Lives of Girls Who Became Famous HTML version
Harriet Beecher Stowe
In a plain home, in the town of Litchfield, Conn., was born, June 14, 1811, Harriet
Beecher Stowe. The house was well-nigh full of little ones before her coming. She was
the seventh child, while the oldest was but eleven years old.
Her father, Rev. Lyman Beecher, a man of remarkable mind and sunshiny heart, was
preaching earnest sermons in his own and in all the neighboring towns, on the munificent
salary of five hundred dollars a year. Her mother, Roxana Beecher, was a woman whose
beautiful life has been an inspiration to thousands. With an education superior for those
times, she came into the home of the young minister with a strength of mind and heart
that made her his companion and reliance.
There were no carpets on the floors till the girl-wife laid down a piece of cotton cloth on
the parlor, and painted it in oils, with a border and a bunch of roses and others flowers in
the centre. When one of the good deacons came to visit them, the preacher said, "Walk
in, deacon, walk in!"
"Why, I can't," said he, "'thout steppin' on't." Then he exclaimed, in admiration, "D'ye
think ya can have all that, and heaven too?"
So meagre was the salary for the increasing household, that Roxana urged that a select
school be started; and in this she taught French, drawing, painting, and embroidery,
besides the higher English branches. With all this work she found time to make herself
the idol of her children. While Henry Ward hung round her neck, she made dolls for little
Harriet, and read to them from Walter Scott and Washington Irving.
These were enchanting days for the enthusiastic girl with brown curls and blue eyes. She
roamed over the meadows, and through the forests, gathering wild flowers in the spring
or nuts in the fall, being educated, as she afterwards said, "first and foremost by Nature,
wonderful, beautiful, ever-changing as she is in that cloudland, Litchfield. There were the
crisp apples of the pink azalea,--honeysuckle-apples, we called them; there were scarlet
wintergreen berries; there were pink shell blossoms of trailing arbutus, and feathers of
ground pine; there were blue and white and yellow violets, and crowsfoot, and bloodroot,
and wild anemone, and other quaint forest treasures."
A single incident, told by herself in later years, will show the frolic-loving spirit of the
girl, and the gentleness of Roxana Beecher. "Mother was an enthusiastic horticulturist in
all the small ways that limited means allowed. Her brother John, in New York, had just
sent her a small parcel of fine tulip-bulbs. I remember rummaging these out of an obscure
corner of the nursery one day when she was gone out, and being strongly seized with the
idea that they were good to eat, and using all the little English I then possessed to
persuade my brothers that these were onions, such as grown people ate, and would be
very nice for us. So we fell to and devoured the whole; and I recollect being somewhat

RED JACKET — The Mingo Central Miners are starting a tradition.
Traditions have been a part of sports for as long as they have been organized.
In Colorado they trot a buffalo down the sidelines before a game, in Auburn they let an Eagle soar around the Stadium before a game and at Clemson they have a rock, called Howard's Rock. Football teams have been using their own special traditions for a long time.
The Miners have decided they need one of their own. Surprisingly, their story follows along the path of Clemson's Howard's Rock very closely but with much more local importance.
The Miners have a a block of coal, it's no bigger than a football, and it came from the exact location the football stadium is built upon now.
The Miners were given this chunk of coal over three years ago, it had many uses around the office and locker room. The chunk of coal was used as a door stop, a piece of furniture and a fighting weapon when tempers flared among the coaching staff. This chunk of coal was exactly that for three years, a chunk of coal laying around the locker room.
Now that the Miners have a few football seasons under their belt, and the growing pains of consolidation are becoming a funny memory, they have decided to make the place feel more like home.
The Miners will begin their sixth season as a football program this year and they have developed a great pedigree during that time. They are expected to make the state playoffs every year, Miners fans expect not only a winning season but a perfect season every year, and star players are sometimes seen as local celebrities around these parts.
The Miners have laid the foundation of the program and now they can start to build an identity with the program. Influences came from many teams around the nation, WVU has a similar tradition where the entire team and staff take a designed team walk from WVU Medical Center to the stadium, along the way they pass a big piece of coal that was donated to the team by Alpha Natural Resources, the Mountaineers call this; "the Mantrip."
The Miners were influenced by the idea WVU had, but "The Pillar" means something more to the loyal fans of the Mingo Central Miners, it means home.
There is no need to try and school our population on what coal means to the area, coal affects everyone whether they want to or not.
The Miners have decided to highlight this common thread we all share with a simple gesture that means a lot. The coaching staff at Mingo Central put in the work of downsizing the lump of coal, cleaning it, putting on some shine, and placing it on a stand.
Before the game, the players will not enter the field of battle before they have touched "The Pillar."
Fans will be welcomed to take pictures with "The Pillar" and be a part of the tradition as the game goes on.
The name stems from the second most important part of a deep mine, behind the men working inside, it is the pillar that holds the roof above and the workers below.
Naming it "The Pillar" metaphorically says we all stand together as one, we all do our part, not one of us is less important than the other, no work can be done without all of us standing together.
The Pillar, will have a plaque on the front reading: "Dedicated to the Mingo Central Football Team, and the hard working individuals both on and off the field, who have sacrificed their lives, to earn the right to be called a miner."
Assistant Coach Joey Fields said, "Doing these types of traditions is to connect the community and our fans with this program. We want everyone involved here to feel a sense of home. This is something we can all be proud of, our miners on the field work hard just like the miners in the mine."
The Miners are excited to display The Pillar at the beginning of this season and at all home games.
The Miners will play their first home game against the Tolsia Rebels on Sept, 2. at Buck Harless Stadium. The Rebels knocked the Miners out of the playoffs last season in the semifinals.
Clemson began using Howard's Rock because when it was displayed the first time the Tigers beat Wake Forest, a longtime rival, maybe the Miners may have the same luck.

It's been about four years, maybe longer, since this quest began. We're trying to document every vinyl LP released by an Indiana artist or by an Indiana label from 1950 – 1990.
it's been a challenge, even more so than anticipated. With most private pressings at 500-1000 copies, and most being lost to the passage of time, the vast majority are scarce, even in the towns in which they are made. We think we're getting close to documenting every significant release, but there are many discoveries yet to be made.
We picked 1950 as the starting point as that was essentially the beginning of the LP era. 1990 is more arbitrary. The late 1980's marked the end of the vinyl record as the primary music medium; by this time most releases were CD/cassette or CD only. While there have been vinyl releases continuously since 1990, that is another story for another time.
We include both "major label" releases as well as local, private or band-released records. While we will document the output of such luminaries as John Mellencamp and Wes Montgomery, we are more interested in ferreting out lesser known releases from our state.The only exceptions in our census will be religious and school/choir records, most of which will be excluded due to limited interest.
All LP's with an Indiana connection are eligible for inclusion, such as those pressed by Indiana labels even if the band did not make Indiana its home, those pressed outside of Indiana that were from Indiana artists, etc. We'll even try to document some that feature session or band members from Indiana, even if the band itself was never really an Indiana band.
As Indiana borders four states there are "tweeners", artists and/or labels that have ties to both Indiana and another state. We tend towards inclusiveness in such cases.
The alphabetical pages at top contain lists of Indiana related artists documented so far; these are updated from time to time. Eventually we will have pages for each artist and their release info.
We're also beginning to track 12″ singles and cassettes. See the 12″ page for a list of artists that we have documented to release a 12″ single. Most are rap/hip hop but not all. Some of these are post 1990 as the 12″ medium has continued more or less unabated to present day. .
Interested in Indiana 45's? Go to www.indiana45s.com for a thorough documentation of those.
Were you, or your family/friends in a band that released a record in Indiana? Do you have Indiana related records for sale–45's, LP's, cassettes, posters, etc? Maybe unreleased recordings, old 8×10's, you name it. We'd love to hear from you. Please send us a note via our contact page.

I JUST thought I would share this. This lady climber is such a beauty to behold. She's not only cute, she seems to be a very serious and a very proficient climber, as well. But what I like most about her is that she doesn't seem to have those over-developed muscles – common among some lady climbers – that can make Arnold Schwarzenegger feel insecure. She's still very much huggable.
Maybe somebody can recognize her and tell me her name. I'm a fan.
I no longer remember when, where, an how I got this photo. I serendipitously found it in one of my file archives. My re-discovery of it has inspired me to look forward to climbing again, and soon, if possible.
She doesn't and probably won't ever know it, but this cute lady climber may have already provided me with enough inspiration to achieve my goal to be back hiking again and making my first summit within a year from my dirt bike accident.*
Even as I write this blog post I am already working with a group of kindred spirits to arrange and schedule my first climb since my accident. We're eyeing late November or mid-December.
'Twill be a minor climb, no doubt, considering that I haven't climbed for almost a year already plus the fact that I am still, strictly speaking, on recovery mode. 'Twill be a huge milestone for me, nevertheless, considering that my April accident broke my left tibia and fibula into several pieces. It is actually a miracle that I am already walking again now.
For our minor climb we'll probably do one of the 200-300 MASL peaks within the horizon of Metro Manila, with a difficulty level of just 1 or 2. It will not be a technical climb, definitely. Just basic hike. A day hike, of course. No tents. No sleepovers. Hike to the summit, enjoy the view, eat lunch, hike down. Just the way I like it.
* I had a freak accident on my dirt bike during one of my weekend trail riding trips last April. More on this in a separate blog post soon.

High-speed rail project continues to unravel
|Photo by Kathy Hamilton
California's high-speed rail project is dying the death of a thousand cuts. Quentin Kopp is worried, which is good news for those opposing this dumb project. The Examiner story (Peninsula speed restrictions could push high-speed rail to San Francisco off fast pace) is by Will Reisman, who also talked to former HSR board member Rod Diridon, who said that "the politics of the Peninsula represent the single greatest statewide hurdle to the project." Not surprisingly, Peninsula cities are worried about the impact trains going 200 miles per hour will have when they go through the middle of their communities. In fact Menlo Park, Palo Alto, and Atherton are suing the High-Speed Rail Authority to stop the project.
But the biggest hurdle for the project is that it doesn't have anywhere near enough money to even get built, and it's not likely to get it. The Examiner's sidebar on the article gives the Authority's official $43 billion price tag, but no one who's been following the issue thinks that number is still valid. Building the system will cost at least $66 billion, and the sidebar tells us that the project only has $6 billion of that money nailed down. How likely is it that the federal government, for example, is going to give the state another $15 billion to build the system?
Even people in the Central Valley---especially farmers whose property will be trashed---are also mobilizing in opposition to the system there.
The most deceptive number in the sidebar, however, is the CHSR's projected 41 million passengers in 2030, which is not as bad as the 90 million the Authority predicted in 2008. Even the Authority surely knew that number was a lie. But that's the way supporters sell these transportation mega-projects: they lie about future ridership and lowball construction and operational expenses to make projects seem credible. A plausible deconstruction of the Authority's ridership claim comes up with 14 million passengers in 2035.
Reisman understands how this works, since he did a story last year (The high price of BART's expansion) on how BART sold the airport connection based on inflated ridership predictions. (That's also how the Central Subway was sold.)
Interesting that the BART story quotes a skeptical Tom Radulovich, whose experience on the BART board showed him how supporters of rail projects operate.

Painting a pitted concete surface
I've started painting the interior bare concrete block walls of a large garage, with 600 SF of wall space. The blocks are heavy and hard, made around 1950. Each block has 50-100 pits on its surface, varying from pinhole to the size of a large nail hole. This appears to be the way the blocks were made.
I painted a test patch. Two coats of quality block filler, applied with a 1.25 inch nap roller, covered only some of the holes. A coat of paint put on with the same roller covered a few more, but the pits, even when paint has gotten into them, cast shadows that look like black spots across the surface of each block. I think many are just too wide and too deep for the block filler to work.
I tried spraying with an HVLP which didn't really help.
Applying paint with a thick brush does the best job at covering the pits, but I'm not anxious to paint 600 SF, both primer and paint, with a brush.
Any ideas?
Having experienced that a time or two, I chose to go with a skim coat of mortar to fill all the holes. Then it was easy to spray with an airless.
I guess I associate mortar with softness. Did you mean a skim coat of concrete?
Either way, it sounds like a lot of effort and money for just my garage. If there's no other trick to try, I guess I'll just live with the pitting.

HP accuses Autonomy of wrongdoing, takes $8.8 billion charge
By Poornima Gupta and Nicola Leske
SAN FRANCISCO/NEW YORK (Reuters) - Hewlett-Packard Co stunned Wall Street by alleging a massive accounting scandal at its British software unit Autonomy and taking an $8.8 billion write-down, the latest in a string of reversals that renewed questions about the competence of the storied company's board and senior managers.
HP said on Tuesday it discovered "serious accounting improprieties" and "a willful effort by Autonomy to mislead shareholders," after a whistleblower came forward following the May ouster of former Autonomy Chief Executive Mike Lynch.
The news sent the company's shares plunging 12 percent to a 10-year low of $11.71. HP, which for decades was synonymous with technical excellence and innovation as one of the bedrock companies of Silicon Valley, now has a market value of roughly $20 billion, down from $155 billion in April of 2000.
CEO Meg Whitman took the helm at HP a little over a year ago when her predecessor, Leo Apotheker, was fired after less than a year on the job. Apotheker's one big strategic move during his brief tenure was the $11 billion acquisition of Autonomy, intended to hasten HP's transformation into a software and services company but which was criticized by many analysts as over-priced.
"Most of the board was here and voted for this deal, and we feel terribly about that," Whitman said on a call with analysts.
Tuesday's announcement came just three months after the company took a write-down of almost $11 billion on its EDS services division.
HP has for years relied on deal-making, acquiring businesses ranging from EDS to Compaq to Palm, but has largely failed to articulate a clear strategy or establish a strong position in growth businesses like computer services or mobile computing.
"To put it bluntly ... this story has been an unmitigated train wreck, and it seems every time management speaks to the Street, there is new negative incremental information forthcoming," said ISI Group analyst Brian Marshall. Continued...

Peoplefinders.com1821 Q Street Sacramento , California USA
Peoplefinders.com Rob Miller Deceptive billing and business practice Sacramento California
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
Today we were attempting to perform a simple background check. We searched several websites and companies offering an array of services as well as listing corasponding prices. We chose peoplefinders.com and are now sore in the butt. What hurts the most is that is is uncalled for bad business practice from Mr. Rob Miller aka peoplefinders.com.
This is a bait and switch routine. The consumer is lured in with a price and product, the consumer (myself) payes for what they believe is the product they are searching for, and then the price and product changes. In addition, regardless of your wishes it is a reoccuring charge.
We were wanting a background check. Signed up for a 24.99 charge of a one time one month unlimited search. We paid with our card. We then attempted to run a back ground check, and then were routed to a billing page in order to pay an addition 144 dollars for a year long membership to perform "back ground" checks.
We simply wanted a one time back ground check that was advertised for 29.99. However we had our money stolen and were given a service to search "people". Well heck, we can google people and find the same information as what is charged for 24.99 per month. In addition, no where on the website does it allow for a one time purchase of a back ground check...the same checks they advertise for. We were told by customer service that "this is the only service and price we are offering at this time" in order to do a back ground check. Really, wow!!
Long story short, if any other people out there have been ripped off by this company, please let me know, as we are planning a tort complaint with the state so that this does not happen to any other people.

Where did you get yours? How hard were they to install (slide in front of stock, replace, or what)? Are you happy with them?

Great Pillows
on 12/5/2012
My wife has neck problems when sleeping. These pillow minimized her pain more that any of the other half dozen or so pillows that she has tried. I like this pillow better than the ones I have been using. All in all, we are both very satisfied with them.

It's January and my 8-month-old is on his second cold of the season. It hasn't been anything serious - just your average, run-of-the-mill cold: fever, fussiness, runny nose and coughing. And while it hasn't been unbearable, oh, how I wish it would it would just end end!
There were several things that I wasn't prepared for and others that I was when my baby got sick. Next time baby sparks a fever, you better believe I'll be ready! But I've learned some lessons that all moms should know when it comes to seasonal colds, things like:
Knowing how to contact your doctor. This one was fairly easy and also easy to overlook. Of course, I have my pediatrician's phone number programmed in my cell phone. But my husband didn't. When my cell phone battery died, we needed to use his phone and we had to look up the phone number. Never again! Now it is programmed into both of our phones. We also made sure the nurse's line was in both of our phones as well.
Making sure your baby thermometer works. We have a baby thermometer (that we love!), but when I went to go get it out, the battery was dead. And it doesn't use a traditional AAA battery. I went to a couple of stores and neither of them carried it. I had to call a specialty battery store to find one in town. I didn't just buy one - I bought two to make sure that we have a spare. The last thing you want to do with a tired, achy, fevery baby is cart him from store-to-store to find an elusive battery! So, go, now, and check your baby thermometer. Seriously, do it!
Having medication (and extras!) on hand. Besides a working thermometer, the other thing that I didn't have was medicine for breaking that fever. Since the dosage is dependent upon baby's weight, I called the pediatrician's office to get the dosage. Since he was older than 6 months, I had the option of giving him either ibuprofen or acetaminophen. But I didn't have either of those. Again, off to the grocery store to pick some up. Keep an emergency set on hand somewhere at home in case you run out of your every day stock.
Being prepared to hold your baby. And then hold him some more. I can't remember a time when my son was so willing to be held. Willing isn't even the right word — needing to be held is closer to the truth. His stuffy nose didn't allow him to sleep as long or as deeply as he was used to, causing for more crankiness. And he just wanted to be held. All. Day. Long. And since it was over the holidays, I already had the time off work so I just threw my schedule out the window. Even though I did enjoy the extra cuddles, I wasn't happy to see my baby so cranky.
How do you deal with baby colds?

To clean wooden-handled utensils simply remove the silicone blade by pulling it from the handle and place in the dishwasher. Wash the wooden handles by hand and dry well before replacing the clean utensil blade.
Mineral oil can be used on the wooden handle after drying to preserve its good looks.
Remove all packaging and labels. Wash the utensil in hot, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Stainless steel tools may also be washed in the dishwasher.
Stainless steel tools are safe at any cooking temperature.
Stainless steel tools are safe for use in the dishwasher.
Le Creuset salt and pepper mills should not be immersed in water or put in a dishwasher. If the outside of the mill requires cleaning, wipe with a damp cloth. Let dry completely before refilling. Be careful not to overtighten the knob, as this can damage the shaft and grinding mechanisms.

The South Beach mansion once owned by Italian designer Gianni Versace is headed for the auction block.
Fisher Auction Company will handle the sale of the 2,135 square metre home on Thursday (local time).
The mansion had previously been listed for $US125 million.
Originally built in 1930, the 10-bedroom, 11-bathroom, gated home features a 16.5 metre long mosaic pool lined with 24-karat gold.
It also includes numerous frescos, ornate statues, arched doorways and an open air courtyard.
The home at 1116 Ocean Drive received national attention in 1997, when Versace was fatally shot in front of the property.
He had purchased the home in 1992 and spent about $US33 million renovating.
Tourists can still routinely be spotted taking photos in front of the house.
The property had been operating as a 10-room boutique hotel but closed earlier this year.

PortraitLara Deeb is a cultural anthropologist and Assistant Professor of Women's Studies at the University of California, Irvine.
Pressestimmen"Lara Deeb successfully argues that Islamism is not static or monolithic, and that Islam and modernity are entirely compatible."--Nancy E. Gallagher, Digest of Middle East Studies "Lara Deeb's expansive and eloquent ethnography focuses on the community of Lebanese Shi'i who identify with Hizbullah. It is an excellent analysis of the way that women, in particular, live and define a modern, 'authenticated' Islam in the neighborhoods of al-Dahiyya... Both theoretically and ethnographically, Deeb offers nuanced and thorough analyses, all the while being attentive to overlapping, contradictory, and shifting viewpoints."--Anne Bennett, Middle East Journal "In a well-organized manner, Lara Deeb conveys a multiplicity of ideas that challenge the existing stereotypes of Hizbullah and the Lebanese Shi'i... I would recommend this book for a variety of classes, ranging from undergrads to doctoral candidates, as well as for anyone interested in political and religious issues in Lebanon and the Middle East."--Bridget Blomfield, American Journal of Islamic Social Scientists "An American anthropologist of Lebanese descent and raised Christian, Lara Deeb ... provides a novel interpretation of modern Shi'ism. Her book is written in an academically and scholarly fashion, yet her writing style is easy to understand. In a well-organized manner, she conveys a multiplicity of ideas that challenge the existing stereotypes of Hizbullah and the Lebanese Shi'i. Since she is not Shi'i, she does not express a religious agenda but instead wholeheartedly represents a group of people who have been widely misunderstood in the West. I would recommend this book for a variety of classes, ranging from undergrads to doctoral candidates, as well as for anyone interested in political and religious issues in Lebanon and the Middle East."--Bridget Blomfield, American Journal of Islamic Social Sciences "Deeb provides insights into the complex understandings of the religious and the secular that inform individual and collective expressions of piety among Shia Muslims."--Amina Jamal, Journal of Middle East Women's Studies
