Hipshaker's Brian Engel on ten years of spinning soul on 45s
Engel can't resist a little digging for new jams.
Photo by Dave Hoenack
The only thing standing between you and a new career as a DJ is two turntables and a microphone. Yeah, a mixer too. Don't have 'em? Don't worry, you've got a friend who's got it all in his basement, and it's not getting used anymore.
That's what's so incredible about Hipshaker's tenth anniversary, which will be celebrated this weekend at the Kitty Kat Club. They've got staying power. Hipshaker even survived a change of venue a few years back, and this weekend they will even feature all three original members.
This week Gimme Noise met DJ Brian Engel at -- where else -- a record store to talk about how Hipshaker got started, how it's changed and what to expect from their tenth anniversary this weekend.
Gimme Noise: Ten years! Take us back to the beginning.
Brian Engel: Greg [Waletski] and I had heard about each other before we met. There was a dig that my buddy Fred and I were gonna go on. Greg's a dancer and Fred's wife's a dancer, so they knew each other. We didn't meet then, though. It was a while later that I met him at Brit's Pub on accident. A guy named Marc Mueller used to do his thing there and that's where we started gathering for a while until he moved on. Ron [Wade] just popped up outta nowhere. He was a record nerd. We'd see him at Hymie's and at record shows, and we're all buying the same shit. We became friendly that way.
It's as simple as that. (Snaps) The three of us had got piles of the best records. We'd all been scouring, finding 'em cheap and dropping loot, too, as we can. It was not a question of should we DJ but where we should do it.
GN: Where was the first show?
BE: Our first work together was at King and I Thai. We weren't Hipshaker yet. Ron landed a regular spot there. I think that was one of their first regular things, since they were just figuring out what they're doing today.
He'd have me and Greg show up. We were the only people in town who had the sort of records he wanted. (Snaps) It was just like the Beatles.
So Greg and Ron walk downstairs at Jitters, which is now Honey over there on East Hennepin, and walked out with a gig. It was a Wednesday night. We all made flyers but we all kinda did our own thing. Ron had computer skills, and I would just draw them.
GN: Here it is ten years later and you guys really ignited a scene here in Minneapolis. You probably inspired some of the people who are now your competition.
BE: I don't see it as a competition. It's all understated, like "check out my new records." We're all growing together, as individual people and collectors.
GN: What has changed over 10 years?
BE: The internet has changed the way people buy 45s for sure. It's gotten easier and really broadened the availability of anything you're looking for.
GN: So is it easier for someone to come out of nowhere and do what used to take a lot of work.
BE: It's easier if you've got money. There's a guy in New York City who's pieced together the best funk and soul collection I've ever seen, but he's obviously got money and he's been able to do that in just a couple years. We've only scratched the surface, in terms of ownership of the actual records. We know about a lot of the jams he plays but we don't have them.
The internet has changed everything - advertising, marketing, PR. I sit and Facebook every morning and shop for customers. And I tell them about our jams. I haven't walked around and put a flyer on the wall in I don't know how many years.
GN: Someone does.
BE: Greg still does. I don't. I used to walk around in January with a pocket full of flyers and a roll of tape and put them every ten feet down Hennepin. When you started out, that's how you did it - We were punk rock then.
We started it right on time here. Hip hop had already become a form of pop music, and kids were hearing stuff - samples they recognize - and they liked it.
Thinking about how our fan base changes, there's a cycle to it. When we were at Jitter's we would develop over a year or so a really nice sized crowd of regulars, and after a while they'd disappear.
A new crowd would come every year and a half or two and they'd love it so much they'd call it church, but then they'd disappear. I think they'd finish school.
GN: Is your crowd college kids?
BE: Yeah, at Jitter's. They were college-aged people. Were they in college I don't know. Twenty-one to thirty-something. Primarily white, primarily female.
GN: Yeah, Hipshaker has been named "best place to meet single women" by City Pages twice. [2003 and 2012] I remember you had a lot of new men in the crowd this past May.
BE: Of course we did. We were all on our toes because it was crowded and there were all kinds of meatheads trollin'. After a couple hours they were like, 'this music sucks,' and they left. They don't like the music but the girls do, and they like to feel pretty and Greg plays to that.
GN: How?
BE: Because his interest lies in the girl groups from the 60s, and women dig it. They love it and they can relate to it.
GN: So it's performance more than playing records?
BE: I'm a performer. Ask anyone - I'm the guy with the worst air-guitar, air-horn, air-drum habit in town. It's perfect for me. But I know my records and I know how to play drums so when I do it I'm on. It's small stuff, like a tick I have. That's my schtick. Greg's always happy, that's his thing. He's a beam of light. And we've been doing it together consistently for ten years. Ron left a few years ago, but he's coming back for the anniversary.
GN: Any special stuff stashed away?
BE: Naw, I wish. Nothing I've saved on purpose. I have lots I don't play regularly, and some that were smash hits for us for a long time that have been retired. Those will come back - Classic Hipshaker, I guess. Like "What Do You See in Her" by Inell Young. I used to drop that record and in three drum kicks everyone would scream for joy. They wanted it - It was huge!
Hipshaker's tenth anniversary will take place over two nights at the Kitty Kat Club. On Friday, August 17 the original DJs - Greg Waletski, Brian Engel and Ron Wade will revisit past Hipshaker favorites and spin some of their current finds. On Saturday, August 18 they'll be joined by several soul and funk DJs from around the US, including Andy Noble from Milwakee's Get Down, Nick Soule from Chicago's Windy City Soul Club and the awesome Ben Mena from our own Hotpants. Music and dancing start at 9pm each night. $5 cover.

This article was reported by the Albany Herald.
The Albany Herald reported that the Georgia Department of Community Affairs Housing Trust Fund awarded $225,000 to Lutheran Services of Georgia (LSG) to increase services to the Housing Opportunities for People with AIDS (HOPWA) program in Albany. LSG is partnering with local advocacy and service organizations to curb the homelessness that HIV-positive individuals are vulnerable to due to the existing stigma of having the disease, as well as the costs of treatment.
"We are very excited to work with our community partners to assist meeting the needs of this vulnerable population," said Phillip Hogan, LSG's HOPWA program manager. Eight regional areas, including Valdosta, Albany, Tifton, and Waycross, will provide assistance with mortgage, rent, and utilities to persons with HIV.
The Georgia Department of Public Health Online Analytical Statistical Information System reported 32 deaths related to HIV/AIDS in the Southwest Public Health District in 2011, 14 of which were from Dougherty County, indicating the heavy impact of HIV in this area. CDC's 2009 statistics show that the highest number of AIDS diagnoses among adults and adolescents lived in the southern United States. The south also accounted for almost half of new AIDS diagnoses in 2010.

Boko Haram kills 18 in Maiduguri
•Photo: Masked members of Boko Haram
•Nine killed, 30 houses razed in Nasarawa
•Gunmen kill three in Plateau
•Religious crisis politically motivated –Jonathan
By Joe Nwankwo (Abuja), Onoja Audu (Jos), Praise Sakera (Lafia) and Abdulkareem Haruna (Maiduguri)
Eighteen civilians, including three infants, were killed by suspected Boko Haram members between Wednesday and Thursday in Maiduguri, Borno State capital.
Some of the victims were slaughtered while others were shot dead.
These actrocities were committed just as President Goodluck Jonathan declared on Thursday that most of the religious crises in the country were politically motivated.
Nine persons were in the early hours of Wednesday found dead with their throats slit near a popular cattle market in the heart of Maiduguri.
Residents of Kasuwan Shanu, the area where the cattle market is located, said the assailants used their knives freely on throats of their victims.
An eyewitness, Yakubu Isa, told journalists that the Wednesday killing of civilians took place at about at 2.30 a.m.
"The gunmen actually did not use their guns in the killings, instead they used knives and cutlasses in slitting the throats of nine residents of Shokari to probably avoid attracting the JTF soldiers in the area," said Isa.
Spokesman of Borno State Police Command, Gideon Jibrin, confirmed on phone that "there were attacks and killings in the outskirts of Maiduguri in one Shokari ward on the Maiduguri-Gambouru road, by assailants suspected to be Boko Haram gunmen."
In the same manner the suspected assailants at Jiddari-Polo area of Maiduguri killed three children, aged 5, 7 and 12 years respectively.
Residents in the area said the three kids, identified as children of a policeman, were slaughtered while their mother hid behind the house listening to the groans of her children as they were killed.
Their father, one Aduju Zubairu, was not around at the time the killers arrived.
A family member told journalists that "the attack took place at about 1.50 a.m. when the men forcefully broke the main gate where they violently woke up the three children while the mother who heard the noise at the gate went into hiding.
"When the men searched and found no adult, they picked up the children who at that time were sleeping and slaughtered them before leaving.
"It was the wailing of the mother who came out and found her kids in the pool of blood that woke us all up."
At about 7.00 a.m., six young men were also gunned down at Lawan Bukar area when they tried to round up some Boko Haram members who invaded the area.
A top security officer who confirmed all the killings to Daily Independent said "the six brave gunmen thought they could overpower the two Boko Haram gunmen but the latter unfortunately opened fire on them and got six of them killed."
Police Public Relations Officer, Gabriel Jubrin, told journalists that the incident was being investigated.
Also, nine persons were feared killed, among them a seven-year-old boy and a District Head, and about 30 houses burnt in a renewed clash between the Koro and Eggon militias in the Obi Local Government area of Nasarawa State.
The suspected militias fought, armed with sophisticated weapons, on Wednesday.
But the police confirmed that only five persons died in the clash.
State Deputy Governor, Damishe Luka Barau, was at the scene of the tragedy on Thursday in company of newsmen.
The homes of a former legislator in the state, Obed Joseph; a former Chairman of Jenkwe Development Area, Musa Aloko; and the palace of the 'Zhe Migili', Ayuba Agwadu, were completely razed by the attackers.
The Deputy Governor, who condemned the attack, described the killings as senseless and barbaric, assuring that the state government will soon come out with a position on the crisis.
Daily Independent gathered that the feud started at about 8.00 a.m. on Wednesday.
The number of the injured could not be ascertained as at press time on Thursday.
It was further learnt that the crisis was sparked off by a motorcycle believed to have been stolen by some unidentified youths who allegedly ran to Gwadanye, a Koro settlement that has an outstanding love-hate relationship with the people of Angwan Yakubu.
The said motorcycle was allegedly stolen from Angwan Yakubu on Monday.
Efforts by the villagers to fish out the culprits in Gwadanye resulted in the fracas.
The constituency office of the Deputy Speaker, Nasarawa State House of Assembly, Elisha Agwadu, was among the houses that were razed down during the fracas.
The incident prevented free flow of traffic along Lafia-Makurdi highway, as the militants blocked the road.
Nasarawa state Commissioner of Police, Abayomi Akeremale, confirmed that five people were killed.
The police commissioner who spoke on phone, however, noted that the Assistant Inspector General (AIG) of Police Zone 4, Makurdi, Michael Zuokumor, was on ground.
Another report from Jos said at least three people were shot dead on Wednesday night by unknown gunmen in Sho village in the Barkinladi Local Government area and Rankebot village in the Riyom Local Government of Plateau State.
Daily Independent findings revealed that the victims were killed in two separate incidents.
A resident of one of the villages told Daily Independent on Thursday in Jos that efforts were being made to mop up guns in the neighborhoods in the two local government council areas.
It was also learnt that a similar incident occurred at Rankebot village at about 5.30 p.m. where a farmer working on his farm was shot at close range by some gunmen.
Spokesman of the Special Task Force (STF) on Jos crisis, Salisu Mustapha, confirmed the two incidents to newsmen in Jos.
Meanwhile, speaking at the launch of a programme to encourage religious harmony between Christians and Mulims organised by the Tony Blair Faith Foundation, Jonathan noted that young people in the country were being seduced by false prophets and led into the path of violence and hatred.
He advised religious leaders to ensure that religion was neither misused nor abused to justify violence.
In a brief remark delivered on his behalf by Minister of Housing and Urban Development, Amah Pepple, at the event, the President said: "Inter-religious dialogue is already playing an important role in our society."
"The Federal Government continues to promote religious harmony by constantly engaging the Nigeria Inter-Religious Council, jointly chaired by the President of Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) and the Sultan of Sokoto.
"While progress on this front is satisfactory, it must be pointed out that some of the religious tensions in the country are politically motivated.
"We must now use both platforms to call on all believers to reject religiously anchored violence, advance tolerance, and promote mutual understanding."
Jonathon also emphasised the imperatives of dialogue as part of efforts to create peace and advance development.
Founder of the Tony Blair Faith Foundation and former British Prime Minister, Tony Blair, said Nigerian politicians had to choose whether they wanted to be leaders or politicians.
He pointed out that leadership was required to tackle the challenges facing the country.
"My foundation and I are deeply committed to addressing the challenges of religious reconciliation in Nigeria," he said.
According to him, understanding and respecting different faiths is central to securing sustainable peace, particularly where those who seek to misuse religion for violent ends aim to destroy it.
He said the foundation would be working with the Archbishop of Canterbury Designate, Justin Welby, towards healing the rifts and divisions among faiths in Nigeria to bring unity and peaceful co-existence to the Nigerian people.
Also speaking at the event, President of the Chrisstian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Ayo Oritsejafor, while thanking Blair for the initiative, said the solution to religious violence lies with Nigerians.
He believes that there is no alternative to dialogue to resolve the crisis.
In his remarks, the Sultan of Sokoto called on Nigerians to embrace peace. He noted that those who engaged in religious violence were in the minority, adding that majority of Nigerians were peace loving and non-violent.
While expressing confidence in the ability of Nigerians to resolve crises in the country, he appealed to all Nigerians to choose peace.
In his contribution, an Anglican Primate, Reverend Nicholas Okoh, said religion had become a victim in the hands of political predators.
He said religion had been misused and abused by politicians, adding that the greatest task before religious leaders was how to rescue religion from the hands of politicians.
"We must bring confidence back into religion. But beyond that, government must address the problem of unemployment, insecurity, and hunger.
"It is a shame that despite availability of fertile land across the country, Nigeria depends heavily on food importation."
Also speaking, Archbishop of Canterbury Designate, Justin Welby, who said he had visited Nigeria for 75 times, added that the Tony Blair Faith Foundation would help to motivate people to ensure peaceful co-existence in Nigeria.

Results tagged "anthropology"
Tattoo Anthropologist Dr. Lars Krutak is no stranger here on Needles & Sins. We've linked his articles numerous times, from research on ancient skin sewing rituals to his visiting the oldest tattoo studio in Greece. We've applauded his documentary series for Discovery, Tattoo Hunter, which explores indigenous body modification practices worldwide. And we've listed his latest book, Kalinga Tattoo: Ancient and Modern Expressions of the Tribal, as a holiday gift guide pick.
What we haven't done is look beyond his work and profile Lars himself. This past weekend, The Borneo Post beat us to it. The article discusses his 15+ years researching tribal tattoo traditions and rituals, a number of which he has experienced himself. It focuses particularly on Lars's work in Borneo, as he was recently in Kuching to give a presentation at the Gathering of the Tribes 2011, a cultural expo that brought together international tattooists and tribal performers from across Sarawak (Malaysian Borneo). It's a great read and includes a touching story on his visit to the last Iban tattoo artist, who was dying.
Inspired by the article, I just interviewed Lars myself for Skin & Ink. Of course his many adventures could not possibly fit in a limited word count, so I'm offering some bonus bits from our talk below.
As a kid, was there any indication that you'd follow the path you're on today? Were you playing archeologist as a child or poured over National Geographics?
Living in Mexico 1979-81, we traveled all over the country and I visited every Maya/Aztec/Zapotec archaeological complex, so I thought I was going to be an archaeologist, especially after "Raiders of the Lost Ark" dropped. It didn't hurt that my parents had a Nat Geo collection with every issue dating back to the early 50s (which I still have), and I took that love of archaeology and anthropology to college. I double majored in anthropology and art history at the University of Colorado at Boulder (1989-1993) and never looked back.
Was your interest in tattoo sparked during your graduate work at Univeristy of Alaska Fairbanks or beforehand?
After undergrad, I chased my (then) girlfriend to San Francisco in 1995 where I landed my first salaried job at Campbell-Thiebaud Gallery that was operated by Paul L. Thiebaud, the son of Pop Artist Wayne Thiebaud. Right around the corner was Don Ed Hardy's Tattoo City in North Beach so I used to peek in the window on my lunch breaks. Also, my good ole buddy Tony Barton (Hell or High Water Tattoos, New Orleans) was starting to tattoo at that time, and this provided the initial awareness and interest in tattoos. I left San Fran in January 1996 to pursue graduate work in Fairbanks, Alaska, and as I was walking across campus during the second week, I met an Inuit woman with tattoos on her chin. I was hooked at that point, wanted to know more, and that's when I became obsessed with documenting tribal tattoos.
What continues to motivate your research after all this time?
The main thing that motivates me is that these traditions are vanishing around the world before being accurately recorded. Time has always been my enemy, and I wish I would have been born 100 years ago.

They are calling for Danette Smith.
Like the anonymous comment above, they keep calling me, trying to collect money from someone else, who I don't even know. I've told them I'm not that person, but they continue to call.
keep calling the number show up as hasting don't know while they are calling
This is the third call. I previously asked them not to call again.
won't quit calling!
Multiple versions(651-304) of this number call twice a day. No voicemail.
The caller was in the Sales Department for USA Vacations, located in Florida. I called the number back to see if it was a real number. It was. Initially, the call was made by an automatic dialer. It stated that if I wished to talk to someone, I should push #1. I did this only to be able to obtain their number.
Also have the same problem. Calls numerous times a day never leaves a message. And calls at all hours day and night. Getting very annoying and unless you leave a message. I'm never going to answer.
When caller gets no answer, there is a whistle or other noise left on answering machine.
These people have to be stopped!! I am beginning to lose confidence in your service. I have received similar calls multiple times on both my mobile and home phones, both of which are registered. This time it was on my mobile phone. When I ask them to take me off their call list or I would report them, the person responded with threats and very profane language.
Answered, No Response.
they call 3-4 times a day and usually do not say anything when you answer!
This is the second time this company has called. I did press 1 and was advised by the recording that my number would be permanently removed. Apparently that wasn't true since I again received the same call.
These auto calls!

This is an excellent year in which to advance projects revolving around communications - writing, speaking, selling, and so forth. Your reputation may be enhanced through word of mouth. Making new contacts through learning and mental pursuits figures strongly as well.
Influencing you from January 2012 forward, Saturn transits square your Sun, which can be a rather sober influence, but also one that is certain to straighten you out on some level. As you face obstacles to your goals, you begin to see the tools with which you have to overcome them. A dose of realism may seem forced upon you during this period, but your efforts to measure up to expectations can ultimately increase your confidence in your ability to be responsible for yourself.
You might often get frustrated if results of your actions are not instant, but it's best to cultivate some patience when it comes to realizing your goals. As well, if you are not getting the results you crave, consider that you might be aiming too high or too wide. You might make some rather sweeping changes this year in an effort to change course towards a true calling or truer purpose.
You might enjoy increased influence, faith, and insight this year. The desire for more personal significance can motivate you to more ambitiously pursue personal or professional goals. The ability to sway or persuade can be enhanced. You might solve a problem that has been in existence for some time, or capitalize upon a resource that was previously hidden, and take steps towards self-improvement.
New contacts can be made through learning environments this year, and communications projects should be fruitful. A slow and steady approach to your life is especially appropriate this year, as pushing too hard can actually set you back.
2011 will be a Number Six year for you. Ruled by Venus. This is a year of relative contentment.

We seriously need money. Anything. A buck. Come ahhhn!
Oedipus Dreck
Madonna, Hard Candy (Warner Bros.)
Review by Eric Lingenfelter
Does anyone think about Madonna in "that way" anymore?
I don't mean like going online to look for the pictures from her early '90s nudist phase. I'm talking about looking at the 50-year-old sack of bones, sinew and gristle that is the Madonna of today and saying, "I'd hit it," without a hint of irony.
That's the image that Hard Candy sells. But does anyone buy it?
The video for lead single "4 Minutes" – in which Madonna and Justin Timberlake express their sterile, robotic lust for each other through the magic of interpretive dance – plays like an extravagantly budgeted MILF porn that cuts off before the (supposedly) good parts. Everyone involved is just going through the motions to collect a check, but hey! Sex! It sells, right?
If Tom Jones did this kind of thing with Carrie Underwood, the ocean itself wouldn't be able to contain the resultant worldwide pukealanche. But Madonna gets a free pass.
It's supremely creepy that this woman is trying to con the world into believing that men who are literally half her age would line up for miles around so that she could grind their pelvises into dust. The whole charade reeks of a particularly smelly brand of desperation.
But Madonna is nothing if not a shrewd businesswoman. Perhaps she's on to something here.
Major labels and their acts are sinking like dinosaurs into the tar pits of the Internet. Maybe the throngs of unimaginative gay men and milquetoast pseudo-feminists who cling to her in their desperate quest for identity aren't enough to keep her afloat anymore. Maybe she's using one of her infamous image makeovers in order to break some new ground, audience-wise.
One needs only to check out the album cover for evidence of her scheme.
By thrusting her half-century old crotch at us while dressed as a horrifying amalgam of John Cena and the Fabulous Moolah, Madonna seems to be trying to attract a demographic previously untapped by the music industry: wrestling fans with Oedipal yearnings.
World Wrestling Entertainment pulls in millions of viewers each week. According to WWE's corporate Web site, their shows are consistently among the week's top rated programs for the 18 to 34-year-old male demographic. And since people over the age of 12 who still enjoy watching gargantuan men in tights pretend to fight clearly exist in at least a mild state of arrested development, it's a fair bet that a good number of them have some unresolved mommy issues.
Kudos to Warner Bros. for this fantastic display of niche marketing. It's this kind of plucky thinking that'll keep the major label monolith alive for years to come.
So, if you do the Five Knuckle Shuffle while fantasizing about showing Mommy who da champ is, rejoice! Your shameful existence finally has a soundtrack.
Hard Candy gets a rating of one brooch and two puddles of blood, tears and vitreous humor.

Ways of life – The North factories versus the South plantations. State's Rights – North argued no state had a right to secede from the Union versus the South argued a state could leave the Union if it voted to do so. Tariff - Taxes were placed on many Southern goods that were shipped to foreign countries, an expense that was not always applied to Northern goods of equal value Union States: Union States There were 23 states which remained loyal to the Union during the war: California, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Wisconsin. The Union counted Virginia as well, and added Nevada and West Virginia. It added Tennessee, Louisiana, and other rebel states as soon as they were reconquered. The territories of Colorado, Dakota, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, and Washington also fought on the Union side.

As president he was also the Commander-in-chief of the Union Army. In 1863 he issued the Emancipation Proclamation which declared that all slaves in the Confederate States would be free. This helped end slavery in the United States. He wanted to honor all the soldiers who had lost their lives in the war so he gave a great speech called the Gettysburg Address. Photos: Tim Harrison & The Snuff Works, 1999 – 2003, http://www.swcivilwar.com Slide13: Jefferson Davis was the President of the Confederate States of America. He was the Commander-in-chief of the Confederate Army. He delivered his First Inaugural Address in Montgomery, Alabama on February 18, 1861. Davis remained passionately committed to the cause of the Confederacy, and advocated continuing the struggle right up until his capture near Irwinville, Georgia while fleeing capture by the Federal authorities on May 10, 1865.

I received 3 semesters of 13 week of medical school. There is much to do. I hardly sleep. I hear gun shots all night. Most of my time is mainly have to amputate body parts. I also have to rub morphine on more people wounds.There are so many disease like snake bit, yellow fever, and small pox. We have lost 110,070 died in battle. We have many people by disease JuwanSlide17: May 12,1862 I am a confederate surgeon working very hard this day. It is my day after 3 semesters of 13 weeks at medical school. Those long 2 years has finally left me here on the battle field. My assistant and I have already had to do amputations, give morphine, and remove bullets from skin and bones. Some of the major diseases are hypothermia, bacteria, snake bite, yellow fever, measles, typhoid fever, pneumonia, gonorrhea, small pox, malaria, bronchitis, scurvy, and diarrhea. So far 164,000 soldiers have died from disease. Many have died from being enlisted. We counted 1,317,035 from this. And 94,000 have died in battle. Most of our diseases are caused by filthy areas. If we had more surgeons maybe we could prevent these soldiers from being in pain and from dieing. There are not a lot of hospitals at all. In our field of medical surgeons, we have counted 4,000. While our spy counted 10,000 in the north. I hope this war is over soon because I can't take it any more! Transportation method AndrewSlide18: Belle Boyd Antonia Ford Spies of the North There are many different types of communication such as, Photography, Newspapers and Artist Sketches, Telegraph and Signal Towers. They also have famous spies, and a lot of them. There names are Sarah Bradiee Fulton, Emily Geiger, Belle Boyd, Antonia Ford, Nancy Hart, Mata Hari, Elizabeth Van Lew, Edith Cavell, and Virginia Hall. They also have two types of codes, the Mores code and the Cipher Disk. The Mores code is a bunch of dots and dashes that they back during the Civil War for a secret code.

Two of them are the cipher disk and Morse code. Spies were used to secretly look at the Union to find out what they were doing. Some of the spies were Emeline Pigott and Pauline Cushman.

I gave them cherries from a tree branch. It was very dangerous. There was bullets flying, and Artillery shells booming. It was freaky. MorganSlide21: Hi my name is Richard Wood. I'm just 11 years old, but I'm in the Civil War. Since I'm too young to carry a gun, I tended the wounded and dying. I'll go to Virginia and bury the dead southern soldiers. Right now I'm scared because the northern soldiers see me, They'll shoot me. So, I must hide and spy on the battle, which I think it's called espionage.

The type of economy we had was commercial market economy and free labor. Our trading systems were shipping, brokerage, insurance and other financial mediation for the trade centered in the north. We transported goods by the northern farmers who also depended upon exports, early railroads, desired reduced tariffs on imported iron. Our currency was demand notes, redeemable coins on demand in green color, and legal tender notes. This is how currency changed in the war. It changed from demand notes to legal notes.

Root Yes, we'll rally round the flag, boys, we'll rally once again, Shouting the battle cry of Freedom, We will rally from the hillside, we'll gather from the plain, Shouting the battle cry of Freedom. (Chorus) The Union forever, Hurrah! boys, hurrah! Down with the traitors, Up with the stars, While we rally round the flag, boys, Rally once again, Shouting the battle cry of Freedom. We are springing to the call of our brothers gone before, Shouting the battle cry of Freedom, And we'll fill our vacant ranks with a million freemen more, Shouting the battle cry of Freedom. (Chorus) We will welcome to our numbers the loyal, true and brave, Shouting the battle cry of Freedom, And although they may be poor, not a man shall be a slave, Shouting the battle cry of Freedom. (Chorus) So we're springing to the call from the East and from the West, Shouting the battle cry of Freedom, And we'll hurl the Rebel crew from the land that we love best, Shouting the battle cry of Freedom.

Love, Sean Slide32: The Shiloh Battle, or Pittsburg Landing, was a one day battle in Hardin County between General Grant and General Buell fighting for the Union and General Johnston and General Beauregard fighting for the Confederate. It took place on April 6-7, 1862. General Johnston planned on attacking General Grant on April 4, but attacked on April 6. He surprised the soldiers he was supposed to fight. The Confederacy lost because the Union combined with other forces. The battle of Antietam, or Sharpsburg, was fought between Major General George B. McClellan of the Union and General Robert E. Lee of the Confederate. This battle took place between September 16-18, 1862. General Lee's army in Sharpsburg, Maryland was confronted by General McClellan. Lee's left flank was experienced a powerful attack when Hooker's Corps attacked. September 17 was considered to be the single most bloodiest day in American military history. The result of this battle was a Union strategic victory. The battle of Vicksburg was an eighteen day battle in Warren County between General Grant, Union, and Lieutenant General Pemberton, Confederate.This battle began on May 18, 1863, and ended on July 4, 1863. General Grant's armies came together on Vicksburg, investing the city and entrapping a Confederate army under Lieutenant General Pemberton's control. On July 4, Vicksburg surrendered after prolonged siege operations. With the loss of Pemberton's army, in this important stronghold on the Mississippi River, the Confederacy was split in half. The reason of this battle was because General Grant took his army to Vicksburg. The result of this battle was another victory for the Union states. Gen. Robert E. Lee Gen. Ulysses S. Grant Confederate FlagSlide33: The battle of Gettysburg was a three-day battle in Adams County between General Meade of the Union, and General Lee of the Confederate. The battle started on July 1, 1863, when the Confederate forces focused on the town of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, driving Union defenders back through the streets to Cemetery Hill. During the night, reinforcements arrived for both sides. On July 2, 1863, General Lee tried to envelop a Union army, first striking the left flank at Peach Orchard, Wheat Field, Devil's Den, and the Round Top's with Longstreet's and Hill's divisions, and then attacking the Union's right flank at Culp's and East Cemetery Hills with Ewell's divisions. During the morning of July 3, 1863, the Confederate infantry were driven from their last toe-hold on Culp's Hill. The Union won with an estimated 23,000 losses. This battle of Chattanooga was a small, but big fight between General Braxton Bragg of the Confederate and Major General Ulysses S. Grant of the Union. In November 23-25, 1863, the battle was taking place. An attack was laid to the Union army by General Braxton's soldiers, cutting off the supplies of Major General Rosecran' s army. On November 23 and 24, the Union struck, capturing Orchard Knob and Lookout Mountain. This battle all took place in small Hamilton County, and Chattanooga, Tennessee. This small, but active battle was won by the Union. The battle of Petersburg, or the battle of Old Men and Young Boys, was fought on June 9, 1864, in the city of Petersburg, Virginia. Major General Quincy Gillmore of the Confederate and General P.G.T. Beauregard of the Union. Major General Benjamin Butler sent about 4,500 soldiers to fight against the small amount of only 2,500 Confederate defenders of Petersburg. After the fighting, Butler dropped out of the battle. This battle was won by the Confederate army. Jefferson Davis, President of the Confederacy Abraham Lincoln, President of the UnionSlide34: The South Reporter's Robert E.

Management systems are part of the family of reference standards created to facilitate dialogue between demand and supply, and designed to increase all-round understanding of the customer-supplier relationship. They trace out project management or environmental management guidelines, as well as mapping out the company's core functions and setting out framework documents such as instructions for use, contract templates and so on.
If you look closely, it seems like every business, regardless of its size or business sector, has some kind of management system. All management system standards are international-scope. They are as likely to focus explicitly on quality as they are on road safety or sustainable development.
By gaining control over all the intellectual input and practices that best contour the realities governing management systems, the AFNOR Group is able to offer its customers the sharpest tools for transforming the initiative to standardize a company's management system into a factor driving competitiveness.

10-29-04 - A former Honey Grove and Denison police officer has been arrested in connection to a drug bust. David Wayne Stanley, 36, of Bonham was arrested after an investigation by the Denison Police Department's narcotics team.
The arrest was made after officers stopped a pickup on a minor traffic violation. 40 grams of methamphetamine was found inside the truck's camper shell.
Stanley was an officer in Honey Grove in the early 90's and later served with Denison Police Department before resigning in 2001.

I always thought F1 was run in all weather conditions. Rain or shine. Other than monsoon like conditions, I don't recall qualifying or racing called because of rain. Rain will and does alter qualifying results, as well as race results. If the stewards were trying to eliminate the natural order of things, then they are wrong. If I want to watch contrived race results, then I'll start watching NASCAR. As for it being unsafe to run qualifying, driving to conditions will alleviate the safety concerns.

Consumer debt grew at a 10.2 percent annual rate, the Federal Reserve said, the fastest pace of growth since July 2011.
Producer prices posted their largest increase in 18 months years in April as the cost of food and trade services surged.
A fast-spreading scheme aims to steal users' Gmail passwords, and it appears to be able to get past most computer security systems.
Demand for craft-brewed beers has been strong, and that means the price for a particular type of hop is in short supply, sending the price for it soaring.
U.S. retail sales barely rose in April and a gauge of consumer spending slipped, which could temper hopes of a sharp acceleration in economic growth.
Small-business sentiment jumped to its highest level in 6-1/2 years in April, bolstering hopes of increased economic activity in the second quarter.
Small-business owners are keeping a cautious approach to running their companies even as they grow more optimistic, surveys show.
The number of Americans filing new claims for unemployment benefits fell more than expected last week, indicating the labor market was strengthening.
Average U.S. rates on fixed mortgages this week fell for a second straight week as the spring home-buying season has gotten off to a slow start.
Fed Chair Janet Yellen says the economy is improving but notes the job market remains unsatisfactory and inflation is still below the Fed's target rate.
Worker productivity fell at its fastest pace in a year in the first quarter as severe weather took its toll.
Applications for U.S. home mortgages climbed last week as interest rates fell, the Mortgage Bankers Association says.
Home prices rose at a slower pace in the year ending in March, a sign that weak sales have begun to restrain the housing market's sharp price gains.
The U.S. trade deficit narrowed in March as exports rebounded, but the improvement probably wasn't enough to help first-quarter growth.
Growth in the U.S. services sector accelerated in April, rising at the fastest pace in eight months as new orders jumped and overall activity quickened.
The Fed will likely bring its bond-buying program to an end in October, and only then will it weigh when to raise interest rates, a top Fed official says.
New orders for factory goods rose for a second straight month in March, suggesting strength in manufacturing and the broader economy at the end of March.
U.S. job growth increased at its fastest pace in more than two years in April and the unemployment rate dived to a 5-1/2 year low of 6.3 percent.

Signs that the U.S. economy is emerging from a deep winter freeze have raised hopes that hiring accelerated in April.
Construction spending rose slightly in March, fueled by increases for apartments, single-family homes, factories, health care centers and office projects.
Average U.S. rates on fixed mortgages declined slightly this week as the spring home-buying season has gotten off to a slow start.
Consumer spending recorded its largest increase in more than 4 years in March, cementing views the economy ended a dismal first-quarter on solid footing.

text: Hello! I am Melissa Kremer, born July 18, 1991 in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. I write teen fiction, and I currently live in Ontario, Canada in the Greater Toronto Area. I was born with Cerebral Palsy and I have a permanent physical disability. My beloved American Eskimo dog is Tuck, my service dog and loyal White Knight. I am currently attending York University, taking a double major in Biology and Computer Science. I had a lot of fun doing the cover and writing my book Midnight Angel, and I learned a lot while doing it too. If Midnight Angel is doing well, I will try to find time to write its sequels. There's certainly more to come, since I really love Midnight Angel! I wrote Midnight Angel in university, so I mostly wrote it on weekends and during the summer. I always had to put it on hold during exams, but I was always aching to get back to it. Sometimes when I was sitting in a boring lecture, a scene from Midnight Angel would come to mind, sometimes one I hadn't written yet, and a smile would come to my face. If you've read Midnight Angel, you've probably figured out that I'm a fast-paced writer, where something is going on almost every minute. This is true for all my writings, and probably always will be the case, so look out for some more action in my future books! If you've purchased my books, thank you for supporting me, and I hope you enjoyed it! If you haven't, I hope you'll give me a chance! I've babbled long enough, so thanks for your interest in me, and I hope you enjoy my writings if you choose to give them a try!

Crumble mix, icing sugar for cake, ordinary sugar doesn't make that much difference really Becks. You may get little specks as sugar is more granular but it will taste the same
Becks you can make any cake with ordinary granulated sugar, It's not often I bother with caster sugar, much more expensive, unless I want a light Victoria Sponge.Go for it.
What are you going to see Lottie? we saw Quartet on Tuesday, thought it was good.
Les Mis is the next on the list and I quite fancy seeing Lincoln.
Can you??? Well bugger me!! I always thought they would sink as the sugar is heavier! Isn't it?? I'm a happy bunny now! Thankies lovelies! x
It's all down to the beating you give it Becks
Becks, as Bjay says, might make the consistency a little less smooth, but no difference in taste whatsoever. Just use same amount of granulated in the recipe as you would caster sugar. Have fun baking!
Going to see Quartet this evening. I'd like to see Les Mis but my friend isn't feeling all that perky at the moment and doesn't want to go and see something that might make her cry!
I actually fancy making some scones, but never done it before? Are they easy? Only the basic ones.
Are we talking baking again-oh goody-I'll get me drill
Yep Very. Hang on amo and I'll find you a foolproof recipe. Back in a tick
Cant do scones at all Becks, sorry. I was going to say if you've a food processor or similar you can 'zap' granulated sugar into finer grains which is all caster sugar is.
2 big boxes of photos down to 1! After tea may bite the bullet & get a carrier bag down - of my Mum's things that I couldnt do in '96, nor '011 but really should be done. Daughter on hand to pick up the pieces. J.
That was quuicker than i thought. These are easy, and always delicious, don't forget to sour milk though
Ah, I haven't got baking powder though. Will try this one..
I can do that jo!
All this talk of cake ... I mustn't succumb or I'll be a FloFatFairy again
Maybe I'll borrow Geoff's drill and put up a shelf to take my mind off eating
Doesn't mustn't look odd with two t's in? Musn't would look better.
...or maybe not
Is it safe now to return?-does anybody want to talk about Top Gear-it is back soon-end of the month-that is a programme for the boys-something to look forward to?
Flo-you may have to seek professional help
Radio Times has a list of programs to look forward to in 2013...
Yo! Dudes! I have been playing out!
I have stained! (Leave it Geoff!) n one path done!
But must admit it as been bloody cold!
Ho! n Geoff, Beck's, Gary! Check out the HP Envy x 2! Reviews please guys!
Can't do a post on this old bag of bones machine!
That looks so nice Dean!
I hate staining fences, boring, hard work so well done to you Dean.
Dinners ready, got to go. - yummy stuff today
Lookin' good Deano! You need a nice hot curry to warm you up now
Dean, had a look at about 4 or 5 sites, and most the reviews pretty much say the same. Lot of money for low performance.
The HP Envy X2 provides Windows 8 touchscreen fun from a sleek and stylish body. Its ability to act as both stand-alone tablet and laptop is undeniably handy.
But it's let down by extremely disappointing performance and a low-resolution screen that are in no way justified by the high price tag. Regardless of what type of Windows 8 machine you're looking for, your money can be better spent elsewhere.
And at £800, I agree, although I must say, I would always go for HP.

Da Vinci decoded for travelers
Now you too can follow in the steps of Dan Brown's symbologist hero Robert Langdon, star of The Da Vinci Code. And you don't even have to grown your own mullet—a la Tom Hanks—to do so. That's because guidebook publisher Fodor's is set to release its own Guide to the Da Vinci Code later this month.
You may think this is a completely, utterly, totally ridiculous (though probably very profitable) publishing proposition. And you'd be right. Then again, at $15 the book is still about $460 cheaper than hiring your own Da Vinci Code guide to show you around Paris.

text: 07 February 2012 University of Glamorgan signs $3million sponsorship deal University of Glamorgan signs $3million sponsorship deal The University of Glamorgan has signed a sponsorship deal worth in excess of $3million that will enable electronics engineering students to experience the cutting edge of digital design. The sponsorship deal takes the form of software licences and support for the latest electronic design tools. It is one of only four UK universities that have been granted permission to use the software and one of sixty in the world. The company supplying the tools, Calypto Design Systems is a specialist in electronic design automation. 20 copies of the Catapult C toolset have been donated to the University, each of which has a commercial value of $150,000 a copy. The tools are designed to enable companies to develop advanced electronic products, such as next generation smartphones, quicker and more cost effectively and help engineers address design challenges in board and chip design. Iain Shewring from the Faculty of Advanced Technology at the University, said: "As digital designs have massively increased in complexity in the last 10 years, the tools and methodologies have also had to radically change: these tools are the outcome of this requirement and this sponsorship offers our students a unique opportunity to experience the cutting edge of digital design." Shawn McCloud, vice president of Marketing at Calypto Design Systems, added: "Very few universities have been allowed access to these tools, so this new sponsorship deal gives Glamorgan graduates a competitive edge over their peers. Our donation of high level synthesis tools will result in a big payback because this is where our customers will find the best resource for hiring the next generation of talented engineers."

VOCM having major problems with its phone system
We can all expect technical glitches on live radio but this is too much.
Over the last week or so, VOCM has been plagued by technical difficulties on its telephone lines.
The audio drops out with startling regularity. It sounds like the caller has just uttered a profanity, or slandered a local business, and the seven-second delay measure was triggered, blocking the offensive statement.
But that has not been the case. It is happening to the friendliest of voices, speaking on the most mundane of topics. And it has been happening with some regularity.
This morning, more problems. At one point, the line went dead. No sound at all. Then we could hear Bill Rowe (who is filling in for Randy Simms) and the caller, but they couldnt hear each other.
Last week, it was a different, far more bizarre problem. The live feed actually went live for a painfully long stretch of time, rendering the conversation unintelligible. That is, every word spoken by the host and caller was replayed again, seven seconds later, creating the surreal experience of two Randy Simms talking at once.
This kind of thing has happened intermittently with advertising, when two ads are played at the same time, ruining both ads. But it's even stranger when you hear Simms talking over himself.
I just know that, behind the scenes, technicians must have been in a sweat, scrambling to find and fix the problem, while managers were pacing and yelling in the background.
When the telephone lines are crucial to your radio programming for so many hours of the day, youve got to have a reliable, functional system in place. (And, yes, I know that the problem is probably lurking deep within their computer system, but the phone calls are where the problem rears its head.)
The problems are not there all the time, but they occur with increasing frequency and can last for minutes at a time, which is an eternity in live radio.
VOCM has to fix this, and soon.

When seeking to understand some of the issues with today's school lunches, we thought we'd go straight to a top U.S. "lunch lady." Joni Davis, Child Nutrition Supervisor for the Sioux Falls, South Dakota School District accepted a Bronze Award in the USDA's Healthier U.S. School Challenge as she attended a White House reception hosted by First Lady Michelle Obama to recognize the accomplishment. Best Food Facts spoke with Joni to get her thoughts on the importance of providing healthful diets for our school children.
Best Food Facts: You were awarded the bronze award from the USDA's Healthier U.S. School Challenge and attended a White House reception with Michelle Obama in recognition of improvement in the quality of your school district's meals. What kinds of things did you implement to earn this distinction?
Davis: The USDA's Healthier U.S. School Challenge provided us the opportunity to document some of the things we've been doing over the last few years. We've been working to improve not only the nutrition but the physical activity of our school environment. We've reduced fat in our meats and in the milk. We've worked to get a steady supply of fruits and vegetables when we can as well as whole grains and legumes.
Michelle Obama
Best Food Facts: How has this been received by your students?
Davis: We joke with our students that we're trying to make beans and legumes our friends. We've taken it kind of slow and gradually introduced new items to the kids. We've held student taste-testing sessions to get their input. They say it takes 15 tries before a person decides whether they like something or not and so far things are going very well for us in providing healthier options for our students.
Best Food Facts: In your opinion, how big is the childhood nutrition problem in the United States?
Davis: It's very real. Statistics tell us that one-third of U.S. adults and 17 percent of our children are overweight. A group of military leaders recently sent a letter to President Obama saying the physical condition of new recruits is a national concern because they are unable to accept so many into the military because they are overweight.
When we look at some of the health issues adults in the U.S. are facing such as diabetes, high blood pressure and cholesterol brought on by lifestyle choices, it drives home the point that we need to help our children make good choices now so they can avoid these kinds of problems. Our goal should be to give our children the healthiest start possible.
Best Food Facts: What are your thoughts on the First Lady's efforts in improving childhood nutrition?
Davis: It's very exciting that Michelle Obama has gotten involved in this area. She's a mother and wants her kids to be happy, healthy and successful and it's something all parents can relate to. To have someone of her stature start the conversation at the national level – just getting us all to talk about it – is a huge plus.
Best Food Facts: In 2010 the Los Angeles Unified School District, which serves up to 650,000 meals daily, replaced things such as flavored milk, chicken nuggets, corn dogs, and nachos with healthier options. The Los Angeles Times reported the move was a flop as school lunch participation dropped significantly. What are your thoughts on what happened there?
Davis: Sometimes it's tough to be a leader. It's hard to make the changes that you know are needed for our children's future health. In the school lunch program success and failure is determined by how many kids join you for lunch. When those numbers drop it's a great concern. It's difficult to make these kinds of changes and bring the whole community along with you and help them understand why such changes are needed.
I have great empathy for them. We're all fighting this battle in different ways. It's easy to prepare a menu that you know the kids will like. It's more difficult to get the variety into their diets so you can help them be successful and healthy.
Best Food Facts: What's your advice to parents who would like to improve their children's nutritional habits?
Davis: I think the key is to recognize that this is a journey. It's not something that can be accomplished overnight. Establish a goal of working more fruits and vegetables into your diet. It's an easy way to start. Kids need role models and need to see adults making healthy choices.
