Featured Customer Comment
When our Vacation Bible School director told me that she would like to do tie-dye this year, I panicked! I had never done it before. But I know how to use a computer!
I researched and found Dharma Trading Co. Still unsure, I called their customer support (several times!). They were so easy to talk to and convinced me that their dyes were superior and their methods were superior. And let me tell you, they ARE! With their help, the Tie-Dye shirts at VBS were a HUGE hit; even with the adults! The bottle method is so easy, the kit comes with everything you need, and the colors are so vibrant and don't fade or bleed.
I am now hooked on tie-dye and will definitely be ordering again. Don't settle for retail store tie-dye. Buy Dharma's professional dyes. You will be glad you did!
Tie Dye Group Instructions
The Soda Soak Tie-Dye Method is the way to do this. Our recipes, abbreviated group instructions, and a lot of patterns using this method are in the new book, "Tie-dye" (#BTD), which we include in our larger (50/100 shirt) Tie Dye Group Kits.
Basically, you follow the Soda Soak Tie-Dye instructions (also shown below) en-mass. In a nutshell, what you do is fold and tie up the shirts (or whatever), soak them in a solution of soda ash and water for a few minutes, apply a solution of dye, water and urea, let them sit overnight in plastic bags, rinse them, untie them, rinse them some more, and wash them in a washing machine with Synthrapol or Dharma's Professional Textile Detergent and hot water. Thats it! Easy!
The Dharma group kits have all the basics except the clothing, which we carry at very reasonable prices. Dharma white clothing is 100% cotton and tie-dyes beautifully. If having the thread of the garment also dye is important to you, watch for the little cotton plant icon on the clothing ad - if you don't see that icon, it is sewn with Polyester thread, which stays white. If you get your clothing elsewhere, make sure it's not a polyester blend! You'll get a very washed out look.
Other things you may need:
Optional things:
PREPARATION (before the session starts):
It is best to have the tables all set up, covered with plastic, etc. Ideal to set up a table for about 5 to 10 folks to work at once. Each work area should have newspapers, rubber bands, gloves, finger rinsing bowl, paper towels or a sponge, zip-lock baggies for the finished tie dyes if you are using them, and squirt bottles of premixed dye in the selected colors - at least 1 bottle of each color, which can be refilled from jugs of pre-mixed dye as needed when you have lots of folks. It is always best to use freshly made up dye, so you can mix it the morning of the class, or the night before at most. This allows for the brightest possible color. Set up "fixer stations" with buckets of premixed soda ash for soaking the tied shirts before applying the dye. Allow about a gallon of soda ash mix for each 8-10 adult t-shirts - 1 lb of soda ash makes about 2 gallons.
To figure out how much dye solution you will need, figure approximately 4 oz. of liquid mixed dye solution will completely dye one wet adult t-shirt. So 50 adult t-shirts would take 200 oz of dye mix. Divide the total ounces you need by how many colors you are using to determine how many oz. of each color you need to mix. Our recipe is for 8 oz, so use that and multiply it like a cookie recipe to get to the required amount. On a really big scale, you might need a calculator, but for example, 500 adult t-shirts would take 2000 oz, which works out to 15.625 gallons of dye (round up to 16 to be safe). For each gallon of dye mixture, instead of tediously measuring teaspoons, use about 1/2 cup of dye per gallon of water and 1 cup of Urea. 1/2 cup is very roughly 4 oz dry dye by weight, but every color has a different density, so yeild will vary. And of course, double to quadruple the dye for colors with 1 * or 2** by their name. For pastels use less. Also, it never hurts to make extra as everyone applies dye with a different flair. If your design will have more white, then of course, you will use correspondingly less dye. If you are doing little kids shirts, 4 oz might dye 2 or 3, and if you are doing large dresses, well, you get our drift. Don't forget to use a dust mask when mixing all powders!
An example:
Tie-dyeing 50 t-shirts in 3 colors, using 4 "stations" with 12 to 13 students taking turns at each station:
You can demonstrate tyeing to the whole group first, showing them how to tie their garments - then have folks do it at their station while it is fresh in their memory. Then all the shirts (or the first round, if folks are in line and taking turns) can be soaked at the soda ash stations 5-10 min. (Use heavy gloves to get the clothing out of the buckets, and gently press out the extra soda ash solution so they are not all drippy going back to the tables) While the shirts are soaking you can demonstrate how to apply the dye on a pre-tied and soaked garment. Be sure and demonstrate how to get the dye into the folds! Then turn 'em loose! Have them put their tied, soda soaked garments on some newspaper so it soaks up the excess while they are applying the dye. After garments are dyed, lay them all out on newspaper with plastic over the top to keep them damp for the curing process, making sure that shirts don't touch each other, or have each student put their garment in a zip-lock plastic bag. Then, have the students help clean up!
Caution! The soda ash solution is mildly caustic - it can irritate your skin.Wear gloves and eye protection. Rinse off at once to avoid eye and skin irritation.
Fiber reactive dyes attach permanently to cellulose fibers using a covalent (electron-sharing) bond. These molecules carry a "chromophore" which absorb varying spectrums of the light, allowing only certain spectrums to reflect.
Covalent bonding is the one of the most basic and strongest types of chemical reactions. This reaction happens gradually over time depending on temperature and/or the Ph level of the surrounding environment.
The Soda Ash pre-soak raises the pH level of the garment or fabric to approximately 10.5. Raising the pH level of the solution that the fabric or garment is soaked in raises the level of negative hydrogen ions in the dyeing environment. The chemical bonding process uses these ions in the reaction. Pre-soaking in Soda Ash fixer solution is what allows the fiber reactive dyes to work at room temperature.
The reaction can also be aided with heat. Some tie-dyers have had success with using baking soda and microwaving their dyed articles. Since baking soda is a weaker alkali than Soda Ash, it must be accompanied by heat. Some people who are "chemically sensitive" choose to use this method.
The dye is allowed to react in a desirable host environment for up to 24 hours. After this time, the bonding sites on the cellulose should be saturated with dye molecules. Excess dye molecules that have not bonded permanently are washed away using warm water rinse and a dye-carrying detergent like Synthrapol.
RINSING and INITIAL WASH:
This is one of the most important steps to avoid "muddy" tie-dyes. Use gloves! While garment is still tied it needs to be rinsed as much as possible under cold running water (faucet, hose, shower, bathtub), then gradually untied while still rinsing. Get as much dye out as possible this way, then immediately wash with HOT water and Synthrapol or Dharma Professional Textile Detergent (PTD). Synthrapol is a special detergent that helps get the rest of the excess dye out so it won't bleed and run in future washings. Students could bring little jars to take some home in - warning-it can eat through plastic baggies. Remember, good rinsing procedure keeps the clothes from looking "muddy" and colors from running over each other into white areas. You can't skimp on water! Immediate washing with Synthrapol keeps the excess dye that is still left from bleeding onto other colors. Before washing, don't let the dyed clothing touch anything!
Since procion dyes are "fiber reactive", they are very permanent and will not fade or bleed. Bleach or detergents containing bleach should not be used! If the garments have been properly rinsed and washed, they are safe to throw in with the family laundry!

We have been using this dye at our environmental camp for the past two years!! The shirts come out vibrant and have lasted! I have my tie-dye shirt from 2006 and it looks like it did the day I dyed it!! These products are great and the kids just love making their own masterpiece! Be aware that the activity can get messy but their kids!!

Fantastic! I bought this kit to tie dye t-shirts for a special end of the year trip for our early childhood classrooms. It dyed about 75 children's small to large shirts and 5 adult shirts. It was so user friendly even my kids dyed their own shirts. The colors turned out so bright and the children loved them. After rinsing them out we even had to let them dry outside because we didn't have access to a washing machine until later that night. It didn't seem to effect the end product. You have a customer for life!

A funnel or measuring device to get the dye into the bottles in the right amount without spilling it would have been extremely helpful.

I just tie-dyed 50 shirts with a group of inner-city 10-12 year olds at camp. They loved it!!! We weren't sure how far the dyes would go so we kept telling the kids not to over-drench the shirts in dye or the colors would turn muddy. False! The shirts that looked like they would turn out brown actually turned out fantastic. The colors were clear and bright. These dyes are great!!! (We had half the dye left over.) Everyone was very excited.We did the shirts in a two-step process. The kids did all the tying one day at camp and placed their shirt in its own labeled gallon ziplock bag. The day before tie-dying I soaked all the shirts at my house (making sure each shirt went back in the correct bag) and mixed the dyes. The next day the kids tie-dyed the shirts at camp and put them back in the zip locks for 24 hours. I did all the rinsing final washing and drying at my house. There wasn't a bad shirt in the bunch! I wish we'd had more shirts to dye since we ended up throwing away half the dye. This is a really fun thing to do!!!

I was in charge of a church girl's camp. We decided to tie-dye camp t-shirts. None of the adults had ever tie-dyed before and we were all nervous to lead a group of 24 energetic girls. We called customer service several times and received simple straight-forward and encouraging tips from a live person who has tie-dyed several times. The tie-dyeing went smoother than we anticipated. The shirts and backpacks turned out beautifully! Very vibrant and bright. The girls were so proud to wear them! We wore them to Zion's National Park during our camp and received many compliments. Thank you so much! I will order from you again!

About This Reel
High speed, high power, high line capacity and low profile. The Shimano Curado 300E blends all of these qualities into one reel. The Curado 300E delivers large reel performance in a comfortable low profile reel.
The 300E is only slightly larger than the Curado 200 reel. Shimano has made use of a low profile style frame and widened the base of the reel to accommodate the deeper and wider spool. The higher line capacity of the 300E allows an angler to make longer casts with heavier lines or braid and gives an angler the ability to handle the long runs of larger fish. The High Efficiency Gearing on the Curado 300 provides fish fighting power, a high speed gear ratio and extra torque for all day chucking and winding. All the features of the HEG system are made possible by the oversized drive and pinion gears. Shimano also made sure that the drag system on the Curado 300 matched it's other design traits. The Dartanium Drag on the Curado 300 provides a wide range of settings and generates 15 pounds of fish fighting drag.
We have two videos from, "The Hunt For Big Fish" with Mr. Dahlberg fishing for Red Fish in Louisiana and Sailfish in Guatemala.

Comments: Great real I love it I have it on a st.croix rod the mojo bass 1-4oz lures it's made for big baits like what I throw. This real is in my opinion the best heavy hitter reels by far I throw a 2 1/2oz bbz rat all day longer the rod is awesome it doesn't look strong but once again st. croix has impressed me again this curado was paired up great for targeting bigger fish.
From: Derek: MA 6/17/16
Comments: New to Swimbait and A-Rig fishing I bought this because I have had Shimano reels in the past. The reel is bigger than a normal reel, however not overwhelming. It is comfortable to fish big baits all day. I paired it with the Dobyns Swimbait "fury" rod. I figured I could upgrade the rod if I like swimbaits down the road. This combination works well for me. Enjoy.
From: Ben: Pasadena, CA 3/26/16
Comments: get it. Plain and simple. It's smooth as butter. Nice sized knobs and holds a ton of line. Plain Jane six pin brakes. Nothing fancy this is just a plain old fashioned good piece of equipment that will last the long haul. Love mine

From: Chris: St. George, UT
Comments: Recently took one of these to tackle the salmon in the South Island rivers of New Zealand. With twenty pound braid and a 22g - 28g spinner, long accurate casting was a joy. Under pressure this reel never faltered. The drag/clutch was as smooth as you could want and worked a treat. It created a real feel of confidence when handling big fish.
From: Ray: Melbourne, Australia
Comments: my favorite casting reel for our big Pelagics and Barramundi.
From:Jack: Darwin, N.T. Australia

Testing Sites
HIV Testing Sites
For the location of HIV testing sites in your area, click one of the links below. You do not have to be tested at the location nearest to your home. Some testing centers offer anonymous testing. Other places have confidential testing.
WV Bureau for Public Health HIV/AIDS & STD program
- HIV is the virus that causes AIDS. It lives in blood, semen, vaginal fluids and breast milk.
- To get HIV, one of these infected fluids has to get inside your body.
- People with HIV can look and feel healthy for a long time.
- Even if he or she looks and feels well, a person can have HIV and pass the virus to others.
- Many "healthy looking" people have HIV and don't even know they have it.
The HIV test
- You can get tested at a doctor's office, a public health clinic, a family planning clinic, or an HIV testing center.
- Some places offer free testing.
- Some charge up to $100.HIV usually takes up to three months to show up on a test.
What are the reasons to get tested?
- You are worried that you may have HIV
- You are thinking about having sex with a new partner, and you want to be sure that neither of you has HIV
- You are pregnant, or thinking about getting pregnant, and want to know if the baby has a chance of getting HIV
- You are thinking about joining a group that requires testing, such as the Job Corps or military.
Are you at risk?
If you can answer yes to either of these questions, you are at risk for HIV, and may want to be tested:
- Have I ever had sex without using a latex condom?
- Have I ever shared needles to inject drugs, vitamins or steroids, for body piercing or tattooing?
What happens during the test?
Before the test, a counselor may talk with you. He or she will explain the test, and what you can do to keep yourself healthy. A health worker will take a little blood from your arm, use a cotton swab to rub some cells from the inside of your mouth, or ask for a urine sample. The sample will be sent to a lab. Results can take about two weeks. You will return to the test site to get your results.
Test results
A negative test result means either you don't have HIV, or you have HIV, but it's too soon for the test to show it.
(If you had unsafe sex or shared needles in the three to six months before your test, it may be too soon to get an accurate result. You need to be tested again.)
A negative test does not mean you can't get HIV in the future. You can get HIV anytime you have unsafe sex or share needles for any reason.
A positive test result means you have HIV. If your test is positive, two things are very important:
See a health care provider right away. Early treatment can help you stay healthy longer.
Find support. Friends, family, and/or an AIDS/HIV support group will help you live healthy with HIV.

Topic: Killing process via Capistrano
Lets say I've got multiple java apps running on my app server, and I want to kill only the one defined as 'application' in my deployment recipe. I send a cmd block like this:
ps auxww | grep java | grep -i #{application} | awk '{print $2}' |xargs kill -9
The statement does what it was written to do, the application is killed successfully. But here is the kicker: Capistrano reports that the command failed... even though it did NOT fail. I don't know what the command is returning, but capistrano doesn't like it.
Here's an example output from capistrano
[root@foobar foo_service]# RAILS_ENV=qa TARGET_BRANCH=trunk cap stop_foo_service
* executing task stop_foo_service
* executing "ps auxww | grep java | grep -i fooservice | awk '{print $2}' |xargs kill -9"
servers: ["app1.company.local"]
[qaurapp1.jobster.local] executing command
command finished
command "ps auxww | grep java | grep -i fooservice | awk '{print $2}' |xargs kill -9" failed on app1.company.local
Anyone know how to get around this? What is the kill command returning that capistrano think is a fail? I can't include it in any transactional tasks, like deploying, cause cap will fail it.

Symantec Corp. on Thursday announced it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire privately-held Clearwell Systems, recognized player in the eDiscovery market. The acquisition of Clearwell will bring together the eDiscovery, archiving and backup offerings to provide customers one of the most comprehensive information management solutions available.
Under the terms of the agreement, Symantec will acquire Clearwell for a purchase price of approximately $390 million, net of Clearwell's existing cash balance of approximately $20 million. The agreement is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approval, and is expected to close in the September quarter.
Clearwell's eDiscovery solution complements and enhances Symantec's Enterprise Vault eDiscovery capabilities to create a more complete end-to-end eDiscovery solution. The existing integration of Enterprise Vault with the Clearwell eDiscovery Platform positions Symantec to quickly help IT and legal users streamline and reduce the cost, time and risk of eDiscovery across the most relevant information sources including email, desktops, file servers, backups and the cloud.
This acquisition will expand Symantec's addressable market opportunity and will position the company as a leader in the fast-growing eDiscovery software market, which, according to Gartner, is growing at a compounded annual growth rate of 14 percent and is estimated to reach $1.7 billion by 20141. In addition, this acquisition is expected to provide future cross-sell and product integration synergies across Symantec backup and security, by leveraging Symantec NetBackup, Data Loss Prevention and Data Insight.
"Archiving and eDiscovery are two critical elements of information governance," said Aaref Hilaly, president and chief executive officer, Clearwell Systems. "By joining forces and combining the industry's leading archiving solution with the industry's leading eDiscovery solution, we will be uniquely positioned to deliver a seamless, integrated information governance workflow, benefitting both Symantec and Clearwell customers."
Organizations are being required to adopt more formal information governance processes to help reduce the costs and risks associated with legal discovery. According to Gartner, through 2012, companies without an information governance strategy and technology for content archiving solutions, will spend a third more on eDiscovery than those with content archiving solutions.2 Together Symantec and Clearwell are positioned to offer customers the ability to both proactively and reactively manage and discover their information with increased speed, efficiency and scale, both on-premise and in the cloud, while at the same time helping customers reduce costs and risks.
Symantec expects this transaction to be one-and-a-half cents dilutive to non-GAAP earnings per share in fiscal year 2012. The transaction is expected to be accretive starting in fiscal year 2013.

I've had the opportunity to attend some graduation activities of our graduating Girl Scouts. What a treat! Every graduate is an accomplished individual beyond their activities in Girl Scouts, and we wish them the best in the next part of their Journey through life.
For many of you, this is the time of year when you are trying to adjust to a somewhat different schedule. Hopefully, lots more outdoor activities, trying new things, and some leisure time that you just don't have the opportunity for during the school year.
I know many of you suspend troop meetings during the summer so you don't have to hassle with coordinating vacation schedules, people moving in different directions, and summer fun. I want to thank you for all you do for girls. This has been a good year in many ways and one that has held its challenges. I'm sure you can resonate with that. We cannot do this work without you. I know there are days when it is frustrating, but I hope the moments with the girls when they gain an insight makes all that worthwhile.
We have had service units give scholarships to their graduates recently. We had another troop that is graduating give their remaining troop funds to fund a camp scholarship in honor one of their deceased troop members. I hear about great summer events that troops are doing some exciting events with their troop proceeds.
I reached an age milestone recently with my birthday, and it is closer to retirement than it is my youth at this point. I still look back on my Girl Scout experiences with fondness and pleasure. I remember the women who were part of that experience -- the leaders who taught life skills I still use today. They were role models. I hope you know you serve that role to the girls you work with. Every day I hear examples of great leadership on your part. Those might seem insignificant, but never underestimate what small thing will change a girl's life and be that one moment that makes a difference in her life.
Thank you for your hours of work, patience, planning, and contribution to make the world a better place. You are special! I'm hoping it is a great summer.

I'd be well up for getting together with anyone who wants to explore the " Waste " or " Wasted " through one art form or another. Myself and a few friends are messing around with this at the moment through writing, drawing, collaging and music. We'd love to meet you. Especially if you have software that is good for making posters with..
I like using waste fliers, paper and advertising materials to make things right now. I like the idea of using all of Edinburgh's waste fliers, posters etc. to turn into useful art of some kind. I like the idea of putting posters or art things up in town where club posters usually go in order to send a message to the public to say " Hey! Why do people only ever advertise commercial things? Why not advertise important concepts? " Using waste fliers to make arty stuff could be a good way of advertising environmental issues in a more subtle way to the usual magazines and pamphlets. One basic thing we could do is advertise the telephone no. that you call that stops you getting all the junk mail.
Maybe we could use the back wall opposite the re-cycling space as a place to experiment with ideas. I spoke to Marcin from Total Kunst ( the Folk who decide what goes in the gallery or on display in the forest ) about the idea a while ago and he said it was cool to re-decorate downstairs.

Mashed Potatoes
- 2 pounds russet potatoes (about 4 medium), whole, scrubbed
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more as needed
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- Freshly grated nutmeg (optional)
- Freshly ground black or white pepper
- For Variations:
- Add:
In a large saucepan, combine the potatoes, 1 teaspoon salt, and enough cold water to cover. Bring to a boil over high heat. Do not cover. Lower the heat to maintain a simmer and cook until fork tender, about 45 minutes.
Drain the potatoes and return them to the pan. Swirl the pan over medium heat until the skins are dry, about 1 minute. Halve the potatoes crosswise. Put the halves in a ricer cut-side down and press the potato through the ricer into a bowl. The flesh should easily pass through the holes and the skins remain in the ricer. Discard the skin, and repeat with the remaining potatoes. (Alternatively, peel the cooked potatoes and put through a food mill or mash with a hand-held potato masher.)
Heat the butter and milk in the saucepan over medium-high heat until hot but not boiling. Add the nutmeg, if desired, stir into the potatoes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Serve immediately.

Roasted garlic
Chopped fresh herbs
Prepared pesto

What an Hour!
The excellent profile of Dr. Otto Piper [summer/fall
2001] brought to mind instantly a high point of my years at Princeton. It happened when our exegesis class studied Matthew 16, the well-known passage: "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." Dr. Otto Piper opened the class with prayer and then in that quiet voice we all remember so well, he said, "Gentlemen, today I suggest that you close your notebooks."
What an hour! With his great scholarship he proceeded to "open the Scripture." Yet more. He shared with us the accumulated wisdom of his many years and his personal faith and understanding of the Christ. That hour affected my theology and my personal faith in the Christ until this day. And it sealed my devotion to a beloved professor.

More Praise for Dr. Piper
Thanks so much for your article on Otto Piper in your summer/fall 2001 issue of
inSpire. It brought back wonderful memories of having taken one of the last courses he taught on the book of Isaiah. I clearly remember him arriving at every class session with a Bible in one hand and a copy of the
Times in the other. He would often begin class reading a passage from Isaiah and then one from the
Times. I wish more of our pastors would at least figuratively follow this practice in the pulpit.

Classic Coverage
I would like to thank you for an outstanding job [in the winter
issue] on September 11 coverage. It could well be a classic coverage for the response of the Presbyterian Church, pastors, and the world community. A job very well done.

The Finest Issue Ever
Thank you for what is perhaps the finest edition of
inSpire ever [winter 2002]. The excellent articles by
Diogenes Allen [pages 10–11] and
Paul Rorem [pages 12–13] are timely and to a greatly needed point in today's climate of commercialized "spirituality." "Windows on a Shattered World" [pages 20–26] shares in a deeply meaningful way some of the responses to the events of September 11 and following. This issue gives me pride in PTS.

Modern Martyrs
I want to express appreciation to you for "Given in Love" [winter 2002, page 29], regarding the Princeton Seminary martyrs. Your mention of the 300 Korean Presbyterian pastors who met violent deaths was very important to place alongside that of the American citizens who gave their lives. I have heard it said that the 20th century witnessed more martyrs than any of the other centuries since Christ.
The tribute to James Reeb by Martin Luther King Jr. [pages 28–29] was very appropriate. We thank God for men like him.

Esther's Story Revised?
The scenario of events at the PTS chapel service with the Muslim imam provides an interesting revision of the Esther story from which the title of the article
[winter 2002] is taken. Haman has covertly convinced the king to execute the Jews. The Jews respond with fasting and mourning. Mordecai appears at the palace gate in sackcloth and ashes. Esther dispatches a new suit of clothes to him and convinces him to dress like the other Babylonians. He does so. He tells Esther of the death threat and suggests that she approach the king. Esther responds by saying, "As queen it would not be proper to break a law, and besides, their God was the same as a Babylonian God. Further, having come 'to royal dignity' provides an opportunity for me to help my people blend in with the rest."

A Response from England
We were all here greatly shocked by the events of September 11. It must have been difficult for you with the theme of spirituality in prospect for
inSpire. I thought the issue was very well done and will help us here to understand something of the reactions to such an act of terror.
I think both students and all citizens need more education in the beliefs of others—and there are small groups of fanatics in all faiths. I find a great lack of knowledge among church members not only of Islam but also of Hinduism, Sikhism, and Buddhism. This despite the fact that we rub shoulders with members of these faiths daily.
I was also interested in the story on the lectures given by my friend J. Wentzel van Huyssteen with John
Polkinghorne. I did not know that the latter had been knighted. He does deserve such recognition.
May God bless you all at this serious time.

Welcome Dialogue without Forgetting Faith
In reading the article "For Such a Time As This" [winter 2002, page 18], I was impressed with the imam's decision to leave the Bible on the pulpit, but deeply distressed by Dr. Young's willingness to remove it so that he would not offend the visiting guest. I am distressed because in a number of other ecumenical encounters in which I participated the Christian Reformed position was so diluted it was hardly recognizable.
A short time ago, a petition was circulated in our county for ministers to sign so that a mosque could be built nearby. I agreed to sign it and then asked if the Saudi imam would be willing to travel with me so that we could get a similar petition for a church in Saudi Arabia. The Christian pastor who circulated the petition considered my idea preposterous.
I welcome dialogue, but I pray we will remember that we represent the Christian faith and that our brothers and sisters living in countries where Muslims are in the majority have not experienced the Islamic gentility that Imam Chebli described.

Our Lost Saints
Many thanks for the good piece on Jim Reeb and the abridged version of Martin Luther King Jr.'s eulogy for Jim [winter
Jim Reeb was a real mentor as well as a warm and gentle spirit for those of us PTS students who had the Saturday privilege of traveling to Philadelphia for a year of clinical pastoral education at Philadelphia General Hospital where Jim was the chaplain. I daresay it was one of the best experiences of our seminary years.
Even then, Jim Reeb was in a struggle for both a deeper faith and a more relevant faith, hence his migration to the Unitarians and then the Quakers. He had a quiet understanding of and identification with those suffering injustice and as I recall found our own Presbyterian family at that time not open enough or responsive to the emerging opportunities and social upheaval. It seems like only yesterday that we so quickly learned of his death from a baseball bat over the head.
I remember also his wife, Marie, and their children, like him engaged in and committed to the ministry of Roxbury. Though we remember Jim with considerable gratitude and affection, I have often wondered what became of his family—for they also, like the families of September 11, paid a high price and stand as heroes rarely counted when we are in the business of recalling our institutional saints. Indeed, how much "we are bound together in the bundle of life."

Editor's note: An audiotape of Martin Luther King Jr.'s eulogy for James Reeb was only rediscovered last year—through research by the Unitarian Universalist Association. We were especially pleased to share this eulogy with our readers because the winter 2002 issue of
inSpire was just the second time it has appeared in print. We also received other notes of gratitude for printing it.
Correction—winter 2002
The credit line for Thich Nhat Hanh's poem "For Warmth" was inadvertently omitted from page 25 of the winter 2002 issue. The poem was reprinted from
Call Me by My True Names: The Collected Poems of Thich Nhat Hanh (1999) by Thich Nhat
Hanh, with permission of Parallax Press, Berkeley, California.

Our mouthwateringly good menu, featured this week on The Today Show, will leave the whole family full and happy.
It's a rite of passage on Father's Day�grilling with dad. To kids whose eyes barely reach above the grill grate, the opportunity to stand so perilously close to the action on their pops' big day feels giddily "big-kid." Dads aren't just flipping burgers or searing ribs, from kids' perspectives, they are the pied pipers of dancing flames, the tamers of smoky hellfire and the courageous warriors of weekend meals. And so, for such a day and for such a warrior, a menu of equal valor is only appropriate. The following Father's Day recipes are some of our very favorites�none are too complicated or involved, and best of all, these eats can be easily prepared with the help of a little sidekick (or a few!). Check them out below and follow our subsequent tips on how to keep kids�involved�and safe throughout the prep. Green Salad with Grilled Apple Make this salad with a sweet honey, apple dressing the first order of business. The only ingredient here in need of grilling is the crunchy apple slices (which can be easily done alongside our steak fries). To keep everyone safe, before the grill gets fired up, mark the area around the grill and tell kids they must not enter until Dad calls for their help (sidekicks only come to the rescue during perilous times after all). Put young kids in charge of plucking grapes and tossing greens. Sweet and Savory Sweet Potato Steak Fries When preparing this timeless side, potatoes can be tough to cut, so have older kids or an adult do the slicing. Once sliced, let younger kids use their hands to toss the sticks with the brown-sugar-spiced seasoning in a large bowl. Leave the placing and tossing of the fries on the grill to Dad. BBQ Ribs Ahh here's the main event. Sticky, sweet ribs. Kids will get a total kick out of them because they are prepared with a soda-spiked root beer marinade. The grill work is fast (about 5�minuets the ribs are baked beforehand) allowing Dad to show the kids how to grill without losing their attention span or his patience. Fresh Strawberry Granita Our only menu item not singed by the grill, this cool, fresh summertime dessert takes just four ingredients and should be prepared ahead of time. When serving time approaches, pop it out of the freezer and have the kids scrape the granita into shaved ice with the aid of a fork. And keep in mind, you can make granita in a variety of flavors:�citrus granita�and�blueberry granita�are also favorites.

Saturday, May 19, 2012 - Badminton World Federation | Badminton Photo
First out of the blocks at the 2012 Citroen BWF Thomas and Uber Cups Finals was none other than hosts, Wuhan, who staged a spectacular Opening Ceremony for the prestigious biennial event, reinstating why they are the deserving hosts.
The vibrant fanfare was attended by distinguished guests from the local Chinese authorities, Chinese Badminton Association and the Local Organising Committee, BWF representatives including deputy president Paisan Rangsikitpho, event sponsors, players, coaching staff, members of the media and invited public guests.
Held at the Wuhan Sports Center Natatorium, flag bearers of each participating nation graced the beautiful pool-side stage that was lit-up by giant LCD screens. A total of 16 nations will be represented in Wuhan, all having qualified through their Continental tournament earlier this year.
Nominated by their respective team managers, the majority of the flag bearers are young role models of each nation such as Lee Yong-dae (South Korea), Du Pengyu (China, pictured right), Porntip Buranaprasertsuk (Thailand), Selena Piek (Netherlands) and Tai Tzu-ying (Chinese Taipei).
China's Yu Yang (pictured left), who is the only player in the Chinese teams to have won two Olympic medals (gold and bronze at Beijing 2008), was nominated by the hosts to take the athletes oath during the Opening Ceremony.
The 60-minute eye-feast also included a concoction of Chinese cultural performances from Wushu (Chinese martial arts) to Chinese traditional dances, and the highlight has to be the Chinese acrobatic performance, which is also a Wuhan 'specialty' (pictured bottom right).
'We are extremely pleased to see the great lengths the hosts have gone to stage such a splendid Opening Ceremony for our guests and especially for all players and teams who have worked hard to be present and compete in this Thomas and Uber Cup Finals', said Paisan Rangsikitpho.
'An Opening Ceremony of this grandeur definitely serves to complement the BWF's aspirations to continuously raise the bar and quality of the presentation of our major events and Superseries', he added. 'These are the things that will generate public and commercial awareness for the sport and we want to congratulate Wuhan for their great efforts.'
The 2012 Citroen BWF Thomas and Uber Cup Finals start on 20 May, 2012.
Live Streaming of the event is available from 20 May on BadmintonWorld.TV for countries where TV broadcasting of the event is not available.
Follow BWF on twitter for live results from the event, and go to our facebook for more photos of the Opening Ceremony here.

Skip to comments.Sarah Palin: SUPPORT TROOPATHON (LIVE! From Nixon Library #24 link)
Posted on 06/27/2013 11:42:58 AM PDT by onyx
The annual Troopathon event is broadcasting live today from the Nixon Library in Yorba Linda, California. Today, Im in a remote area in Alaska (in Illiamna in Bristol Bay) and heading back in Todds float plane to do an interview for Hannitys show on Fox in a few hours from our house. But Im with friends at Troopathon in spirit from the far North and offer my support to this worthy cause.
Troopathon is a wonderful way to show support for our brave men and women in uniform by sending care packages to our troops in combat zones. Theyre willing to make the ultimate sacrifice for us. So Troopathon is the very least a grateful nation can do for them. This is just one small way for us to show them the love and appreciation they deserve.
All it takes is a simple care package with a personalized note of thanks to show them that they arent forgotten. Imagine if you were deployed halfway around the world, not having seen your parents, husband, wife, son or daughter in months. Youre tired, sweaty, and probably somewhat lonely. And then out of the blue you are handed a care package with a sincere note of appreciation from an American back home. What a difference that little gesture makes!
Please tune in today from 1-8pm to watch Troopathon (watch online at breitbart.com).
You can find out how to send a care package by going to troopathon.org or calling 866-866-6372.
Lets show our brave troops the generous heart of a grateful nation.
- Sarah Palin

Coming back on live now!
Didja hear those girls sing? They were fantastic!
Hope you're all there by now, Sweetie Pie.
Thanks so much for posting the link, Syncro!
Sarah and Hannity on at the top of the hour.
God bless our brave troops.
Jim should be here any minute.
Hay "all," here's a thread from the other day:

EYP Salutes 40 of Rochester's young professionals
On behalf of the Eastman Young Professionals, congratulations to the 2010 "Forty Under 40″ honorees. Forty of Rochester's young professionals were honored today, November 18th, at the Rochester Riverside Convention Center for their professional and civic accomplishments. A crowd of 900 people were on hand to show their support.
Non-profit, corporate, and government professionals make up this year's class. Even more impressive are the roles they have in the community. They sit on non-profit boards, chair fundraisers, coach youth sports, and teach university classes as adjunct professors. And let's not forget about the time they devote to their family and friends!
As a member of Eastman Young Professionals, it's hard not to mention George Eastman. Eastman was a young professional in his day. Having to support his family at a very young age, he dropped out of school and began working before the age of 20. He later went on to found Eastman Kodak Co. Early on, Eastman believed in giving back. He gave back by donating his time and money to the community that gave so much to him. He wanted to make Rochester the "greatest city in the world to live and work."
I think it's safe to say that Mr. Eastman would be proud of today's honorees, all of whom are doing their part in making Rochester a better place.
A special congratulations goes out to one of this year's honorees, Kate Turner, marketing manager at Genesee Regional Bank. Kate is also president of Eastman Young Professionals. Her leadership and enthusiasm for "all things Eastman House" has empowered several Eastman Young Professionals to support the museum in a variety of different ways.
Congrats, Kate!
By Katie Baldwin
Eastman Young Professionals (EYP):
Be sure to check out our Blog page for upcoming events and group information at http://blogs.democratandchronicle.com/yp1/. Or for more information on how to get involved with the Eastman Young Professionals, please contact us at email@example.com, or find us on Facebook. Thank you.

Snacking, LHJ Style
Staff Snacking
Here in the LHJ offices, we are an army of snackers. My seat directly next to our communal snack basket confirms this – in the hours just before lunch and sometime after 3pm, when blood sugar levels begin to fall, LHJ staffers (see them in action, to the right) start wandering over to inspect the various bags, tins and boxes on offer. Between product samples, frequent test kitchen recipe results, and generous foodie staff members, we're lucky to have a pretty bottomless supply of treats.
Although folks around the office are flexible and gracious with regard to our snack situation, it's not overly difficult to gauge the real winners – a select few snacks manage to cause a feeding frenzy of sorts, disappearing almost as quickly as they arrive. Over the last couple of weeks, the following treats have been some of our absolute favorites:
Amy's Gluten Free Shortbread
During a recent snack tasting, these were a sleeper standout. LHJ Creative Director Jeffrey Saks and Editor-in-Chief Sally Lee remarked on the buttery goodness these gluten-free treats, made with a hefty dose of organic almond flour. One (or three!) of these would be the perfect mate to a cup of tea. Use Amy's online store-finder to find cookies at a grocery store near you.

- 1 bundle fresh thyme
- 1 pound red bliss potatoes, quartered
- 1/2 bunch fresh chives, finely chopped, for garnish
- Crusty bread, for serving
DirectionsWatch how to make this recipe.
For the marinade: Combine the garlic, bay leaves, carrots, celery, onions and wine in a large bowl or container. Add the beef; cover and let sit in the refrigerator at least 4 hours or overnight. (This is a really important step: it makes a huge flavor difference.)
For the stew: Remove the beef from the marinade. Strain the veggies and bay leaves from the marinade and discard. Reserve 2 cups of the marinade.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Coat a large, wide pan or Dutch oven with olive oil and bring to medium-high heat. Sprinkle the beef with salt and toss with the flour; do not flour the beef until you're ready to brown it. Add the flour-coated beef to the hot pan, but be sure to not crowd the pan; you will need to work in four batches. Brown the meat well on all sides, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from the pan to a baking sheet.
After the first two batches, deglaze the pot with 1/2 cup of the reserved marinade, scraping up any browned bits. Drain the liquid into a small bowl. Add more olive oil to the pan to coat and cook the remaining two batches of meat. Add the meat to the baking sheet. Deglaze the pan with 1/2 cup marinade, scraping up any browned bits.
Add the bacon and cook until it gets brown and crispy, about 5 minutes. Toss in the mushrooms, carrots, celery, garlic and onions, and season with salt. Cook until the mixture starts to soften and becomes very aromatic, about 10 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the remaining 1 cup marinade and deglaze the pan, stirring up any browned bits, 1 minute. Add the beef. Stir to combine and cook until the wine has reduced by half, 1 to 2 minutes. Add enough of the beef stock to just cover the surface of the beef. Toss in the bay leaves and thyme bundle. Cover the pan, bring the liquid to a boil and put in the oven.
Cook the beef for 2 hours. During the last hour of cooking time, add the potatoes. Cover the pan with the lid and put the stew back in the oven to cook for an additional hour.
Remove the pot from the oven and skim off any excess grease from the surface of the stew. Garnish with the chives and serve with crusty bread to sop up all the sauce.

Apple Leather Care Leather Conditioner 8oz Bottle
Conditions, cleans, and protects smooth leather all in one. Protects against stains such as perspiration, body oil, wine and grease. Environmentally safe - no harmful CFCs. Dries quickly - will not leave residue or change the color or texture. Minimize color rub-off on suede
Had a pair of relatively new nice leather-silk lined gloves which I accidentally ran through both washer and dryer. I thought they would be totally ruined. I put them on (fit very tight) and put the Apple leather care conditioner in the palm and massaged in just like you would hand lotion on your hands. The gloves just soaked it up. I did this at least 6-8 times and the gloves returned to a very good condition. I periodically condition them as above. I love this stuff.
I use this product on my Balenciaga Purse. This product make my purse alive. I also put this on any other leather product to prevent dry or cracking.
I also put this on my Ugg classic tall bomber jacket leather. I bought more than 50 bottles of apple leather care already. Trust me, This is just treat your leather goodies like a good lotion treat your skin. :)

the sister's last name. Did she marry another Fecht or was she single?ReplyDelete

His deceased sister Annie Fetch kept her maiden name and had 6 sons and I presume 2 now married daughters who used the Fetch name as well. Wonder how that came about??ReplyDelete
-Bob Barnes.
- AnonymousApril 11, 2011 at 6:10 PM
Annie probably married a cousin, but I like saying her name out-loud. What is the one guys name Roll? Koll?ReplyDelete
The one heir's name is "Roll" or sometimes "Rolf," but he's called Roll throughout the estate records here.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousApril 11, 2011 at 6:20 PM
Wow they had to shorten Rolf to Roll??ReplyDelete
Minka is feminine in nature his name is Mimke also wonder who the HULS are since I tracking them. They used Minka in both places..ReplyDelete
They wrote Minka, but his name is actually Mimka or Mimke. It is a low-German male first name.ReplyDelete
To keep this relatively short:ReplyDelete
The mother of these siblings was married twice. With her first husband, John Huls, she had children John Huls, Tena Knowles, and Annie Fecht. She then married John Fecht and had the Fecht boys with him, including George J., Lubbie, Mimke, Roll. Annie Fecht was married to George H. Fecht, from a different Fecht family (you'd have to go back to the 1700s to connect the families).

Business Issue:
DATAFIRST designs and deploys enterprise resource planning (ERP) solutions for car dealers. For lead generation, the company relied on a once yearly road show and traditional direct mail campaigns sent to lists exported from its accounting system. To boost sales, DATAFIRST established three objectives: acquire new customers and increase market share, increase upselling to current customers, and launch value added SaaS products such as dealer CRM and branded websites. To achieve this, the company knew it needed a CRM system.
- Strong feature set
- Ease of integration and customization
- Straight forward implementation
- Choice of on-premise or cloud deployment
The Solution: Sugar Professional
In addition to Sugar, DATAFIRST considered Salesforce, Sage CRM, and the CRM module of its Exact accounting system. The company chose Sugar for its feature set, ease of implementation, and the option to deploy either on premise or in the cloud. The company also engaged Sugar gold-level partner Synolia. Synolia integrated Sugar with Exact and the company's website, made additional customizations, and trained the DATAFIRST sales force.
Business Benefits:
- Coordinates all sales and marketing activities for DATAFIRST
- Supports email campaigns and a monthly newsletter to approximately 5,000 recipients
- Enables sales reps to see company products individual dealers own
- Increases upsell opportunities
- Improved lead generation 200 percent in only five months
- Reduced upsell sales cycle from twelve months to four

The Ontario Biodiversity Council (OBC), in conjunction with the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources, released its State of Ontario's Biodiversity 2010 report last week, comprised of 29 indicators that provide the most comprehensive overview to date of the province's natural environment and the pressures that must be addressed for what?.
More than one-third of the indicators in the Council's report establish baselines of information for the first time, providing a reliable way to measure progress in the future. One of these indicators is the Ecological Footprint, which indicates pressure on biodiversity by measuring human demand on ecosystems.
In 2005, Ontario's Ecological Footprint was 8.4 global hectares per person, one of the largest in the world on a per capita basis, the report states. However, the ability of Ontario's biological resources to support these demands is limited. On a per capita basis, Ontario has much less biocapacity available than Canada overall, though its biocapacity equals its Ecological Footprint on a per capita basis
"To the extent human pressure exceeds what nature can renew or takes land out of use altogether by paving it over, biodiversity will face continued threats," said Global Footprint Network Applications Manager Meredith Stechbart.
In 2005, Ontario released a biodiversity strategy, which laid out a series of recommendations on improving the protection of the province's natural wealth. The creation of the Ontario Biodiversity Council fulfilled a recommendation of the Strategy.
"The work of the Ontario Biodiversity Council shows that the government has taken significant steps to address the goals of the biodiversity strategy," said Linda Jeffrey, Minister of Natural Resources. "Measuring and documenting our biodiversity will enable Ontarians to make informed conservation and planning decisions."
"This report shows where the threats to Ontario's biodiversity are," says Jon Grant, Chair of the Ontario Biodiversity Council. "We now have a clear picture of where we need to concentrate more efforts and where more research is required. We may not like all of the findings of the report, but we can certainly use the knowledge we've gained to strengthen Ontario's conservation agenda."

Why we love Chautauqua County
On Tuesday, Jan. 29 our committee (still without a name) met in the Village Hall in Fredonia. Mayor Keefe has been very hospitable and helpful to the committee.
This meeting was very special because we had two guests who provided us with a lot of information and encouragement!
Our first guest was Joseph Pisoni, who is a member of the Local Economic Development Committee. He has been encouraged by the writeups I've been doing in my column because we are on the same page.
He quoted from an article written by Jack Hope in 1983 in the "Cream of the Country" magazine. It said that among the ten best areas in northern America in which to pursue a rural lifestyle was Chautauqua County! We couldn't agree more.
What our committee is going to do is expose all the hidden treasures of Chautauqua County. We will show what he have to offer; then we have to pick our targets and do them the favor of showing them how they can have the best vacation of their lives. It will be affordable and unforgettable!
How are we going to reach these people? One, with newspaper writeups and advertising. Two, writing letters to our families and friends, urging them to start planning their vacations now. Three, urge graduating classes in all of the county high schools to have class reunions. Four, since SUNY is so big, we'll give them one independent line. Don't forget the baby boomers! Five, would you be willing to talk at organizations? Six, would you be willing to talk on radio shows? We're just warming up. Get excited! Get involved!
Our second guest was Dr. David Bryant. He and Dr. Brenda Hayes have written a book called "What Is So Great About Chautauqua County?"
They interviewed 70 people who have either returned to Chautauqua County or chose it for their new home. They say the advent/broadband communication and a reasonable cost of living contributed to the case of transition. Newcomers have evaluated their lifestyle options and decided to live in a small town, rural environment, rather than a metropolitan setting. They also like the idea that there are five major cities within a one- to three-hour drive if they want occasional city life.
When asked why they moved here, these were the most common themes: a more meaningful, deep satisfaction with relationships with family, friends and community; more friends in rural life than in city life; Chautauqua County feels like home; it is a great place to raise a family; and families are closer to parents and grandparents. Another big plus to rural life is that it is so much easier to get involved with the community. There are so many opportunities to make a difference, like with beach clean-ups, literacy volunteer opportunities, and promoting environmental concerns and green energy. In a small town, you get back what you put in. These are all evaluations of newcomers. Thank you for opening our eyes to these things!
Seventy-five percent of the people interviewed almost immediately mentioned the friendliness of the people here. People help each other and watch out for each other.
Over half of the people interviewed said this is a less stressful place to live than elsewhere. There is less traffic and less crime. People value relationships more. This is the real America, where money does not define us. This is better for the children.
These newcomers also noticed a tolerance of different lifestyles here. For example, the Amish population, residents of Lily Dale, and those who home school their children all get along.
There's so much more to their research. If you contact Dr. Bryant and Dr. Hayes, maybe they can tell you more. If not, I'll ask permission to write more.
Two other items on our agenda were to find a name for our organization and to decide on a regular time for our meetings.
We decided to run a contest for the name of our committee. We'll come up with a prize. But we have a problem. I don't have a computer, but if you call me at 679-4772 I'll take your entry and we'll announce the winner later in the month.
We have settled on a time for our meetings. They will be the first Thursday of every month at 6 p.m. at the Fredonia Village Hall. Come and join us. The February meeting will be Thursday, Feb. 7.

San Antonio, TX (May 18, 2012) – Tomorrow, SeaWorld will introduce its guests to Aquatica Waterpark, a whimsical aquatic park with up-close animal experiences, high-speed thrills and relaxing, sandy beaches. Aquatica is the single largest capital project in park's history. What makes Aquatica different from other waterparks are the immersive animal experiences it offers. The waterpark features live animals from lands all over the world. Southern stingrays, brilliant macaws and colorful fish bring to life the park's playful, high-energy nature. "What sets Aquatica apart from other waterparks is that we offer our guests powerful connections with marine animals and one-of-a-kind waterslides in a lush, tropical setting. This is an experience you can't find anywhere else." said Dan Decker, Park President for SeaWorld and Aquatica. The park's signature ride, "Stingray Falls," takes four-seat rafts down twists and turns to an underwater grotto, where guests come face-to-fin with stingrays and tropical fish. It's the only ride of its kind in the world. Guests at Aquatica will have the opportunity to experience stingrays in multiple ways. The most immersive program will be the "Stingray Encounter," where guests can make reservations to feed and wade with stingrays inside the attraction. Guests can also feed and view the stingrays from a wall at the edge of the pool. Aquatica's stingray attraction, otherwise known as "Ke-Re Reef," features 120,000 gallons of saltwater and will include cownose and Southern stingrays. With stingrays, tropical fish and birds, Aquatica will be home to more than 500 animals. Experiences from Serene to Extreme Guest can soak up the sun at any of Aquatica's three beaches. The park features 42,000 square feet of white, sandy beaches, all of which are lined with reclining lounge chairs. Three terraced pools, which feature naturalistic rockwork, are the perfect spots for guests to relax. Guests can unwind with shallow water swimming, in-water seating and cool waterfalls. For thrill seekers, Aquatica features 10 slides that are sure to speed up your pulse. "Walhalla Wave" offers the biggest thrill at Aquatica. A first of its kind in the Western Hemisphere, Walhalla Wave takes a clover tube with up to four riders on a 720-degree loop into a 50-degree drop before sailing up a 3-story zero gravity wall – giving riders a moment of weightlessness. Aquatica features some of the coolest kids' play places around. "Walkabout Waters" is a 3-story, interactive, outdoor funhouse that provides countless ways to get wet and stay cool. Navigating geysers, sprays, giant dumping buckets and spouts provides plenty of play for both the young and the young-at-heart. New Waterpark Is SeaWorld San Antonio's Single Largest Capital Investment The new park is an extension of the Aquatica Waterpark in Orlando, Florida, and it represents the single largest capital investment in the history of the San Antonio park. Both SeaWorld and Aquatica San Antonio are operated by the Orlando-based SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment, which is a portfolio company of The Blackstone Group (NYSE:BX) "We are proud to support SeaWorld's continued expansion," said Peter Wallace, Senior Managing Director at Blackstone.

We look forward to continuing to work with SeaWorld's exceptional management team as it grows the business."
