Do smokeless electronic cigarettes really contain antifreeze?
There have been a lot of rumors being spread by fear mongers that smokeless cigarettes contain toxic antifreeze. This, however, is not true. Well, not the "toxic" part anyway. 🙂
The water/nicotine solution used to create the vapor in electronic cigarettes contains Propylene Glycol (PG), as a solvent. Propylene Glycol is used in anti-freeze, but is not toxic. It should not be confused with Ethylene Glycol, which used to be the standard component in automobile antifreeze, and is toxic. Most newer antifreezes now use PG due to its non-toxic nature. PG has long been used as an antifreeze in areas where there is a potential to come in contact with food. Despite the fact that Propylene Glycol is "generally recognized as safe" (GRAS) by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration), and the fact that it has been used in countless food and medical products for years (many that you probably use on a regular basis), as soon as the word "antifreeze" gets mentioned, some people think of the old Ethylene Glycol based product, and and fear mongers tend to grasp on to that and spread rumors rather than doing any research.
The fact is that Propylene Glycol is a safe food additive. It is most often used as an emulsifier, a moisture stabilizer (humectant), or as a solvent for items that are not soluble in water. Many oral. injectable, and topical pharmaceutical formulations use Propylene Glycol as a solvent. It is used in various foods, mostly to keep moist food moist, or as a solvent for certain ingredients. It is also used in cosmetics, shampoos, mouthwashes, medicines, moisturizers, massage oils, hand sanitizers/lotions, deodorant sticks, etc… the list goes on and on. Most likely, many of the items that you currently use, on a daily basis, contain Propylene Glycol.
According to the CDC:
"Propylene glycol is a synthetic liquid substance that absorbs water. Propylene glycol is also used to make polyester compounds, and as a base for deicing solutions. Propylene glycol is used by the chemical, food, and pharmaceutical industries as an antifreeze when leakage might lead to contact with food. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has classified propylene glycol as an additive that is "generally recognized as safe" for use in food. It is used to absorb extra water and maintain moisture in certain medicines, cosmetics, or food products. It is a solvent for food colors and flavors, and in the paint and plastics industries. Propylene glycol is also used to create artificial smoke or fog used in fire-fighting training and in theatrical productions."
The bottom line is that Propylene Glycol is safe for use. It has been approved by the FDA for use as a food additive. It has been used for many years in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetics industries. And, as the CDC mentions, it was used to create vapor in fog machines (for stage effects and movies), and firefighter training, long before utilized for smokeless electronic cigarettes. It has many beneficial uses. The fact that it can also lower the freezing temperature of water should be a non-issue. The focus that some have put on "antifreeze" is ridiculous.
Unfortunately, back in 2009, the FDA tested only 18 e-cig cartridges from 2 companies. On one of those cartridges the found a small amount (approx. 1%) of Diethylene Glycol) a more toxic humectant/antifreeze ingredient), and reported this findings. It is pretty sad that they would make any kind of report based on such minimal testing. It is also pathetic that they did not present it with the proper perspective.
Diethylene Glycol (DEG) is only toxic in large amounts (much less toxic that ethylene Glycol). While it is not approved for use as a food additive, unlike Propylene Glycol, it is still approved for use in the food, tobacco, and pharmaceutical industries, as part of the manufacturing process. That means that trace amounts are found in many items you use every day, like toothpastes and aspirin. Trace amounts are not toxic, and are broken down and removed from the body. Diethylene Glycol is a humectant used to remove moisture from tobacco, thus it is a natural byproduct of the tobacco cigarette manufacturing process, and by association, the nicotine manufacturing process. However, most nicotine is refined to remove all traces of Diethylene Glycol.
Let's some this part up. Diethylene Glycol is NOT used as an ingredient in electronic cigarette solutions, Propylene Glycol is. Only one E-cigarette cartridge has ever been found to contain any Diethylene Glycol, at all. The DEG found in that one cartridge was only found in trace amounts, far below than what would be considered toxic. To further keep it in perspective, that amount is about 1/10th of what you would find in a typical aspirin, and about 1/40th of what you would find in a tobacco cigarette. Even if every cartridge contained contained that amount of DEG, it is still 40 times safer than smoking tobacco. But it is not in every cartridge, it has only been found in one cartridge, period.
Sadly, anti-ecig parties cling to this FDA and try to convince people that this is an ingredient in all smokeless cigarettes, which is simply not true. No electronic cigarette company uses Diethylene Glycol in their products. Since that 2009 report there has been extensive testing on many different brands, and they have not found one other sample that contains Diethylene Glycol. Most experts agree that the one cartridge must have been a contaminated, but detractors cling to that one finding. I have seen many articles that claim that all smokeless e-cigarettes contain this DIethylene Glycol, some going so far as to say that is one of the ingredients, which is simply a lie. One cartridge, by one manufacturer was found to have trace amounts. Yes, I feel it is important to keep stressing that. 🙂 If you ever come across an article where the author is claiming that e-cigarettes use DEG, or worse, use the word poison, stop reading. They have an agenda, and is has nothing to do with providing you with the truth.
Why the fear mongering, and spreading of misinformation? Well, some personalities always focus on the negative, and don't bother finding out all the facts. They panic and spread their own fears. Also, since e-cigs have likely put a dent in the tobacco market, it would not surprise me, that much of the negative focus comes from Big Tobacco spin doctors (working behind the scene) trying to fear people back to their products. Speculation? Sure, but who knows? It is also common knowledge that the FDA has had a long-running beef with the E-cigarette market. They tried to take control of the e-cig market by claiming that it was a drug administration device. They were taken to court and lost, so I imagine that irks them. Some people also believe that abstinence is the only way to go, so they point out all the negatives of alternative products, in order to promote abstinence, which I think is a great disservise to all those that can't, or choose not to, quit.
The bottom line is that Electronic Cigarettes are far safer than tobacco cigarettes.
By the way, I shouldn't have to say this, but….Keep in mind that, while Propylene Glycol has been deemed non-toxic and safe as a food additive, it does not mean that it is safe to go out and drink gallons of antifreeze. It is safe in the amounts that it is designed for consumption, but, like with most things, abuse can be dangerous. Use common sense.

Today was our annual Three Kings workout where we all get in teams and risk it all to swim a 50 meter sprint and usually end up losing and get the pleasure of swimming a 200 meter race instead. Brian Schmidt's trip continued to be unlucky as he and his group had to do the most 200s today at 5 which brought him to a total of 20 over his 4 year career (UMass Swimming Record). The other Senior Captain, Dan Backler, had the luckiest practice ever recorded as he and his group got all 50s. The angriest sprinter award goes to Beau Garufi this year as he was none to pleased with his team's continual gambling and losing thus giving him more 200s then a sprinter ever wants to do.
After the workout we had the rest of the afternoon off, some of the guys went to the rain forest as others decided to stay around the poolside and lounge around taking fairly regular trips to the hot tub because the sun is rarely out and the wind is always blowing.
The swim team would like to give a shout out to Richard Huntley and his family, he is an alumni of the program and while we are here we are using the Huntley gym to lift.
When I was given access to this blog Russ had to give me a password, anyone care to guess at what he made it?

Sept. 17, 1999
PASADENA, Calif. - The real UCLA Bruins will take the Rose Bowl field Saturday night against Fresno State.
The 21st-ranked Bruins (1-1) welcome back 10 players suspended for the season's first two games for illegally obtaining handicapped parking permits, and six will start against the Bulldogs (1-1).
"It's not whole, but it's better than it was," UCLA coach Bob Toledo said of his team. "There's some injuries, still."
Of the suspended players, Toledo said: "That's a big chunk of your team. There's a reason why they were starters before and the other guys were backups."
The defense should especially be improved, with a whole new corps of first-stringers at linebacker - Tony White, Robert Thomas and Ryan Nece - along with a new starting strong safety - Ryan Roques.
Fullback Durell Price and left guard Oscar Cabrera are the suspended players who will start on offense.
"I just want to play some football," Price said. "I can't wait to get out there Saturday. These last few weeks have been really tough. Being on the scout team really checks your love for the game."
That was the role filled by the suspended players.
Roques said he felt a sense of relief, now that he can play again.
"I think there will be an even bigger sense of relief when we actually play in a game," he said. "I think there will be an impact immediately, we're going to be getting a lot of talent and leadership back."
There will be another addition to UCLA's starting lineup - Toledo announced at the beginning of the week that Cory Paus, who split time with junior Drew Bennett in the first two games, will be the team's full-time quarterback.
A redshirt freshman, Paus completed 20 of 38 passes for 225 yards and one touchdown with three interceptions in a 38-7 win over Boise State and a 42-20 loss at No. 13 Ohio State.
"The offense has to play a lot better, I hope I can help us do that," Paus said.
Toledo said he wants to go with one quarterback, and won't have a quick hook for Paus.
"He's going to make some mistakes," Toledo said. "He can throw the ball very well. He can also eventually give us some leadership. There's no doubt that we need to get the ball to our wide receivers. They are our playmakers."
Wide receivers Danny Farmer, Brad Melsby, Brian Poli-Dixon and Freddie Mitchell have combined for only 13 receptions for 144 yards.
The Bruins are listed as 21-point favorites over the Bulldogs, who beat Portland State 34-6 and lost to Oregon State 46-23.
"There's no question we respect them," Toledo said. "They've won a lot of games against good teams. They'll probably bring 30,000 fans with them, they travel real well. They'll be excited to play this game."
Fresno coach Pat Hill played center at UC Riverside when Toledo was on the coaching staff there, and UCLA assistants Kelly Skipper and Jethro Franklin are former Fresno players and assistants who played for the Bulldogs in a 17-0 loss to UCLA at the Rose Bowl in 1987.
In addition, Skipper's younger brother, Tim, is a starting linebacker and the leading tackler on the current Fresno team.
"We are going into this game knowing we have to have our 'A' game," Hill said. "We have to execute and make the big plays at critical times. If we do that, it will be a great game."
Paris Gaines, Fresno's leading rusher, said the Bulldogs need to execute better than they did last weekend.
"I'm not the only one on our team who thinks we can win this game," Gaines said.

How to fight winter blues
Are you one of those people that struggles during the winter months? It may be hard to believe during the holiday season that anyone can be down or have the "blues" but it does happen. The condition is called seasonal affective disorder, or SAD. There are things we can do to combat this disorder, or to help with winter blues.
- Get out in the light. Light exposure therapy is a good way to help combat winter blues. Seize every opportunity to be outside in the sunshine on days when weather permits. Long walks are especially helpful. You may also find it beneficial to invest in a SAD light. These lights offer simulated daylight in a non glaring form and can help correct problems with sleep and mental attitude. It is important that you use the light according to the instructions for it to be able to work. Most results will take place within a week or two of using the light every day. Please read the reviews of the link, they are quite impressive.
- Take hot showers or soaking baths. Pampering yourself with the little luxuries in life can be a great way to relieve physical stress on the body. If you can't afford the spa, you can have your own mini spa in your own home. Light candles, play soft music, and wear comfy comforting clothes. Take time to lotion your legs, arms and face and give yourself a little nurturing.
- Get some comic relief. Today on the internet we have access to tons of wonderful movies and comedy shows. You can easily buy dvds, of comedy classics like The Carol Burnett show, etc. that can be a great way to get you laughing and having a good time. When you buy multiple sets or complete seasons, you have a funny movie or show to look forward every day of the week.
- Practice positive thinking. Positive thinking, and meditation may be some of the best ways you can help fight feeling down. Find a quiet place, soothing music or nature sounds, most of these can be found on tv through your cable channels, and practice deep breathing, and positive visualization. See yourself being happy. Try to give joy to others.
- Talk to your doctor. Always consult with your doctor to make sure that your seasonal blues is seasonal and not a more significant problem that may require psychiatric help or medications.
Have a happy holiday season and take care!

Prison Crowding Causing Health Concerns in CT
Earlier this month, The New York Times published "Prison Nation," an article detailing the record high prison populations in the United States and significant amounts of funding spent nationwide on correctional facilities. Since then, two inmates in a Connecticut prison have filed a lawsuit alleging that insufficient access to bathroom facilities has left them with bladder problems.
The problem of overcrowded prisons in the United States is serious and widespread, but so politically charged that many states are facing simultaneous suggestions of opposing reform measures.
As the Times summarized, more than one in 100 Americans are in prisons, including one in nine black men ages 20-34 and one in 36 Hispanic men. About 1.6 million Americans are behind bars, giving the U.S. a higher incarceration rate than any other country with reliable figures, according to the Times.
In 2007, the states spent a reported $44 billion on corrections – an increase of $11 billion from 20 years ago. And sources indicate that five states spent the same amount or more on corrections than on higher education.
Some states, it seems, are beginning to address this issue by distinguishing between violent criminals/repeat offenders and nonviolent offenders, offering alternatives to jail time to the latter group. In New York, as Total Criminal Defense recently reported, such measures have led to a decrease in crime rates as well as lowered prison populations.
And the recent Connecticut lawsuit suggests that change is needed.
According to the Hartford Courant, the Cheshire Correctional Facility is so crowded that inmates are forced to stay in the recreation room – a space designed for leisure activities like reading and television viewing, not sleeping.
Sources report that inmates staying in the recreation room were given inadequate access to toilets, and had no choice but to relieve themselves in plastic bags. Ezekiel Scott and Raymond Hayles, two convicts who brought a civil suit against the prison, allegedly suffer bladder problems because of the restrictions on bathroom use.
Despite these conditions, prison reform can be a difficult measure to pass.
For one thing, building and operating prisons has apparently become a major industry in the United States. Decreasing the number of prisoners – and even the number of prisons – would mean financial losses for those involved in the industry.
For another, many Americans evidently equate decreased crime rates in the past ten years with increased rates of incarceration. Many states implemented "get tough" criminal policies in the 1970s, which often meant longer sentences and stricter punishments for certain crimes (like drug crimes).
But, as the Times reports, the relationship between prison populations and crime rates is muddled at best.
And a third factor plays into this already complex issue. High-profile crimes like the Cheshire slayings last summer, in which two paroled convicts murdered a mother and two daughters in their home, garner attention for stricter sentencing laws.
The father/husband who survived the Cheshire incident has actively supported proposed three-strikes laws in Connecticut, which would require life sentences for those convicted of a third felony. Obviously, such measures would further strain already thinly-spread corrections resources.

RICHLAND, Wash. (AP) — Two women were burned when their boat caught fire after refueling Monday evening at the marina at the Richland Yacht Club.
Both jumped overboard and made it to shore.
Fire Department Battalion Chief Tom Huntington told KEPR (http://is.gd/1hXEv5 ) the burning boat drifted away from the dock, and firefighters let it burn itself out. The fire also burned fuel on the water.
The two women were taken to Kadlec Regional Medical Center in Richland. Burns were described as serious for one woman and minor for the other.

Hi all my client wants ability to send a letter to the customer when their credit card has been refunded. That is when the customer is returned his money he should be sent a letter saying that.
Is there any standad functionality in SAP like this or we will need customisation.
(i guess it will need customisation)
Go to respective customer master record, correcpondence tab and select 2 in Bank Statement field for the customers you require for refund letter.
Then go to F.27 transaction and select Company Code, Account Type, Customer Codes (if require range), Indicator in master record, Key dates for acct statement, correspondence type from the drill down list and execute.
System will generate spool request file take print and send it.
Try once, assign points if useful.
Sarma BH
Hello Nik,
I am not sure whether an account statement is the optimal solution you need. There are much more possibilities to obtain correspondance letters i. e.
1. Create a letter while posting a incoming / outgoing payment.
If you have a return from the customer please choose while posting the payment in the open items screen Environment / Correspondance. Choose the document you want to create i. e. paymentnotice with line items or account statement.
2. Create a letter for a customer
You are in the customer line item display.
choose Environment / correspondance / request
Select the document you want to create
In both cases the system gives a message: (Document) was requested (Message no. F5451)
Now the documents are ready for printing. Go to periodic processing / print correspondance the receivables (payables) menu.
Maybe this is a little help for you, you can create your own correspondance types and forms.You will find the customizing in
Financials/Accounts receivables & payables / customer accounts / line item / correspondance (only one path in the IMG).
I guess the customizing is self explaining if you are not completely new in SAP.
Best regards.

McGovern Once Again Argues for Withdrawing Troops
George McGovern, the 1972 Democratic presidential candidate who based his unsuccessful run on pulling out of Vietnam War, is turning his attention to the war in Iraq with a new book that argues the U.S. should begin withdrawing troops in December with the aim of having all 140,000-plus home by June 2007.
Just two months before the crucial midterm elections, the Democratic Party remains divided over the Iraq war amid polls that consistently show Americans deeply oppose an immediate withdrawal from Iraq, even though solid majorities consider the war a mistake and want a timeline for a withdrawal.
McGovern, by contrast, pulls no punches. In his book, Out of Iraq: A Practical Plan for Withdrawal Now, co-written with academic William Polk, the former senator argues that the war has been a moral and strategic failure that has wasted tens of thousands of American and Iraqi lives and left both countries significantly less secure. The two men dedicate the book to their grandchildren, with the hope that they will profit from the lessons we should have learned in Iraq, and to Americans and Iraqis who have lost their lives in this disastrous war.
McGovern's argument that the presence of large numbers of U.S. soldiers in Iraq remains a key driver of the violence there is shared by senior military commanders, including Gen. John Abizaid, the top U.S. officer in the Mideast.
U.S. policy makers are certain to oppose McGovern's timetable as well as specific suggestions for making a withdrawal work, including paying reparations to Iraqi civilians, immediately releasing all prisoners of war, and offering to void all oil contracts signed by the Iraqi government during the U.S. presence in their country. Further, few countries would be willing to commit troops to his proposal for a two-year international peacekeeping operation. –Yochi J. Dreazen

One of Kim Kardashian's lifelong dreams may have just come true along with maybe Anna Wintour's* tenure at Vogue magazine. Hopefully it is just a prank, an April Fool's joke, a supreme "got cha" by noted funster and editor at large Wintour. I picture her cocking her head to one side, looking out beneath her famous bobbed hair and there it is; a wink. Everyone who has even the mildest of interest in fashion would then laugh and say, "Good one, Anna!" Apparently this is all wishful thinking because it looks like Wintour (who is not known for being the funniest person in the room) has finally succumbed to pressure asserted from America's favorite leather sweatpants promoting rapper Kanye West to put his baby mama on the cover. In fact she even put him in the photo with his fiancé.
Several things about Kardashion's Vogue cover have fashion fans in a snit. The focal point of their scorn is that Kim Kardashian is a reality star who rose to fame through a sex tape and brief friendship with Paris Hilton*. Her reality show debuted in 2007 which then made her and the rest of her clan (klan) reality fixtures. The truth is if you live in America and own a TV or frequent stores that sell food or gas, you know who Kim Kardashian is even if you would rather not. People claim she has no talent, but she does, she has the talent to stretch her fifteen minutes of fame out to seven long years.
Another reason for the outrage is that Wintour has always indicated that she would not put reality stars on the cover of what has been called essentially the Bible of American fashion. Many would argue that they wish there were no entertainment figures on the cover at all and Vogue would return to an earlier era when it was only models smiling out to potential buyers at the newsstand, but I digress. In the past Wintour rejected bigger temptations for the coveted cover. Posh Beckham* had to settle for a lesser nation based edition of the magazine for her cover shot spotlight. Wintour made Oprah Winfrey* lose weight before she became a Vogue cover girl. Seriously, this was back in the day when Oprah and all things O ruled the world.
Speaking of height of fame, hasn't Kanye West plateaued some in his career? For a time, a little under a decade ago, he was considered the rapper with meaning, a major innovator of music, but then he started to believe his hype. I am not talking about the "George Bush doesn't care about black people" bit because that is more political. I am speaking of sheer stupidity/smell your own body odor and call it perfume insanity things like interrupting the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards by coming on stage from the audience and proclaim, as she is standing in front of him, that Taylor Swift* does not deserve whatever silly award she was getting because Beyonce* deserved it more. It was this sort of acting up that prompted the current leader of the free world to declare West a "jackass." It is things of this ilk that identify West now as someone who is more tabloid fodder than talent. Don't believe me; think about all of the empty seats at Sprint Center when West last played in Kansas City.
Tabloid fodder is where the Kardashian family really comes into their own. There is so many of them; mostly females with long flowing dark hair, but also a fat brother, husband types of various stripes, hot stepbrother/brothers, a mother who seems to push all her children towards depravity and unhappy relationships, and finally Bruce Jenner*** who appears to be morphing from an ex-Olympian athlete suffering from a blotched facelift to a yet to be named woman with a blotched facelift. (If I have missed someone I apologize.) I say let this tribe of E network stars rule the Us Weeklies and In Touches, for I care not about these publications but Vogue is a magazine I have read since a teen and even though it does not have the impact it once had on the world, or even my life, I do not want it to fall into the category of magazines I am ashamed to be seen reading.
Much like West's career path, the TV ratings for Kardashian based programming have been falling and this despite Kim's romance and engagement to West. Vogue is vogue because it is the discovery of stars and if not discover than at least the promoter of stars and "It Girl" sensations to higher heights. Vogue should be chasing down Lupita Nyong'o* for upcoming covers. It if wants a shape issue, which is what the Kardashian issue is dubbed, do something really radical and have a photo shoot with Gabourey Sidibe*. How about an age issue with Jessica Lange* on the cover? Or better yet go back to using real models*.
Some may argue that putting Kim Kardashian on Vogue's cover is a stroke of genius because of the discussion the cover has already prompted, but what after? Who else on the D list will be anointed by Wintour next? It would be different if Kardashian had done something besides an assorted variety of her reality show or licensing her last name and image to various beauty and weight loss products but, alas, she hasn't.
*denotes people I think would be better choices for Vogue cover models than Kim Kardashian.

Britons Choke Down Healthy Food...
Many Brits love a full English breakfast, but hate nutritious foods, like spinach, mushrooms, lentils, onions, Brussels sprouts, broccoli and other vegetables. But, they still eat them! According to a new report, during their lifetime, people living in the United Kingdom consume 4,000 portions of foods they dislike, because they know eating them is healthy. Nutritionists are astonished by the amount of food people are forcing themselves to eat; The Telegraph investigates.
Wow, that's hardcore! But not nearly as tough as the mums who started dealing hamburgers on the playground when the local school tried to improve its menu, now that's gangster!

I used to be terrified of flying. As someone who's never liked heights, it's understandable why I was never excited about a trip to the airport. While my fear of heights is nonexistent now (at least when it comes to flying), the fear of going to the airport is as bad as ever.
Why? How about the relentless price gouging that begins once you first step foot into the airport. All of a sudden McDonalds doesn't have a dollar menu anymore. Items such as candy bars and magazines are often times overpriced, too. In my opinion, EVERYTHING is more expensive. Alright, maybe it's not that bad. But for someone who has flown quite a bit over the last couple years, "perks" that airlines used to offer for free have increasingly disappeared.
What's that mean for consumers like you and me? We're paying an additional fee for services that used to be included in the normal price of a plane ticket. It's bad enough I pay $8 for a McDonalds breakfast that wouldn't cost more than $5 outside of an airport. Is it really necessary to charge for every minute thing?
Apparently to airports, it is. However, there are still some airlines that offer great perks that people might not realize. With the holidays right around the corner, people will be traveling all over the place to visit friends and family. Instead of overpaying for certain "perks," why not take advantage of the cheap or free ones that still exist? Below I've selected five airlines and highlighted what perks are still available to customers. Take a look!
Southwest Airlines
I'm always nervous about booking trips way in advance. What if something comes up and I'm unable to go on the vacation I planned and paid for six months ago? With Southwest Airlines, you don't have to worry. While most U.S. airlines charge fees for flight itinerary changes, Southwest Airlines isn't included on that list. The only fee you have to worry about is the difference in fare (if there is one).
Virgin America
With limited use of electronic items, flights are generally pretty boring. This can be especially true if you're flying with kids. They can only sit still for so long before they get antsy. That's where Virgin America comes into play. The airline gives passengers the opportunity to watch movies…for FREE! Other airlines are catching on to the movie idea, although it comes with a cost of as much as $5.99 per movie.
Aside from the overpriced food at the airport, the thing I hate the most is that most airlines charge for checked bags. Call me crazy, but doesn't it seem ridiculous to pay to check a bag that will be placed on the same plane as you? Apparently JetBlue feels the same way as I do. They allow passengers to check one bag free of charge. As something that used to be included in the original price of a ticket no more than five years ago, it's hard to look at this as a perk. However, a checked bag can range anywhere from $20–$40 depending on the airline. It adds up in the end.
JetBlue isn't alone in allowing customers a free checked bag. Southwest permits passengers two checked bags for free.
What's even better about JetBlue? Try FREE Wi-Fi. Perhaps the only thing that could help make the time fly by besides Virgin America's free movies is JetBlue's free Wi-Fi. I could follow all my favorite sports teams and play games. I'd be at my destination in no time. Most airlines charge $1.95 and up for Wi-Fi use.
Virgin Atlantic
If you're flying Virgin Atlantic, chances are you're flying internationally. If you want to get your vacation started a little early (but don't want to pay $10 for a 12-ounce beer), take advantage of Virgin Atlantic's free alcoholic beverages. Some airlines charge for a can of pop and a bag of peanuts, although Virgin Atlantic isn't among them.
If you can't tell by now, I don't like overpaying for food and drinks. That's why I like flying Delta. You get complimentary drinks such as water, pop and juice along with a free bag of peanuts or cookies. It's not much, but it's enough to hold you over for a couple hours. It may be small, but it's free.
If you're like me and don't like flying because of the unnecessary charges, fly one of the airlines I listed above. You'll find many perks that aren't offered by other airlines, and it might even reduce your fear of flying!
Are there any perks I left out that other airlines offer? If so, let us know in the comments section below!

The distributive property can be written thus: x(y + z) = xy + xz. In other words, the distributive proeprty teaches that when we multiply a term by a sum in parentheses, we first multiply the term by the first term in the sum and then the second term in the sum. We then add the product of x and y to the product of x and z. This is an example of the distributive property.
"Term" is one of those...well...terms we hear used in mathematics a great deal, but few can give a clear, concise definition of the word. A term is what happens when you have a number (called a 'coefficient') which exists either alone, or as a part of a product, specifically with variables attached to it. These variables are themselves raised by powers, though this is not always explicit, as in the case of a term such as 5x. 3 is a term. 3x is also a term. And yes, 3x^4y^9 is also a term! Variables which contain the same exponents are known as "like terms."
It is important to keep in mind that we cannot add or subtract unlike terms. For example 4x^7y^8 - 2x^7y^2 is not something we can mess with. The reason is that the first and second terms are "unlike" one another. But why? Don't the first and second term have the same exponent? Yes, but the variables of both terms must all be raised to the exact same exponent for them to be like terms. If there is any difference between any of the exponents of any of the variables between the two terms, then the two terms are unlike terms, and we cannot add them together or subtract one from the other. If, on the other hand, we had 4x^7y^8 - 2x^7y^8, then we would get the answer 2x^7y^8. Note that only the coefficient is actually altered. The exponents of the variables remain the same. The subtraction (or the addition, for that matter) does not affect them. In any case, it is clear that the latter equation is possible because the equation contains like terms. The exponents of the variables of both terms are identical, and both can therefore be added together or have one subtracted from the other.

Funny Superbowl Commercials
Bridgestone Brand Offers Glimpse of Super Bowl Playbook Halftime show and commercials will feature the Bridgestone tires What do Alice Cooper, Richard Simmons and an albino snake have in common? (Hint: Theyre not in the latest reality show brought on by the writers strike in Hollywood.) They will appear together in a humorous new Bridgestone tire commercial from Bridgestone Firestone North American Tire, LLC (BFNT) that will debut during the FOX telecast of Super Bowl XLII on Feb. 3 from Glendale, Ariz.
For the first time ever, BFNT is advertising during the Super Bowl. The company will debut two 30-second commercials during Super Bowl XLII, one between the first and second quarters and one during the third quarter. The creative team needed 6,000 crew hours, 28 animals and two iconic celebrities to create humorous, compelling commercials that showcase the performance of Bridgestone tires and reinforce its key message that, for drivers who want to get the most out of their cars its Bridgestone or nothing. The descriptions below offer a sneak peek at what viewers can expect to see from the Bridgestone commercials on Super Bowl Sunday.
More than 20 woodland friends exercise their lungs and count their blessings that a car passing through their home is riding on the world-class technology of Bridgestone tires.
Unexpected Obstacles
What happens when a fitness icon, a rock legend and his slithery companion confront a speeding car equipped with the precision technology of Bridgestone-brand tires? Youll have to watch Super Bowl XLII to find out.
The Super Bowl is Americas favorite sporting event with a huge television audience, so it is an incredible opportunity to raise awareness for the Bridgestone brand, said Phil Pacsi, Vice President, North American Consumer Tire Marketing, BFNT. These commercials use humor and surprise in a very effective way to both entertain and to showcase the performance of Bridgestone tires.
The commercials, produced by Dallas, Texas-based The Richards Group, are just one piece of the extensive partnership between the Bridgestone brand and the NFL. The partnership also includes:
the first Official Tire of the NFL designation;
Official Tire Sponsor of Super Bowl XLII and Super Bowl XLIII designation;
title sponsorship of the Super Bowl XLII and XLIII Bridgestone Super Bowl Halftime Show, this year starring Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers;
strong presence at the NFL Experience, the interactive theme park in Arizona during Super Bowl week;
designation as Official Tire Sponsor of the Pro Bowl, which is played the week after the Super Bowl in Hawaii; and
Title sponsorship of the first-ever regular season NFL game played outside North America, the Bridgestone International Series, which took place in October at Londons Wembley Stadium featuring the New York Giants and the Miami Dolphins.
Super Bowl XLII, to be held Feb. 3, 2008, at the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Ariz., will be televised by FOX. Watched by 140 million viewers in the U.S. last year, the Super Bowl is annually the nations highest-rated TV program and the most-watched single-day sporting event. Tampa, Fla., will host Super Bowl XLIII and that games Bridgestone Super Bowl Halftime Show in 2009.
In addition to its national partnership with the NFL, BFNT has a long tradition of high-profile sports sponsorships. For example, Bridgestone is the Official Tire of the PGA TOUR; the brand sponsors the World Golf ChampionshipsBridgestone Invitational played at the Firestone Country Club in Akron, Ohio; and Bridgestone is now the official tire of the GOLF CHANNEL. In motorports, Bridgestone is the official tire of the Champ Car World Series and Formula One. Firestone is the Official Tire of the Indianapolis 500-Mile Race®, the IndyCar Series and IndyPro Series. BFNT also has local and regional sponsorships with properties such as the Tennessee Titans and Nashville Predators.
About Bridgestone Firestone North American Tire, LLC:
Nashville, Tenn.-based Bridgestone Firestone North American Tire, LLC is a subsidiary of Bridgestone Americas Holding, Inc., whose parent company, Bridgestone Corporation, is the worlds largest tire and rubber company. BFNT develops, manufactures and markets Bridgestone, Firestone and associate brand tires.

Opinion 9.05 - Due Process
The basic principles of a fair and objective hearing should always be accorded to the physician or medical student whose professional conduct is being reviewed. The fundamental aspects of a fair hearing are a listing of specific charges, adequate notice of the right of a hearing, the opportunity to be present and to rebut the evidence, and the opportunity to present a defense. These principles apply when the hearing body is a medical society tribunal, medical staff committee, or other similar body composed of peers. The composition of committees sitting in judgment of medical students, residents, or fellows should include a significant number of persons at a similar level of training.
These principles of fair play apply in all disciplinary hearings and in any other type of hearing in which the reputation, professional status, or livelihood of the physician or medical student may be negatively impacted.
All physicians and medical students are urged to observe diligently these fundamental safeguards of due process whenever they are called upon to serve on a committee which will pass judgment on a peer. All medical societies and institutions are urged to review their constitutions and bylaws and/or policies to make sure that these instruments provide for such procedural safeguards. (II, III, VII)

This morning, Tom Wark announced the winners of the 2008 American Wine Blog Awards, and I'm thrilled to share that Vinography was lauded for Best Writing and Best Overall Wine Blog. These aren't the first awards that I've won here, but in many ways they're the most meaningful. Three years ago, winning the Best Wine Blog as part of the Food Blogging Awards was great, but when there were only a handful of wine blogs, most of which were barely maintained, someone dedicated like me who knew how to use spell check didn't have much competition, so to speak. In... continue reading
If you haven't seen it already, I heartily encourage you check out an excellent article and blog post by Eric Asimov over the last couple of days about letting kids drink wine at home. As you might expect, this is a pretty heated topic in our moralistic American society, with people expressing strong feelings about whether or not it is OK to let kids have a little wine at home with dinner. Eric's blog post has received well over 300 comments already and I'm sure the discussion will continue. Like on many issues, we Americans seem all to quick to... continue reading
For as great a wine town as it is, fantastic public tasting opportunities don't come around all that often in New York City. Sure, if you know people, and especially if you're in the business, there's always some place to go to taste a few great wines. But there are rarely large public tasting events like those frequently held in San Francisco, where consumers can spend a little bit of money to taste a huge number of wines. As you know, I consider such events the best possible education wine lovers can get. There's nothing like being able to compare... continue reading
As Paul Draper was inducted into the Vintners Hall of Fame a couple of weeks ago in a ceremony at the Culinary Institute of America in St. Helena, his acceptance speech offered a simple exhortation to members of the wine industry in attendance: make great wines for yourself and for no one else. His suggestion that winemakers follow their own vision instead of chasing the critics or the appeal of the masses (though he did acknowledge that selling wine is important, too) was backed up by the quite confidence of a man who has been doing that for more than... continue reading
As a kid, I badly wanted to be an archaeologist for a period of time. When I was twelve, I saved up until I could (with a little help from Grandma) buy a metal detector. I suppose I've never lost the fascination with buried treasure. Heck, I went to Egypt on my honeymoon. And if I had a TV, I would definitely watch the Antiques Roadshow. Which is why, I suppose, that I now desperately want to spend a few weeks canvassing the back alleys of Paris now that its pawn shops are accepting wine. OK, so it's not quite... continue reading
It's time for my fellow journalists, winemakers, and opinionated wine lovers to stop whining about high alcohol wines. Along with so called "green" wines, this bandwagon of opinions is the topic du jour for wine journalists and wine personalities around the country, and in addition to being tiresome, it is just plan silly. Complaining about alcohol levels in wines is ridiculous for 5 main reasons. REASON #1 - Alcohol is Not the Sensation People Dislike Apart from the people who are just complaining that they want their wine to be less alcoholic so they can drink more (whom I address... continue reading
Maybe I'm getting old, but I just didn't have the energy to taste 300 wines last weekend when the Rhone Rangers came to town. This is always one of my favorite tastings each year, as I deeply enjoy Rhone style wines in all their incarnations, from the crisp whites of Marsanne and Roussanne to the rich dark Syrahs, and everything in between. My usual approach consists of starting at one end of the hall and tasting through the wines like a bulldozer goes through a crowded square. This usually yields a great cross section of wines and lets me highlight... continue reading
The finalists for the 2008 edition of the American Wine Blog Awards have been announced today, and I'm pleased to announce that Vinography is up for two awards: Best Writing and Best Overall Wine Blog. I've been publishing this blog for a bit more than 4 years now, and one of the most satisfying aspects of this (second) job of mine continues to be the support that I receive from readers like you. That support manifests in many ways: the comments you leave on the site, the fact that you even bothering to come back here to read every day,... continue reading

What happens when the wine blogosphere meets the movement that is Gary Vaynerchuk and his nation of Vayniacs? We're about to find out, because Gary, the enfant terrible of the wine world and man behind Wine Library TV is the host for the 44th monthly Wine Blogging Wednesday. Gary's announcement of this fact comes at about 13:45 into his latest show, if you want to hear it from his own lips. The details, however are as follows: On Wednesday, April 2nd, bloggers from around the world (and presumably Gary himself?), and hopefully a bunch of his Vayniac fans will all... continue reading
As casual wine lovers, we live in the daily romance of wine. We thrive on the pleasures of a great glass with a wonderful meal, a fabulous bottle shared with a friend, or the exciting first taste of a new grape variety. But lurking just under the surface of this delightful, even magical world, lies a deeper more complex universe of wine made up of history, geography, geology, meteorology, organic chemistry, geopolitics, economics, philosophy, and more. Some are content to always experience wine in the most casual of ways, but nearly every wine lover I know has at some point... continue reading
Scientists are supposed to be really smart folks, aren't they? Then why, in their valiant attempts to understand the effects (good and bad) of wine on people, do they spend their time giving wine mostly to transgenic mice and serious alcoholics? The mice can't appreciate it and the alcoholics won't care what they're drinking. You'd think there would be legions of college students around the world falling all over themselves to be research subjects on studies that involved consuming three to five glasses of red wine per week on a regular basis. Especially compared to the alternative of rubbing lotions... continue reading
One of the greatest joys in my life remains the feeling I get when stumbling upon a small winery whose name rings no bells, but who produces excellent wines. I don't know why this is, exactly, but it has replaced the childish joy I used to experience as a young boy when finding a small crystal on a hike, or setting a new personal record for stone skipping on a pond. Little wineries with high quality wines are like buried treasure, I guess, but these days my goal is not to hoard but to share as widely as possible. Which... continue reading
Do you want to know a little secret? I'm probably going to catch hell for telling you, especially from my friend Jack who served this wine to me, and who let me in on the secret in the first place. But he should know better than to tell a blogger anything. So here goes: Pre-1980 California Cabernets are some of the best buys in the wine world right now. Sure, some of them, especially pristine bottlings of reserve Beringer, BV, Heitz, or Stags' Leap wines are going for hundreds of dollars per bottle, but with a little effort you can... continue reading
When you just need to detox, and you curl up quietly on the couch with a favorite bottle, what wine are you most likely to drink? That's the question that drove this month's Wine Blogging Wednesday, the blogosphere's virtual wine tasting party. Hosted by Joel over at Wine Life Today, this month's theme was Comfort Wines, and last week bloggers from all over the globe settled down to review the wines that that provide refuge, solace, nostalgia, and general soothing whenever they need it. In which wines do wine bloggers find so much comfort? They ranged from Chateauneuf-du-Pape, to Napa... continue reading03.12.2008
Did I just say that? Yes I did. And increasingly I'm hearing it from wine professionals that I know -- spoken, of course, in hushed tones and off the record. Most professional sommeliers and wine writers wouldn't be caught dead uttering such terms in public, let alone publishing them. So I guess it's up to us bloggers to spread the word: wine drinkers around the world, you've been hoodwinked. Tricked. Bamboozled. Conned. Before you throw that glass at your monitor, let me explain. Wine has always gone with food. In fact, one of the first reasons that wine became popular... continue reading
I pride myself on my broad tastes in wine. I like wine from everywhere, and don't believe I have a specific bias towards one region or another. However, each year, that claim is shaken a little bit as I emerge from what is one of the best wine tasting events held in San Francisco, The Gambero Rosso Tre Bicchieri tasting. For those unfamiliar with the Gambero Rosso, it is essentially an organization focused on the promotion and evaluation of Italian food and wine that each year publishes a guide by the same name. The Gambero Rosso is the Italian Wine... continue reading
One of the most enduring and compelling attractions of wine for me lies in the nearly magical array of aromas that I can find in a glass of fermented grape juice. These aromas, which are actually airborne molecules capable of interfacing with our exceedingly complex sensory apparatus, appear nearly infinite in their variations and subtlety. The science of smell, as it might be described, has gotten us to the point that we can isolate compounds in the air, and can associate some of them with objectively determined standards. We know, for instance, the exact molecular configuration that "is" the smell... continue reading
Under the Vines "This is another shot from my recent winter trip to Sonoma. There are still a few vineyards like this one, whose wild canes remain unpruned for the winter. These dark shapes are a stark contrast to the bright mustard that has fully carpeted many vineyards by now." -- Michael Regnier INSTRUCTIONS: Download this image by right-clicking (Mac users, click and hold) on the image and selecting "save link as" or "save target as" and then select the desired location on your computer to save the image.

It's not every day that I get to leave a wine tasting knowing that I've probably spit out a volume of wine that would cost more than the entire contents of my own personal cellar. OK, I'm probably being slightly hyperbolic, but I did spend last Saturday tasting wines that for the most part I will never be able to afford to own. The Grand Tasting at La Paulee de San Francisco offered an opportunity to taste approximately eighty top Burgundies from recent vintages alongside food samples from some of San Francisco's top restaurants, including Coi, A16, Boulevard, La Folie,... continue reading
Strict astrologers will quibble with my pronouncements, but I'm ready to officially declare that it is Spring! My feckless abandon is no doubt due in part to the fabulous weather we seem to be having here in San Francisco. My real sense of the season, however, derives from the wine tasting events that are popping up with increasing frequency on the calendar. The Annual Rhone Rangers Tasting in San Francisco is certainly one of the harbingers of warmer weather and good wine in San Francisco. Held at Fort Mason, like all the other big tastings, Rhone Rangers offers the change... continue reading
Napa has a way of turning modest dreams into major productions. Lou Kapcsándy and his wife Bobbie decided to retire to Napa mostly out of nostalgia for the picnics and wine tasting they used to do as a young married couple living in Sausalito. Forty years after the first of these romantic escapes, their retirement dream included only a little cottage with at most an acre or so of vines, so Lou could putter in the garage and make a barrel or two of wine from his backyard fruit. Three years after the family, including their son Louis, made the... continue reading
February is the sneakiest month. It lulls you into thinking it's just like any other month, and then it pulls the rug out from under you a couple of days before you're ready. Well now it's March, and the first Wednesday of the month approaches, which means Wine Blogging Wednesday, the blogosphere's virtual wine tasting event is right around the corner. This month's edition, the 43rd since we began the event, is hosted by Joel over at Wine Life Today. His theme for this month's event is Comfort Wines, which loosely translates into: buy and drink a wine that helps... continue reading

Sunday Afternoon,0
At Home, 472 Delaware Avenue,
Buffalo Feb. [6,] [1870.]
My First, & Oldest & Dearest Friend,
My heart goes out to you just the same as [ever!] Your letter has stirred me to the bottom.1 The fountains of my great deep are broken up & I have rained reminiscences for four & twenty hours.2 The old life has swept before me like a panorama; the old days have trooped by in their old glory, [again;] the old faces have looked out of the mists of the past; old footsteps have sounded in my listening ears; old hands have clasped mine, old voices have greeted me, & the songs I loved ages & ages ago have come wailing down the centuries! Heavens what eternities have swung their hoary cycles about us since those days were new!—What Since we tore down Dick Hardy's stable; since you had the measles & I went to your house purposely to catch them; since Henry Beebe kept that envied [slaughter-house], & Joe Craig sold him cats to kill in it; since old General Gaines used to say, "Whoop! Bow your neck & spread!;" since Jimmy [Finn] was town drunkard & we stole his dinner while he slept in the vat & fed it to the hogs in order to keep them still till we could mount them & have a ride; since Clint Levering was drowned; since we taught that one-legged nigger, Higgins, to offend Bill League's dignity by hailing him in [publici ] with his exasperating "Hello, League!"—since we used to undress & play Robin Hood wi in our shirt-tails, with lath swords, in the woods on Holliday's Hill on those long summer days; since we used to go in swimming above the still-house branch—& at mighty intervals wandered on vagrant o fishing excursions clear up to "the Bay," & wondered what was curtained away in the great world beyond that remote point;3 since I jumped overboard from the ferry boat in the middle of the river that stormy day to get my hat, & swam two or three miles after it (& got it,) while all the town collected on the wharf & for an hour or so looked out across the angry waste of "white‐caps" toward where people said Sam. Clemens was last seen before he went down; since we got up a mutiny rebellion against Miss Newcomb, under Ed. Stevens' leadership, (to force her to let us all go over to Miss Torry's side of the schoolroom,) & gallantly "sassed" Laura Hawkins when she came out the third time to call us in, & then afterward marched in ‸in‸ threatening & bloodthirsty [array,—]& meekly yielded, & took each his little thrashing, [& resumed] his old seat entirely "reconstructed;" since we used to indulge in that very peculiar performance on that old bench outside the [school-house] to drive good old Bill Brown crazy while he was eating his dinner; since we used to remain at school at noon & go hungry, in order to persecute Bill Brown in all possible ways—poor old Bill, who could be driven to such extremity of vindictiveness as to call us "You infernal fools!" & chase us round & round the school-house—& yet who never had the heart to hurt us when he caught us, & who always loved us & always took our part when the big boys wanted to thrash us; since we used to lay in wait for Bill Pitts at the pump & whale him; (I saw him two or three years ago, & I was awful polite to his six feet two, & mentioned no reminiscences); since we used to be in Dave Garth's class in Sunday school & on week-days stole his leaf tobacco to run our miniature tobacco presses with; since Owsley shot Smar; since Ben Hawkins shot off his finger; since we accidentally burned up that poor fellow in the calaboose; since we used to shoot spool cannons;, & cannons made of keys, while that envied & hated Henry Beebe drowned out our poor little pop-guns with his booming brazen little artillery on wheels; since Laura Hawkins was my [sweetheart——————] 4
Hold! That rouses me out of my dream, & brings me violently back unto this day & this generation. For behold I have at this moment the only sweetheart I ever loved, & bless her old heart she is lying asleep upstairs in a bed that I sleep in every night, & for four whole days she has been Mrs. Samuel L. Clemens! 5
I am 34 & she is 24; I am young & very handsome (I make the statement with the fullest confidence, for I got it from her,) & she is much the most beautiful girl I ever saw (I said that before she was anything to me, & so it is worthy of all belief) & she is the best girl, & the sweetest, & the gentlest, & the daintiest, & the most modest & unpretentious, & the wisest in all things she should be wise in & the most ignorant in all matters it would not grace her to know, & she is sensible & quick, & loving & faithful, forgiving, full of charity—& her beautiful life is ordered by a religion that is all kindliness & unselfishness. Before the gentle majesty of her purity all evil things & evil ways & evil deeds stand abashed,—then surrender. Wherefore without effort, or struggle, or spoken exorcism, all the old vices & shameful habits that have possessed me these many many years, are falling away, one by one, & departing into the darkness.
Bill, I know whereof I speak. I am too old & have moved about too much, & rubbed against too many people not to know human beings as well as we used to know "boils" from "[breaks."] 6
She is the very most perfect gem of womankind that ever I saw in my life—& I will stand by that remark till I die.
William, old boy, her father surprised us a little, the other night. We all arrived here in a night train (my little wife & I were going to board,) & under pretense of taking us to the private boarding house that had been selected for me while I was absent lecturing in New England, my new father-in-law & some old friends drove us in sleighs to the [daintiest,] darlingest, loveliest little palace in America—& when I said "Oh, this [won't do]—people who can afford to live in this sort of style won't take boarders," that same blessed father-in-law let out the secret that this was all our property—a present from [himself.] House & furniture cost $40,000 in cash, (including stable, horse & carriage), & is a most exquisite little palace (I saw no apartment in Europe so lovely as our little drawing-room.)
Come along, you & Mollie,7 just whenever you can, & pay us a visit, (giving us a little notice [beforehand],) & if we don't make you comfortable nobody in the world can.
[{And] now ‸my‸ princess has come down for dinner (bless me, isn't it cosy, nobody but just us two, & three servants to wait on us & respectfully call us "Mr." and "Mrs. Clemens" instead of "Sam." & "Livy!") It took me many a year to work up to where I can put on style, but now I'll do [it. My] book gives me an income like a small lord, & my paper is not a good [ po profitable] concern.8
Dinner's ready. Good bye & g God bless you, old friend, & keep your heart fresh & your memory green for the old days that will never come again.
Yrs always
Sam. Clemens.

Clemens was at the Lafayette Street Presbyterian Church, which he and Olivia attended regularly during
their first few months in Buffalo (13 Feb 70 to
Fairbanks; 19 June 70 to the Langdons; Reigstad 1990, 1–2). Mentioned by Olivia: domestics
Ellen White and Harriet, the former a Langdon family servant who, according to Olivia's cousin Hattie Lewis,
was "installed as housekeeper" (Paff, 7),
but also seems to have been the cook; coachman Patrick McAleer (1846–1906), who served the Clemenses almost
without interruption until 1891; four of the remaining Langdon household staff (Laura, Mary Crossey, Mary Green, Mrs.
Barnes); Emma Sayles; John D. F. Slee; Eunice Ford; Susan and Theodore Crane; and, possibly, Anna Marsh Brown (16 Apr 70 to Crane; 11 June 70 to White; MTB, 1:396; 15 May 72 and 10 June 74, both to OC and MEC, CU-MARK; 26–27? July 72 to MEC, CU-MARK;

TxU), is copy-text where extant; a photocopy of TS, a transcription typed by William Bowen and sent to his friend Albert Richardson Gunnison on 31 May 1887, is copy-text for the remainder. Even where MS survives, however, it has deteriorated, the paper is discolored, and the ink is faded in places to illegibility or near illegibility. Where the MS is extant but illegible, the Bowen TS serves as a source for emended readings. The TS was made on an all-capitals typewriter and shows a number of typographical quirks (intermittent failure to space words after punctuation, letters typed over each other, portions of words canceled at the ends of lines when there was not enough room to complete the word). Where TS serves as copy-text, the capital letters are silently rendered as lowercase except for "I," proper names and titles, place names, and words at the beginning of sentences. In addition, the strictly typographical quirks described above are not recorded. All other emendations are listed below.
Previous publication:
L4, 50–55; In 1989, before the Bowen TS was
discovered, the Mark Twain Project published a text in Inds, 20–23, which was based in part on three transcripts: a typed transcription at CtHMTH, and two published transcriptions, SLC 1938, 8–10, and SLC 1941, 18–21. All derive directly or indirectly from
the Bowen TS.
Provenance:The surviving MS was donated to TxU in the summer of 1940 by Eva
Laura Bowen (Mrs. Louis Knox), daughter of William Bowen (Hornberger, 7 n. 12, 10). A photocopy of William Bowen's TS was given to the Mark Twain Papers in 1993
by Gunnison's granddaughters, Barbara Gunnison Anderson, Alberta Gunnison Stock, and Marion Gunnison
Emendations and textual notes: MS is copy-text for ' c . . . back' (50.1–51.26) TS is copy-text for 'unto . . . father-in-law' (51.27–52.19) MS is copy-text for 'let out . . . Clemens.' (52.19–37)

The Supreme Court handed down their decision last week and it seems nobody is really very happy with the opinions. The conservatives are upset that the court has ruled that the government has a right to require citizens to purchase a product whether or not they want to purchase that product. The White House folks are upset that Justice Roberts called the penalties a tax since it will be collected by the IRS and Justice Roberts was defending his actions by stating it wasn't the role of the Supreme Court to protect the citizens from bad legislation and inept actions of their elected leaders.
The ruling opens up numerous possibilities for the government to usurp more of our freedoms and many in this country are more than happy to trust that the government is here to help them.
The reality is that governmental programs expand and tend to grow way beyond the intent of the original concept when the idea became a law. Look at Social Security which was intended to supplement a retired person's pension and savings. This New Deal plan has grown into a support for children whose parents have been killed or died. Those children draw support to age 21. Illegal aliens are permitted to get governmental assistance through this program as well.
Look at the EPA. It was touted as a protection for our coastlands against the evil oil companies and a protection of endangered species. Nobody intended it to be a weapon against everyone who chooses to build or develop their own property but we all know many folks and many instances where the EPA regulations have driven folks into bankruptcy trying to fight those unreasonable regulations developed by unelected bureaucrats.
The current administration could now look at what they have done and see a path to another stimulus spending program. Since the government now owns General Motors the government could improve its profit margin by requiring all citizens to purchase an American made car every five years or pay a tax penalty. The newer cars are good for the environment so the EPA will be happy and the car dealers will be happy to employ more sales folks.
The Government may now turnaround the Solyndra problem by requiring all citizens to purchase American made solar equipment or face paying a tax. That half a billion dollar loan loss will turn into a good investment once we are mandated to buy the products.
Looking at the wisdom of the decision on the Affordable Health Care Act, which the White House now refers to as Obamacare, one must remember that just because the Supreme Court ruled in a certain manner it doesn't mean it is a great decision. My liberal friends did not agree with the decision that my friends claim "stole the election from Al Gore." If we look at the Dred Scott decision the Supreme Court ruled that a slave could not sue for his freedom just because he had lived with his owner in a state where slavery was illegal. That case was a rallying point to end the slavery issue through other means.
The Plessey vs. Ferguson decision which stated that "separate but equal is equal" stated that it was acceptable to have segregation and segregated areas in our nation. Roe vs. Wade stated it was okay to kill unborn children.
So let's remember that the Supreme Court has rendered faulty decisions that have offended both sides of the political spectrum.
The recent decision does do us one favor as a people. The Court has not protected us from this issue and so it is up to us to decide and this election will be a benchmark election. Romney states he will repeal Obamacare if elected and President Obama states he will make us go forward. "Forward" meaning to the elimination of private health care as we know it. In March of 2007 Barrack Obama told a gathering of union folks that his goal and plan was to eliminate private health care and replace it with a governmental program. He cautioned it might take 20 years but it would happen. 2027 is only 15 years away.
The economy is not doing well and Obamacare is "an albatross around the neck of the Democrat Party," according to former Governor Ed Rendale who also has served as the chairman of the DNC.
The choice is ours to make.

Sophomore Shelby Beasley posted a team-best 16 digs Sunday against Southern Miss.
Oct. 30, 2011
Southern Miss 3, East Carolina 0
GREENVILLE, N.C. - Southern Miss hit .264 and limited East Carolina to a .080 percentage to cruise to a 3-0 Conference USA victory Sunday at Minges Coliseum. The Pirates fall to 2-20 overall and 0-13 in C-USA play while the Golden Eagles are now 12-13 and 6-7.
Amanda Lutzow and Kelly Derby ended up with eight kills apiece to lead the offensive attack for ECU, combining for 16 of the Pirates' 28 kills. Defensively, Shelby Beasley collected 16 digs to complement five total blocks by Derby. Setters Kasey Kavanaugh and Zarah Cecich split the duty during the match, recording assist totals of 13 and 12, respectively.
Southern Miss had little trouble on offense, tallying 45 kills on 110 attempts with just 16 errors. The Golden Eagles also held the upper hand in digs (57-42) and total blocks (8.0-7.0).
At the outset of the first frame, Southern Miss raced to a 10-3 lead and drew a timeout from the East Carolina bench. The Golden Eagles then extended the advantage to 18-8 and 22-10 before winning the set 25-17.
The Pirates called another early timeout in the second interval when Southern Miss scored five of the first six points. Staying aggressive with their serving, the Golden Eagles built on the lead and pushed in front 11-4 with a kill by Amelia Hendrickson. Southern Miss cruised from there, holding ECU to just 11 points in the set.
After intermission, the Pirates began to find some success, establishing a 10-7 cushion on a kill by Britney Roper. However, the Golden Eagles stopped East Carolina's momentum, scoring the next six points to move ahead 13-10. The Pirates rallied multiple times, pulling to within 20-19 when Lauren Sears committed an attack error, but a 5-0 run clinched the sweep for Southern Miss.
ECU embarks on its last road trip of the season next weekend, traveling to Houston for a pair of matches with Rice at Tudor Fieldhouse. The Pirates and Owls begin the two-contest set Saturday, Nov. 5 at 7:30 p.m.

The house we grow up in always has special significance, even after moving away many years ago. I left this house on March 30th, 1962 at the tender age of 19, and emigrated to Montreal, Canada. I've been back two or three times since, but on this journey in April 2006,I decided to walk from the station at Rickmansworth to Endways, and then walk back to Rickmansworth through the countryside along some public footpaths.
