Watch any of the films that bear the name Eli Roth (Cabin Fever, Hostel, Inglorious Basterds and the recent Piranha), and you may question whether Mrs. Roth should have held little Eli a tad more as a baby.
In person however, the director/writer/producer/actor is a relaxed, incredibly amiable chap with an encyclopedic knowledge of movies, a kind word to say about his interviewer's SPACED T-shirt and a worthy reason to avoid this here publication: "It's hard to read NME y'know, too many exes of my girlfriend." (He means Peaches Geldof, for those of you who don't read Heat).
Here he discusses his current role producing new horror smash, The Last Exorcism.
NME: So tell us about the film
"It's a pseudo-documentary that follows this reverend who's been cheating people for money his whole life by doing these fake exorcisms. He wants to make this documentary and have a crew follow him and his profession so he can expose all the tricks he does. He comes across a very religious father and a daughter that may be possessed. It just gets stranger and stranger from there."
NME: Did you know the Vatican recently opened an exorcism school?
"Yeah, which means one of two things. Either evil is actually on the rise or unnecessary exorcisms are on the rise. So it's bad news either way."
NME: What's your personal belief?
"I grew up the son of a psychiatrist so I always approach everything from a psychiatry point of view. Then I saw The Exorcist. It traumatised me. I thought 'What the fuck is this? How come you haven't told me about this?' My parents said, 'we're Jewish, we don't believe in that.' I thought, 'well I fucking believe in it! It's gonna possess me!'
NME: There's a line in the movie where the Reverend Cotton Marcus says: "To believe in God, you have to believe in the Devil", then he later talks of how he doesn't believe in demons...
"That's right. That's what gets him into trouble. The whole film is about his faith being tested. Because he just thinks they're crazy, because he doesn't believe in God, how could he believe in the devil? They're all tested to see if they believe throughout the movie, and they fail at every turn because they think they're smarter than everyone else."
NME: Patrick Fabien brings a sense of humour to Cotton. Comedic moments seem almost essential in horror films.
"Especially if it's a character piece. We've got to like this guy. We knew the whole movie would rest on Cotton and [director] Daniel Stamm auditioned hundreds of people before Patrick came in. We really put him through the ringer, made him do a sermon. He was just brilliant. He makes the movie. He nails it."
NME: What have you got on the horizon? You're working with RZA from the Wu Tang Clan...
"Yeah, we have this thing called Man With The Iron Fist we wrote together that we'll probably start shooting early winter. It's really exciting. It's a spaghetti Western. It's a full Kung Fu movie. RZA really loves his Kung Fu, the way I love horror. He wants to switch up the choreographers as he makes the movie so that we don't get what we call 'Fight Fatigue'."
NME: If you had to choose between directing, writing, acting or producing for the rest of your life, what would you go for?
"I would direct forever. Directing is the best, it's the only job. But the truth is, I'm really not passionate about directing unless it's something I've written. And writing is the most difficult part of the process for me. It's like pulling teeth for me. Acting is my least favourite but I loved doing it for Quentin."
NME: It's nice to see someone who obviously loves his movies.
"You have to love it or else what's the point? The thing with this is we took no money up front, that's how we kept the budget under $2,000,000. I didn't take a salary, I just did it and then opening weekend we did over $20,000,000 which is more than the last Tom Cruise film did opening weekend. It's just ridiculous."
NME: Why does horror thrive on a low budget?
"A scare is a scare is a scare. The scare is the star. Paranormal Activity and Blair Witch proved that. Once you start spending more money you get into focus groups and testing and what was fun about The Last Exorcism was we knew the ending would divide people. I like a movie that gives you questions and you want to watch again and rethink from a totally different point of view. Then you see the little clues you missed, you piece it together like a puzzle."
NME: If you can't talk about a film at the end, then you've failed.
"Exactly! What's the point if it just answers everything and there's nothing left to say? Like The Thing, I will debate forever whether or not MacReady is a thing. A low budget film allows you to do that, it allows you to make a movie that makes no apologies, it takes a position and says, "Here's the movie, take it or leave it."
NME: Finally, people may not know but you were in Jurassic Park 2: The Lost World...
"Yeah you can YouTube it."
NME: Did you get to meet Spielberg?
"No David Koepp was there shooting second unit. I was totally bummed. Still haven't met him. One day!"
And, eyes down, here's the proof...

CRY may have a good pipeline as you say. However, I don't see any revenue coming from it. For example, I don't see any revenue coming from BioFoam. BioFoam could be the equivalent of spraying Berma Shave in the chest cavity for all I know. Show me the sales, don't tell me they are going to magically appear. Therefore, I think you are buying a "pig in a poke", if you are just betting on unproven stories.

The restaurants listed below are all committed to buying local. Visit them during the month of March and support ag education by ordering the "Localicious Dish." For every "Localicious Dish" ordered, $1 will go toward ag education in our public schools.
A big mahalo to our sponsors for helping make Localicious Hawai'i possible
The Hawai'i Agricultural Foundation is a non-profit charitable organization created to promote agriculture and farming. Established in 2007, HAF's mission is to support and sustain Hawai'i's agricultural industry by addressing critical needs and services of farmers and the agricultural industry in Hawai'i, and by better connecting the farmers with the community and vice-versa.
Look for the "Localicious Dish" logo on participating restaurant menus and help support raise funds for ag education. For each "Localicious Dish" ordered during the month of March, $1 will be donated back to agricultural education. Each restaurant raising $500, will be able to adopt a school wanting a Veggie U kit.
Veggie U is dedicated to increasing children's awareness of healthy food options and how real food reaches their plate. We believe children who are exposed to growing their own food are more likely to include vegetables in their diet. Our national non-profit organization supplies Classroom Gardens and a standards-based, five week science program to elementary and special needs classes.
Last year, Hawaiʻi Agricultural Foundation donated 63 Veggie U kits to Hawaiʻi public school classrooms statewide through the generous support of local restaurants participating in Localicious Hawaiʻi. In 2015, our goal is to distribute 100 kits for public school ag education.

Before you address a roomful of employees, identify the main point you want to make, then figure out a memorable way to convey it. Consider how Jack Welch, GE's former CEO, injected some drama speaking to his top managers.
If your organization is suffering a post-recession exodus of its most valuable employees, here's an old-school idea to stop the drain: Add job perks that your competitors don't offer.
More employers are turning to high-deductible health insurance plans. But don't automatically assume that they'll cut your organization's costs.
In honor of Administrative Professionals Week (April 22-26), we're sharing readers' thoughts on the three traits they felt were essential to being an excellent admin.
When you're trying to persuade employees, you may figure if you cite enough evidence, you'll break down others' resistance and they'll agree with you. But reason alone may not suffice. Use techniques that induce compliance.

Updating your recruitment strategy so it's proactive rather than reactive can put you ahead of the competition and allow you to scoop up the best people.
When managers interview job candidates, it's nearly impossible to get a good reading of a person's moral compass. Here are some effective "situational" or "behavioral" questions and scenarios managers can pose.
Many executives equate strategic planning with staging a "SWOT analysis"—an examination of their organization's strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. But recent research adds another element to the mix: an organization's culture.
If you sense your presentations are failing to rouse others to action, it's probably time for a tuneup, says career and business advisor Beverly Flaxington. Here are six steps to a more powerful presentation.

TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY For two weeks in July, the Brayton Fire Field at the Texas A&M Engineering Extension Service turns into a small global village. Firefighters from all over the United States and the world gather to learn skills they need to protect lives, property and their communities.
It's an impressive display of classroom knowledge mixed with hands-on "burns" on the enormous fire field. The large complex is a playground for instructors to subject students to the harsh realities of fighting fire.
Once a year, during Industrial Fire School, TEEX invites the media to participate in a burn. This year, I was asked to represent KBTX. I was more than happy to visit the place I spent summers as a kid.
My father used to teach classes during Municipal Fire School when I was young.
This was my second time to be invited for media day and I was going to take full advantage.

No. The .sql import would have stopped at that error.
No. The .sql import would have stopped at that error.
Hi Esmi (and good morning!),
I finally have all the files uploaded into phpMyAdmin however there is one part of the 15 that produced the error. What should I do? I can open that file in BBEdit. It's about 5000 lines.
Again this was the error it gave me:
Should I try to upload it again or edit the file or?
I'd suggest making a copy of the file and editing out the problem line. You may find that you have to make quite few edits before the file will upload fully.
Hi Esmi,
I am VERY pleased to tell you the site is working again! There were only 2 lines that tripped up myPHPadmin during upload of the backup databse. After deleted them and pointing my wp-config file to the new database I was able to log into the backend. However all the posts were missing. On a whim I then pointed the wp-config file back to the old database just to check if the posts were still there. Strangely it allowed me to log-into the back end so essentially I am now back at WordPress 3.4.2 just as I was before I tried to upgrade.
When I was pointing wp-config to the new uploaded database why were the posts missing? Do I need to point something there?
Then again maybe it doesn't matter and I should now just fix my old install. Find the 2 missing lines again and delete them from the old database?
Either way I assume my next step is to turn on debugging mode and fix anything there, turn off all plug-ins, temporarily switch to the twentytwelve theme and then try again to upgrade to 3.5. This part will take me more than a few days... want to carefully fix everything but also post some stories for a bit.
Thanks a million I mean it!!! I've learned quite a lot too.
I am VERY pleased to tell you the site is working again!
Do I need to point something there?
No. The lack of posts suggests that the import didn't go as smoothly as you thought.
However, now that you're back using the old database, I'd suggest creating an export file as well as backing up the database before you try upgrading again. Given the issues you do have with the new db import, I'd be a little concerned that there are some lingering problems with the old db. The export should extract just the site's content (don't bother with attachments) that you can re-use as a last resort in case anything does go wring again.
How large is the database? Roughly how many Posts & Pages do you have on the site?
Ok I created an export file and will definitely backup the database again before the next upgrade attempt. Maybe I will try a different method of backup (not use the plug-in).
There are 1692 published posts and 4 pages. The backup generated by the "WordPress Database Backup" plug-in is 911.9 MB. The uploads folder is 336.4 MB.
Again... super thanks!! Back to posting and my life for a bit! I will probably wait a few days or a week to try the upgrade again.
The backup generated by the "WordPress Database Backup" plug-in is 911.9 MB
That's a big database! You might want to have a word with your hosts before you try another upgrade. See if they can temporarily raise your PHP memory and max-execution_time limits to avoid any upgrade failures.
You might also want to look at removing all old post revisions from the database to try and slim it down a little. There are a couple of plugins available for cleaning up your database.
Oh I never knew that was considered large. I will definitely remove old post revisions and try some other thing to clean it up. I'm glad we have this thread for me to refer to. I think it may end up helping some other people too.
What were the lines you removed, Oliver?
Hello Oliver! I have the same problem,What were the lines you removed?
Why are you using an old copy of WordPress? Were you aware that your site is currently running a very real risk of being hacked. You need to upgrade WordPress asap.
Thanks Esmi, i have the same problem but in my updgrade into the version 3.5.2, i cant access to the WP dashboard, and the message of update the database is similar how the Oliver Case...
How do you know it's the same problem if you're using a different version of WordPress?

THOMAS J. HILLGARDNER, ESQ. VIOLATES DR 2-103 under Porter vs. NYC Housing Authority Index No. 017424/11 (Queens) by soliciting the client/Plaintiff in Court. Plaintiff then claims Hillgardner abandoned her and mistreated her and her son while she and her son were living in a family shelter.
A complaint has been filed with Tenant Protection Services against Mr. Hillgardner by a former client for his solicitation of the client in Court, abandonment and for mistreatment. The Disciplinary Committee is being informed and an attorney is being hired to determine whether there is a claim for legal malpractice. Mr. Hillgardner knew that his former client and her sone were living in a family shelter and her lawsuit was to get her and her son back into an apartment she lived in for the last 29 years and for damages.
The Disciplinary rules read as follows:
DR 2-103 [1200.08] Solicitation and Recommendation of Professional Employment.A. A lawyer shall not engage in solicitation: 1.by in-person or telephone contact, or by real-time or interactive computer-accessed communication unless the recipient is a close friend, relative, former client or existing clientNY DR 7-101(A)(1) further states that a lawyer shall not intentionally . . . fail to seek the lawful objectives of [his or her] client through reasonably available means permitted by law and the Disciplinary Rules. NY DR 7-101(A)(3) prohibits a lawyer from intentionally . . . prejudic[ing] or damag[ing] [his or her] client during the course of the relationship.

April 15, 2013Reference:
Mr. Hillgardner
Mr. Mehmet, As per our conversation on 4/10/13 when I emailed you about seeking another lawyer, I am stating my case briefly to you so can help me.On June 14, 2010 I was in Civil Court for a Travis Hearing to be reinstated back to my home of 29years, when I was called in for the hearing was first when I came across Mr. Hillgardner. Before I went into the hearing Mr. Hillgardner approached me and asked me could he sit in on my hearing and that he was an Attorney. At the time I was
very distressed, confused and did not think twice about Mr. Hillgardner sitting in on my hearing since he presented himself to me as an Attorney. After the hearing I had to return after lunch for the decision. After I won the decision he asked me could he represent me as his client. I had agreed to him being my Attorney because I did not know any better at the time.
Since June 14, 2010 he became my Attorney and I thought that he was going to represent me in a professional manner. During the first year I had many problems with getting in contact with him, and when I did he seemed to be very disrespectful most of the time. He talked very nasty to me and my son on numerous of occasion. I lived at the time
from one family relative to another until March 2011. Due to the seriousness of me being homeless I was unable to deal with anyone especially my Attorney that made me feel worse than I did. By May of 2011 he pushed me to the limit and I decided not to call him for awhile. I stopped calling October 2011 up until December 2012 a little over a year later. I have not heard anything from him for nothing. The last time I heard from him was when I was waiting to hear from an Appeal from Supreme Applet Courts.
When I called him December 2012 he stated, Ms. Porter I was just thinking of you, I just got the decision for your Civil Court Case and you won the decision. He also stated, That something was wrong with his phone back in July of 20112 and he could not contact me. I did not understand because I still have the same number and I never received a call from him nor did I get a missed called neither. OK, I felt that all was water under the bridge something good is about to happen with my case. Still his attitude was rude and unbearable to deal with for me and my son. So when he hung up the phone on me this time I decided to GOOGLE him to find out what kind of Attorney record he has and only then I realized that I made the biggest mistake by signing a retainer with him. I also found out on March 28, 2013 that my Supreme Court case was removed of the calendar because when I was called to appear in Court sometime in July of 2012 he (when I decided because of his disrespectful manner not to call him) never contact me until I called him in December 2012.
He stated to me that he was putting a motion into the court and I was to wait for his call the week of April 8. 2013 and he did not called me. When I called him April 10, 2013 he was very disrespectful to me and told me, you are not paying me any money. I stated, Why would you say that when I signed a retainer so you would get paid. He stated, I can not call him when ever I wanted to and expect him to talk to me, and if I do not like what he is saying then I can find another Attorney. Besides you get more from a person being sweet as honey bees, than sour like vinegar. He then hung up the phone and
I have not heard anything from him since then. I only called him because he never returned my call and it is important to speak with him ASAP to get my case back on the calendar.PLEASE HELP me I have a case in Civil Court with Judge Badio for NYCH to restore me back into a place. I am currently living in a family shelter for 2 years and need to get out.. I also have a Supreme Court case for damages that I need to be restored back to the calendar. I can be reached anytime at 347 617 1187. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Thank You,

Running Afoul of a Statute of Limitations: See In re Gajewski, 217 A.D.2d 90, 634 N.Y.S.2d 704 (1st Dept. 1995) (lawyer suspended for one year for, among other neglectful behavior, allowing the statute of limitations to expire on a case).
Ignoring Pleadings: See Gigliotti v. Morasco, 2 A.D.2d 653, 152 N.Y.S.2d 45 (4th Dept. 1956) (court opined that a lawyer who was so dilatory as to ignore a bill of particulars until a motion to preclude is made might subject himself to disciplinary proceedings.)
Duty of Diligence Continues Despite Non-Payment of Attorneys Costs: See, e.g.,In re Pines, 26 A.D.2d 424, 275 N.Y.S.2d 122 (1st Dept. 1966) (clients failure to reimburse attorney for disbursements did not excuse attorneys failure to prosecute personal injury action for over 3 years).
Delegation of Responsibility: Kleeman v. Rheingold, 81 N.Y.2d 270, 598 N.Y.S.2d 149 (1993): Under DR 6-101, an attorney cannot delegate the duty to exercise care in handling a clients legal matter.

Family Problems No Excuse For Neglect: Matter of Sexton, 231 A.D.2d 832, 647 N.Y.S.2d 587 (3d Dept 1996) (acknowledging that attorneys must attend to their clients interest punctually and with vigor despite distracting and stressful intrusions from personal and family problems or advise their clients of their option to obtain other counsel and suspending neglectful counsel for 6 months).
Illness Not an Excuse: Matter of Whitbread, 183 A.D.2d 347, 591 N.Y.S.2d 117 (4th Dept. 1992) (Under DR 6-101, an attorneys illness and divorce do not justify the attorneys neglect of legal matters and abandonment of clients. Sanction: Suspended for one year).

TRAVEL ADVISORY; Three Wildlife Trips To a Bering Peninsula
Published: May 15, 1994
In many ways, Russia's Chukotka Peninsula on the Bering Sea is a geographical reflection of Alaska, with similarities in landscape and wildlife. At least three trips to this little-visited region are scheduled in July.
Joseph Van Os Photo Safaris of Vashon, Wash., will take a group of 17 travelers from Provideniya through the Bering Strait to the Chukchi Sea aboard the Suchotsky, a 285-foot, ice-strengthened marine research vessel built in Finland. The trip, from July 5 to 18, will be led by Dennis Paulson, a biology professor at the University of Puget Sound. The price is $3,995 round trip from Provideniya, including a night's stay in Anchorage before and after the cruise. Air fare to Anchorage is extra, as is air fare between Anchorage and Provideniya.
Invitational Tours of Greenville, Miss., is also running a trip on the Suchotsky from July 23 to Aug. 6. The tour, limited to 16, will be led by Dan Guravich, who has made 48 trips to the Arctic and whose wildlife photographs have appeared in more than 20 books. The itinerary is expected to include Uelen, Russia's easternmost settlement, noted for craftsmen who carve walrus tusks; Arakamchechen Island, a wildlife sanctuary and walrus habitat, and Whale Bone Alley on Yttygran Island, a collection of whale jaw and rib bones arranged by inhabitants at least 300 years ago. The price of this trip is $3,975 from Provideniya, and excludes air fare.
The Smithsonian Associates will sail in some of the same waters, departing from Nome, Alaska, on July 30 aboard the World Discoverer of Clipper Cruise Line. The 10-night cruise, accompanied by an anthropologist and a naturalist, is expected to call at King Island, Little Diomede Island, St. Lawrence Island, Provideniya, Arakamchechen, Inchoun and Uelen. Fares range from $3,590 to $5,290, including port taxes, but excluding air fare to Nome. Membership in the Smithsonian Associates, costing $22, which includes a year's subscription to Smithsonian magazine, is required.
More information from Joseph Van Os Photo Safaris, (206) 463-5383; Invitational Tours, (601) 335-2444; Smithsonian Associates, (202) 357-4700.

NAU researchers work to solve skunk mystery
PHOENIX — Some students at Northern Arizona University are working on a project that really stinks: trapping skunks, outfitting them with radio collars and setting them free.
NAU Biology Professor Tad Theimer said they're trying to find out how many skunks are in the Flagstaff area, but they're also trying to solve a mystery.
One day, a rabid bat bit a skunk. Normally, it would have died, but something else happened.
"But what seemed to happen in this incident 10 years ago, is that the bat variant rabies didn't kill all of the skunks that it got into," he said. "It was actually able to be maintained within the skunks."
It's called a host shift, where the virus moves from one species to another one where it can actually maintain itself indefinitely through time.
Theimer said they've trapped, tagged, collared and released about 40 skunks so far.
"These radio collars not only send us a signal so that we can follow the animal, they also send out a signal so that anytime two collared animals come within a preset distance of each other — in our case about one to two meters — they will record each others identification and the day and time when they came that close together," said Theimer.
The researchers have to re-trap the skunks in order to get all of the information. The workers have had their rabies shots.
Theimer said he gets sprayed by about one out of every ten skunks. He likens the experience to being hit with pepper spray. He said that he gets so used to the smell that he doesn't even notice it, until he walks by someone else who lets him know that there's a problem.
Theimer and his team hope their research will one day lead to a better way to control rabies and keep people and their pets safe.

1. Re: Apex 4.2 No Web services module TEST buttonBas de Klerk Jan 29, 2013 2:37 PM (in response to patfmnd)Hi,
there are some requirements for using restful services.
You need to use oracle apex listenener and you apex version has to be at least 4.2.
Are you sure you're using the apex listener and not the EPG ( which does not work as far as I know ).
Check http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E37097_01/doc/install.42/e35123/otn_install.htm#BABFGHFJ
2. Re: Apex 4.2 No Web services module TEST buttonpatfmnd Jan 29, 2013 6:08 PM (in response to Bas de Klerk)Hi,
Yes, I understand the requirements for the Oracle listener and we were having problems getting the new listener installed, but I assumed if we were able to start creating the web service module that the ability to TEST should have been avaialable.
3. Re: Apex 4.2 No Web services module TEST buttonjoelkallman-Oracle Jan 29, 2013 8:45 PM (in response to patfmnd)Hi Pat,
The ability to "listen" for RESTful calls is provided exclusively by the APEX Listener. Thus, if you aren't running the APEX Listener to access APEX, then there really isn't an effective way to be able to test it. Hence, no Test button.
I hope this helps.

Short Cable Set, Fans & LED Strips! (Updated Aug 16)
Item Information
- All items are either brand new, or like new, and come in the original retail box with all documentation, hardware, etc, unless otherwise noted.
- Local pick up (Saint John, New Brunswick) is available with cash or EMT prior to pick up only.
- Shipped items can be paid for by EMT only.
- Items are normally shipped the day after the EMT is received, although if I'm heading out by the depot, same day shipping is possible.
- Shipping quotes are provided by eShipper, and sent by UPS (always the cheapest method) with tracking and full insurance.
Refunds, Waranties & Damage Claims
- All sales are final.
- There are no warranties available on any items unless specified.
- Please contact me for any damage claims as a result of shipping, since they need to be initiated by the shipper. All items are insured for more than what they would cost new at retail.
Contact, Price Adjustments & No Douches
- If you have any questions, comments, or would like to make an offer, feel free to send a PM.
- Items are always checked against the major Canadian retailers (NCIX, Direct Canada, Canada Computers, Newegg). If you can score the same item for less, let me know which site has it, and I'll adjust the price accordingly if it checks out.
- That last one should be pretty self explanatory. I'm not here to rip anybody off. I just want to be sure that we all benefit - you get a good deal, and I get some cash. Let's try to keep it on the up and up. :thumb:
Two (2) BitFenix Spectre Pro 120mm white LED fans (brand new/in box)
Two (2) BitFenix Alchemy 30cm white LED lighting strips (brand new/in box) - $35 shipped (as a combo)
Selling these as a combo is really the only way to make the shipping costs worth while. Bought new they'd run about $80 +tax, so there's still a deal to be had.
SilverStone PP05 short cable kit (for use with ONLY Strider-series PSUs) - $25 shipped
Items sold:
Fractal Design: NODE 304
SilverStone: Fortress FT03S, Raven RV03, Tundra TD03, Tundra TD02
Corsair: Obsidian 650D, Airflow, Airflow Pro, Carbide 400R, H60, H55, H110, H90, Carbide 500R, Air 240
Thermaltake: Level 10 GT
Rosewill: Blackhawk
Cooler Master: HAF 932 Advanced, QuickFire Rapid, Cosmos II, Silencio 550
NZXT: H2, Sentry Mix
AZZA: Toledo
CoolIT: Omni
Startech: PCI-e 2 port USB 3.0 card
Zalman: ZM-HE350U3 enclosure
Noctua: NH-D14, NH-C14
Sentey: Arvina 6400-GS
Almost everything that I sell is a review sample so I'm not out any money by letting them go for less than retail. I don't want to bleed people dry, I hate to haggle if at all possible so I put things up for a good price. Plus the shipping on cases can be steep depending on the dimensions and weight of the box so I try to take that into account so people still walk away with a good deal.
It gets a few extra bucks in my pocket and moves them out of my basement.
since feedback is down...
Bought another case from Optix, and couldn't be happier. Case is perfect! Thanks a million
Free bump for you
Back again with new gear!
Old bumps removed. Optix has been around the BST for years with no complaints so you can ignore the lack of feedback.
Thanks, SugarJ. I appreciate the clean up, and the nice little thumbs up. :)
Vacation bump from Digby, Nova Scotia!
All items pending shipment have gone out, so I'll update the thread when I get home.
Need to bump this up to the top now that I have some shiny new iTrader feedback again.
C'mon folks. This is to fund a mITX gaming box build! Who doesn't want to see that?!
Back to the tippy top with two new items. Still working on a shot of the system with my name in front of it, but there's some dust bunnies I'd like to clear out first. I did update that section with a link to the mini build log that I did back when I built the system, so hopefully that proves it's me.
Mmm...Innis & Gunn...
Sold my rig, so it's a bump to the top to try and move more gear so I can order fresh parts!

How to Eat Manzanita Berries
By Hank Shaw on August 14, 2015 | 12 Responses
Manzanita berries are ripening all over California right now, but few know that they are not only edible, but are well worth your time to collect. The secret? Grind the dry, apple-like berries to make a sort of manzanita sugar.

Huckleberry Muffins

It's huckleberry season here in the West. And while my favorite way to eat hucks is in a bowl with cream, I also love huckleberry muffins. My version has a bit of a tang to it from sour cream.

Fennel Cookies
By Hank Shaw on June 15, 2014 | 3 Responses
I don't eat a lot of sweet things, but I do have a soft spot for cookies. These I call "Bacchus Biscuits," and they're my take on a Greek fennel seed cookie. It's like a shortbread cookie, not too sweet, with toasted fennel seeds in it. They last a while and are great as a quick snack.

By Hank Shaw on October 7, 2013 | 24 Responses
If you want to know what I am munching as I hit the road for a very long book tour, it's these cookies. Acorn flour makes a damn good shortbread because shortbread doesn't really need gluten to be good. These are nutty and sweet, with a hint of vanilla and maple.

Black Walnut Snowball Cookies
By Hank Shaw on December 12, 2012 | 12 Responses
Snowball cookies were my favorite Christmas cookie when I was growing up. My mum made them with regular walnuts, but my rendition of this classic cookie uses wild black walnuts, plus a little orange liqueur.

Huckleberry Cake

Buttermilk huckleberry cake. Even with frozen huckleberries, it's as good as it looks. And I owe it all to Heidi Swanson, whose new vegetarian cookbook made even me take notice.

Harvesting Bull Pine Nuts
By Hank Shaw on February 19, 2011 | 30 Responses
The more I work with wild nuts, the more I appreciate the ones you buy in the store. Shelling wild pine nuts is not the most exciting thing I've ever done, but I'm glad I did it.

I have a category of posts for "events" and am using a custom field for the event date (that is different from the posting date). I need to have a section in my sidebar for "upcoming events" that will list the permalink to those events which have future dates, not events that have already passed.
In searching the Codex I found examples on how to structure a query on the post's custom fields, but since I am not a php programmer I don't know how to structure the query to check the custom field ('event_date') against the current date of any given date that someone could be looking at the blog, in order to display future (upcoming) events only.
I found this in the Codex:
$querystr = "
SELECT wposts.*
FROM $wpdb->posts wposts, $wpdb->postmeta wpostmeta
WHERE wposts.ID = wpostmeta.post_id
AND wpostmeta.meta_key = 'tag'
AND wpostmeta.meta_value = 'email'
AND wposts.post_status = 'publish'
AND wposts.post_type = 'post'
ORDER BY wposts.post_date DESC
$pageposts = $wpdb->get_results($querystr, OBJECT);
Where it shows wpostmeta.meta_key as 'tag', mine is 'event_date', and where it shows wpostmeta.meta_value as 'email', mine is a date in this format: mm/dd/yy
Can anyone tell me how to modify the code above to check the event_date against the current date in order to display links to only those posts whose event_date is equal or greater than the current date?
Many thanks for any help anyone can offer!

Read an Excerpt
South-west England—spring 1817
Making sure little Susan, who suffered from nightmares, had finally settled into a deep sleep, Joanna Merrill gave the child's silky hair a gentle pat and slipped from her charge's side.
'Thank'ee, ma'am, and I be sorry to have intruded on your evening,' the nursemaid Hannah whispered, still rocking Susan's younger sister in the schoolroom just beyond the little girl's bed. 'But I was fair at my wit's end, what with this one wailing and Miss Susan all afret. Ye've got the touch that soothes that little mite. Better get downstairs now, afor you miss your tea.'
Having escaped another interminable dinner under the lecherous eye of Lord Masters, her employer's husband, Joanna had no intention of pouring tea for the family, despite her mistress's instruction that she return to do so after calming Miss Susan.
'No, Hannah, I'm feeling weary. I believe I will just return to my room and read.'
'Very well, miss. Goodnight to you… and be careful.'
Joanna had no need of the nursemaid's cryptic warning.
Avoiding Lord Master's unwanted advances was becoming so great a challenge that, much as she enjoyed the peace of the countryside and her active young charges, Joanna knew she would soon be forced to seek another position, thereby confronting head-on the concern that had prevented her from giving notice within a week of her employers' arrival in the country—the suspicion that Lord Masters, loath to allow the current object of his wandering eye to escape, would somehow prevent his wife from giving her the necessary references.
How things had changed in the fortnight since her long-absent employers' return from London, shethought with a sigh as she tiptoed across the schoolroom. When a friend of her late husband's family had recommended her for this governess's position almost a year ago, she'd thought it the answer to her prayers, devastated as she'd been after losing first her babe and then her darling Thomas. Having neither strength nor funds to seek out Papa, still a chaplain with the East India Company, and unwilling to throw herself on her elder brother Greville's charity, or abase herself by begging assistance from Thomas's family, who had made clear their disapproval of his marrying the daughter of a untitled country gentleman, she'd been happy to trade the noise and dirt of London for the rural beauty of this remote corner of southwest Hampshire.
Instructing two small girls, at once sweet and demanding, filled her days with an endless activity that left her little time to brood. She'd found a measure of tranquillity that dulled the pain of having to surrender her dreams of building a family and a future with Thomas. A fragile peace that had been shattered within a few days of the arrival of Lady Masters, whom she'd met once the day of her interview, and Lord Masters, whom Joanna had never seen, back at his ancestral estate.
As she paused on the threshold, peering cautiously into the corridor, she recalled with a bitter smile how charming she'd thought Lord Masters at their first meeting. Appearing not at all high in the instep, he'd paused to chat with the new employee, enquiring about her family and even claiming friendship with her distant and high-born relation, the Marquess of Englemere, who employed her brother Greville to manage one of his small properties. After she informed Lord Masters how remote was her kinship to this cousin she'd never met and confessed how removed she'd always lived from London society, she expected the Viscount would soon abandon his politeness to a mere governess.
Instead, he'd continued to seek her out, paying her flattering attention as he chatted about literature, art, music and the theatre under the guise of discussing what he considered important for his daughters' education. Lulled into complacency, she'd noticed nothing untoward until the fourth evening after his arrival…when he'd cornered her alone in the library after dinner.
Still loath to step into the shadowy corridor, she lingered a moment longer, a shudder rippling through her as she recalled that infamous night. Something about his lordship's gaze, which had seemed to hover with unseemly interest on her bosom, had made her immediately uneasy. The quantity of wine he'd drunk at dinner glazing his eyes, he'd tried to persuade her to remain in the library and talk to him. She'd kept the big desk between them as he entreated her, then walked quickly away, holding the book she'd chosen before her chest like a shield.
Heart thumping like a drum beating the advance, she'd almost managed to escape before, closing the distance between them, he'd reached out and run his fingers over her bottom. The sound of his laughter when she knocked his hand away and scurried out, slamming the door behind her, had chilled her to the core.
Locked inside her room, heart still thrumming in alarm, she'd considered complaining at once to Lady Masters. But what would she do if her employer didn't believe her?
Lord Masters was a Viscount and her employer's husband. She was a soldier's widow, her father an insignificant clergyman currently out of England, the brother she'd not seen in years employed on an estate far away. Who would support her if Lord Masters denied her charges, as he was almost certain to do?
Vowing to remain ever vigilant while she considered the wisest course of action, since that evening she'd kept her chamber door locked and her eyes watchful.
As she would tonight.
Taking a deep breath, she exited the schoolroom and walked swiftly through dimly lit space towards her room. She'd almost reached that sanctuary when a figure materialised from the shadows further down the hall and strode towards her.
'Lord Masters,' she said coolly, despite the dismay that sent her pulse racing. 'I have the headache a little. Kindly let Lady Masters know I will not take tea this evening.'
'Ah, then I must eschew tea as well… and tend you. Have you a fever?'
She sidestepped his attempt to lay a hand on her forehead. 'Just a headache, my lord, which solitude and quiet will soon cure. I'm sure your wife, waiting for you below, is most impatient for your return.'
'She's had hers; she can wait,' he said carelessly, his gaze roving her figure with such blatant relish that she felt besmirched. 'Whereas you, little fox… It's been a long time, hasn't it? Years since that soldier-boy husband of yours sent you back to England? You must be eager… panting for it.'
As he spoke, Joanna had backed away from him towards her chamber until the fingertips she'd extended behind her touched the door latch. Advancing as she retreated, Lord Masters now put both hands on either side of the door frame, corralling her against the door's solid mahogany panel as he breathed alcoholic fumes into her face.
If she darted into her room, could she close the door quickly enough to prevent him from following? Lock it before he could use his greater strength to force it back open?
She might be smaller and weaker, but she'd not give the bastard the satisfaction of knowing how much he frightened her. Summoning her best governess voice, she said repres-sively, 'Lord Masters, I find your… attentions most distasteful. Pray recall that you were born a gentleman and abandon them at once.'
Instead, the Viscount chuckled. 'What a prim little pet you are! Have I ruffled your sleek russet fur? By heaven, you make me mad to soothe you… to tear off that drab dress and feel the silk of your skin under my fingers.'
Alarm extinguishing any further desire to reason with him, Joanna ducked under his outstretched arm and tried to dash away. Laughing in earnest now, he caught her easily, then pinned her against the door and assaulted her with a kiss, his tongue probing her firmly closed lips.
Furious as well as afraid, despite the limited space between them, Joanna struck at him with as much power as she could muster and bit his tongue.
With a yelp of pain, he slammed her into the door, trapping her arms behind her. Covering her mouth with one hand before she could cry out, he wrapped his other arm around her, binding her to him with a punishing grip that left her wriggling to free herself as ineffectually as a worm on a hook.
'Like it rough, do you?' he panted, his beetle-black eyes glistening with excitement. 'Well, I can accommodate! By God, I'll have you now, you little vixen.'
Clutching her against him, he kicked open her chamber door. While she continued to struggle, desperately seeking to injure or delay him, he dragged her across the room, threw her backwards on to the bed and climbed atop her, holding her in place with the bulk of his body. With one hand he started dragging up her skirts.
Barely able to breath from the weight on her chest, spurred by panic when she felt his hardness pressed against her, Joanna managed to free one arm. Striking out blindly, she pummelled Lord Master's head and bit at the hand covering her mouth.
Despite her efforts, he'd slid his fingers up to her thighs when a shrill female voice cried, 'Mrs Merrill! What are you doing?'
After a startled instant of immobility, her attacker lurched away from her. Gasping for breath after the removal of his smothering weight, Joanna scrambled to a sitting position on the bed.
Her expression tight and affronted, Lady Masters said, 'What is the meaning of this outrage?'
'Now, Lizzie, don't go off into a pelter,' Lord Masters said, his tone cajoling. 'That auburn-haired witch has been throwing herself at me ever since we arrived. There's only so much temptation a man can withstand.'
Lady Master's look turned contemptuous. 'In some cases, 'tis very little indeed.'
'Temptation!' Joanna croaked furiously, finally able to find her voice. 'I gave you no encouragement whatsoever! Indeed, I did everything in my power to discourage your unwelcome advances.'
'Discourage, hah!' Masters responded. 'Just look at her, my love. That flaming hair coming loose and her gown awry, cheeks flushed and bosom heaving—why, the hot-blooded wench even bit me!' He gestured with his bloody hand to his equally bloody lip.
Lady Masters closed her eyes and took a deep, shuddering breath. Now that the danger had passed, Joanna felt a surge of pity for Lady Masters. How awful to be tied for life to a lecher who embarrassed one by trying to debauch one's governess under one's very nose! She'd bet her tiny sum of savings this wasn't the first time, either.
Opening her eyes a moment later, Lady Masters said quietly, 'My lord, you will let me handle this, please?'
'If you wish, my love.' Giving a smile to his wife—and throwing Joanna the surly glance of a spoiled child denied the treat he'd been anticipating—Lord Masters ambled out.
'Lady Masters, I assure you—'
'Please, Mrs Merrill, do not try to explain. Under these circumstances, I can hardly continue to allow a woman of your… appetites to supervise my children. I must demand that you leave this house at once.'
The charge was so unexpected—and so blatantly untrue— that for a moment, Joanna could only stare at her employer in astonishment. Her sympathy for the woman evaporating, she said, 'But, Lady Masters, surely you can't blame—'
'Mrs Merrill, I've already said I shall not entertain any excuses. I will be charitable enough to have a groom bring round a gig to convey you to the village in half an hour, but do not test my indulgence by remaining under my roof a minute longer.'
'Now?' Joanna asked incredulously. ''Tis already full dark! And what of my salary for this quarter?'
'The lateness of the hour is your own concern. As for your salary—' Lady Masters looked her up and down '—I expect you'll soon find a way to earn whatever you need.'
And so, an incoherent blur of time later, her mind still reeling in shock and fury, Joanna found herself deposited at the public house in the village by a surly groom who dropped her without a word, whipped his horse back to a trot and disappeared into the darkness on the long journey back to the manor.
Unwilling to wake the sleeping inhabitants of the inn, unsure yet what story the woman the villagers knew to be governess at the Masters estate could or should tell them about her unexpected appearance, Joanna slipped into the barn. Only the soft wickers of several equine inhabitants greeted her as she found a thick pile of straw and sank down on to it.
Struggling to resist the fear and despair threatening to overcome her, she considered her few possessions—a hurriedly packed bandbox of underthings, shoes and gowns along with the clothes and cloak she wore—and her hoard of coins, which was pitifully small.
Without references or any current prospects of further employment, how would she survive without succumbing to the fate the monstrously unfair Lady Masters had predicted?
After a moment of blind panic, a reassuring thought calmed her. She'd go to her brother, Greville Anders.
He'd left the army after Waterloo, she'd learned in the last message she'd had from him, a bitter diatribe against the aristocratic patronage system that had denied him the promotion he felt should have been his after that great battle. Always an indifferent correspondent, he'd sent her nothing since. For all she knew, he might have a wife and a hopeful family at the snug estate he now managed for their more illustrious cousin. He'd not journeyed to London to console her after she had sent word of Thomas's death and, not wanting at that time to inconvenience him, she'd taken the employment offered by Lady Masters without further thought.
But, married or single, Greville was the only close family she possessed still in England. Surely he would take her in until she figured out what to do next.
Encouraged by that thought, she settled back into the soft hay with a sigh. Tomorrow she would expend her small savings to purchase coach fare to Blenhem Hill.
'So, Ned, what do you think I should do?'
The next afternoon, Sir Edward Austin Greaves raised his gaze from swirling the brandy the sun was illumining to burnished bronze and looked thoughtfully at his friend Nicholas Stanhope, Marquess of Englemere, who sat across from him in Englemere's library. 'What is happening at the property now?'
After sipping from his own glass, Nicky shook his head. 'I can't be certain, not without inspecting the place personally. Frankly, if it were not for the unrest in the countryside and the general distress occurring even at some of my own holdings, I'd be inclined to think Martin exaggerated. After he retired as my agent, I gave over the management of Blenhem Hill to a distant cousin who approached me about employment after Waterloo. Thought it was the least I could do for one of our brave men, and as he'd served in Wellington's commissary corps, I assumed he would be capable. Not so, according to Martin, who despite his advanced years still has a sharp mind and a keen eye.'

After the Mexican war, the Regiment moved west to secure the country's newly acquired territories for the influx of settlers. In June of 1849 troopers from Company F under the command of Major Ripley Arnold established an encampment along the banks of the Trinity River in Texas, which they named Fort Worth in honor of General William J. Worth, whom the Regiment had served with during the final years of the Seminole War. This area is now known as "the fort that became a city", Dallas/Fort Worth. The Regiment spent the pre-Civil War period fighting Indians and securing the routes that brought settlers into the new territories of the United States. In 1854, the Second Dragoons took part in a campaign against the Sioux Indians and soundly defeated a sizable Brule Sioux force near Ash Hollow, Nebraska, without incurring a single loss. This action forced the Sioux to sign a peace treaty. In late 1857, in response to reports of harassment and abuse of Federal officials from Mormon settlers in Utah, a Battalion formed from the Regiment was sent to put down Mormon resistance to U.S. authority as part of a 2,500 man expeditionary force. Expecting a confrontation, the Mormon leader and Utah governor, Brigham Young, mobilized the Utah militia, but agreed to terms just before the expeditionary force reached the state. This long and arduous winter march is immortalized in the Don Stivers print, "Never a Complaint." On 14 June 1858, Harney was promoted to Brigadier General and Philip St. George Cooke was appointed the 3rd Colonel of the Regiment. During this time Colonel Cooke published the definitive manual on Cavalry tactics, which was used by both sides in the Civil War. In July 1860, the President of the United States ordered Harney to St. Louis to take command of the Department of the West. Once there, however, the combination of the onslaught of political events and his own political naivete ruined him. Although he was a brilliant Cavalryman, Harney, as a political neophyte, could not negotiate the tangle of political affairs in Missouri. Suspected of Southern sympathies by the powerful Blair-Benton faction in Missouri, local politicians demanded his removal, and President Lincoln relieved him of his command in May 1861. On 1 August 1863, Harney was placed on the retired list. He was promoted to Brevet Major General on 13 March 1865 in recognition of his long and faithful service. President Lincoln later admitted that Harney's removal was one of the biggest mistakes of his administration. Harney went on to serve several Indian commissioners and became known as "the nation's greatest Indian expert." He died in Orlando, Florida, on 9 May 1889. In his honor, the Sioux gave him a title he would have cherished, "Man-Who-Always-Kept-His-Word." A single thread runs through all that he did and tried to do – a fierce desire to serve. His epitaph...Read More
From: ONE HUNDRED YEARS WITH THE SECOND CAVALRY By Joseph I. Lambert, Major, Second Cavalry Copyright 1939 Commanding Officer, Second Cavalry, Fort Riley, Kansas Capper Printing Company, Inc. After being in the states on recruiting duty during most of the Mexican War, Company G was finally organized at Jefferson Barracks, Mo., and left there for Vera Cruz, January 18, 1848, arriving at the latter place February 14. All the companies on duty with General Scott were ordered home in July and took station at Camp Corinne, near Pascagoula, Mississippi, except Company G, which went to Carlisle Barracks, Pennsylvania, on recruiting duty. After a long rest by the balmy shores of the Gulf of Mexico, the companies at Camp Corinne were ordered to duty in Texas in November, 1848. Regimental headquarters moved to the Austin Arsenal and the companies were stationed at various frontier posts in west Texas. Company G took station in December at Fort Brown, opposite Matamoras where the regiment won its laurels at the beginning of the war. REGIMENT ORDERED TO TEXAS HEADQUARTERS WESTERN DIVISION, BATON ROUGE, September 24, 1848 ORDERS No.7 1. In order to carry out the provisions of General Orders No. 49, so far as relates to the Western Division, the following movements of troops are ordered: 2.

From: ONE HUNDRED YEARS WITH THE SECOND CAVALRY By Joseph I. Lambert, Major, Second Cavalry Copyright 1939 Commanding Officer, Second Cavalry, Fort Riley, Kansas Capper Printing Company, Inc. Pursuant to orders received by General Wool, who had relieved General Taylor at Monterey, in northern Mexico, the companies on duty there, D, C, H, were ordered to duty in California and New Mexico. Lieutenant Colonel Washington was placed in command of the detachment, which also included three companies of the First Dragoons and a battery of artillery. Leaving Monterey July 25, 1848, they made a pleasant march to Chihuahua City, arriving there August 26. While here they were hospitably received by the people, and the courtesies were returned by giving a review for the Governor. Upon leaving Chihuahua the detachment was split into two parts. Lieutenant Colonel Washington with Company H, under Lieutenant Pleasanton, and the First Dragoons and artillery took the road to Santa Fe, New Mexico, where they arrived October 10 for station. Companies D and E under Captain Graham and Lieutenant Campbell proceeded to California on an historic march. Traveling northwest they came to the Santa Cruz River and followed it down to Tucson, Arizona. Thence they marched to the Gila River, which was reached by the end of October, and the Colorado River on November 22. From there the march was a severe one on account of the scarcity of supplies. Many of the horses died for lack of food and the men nearly starved. They finally arrived at Los Angeles, January 9, 1849, for station. The effectiveness of Companies D, E, and H was greatly diminished by the numerous desertions on account of the California gold excitement. During May, Companies D and E moved to the Presidio of Monterey, and in July they transferred to Camp Stanton, New Mexico. The following order illustrates the changes in customs at different periods. In 1874 Rodenbough says in his history of the regiment that if this General Order were published at that time, there would be hosts of resignations among the officers, as they would sacrifice comfort, friends, health, life, but never mustaches. Following is the order: WAR DEPARTMENT, ADJUTANT GENERAL'S OFFICE, WASHINGTON, D. C., July 6, 1848 GENERAL ORDERS NO. 25 II. The hair to be short, or what is generally termed "cropped". The whiskers not to extend below the lower tip of the ear, and a line thence with the curve of the mouth. Moustaches will not be worn (except by cavalry regiments) by officers or men on any pretense whatever. (Army regulations, p. 215.) The non-observance of the above regulation (tolerated during the war with Mexico) is no longer permitted. It is enjoined upon all officers to observe and enforce the regulation. By order of the Secretary of War, R. JONES, Adjutant...Read More
From: ONE HUNDRED YEARS WITH THE SECOND CAVALRY By Joseph I. Lambert, Major, Second Cavalry Copyright 1939 Commanding Officer, Second Cavalry, Fort Riley, Kansas Capper Printing Company, Inc. During 1849 the non-commissioned officers and musicians of Companies D, E, H, and K were ordered on recruiting service and the privates still remaining after the desertions to the gold country were transferred to the First Dragoons. While attached to this regiment and still under their own designation, thirty men of H Company were sent out under Brevet Major Steen, First Dragoons, on July 5, 1849, on a scout after Apache Indians who had killed several Mexicans at the Placer Mines, forty miles south of Santa Fe. On July 11 Major Steen found two of the captives who had escaped and later came upon the hostiles in the White Mountains near Dog Canyon, killing five and having three dragoons wounded. On the return march the detachment suffered much for lack of food but finally succeeded in getting relief on July 25. The duties of the companies stationed in Texas consisted of giving protection to the settlers against the Comanches, Apaches, and other wild tribes which wandered about over this vast area. These tribes had never been punished for violent acts under the Spanish or Mexican rule. They naturally expected to continue their depredations under the American rule, and would not give up their old ways without being forced to do so. To quell these Indians the companies in Texas were stationed at the following frontier posts in January 1850: Company A was at Fort Croghan, B at Fort Martin, C at Fort Inge, F at Fort Worth, G at Fort Lincoln, and I at Fort Graham. During the year 1850 Company C under Captain Hardee, and G, under Captain Oakes, were especially active in campaigning against the Indians. While returning from an escort to Fort Duncan, a party of four Dragoons was attacked by over fifty Indians near Fort Inge early on the morning of March 3, 1850. An ambulance had been brought back with the detachment to convey a Mexican woman, the wife of a discharged soldier. The Indians were concealed near a water hole, some mounted and some dismounted. When the group stopped, the savages fired upon them, killing one man. As the mules became unmanageable the woman jumped from the ambulance and ran. The whole group finally met another escort on its way from Fort Inge. Captain Hardee immediately took up the trail as soon as the incident was reported and followed it to the Rio Grande. Here he made a raft to assist in crossing, as the water was high, but never succeeded in doing so. Later he reported the incident of the attack to the Mexican authorities at Presidio, who continued the...Read More
From: ONE HUNDRED YEARS WITH THE SECOND CAVALRY By Joseph I. Lambert, Major, Second Cavalry Copyright 1939 Commanding Officer, Second Cavalry, Fort Riley, Kansas Capper Printing Company, Inc. Pursuant to orders from the Department headquarters at San Antonio, Captain Hardee organized an expedition against the Indians in July, 1850. He directed Captain Oakes with G Company to move down the left bank of the Frio River, Captain Wallace with his company of Texas volunteers to move down the right bank of the Nueces, and with Company C, he scoured the country between the two rivers. Company G came upon a camp of a small party of Indians July 11 and killed two and captured twenty-one horses and all of the equipment. This manner of combing the country was kept up all summer by Captain Hardee. As soon as one expedition was finished another started, usually in small groups of about one company, with all moving at the same time over a given area. This method of sweeping the ground met with success as various detachments of the force met the hostiles several times. On August 12, Captain Oakes was severely wounded in a fight with a party of Indians, but he killed three and captured a number of horses. Lieutenant Tyler of C Company, while guarding Fort Inge in the absence of the troops, heard of a fresh trail of Indians nearby. Following them to the Nueces he came upon a party of thirty strong, well posted. He charged at the head of ten men, killed two, wounded several, and captured much property.
