Bora Bora Fireballs by Melissa Joulwan
Melissa Joulwan has entered this recipe in the Mobile Skillet "Cooking App Star" Recipe Contest. Vote for your favorites on Pinterest.
These exotic meatballs came to me in a dream. I woke up with tumbling thoughts about a lush combination of pineapple, succulent pork, and creamy-sweet coconut. I was haunted by images of tikis and luaus. The only way to clear my mind was to surrender to the kitchen gods. These tasty little devils were included in my cookbook Well Fed: Paleo Recipes For People Who Love To Eat. These taste even better the second day, so if you can endure the wait, you will be rewarded.
Bora Bora Fireballs
6 servings
1 1/2 cups shredded coconut
3 cloves garlic
3 to 4 scallions
1/2 fresh jalapeño
1 cup canned crushed pineapple, packed in its own juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons coconut aminos
1 1/2 teaspoons dried ginger
1 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
2 large eggs
2 pounds ground pork
1. Preheat oven to 375 F. Cover a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil; set aside. Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, then add the coconut. Toast, stirring often with a wooden spoon, until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
2. Peel and crush garlic cloves and cut the scallion into very thin slices. Remove the ribs and seeds from the jalapeno, then finely mince. Set aside.
3. Drain the can of pineapple in a sieve placed over a bowl to catch the juice. Press the pineapple pulp against the sieve with a wooden spoon to extract excess moisture. Place the pineapple in a large mixing bowl and save the juice for later.
4. To the pineapple, add salt, coconut aminos, ginger, cayenne, garlic, scallions, jalapeño, and eggs. Beat with a wooden spoon until combined. Crumble the pork into the bowl and knead until combined.
5. Arrange bowls of pineapple juice, toasted coconut, and pork for easy access. Measure a level tablespoon of pork to make a meatball, lightly douse in pineapple juice, then roll in the coconut, gently pressing the coconut shreds into the meat. Line up the meatballs on the prepared baking sheet, about 1/2 inch apart.
6. Slide the meatballs into the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, until sizzling and golden brown.

I can't wait to try these! They look amazing.
Looks fab, what are coconut aminos?
I don't think I'm gonna be able to hold off until the 2nd day, but maybe there will be leftovers… I can only hope!
These look dreamy! What are coconut aminos?
I made these for a large family gathering at my house and they were a huge hit! Everyone loved them especially when dipped in Melissa's Sunshine sauce.
Substituted ground turkey and cut the baking time. Absolutely awesome.
Making these now for tomorrow but realized i have no idea how to store and reheat for tomorrow after they are cooked….advice? And i can already tell that these have no choice but to be amazing!


text: Kijiji, eBay's online classified service, has landed in the United States with a resounding thud. To see why, just visit the site and compare it to Craigslist. Kijiji shows would-be users a punishingly slow, Flash-animated map of the U.S.; Craigslist, by contrast, loads an imageless list of cities in less than a second. The result is plain to see in the number of listings each site has attracted; Kijiji's take of the U.S. classifieds market, so far, is microscopic. eBay spokesman Hani Durzy brags to News.com about how much the auction site has supposedly learned from Craigslist, in which it took a 25 percent stake three years ago. What do they say about leading a horse to water?

Bio and Links
Have a background in teaching, journalism, system design, and most recently library and information science. On the side I write reviews and am pretty good at it. Considered smart but I see it as nerdy or just quirky.
I have always liked cemeteries and have always gotten a kick out of what they hide. I'm lucky that my husband and friends put up with me and all the cemetery trips. I have gotten pretty efficient at cyber searching which often renders results in minutes instead of weeks or months. Gift or curse? Not sure.
Recent favorite cemetery is almost anything on either coast.
On other fronts, had spent the past couple of years reading everything on Richard III's bones. I figured it was my fascination with cemeteries and mysteries. A recent DNA test revealed that Richard and I share the same mtl haplogroup. Now this is freaking me out. I am now one of his millions of genetic relatives.
That's All Folks.

Dates for Anita Page's husband
Hello! I'm trying to add a record for Anita Page's husband, RADM Herschel Austin House, who graduated from the US Naval Academy in 1930. Your picture of their joint headstone is the only source I can find of the dates is the photo of their joint headstone, but I can't read his dates very well. Do you have another photo, or can you read the dates? Thanks!

RE: George Powers
What an amazing family history! Few other things, if you don't mind sharing.
So Rosa Dashevsky never came to the U.S.? She had Lilly out of wedlock?
Any idea who Nathan Poberesky was? (Lived at same address as Shapsie for a bit).
Shapsie was married once in Ukraine before Tuba. Had a son Pete Pober by 1st wife.
Any more clues on the Rabbi Gersh Dashevsky?
Also I saw a record listing TUBA as in trouble for bigamy. Maybe it was her filing some complaint against Shapsie. But it an alias for her as Tanya Siegel.
BTW -- my Poberesky side were also active radicals. My 2x-great, grandmother Katia Poberesky Tsibulevsky (Siebel) was one of the six speakers at the very first anti-conscription rallies against WWI. Friends with Emma Goldman and Alexander Berkman. Her daughter dated Alexander Gumberg for years (I have 20 of his letters to her) -- he was Soviet spy and Trotsky's roommate for a bit. etc etc.
There was a Dashevsky (Pinhus Dashevsky) was tried to assassinate a journalist who had instigated the huge 1903 pogrom in Ukraine. Could be a relative of yours and/or mine.

RE: Benjamin Gardner
I knew about your husbands (older?) brothers Arthur and William, but didn't know about Tom.
I love to get a copy of the great-grandfather DASHEVSKY.
Anything you have on DASHEVSKYs or Sam/Shapsie POBERESKY (and his father Avraham Meir) I'd be interested in.
Do you have cousins who have researched more of these lines? Anyone do the AncestryDNA yet?

RE: Benjamin Powers
Hi Gail, I havent yet found how Benjamin is related to my POBERESKYs. His grandfather Avraham (and dad Shapsie) were from the same area of the Ukraine as mine. Benjamin's mother was a DASHEVSKY and my 3x-great grandmother was a DASHEVSKY who married a POBERESKY too. Avraham was a recurring name in my POBER lines..... I've been interested to learn more about Benjamin. He was a noted Communist and labor activists and was involved in the Spanish Civil War. Interesting that he changes his name so radically to GARDNER. Most other POBERESKy (POBEREZHSKY) just went to POBER here... My POBERs were all Communists as well. If you have any more info on that side of the POBERESKY tree please send along to me and maybe we can find the connection.

Mumbai, formerly known as Bombay, is the capital of the state of Maharashtra, the most populous city of India, and by some measures the most populous city in the world with an estimated population of about 13 million.
Mumbai is located on Salsette Island, off the west coast of Maharashtra. Along with its neighbouring suburbs, it forms the world's sixth most populous metropolitan area. The city has a deep natural harbour and the port handles over half of India's passenger traffic and a significant amount of cargo.
Mumbai has attracted migrants from all over India because of the immense business opportunities, and the relatively high standard of living, making the city a potpourri of various communities and cultures. The city is home to India's Hindi film and television industry, known as Bollywood. Mumbai is also one of the rare cities to accommodate a national park, the Sanjay Gandhi National Park, within its city limits.
Please note that all passengers travelling to India and connecting onto a domestic flight need to clear their baggage through customs at the first airport of entry in India and hand it over to the transfer desk. This requirement is mandatory, even if the baggage has been tagged with its final destination in India.

Whenever the skin gets wet after hiking for ten minutes or so, it starts to slip out of the clip. I had to superglue one of them in because it won't work period, but for the "quality" of the skin, there shouldn't be a problem as ridiculous as this.
Hi Just bought myself a pair of moment...
Just bought myself a pair of moment exit world and pomoca free skins.. I find it a bit difficult to attach the tip loop because of the wide / square tip of the ski (exit world).. Do you Know if its possible to change the tip loop to something else? Maybe G3 ? Thx
Hi there - check out the Pomoca Adjustable Loop (POM0012 in the search bar). Might be just the ticket.

PLAYBACK: Preparing Students for Learning in the Digital Age
2.4.11 | Early childhood advocates explore digital media; a teacher responds to the State of the Union; PBS documentary examines 21st-century learners; report on technology and learning in afterschool spaces, museums and libraries; and digital learning expands in D.C.
Transmedia for 2-year-olds?: Last week we reported on Michael Levine's call for more research on digital media and preschool age children. Lisa Guernsey, writing at the New American Foundation's Early Ed Watch blog, says the tide may be turning.
Guernsey, director of New America's Early Education Initiative and the author of "Into the Minds of Babes: How Screen Time Affects Children From Birth to Age 5," says she's seeing new interest among those in child development circles around media to support children's learning.
In the old world, children's media – namely television – was usually something to be passively absorbed at home. But today children are gaining access to media that encourages – no, requires – some interaction on their part. Couldn't that interaction bring with it the potential for harnessing that media to enrich children's learning in many promising ways, in and out of school?
As evidence, she points to a new position paper on technology from the National Association for the Education of Young Children and a recent roundtable discussion at the Fred Rogers Center for Early Learning and Children's Media. Guernsey is also optimistic about the new awards in the federal Ready to Learn Television competition that gave grants to promote educational television and "transmedia storytelling" for kids ages 2 to 8.
Plus: Listen to Guernsey's interview with The Cooney's Center's Carly Shuler and Cynthia Chiong, in this podcast: Apps, iPhones and Young Kids. Shuler and Chiong are the authors of "Learning: Is There An App for That?"
State of the Union, a Teacher's POV: Antero Garcia, an English teacher at Manual Arts High School in South Central Los Angeles, a high poverty school with a dropout rate of more than 60 percent, wrote a thoughtful response to the State of the Union speech, focusing on using digital media to connect with students. U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan posted it on the Huffington Post.
While applauding the president's call to connect "every part of America to the digital age" and to make sure the country is "poised for progress," Garcia urges policymakers not to forget his students, many of whom have learning needs not being met by traditional educational models.
In addition to "financial compensation, non-privatized models of instruction, and increased resources for schools with the most need," Garcia says we must embrace new ways to teach and connect with all students.
Every text message sent from behind a propped textbook, every confiscated headphone and accidental ringtone going off in class is a reminder that students are communicating and producing information in ways that traditional schooling is unprepared for.
You may remember Garcia from his work developing Digital Media and Learning Competition winner "Black Cloud," an alternate reality game that teaches environmental literacy. Garcia is also a teaching ambassador fellow with the U.S. Department of Education.
New Learners Documentary: For ideas on how to engage today's kids through technology, make sure to watch a new PBS documentary airing on Feb. 13, "Digital Media: New Learners of the 21st Century." Watch the preview below:
Watch the full episode. See more Digital Media - New Learners Of The 21st Century.
Plus: With funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, PBS has just launched the Digital Learning Object Academy (DLOA), where PBS media producers will work to develop targeted digital media content for 6th-grade students.
Out-of-School Learning Counts: The newly released "Digital Media and Technology in Afterschool Programs, Libraries, and Museums," part of the MacArthur Reports on Digital Media and Learning, examines the ways after-school programs, libraries and museums use digital media to support extracurricular learning.
Authors Becky Herr-Stephenson, Diana Rhoten, Dan Perkel and Christo Sims look at a range of programs including the long-running Computer Clubhouse movement, 826 Valenica, Youth Radio and the J. Paul Getty's presence in Whyville.net to understand how these organizations are using digital media to support learning. The authors call for more research to understand the possibilities technology offers.
Plus: Whyville's Great Books Roundhouse, a new virtual reading space for middle school students, has just opened in whyville.net. The first room is built around Beauty and the Beast by Madame de Villeneuve, originally published in 1740. In the Roundhouse, a partnership with the Great Books Foundation, students can discuss the book's themes, download an abridged version, and even role-play characters in the book using avatars. More rooms devoted to different books are planned. For more read Spotlight's "Great books, Great Games."
On the Mall: Finally, we'll be keeping an eye on the Smithsonian's Hirshhorn Museum and its plans to set up a new digital learning center on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. Hirshhorn is building a "21st-century classroom," with support from the MacArthur Foundation, Pearson Foundation, Nokia and the Entertainment Software Association Foundation.
The project will extend its current ARTLAB+ programs, which "support a conversion from passive content consumption to active content production. Using the model of a professional design studio, students work with the Museum's exhibitions and collection as a way to explore art in the context of contemporary ideas about technology and culture."

Plus, Great Minds Think Alike: As part of a workshop with the Smithsonian's Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum, teens in New York City came up with their own solution to clean up the city's transportation system: an eco-friendly bus and street-cleaning hybrid vehicle with a rooftop garden.
Monica Valente, youth programs manager at Cooper-Hewitt, was pleased to see a similarly designed bus by New York City designer Marco Antonio Castro Cosio in a post on Urban Gardens. Great minds think alike, indeed. Cooper-Hewitt is part of a new collaboration of cultural institutions working to extend learning beyond the classroom. Read more in this Spotlight feature.

House GOP Allows Some Compromise in Bid to Focus NSF on Economic Value
A Congressional panel on Thursday approved legislation that would flatten the budget of the National Science Foundation and revive past attempts to tie the agency's spending on research to a definable economic payback.
The measure, a policy-setting...

The Franklin County Salvation Army helps residents with rent and utilities, helps find shelter for the homeless and school supplies for kids but there's a problem.
"We are in dire need of financial assistance to help keep our service unit going,
till our bell ringing starts November the first, said Salvation Army Chair, Beth Wooten.
Because of its size, the Salvation Army operates as an emergency service, and it doesn't receive help from headquarters.
For every dollar that Franklin County Salvation Army receives, 10 cents goes to headquarters. Volunteers for the organization say its services are much needed in the community.
"It's very vital because there's a lot of people in Franklin County; there electricity would be cut off, they could be evicted, they not have food or clothing for their kids when school starts.
The Jones family is currently being help by Salvation Army. After leaving Florida to find better jobs, the family of four became homeless.
The organization is putting them up in a hotel. In the past Angela Jones donated to Salvation Army through her pay check. She never thought it would be her saving grace.
"It's less stress, that's basically what it is. Instead of me sitting here going "oh my gosh" we're in a car and who's going to find us this way, we're sitting in a hotel room and we're safe, said Angela Jones.
Our situation is desperate and we need the help for the people of Franklin County.
Donations can be sent to Salvation Army, P.O. Box 161 Glade Hill, Va. 24092.

This might be general to classes other than beamer, but my problem is specifically with beamer.
The main beamer site lists an example, which I've reproduced below. The only thing I've changed is the title, to Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb.
The footer at the bottom has the entire title, but it is cut off. Is there a command to either
a) change the footer to only display a truncated version, OR
b) have some kind of combination of a title and a "minititle," so I could say
\title{Dr. Strangelove}
\minititle{or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb}
And the footer would display title and the first page would display both title and minititle?
use the optional argument:
Read Section 3.3 (Title material, p. 17) of the beamer manual.

Best Face Wipes Ever!4/05/2011
These are by far the best face wipes I have ever tried. My friend introduced me to these when her son was an infant and I was drawn to the soft "baby" Mustela scent then learned how great they are for cleaning. They are extremely gentle for sensitve skin. They leave the skin feeling fresh, clean, and smooth. The pleasant Mustela scent is one of my favorites. They are great for "removing the day" and take off makeup and are great for travel. This is a makeup artists best friend for prepping the skin, removing makeup or... keep in the purse or gym bag. P.S. They remove mascara too.
Pros: soothing, gentle, refreshing, non-greasy

- Mambo Italiano has its share of very funny moments, but they are trapped in a production whose drama is unsubtle, obvious, and at times downright insipid.
- Example sentences
- But the point can be made so frequently and unsubtly - and even ham-handedly - by the convention organisers that it frequently assumes something of the character of self-caricature.
- On the eve of the vote, an exhibit of Anne Frank memorabilia was brought to town and high school students were asked, unsubtly, to draw parallels to examples of intolerance in their community.

Let's face it, there are as many ways to get fired from jobs with horses as there are grains of sand on the beach. However, here are ten "no brainers" that are easy to avoid.
1. Don't be late or absent from the job without a good excuse and without letting your employer know in advance.
2. Remember that the person who pays the bills gets to make the final decisions. Don't insist on doing things your own way against the decision of your boss.
3. Don't say bad things about your horse job, your employer, or your employer's business to other people. If you have an issue with your equine employer, take it directly to your employer.
4. Don't compete with your employer. For instance, if you have horses to sell, keep them at another location and don't mix them with your bosses herd. Your equine employer will not appreciate it if your horse gets sold over your employer's horse.
5. Don't drink or do drugs on the job. This should be obvious.
6. Don't lie on your resume or an employment application. If you are found out, you may lose your job even if you are lucky enough to get by with the deception initially.
7. Don't say you can do something unless you can really do it well. Pretending and then failing does not sit well with employers.
8. Get along with other employees and don't "lord it over them." If you cannot be a team player, you may get cut from the team.
9. Don't be careless around the horses. Leaving gates open, smoking in the barn, forgetting to fill water buckets, or putting horses in dangerous situations can lead to disasters. Repeating the performance may get you fired.
10. If you live in employer provided housing, don't invite friends to visit if they will not respect the owner's property and go where they are not authorized to go.

AMY MCCONNELL has been performing from the age of nine months when she appeared in her first television commercial. Amy continued her childhood career as one of the principals on the TfO TV series "Téléfrançais" and also performed in various professional musical theatrical productions.
Amy went on to win a scholarship to study musical theatre performance at the American Academy of Musical and Dramatic Arts in Manhattan. Studying acting made Amy feel (and it has had this effect on countless actors before her) that what she really wanted to do was direct.
Amy returned to Toronto to study film at Ryerson Polytechnic University and has since become an award winning film and commercial director. However, Amy has never been able to resist the siren song of… song and she splits her time between her film production and music careers. "Stealing Genius" is her first album and the reception from the Canadian jazz community has been outstanding.
Despite her anglophone name, Amy comes from a francophone background, is fluently bilingual and frequently performs in French. Known for her beautiful voice, impeccable intonation and emotional approach, Amy's style encompasses jazz, pop and musical theatre.
WILLIAM SPERANDEI (trumpeter, pianist) is a Toronto musician, composer, arranger, and bandleader. His love of the trumpet began in grade school where he studied privately with Bram Smith. He continued his education at Wilfrid Laurier University in Waterloo, Ontario, on a full scholarship and for two and a half years studied classical music and played in diverse ensembles including orchestra, wind ensemble, brass trio, and jazz ensemble, as well as leading his own jazz quintet.
At the recommendation of Wynton Marsalis, Sperandei left Canada to continue his studies at the University of New Orleans under the direction of Ellis Marsalis. During the time he lived in Louisiana, he played with some of the best of the best including Nicholas Payton, Marcus Roberts, Ellis Marsalis, Harold Battiste, Victor Goines, Charmaine Neville, and Harry Connick Jr. and in 1992, two years prior to his graduation from the UNO, he opened for Wynton Marsalis at the Rome Jazz Festival. It was during the same 1992 European tour Sperandei undertook a stint teaching jazz improvisation at the University of Innsbruck in Austria
Possessing wide-ranging performance skills, William Sperandei has played Polish Opera, Flamenco music, worked with Canadian soul/pop artist, Gerald Eaton (Jarvis Church), and blues legend Colin James. He is a respected sideman on the Toronto jazz circuit in live performance and in the recording studios. He performs in two classical ensembles – The Niagara Brass, led by former tutor and internationally renowned recitalist James Tinsley, and a classical ensemble headed by Charles Schlueter, principal trumpet of the Boston Symphony Orchestra.
William has played with Wynton Marsalis, Charmaine Neville, Ned Gould, Brian Blade, Marcus Roberts, Paul Anka, Andrea Bocelli, David Foster, Ron Sexsmith, Lori Cullen, Robi Botos, Nicholas Payton and more. As a player, William has appeared on over 100 recordings in the classical, jazz, pop, electronic and film genres and has also arranged music for dozens of artists.
William recently performed as the trumpet of Louis Armstrong in the live film score for the biopic "Louis" written by Wynton Marsalis.

What is the risk of a "runaway constitutional convention"?
How can Arkansas state legislators force Congress to hold back on federal debt limit increases? Our newest paper argues that Arkansas state legislators can have a beneficial impact on Congress by proposing changes to our federal Constitution.
In Arkansas, State Senator Jason Rapert has recently introduced SJR 1, the National Debt Relief Amendment. This resolution is a call for a convention, under Article V of the federal Constitution, to consider a federal constitutional amendment – one that would block any increase in the federal debt unless that increase had been approved by a majority of state legislatures. Two-thirds of the states must call for a convention in order to trigger Article V: two other states have already passed similar resolutions, and so the passage of this resolution by 31 more states would trigger an Article V convention (also known as an "amendments convention").
The NDRA proposal raises many questions of policy and law. Some constitutional experts argue that an Article V convention might become a "runaway convention" that could ultimately create major changes in the Constitution, while other experts argue that this could never happen. But a few indisputable facts are worth noting.

Gone and forgotten
MONTREAL – One game does not a best-of-seven playoff series make.
That was the consensus inside the Candiens' locker room after Michel Therrien's troops were downed 7-2 by the New York Rangers on Saturday afternoon in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals at the Bell Centre.
Following a lackluster effort on home turf, Rene Bourque didn't mince words when it came to explaining why the Habs were manhandled in the series-opener just days removed from sending the Presidents' Trophy winning Bruins packing in dramatic fashion in Round 2.
"We got our asses kicked all over the ice. Plain and simple. They came out strong. We just weren't sharp. We weren't sharp anywhere," offered Bourque, who scored his fifth goal of the playoffs in the loss. "I don't think anyone really played well. When it came to loose pucks, they outcompeted us. We took some penalties, and they capitalized. That's basically what happened.
"I think there was a bit of an emotional letdown after the Boston series. We talked about that going into the game," added the Lac La Biche, AB native, who now sits tied for the team lead in goals during the postseason alongside Lars Eller and Thomas Vanek. "Obviously, it didn't click. We'll forget about this game and move on."
That being said, Therrien insists the lopsided defeat will ultimately force his contingent to take a long look in the mirror heading into Game 2 on Monday night in La Belle Province.
"We weren't ready mentally or physically to play this game. It showed right from the start. We were making mistakes and we didn't compete, and that's the result of it," stressed the Canadiens' bench boss, who, like Bourque, admitted the Rangers outplayed them in every aspect of the game on Saturday afternoon.
"You never want to lose a game, but it's going to bring us back to earth. It will force us as a group to make sure that we have to be ready to compete and play every night to give us a chance to win," continued Therrien. "We'll put that game behind us. We're going to move forward from this. It's a good lesson."
It's safe to say the Canadiens were taught multiple lessons in Game 1, the most important of which was that taking Alain Vigneault's squad lightly would be a costly mistake. The Rangers are riding high after eliminating the Penguins in the Eastern Conference Semifinals, and have clearly rallied around star forward Martin St. Louis following the sudden loss of his mother on May 8.
"The Rangers are a good hockey team. They just beat the Pittsburgh Penguins. They're one of the best teams in the league, too," praised Therrien, before putting the onus on his players to use the defeat as motivation to turn things around in short order. "The bottom line is that we didn't play our game. That's the most important thing. We didn't give ourselves a chance in this hockey game. We're going to regroup, and make sure that come next game we'll compete a lot harder and be more alert."
Fortunately, the Canadiens escaped the tilt with a healthy Carey Price in tow after Rangers forward Chris Kreider accidentally collided with the three-time All-Star in the second period. Price closed out the frame, but backup Peter Budaj was between the pipes to start the third period. In his post-game press conference, Therrien insisted the move wasn't injury-related, pointing out that the Canadiens were down 4-1 through 40 minutes of play and the game was simply out of reach which made the choice to go with Budaj an easy one.
Scheduled to get back to work on Sunday morning at the Bell Sports Complex in Brossard, the Habs know full well that they're capable of a lot more than they showed their fans in Game 1.
"We know we can be a lot better than that," confessed P.K. Subban. "We'll be ready to play next game. There's so much hockey left to play in this series. We've already put this one behind us."

Among Grandma's pioneer stories was
a tale that always held us children spellbound.
When she was first married, she had
an old moon-eyed horse. She rode the horse one evening to the home of a
neighbor to get a setting of eggs. It was a distance of 2 miles, and half of it
was through a dense woods.
It wasn't quite dark when she went
over, but by the time she started back it was cloudy and very black. When she
entered the pitch-dark woods on her return trip, she heard the scream of a
panther close behind her.
The horse was as frightened as
Grandma, and he stumbled through the brush and under tree limbs with Grandma
hanging on for dear life. The horse could not see well and kept getting off the
trail. The panther could be heard getting closer and closer as he crashed through
the brush or jumped from tree limb to tree limb.
When Grandma and the horse finally
reached a clearer area, the panther stayed behind. Grandma's long hair had
fallen down and was snarled with twigs and brush. Her hands and face were badly
scratched. And the eggs? They were still in the basket with the handle looped
over her arm, but there wasn't a good one left. I guess Grandma was lucky the
horse couldn't see well, or she never would have been able to stay on.
Velma SipesUnionville,
Back in 1955 a call
went out from the editors of the then CAPPER's WEEKLY asking for readers to send
in articles on true pioneers. Hundreds of letters came pouring in from early
settlers and their children, many now in their 80s and 90s, and from
grandchildren of settlers, all with tales to tell. So many articles were
received that a decision was made to create a book, and in 1956, the first My
Folks title – My Folks Came in a
Covered Wagon – hit the shelves. Nine
other books have since been published in the My Folks series, all filled to the brim with true tales from CAPPER's readers, and we are proud to
make those stories available to our growing online community.

In Case You Missed It…
A few stories of note from this week:
Ally Financial is selling shares in a bid to bolster capital levels and ultimately move toward escaping federal ownership, Andrew R. Johnson reported for the Wall Street Journal. Private Equity Beat has learned that Cerberus Capital Management, the New York firm that owns an 8.7% stake in the bank, is planning to buy some of those Ally shares.
The Securities and Exchange Commission filed charges against former Oppenheimer Holdings fund manager Brian Williamson, accusing him of misleading investors by inflating the value of Oppenheimer Global Resource Private Equity Fund LP. Mr. Williamson denied the wrongdoing, Kaitlyn Kiernan writes for The Wall Street Journal.
Chesapeake Energy former chief executive, Aubrey McClendon, has gathered more than $1 billion in financing from two energy-focused private equity firms for a new oil and gas exploration company in Ohio, reports the WSJ's Daniel Gilbert, Greg Zuckerman and Ryan Dezember. The financing comes amid a lull in privately sponsored oil and gas deals.

Whether you are a collector of cars or traveling abroad, there are many reasons you might need to store your vehicle for an extended period of time. Taking a few easy steps can be taken to ensure your vehicle remains in the same condition as the day that you put it into storage…
Paperwork – Make sure all of your documents are in order. If you need to renew your registration or insurance policy do it prior to storing your vehicle to prevent any problems when the time comes to take it out of storage.
Engine Oil – Change your engine oil and oil filter. You may also want to consider changing your transmission fluid and brake fluid if you are going to be storing a long time and you haven't done so in a few years.
Cleaning Your Vehicle – It is essential to perform a thorough cleaning of your vehicle both inside and out. Wash, buff, and wax the exterior. Remove all trash and debris from the in interior and the trunk to make sure there is no odor build up. Treat leather seats, and clean the windows and windshield with Windex.
Battery – Fully charge your car battery, and then disconnect the battery cables. Failure to do so will result in a slow drain, and your car won't start when you return.
Gas – Fill your gas tank to capacity and use a fuel stabilizing additive to prevent collection of moisture in your fuel.
Critters – Make sure you don't leave any openings for critters to invade your vehicle. Close all windows, place a piece of steel wool in the exhaust pipe, and use a garbage bag to clog the air intake. Leave a note with the car keys to remind you to remove these items from the air intake and exhaust pipe that would cause serious problems.
Tires – Place your vehicle on jack stands while storing to prevent flat spots in your tires.

A Voice for Men: we'll support women in combat only if the proper percentage of women get killed.
As everyone reading this blog no doubt already knows, feminists have hailed the Pentagon's decision to open combat jobs to women, which will allow women the same opportunities to serve as men. The decision is also a backhanded acknowledgement that, for all intents and purposes, women are serving in combat today already. (Congresswoman Tammy Duckworth lost both of her legs in combat in Iraq – but officially, what she was engaged in wasn't combat.)
It seems inevitable that, as a result of this decision, young women will be required to sign up for selective service alongside men. While virtually all feminists I know oppose the draft, most agree that as long as registration is going to be required, it should be required for both men and women. Indeed, when selective service was reinstated in 1981, the National Organization for Women brought a lawsuit demanding this sort of equality.
Reaction amongst Men's Rightsers to the Pentagon's announcement has been mixed. Some have welcomed the change, as a "what's good for the goose" acknowledgement of equal rights and responsibilities. Others, like most of the regulars on The Spearhead, predict catastrophe, as inherently unqualified women are sent to the front lines. Regular Spearhead commenter Uncle Elmer joked:
After this experiment runs its course, how many men will have died while bringing tampon supplies up to the front?
Can anyone tell me the additional garbage load from tampon-related issues on all-women submarines? Could a mission fail if some gal flushed her tampon down the toilet instead of following the proper mil-spec procedure?
But the most telling reaction has come from A Voice for Men, which in an editorial suggested that it would only support the move if women were required to die as often as men.
No, really. Here's what the editorialist, presumably site founder Paul Elam, wrote:
AVFM supports the spirit of the new Pentagon Directive … However, any blanket approval of the new measure thus far would be premature. …
[T]he only way this new policy will have any meaning will be if it is mandatory that women face combat on the front lines. With 20% of the military being comprised of women, that means roughly 20% of combat related fatalities should be female. 1 in 5 of body bags being filled overseas should contain the bodies of mothers, sisters, daughters, wives and girlfriends.
AVFM isn't alone in hoping that one result of the Pentagon's new policy will be increased injury and death for women. On his blog the self-designated "counter-feminist agent of change" Fidelbogen quoted – with a weird sort of semi-approval – one comment from an unknown person he says he found online:
I know this isn't a laughing matter but this is pretty fucking sweet. Now those very same women who complain about how hard childbirth is get to experience real pain and misery by getting their arms blown off by enemy fire or their legs blown off by mines. Or getting infections when they have to stay at their post for days at a time without taking a bath. Those same women who say all men are rapists can now see what real rape is when they are taken as POW's and gang-raped by foreign men at gun point and passed around like a piece of meat and then their heads blown off when they are done. This is real war ladies, are you ready for your cup of true equality?
In the comments on AVFM, meanwhile one Rick Westlake helped to make clearer the vindictive subtext of the AVFM's editorial, suggesting that the Pentagon's decision could be good for men if it served to
rub … some high-ratcheted, 'entitled/empowered' noses in the misandric, disposable-male double standard of the Selective Service system.
Our current society, including our military, makes mock of 'equality' by divorcing 'opportunity' from 'consequences,' 'choices' from 'costs,' and 'benefits' from 'responsibility.' Princesses are awarded all of the opportunities, choices and benefits and are excused from all the responsibility, costs and consequences. 'Draft-pigs,' meaning men, are made to shoulder all those dirty, nasty, dangerous and demeaning responsibilities, consequences and costs on behalf of the Entitled Empowered Princesses.
Putting women on the combat line would be disastrous for the military … But the fact remains, enough Princesses have clamored for the 'opportunities and benefits' of serving in the front line, heedless of the consequences and the costs.
By requiring Princesses to register for Selective Service, before they can claim the benefits that 'draft-pigs' can only receive if they've registered – and by declaring them liable for the same fines and penalties as the draft-pigs, if they don't – we at least remind them that freedom isn't free, that choices have costs, and that true equality includes responsibility and consequences.
I can already hear the thin, reedy screeches from the Princesses. Fine. Let them learn what it is to hump 35-pound fifty-cal ammo cans to feed Ma Deuce in a firefight. Or let them scuttle back to the home and the hearth, and give thanks for (and to) the Brave Men who will defend them.
Elam himself echoed this vindictive "let them eat equality" stance in a sneering comment posted under his own name suggesting that in the wake of the Pentagon's new policy plenty of women won't find the "aroma" of equality to
be so sweet … This is what feminism was always about, and now, after three waves, the chickens are going to come home to roost. Because feminism never was about anything but creating tax paying, laboring, consuming, bleeding and dying servants to the masters of corporatocracy.
They lured women in with visions of corner offices and autonomy, and now that they have fully taken the bait, the doors are going to be slammed behind them and locked. They will be left to languish in their "freedom" as corporate wage slaves, and when needed they will be forced to contribute to the rivers of blood required to keep it going.
NOW and others will likely succeed in keeping the last part "optional" for while, but it won't last.
The grand daughters of today's college woman is as fucked as any man in history.
To which every feminist I know would say: bring it on. Feminists are well aware that equality, along with its many benefits, brings certain costs. Putting more women into combat roles means, inevitably, that more women will be injured or killed. The feminists supporting the Pentagon's decision are aware of this. Unlike many MRAs, though, they look at combat injuries and deaths as one of the sad but inevitable consequences of war — not as something to rub anyone's face into.
Here's a hint to any MRAs who think that either AVFM or the more blatantly sadistic commenter quoted by Fidelbogen has a point: Civil Rights activism is about uplifting everyone, not making others "pay."
When the American civil rights movement took up the issue of voting rights, civil rights activists demanded that black people be allowed to vote without harassment or other obstacles like "literacy tests" standing in their way.
Civil rights activists didn't demand that whites be kept from voting.
The Civil Rights movement called for historically all-white colleges to be opened up to blacks. It didn't call for white people to be banned from these colleges too.
This is how you can tell that the Men's Rights movement, as it stands today, is not a true civil rights movement. Because insofar as it is about anything other than complaining about (and sometimes harassing) feminists and women in general, it's about tearing down rather than building up.
Instead of trying to build domestic violence shelters and other services for men, for example, the MRM is more interested in defunding shelters for women – even when their efforts in this area directly harm male victims.
It's telling that when Father's Rights activist Glenn Sacks had an issue with the advertisements being run by one DV shelter, he encouraged his followers to bombard the shelter's donors with phone calls in order to cripple the shelter's fundraising efforts – even though the shelter in question also provides services for men. It's telling as well that MRAs rail endlessly against the Violence Against Women Act, and have celebrated Republican opposition to it – even though the act is officially gender neutral in everything but its name, and would provide funding for men's shelters if MRAs got off their asses to build any.
Instead of fighting for the rights of male victims of rape, the Men's Rights movement is more interested in downplaying the rape of women, wildly exaggerating the number of "false rape accusations," and in endless discussions about whether or not having sex with women incapacitated with drinks or drugs is really rape. All of these things contribute to a "rape culture" that harms male victims of rape as well as female.
Not that most MRAs actually care about male victims of rape except as a debating point — perhaps because that would require acknowledging that the overwhelming majority of their rapists are other men. (MRAs do get outraged in the rare cases in which women are the culprits.) The group that does more than any other to fight for male rape victims is the anti-prison rape group Just Detention. Try to find even a mention of this group on any of the leading Men's Rights sites. (The only mention of the group on AVFM is a comment in a post attacking a feminist writer noting that it isn't part of the Men's Rights movement.)
There are endless other examples, because this is in essence the way that the so-called "Men's Rights" movement does business.
When you take a certain pleasure in the notion of women being "made to pay" or otherwise harmed when they seek equality, you're about as much of a civil rights movement as the Klan.

@pecunium, I agree with what you said. The original comment implied strongly that women *never* actually do their trade. I suppose they do paperwork because the Army refuses to supply bonbons and scented fucking candles for them.
With your comment on rank and pay, that sounds a little different from how it has been in NZ, where there have been some pay differentials, pretty much around trying to attract people into hard-to-fill trades. There were lots of allowances too, but they've had an aggressive effort to try to reduce those down, which means some have been subsumed into base pay rates.
But yeah, the military have been known for being so progressive in their treatment of women, let alone any other subgroups.
Huzzah, pecunium heard our call!
TIL The pecunium-signal is totally a thing.
As someone who did a career in a CS role, one which had me spending significant time in the field with the Infantry, as well as being in mixed units; the number of women in "admin" slots whi just, "suck up promotions" is also at odds with my experience. Esp. as promotion past E5 are not at the commander's discretion, and are done by remote boards evaluating NCOERs, service schools, outside education, and Correspondence Courses.
I doubt heyheyhey wants come back and face this onslaught of facts. You were clearly an instructor, because you explain the shit out of everything. That's a compliment, you use tons of a Army jargon I've never heard before, yet I can always follow what your saying.
I've managed to avoid the blockquote monster for a long while, but the bastard has finally hunted me down.
Ninja'd right after falling victim to the blockquote monster. I blame Cloudiah's poster.
And I wrote "what your saying" instead of "what you're saying". I blame Cloudiah's poster again.

VIENNA - Despite the snow and cold on Saturday, the Mid-Ohio Valley Shaggers Club's 11th annual "Pinin' for the Summer" dance was not canceled.
Rick Fisher, president of the club, said organizers were expecting about 30 members to come out to the party at the Parkersburg Country Club, along with members of a local ballroom dancing club.
Fisher said there are 44 members of the club that meet every Thursday night at American Legion Post 15 in Parkersburg's traffic circle on Ohio Avenue.

Kevin and Dee Twohig, of Nitro, W.Va., teach a shag dance class Saturday to members of the Mid-Ohio Valley Shaggers Club.
Chuck Duymich, left, and Debbie Kinsolving, right, work on a shag dance step at the Parkersburg Country Club ahead of the Mid-Ohio Valley Shaggers Club 11th annual "Pinin' for the Summer" dance on Saturday.
"It's a big association," he said of the shag dance club. "There are also big clubs in Charleston, Beckley, Bluefield - they are all over the place."
Tim Miller, of Parkersburg and founder of the local club, said it started 10 year ago.
"We did this because it is a popular dance in the Carolinas and we spend a lot of time down there," he said. "We started going to the different clubs and started picking up on the dance."
Miller said after returning home they missed the dancing.
"There was no dancing here, so we decided to form a dance club," he said.
Miller said the popularity of the shag has not diminished over the years.
Shag dancing is derived from other dances like the swing, the jitterbug and the Lindy hop, although it is slower and more toned down than those more energetic dances.
The dance also has its own style of music associated with it, usually called beach music, shag music and other styles that are popular in the Carolinas. Many popular songs also make good shag-dancing music, as long as they have a certain type of beat.
"It's still very popular," Miller said. "It is the official state dance of North Carolina and South Carolina."
Jan Hutchins, of Parkersburg, said the recent Society of Stranders (SOS) at North Myrtle Beach, S.C., said thousands of people from across the country and from outside the United States were there. She said the SOS has two to three dances a year.
Miller said the shag is an attraction at most clubs along Ocean Drive in North Myrtle Beach.
Keith and Christine Burkett, of Parkersburg, said they got interested in shagging for the fun of it.
"It's fun for one thing," he said. "It's a great hobby and it's a great all around dance and the music is great too."
"We get to go to the beach," she said. "It's the only way I can get him to the beach."
Leading up to Saturday night's dance at the country club, the event also included an afternoon dance clinic with lessons on some of the shag dance steps taught by Kevin and Dee Twohig, of Nitro, W.Va.
"We teach in a lot of places," he said. "I got started with a guy I worked with for starters. There was also Sherry Moore from Charleston and her boyfriend at the time who live in North Carolina, they started teaching a class and we started taking lessons in 1997."
Shortly after that he said they stated teaching but in recent years they have scaled back their teaching.
"We go to a lot of the dances," she said. "We go to the beach for the SOS events. It's like a 10-day spring break for adults."
At the events she said it is possible to meet people from all over the East Coast, some from as far west as San Diego and from out of the country.
"Shagging has turned into a world-wide phenomenon," he said.

After a weekend of heavy eating and drinking, most dieters probably don't like what they see on the scale come Monday. But a new study from Cornell University shows that weekend bloat can actually be part of a normal cycle of weight loss and gain over the course of a week, and can even play a role in more long-term weight loss.
In other words, it's nothing to worry about.
The new findings show that "weight loss occurs during the weekdays," Brian Wansink, Ph.D., the study's lead researcher and author of Slim By Design, tells HuffPost. "It's less important what happens during the
