text:
When Hitler addressed the role of women in his speeches, he emphasized the "common struggle" of both sexes for the "Volksgemeinschaft" of the "Third Reich". What was to become of extreme significance during the war was, however, already a motto in peacetime: as early as 1937, the "Führer" called the state Frauenschaft a "complement to the male fighting organization".
How women identified with the "Volksgemeinschaft"; what the precise nature of the challenge to participate, together (or in competition) with men to build and shape the National socialist state was; what opportunities racism offered women and how they made use of them—these are issues that the "Beiträge zur Geschichte des Nationalsozialismus" aims to probe. Since the two gender-specific life worlds were closely interwoven in the Nazi state, attention will also be paid to male actors. On a temporal level, the focus will go beyond the limits set by the end of World War II. By including the post-war period, the retrospective self-perceptions of women (which can be gleaned from ego documents as well as from files from criminal and court investigations) can become part of the analysis. This may enable us to find answers to a further question: What are the implications for how the Nazi past is dealt with in the judicial sphere as well as in society of women's common self-understanding as "non-political" individuals—a self-understanding that was not called into question, in the post-war period, whether in public debates or in academic discussions.
The significant role of women in the terror system of the Nazi state—as nurses in euthanasia institutions, as guards / wardens in concentration camps, as physicians and welfare workers in the service of the state—has by no means been investigated in all details, but at least this role has now been recognized. The focus of the planned issue will therefore be on less-studied contexts; the following topics will be the center of attention:
1. Female elites?
Since women were denied political positions in the "Third Reich", National Socialist women's groups that emerged in the "period of struggle" disbanded soon after the Nazis took power. Nonetheless, it would seem that female elites existed during the "Third Reich". Some of the groups whose role might be explored include the functionaries of the National Socialist organizations for women and girls, with some six million members; the activists of other mass formations such as the "Nationalsozialistische Volkswohlfahrt" (NSV) and the "Deutsche Arbeitsfront" (DAF); women who were active outside of the Nazi Party apparatus and achieved social recognition and professional success as students, artists, journalists, or aviators and who found a role in the Nazi state. Rather than concentrating on the so-called image of women in the "Third Reich", contributions to this section should consider the expectations, hopes, and visions of its "Führerinnen". What political, social, and cultural traditions and experience from the Weimar period continued to influence the Nazi era? And what options for actions did the National Socialist state offer to women?
2. Motherhood and other ways of creating meaning
There can be no doubt that the cult of motherhood was the centerpiece of the opportunities for identifying with the Nazi regime that the "Third Reich" held out to its "Volksgenossinnen". Women were to meet biological expectations and, as caretakers of the "racial purity" of the German people, guarantee the propagation of the "Aryan race". Did the regime offer women other ways of creating meaning? What, for example, appeared especially attractive to female youths (in contrast to and presumably in competition with young males)? What opportunities did National Socialism offer for girls and young women? Presumably, a considerable number had reservations about the state's attempts to integrate them; in this context, the offerings made by other institutions, for example, the Christian churches, may have played a role. Whether this was the case and to what extent and how women dealt with the contradictions that they perceived are issues that call for further investigation.
3. Deployment on the front and on the "home front"
In the summer of 1944, some 50 000 so-called Maiden of the "Reichsarbeitsdienst" were operating the floodlights of the flax batteries. In early 1945, about 500 000 "Wehrmachthelferinnen" were serving in the Wehrmacht auxiliary. Women wore uniforms and lived in barracks like their male counterparts and were even equipped with small arms and antitank grenade launchers at the end of the war. During the final months of the war, Hitler—who had declared ten years before that he would be ashamed if he ever sent women to fight—began planning the establishment of a women's battalion. Many women—exactly how many is unknown—were taken prisoner by the Allies. Women were not only victims of the war, as suggested by debates about the bombing of German cities, but also contributed to stabilizing and defending the German Reich, through their activities on the home front and in the theaters of war: as workers in war-relevant industries, as nurses in the NSV and elsewhere, in the realm of civil air defense, and as members of propaganda units. Women were furthermore expected to maintain the civilian population's resolve and help keep up the spirits of those on the home front. Shouldering these tasks may have been facilitated by the fact that they profited directly from the state's policies of exploiting the countries attacked and occupied as recipients of packages with food and luxury items that soldiers sent to their families in the "Altreich". The multifaceted and as yet inadequately investigated role of "Volksgenossinnen" in "total war" should form a further major element of the projected issue.
4. The politics of terror and extermination
The "master-race" conduct of the German conquerors in "the East" had a feminine as well as a masculine side. Not only for men, but also for German women, the "Germanization" of Eastern Europe opened up unique opportunities for social mobility. As wives, mothers and brides who moved to the East with their husbands and children, but also as (for the most part unmarried) teachers, secretaries, and employees in private industry, they enjoyed privileges and high social status; they profited from the financial revenue that resulted from "Aryanization" of Jewish property, either as direct recipients or as employees in the Nazi bureaucracy; as so-called settlement assistants and public welfare aids who helped organize the forced deportation of the native population and the re-settlement of German settlers and those of German ancestry, they secured new independence with these new tasks. How did women fulfill their obligations in the process of forming a German societal elite in "the East"? What were their contributions to creating and stabilizing the violent structures of occupation? How did they integrate violence into their daily routines? When and how did they themselves commit violence? Did they follow the examples of the male conquerors in doing so? And to what extent did they differ from the men?
5. Women in the (judicial) post-war history of National Socialism
There were only very few women among the functionaries of the "Third Reich" who were tried before the Allies' military tribunals and later before the German courts. There are numerous signs of the tendency—in German courts as well as Allied ones—to reach judgments that were influenced by clichés about gender roles. It is striking, for example, that once women were put on trial, they were often stylized as symbolic figures of terror, in a manner that cannot generally be observed for their male counterparts. Did special moral standards come into play for women? And if so, what is the significance of this observation for legal perceptions as well as media perceptions or, more generally, public perceptions of the crimes committed—in much greater numbers— by men? A further question is whether a larger group of male perpetrators were exculpated as a result of the way in which responsibility was resolutely assigned to a few women (in the media and in public).

Brief History
The Council was inaugurated in 1993 with its secretariat inside the Lagos State Polytechnic (LASPOTECH), Isolo Campus.The first annual conference was held in 1993 where Shamisideen Muhammad emerged as the first Amir (President) of the council.
The council which initially started with one central branch now has five. Likewise the control of secondary schools which was restricted to public secondary schools now includes some private secondary schools within her territory. The likes of Al-Faruq Comprehensive College , Ejigbo, Latmos Comprehensive College Egbe, and others are forthcoming.
The effort to provide Islamic and Arabic education is of high importance as the council operates three Arabic centres (Ejigbo, Ilasamaja and Isolo) for members to learn more about Islam in general and Arabic language in particular.
Twice in our history, we have been considered first rate in the Lagos state Area Unit Terminal Ratings of Area Councils. The council contributes a lot to the academic progress of her members. She started her Extra Mural class ( LAMRAS ACADEMY ) from a mosque and later secured a temporary site at Akinbaye Street , Isolo.
The Extra Moral class was re named EXCEL TUTORS in August 2003 and took of at Turning point Nursery and primary School, 21, Ilori Street , Ire-Akari Estate, Isolo. At a time it moved to Raothar Nursery and primary school, 22 Metropolitan Road Isolo until a site was obtained on lease at 25 Baales street, Ishagatedo, Isolo where EXCEL TUTORShas been since then.

From "the cabs are here," and "tee shirt time," to Ronnie and Sammi's dysfunctional relationship and the DTF parameters, it was a surprisingly peaceful evening.
Sure, they bickered about whether Ronnie and Sammi put their roommates in the middle of their fights, and there was that weird "did JWOWW hook up with Ronnie?" moment, but all in all, it was an uneventful evening.
Then came Snooki.
The Poofed One claimed she "has" (not had) a small crush on Vinny. Assuming our girl knows her grammar, this is news!
Then, Vinny revealed that he thinks Snooki is a "beautiful girl inside and out."
So, before signing off on season two, we have to wonder: Will these two end up being an item?

and one of the 2 games they were up at the half they were up by 1 pt
against the Warriors.Also played Cleveland first half ml but only keep track of straight plays here for record purposes win or lose will not count it gl.
18-9 YTDI am going to San Diego tomorrow and will be at the Chargers game. Won't be around. Have a good Halloween and gl!SD -3.5 they screwed me last week one last try. Saints -1 Saints lose to Cleveland and then beat Pitt welcome to the NFL where anything can happen any given Sunday.
lines will move all over the place. it is easy to know which way the line will move and you will give your chance to middle.For example I have Auburn -2 i believe the line will go up to -4 and then I will take Miss St +4 and have a good chance that Auburn wins by 3.I bet Iowa -13 line will go up to at least 15 then I will take Iowa St and hope Iowa wins by 14!

This is a 1948 Willys Jeep, CJ2A, 4WD. It has a full aluminum cab. It has front wheel locking hubs. I believe it to be all original, or repaired with parts designed for it. This Jeep is the original Utility Vehicle. It is a quarter ton truck, 4WD; a working machine that is ready to use. You can start driving this Jeep and using it the moment you get it.
This Jeep runs very well. It starts every time, even on bitter cold January mornings after sitting outside all night. Our routine is to start the Jeep about once every two weeks. It starts readily every time.
The engine was recently rebuilt. Since we seldom drive this Jeep, it has virtually no miles on the rebuild. This Jeep engine is the original Jeep engine. The gas tank has been sealed, the brakes completely reworked.
We are in Southwest Indiana. We prefer that you come by and take good look at it, and see how you like it.

My Husband and I loved this recipe !! They were sweet and smoky from the bacon and brown sugar. I served them with bite size cheese filled soft pretzels. Thank you for the recipe.
These are ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! The first time I made them in a foil lined jelly-roll pan sprayed with Pam, because I needed a large batch, but they were difficult to flip after the broiling part. The second time I increased the temperature to 375 and baked them in a pyrex (sprayed with Pam) for 45 minutes and didn't bother flipping them at all. We liked them just as well that way. thanks Peach Pie for a true keeper!

The Report of the Encephalitis Committee in Holland.—In 1927, when encephalitis postvaccinalis occurred in alarming frequency in Holland, the law which decreed compulsory vaccination was temporarily not enforced, and a committee was appointed to study the cause of this complication and the ways to combat it. This committee has now published a report on its activities, which contains the whole story concerning encephalitis postvaccinalis. Several hypotheses have been investigated, but no solution for the problem has been found. The report is interesting in many respects, especially since different possibilities have been extensively examined and several facts revealed. There appears to exist no relation between the neurotropism for the vaccine used and the occurrence of complications in the brain. Encephalitis postvaccinalis occurred with all kinds of lymph; however, it occurred more frequently with one kind than with another, and it could not be discovered whether this was also

Swinging on the office grapevine: the Tarzan approach to organizational health
Susan M. Hann, P.E., AICP, ICMA-CM
Deputy City Manager
City of Palm Bay, Florida
Member, APWA Leadership and Management Committee
If you've read some of my previous articles for the Reporter, you may have noticed a few themes including topics seemingly unrelated to public works such as the Wizard of Oz and physical fitness. However, one of the other prominent themes is that of communication—something that is vital to the health of any organization and of any relationship.
So, what is your perspective on the office or community grapevine? Is it a hotbed of malicious gossip that is hurting your agency or is it a tool that can be used to foster positive relationships and organizational health? The culture of communication can enhance organizational strength or it can be the virus that leads to organizational failure. An organization with strong communication is typically more unified and mission-focused. An organization with poor communication is typically dysfunctional. What role can the grapevine play in your organization?
How you use the grapevine is up to you. Communication happens whether you participate or not. There are numerous grapevines in your community and in your organization that all facilitate extensive communication. You can choose to contribute to the grapevines—perhaps even building links among them—or you can try to cut the grapevines. Trying to stifle communication is not an easy task. The more you try to stop communication, the more it happens in other directions. Endeavors meant to restrict communication often have the opposite effect of encouraging more talk about why talk is being restricted! Overtly limiting traditional communication channels can also lead to the creation of underground communication networks—those that are neither visible nor accessible, but exist to the detriment of the organization.
A better approach to healthy communication is to embrace the grapevine and ride it through the jungle as if you were Tarzan. Recognize that employees and citizens are going to talk about you and your organization—so give them something good to talk about! Be proactive with your communication and develop a reputation for honest, direct, clear and timely communication.
To get you started thinking about the grapevine and how you can use it to improve your management style and your organization, I've posed a few questions for you to consider in the form of an informal audit for both personal and organizational communication.
Personal Communication Audit:
Did you talk to at least five of your employees and/or coworkers this week? Connecting to the employee grapevine is a great way to learn what's going on in your agency. Knowing about smoldering fires before they become towering infernos will allow you to be a more effective, proactive manager.
Did you participate in a public forum or community event this week and talk to citizens? Meeting citizens at community events—such as a homeowners' association meeting or a local festival—is a great way to get connected to the community grapevines. Finding and solving community issues before they become problems for your elected officials is a very effective way to do business. If you are part of the community grapevine, you can find and resolve issues proactively.
Have you met anyone new this week? Expanding your communication network will build new relationships in the community. You never know where these relationships might lead, so take advantage of any opportunity and be proactive about meeting new people. Attend a Chamber of Commerce lunch or reach out to employees you haven't met yet.
Did you return all of your phone calls within 24 hours? This is one example where the grapevine will talk about you and your performance. Do you want to be known as responsive or unreachable? How you handle phone calls says a lot about you—make sure the right message is getting out there.
Did you gossip this week? Everybody loves to gossip. Isn't that what most of the popular TV shows are all about? So, why not do it at work? There are some people that just invite conversation about them. Besides, nobody would repeat what you said, right? Time and time again, I have seen malicious gossip spread by seemingly nice and well-meaning people resulting in very painful experiences. Set the example you want for your troops. However you behave will be communicated throughout the organization.
Organizational Communication Audit:
Do your employees know your organization's mission and goals? If not, get started getting the word out today. If people don't know where they are supposed to be going, the organization can't be very effective.
Do your employees know your corporate values? Are the values the same at the bottom and the top of the organizational ladder? If there is litter on the way in to city hall, how many of your employees would pick it up? Perhaps you're in an organization that has disjointed values. If that's the case, at least set some values for your team. Talk to your crew, agree upon the values for your team and set a good example for the rest of your organization.
Do your employees work in silos? Communication among silos is difficult. If your organization is highly compartmentalized, try to develop opportunities for organizational cross-talk. Try an interdepartmental bowling league or a company breakfast. Find a project that needs the cooperation of more than one silo. Build the grapevines among the silos!
Do your managers "hoard" information? This style is embraced by the "knowledge is power" crowd, who believe that information should be parceled out on a need-to-know basis. While this may be an excellent approach for the CIA, this method can be very destructive in a public works organization. If your crew doesn't know why they are doing a job they are less likely to make good decisions in the field. If your mid-managers are unaware of policy decisions they may be less able to keep their folks on the right path. Use the grapevines to discourage hoarding behavior by getting information out to the network.
Do your employees refer to their leadership as "management" as if they are a separate species? Ideally, a manager should be seen as a team member who is facilitating getting the job done, not an obstruction that needs to be overcome and worked around. If management is viewed as an aggravating impediment, this is not a healthy organization. Management needs to connect with the employees. Using the organizational grapevines is a good way to reach the network of employees.
Does the media treat your organization fairly? If your organization is repeatedly targeted by the media for negative press, you should review your communications strategies. Usually, a proactive approach with the media leads to improved relationships with more balanced reporting. If you decide to "no comment" your way out of every situation, the media will go to others for comments, so your story never gets told. A story gets told, but it likely won't be your story. If you are more proactive about keeping the media informed of good news and bad news, they will start to get (and report) a more balanced picture of your organization.
Now that you have evaluated the communication in your network, here are a few easy examples of how you can use the grapevine effectively and proactively:
Issue press releases frequently. Most likely something good happens in your organization at least once per week—maybe even more often. Did you fix a dangerous pothole, did you respond to a citizen in need, did you help the fire department fight a brush fire? Whatever it is—let somebody know!
Be visible in the community. Being present in the community creates opportunities for informal problem awareness and resolution. Visibility also allows people to get to know you and ultimately to trust you.
Communicate with employees frequently. This includes walking around and talking as well as semi-formal communication such as weekly e-news or even daily e-news. All of your employees don't have e-mail? Post the news on the bulletin boards or hand it out with the paychecks.
Eat. Mealtime chats are a great way to get to know what's going on in your community and in your organization. Host a monthly lunch meeting with some or all of your employees. Invite the local homeowners' association reps to breakfast. You can even do a bring-your-own brown bag session to discuss a specific topic or no topic at all.
The concept behind all of these strategies is to create a culture of communication. Nature abhors a vacuum. If there is an absence of communication from you, someone else will fill it! Be proactive and diligent about establishing and maintaining open lines of communication in every direction. The grapevines are growing strong in your organization and your community. Make the choice to grab the grapevines and be a part of as many communication networks as possible. Although you may work in a jungle, the grapevine can be a very effective tool for keeping harmony in a diverse environment.

Scrappy, KSU student-athletes challenge children to read
Submitted by Rgodlews on Thu, 12/09/2010 - 4:30pm
Scrappy the Owl is taking more than 4,000 Cobb County elementary school students under his wing. KSU's mascot is on a mission to entice young students to read – with a little help from his more athletic friends.
In early November, a group of KSU student-athletes and coaches began a novel reading program, the Jr. Owls Reading Challenge, sponsored by a Target Foundation grant. The idea was to inject a little bit of humor and friendly competition into reading.
Five schools were selected for the pilot program: Baker Elementary, Bells Ferry Elementary, Big Shanty Elementary, Chalker Elementary and Hayes Intermediate School.
"Instead of merely reading from a book, Scrappy helps us act out the passages with a little improv," explained Montye Edwards, a marketing associate in the Athletics Department. "The kids really love it!"
"We'll often read a book during assembly with an entire grade," Edwards said. "The kids totally enjoyed it when we did 'Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed.' I read the book and the student-athletes played the parts. Then, the kids got to vote for who was the best 'monkey' in the story."
The schools score points for the books read, with the winners recognized during the KSU vs. Stetson women's basketball game on Feb. 12. Each school will earn at least $100 for its media center, while the grand prize winner will receive $500 from Target and a pizza party with Scrappy and the student-athletes given by Zucca Pizzeria.
"We wanted to do this for some time, but needed help to kick it off," said Brian LeHeup, assistant director of marketing/promotions in the Athletics Department. "Montye approached Target through Georgina Sloane-Kemp, the team leader at the Kennesaw Target store. She helped us get our grant proposal approved for funding."
Minneapolis-based Target donates 5 percent of its income to community projects and is on track to give $1 billion to support education by 2015.
George Olney, assistant athletics director for external affairs, said KSU has long enjoyed a close working partnership with Target. "This is just another example of how much Target cares about educating young people."
KSU student-athletes and Scrappy have taken youngsters at Hayes Intermediate under their wing. Student-athletes pictured clockwise from left: Camille Pedraza, volleyball; Jessica Lumpkin, track; Christine Wylie, basketball; Scrappy; Mirza Medinic, basketball; Ayano Tanaka, tennis; and Kyle Pearson, track.

I've been in IT for most my working life but have had enough now and am looking for a career change. Don't want a job where i'm stuck in an office all day and the idea of being a self employed courier seems appealing as it'll keep me out and about and I love driving.
Wanted to check if there's any members that do this for a living and make a decent wage out of it?
Been having a look on the internet and on the Parcelforce website they have an advert for an owner driver which says that average 'on target' earnings are in the region of ?35k-?40k per year. This job would be based too far away for me but was wondering if the money their stating is realistic?
There's Fastway Couriers as well which have franchises available in my area for ?13.5k +vat. Seems a lot though and was wondering if anyone knows if this would even be suitable for a one man job?
I've also looked at www.courierexchange.co.uk .... and like the idea of doing deliveries to Europe as i'm assuming there will be more money in this.
So basically just wondering if anyone on here is doing this for a living and could give any tips or advice on the above or recommend any other companies? Is there still good money to be made from doing this?
Any advice welcome.

Some kids did chess at school, but Asher Roth rapped. Now he's fending off Lindsay Lohan, and playing the V Festival
It seems a matter of course that Asher Roth is late. Hip-hop's hottest new star has just been nominated for two MTV Awards, pitted against the iconic rappers Jay-Z and Eminem. His debut album, Asleep in the Bread Aisle, features Cee-Lo, Busta Rhymes and Keri Hilson; and, crucial to his superstar kudos, Roth recently fought off the attentions of Lindsay Lohan, who tried to clamber onstage with him. Asher Roth has arrived.

Anyone use this? Do you like it?
I had it inserted last October, and haven't had any issues with it.
I'm not fond of having my period every month again since I had been using the Depo shot, but I like not having the migraines that I started getting after my DS was born.
No, but I found this:
I got one a few months ago. I was really unsure about it as well. I'd heard so many horror stories.
Personally, the cramping I had after it was inserted is probably the only cramping I've had. I don't have an abnormally heavy flow or anything like that. It's about normal with a few ligher days at the beginning and a couple heavy-ish ones in the middle. Nothing bad at all though. I do hate that I went from having a 5 day period to about 8...that's the only real bad thing I have to say about it.

Top Families
Tracy Nelson and her twin brothers, Gunnar and Matthew, love to recall their favorite episode from The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet, the pioneering TV family sitcom created by the Nelson grandparents 30 years ago. In one scene, Ozzie and Harriet are watching a movie, sharing popcorn. When a dramatic turn in the film startles Harriet, she unwittingly switches the popcorn with the ice cream she's been holding. Ozzie, thinking he's reaching for the popcorn, scoops up the ice cream instead and stuffs it into his mouth. "He's trying to be sooo cool and his face has that pained look people get when they have a cold-headache," Tracy says, laughing. Then the laugh turns to a wistful smile. "You know, Pop used to love that scene too."
Since the death 10 months ago of their father—former child TV actor, teen idol and pop rock star Ricky Nelson—the legacy of "America's favorite comedy" has seemed like an American tragedy. For the millions who grew up watching Ozzie and Harriet from its debut in 1952 to its final episode in 1966, the TV Nelsons represented the ideal, loving family. But like so many others in the two decades since the show went off the air, the real Nelsons have suffered nuclear family fission. In 1982 Ricky and his wife of 19 years, Kris Harmon Nelson, were divorced. Four years later, the death of Ricky and six others in a fiery crash aboard his chartered aircraft prompted allegations of drug use, which later proved unfounded. In too many ways, the Nelsons seemed to exemplify the problems of the contemporary American family.
Now Tracy and her brothers are out to prove that the new generation need not be hostages to the past. "He made us proud," says Gunnar. "Now it's time to make him proud." Since scoring a hit in Down and Out in Beverly Hills, Tracy, 23, has landed two TV pilots (Hearts of Steel and The Costigans) and three TV movies. Her 19-year-old brothers, following appearances at the American Music Awards and on Saturday Night Live with their band, the Nelsons, have revamped their personnel for a fresh assault on the music charts. And as they press forward on their own, the young Nelsons are rediscovering the values that have always sustained their family. "It's all about integrity and personal honesty," says Tracy. "We are a real show business family, and it all comes back to a sense of professionalism that goes back several generations."
In Ozzie and Harriet, explains Tracy, the Nelson parents, along with sons David and Ricky, "were basically playing my grandfather's childhood in New Jersey [during the early '30s]." Ozzie's parents, a banker and a housewife, starred in amateur theatricals. Harriet's parents were actors in stock theater, and her grandfather was general manager of the Hagenbeck-Wallace Circus, which eventually was owned by Ringling Bros. But both were raised in conventional fashion, and Harriet says the values portrayed in Ozzie and Harriet were precisely those of the Nelson family. Ozzie "was very much a family man," she says. "It was honestly a little like the family grocery store. You worked as a family. It was marvelous to have our kids around us and I think it was good for them to have their parents around."
In the eight months prior to Ricky's death, the twins moved in with their father on his Hollywood estate. "He was really happy about what we were doing," says Tracy. When Ricky was on the road, he would call everyone on the tour into his hotel room to watch Tracy on TV. Yet he never tried to tell his children what to do professionally. Matthew recalls that when he played one of the twins' new songs for his father, "Dad would just say, 'Keep doing what you're doing.' I'd say, 'Do you have any suggestions?' He said, 'Just believe in what you're doin' and keep doin' it.' He thought that as long as you satisfy your own integrity, that's all that matters." While encouraging their independence, he was also glad when they came home. "At one point," says Tracy, "after Gunnar and Matthew moved in, he said, 'I feel like I have a home. I feel I have a family again.' "
That feeling had been missing since the end of his marriage to Kris Harmon, which had linked the Nelsons with another celebrated family. Kris's sister is the top model Kelly Harmon and the former wife of John De Lorean. Actor Mark Harmon is her brother. "Both the Harmons and the Nelsons are artistic people, smart people," says Tracy. "To me the Harmon side is more like a kind of California family. The Nelsons have a more East Coast feeling." Tracy's grandmother Elyse Knox Harmon, who married Heisman Trophy-winning football player Tom Harmon, feels that the Harmons passed on some of their competitive spirit to the Nelsons. "Tom and I believe in raising our kids, and our grandchildren, with the idea that they should do whatever they do to the best of their ability," she says. Even after the divorce, Tracy and her grandmother have remained close. Both fondly recall how Elyse, a professional artist, taught Tracy to paint when she was a toddler. At age 11, Tracy spent three days painting mermaids on a' wall of the Harmons' Laguna Beach house as a birthday present for her Uncle Mark.
Today, Tracy's mother, Kris, is a successful painter whose canvases sell for up to $10,000. Kris and Ricky's fourth and youngest child, Sam, 11, currently lives with his mother. After going to Space Camp in Alabama last summer, Sam asked his sister, "Tracy, do you think Pop would mind if I wasn't a singer, if I was an astronaut instead?" Tracy says she answered, "No, I think Pop would really like that."
The memory of their father still stays with them. Matthew recalls first hearing of Ricky's death over the radio. "They played one of his songs and then the deejay announced that it was a tribute to Ricky Nelson who had gone down in a plane and was killed earlier today," he says. "Just remembering the horror of that minute has sent me into 10 months of truly thinking what life's all about." Adds Gunnar: "It's brought us incredibly close together. That was the last gift Pop ever gave us—realizing how much love there really is in our family."
The Houstons: Keeping close to home
"I don't think Nippy was hot on being a star," says her dad. "But," adds her mom, "once she got started there was no stopping her." Indeed, the Nippy they're talking about is now America's top female vocalist, whose debut LP has sold more than 11 million copies worldwide in less than a year. At 23, Nippy still answers to her nickname at home. The world, however, knows her as Whitney Houston.
She was never pressured by her parents into singing professionally. But there were powerful precedents in the family. Her mother, Cissy, now 52, was recruited at age 6 into the family gospel ensemble, the Drinkard Singers, in Newark, N.J. In time Cissy Houston founded the Sweet Inspirations, the pop-gospel quartet that did backup vocals for Aretha Franklin and Wilson Pickett. During school vacations Whitney often tagged along on road tours. For added inspiration, she recalls propping herself up on telephone books at the Copacabana to watch the performances of the sultry-voiced Dionne Warwick, who is her cousin.
"Everybody in my family sings—it's just part of our lives," says Whitney. "I got pretty vigorous gospel training from my mother at church, because that was a big part of our lives too. By the time I was 12 or 13, I just knew I wanted to sing." At 15 she joined the musicians' union and was doing studio and club dates with her mother.
Music and faith (Baptist) don't quite tell it all. The Houstons are also strong on family solidarity and parental discipline. When Whitney and her two older brothers were kids, they could expect the whoppin' of their lives if they were to step out of line. "I am an old-fashioned kind of parent," says Cissy without apology. "Some people think that loving children means letting them have their way. But that's not it. You show your love by making them do what you think is best for them."
The Houston household was not, however, a tyranny of the parents. "We called family meetings as often as necessary," explains Whitney's dad, John, 66, a former executive secretary of Newark's planning board. "Anybody could call a meeting—even Nippy when she was just knee-high to a duck. If they wanted something from us, and it was something we could deal with, we went along. If not, it was time for a little over-the-table negotiations."
"I expect my children to be the best because they're mine," says Cissy. "We taught them never to keep what they're feeling about each other inside. They'll yell and scream and then fall into each other's arms crying." Even with Whitney's singular success, there appears to be little in the way of sibling rivalry. Her 28-year-old half-brother, Gary Garland (by Cissy's earlier marriage), an ex-Denver Nugget basketballer, now sings with Whitney's group. Brother Michael, 25, is her traveling companion. "The boys want her to be successful, but they're not awestruck," says their father. "She's still just their sister. We taught them that they eventually would have to look out for each other. We insisted on it. We banged it into their heads."
The Buckleys: Adding luster to the right
Author Gore Vidal once called them "the sick Kennedys," but these days the Buckley family seems in the pink of health. Camelot is long gone from the White House, and after two decades in opposition, America's foremost conservative clan has seen the body politic swing its way. The formula of Catholicism, conservatism, brains and hard work has proved both durable and successful. "The family ethos seems to stay alive," says Bill, 60. "This doesn't mean it's absolutely shatterproof, but so far it's worked."
Indeed it has. Bill, who made his mark just out of college with his 1951 diatribe, God and Man at Yale: The Superstitions of Academic Freedom, is founding editor of the conservative weekly The National Review, creator and moderator of public TV's Firing Line, and a nationally syndicated columnist. He and his only son, Christopher, 34, a former speech writer for Vice-President George Bush, last spring made a joint appearance on the New York Times best-seller list with their respective novels, Bill's High Jinx and Chris's The White House Mess. Bill's younger brother Reid Buckley, 56, is a novelist living in South Carolina. Brother Jim, 63, a former U.S. senator, was appointed last year to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. Sister Priscilla, 64, is senior editor of The National Review, for which Jane, 62, also works. Patricia, 58, is a free-lance editor, and Carol, 47, is a substance-abuse counselor. Two sisters and the eldest brother, John, have died. John's son, John Jr., 29, is a press secretary to presidential aspirant Rep. Jack Kemp.
The seeds of this ramified success were planted by William F. Buckley Sr., who bequeathed his 10 children a love of learning, conservative politics, a solid Catholic faith and a family fortune in the millions. The grandson of emigrants from Ireland to Canada and the son of a sheep farmer and sheriff in Texas, Buckley Sr. was a lawyer who went into the oil business in Mexico and Venezuela, then made and lost several fortunes in oil drilling. "He was always extremely concerned with education, loyalty, closeness of the family," says Bill. "He was terribly exacting as regards behavior and the mind. When he felt his children merited special commendation, he would address a memo on the subject to all the family members." Although the Buckley children grew up in financial comfort, says Bill, "it simply did not let us off the obligation to work." Adds Jim, "We are American Roman Catholic with a Protestant work ethic."
Family members agree it was Bill who put the Buckley name on the map. "Bill was a hell of a role model," says nephew John. For a time Chris rebelled against his father's example, reading only comic books and, later, experimenting with drugs. The breach was healed when father and son took two trips to Mexico, where they read Catholic author G.K. Chesterton to each other. "It kept me religious at a time when most people decide to go the other way," says Chris. The two remain close. "We read drafts of each other's books and mark them up," he says.
As Chris Buckley has found, there is no escaping the consequences of fame. Recently a New York cabbie asked him, "Are you related to the Buckleys?" Recalls Chris, "I went into my reflexive celebrity flinch, whereupon he immediately said, 'Oh! You must know the Kennedys!' " Sick comparisons, it seems, linger on.
The Sutters: From the north the icemen cometh
No matter what the calendar claims, winters have a way of starting in November and lingering on into May in Viking, Alberta (pop: 1,238). Still, on a 1,000-acre farm nine miles east of town, Louis and Grace Sutter managed to raise a lot of hay, some dairy cows—and seven awfully sturdy boys. The bumper crop of Sutter sons began with Gary, born 31 years ago, and Brian, 21 months his junior. Darryl came along a couple of years after that, then Duane 19 months later, followed at similar intervals by Brent and twins Richard and Ronald.
The spare, rural environment of Western Canada is stamped deeply on all the Sutters. Each brother took up farm chores as soon as he was old enough. "That always came first, before any playtime, we all knew that," Duane recalls. Says Louis, "Our kids grew up with a lot of work and responsibility. What to do with idle time wasn't a choice for them." They all endured the ordeal of the schoolhouse as an unfortunate diversion from their favorite activity: hockey. They first put on skates at age 3 or 4 and, with each brother a spur for the next, graduated from frozen ponds to Tiny Mite league into Canada's highly rated junior hockey program. Today six of the seven Sutter brothers are simultaneously on the rosters of National Hockey League teams, a family phenomenon unique in big-time sports.
Their fraternal bonds remain intense. Growing up in a four-bedroom house, "You always slept with a brother," Brian says, "and I don't recall ever feeling like I wanted my own space. We wanted Xo be with each other. Probably our best friends to this day are our brothers." Adds Gary, the eldest and the only brother not to become a pro hockey player, "We learned pretty young to respect each other."
On the ice, however, the Sutters are all hard-checking puck chasers (the brothers all play on attacking lines). "We always fought as kids," Brian admits. "Everybody wanted to win. There were fierce fights, but they were never anything personal." In 1976 Brian became the first of the brothers to make it to the NHL (he is now captain of the St. Louis Blues), followed in orderly—and seemingly inevitable—sequence by Darryl (Chicago Black Hawks) and Duane and Brent (New York Islanders). Ronnie and his twin were teammates with the Philadelphia Flyers until Richie was traded this off-season to the Vancouver Canucks.
"When we play each other, we always want the brothers to do well," Brian says. "But you want to beat the teams your brothers are on more than anybody. I suppose it's so we don't have to listen to one of them saying, 'I won' or 'We beat you.' " Brent agrees: "If you have to run over a brother on a goal, you do it. That's part of the game, and we all understand that." Grace Sutter has a stock prayer for such brotherly combat: "Hope for a tie with nobody hurt."
All the brothers except Ron, who is engaged, married local sweethearts, and all live during off-seasons within a 250-mile radius of Viking. Says Brent, "We meet a lot of arrogant, selfish people who have had the easy route, and they don't know the value of what they have. We grew up where every day you worked for what you got. I know times have changed, but that's the way I'd like to bring up my kids."
Ferriday's gift to gospel and rock
They are cousins by birth, but their kinship seems closer to brotherhood. As kids, they lived nearby, they fought regularly—and they were inseparable. "There was constant rivalry, but we loved each other very much," says Jimmy Swaggart, 51, the oldest of the three.
Hometown for the cousins was Ferriday, La. "We used to compare towns by how many red traffic lights they had," jokes the youngest cousin, country singer Mickey Gilley, 50. "Ferriday had one." But one was not enough to stop Swaggart, Gilley or their renegade cousin, rocker Jerry Lee Lewis. The three don't get together much anymore, but they recently converged on Swaggart's headquarters outside Baton Rouge for their first reunion in five years. Gilley, now a thriving performer and owner of the most famous honky-tonk in Texas, and Lewis, the 51-year-old star of primal rock, flew in by private jet, and Swaggart proudly showed his guests around.
There is much to see at the Jimmy Swaggart Ministries. The 250-acre complex includes an ultramodern 7,000-seat church, a 400-student Bible college and dorms, a television broadcast studio, a day school and more, all built with donations to Swaggart's TV ministry, which now pulls in an estimated $150 million a year. Here in the realm of the righteous, cousin Jerry Lee seems like a shot glass at a communion service as he flashes a diamond ring shaped like a piano. "I guess this will go straight to the IRS," he grimaces. "I told you to go into the ministry," shoots back Swaggart, grinning. Gilley, meanwhile, pulls out a few trophies of his own, including a huge pendant with his initials in diamonds.
Family rivalries thus renewed, the cousins pass into Swaggart's two-story recording studio, where Lewis starts warming up the Steinway. Swaggart, who has sold 15 million gospel albums of his own, makes no pretense about liking cousin Gilley's country music ("a lot of slop") or the rock 'n' roll Jerry Lee helped invent back in the 1950s. But when Lewis begins pounding out the old gospel tune I'll Fly Away, the threesome join in the song they sang together back in Ferriday.
It was there that Swaggart's father, a grocer, preached in the Assembly of God church. "I knew at the age of 8 that I would travel the world as an evangelist," recalls Swaggart, who also credits his grandmother for much of his religious bent. "She studied the Bible incessantly. She influenced Mickey too, because she was his aunt."
At 9, both Swaggart and Lewis began studying piano. Swaggart would turn the skill into a tool of his gospel trade. Lewis would aim for less spiritual venues. "Jerry was playing in honky-tonks when he was 14," says Swaggart. "If I had even thought about doing that, my father would have taken me to the woodshed. Jerry Lee's parents did not discipline him at all. Perhaps that's why we're so different today."
Lewis did give Bible college a try—when he was 18 and into his second marriage. Given the boot after he was caught playing My God Is Real with a boogie-woogie beat, he went back to the clubs and recording. Then in 1957 his hit singles, A Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On and Great Balls of Fire, shot him into the vanguard of the rock revolution. Suddenly prosperous, he gave a hand—or rather a new Oldsmobile—to Swaggart, then touring the Bible Belt revival circuit with his wife, Frances. "I drove it over 100,000 miles," says Swaggart, "and I appreciated it more than I can ever say."
Cousin Mickey, meanwhile, had married, fathered a child and moved to Houston. "When Jerry Lee hit with A Whole Lotta Shakin', I thought, 'Well, I can do it too,' " he says. Now, almost three decades later, the former tavern owner's son travels seven months a year performing. Clothing stores sell Gilley's Western wear, and his giant Texas nightclub, which inspired the movie Urban Cowboy, is a landmark.
Lewis, shunned when his 1958 marriage to a 13-year-old cousin was disclosed, watched his career tailspin. His bouts with drugs and drink led to a family call for help. Swaggart, summoned by Lewis' wife at the time, went to an Ohio auditorium and found his cousin onstage in a near stupor. Recalls Swaggart: "I walked up to him, took the microphone away, and said, 'I'm Jimmy Swaggart, and Jerry Lee is my cousin. I love him, and I think you know that I love him, and I've come to take him home.' "
Lewis can still be a handful. At the local restaurant, he starts to balance one glass of iced tea—the strongest drink served in Swaggart's presence—on top of another. "Jimmy, can you do this? Mickey, can y'all do it?" he shouts. Swaggart can, and now the race is on to put a third glass atop the pile. "I've done this a billion times," Lewis brags, his hand shaking. "It can be done." Then, suddenly, amid the crash, "Oh, noooo...."
The Bridgeses: Talent across the generations
Whenever the junior Bridgeses waxed ornery as children, their mother, Dorothy, would chide them: "What's the matter? Did you drink the bathwater?" Ever since, the family slogan has been "Don't drink the bathwater." Salt water, on the other hand, seemed to be the family's natural element: Sons Beau and Jeff first learned the acting trade when Lloyd put them on his long-running TV series, Sea Hunt, at age 8, "so they could get their feet wet in more ways than one."
Tossing them into the deep seems to have worked. Beau, 43, has chalked up a long string of film and television credits. He directed and co-starred in the Disney Sunday TV Movie Thanksgiving Promise, to be aired in November with appearances by his mom, dad, son Jordan, 12, sister Cindy, 33, and brother. Jeff, 36, will be seen in The Morning After, due out at Christmas, with Jane Fonda. The brothers have also taken their dad's cue in their personal lives. "My work had to be first," says Lloyd, "but my hobby was my kids. I notice they have the same feeling. That kind of love spills over."
Beau and his second wife, Wendy Peerce, have a boy and a girl, and Beau has two older sons, Jordan and Casey, from a previous marriage. Jeff and Susan Geston, married nine years, have three young daughters, Isabelle, Jessica and Hayley. Cindy and husband Eric Jany have a son, Marcel. Family gatherings can be crowded at the two-story stone house in Westwood, L.A., where Lloyd and Dorothy have lived for 30 years.
"We've been through some hard times," says Jeff, who admits to experimenting with marijuana and LSD as a rebellious adolescent. But the family is blessedly free of religious and racial prejudice. Beau's eldest adopted son, Casey, is black. "I've told them to keep their hearts and minds open to all spiritual sources," says Dorothy. "It all begins with the family, if you want a country we can be proud of," adds Lloyd. "Our most important job, whatever our profession, is to raise kids to be strong human beings."

|Here are some details about my project:
|Traditional, Classic
What are you most proud of? That I made something that I will actually wear, and doesn't look too homemade. It fits well, although I did add 3" to the sleeve length. And I added 2" in the back so I could put in some pleats, partly for fit, partly to relieve some of the vast acreage of pink. Not bad for my second shirt.
What advice would you give someone starting this project? The 1/4 inch seam allowances leave little room for error, I learned the hard way. Pam suggests making them all 5/8" and that would be great at the collar and stand and cuffs. I also made French seams at the shoulders, sleeves and sides. I'd rather have clothes pins on my soft parts than try flat felling inside a sleeve again. I have no skill with either the felling foot (a.k.a. Little Feller) nor the hemmer foot. I also fused the inner yoke as it was cut on the bias, and my prior experience with the yoke trick stretched the inner yoke to the point of bagginess when the shirt was pulled right side out.
Great shirt! Love the fabric combination.
This is stunning!
Awesome! Looks very professional Michel, you have a natural talent for choosing a contrasting edge. Very inspiring.
You have the gift, my friend! :-)

Very quietly knitters from Shandon Prebyterian's congregation have been getting together, and working individually to knit prayer shawls for members of the church who are in difficulty or pain, particularly those facing medical procedures. The shawls are presented by Shandon Prebyterian's ministers as they visit those in need in their homes, in hospitals and in interim facilities. It is hoped that the shawl is for them a symbol of God's healing presence, and a reminder that they are in our prayers. Shandon Prebyterian's prayer shawl group is one of hundreds across the country who have taken up needles and yarn to make shawls. The program was born in 1998 when two students at the Hartford Seminary in Hartford, Connecticut decided that care, concern and knitting could be combined in a shawl that could be given to people in need. According to Janet Bristow, one of the instigators, the shawls "wrap, enfold, comfort, cover, give solace, mother, hug, shelter and beautify."
Prayer shawl knitters are meeting each month on the second Tuesday at 11:00 a.m. in the church parlor. All knitters and crocheters who might be interested are cordially invited to attend. Contact: Betty Bullman.

Radiator at 1A Auto
What is an automotive radiator and where is it located?
Your radiator is one of the most important parts of your vehicle's cooling system. The engine in your car or truck works extremely hard and as it burns the air / fuel mixture, it generates a tremendous amount of heat. Since the engine operates at its best when it is at the ideal temperature, it needs to be cooled down so that it does not overheat. Your vehicle's radiator plays an integral role in doing just that. Located behind the grille, the radiator's only function is to take hot coolant from the engine and cool it down before sending it back to the engine.
So, how does the radiator in your automobile do this? Basically, coolant from the water pump enters into the engine. As the coolant goes around the engine's cylinders, it picks up the heat from the friction and burning of fuel, thus transferring it from the engine to the coolant. The warm coolant is then forced out and travels through the upper radiator hose and into the automobile's radiator via the water outlet. From there it goes into small chambers that are all throughout the radiator, where it is then cooled down by the air that is passed freely through the radiator's core by the radiator fan. Air passes through the radiator when the vehicle is moving as well, but the use of cooling fans aids this process when the engine is being worked harder and/or when the car or truck isn't moving. The cooled coolant then goes back to the water pump via the lower radiator hose and the process repeats itself.
While older auto radiators were typically made of heavy copper and brass, today's modern cars and trucks typically use lighter ones made of plastic and aluminum. For an even more in-depth explanation of radiators, including the different materials that they are made of, the number of cores and what they mean, check out our auto radiators guide.
How do I know my radiator needs to be replaced?
If your coolant is not changed on a regular basis, it can actually clog your auto radiator's cooling tubes. Corrosion of the cooling tubes and tanks can occur if it's left untreated for too long. If there is too much pressure in the cooling system, it could result in a crack in an end tank or a cooling tube. For models with plastic tanks, excessive heat can cause the plastic to melt and deform. Your vehicle's radiator can also suffer physical damage from rocks or other debris puncturing it. If your car or truck's radiator is suffering from one of these problems, you may need a replacement.
Can I replace the radiator myself?
The radiator can be replaced by a do-it-yourselfer, but it will be a long and challenging repair. If your coolant system is overheating or leaking, the radiator might need to be replaced, but we recommend checking all of the hoses and their connections as well as the reservoir just to be sure. The items you'll need may include a complete metric socket set, screwdriver, drain pan, funnel, and a pair of pliers. The process can vary depending on the vehicle. You might have to remove the splash guard as the first step, or you might find yourself working closer to the top of the vehicle. You'll want to disconnect the negative battery cable first. The process will likely require the removal of the radiator fan shroud, draining the coolant, and removing the coolant lines from the radiator. If you find any debris on the bottom, be sure to vacuum/clean it out. Once you've reinstalled the radiator, we recommend refilling your cooling system with new coolant.

Back in the chapter on branches, we talked about how you could have one local branch that stays rather closely in sync with the progress of another branch, and this process is called tracking. And as an example, I showed you how to text_edits could track master. The idea here is that we want to keep the two pretty closely in sync. So we're regularly going to pull updates from master and merge them into text edits. That way it never gets too far out of touch and even though it happens less frequently, whenever we are done with our work in text_edits, and we are ready to merge it back in, master is probably the branch that we want to merge it back into.
Now tracking is really common with remote branches, and it works in a similar way, plus with a little bit of configuration, we get to save ourselves some typing by letting the master branch know what remote branch should it be using when it's doing its fetch, and when it's doing it's push. We won't have to specify it each and every time. It will have a default setting by knowing its tracking branch. Now when we did our first Git push, we did it with the -u option, and I told you at that time, that that was about creating the tracking branch, and then we'd talk about it later. Well, that time is now.
If we don't do git push with the -u option, it does not track any remote branch. All it does is push our code up there, and that's it. It doesn't keep any kind of reference that this is the branch there we're going to be working with in the future. The -u option says push it up there, and also make a note of the fact because we're going to be coming back and working with this branch frequently. When we did a git clone to create our lynda_ version, it does track the remote branch, and we can see that tracking here, git/config. You can see that our branch master is set up to track the refs/heads/master that's on origin.
That's what it's going to track. That's how you know that it's a tracking branch. By contrast, let's switch back over. We'll go backwards a directory and then let's go into our explore_california folder, we can see the same thing is true here. If we do cat .git/config, but let's create one that doesn't track. Let's create one that doesn't have the -u option to see the difference. Let's create a branch off of master that we can then use. Let's do git branch, and let's call this branch non _tracking, that will make it clear what's up.
And then now, we know how to push that to origin, and we're going to push non_tracking. Wait one minute, it wants my credentials, okay, pushes it up there, and now let's take a look again at that git/config, and you will see that it does not have a listing here, right, push it up there but it said, all right! Here you go remote repository, I am done with you. There is not sort of connection in the future between our non_tracking branch and what's going on at GitHub.
The -u option or cloning it, created that tracking branch. Now I'm going to leave this non_tracking branch but I just want to let you know that if you ever end up with a branch that's not tracking, and you want to make it tracking, then you have three choices. Either you can come in and add these, so they are similar, or you can use the git config commands. It's git config branch and then whatever the branch name is. In this case, it would be non_tracking remote and then the name of the remote, origin, and then you would do the same thing for the option for merge refs/heads/master.
So that would give you those same configurations in the dot config file, or if you're using Git 1.7, which most of you should be unless you got an old version of Git for some reason, you could use git branch --set-upstream, which is also what the u option is, that -u that was used, when we did a push. That's the shortcut for set-upstream, and then we can say non_tracking origin, non-tracking, and that will tell it what its up-stream server is.
It will tell it what the remote is that it ought to track. So again, I'm going to do any of those. I am just going to leave it so that our non_tracking branch stays non_tracking, so that if we ever want to see the difference, we can switch over there and try it out.
