Celebrating 250 Years of Salem
George Washington's visit to Old Salem
From WXII last week, a bit more about Salem's most famous visitor.
One of Salem, North Carolina's most famous guests was President George Washington, who paid a historic visit to the town 225 years ago. In 1791, Washington toured the southern states to complete an inaugural promise of visiting every state that ratified the constitution. As part of the tour, he wanted to create a bond between citizens and the federal government. In an age long before phones, television, radio, and the internet, face-to-face interaction was essential. In addition, Washington felt that in-person visits were fitting for a President of a Republic, as a representative of the people, and were a way to distance the new government from a monarchy. As one of the newer states, North Carolina was an important stop on his tour.
He arrived in Salem on May 31 and was greeted by a brass band—trumpets, French horns, and trombones. During his visit, he studied the waterworks system, visited the choir houses and schools and the "place of worship," and spoke to the townspeople. Washington was familiar with the Moravians, two of his nieces attended the Moravian school in Bethlehem, and admired their order, discipline, structure and self-sufficiency.
Old Salem is celebrating this momentous visit at their Spring Festival: A Visit with George Washington on May 21. There will be hands-on activities, historic demonstrations, and a visit with George Washington, himself, as re-enacted by Dean Malissa. Malissa is the official historical portrayer of George Washington at Mount Vernon. His scholarship and research about Washington, combined with his natural charisma, allow him to embody President Washington and bring the man and his history to life. In addition. Old Salem will have historic fire engine drills, hearth cooking, make and taste opportunities, and much more for the whole family! For more information, visit oldsalem.org.
Did you know?
That Old Salem is growing a cucumber in its gardens from seeds that trace back nearly 150 years. Uncle Jim Schutt's heirloom cucumber seeds were donated to Old Salem in 2014 by a family with deep Moravian roots. A family heirloom from at least the 1870s, and likely earlier, this cucumber has been grown over multiple generations. In this family, cucumber seed was saved at the end of the summer, and the seed cucumbers were "laid under a tree for a bit." They didn't realize it was special to save seed but "thought everyone did."
Seed saving is an important part of the Old Salem Horticulture Program's commitment to sustainability. Traditionally seed saving was part of every growing season; however, lifestyle changes have diminished this ancient practice. Older plant varieties offer many advantages over the newer hybrids, including taste and scent. For example, many of the heirloom flower varieties have wonderful fragrance that has been lost in the process of hybridization.
You can buy Heirloom Plants and Seeds at Old Salem's Garden Shop at T. Bagge.

Trades in Salem
Although only Moravians lived in Salem, it was an important center for commerce and trades in the region. Moravian and non-Moravian visitors and neighbors came to Salem to purchase goods and services, and their support was critical to the success of the community. Many of the Moravians who settled in Salem were talented artisans who created objects for everyday use as well as decorative items. At the age of 14, many boys moved into the Single Brothers' House and, following the traditional apprenticeship system practiced in Europe, worked with craftsmen in the town to learn a trade.
During a trip to Old Salem today, visitors can see a variety of historic trades being practiced just as they would have been in the18th and 19th centuries, including: Tailor: The tailor made garments for the men of Salem and had the difficult balancing act of trying to stay in tune with the latest fashions while also following the directions of the Moravian elders about what attire was appropriate. At times, when the tailor had more work than he could handle, Sisters were enlisted to help with the sewing, although this sometimes caused minor tensions between the tailor and the Sisters. Shoemaker: A visit to the shoemaker's shop in Old Salem offers a glimpse into the tools (lasts, hammers, awls) and methods used in the early 19th century to make shoes. Shoes were made from leather on a "straight last," which means the shoes are symmetrical. Over time, they stretched to fit the contours of the feet. Potter: Salem's pottery was held in high regard throughout the Carolinas because it was not only durable but also beautiful. Pottery-making was the largest commercial enterprise in Salem and included crafting dishes, tableware, storage jars, and more. Salem's potters also experimented with a variety of glazing techniques including tinglazing (faience), which was rarely used in America at that time. Joiner: Woodworkers were essential to life in early Salem and were skilled in carpentry and cabinetmaking. They made tables, chairs, shelves, desks, case goods, window sashes, and doors for the residents. The Joiners' products reflected their German origins in their proportions and simplicity of form. These craftsmen took great pride in producing items that were beautiful and used finely grained wood, turned and carved details, and elaborate moldings.

Looking forward to a road trip to Winston-Salem at the beautiful Old Salem Museums & Gardens to keynote the City of Winston-Salem City Government Appearance Awards on June 8th. The empirical evidence is clear that place appearance isn't extra but integral to many individual and macro outcomes, regardless of place economy. It is our first and our most constant source of pride of place which is foundational to creating belonging, attachment and place match.
Even though I was raised in the High Point/Jamestown area, I was actually born in Winston-Salem and have many childhood memories of Old Salem. So I'm honored by the invitation to celebrate the journey and success of this place, which was my first place if only at the very beginning of my life.

Broadway honored its own at the 2008 Tony Awards ceremony for theatrical excellence held Sunday at New York's Radio City Music Hall. And, as anticipated, it turned out to be a great night for Bartlett Sher, artistic head of Seattle's Intiman Theatre and director of this season's blockbuster Broadway revival of "South Pacific."
Sher took home his first Tony for staging "South Pacific" at Lincoln Center Theater, also honored as best musical revival of the season and awarded five additional Tonys for best leading actor in a musical (the charismatic opera singer Paolo Szot), lighting, costumes, sound and sets.
Other big winners of the evening: "In the Heights," a vibrant, salsa-fueled show which received Tonys as best new musical and for best score, bestowed on its dynamic young star and creator, Lin-Manuel Miranda.
The family dysfunction opus "August: Osage County" by Tracy Letts was named "best new play" and received acting honors for its lead and featured actresses, respectively, Deanna Dunagan and Rondi Reed. And "Boeing Boeing," a revived Franco-British farce, earned Tonys as the "best play revival" and for its male star, Mark Rylance.

Patti LuPone, as expected, won the "best actress in a musical" Tony for her tough-love turn as the stage mama Rose in "Gypsy" — the show that was the main competitor of "South Pacific" for the best musical revival prize.
But no one had more to celebrate than Sher, who has had two previous nominations (for directing the musical "The Light in the Piazza," which originated at Intiman, and a revival of "Awake and Sing!" by Clifford Odets).
Sher began his acceptance speech with a nod to the original creators of "South Pacific" — composer Richard Rodgers, co-author and lyricist Oscar Hammerstein II, co-author and director Joshua Logan and novelist James Michener (whose short stories inspired the 1949 musical drama).
"They were kind of incredible men, because they seemed to teach me … that in a way I wasn't only an artist but I was also a citizen," Sher said.
Sher's win catapults him to the top of the A-list of Broadway directors. Though he moved recently from Seattle to New York, and has various Big Apple projects in the works (including a new musical about martial-arts superstar Bruce Lee), Sher is contracted through 2009 to head Intiman, where he just staged the new play "Namaste Man."
Asked if his win helps his hometown company he said, "Of course it does — it helps us attract better artists, better producers and other things down the road." He also mentioned that Intiman will develop "a big Disney musical next year," with the title to be revealed later.
Broadcast live on the East Coast, and via tape-delay to the Pacific Coast, the three-hour Tony ceremony was, as always, an extended infomercial for Broadway's wares.
This year's telecast was hosted by Broadway veteran Whoopi Goldberg, taking a cue from her former Oscar emcee duties by appearing in several elaborate theatrical guises — i.e., as Mary Poppins in flight and as a crab in "The Little Mermaid."
The show packed in production numbers from the best-musical nominees, and some that were not nominated for that category — including a bawdy bit from Mel Brooks' "Young Frankenstein," which had its pre-Broadway premiere last year at Seattle's Paramount Theatre.
Last note: Though musicals took center stage at the Tonys, of the 36 productions offered in the 2007-08 season an unusually high number (23) were plays.

Patient Comments: Restless Leg Syndrome - Symptoms
What symptoms did you experience with your restless leg syndrome (RLS)?
Comment from: Pretty Redd, 35-44 Male (Patient) Published: May 25
I found out that using Sergeant's Skip-Flea and Tick shampoo for dogs and puppies cleared my scabies up. Take a shower morning and at night using this shampoo. This shampoo is inexpensive and gets the job done. It has 10 percent of permethrin in it. As of this day I still use it to avoid re-infestation.
Comment from: Lisa, 65-74 Female (Patient) Published: May 16
I have had 6 deep vein thromboses (DVTs) in my right leg and one in my lady parts after a tubal ligation 18 years ago. I now have been getting phlebitis. I don't experience pain, but my leg looks discolored, purple/blue and there are spots where the blood pools. I take two blood thinners and am constantly at the doctor's. My doctor looked away after seeing my leg. I am 50. I should not be dealing with all this. I move around all the time and I am not sedentary. It's so upsetting to see my once nice legs look beat up and almost bruised. I am looking for a solution for getting rid of the phlebitis. My veins are popped out, my knee has a knot in it and my ankle looks terrible.
Comment from: Shar, 55-64 Female (Patient) Published: February 03
I came home with a backache and very tired! I tried to eat supper but only ate half of my supper! I got up at 3:00 am with a fever, pain in all my joints, diarrhea and felt like I had the flu! I was sick with diarrhea all day the next day and called the doctor. The doctor saw me the following day and said I had a gastro virus and to eat a bland diet, bananas, rice, applesauce and toast, and drink a lot of liquids! I did but every time I ate I was on the toilet with cramping and diarrhea! I have had this gastroenteritis since this past Tuesday and it is Sunday and I am still crampy and in the bathroom all the time! It really is scaring me because I cannot hold anything! I don't know how long I should wait to go for other tests.
Comment from: Bektreks, 25-34 Female (Patient) Published: October 14
I have suffered with restless leg syndrome (RLS) from childhood and so has my mother. She suggested I stand on a cold floor, and move around for a few minutes. But this only helps on the very mild nights. The only thing I have found to work is Tiger Balm. I rub a large amount from my knees to my toes and it relieves my legs within minutes. I would never be without it or a similar product which produces such a deep heat.
Comment from: Mary, 65-74 Female (Patient) Published: September 16
As a child I had 'growing pains' and my mother used to rub my legs to ease the pain during the night. I first had what I called 'jumpy legs' during my first pregnancy. I had no idea what this was. I have had this condition since I was 21 and it can occur at any time. Mainly when I am sitting, at a show or movies, and at night. It drives me crazy. Only recently it has been discovered as restless legs syndrome (RLS) and after thinking I was going mad I am relieved that this is actually something that a lot of people suffer from. My doctor has prescribed Xanax which can help but do not want to use this as it is addictive. My mother had it, my daughter and now my granddaughters! I find a warm shower helps, especially through the night - sometimes I have three showers! I was prescribed OxyContin when I had a hip repair, and it helped with my RLS. Of course the doctor is reluctant to prescribe this narcotic. It feels as if my legs have a mind of their own and twitch, jump etc. Just recently when it is bad I have had it in my arms as well. I believe that it is a condition that appears to fall down the female line in families. I don't want to experiment with many drugs. I find doing something that interests you will take your mind off it, i.e. sewing or knitting (as I did when I was pregnant). I think it is a terrible condition. I will only fly business or first on long flights, as it is dreadful when flying or when you are stuck in one place for long periods of time.
Comment from: fredie, 55-64 Female (Patient) Published: December 23
It was great reading the stories of others with cauda equina syndrome (CES). The crazy thing about it is they the articles say this is a rare thing, yet many have it. In February of 2015 I came away from an accident that I should have not. Had I been 3 inches taller I wouldn't have. I got an L1 bust out of the deal. Two days after surgery I could walk but had no bowel or bladder control. It has been 11 months and they have yet to return. The loss of sexual feelings is a hard pill to swallow. I ended a 30 year marriage because of lack of sex. This CES far worse than that. It is sometimes a blessing to cheat death and an injury like this gives one the hard lessons which are sometimes needed. With CES one doesn't know their bowels have released until everyone else knows. Thank you for the great stories because as rare as they say this is, it sure seems like there is a lot of us in the same boat.

Additional Information
About Women and Associations for Gain both Economic and SocialThis loan is administered by Women and Associations for Gain both Economic and Social (WAGES), Togo's second-largest microfinance institution. Along with a wide range of savings and loan products, WAGES offers its clients training programs in basic literacy, health care (HIV/AIDS and malaria), and business-related subjects (business management, marketing, accounting). You can show your support for WAGES by joining its lending team!
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.
Loan tags help lenders find loans that match certain areas of interest. You can add up to 5 tags for this loan.

Traveling can be a stressful experience—whether we're going through airport security or catching a subway during rush hour. After spilling the contents of our purse in public one too many times, we turned to tili's stylish reusable bags. They're small enough to fit inside your purse or carry-on but large enough to hold all your lip glosses, loose change, or travel-sized toiletries. Each pack comes in three colorful varieties.
It's cute that it's decorated, but when it comes down to it, it's just a ziploc bag. I am planning on using it for my cosmetics the next time I travel, and I'm curious to see if it will hold up better than just a plain jane ziploc. It seems a little heavier dutier, but I'm still a little suspicious. I might buy more in the future, after I put this one to some major tests to see that it's strength is worth it.3
Well, as far as plastic bags go, it's more attractive than average, but I don't think I need/want a cute plastic bag. I have plenty of small cloth bags and reusable containers I use, and they suit me fine. Put these patterns on a cloth bag: I'm in.
Maybe I'll make someone an extra, super fancy time sandwich?

Finding files with grep
Grokking Grep
Once you understand the intricacies of grep, you can find just about anything.
Finding files has always been a priority in computing. Now, with hard drives of three or more terabytes becoming the norm, finding files is more important than ever. Yet, of all the commands developed to perform this task, few can match for sheer power one of the oldest solutions of all: grep and its family of related commands. For almost 40 years now, grep has been a standard command on Unixlike systems for searching text files for lines that match a certain pattern, and its usefulness shows no signs of disappearing.

Fast, quiet with muscle to spare
This review is from: HP Desktop PC Pavilion A6430F(KJ378AA) Phenom X3 8400 (2.1 GHz) 3 GB DDR2 640 GB HDD Windows Vista Home Premium
Pros: I got one of these recertified. I dabble in audio and video production and I had upgraded my previous PC as far as I could. I was opting between building my own and a commercial PC I'd have to tweak and upgrade later, and I opted for this HP, but the recertified one. If you have any dear or doubt about recertified systems put them to rest. It's blazingly fast, and so far is rock solid. No problems in migrating all my audio and video software and hard peripherals to Vista. It used to take Sony Vegas 30 seconds of more to boot up. Now it takes 3-4 seconds. I won't quote the price I got it for, but it was a steal!
Cons: PSU (300W)
Other Thoughts: The best thing I can say about it is, it's quiet! Thinking my ears were mistaken, I turned off the ceiling fan, the fan in the next room, and my D-Link NAS which remits a slight hum. You could hear a pin drop. I've never gotten a commerical PC that was this quiet. It always required additional upgrades, tweaks and padding to kill or muffle noise, which is critical for audio work especially if you're recording live. Hats off to HP for achieving out the box what I typically go to great means to eliminate.

pretty nice set
This review is from: HP Desktop PC Pavilion A6430F(KJ378AA) Phenom X3 8400 (2.1 GHz) 3 GB DDR2 640 GB HDD Windows Vista Home Premium
Pros: runs smooth, doesnt get overpowered by simple operations, i bought a 24 inch HD flatscreen to upgrade and changing it over to the new screen and resolution was very simple, the media ports on the top of the unit work perfectly without hassle, the additional ports on the front of the machine help ease of use a lot
Cons: the keyboard it comes with is average at best and the mouse is pretty bad for the most part, it was bearable at first but i had to get a new mouse within 3 weeks, the video card is pretty lacking if youre planning on playing anything less than a two year old game
Other Thoughts: if all youre doing is just simple tasts, surfing the web, simple home stuff, this computer is about the best you can get, ive had it for almost a year now and the only problems are ones from my lack of experience in certain ways, if you want to play games, just add memory and a good video card and you'll be set

This review is from: HP Desktop PC Pavilion A6430F(KJ378AA) Phenom X3 8400 (2.1 GHz) 3 GB DDR2 640 GB HDD Windows Vista Home Premium
Pros: Good speed, good video cards, over-all good computer for the costs. The keyboard is a little bit different but once you get used to where the home, end, delete, and page up/down buttons are it's a good buy.
Cons: Vista, because everyone loves spending time uninstalling that resource hog.
Other Thoughts: The mouse that came with the computer is garbage, don't expect it to come with a mouse unless you like being able to click both the left and mouse buttons without even trying (HP's mouse is one constant flow, as if the left and right mouse button are one with the rest of the mouse).

This review is from: HP Desktop PC Pavilion A6430F(KJ378AA) Phenom X3 8400 (2.1 GHz) 3 GB DDR2 640 GB HDD Windows Vista Home Premium
Pros: Absolutely perfect for the casual computer user. Runs vista with all the visual effects smoothly. Didn't take more than an hour to trash all the garbage these systems come with, but that was well worth it for the price, and performance I've received from it.
Cons: If all you want to do is play on the internet and maybe store music and all that basic stuff, there really isn't one bad thing about this computer.
Other Thoughts: The hard drive space being divided into two drives is nice. I'm OCD about organization. Or if you wanted to get snazzy, you can do a duel boot. That's probably not something someone who would buy this computer would do... but hey, the option is there. Good opportunity to learn Ubuntu or something, y'know?

Obama tries to get back health care momentum
He fights 'scare tactics' in effort to quell public fears
PORTSMOUTH, N.H. — President Barack Obama launched a personal effort to reclaim the momentum for his health care initiative yesterday with a direct rebuttal of what he called "scare tactics," rumors and misrepresentations.
At a town hall that had the feel of a campaign rally, administration officials sought to tap the skill in confronting public doubts and fears that helped Obama win the White House. Aides who helped direct his campaign are now working to sharpen his health care message, they said.
"Every time we come close to passing health insurance reform, the special interests fight back with everything they've got," Obama told a friendly crowd of 1,800. "They use their influence. They use their political allies to scare and mislead the American people. They start running ads. This is what they always do. We can't let them do it again. Not this time. Not now."
Obama delivered the message as anger flared outside his event and at congressional town halls across the country, sentiments the president's top advisers say they take seriously even as they decry what they view as a mix of genuine outrage and ginned-up activism.
As Obama spoke, protesters outside held posters declaring him a socialist and dubbing him "Obamahdinejad" after the Iranian president. People screamed into bullhorns to protest a bigger government role in health care.
"Nobama Deathcare!" one sign read. A young girl held up another sign that read: "Obama Lies, Grandma Dies."
Senior adviser David Axelrod said the president had for weeks been "relishing" the opportunity to engage directly with people to defend his efforts to overhaul the nation's health care system.
"His instinct whenever there is controversy or debate is to wade in and speak directly to people," Axelrod said. "There is a whole lot of misinformation out there. The best way to deal with it is directly."
Axelrod said the angry crowds at congressional town meetings do not reflect the larger society.
"Most Americans are interested and concerned about this issue and are listening intently," he said. "There are people on all sides of the debate who are a little over the edge. They tend to be the best TV."
In Pennsylvania, Sen. Arlen Specter, D-Pa., faced an unruly audience that booed and jeered as he attempted to respond to accusations that the health care legislation pending in Congress would allow government to deny them care, steal money from their bank accounts and obliterate private insurance.
"You can do whatever the hell you please to do," one angry man yelled at Specter. "One day God's going to stand before you, and he's going to judge you and the rest of your damned cronies up on the Hill. And then you'll get your just desserts."
In Smyrna, Ga., a swastika was found painted on a sign outside Rep. David Scott's district office, an act the Georgia Democrat said reflects an increasingly hateful and racist debate over health care and should serve as a reminder for people to tone down their rhetoric.
Yesterday's town hall was the start of what White House officials promise will be a more pointed response to the crescendo of what Obama called "misinformation" coming from the critics of his health reform efforts.
White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel argued that the contrast between Obama — whom he described as "reasoned, calm, looking like an adult in the room" — and some of the more bombastic protesters would also work to the administration's advantage in the debate.
"I think the public looks at screaming, swastikas, attacks. . . . It's not a persuasive argument," Emanuel said yesterday. "If anything, it is the opposite."

Is nothing in TV or film sacred anymore? Thanks to a $45 million dollar payout, 007 is ditching his vodka martinis for a Heineken!!
There have been many famous examples of product placements in films. Fex-Ex in Cast Away, Reese's Pieces in E.T., White Castle has even been in the title and been a major plot line of the film Harold & Kumar go to White Castle, however, none of those films had a long running history or standard behind them. Aspects that were considered constants for the character of James Bond, even when the actors playing the character changed (or he regenerated, whichever is your perspective). The recent James Bond films have even gotten into the act with Sony and Nokia placements, and the first major act of sacrilege with the BMW in GoldenEye. In fact, BMW paid $3 million to have their BMW Z3 Roadster driven by 007, after he had been attached to the Aston Martin for years. That $3 million proved to be a solid investment though, because in 1995, the year GoldenEye came out, BMW made $240 million in advance sales of the Roadster.
With this weeks announcement though, one of the longest running constants, and possibly the most well known aspect of the character is being altered, just for product placement. In the upcoming movie Skyfall, 007 won't ask for his usual martini, "shaken, not stirred" but will instead ask for a Heineken.
Consider this, you go to a costume party, dress up in a tux, you could be anyone, until you order a martini, shaken, not stirred. Now, you're James Bond! What happens when you order a Heineken wearing the same tux? You're still just a guy in a tux, drinking a beer.

Taboo in America
A sense of the collective was alien to most Americans. Not so surprising. All that shovelling individualism down their throats.
Social class depended on the relationship to the means of production. If you owned the factories and businesses, you were in the capitalist class.
If you were a worker in a factort, you were in the working class. Workers were taught a false consciousness [ideology]. A belief system that justifies inequality.
Workers were persuaded everyone had the same opportunity to succeed. If someone were in poverty, it was his own fault. He was lazy and unmotivated.
Workers exhibited a false consciousness by identifying more with the capitalist class than with members of their own rank.
Workers had to unite and develop a class consciousness. A feeling of unity with one's class and the belief that inequality was unjust.
Social class was the wallpaper in America's front rooms. Classism was rarely used to describe class discrimination. Yet the so-called underclass were labeled inferior.
Whiteness was the distinction many clung to when they had nothing else. Yet poor whites always had more in common with poor blacks than with anyone else.
'White trash' were the primary targets of the eugenics movement. Sterilization would prevent the cycle of poverty and ignorance.

A CRITIC must try to avoid being a prisoner of his time, and if we are to appreciate Oliver Twist at its full value we must forget that long shelf-load of books, all the stifling importance of a great author, the scandals and the controversies of the private life; it would be well too if we could forget the Phiz and the Cruikshank illustrations that have frozen the excited, excitable world of Dickens into a hall of waxworks, where Mr. Mantalini's whiskers have always the same trim, where Mr. Pickwick perpetually turns up the tails of his coat, and in the Chamber of Horrors Fagin crouches over an undying fire. His illustrators, brilliant craftsmen though they were, did Dickens a disservice, for no character any more will walk for the first time into our memory as we ourselves imagine him, and our imagination after all has just as much claim to truth as Cruikshank's.
Nevertheless the effort to go back is well worth while. The journey is only a little more than a hundred years long, and at the other end of the road is a young author whose sole claim to renown in 1837 had been the publication of some journalistic sketches and a number of comic operas: The Strange Gentleman, The Village Coquette, Is She His Wife? -- I doubt whether any literary Cortez at that date would have yet stood them upon his shelves. Then suddenly with The Pickwick Papers came popularity and fame. Fame falls like a dead hand on an author's shoulder, and it is well for him when it falls only in later life. How many in Dickens's place would have withstood what James called 'the great corrupting contact of the public,' the popularity founded, as it almost always is, on the weakness and not the strength of an author?
The young Dickens, at the age of twenty-five, had hit on a mine that paid him a tremendous dividend. Fielding and

AL to Albert G. Hodges:
Albert G. Hodges, editor of the Frankfort, Kentucky, Commonwealth, asked Lincoln to write out the substance of his remarks at an earlier meeting with Hodges, Kentucky governor Thomas E. Bramlette, a War Democrat, and Archibald Dixon, a former Whig Kentucky U.S. senator. The three men had visited the president because of intense opposition in their state over the recruitment of slaves into the Union army. As a border state, Kentucky retained its more than 225,000 slaves, and whites used every means possible, including murder, to halt the recruitment of their "property." When he first learned that the army intended to recruit Kentucky slaves, the governor predicted that the state would never see another day of peace. Despite intense white opposition, astonishingly, about 60 percent of the state's black men of military age served in the Union army. In words that countless biographers have cited, Lincoln had proclaimed his abhorrence of slavery: "I am naturally anti-slavery. If slavery is not wrong, nothing is wrong." The president, however, assured the Kentuckians that his personal feelings about the immorality of slavery had nothing to do with his oath as president to "preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States." No other issue, not even that of emancipation, would jeopardize his absolute commitment to the integrity of the nation. For Lincoln, as he had stated openly in his letter to Horace Greeley, the preservation of the Union and its principles remained the paramount duty of his presidency. To ease the Kentuckians' concerns, Lincoln reminded them that he had rejected emancipation by military force under General John C. Frémont early in the war in Missouri. He even opposed secretary of war Simon Cameron's desire to recruit black troops: "I objected, because I did not yet think it an indispensable necessity." Instead, he preferred to request that border state governments voluntarily liberate their slaves through a system of

USS Bowfin (SS-287)
The ears of the Boat
On a fully submerged submarine of World War II, radar was rendered useless, and observations through the periscope were, by necessity and design limitations, extremely limited. The submarine had to depend chiefly on listening.
Sonar (SOund Navigation And Ranging) became the ears of the boat by using hydrophones to detect and track targets. There were two main types of sonar listening gear on a World War II submarine like USS Bowfin - sonic and supersonic.

|Victory At Cost
Victory at a cost
During World War II, The United States Submarine Force, encompassing less than 2% of the U.S. Navy's fleet, inflicted destruction on Japanese maritime power. U.S. submarines were responsible for sinking over 30% of the Japanese Navy including eight aircraft carriers, one battleship and eleven cruisers. More importantly, the Submarine Force sank 2,400 Japanese merchant ships totaling 4.9 million tons.
However, this success did not come without risk. Out of a total of 14,000 submariners who fought in peril under the sea took losses of over 3,500 officers and men. Approximately one in four submariners never returned.
The USS Bonefish submarine plaque is one of fifty-two memorials at the Waterfront Memorial at Bowfin Park.

Are Gay and Lesbian Cohabiting Couples Really Different from Heterosexual Married Couples?
Kurdek, Lawrence A., Journal of Marriage and Family
Both partners from gay and lesbian cohabiting couples without children were compared longitudinally with both partners from heterosexual married couples with children (N at first assessment = 80, 53, and 80 couples, respectively) on variables from 5 domains indicative of relationship health. For 50% of the comparisons, gay and lesbian partners did not differ from heterosexual partners. Seventy-eight percent of the comparisons on which differences were found indicated that gay or lesbian partners functioned better than heterosexual partners did. Because the variables that predicted concurrent relationship quality and relationship stability for heterosexual parents also did so for gay and lesbian partners, I conclude that the processes that regulate relationship functioning generalize across gay, lesbian, and heterosexual couples.
Key Words: gay. lesbian, longitudinal, relationship satisfaction, relationship stability.
Despite the current controversy surrounding same-sex marriage in the United States, there are no reliable estimates of the number of American gay and lesbian couples. Survey data indicate that between 40% and 60% of gay men and between 45% and 80% of lesbians are currently involved in a romantic relationship (Bradford, Ryan, & Rothblum, 1994; Falkner & Garber, 2002; Morris, Balsam, & Rothblum, 2002). Data from the 2000 United States Census (Simmons & O'Connell, 2003) indicate that of the 5.5 million couples who were living together but not married, about 1 in 9 (594,391) involved same-sex couples. Other survey data indicate that between 18% and 28% of gay couples and between 8% and 21% of lesbian couples have lived together 10 or more years (The Advocate sex poll, 2002; Blumstein & Schwartz, 1983; Bryant & Demian, 1994; Falkner & Garber, 2002; Kurdek, 2003a). Because presenting oneself publicly as part of a gay or lesbian couple opens the door for discrimination, abuse, and even violence (Bryant & Demian; Kaiser Family Foundation, 2001; Meyer, 2003), these numbers are likely to be underestimates. Nonetheless, it is clear that despite a general social climate of prejudice against gay men and lesbians, being part of a couple is integral to the lives of many gay men and lesbians.
As one indication of the importance of identifying oneself as part of a couple, some gay and lesbian citizens of the United States are currently arguing that they, just like heterosexual citizens, are entitled to the privileges associated with having their relationships legalized as marriages. These privileges include access to spousal benefits from Social security; veterans', health, and life insurance programs; hospital visitation rights; the ability to make medical decisions for partners; and exemption from state inheritance taxes. They also argue that being deprived of these privileges is unjust because it involves discriminating against a defined class of individuals (Eskridge, 1996). In response, some legislators have counterargued that same-sex marriages violate the sanctity of marriage as a union between a man and a woman, and that legal steps are needed to protect that sanctity. In that vein, 38 states to date have approved Defense of Marriage Acts ensuring that those states need not recognize the legality of same-sex unions effected by other states, and support is growing for an amendment to the Constitution that will define marriage as the legal union of a man and a woman.
Despite extensive media coverage of the same-sex marriage issue, the voice of relevant research is rarely heard. Consequently, my premise is that the complex controversy surrounding same-sex marriage can be examined, in part, as an empirical question of the extent to which gay and lesbian partners differ from heterosexual spouses on variables that matter to long-term relationships. I make no claims that answers to this question will provide a definitive resolution to the controversy, but I do submit that answers to this question will help to inform reasoned discussion of the controversy. …

Excellent bread. Not my first attempt to make sourdough but one of the only ones to turn out great. Usually, I don't make bread in a bread tin but this rose very nice and very high. I made on loaf and a pan of cinnamon rolls. Loved it, will make again.
I made a half batch into one round loaf and it rose so big. Great smell, taste and looks! My only issue is that it did not taste like sourdough at all. Just a soft, fluffy white bread. I'm not sure if this is due to my starter or if this is because of the recipe. However, I enjoyed the bread nonetheless and my 3 year old kept coming back for more!
Great sourdough :)...I followed it best I could not having a mixer ;) or loaf pans ;) ;)- it was also a coldish damp day here {{in April in NJ-yikes i thought it was Spring already (!!!) }} - so I admit I had some rising issues to boot...BUT all in all, despite my own technical difficulties, I was SO VERY, very pleased with the results...:)- used olive oil, sea salt & added a cornmeal coating (extra of all 3 as topping too)...I forgot all about the melted butter, but I didn't feel I was missing anything...wonderful flavor (subtlety sweet 'cause of the Splenda-which was a pleasant surprise)...made a large flatish loaf that I cut into dinner rolls-deliciously crusty tops and airy melt in mouth interiors...super good...served with a veggie borscht and fermented slaw/kraut and a TON left over (froze some)...{{and just had one w/ tea as a late nite snack - :) lol...couldn't resist ;) }} made for "I Recommend" and yes I do recommend these... planning to make again asap...:) YUMMY!!!num num num!!! -Thanks for the recipe share ~Nimz~!! :)
Really loved the texture of this bread. And it is so flavorful!
Easy to make. Turned out soft with a crispy crust (not like my usual bricks that can be used for door stops). Great recipe. Been growing the starter for over 2 years and finally decided to do something with it. It worked!
This was good bread. Thanks for the recipe and great directions. Looking forward to french toast with it in the morning.
Delicious! The instructions were very easy to follow and I think this is the BEST sourdough bread I've made. I made this with PaulaG's Foolproof Sourdough Starter Foolproof Sourdough Starter. I substituted canola for sunflower oil and used real sugar instead of Splenda. Thanks ~Nimz~ you're awesome!
This bead is really good! This is my first straight sourdough bread I made. I took it to a family dinner tonight at my in-laws and everyone loved it. I put a pan of water underneath the loaves and the crust was crispy with a soft inside.
I made this last weekend and my husband loved it! He was so upset when it was gone that it looks like I'll be making another couple loaves this weekend! He made sandwiches out of this to take to work, and grilled cheese while home. It was very easy, especially since it uses my KitchenAid.
Very good bread Nimz. I had a VERY hard time with the sourdough starter...where to get it for instance lol. But, once I got that issue figured out I made delicious bread with a crunchy crust. Thank you!

Man, you'd think it was bad enough to be confined to a wheelchair, but then to have people doing things like this to you...

Prankbot's College Degree Prank
Hello couch!
try this It gets people nervious and calls IT put a warning on there moniter telling them that they contracted a virus
I teach in the Community College system down here in Arizona. Someone from our district office sent out an email to all faculty about a new plan where students that have extra percentage points above 90% can "donate" them to other students who need them to improve their grades. This was to promote a cooperative atmosphere and help with retention. It took me a couple seconds before I realized it's 4/1, but several faculty replied with angry emails about this new program. There's nothing funnier (or easier) than getting a rise out of indignant faculty members.
I told my fiancee that our utility bill was $90 in a text she is still ****** Ill tell her it was cheaper when she gets home

Over the weekend, we had a 'high school stereotypes' party where one girl was dressed as a pregnant teen, whom my roommate took a picture with. He then e-mailed that to his dad today along with a message saying "people make mistakes and you should come to ames sometime soon so we can talk"
his dad replied in a most caring and consoling 3 page reply telling my roommate that everything was ok... he hasn't heard back from his dad since revealing it was a prank
