Astonishing and beautiful.
It is so beautiful to see two men sharing intimacy.
I hope they're all gay and straight.
The sleeping pictures are wonderful in their sense of freedom and lack of complication.
Sweet, peaceful pics, but, I can't believe ANY of them ate Str8!!! How can that not lead to boners, and, at least, roaming hands and frottage? Wouldn't it be great if most straight men adopted this activity? I'd love to cuddle with quite a few of my bubba buddies!
They're all posed except for the guys sleeping on the train, but oh my god the guys sleeping on the train!
SO NICE how Queerty always throws in ONE 'token' black guy/couple. But it's always usually just the one photo in these 'pictorals'. They couldn't copy/paste more from Google images?
pic with the dog is not two dudes. bra strap……….
@nudedude: May be trans lolol
Apparently there are no cuddle photos of adorable, older, heavier, hairier straight and gay men out there for you to gather up Queerty.
I'm somewhat amazed that you couldn't find a way to insert Davey Wavey and/or Zack Efron into the mix.
@nudedude: @<a href="#comment-824582"
Yeah, but I think it's a cuddly boy dog.
You even have threesomes. Geez Queerty, don't go exceeding my expectations. No clear favorites, they're all ethereal.
Very cute, but, how does Queerty have any idea of what these men's sexual orientation is simply by looking at the photos?. Do you guys simply infer they're all straight because many of them are masculine looking?. I think it's great men(straight, gay, bi) share this kind of intimacy, but I think it's troubling to make inferences on people's sexual orientation, in either direction. Yes, we can't just infer they're gay/bi because they're snuggling, but you can't just infer they're straight because they have the 'jock type'.
I have a feeling many of those snuggles turned into a sex tape!
I thought the two guys sleeping on the train was staged, and the image flipped, because the label on the camo suit reads "HOMO" backwards. Then I noticed that the subway map is Moscow, and the word is "omon", Russian for "riot police". Now THERE'S irony.
How sweet and lovely. Remind me myself.
I agree with you 100% and to be honest when i look at these pics, I just can't help but think that most of these guys are gay or at least bi. Maybe it's wishful thinking on my part. Whatever. Personally though, I'm getting real tired and annoyed by this straight obsession many gays still have. Yeah I know, I know. I'm being such a Debbie Downer right now. ;) I mean, I'm glad that more and more straights are getting less uptight. I get it, but at the same time I don't get all fangirly at the idea of 2 straight guys cuddling. I swear, there are some gay guys out there that seem to get more turned on by the idea of straight men touching each other than actual gay men passionately going at it. It seems crazy (and it is), but there is truth to it.
The deal is straight guys don't say they were cuddling .. But instead, chilling out with a bud:) Photos almost never happen. Lol.
Cool pics though.
@TerrenM: I was thinking exactly the same thing. Especially since I've been reading a lot about race and diversity issues so I'm becoming more aware about white supremacy and stuff. It just sucks that there's not much we can do to change it :/
Don't get my wrong I always love these pictures of guys being affectionate with each other, but at times it seems a bit redundant with the same race of guys and sometimes even similar styles, I have to do a double take to see if I already saw that one or if those guys look like brothers lol. Interracial couples ftw! :)
@yupwhatever: " I swear, there are some gay guys out there that seem to get more turned on by the idea of straight men touching each other than actual gay men passionately going at it. It seems crazy (and it is), but there is truth to it."
Yup, guilty as charged! And I wish I knew how to get past this issue, which to a some degree extent infects the whole community from top to bottom; G4P etc. As a community we need to have big ass debate about the causes and pschological cost of all this. As a start Queerty could adress the issue and regularly at that.
From a nilla perspective I'd echo the call for more variety and ethnic diversity round here.
— My Dick
Prince of Snarkness aka DIVKID: I think this " more turned on by straight men touching eachother "- Thing is a kind of natural or "normal" for men who like men.I mean in a lot of situations you are "outnumbered" in daily live if you don't live in a gay bar.But you still like men.So there are tons of situations to "fantasize".If this "Thing" turns not into a "Don't be gay" -or a "All men are at least Bi"Attitude I do not see any "Issue" there…
Prince of …..:"daily life", should I read my bla…?
And NO to "homosexuality = anal sex"-Thing.There millions and millions of straight people and I who do not think or say that.
where are the fat gay people?
Don't forget that this site caters to a particular segment of the gay population.
This is more like someone's J/O twink fantasy. Very young and white with one token black and hairy couple thrown in for variety and not very good one's at that. Like someone did a last minute find.
Ummm, yeah… Cuz 96% of all guys that cuddle are white…
That isn't a bra strap. If you look at the photo more closely you'll see it's the lighting that's casting a shadow that is not quite a straight line. Also try doing a Google reverse image search and you'll see this pic on a lot of other gay orientated websites.
I thought the two guys sleeping on the train was staged, and the image flipped, because the label on the camo suit reads "HOMO" backwards. Then I noticed that the subway map is Moscow, and the word is "omon", Russian for "riot police". Now THERE'S irony.
Auntsharon, I taught ESL in Moscow in the early '90s (shortly after the break-up of the "CCCP"), and I can confirm that even among "homophobic" Russians, the kind of male/male body contact seen in the Moscow subway photo above would not cause the slightest bit of giggling or mocking.
I would also totally recommend gay historian John Ibson's Picturing Men for a vintage photographic survey of how body-language-rules have changed (for the worse) among American men. A lot of the poses seen above were extremely common and uncontroversial in American photography between the Civil War and WW2.
It wasn't that the "spooning" guys in these antique, sepia-toned photos represented some kind of secret homosexual underground (a few of them might have, but nearly all of the spooning male couples were straight); the point is that hugging or hand-holding weren't sexualized back then, so these activities were okay for "normal" hetero guys to engage in during a photo session.
Gays coming out of the closet temporarily made American straight guys extremely paranoid about simple, non-sexual cuddling with their bros, but I think society has almost evolved enough now that young guys are beginning to re-understand the difference between sexualized gay-cuddling where you're deliberately trying to give each other boners, and just-friends cuddling between dudes who like each other and are trying to keep warm without sexual tension.
P.S. I totally love "nekkid spooning" with another horny homo guy before and after man-sex, and it's disappointing if a sex-buddy doesn't want to spoon and cuddle because that would mean we're boyfriends engaged to be gay-married, and they're afraid of commitment. (I have always been a big believer in inviting the other guy to crash on my sofa if he wants and cooking him breakfast in the A.M., even if it's a totally no-strings "buddy" situation.)
However, I also fully understand that "spooning" doesn't have to be even slightly sexual. I "spooned" non-sexually as a gay Boy Scout, and I've also done it as the uncle of a 7-year-old nephew who likes to snuggle up with whatever adult is reading the bedtime story, whether it's mommy and daddy, or grandma, or Uncle Rob, or Aunt Cathy.
The deal is straight guys don't say they were cuddling .. But instead, chilling out with a bud:)
Yep, terminology can be important, too!
:)Hey McGee …if a straigt man hang out with his "bro" its like hanging out with his brother… familiar bodycontact is normal and has no sexual intention.I use to have male friends since Kindergarten and shared a flat with 3 guys ( friends of my 5 years older sister).I was like the little sister.If boys or men are not insecure or educated to "keep distance" they don't care so much about if this or that could " look gay".
Str8 black men do not cuddle, spoon, etc…This is strickly a white thing. It just kills me to think of all the things white people get away with lol…
Oh well! watcha gonna do. lol
:)…after a few beer/joints they pretty much spoon everything.So if you are looking for "same- sex experience" with straight guys this might be the right moment.(As a woman I kept Friendship / Sex mostly separeted…if you hang out with your male friends you have to decide between "girl"or "Buddy"…And mostly I choose Buddy.So if they hit on me you simply say no and make not a big buzz or bla about…)
….and NO they do not spoon or cuddle(these words overates it) all the time. Now .I have to spoon.Good Night
Internet is always full of ridiculous fiction. These kids nowadays are just as homophobic if not more homophobic than ever before. Give it a rest with the fantasies.
There are closeted guys who will interact with each other and some go on to find a beard. That's about as close to this being a reality as you're going to get.
At the end of the day everyone in question is still gay, claiming they're not is dependent upon their environment, and upbringing.
Trick question. There are no straight ones, but I can totally tell which one is the "woman" in all of them. :)
Why is there 1D?!??!
Captain Obvious:…a prison is a save place…I m sorry to hear that being gay seem such a terrifying thing to you that you think all people on the planet must feel the same.Or you just know homophobe people or closeted men or men who are gay.But if it makes you happy to belive that. The fact is :Berlin is not the bible belt.Germany not the USA and Western Europe not America
Apparently there are no cuddle photos of adorable, older, heavier, hairier straight and gay men out there for you to gather up Queerty.
Well, the photos were tied in with an article about a survey of college-aged guys in the UK, so (for once) Queerty's chicken-centric photo selections sorta made sense — at least, they fit the text.
That said, not all college dudes are slender twinks with waxed chests!

:)Agree to Mc Ghee.I Love Handles.(…Can't be the only one or you would call them Hate Handles)
KDub: See no women but some straights here…you need to see a doctor.
I am fortunate to have a touchy feely str8 friend.
We aren't at the cuddling point, BUT, we gone from saying I love you a lot to each other, to when we sit on the couch, he then sits sideways with his legs resting on my lap, to sometimes be handsy, and now, he would sometimes just give me a peck on the forehead. I can't ask for a better friend.
I am of bigger stature too and wants to help me get slender. I love this man!
Agree to Mc Ghee.I Love Handles.(…Can't be the only one or you would call them Hate Handles)
Toberlin, as the Russians say, "Ja ne govorju po-nemetski", so forgive my incompetent German, but I didn't know, dass Du bist ein Mädchen!. Well, bad luck for me, but straight men are lucky!
Anyway, I also love Love Handles… my favorite guys are big rugby players who have (natural-looking) muscles, but also enjoy well-cooked food and quality beer and have a bit of extra fat on them.
I am of bigger stature too and he wants to help me get slender.
I've said this before, but: "Martial arts! Martial arts!" Seriously, for many reasons, a good martial-arts program is one of the best possible approaches to improving your overall physical condition. (For one thing, karate or whatever gives you a sort of framework in which you can pursue other conditioning/weight-loss activities such as weightlifting and aerobics.)
Also, DON'T rely on crash diets without adding some sort of regular exercise routine. Simply adjusting your daily schedule to add about 30-60 minutes of brisk walking EVERY DAY can help. A buddy of mine in NYC lost a whole lot of extra weight in six months after he and his hubby moved to a new apartment that was considerably farther from the nearest subway station than their old apartment had been — so it added about 30 minutes of walking (round trip) to his daily commute.
@Throbert McGee: Oh No,but thanks for the flowers/DITO…said it at the first Time that I am a women I have written something here and a few times later.Funny Thing is since Kindergarden they call me Boyish.Pony&Ballet were O.K. just the playing with & punshing back Boys instead of crying totally not.:)
@Throbert McGee: it's only gay if the balls touch? You are pathetic…
it's only gay if the balls touch? You are pathetic…
In many ways I am pathetic, but there's nothing pathetic about my reading skills, Mary.
But since you seem to have some problems in the reading department, let me dumb it down for you:
Two male Greco-Roman wrestlers who both like vaginas and aren't turned on at all by penises are in a really tight grapple and their balls rub together = NOT GAY
Two guys are having dinner in a restaurant (maybe their first-ever dinner together, maybe their 100th dinner together) and without even touching physically or speaking, they look into each other's eyes and understand that they have an intense mutual attract to each other's maleness and that an hour or so after dinner they will be in bed sharing hot sweaty ecstatic man-to-man sex = EXTREMELY GAY
It's that recognition of mutual homosexual desire between two men that makes a situation "gay", not the manner in which they're touching.
P.S. I might add: Gay dude orally servicing a totally hunky straight dude who isn't attracted to him and is just enjoying a blowjob that he doesn't have to pay for while closing his eyes and thinking about women = NOT GAY, JUST KINDA PATHETIC AND SELF-LOATHING AND IMPLICITLY HOMOPHOBIC
I think that these photographs are absolutely beautiful, and depict a degree of intimacy seldom seen in daily life. I also agree with Throbert McGee that a great many straight men will enjoy being orally serviced by another man. In fact, Craigslist provides so many examples that I seriously believe that more than 10% of the male population has had sex with other members of the male population, notwithstanding the fact that most of these men do not self-identify as gay.
It is possible to enjoy extreme intimacy without any physical touching whatsoever. A look can convey more emotions than any degree of physical sexual connectedness.
It is also possible for physical touching to mean absolutely nothing sexual, despite the fact that the participants genitals may be touching, as in the examples of Greco-Roman wrestlers.
@Throbert McGee: Thanks for your opinion. I agree with you on almost everything. I was adopted by an older couple when I was four (1955) and I called their sons my uncles since the youngest was about thirty. My best friend was the stepson of one of my uncles and we grew up together since we lived on the same farm and always bathed and slept together in many of those positions above. We considered each other brothers. Two of our uncles were homophobic and made remarks about our closeness because we were always hugging and lying on each other. Our parents never told us it was wrong or prohibited us from being US and they expected us to hug and kiss after our fights. Our parents would tell our homophobic uncles we'd grow out of it like they did. One of them claimed they were never like us. When we were around thirteen (1964) we found a box of old photographs of when our uncles were kids (1933)and they were caught spooning and on each other and in each other's arms around age fourteen and fifteen and worse, in some photos they were naked playing horse wars and swimming and sunning on the banks of a creek near our house from ages fourteen to eighteen or twenty and a couple had erections (1935-1941). When my dad caught us looking at the pictures, he looked at them with us and explained how close our uncles and their friends had been and then said, "That damn war changed all of them" meaning World War II, so I don't know what happened that changed the views on how we acted to those uncles or if they knew from the start I was a sissy and my best friend and I would eventually become the partners we did. My partner at sixteen had a son with an eighteen year old woman that I raised after he passed away in Vietnam. I don't know if he thought of women when we had sex. He talked about them now and then but never when we had sex. In our time (the sixties) and I can only make an opinion of the boys around us in the small towns in south Texas, they were very stand offish from each other and they never hugged each other or slept with each other from what I knew at the time and didn't know about the gays ones that had been closeted during that time until around 1975. They had some tales to tell. By then I had been to countries where boys hugging, kissing, spooning, lying in each other's arms AND holding hands publicly did not mean they were gay. BTW my mother left me all those pictures and more in a locked box when she passed away in 1991 and I made a CD of them and gave them to all my uncles' kids leaving out the more erotic ones. Some are posted on a site of vintage males here on the net.
@Aromaeus: Oh,my! The catering to Whites and more "poor left-out" me. I am not White, but if I feel a site always caters to people so unlike myself, I move on.
"Can you tell which ones are straight?"
I'm going to go out on a limb and say not the ones cuddling naked in the bathtub together.
So, if you cuddle with a friend that is female, does it mean that you are sexually attracted? It is funny how those assumptions about others only seem to go one way. "Yeah, he's gay"
Thinking that straight guys are into cuddling each other, is delusional wishful thinking. They avoid it like the plague.
This article is so true. I'm a teacher in the UK and many of the 14 year old boys I teach are very touchy-feely with each other. They think nothing of sitting on each other's laps, walking down the corridor arm in arm, playing with each other's hair – it's amazing when only a few years ago these actions would have been an invitation to teasing, name-calling or worse. I teach in a mixed-sex school and neither boys nor girls have ever made any negative comments about this physical demonstration of friendship.
In the past I have only witnessed physical intimacy like this when abroad (Spain, France etc.) where it has always been more common.
It bodes well for the British psyche!
@DickieJohnson: I'm gay, my brothers straight and we still cuddle. We've never fooled around. That's insane. He's the baby of the family I'm 17 yrs older than him. He's like me son, and our father was an ass so we were close. He always slept with me. When he got out of high school he came to live with me. Me, my sister and him lived in a small studio apt so we slept in the same bed. Giving my sister her own. My brother and I would cuddle nothing weird. I cuddle with my sisters too. I'm don't know what kind of family you came from but. Me and my sibling are very close and say things like I love you. We hug for no reason. I have 6 siblings.
Speaking as a straight male, this is purely fictional. Straight guys do not cuddle. There's no way straight guys hang out privately and cuddle, but simply call it "hanging out".
I'm pretty sure your friend isn't straight.
Sweet sweet photos!
How cool is it that they're this comfortable with each other :) sweet
I knew this jock in college and he had a TV attached to the bunk above him. He and another straight guy would lay there in their underwear and watch TV together.
So hot
Those are awesome pictures! I love it!
Mario, Ricky
Cute. But there's nothing "bro" about any of them.
*snort* Id love to have/see that type of brotherly love, but those boys are all either gay, or just models pretending to be.
99 percent of these photos are staged so I can't give the article itself much validity
Well, that's enough to warm my heart for the current Winter.
Okay, I'm guilty of this as well But alcohol had played a major part of it I suppose. It was college �???
Adorable Calgarian couple. 20th picture @karstenwayne
This one is missing, sooo sweet ;))
@TerrenM: Yeah, amazing how white and exclusionary Queerty is.
@TerrenM: White-centricity has been brought up before to Queerty but they seem uninterested in doing anything about it.
Love that plnk pillow, and the green pants!!
either way. . .
this is just strange
Not just a pink pillow it looks like a hello kitty pink pillow
cackles, "so, hot muscle boys need to huddle up for warmth during a blizzard!?"
"Bro" <– ROFL.
@Evji108: Seems you are the delusional one with an immature and ignorant knowledge of the human male .
@Evji108: Seems you are the delusional one, with an immature and ignorant knowledge of the human male.
These aren't "bros" these are just couples cuddling.
@Billy Budd: It's so beautiful to look at.
I love the one of the two bears cuddling and the squadie on the train.

What to expect now
As a Navigator working with the state to educate Vermonters about the exciting changes coming to our health care system, I hear a lot of confusion about Vermont Health Connect, Vermonts health benefit exchange. There are 200 Navigators working in all parts of the state. We have been specially trained to provide accurate information and help Vermonters understand their options for getting coverage through Vermont Health Connect. Because of the states large investment in Navigators, Vermonters will have plenty of help enrolling in coverage. And there will be new and easier ways to enroll through the Vermont Health Connect website, over the phone, through the mail, or with in-person assistance.
Vermont Health Connect is the online marketplace that begins Oct. 1 where Vermonters without access to affordable employer coverage and small employers with up to 50 full-time employees can buy health insurance and enroll in public programs like Medicaid and Dr. Dynasaur. Vermonters will have the choice of 20 private health plans offered by BlueCross Blue Shield and MVP that are heavily regulated by the state.
Choosing a health insurance plan will be much easier than it is now. There will be no more guessing about what benefits are covered. All plans will cover the same comprehensive set of services, including primary and specialty care, hospitalization, prescription drugs, mental health and substance abuse, and dental and vision services for children. The differences among the plans are in the cost premiums and out-of-pocket costs like deductibles, co-payments, etc. Information about the plans will be in a standardized format so it will be easy to compare plans. Vermonters will choose the health plan with the premium amount and level of out-of-pocket-costs that best fits their health care needs.
Changes are also coming to some of Vermonts public programs. The VHAP and Catamount Health programs will end on Dec. 31. For thousands of Vermonters this means enrolling in Medicaid, which is free. Financial assistance through reduced premiums and out-of-pocket costs will be available to Vermonters with annual incomes up to about $46,000 for an individual and $94,200 for a family of four.
While many of the changes Vermont Health Connect offers are a step in the right direction, more long-term steps to control health care costs and provide truly affordable coverage are happening simultaneously.
Even as it focuses on getting Vermont Health Connect up and running, the state is preparing to move to a universal coverage, single-payer health care system. In a single-payer system a relatively modest amount of taxes will replace some of the billions that we currently spend on private health insurance. The projected savings for the first year of a single-payer system are projected to be $35 million, and increase over time. Only when we switch to a single-payer system will we be able to ensure that everyone has access to truly affordable and comprehensive health care.

- Title
- A demonstration of the use of ultra-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry [UPLC/MS] in the determination of amphetamine-type substances and ketamine for forensic and toxicological analysis
- Author(s)
- Apollonio, Luigino G.; Pianca, Dennis J.; Whittall, Ian R.; Maher, William A.; Kyd, Jennelle M.
- Abstract
- We have recently seen the emergence of ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) coupled to mass spectrometry as an alternative to traditional high-performance liquid chromatography techniques. The strengths of UPLC technology promote the ability to separate and identify drug compounds with significant gains in resolution and sensitivity and marked reductions in the overall time of analysis. As increased throughput is the desire of the practical toxicology laboratory, the aim of this study was to trial commercially available technology by assessment of the separation of several commonly encountered amphetamine-type substances. From injection of a poly-drug reference standard and whole blood extract, we successfully separated and identified amphetamine, methamphetamine, ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, phentermine, MDA, MDMA, MDEA and ketamine in less than 3 min using the Acquity UPLC-Micromass Quattro Micro API MS instrumentation (Waters Corporation, USA). In addition to this significant reduction in overall run time, all peaks exhibited acceptable resolution using selected ion recording (SIR), with analysis indicating the capability to separate 5-11 peaks in 1.75 min using the current system parameters. From this introductory data, it is therefore indicated that the technological advancements defining ultra-performance liquid chromatography will allow it to serve as a powerful analytical tool for rapid throughput analysis.

Rural Vermont announces black market' event
MONTPELIER The nonprofit group Rural Vermont will present Black Market Bounty, an event featuring a potluck meal and storytelling, on Nov. 24.
The evening will feature true stories about making, raising, accessing, selling and buying the best food you cant buy, according to a news release.
The states black market includes illegal cheese, contraband meat and underground farm foods, according to the release. Rural Vermont is advocating legalizing what it calls these treasured, traditional foods.
All are welcome to the free event. Donations will be appreciated, however, with proceeds benefiting Rural Vermont, which advocates for family farmers and citizens committed to supporting and cultivating a vital and healthy rural economy and community.
Organizers say the storyteller lineup includes a diversity of personalities and styles, and that the stories will shed light on different aspects of Vermonts thriving fresh food black market. Some stories will be lighthearted and fun. Others will be serious.
The event will take place at the Unitarian Church in Montpelier from 6 to 8:30 p.m.
People attending are asked to bring a dish to share and a place setting. For more information, visit www.ruralvermont.org.MORE IN This Just InAutopsy reveals

Archive for the 'battle of the bands' tag
Calling all local bands: Prepare for battle!
With the dawning of a new year in the local music scene, two upcoming music contests promise to give one lucky band or musician some momentum in the months to come.
The first is the "$3,000 Scruffy City Band Eat Band Competition," sponsored by WFIV-FM i105, Blank Newspaper, Rock Snob Recording and Preservation Pub. The grand prize: $3,000 cash, one week in Rock Snob Recording Studios and a one-hour on-air interview with i105 — plus a show on the Market Square stage when the fine folks at P-Pub gear up for their outdoor concert series later on this year.
To enter: send an email to email@example.com; in the subject line, write "$3,000 Band Eat Band Competition." Include the following information: Band name, contact information, city, number of band members, a three-word description of your music and links to songs and/or videos. It's open to bands and musicians of all styles.
Criteria to win: "Bring a big audience to see you play, wow the audience with your songs and showmanship, be original and be cool," according to the Facebook event page.
The competition begins on the second Tuesday in January and will continue every Tuesday night through May. Semi-finals will be held in June (with $100 and $200 prizes awarded), and the finals will take place July 27. All shows will take place at Preservation Pub, 28 Market Square, downtown Knoxville.
Also getting under way this month: the "Hard Rock Rising" contest, sponsored by Hard Rock Cafe Gatlinburg. The grand prize is a world tour of Hard Rock locations around the planet, and most of the competition takes place online.
Requirements: A ReverbNation band page with a minimum of 50 fans. All genres of music are welcome, but original songs are a requirement.
Getting started: "Like" the Hard Rock Cafe Gatlinburg official page on Facebook and stay up to date for updates. The registration begins Monday, Jan. 7, and is open until Jan. 21.
Get the word out: Start spreading the word! All voting will be conducted by "Liking" Hard Rock Gatlinburg's Facebook page and voting via the Hard Rock Rising 2013 ReverbNation app. Voting begins on Jan. 28, so get the word out early and often. (Note: Even bands not in East Tennessee can register at the Hard Rock Café Gatlinburg; however, for the first round of voting, all votes (via member locations on Facebook) must be within a 100-mile radius of Gatlinburg.
The top 12 vote-getting acts will compete in a live competition at Hard Rock Gatlinburg Feb. 18-15, and the winner from each market will then go on to compete in an online voting competition to determine the top 25 bands. Those 25 will be reviwed by Hard Rock and industry officials to determine the grand prize winner, which will be announced May 6.

Harp Art Lab presents Millophonia - A permanent sound installation in Harplinge Windmill The Swedish artist Mikael Ericsson has been been working on this large scale sound installation for the past two years. His idea is to give the windmill a completely new function and identity.
HARP ART LAB is situated in Harplinge Windmill a few km north of Halmstad on the Swedish westcoast. The windmill offers an unique environment for contemporary art, sound and sculpture. The machinery is fully functional and this summer the production of creative energy has began. Our vision is to invite artists to make new works in this historical building or in the surroundings. Harp Art Lab is not a traditional art gallery, it's a platform for developing, innovative, interdisciplinary ideas. We want to create collaborations on a regional, national and international level.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) cleared a new test developed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to diagnose human influenza infections and the highly pathogenic influenza A (H5N1) viruses. The device, called the Human Influenza Virus Real-Time RT-PCR Detection and Characterization Panel (rRT-PCR Flu Panel), uses a molecular biology technique to detect flu virus and differentiate between seasonal and novel influenza. The device is used to isolate and amplify viral genetic material present in secretions taken from a patient's nose or throat. The viral genetic material is labeled with fluorescent molecules, which are then detected and analyzed by a diagnostic instrument called the Applied Biosystems 7500 Fast Dx, also cleared by the FDA for diagnostic use simultaneously with the CDC's rRT-PCR Flu Panel. The test panel and diagnostic system can detect and identify commonly circulating human influenza viruses as well as influenza A (H5N1) viruses. Results can be available within four hours and the system can test multiple samples at once.

Happy Birthday, Blog!!!
I can't believe it! 1 year ago today, July 16, 2009, "Live, Eat, and Breathe Yankees" was born. I remember the circumstances: it was the last day of the All-Star break. The Yankees had not played in a few days, and I was down-right BORED. I stumbled across the "Start your own MLBlog!" icon on the side of my MLB profile. I clicked it, not knowing what I was getting into. My brother wanted to know what I was doing on the computer, and I said, "I'm starting a Yankees blog!" His response?
"NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Virginia don't do thaaaat! Pleeeeease!"
Truth is, he knew what I was getting into. I didn't. He knew that he was going to have to share is precious computer with me almost every day so I could blog. He knew I would be obsessive. And he knew I would enjoy it, which is why he didn't want me to do it.
Haha just kidding. He's not that mean.
My first post was about the possibility of the Yankees acquiring Doc Halladay. Haha fail:
Doc's in the House
What is a fair package for the Yankees to give up to acquire Roy Halladay?
The Yankees have many talented prospects that can be fair game for trading. Austin Jackson, Jesus Montero, and Andrew Brackman, Ramiro Pena, and Francisco Cervelli, just to name a few. They also major leaguers that could go. Joba Chamberlain, Phil Hughes, Melky Cabrera, Brett Gardner, and Jose Molina are all quality baseball players that may be helpful for the Jays. But are they expendable for the Yankees?
The Blue Jays want A LOT for the best pitcher in baseball. And a select few, the Yankees, Red Sox, Phillies, Cardinals, and maybe the Angels, can afford him. The Yankees should get Halladay to keep him away from the already-strong Red Sox. But the problem with the Yankees giving up there prospects for the Doc is that at the end of the 2010 season, Halladay is a free agent and may not want to return to the Yankees. That means the Yankees wasted the future of their franchise for an immediate contributor, which they have done too many times before.
But saying Halladay wants to remain a Yankee, which prospects should the Yankees trade? I really hate to say it, but I think Joba Chamberlain should be considered. So far this year, he has not adapted to his a role as a starter; too many pitches (balls) too little innings, too low velocity on his once overpowering fastball. Even if the Yankees tried to put him back in the bullpen, he may not be that dominant guy of 2007. He is still a good pitcher, and still has a high trade value, and with work can be great again. Maybe the Jays are up for that.
Aside from Joba, I think the Yankees should trade star catching prospect Jesus Montero. The Yankees already have a very suprisingly good young catcher in Francisco Cervelli. Montero is still a few years aways from the big leagues. His primary skill is his bat, where he has Mike Piazza potential. But I think the Yankees need a strong defender and great game caller behind the plate, and that is what Cervelli brings to the table. He can also perform with the bat by doing the little things like bunting. He is not an automatic out. So although Montero is surely a great hitter, I think the Yankees have enough in their lineup and Cervelli is more valuable to the team. And besides, it would be hard for the Blue Jays to turn down an offer with such a talented prospect like that in it!
I'm sure Brian Cashman is working on putting Halladay in pinstripes. I hope he doesn't do anything stupid by trading away somebody very valuable to the future of the Yankees. So Joba Chamberlain, Jesus Montero, and maybe others will bring the Doc to the Bronx. We can only hope.
Okay so I was wrong in that post. Halladay is with the Phillies, and there are no signs of him joining the Yankees anytime soon! And Joba Chamberlain…what a mess. I don't think he has an ounce of trade value left in him.
I've had so much fun this past year here on MLBlogs, and I owe it to you guys ♥ Thank you for giving me a home here on MLBlogs. Thanks for reading, commenting, and writing your own blogs. I love reading what everyone else has to say.
One thing you all really deserve a "thank you" for is for listening to me gush about certain players….(ahem, FRANCISCO CERVELLI ♥)….I can see how that may get annoying, but I can't help it. Thanks for putting up with me!
MLBlogs has given me so many great opportunities. Aside from getting to know you guys, it's given me other writing opportunities. FanVsFan is an amazing website, and I am so glad to be a part of it. Thank you MLBlogs for helping me get known and for letting FanVsFan find me!
If anyone is interested in joining FanVsFan, I suggest you do. Just like MLBlogs, you blog as often or as little as you want – no contracts! And, you can do more than just writing. You can debate! Here is something I'm doing now:
If you want to vote for me, I would really appreciate it. Go to "Register" at the top-righthand side of the site, create a profile, then vote for me!
What I would really like is for some of you to join the FanVsFan community. Trust me, it is AMAZING. If you want to join, contact Michael Hirschbein at firstname.lastname@example.com or
firstname.lastname@example.com and tell him that you are interested in joining at that Virginia suggested you.
I once wrote a post about my blog being lucky. The Yankee won the first 8 games they played since the day I started my blog. Maybe, since they started that 8-game winning streak a year ago, they will have another nice long winning streak now!
I'm glad the All-Star break is over and that the Yankees play tonight. When they aren't on, my blog posts are too random and rambly…I better wrap this one up.
Thank you, Yankees, for giving me something fun to do for this past year! I don't see myself stopping the blog anytime soon, so thanks for all this future fun as well!!!
Happy Birthday, "Live, Eat, and Breathe Yankees!!!!!"

Congrats on your first anniversary of your MLB blog. We all know that it is only the beginning, and that a few years from now you will go back and read the first entries and just see how far you have progressed and gotten a feel for writing.

Coveted tickets on sale starting today
PRINCESS ANNE, MD-(January 3, 2012) "Lights, Camera, Action!" University and community committee members, sponsors and a celebrity liaison are getting ready for the University of Maryland Eastern Shore's 2012 Gala.
Tickets for the red-carpeted event March 3 go on sale today.
If you want one of the 450 seats at the "Best Party on the Shore," don't delay in requesting a ticket, Dr. Veronique Diriker, director of development at UMES and event coordinator, said. "Since adding Hollywood celebrities to our guest list three years ago, Gala tickets have sold out in a matter of a couple of weeks."
Diriker expects the announcement of the celebrity guests soon. Sharon Stone, David Alan Grier, Tyne Daly and Pam Grier attended the 2011 Gala.
In its 13th year, the Gala has become the university's signature fundraising event.
"It's a great party, but the true success lies in how the event benefits our students," Diriker said. "The generous support of event sponsors and guests funds the Carnival Gala Endowment from which student scholarships are awarded annually."
The event also provides an avenue for students to showcase their abilities, Diriker said. Over 200 students are involved—Hotel and Restaurant Management students honing their culinary and management skills, Honors Students meeting Gala guests, and students in the Jazz Band and Drama Society performing.
Tickets are available at two levels—an Oscar ticket for $175 and a VIP ticket for $500. Both include gourmet hors d'oeuvres, a four-course dinner in the presence of celebrity guests, dancing to live music and souvenir photos. The VIP ticket adds preferred seating at the Gala and special receptions with celebrities at the Courtyard Marriott in Ocean City on March 2 and one hour prior to the Gala on March 3.
Call Diriker at 410-651-8142 or email email@example.com to purchase tickets.

Mike Conway opts to sit out finale.
Conway said he isnt comfortable racing on ovals, & wont race on them anymore. Just caught a small thing about it on the under part of ESPN TV screen.
You would think that would be the end of having a full time ride then. he must have seriously strong feelings on that to give that up you would think.

Well considering we've played great at this pace and much better (12-13 point differential). There is no concern at all and it's great because we can only get better offensively from here.
I rather see the Knicks play better defense than offense because we know we can score the ball, question is how well we can defend and I believe Knicks have the pieces to be the most imposing defensie team in the NBA.

Head on over to the PaperTigers website, where you will find hundreds of Cats and Dogs waiting to greet you. I exaggerate only slightly for one of our new features is a Gallery of Korean artist Chinlun Lee's work, including illustrations from her delightful picture book The Very Kind Rich Lady and Her One Hundred Dogs.
Japanese illustrator Kae Nishimura also features in our Gallery; and we have new interviews with illustrator Meilo So from her home in the Scottish Shetland Islands and Australian Aboriginal elder and storyteller Gladys Milroy, co-author with her daughter Jill Milroy of our Book of the Month, Dingo's Tree (Magabala Books, 2012).
Also from Australia, Susanne Gervay has written a Personal View about "The Images of Dogs in Ships in the Field" – Ships in the Field is her latest book and was a project close to her heart since it relates part of her childhood as the daughter of Hungarian refugees.
Our featured authors and illustrators all share stories and photographs of the dogs and cats in their lives. In the early days of the PaperTigers Blog, Janet wrote a post about reading to her family's huskies when she was a child. In my own family, you will often find the dog curled up next to (or on top of) whoever is reading – and over the next couple of months we invite you to send us your photos and/or stories of reading time shared with a pet to be featured here on the Blog – please do email them to me, marjorieATpapertigersDOTorg – we'd love to hear from you.

"Mind your own business" used to be the American way. Or at least, the openly-proclaimed preferred way to live. Sure, there have always been gossips and nosey folk; the meddlesome neighbors and busybodies who can't seem to mind their own business, who therefore feel the need to direct your life "for your own good" (the ego boost is icing on the cake).
These people spend a lot of time concerning themselves with what others are doing, and sneaking a peek into everyone else's windows in order to make sure no one is doing things they think they should not — or as H.L. Mencken said of "puritans": suffering from "The haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy." When their sickness becomes the basis of law and punishment their harm spreads beyond their physical reach.
It used to be that these damaged people were on their own, and generally had to hide their most objectionable activities from public view. There have been exceptions, of course, such as their favorite program from an earlier generation: Prohibition- Act 1, which failed to fool people and was repealed. They regrouped and attacked again. Now they are the ones making and enforcing the laws; wrecking lives and destroying the economy in the process. And too few people hold them accountable for the harm they do, thinking that their actions are necessary for "the common good."
Nowadays too few people seem to be able to even recognize when something is their business. Even libertarians can have difficulty there, although we generally think it is better to err on the side of staying out of other people's lives rather than to err on the side of sticking your nose where it may not belong.
To those who can't stay out of the lives of others, I want to ask: Isn't your own life enough for you to stay busy with? Don't you have enough to do without worrying about who others are marrying, what they are smoking, what they believe, or how they live? Do you not respect private property rights?
All of these things are just "Peeping Toms" telling the rest of us his or her perversion is not only OK, but good for us. His victims must be punished for objecting to his invasions and for desiring to be left alone. Sure, you can justify almost any meddling if you stretch far enough, but that doesn't make it right.


text: Hospice FAQ Frequently-Asked Questions about Hospice What is hospice? Hospice is a special kind of care for terminally ill adults and children, their families and their caregivers. Hospice: Treats the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of patients Takes place in the patient's home, or in a home-like setting Allows patients to direct their own care Helps patients live as comfortably and free of pain as possible for the remainder of their lives Supports family members Believes the quality of life is as important as the length of life When should hospice be considered? Hospice care may be appropriate when the patient, family and physician determine that medical treatment no longer offers a cure. Then the primary focus of care becomes comfort and quality of life. The sooner the Legacy Hospice team becomes involved, the more we can assist in supportive care, which provides physical and emotional comfort to the patient and family. Who pays for hospice? Hospice coverage is widely available. It's provided by Medicare nationwide, by Medicaid in some states, and by most private health insurance policies. To be sure of coverage, check with your employer or health insurance provider; our staff can help you with this process. Funds may be available for certain individuals who are not eligible for traditional reimbursement.

By nine days past her baby's due date last October, Sarah Ikemire was anxious – and speed-walking daily around Sacramento, Calif.'s McKinley Park.
She wanted baby Mason to emerge on his own, without urging from drugs or, worse, a Caesarean section. She asked her doctor what she could do to encourage her baby to leave the comforts of the womb.
"Have sex, do a lot of walking, and just – think positive and you know, talk to your baby, and maybe he'll be ready to come out," she recalled. Hence the walking, relieving anxiety with speed.
In a survey of new moms at a Midwestern hospital, about 50 percent of respondents had tried at least one nonmedical technique to bring on labor in the week before childbirth, according to a report in the current issue of the medical journal Birth.
Walking was the most popular, and first-time moms the most likely to try to influence the onset of childbirth.
The report says, "Some women take it on themselves to hasten labor, merely to alleviate typical discomfort," but a number of Sacramento women interviewed by The Bee say they wanted to avoid the complications and medical interventions of an overlong pregnancy.
Sacramentan and first-time mom Natalie Miller, who worried that her big baby, Sam, would grow too big to exit by the natural route, tried everything, running down a list in a childbirth text: walking, spicy green curry, acupuncture, sex, and stimulation of her nipples.
Everything but drinking castor oil, that is. Her midwife at Kaiser Roseville said it was safe, but "in her experience it makes people more sick and doesn't actually induce labor. And the thought of being sick – that was not something I was into."
Nurse practitioner and midwife Ruth Cummings is owner and director of the Sacramento Birth Center, a clinic for women in low-risk pregnancies who want natural deliveries outside a hospital.
She said that for many of her clients, "It's important to them to get into labor because normal full term is 37 to 42 weeks. I can give a little fudge in my protocol to go a little earlier or a little bit later, but not much."
After 42 weeks, Cummings refers clients to a hospital, where doctors can induce labor and cope with emergent complications.
Many women believe that medical induction increases their chances of requiring a Caesarean, adding to the pressure to enter labor spontaneously. The connection is unclear in medical literature.
Popular "folk" methods for labor induction have not received much medical scrutiny. Most have not been shown to work in scientific studies – but haven't been conclusively shown not to work, either. Advice often rests on the speculation, or anecdotal experience, of practitioners.
Sex, for instance, has been hypothesized to hasten labor through the application of hormones in semen to the cervix.
"We use something called prostaglandins to induce labor, and we first isolated them from the prostate gland," said William Gilbert, an obstetrician at Sutter Davis Hospital and regional director for women's services at Sutter in the Sacramento region.
The muscle contractions of orgasm have also been proposed to bring on sympathetic contractions of labor.
Though the arguments for the labor-inducing properties of sex, spicy food, or castor oil rest on ideas, not evidence, stimulation of the nipples has had success in clinical trials.
The suckling sensation of a breast-feeding baby instructs the mother's brain to release the hormone oxytocin, which causes the breasts to release milk. Oxytocin also contributes to contractions and the opening of the cervix during labor. Stimulating the breasts before childbirth is believed to trigger this process.
Pitocin, a popular drug for labor induction, is synthetic oxytocin.
The study authors and Sacramento practitioners recommend that women walk, eat hot peppers, or have sex if they enjoy the activities and would do them anyway.
There's really not much you can do to hasten labor, said Gilbert. "In a normal pregnancy, being active, having intercourse and doing these things are good."
The onset of labor is a delicate conversation between maternal and fetal systems, and the signals that control it remain a mystery. If he knew what started labor, Gilbert said, "I'd have a Nobel Prize in medicine."
Cummings has a list of "gentle nudges for hesitant fetuses" but says the most important thing for her clients is to stay calm. She thinks state of mind affects the experience profoundly.
"If you're all worried that you're not going to have your baby in time, you've got this stress going on already. You've gotta give it up," she said. "If the baby's not ready to come out – short of being induced in the hospital with the aggressive medicines – babies won't come out. They really do come when they're ready."
Despite spicy food and vigorous walking, labor had still not begun for Ikemire when her water broke. Wary of infection, her doctor helped nature along with Pitocin. Ikemire soldiered through 37 hours of labor and four failed epidurals, stoically warding off doctors' suggestions of a C-section.
Things may not have gone according to plan, but in the end, she said, "I'm glad he's healthy. Period."

Happy Holidaze!
December 15, 2011 —
I'm often scatterbrained and frequently perplexed—but this week, I found myself even more dazed and confused than usual. The dizzying array of holiday events, parties and fundraisers has me in a tizzy and I momentarily lost my way. Naturally, I'm looking to place blame, rather than own up to a lack of focus, so I'll chalk it up to attending the Delaware Valley Opera's (DVO, www.delawarevalleyopera.org) magical and enchanting production of Engelbert Humperdinck's "Hansel and Gretel." After all, those crazy kids are well known for getting into trouble and losing their way in the woods.
To begin with, I had difficulty deciding where to catch the opera, as it was being performed in a variety of locations. I decided to go with the event gallery at Bethel Woods (www.bethelwoodscenter.org), mostly because I know how to get there. Several of the roles were double-cast, which is great for the performers, but caused a conundrum for me. I wanted to see (and hear) both, but (due to my own double booking) was forced to choose.
Kimberly Feltkamp, Brooke Schooley, Emilie Storrs, Carol Difenbach and Wayne Line vividly brought the Grimm Brothers story to life for a packed (gingerbread) house, and word on the street is that the singers I missed out on—Anna Petrie, Erin Watt and Marka Knight—were delicious as well. I discovered that many of the kids in the audience had arrived early and participated in creating gigantic gingerbread men, which were then incorporated into the set design, surrounding the witch's enticing, edible abode.
With no clue as to why this particular opera has become a holiday staple, I visited the DVO website and read, "The idea for 'Hansel and Gretel' was proposed to Humperdinck by his sister, who approached him about writing music for songs that she had written for her children for Christmas, based on the popular fairy tale... since its earliest performances [the opera] has been associated with Christmas." Hmmm. I literally learn something new almost every day!
Having perused the schedule for the DVO 2012 season, I'm excited to find that the theme is "Shakespeare Sings," and looking forward to catching each and every "informance" that the company has waiting in the wings.

What Should I Know About Health Insurance? Read Up
Paying for healthcare can seem scary or complicated. However, it is essential to know your healthcare coverage and potential costs so you can make smart choices and avoid costly surprises.
Understanding your insurance policy or other ways of paying for healthcare will not only offer you financial peace of mind, but may drive decisions on where to seek treatments.
It is wise to discuss most cost and coverage questions directly with someone who best understands the details of your insurance coverage. This could be a customer service representative with your health plan or insurance company, or someone who manages healthcare benefits within your workplace.
Many health insurance companies also offer extensive web-based explanations of benefits, so logging on is also an excellent starting place.
What about employer-based health coverage?
As you begin your quest to learn more about your available coverage, consider these facts:
- It is usually your employer and not the insurance company who determines what is included in the benefit package. These decisions are generally made on an annual basis. If you want to have input into the insurance plans offered by your company, contact your company's benefits administrator.
- Many companies offer more than one plan. If you have options, examine each plan carefully so that you can choose the plan that best meets your needs.
- A flexible spending arrangement (FSA; sometimes called a Flexible Spending Account or Health Savings Account) is a benefit provided by some employers that offers a way to help pay for out-of-pocket medical expenses, while reducing the employee's taxable income. With FSAs for health-related expenses, you choose an amount of pre-tax dollars to be set aside from your paycheck each pay period. This money is then available to reimburse certain health-related expenses that are not paid any other way, such as by insurance. You may need to supply documentation from a physician or other healthcare provider that the treatment is medically necessary. Note that the IRS does not allow the same expense(s) to be both reimbursed through an FSA and claimed as a tax deduction.
- If you are not satisfied with your employer's health insurance options, contact your Human Resources Department. Make concrete suggestions about how the employer could improve benefit selection, payment options, and other healthcare insurance features. Some organizations even have committees designed to offer this input. In short, if you'd like better or different healthcare coverage, be part of the solution!
What if I don't have employer-based health insurance?
Most Americans' healthcare coverage is "attached to" or supplied by a larger system, such as an employer. If your employer does not offer health care benefits, you may have other options.
If you are disabled, over the age of 65, or have young children, you may be eligible for financial aid (such as Medicare, Medicaid, or low-cost health insurance). To learn more, visit the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
In addition, some states offer healthcare coverage. Check the US Department of Health and Human Services' website for more information.
What questions should I ask?
Once you've learned a little about your healthcare coverage possibilities, begin digging for answers to specific questions.
Health Payment Checklist (Print)
If you have insurance, ask:
- Does the care I want to receive need pre-approval by my insurance company or health plan?
- Do I need a referral from my primary care provider?
- What services, tests, or other costs will be covered?
- How many visits are covered and over what period of time?
- Is there a co-payment?
- Will any additional costs (laboratory tests, equipment, supplies, etc.) be covered?
- Will I need to see a practitioner in a defined network? If so, can you provide me with a list of practitioners in my area?
- If I use a practitioner who is not part of the health plan's network, do you provide any coverage? Are there any additional out-of-pocket costs?
- Are there any dollar or calendar limits to my coverage?
If you do not have insurance coverage for treatment, and paying the full fee each time would be difficult for you, you might ask:
- Can your office arrange a payment plan so that my costs are spread out over a longer period of time?
- Do you offer a sliding-scale fee? (A sliding-scale fee adjusts charges based on a patient's income.)
- Will you negotiate a reduced charge if I pay in cash?
How do I pay for integrative and alternative treatments?
If you are seeking insurance coverage for integrative therapies, you may wish to explore financial issues at the same time you explore care options, since cost may be an important factor in making a decision to pursue particular treatment options. Alternatively, you may decide to explore the cost of care and your insurance coverage after deciding which treatment you want to do.
Whatever process you choose, know that coverage for integrative therapies varies considerably between health plans and tends to be quite limited. It is estimated that consumers pay directly (out-of-pocket) for 80% of integrative therapies. Prior to receiving integrative therapies, you should ask your provider and/or your insurance company:
- Is the therapy covered by my insurance, and will the therapy be covered for any condition or only for certain conditions? (Acupuncture, for example, is covered by some insurance companies but the coverage may be limited to treatment of specific conditions, such as chronic pain.)
- Who is authorized to deliver the services? Do the services need to be delivered by specific practitioners (such as a licensed medical doctor or a practitioner in the company's network)?
A limited number of insurance companies offer integrative therapy insurance coverage. Usually, the coverage is one of the following three types:
- Higher deductibles: A deductible is a total dollar amount that the consumer must pay before the insurer begins making payments for treatments. Under this type of policy, integrative therapies are covered, but the consumer pays a higher deductible.
- Policy riders: A rider is an amendment to an insurance policy that may change coverage in some way (such as increasing or decreasing benefits). You may be able to purchase a rider that adds or expands coverage in the area of integrative therapies.
- A contracted network of providers: Some insurers work with a group of integrative therapies providers who agree to offer services to group members at a rate lower than that offered to nonmembers. You pay out of pocket for treatment, but at a discounted rate.
Two Important Additional Resources
The US Department of Health and Human Services has just launched a comprehensive health insurance search tool at healthcare.gov. Here you can find insurance options based on your situation and stay abreast of policy changes in healthcare reform.
Every state has an insurance commission that regulates the insurance industry, enforces laws, and assists consumers. This agency enforces the laws governing insurance coverage of all treatments, including integrative therapies. (For example, it would enforce mandatory coverage of chiropractic care because this is the law in all 50 states.)
If you have questions about the requirements for insurance coverage of specific integrative therapies, call the state insurance commissioner.
To locate the insurance commissioner's office for your state, go to The National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) website. The insurance commissioner or regulator's office might have different names in different states, such as the [Name of State] Insurance Administration (or Division or Department). Each office has a toll-free consumer assistance number.
In summary
It is important to understand your health insurance or other ways of paying for healthcare so you don't end up with unexpected bills. Getting this information in advance may drive decisions on where to seek treatments.
Get cost and coverage questions directly from a source that understands the details of your insurance coverage. This could be a customer service representative with your health plan, or the government website for Medicare.
If you considering integrative therapies, explore costs and insurance coverage at the beginning, since cost may be an important factor in your decision whether to do a particular treatment.

Salem SerendipityMargaret Ernst BMC '11 | June 15, 2010
There's a wicked cool connection in my family history that has been glowing with relevance for me recently.
Way back in my line of great-great-grandmothers is one of the so-called Salem "witches", hanged on Salem, Massachusetts' Gallows Hill in 1692. She's been my default fun fact in icebreakers for years, and now I want to write my senior thesis about one of the judges who convicted her. And I happened to be in Salem this weekend.
I leave for Iona on June 24th but was visiting my aunt and uncle, their kids Eliza and Gus, and my good friends Kevin and John who are working in Boston. It's another coincidence that my aunt and uncle who live in Salem aren't actually related to my grandmother-witch, who comes from an apparently impudent Puritan strain on my mother's side.
John, Kevin and I haven't hung out significantly together since we were a trio eating vats of tomato soup and brainstorming screenplays in my kitchen when we were fifteen. I had an awesome weekend seeing them, the whole of which included a cold and buggy beach walk, a crust punk party, my first legal beer (Urban Wheat Ale), and my uber-fascination with walking the streets of Boston and Salem, which are not only loci in my family history but also form a cross-section of events surrounding early American religion and race.
My ancestor-witch? Susannah Martin. Her crimes, according to a book my uncle cracked open, "malefic" (re: devilish) behavior. That is, afflicting people with bites, scratches, and swoons, appearing in the shape of an animal, etc. One description of her trial appears in Cotton Mather's Wonders of the Invisible World. Mather, the most influential figure in American Puritanism, doesn't appear to have thought much of my great-great grandmother. Of "Goody Martin" he wrote, "[she was] one of the most impudent, scurrilous, wicked Creatures in the World."
Susannah was sixty-seven and a widow, living in Amesbury, Mass. and evidently bothering her neighbors there. She was hanged in mid-July, 1692, less than a mile from where my aunt and uncle live in painfully cute yellow house…
Now here's where my nerddom really takes off.
Judge Samuel Sewall, a Boston merchant, orthodox Puritan and Harvard man, was the only magistrate involved in the witch trials to publicly apologize for the convictions. In 1700, eight years after the trials, he also printed the first protest against slavery in New England, one of the earliest anti-slavery essays printed on American shores.
I'm not interested in Sewall just because of my DNA, though that certainly makes early Boston compelling to me. But after stumbling across Sewall's essay, "The Selling of Joseph" last semester, I was reeling with questions about his notions of liberty, race and God.
Surprised by the early date of Judge Sewall's emphatic plea, I realized that it is his hyper-devout Calvinism that leads him to his conclusion about slavery: that it is against God's will because all people are sons and daughters of Adam, saved by the "last Adam" (Christ), and therefore have "equal Right unto Liberty" on earth. While he shows signs of racial prejudice, Sewall reads the story of Jesus to be a story of political liberation. Sewall also shows a penchant for prophecy, not unlike James Cone. And he wasn't just some nut. Scholarship says that Sewall's way of interpreting scripture was coherent with the most orthodox thinkers of the day.
So why did protests to slavery like Judge Sewall's fall out of favor in only a few years, when instead the mindset represented by a slaveholder's vehemently supremacist response become victorious in the mainstream? How did Sewall's piety compel him to issue such a powerful protest for the rights of black slaves to basic liberty, as it also did for him with regard to women's and American Indian rights?
I don't know yet. But I do know that Sewall never read Locke (nor other Enlightenment philosophers), whose social contract would become the gospel for America's decidedly deist founding fathers and documents seventy-six years after he printed his essay. He read sermons and scriptures; he looked for signs in the weather and the sea of the end of the world. He wasn't a "modern man", yet it took until the mid-eighteenth century for Americans to take moral arguments against slavery seriously.
Sewall was radically religious and also radically liberal. He was a privileged, well-educated man yet his vision of the liberating Christ was deeply uncompromised and political. This is why I wonder what liberation theology might be able to recover from his vision today. It's essential to most liberation theologies (black, Latin American, queer, etc) that one take a view of God from the perspective of the oppressed. While maintaining this key piece, how might those who are not oppressed, ones often in positions of political or economic power, feel the same prophetic urgency to their politics?
If Sewall's God is white and Cone's God is black, can Sam and James want the same things? If it's essential to black theology to know the black God and essential to queer theology to know the queer God, how can someone who is black and not queer or queer and not black interpret the Gospel as the breaking down of all categories, all social restrictions and weights, without undermining the particularity of their own experience?
It's all a difficult, amazing puzzle I'm just beginning to unravel.
