Fernándo Norzagaray y Escudero was a Spanish soldier and colonial governor. Of Basque descent, he was a lieutenant general before becoming the 104th Governor of Puerto Rico and the 78th Governor of the Philippines under Spanish colonial rule. He also had a political career in Spain. In 1840 he was briefly Minister of War. On his return to Spain in 1860 he was made a senator, but he died the same year.[1]
Puerto Rico[edit]
He did extensive infrastructure work in Puerto Rico. One example was the bridge known as General Norzagaray's Grand Bridge, which crossed the Los Frailes stream. Arsenals were constructed, and a cavalry was created.[2]
Norzagaray authorized establishments of houses of foreign currency exchange on June 18, 1857, just two months after his ascendancy to governor. He ordered local administration reforms in September 1858 and reorganized the infantry in September 1859.[3] In April 1859, ten Jesuit priests arrived in the Philippines, after being allowed again in the archipelago, to persuade Norzagaray to grant a Jesuit school be made. They were given the Escuela Municipal, which is the only primary school in Manila, on October 1, 1859.[4] In 1858 he established a botanical garden, the Jardín Botánico, on the site now known as Mehan Garden.[5][6]
Cochinchina Campaign[edit]
He sent Philippine troops to Cochinchina, southern Vietnam, in 1858 in a joint campaign with the French. Both Spain and France claimed to be defending Catholicism in Vietnam, with Spain reacting to the execution of bishop José María Díaz Sanjurjo at Nam Dinh, northern Vietnam, on July 20, 1857. The expedition raised hopes of increasing Philippine trade in Asia, however, Spain and its colony gained little long-term benefit from the four-year campaign.[7]
At the Siege of Tourane, the Spanish navy was represented by the armed despatch vessel El Cano, only one of the initial 13 warships used during the campaign.[8] The transport included a marine artillery battery and 1,000 troops drawn from the Spanish garrison of the Philippines, mostly Tagalogs and Visayans. It was put under the command of the French Admiral Charles Rigault de Genouilly. The combined Franco-Spanish force was forced to evacuate Tourane, giving way to the Vietnamese.[9] The same force was used in the Siege of Saigon, which was put under the same French admiral, and garnered a victory for the combined Franco-Spanish force.[10]
In 1860, most of the Spanish forces under the command of Admiral Bernardo Ruiz de Lanzarote were withdrawn on French request.[11] France went on to develop a colony in Vietnam.
The town of Norzagaray, which was formerly known as Casay, was named in his honor. During his term, he separated Casay from Angat and made the former a distinct town.[12]

Amanda and Steve's Wedding
"I have two different ratings for this venue. The pre-wedding time frame I would give it a very poor rating. We were one of the first weddings they planned when they opened and between staff changes and not wanting to honour the promises made by the previous staff, with a month to go to our wedding we were ready to cancel our wedding and have it somewhere else. However, the person that took over planning the wedding turned out to be great, they honoured most of what they promised us and the day turned out perfect in the end. Small items like the centrepieces weren't set up properly and not all tables were offered wine were the only minor issues, but overall I was very happy with the way it turned out in the end."

I've gotta face it. Not all people like to eat meat for breakfast. I know I couldn't even fathom eating steak or chicken or pork for breakfast when I first started zone then paleo. When I first started changing my diet, I had to make shakes every damn morning. Thinking about eating meat in the morning made me sick to my stomach. But then I finally started just eating leftovers because running the blender at 4:30am is never fun, for anyone. My parents would have kicked me out…especially since I wasn't paying rent when I lived with them after college. Actually, maybe they would have paid ME for living with them if I would have made shakes like this back then. Yep. I bet they would have.
This shake is made for those that hate breakfast in meat form. If you like to drink your breakfast because you're "too busy"…mmmm hmmmm…I think that's just you being lazy and not wanting to eat meat. Sweets are delicious, especially in the morning. I understand. But I drive a stick shift and still get away with eating leftover chicken and veggies while driving. Safe? No. Healthy? Yes. But I did drink this for lunch the other day and it was pretty damn filling. I wasn't hungry for a good couple hours after. Hope you love it as much as I do!
While you're reading this post, I will be in Boston. Well, probably flying there. Getting to Boston from Denver takes a bit. I'm kind of nervous. I get lost walking around the block. So going to place I have literally no clue where I am…well, that makes me nervous. I better pack A LOT of deodorant. And I actually had to go shopping for real people clothes. Turns out not all people who film cooking shows wear workout clothes. Weird, I know.
Hey have you ever watched My Drunken Kitchen? If you haven't, you're one of the few. Her videos have hit almost 2 million views on YouTube. TWO MILLION. Whoa. But if you're easily offended…well…I'm not sure why you're reading MY blog, but you'll probably be offended by her. She gets drunk and cooks. It's awesome. She's pretty damn hilarious! Someday people might think my videos are cool, until then, I will just bore the few that fall unfortunately onto my YouTube station. JOKES ON YOU!
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- ½ cup pureed pumpkin
- ½ cup frozen blueberries
- 1 tablespoon cashew butter
- 1-2 tablespoons protein powder- or however much you use (I use Vanilla Primal Fuel)
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- dash of ground cloves
- Add all ingredients to a blender (I used a food processor and it worked awesome!)
- Blend until completely combined.
- Top with a sprinkle of cinnamon.
- Drink it on down!!

U.S. banks have little direct exposure to the Greek economy, only about $5 billion. The problem is indirect exposure. European banks, particularly those in Germany and France, own large amounts of Greek government debt, which will become worthless if Athens defaults.
"Immediately, there would be a credit crunch."
Tu Packard is a senior economist with Moody Analytics. She says that European policy makers, particularly central bankers, would need to intervene in a big way to keep such banks afloat. If they fail, the U.S. will have a much bigger problem on its hands.
"U.S. exposure to European banks is over $3.4 trillion, so it's over 60% of U.S. exposure to the whole world."
A credit crunch on that scale could easily dry up global trade financing, as happened in the wake of the 2008 financial meltdown. That means Houston would take a beating.

As I write this it's -4 degrees Fahrenheit (-20 Celsius).
Fortunately there's a nice covering of snow to protect the plants and small animals, but we and the birds operate in the air – where it's coldest.
Years ago I knew a woman named Louise Reiley who was a missionary nurse in Alaska and China more than 50 years ago. She had many stories about the successes and hardships of her time abroad but there was one thing she said that stuck with me: "Hot and cold are a state of mind."
Louise explained that if you thought "warm" when it was cold, you wouldn't feel the temperature. She said it really worked. I have never been able to do it. Instead I compensate by wearing layers.
Today it's going to take a while to get dressed: tights, corduroy jeans, ski pants, two layers of socks, boots with felt linings, undershirt, turtleneck, wool sweater, parka with hood, boola scarf, hat, glove liners, mittens. When I'm done I can barely walk and can't see my feet without bending over, but I don't feel the cold.
I'm lucky I don't have to stay outdoors all the time. Birds do, so today will be especially challenging for them. They'll fluff out their feathers to make their down hold more heat and they'll eat a lot. If they don't get enough to eat, they'll die.
So bundle up and fill your bird feeders. Let's all think "warm."
(photo of a Pine Siskin and American Goldfinches by Marcy Cunkelman)
One Response to "Brrrrrrr!"
I have been crazy filling my feeders. I have also added more suet feeders and shelled peanuts for them. The heated bird bath is getting much use and the birds are going through 3/4s of a gallon of water a day!!
It is worth going out in the cold for them though. They need that food to survive. That is what gets me out there no matter how much I dread it.
Stay warm!

Wouldn't you love to pack up this pretty little suitcase and take it on a trip somewhere?
Can I just tell you how much I love timeless treasures? Even if they have no part in the history of my family, they still speak volumes to my heart.
Oh, how I am loving the rich browns, purples and greens this fall.
Sometime soon, I want to share with you what I consider my "style" to be and why I love what I love.
Take a look at this beautiful plaid blanket. This beauty is heavy and warm. Another yardsale find…
One of my favorite things to decorate with are bundles of books…especially books that are uncovered. Wrap them with a little bit of twine and there you have it.
Isn't this is a great basket to put all of your eggs in? Or maybe all your books…
I am really looking forward to the weekend. There will be lots of work going on but also some relaxing time with all my family at home. Hubby has been gone all week on a business trip so we are ready for him to get back home.
My sweet friends, I pray blessings for each and everyone of you.

Stocks Shoot Higher after Rate Cut
Stocks recovered from earlier losses to finish solidly higher on Tuesday after Federal Reserve policymakers slashed interest rates for the tenth time this year -- the third time since the September 11 attacks -- in an effort to boost the sagging U.S. economy. Fed officials also left the door open for more cuts in December.
The Federal Open Market Committee lowered its target for the federal funds rate by 50 basis points to 2.0% -- the lowest level in some 40 years. The move was widely expeceted on Wall Street, though market players were split as to whether the Fed would cut by 25 or 50 basis points.
In a related action, the Fed's Board of Governors approved a 50 basis point reduction in the discount rate to 1.5%.
In a statement that accompanied the rate move, the Fed said "heightened uncertainty and concerns about a deterioration in business conditions" were damping economic activity in the in the U.S. and abroad. The Fed sees risks "weighted mainly toward conditions that may generate economic weakness."
The easing and commentary indicate the Fed still is very concerned about the fragile economy -- negative news, certainly. But the Fed moves also were interpreted on a technical level as good news for stocks, because investors' expectations for equity returns now will be gauged at a much lower bar, given the rock-bottom interest-rate environment, says A.C. Moore, chief investment strategist at Dunvegan Associates in Santa Barbara, Calif. "Stocks are not responding to the hope about the future, but the changes in the pricing of the earnings," Moore explains. Also boosting sentiment were expectations the lower rates will revive the economy.
Indeed, the rally Tuesday doesn't diminish recent negative economic data including a report on the depressed manufacturing sector. Some on Wall Street are beginning to wonder if an anticipated recovery in the second half of 2002 may now be pushed back further given the Fed's aggressive easing and comments. "This indicates that the Fed is not convinced the recovery may be six months down the road, or eight months down the road," says Peter Cardillo, chief strategist at Westfalia Investments.
There was plenty of corporate news for investors to chew on Tuesday. Among the stocks in the news, shares of Cisco Systems (CSCO ) ended with slight gains. After the closing bell on Monday, the maker of computer networking gear announced pro forma earnings per share of $0.04 (excluding various charges), which came in ahead of the Wall Street consensus estimate of $0.02. Revenue topped analysts' expectations at $4.2 billion. The news helped support tech shares on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, shares of software titan Microsoft (MSFT ) rose despite press reports the company's attorneys were "skeptical" about reaching an antitrust settlement with the government, according to wire reports. The 18 states involved in the case were reportedly split on whether to back a proposed settlement.
Also in technology, shares of Hewlett-Packard (HWP ) soared after the company said it's committed to its planned merger with Compaq Computer (CPQ ). Hewlett-Packard added it expects shareholders to support the despite plans by the Hewlett family to vote against the merger.
And in the energy sector, shares of Enron (ENE ) closed under $10 amid on-going conerns about liquidity, and complex financial transactions involving a former CFO, and whether or not those dealings properly were disclosed. The SEC is conducting an investigation into the matter. Meantime, the price of benchmark Brent crude fell below $19 a barrel, the lowest level since July 1999, amid sluggish demand and high inventories.
The Dow Jones industrial average closed up 149.33 points, or 1.58%, to 9,950.36. The tech-heavy Nasdaq composite index was up 41.44 points, or 2.31%, to 1,835.09. The broader S&P 500 index gained 15.90 points, or 1.44%, to 1,118.74.
Treasury Market
Shorter-dated Treasuries cheered the Fed's action and the yield on the two-year note fell nearly 16 bais points Tuesday. (Bond yields and prices move in opposite directions.) On the long end of the yield curve, the 30-year bond gave up its earlier gains to finish little changed.
World Markets
European markets ended mixed. In London, the Financial Times-Stock Exchange 100 index added 5 points, or 0.10%, to 5,214.10. In France, the CAC 40 lost 23.65 points, or 0.53%, to 4,461.69. In Germany, the DAX Index was down 47.46 points, or 1%, to 4,707.65.
Asian markets also closed mixed. Japan's Nikkei climbed 186.18 points, or 1.72%, to 10,633.72. In Hong Kong, the Hang Seng gained 74.67 points, or 0.72%, to 10,356.05.

UPDATE: One of my astute media colleagues has come up with an even-better dark horse: John Celona, who has a little more than a week of freedom left before he is scheduled to be imprisoned.
One of the great Rhode Island events of the year is prevented, by statute, from taking place in Rhode Island. We speak of the Providence Newspaper Guild's annual Follies, which happens on the last Friday in February (in other words, two days from now) at the inimitable Venus de Milo in Swansea, Massachusetts.
More than 1200 Ocean Staters turn out each year for the event, which began as a way to heal the rifts of a bitter 1973 strike at the ProJo. Highlights include a lively cocktail hour, a sumptuous buffet, and -- best of all -- a satiric, often-biting send-up of the year in Rhode Island news. (As us newsies in this ethically challenged state are fond of saying, "Rhode Island is the gift that keeps on giving.") Talented ProJo staffers and Guild members do much of the song and dance. Guild administrator Tim Schick, although something of an appealing ham, should keep his day job, however.
The closing ritual of the Follies is the appearance from the world of politics of a Mystery Guest who proceeds to poke fun at him or herself. Those taking the treatment in recent years include then-Lieutenant Governor Charles "Fogarty Goes Wild" Fogarty; US Representative Patrick Kennedy, in less-than-seaworthy shape; Providence Mayor David Cicilline, as a very flamboyant and fabulous fellow; and a hippie-fied then-US Senator Lincoln Chafee.
Despite Not for Nothing's many sources on Fountain Street, the identity of the Mystery Guest routinely remains shrouded with the utmost secrecy. So we'll go out on a branch and predict that it will be one of these five individuals:
Secretary of State Ralph Mollis, who faced a recent spate of unflattering publicity involving a few of his children: Excellent choice.
Governor Donald L. Carcieri, who committed the cardinal sin of not attending the Follies last year: Bravura choice.
US Senator Jack Reed: Could happen.

Apparently airplane lavatories are just too large and luxurious these days—I mean, they're practically the size of a closet—so wasteful! Luckily, an enterprising aircraft interior manufacturer has come up with a solution to wrench every last bit of extra room from plane bathrooms.
News.com.au reports that B/A Aerospace has invented a new design for aircrafts that will slash the space inside of lavatories enough to create room for a whole extra row of seats aboard planes.
Considering that standard plane bathrooms are a mere 3ft. by 3ft., we'd hate to see what they'll look like on the redesign. Tall people, claustrophobic flyers, or people hoping to join the mile-high club may want to avoid flying Delta Air Lines in the future, as they will be one of the first to have the smaller bathrooms on their new 737-900s.
The tiny toilets will allow for four extra seats to be added, so not only will you get smaller bathrooms, but you'll also be crammed in with four extra flyers. Don't you just love modern air travel?

QinetiQ North America (QNA) announced today that it has teamed with VeriTainer Corporation to provide its radiation scanning solution to ports around the globe. VeriTainer Corp, based in Fremont, CA, has developed the VeriSpreader™, a crane-mounted device that scans containers in real time for dangerous radiation as they are being loaded and discharged from container ships, therein achieving the critical balance of high security and the free flow of commerce.
The teaming agreement couples VeriTainer's technology with QNA's systems engineering and data analysis capability to deliver leading edge scanning technology to the world's ports. The agreement comes on the heels of VeriTainer's two highly successful Oakland Pilot Projects, the second of which concludes later this month. The Oakland test programme conclusively demonstrated both robustness and efficiency of this technology and its design as more than 20,000 containers have successfully been scanned without disruption to operations as they entered the Port of Oakland. Earlier this year, the VeriSpreader was awarded Qualified Anti-Terrorist Technology (QATT) designation status by the Department of Homeland Security for developmental testing and evaluation.
Leading the way in innovation, VeriTainer and QinetiQ hold the first solution capable of addressing the significant challenges associated with scanning particular to transhipment and on-dock rail operations. Further, VeriTainer's crane based solution eliminates the long dwell time between entry and scanning currently being experienced at many US ports. In the United States, recent legislation signed by President George Bush requires 100 percent scanning of all containers inbound to the US by 2012. Now, for the first time, governments, the maritime industry, and other key stakeholders have a physically secure scanning technology which requires no manning, making 100% port of origin and port of destination scanning feasible.
"VeriTainer has proven that its crane-based detection system works, and we believe it accomplishes primary scanning in the most accurate and efficient way since the lift period offers a long dwell time for the sensors," said Rob Topping, QNA's President and Chief Operating Officer. "Combining VeriTainer's technology with our ability to deliver solutions to port and homeland security customers is an important part of our strategy to employ innovative, best-in-class technologies, both from inside QinetiQ and from our partners."
"This is an invaluable relationship," said John Alioto, Chairman and CEO of VeriTainer. "With the global reach of the QinetiQ Group we will be able to assist governments and port personnel around the world in their efforts to find the most cost-effective solution to this potential terrorist threat. In QinetiQ, we have the partner that can help us deliver integrated solutions worldwide."
VeriTainer Corporation is a venture-backed leader in crane-based radiation detection technology for scanning of shipping containers to ensure that the world's ports are free from nuclear terrorism. VeriTainer's patented technology enables scanning of 100 percent of shipping containers, addressing a principal vulnerability of the world's population centres and allowing for rapid scanning of containers entering and exiting ports without disrupting the flow of commerce.
QinetiQ North America provides world-class technology and responsive solutions to US government customers. More than 5,500 engineers and technologists work in partnership with customers to develop innovative technology solutions to meet the challenges of national defense, homeland security and information access. QinetiQ North America is part of QinetiQ Group plc, a leading international defense and security technology business.

Contemporary best-sellers this week
This week on the contemporary best-seller list Tracy K. Smith climbs back into the #1 slot, knocking Michael Robbins down to #7. Making its debut on the list at #5 is Ron Padgett's How to Be Perfect. "Since the 1960s, Padgett has been writing comic poems in the wryly naive manner of Frank O'Hara and Kenneth Koch, his mentor. This new collection (after 2002s You Never Know) continues in the New York School vein, where anything—an English muffin, a stapler—might trigger a meditation that travels light-years beyond its source." Also new to the list at #19 is Gibson Fay-LeBlanc's Death of a Ventriloquist. Of Fay-LeBlanc's new title Publisher's Weekly says: "Subtle and finespun as the strings that move a marionette, Fay-LeBlanc's lines in this debut lure, guide, and yank us through poems in which 'a redstart in the boneset and spotted knapweed' and 'eel grass winding your ankles' are always waiting to dance upon the tongue. Whether he's overhearing a conversation in a tavern or the music stuck in his head, Fay-LeBlanc uses his ventriloquist to raise important questions about how we perform ourselves through language, creating a voice that locates its source in a 'Prayer of Glass' because it must hide its true source from us." And lastly, Carol Allis's Poems for Ordinary People enters the list at #28.

50 Essential Science Fiction Books
This was a virtually impossible task. Put together a list of 50 must-read science fiction books and don't make anyone angry. Science fiction is the most discussed and argued over genre in literature but it actually goes way beyond books and into film, TV, video games and even toys.
Here are the criteria we used. One book per author, so that was hard on the big three of science fiction – Robert Heinlein, Isaac Asimov and Arthur C Clarke, who each have multiple classic titles to their name. Attempt to show as many sub-genres of science fiction and plot themes as possible. Include early stories that influenced the genre as a whole and launched popular themes, even if those books appear a bit dated today.
We wanted to show the unbelievable breadth of this galactic-sized genre and, of course, we failed because this is just the tip of the spaceberg – there are probably 500 essential science fiction books, not 50.
The War of the Worlds is on the list, a famous example of invasion literature, but I could easily have used The Time Machine. For Ray Bradbury, there's The Illustrated Man but I could have used Fahrenheit 451 or The Martian Chronicles.
You are spoiled for choice, this list includes novellas, short story collections, a graphic novel and books from published 1864 to 2011…

RE: st: Graph: Hiding one key in legend

Thanks Maarten, that would usually help me a lot (and will certainly in
the future), but I'm in the unfortunate situation that I have different
information represented in the different graphs, so I need to list up
all the line-keys in the legend(s). It seems -grc1leg- can only adopt
the legend from one of the underlying graphs, I would need it to create
the union of those legends.
Speculating, one possible solution could be to add additional keys to
the -grc1leg- graph to represent the missing keys, but adding keys
doesn't seem to be any easier than removing them...
>Have a look at -findit grc1leg- (probably short for graph combine with
>1 legend).

text: The Billy Graham Center Archives now features an online exhibit, titled "The Greatest Youth Gathering in History." The exhibit tells the story of the 1945 Memorial Day Rally held in Chicago's famed Soldier Field. The rally was sponsored by the newly formed Youth for Christ (YFC) movement, led in Chicago by Rev. Torrey M. Johnson. The title is taken from YFC's own handbills and is typical of the movement's enthusiasm - and eye to publicity. The rally, which drew an estimated 60,000 people, in many ways was symbolic of the emergence of Protestant evangelicalism as a force within American Christianity and society at large. Many of the people involved in planning or leading the event, such as Billy Graham, would go on to provide leadership in ministries around the world. The Archives staff, drawing largely on the papers of Torrey M. Johnson, tell the story of the Soldier Field event through photos, documents, posters, plans and audio recordings. Especially interesting are 1940s films of this and other elated YFC events, in both black and white and color, which give a vivid picture of Chicago at the end of World War II. This exhibit can be viewed at www.wheaton.edu/bgc/archives/YFC1945.htm. The Archives of the Billy Graham Center is a department of Wheaton College in Wheaton, Illinois. For more information, e-mail the Archives staff at: email@example.com or call 630.752.5910.
