Here are a few items that caught my eye of late while clipping newspaper articles. One astonishes (that anyone made it through alive!), one will make you wince, the others may just give you a chuckle to start your week — oh, and a little European and literary history thrown in for good measure.
As I write today's article on Sunday evening we are having our third straight night of storms. The first night the wind just blew HARD, almost tearing a couple of tomato plants out of the garden and breaking off a stem or two. Last night the rain came down in sheets with winds of probably at least forty miles per hour (or more). I was afraid the garden would be devastated but it actually weathered the storm pretty well, all things considered.
Tonight it is steadily raining and we're being treated to a lightning show. It reminded me of a clipping I came across recently from the June 18, 1896 Kirksville (Missouri) Weekly Graphic. I can't imagine what it would feel like to have this happen (it would have scared the bejeebers out of me!):
During the rain storm last Saturday afternoon the residence of Rev. W.E. Chambliss was struck by lightning. The electric fluid entered at one of the dinning [sic] room windows, tearing off the shutter. From the dining room it skipped to the kitchen, shocking Mrs. Chambliss and knocking over a little daughter, who was in this room with her mother, and for a moment converting a gasoline stove into a huge electric light. It then left the building by the door as unceremoniously as it had entered at the window, slightly damaging some of the wood work near the floor. Fortunately no serious damage was done and none of the family was seriously injured.
Bet that was some sermon the reverend preached the next day!
Has Donkey Trouble
From the July 2, 1934 issue of the Lincoln Star:
William C. Cook, Wichita Falls, Tex., will have to answer in police court for the sins of his long-eared, sad-eyed donkey, J. Wellington Wimpy. It seems Mr. Wimpy has developed a liking for beer. He is one of the donkeys employed by a troupe which plays baseball on donkey back. Friday night Cook rode Wimpy into a beer tavern and demanded suds for his charger. Wimpy got too much and caused a riot. M. Earl O'Brien, tavern owner, called the law. Wimpy and Cook went to the hoosegow.
Dancing Straight to Jail
This Wilmington, Delaware man decided jail might be a better option (Lebanon Daily News, 15 May 1924):
Charley Curran has decided jail is better than a dance marathon. As long as he footed along in the marathon – he was shuffling through for more than 800 hours – he could keep out of jail where his wife decided he should go for alimony inconsistencies. The marathon promoters paid the alimony as long as he danced. But Charley go tired, the payments stopped and the jail has Charley now.
Victim of Horse's Kick Swallows Part of Teeth
Think you're having a bad day? What about this unfortunate fellow of Edon, Indiana who had a run-in with a horse:
Joseph Robinett, a prominent farmer living three miles west of Edon, who was kicked in the face by a horse last Thursday, is recovering. He was wanted at the telephone, and a member of his family went to the barn to call him and found him in an unconscious condition behind the horse's heels. His teeth had been broken and he had swallowed a part of the teeth and a broken plate.
Bad English in Court Draws 30 Day Jail Term
For some reason it took me awhile to decipher the "bad English" in this article, but this Footedale, Pennsylvania man found out it didn't pay to swear in court before a judge (the judge apparently had some difficulty understanding it as well):
Emile Polkabla, young Footedale miner, lost his liberty yesterday afternoon when he forgot himself while on the witness stand in court and started to speak the Queen's English.
Emile was both defending and prosecuting surety of the peace charges with John Koballa, a nearby neighbor. In addition Polkabla is charged with being the father of a baby which Mary Koballa, a daughter of John, is anticipating in the near future.
"Heezadamliar," shouted out Emile when he took the witness stand. "How's that," asked Judge D.W. Henderson, who thought he misunderstood. "Heezeadamliar," repeated Emile all in one.
"Is that so," replied Judge Henderson, "Well, young man, just take 30 days in the county jail until you learn how to conduct yourself in a court room."
In addition Emile was directed to pay all costs on both proceedings and further at the end of the 30 days when liberty and sunshine greets him again he must post a bond of $500 to further keep the peace.
Deputy Sheriff Preacher Brady led the Footedale man over the bridge of sighs.1
That last phrase, "bridge of sighs", caught my eye – what does that mean? At first I thought it might have been a typo, but a quick search revealed some interesting European and literary history. The "Bridge of Sighs" was mentioned in Lord Byron's poem Childe Harold's Pilgrimage which chronicled his travels to foreign lands.
This bridge, Ponte de Sospiri, is located in Venice, Italy, one of over four hundred bridges which span the canals. Built by Antonio Contino in 1600, the bridge was attached to the Doge's palace (the Duke's residence) which also served as an inquisitor's or judge's office. Across the way was the state prison.
The bridge was the path prisoners took when transported from their appearance before the judge to the prison or vice versa. "Its name stems from the popular belief of sadness and the sighs of condemned prisoners as they were led through it to the executioner."2
The term "Bridge of Sighs" was used after Byron's poem was published. The prison building was older than the palace and had long ago been used by the Church during the Inquisition, for non-believers and people suspected of witchcraft.
Whoever wrote the article must have known their literary history rather well, depicting Emile "poetically" escorted to the nearby jail, albeit not to be executed. Just another reason I love history and writing this blog — even the stuff you learn from obscure little news clippings. As I find so often, one thing leads to another and I've learned something new today!
Have a GREAT day . . . someday it will be HISTORY!

Still no dice. Still wants a reboot, and it "shows" as being DHCP, even though it's static. Does the same even if I'm logged in as administrator. However, the other issues I was having owing to a SERIOUSLY hosed Winsock catalog are gone. I'll continue to look at that other article as well.
You reboot and then it was dhcp again..strange. Did something remove the ip address form registry? If so: Edit in registry the ip address manually and look if it keeps the value in registry after reboot.

hmm; I prefer fixed addresses too so I can have special firewall rules for specific ranges of ip addresses.
To effect fixed IPs, I let the DHCP in the router interact with Address Reservation list, using the MAC address of the NIC to predict the desired IP address. As I'm on a laptop, this works well too for hotspot usage as the router is still at home and all that stuff doesn't interfere with hotspot configurations.

Sorry about the late response; Real Life(R) got in the way.
In any event, I did manage to figure out a lot of my issues. It mainly has to do with permissions on the \HKLM\System\ControlSetxxx\Services\TCPIP key. It turns out that some of the permissions were missing. I read off the permissions from a known-working Windows 7 system, and now I can not only view, but change, the IPv4 configuration just fine.
About the only thing left is that I STILL have to reboot to get things, which is now an annoyance but still deal-with-able. I'll refer to the link earlier in the thread for more info.

As of right now, everything is now working as they should. Found that Tweaking.com's Windows Repair (All In One) finished the job by resetting the registry's permissions to a reasonably-close-to-default state (which I now have to bugger up for my own purposes *evil grin*). Now, TCP/IP settings work as they should again.

\\\"I don\'t want to be a member of AMMA anymore\" : Thilakan
Thilakan on a prominent news channel after being expelled from AMMA for life, said that he didnt want to be a member of the association any more. This association will not let an artiste progress. Every decision that the association took today against me was preplanned. I wasted 5000 rupees as taxi fare to come to the meeting, that I should have given away to the poor and needy. Doing a job is a fundamental right. Denying it is not a right thing to do. I have talent that is inborn, and an experience of fifty four years in the acting profession. This is why they are scared of me. Also, I will react when I see something wrong. Why was I not made an executive member of AMMA till now? Thilakan asked. He said that he didnt really need an AMMA or a FEFCA to carry on acting. Within a month there would be announcement of a new film in which he would do the chief role. If an association displays mafia like qualities,then what should I call it? I would call it a mafia organization and not a flower. Today after my expulsion, it is clear that AMMA is a mafia organization, Thilakan said. Thilakan also said that today he knows who his real friends are. Truth will definitely reign supreme. He said that he was considering legal action against AMMA now, and added that he has already filed a case against FEFCA

A soldier's sign left Miranda Lambert in tears during a concert on Aug. 19 in Hartford, Connecticut.
Lambert was singing the first verse of "The House That Built Me" when the sign caught her eye.
"3 combat tours. [Your] voice was the last thing I listened to EVERY NIGHT! THANK YOU!!!" the special message read.
The singer picked up the poster and held it up for the entire venue to see. The clip above shows her in tears showing it to her band.
"Second verse, I gotta get a drink. Y'all, I gotta do it," Lambert said before walking toward the back of the stage.
She would have the audience finish the song as she wiped away tears with a scarf on her microphone stand.

Anime/Game crossover - Catherine
I'm thinking that everyone on this blog is an anime fan, at some level or another. What I don't know is how many video game fans are reading as well. I'd like to think that the crossover is pretty good, but you never really know. With that said, I'm going to take the time to mention a crossover between the two worlds of entertainment, and it's name is Catherine.
There have been many anime-related games before, but there's not many projects that look to merge the two worlds as much as Catherine does. This Atlus title is part interactive visual novel and part puzzle game, but it/s 100% anime. From my understanding, you'll be doing a lot more watching of anime in Catherine than you do playing, but I'm completely fine with that!
Games are known for featuring anime-style character portraits but the in-game visuals don't usually match that presentation. Catherine is a title that works hard to bridge those two visual styles together into one cohesive experience. Catherine is filled with actual anime footage made just for the game, but the in-game visuals mimic that visual style as closely as possible. The end results are pretty impressive, and definitely enough to get anime fans interested.
Even if you're not into gaming, you should do yourself a favor and check out what Catherine has to offer. For those of you with a 360/PS3, you can download a free demo of the experience today. I plan on doing that this week and offering up my impressions a bit later. Hopefully some of you guys and gals are willing to give this anime game a shot!

African Tribal ArtFang Ngontang Mask Gabon Material: wood, pigment Condition: weathering, cracks, overall good Size: approx 15" (38 cm ) Weight: 2.40 kg ref J1140
Fang Ngontang MaskGabon
This is a very old and rare Fang ngontang mask from Gabon. It has cut-outs on each side to fit over the shoulders of the wearer and a series of holes for him to see out of. In between the faces, on either side, is a relief carving of a crocodile.This is a genuine tribal item between 50 and 70 years old, with signs of long use -- cf. the example illustrated in JB Bacquart, The Tribal Arts of Africa , p.127. Ngontang , the white maiden of the Fang, is a spirit who returns to her village to seek out sorcerers and witches. Her four faces make her all-seeing. These masks were usually decorated with elaborate plumage when danced. West African colonial authorities opposed the old tribal cults in the early decades of the last century, identifying them with political and social disobedience. Retreating from byeri and ngil left the Fang exposed to malign spirits and bereft of ancestral protection. Christianity was not a solution for all and many Fang transferred old beliefs into new forms, including ngontang , a cult which both honours the ancestors and offers protection against witches. ... read more

Michael N.wrote a question about Lib Technologies T.Rice Pro Model C2 BTX Snowboard on November 5, 2009
Thinking of going with the T.Rice Pro...
Thinking of going with the T.Rice Pro Model C2 BTX for my powder board this winter. However, I'm not sure whether to go with the 161.5cm of 164.cm. While I'm 5'11", 155lbs and probably should ride the 161.5cm per standard sizing recs, I've been riding a Burton Custom X 160cm as my all mountain board, so I'm wondering if I should step up to the T.Rice 164.5cm given that I've already been riding a longer stick.
Any advice would be most appreciated as I'm in limbo as to what size of the T.Rice to buy given that I'm primarily just looking to ride it on powder days.

|How to Go from Paris' Gare de l'Est Railway Station
to our Office, or to our Guest Apartments, in the Same Building
You have just stumbled off your train at the Gare de l'Est. Now you have to make your way to our office.
We are the glass-doored commerce, between numbers 2 & 4 of the rue Dussoubs, in Paris' 2nd Arrondissement. The closest métro stop is Etienne-Marcel, on line 4, on a direct line from the Gare de l'Est.
Here is a link to the Google neighborhood map. The site of the Etienne-Marcel station is misidentified, however: it is one block down and to the left, at the crossroads of the rue de Turbigo and the rue Etienne-Marcel, on the southeast side of the intersection.
To Reach Us Generalities
You will be taking the métro, Paris' underground railway.
Locating Your Train
Find your way into the underground station, clearly signed from the train concourse.
Purchasing Your Ticket
Once at the ticket window or the automatic machines, buy a carnet de billets (pronounced "car-nay' duh bee-yea'" (don't pronounce the t's in either word, nor the s at the end of billets). If you wish to say please, it is "see voo play," is said after the "car-nay" stuff, and will be appreciated.)
This is a batch of 10 tickets, valid for travel on all Paris métro and bus lines. Unless you are headed immediately out of town, you will have plenty of chances to use them. They are a bit more than half the price of single tickets. And, to avoid your getting stuck with tickets you can use, we buy any unused ones you want to sell for 1€ each. The machines will label the tickets with part or all of the following words: Carnet de 10 billets, plein tarif (not "demi-tarif,"half fare, unless you have children under 12 travelling with you, in which case you can buy a separate carnet for them). They are sometimes called "Tickets T," which is a brand name signifying that they are valid within the urban center, and not for travel to outer suburbs.
One time-saving note: Thalys and Eurostar trains from northern Europe or London, respectively, sell Paris métro tickets in the café car. They cost a few cents more, but can save you a lot of time.
General notes about riding the métro:
Making Your Trip
Step 2
Our storefront is the unprepossessing (it's your money) glass door between numbers 2 and 4, on your right after you turn into the rue Dussoubs. If the iron curtain is still down it means we aren't up yet. If the curtain is up, but the front room is dark, it means that we've gone out for coffee, or are in the basement. Try knocking on the glass door with a key or a coin (so that we can hear you from the basement), or looking into local bars. Or wait: we'll be back soon.

This is a question that can cause a great deal of consternation amongst religious scholars. And it can be a brutal fight. Some folks prefer what is known at the "textus receptus" – which is basically what the King James uses as its basis. It's basically the standard text that came out of the middle ages, and it's a pretty good text. However, since then, more texts have been found, and then there are questions of variants (think typos that got copied over time). So there are different Greek texts that have been assembled – there's Nestle Aland's (which had been the standard one in the LCMS – but now they have said that they are going to be constantly updating and revising it, which is slightly annoying because we don't want to keep changing everything all the time as that just gets confusing). I myself ended up using the UBS 4th Edition… because it's small, has easy to read text, and it also has a dictionary in the back which I think is incredibly handy. I also have the SBL Greek from Biblegateway on my phone just as a handy reference.
What I will say is this. 99% of the time, it doesn't matter. The texts are actually highly, highly uniform – so unless you are doing some in-depth scholarly work, just work first and foremost on looking at the Greek. If you are really interested, get a Nestle Aland or the UBS version, and it will have on the bottom of the page something called the "Critical Apparatus" – which will basically record the variants and note where the variants are found.
Most of the time, even the variants won't make a large difference – it will be word order or what have you.
There are three big old texts that tend to be highly important – those are the Codex Sinaiticus (it's denoted in the apparatus with a big aleph or a bold 01) and Codex Alexandrinus (a big A or 02) – both of which are at the British Museum — I got to read a page of John out of Sinaiticus when I visited there a few years ago. The third big one is Codex Vaticanus (B or 03). These tend to be the versions that have more… weight?
+ + + + + + + + +
If this seems heavy and intimidating – I'll say this. Don't worry about it. In my undergraduate days, I was a Classicist. I studied ancient Greek texts – and part of the problem was that there would be so few copies of ancient texts – there would be breaks where there would be nothing extant – it was frustrating. With the Scriptures we have an overabundance of texts – enough texts that any secular Classicist would dance a jig over. It's a good thing. However – we get typos and the telephone game. In the ancient world, copies were made by scribes writing down as someone spoke – and if you are reading, sometimes you accidentally flip word order… and that would get copied down and then passed on. Or sometimes when you are writing fast, letters can get sloppy – is that an "s" or an "n" (or I guess I should say sigma or nu). These things happen – they are the typos of the ancient world. And most of the time it's clearly a typo or just makes the grammar a bit sloppy but doesn't change anything.
There are some passages that don't show up – there's debate about those. Do what most bible do – translate them but toss in a footnote.
And if you are looking at this mainly as a layman, I'd recommend lining up your Greek with whatever English version your congregation uses. We use the ESV – that ties into the Nestle Aland. So default there. If your congregation uses King James or New King James (which actually is my favorite modern translation), go with the Textus Receptus. And note differences if they show up – but more than anything pay attention to the Greek there – see some of the fullness and richness that just gets lost in translation, and you will do well.
Hope this helps,

Trumpcare Is Back
Last month, Obamacare repeal was so unpopular it couldn't get a vote in the House of Representatives. Today, a new version of that bill is back on the table, and this time it has support from some of the most conservative members of the House. Here's what's in the new bill and how it would affect your health care.
