|Tuesday October 28, 2003
This topic is now closed - this is what you said.
Firstly, as has already been stated below. If, in a country so accustomed to legal suits as the US is, nobody has succeeded in censuring Mr Moore on the grounds of defamation, it is pretty clear that his detractors cannot dispute his information. So we must accept that he is thoroughly researched, not the buffoon that is so obviously a part of his image.
Why are people so surprised by Michael Moore? He is, as the article points out, a journalist. Journalists always have and always will use facts as tools to justify their argument.
Steve Velegrinis
All I seem to read about these days is how voiceless the left is.
Paul Henry
To little girlie,
Andrew Dunn
Michael is one of the few people in the media of integrity. I wish we had someone like him in Australia. Someone who would test the duplicity of the incumbent federal government. Mor power to your arm., Michael.
Dougall Argylle
Andrew Dunn - What an arrogant, pompous, incorrect thing to say!! You refuse to accept my point of view, and I'm stupid?! Nice one, Pot.
Young girly.
How come conservative is now always expressed as neo-conservative by those who happen to have a different opinion?
Paul Henry
I always say the most convincing arguments are those that present both sides of the story and let the audience decide for themselves. Whilst both Stupid White Men and Bowling For Columbine were interesting and entertaining I felt that I was being spoonfed stuff that didn't always add up.
Paul Henry
I find the question poorly written. It presupposes that the two alternatives "a voice we need in our times" and "a self-promoting buffoon" are mutually exclusive. They are not.
Daniel Yeow
I'm currently reading Michael Moore's new book entitled 'Dude, where's my country?' and believe that if Moore's work achieves little more than to provoke even the most complacent among us to question the very state and functioning of our powerful capitalised nations, then he has accomplished moore than enough.
Jay A
Michael Moore is the conscience of America. Showing the rest of the world the difference between Americans and Government.
Michael Atkin
Gene Skinner, by more gifted intellectuals, I guess you mean Fisk, Chomsky etc. The web of self flagulating intellectualism they weave will only ever be appealling to the inbred bourgoise left I'm afraid. That market is drying up, so no cigar. up Oh my! all big businesses forge secret deals with each other and the govenments of the time for their own benefit and step on innocents while doing it. They fly around in balck helicopters ensuring the deals, yes yes then they pay off shock jocks to promote them and zzzzzzzz.....
John Herbert
John Taylor
david brent
He is great because he challenges the narrow-minded views of those so desperate to believe that the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer is the way things should be. It is very amusing reading all those neo-cons here kidding themselves into believing he is lying. How do you sleep at night? Mike Moore for President!!!
Moore is fantastic - no he is not as eloquent or articulate at Chomsky - but best thing about him - he is getting the youth of today interested in politics & government - regardless of his context if he makes one kid read/believe/or learn more hes done a good job
Natalie Ashton
A "self-promoting buffoon" sums up Mike Moore very nicely. He will twist any fact, distort any concept, and prevaricate his way through to the media attention and adoration he craves.

Menopause Syndrome
Menopausal healthcare program must consider the patient's hormone balance, body, mind, and spiritual care, as well as strength of the immune system.
Hot Flash Treatment
Acupuncture treatment is approved for improving the ovarian function to produce estrogen naturally. Herbal formula
Geng Nian Le
has been used in China for over 2000 years in order to help the women release the hot flash syndrome. It is also used as an anti-aging daily supplement.
Osteoporosis Prevention
Moxibustion along with herbs on the spinal and the hip area is a very effective prevention of osteoporosis. Herbal formula
Jing Gu Bao
has passed the clinical trial in China and on the market as a drug to treat osteoporosis. It is also made available for our patients.
Heart Condition Management
Women undergoing menopause are susceptible to high cholesterol, diabetes, and high blood pressure. Since these problems are closely related to hormonal changes, acupuncture and herbal treatment to balance the hormone will be helpful to manage a healthy heart. This treatment also eases the symptoms of insomnia, irregular heartbeat, palpitation, and panic attacks.
Dryness Control (hair, skin, vagina)
Da Bu Gao
for women is very useful for hair loss, skin dryness, and the burning, itching, and drying sensation in the vagina. It is also often used for facial and skin care, taken internally. Facial and body massage with herbal formula is also available in the office to treat the dryness syndrome.
Concentration and Memory Enhancement
Scalp acupuncture and acupressure are recommended for the menopausal patient to improve their concentration and memory. It is also effective for Alzheimer's Disease. Furthermore, foot reflexology combined with herbal soaking proves highly beneficial for the enhancement of one's concentration and memory.

A teacher at a Granite School District elementary school is facing a child abuse charge for allegedly hitting a student with her violin bow during a music class, according to court documents.
In September, an 11-year-old student at 2567 S. Main St. played his instrument out of turn. That is when the teacher hit the student on the right thigh with her bow. The student said the strike caused a little pain and left a mark.
Afterward, the teacher told him, "Sorry for hitting you, I was frustrated," the charges state.
The teacher was charged with one count of child abuse, a class A misdemeanor.

Barbie-Q: Murder Most Foul
When I smelled smoke I hung up on the colleagues, ran down the hall and started gagging on the billows and billows of smoke coming out of the microwave oven. The entire kitchen was a smoke-filled wreck.
I grabbed X, popped him in the lounge opened two windows, turned on the TV and then shut the door. I shut the kitchen door behind me, opened the giant window, grabbed the flaming Barbie and threw her right out the window where she flew in an ungraceful, smoky arc, crashing onto the patio below.
It stunk! The microwave was destroyed. I just slapped the door shut and turned on the cooker fan, and waved the smoke out the window. After 20 minutes of waving smoke, cleaning up the mess and unplugging everything, I rescued Barbie (who was finally smoldering but not on fire), wrapped her up (after taking the photo) and chucked her in the rubbish.
We aired the house out for two freezing hours. But after 45 minutes I felt really dizzy, lightheaded and nauseous. In fact, I had to lay down at one point. Apparently, melting plastic is toxic. I googled it - and naturally freaked out because the internet is a bad, bad place to self diagnose!
I called poison control at the NHS instead. The guy on the phone said, "Take your son and go to the nearest A&E immediately." YIKES.
We wrapped ourselves up on our burnt plastic smelling jackets and headed to the Royal Free hospital where were were for four hours. We have survived. But I probably have microscopic plastic fragments in my lungs which takes years to clear.
X was FINE. He jumped around like a wild animal let out of it's cage for the first time in 40 years. I was propped up by a chair feeling ill. Such fun!
We no longer have a microwave. I can't say that's a terrible thing. But Cate was NOT happy at the death of her Barbie. So if you see us at Toys R Us this weekend pursuing the Barbie aisle - you'll know why!

Bye Bye PTA
I've been gone a long time for good reason. I've been taking my life back.
After the dreaded Christmas Fair for the PTA I had a bit of a rough time. First, the core committee, for which I was co-chair, decided I had set the bar too high for them. They were not interested in having by-laws or structure. They did not think I needed to be a co-chair. I was told that I shouldn't speak about PTA business with other parents and that I should think of the PTA as a hobby. Silly businesswoman that I am - I thought a little structure, order and more people involved would make life easier. Alas, they were not interested. However, they'd love for me to stay and run all the events but needn't worry about the running of the PTA.
Yeah. I quit. Now I am a pariah at the school and basically ignored by one and all. I don't regret my decision as I was really unhappy with the whole thing. So now I have much more free time on my hands. That's great.
I did suffer through the norovirus and my birthday but I'm finally back on track and eyeing the gym again.
It feels great.

My Philosophy and Approach to Wellness...As an educator for over 12 years prior to going into private practice, I continue to bring my patience and love of education to each patient encounter. The most important diagnostic and therapeutic tool we have is not the latest MRI or PET scan or the most sophisticated blood tests or even the most innovative laparoscopic equipment. The most important tool in fighting disease and promoting healthy living is the doctor-patient relationship. Spending quality time with patients should be a necessity, not a luxury. In today's challenging healthcare environment where time is becoming increasingly scarce, I am able to give my patients the personalized care and service they need and deserve. Making time for you and putting you first are top priorities in my practice of medicine.

Off-Duty Cop's Brutal Beating Caught On Video By Cheering Witness
(John Del Signore) An off-duty NYPD officer was beaten to the point of unconsciousness outside a Queens diner early Sunday as a laughing witness cheered on the assailant and repeatedly declared, "That ni--a's dead!" Sergeant Mohammed Deen is currently in a medically-induced coma at Jamaica Hospital following the prolonged assault, which occurred at approximately 5 a.m. as his wife watched helplessly from inside their car.
NYPD Chief of Department Philip Banks III told the Daily News that Deen, an 18-year-veteran of Harlem's 32nd Precinct, got into a dispute with suspect Hayden Holder outside St. John's Express restaurant in Ozone Park. The conflict between the two men may have started at the nearby Maracas nightclub about a mile away. One Facebook user uploaded this sickening video of the assault. Warning: it is extremely graphic:

An Umbria undertaking: A luxury villa and a heavenly week in Tuscany's fine neighbour
I am sitting in a gazebo next to our large private swimming pool.
Andrea Bocelli is singing about finding his love in Portofino on the outdoor stereo system (there are powerful Bose speakers hidden in the shrubbery) while we enjoy a full-bodied chianti. The sky is blue, the sun is hot, God is in his heaven and all is very well with the world.
The rich are different from you and me, author F. Scott Fitzgerald famously observed. 'Yes,' replied fellow scribe Ernest Hemingway. 'They have more money.'
Take a seat: Villa Christina has plenty of room - it sleeps up to 18 people
Perhaps the more important distinction is that the rich can enjoy better holidays. We know that the well-off live in bigger homes and drive better cars - but, really, so what? When it comes down to it, a home is a home and a car is just a machine to get you to the shops.
But a holiday?
As Shakespeare almost remarked: holidays are such stuff as dreams are made on. And don't listen to Miley Cyrus, to quote a more contemporary sage, who says it's not where you're going that matters but how you climb there. Rubbish. The affluent know that the final destination is everything.
An easyJet flight is a journey which, like life, can be enjoyed by the rich and the not so rich. It's where the flight is taking you that marks you out. For example, when we boarded our plane at Bristol last September we were all going to Rome. But while most passengers were heading from the airport into the city by train, we were taking a hired car for a two-hour drive north up the A1 autostrada - Italy's 'Motorway of the Sun'. We were heading to our place in paradise.
I'm not exaggerating. How many holiday homes come with their own football pitch? From the checklist of its main features (seven bedrooms, home cinema, lavishly appointed kitchen, swimming pool...) Villa Christina's mini-soccer pitch effectively amounted to no more than a footnote.
Anyone for a game? Frank, having failed to convince Mrs Barrett to go in goal, heads for the football pitch
But it was this that I instantly photographed and tweeted as a symbol of the property's amazing style and luxury. This was a property that had absolutely everything, the photo said: in the tradition of Rod Stewart or the family Beckham, at the Villa Christina you could take your ease on your very own soccer pitch.
Sadly, the pitch was of little practical use. Unless Mrs Barrett had been keen to serve her time as either goalkeeper or penalty-taker (dammit, she wasn't), it was just me attempting to curl free kicks into the empty net to my own Coleman-esque commentary ('Gareth Bale! ONE-nil!!!').
Had I been the Earl of Grantham, I might have had a footman act as wily custodian of the old onion bag. The problem with luxury holiday homes these days is you can't always get the goalkeeping staff.
But just imagine Lord and Lady Grantham all on their own in Downton Abbey and you have some idea of our ultra-privileged situation in Villa Christina. Huge house, massive grounds and just the two of us to enjoy its undoubted charms.
While, blessedly, we were in a palace, the truth is that in this glorious part of Umbria - a spot approximately halfway between Rome and Pisa airports - you could be dossing down in a tent and it would still feel as though you'd slipped in through the Pearly Gates.
A quick hop over the border: The villa sits close to the famous Tuscan hilltop town of Montepulciano
Every morning as I gazed out at the lush, green, rolling hills - think a sun-baked version of the Cotswolds with vineyards and olive trees - I considered myself one of the luckiest people on Earth.
And so it should be wonderful, you might say, at a rental that starts from £5,786 a week. But with 18 sharing (the previous party had totalled 12 adults and six kids), this comes to a surprisingly modest £321.44 per head. The trick is to know 16 other people with whom you might wish to share a holiday.
And, boy, do you get bang for your bucks. There's a charming on-site Mr Fixit who took it upon himself to replenish the world's largest bowl of fruit in the kitchen (enough Vitamin C to restore a small country) and the regular services of a cleaner for whom nothing was too much trouble.
I even toyed with asking her to face a few of my penalty kicks.
I had been to Umbria before on brief days out from neighbouring Tuscany, but had never appreciated the subtle, alluring differences that make it such an attractive destination. While Tuscany boasts a crop of famous cities such as Florence and Siena, in Umbria the attraction is not so much famous sights but lovely small towns, slow life and good living.
One of the loveliest of the towns nearest us was Citta della Pieve, birthplace of the great Renaissance artist Perugino (the town's Oratorio di Santa Maria dei Bianchi boasts Perugino's Adoration Of The Magi).
Food for thought: Montepulciano is an excellent place to pick up supplies of Italian cheeses and wines
One of the better-known nearby hill towns is Montepulciano, just across the border into Tuscany, but very Umbrian in its understated elegance. The place is a magnet for food and wine lovers - it is renowned for its cheese, pici pasta, lentils, honey and wine, with Vino Nobile di Montepulciano reckoned by some to be the best in the whole of Italy.
The nearest big town is Perugia, a popular place for British teenagers who come to the university to learn Italian. It would be difficult to imagine a more agreeable place to study.
This city has a rich and often turbulent history that begins with the Etruscans - it was they who built the city wall and arch. Highlights include the sixth century Sant'Angelo church, built over a Roman temple, and the cathedral - an attractive mix of Gothic and Renaissance.
But perhaps the city's biggest claim to fame is as the home of Perugina chocolate - you can visit the factory. A Eurochocolate festival is held in October when the whole city is said to reek of the stuff. Ah, the sweet smell of success. But while there are endless possibilities for outings, it was genuinely difficult to stray further than Moiano, a village a mile or so from our villa.
This had Il Pozzetto, a restaurant so good and so cheap that it inspired thoughts of immediate emigration to Umbria just so that we could fill ourselves here on a regular basis.
Back through time: History abounds in Montepulciano's Piazza Grande, where the Palazzo Comunale rears tall
The nearest big town, with a railway station offering a fast service to Rome or Florence, was Chiusi. It's worth a visit not just for its big Familia supermarket but also for its extraordinary museum of Etruscan antiquities.
The Etruscans, who lived here before the Romans wiped them out, were, appropriately perhaps, particularly obsessed with tombs - the museum has several interesting specimens.
But it was hard to abandon the delights of the Villa Christina for even a quick trip to the shops. I had planned to devote at least a morning to tracking down the site of the famous battle of Trasimeno in which the Carthaginians, led by Hannibal (the general who came over the Alps with his elephants), defeated the Romans in one of the largest and most successful ambushes in military history.
When I walked to the top of the hill above the villa, I could gaze over Lake Trasimeno shimmering several miles away in the distance. I tried to imagine Hannibal and his elephants, but I was distracted by the cooking smells wafting up the hill. Hannibal was therefore set aside in favour of another extraordinary lunch at Il Pozzetto, where I yielded to the temptation of tiramisu.
Then it was back to the villa for a doze by the pool, followed by the picking of fat, ripe plums, and finally down to the home cinema in the basement for series four of Breaking Bad and a glass of Vino Nobile. Holiday life really does not get better than this.
Our one serious excursion took us 50 miles up the autostrada to Montevarchi and a Prada outlet store. By the 9.30am opening time, there was a long queue of Chinese tourists keen to embark on a mad shopping spree.
Fit for a medieval king: The exposed brick and vast sitting room at Villa Christina - and (right) its huge fruit bowl
When the doors were thrown open they proceeded to empty the shelves of discounted handbags - discounted, perhaps, but still expensive.
The Chinese are different from us: they have more money...

I'm awesome, yet too modest to say so. Complex without necessarily being "complicated". :) I like to think I have a pretty decent sense of humor and can cover the spread between WTF (see "what I think about" section below for an example) to business dinner appropriate.
Work in progress (I suppose that applies to me as well, but in this case I was just referring to this particular section). More to come...
I'm trying to find some more excuses to travel. I've got no qualms about going places on my own (and have quite a bit), but that doesn't mean I wouldn't enjoy some company now and then. :)
Maybe you should tell me so I have something to put in here. :)
Yes, I realize that's only one. See the above statement about favorites.
You chuckled even the slightest bit at anything here.
You think smart is sexy.
Also, please have a picture. I do. :)

Shakespeare Electronic Conference, Vol. 2, No. 261. Thursday, 17 Oct 1991.
Date: Wed, 16 Oct 91 10:04:47 EDT
Subject: 2.0257 Staging Shakespeare's Unstaged Scenes
Comment: Re: SHK 2.0257 Staging Shakespeare's Unstaged Scenes
Kay Stockholder says that added visual scenes do the audience's homework for
them and dilute the educative properties of Shakespeare. I could not disagree
If the power of art is to educate, then limiting education to the text (as
opposed to the performance) makes Jack a dull boy. In my production of Antony
and Cleopatra, the first scene was a montage of characters walking in the
streets of Rome (actually, I set it in NYC) to the music of carmina bhurana
(sp?). As stupid as this sounds, it set the tone perfectly for the rest of
the show, and subtly established a heirarchy among the character groups.
Visual images may augment the textual message, but even if they add something
completely different, they are still valid. I cannot emphasize enough that
concentrating on the language and not the play in its entirety will put the
audience to sleep because of its non-dramatic aspect. If language is really
the focus, do King Lear as a poetry reading!
And one more thing, if someone wants to kill the Porter, they may do so
out of sheer meanness. Perhaps the army marching from the forest is in a
blind anger, or Macbeth's paranoia grows out of hand, or the porter, like
Falstaff in 1HIV gets caught in a fight. Using the power of imagination
anything is possible. Perhaps not wonderful, but possible.

Balogh worried, having given it both barrels
Susie Balogh is in fine form in the run-up to today's trap event.
Photo: Ray Kennedy
While most Commonwealth Games participants would be hoping to come into their event in a rich vein of form, champion trap shooter Susie Balogh has a different take on matters.
The Olympic gold medallist has had such an impressive warm-up for the Games, she is now worried that she might not have kept her powder dry for today's first day of competition at the Melbourne Gun Club in Lilydale.
The Australian clay team competed in friendly competitions this week, with Balogh notching what she described as a "pretty massive" win. She had a similar experience four years ago in Manchester, where she eventually finished fifth in the double trap individual event and third in the pairs.
"I'm pretty happy, but I wouldn't say I'm feeling confident because I'm actually quite scared that I may have peaked too early," she said.
Balogh will compete today in the pairs trap event, in which a clay target is flung out at an unpredictable angle from almost under the shooter's feet. The shooter has one shot to bring the target down. In the pairs event, the scores of both shooters are added together.
In the double trap, which will be held on Sunday, two targets fly out on a fixed path and the shooter has to bring them down with two shots.
Unlike some sports at the Games, the competition in clay shooting is relatively strong. The two medals won by Australia in the shooting at the Athens Olympics Balogh's and Adam Vella's bronze in the trap and the medal won by India were all in clay shooting.
"In my field, there might be 12 ladies shooting the trap event, and there are going to be four or five of us that are in the top 10 of the world, so it's pretty hot competition " Balogh said.
"Anybody could win it on the day it's just how they handle the conditions."

Book Review: Eighty Days Amber by Vina Jackson
Published 11:33 am, Wednesday, February 20, 2013
Eighty Days Amber is the fourth book in the Eighty Days series. Readers of the previous books will already be acquainted with the main character of this one--Russian dancer Luba. This is her story, from how she ended up leaving Russia and moving to America, what events conspired to put her in a New Orleans club when Dominik and Summer were there, and how, finally, she came to bump into Summer again. It's a life story, really, but a much more interesting one than most.
Eighty Days Amber is not my favourite of this series, but I can't quite put my finger on why. There is certainly plenty of action, both of the sexual and cleaner kinds, and even the occasional bout of humour. Perhaps I just didn't engage with Luba as a character, I don't know. But regardless of this, I would still say give this book a read, especially if you've read and enjoyed the others, as it's a great insight into the world the characters inhabit, and ties up some of the loose ends that were no doubt deliberately left trailing in the previous novels.
Sexy, exciting, and interesting, Eighty Days Amber is another great addition to the series, giving us more information on the characters we've been introduced to so far, as well as a comprehensive backstory on Luba. Now onto Eighty Days White.

Troubled sports pay-TV channel Setanta won't be showing anymore Premier League games after its contract was cancelled.
The subscription broadcaster lost the right to show the matches after failing to pay the latest chunk of the £30m it owes the English Premier League.
It came as a possible rescue deal, that would have seen an American investor buying 51% of Setanta, fell through.
The rights to show the 46 live Premier League matches of 2009/2010 will now be auctioned to other TV companies.
Setanta is a subscription sports channel that pays lots of cash to show major events like American golf, rugby and boxing as well as English and Scottish Premier League football.
It's been having big money problems recently, which has left it struggling to pay sporting bosses the money it owes.
Setanta already owes the English Premier League more than £30m and the Scottish Premier League £3m, which has had a knock-on effect for some of the smaller clubs in the Scottish Premier League.

NEW YORK (Oct. 25)
A two-day national conference of the United Jewish Appeal, attended by about 1,000 Jewish leaders from communities in 44 states, will open at the Hotel Commodore here tomorrow. The first results of the U.J.A. nationwide special drive to raise $35,000,000 in cash during the last three months of this year will be announced at the parley.
William Rosenwald, national chairman of the special campaign who is also a national chairman of the U.J.A., today issued a statement declaring he was confident that the conference "would witness a great outpouring of cash in the roll call of the various communities" and that the total would come to many millions of dollars. He added that he based his expectation of a "sizeable and substantial" cash presentation on the fact that the emergency drive has been gaining momentum and has already enlisted the active participation of more than 3,000 communities.
The two-day parley, which will mark the mid-point of the drive, will be addressed by Sec. of Labor Maurice J. Tobin; Israel Ambassador Abba Eban; U.J.A. general chairman Edward M.W. Warburg; Jewish Agency chairman Dr. Nahum Goldmann; Mr. Rosenwald; U.J.A. executive vice-chairman Dr. Joseph J. Schwartz; and other American and Israeli leaders.

The Soapbox: Roger Ebert Might Not Have Been A Feminist, But I'll Miss Him Anyway
When I was in middle school, I was required to create a diorama illustrating a hypothetical synagogue sanctuary (as you do, at Jewish day school). All I remember about my project is that I glued a picture of Gene Siskel to one of the walls. My teacher rightly called this out for being inappropriately idolatrous, but in the moment, I'd thought that I'd been paying appropriate reverence to an important man. After all, Siskel was Jewish, he had just recently passed away, and, until his death, I watched him and Roger Ebert weekly on television. I loved movies and knew I wanted to be a filmmaker, so I valued the words of Siskel and Ebert as highly as any of the words I was reading in school. These men cultivated my already-growing passion for cinema, and I'm certain that their enthusiasm was a contributing factor in my eventual interest in writing and film criticism.
In the years that followed, I've paid attention to Ebert's ever-expanding body of work, and though I knew of his illness, I was shocked and saddened by his passing last week. I've now read plenty of articles praising him for his accomplishments and successes, and I can't disagree with anything that's been said. His writing was prolific, his persona was friendly, and he made the general public give a damn about film criticism. His absence will be felt by all who love movies.
Where I begin to disagree with the accolades, however, is the claim that Ebert was a feminist.
Now, I'm not saying he wasn't a feminist. I can't know whether he was or not because, to my knowledge, he never publicly self-identified one way or the other. Some have referred to him as a "stealth feminist," which may be a good way of putting it. But I do know that, at least in the later years of his life, he made certain comments that contradict my own views of what feminism means. These comments don't necessarily make him anti-feminist, but they need to be examined in discussions about his feminism.
Particularly Ebert's feminist contradictions are visible in his approach to depictions of women and violence onscreen. On the one hand, in 1980, he and Siskel devoted an entire episode of "Sneak Previews" to condemning violence against women in horror and thriller movies. Gratuitous violence against women is still a significant problem in film today, and one that is rarely discussed at length in mainstream venues, so the fact that Ebert and Siskel actively engaged in feminist analysis on television was groundbreaking.
On the other hand, 30 years later, Ebert wrote a negative review of Matthew Vaughn's "Kick-Ass," which appeared to blame the film's failings on the violent nature of the female lead. I can't blame Ebert for disliking "Kick-Ass" (I didn't like it either), but I fetl his problems with the film were misplaced. Rather than criticizing the film as a whole for its cartoonish violence and bleak worldview, he targeted his criticisms toward Hit-Girl (played by Chloë Grace Moretz), the 11-year-old girl who held her own against the male villains. "Kick-Ass" is hardly a feminist triumph, but it at least allowed a woman to be as aggressive and self-sufficient as the men, and had I seen the film when I was in middle school, I would have felt empowered by that image. I also would have been crushed to know that Ebert, a man I so admired, didn't believe that such a characterization was acceptable for a young lady onscreen.
On a personal level, Ebert's contradictions were evident in his approach to issues like abortion. Just last month in an essay about his Catholicism, he wrote that he was pro-choice but still (perhaps inadvertently) placed a higher value on an unborn child than on that child's mother:
"I support freedom of choice. My choice is to not support abortion, except in cases of a clear-cut choice between the lives of the mother and child. A child conceived through incest or rape is innocent and deserves the right to be born."
On the one hand, he stated that he was pro-choice, which I assume means he opposed the overturning of Roe v. Wade — which would permit the government to make reproductive choices for women rather than women themselves. On the other hand, his articulation of his personal views is judgmental of women who make choices with which he disagrees. It's one thing to understand that the option of choice needs to exist, but it's another entirely to recognize that, even in non-life-threatening cases, there are reasons why terminating a pregnancy may truly be the right decision. Either way, that's not a judgment call for anyone other than the mother in question to make. To be truly pro-choice is to trust the instincts of the women making the choice, which is a trust that doesn't come through when reading Ebert's words.
Again, I want to make it clear that I don't think that Ebert was necessarily anti-feminist. Rather, I'm uncomfortable assigning a label to him that he may not have wanted to adopt for himself, and I'm honestly not sure why some feminists are finding it so important to claim Ebert as one of our own. Would he not be worthy of celebration if he were deemed not quite feminist enough? Do his politics outweigh his artistic accomplishments?
Ultimately, I don't think it matters if Ebert was a feminist or not. I don't think that should necessarily be the litmus test for whether or not he was a valuable and influential voice in the world of film criticism. I think that some of his words were very feminist, while others weren't at all. In the end, I don't know which words more accurately reflected who he was as a person.
We'll never know for sure. But that's okay. He brought so much joy to so many moviegoers, myself included, that I'm comfortable leaving this particular question unanswered.

Knicker-dropping, spine-tingling, chest-heaving seduction success depends, by and large, on one thing. That thing is confidence. Confidence, not beauty, brawn or wealth, really qualifies an effective lover. Confidence, loud or quiet, always wins.
And often, it's the eyes that have it. For confidence, in other words, is but a Look.
Just one Look can say it all, one look is the look of love, and so forth, until ''good-looking'' takes on an entirely different meaning, seeking really does mean finding, and seeing binds strangers in the belief something special is possible. (They locked eyes from across the room/the rest, they say, is history).
But what happens when a good-look goes bad? What happens if your gaze repulses rather than attracts? Can staring deep into the limpid pools of your lover's face actually see you sink, not swim?
Actually yes – catching the wrong eye, even with the right intentions, can fell even the surest of swashbucklers.
So the question becomes when should you look, and how?
Before getting to the answer, let's first observe the science. A seminal study in 1989 found a correlation between concentrated, mutual gazes and feelings of romantic love. Subsequent research has also determined females are better at making eye-contact than males, thanks in part to lower testosterone levels - though infant males with super-high testosterone levels match the 'here's looking at you score' of their female counterparts.
Among other things, such research tells us that eye contact is a natural form of expression for women, and so-called alpha-men. Those of you with an evolutionary-biological bent will no doubt see reason here – those without will at least relate to lived experiences of these facts.
But, as ever, there's more to it than science – who hasn't heard of the Evil Eye? A concept that eloquently expresses the great influence some cultures believe lives behind our eyeballs; this is the same notion which gives rise to the ancient mythology of eyes as soul-windows - ocular oracles not to be, uh, overlooked.
Yet the idea of the Evil Eye also, importantly, reveals a dark side to the story of our peculiar seeing-machines. We know eyes – and their uses – relate to power both magnificent and terrible. We know this intrinsically, or because we've consumed the literature. Regardless, we know it, though there is great confusion as to how we avoid looking the wrong way, or staring when we shouldn't (particularly today, in a world where to see really is to believe).
And this is problematic, especially in a multicultural country such as ours, because there are many societies where making direct eye-contact is offensive, or where eye-contact between certain people is a grave taboo. Indigenous Australian civilisation abounds with such examples. And they are worth noting, as the Australasian Institute of Judicial Administration's 'Aboriginal Cultural Awareness Benchbook for Western Australian Courts' so eloquently points out.
Of course, we're more concerned with the letters of love than the law in this blog, so it is back to this sexy field we return. We know ''making eyes'' at people works when it comes to romance and attraction, but which people, and when?
In some respects, this is an impossible question to answer, for while we might make generalisations based on culture, we can't account for every individual. Some people relish focused gazes more than others, and some people are better at staring than most. Broadly, assuming the right time and place is picked, it is best to accompany any sort of eye-locking with an expression that says yes rather than no – a cheeky smile and open posture doesn't go astray.
What stands is that eyes are more than things we can see with. They are very powerful tools, tools that can be used for good or evil – and they should be a considered aspect of any effective lover's repertoire.
So, as it is Friday, and the weekend is here, and chances are you will confront eyes aplenty over its course, I ask: Are you a creepy-peeper, or have you got the Look all figured out?
When was the last time you dared look a handsome stranger in the eye? When was the last time you made eyes with someone across the room? Do you feel threatened or excited when your lover looks into your eyes? And could you stop someone in their tracks with but a glance...?

Ex-Bell City Manager Pleads Guilty To Federal Charges
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Disgraced former
Rizzo entered the plea in federal court to one count each of conspiracy and filing a false federal income tax return, according to the U.S attorney's office.
Rizzo became the face of a municipal scandal after it was revealed in 2010 that he was getting an annual salary and benefits package of $1.5 million while running the modest
He pleaded no contest in October to 69 counts of fraud, misappropriation of public funds and other charges after county prosecutors accused him of orchestrating a brazen scheme that drove
He's scheduled to be sentenced in March in that case and could be sent to prison for 10 to 12 years but is expected to serve about half of that time.
In the tax case, Rizzo acknowledged creating a corporation more than a decade ago to fraudulently claim losses on his income tax return, which reduced his tax exposure while running
The losses to the Internal Revenue Service between 2006 and 2010 totaled more than $300,000, authorities said.
Rizzo could face up to eight years in prison, according to a plea agreement filed last month that also calls for him to pay additional taxes and penalties.

Irene: Flood victims face tax dilemma
Four weeks after they gained the option of slashing taxes on property ripped apart by tropical storms, many municipalities still aren't sure if they want to take that step.
It's a choice between two bad options, local officials say: make flood victims pay full taxes on homes that may no longer even exist, or cut the assessments and suffer a major loss of tax revenue at a time when expenses are already higher due to the late-summer flooding.
One of the victims being asked to pay up is Bonnie Fewtrell, who returned to her property on Priddle Road in September to find nothing.
Her home was gone, along with a barn where she and her partner kept donkeys and chickens.
All our photos
From the farms of Schoharie County to the streets of the Stockade, our photographers captured the flooding in dozens of photos you can see by clicking HERE
Not long afterward, a school tax bill came in the mail with a deadline for full payment based on the property's value established months before.
"The land is gone. It's now creek bed," Fewtrell said, noting about 45 feet of her yard was washed away by the Schoharie Creek, swollen to historic proportions by Tropical Storm Irene.
"We were paying taxes and there wasn't anything left. At the end of the year here, we just got our [county] property taxes and I thought this is ridiculous, this is absolutely ridiculous," Fewtrell said Friday.
Fewtrell is one of hundreds of property owners who could either get some help under a state law or be ignored.
School district and local government boards are facing a difficult decision that needs to be made by next month: they can agree to help property owners with major flood-related losses by changing their assessments or they can ignore the state's Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee Assessment Relief Act.
The flood assessment relief act, signed into law Dec. 9, allows schools, towns, counties and other collectors of property taxes to change the assessments for taxpayers whose homes and properties lost at least 50 percent of their value in the storms.
For example, if a $150,000 house was reduced to an empty lot worth $20,000, the homeowner could be taxed on the $20,000 lot, rather than the $150,000 house — if the taxing entity agrees to the change. Otherwise, the homeowner must pay 2012 taxes on the $150,000 house that no longer exists.
As it stands now, people are being taxed based on their property assessments certified back in March 2011.
That was more than five months before places like the Priddle Road neighborhood in Esperance were reduced to piles of broken cinder blocks and skeletons of homes crushed up against trees.
Participation would mean providing a refund to those who already paid their tax bill.
Deadline looms
The law calls for participating entities to pass a resolution expressing their intent within 45 days of the bill's approval, meaning the deadline is Jan. 23.
The Schoharie Central School District's Board of Education could make a decision Jan. 18, one that holds repercussions for both flooded district residents and those unscathed, Superintendent Brian Sherman said.
There are about 1,030 district homes above the regular flood plain that could have sustained damage in the flooding, and it's unclear how many would qualify with a loss in value of 50 percent or more.
A worst-case scenario would mean as much as $1.7 million in tax revenue the district would have to refund, Sherman said, or as little as $500,000.
"Obviously we're going to lose revenue and we would have to give that money back," he said.
Officials are already anticipating a massive reduction in taxable value for next year in light of the loss in properties, making this decision particularly difficult because non-impacted residents "would have to pick up the difference," Sherman said.
The school district might be able to participate, though, if the Board of Education decides to tap into the district's tax certiorari reserve, he said.
The district has been saving money in the event it loses legal action filed by the Iroquois Gas pipeline company looking to reduce its assessment, and there's roughly $2.5 million in that account.
"Will it hurt? Absolutely. Is it good for our impacted families? Absolutely. The public's hurt. It is really hurt," Sherman said.
At the town level, Schoharie Town Supervisor Gene Milone said the flood assessment relief act is nothing more than "feel-good legislation" for the state government.
"They go and pass these kinds of bills with no financial support. How does the town compensate for the revenue loss? They're not saying 'here's a million bucks,' " he said.
"The towns can't absorb it, they just can't."
Milone said he doesn't have figures that would detail the impact of taking part in the relief act — he believes officials haven't bothered getting estimates due to the massive financial impact.
"We'll have to discuss it," he said.
Relieving taxes for flooded property owners in the village of Middleburgh would mean losing a "sizeable amount," Mayor William Ansel-McCabe said.
Tax revenue makes up about a third of the village's $750,000 budget, McCabe said, and giving flooded property owners a break would only mean asking remaining residents to fill in the gap.
"They're trying to help us any way they can, the ones that are still standing, so to speak," he said. "If you take anything away, it's going to increase our tax rate."
Schoharie County Board of Supervisors Chairman Harold Vroman said he hasn't yet heard much discussion about taking part in the act; he said he was contacting other supervisors to see if it might be discussed at the county board's next meeting Jan. 20.
Tough position
Assemblyman Peter Lopez, R-Schoharie, said he agrees the legislation puts hard-hit municipalities in a tough position.
But he said it's important to emphasize the flood assessment relief act was one of several measures approved Dec. 9 that provide important help for victims of flooding.
Also included in the package signed by the governor was $21 million for small businesses, farms and nonprofits that sustained damage but didn't get other financial help, as well as another $9 million for county-level flood mitigation and flood control measures.
He said the idea of letting local taxing jurisdictions change assessments mid-year wasn't well thought-out.
"You say we'll give local schools and governments the discretion to reassess properties and give money back … but what does that mean for a school or a county or a local government that's in the middle of their budget year and doesn't have reserves? It doesn't have the money to give back. What do you do then? That's really the issue on this piece," Lopez said.
Lopez said he's working on legislation that would require the state to free up some money to help local governments and schools fill in the gaps if they decide to participate in the flood assessment relief act.
"The total package was absolutely vital," he said of the bill that included the flood assessment relief act.
"But it's only half of the equation. You give property taxpayers the break. That's good. But it didn't finish the job by helping hold harmless schools, towns and villages who have no other revenue and now are given an option that's really not an option," Lopez said.
For Fewtrell, who has lived with a neighbor for four months now, it's all about "belt-tightening."
"Everybody has had to tighten their belts. We lost everything, absolutely everything but our own lives. So many people in Schoharie, their house may still be standing but they can't live in it yet. We're all expected to pay full property taxes when we're homeless. It just doesn't make any sense to me when there's this option," she said.

It's a complex Riesling with apricot, honey, spice, clove, floral and citrus characters – a real medley of interesting flavours….. It gives a nod in the direction of Alsace.
The spring of 2009 was one of the warmest ever recorded so the vines got off to a good start with an early bud burst. Late spring and early summer, however, were unseasonably cool and cloudy, sufficiently slowing the development of the grapes to cause us concern. The skies then cleared and we had three to four months of unbroken sunshine. This enabled us to leave the fruit on the vine to attain excellent maturity and ripeness. Good diurnal fluctuation, warm days yet cool nights helped retain excellent natural acidity. Some noble botrytis developed late in the season, which has given the wine extra fullness and concentration.
The outcrop of land on which these were grown consists largely of weathered stones. Millions of years ago these were shorn from the high mountain peaks of the South Island's Southern Alps by an ice-age glacier, which deposited them in selected sites in the Waipara Valley. Our vines, which are up to a quarter of a century in age, have roots that can penetrate deeply into the mineral rich, stony soil and allow this very individual terroir to express itself in the wine.
We selected only the best riesling grapes to go into this wine. They were immediately pressed and the juice, which was purposely left a little turbid, fermented slowly over the winter at low temperatures, helping it retain its rich, fruity characters. A portion underwent spontaneous, natural fermentation, without the addition of yeast, in old, large barrels to give the final blend extra complexity and richness.
On release the aromas and flavours suggest lemons, limes, apples, greengages and nectarines. On entry it seems deceptively light, but quickly expands to fill the mouth with impressive fruit concentration and depth. There is a spine of mouth tingling minerality, which comes from the soils, that flows throughout the wine and draws out its lingering aftertaste. With careful cellaring over the next 5 or 6 years, this wine should develop a range of other characters and complexity.
It's a complex Riesling with apricot, honey, spice, clove, floral and citrus characters – a real medley of interesting flavours….. It gives a nod in the direction of Alsace.
"…The wine is smooth in texture and there is considerable power and drive. The alcohol and lacy acidity are balanced, and the wine has excellent proportion, the dense core unfolding succulent citrus and exotic tropical fruit flavours on a very long and sustained finish. This is a full and substantial dryish Riesling with citrus, marmalade and honied flavours, showing drive, power and balance." .
Very rich-smelling nose of citrus and tropical fruits: mango, guava and papaya. Some botrytis-induced complexity on the nose, too. The palate swells impressively with a tropical flourish before finishing crisp and clean with a vibrant, lively acid line.
'An evocative name for a delicious wine. This full-bodied "dry" Riesling from the Waipara Valley is actually off-dry, but it's none the worse for that. This is exotic and rich, with old vine complexity and flavours of lime, peach and nectarine. It's especially good with spicy food, but is also delicious as an aperitif.'.
From Waipara riesling supremos Pegasus Bay, comes this amazing opulent and intense example with a shimmering citrus and mineral salt character coursing through its lush palate of honey, marmalade, peach and lime oi.
"The Donaldson family offers an exotic range of personalities in their iconic business, and this wine reflects this range beautifully … the palate is fleshy, compact, intensely long, with incredible concentration and complexity a world apart from many clinically clean Rieslings in the market place; this wine is spectacular and will give pleasure for many years to come."
"The bouquet is complex … the palate weighty, fresh and intense … finely balanced acidity and a minerally, lasting finish. A highly distinctive wine … it's a top candidate for the cellar … This is a complex, funky, layered Riesling."
"… Medium bodied, dry and crisp, it offers plenty of citrusy fruit in the mouth and a long tangy finish."
"… this has very attractive and mouthfilling flavours … The textures are rounded and soft … The underlying acidity becomes apparent on the very long, sustained finish, adding lusciousness to the complex fruit and honeyed flavours … This is a complex, funky, layered Riesling."
"… It gives a beautiful nose … Concentrated, complex flavour … and the finish is long. Approachable now, it should develop wonderfully over the next 6-8+ years."
Top 12 NZ Rieslings – "Big, bold characterful wine that couldn't come from any other winery. ... this concentrated and complex example totally seduces me ... Very classy wine ... It has all the flavour and weight of a sweeter style, but it is dry."
"…rich wine with notably intense, citrusy flavours. Lemon-scented, it is complex, slightly spicy and minerally, with good acid spine … It shows great individuality and poise."
"Fresh, lime, steely and racy on the nose. Very complete and beautifully balanced with real pizzazz to it. Already a fine aperitif. Dry"
"Another trade mark Pegasus Bay dry Riesling...This is full of ripe stone fruits and citrus, fully textured and kaleidoscopic"
"…it's a very good Riesling made in an Alsace style with plenty of stone fruit, citrus and some floral flavours plus good richness…"
"Dry Riesling can be a difficult style to do well in our climes, but this full-flavoured example from Riesling supremos Pegasus Bay has a richness that pulls this off with aplomb. Made from late-harvest fruit from the estate's oldest vines, it's an ultra-intense wine in which notes of white peach, mandarin peel, blossom and exotic spice combine with its fresh lift of mineral, grapefruit and tongue-tingling spritz."

With September we had ten friends ready to learn and grow with us
Wee're thankful for the Pilgrims
If you're happy and you know it clap your hands
Will our groundhogs predict 6 more weeks of winter?
The kids in their second of three years in the program
Wee Care Graduates First Class
The charter class of Wee Care students graduated on May 27, 2010. These graduates have now entered kindergarten and are ready to excel in a structured learning environment. The literacy, social, conflict resolution and educational skills they gained at Wee Care make them ready to compete with their peers in the classroom.
In September, 2010, we opened our doors to 10 new children whose lives will be enriched over a three year period of structured classroom learning, as well as experiential learning, as we venture out and about in Wake County. Laurie and Ellen are eager to meet the opportunities which this new class will present. This year's "Down on the Farm" theme will be an exciting way to introduce the new students to our motto: Love to learn, learn to love.
The Wee Care website has recently been redesigned, thanks to our good friends at Spiral Lizard Web Solutions. We look forward to updating the content throughout the school year so that our friends, families and supporters can more closely follow our journey with this, our second class of Wee Care students.

RedTail Solutions has created a new program to build and support direct EDI links to several popular small business accounting software applications.
Due diligence is most commonly performed during the sale of a business. It can, however, be a useful tool for gaining a truer picture of the current state of a company whether it is up for sale or not. Here are 5 hints from TheStreet.com, for making the most of a due diligence audit: more coming.
Late in 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued a controversial ruling regarding how companies list outstanding options as expenses on their books. The impact of the new guidelines on public companies, which goes into effect in June, has attracted most of the attention. Private companies, however, are just as likely to feel the effects of the ruling when the guidelines go into effect for them in December.
The Internal Revenue Service is targeting small businesses. Concerned about widespread noncompliance with employment tax rules, the IRS in February unveiled a new form for filing employment taxes, it hopes will simplify payroll tax reporting and reduce errors.

Bush Releases New Song for Free Download
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. So what's a new mp3 from Bush worth?
Fortunately, you don't have to answer that question, because the band is giving away their new single, 'All My Life,' for free. The track, due for inclusion on the band's upcoming album 'The Sea of Memories,' is being offered at the Electronic Arts website for free download.
Why EA, you ask? The partnership came about because another track from the album – which will be made available for free download on July 25 – is being featured on EA Sports' 'NHL 12.' An unusual tie-in, perhaps, but when your band has been away for the better part of a decade, you've got to try and make a splash.
Nirvana's 'Nevermind' Getting the Deluxe Reissue Treatment With Loads of Cool Extras
It was one of the biggest albums of the '90s, helping to usher in the rise of grunge and the birth of the alternative nation, so it's only fitting that Nirvana's 'Nevermind' will celebrate its 20th birthday in style.
In fact, it looks like the upcoming deluxe reissue — consisting of four CDs and a DVD — will include everything but a scrap of flannel from Kurt Cobain's wardrobe. Though the set's final track listing is as yet unknown — and, given the fact that there's already an entire box of Nirvana rarities on the market, it seems likely that those extra discs will include some previously released material — at least one report indicates that the DVD will boast a concert making its first appearance from the vaults.
Buckcherry In Early Stages of Working on Sixth Studio Album
It was only last year that Buckcherry was rocking 'All Night Long' — but according to an interview the band recently conducted while in the UK for the 2011 Download Festival, they're already at work on their next album.
"Things are coming along good, we're having fun and we've got around five demos wrapped up but it's still very early and we need to get everyone in a room and just jam," said vocalist Josh Todd.
Eddie Vedder Honors Clarence Clemons With Touching Performance on 'Letterman' [VIDEO]
It isn't often that you get to hear someone strumming a ukulele on 'The Late Show with David Letterman,' but the host made an exception Monday night for the performer he says "single-handedly made cool."
We're talking, of course, about Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder, currently out making the promotional rounds in support of his new solo album, the aptly titled 'Ukulele Songs.' Vedder — who Letterman says was "nice enough to actually give me a guitar, and it occupies a position of honor in my home" — plunked down on a stool for a solo performance of 'Without You,' offering silent tribute to the recently deceased Clarence Clemons by way of a simple inscription, reading 'CLARENCE,' on his ukulele.
Rick Rubin Talks New Records from Metallica, Chili Peppers, ZZ Top, and More
He's been one of the most sought-after producers in rock for 25 years — and now that he's also co-chairman of Columbia Records, Rick Rubin is also one of the busiest, with his hands in a dizzying list of current and upcoming projects.
Rubin discussed a number of those albums during a recent Billboard interview, conducted to celebrate the huge success of Columbia artist Adele's new album, '21′ (which, yes, Rubin co-produced). Up next on the schedule is the latest Red Hot Chili Peppers release, which he describes as a "Red Hot Chili Peppers that you've never heard before."
Michael Anthony Says Second Chickenfoot CD Is Finished
Rock supergroups have always been notorious for flaming out quickly, so when we found out Sammy Hagar was teaming up with Joe Satriani, Michael Anthony, and Chad Smith to form Chickenfoot, we knew only time would tell if they stood the test of time.
But in spite of the scheduling difficulties (and, no doubt, ego-juggling) that comes with a collaboration this size, the band has managed to defy the odds by finishing work on its second CD.
Soundgarden Promises 'Very Heavy' New Album
They don't have a release date, a title, or even a record company waiting to get it onto the shelves, but Soundgarden is in the studio working on its first new album in 15 years – and during a pair of recent interviews, frontman Chris Cornell and guitarist Kim Thayil hinted at what fans can expect to hear.
"We're kind of doing it in stages," says Thayil, adding, "We have about 14 songs in various stages of completion. Previously, we'd just block out a bunch of time and go and track everything at once, but we can't really do that right now."
Clarence Clemons, E Street Band Saxophonist, Dead at 69
Six days after suffering a massive stroke, saxophone legend and longtime E Street Band member Clarence Clemons has died at the age of 69.
Despite initial reports that Clemons was responding well to treatment – and despite a pair of brain surgeries to repair the damage wrought by the stroke – his condition worsened as the week wore on, and he died on Saturday, June 18.
Lou Reed and Metallica to Release New Album Together
Aside from their shared love of the color black, Lou Reed and Metallica don't have much in common – Metallica are heavy metal heroes, and Reed is the unofficial poet laureate of New York. Despite the differences, the band and Reed have announced yesterday they've recorded an album together.
Reed told Ultimate Classic Rock all it took was one concert to bring them together.
A 25th anniversary Rock and Roll Hall of Fame performance in 2009 found Metallica backing up Reed for a couple of songs. "We knew from then," Reed told David Fricke of Rolling Stone, who broke the news, "that we were made for each other."

Indian Pioneer History Project for Oklahoma
Date: September 14, 1937
Name: Rolla Canard, Chief of Creek Nation
Post Office: Wetumka, Oklahoma
Field Worker: Grace Kelley Interview 7512
Wetumka Trading Post
The old trading post was on Section 27, Township 9, Range 10. That is northeast of this church, which is the Wetumka Baptist Church.
Wetumka Mission
One of the old houses is still standing; it is two miles northeast of the Wetumka Baptist Church, which is one-mile south and a half-mile east of Wetumka. Colonel ROBERTSON was the Superintendent of the Wetumka Mission, then Luke MCINTOSH, and Joe ROBERTSON was the superintendent when I left school. The Mission was started by the Presbyterians and later the Creek Nation bought it. Mrs. WRIGHT was a teacher at this Mission.
There was a burial ground just south of the school but it has been plowed up.
There is a cemetery on the main road, one mile due east from Main Street. Colonel ROBERTSON started it before the Civil War but it has not been in use since the allotment. The ground where this cemetery is located is rough and hilly and difficult of access.
CANARD Cemetery
Father and Mother lived and died and were buried on the southeast quarter of the northeast half of section sixteen, ten, twelve. That place was allotted to Jackson ALBERT and I bought it from him. There are eight graves. Some of them have tombstones. This cemetery is in a field north of Wetumka on the North Canadian River.
Medicine Man
That is a story, which is entirely secret, and of which nobody will ever get the complete details. These medicine men have songs for the different medicines, which are made for the different diseases. There is a medicine that a man can use to cause his wife to hate him if he wants her to leave him. There is another that will make her love him if she has hated him before and if he loves her and wants her to love him, too.
They can make themselves invisible, or turn themselves into animals. The knowledge of these things is handed down from one medicine man to another and nobody else knows how they are made or what they contain.
Creek Songs
As I said before, the Medicine Men have songs, which they hand down to younger Medicine Men. These songs are not written but are handed down by word of mouth.
Each dance has its particular song; the Green Corn dance has its song and so have the other dances. These songs are not written but are handed down from one generation to another. These songs are the songs of their belief.
The Creeks have hymnals, which they use in their religious meetings. These hymnals are written in Creek and are similar to the hymnbooks in churches.
Indian Names and Towns
All Indians have their tribal citizen names. I belong to the THLOP THLOCCO TOWN six miles north of Wetumka, but everybody who belongs to that town is not my relation. The name of everybody who belongs to that town is kept on their Tribal rolls though. The husband has his own town but the children follow their mother.
Formerly, Indians did not use their names so much as they do now. When John SMITH'S grandmother died she had some money coming to her but he could not get it because he did not know her right name. Everybody knew her simply as John's Grandmother.
My grandfather was named Motey KENNARD and he was Chief before the Civil War and during 1861. There were years that I did not know his name and I do not know now why he spelled his name differently from my name. The Indians would say, "Mary's aunt," in an introduction instead of saying the woman's whole name as they do now.
Indian Police
They came after the Light Horseman but I do not know much to tell about them. I worked under the Field Clerk but did not make arrests; I just worked in Muskogee.
My father and mother died when I was ten or twelve years old so my brother allotted me as I was living with him.
The Way The Indians Pick Their Pastors
When for some reason a church loses its pastor they pick an active member, one whom is doing good work in the church and who thinks he would like to be their minister. They try him for six months or a year to see if he will make a good minister, and if the church progresses and gets along right they then ordain him a minister and he is their pastor from then on. But if the attendance begins to fall off, if there are not enough conversions, and the church is losing ground then they try another. That is, they make their ministers in the pulpit instead of in a university and choose them from men who hear the call of God instead of the call of the pay they will get.
Clan Kin
My mother was a BEAVER, which is the same as BIRD. My father was a TURKEY, which is also a BIRD, so I am a fullblood BIRD as I get BIRD from both sides. That was for identification. A young man might go to a different part of the country and meet a pretty girl. He would not know he had any relations in that part of the country but when they found they both had the same Clan they would know they were related and being relatives they could not marry. But if they had different clans they could get married, as they were not related.
Robert CARR, the father of Mrs. Ada SMITH and S. A. ALEXANDER south of Wetumka were the biggest ranchers in this vicinity. They had mostly horses and hogs, not very many cattle.
Ball Games
I was in the Odessa and Arbem Towns ball game in 1926 or 1927. This ball game was played on grounds east of Spring Hill. It was not an old grudge fight but was to be a regular ball game when it started.
Transcribers comments:
My father Lawrence Monroe HOGUE and my Aunt Sybil reminisced about the Hogue family living on Rolla Canards place, or "Roley's Place" during the late 1920's and 1930's. They said their dad Oscar Samuel Hogue was a good farmer and shared-farmed on Roley's property for a living. Share farming was farming the land of another and sharing the crop produced from it. Rolla Canard was a full-blooded Creek Indian and was Chief of the Creek Tribe and pastor of the outside church near Wetumka. The outside church had a wooden canopy and wooden benches for the people to sit. Dad and Sybil remember there were some good gatherings there. Dad said people use to line up table's end to end and there would be every kind of food you could think of on top of these tables. Sometimes the Creek Indians would swing a ham tied to a rope from a tree branch, shooting arrows at it. The first to hit the ham with an arrow got the ham.
Dad remembered one time on Roley's Place that an Indian walked into the house they were living in and hugged the heater stove to keep warm because it was freezing cold outside. The Indian never spoke a word and after warming himself, walked out and they never saw him again. Dad said they would never forget that Indian!
There was a barn on Roley's Place and the Hogue's kept a wooden storage chest in it. Inside the chest were many personal valuables that were kept for sentimental purposes. Dad remembers his father Oscar going into the barn to get the bible out of the chest. Oscar would spend time in the barn reading the bible.
One day the barn was struck by a bolt of lighting which was so powerful it tore through the roof, through the hayloft, and made a hole in the concrete floor. It was very loud. As a result, the barn caught fire and burned to the ground. The Hogue storage chest was completely burned. Dad and Sybil remember they stayed in the cellar during the storm and that someone had to run into the town of Wetumka to tell their dad [Oscar] the barn caught fire. I asked my dad if the fire department responded. He said that the fire department could not get there because the truck could not cross the flooded & muddy creek on Roley's property.
It wasn't long after the barn burned that Rolla Canard let Oscar Hogue "Go". It wasn't because Oscar was a bad farmer, but because Roley lost a good mare and probably didn't want to buy another one and without the mares you couldn't plow the fields.
My dad remembers Rolla Canard as always seeing to the Hogue Family while they lived on this property. "We never did without." Dad remembers that as a kid he would pick potato bugs off the potatoes for Roley and when finished, Roley would hand him a nickel. In those days a nickel was a lot to a kid.

It's an everyname index. I couldn't find someone I was looking for, even though
I knew he was in PA, probably in Essex county. I did a search on the son's first
name, in PA, in Essex Co, without the last name filled in. Then I scrolled the
list to the B section (which last name started with), and found the family. The
surname was totally butchered, which is why I never found it in soundex films
(the butchered name has different soundex #), and why searching on the surname
didn't work either. Turns out that dad was listed as F instead of Frank, thought
he rest of the family had their whole names. So, in this case, I had to search
on the child's first name only.
You can also search on state, county, town, and see everyone in alpha order.
Once you find your family, you can click on neighbors and see the original
I LOVE it!

Darling, Come Back, and Other NewsBy Dan Piepenbring
- In Taiwan, a commemorative Valentine's Day train ticket sold out in less than an hour: it takes you from "Dalin (大林, pronounced similarly to 'darling' in English) station in Chiayi County to Gueilai (歸來, literally: 'come back')." A journey any of us should be willing to make after we've behaved badly. It's love on a real train.

Hello folks!
I'm interested in use m0n0wall as a gateway in a network that will be
deployed soon! I'll have around 1000 users. I'm concerned because I have
made a test here and I was unable to use an router/nat device with
m0n0wall. With the router/nat I can't browse any site! Without this
router/nat the computer works fine and I can access the internet!
I have enable the captive portal and enabled the option "Disable MAC
filtering", but doesn't work also! I would like to know if there is any
possible configuration that allow the use of router/nat devices in the
network. Because in a network with 1000 users it's possible that some
one will share it's connection with a similar device!
Thanks you all!!
