided over by Cardinal John Farley. Among his pallbearers was United State Senator James J. O'Gorman along with other important city dignitaries.

I made a prototype shelter by using 0.6 oz. cuben fiber. dimension:8.6' wide x 5' depth x 4.3' tall shape:pyramidal shape with catenary cutit's only 6 oz.(170g) without stakes, extra guy-line and pole. it's very easy one hiking pole and at least 4 stakes to pitch.

Looks an awful lot like an MLD DuoMid.
Wow, that looks great. I'm curious as to how you have a final weight so much lower then the MLD DuoMid. You both use the same material and have almost the same dimensions (I think yours is a bit shorter)...what are the differences. It looks very well made.
Edited by Steve_Evans on 11/15/2009 07:22:21 MST.
Chris,Ron uses black reinforcement at the top...And I don't see door tie-outs.Otherwise, "Imitation is the best form of flattery".But, being shorter, I wonder why it isn't seamed like a SpeedMid?
Edited by greg23 on 11/15/2009 07:35:29 MST.
It looks so nice to me since I found my sil MLD duomid a little too long. The workmanship looks excellent. Furthermore, the weight is amazing. Besides, how did you reinforce at the top?
Edited by syoten on 11/15/2009 09:04:51 MST.
Nice ... VERY nice!A couple questions:1) zipper size? (#3, #5, ??)2) how much catenary deflection when cutting the sloped edges?3) did you sew, glue or tape the seams? or some combination of those?
Thank you for all comments.^^As all of you noticed, by natural consequences, it looks like DuoMid. But I don't have the pattern and don't have a Duomid. Furthermore, I've never seen DuoMid itself in real. And It seems to have different cutting and seam line compare to DuoMid. Also upper vent window is different.As so many dome tents unavoidably oriented same direction of shape and design, it is unavoidable to make mono-pole shelter as most primitive shape and it is a result of most efficiency cutting from this expensive fabric.I have no idea why mine is lighter than DuoMid. And I don't know how much does the DuoMid weight. I'm using Dyneema x gridstop and heavy PVC coated fabric for reinforcement at peak and every tie outs. Zipper size is #3. Catenary deflection is about 1.6". I lightly glued and then sewed all seams.
Wow, very nice and impressive. You should go into business making those... "XUL Cuben pyramid tent"
Impressive! Can I buy one?Alternatively, this shelter was born to inspire a MYOG article at backpackinglight.com!Stargazer
Jotaro very nice job! The weight is mind blowing. This has me thinking I may want to try a catenary cut for a similar design I am planning.
Wow, what beautiful workmanship! And a beautiful taut pitch to it.
What CUBEN FIBER did you use, not the weight but the CUBIC TECH trade name?I used ct2k.08 (.74oz, MLD's .6) and made a mid a little longer, but shorter and narrower than yours. I used sil for the tie-out reinforcements and 1.9 for the peak and a #zipper. All are as light or lighter than you used but my weight was 8oz, however i did add line-locs to the 6 tie-outs, so subtract 1 ounce, but still heavier.I am thinking you may have the one step lighter CUBEN fabric.-Tim
Thank you for all comments.^^I appreciate for all.well, if somebody want to get my products, I'm ready to sell.now I'm preparing web shop to start to sell my products including this cuben shelter.I choose CT0.6K.08. also i put 6 linelocs.
According to Cubic Tech CT0.6K.08 is .45 oz and not .6 oz. That explains the weight.
I made a mistake. I'm living in metric system.^^CT0.6K.08 is 15.8g/sqm nearly equal to 0.56oz/sqm.So I wrote 0.6oz.(/sqm) . It is about 0.45 oz./sqydthanks.
Edited by jotaro on 11/16/2009 04:55:33 MST.
I really want to buy one.But I still concern about the strength of 0.45 oz./sqyd cuben which I haven't see or touch itself. According to specification of MLD speed tarp, .60 cuben is almost twice as strong as .45 one, and other descriptions sounds it really needs special care. Thus, I'm looking foward to seeing any review of this 6 oz. two persons pyramid.I can't wait to see your web shop!
that explains the awesomely light weight. Great job by the way. I love gear that is insanely light, its fun.-Tim
reference data
how do you feel about the durability of the .47oz stuff you used? The heavier .75 i feel will be stronger than silnylon and should last a long time. That said the weight savings that can be achieved with the lighter fabric is fantastic and i hope to hear some reports on long term durability.the stuff MLD is calling their .45 is actually the .57 stuff and their .6 is the .75. I am not sure what others are using and calling .6, but OWARE recently got some of the .75 on the big order that was made for the brown fabric. There are a few people who have used the .57 stuff for large mid and now you are using even lighter material. I am hoping to hear great things about the durability.I have been using the .33 (one step down from the .47) for quilts and it is much too fragile for shelter use. I am excited to see if the only slightly heavier .47 is robust enough for this purpose.Keep us posted on your site, very exciting!-Tim
Tim,If people do call the .57 stuff .45 and .75 stuff .60. I'm wondering if it is possible that the situation is similiar to silnylon. For example, the 1.4oz/sq.yd. one is 1.1oz/sq.yd. before silicone impregated.Anyway, I think calling a .75 stuff .60 is misleading. It makes people feel that the stuff is lighter than it really is, and for me I just believed the assertion that the spectalite.60 is Less than half the weight of Silnylon described in MLD's fabric mojo.Zpacks also has .60 oz/sq.yd. cuben. Does anyone has idea how much it really weighs?I'm still not sure the .60 stuff used by MLD is .75 stuff or not. Hope Ron can answer this question.

Wrangells' Trails, Resources Protected From Illegal ATV Use
Wrangell-St. Elias
ATV damage on trails off the Nabesna Road going to Copper and Tanada lakes.

Settlement ensures Park Service will regulate recreational vehicle use
The National Parks Conservation Association (NPCA), Alaska Center for the Environment, and The Wilderness Society announced a settlement in 2007 with the National Park Service on litigation filed the previous summer challenging illegal all-terrain vehicle (ATV) use on nine trails in Wrangell-St. Elias National Park & Preserve. The lawsuit sought to protect the park from unregulated recreational ATV use, which is damaging tundra ecosystems, including wildlife habitat and water quality. Anchorage-based public interest environmental law firm Trustees for Alaska provided legal representation.
"Wrangell-St. Elias is one of the world's premier wilderness parks, and today we are starting the journey to heal some serious wounds to the land caused by recreational ATV riding," said NPCA Alaska Regional Director Jim Stratton. "We are pleased that the National Park Service saw the merits of our legal challenge and chose to settle this case in a manner that protects park resources."
The settlement requires the National Park Service to prepare an environmental impact statement (EIS) evaluating the impacts of recreational ATV use on park resources. Should that EIS determine that recreational ATV riding can continue, then the settlement further requires the Park Service to make a written finding on the compatibility of ATV use with the purposes for which Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve was established.
"ATV enjoyment is appropriate in many places in Alaska, however, unregulated recreational riding is not compatible with most people's view of a national park," said Randy Virgin, executive director of Alaska Center for the Environment. "We look forward to working with the National Park Service to carefully evaluate recreational ATV use to determine what, if any, ATV use can be permitted in the future."
Pending completion of the EIS within four years, six of the nine trails contested by the litigation will remain open for permitted recreational ATV use, and use of the three most damaged trails, the Copper Lake, Tanada Lake and Suslota Lake, will be restricted. On these three trails, extensive damage includes mud holes up to several hundred yards wide and several miles long, created when the permafrost melted. These trails will only be opened for recreational riding in the Fall after the Park Service has determined that the ground has frozen sufficiently to a level of six inches, and can support the weight of an ATV.
Park Service rules on ATV use allow for only limited riding under specific circumstances, and only when such riding does not impact the purposes for which the park was created. The Park Service had not conducted the necessary analysis required to ensure that Wrangells remains healthy if ATV riding is permitted, and this litigation addressed that.
"The National Park Service had ignored existing laws and regulations designed to protect park resources and values for present and future generations," said Mike Steeves, the plaintiffs' attorney from Trustees for Alaska. "We are pleased this lawsuit was successful and we think it will compel the Park Service to follow its own management rules."
Wrangell-St. Elias National Park, referred to as the mountain kingdom of North America, is the largest unit in the National Park System. The park includes the continent's largest assemblage of glaciers and the greatest collection of peaks, above 16,000 feet, as well as Mount St. Elias, the second highest peak in the United States.
The lawsuit and the settlement do not restrict access to the park by local subsistence users living in resident zone communities around Wrangells.
The nine impacted trails in Wrangells are: Suslota Lake, Tanada Lake, Caribou Creek, Lost Lake, Trail Creek, Reeve Field, Bommerang Lake, Soda Lake, and Copper Lake.

Frankel and Sir Henry Cecil form the perfect partnership
Great champions triumph in adversity. In wonder horse Frankel and his remarkable trainer Sir Henry Cecil, there is a perfect example.
When the cheers rang out around Ascot's parade ring as the colt's unbeaten career ended on a rapturous winning note, they were for Cecil as much as his brilliant colt.
Frankel's youthful exuberance may contrast starkly with his ageing master's ailing health, yet the pair have formed a beautiful, victorious partnership.
A 14th consecutive triumph, in the Champion Stakes, bookended their heartwarming tale. It was little surprise people were close to tears in the winner's enclosure.
Dubbed the equine Usain Bolt, Frankel bore the hallmarks of the champion sprinter as he started slowly, made smooth progress and showed enough class to beat high-quality opponents.
He was left a few lengths adrift coming out of the stalls and ran on the most gruelling ground of his career against a mud-loving specialist in Cirrus Des Aigles, but still emerged the victor.
Cecil, who has battled stomach cancer for six years, acknowledged the horse had helped him through the tough times.
"I have enjoyed every moment of training him, although it has been slightly stressful at times," said the 69-year-old in a croaky voice that illustrated the depth of his illness and regular chemotherapy.
"He's the best that I have ever had and the best that I've seen."
Frankel facts
- Trainer: Sir Henry Cecil Jockey: Tom Queally Owner: Prince Khalid Abdulla
- Career earnings: £2.99m
- Star sign: Frankel is an Aquarius and shares a birthday with Friends actress Jennifer Aniston
- Nickname: Usain Colt after comparisons with the Jamaican sprinter
- Betting: Odds-on in all races, except first - £1 on his 14 wins would have made a profit of just £5.96.
- Frankel - story of a wonder horse
Cecil is the 10-time champion trainer, the winner of 25 domestic Classic races and owns a CV that boasts more than 70 Royal Ascot wins.
But he was rocked by the death of his twin brother David from cancer in 2000, a divorce from his wife two years later and his career hitting rock bottom.
In 2005 - a year which reaped just 12 winners rather than the scores he was used to - Cecil overheard an observer on the Newmarket gallops remarking: "That's Henry Cecil, he should have retired years ago."
Cecil wasn't having any of it. And when a uniquely talented horse - named after the legendary American trainer Bobby Frankel who died in 2009 - came to him, he plotted a crowning glory to his own career.
"He has come back from the Conference to the Champions League and Henry is a master of his profession," said Teddy Grimthorpe, racing manager to Frankel's owner Prince Khalid Abdulla.
"His handling of the horse is masterly and he was determined to do the right thing by him."
Breathtaking successes, highlighted by last year's runaway 2000 Guineas win, made Frankel a horse that captured the public's imagination.
While his swansong lacked the impressive winning margins of previous victories, a sell-out 32,000 crowd provided a wall of noise from three furlongs out that provided a raucous backdrop to his final fling.
Scouser Phil Shutt, who lives near Aintree racecourse - the home of jump racing's Grand National - made a seven-hour, 450-mile round trip with friends for his first visit to Ascot. Just to see Frankel.
Sir Henry Cecil factfile
- Born 11 Jan, 1943, Aberdeen
- First trainer's licence 1969
- Champion trainer 1976, 1978-9, 1982, 1984-5, 1987-8, 1990, 1993
- Derby winners: Slip Anchor 1985, Reference Point 1987, Commander In Chief 1993, Oath 1999
- 21 other British Classic winners, including Frankel in 2000 Guineas in 2011
- Trained more Royal Ascot winners than anyone else with 75
- Awarded Knighthood for services to racing in 2011
- Trained Frankel to 14 straight wins from 2010-2012
"We came to see history in the making. We think he's the greatest racehorse of all time," said the 25-year-old retail merchandiser.
"It's the power and the style. People will be talking about him in 50 or 60 years' time. We had to be here to see him. I'm quite choked by it all."
Proud jockey Tom Queally, who has been on board for all 14 wins, called his mount "one in a million" and said the decision to retire him was right.
"What else can he do unless he jumps out of the air like Felix the Austrian spaceman?" said the Irishman.
"He's the horse of a lifetime and it's been an amazing journey."
Debates will continue over whether he is the greatest horse Flat racing has seen.
He is officially ranked second best behind Dancing Brave and others will point to their own favourites such as Sea Bird, Mill Reef, Brigadier Gerard and Sea The Stars.
If there is one flaw in Frankel's impeccable record, it is that all his wins came over distances between seven and 10 furlongs.
He never raced outside England and did not take the challenge of the Epsom Derby or Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe over 12 furlongs (a mile-and-a-half).
Ian Balding, trainer of the 1971 Derby winner Mill Reef, told me: "You can't compare horses from different eras but Frankel is the best we have seen in however long.
"Mill Reef was so versatile he won from five lengths to a mile-and-a-half.
What they say about Frankel
"He's a complete athlete and he's got no flaws. He's unique" - former champion jockey Frankie Dettori
"I took my kids to watch Frankel at Newbury so they can say they had actually seen him. He's a beast of a horse. I thought I'd never see one as good as Sea The Stars and then he comes along" - Grand National-winning jockey Mick Fitzgerald
"His talent transcends the sport like no other horse I can remember in my lifetime" Stoke City and former England striker Michael Owen
"We will never know but he is certainly one of the greatest and he won many of his races by a large margin, Everybody loves that" - John Oxx , who trained Sea The Stars
"I just wish Frankel, in a way, had run in the Arc. I think that would have been a real test, a mile-and-a-half in soft ground in France.
"Sea The Stars was a great horse, too, and as good looking a horse as I've ever seen, but he was never flamboyant. He never did more than he had to whereas visually, Frankel is just fantastic."
Whatever the arguments, Frankel has not only been a great. He has been great for horse racing
His final win came on Qipco British Champions Day, the country's richest racing fixture which is designed as a finale to show off the season's champions.
He has also thrived in an era where the marketing campaign Racing For Change tries to promote the sport through a £1m annual budget.
Rod Street, chief executive of the series and Racing for Change, said: "Frankel has transcended racing and gone into mainstream sport.
"It's a great opportunity for racing to sell itself to a new generation, and it's one of the only sports where kids under 16 are admitted free at most venues.
"He's going to be used as the yardstick for years to come. Everyone is going to be looking for the next Frankel. He has put racing front and centre with a bigger audience."
Grimthorpe said he had heard tales of children who point at any horse on the television and shout: "Frankel, Frankel."
And he recognises the part Cecil has played in all of this.
"Henry's re-emergence as a trainer is not just one of the greatest stories in sport, but one of the all-time great stories generally," said Grimthorpe.
Whatever was thrown at him, Frankel has remained undefeated. Rather like his trainer.

Whilst Frankel has been in cruise mode his entire career and was finally smacked just the once yesterday in desperate ground
So, you told a porkie and are now back tracking.Neither us will know who would of won as they have never raced, nor will they. I have the Brigadier down as the better horse over a mile and the best miler ever but that's my opinion just like Frankel is yours.

at the 2 furlong marker only because Tom Queally held his hands up and said he had got the tactics wrong there....still won the race very smugly...he would have beaten Brigadier Gerard in the same manner and only Frankel retired unbeaten out of that pair ! E.O.S

Utter rubbish, Frankel was "smacked" a number of times in the St James's Palace stakes.

You choose to ignore that BG was way over distance in the King George. I have been very specific about BG being the best (better than Frankel) at one mile. At 1.5 miles it would be interesting. At 6 furlongs BG would have slaughtered Frankel and all the best sprinters of the last 50 years. Joe Mercer is the best judge - and he is in no doubt. Roberto beat a BG who came back coughing and streaming.

If you're a man of Sylvester Stallone's stature, you enjoy the finest things that life has to offer. Fast cars, tall women, Ed Hardy clothing, arms so veiny they look like horse c*cks, and expensive ink pens as it turns out.
For years, Stallone has used only Montegrappa writing instruments to sign his film contracts. Now, he's just signed on as the public face of Italian ink pen manufacturer Montegrappa. Not only that, but he'll also give creative input and feedback to a new line of pens the company is launching. Sounds good? I can see him endorsing boxing equipment or bandanas, but I'd think you'd want a writer or mogul to endorse your line of pens. Sure, Sly scripted Rocky, but he also decided what characters said in Driven. (IMDb)

Poll: Which team will win the Class A title?
15 Responses
Maginn should not even be mentioned as a team in A. Gloversville, mohonasen,scotia, would all beat maginn by 30 points this year
mohonasen has a good chance in my opinion to win class A.
Was this a serious question? BH returns veterans, a behemoth Oline, skill players, up comers from a championship JV team and the best coaching staff in Section 2. I hope they get a few challenges along the way this year, give the starters a lot of playing time and experience for the state playoffs. No letting off the gas this season, of all the great BH teams over the past few years this team is looking like one of the best and has a great chance to win it all.
And with all the inter-class play Shen, Toga, Bspa, CBA and Lasalle need to quit ducking the Spartans. Hats off to Coach Whipple and his team for having the stones to play up since the "big bad AA's" refused the offer to play.
the champ… how could you say they have the best coaching staff when their coaches are the reason that they lost last year you can be great in all the little games but when you dont win the one that matters everything you did to get to that games is forgotten about its easy to say its going to be amsterdam and burnt hills in the finals bhills is too dam good for troy
Class A predicion:
1. Burnt Hills
2. Troy
3. Queensbury
4. Amsterdam
5. Averill Park
Ahsrams- Well you have to give a little credit to the other team they played. Maine Endwell had a great second half. I only say that because they've only lost 1 section game in like 5 years, which is very impressive. They keep knocking on the door they will soon get one. Good luck this year, last years Superbowl was Epic.
The north division will be a shootout again between BH-BL as the favorite… as they should be… Amsterdam and Queensbury. All the games between these three teams last year were extremely close. Both regular season and post season games. The other class will be won by Troy because those teams are of no substance. Troy might be able to compete with the three from the west this year, but based on past play they will not. The A's will be a shoot between BH-BL, Queensbury, Amsterdam.
I agree Rams Fan, they all face each other in the regular season so it's going to be good to see where they all stack up against each other. Very close games last year so they should all be very competitive again this year.
See you guys under the lights in TWC's first covered game on TV. The Flying Horses vs The Spartans. In case anyone hasn't seen the other guy's blog..
The schedule:
Friday, Aug. 31 (7 p.m.): Burnt Hills at Troy
Friday, Sept. 7 (7 p.m.): Colonie at Shaker
Friday, Sept. 14 (7 p.m.): La Salle at CBA
Friday, Sept. 21 (7 p.m.): Ballston Spa at Shenendehowa
Friday, Sept. 28 (7 p.m.): Middletown at Newburgh (WHAT?)
Friday, Oct. 5 (7 p.m.): Mechanicville at Stillwater
Friday, Oct. 12 (7 p.m.): Teams to be determined
Im kind of disappoited that the week six rematch between burnt hills, and amsterdam isnt on. Its a saturday game, and its amsterdams home coming. They always put on a show. It would have been great to see that whole atmosphere on tv. But i guess mechanicville stillwater will be more entertaining.
Ok, james thats very understandable. I still would much rather watch that game then one of our local college teams.
Good schedule overall on TW-3. However, NOT getting the Middletown- Newburgh telecast on Sept. 28. Jimmy Crack Corn and I don't care. Aren't there several other Section 2 games worthy of broadcast that night?
@ Bill,
They did the same thing last season with a game from Western Mass. I think TWC is trying to expand their coverage in the market and test the waters that's why they are having that game.
Biggest disappointment of a team not being covered for me is Hoosick Falls, hopefully that week 7 matchup will get the Panthers on. Extremely entertaining team to watch, Billy Pine and Brad Burns are very talented. That epic leap over a defender last season in the mud was amazing.

What follows are excerpts taken from the various books of the Bible. This is just a brief collection of the kind of filth that the "holy book" contains. This should demonstrate to Jews and Christians alike that what they hear in churches and synagogues is hand-picked by priests and rabbis in an effort to "demonstrate" what a loving, peaceful being God is. However, I urge you to pick up the Bible and read it for yourself. Then and only then will you actually be able to determine how absolutely absurd and ridiculous the book really is.
From the start, in the book of Genesis, you will notice that the authors of the "holy book" had no knowledge of our world. Yet certainly, a book that is supposed to be the word of God (omniscient as we are told he is) should be accurate in every detail. But you will soon see that there are actually two creation stories in the book of Genesis, with a completely different order of creation events. You will also notice that Eve was tempted by a snake, who actually spoke to her; that people lived hundreds of years; that the all-knowing God apparently didn't know that man was going to "sin," so he had his children drowned by a great flood; that Noah, father of all of earth's inhabitants following the flood, was six hundred years old when he supposedly constructed a wooden arc; that he presumably carried a male and female of every species of animal to safety after 40 days and nights of unrelenting rain which covered the peaks of the highest mountains… ! Need I continue?
I know what many of you would say right about now… These are just stories, they are not to be taken literally. Certainly we know that people don't live to be hundreds of years old, that animals do not speak, etc. I agree, but then what about the rest of the stories in the Bible, are these also make-believe? Was Jesus born of a virgin, did he walk on water, resurrect the dead, and did he himself come back to life after being dead for three days? Certainly if one concludes that the Bible is filled with fairy tales (which it is) one would also need to conclude that we cannot believe ANY of its content? Isn't it illogical to dismiss many of the absurd stories contained in the Bible as absolutely false while accepting other equally absurd stories as true? Of course it is.
So now we come to arguably the most spent word in religious discussions: FAITH. It all comes down to faith; belief in something for which there is no evidence. One might as well believe in (and worship) flying elephants, after all, no one can prove that they don't exist.
I hope that you do read the Bible excerpts below as well as the entire Bible, although I don't believe most of you will have the stomach for it. Bear in mind that the excerpts below are taken from the New American version of the Catholic Bible, so there is a good chance that the words will not match verbatim the Bible you may have at home. Nonetheless, they will match well enough that you will be able to confirm the veracity of the statements.
By the way, I am not only picking on the Bible. The Koran, being that it took a great deal of material from the Bible since Islam is a much more recent faith, is full of the same kinds of ridiculous fairy tales, as well as the filth and hatred that the Bible advocates. In short, all three of the world's major religions are equally bogus.
Make sure you also read the opinion of an atheist, by Robert G. Ingersoll, at the end of this post. TGO

Likewise, you wives should be subordinate to your husbands so that, even if some disobey the word, they may be won over without a word by their wives' conduct when they observe your reverent and chaste behavior.
Robert G. Ingersoll: The opinion of an atheist –
… Ministers wonder how I can be wicked enough to attack the Bible.
I will tell them: This book, the Bible, has persecuted, even unto death, the wisest and the best. This book stayed and stopped the onward movement of the human race. This book poisoned the fountains of learning and misdirected the energies of man.
This book is the enemy of freedom, the support of slavery. This book sowed the seeds of hatred in families and nations, fed the flames of war, and impoverished the world. This book is the breastwork of kings and tyrants – the enslaver of women and children. This book has corrupted parliaments and courts. This book has made colleges and universities the teachers of error and the haters of science. This book has filled Christendom with hateful, cruel, ignorant and warring sects. This book taught men to kill their fellows for religion's sake.
This book funded the Inquisition, invented the instruments of torture, built the dungeons in which the good and loving languished, forged the chains that rusted in their flesh, erected the scaffolds whereon they died. This book piled fagots about the feet of the just. This book drove reason from the minds of millions and filled the asylums with the insane.
This book has caused fathers and mothers to shed the blood of their babes. This book was the auction block on which the slave-mother stood when she was sold from her child.
This book filled the sails of the slave-trader and made merchandise of human flesh. This book lighted the fires that burned "witches" and "wizards." This book filled the darkness with ghouls and ghosts, and the bodies of men and women with devils.
This book polluted the souls of men with the infamous dogma of eternal pain. This book made credulity the greatest of virtues, and investigation the greatest of crimes. This book filled nations with hermits, monks and nuns – with the pious and the useless. This book placed the ignorant and unclean saint above the philosopher and philanthropist. This book taught man to despise the joys of this life, so that he might be happy in another – to waste this world for the sake of the next.
I attack this book because it is the enemy of human liberty – the greatest obstruction across the highway of human progress.
Let me ask the ministers one question: How can you be wicked enough to defend this book?

Public libraries will have to pay 13.5 percent more for their employer share.
Other state agencies will have to pay 1 percent more.

hmm do they make a nanoXP?
Hi guys,
i am using Frodoplayer and I think this will be one of the most used CarPc Frontends in the future, so I am going to ask you this question.
What do you think about a standalone Solution of frodoplayer?
A Carpc-killer-solution including a small operation System, easy to install and to handle. No unused waste-progs and a size which easy fits on a 32mb Flash card.
__________________________________________________ ___________
I think some people here know an OS called "Nano98".
Its a Windows 98se, reduced to a filesize of 10mb. The booting time is betwenn 3 and 8 sec. It only includes the basics of Windows and not more than the really needing parts.
The explorer itselve is copied from Win95 and offers also not really a lot, but :
When you use frodo, an exlorer is not needed, so we can also leave it away, to get 2mb more space, and reduce the booting time.
I am working a long time with this OS, but I am still looking for a possoibillity, to copy this OS, because at the moment, the only way to get a nano98 is to build it yourself, whick needs about 3h and a lot of dos experience.
If we find a chance to install it by simply copying/registering the files to a hdd, its easy to build a dos installation, which installes your nano98 with frodo as the explorer and ONLY the really needing drivers like TS of xenark and lilliput, a usbtocom prog for the Gps and the standart used vga/board drivers(via/epia).
Maybe also a destiantor version can be installed automatically.
__________________________________________________ _____________
I am searching here for help, but when there is no need of this OS or nobody knows an answer, please delete this thread, because I dont know how to go on, so i am using xp at the moment.
OH: the link to Nano98
hmm do they make a nanoXP?
[COLOR=Navy][SIZE=1][FONT=Comic Sans MS]Tektility
No chance to reduce the size and the boottime of xp like that, sry.
Please no questions about XP, its not possible, nano98 is the only way (maybe) to create a Frodo standalone solution.Maybe linux too.
Other would be to big, and to difficult to install.
this .... coupled with the write protected drive chatted 'bout yesterday and before.. the following may be of intrest.
BAH!Please no questions about XP, its not possible
I dont think i would want to use anything based on win95/98/ME no matter how small or fast it is. Plus any extra new hardware you add, you better hope they make drivers for win95/98 or your SOL.
XP embeded would be a better route to go for faster boot times
yeah.. i think XPE and some live CD technology could yield some interesting results
before talking on like "ohoh, xp would be so wonderfull......"
When we reduce Xp to a filesize of 100m(the smallest we can get) all the funktions you expected of XP are LOST. No usb Hdd support, no themes, no tools.
The only differences between a 10mb 98 and a 100mb XP are:
-the SIZE (NO 32mb Card support)
- XP is kernel based, so there is a smaller possibillity of a bluescreen, but a nano98 dont answer a bad question with a bluescreen, i tried. Its very stable
So please please, only say something abot Xp, when you really used a small version of it. I DID !!
Where did this 100m limit come from?
I could care less if it's 100m or 300m. If it could be written as XPE to a non.writable partion and used to enhance boot time.. then so be it.
I'm not prepared to lose vital functionality to make a few seconds on boot time.
Keep discussing. I'm listening. Let this be the thread for the ideas. (Don't use this as a thread to sneak in feature requests)
[H]4 Life
My next generation Front End is right on schedule.
It will be done sometime in the next generation.
I'm a lesbian too.
I am for hire!
How compatible is Frodoplayer with 98? I thought I remembered some issues? Maybe I am thinking of one of the other Front Ends?

9. Glenn Posey, WR, 1987
Posey had the size at 6-feet 3-inches and 170 pounds to be an elite receiver, but his speed (4.7 40-yard dash) dictated a role somewhere else on the field. Posey proved that pure athleticism isn't the only measure of greatness, becoming arguably the state's best possession receiver during his three-year career with the Blue Devils. Posey caught most everything thrown his way and racked up a record 158 receptions, a mark that still tops the 5A Division today. The two-time first-team All-State receiver had 64 catches, 877 yards and 11 touchdowns as a senior in 1986, his third straight season leading the AAA-1 Division. At that time, his 2,490 career yards were second all-time to Flowing Wells' Mike Effing. Posey was a Super 11 selection in 1986 alongside the Blue Devils' quarterback Bobby Valdez. Posey's lack of speed limited his Division I potential as he went on to play at NAU. He's now the head coach at Sunnyside and finished 5-5 in his first season in charge of the Blue Devils.

Capitol's oldest dept. head turns 74, remains in post-A A +A
Wednesday, April 24, 2013
CAPITOL'S oldest department head, Eduardo Habin, who served seven governors, celebrated his 74th birthday yesterday.
When asked if he is that good as he still remains in Capitol, he said, "You ask the appointing authority, I cannot answer that."
"Career person siya. It does not matter kinsa ang naa sa iyang ibabaw (He is a career person and it does not matter whom he worked for)," said Guadalupe Cabahug-Latonio, daughter of Sotero Cabahug.
When asked who is the best of the seven governors that he served, he said, "Sila tanan, lain lain lang og style (All of them. They have styles)."
In April 2004, Habin, 65, was supposed to retire. But then Gov. Pablo Garcia gave him a six-month extension, or until Oct 2004. He was at that time the provincial administrator and budget officer.
Suspended Gov. Gwen Garcia gave Habin a six-month extension, or until April 2005.
Then on April 2005, Garcia appointed Emme Gingoyon as budget officer. Habin remained as provincial administrator, coterminous with the governor.
When Garcia was suspended on Dec. 19, 2012, Acting Gov. Agnes Magpale maintained Habin's co-terminus status.
Gwen has the most number of projects, he said.
He said Lito Osmeña was the best administrator.
"Walay usik labi na sa oras (He didn't want to waste time)," he said.
He described Magpale as a good person and easy to approach. Gov. Osmundo Rama was kind while Gov. Eduardo Gullas was very active, he said.
Budget officer
Habin was 41 years old when he joined the government service in 1980, as Capitol's budget officer II under Gov. Gullas.
Then former President Corazon Aquino replaced Gullas and appointed Rama as Capitol officer-in-charge in 1986.
Gullas and then vice governor Beatriz Calderon voluntarily left their posts. But some legislators, Habin recalled, refused to vacate their posts. He remained as budget officer at that time.
Gov. Osmeña was elected, replacing Rama, and Gov. Vicente de la Serna came in 1992. Then Pablo Garcia was elected in 1995 and served three terms.
Habin was born in 1939 in Iloilo city. He was brought to Mandaue City by his aunt Dolores Cabahug who helped him in his studies.
He earned his license in accountancy, then became the assistant manager of Rural Bank of Mandaue, of which the Cabahugs owned majority of the stocks.

The course in Public Health Biology and Nutrition covers general and more specific material on molecular and nutritional concepts that have applications to Public Health. Topics include genetics, nutrigenomics, epigenetics, nutrition during the life cycle and other important areas such as physical activity and ecology that are of high interest for public health professionals. As an important part in public health education, emphasis will be given to chronic diseases, their etiology and relationship to nutrition and other relevant lifestyle factors. An integral part of the course is to encourage students to use scientifically sound methods in research. At the end of the course students should have a broader knowledge of Public Health Biology and Nutrition and how molecular as well as ecological factors may have an impact on health and disease.

How are prayer and writing similar? You'll appreciate this insight I came across recently:
"The author, George Moore, in replying to a question of a young woman on how to go about the business of becoming a writer, suggested to her that she buy a table and a chair, and get a pad of paper and a pen, and then be there. When the muse comes to dine with you, you have to be at home. Being present is a first condition of hospitality. But unless you want terribly to write, you will not be at the table. A thousand legitimate reasons will appear that will call you elsewhere, and anyone who has ever written knows how insistent these calls away from home, these calls from the table, can be. So it is with prayer." (Steere, Douglas V. Dimensions of Prayer. New York: Women's Division of Christian Service, 1962, p. 23-24.)
How do you become a writer? By doing what I am aiming to do here and now. Show up. Sit down. Stay put. Listen. Watch for the creative Guest. Don't fail to be present when He arrives. I must let my desire to write something God has invited me to write to rise above the other desires, impulses, or inclinations. Not easy.
The same is true of prayer. There are a million things I can think of to do other than bring my attention to Jesus, live in His presence, open my heart to Him and enjoy relationship together. In this, prayer is like writing or any other creative effort. Prayer is a creative effort.
Father, help me in this work I desire and intend to do, both writing and prayer. Protect me from letting fears or perfectionism hinder me. These impulses would have me give up today and wait for some "better time." I could go that direction, but I wouldn't be glad at day's end that I did.
For Reflection: What creative work have you told yourself you should do "someday"? Prayer, poetry, writing a story, painting? What if someday were today? What simple first step could you take?

The passionate U.S. pilot didn't realize the immense life struggle he would face when he embarked for a mission in Vietnam from Alameda Naval Air Station, which is now the site of the USS Hornet.
Dengler survived and lived to tell the tale. Famous and controversial German director Werner Herzog worked with the trustees of the USS Hornet to film "Rescue Dawn," a docudrama about Dengler's story, on the battleship. Trustee Bob Fish, a Danville resident, said the film, which opened last Friday, stays true to Dengler's experience.
"It's very close to the actual real thing," said Fish, who served as a U.S. Marine Corporal.
The film chronicles the true experiences of U.S. Naval Aviator Lt. Dieter Dengler flying from the USS Ranger aircraft, which left Alameda in December of 1965. The ship was heading into a secret combat mission off the coast of Vietnam, near Laos. He was shot down on his inaugural mission and held captive in desperate jungle conditions, but eventually escaped after several months, overcoming great adversity.
After the service, he moved to the Bay Area, worked in the airline industry, and retired in Marin County where he died in 2001 from Lou Gehrig's Disease, ALS.
Fish noted Dengler's story expresses the power of the human spirit.
"His is an exceptional story of the human will to live. Several people were killed and captured," Fish said. "Many people would've given up."
Although, he added that translating the actual intensity of war into film is difficult.
"You're scared," he said. "It's all about 'now.' It could be their last moment on earth. I don't buy war movies. (The films) bring too much intensity."
Directors shooting film and television are nothing new to the USS Hornet. Fish said the director of the Hollywood action film "Triple X" - starring muscular actor Vin Diesel - was shot on the ship, with 75-100 crew members working on it.
"It was the whole freaking ship," Fish said. "It was controlled chaos."
He also said the producers of hit TV show "Fear Factor" did stunts on the ship.
Fish found his experience with director Herzog to be more intimate. The director expanded the scope of his shooting as Fish gave him a tour of the Hornet, giving him insight of how to "flesh in" the life of a naval aviator.
"He's very passionate," Fish said. "He's passionate about exploring characters. He's intense. He's a perfectionist."
"He's very hands-on with a small crew," Fish added, noting that he knew what an entire scene was supposed to look and feel like. "He's very involved. He knew what he wanted to capture."
Also, Fish said working with Christian Bale, who plays Dengler, was enjoyable.
"Christian Bale was delightful," he said. "During the moments when they were shooting scenes, he was very professional and focused on his work. But in between he was happy to chat with our museum volunteers and other folks who happened by."
"He's just a regular guy," he added.
Fish said Hollywood film and television producers who want to incorporate Naval elements in their work often contact the U.S. Navy Department's movie industry arm. Department officials then make recommendations on what facility works best for Hollywood and for the Navy.
The level of access to military facilities for Hollywood has been reduced because of Sept. 11, said Fish. Still, Herzog and the Hornet trustees found common ground in 2005.
Fish said Dengler flying from the same homeport as the Hornet and then choosing to live in the Bay Area after his mission were two important signs that Herzog's project was worth their time.
Additionally, Fish said he enjoyed the German filmmaker's other works, "Fitzcarraldo," "Grizzly Man," and "Little Dieter Needs to Fly." Local San Francisco actors, such as Brad Carr, were hired to play Dengler's flight team.
Dengler grew up in Germany with his mother and brothers but did not know his father, who was killed while serving in the German army during World War II. His grandfather was declared a political enemy of the Nazis for being the only citizen in his town who did not vote for Hitler.
Dengler wanted to become a pilot after seeing an Allied aircraft flying over his town from his bedroom window in World War II. At 18, he went to New York and then signed up for the U.S. Air Force.
In Alameda, he was part of the VA-145 squadron. They were nicknamed the "Swordsmen."
Fish said he is looking forward to seeing the Dengler in "Rescue Dawn."
"I want to see the Hornet on the big screen," he said.

What is the small white round pill with imprint 319?
Not Medical Advice: A white, round pill with 319 imprint on it has been identified as Tramadol hydrochloride 50 mg.
Tramadol belongs to the group of drugs called miscellaneous analgesics. It is a narcotic-like pain reliever used to treat moderate to severe pain, and conditions such as fibromyalgia, anxiety and more.
Side effects from Tramadol are typically not common, but still can take place.
For one woman, being given Tramadol to relieve the pain of a bad back quickly led to an addiction which left her jobless, bankrupt, and barely able to function. Learn more at itv.

Traditional wood burning stoves found in rural homes in Guatemala emit deadly indoor air pollution. As a result, respiratory illness is the leading cause of death for children under 5. Sustainable stoves provide extremely poor, rural families with immediate, lifesaving relief for women and children, the primary victims of this deadly indoor pollution. These stoves utilize chimneys to remove smoke from the home and utilize 75% less wood, preserving the environment and subsequent deforestation.
What is the issue, problem, or challenge?
In Guatemala respiratory illness is the leading of cause of death for children under 5. In rural areas where few can afford modern cooking stoves or fuel such as propane, traditional wood fires are inside homes with little to no ventilation creating a dangerous living environment and chronically exposing women and children to smoke. The heavy need for fire wood increases deforestation, pollution and subsequent watershed destruction creating further vulnerability within these poor communities.
How will this project solve this problem?
Sustainable Stoves serve traditional roles while implementing a basic sustainable design. They are used like traditional stoves but use 75% less firewood, maintain heat more efficiently, and are raised off the ground to prevent accidents and injury, especially for children.They also feature a chimney to remove smoke and toxic fumes from the homes. These stoves conserve trees and watershed, save families time and money and create a safer and healthier living environment.
Potential Long Term Impact
Education is critical for long term success of this project. Families and community members are directly involved in the construction of every stove and HRI provides education to the community about the harsh effects of smoke exposure to themselves and their children. Creating healthier environments indoors for women and children, educating families, as well as conserving trees and watersheds are long term benefits which become greater over time.

I absolutely love the idea of re-using something that is headed for a junk heap somewhere.
Here are a few little ideas I've been compiling for our next bookshelf adventure.
This is probably one of my favorite things ever. I love how it somehow manages to look modern and vintage all at once and I can only imagine Isaac's excited squeals at pushing this around and grabbing books off of it. So cool.
These next two are awesome because they are that forward-facing style of bookshelf that I love, especially for kids books. They are both made out of shipping pallets. They are both pretty incredible.
Pretty fun, right? Do you have any up-cycling you want to do soon? Would you use any of these in your house or does it feel too grungy to you?

Jan Karon's new series, launched with her New York Times best-selling Home to Holly Springs, thrilled legions of Mitford devotees, and also attracted a whole new set of fans. "Lovely," said USA Today. "Rejoice!" said The Washington Post.
In this second novel, Father Tim and Cynthia arrive in the west of Ireland, intent on researching his Kavanagh ancestry from the comfort of a charming fishing lodge. The charm, however, is broken entirely when Cynthia startles a burglar and sprains her already injured ankle. Then a cherished and valuable painting is stolen from the lodge owners, and Cynthia's pain pales in comparison to the wound at the center of this bitterly estranged Irish family.
In the Company of Others is a moving testament to the desperate struggle to hide the truth at any cost and the powerful need to confess. Of all her winning novels, Jan Karon says this "dark-haired child" is her favorite - a sentiment listeners everywhere are certain to share.
©2010 Jan Karon (P)2010 Penguin Audio
I have always loved the Father Tim series but I must be listening to a different book than the one others have rated. I'm on chapter 11 and find the story boring; I miss John McDonough, who read the other books. Erik Singer's voice seems too young. I tolerated him in the last book but this is it for me. I may have to try this book again in print form to see if I like it more..
"Good as ever, but...."
I was disappointed at the change in reader. I have come to love the voice characterizations and rhythms of John McDonough. If I had not already listened to the entire rest of the series, I would not have cared; but the change was a little off-putting for me. Otherwise, a typically enjoyable Father Tim book.
"wonderful, enjoyable, heart warming- a must!"
This whole audio production was the Best!!! Mr. Erik Singer was outstanding in his reading of the story. His Irish accent, his separation of voices for the character, his timing and emphasis were superb. The story was wonderful. I hated to stop listening, and could hardly wait to press."Play" again. I think this is Mrs. Karon's best work, but then each time I read one of her books I say that. This is a must buy. Whether you are a loyal Jan Karon fan or new to her work you will love this. So go ahead and get this audio. You will be so glad you did. Thank you Jan, Erik, the musicians and production staff. It was wonderful and I will be listening to this many times.
"Thumbs Up"
Jan Karon does it again with another book filled with charming characters, both new and old. Plots are fair, but her books are for people who read for characters. Erik Singer's narration is good, though for those of us who are accustomed to the other narrator, it is an adjustment. I did enjoy his Irish dialects.
If this is your first Jan Karon, I encourage you to start with the Mitford books.
"I love Father Tim and Cynthia"
Absolutely It's a good story with interesting characters BUT if you are expecting all the Mitford gang you will be disappointed. They are in Ireland without Dooley, Harley, Puny, the twins, and even Barnabas.
Once you get past that the cast of characters is different you can settle in and get to know their new friends.
"great except..."
I miss the Mitford narrator. Worth a credit though
JACOB CONLEY Henrietta NC
"Lovely story! - Hate the reader!"
I am pretty open minded and so I didn't worry about the reader even after reading the reviews negatively comparing him with the wonderful John McDonough (even though true). It was the hard quick tone that he used in dialog between Father T and Cynthia that was almost sarcastic and definitely and not in keeping with the spirit of the characters. The way he read some of the text it it almost made me dislike Cynthia! Something that I never though could remotely happen.
"I like the other books about Father Tim better."
I got through the audiobook but with much less interest than usual for a Jan Karon story. I didn't have any enthusiasm for the characters or the story and didn't like the Irish accents. I want to hear about Mule and Puney back in Mitford!
"What a bonnie story"
Loved it! As always Jan Karon's stories captivate and hold me until the very last word.
"As Usual I am not disappointed"
I own all of the Mitford and Father Tim series in audible form. I never tire of listening to them. There are few books I will read or listen to twice but I have listen to these books over and over. My favorite reader is John McDonough but I must say that Erik Singer was fantastic and did a wonderful job. I will look for his name as narrator again! I highly recommend this book.
