What's the best definition of God that you guys can come up with or find?
I came up with this one:
"God: a literary device (used mostly in fantasy) to bypass the laws of physics and nature in order to speed up the writing process."
Modern Example: Eru from "The Silmarillion" by JRR Tolkien.
The traditional example you all know.

Hey M.B.,
I do not think it is possible to define god in any sufficient sense.
- kk
I, like many, if not all, of us, agree that defining god is simply futile. Defining god it's like defining what a "bakrarul" is. Of course I just made that up. But, that's the whole point: it's made up. God did not create humans in his/hers/its own image, it was the other way around; and it infuriates many of us, if not all again, that such imaginary fiend (>_<) insist on directing our lives. Besides, it was a very interesting and amusing exercise and I enjoyed everyone's responses, and I dare say that others did too (^_^)
I think what everyone here is approaching but not fully broaching is that defining god is a self-defeating process: god is supposed to be everything outside of our capacity to understand, so how could we possibly define it? In other words, by definition, god cannot have a definition. Anything else is an anthropomorphism, metaphor, or just incomplete.
I will say I'm glad I haven't seen "God is love" in this thread. That sentence makes me want to kill puppies.
Hey erik,
That is very similar to my rationale for saying that "god" is inherently undefined.
- kk
A term created by man to subdue the unknown.
I like it.
God: Everything we don't know.
My first post here - hope you like it. This is something I came up with a while ago but this it the first time I've shared it
God is Dog Backwards
Dog: Man's best friend.
God: Definitely not your friend.
Dog: Makes messes in your backyard but the rest of the world is safe.
God: Your backyard is safe but the rest of the world is a mess.
Dog: Will kill for you.
God: Will kill you.
Dog: Will hump your leg but be a comfort to your kids.
God: Through the priest, will be a comfort to you but will hump your kids.
Dog: Is a protector.
God: Needs protection.
Dog: Will pee on your carpet but your life is fine.
God: Your carpet is fine but will pee on your life.
Dog: Will be a real comfort to you.
God: Is comfortable reeling you in, through the priest.
Dog: Will sniff people's crotches or butts.
God: Will require you to lick his.
Dog: Is punished for what he/she did wrong.
God: Punishes us for what Adam and Eve did wrong.
Dog: Has lots of puppies that live normal lives.
God: Kills his only son.
Dog: Has wants and needs that are obvious.
God: Has conflicting and obscure wants and needs.
Dog: Exists in many breeds each with only one face.
God: Only one, with many faces (religions).
Dog: Is responsible only for his/her own wrongs.
God: Is responsible for creating evil (Satan & in man).
Dog: Will love you.
God: (natural disasters, Inquisition, Holocaust, World Trade Center)
Dog: Real.
God: Not.
> Dog: Real.
> God: Not.
Phew! Thank goodness for that. For both of that.
This is coming from a person who owes a lot in his life to a handful of dogs, and whom many people tried to convince that he owes everything to some "god".
What is this strange fascination of comparing a dog to God. They are clearly not the same thing at all.
Of course not, one it's imaginary the other one it's real.
"What is this strange fascination of comparing a dog to God. They are clearly not the same thing at all."
The original version I made was designed to imply a mirror-like aspect with the Dog column having opposing remarks in the God column. But I was unable to recreate that in the thread.
If you mean in general, that would be due to the one being the reverse spelling of the other in English.
A product of mankind's fear of death and need for a way to all be wrong together when they cannot find the answers to everything.
Mankind selfishly believes that it is too good to die with the rest of "God's creations" and blame his transgressions on his "creator's" choice to make mankind imperfect because of the free will he gave them. Through prayer and penance (of some kind) "God" will forgive your soul (another selfish man-made trinket) and accept you into the most perfectly happy place a human being could imagine (or is not capable of imagining cuz it's so much more happier than we're capable of imagining as mere human beings..lol) and spend the rest of eternity there with no fear of suddenly ceasing to exist.
Mankind, unlike any other species on this planet, has a special attribute explicitly exclusive to our species. Ignorance. Yes, beloved ignorance. Man through his beloved ignorance has chosen to rebel against science since most of it is beyond our understanding and has chosen to understand the world by basically "making shit up", therefore, we have "God".
That's my definition of "God" in a nutshell.

A MUD (; originally Multi-User Dungeon, with later variants Multi-User Dimension and Multi-User Domain), is a multiplayer real-time virtual world, usually text-based.
mud n 1: water soaked soil; soft wet earth [syn: {clay}] 2: slanderous remarks or charges v 1: soil with mud, muck, or mire; "The child mucked up his shirt while playing ball in the garden" [syn: {mire}, {muck}, {muck up}] 2: plaster with mud [also: {mudding}, {mudded}]
MUD Multi-User Dungeon (MUD)
59 Moby Thesaurus words for "mud": baygall, bog, bottom, bottomland, bottoms, buffalo wallow, clay, dirt, dust, everglade, fen, fenland, glade, grime, gumbo, hog wallow, holm, marais, marish, marsh, marshland, meadow, mere, mire, moor, moorland, morass, moss, muck, mud flat, muddle, muddy, ooze, peat bog, quagmire, quicksand, rile, salt marsh, slime, slip, slob, slob land, slop, slosh, slough, sludge, slush, smut, soot, sough, squash, sump, swale, swamp, swampland, swill, taiga, wallow, wash
MUD /muhd/ n. [acronym, Multi-User Dungeon; alt. Multi-User Dimension] 1. A class of {virtual reality} experiments accessible via the Internet. These are real-time chat forums with structure; they have multiple `locations' like an adventure game, and may include combat, traps, puzzles, magic, a simple economic system, and the capability for characters to build more structure onto the database that represents the existing world. 2. vi. To play a MUD. The acronym MUD is often lowercased and/or verbed; thus, one may speak of `going mudding', etc. Historically, MUDs (and their more recent progeny with names of MU- form) derive from a hack by Richard Bartle and Roy Trubshaw on the University of Essex's DEC-10 in the early 1980s; descendants of that game still exist today and are sometimes generically called BartleMUDs. There is a widespread myth (repeated, unfortunately, by earlier versions of this lexicon) that the name MUD was trademarked to the commercial MUD run by Bartle on British Telecom (the motto: "You haven't _lived_ 'til you've _died_ on MUD!"); however, this is false -- Richard Bartle explicitly placed `MUD' in the public domain in 1985. BT was upset at this, as they had already printed trademark claims on some maps and posters, which were released and created the myth. Students on the European academic networks quickly improved on the MUD concept, spawning several new MUDs (VAXMUD, AberMUD, LPMUD). Many of these had associated bulletin-board systems for social interaction. Because these had an image as `research' they often survived administrative hostility to BBSs in general. This, together with the fact that Usenet feeds were often spotty and difficult to get in the U.K., made the MUDs major foci of hackish social interaction there. AberMUD and other variants crossed the Atlantic around 1988 and quickly gained popularity in the U.S.; they became nuclei for large hacker communities with only loose ties to traditional hackerdom (some observers see parallels with the growth of Usenet in the early 1980s). The second wave of MUDs (TinyMUD and variants) tended to emphasize social interaction, puzzles, and cooperative world-building as opposed to combat and competition (in writing, these social MUDs are sometimes referred to as `MU*', with `MUD' implicitly reserved for the more game-oriented ones). By 1991, over 50% of MUD sites were of a third major variety, LPMUD, which synthesizes the combat/puzzle aspects of AberMUD and older systems with the extensibility of TinyMud. In 1996 the cutting edge of the technology is Pavel Curtis's MOO, even more extensible using a built-in object-oriented language. The trend toward greater programmability and flexibility will doubtless continue. The state of the art in MUD design is still moving very rapidly, with new simulation designs appearing (seemingly) every month. Around 1991 there was an unsuccessful movement to deprecate the term {MUD} itself, as newer designs exhibit an exploding variety of names corresponding to the different simulation styles being explored. It survived. See also {bonk/oif}, {FOD}, {link-dead}, {mudhead}, {talk mode}.

This is a really awesome brush. As far as using it for shadow, I would probably only use it for cream shadows/paint pots/primers. I have used this for concealer and it does a brilliant job! This would also be great for the undereye area - using whatever you use to apply undereye concealer or brightener. I'm a really big fan of this brush due to all of its multiple uses. I've never owned a brush quite like this - and for the price, you can't go wrong! I paid about $5 shipped for this item on CoastalScents.com

New York, NY, US
I see myself as a balanced skilled and talented young designer and I am actively looking for new career opportunities.
In my recent three years as architectural designer at KPF , I have gained progressive experience in the architectural field. During my time here, I have honed and developed my skills through working on large scale mixed use and office projects through all phases of design ranging from the schematic phase through construction documentation and administration. Under the supervision of senior designers, I was able to develop, refine, and create compelling visuals for client presentations. During all phases of design, I assisted in the coordination and development of thorough drawing packages for consultant and client review.
During this time, while growing as a professional, I was also able to gain my LEED AP BD+C accreditation and I am going to get NY state license every soon as well. Always with a positive attitude, I believe myself to be a great contributor and good collaborator no matter what the task. My efforts as assistant designer have helped win several international competitions throughout the world, the projects include but are not limited to the Indian tower in Mumbai, the Shanghai Wanda Headquarters, and the 151 E 60th Street Residential Tower in NY. I have also been an active member of office sponsored events, such as the CTBUH cocktail reception and many office workshops.
Please contact me 215-301-3166 or email me email@example.com and I would love to answer any questions you might have.

"We have now reached the point where it's halftime," Rick Santorum told supporters in Mars, Pennsylvania, after losing all three primaries Tuesday night.
"Half the delegates in this process have been selected. Who is ready to charge out of the locker room in Pennsylvania for a strong second half?"
Pennsylvania, Mr. Santorum's home state, holds its primary on April 24th and it is widely seen as the candidate's make-or-break moment in the GOP primary race.
"It's a defiant Santorum tonight. Channels a bit of Clint Eastwood with 'halftime' in GOP contest mantra," tweeted NBC analyst Chuck Todd.
Hollywood actor Clint Eastwood's appearance in a Chrysler Super Bowl ad earlier this year lead many to question whether the ad, and its 'halftime in America' message, was intended to support President Obama's bailout of the Detroit auto industry.
Sweater-vest wearing Santorum supporters storming out of a locker-room is quite an image, but may not be enough to grab the nomination from Mitt Romney.
Nevertheless, the 'halftime' sports reference delivered some of the funniest lines on social media.
"Santorum says we have reached 'halftime' of GOP race. Unfortunately, he's Kansas and Romney is Kentucky," tweeted the Washington Post's Chris Cillizza, referring to this weeks U.S. college basketball championship.
One better: "If it really is halftime, Santorum is gonna need to come out of the locker room as Teen Wolf," tweeted Reuters correspondent Sam Youngman.
And for those who cannot remember the moment in the 1985 film when actor Michael J. Fox's character transforms in to Teen Wolf on the basketball court, here it is for your viewing pleasure.
Democratic party strategist James Carville delivered his own withering take on Mr. Santorum's Tuesday night speech: "He was like a chicken with his head chopped off. The chicken is dead. The only person that don't know it is the chicken."

When it comes to web usability, Don't Make Me Think packs more punch per page than any other book we've seen. The first edition became an instant classic. We waited five years for a second edition, but it was worth the wait.
Krug's principles have aged very well. So, what's new here? First, Krug offers prefabricated emails to your boss, patiently explaining why his/her brainstorm isn't really such a good idea (for instance, why adding visual "sizzle" could be counterproductive). There's a new chapter on building sites that treat users well -- in Krug's words, "behave like a mensch." There's also an unusually realistic take on accessibility, including five recommendations to follow if you can't revamp your entire site.
Thankfully, Krug's humor, brevity, and intelligence remain omnipresent in this edition. Highly recommended -- again. Bill Camarda, from the September 2005 Read Only

A Void On A Cradle
Release Date: 21 June 2011

New band Krapp (from France) releases their debut album "A Void On A Cradle" on Fluttery Records. This duo create music influenced by different artists such as Zu, Portishead, David Sylvian, Alain Bashung, Bela Bartok or 31 Knots. Their music style might remind jazz, rock, electro, pop or classical music but they don't fit any of those categories.
This twelve pieces collection turns around poetry in English and in French that swings between surrealistic tales and non-sense joke. The almost kinetic sounds on this album approach both industrial music or ambient soundscapes where ordinary life objects take their place in the instrumentation as electronics, guitars, cello, saxophones, bass, piano or drums.
Laura G. / Coxerfly :
"Krapp, a name that can make you smile or be confused as the sound they produce is in opposition with the faeces you're waiting for!! It's a poetical and soft music, sometimes bitter or troubling. Olga Svobodova's voice seems like a gentle murmur that can remind Björk and that give to this pieces in english and in french an unusual tone with the music composed like movements around the lyrics by Kevin Brosse. It seems like a strange atmosphere or an unique color in which you can loose yourself with words and musical events. (…) Krapp makes you thinking and dreaming as you're swept away by this tunes in poetry."
I'Oreille à l'envers
KRAPP, French-british duo rich in hearing colors, where the tawny and björklike voice of Olga Svobodova releases all her beauty on musical poetry of Kevin Brosse, based on jazz, electro, rock and other experimental soundscapes.
A dense and light kaleidoscope music, with flexible emotional ambiances, that you can appreciate on the first album " A void on a Cradle" recently available. Twelve tracks to savour where the duo have been surrounded with a couple of guests, most of them members of the collective Naxoprod from Rennes as Cédric Bouvet (saxophonist in heraclite), Florent Garnaud (guitarist in Flying Penguins), Elodie Nicolas (drummer in To Melema), Safya K. (cellist), Samuel Anger (guitarist in Olgoj Korkoj) et Vincent Hollier-Larousse (drummer in ENGINe).
KRAPP : a striking hearing universe, multifaced, to be dicovered as soon as possible!
Les Biscuits Dalice
I'm crazy about experiences-projects, innovative, that is brought up on an literary heritage, ingested and altered. So when I discovered Krapp, I directly wanted to introduce this project. But who's Krapp? From the foundations, It is an old man, born from the quill of Samuel Beckett in his short play Krapp's Last Tape (1958/1960). Krapp, younger, recorded his thoughts, soliloquized and loneliness. A couple of years later, he listens again his own story, confronted to the void that surronds him. Krapp and I, we know each other well. We have spent much time together, when I was student : My final project for my degree in theatrical studies was about the invention of a scenography for Krapp's Last Tape. I think I fed enough with silences speaking about Beckett, to have left an indelible trace in my way to apprehend mine.
That's not directly about Beckett's character that I want to talk about here, but about the musical band Krapp, mainly directed by Kevin Brosse and Olga Svobodova. I invit you to listen to their album A Void on a Cradle which was inspired by the Beckett's work.
Intrigued, I asked Kevin to explain the origin and the sequence of their process. Here is his answer :
"From the origin, the Krapp project was born with the envy of exploring a musical heritage. The idea was to start with already existing music, music that we like or liked and that have left something on our own, that have influenced our approach to the music, refined our tastes and created our demand on originality, spontaneity and curiosity. These rock music ( for the most of them) form a part of us even if a distance afterwards have been imposed with the discovery of new sounds, new musical approach. This distance allows a replaying. The discovery of Beckett and in particular Krapp's Last Tape have deeply left a mark on mebecause I saw inthe approach of Beckett's character some similitudes with the envy of replaying (the fact that he listens to old tapes again that he has recorded in the past and to comment them with all that the life he had between these points in the past and the present involves in the question of his own existence).
The musical work on this project was based on samples, the tapes in a way, which on the one hand comes from music I have listened to, on the other from music I have worked on as a musician or a sound engineer. The advantage with samples, it's that you can keep whatever you want from the original work, you can also paste bits of samples and make another sense for the music, alter the perception. After having processed, twisted in all ways, the origin of the tape is non-identifiable with the ear but it imposes a framework for a new track. When you have processed that way, then the rest of the composition consists as in all music in complementing the melodico-rhythmic processes when needed, enhancing the tones, prioritizing some musical events for making sense. Sometimes, you can even delete the samples that were there at the beginning because the music doesn't need them anymore.

This has been a wonderful summer of international meetings concerning the fascinating, complex, and frustrating relationships that exist between humans and other animals ("animals"). Topics have ranged from animal protection and conservation to what we can learn about human play behavior from the ways in which animals play with one another and the right of children to be children, to be allowed to frolic and just have fun. Clearly, numerous people all over the world are interested in animals and the numbers are rapidly growing (see also).
Last week I had the pleasure of attending a meeting that was more focused on "Humans and other apes: Rethinking the species interface". At this gathering, supported by the Arcus Foundation, an organization concerned with social justice and conservation issues, my colleagues and I were specifically concerned with relationships between humans and other great apes and what we can do to protect these amazing beings from further exploitation by humans in captivity and in the wild (there are about 1000 chimpanzees languishing in laboratories in the United States). The timing of this meeting couldn't have been better, what with the recent appearance of a book on ethics and animals, a new journal devoted to this topic, the opening of new movies focusing on chimpanzees, "Project Nim" and "Rise of the Planet of the Apes", and a public workshop on the use of chimpanzees in biomedical and behavioral research held in Washington, D. C (see also).
While it's too early to know if and how new books, journals, and movies will be able to help the dire situation of captive chimpanzees and other animals they all make it very clear that these great apes are intelligent and deeply emotional beings and that they care very much about what happens to them, just as we care about what happens to us. They surely need much more protection in the horrific conditions of captivity in which they're kept and in the wild where individuals are unrelentingly killed and their habitats decimated. Concerning the workshop on the use of chimpanzees in research, support for ending the use of chimpanzees in "traumatic and invasive research" came from many different corners including Roscoe G. Bartlett, a republican representative from Maryland and a former physiologist at the Navy's School of Aviation Medicine. In an essay in the New York Times Representative Bartlett concluded, "Americans can longer justifying confining these magnificent and innocent animals to traumatic and invasive research and life imprisonment." As the world famous scientist Carl Sagan once asked, "How smart does a chimpanzee have to be before killing him constitutes murder? Indeed how smart would any animal have to be?"
At the Arcus Foundation's meeting my colleagues and I talked about a wide variety of issues in a daunting array of animals (ants to great apes) ranging from ethical concerns centering on the use of animals in research, deeply philosophical issues (see also) including personhood, legal issues, the keeping of animals in other captive situations, animal behavior, cognitive ethology (the study of animal minds; see also), the emotional and moral lives of animals, human-animal interactions in various areas of the world, ethnoprimatology (see also and), conservation biology and conservation psychology, how we can expand our compassion footprint for animals, including humans, our uniquely destructive ways, and compassionate conservation. While there were differing views, as might be expected when people get together to discuss the broad and challenging issues concerned with human-animal interactions, we all agreed that much can be done to improve the lives of chimpanzees and of course other animals and that it is essential to understand the gaps in our knowledge and how we can and must overcome the barriers to communicating our and other's concerns to a wide audience, outside of the ivory tower. Human exceptionalism and speciesism (see also and) were on the table for frank and open discussions. If one is so bold as to attempt to draw lines between different species, it's clear that the borders are extremely fuzzy and ever changing.
Stories about individual animals are compelling as many people, perhaps most, are drawn into the life of individuals with whom they can identity. As one of many examples about the egregious treatment of a chimpanzee, consider this story about Negra from a research paper by Dr. Hope Ferdowsian and her colleagues about mood and anxiety disorders in chimpanzees. "A chimpanzee named Negra was a 36-year-old female at the time of the study. Taken from the wild in Africa as an infant, she has remained in captivity since that time. She was used in invasive research, including hepatitis experiments, and for breeding. Each of her infants was removed from her at an early age. During the period in which she was used in research, she was kept in isolation for several years. Approximately 1 year prior to the study, she was transferred to Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest in Washington state, where she currently lives with six other chimpanzees. Negra met alternative criteria for depression and PTSD. According to reports, she had persistent depressed hunched posture, and she was socially withdrawn. Negra slept excessively during the daytime, and she lacked interest in play, food, other individuals, and grooming. She also demonstrated poor attention to tasks. She was described as slow and sluggish, and at times, she appeared anxious. In response to an unexpected touch, she would 'threat bark,' scream, or run away. Compared with other chimpanzees, she demonstrated less variability in her facial expressions. Caretakers reported that her face was expressionless, 'like a ghost,' for at least a month after she arrived at the sanctuary. She seldom, if ever, exhibited a play face. She was tested for a thyroid disorder and assessed for other medical causes of her clinical presentation, but all laboratory tests were within normal limits. Based on later reports provided by her caretakers, some of her symptoms have improved since she has been living in the sanctuary. She has become more interested in other chimpanzees, including grooming, and the variability in her facial expressions has increased."
Personal stories of named individual chimpanzees (and other animals) abound and provide compelling narratives that are often difficult to read and force us to see these beings as individuals who truly have needed and continue to need our help (for information about the lives and deaths of the first 100 chimpanzees used in research see Lori Gruen's website).
Animals are "in" and numerous people all over the world are interested in just who these beings are and how we can reduce conflict and foster coexistence with them. And it's not just academics who are thinking about the dire and urgent situation worldwide. For example, I was pleasantly surprised to see an editorial called "The empathy of apes" in a newspaper from a small Colorado town the day after the Arcus Foundation's meeting ended. There also was a recent story about the generosity displayed by chimpanzees.
The situation is urgent. Everyone concerned with the plight of animals has to talk with (not at) one another. We can't continue to close our senses and hearts to what other animals want and need from us right now, not when it's "more convenient". As we harm and lose animals we harm and lose ourselves. We must expand our circle of moral concern for their and our benefit.
Everyone can make a difference in the lives of great apes and other animals. Please write your representatives expressing your concern and get involved in local and other projects. The animals need all of us and depend on our goodwill and compassion. We need international efforts and sensitivity to different cultures that are grounded in real world scenarios. Grassroots activism is a central component for making the lives of animals better and everyone counts! Reaching out to children is critical as they are the ambassadors for a more compassionate and peaceful future. Let's get to it.

Last week, as the rainless wind began drying the landscape into what many predict will be a crisp by summer's end, many parts of western Montana were experiencing a whirlwind of another kind. Loggers rallied in Eureka to protest Forest Service bureaucracy; homebuilders were buying thousands of board feet of cheap Canadian lumber; and the wheels began to turn on the debate over a proposed gargantuan salvage logging sale in the Bitterroot National Forest. Though on the face of it these events bear no connection, a broad view shows that the caprices of the timber market, combined with some of the driest forest conditions on record, have created a complex twist of fate. These forces are threatening to make this summer's salvage logging in the Bitterroot, an operation that the Forest Service proposes will remove an astronomical 130-180 million board feet of timber from fire-affected areas, the center of an increasingly hot controversy.
One key to understanding this controversy is a quick primer on the current economics of the timber industry. Simply put, if you want to build anything out of wood this summer, there's never been a better time to buy than now. A glut of timber on the world market has pushed the price of lumber to Depression Era lows, brought about by the tariff-free trade mandated under NAFTA, and increasing competition in the international lumber market. Canada, for instance, now exports 80 percent of its wood products to the U.S. at prices mills here can't begin to compete with. In fact, the U.S. Department of Labor's NAFTA Transitional Adjustment Assistance program concluded in a March report that Canadian trade was the single biggest factor in the closure of 100 independent mills across the nation; closer to home, it was also a clear detriment to Montana operations like Pyramid Lumber in Seeley Lake—which nearly shut its gates for good this spring—and the Owens and Hurst mill in Eureka, in whose honor last week's rally was held.
But the blame, both timber and environmental interests agree, is not Canada. The real culprits, they say, are multi-national corporations that can afford to flood the market with cheap timber, cutting wherever labor and the logs are cheapest.
Jim Olsen, former head of the grassroots group Friends of the Bitterroot, describes the financial impacts of timber activity this way: "There's really two sides to this. There's the giant timber corporations with their boards of directors and their stockholders and their profits, and then there's the local perspective, which is much more emotional: How much of this local resource is going to stay in the community for the benefit of people who live here?"
Pyramid Lumber owner Gordon Sanders, not completely blind to the irony of last week's Log Haul in Eureka, just two miles from the border of the country that is taking business from mills like his, echoes Olsen's sentiments. "You have to ask who's better suited to conduct business in small communities," Sanders says, "multinational corporations, who are able to lose millions of dollars and make their decisions based on profit for stockholders, or smaller companies, who somehow have the wherewithal to lose money and still put their assets on the line every day."
While both Olsen and Sanders would like to see legislation mandating that a larger portion of forest resources remain in nearby communities, there's quite a lot of ground to cover between the two camps before anything like a united front could be presented. These differences are contrasted sharply when the topic of salvage logging in the Bitterroot comes up.
Olsen questions the ecological and economic viability of salvage operations, and points to the recent history of logging in Ravalli County as evidence. "Take what happened with the Sula State Forest," he says. "Twenty-two million board feet were cut from there over the winter, and we asked the State Land Board for assurances that at least some of that resource would stay in the community. They brushed off the idea, saying to do so would violate state commerce laws, and NAFTA, and whatever else they could come up with. Well, the upshot is that people from Ravalli County who want to work in the woods got little or no opportunity, a good portion of the logs didn't even stay in the state, and a lot of post-fire recovery habitat is gone for good. All that for six months of work?"
Olsen also points out that less intensive state environmental reviews of timber sales have left Montanans footing the bill in the Sula State Forest for slash piles that haven't been cleaned up and—despite reassurances from Gov. Judy Martz—no plan in place for replanting cut-over areas. Most disturbing to Olsen was his group's realization that the promises the State Land Board made to only cut burned timber proved to be false.
"There was green slash all around the area we toured, and we kept getting reports of healthy trees winding up on trucks," he says. "If forest managers are planning on doing the same job with the national forest they did with Sula, we all might as well move someplace else, because there won't be much forest to stick around for."
Sanders, for his part, seems ambivalent about rolling back environmental laws in the name of profit, though he seemed a little less sure of their role in a local economy. "One area we are looking to environmental groups for is a level playing field globally," he says. "What I mean by that is, some of these countries—Russia, Chile, even Canada—are cutting without regard for the environment or even the welfare of their loggers. To the extent that we can get some of those protections in place, we support the efforts of environmentalists."
Closer to home, Sanders is a little less supportive of efforts like Olsen's in the Bitterroot. When asked if he thought dumping 130-180 million board feet of timber on an already saturated timber market might only hasten the advantage large companies have over mills like Pyramid, Sanders demurs. "I think what it will do is create an economic incentive for smaller companies to be innovative and get the most value out of the raw materials they get," he says. "Processing small-diameter material is one possibility. And as far as Sula is concerned, the logs we were able to get out of there over the winter were really what helped us make the decision to keep our doors open. If you remember, last fall there was some question as to whether or not we would be around."
Given the choice between having small independently owned mills and having a chance at full recovery from last summer's fires, Olsen and his Friends of the Bitterroot are heading for the trees. On Tuesday, May 22, a consortium of environmental groups presented the Forest Service with an alternative to salvage logging, which featured timber harvest in residential, urban-forest interface zones, some cutting in more natural areas, and a whole lot more watershed protection, replanting and set-aside than any plan the Forest Service is currently considering. Whether or not timber interests or the Forest Service take the plan with more than a grain of salt may decide if last week was as friendly as things ever got in the debate over salvage logging in the Bitterroot.

Let it never be said that minor league teams let a chance for a publicity stunt to pass them by. Our latest entry comes from the Inland Empire 66ers, the Advanced-A affiliate of the Los Angeles Angels. It would seem someone in their marketing department must be a regular listener to Joe Posnanski's podcast because when they heard guest Bob Costas wax poetic about his dream of working as a play-by-play announcer for a minor league team, they jumped all over it: The Inland Empire 66ers are officially extending an offer to legendary sports announcer, Bob Costas, to become the Voice of the Inland Empire 66ers for the 2013 season. In a recent interview with sports columnist, Joe Posnanski, Costas stated that he still had a dream of calling an entire season of minor league baseball. According to Posnanski, "He (Costas) has often talked about a dream -- one he insists he still has, even after hosting all the Olympics and winning all the awards -- of broadcasting a full season of minor league baseball somewhere. The draw for him is the preparation, it is getting to know all the players and the manager, it is working through the daily stats and stories, it is about immersing himself in baseball." Their offer had the slightest smack of legitimacy right up until they said Costas could have "all the hot dogs, soda, and popcorn that he wants." So, there's that. Naturally, they've also carpet-bombed Twitter all day with their #HireCostas hashtag. There is clearly no way that Costas would ever accept this offer. However, it does make the mind wonder if he ever would settle into such a gig once he enters the twilight of his broadcasting career. What would be more enjoyable way for a baseball fan to enjoy retirement than by spending your evenings calling games for the local minor league club? Being so far removed from the spotlight of MLB, someone like Costas could focus solely on the beauty of the game at-hand without worrying about the big money, big personalities and big media of the big leagues. If you really think about it, it isn't that much different than what former national broadcaster Dick Enberg is now doing as the play-by-play man for the San Diego Padres, only moreso. So, sure, this is all one big joke now, but who is to say that in fifteen years that Costas won't retire from NBC and set up shop in the booth for the Brooklyn Cyclones or Staten Island Yankees?

Major US Epidemics
By Maureen A. Taylor
A timeline of the epidemics that raged throughout US history.
Epidemics raged throughout US history. Early on, an infectious disease outbreak might be confined to a city or two, with ports particularly susceptible due to passengers on arriving ships. Many areas saw the same disease return year after year. But as Americans moved westward and became more mobile, epidemics were more widespread. Indian tribes, lacking the immunity some Europeans had, died in great numbers. These are major US epidemics and their geographic areas of concentration; you'll find full lists at
BJ's Genealogy Site

Cholera is contracted by coming in contact with food or water contaminated by infected human waste. It first appeared in the United States in 1832 as farmers, manufacturers and towns disposed of human, animal and industrial waste in waterways. Outbreaks occurred throughout the nineteenth century. In 1849, an epidemic spread up the Mississippi River, killing 3,000 in New Orleans and 4,500 in St. Louis. An 1854 outbreak in Chicago killed 3,500. In 1866, 50,000 Americans died of cholera.
The HBO miniseries "John Adams" by David McCullough has a memorable scene in which Abigail Adams and her children are vaccinated against smallpox. The doctor takes fluid from pustules on a sick man and puts it into a wound he's created on the arm of each child and Abigail. Submitting to that was a brave act. Epidemics of the disease continued, with an 1837 Great Plains outbreak supposedly caused by a hand on an American Fur Co. steamboat.
Smallpox entered the British Colonies with the earliest settlers and devastated Indian populations. In 1796, English physician Edward Jenner discovered that immunity to smallpox could result from exposure to cowpox (a milder variety of the disease affecting cattle) and began experimenting with vaccinations. Newport, RI, doctor Benjamin Waterhouse was the first in the Colonies to use Jenner's inoculation, administering it to his son July 8, 1800. In 1810, Sylvanus Fansher earned about 5 cents a person to vaccinate more than 4,000 people in the City of Providence—the first municipality in the state to support public smallpox vaccination. Successful vaccination campaigns led to the World Health Organization certifying the eradication of smallpox in 1979.
Typhoid fever
As with cholera, contaminated food and water also contributes to typhoid outbreaks. In the 19th century outbreaks were common, especially among individuals who ate raw seafood. 1891, the typhoid death rate was 174 per 100,000 people in Chicago.
Typhoid can be transmitted from a carrier to another person through food handling. The infamous Typhoid Mary, an Irish immigrant identified in 1907 as a known carrier who refused to stop working as a cook is closely associated with dozens of cases and three deaths. She died in 1938 in forced quarantine. Vaccination and antibiotics have made Typhoid rare in developed countries.
Yellow Fever
Health professionals now know that mosquitoes spread yellow fever, and the malady isn't contagious between humans—not so for earlier generations. The bug killed whole families swiftly and horribly, causing fever, chills, nausea and internal bleeding. A 1793 outbreak struck Phildelphia; New Orleans was hit in 1853; Norfolk, Va. in 1855 and Memphis in 1878. From 1882 to 1889, yellow fever defeated French efforts to build a canal in Panama. The disease causes an estimated 30,000 deaths every year in unvaccinated populations.

Road: M1 between J35 and J36
Location: Chapeltown, Sheffield, South Yorkshire
Grid reference: SK357981
See also: Hesley, Sheffield
The land hadn't been prepared for the services and the northbound onslip still has a golf course between it and the rest of the site and a good portion of it is dense woodland. The two south-facing 'ghost sliproads' have since been put to use by connecting them to a new local junction, M1 J35a, which would have destroyed all other potential evidence for this once-planned service area. Around this time barriers were put across the two remaining 'ghost sliproads' to prevent them being used as lay-bys.
Other Uses
Although it all fits the bill, there is no hard evidence to suggest that this ever was planned as a service area. A junction similar to the current J35a was planned in the 1970s to form the eastern end of the M67. It's not clear whether this was the original (and possibly only) plan for the site, or whether the services and junction were planned to be integrated.
A new MSA has been more recently proposed two miles south.

What a great week to start writing a blog about the contribution our Volunteers make!
I'll be honest, there are so many 'weeks' attributed to one cause or another that quite often they pass me by. But Volunteer Week is a real chance for all of us who work with Volunteers to showcase and highlight the work they do. It's not just a hashtag on twitter!
I work with Volunteers at Ironbridge Gorge Museum Trust. A lot of Volunteers. I'd find it difficult to choose just one or two to put in the spotlight – and on the whole, they tend to eschew fame and notoriety. So all I can do, is say an enormous thank-you to them all. That's the 298 regular Volunteers on our books, the 200+ Corporate Volunteers, and the 100 or so event Volunteers from, for example, the Police Cadets or the ATC, who between them gave 35000 hours in 2013! THANK YOU ALL!
But it has to go further than that I think. The Museums and Heritage Sites in this country wouldn't be here today without the help of Volunteers. This applies to Heritage Railways, like Talyllyn in Wales, which began in its current form in 1951 solely with the contribution of volunteers. This applies to us at Ironbridge, before we were the Museum Trust we are today – at Blists Hill Open Air Museum in 1967. This applies to countless Industrial Heritage sites across the UK. Volunteers got them up and running, and Volunteers open the doors each day. Saying 'thank-you' doesn't quite seem enough.
So a group of us who treasure the contribution of Heritage Volunteers in our own organisations have started to meet, to work out how we can best say thank you and recognise nationally, the enormous gift given by this band of thousands. And we think we've got it. The Heritage Volunteering Charter. This will establish eight key areas of best practice for managing heritage Volunteers, and between us, we'll work out the best way to roll this information out to every single organisation in Britain working with Volunteers in our sector. From HLF to the tiniest local History Museum, we want to reach you all!
We are called the National Heritage Volunteering Advisory Body, and it's really important that you join us on the journey, rather than meet us at the destination. We need your input, your advice and of course, your company. Help us say thanks in the best way we can…

I have been pondering the above stump blind for the past three or four years......well, it's on my mind again!
What do you folks think? Ever seen one in action? I goota be straight withya, I think it is very adaptable to all sorts of hunting situations including open fields, along streams/ponds and even in the salt marshes. I have sent for the darn catalog from G&H again and have asked them to include current pricing. I want to be sure it is workable for at least two hunters comfortably (there are add-on panels to increase diameter) and I want it to be priced affordably.
The light is green!

The Hollywood actor will play Bobby Gould in a revival of Speed-the-Plow which will run from January to April at the Old Vic where he is artistic director.
Spacey said that he would appear in the entire run, after disappointing some fans by taking a break during The Philadelphia Story last year to fulfil an earlier commitment to film Superman Returns. "I will never take time out from a production again. My single and total focus is the Old Vic," he said.
Speaking from New York where he is appearing in the Broadway transfer of this year's hit, A Moon For The Misbegotten, he said he had always regarded Speed-the-Plow as "a really good play. I hope to underscore what a good play it is".
Sam Mendes, who directed Spacey in his Oscar-winning film American Beauty, plays a major part in the Old Vic's new season. An adaptation of Pedro Almodovar's film, All About My Mother, has been made with Mendes's production company and the British director will also direct two Shakespeare plays.
It is the first time Almodovar has permitted the production of a major play based on one of his films in nearly 20 years. The Spanish director, who took part in a workshop at the Old Vic last year, said: "The characters I had created for the film did not yield an inch of their nature, yet fitted the stage perfectly."
After the success of Ian McKellen as Widow Twankey, Stephen Fry has written a pantomime for this Christmas. Fry said: "I've tried to remember that for many of the children who come it will be their first Cinderella. Pantomime should be the beginning of a never-ending love affair with theatre. Oh yes it should."
The season will continue with Speed-the-Plow and conclude with Mendes directing Stephen Dillane as Hamlet and in The Tempest.
Spacey said he was pleased
Mendes wanted to present such "big epic work" at the theatre. He added:
"When you look at the breadth of the season, it is in many ways what I have been talking about wanting to get at the Old Vic since the beginning. I've always said it would take three or four seasons to find our footing as a company and find momentum.
"We're still a fledgling company. But with Moon and The Entertainer, which has just closed, and [the forthcoming] Gaslight, it's a really strong period for us."
A Moon For The Misbegotten has turned a profit on Broadway for the Old Vic which receives no public subsidy. It closes in New York on 10 June, the day Spacey's co- star Eve Best discovers whether she has won a Tony Award.
The theatre has also secured a new sponsor. Adityal Mittal, the son of the steel magnate and Labour party donor Lakshmi, is underwriting £12 seats for young people. Spacey was introduced to the Mittals by Bill Clinton who also supported a benefit evening for the Old Vic in New York.

No additives, chemicals or preservatives. Gluten-free and 100 per cent natural. These buzzwords help our search for simple, straightforward food or drink that provide nutritional benefits.
Equally important, though, is the desire for pleasing flavour.
Herbs satisfy the palate, titillate the senses with their aroma, and add a unique dimension to any outdoor space. One of the oldest ingredients in the world, herbs have been used as both medicine and food. Normally associated with warm, dry Mediterranean gardens, many herbs thrive in our Prairie summer climate. Think beyond parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme. The edible world of herbs promises far more than just culinary uses.
In need of a lift? Pinch off the flowerhead of wild chamomile, which infuses the air around it with the essence of pineapple, and indulge in a little therapeutic aromatherapy.
Common ailments? Recipes abound for herbal creams, salves and massage oils that can be prepared in your kitchen. Yarrow (Achillea millefolium), for example, is attributed with natural anti-inflammatory and astringent properties and has been valued for centuries as an herbal remedy. A proven mosquito repellant, all parts of the yarrow plant have been used either for their medicinal actions or in soothing preparations.
In the case of mint (Mentha arvensis) which is high in volatile oils, the aerial or above-ground parts are famed not only for their aroma but also as a digestive remedy.
The Boreal Herbal - Wild Food and Medicine Plants of the North by Beverley Gray, a boreal herbalist and aromatherapist who makes her home in Whitehorse provides a fascinating look at herbs that are used for food and medicine. Gray includes more than 200 recipes for tinctures, flower essences, topical treatments and more.
Why not be self-sufficient and convert a flower bed or your patio or balcony into a productive space by growing your own edible herbs?
The gourmet aspect of herbs entices us with regional flavours that not only suit our tastes but can also save a prepared dish from suffering the fate of blandness.
Last summer, I grew Shiso (Perilla frutescens), an Asian culinary herb belonging to the mint family, as the thriller in one of my containers. It's large, cinnamon-scented deep green leaves with reddish-purple undersides can be used as wraps or in salads.
In our short growing season, shiso grows to a height of one metre. It's sturdy stems and strong, upright habit make it a decorative ornamental in the landscape, attracting both curiosity and admiring comments from visitors.
The diverse flavours of basil make it one of the most popular herbs for growing in beds or patio containers.
From classic Genovese-style basils to Greek and French basils or unusual basils such as Siam Queen Thai Basil, which has a spicy anise-licorice aroma, to Mexican basils such as yerba buena or Indian basils like Ocimum sanctum with hot, spicy flavour, the challenge is in deciding which ones to grow.
Purple Ruffles Basil, an All-American selection, for example, combines heavily ruffled, fringed purple leaves with pinkish-purple flowers and a slight clove scent and flavour. Perfect for making vinegar or pesto or combine it with flowering annuals for interesting contrast in your borders or pots.
Dave Hanson, owner of Sage Garden Herbs, has a personal favourite: Aussie Sweetie, a non-flowering sweet basil with a slight cinnamon taste, bushy growth habit and a citrusy fragrance reminiscent of sweet clove. Come fall, Aussie Sweetie, unlike many other basils grown outdoors for the summer, can be transferred indoors and overwintered under lights (full-spectrum T5 lights or compact fluorescents).
Now is an excellent time to start many of your herbs indoors. Sage Garden Herbs carries the largest selection of certified organic seed in Manitoba. Wait until early June to direct seed herbs such as basil, cilantro and dill. Just as quality soil is critical to healthy annuals and perennials, nutrient rich soil with good drainage and aeration is a must for healthy herbs.
On a visit to his parents in Victoria, Hanson was introduced to a product called Sea Soil and after conducting his own trials, was sold on its benefits and today uses it religiously as a component of the growing medium for all of his plants. With only two ingredients -- fish and forest fines -- Sea Soil adds nitrogen, phosphorus, micro and macro nutrients as well as trace elements. Forest fines consist of mainly of bark, forest soils, and needles. Mixed with fish and composted for a period of two years, Hanson describes the end result as a robust soil.
"We add 20 per cent Sea Soil to all of our containers and then a mix of coir, peat moss -- whatever best suits the particular plant," said Hanson.
Hanson recommends a sunny spot in your garden for growing herbs. "Herbs such as parsley, sorrel, cilantro, chervil, lovage and French tarragon will grow well in part sun."
Naturally, when you are planning to eat what you grow, avoid chemical sprays. A good strong spray of water works for most pests but generally, there are few pest problems when you are growing in containers. The strong aromatic oils in herbs tend to discourage pests.
Hanson has some suggestions for harvesting herbs. "Herbs with leaves that branch out from the stem (basil, mint, oregano, etc.) benefit from being harvested frequently. For bushy growth, cut them at the leaf intersection points. Plucking the leaves results in spindly plants."
Rosemary, on the other hand, is a woody herb and should only be harvested at the stem tips. "Cutting deep into old wood causes very slow regrowth," advises Hanson. "In the case of leafy herbs such as parsley, though, cutting them to the base in mid-summer stimulates a vigorous late summer flush."
Incorporating leafy herbs with flowering annuals can make a very attractive combination. Thai basil with its purple flowers is striking with Maayan dark orange calendula.
Calendula is a multi-purpose herb. Known for its skin-healing properties, it is also a beautiful summer-time garnish. Simply pull off the petals and with a flick of the wrist and scatter them across a plate.
Herbs and tea go very well together. Tea is a beverage made from tea leaves (the leaves of Camellia sinensis). Tisane is a herbal tea, consumed for its medicinal properties. Shelley Walker, a master gardener and board member of the Herb Society of Manitoba, makes her own tea from an assortment of plants she grows in her garden.
"There are two methods," describes Walker. "Infusion is the process of steeping leaves, petals and flowers in water. In decoction, the root, seeds or bark are soaked in water."
A basic infusion or decoction might use only two ingredients: dried herbs or dried roots and boiling water. Walker cautions that herbs should not be allowed to stand in water for more than a day or two. Some herbs can release tannic acid, good for curing leather but not for delicate stomach linings. Gray suggests drinking mint tea in the morning to clear a tired mind. For Walker, any mint leaf will do but chocolate mint is her favourite. Gray suggests adding fresh or dried flowers, seeds, fruits, or shredded roots. A longer steeping time is required for herbal infusions. "A herb's nutritional properties are better absorbed and its therapeutic purposes are more effective when taken as an infusion," said Gray.
Bob Krul, owner of Cornelia Bean on Academy Road, has experienced the nourishing taste of herbal teas in his travels the world over. Inspired by the desire to educate tea lovers about the beneficial properties of herbal loose-leaf teas, Krul has an interest in growing and blending his own herbs here in Manitoba.
"We make beautiful berries here, some of the best in the world," said Krul. "In the springtime, after a restful dormancy period, the first harvest of fruit is sweet with a robust and delicious flavour profile."
Krul encourages tea lovers to plant groupings of herbs and hardy fruit and to try steeping combinations in a cup.
Whether your preference is for herbal teas or tinctures, vinegars, topical treatments or essential oils made from herbs, get to know this diverse plant. You will feel better for it.

The Merseyside club ended the home side's nine-game unbeaten run at Craven Cottage this season, scoring two late goals after a Bryan Ruiz strike looked to have leveled it.
Everton won for the first time at Craven Cottage with a 3-1 victory over Fulham in a lively encounter on Sunday.
Fulham will feel aggrieved to have come away from the game with nothing after two late strikes from Jack Rodwell and Louis Saha cancelled out an impressive debut goal from Bryan Ruiz.
It was Everton which began the game in a more fluent fashion and it was rewarded with a goal just two minutes into the match.
Fulham captain Danny Murphy was careless on the ball, Jack Rodwell capitalized and did a neat one-two with Greek striker Vellios before laying off Drenthe, on loan from Real Madrid, who smashed his strike left-footed into the bottom right-hand corner.
Everton's pressure did not subside either and it continued to see the lion's share of the ball, its next chance for a second goal coming on 11 minutes when a Leighton Baines cross from the right wing was headed over by omnipresent midfielder Rodwell.
Fulham started to spark to life soon after, but its chances were limited to long-range strikes from Steve Sidwell and former Liverpool left back John Arne Riise.
Drenthe was a threat all half, the Dutch winger's peppering of the goal, testing goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer.
At the other end, Tim Howard made a brilliant save to prevent Clint Dempsey drawing the Cottagers level 25 minutes in.
The ex-Manchester United keeper was the hero for the away side not long after too, when towering Fulham center back Brede Hangeland's header was dipping in until the American got his fingertips on the ball and tipped it over the bar.
Fulham continued to press and ended the half on top, Dempsey bending an 18-yard shot just wide of the right-hand post.
After the break the home side continued to hog possession, skipper Murphy and former Toffees forward Andy Johnson whipping in a number of crosses that suited their obvious aerial threat.
It took 10 minutes for Everton to shift out of second gear but soon enough the club was fighting for the ascendency. Striker Louis Saha, who replaced the largely ineffective and isolated Apostolos Vellios early in the second half, was caught marginally offside after breaking clean through the backline.
But it was Martin Jol's first substitution of the match that immediately altered the shape of the game – Ruiz came on for Murphy to score his first goal for the club he joined on transfer deadline day from FC Twente.
The 10.6 million pounds summer signing lobbed exquisitely from the left-hand side of the box over the defense and Howard to draw the home side level with 32 minutes remaining.
However, the goal seemed to stifle the Fulham attack and it rallied the away side. Leighton Baines fired a free kick over the bar, and Tim Cahill – who came off the bench to win the game in place of Neville – appeared to have been grappled to the floor in the box but no penalty was given.
Striker Louis Saha, who replaced the largely ineffective and isolated Apostolos Vellios early in the second half, forced Schwarzer to make a good save to prevent the team going behind again.
At the other end Fulham was hoping referee Lee Probert would point to the spot when defender Zdenek Grygera.
Everton was forced to defend frantically in the last few minutes before stoppage time, Phil Jagielka blocking Johnson's shot before Bobby Zamora's cross back into the box is hit by Ruiz at the Toffees keeper, and eventually cleared by Baines.
Seconds after Zamora inexplicably blasts over when gifted an open goal, substitute Saha gave David Moyes the much-needed victory against the run of play, dinking his shot into the bottom corner when one-on-one with the Fulham shot-stopper.
To cap the unlikely late win off, Rodwell scored Everton's third in stoppage time to give the away side only the second win at Craven Cottage in 11 attempts, his shot hitting the ground and bouncing beyond Schwarzer to propel the Toffees away from the looming relegation zone while leaving Fulham in the thick of it.

Is the slate deal going up in flames'
In a year rife with bad financial news, the film-finance world has seen its share of worrying portents. Though some financiers suggest that conditions have in fact been deteriorating for considerably longer, in the 12 months since the start of the global credit crisis the outlook has grown steadily worse for the kind of Wall Street-backed slate financing deals that have helped fund much of Hollywood's recent output.

About Admiral Sir John Leake
Sir John Leake (4 July 1656 – 21 August 1720) was an English Admiral in the Royal Navy and a politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1708 to 1715.
Leake was born at Rotherhithe, the second son of Richard Leake, Master Gunner of England.
Whilst a captain he distinguished himself in several engagements, especially on 28 July 1689, when he led the convoy that broke the barricading boom at Culmore Fort, thus lifting the Siege of Derry. During the War of the Grand Alliance, he fought at Bantry Bay (1689), Beachy Head (1690) and La Hogue (1692).
Soon after the War of the Spanish Succession was declared, Leake was appointed captain of HMS Exeter and sailed from Plymouth, 22 July 1702, with eight ships to Newfoundland, to attack the French fishing harbours and their ships at sea. In this expedition 51 ships were taken or destroyed. Of these, 16 were brought to England, 6 were sent to Lisbon, 5 were sold at St. John's, one was left there for the security of the harbour, and one other sent to France with the prisoners. The remaining 22 were burnt. He also had destroyed all French settlements at Newfoundland. Upon his return to England, Leake was made Rear-Admiral and offered a knighthood, which he declined. The following March he was promoted to Vice-Admiral.
In 1704 Leake was sent to the Mediterranean and took part in the assault and capture of Gibraltar under Admiral George Rooke. The next month he helped to repel a French counterattack, commanding the vanguard on HMS Prince George in the Battle of Vélez-Málaga. The next year, on 21 March 1705, he repelled a second attack on Gibraltar, beating Pointis in the Battle of Cabrita Point. The French and Spanish under Marshal Tessé gave up the siege after this defeat.
In 1706 the French tried to retake Barcelona, which had been taken by Sir Cloudesley Shovell and the Earl of Peterborough in September 1705. Shovell had returned to England, and Leake, who was left with a squadron in the Mediterranean, sailed to Barcelona and lifted the siege on 22 May. On the way back, he bombarded and captured Cartagena and Alicante.
Leake was made full Admiral in 1707 and he took Sardinia on 15 August 1708. On 29 September he landed Stanhope with forces from Barcelona who took the well-fortified harbour of Port Mahon on Menorca. This gave the allies a permanent all season base to dominate the Mediterranean, a strategic success of the first order.
In 1708, Leake was elected Member of Parliament (MP) for Rochester. He held the seat until 1715. He was made first lord of the Admiralty in 1710. On the accession of George I of England, he fell from favour and retired into private life.
Leake died at Greenwich aged 64 and was buried at Stepney church. He was described as a "virtuous, humane and gallant man, and one of the greatest admirals of his time."
Leake married Christiane Hill, daughter of Captain Richard Hill.
