Shakira Washington knows a thing or two about debating. By the time she joined Longview's debate team, she already had two years of debate and forensics under her belt at Bishop Miege High School.
Washington, who wishes to live in England one day, had the opportunity to debate with world debate finalist Tom Hamilton and Oxford graduate Tom Hay, both from England. She carried on intriguing conversations with each of them. "They're so smart," said Shakira.
An aspiring lawyer, Washington attended the University of Kansas last year. She transferred to Longview so she would be closer to home. Washington plans to major in political science. In addition to debate, she takes courses in European history and biology.
She encourages new debaters to join the team. Washington's advice to new debaters, "You have to be open-minded about everything."
"Shakira is the best debater on the team," said Brandi Cole.
Washington enjoys babysitting, playing the piano, watching movies with friends and listening to musicals.
She lives by the motto, "Don't dream it, be it."

Essendon star David Zaharakis firms as a Round 1 starter against Adelaide
- From: Herald Sun
- March 16, 2013
ESSENDON star David Zaharakis emerged unscathed from his pre-season debut last night to enhance his chances of taking on Adelaide in next week's season-opener.
The goalkicking midfielder was ruled out of the Bombers' NAB Cup campaign with a quad injury, but he returned through the VFL yesterday and played three quarters, impressing with his touch.
SuperCoach previews
Zaharakis kicked a goal and is now a red-hot chance to be selected for the Round 1 clash against the Crows on Friday night.
Forward Scott Gumbleton stole the show, booting five goals as Essendon's VFL side crushed former affiliate Bendigo Gold in the trial match at Melbourne Airport.
But Dons father-son sensation Joe Daniher was a late withdrawal, ruled out with a corkie.
The Bombers are yet to roll out their No. 10 draft pick but Daniher has impressed with his first AFL pre-season.
Originally published as Zaharakis firms for Round 1

British-Style Cheese and Onion Sandwich for 2
Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 0 mins
About a week ago I found a really good quality imported "extra mature farmhouse cheddar" cheese from the UK and decided to test it in this recipe which was recently featured on thekitchn.com. Use the best ingredients you can if at all possible: homemade bread and mayonnaise, etc. Q: I don't intend to step on any toes (especially British ones) but don't you think bacon/rashers would be delicious in this sandwich? A. yes. The bacon is optional of course. The husband discovered my secret stash of the farmhouse cheddar cheese and now most of it is gone! :/ Serving suggestion that we enjoyed with our sandwiches: C G's Baked Barbecue Beans, hard boiled eggs and fresh fruit. I believe this is my first English recipe posted here but the fine English people have no cause for concern.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 4 ounces cheese (such as Cheddar, Double Gloucester, Cotswold, or Red Leicester, for example)
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped sweet white onions
- 2 tablespoons finely sliced scallions (I used a combination of scallions and chives)
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- salt and pepper
- 4 slices bread (toasted or untoasted)
- 2 -3 slices bacon, crisply cooked
- butter (leftover Irish butter from St. Patrick's Day...)
- Grate the cheese. Combine in a bowl with the onions and mayonnaise. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Spread the mixture between slices of buttered bread.
- If adding the optional bacon, arrange the slices on the bread.
- The filling also makes an excellent topping for baked potatoes (with the bacon crumbled).
Most Helpful
A very nice sandwich. We reduced the onion to 1 tablespoon --thought that was too much frankly. Evidently the Brits like raw onions a lot more than us. LOL! Omitted the salt. Thanks for a nice lunch, Cookgirl. Made for Unrulies Under the Influence during ZWT6 tour of Great Britain.
A few simple ingredients that add to to a sandwich being more than the sum of it's parts. I skipped the bacon simply because it's something that I use with extreme rarity and I did enjoy this very much without it. I used half the mayo ask for. I had to make do with old cheddar from here in Canada. But it worked fine for me. One sannie will sure fill you up too!
Tasty, easy to prepare sandwich! I used Cheddar and did include the bacon :) It was very enjoyable. Thanks for sharing! ZWT6

Guns are a vital hedge against authoritarianism
It's very common to hear the defense of the right to one's own arms as a hedge against authoritarianism dismissed. "It can't happen here" is the usual sentiment. An American president once had more than a thousand citizens jailed in opposition to what became known as World War I. Another, a veteran of the other's administration, had large numbers of citizens interned and deprived of property on ethnic grounds. Both were known as "progressives."
In dealing with mass murder, there is always a call to restrict firearm ownership, a democratic principle and political right of free peoples. Little note is ever made of how political such calls are. A Latin nightclub in New York City was attacked with a simple container of gasoline in 1990, killing 87 people. Coverage quickly faded. No guns, no single-story news cycle.
Try finding a link between crime and legal arms of any type in FBI crime data. Mass killings have been carried out in many countries, on scales from hundreds to tens of millions, the victims already "protected" by restrictions against their own gun ownership. Authoritarians always see to that. When the serfs gained the right to their own property and weapons, they became citizens, and no longer property themselves.

Legislation introduced Monday by U.S. Rep. Thomas A. Marino, R-Cogan Station, calls for a federal hiring freeze until the country's budget deficit has been eliminated.
Marino, frustrated with a $17 trillion national debt and President Barack Obama's unwillingness to compromise on spending cuts, said his proposal is just one step to help dig out of a deep financial hole.
"Someone has to be man enough to step up to the plate and introduce it," he said Tuesday during a telephone interview from Washington, D.C.
He said Obama will continue to tax the American public.
"He didn't want an agreement. He wanted a tax on everyone," Marino said of Obama's stance during fiscal cliff negotiations. "He's not trustworthy; he's simply a tax-and-spend person."
"Everybody knows why we need to do this, but he doesn't care," Marino continued. "In four years we're going to be bankrupt and in four years he's going to be out of here and make lots of money."
Marino introduced similar legislation in 2011. Since then, the national debt has increased by $2.1 trillion while the U.S. borrows 46 cents of every dollar it spends, he said.
The bill contains exceptions when federal hiring would be permitted, such as times of war, national security interests and federal law enforcement purposes.
"I have the utmost respect for federal employees, and this bill is in no way an attack on these employees or the work that they do," Marino said. "But I believe that federal workers are willing and able to step up and be a part of the solution. Our nation's current fiscal course is simply unsustainable and we cannot afford to bankroll this administration's endless spending spree."
Marino said the bill has a good chance to move forward. It will proceed to committee hearings where Marino may have an opportunity to provide testimony, he said.
"Obviously, a hiring freeze is not a silver bullet that will unilaterally lead us out of this crisis, but it is a start," he said.

7 JMB men put on fresh remand
Staff Reporter A Dhaka court on Monday placed seven suspected members of banned Islamist outfit Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB), including its acting ameer Abdullah Al Tasnim alias Nahid, on a seven-day fresh remand in two cases. Metropolitan Magistrate Mizanur Rahman passed the order after sub-inspector Mozammel Hossain of the Detective Branch of Dhaka Metropolitan Police produced them before his court on completion of their four-day remand with a 20-day remand prayer in the two cases. The court also rejected the bail pleas of the accused. The others who were remanded are Nayeem Ali, 28, Sikander Ali, 25, Mahmud Ibn Bashar, 23, Masum Billah, 26, Fuhad Hasan, 18, and Ali Ahmed, 24. Earlier on September 19, another Dhaka court put the seven suspected JMB members on a four-day remand in the two cases. Plain-clothes police in a drive arrested the militants from the city's Turag area on September 18. During the drive, the Detective Branch (DB) members also seized 10 kg gel-mixed chemical and jihadi books. The arrested militants had planned to carry out attacks on VVIPs, VIPs and KPIs to draw the attention of middle east-based militant group Islamic State (Isis), said DB sources. Police filed two cases -- one udder the Explosive Substances Act and the other under the Anti-Terrorism Act -- against the seven JMB men with Turag Police Station on September 19.

ABC (Mon., Feb. 18, 9 P.M. ET)
It's said that women love a man in uniform. Not nearly as much as television does. This infatuation peaked in the '70s with CHiPs, S.W.A.T., The Rookies, etc. Hollywood still occasionally cranks out these fawning salutes to civil service, and the result is usually tedious—witness this disaster melodrama.
This towering flameout is a dramatization of an actual incident in 1988, a fire in what was then L.A.'s tallest smogscraper, the 62-floor First Interstate Building. The primary victims are Peter (Newhart) Scolari and Lisa Hartman, workaholics burning the midnight oil. Leading the valiant boys in blue to the rescue is Lee Majors.
The movie is plausible as far as the fire goes, but only the rubberneck syndrome could get you to stick with this limp hoser.

Thermistor measurement instruments
For the temperature measurement application, where low temperatures within the range of 32-120 Deg F (0 - 50 Deg C) are the subject of concern; wide temperature range measurement systems, just don't seem the best fit.
When you need to measure 120 Deg maximum, using a 2200 Deg thermocouple is 20 times the ideal span. Why would you use a thermocouple for concrete cure temperature measurement when a Thermistor is closer to the range? Why would you use a thermocouple to measure greenhouse environmental temperature when a Thermistor is closer to the range?
This is where the thermistors and instrumentation designed to read thermistors fit the need. Robert Owen designs and manufactures Thermistor measurement instruments to fill that need.
Using the ROI-USB-Thermistor and Excel, you can have a high precision real time status of your concrete cure or greenhouse environment.
The display updates in a easily noted quick read format, in a way that gives a instant view of the current status.

July is a special time in Georgia because it's the month when most of the laws passed during the previous legislative session go into ...
Page 1 of 1
You could call 2009 "the year of the quitter" in Georgia politics.
It was a 12-month period marked not by the accomplishments of politicians serving in elected office, but dominated instead by the news of people who decided to leave office or drop out of an upcoming election campaign.
It's no surprise that the Georgia media has been consumed with the recent scandals erupting at the state capitol over legislators and their alleged affairs with lobbyists. Any assignment editor with a pulse will tell you that sex is what brings readers and viewers to a story.
In the rush to explore every aspect of Glenn Richardson's resignation as House speaker, however, we may be overlooking a story that is much more important to the state's future: the continuing failures in our banking system.
The Republican leadership in the Georgia House worked out an arrangement among themselves last week for the scandal-plagued Glenn Richardson to step down as House speaker and be replaced by Mark Burkhalter in the powerful legislative position.
The high-ranking Republicans hoped to put their problems behind them with the removal of Richardson, but they still have some long-simmering issues to resolve. The decision from on high to change speakers is not sitting well with some of the rank-and-file House Republicans, especially the younger ones who've only served in the legislature for a few terms.
Horse racing? Casino gambling? Until recently, those were two topics you didn't discuss at the state capitol.
Bills would occasionally be introduced by liberal lawmakers from Atlanta to legalize pari-mutuel wagering or allow casinos to operate at Underground Atlanta, but the measures typically would be assigned to committees that wouldn't bother to give them a hearing.
"So why did he REALLY do it?" I've been asked that question many times since the news broke that House Speaker Glenn Richardson had tried to commit suicide by taking an overdose of sleeping pills.
In the months since he announced he would try for another term as governor, Roy Barnes has been flying under the radar of Georgia politics.
Politicians are often accused of "putting the fox in charge of the hen house" - of giving someone with a vested interest in an issue control over how that issue is resolved.
A good example is a president (such as Barack Obama) who appoints people from Wall Street to enforce federal regulations intended to crack down on illegal behavior by Wall Street's investment community. Needless to say, you're not likely to get vigorous enforcement in that situation.
You would think people would be fired up about the congressional races on tap for next year, considering that Republicans will be trying to reverse their election losses of 2006 and 2008 while Democrats will be trying to protect their majority status.
In the early polling among Georgia Republicans, Insurance Commissioner John Oxendine has consistently been leading in the race for governor.
Starting now and for years to come, many Georgians are going to see increases every month in their electricity and natural gas bills.
A few dollars here, a few dollars there, these little increases will add up to very impressive totals for the state's two largest utility firms: $175 million for Atlanta Gas Light and $1.6 billion for the Georgia Power Co.
The telephone book was once a familiar part of everyone's household. Some of the directories were big enough and heavy enough to be used as doorstoppers, but everybody would use them at some point to look up a neighbor's number or just check to make sure the phone company had listed their own name and address correctly.
But the white pages directory of residential telephone numbers is another cultural artifact that will soon become obsolete, just as the buggy whip became unnecessary when Americans shifted from horses to automobiles as their favored form of transportation.
One of the themes underlying this year's waves of political protests - whether anti-tax, anti-Obama, anti-healthcare reform, whatever - is that government in all its forms should be abolished.
Georgia State University seems to have everything going for it: the second-largest enrollment of any state college, a campus that is revitalizing downtown Atlanta with all the new buildings going up, and a sterling reputation as one of the University System's four research institutions (a status it shares with UGA, Georgia Tech and the Medical College of Georgia).
Even with all the academic acclaim, one thing Georgia State never had was that staple of southern college life: a football team.
Now that we are turning the corner on summer and moving into the fall season, let's try to answer some of the questions hanging over Georgia's political landscape.
If you are trying to figure out what your congressmen really believe in, don't focus on what they say -- look closely at what they do when it comes time to vote.
A good example of that involves Georgia's two senators, Saxby Chambliss and Johnny Isakson, and their approach to spending about $2 billion of your money.

In honor of Halloween, we're posting an excerpt from one of the horror stories in the rare book collection, The Night Hag; or, St. Swithin's Chair: A Romance, which was published in the form of a small pamphlet by J. Bailey in the early nineteenth century (the pamphlet is undated). There are only
two three copies reported in WorldCat, and Special Collections has the only reported copy of this text in the United States (2014 update: there's another copy reported in the U.S. now, at the University of Pittsburgh).
He who dares sit on St. Swithin's chair…
The star of the romance is Fergus Campbell, "a captain in the Scotch service then stationed in Edinburgh, in the reign of James the Sixth." Fergus' aunt is the wealthy Lady Margaret Mucklethrift, and Fergus is second in line after his cousin to inherit all of her money and property. Thirsty for riches, Fergus decides to rob his aunt of her riches and depose his cousin as her heir. After a series of failed plots, Fergus decides to seek supernatural help.
"It was now Hallow mass E'en, and Fergus thought of the ancient spell of St. Swithin's applicable to that season, that then the Night Hag, delighting in scenes of blood and murderous deeds, has full power.
He who dares sit on St. Swithin's chair,
When the Night Hag rides the troubled air,
Questions three, if they speak the spell,
They may ask, and she must tell."
Fergus asks his three questions and finds that he will indeed gain his aunt's incredible riches, with the Night Hag's treacherous help. After stabbing his aunt to death, with the household on the alert, Fergus hides in her iron-clad strong box. Will he be discovered?
No spoilers here! Of course, there's much more to the story: an innocent man framed for murder, a pair of star-crossed lovers, and a reformed criminal with a critical decision to make. Read more about it in Special Collections!
The Scott Connection
This pamphlet purports to be "a romance, on which is founded the popular drama now performing with unbounded applause at Astley's Amphitheatre." Several plays were produced under this title in the early nineteenth century, featuring Fergus Campbell, his unfortunate aunt, and the rest of the characters in the romance. Indeed, the first of these plays was performed at Astley's Amphitheatre and ran in September and October 1820. The playbill for this production said "The Idea from which the Subject is arranged [is] taken from the Interesting Legend of St. Swithin's Chair, in Walter Scott's Popular Novel of Waverly."
The problem? The interesting legend of St. Swithin's Chair, as far as it pertains to Fergus Campbell, isn't in Waverley. The novel includes a poem entitled "St. Swithin's Chair", based on an old Scottish legend, but that's all. In his 1992 catalog of playbills and scripts based on Scott's works, H. Philip Bolton notes the difficulty in relating The Night Hag to Waverley, judging the play "doubly apocryphal."
How does this pamphlet relate to the Night Hag plays of the nineteenth century? When was it published? And, perhaps most importantly, who was its author?
At this point, we don't know. If you're a researcher in this area, come finish the story, and help us find out.

Dan Rosen at NHL.com has this quote from Derek Stepan on learning what it takes to succeed in the NHL…
"My whole entire game has gotten more consistent," Stepan said. "When I went into my first slump, it's safe to say I wasn't playing good enough hockey or hard enough hockey to play at this level. I had to get talked to, get set straight, and now I'm playing better. I went four games without a point, but I think those were some of my better games. Hockey works like that."
Stepan on Brandon Dubinski's positive influence…
"Dubi is a guy that I look to for advice. When things aren't going the right way, he'll be the first guy to come up to me and talk to me. He's a hard-working guy, strong on the puck and he can score goals."
…after a rough start following the opening night hat trick Stepan has been everything and more you can expect from a rookie. This kid is a winner and I'm so stoked for his future as a member of the Blueshirts
….also awesome to see Dubi taking him under his wing.

Integrating the bird's look, personality and history into a word that produces a positive response in your bird and others takes a little forethought.

> NEF Pardner 20 gauge for deer hunting?
January 2, 2012, 05:43 PM
I got it when I was younger and did some squirrel hunting with it. Is it possible to hunt deer with the single-shot pardner? How accurate would a slug be with this?

Very possible.
Take it to the shooting range to see how accurate a slug would be, try a few different brands and see which one works best.
January 2, 2012, 06:15 PM
A smoothbore shotgun needs to use standard foster style slugs, no sabot style as they are made to be used in rifled barrel shotguns.
Something like this would work if it proved fairly accurate for you.
Of course Remington, Winchester, and Federal make good stuff too.
January 2, 2012, 06:47 PM
A smoothbore shotgun needs to use standard foster style slugs
Wouldn't a Brenneke slug also work in a smoothbore shotgun?
January 2, 2012, 06:49 PM
The link that NCsmitty posted was for Brenneke slugs
January 3, 2012, 06:14 PM
I have a H&R 12 ga turkey gun fixed full choke that will shoot cheap walmart winchester slug under 6" groups @ 50 yards as long as long as you can stand to shoot it. My tamer 20 will do the same with brenneke's and kicks just as hard
Dave McCracken
January 3, 2012, 06:28 PM
Accurate enough, but it will kick.
Andrew Wyatt
January 3, 2012, 06:50 PM
I found the brenneke slugs out of my 20 gauge to recoil less than buckshot.
January 3, 2012, 07:27 PM
My NEF will shoot slugs into one hole at 25 yards... but I did have to file the bead to get it to shoot them point to aim.
357 Terms
January 3, 2012, 08:25 PM
I seem to remember that you can buy a rifled adj sight barrel from NEF for like $125, can't remember the xact price, that would be alot better for deer hunting.
January 3, 2012, 08:58 PM
If interested, here's the link to H&R barrel replacement program. They offer a rifled 20ga barrel with rifle sights, fitted for $75 +shipping.
These can shoot a sabot slug in excess of 100yds with rifle like accuracy.
January 3, 2012, 09:17 PM
My expereince with a N.E.F. single shot mortaring Remington foster slugs at 50 yards was horrible.
Not only did the 12 gauge beat the crap out of me but the miserable bead "sight" was so poor that I could not even hit a target that was 20 inches high and 14 inches wide!!
This shotgun has a fixed modified choke.
Yours on the other hand might be the cat's meow in accuracy but dont count on it with a bird bead for a sight.
Get the rifle sight barrel at least for the sake of the deer you are firing at.
January 3, 2012, 09:20 PM
It will work great if you find the right ammo.
Andrew Wyatt
January 4, 2012, 11:02 AM
pick up the NDS-38 and your favorite ramp/bead.
Enjoy your ability to hit things with a slug.
January 4, 2012, 03:39 PM
Despite all of the very good suggestions, I am considering buying a 12 gauge with a rifled barrel.
January 4, 2012, 10:04 PM
Accurate enough, but it will kick.
You said it brother!
I had one of those when I was a kid hunting ... hardest kicking gun I =ever= had.
January 4, 2012, 10:26 PM
The rifled barrel gun is set up for slug shooting with a soft recoil pad, steel weight bar in the buttstock, heavy walled barrel and provision to easily mount a scope or optic.
The gun weights about 8.5 pounds so recoil isn't as bad as some might make you believe.
The single barrels can have a set of stick on sights installed, I think the makers name is "Accu-Site" and they will work OK but you will know you are shooting a powerful load in these lighter guns!
eta; forget sabot type slugs in a smoothbore barrel, stick with standard Foster or Brenneke type slugs.
January 5, 2012, 04:42 PM
Sure. as for accuracy, a lot depends on the shooter and the ammo. Provided you do your part, you should be able to hit minute of deer at anything less than 100 yards in a clear view.
January 6, 2012, 09:36 AM
Ordered me a .50 BP barrel the other day for my Pardner !
January 6, 2012, 09:58 AM
If you have a regular shotgun barrel, you can put a paper plate out to about 50 yards and see how it does with 5 dollar a 5 shell box slugs. You might even try closer at 25-30 out of curiosity. How far are the deer you are shooting at? A 20 GA slug will work fine on deer and buckshot will too when you are real close.
January 6, 2012, 04:57 PM
In 1977 I took a large (well by Florida standards) buck with a Franchi 48L using the old foster type slugs. One shot and down it went, so yep, it should work even better today with newer slug designs. It's all about shot placement.

Robert H. Caldwell was one of Sandusky County, Ohio's most
substantial citizens. A blacksmith and part owner of a Lower Sandusky (Fremont,
Ohio) tavern, Caldwell also owned acreage in Fulton County, Ohio. However, when
gold was discovered at Sutter's Mill in California, Robert Caldwell could think
of little else. "Gold fever" was everywhere. Like thousands of others, Caldwell
was consumed by visions of spectacular wealth.
In the spring of 1849, Caldwell and his brother William joined
forces with a group of Sandusky Countians to form the Fort Stephenson Mining
Association. Acknowledging the high potential for financial disaster and
personal danger, the men pooled their funds, agreeing to share their resources
and support each other on the journey West. By late April, Caldwell was in
Independence, Missouri, outfitting for the 2,200-mile overland route to
California. The group's date of arrival in California is unknown, however, they
purchased claims at Beals Bar and Negro Bar on the American River. Nothing was
as they had envisioned. Heavy snows, inflated prices, fires, robbery, floods,
riots, and sickness plagued the group.
During Robert's absence, Eleanor Caldwell had given birth to a son
and endured the death of their adopted child. Cholera epidemics had forced her
to flee her Fremont home on two occasions. Despite Robert's failure to discover
significant amounts of gold, he continued to believe he would strike it rich.
Just before Christmas 1853, death claimed Robert Caldwell and his dreams. A
Sacramento minister consoled Eleanor by writing that while "Robert was buried
among strangers, he had died among friends."
The transcribed letter is one of nine surviving letters written by
Robert Caldwell to his wife from California. The letters are part of the William
Caldwell Family Collection (Local History
Collection 71).
Negro Bar Cal.
Saturday Afternoon April 23, 1853
My Dear Wife
& Son,
It is with the Greatest Pleasure that I have This opportunity of Saying to
you all that I am well. I Recd Yours last night from the city dated March 10th.
Which informed me that You are not well. My dear how I felt no one can tell but
myself.. I had sorrowfull feelings you may rest assured. You also said in yours
of the former letter that you was quite unwell. I was in hopes to hear You was
much better by this time, but I am Still in hopes by the next that You have
recovered Your health. You speak of Receiving Mine dated December the 25th, but
You don't say you got a draft for $50.00. But You Say Something about having
some money and how You have disposed of it, but I have come to the conclusion
that You did get it however. You say you don't see anything but clouds & of
darkness and Black despair. O my dear Eleanor, I wish in my hart that You would
if you could drive all those clouds over & see if some light would not
appear. I doe think you make yourself too much trouble. I would Gladly come home
now at your Request without one cent in my Pocket after I get home. But I know
full well that I Should be complained of for So doeing. Now Eleanor I have some
prospect [of] making some this Season. And I hope You will be contented for
awhile Untill I make one more effort and See.
Now I will here ask You one question, suppose that I doe come home and not
have any Money, what will you allways say to me (now think). I will tell You
what You would say to me. If you had allways heard [listened] to me, you would
not of went to California. As to that I will admit, but You finaly concented for
Me to go. Well now I am here. Are you not willing to sacrifice Some of the
happiness of each others Society for me to make one more try & see if I cant
make up for at least a small part of the Sacrifice? I wont argue the Subject,
for then if I thought You would be any better Sattisfied, but I will close this
at least for the moment. I don't wish to come home now and You have discribed
the fate of all that came home and be a beggar. No I will die here unless things
change my mind more than they doe now. This is, My dear Eleanor, a Serious
Subject to dwell uppon.
I am now here alone away in Cal. And I have no friends, but Strangers to give
me any consolation but I probably Shall doe as well as I have done before. When
I have bin sick heretofore, I had no friend to give me any aid. I had to allways
[to] depend on Strangers. And as Yet I have never needed but Your Sweet will and
Still I Shall have to trust to providence for the futere. I think he will direct
all things aright.
I think of that Lovely Child of ours and often look at his and Your likeness.
It now lies before me on the table and I often anticipate the pleasure that he
May be to us both.
You Say that You did not se[e] Tindall, but You heard that he would not Risk
Sending Lumber here to Me in California. Well he need not doe it if he dos not
wish to. I gess that I am not quite broke Yet. He also Says that people have a
bad name here in California & He wants Security for his Risk. Perhaps that's
all wright. All I can Say, he can Keep his Lumber and Sell it at home if he
likes for $10.00 per thousand, if he had it here it would be worth $350.00 per
thousand. So it is some difference aint it. I am no Ensurance office to ensure
Ships around the Horn. I am glad to hear that men are getting Rich faster in
Fremont than in California. If I cant make a Raise here Soon I will come home
then & try that old famous city once more.
Now to business matters:
I have perused your business matters with Lady Pearse. Yo[u] Say She is a
hard case & so Doe I. But You have in My candid oppinion have done the thing
up Brown with hir and better perhaps than I could have done. But I am perfectly
well Sattisfied in the whole matter concerning it. I am Glad you have held onto
the lot and not let hir have it back as some person wished to get it.
I am happy to Hear that the Misses Russles both ar[e] accomodating & let
you have the Mony to pay Hir. I will send the amount Just as Soon as I Can take
that much out of the Mines. I would of Sent it now but the Water in the River
has bin two high on the Lane [?]to work dirt Ever Since Wm. C. left. We can
commence in a day or two and Soon take out that much. I [?]Some talk of Selling
out My Share of the claim here. I have here $500.00 dollars now offered. I will
know in a few days whether it is best to take it or not
Tell the Mrs. Russles both I will Send the Mony in a Short time. As Soon as
the water gets down then it will come along with the Interest two. So My dear,
don't You be afraid. Everything I hope will work for Good
Friday Morning and I am well as usual. It is now Raining hard and has Rained
from three oclock Yesterday afternoon & we have worked this week only one
and one half days. We did not took up Gold last night. It Rained So hard
everyday. It pa[id]d $7.20 cts per day to the man. It does not look much like
doing anything to day. I hope it will be [f]air weather Soon. It is much needed
I have nothing of interest to day to write to You. Hoping You will enjoy Your
Self Much more than Usual. I will now come to a close
Ever Remaining Yours Truly
R. H. Caldwell
Eleanor Caldwell, C. A. Caldwell, & Amanda Lary
I have Seen J. M. Smith a few days ago at Slate bar. He was busy working out
Gold & he was well. He told me that P. J. Norton was over. He is still at
Beals Bar. It is Said that he has a fine prospect for Gold there this Season. As
for any of the others of our Fremonters, I have not heard Except Mr. Clark &
Gasser [?] that I write in my former Letter. Since that I have not Heard now I
will come to close by saying [to] all my friends in Fremont city and up the
county. My best wishes &tc. I have Some room Yet. But I don't [k]now of
anything that would interest You in the least. In Your next Just answer if You
got those drafts or not.

The Skrauss was born in Milwaukee in 1970 and is overly sensitive to his city's diminutive image in the larger world. His paintings tell the stories of "The Milwaukee2 Epic Cycle."
Heavily influenced by comics and grand sweeping narratives Skrauss is attempting to create, his own mythological world which, if all goes well should increase respect for Milwaukee globally.

JUST weeks after it was revealed that its Arts Council funding for the next financial year would be cut, The Maltings Theatre has announced a record year's trading, with non-funded income increasing by 82 per cent since October 2008.
Like many other north east-based arts organisations, the Eastern Lane entertainment venue fell victim to the cuts that were announced as a result of the Government's comprehensive spending review a few weeks ago.
The theatre will see its funding drop by £3,351 over the next year but at the moment Maltings chief executive, Dr Miles Gregory is keen to herald its "remarkable turnaround against a backdrop of recession and gloom.
Doubling the programme of events and a radical building makeover has helped The Maltings revenue soar from £239,689 last year to £361,274 in 2009/10, while public subsidy increased by just £1,164 in the same period.
Ticket sales are up by 33 per cent on the previous year, and the theatre now attracts over 100,000 visitors annually.
Chairman of the Board of Trustees, Maurice Ward said: "Two years ago the Board took the decision to invest in the future of The Maltings by renovating the building and reinvigorating our programme of shows and events.
"We recognised that this involved some financial risk but it was essential if we were to offer the people of Berwick a thriving and stimulating arts centre."
Mr Ward said that the change in the theatre's fortunes would not have been possible without the full commitment of the staff and the "vision, skills, knowledge and experience" of the theatre's CEO & artistic director, Dr Miles Gregory.
He added: "Excellent progress has been made on all fronts and The Maltings is becoming an important part of Berwick life for many people as it increasingly attracts audiences from outlying areas as well as locally."
The increase in The Maltings' non-funded income has brought the theatre back to a breakeven position in 2009/10 from an annual operating deficit of nearly £50,000 in the previous year.
"We've achieved this remarkable turnaround against a backdrop of recession and economic gloom," said Dr Gregory,
"It's a great story – of courage, hard work, vision and determination – and it's one that should make our community proud."
But local residents are concerned that cuts planned by local government and Arts Council England may threaten the future success of the theatre. Nearly 1,000 people have joined the Facebook group 'Save Northumberland's Theatres', which is campaigning against the theatre cuts in the region.
Dr Gregory recognised the negative impact cuts may make in the future, but noted that the theatre has experienced cuts in funding for a number of years.
He continued: "While our performance as an organisation has never been better, the total level of public funding we receive has fallen by 21 per cent in two years, and is likely to fall further.
"So far, our improved performance has absorbed this serious cut in funding, and we remain at a break-even position.
"But it is critical that our funders, patrons, friends and the community at large support us as we work towards greater self-sufficiency."
Dr Gregory added that the staff team have "worked incredibly hard" to move the theatre forward.
In The Maltings annual report, which can be downloaded from www.maltingsberwick.co.uk, Dr Gregory outlines a number of specific objectives for 2010/11. These include increasing the amount of film programming, refurbishing the Henry Travers Studio and growing turnover by a further five per cent.

Palace Cinema
Coomb End,
Coomb End,Radstock, BA3 3AW
No one has favorited this theater yet
A small town cinema that opened in 1935. It was operated by the W. Truman Dicken Cinemas chain and closed in 1956.
I heard various legends about the hall when I worked at Bath in the late-1960's. The main story being that had been converted from a 1816 built Methodist chapel, and for many years retained chapel seats in its front rows. The building was extended when it became a cinema. It had a 21 feet wide proscenium, and never converted to screening CinemaScope films.
Since closing it has been in retail use as a carpet warehouse store.

Pulse of the Twin Cities

One case took aim at McCain-Feingold campaign finance reform and blew it out of the water. That legislation put some limits on corporations and unions and said they could not run candidate ads in the closing weeks of an election campaign. The goal was to reasonably level the playing field in electoral politics so it's not so skewed toward those with the most money to spend. While it was Wisconsin Right To Life who challenged McCain-Feingold, which limited campaign ads that went beyond issue advocacy to naming specific candidates, what the court addressed was corporate speech.

Thats how many emails are in my Microsoft Outlook inbox at this moment.
How is that possible when I, like millions of cubicle dwellers across America, get literally thousands of emails per month?
Its a philosophy called Inbox Zero. Its a solution to the overwhelmed, out-of-control feeling that a jammed inbox invokes.
Granted, my inbox of eight emails is not zero. But thats the nature of living the Inbox Zero life; its more an aspiration than an up-to-the-minute reality.
But with a mostly clean inbox, I feel more organized and less stressed by the daily email avalanche, maybe because I know nothing is getting missed. And Im not even very good at Inbox Zero, being a relative newbie of just nine months on the program.
Ben Rady, 34, a software engineer in Chicago, is better at it, subscribing to the philosophy since 2006.
Hes unequivocal: Inbox Zero saved his career.
Theres no doubt in my mind that my career would be nowhere near where it is now if I had not done this or something like it. I needed to make a big change, he said.
Rady, who says he has a terrible memory and was disorganized, had just gotten a job as a consultant and was overwhelmed by the logistics of arranging meetings with clients and managing travel itineraries, in addition to the programming he was doing. His email was a central problem.
I couldnt handle it, he said. I had to get organized or I would have been fired.
He went on to excel at his career and to write a book and teach classes on the side.
A lot of people think its impossible, Rady said of regularly reducing his inbox to zero. I get the reaction sometimes, Why would you take the time to do that? The whole reason I do it is to save time.
The basic idea of Inbox Zero is to use the inbox as a triage space for doing something with email, not as a repository. With a new email, you might delete it or move it to a folder.
For example, I received an email about an in-house social media seminar that I should attend. I noted the date and time on my calendar and deleted the email because Ill never need it again. I harvested all the useful information from it, leaving a useless husk.
As an airline-industry reporter, I also received a stock analyst report on United Airlines with possible useful information. Without reading it, I moved it to a folder called Airline story fodder. Im not writing about United Airlines today, but I might need it soon. I also write a personal finance column, so when I get a news release about smart use of coupons, I move it to a folder, again without reading it. When I write a column about coupons, I can just search for the keyword coupon to find all the emailed news releases I need.
The point is to act on email as you process it in batches. Leaving messages in the inbox is frowned upon.
So Inbox Zero doesnt mean you dont keep old emails, it means theyre not in your inbox, where theyre a constant energy- and attention-sucking distraction. As InboxZero.com says, That zero? Its not how many messages are in your inbox its how much of your own brain is in that inbox. Especially when you dont want it to be.
Inbox Zero is not particularly new, especially among productivity gurus. Its origin is attributed to Merlin Mann, founder of productivity website 43Folders.com, who, in turn, cites inspiration from David Allen, author of the book Getting Things Done.
Productivity consultant Jan Wencel, of Naperville, founder of Life Contained, is a strict adherent to Inbox Zero, but she doesnt push it on her clients.
I advocate finding a rhythm that works for them, and thats not always an Inbox Zero, she said.
Another check of my Outlook program shows my inbox now has 16 inhabitants. No worries; Ill process that sucker to zero in no time.

The U.S. Coast Guard is unsure of what caused pools of a "thick, purple diesel-type product" to appear at three Charleston area marinas.
Coast Guard pollution responders traveled to the Bristol, Ashley River and Charleston City marinas Saturday after a boater who keeps his vessel at one of the marinas reported the pollution at about 6:20 p.m. More reports soon followed.
Joshua Nichols, command duty officer at Coast Guard Sector Charleston, said Sunday that the heaviest pockets were within the City Marina, and that a mile-long and quarter-mile wide sheen was visible in the Ashley River from the U.S. Highway 17 bridge to Tradd Street.
City Marina employees deployed additional boom and absorbent pads Sunday morning.
Nichols said most of the product had dissipated by Sunday morning and had become unrecoverable because of heavy rainfall so it was not necessary to use the Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund as Coast Guard officials had initially intended.
Petty Officer 1st Class Lauren Jorgensen said Sunday evening that the source of the pollution remained unknown but that whatever had caused the chemical spills was not continuing to flow. Jorgensen said the exact type of chemical spilled was unknown but that it had a "strong diesel odor."
Coast Guard pollution responders left the area Sunday morning after the chemical had begun to dissipate, Jorgensen said.

Well iirc wide lens raises accuracy 1.1x making a 95% accurate move 104.5% accurate not sure about Zoom lens.
No Guard afaik for some reason doesn't work on your partner in 2v2. But a common strategy is to skill swap it onto a pokemon with sheer cold and then they will have a 100% accurate OHKO move. But OHKO moves are cheap and banned in standard play.
Tetris DS- 873843 320232
Pokemon Pearl- 2148 4722 0731
PM me if you add me in either.
If you need any help on playing either of these two games competitively just drop me a PM and I'll see what I can do. I'll rate your team for you as well (not Tetris lol), but make sure it has EVs, natures, items and descriptions.
I'll also help with almost any other DS game including MKDS, DKRDS, MPH, CoD4MW, EBA. Note: I say competitive alot and I like to win lol.
Thanks boss.
Minor happy thought.
I love it when my poor natured (+sp def, - def) Special Sweeper Lucario can sweep a Speed Deoxis, a dialgia, and a lucario on pbr over wifi...
Edit: I would like to add a question to this frey,
King's Rock and Razor Fang (?) both add chance-of-flinch to moves.
Does this stack with Flinch causing moves, or essentially add a second roll?

whats a iv battle
PS3 now, sorry Wii. You gather dust.
It's a battle on wifi where you check your pokemon's stats at level 100. It ensures 100% accuracy when you check a pokemons iv.Originally Posted by Wii_BrEnDo2007
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
-Robert Frost
that sound shit
PS3 now, sorry Wii. You gather dust.
Basically it is a lvl 100 singles battle (can b double but no difference) were either one or both people use the stat increase from going into a lvl 100 battle to input the stats of the pokemon into an IV calculator. They also use thier nature and now the use of chracrteristic is used aswell as their are certain one that give a high probability of 31 in one Stat (and more is possible).
IV stands for Individual Value and the higher the IV the higher your stat will be at the end of EV traning. The higest IV u can get is 31 and if u fully EV that stat you will have it maxxed out. That is y natuire is also important as there is a +10% boost and -10% reduction in 2 stats (unless u have a netural nature).

i iv train but dont iv battle
PS3 now, sorry Wii. You gather dust.
U cannot train IV's, i think u mean EV train. IV's have a fixed value from the moment it hatches or u catch a pokemon, so there is no way to increas or decrease it

Title 43
Chapter 43.101
Section 43.101.010
Beginning of Chapter
<< 43.101.010 >>
When used in this chapter:
(1) The term "commission" means the Washington state criminal justice training commission.
(2) The term "boards" means the education and training standards boards, the establishment of which are authorized by this chapter.
(3) The term "criminal justice personnel" means any person who serves in a county, city, state, or port commission agency engaged in crime prevention, crime reduction, or enforcement of the criminal law.
(4) The term "law enforcement personnel" means any public employee or volunteer having as a primary function the enforcement of criminal laws in general or any employee or volunteer of, or any individual commissioned by, any municipal, county, state, or combination thereof, agency having as its primary function the enforcement of criminal laws in general as distinguished from an agency possessing peace officer powers, the primary function of which is the implementation of specialized subject matter areas. For the purposes of this subsection "primary function" means that function to which the greater allocation of resources is made.
(5) The term "correctional personnel" means any employee or volunteer who by state, county, municipal, or combination thereof, statute has the responsibility for the confinement, care, management, training, treatment, education, supervision, or counseling of those individuals whose civil rights have been limited in some way by legal sanction.
(6) "Chief for a day program" means a program in which commissioners and staff partner with local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies, hospitals, and the community to provide a day of special attention to chronically ill children. Each child is selected and sponsored by a law enforcement agency. The event, "chief for a day," occurs on one day, annually or every other year and may occur on the grounds and in the facilities of the commission. The program may include any appropriate honoring of the child as a "chief," such as a certificate swearing them in as a chief, a badge, a uniform, and donated gifts such as games, puzzles, and art supplies.
(7) A peace officer is "convicted" at the time a plea of guilty has been accepted, or a verdict of guilty or finding of guilt has been filed, notwithstanding the pendency of any future proceedings, including but not limited to sentencing, posttrial or postfact-finding motions and appeals. "Conviction" includes a deferral of sentence and also includes the equivalent disposition by a court in a jurisdiction other than the state of Washington.
(8) "Discharged for disqualifying misconduct" means terminated from employment for: (a) Conviction of (i) any crime committed under color of authority as a peace officer, (ii) any crime involving dishonesty or false statement within the meaning of Evidence Rule 609(a), (iii) the unlawful use or possession of a controlled substance, or (iv) any other crime the conviction of which disqualifies a Washington citizen from the legal right to possess a firearm under state or federal law; (b) conduct that would constitute any of the crimes addressed in (a) of this subsection; or (c) knowingly making materially false statements during disciplinary investigations, where the false statements are the sole basis for the termination.
(9) A peace officer is "discharged for disqualifying misconduct" within the meaning of subsection (8) of this section under the ordinary meaning of the term and when the totality of the circumstances support a finding that the officer resigned in anticipation of discipline, whether or not the misconduct was discovered at the time of resignation, and when such discipline, if carried forward, would more likely than not have led to discharge for disqualifying misconduct within the meaning of subsection (8) of this section.
(10) When used in context of proceedings referred to in this chapter, "final" means that the peace officer has exhausted all available civil service appeals, collective bargaining remedies, and all other such direct administrative appeals, and the officer has not been reinstated as the result of the action. Finality is not affected by the pendency or availability of state or federal administrative or court actions for discrimination, or by the pendency or availability of any remedies other than direct civil service and collective bargaining remedies.
(11) "Peace officer" means any law enforcement personnel subject to the basic law enforcement training requirement of RCW
and any other requirements of that section, notwithstanding any waiver or exemption granted by the commission, and notwithstanding the statutory exemption based on date of initial hire under RCW
. Commissioned officers of the Washington state patrol, whether they have been or may be exempted by rule of the commission from the basic training requirement of RCW
, are included as peace officers for purposes of this chapter. Fish and wildlife officers with enforcement powers for all criminal laws under RCW
are peace officers for purposes of this chapter.

1977 ex.s. c 212 § 1;
1974 ex.s. c 94 § 1.
2008 c 69:
"The legislature finds that the Washington state criminal justice commission's participation in charitable work, such as the "chief for a day" program that provides special attention to chronically ill children through recognition by various law enforcement agencies within the state, advances the overall purposes of the commission by promoting positive relationships between law enforcement and the citizens of the state of Washington."

In the June 2008 issue of the Archives, Chirica et al1 report outcomes of resection in patients with stage IVA hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) according to the fifth edition of the American Joint Committee on Cancer/International Union Against Cancer (AJCC/UICC) staging classification. The authors emphasize the limitations of this classification to predict survival after resection of bilobar nodules.
This classification has actually been replaced with a new one that addresses this limitation. In 2002, the International Cooperative Study Group on HCC proposed a simplified system. They classified HCC with multiple nodules, regardless of lobar distribution, as stage II (no tumor >5 cm) or stage IIIA (any tumor >5 cm).2 The current (sixth) edition of the AJCC/UICC classification, published in 2002, reflects these changes.3,4

Brown, Thomas (1778–1820)
Thomas Brown was the last prominent figure in the Scottish philosophical tradition deriving from David Hume and Thomas Reid. Like Reid, he took the mind's knowledge about itself to be a datum it is pointless to challenge or try to justify, since no other grounds can be more certain for us. But he defended Hume's account of causation as nothing more than invariable succession. The mind, therefore, is a simple substance, whose successive states are affected by and affect the states of physical objects: the laws according to which these changes take place are no harder to grasp than the effects of gravitation. Brown's lectures, published as delivered daily to Edinburgh students, seek to classify the laws of the mind so that we can conveniently understand ourselves, and direct our lives accordingly; the last quarter of his course draws conclusions for ethics and natural religion.

I'd make two(or maybe 3) points in response to your post:
1. Nutrition is definitely an indiviual thing - and there is no one diet/nutritional plan that works for everyone - be it because of religious restrictions on food, intolerances, or simply not liking certain foods.
2. While many on PB do go low-carb, it's not a *requirement* - though many on these boards feel that lower-carbohydrate diets had the best results in terms of achieving the goals they wanted. Sweet potatoes are considered perfectly normal within the PB - not the best option if lower carbohydrates are your goal, but a good choice if they fit with what you're trying to do nutritionally. White rice is one of those "marginal" foods - technically not the most primal of foods, but a relatively clean carbohydrate choice, and better than most if you want to use it as a carbohydrate source.
3. There's no rule that says "YOU MUST EAT THIS WAY" - if there are certain details within a diet that don't fit for you, you can try modifying it to suit your needs and see how that works. It may not be by the book, but there's nothing inherently wrong with that. In general, eating as many minimally-processed foods as possible should be good for you, even if you like to have the periodic helping of rice(which again, if not primal and a bit high-GI, is still a pretty clean carb).
